Chapter Twenty-Three: Unjust Defeat

"Your Majesty, the **** has been removed, and the Dazheng Kingdom is worry-free!"

A deafening sound sounded, which made the originally chaotic court instantly silent, and everyone bowed their heads silently in tacit understanding, leaving only Prime Minister Shen Yuan's faint laughter echoing. It's just that the smile is too hideous, and it completely subverts the gentle image of the old prime minister in the past.

"Okay, Prime Minister, you've done a good job, it's really good!" Looking at the person in front of him who had completely abandoned his former disguise, Zhao Yuan could only grit his teeth, "The general is the most important thing in the country." Even if the minister makes a mistake, he has his own I to deal with it, but the prime minister will still take me in his eyes when he does this? ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister is loyal, I hope Your Majesty will be clear!" Looking at Zhao Yuan unceremoniously, Shen Yuan said coldly, "It's not a pity that the general plotted to rebel and die, does Your Majesty want to shield such a person?" ”

"Where does Your Majesty's move put the Taisho Kingdom, and where do you put the people of the Taisho Kingdom?" While speaking, Shen Yuan knelt down and said loudly to Zhao Yuan, "If Your Majesty insists on this, please ask Your Majesty to dispose of the old minister!" ”

"You, you"

"Your Majesty is so mediocre that he actually ignores all the people of the Taizheng Kingdom, which is really not the master. For the sake of the future of Taisho Kingdom, the minister implores His Majesty to abdicate and let the virtuous prime minister! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal, and the minister implored His Majesty to abdicate and let the virtuous prime minister!"

After the man's words just now, a stone suddenly stirred up a thousand waves, and the rest of the people seemed to be eager to shout loudly one after another, as if they secretly hated that the person just grabbed the lead, and the next people shouted harder. Suddenly, the entire court hall was filled with this sound, which made Zhao Yuan, who was already pale, three points black again.

"Shut up!" Hearing the voice coming from behind him, Shen Yuan's face showed an irrepressible smile, but he still waved his hand and said loudly, "The old man has always been loyal to His Majesty, where do you want to put the old man when you say this?" ”

"Prime Minister!" Hearing Shen Yuan say this, the voice of persuasion suddenly became hysterical, "The prime minister has worked hard and made great achievements, and the Taizheng Kingdom can do without the emperor, but it can't be without the prime minister!" ”

"Yes, this is the will of all the people of the Taizheng Kingdom, and the prime minister must not refuse!"

"Your Majesty is immoral, the prime minister should replace him, and the minister implores the prime minister to ascend the throne!"

"If the prime minister doesn't ascend the throne, I won't be able to kneel for a long time, please take the throne!"

"Okay, that's great, this is my 100 officials of Taizheng Kingdom!" Looking at the farce-like scene below, Zhao Yuan's face on the throne became darker and darker. It's just that at this time, everyone is busy currying favor with the new master, and no one cares about this little emperor who has completely lost power.

"Alas, the people want it!" Looking at the hundred officials who almost all knelt down, Shen Yuan seemed to sigh helplessly, and then slowly said, "Since all the people are pleading, and the hundred officials are invited, although the old man is helpless, he has only "

"Slow!" Just as Shen Yuan was proudly walking towards Zhao Yuan, someone suddenly spoke out behind the crowd, and then saw a few figures slowly walking in. The straight back is incompatible with the hundred officials who are prostrate on the ground, and it looks so dazzling.

"Prime Minister, Shen Yuan! Do you really want to commit such a rebellious act? ”

"Lord Zhang, it's not that the old man wants to do this, it's really the people's will, and the old man can only do it."

"Fart!" Shen Yuan's words were interrupted before he finished speaking, only to see another person speak, "Okay, good Shen Yuan." In the past, the emperor treated you well and promoted you to the end, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful. It is really laughable that a disloyal and unrighteous person like you can become the head of a country! ”

"Presumptuous, the prime minister is also something that you petty officials can judge, and you don't give the official a retreat!"

"Petty officer? Hum! With a cold snort, one of the old men with a somewhat rickety figure said loudly with disdain, "In the past, when the old man was ranked as the third prince, you were still breastfeeding!" ”

"Shen Yuan!" The old man then glared at Shen Yuan angrily, and said loudly, "In the past, you excluded dissidents for the sake of power and squeezed out our old ministers one by one, and we endured it. But I didn't expect you to have to make an inch, you are so bold! ”

"The old man has always been very bold, did you know on the first day?" Shaking his head disdainfully, Shen Yuan said lightly, "Now that the general trend has been decided, you still want to go against me?" ”

"Dog thief, we are loyal to Your Majesty, you want to rebel and usurp the throne, pass our pass first!"

"You guys? Ha ha! Laughing loudly with disdain, Shen Yuan said coldly: "In the past, when you were in high power, I was not afraid of you, and I took you all down one by one, let alone now." Now, who are you to dictate to me! ”

"You"

"A few adults, the old man is not an unkind person!" Looking at the few people with pale faces, Shen Yuan showed a gentle smile on his face, and said lightly, "We have been ministers in the same hall for many years, and in the end, there are feelings. As long as you are willing to submit to me and bow your heads to me, I guarantee that you will enjoy endless wealth and prosperity! ”

"It's a dream, we are born as people of the Taisho Kingdom, and we are the ghosts of the Taizheng Kingdom when we die, how can we bow down to you, the disloyal and unrighteous person who usurped the throne!"

"Heh, I didn't expect that there would be such loyal ministers in Taizheng Kingdom, it's really rare!" Looking at the few old ministers who straightened their waists, Zhao Yuan had mixed feelings in his heart. Although he is not qualified as an emperor, he still has loyal ministers when the mountains and rivers are exhausted. Zhao Yuan didn't know about their existence before, but after today, everything is different!

"What a bunch of stubborn old stubborns!" Shaking his head helplessly, Shen Yuan said with regret, "Come on, send a few adults on the road!" ”

"We've known each other for years, but we didn't expect to die together today. Well, then we will have a good answer on the road! ”

"Hmph, the old man will fulfill you today, kill me!"

"Do it!" Just when a few people were about to kill, such a voice suddenly came from their ears. Immediately afterwards, a series of screams filled his ears, followed by the sound of gold and iron. When they opened their eyes, several people looked around in shock.

Most of the armor soldiers who originally surrounded the main hall were lying in pools of blood, and there were a lot of crossbow arrows stuck in their bodies. The gate outside had been closed, and a group of people in brocade clothes were still shooting crossbows and crossbows with crossbow arrows, and many people were constantly rushing out, killing these unprepared armor soldiers to a route.

"Good, good means!" Seeing the sudden appearance of hundreds of people, Shen Yuan's face remained unchanged, and he even smiled a little, "The old man has long felt that His Majesty is definitely not a person, and when I saw it today, it was really so!" But does Your Majesty think that with these people, you will be able to keep you safe? You must be too naΓ―ve, the forbidden army, the 100,000 troops of the Northern Army have firmly surrounded this place, and they can be killed in an instant! ”

"Your Majesty, the old man advises you to surrender!" Looking at Zhao Yuan, Shen Yuan smiled softly and said, "For the sake of the first emperor's face, the old man won't kill you!" ”

"The prime minister must be too confident!" Looking at Shen Yuan, Zhao Yuan laughed softly, and then said lightly, "General Zhang Yuan only has thousands of personal guards under him, and now that Zhang Yuan has been killed by the prime minister, even if these personal guards are not scattered, they will never have the fighting spirit." There are 100,000 elite soldiers under the prime minister, but when you listen to the prime minister, the shouting and killing outside not only did not stop, but became stronger and stronger. Don't the prime ministers think that they are spending too much time? ”

"You, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean?" His face suddenly turned cold, and Zhao Yuan said coldly, "I'm not afraid to tell you, it's the voice of the forbidden army killing the rebels outside!" ”

"Forbidden Army? Yan Yingyuan? Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, Shen Yuan's face turned cold, "The old man has long felt that Yan Yingyuan is unreliable, but he never thought that he was still His Majesty's person." His Majesty hid it so deeply that even the old man was deceived. But unfortunately, Your Majesty is still too tender! ”

"Your Majesty, don't you know that you are too close to the old man?" Looking at Zhao Yuan coldly, Shen Yuan sneered and said, "As long as Your Majesty dies, the overall situation will be decided in an instant!" ”

"Really?" Not frightened by Shen Yuan's words, Zhao Yuan said softly, "But Prime Minister, you shouldn't have come here alone!" ”、

"If you are in the midst of hosts, I can't do anything about it!" The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and Zhao Yuan said with a smile, "But at this moment, you want my life, and I also want your head, to calm this chaos!" ”

"If you want to take the head of the old man, then it depends on your majesty whether you have the ability!" With a cold snort, Shen Yuan suddenly had a thin sword in his hand that flickered with cold light, and he strode towards Zhao Yuan.

"Protect Your Majesty!" With this shout, dozens of people poured out of the back hall and began to gather in front of Zhao Yuan, holding crossbow arrows to firmly block Shen Yuan outside.

"It's delusional to rely on these people to try to stop the old man!" With a cold snort, Shen Yuan jumped up. A long sword was even more impermeable, and dozens of salvos of crossbow arrows could not bring him a little damage, but instead made him and Zhao Yuan closer.

"Little emperor, the old man will send you on your way today!" Desperately jumped in the direction where Zhao Yuan was, and he couldn't even care about the defense around him. Shen Yuan looked at Zhao Yuan, who was close at hand, with a frenzied face, and he didn't even care about the two extra crossbow arrows on his body. The long sword that flashed with cold light swung down at Zhao Yuan, and he seemed to have seen the scene of Zhao Yuan's blood spraying on his face.

The thief captures the king first, and when the little emperor dies, the forbidden army will break itself. I won this fight!

"Ding!" The expected blood was not seen, but Shen Yuan felt a strong force coming from the sword, and the whole person couldn't help but take a few steps back when he was caught off guard. The dense crossbow arrows around it came at the right time. The defenseless Shen Yuan did not organize an effective defense in a hurry, and in an instant, Shen Yuan had more than a dozen crossbow arrows on his body.

"You" looked at Zhao Yuan in surprise, only to see that there were already two more old men beside Zhao Yuan at this moment, who were quietly looking at him. Looking at the two old men whose momentum was not inferior to his own, Shen Yuan smiled bitterly, "Master, I didn't expect such a master to be hidden by the little emperor's side, the old man was defeated unjustly, not unjustly!" ”
