Just as Minister Dong thought there was more to read, Xiao Yanchu spoke up, "In this small box, there are also letters His Majesty wrote to Jamukha. Your Majesty, is it necessary for Minister Dong to read them one by one?"
"Xiao Yanchu, you fabricated these pieces of evidence to slander me. Aren't you afraid I'll betray you and execute your entire family? The Regent's Consort is pregnant; you wouldn't want her and her unborn child to die together, would you? Considering your past contributions to the Great Chu, as long as you explain the truth to everyone, I will spare your life!"
Xiao Chenyi's face was so dark it was almost dripping ink, and he no longer needed to use respectful language with Xiao Yanchu.
No one in the court dared to speak now, and many ministers kept taking out handkerchiefs to wipe their sweat.
At that moment, everyone realized that the Great Chu was about to undergo a major change!
The conflict between the Regent and the Emperor has escalated to the point where it's no longer a matter of who can forgive whom, but rather a fight to the death.
"Xiao Chenyi, when I put you on the throne, I hoped you would be a good emperor, protect the land of Great Chu, and safeguard the people of Great Chu. But what have you done?"
When faced with the invasion of the Northern Li, instead of fighting back, you ceded territory before the battle even began. How can you do this to the thousands of soldiers who guarded the borders of the Great Chu?!
You say these letters were forged by me? What, did I also send Zhang Deren to Mo Han?
Did I give the order for Zhang Deren to withdraw from Mohan and hand it over to Beili, and even secretly send people to try to kill General Pingnan?
After I took back Mo Han, you were not only unhappy, but you also wrote a secret letter to the King of Bei Li, discussing how to get rid of me and increase the tribute to Bei Li. Is this the behavior of a ruler of a country?
"Your Majesty, while you were writing this secret letter, Jamukha was already secretly imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice's jail. How do you think he could forge your handwriting to write a letter to the Northern Li King?"
At this point, Xiao Yanchu paused, and his aura suddenly changed, no longer calm and composed as before, but filled with murderous intent.
His once deep and calm eyes were now as if they were filled with ice shards, exuding a bone-chilling coldness.
The ministers couldn't help but shudder, as if they were seeing the Great Chu War God who could slay demons and gods on the battlefield!
At that moment, everyone recalled the struggle for the throne in the Great Chu Dynasty. It was Xiao Yanchu who single-handedly quelled the turmoil in the Great Chu and assisted Xiao Chenyi in ascending the throne.
Xiao Yanchu coldly stared at Xiao Chenchu sitting on the dragon throne, his voice low and ruthless, tinged with a hint of disappointment, as he spoke, word by word:
"Xiao Chenyi, as the emperor, you are cowardly and afraid of death. When the Great Chu was invaded by other countries, you backed down before even fighting. You even colluded with the enemy country and tried to murder your own brother, nephew, and important ministers at the expense of the Great Chu's interests."
Xiao Chenyi, do you deserve to sit in this position?!
Since you are not fit to be an emperor, then today you shall abdicate the throne and let the capable rise to the top!
"Insolence!" Xiao Chenyi stood up abruptly. "Xiao Yanchu, who do you think you are? I am the Emperor of Great Chu. What right do you have to speak like this? Guards! Seize this treacherous and disrespectful traitor!"
At this moment, a group of guards rushed into the palace and surrounded Xiao Yanchu with swords.
A ruthless glint flashed in Xiao Chenyi's eyes. He had already sensed something was wrong and had secretly arranged things in advance.
Did Xiao Yanchu really think he was a fool?
From the moment he learned that Xiao Yanchu had returned to the capital, he had already begun to prepare for this day!
Ordinary court officials were not allowed to carry weapons to court, but Xiao Yanchu was an exception.
Xiao Chenyi knew this, and he wasn't afraid.
He had been secretly cultivating his own power for this very day.
This is in the palace. Xiao Yanchu is just one person. No matter how powerful he is, can he defeat the elites he secretly cultivated?
As for Su Ziyang, Xiao Chenyi sent him out on business yesterday.
