Hongxuan could conclude that the Emperor Dingwen Hongjing, who was sitting on the high platform of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, was controlled and manipulated by the Crown Prince.

Just like the natal mother Gu of Miao Village Chief Miao Fuzhou, it can enslave and control nine people who are planted with the slave Gu.

The Miao villages in southern Xinjiang have such means, and other territories and areas have similar means used by practitioners.

Not surprising at all.

In this world, Zhenbei King Hongxuan has come into contact with martial arts masters and sorcerers. Is there no other system?

Of course it’s impossible. There must be other systems of practitioners.

If not, how could there be such an inappropriate prince's chair in front of Emperor Dingwen's imperial throne?

This is totally inconsistent with the style of his father, Emperor Dingwen Hongjing.

Emperor Dingwen Hongjing was threatened by the cavalry of the Northern Shang Kingdom and the rebels in the southern border.

He never thought of giving up power and abdicating.

From this point of view, Emperor Dingwen Hongjing had a strong desire to be emperor. How could such a person set up a special seat for the prince in front of his throne?

So at this time Emperor Dingwen had been controlled.

There is no doubt about this.

At this time, an official wearing a scarlet robe with a picture of a white crane and blue clouds stepped out with a serious and decadent look on his face:

He was not facing the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, but the King of Zhenbei, Hongxuan, who was wearing the imperial robe with a dragon pattern.

"King of Zhenbei! Humph!"

"What a great King of Zhenbei! Although you helped the Great Feng Kingdom to eliminate the Northern Merchants' cavalry and suppressed the rebellion of the Yunzhou bandits in the southern border, even though you have great reputation and outstanding military achievements, you are now besieging the imperial city with a large army to force His Majesty. This is a heinous act of rebellion!"

"What's the difference between you, the King of Zhenbei, and the rebels and bandits of Yunzhou! I am sixty-three years old this year, and I have lived enough. As the Guanglu Doctor appointed by Your Majesty, I must be loyal to the country and serve the emperor! I will never coexist with a traitor like you, the King of Zhenbei!"

Guanglu Doctor Yu Changyu pointed at the Prince of Zhenbei and cursed.

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan looked at Guanglu Doctor Yu Changyu and smiled:

"Grand Master of Imperial Households Yu Changyu! He is truly loyal to the emperor and patriotic!"

"Are there any ministers in the court who are as resentful of me as Guanglu Dafu Yu Changyu, and who are loyal to the emperor and love the country? If there are any, please step out! Let me have a good look at them!"

As soon as the King of Zhenbei said this,

Among the hundreds of officials, nine more officials stepped forward.

These nine officials are all important ministers in the court.

Cui Siyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stepped out, pointed at the Prince of Zhenbei and was about to curse him, but he stretched out his finger and the Qilin Guards in the hall stepped forward with murderous eyes and drew their swords to kill the official.

The Qilin Guards couldn't bear to see anyone disrespecting the King of Zhenbei.

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei saw this scene and said:

"Stop! Qilin Guards, let these ministers talk it out! Let them poke my spine! Today I want to hear their words of loyalty and patriotism."

Qilin Guard said respectfully

"I humbly obey my orders!"

Cui Siyuan, the Minister of the Imperial Court, pointed at Zhenbei King Hongxuan and said

"Prince Zhenbei, what you did today will not be accepted by all officials. Even if you support the eldest prince Hongli to sit on the throne, no one will accept it!"

The Prince's Grand Tutor Zhuo Yuanguan scolded:

"King of Zhenbei, don't say that whoever you support can become the emperor! The throne of the emperor is appointed by heaven, and it is the Son of Heaven! It is not decided by you, King of Zhenbei, Hongxuan!"

"If this is such a joke, none of us ministers will approve of it. The emperor is legitimately succeeded by the crown prince. You are already the King of Zhenbei, and you should return to your territory. Instead, you are behaving recklessly in the court!"

Prince Taifu Wang Junwei stepped out and laughed loudly, "Ha ha ha ha! Prince Taifu Master Zhuo is right! King Zhenbei, today you are destroying your own Great Wall! Not only will your reputation be gone during your lifetime, but even after you die, you will bear a lifetime of infamy! Ha ha ha ha!"

Gu Zhonghui, the Grand Secretary of the Central Palace of the Cabinet, said loudly:

"King of Zhenbei! This old minister advises you to turn back and stop before it's too late! His Majesty has already bestowed upon you the title of King of Zhenbei, with territories covering five states! Why are you still not satisfied and are disrupting the government?"

Qin Degen, the Grand Secretary of Jianji Palace, looked at King Zhenbei and said:

"Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan, please leave the capital immediately. Since you have sent the criminals, Hongli, Li Haicheng, and Zhang Fangliang, to the imperial city, they will be handled by Lord Tang, the Minister of the Dali Temple!"

Dali Temple Minister Tang Deyuan stepped forward and said:

"King of Zhenbei! If everyone is like you, changing the laws and systems at will, Dafeng will be destroyed without Beishang attacking."

The new Minister of War Tao Zhaowei looked at the King of Zhenbei and said:

"You can kill all the officials in the court, but can you kill the people in the world? King Zhenbei, stop it!"

The words "Stop it!" from Tao Zhaowei, the Minister of War, were so heartbreaking that Hongxuan couldn't help but think of his grandfather in his previous life!

The new Minister of Justice Liu Yefeng angrily rebuked:

"Prince of Zhenbei! I have just taken office as the new Minister of Justice. I have never held a prince in my prison. Please hand over the eldest prince Hong Li to me. Don't make a mistake!"

The new Prime Minister Situ Yuan looked at the King of Zhenbei:

"Prince Zhenbei! You have become the target of public criticism for what has happened. If you don't wake up, your fate will be even worse than it is now. The emperor has been appointed by heaven. If you want to inherit the throne, you must be the crown prince. The crown prince set up the East Palace to prepare for the succession to the throne. You, the Prince of Zhenbei, cannot make your own decisions."

In the hall, Emperor Dingwen, who was controlled by Queen Zhu, raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

What Queen Zhu likes to see most is Prince Zhenbei Hongxuan, who is not recognized by the ministers in the court. This is her purpose. As long as Prince Zhenbei and the ministers in the court are alienated, can the court be changed by the life of Prince Zhenbei alone?

No matter how great the Zhenbei King is, it is impossible for him to kill all the ministers in the court, right?

If this is the case, how many people in the world will obey King Zhenbei?

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei did not get the recognition of the ministers. As the ministers did not obey him, he could not sit on the throne of emperor. It was even more impossible for him to let anyone become emperor. This was not in line with the ancestral system and the process of the imperial power ladder.

Crown Prince Hongze showed his delight. Even if the King of Zhenbei had made great contributions, he could not push Crown Prince Hongze off the throne.

Zhenbei King Hongxuan looked at the ministers who came out of the line with calm eyes, glanced at the ministers in the court, and criticized himself.

"Qilin Guards! Restrain the prince, put the torture instruments on Hongze, and bind his hands and feet."

The Qilin Guard had long been fed up with the verbal abuse and criticism directed at their prince by the officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

One hundred Qilin Guards rushed directly onto the platform.

Crown Prince Hongze thought that after Zhenbei King Hongxuan was criticized by the ministers, he would not dare to act rashly and bear the crime of rebellion.

Unexpectedly, Zhenbei King Hongxuan remained unmoved from beginning to end. He had already prepared to let his Qilin Guards control himself.

"You daring slaves, you daring dogs! I am the crown prince, the future emperor, how dare you bully me?"

"You are plotting rebellion together with the King of Zhenbei. Aren't you afraid that my father will exterminate all nine of your clans? Stop it, stop it!"

All the officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony underestimated the loyalty of the Qilin Guard to the King of Zhenbei.

The Qilin Guard was not moved at all. Even though the entire court and the whole world of Dafeng Kingdom said that the Prince of Zhenbei was rebelling, the Qilin Guard remained loyal to the Prince of Zhenbei without hesitation.

For the Qilin Guards, Zhenbei King Hongxuan is the supreme ruler and their only master.

In the Qilin Guard’s belief,

Even the emperor of Dafeng Kingdom is not as high in status as the King of Zhenbei. They only obey the King of Zhenbei and not the emperor of Dafeng Kingdom. This is the creed of Qilin Guard.
