Liu Changxi looked at the black crowd in front of him, his expression was very calm, and he couldn't even see the slightest ripple, although most of the ministers standing behind him were already frightened.

"I knew there would be this day, and I thought I was ready for everything, but I didn't think that in the end, I would make a bad move and miscalculate the time for your action. Liu Changxi looked at Chen Shaojie, who was standing opposite each other ten zhang away, and said with a light smile.

"You see, Yukihiko, it turns out that my bad premonition is not unfounded. It's just that I didn't expect that Lord Zuo Xiang had already prepared a big gift waiting for us to return to the palace. ”

Wang Zhiyan on the side had a pale face, as a well-informed and unique chief of the palace guards, he recognized at a glance that the few people standing next to Chen Shaojie were not good at stubble.

Mo Yinglong, the head of the Mo family, Gao Ren, the head of the Gao family, Huang Tianmenmen advocated the way of heaven, Ping Tianhai, the head of the Xingyue Gate, and Lin Langqing, the head of the Lin family, were all present. Behind them stood the elite forces of the five major clans, and the weakest of them almost reached the level of the middle level of the Qi Void Realm. There are hundreds of them. Wang Zhiyan also saw a lot of unfamiliar faces in the crowd, judging from their outfits, they shouldn't look like Tu Nanguo.

"I didn't expect that even foreigners colluded, how did Zuo Xiang do it unconsciously..."Wang Zhiyan couldn't help but think.

Among them, the Mo family is particularly exaggerated, Wang Zhiyan suspects that the Mo family has brought almost all the clansmen above the elder level this time, and the number is also the largest among the five major clans.

The core of the clan power of the Tu Nan Kingdom, half of the Ten Masters Guild appeared in the main hall of the palace without permission at this time, and was still standing behind Chen Shaojie, the left minister, what this move represented, the discerning people could not be clearer.

"The timing of the start of the clan assembly was indeed beyond my expectations. Liu Changxi's face did not change, a pair of deep eyes stared directly at Chen Shaojie, and said calmly, "But I'm curious, only half of the Ten Jie Guild clans present, which means that the remaining five clans should not be involved in this rebellion, isn't Zuo Xiang worried that they will rush to the palace to help?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to bother with this. Chen Shaojie laughed loudly, "Their young disciples have now been trapped in the Weeping Yang Ridge by me, life and death are uncertain, where will there be others who can ventilate the news? In addition, His Royal Highness doesn't have to waste time sending people out to ventilate the news, the old minister and Qing Yanguo's friends have already surrounded the entire imperial city, and the chamber of commerce and the post station equipped with Boqin have also placed people, whether it is the people in the palace or the disciples of the other Ten Jie clans, it is impossible to pass the message of asking for help out of Luo Jing under such circumstances." ”

"Looks like you're prepared. At this point, Liu Changxi not only did not have any panic, but felt a sense of relief. Thinking that he had been preparing for months in order to guard against a possible attack by the left minister, Liu Changxi would repeatedly recall and deduce in his mind every day before falling asleep to see if he had missed something. Such a high-pressure day is really a huge mental ordeal.

Now, although things have exceeded my expectations, I can finally stop living in anxiety all day long.

There is only one thing to do now, and that is to fight off the invading enemy with all your might!

"Chen Shaojie! You are so bold! You dare to do such a conspiracy to deceive the king!" got the secret report of the spies, the old emperor Liu Dingrui had already retired from the court early to rest, and now he was not dressed neatly, so he rushed back to the main hall with his sword.

"Old minister, please say hello to Your Majesty!" Seeing the angry Liu Dingrui, Chen Shaojie, the left minister, did not kneel down as usual, but bowed slightly, and said with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You, you, you... For many years, I have always regarded you as a talent for governing the country and trusted you! I have promoted you step by step from an unknown petty official to the position of the left minister! I have even married your sister! You have been secretly cultivating party henchmen all these years, and I have always turned a blind eye, and you are already the left minister under one person, above ten thousand people, and the power of the government and the opposition! What are you not satisfied with!" Liu Dingrui tried his best to restrain his emotions, and it was obvious that the betrayal of the person he had always trusted made it difficult for him to accept.

Over the years, the prince has been secretly reporting to himself about Zuo Xiang's strange behavior, reminding himself to pay more attention, but Liu Dingrui has never taken it to heart. On the one hand, Liu Dingrui knew that Chen Shaojie, the left minister, was the uncle of the second prince Liu Changyue, the brother of Concubine Wen, and naturally wanted to support the second prince, so it was not surprising that he would have a bad relationship with the prince. On the other hand, Lan Ci, the chief of the dark department, who is exclusive to his cronies, has always said that there is nothing abnormal in Beijing, and Liu Dingrui is naturally very relieved.

And now facts speak louder than words, Chen Shaojie really reversed, and also instigated half of the clan forces in Tunanguo, colluded with Qingyanguo and other foreign races, and suddenly attacked before the clan ceremony, like a hidden arrow that has been hidden, and the shot was aimed at his throat.

"What Your Majesty said is very true, and the old minister will naturally not forget His Majesty's favor over the years, and of course he will not forget that His Majesty ignored the repeated admonitions of the old minister, and always insisted on appointing the third prince as the prince. Chen Shaojie responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, as if the person in front of him was no longer the king of a country, but just a frail and sick old man.

"The talent of the second prince is simply not enough to support a country! This is very clear to all the civil and military officials of the dynasty!" Liu Dingrui couldn't help but roar.

"Yes, it turns out that Your Majesty decides the prince based on talent, so have you ever thought that you are not the most talented child of the first emperor, why did the first emperor make you the prince back then?"

"You! Liu Dingrui seemed to have been poked in the sore spot, and he didn't catch his breath smoothly, and coughed frantically.

"It is estimated that many of the civil and military officials present should still remember it, right? Especially you, Lord Li Mu! If Lao Chen remembers correctly, back then, you supported the talented and civil and military Her Royal Highness the eldest princess as the second empress of Tu Nanguo, why don't you tell Lao Chen, what kind of talent does our Emperor His Majesty have, which can be compared to the eldest princess Liu Lingxi, who is twenty or thirty years younger than him!?"

Hearing this familiar name, Right Prime Minister Li Mu was shocked, bit his lip stubbornly, looked directly at Chen Shaojie and responded: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is indeed talented, but it does not mean that Your Majesty is not qualified to be called the emperor, who is the most suitable successor should be decided by the first emperor, and you and I have no right to interfere!"

"Yes, it turns out that the successor was decided by the first emperor, and the old minister thought that someone had secretly tampered with the edict of the first emperor and established himself!" Chen Shaojie's eyes were playful, and the old emperor Liu Dingrui in his eyes couldn't help but tremble when he heard this.
