As soon as he finished speaking and was waiting for the fourth time, a majestic voice sounded outside the hall.
"Indeed, your abilities are not enough to rule the world."
When everyone heard the sound, they all turned to look at the entrance of the hall, and saw a bright yellow figure appear before them.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at Emperor Wenxuan in disbelief.
Seeing this, the princes and even most of the ministers showed joy on their faces, except for the people of Gu Fan's lineage, whose faces suddenly changed. Among them, Gu Fan was the most horrified.
How is that possible!
Isn't he dead? Why is he here?
Emperor Wenxuan looked at Gu Fanzhi with a stern gaze, and Gu Fanzhi's heart trembled at his cold gaze. When he caught a glimpse of General Long and the other commanders of the Imperial Guards from the corner of his eye, he felt more confident.
"Father, you have already abdicated the throne to me. You should have a good rest now. I will handle the state affairs." Gu Fanzhi straightened his back and said quietly.
When Emperor Wenxuan heard his self-proclaimed name, his expression remained calm, "Do you know what you are doing?"
"I am naturally doing what I should do. Father, you are already old. When you are old, you should retire and let your son share your responsibilities. You should stay in the palace and rest well. Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing and live the same life as before."
The Fifth Prince immediately shouted angrily, "Gu Fanzhi, are you planning to put my father under house arrest? You are truly a traitor."
Gu Fanzhi had long been fed up with the Fifth Prince's mad dog-like biting, so he decided to use him as an example to scare the monkeys.
"Come here, arrest the Fifth Prince."
However, no one from the Imperial Guards or the Dragon and Tiger Army moved.
Gu Fanzhi shouted again, "Are you all deaf? Capture the Fifth Prince."
Still no one obeyed his orders, which made Gu Fanzhi feel uneasy, and the color on his face gradually faded.
When the princes and ministers saw this, they all showed joy on their faces and looked at him as if they were watching a show.
"General Long, Commander Fang." Gu Fanzhi looked at the two generals.
The two men walked in front of Emperor Wenxuan, standing beside him, one on his left and one on his right. The meaning was self-evident.
"You..." Gu Fanzhi pointed at them, feeling so angry that he felt dizzy.
General Long said, "Your Highness, I, Long, will serve His Majesty faithfully for the rest of my life. I cannot afford your gold, silver, and treasures."
Commander Fang also said something similar.
Gu Fanzhi is not a fool, so he naturally understands everything.
He fell into the trap set by his father.
He was plotted against, and the person who plotted against him was his good father, his good father emperor.
"Have you known this for a long time?" Gu Fanzhi looked at Emperor Wenxuan and shouted hysterically.
Emperor Wenxuan said coldly, "If you can't even see through this, how can you rule the world, manage the country, and ensure the people live and work in peace and contentment?"
Gu Fanzhi's legs went weak and he fell to the ground, his mind going blank.
Emperor Wenxuan didn't dare to worry about what happened to him and gave the order directly.
"Anyone involved in planning this will be imprisoned and tried at a later date."
The Royal Guards entered the hall and captured all the people from Gu Fan's lineage.
Someone immediately shouted, "Your Majesty, I didn't know the edict in the Fourth Prince's hand was fake. I was deceived."
"Your Majesty, I was deceived by the Fourth Prince and this is why I acted so foolishly. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy."
…
The group was dragged out.
