The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

"I, an old minister, am opposed to enthroning Prince Duan as the crown prince," the old general continued.

"You..." Yun Yi was about to retort, but was stopped by the prime minister.

"Old General, why do you object? Do you have a more suitable candidate than Prince Duan?" the Prime Minister asked back.

"I have no one to recommend, but according to the laws of Dayu, if the emperor dies without an heir, the queen should step forward to recommend a new crown prince. Since the queen is bedridden, you can wait until she is a little better before appointing a crown prince."

"Besides, the emperor's critical illness was only spread by you. We have not seen the emperor's confirmation. It is also possible that some people with ulterior motives deliberately spread it in order to gain power."

As soon as the old general finished speaking, he aroused unanimous questioning from the opposition. Yun Yi didn't know how to control the situation in the court for a moment.

"In order to verify the truth of what you said, the queen is bedridden. We can ask Princess Yueyao to come forward and explain the situation to everyone. I heard that Princess Yueyao has returned to the palace," an old minister of the opposition continued to suggest.

"Yes, yes..." everyone responded.

Yun Yi knew that it would not be easy to appoint a crown prince, and it would be difficult to get them all to agree.

In fact, he had already made preparations. In addition to the Imperial Guards who were already his, he also stockpiled 50,000 troops outside the capital.

If the negotiations on the appointment of a crown prince fail, he will inevitably launch a coup and ascend the throne by force.

Now there are a few people who stand up against him, but they are only a very small minority. He tries to use a different approach to see if he can force them to submit.

So Yun Yi waved his hand, and the guards waiting at the door of the hall swarmed in and surrounded the ministers in the court.

"What's going on? Why are they the Imperial Guards? Why aren't they the Emperor's personal guards, the Yulin Guards?" The ministers were puzzled as to why the Imperial Guards, who were responsible for the defense of the palace, would appear here.

"Everyone, please don't panic. The Imperial Guard has been ordered to take over the defense of the palace. The reason why they were allowed in is because there are some traitors in the court who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. They have been preventing the appointment of the crown prince and trying to do something wrong. This king is thinking about Dayu's future and clearing out some scum for the court." After saying this, his eyes fell on the old general. "Do you think what I said is right, old general?"

The general has fought on the battlefield for half his life and has seen all kinds of scenes. How could he be frightened by Yun Yi's words?

So he continued, "It is clear who the traitor is. The fact that Prince Duan arbitrarily called upon the Imperial Guard to take over the Imperial Guards is enough to explain everything. Today, I swear to my death that I will never associate with you, a traitor who killed the king and attempted to usurp the throne. If you want me to agree to appoint you as the crown prince, you have to kill me. But Prince Duan, think it over. Do you dare to kill me?"

Yun Yi had completely torn his relationship with the general. He really didn't dare to kill the general, but he could imprison him first, and then wait until he sat on the throne, and then he would find a way to strip him of his military power bit by bit and then kill him.

"The general is such a joke. We just have different positions. I will not kill you just because of different positions. If you disagree, then don't disagree. But you are tired. Please go down and have a rest. Think carefully about who to support, and then come back to discuss the matter." As soon as Yun Yi finished speaking, two guards came over and walked directly to the general, wanting to take him down.

"I am not tired and do not need to go down to rest. Don't think of using those despicable means to force me to agree. I will stand here today and see who dares to touch me." The old general stood as straight as a pine tree, and stood firmly in the court like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea.

Yun Yi gave a look to the leader of the imperial guards standing beside him, and the leader immediately nodded in understanding.

"Come here... ask the old general to go down and have a rest!" As the voice of the leader of the Royal Guards fell, a group of soldiers immediately stepped forward and surrounded the old general tightly, ready to take action.

The old general's face darkened and he glared at everyone: "Okay... I have never fought with anyone in the court. Today is a good opportunity for me to try and see if my kung fu has regressed!" After that, he took a stance, ready to engage in a fierce fight with Yun Yi's guards.

At this critical moment, when the fight was about to break out, a voice directly stopped their fight.

"Stop... Your Highness, let's see who dares to touch the general." After the words fell, the ministers looked in the direction of the voice.

It was the Crown Prince, dressed in a python robe and with an extraordinary majestic temperament, who walked in with firm steps after being resurrected.

The moment Yun Yi saw Yun Jiusi, he was a little incredulous and blurted out in panic: "Yun Jiusi, aren't you dead? This man must be a fake. Come on, come on, take this thief who pretends to be the Crown Prince out and beat him to death." Even if Yun Jiusi came back to life, he would still see him off.

Because the palace was already under his control, he believed that Yun Jiusi did not have the strength to compete with him.

Just as he finished speaking, a group of people headed towards Yun Jiusi. Before they could touch Yun Jiusi, they were shot dead by unknown arrows. A group of people were shot and fell to the ground at the same time.

Yun Yi was a little flustered as he watched everything happening in front of him, but thinking of his own advantages, he pretended to be calm and confronted Yun Jiusi.

"Come here, the criminal Yun Yi, plotted to murder the crown prince, killed the king, and harmed the queen and princess. He is guilty of treason and deserves to be tortured to death. Gu Nian is the only blood of the second uncle, so wait until the emperor wakes up before asking for an order to execute him. Take him away now and put him in the sky prison to await punishment." Yun Jiusi had just finished speaking when a guard came in from outside and wanted to capture Yun Yi, but was stopped by the imperial guards standing on the side.

The Imperial Guards have already defected to Yun Yi. If Yun Yi fails, they will also be killed without a burial place. They must protect Yun Yi and fight against Yun Jiusi, striving to seize the supreme position.

"Your Highness advises you to retreat quickly and not come here to die. Your Highness can stand here safely. Do you think the right to guard the imperial palace will still be in the hands of the Imperial Guards?" Yun Juesi's words were indeed useful. The Imperial Guards who were just confronting the Dark Guard Camp dropped their weapons directly.

"What are you doing? Don't be scared by his two words. There is no way the Royal Guards can be taken down so easily by him. I order you to take up your weapons and protect His Royal Highness Prince Duan." The words of the leader of the Royal Guards did not restore the confidence of the soldiers who had laid down their weapons. Instead, all the soldiers lowered their heads silently and chose to ignore his orders.

"Haha...haha, Yun Jiusi, do you think that you have won just by defeating the Imperial Guards?" Yun Yi's arrogant sneer made the people present shudder, and they all guessed what Yun Yi's next move would be?
