If you don't abdicate, you will end up the same as the first emperor. Emperor Yongxing's mind buzzed, and the tragic scene of Emperor Yuanjing's death without a whole body appeared in his mind.

Inside the Golden Luan Hall, it suddenly became quiet and completely silent.

Clusters of eyes fell on Xu Qi'an, for a short while, no one scolded or protested. .

In today's Dafeng, if there is anyone who dares to kill the king and does what he says, Xu Qi'an in front of him is one of them.

After a while, Yu Wang came out with a sullen face, persuading him:

"Xu Qi'an, Dafeng is in turmoil, internal and external troubles, you can't stand the toss. Think about the cultivation of you by the imperial court in the past, and raise your hands high."

King Yu knew that although he did not support Xu Qi'an, he had helped him a few times, so he stepped forward to warn him.

"That's right!"

Dali Siqing swallowed her saliva, mustered up her courage, and said loudly:

"Xu Qi'an, you are Wei Yuan's most trusted confidant. Wei Yuan is dedicated to helping the country and bringing peace to the people of the Central Plains. How can you live up to his last wish and push the court into the abyss of eternal doom with your own hands?"

With the beginning of the two, Wencheng, a nobleman who was a fan of Emperor Yongxing, advised him one after another.

In their eyes, Xu Qi'an is a lawless martial artist, but he is by no means a bloodthirsty madman. On the contrary, what he has done in the past can be praised by anyone as chivalrous.

Therefore, they believed that as long as they grasped the principle and righteousness, they could put pressure on Xu Qi'an.

A gentleman can be deceived well!

Emperor Yongxing jumped up from the throne like a cornered beast, pointed at Xu Qi'an, and roared madly:

"You want to force me to abdicate?

"Xu Qi'an, I trust you so much, rely on you so much, and give you a marriage in Lin'an. Is this how you repay me?

"Aren't you afraid that this matter will spread, and Xu Yinluo's reputation will be wiped out in one day! He will never remember your kindness in history, and you are not afraid of being infamous for thousands of years."

The rabbit bites people in a hurry, let alone the emperor.

"I want to marry Lin'an, of course I will, why do you need to marry me?"

Xu Qi'an grabbed the spear in Yang Yan's hand, shook his wrist, and with a "bang" sound, the spear flew out, carrying the corner of Emperor Yongxing's clothes, and pierced the throne behind him.

Emperor Yongxing fell to the ground, his pupils were dilated, and his body trembled slightly.

Just a moment ago, he felt a strong killing intent, and this shot seemed to have pierced his chest.

He was really going to kill me. Great fear exploded in Emperor Yongxing's heart.

"don't want!"

Inside the hall, there was an uproar.

King Yu and the others were taken aback. A prince was heartbroken and scolded with all his might:

"Xu Qi'an, my great emperor, it's your turn to decide when to abolish or establish.

"Do you have an imperial court in your eyes, or a royal family?"

The faces of all the princes and county kings were livid, feeling humiliated and resentful.

What a shame!

In the six hundred years since the founding of Dafeng, no one has ever dared to be so bold, and even Jian Zheng was not so overbearing, treating the royal family like ants.

The first emperor killed as soon as he said, and the new emperor said he would be abolished. Of course, the first emperor deserved to die, but on the other hand, it also showed the weakness of the royal family, and it showed that Xu Qi'an did not take the Dafeng royal family seriously.

Even regarded as a puppet at the mercy of others.

This situation was a huge humiliation to the clan and royal family present.

What's the face.

Xu Qi'an walked slowly to the throne, looked at King Yu and other members of the royal family, and said:

"Yuan Jing is fatuous and innocent, he betrayed his ancestors and the common people, so I will kill him.

"After Yuan Jing's death, Dafeng was turbulent due to wind and rain, and the cold disaster was raging. The Yunzhou rebels took advantage of the situation. Yongxing was weak and fearful. In order to protect his own status, he cede land and seek peace. Even his ancestors could betray him. You think that such an incompetent Jun, can you really support the precarious court?

"Emperor Gaozu went through many hardships to lay down this foundation, do you have the heart to watch him be destroyed by Yongxing?

"Why are the princes in the palace willing to accompany me to Qingjun? Why are the Royal Party and the Wei Party willing to let go of their differences at this moment? Why are the soldiers outside willing to tie their heads to their belts and force Yongxing to abdicate? Who is right? Who is wrong, you ask yourselves.

"Who turned his back on his ancestors?"

King Yu was slightly moved. The prince and county king beside him opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute, but he couldn't find the right words.

Xu Qi'an then looked around at the princes, swept over those officials who were fans of Emperor Yongxing, and said in a deep voice:

"In the battle of Qingzhou, tens of thousands of soldiers were shrouded in horse leather. It was hard to fight off the elite of Yunzhou, but the princes burned their efforts with a piece of paper. You are living on the imperial salary, but what you do is human affairs?

"The national treasury is empty, and it is difficult to maintain military expenditures and the operation of the court. For the sake of the peace in front of us, Yongxing has cut his own way of life. Instead of admonishing, the princes are happy to see the results and promote peace talks. They are full of sages and sages, and they all read dog stomachs." inside?

"Ceded Yuzhou, which is rich in iron ore, and Zhangzhou, which is rich in grain and grass, and sent food and iron to the rebels in Yunzhou, lest Dafeng would not perish quickly enough? Yongxing deceived himself, are you just like him, are you all trash!"

The sound of angry reprimand echoed in the hall.

Tonggong and Yingong who followed Xu Qi'an's rebellion, as well as the guards, clenched the knives in their hands, filled with righteous indignation.

In recent days, rumors and rumors about the peace talks between the imperial court and Yunzhou have spread all over the capital, but anyone with a passion for it feels unjust in their hearts.

Since ancient times, if things are uneven, they will cry.

Now, the civil servants, like the clan, were ashamed.

But civil servants are good at verbal disputes, some people refused to accept, whispered:

"But even the prison is dead, what can we do? Today, there is no other way but to negotiate a peace. Who else can resist the extraordinary masters of Yunzhou?"

All eyes fell on Xu Qi'an, to see how he would answer.

It's not that they have no backbone, but that Da Feng is already in a precarious situation, their choice is forced by the situation, and they will never admit what Xu Qi'an said.

"Then let me come!"

Xu Qi'an's tone suddenly rose:

"Let the soldiers who killed the enemy on the front line come, and let the men who are willing to shed their blood for Dafeng come. Whether Dafeng dies or prospers is up to us. Not you frail scholars who only fight with each other in the temple Decide."

He then looked at the soldiers present: "Everyone, may you die on the battlefield for the Central Plains and for the Great Feng!"

Inside the hall, the soldiers holding weapons responded loudly:

"Wish to die in battle with Xu Yinluo!"

Xu Qi'an looked around at the civil servants, sneered and mocked:

"If the silver gong dies in battle, and the soldiers of the Great Bong fall into the sand, it's not too late for you to surrender again."

No one spoke anymore.

At this time, Xu Qi'an stretched out his hand with a calm tone:

"Come!"

Outside the hall, a stream of yellow light roared over, sending himself into Xu Qi'an's hands.

Zhen Guojian!

It still chose Xu Qi'an at this moment, the royal family, the nobles, and the princes in the palace stared blankly at the sword of the emperor Gaozu, which was handed down for six hundred years to suppress the national destiny.

There was consternation, helplessness, reflection, and relief in their eyes.

After three months, after the fall of the late emperor, Zhen Guojian chose Xu Qi'an again.

The hall fell into dead silence, and no one uttered any words to refute or scold.

Huaiqing had a cold expression, folded his hands on his lower abdomen, and said lightly:

"Please stay in the hall for the time being, waiting for my call."

She immediately looked at Xu Qi'an and nodded slightly.

Xu Qi'an leaned over and picked up Emperor Yongxing, and walked out side by side with Huaiqing.

When passing by the Yunzhou Mission, he glanced sideways and glanced at them lightly.

Ji Yuan, Xu Yuanshuang and Xu Yuanhuai felt a chill in their hearts at the same time.

When Xu Qi'an and Huaiqing left the Golden Luan Hall, Ji Yuan lowered his voice:

"Yuan, Yuanhuai, do you have the confidence to break through?"

Xu Yuanhuai looked at him like a fool:

"There are three people in the fourth rank alone in the hall, and there must be more outside."

Despair enveloped the hearts of everyone in the Yunzhou Mission.

"Damn it, this brainless brat, didn't he say that Xu Qi'an was so resourceful that the national teacher suffered repeated setbacks?!" Ji Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged on his forehead:

"Is he crazy!!"

He believes that, given the current situation in Dafeng, "suffering for perfection" is the choice a wise man should make, and then he will take it slowly to find the possibility of a comeback.

It was precisely because Ji Yuan believed that Xu Qi'an should have such wisdom that he could enter the Beijing negotiation with full confidence and confidence, and show off his might as a winner.

But Xu Qi'an's current choice does not match what he has done in the past.

Reckless like a downright gross warrior.

Ji Yuan was frightened, and a chill surged from his heart.

In this way, Xu Qi'an, who is seeking his own death, will not have any worries.

The Yunzhou Mission is in danger!

In the royal study.

Xu Qi'an threw Emperor Yongxing on the big chair, looked at the stunned uncle, and said lightly:

"Need me to grind it for you?"

Emperor Yongxing's face was pale, and he said unwillingly:

"If you don't want me to seek peace, I can change it. If you want the court to continue fighting, I can also go along with you. Xu Qi'an, I gave you my sister in marriage, but you will repay your kindness with revenge.

"You will repay your kindness with revenge!!"

At the end, he roared vigorously.

"I gave you a chance." Xu Qi'an picked up a piece of ink and lightly ground it:

"You married Lin'an to me just to win me over. If someone else was promoted to the third rank, you would give Lin'an to him as well. Lin'an is the girl I like, but you see her as a tool to win people's hearts. huh?

"Yongxing, your biggest mistake is sitting in this position.

"Incapable, but greedy for power and position, the peace negotiation is just the beginning, if the follow-up war is unfavorable, you will continue to make more decisions to betray the country and protect yourself. In the future, you will not escape the infamy of the king of subjugation.

"I forced you to abdicate, not only to protect myself, but also to serve the country."

He dipped the brush into ink and handed it to Yongxing:

"That's all I can say, so I can do it myself."

Xu Qian then looked at Huaiqing:

"There are still a few battles in the palace that have not subsided. I will suppress them first, and I will leave this to you."

Huaiqing nodded.

Watching Xu Qi'an leave, she ordered the soldiers guarding outside, saying:

"Go ahead and invite King Li, and invite the princes and county kings in the palace together."

Several soldiers led the way.

Not long after, several silver gongs and more than a dozen sword-wielding soldiers pressed the princes and county kings into the side hall next to the imperial study.

King Li is old and did not go to court today, so he came late.

Leaning on crutches, King Li crossed the threshold, and with slightly muddy eyes, he glanced at the room.

Huaiqing, who was wearing a plain white long dress, was sitting in the main seat, princes like Prince Yu, and the county king were sitting in the guest seats, with a somewhat reserved expression, which was in stark contrast to Huaiqing who was leisurely drinking tea.

"Uncle, please sit down quickly."

Huaiqing made a gesture of invitation, indicating that King Li would sit next to her, beside her.

Leaning on a walking stick, King Li walked over unhurriedly, and sat down beside Huaiqing. He turned his head to look at this unobtrusive junior, and said slowly:

"Tell me what's going on."

Unexpectedly, the old prince with a strong temperament was surprisingly calm.

Huaiqing laughed and said:

"The bigger the matter, the more calm the uncle will be. Then Huaiqing will speak directly."

Immediately said the matter briefly.

"Forcing Yongxing to abdicate." King Li sighed:

"This king is old and has no intention of fighting for power. Dafeng has reached the point where he is today. I can't figure out who is right and who is wrong. This king knows that you invite everyone to come because you don't want bloody conflicts.

"Say it straight, who do you want to stand for!"

The princes and county kings present looked at Prince Yan in unison.

Prince Yan is the son of the Empress Dowager, the real son and brother of Huaiqing, Huaiqing and Xu Qi'an jointly rebelled, it is impossible to help others.

He must support his elder brother to be in power.

If the prince came to power, they would have no objection. Emperor Yongxing betrayed his ancestors and recognized the orthodox decision of the Yunzhou lineage, which offended everyone in the royal family.

It is impossible for them to make life difficult for themselves in order to safeguard Emperor Yongxing's throne.

Prince Yan's face turned red in an instant, and he heard the frantic heartbeat in his chest, his blood was boiling.

He couldn't help but think of the history of Zhou that Huaiqing asked him to read at the beginning—waiting for the opportunity!

He knew that this day had finally come.

"Huaiqing, well done!"

Prince Yan took a deep breath, got up and walked towards his sister, making gestures to put his hand on her shoulder to show his appreciation.

Huaiqing raised his head, looked at him coldly, and said:

"Fourth brother, you are not qualified to sit on the throne."

She turned to look at King Li, swept across the princes and kings present, and said word by word:

"This palace wants to become emperor!"

ps: Change first and then change.
