The Imperial Guard is now under the command of his trusted confidant, Deputy Commander Han Chengye.
Xiao Chenyi had long wanted Han Chengye to replace Su Ziyang, but he hadn't found an opportunity to make a move against Su Ziyang.
Under Su Ziyang's command, the Imperial Guards were very united. It was only when the Su family was falsely accused of treason and imprisoned that Xiao Chenyi took the opportunity to promote Han Chengye.
Xiao Chen originally intended to have Han Chengye take over the Imperial Guard, but unexpectedly, the Su family cleared their name so quickly, and Xiao Chen had no choice but to reinstate Su Ziyang to his position.
Moreover, he didn't want Xiao Yanchu to discover anything so soon, so he didn't make a move against Su Ziyang for the time being. He didn't expect Xiao Yanchu to discover everything so quickly and attack him.
Since that's the case, he had no choice but to make use of everything he had arranged in advance.
He wanted to see how Xiao Yanchu was going to escape today!
Xiao Yanchu slowly surveyed the guards, then looked at Xiao Chenyi, "Do you think these people can hold me back?"
Xiao Chenyi sneered, "The Regent is the God of War of our Great Chu. These people naturally cannot restrain the Prince, but what if we add the Imperial Guards? Xiao Yanchu, no matter how powerful you are, you are still just one person. Guards, seize him for me!"
The guards rushed forward, but Hu Qing quickly dealt with one of them, snatched the sword from his hand, and engaged the guard in combat.
The civil officials in the court, who were ignorant of martial arts, were so frightened that they all crowded to one side, while some military generals, seeing this, began to hesitate.
Suddenly someone shouted, "Protect the Prince!" Then the person rushed forward and started fighting with the guards.
The military generals, being soldiers, understood better than the civil officials that every inch of the Great Chu's territory was won by their brothers with their lives.
Remembering how the princess, despite being pregnant, risked her own safety to rush to the desolate desert to treat her brothers in the army when smallpox broke out there, she remembered that the princess had gone to the desert to treat them.
Later, when the Northern Li forces acquired explosives, demon soldiers, and mutants, it was the Princess and the Prince who came up with a solution. The Prince personally guarded the border, which is how they managed to resist the Northern Li army.
Previously, when the emperor wanted to cede Mo Han to Bei Li, the military generals were all unwilling, but their belief in loyalty to the emperor forced them to suppress their resentment and accept reality.
Now that they heard that the Regent had taken back Mohan without waiting for the Emperor's decree, the military officers felt a sense of relief.
Today in court, I saw the evidence presented by the prince that the emperor was colluding with the Northern Li. Although the emperor did not admit it, everyone has their own standards of judgment.
If what the prince said was not true, why would the emperor suddenly cede Mo Han to him?
Seeing the guards attack the prince, the military officers could no longer restrain themselves.
The generals who supported Xiao Yanchu took action, and some generals promoted by Xiao Chenyi also stepped forward, and the two sides started fighting.
Xiao Chenyi looked at the chaotic scene with a sinister look in his eyes. He turned to Li Yuansheng and said, "Go and send a signal to have Han Chengye bring the Imperial Guards to protect the Emperor."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Yuansheng turned and left.
Before long, a commotion could be heard coming from outside the main hall.
Xiao Chen also smiled.
The Great Chu Imperial Guard numbered over 100,000, distributed throughout the capital city to protect it.
Even the Imperial Guards protecting the palace number over 20,000. With Su Ziyang absent, all of them are under Han Chengye's control. What does he have to fear about 20,000 against a mere few people?
Xiao Yanchu is doomed today!
If Xiao Yanchu is killed today, Xiao Chenyi's next step will be to deal with the Su family and then kill Xiao Bingyi.
In this way, he can sit firmly on the throne, and no one will be above him anymore!
