1968 is a difficult day. Everyone chooses to make trouble today.

This day was considered a difficult day for Dongling. Not only at the Su Mansion, but also at the city gate, a major incident occurred, causing problems for the entire city entrance and exit.

Several siege chariots appeared out of nowhere and attacked the city walls frantically outside the city gate, crushing ordinary people. In a short period of time, countless innocent people died tragically, and the soldiers guarding the city were crushed to pieces by the chariots.

The city gate was in chaos with blood flowing like a river. Screams and cries were intertwined. People waiting to enter the city ran into the city like crazy, but were killed by chariots one by one. They wanted to retreat, but the chariots blocked their way. At this moment, it seemed that there was no other choice except death.

The guards arrived, but they were unable to get inside the chariot for a while, and could only barely control the chaos and guide the people to avoid the tragic deaths of innocent people.

The siege chariots causing trouble outside the city gate were not big, but they were in no way more powerful than the chariots on the battlefield of Night City. The Guards had never seen the power of the chariots. Although they had heard of the fighting methods, they had never been on the battlefield, so they were in a panic when facing the siege chariots.

The attack failed and the soldiers who were in the front were killed. The general guarding the city and the governor of the nine gates saw that the matter was too serious and dared not conceal it. They immediately sent people to the palace to report and ask the emperor to send troops to them.

In the royal temple, facing the strong attack of the Hundred Ghosts Palace, the secret guards and the imperial guards had a hard time resisting. In order to prevent the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager Xie and others from getting into trouble, the imperial guards and the secret guards all sent out signals, requesting the palace to send people to reinforce.

However, at this hour, all those who were in charge of giving orders were in the hall and could not go out at all.

In fact, Fu Lin was really careless in this matter. As the most trusted confidant of the retired emperor, he didn't even know that the retired emperor could stand up and speak normally, and he actually let the retired emperor kill them by surprise.

Yes, at the morning court today, the emperor suddenly appeared and took control of the Forbidden Palace.

The retired emperor dispatched a group of people from somewhere and surrounded the Forbidden Palace unexpectedly. The commander of the imperial guards was replaced immediately. The people below didn't know what was going on and only knew to follow the orders from above. Not only could Wang Jinling and others not get out, but even people outside were not allowed to come in.

The reason why the retired emperor launched the rebellion at this time was naturally to restore his throne and demand that all civil and military officials recognize his identity as emperor.

The retired emperor ignored everyone's shock, walked straight to the front of the hall, ordered someone to carry the little emperor down, sat directly on the dragon throne, and waited for civil and military officials to pay their respects.

The officials headed by Wang Jinling would naturally not recognize the retired emperor as the emperor. Wang Jinling took the initiative and shouted loudly without waiting for the retired emperor to speak: "The retired emperor is seriously ill and mentally unclear. Someone... send the retired emperor back to the palace."

Wang Jinling's words were already rebellious, but he had no choice. The King of Jiangnan, the King of Qing, and even the King of Zhou could ascend the throne, but the Emperor Retired could not. If the Emperor Retired wanted to ascend the throne again, the Wang family would be exterminated.

The guards guarding the palace gate were naturally the Ninth Prince's confidants. As soon as Wang Jinling gave the order, they rushed to the palace, clasped their hands together, and said to the Emperor, "I will respectfully escort the Emperor back to the palace."

As he spoke, he rushed to the front of the hall, ready to take the retired emperor away by force. Unexpectedly, an old eunuch suddenly stood up from behind the retired emperor, and with just one move, the old eunuch knocked the guard out of the hall.

Wang Jinling frowned: force can defeat skill. Even in the most polite palace in the world, fists are still the key. I'm afraid this won't end well.

"Hmph..." The retired emperor snorted coldly and sat motionless on the dragon throne. His dull and turbid eyes had long been replaced by a sharp edge.

The emperor's eyes slowly swept over everyone, and finally stopped at Wang Jinling. He said with a hint of sarcasm: "It seems that Lord Wang's eye disease has not yet healed. I have to summon the imperial physician to treat Lord Wang properly."

"My eye disease has long been cured. The emperor is old and mentally unclear. I would like to ask him to return to the palace to rest." Wang Jinling did not move, but lied with his eyes open, not taking the emperor's anger to heart at all.

"How dare you." The retired emperor shouted angrily. In the past, when he was still the emperor, all the ministers in the court would be scared to kneel down by his shout. But today, these people did not move. A few timid ones were so scared that they broke out in cold sweat and their legs trembled. They wanted to kneel down but did not dare to.

It is unlucky to be a minister. It is crucial to take sides at this time. If you take the wrong side, it will be terrible.

But in this situation, how should they stand on the side?

The Ninth Prince was in the Imperial Mausoleum, and distant water could not quench a nearby fire. Now, the Emperor who was diagnosed as paralyzed in bed by the imperial physician stood up and walked into the palace with a master in high spirits. This was simply a threat to their lives.

The reaction of the courtiers made the emperor very dissatisfied. He glanced at several old officials and asked coldly, "Do you also think that I am ill to the point of losing my mind?"

These old ministers secretly complained, but when the emperor pointed it out, they had to speak out, so they knelt down tremblingly and said, "I am terrified. There is no two suns in the sky, and no two masters in a country. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

What these ministers actually wanted to say the most was: Your Majesty, please forgive us. We have no right to interfere with how brothers or fathers and sons fight in your royal family. Please don't try to trick us into trouble. We just want to be good officials and don't want any credit for following you.

"There can be no two suns in the sky, and no two masters in a country. I was unwell that day, so I abdicated the throne to the crown prince. Now I have recovered and the crown prince is still young. Is there anything wrong with me restoring the throne to him?" With just one sentence, the retired emperor rejected the young emperor, calling him the crown prince all the time and completely refusing to acknowledge the young emperor's identity.

"Your Majesty, what has been done cannot be undone." Wang Jinling still smiled, not affected at all by the pressure from the retired emperor.

At this moment, he could not retreat even a single step. If he did, he would be doomed.

"You think so too?" The retired emperor glanced at all the officials with sharp eyes. Their legs went weak and they knelt down with a thud. However, although they knelt, they did not dare to acknowledge the identity of the retired emperor.

They now acknowledge the restoration of the Supreme Emperor. What will they do if the Ninth Prince comes back?

But if they don't admit it, and the emperor is successfully restored to the throne, what will they do when they are held accountable?

Oh my God, this is simply life-threatening.

The civil and military officials all had sad faces and were secretly regretting that if they had known earlier, they would have called for sick leave today. Coming to the morning court today was simply courting death.

All the civil and military officials prostrated themselves at his feet, allowing the emperor to feel the pleasure of ruling the world and having the power of life and death, and his aura became even stronger.

Therefore, when the emperor saw the three people standing upright in the hall and being extremely conspicuous, he was extremely dissatisfied, and this dissatisfaction reached its peak after he saw Fu Lin.

"Master Fu, do you also think I'm sick?" The emperor emphasized the word "sick" very much, and his words caused all the civil and military officials to look up. When they saw this, they were dumbfounded...

In the center of the hall, only Wang Jinling, Fu Lin and Yuwen Yuanhua did not kneel. They could understand Wang Jinling and Yuwen Yuanhua not kneeling, but what about Master Fu?

Why doesn’t Lord Fu kneel?

When the officials of the Retired Emperor's faction saw Fu Lin standing upright in front of the palace, they felt uneasy: Could it be that the Retired Emperor had passed away, and this was his last struggle? Otherwise, how could Lord Fu, the Retired Emperor's confidant, openly contradict the Retired Emperor at this time?

The official who was crawling on the ground straightened his back slightly, hesitating whether to stand up. And there was definitely more than one person who had this idea!
