The First Tyrant of Daxia

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!" Chang Hong was dressed in a bright armor. After experiencing many ups and downs, his face, now in his thirties, showed determination and sophistication.

"Give Lord Chang a seat." Qin Yun waved his hand.

Chang Hong looked terrified and bowed repeatedly before he dared to sit down.

"How's the task I asked you to do going?" Qin Yun said straight to the point.

Chang Hong said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have already done it."

"He Xiu, the deputy commander of the Right Camp, asked me to send his regards to you!"

Qin Yun grinned. This feeling was really good. He had his own people in the enemy camp.

Not long ago, the shadow guard reported a piece of information saying that the Right Camp General Han Qinhu and the Deputy Commander-in-Chief He Xiu were in serious conflict, seemingly because of military affairs, and also seemed to be because of fighting over a brothel girl.

Han Qinhu is Wang Wei's confidant, and since he cannot be persuaded to defect, Qin Yun simply lets Chang Hong persuade He Xiu to defect.

"Your Majesty, He Xiu said that he can only mobilize 3,000 soldiers, and the other junior officers are all loyal to Han Qinhu, so he dare not act rashly."

Qin Yun said with a smile: "That's enough. Three thousand people are enough to catch them by surprise."

"Besides, it is not certain that soldiers will be used. It all depends on what Wang Wei and his men want to do while I am sick."

Chang Hong nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I have replaced all nine gates of the palace with reliable men. Together with all the imperial guards, I still have 12,000 men."

"As long as the treacherous minister dares to rebel, I will fight to the death!"

"As long as we delay the time, troops from all over the country will surely rise up to support the king!"

Qin Yun waved his hands and said, "Chang Hong, Chang Hong, you don't know Wang Wei at all."

Chang Hong hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, please explain clearly."

"This old fox will never take any risks. Power in the government is not the same as treason. I don't think he will mobilize troops."

Chang Hong asked again: "Then what does he want?"

Qin Yun was about to speak when Eunuch Xi's anxious voice was heard outside the door.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

"Outside the palace, the ministers are clamoring to see you. They also said that there are many important matters for you to decide, and they will not leave unless they see you."

"Lord Wang also...said that he suspected someone in the palace was holding Your Majesty hostage and preventing the monarch and his subjects from meeting."

Qin Yun sneered and looked at Chang Hong: "Did you hear that? Wang Wei has started to attack."

"Get out immediately and tell me that I am not feeling well and will not see you!"

Although Chang Hong didn't understand, he immediately went out and did it.

After a while, Chang Hong led a team of imperial guards to the palace gate.

In front of him, a large group of ministers were stopped by the imperial guards and were arguing loudly.

When they saw Chang Hong coming, they shouted at him indignantly.

"Master Chang, what do you mean? You sealed off the nine gates, sent so many more troops, and still won't let us see His Majesty. Are you planning a rebellion?!"

A third-rank minister scolded him and directly accused him of rebellion.

"presumptuous!"

Chang Hong's face was ugly, and he retorted: "I was ordered by His Majesty to impose martial law in the palace to prevent anyone from doing anything wrong during His Majesty's illness."

"Really? Then why don't you let us go in and see His Majesty? Does Lord Chang think that we, the ministers, are planning a rebellion?"

Chang Hong's expression remained calm: "I didn't do that, but I was ordered by the Emperor. I hope you all will understand."

The crowd started shouting and cursing again, and making sarcastic comments.

After a while, everyone separated and Lin Changshu, dressed in a purple robe, walked to the front.

He is the prime minister, ostensibly the head of all officials, and has a lot of say.

"Lord Chang." He bowed slightly, appearing very calm.

Chang Hong returned the greeting.

"Your Majesty has been ill for many days and has not attended the morning court for several days in a row. Even the ministers like me have not even seen Your Majesty. How can you let us feel at ease?"

"Recently, rumors have been rife in the palace that His Majesty is seriously ill and may not be able to govern the country. Officials and common people are all in a state of panic. If this continues, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Chang Hong's expression remained unchanged, but he did not speak.

Lin Changshu continued, "Today, I must meet His Majesty. If Lord Chang insists on having his own way, then I will have no choice but to hold a cabinet meeting and remove you from your position!"

As he spoke, his eyes showed a cold look, full of threat.

According to the law, if something unexpected happens to the emperor, the cabinet meeting can indeed decide on many important matters of appointment and dismissal.

Chang Hong was trembling all over. From the tone of his voice, it seemed like he was forcing the emperor to abdicate in disguise!

Then, all the ministers began to speak out at the same time, and their voices were extremely loud.

"The Prime Minister is right!"

"We need to know the safety of your Majesty! To prevent treacherous officials and villains from causing chaos!"

"If you don't see your majesty, we will jointly report to the cabinet and depose you, Chang Hong!"

"... "

Under normal circumstances, Chang Hong would have stepped back and asked Qin Yun for instructions.

But today, he couldn't retreat no matter what. Qin Yun had given him a death order not to let anyone into the palace no matter what.

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly tense and the ministers were emotional, Chang Hong had no choice but to take drastic measures.

He drew out his long sword with one hand.

Then, all the imperial guards drew their swords at the same time, and the clanging sound of the long swords seemed extremely crisp and murderous!

Chang Hong roared, "If you dare to move forward again, I will kill you without mercy according to your majesty's order!"

There was a murderous look in his eyes, and he was extremely powerful!

The ministers were so frightened that they stepped back and almost fell down.

Lin Changshu's expression suddenly changed, his brows knitted, and he looked at Chang Hong sharply: "Chang Hong, what do you want to do?!"

Chang Hong's expression remained unchanged, as cold as ice, and he said in a low voice: "I am following orders, and I hope the Prime Minister will understand. Please step down!"

"Otherwise, I will not be polite!"

"You!" Lin Changshu was so angry that his face turned blue, but he soon endured it and a green light flashed in his eyes!

The palace is under such high-intensity martial law, I’m afraid the emperor is really dying!

"Humph!"

"Chang Hong, just wait for me!" He turned away in a hurry.

Seeing Chang Hong's tough attitude, Lin Changshu also left, and the ministers quickly dispersed like a mob.

Seeing this, Chang Hong ordered a strict defense and then immediately went to the imperial study to report the news.

Who could have thought that there was a fierce quarrel in front of the palace gate just now.

Everyone thought that Qin Yun was dying, but in fact, he was exercising behind the screen in the imperial study with Yan'er, the charming little palace maid.

The noise was so loud that Yan'er even scratched the screen.

After Chang Hong arrived, he was stopped by Eunuch Xi and was not allowed in until half a day later.

"Your Majesty, Lord Lin and others have withdrawn."

Qin Yun's face flushed red, and he took a big sip of tea to quench his thirst. The difficult moves he had just done with Yan'er made his legs a little numb.

"Oh? Back off?"

"Where's Wang Wei?"

Chang Hong frowned and shook his head: "When I went there, I didn't see him. It was Prime Minister Lin Changshu who led the riot and slandered me for treason and imprisoned Your Majesty."

"Old fox!" Qin Yun cursed. Instead of coming out himself, he pushed out such a puppet prime minister.

"Okay, I understand, please step back."

Chang Hong hesitated, frowned and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, looking at this situation, someone... wants to force the emperor to abdicate!"

Qin Yun smiled mysteriously: "I was afraid that he would not come to force me to abdicate!"

Chang Hong was shocked, and immediately understood that His Majesty was fishing on purpose!

"Your Majesty is wise!" He bowed and then slowly stepped out.

After he left, Qin Yun lay on the dragon chair and shouted, "Yan'er, come out and give me a massage."

Yan'er came out, neatly dressed with her blush still on her face. Her skin was moist and she was so beautiful.

She trembled slightly as she walked, slowly climbed onto the dragon chair, and gently massaged Qin Yun's head.

"Your Majesty, are you comfortable?"

Qin Yun smiled slyly: "Yan'er, are you comfortable?"

Yan'er blushed and said shyly, "Your Majesty, Long Wei, Yan'er...liked it very much."
