Chapter 175 During the palace coup

"Yun Qinqing stole the throne from my ancestors back then, and our lineage has been trying to get our things back for so many years. Father, you and your ancestors have enjoyed the worship of the people for a hundred years, and it's time to give back. Today is the day I take back the country. Do you have any objections?"

"Lord Prince Lu, when did you steal the jade seal and make such a fake imperial edict? You are just rebelling." How could the old general Lu admit it?

This happened a hundred years ago, who would remember it.

The throne has been passed on for four or five generations.

"Yes, you are rebelling, and you are unworthy of the emperor's trust in you all these years. You actually repay kindness with enmity." General Chen also roared.

"Lord Lu, why are you doing this? Now the government is stable and the people are living in peace. If you do this, it will cause unrest. Other countries are always eyeing our Yanyan covetously. You want to destroy your country." Wu Manjiang said with great sorrow.

"Hmph, I am trying to set things right. This kingdom originally belonged to our branch. Okay, stop talking nonsense. Father, will you take the initiative to write the decree of succession and hand over the jade seal, or do you want me to get it myself?"

"Lu'er, I adopted you as my son because I value you, but you coveted my kingdom. I'll give you a chance to stop, and don't blame me for being rude if you persist in your delusion."

Yun Hongxiao sat steadily on the dragon chair, his face unchanged, and he displayed the majesty of an emperor to the fullest.

"Father, I will call you father again. But actually I should call you uncle, uncle of several generations.

Now outside Minghe Hall are all my people. The palace guards of the whole palace have been controlled by my people. It is impossible for you to have someone to rescue you. Fifty thousand soldiers and horses have also surrounded the imperial city."

After Yun Xinglu said this, the sound of swords and knives came from outside.

That is, his people have been slowly gathered outside.

"Dear courtiers, you have to think clearly. Whether to continue to be loyal to Yun Hongxiao or choose another wise master, those who can walk out of here today are those who recognize me, Yun Xinglu."

Yun Xinglu said to the courtiers and their families present.

This is a real threat, shocking the whole audience.

In other words, anyone who agrees with Yun Xinglu's ascension to the throne can survive, or continue to serve as an official in the future. Those who disagree or resist will die today.

After hearing his words, some timid female relatives began to cry.

The voices became more and more numerous and louder.

Yun Xinglu did not stop them. The louder the crying, the greater the pressure on Yun Hongxiao and the officials.

The sound of fighting outside became quieter and quieter, and slowly, it could no longer be heard.

A general with a big knife ran in.

"Your Majesty, the entire former dynasty has been controlled by us." The general clasped his fists to Yun Xinglu and reported.

After hearing this, the crying became louder.

Some men also cried.

"Your Majesty, what should I do with my family? My death is not a pity, but my child has just been born." An official dragged his limp body, knelt and crawled to the center of the hall, kowtowed deeply to Yun Hongxiao, and then crawled behind Yun Xinglu.

Once there was one, there would be two, and several officials followed suit.

Some did not even need to admit their mistakes to Yun Hongxiao, and directly crawled behind Yun Xinglu with difficulty. Although everyone was limp, they could still stand up with difficulty.

Yun Hongxiao did not say anything, just watched everyone make choices.

This is also the best time to test people's hearts.

Enjoying the worship of his own ministers every day, he did not know how many of them were truly loyal to the emperor and the country, how many were greedy and afraid of death, and how many had already turned to Yun Xinglu.

Now it's good, it can be tested at once.

A quarter of an hour later, one-fifth of the officials in the court stood behind Yun Xinglu. These were only the officials above the fifth rank. There was no telling how many minor officials had not entered the palace today.

Yun Hongxiao closed his eyes deeply. He had not failed too badly. At least not all the civil and military officials in the court had betrayed him.

Among these one-fifth, some had already sided with Yun Xinglu, and some were really afraid of death.

Today, they made a choice and had to bear the consequences of their choice.

"Uncle, have you thought about it? The life and death of these people are in your hands. As long as you make a decision, you can decide their life and death. But I am not a bloodthirsty person. As long as you hand over the imperial power happily, I guarantee that they will not have to die, and they can still serve as officials in the court in the future." Yun Xinglu said proudly.

"Lu'er, think carefully. If you stop now, I can spare your life. After all, we are father and son, and I give you this grace because you saved my life." Yun Hongxiao wanted to persuade him again. "Your

Majesty, don't persuade him. He is a reckless man who can't be pulled back by ten cows." Feng Zuwen spoke at this time.

The two looked at each other and exchanged their decisions.

Yun Hongxiao blew a whistle, and twenty dragon shadow guards suddenly floated down from the top of the hall, protecting Yun Hongxiao and the concubines, princes and princesses who were closer to him.

The appearance of these people was already expected by Yun Xinglu.

"Uncle, do you think these twenty people can change the outcome?" Yun Xinglu laughed and said.

Yun Hongxiao stood up without saying anything, without any feeling of weakness, and then walked to a big drum nearby, picked up the drumstick and hit it five times.

Suddenly, the door of Minghe Hall closed, and four shadow guards came out from behind the door.

And then there were shouts of killing outside.

Yun Xinglu was startled, what happened?

Feng Zuwen and his son, and Chen Zhizhong and his son suddenly stood up as if nothing had happened.

Yun Hongxiao pulled out various weapons from under his dragon chair and threw them to several people one by one.

"Lu'er, I gave you the opportunity, but you didn't seize it, so I won't be polite. My dear Feng, my dear Chen, take down this traitor for me." Yun Hongxiao gave an order.

Feng Zuwen took the lead and went straight to kill Yun Xinglu.

A big fight started in the hall, and everyone used all their strength to climb towards the wall.

Yun Hongxiao arranged a few shadow guards to help those who couldn't climb to the side.

At this time, Feng Zuwen and his son did not hide their strength at all, and started killing.

Song Shuqing had never seen such a bloody scene before, but she still tried to suppress it, hugged Feng Tianxing tightly, and covered her daughter's eyes and ears with her hands.

But Feng Tianxing didn't appreciate it, and pulled down her mother's hand, watching with relish.

The people brought by Yun Xinglu were all good at martial arts, and the two sides fought hard.

These were all talents he carefully cultivated, and they were all brought today.

But he was unlucky and met the Feng family who had cheats.

Feng Zuwen directly faced Yun Xinglu.

He didn't kill Yun Xinglu at the beginning. Seeing him struggling on the brink of life and death was extremely exciting.

Yun Xinglu was more and more surprised as he fought. Feng Zuwen's martial arts had indeed improved a lot compared to before.

But I didn't see him taking any medicine.

Shouts and screams were heard in the hall.

The people brought by Yun Xinglu fell one after another.
