Chapter 169: Identity Revealed
Xiao Tianci regretted it very much, regretting why he didn't shoot Xiao Wufeng, a fool, on the wall in the first place.
Numb, you said that the one you pretend to be on weekdays is called a gentle and knowledgeable person, and there are so many ministers in the court who support you, but at a critical time, there was a pit father.
Therefore, Xiao Tianci kicked this pit daddy thing with a very angry kick.
Poor Xiao Wufeng didn't know what was going on, and just fainted.
"Subordinate Zhang Liao has seen Gongzi!"
"Subordinate Yan Qing has seen Gongzi!"
"Subordinate Yuwen Cheng has seen Childe!"
After the three of them saw Xiao Chen, they all got down from the dragon horse, quickly walked to Xiao Chen, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully.
This made all the onlookers stunned, what was going on, how could the general in charge of escorting him, as soon as he came here, he knelt directly in front of Ye Chen? This is not in line with the script!
The officials of the imperial court know what is going on, Zhang Liao and they have not seen it, but Yuwen Chengdu and Yan Qing all know that this is Ye Chen's subordinates.
At the beginning, Xiao Tianci still wanted to recruit them, but he didn't expect that after controlling the military power, he would become his enemy in turn, which is really ironic.
"Emperor, what's going on? Didn't you send someone to invite the forbidden army? Why did these people go to kneel on that little ghost named Ye Chen instead!"
Xiao Shan sprinkled a handful of salt on Xiao Tianci's wound at the right time.
The three of them are all elders of the Xiao family and Xiao Tianci's predecessors, so they will not be afraid of him because of his position as emperor, and directly question him face to face, without mercy at all.
Xiao Tianci didn't know how to answer this question, so he simply didn't answer, and instead stared at Xiao Chen and said, "Ye Chen, who are you?
Now he finally knew that Xiao Chen had been setting a trap for himself from the beginning, attracting his attention, and letting himself hand over the military power to his subordinates step by step.
Even now he is ninety percent sure that the mysterious person who issued the mission in the Assassins' Guild must be Xiao Chen.
Shangguan Qingmeng also set his eyes on Xiao Chen beside him, and the woman's intuition told him that the identity of this young man must not be simple.
With the ability of her intelligence organization, none of them can find out his identity, which shows two problems: first, this person is not from Da Zhou, and second, he is using a fake identity.
She was more inclined to the second possibility, because with the strength shown by Xiao Chen, if he was not from Da Zhou, it would be impossible for him to seize the power of the forbidden army and control the defense of Los Angeles.
These were all personally involved in her subordinates, and of course she knew all about it.
Xiao Chen stood up gently in the eyes of everyone, his face did not change in any way, and he was calm and terrifying.
But what he said was like a pebble thrown on the surface of a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves.
Xiao Chen didn't look at Xiao Tianci, but swept his gaze over the court officials who were sitting precariously.
"Fifty days ago, the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom died violently, and Xiao Tianci cooperated with the rebellious minister Yan Jilong to plot the dynasty and usurp the throne, do you know?"
"Also fifty days ago, Xiao Chen, the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was named the king of Guangyang by Xiao Tianci, and immediately went to take office without delay, do you know?"
"Forty-five days ago, Yan Feng, the commander of the Praetorian Guard who escorted King Guangyang, received a message from Yan Jilong that he wanted to execute Xiao Chen privately, do you know?"
"Ten days ago, Broken Blade City fell, tens of thousands of troops were killed, the Sect Master of the Wild Lion Sect fought wildly, and Uncle Yan, the defender of Broken Blade City, was killed in battle, do you know?"
"Today, the Great Zhou and the Xianglong Kingdom negotiated peace, and the Great Zhou will offer millions of spirit crystals to the Xianglong Kingdom every year and cede a large piece of land, do you know?"
"You all know, but as a minister, you have always stood on the side of the anti-thief, how can your conscience be at ease? Is it true that in your eyes, the interests of Da Zhou are not as good as your own petty profits?"
Xiao Chen's words were like a sharp sword, leaving countless courtiers speechless.
But they have already cultivated a thick face like a city wall, and they are indifferent to Xiao Chen's words, their hearts have long been dead, and in their eyes, there is really nothing to make them tempted except for interests.
This is the reason why Xiao Tianci can successfully usurp the throne, and it is also the reason why Xiao Chen can regain the throne today, because no one cares who sits on the throne.
However, the civilians were restless, these things were undoubtedly secrets of the imperial court, how could they know, now that they knew this, they were suddenly disappointed in Xiao Tianci!
In particular, Xiao Tianci wanted to sign such an agreement to lose power and humiliate the country, and they could not accept it.
"It turns out that the emperor's position has been passed down like this! It's too dark, your circle is really messy!"
"I don't care who sits on the emperor's throne, but how can the imperial court sign such an agreement that humiliates the country? When did my Great Zhou become so cowardly, I don't accept it! I can't sign it!"
"Yes, such an agreement cannot be signed, otherwise how can it be against the thousands of soldiers who died in battle!"
The three Xiao Shan people around Xiao Tianci were also looking at him in shock at the moment.
Xiao Shan asked angrily, "Xiao Tianci, is what this young man said true?"
Xiao Shan and the others, as the worship of the Xiao family, have been in retreat in the forbidden place of the palace for many years, so as long as it is not related to the survival of the royal family, they rarely ask.
In fact, they didn't know much about Xiao Tianci's usurpation, because the throne was always in the hands of the Xiao family, and they didn't bother to care.
If Xiao Tianci hadn't asked them to come out of the town several times this time, saying that it involved disputes between the two countries, they wouldn't have left the customs.
It's just that he never thought that Xiao Tianci would do such a thing of losing power and humiliating the country, which was beyond the scope of what they could tolerate.
Faced with the questioning of the three worshippers, Xiao Tianci did not panic at all, but said to the three of them very calmly: "Three worshippers, now is not the time to pursue this! Don't you see that someone wants to hide from my Xiao family?"
This made the three worshippers look slightly stunned, Xiao Tianci said well, now is not the time to dwell on this, but the time to keep the Great Zhou world.
When Xiao Shan and the three of them looked at each other, Xiao Chen did sneer and said, "Xiao Tianci, is you the only one in the Xiao family who is qualified to do that position?"
As the words fell, Xiao Chen gently removed the mask on his face, revealing a more youthful face.
"He's not ......"
Shangguan Qingmeng, who was closest to Xiao Chen, was the first to cover his red lips with an incredible face.
Few things can surprise her, but this time is an exception.
Countless courtiers who were sitting firmly in their seats all stood up in shock for a while.
Xiao Tianci stared at Xiao Chen's face deadly, and squeezed out two words with hatred: "Xiao Chen!"
