After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

The Third Prince looked at Prince Rong, whose face had turned the color of liver with anger, and said in a gentle voice, "Stop it. As long as you surrender now, I will persuade my father to spare your lives."

"Shu Zi!!"

Thinking of his dead wife and children, Prince Rong stared at the Third Prince, his dark pupils filled with murderous intent, "You killed my entire family, and I will settle the account with you later!"

"Why waste time talking to them?"

The prince looked a little impatient. He raised his eyes and looked directly at the emperor, whose face was livid. "Father, you are old and confused. It's time to abdicate and let the wise take over."

"Rebellious son!!"

He could tolerate others betraying the emperor, but he had spoiled the prince since he was a child. He was so angry that he covered his chest and felt his eyes go dark.

"Issue an edict. If you voluntarily abdicate, you will still be the honorable emperor of the Great Zhou. I will order people to serve you well and let you spend your old age in peace."

As the prince spoke, he drew the sword from his waist and pointed it at the emperor. The imperial guards behind him quickly formed a formation and moved forward.

Upon seeing this, all the ministers hid away, fearing that they would be in trouble.

At this moment, Zhao Qingming, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and said, "Your Highness, please think twice!"

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Nowadays, there are frequent external troubles. If we add internal troubles, it will inevitably lead to unrest in the world and the people will suffer!"

"Sir Zhao, instead of trying to persuade me, you should persuade my father."

Upon hearing this, the prince curled his lips and smiled, "As for the internal and external troubles you mentioned, I will take care of everything after I ascend the throne. By then, I will need your assistance."

At this time, Prime Minister Xiao stepped forward, bowed to the Crown Prince and said, "Your Highness, what Lord Zhao said is not without reason. The situation is delicate now. If Your Highness ascends the throne by force, it may be difficult to convince the people. It is better to put aside your prejudices for the time being and discuss countermeasures with Your Majesty. It will not be too late to discuss this matter again when the world is at peace."

The emperor saw this and thought, "Prince, I can grant you the power of regent and let us rule the country together."

The prince glanced at the sword in his hand and couldn't help laughing, "Lord Zhao, Prime Minister Xiao, are you guys teasing me?"

Things have come to this point, and they are still dreaming of surrendering. How ridiculous!

If he puts down the sword today, his head will fall to the ground like the sword.

The prince raised his eyes to the emperor and said, "Father, if you don't issue an edict, don't blame me for being unfilial!"

He waved his hand, and eight tied-up children were brought in.

The oldest is only ten years old, and the youngest is only five or six years old.

The emperor always regarded the concubines in the harem as playthings, but the prince did not waste any extra energy tying them up.

"Father, please save me!"

"Father, save me!"

The childish cries echoed throughout the hall. The prince placed his sword across the neck of one of the chubby princes with an evil smile on his face.

"Father, you don't want to watch your good sons die in front of you, do you?"

"You rebellious son! Someone come here!"

The emperor shouted "Someone come", but no one responded, and his face turned pale instantly.

"Ning Chen, what are you doing, do you want to rebel too?!"

Lord Ning walked up to the prince with an expressionless face, his meaning was self-evident.

All the prince's followers in the hall walked up to the prince. Suddenly, half of the court officials stood beside the prince.

The emperor saw many of the ministers he had entrusted with important tasks, and his hands were shaking as if he had epilepsy as he pointed at them.

“You, you guys…”

The prince looked at those who were still wavering with a cold gaze, and said in a cold voice: "I will give you another chance to choose. If you are willing to follow me today, I will forgive you for what happened before, and I will entrust you with important tasks in the future. If you are stubborn and refuse to change, I will not show mercy!"

Many ministers whose families were held hostage by the prince looked hesitant, but seeing the current situation, when they were ready to compromise, the old lady spoke.

"My Lords, the Crown Prince is guilty of treason, so please think twice before you act."

"Madam Lu, my family is in the hands of the prince. If you don't agree, they will all die!"

Those who sent their families out of the city were naturally not members of the Prince's party. Among these people, many were members of the Third Prince's party, and a few were loyal to the Emperor.

"Yes, my wife, children and elders are all in the hands of the prince."

"We don't want to do that either, but who will save them?"

They looked helpless, but unwilling, and hesitated for a while.

Bai Youyou's eyes swept across their faces, and a voice like a silver bell rang out in the hall, "Don't be afraid, everyone. Your families have returned to the mansion now. You don't have to be threatened by the crown prince."

"Is what you said true?"

"Madam Lu, is what your grandson said true?"

Many people's eyes were red, and they looked at Madam Lu anxiously.

"Before entering the palace, I had people guard the West City Courtyard. Once the palace banquet begins, someone will rescue them."

Bai Youyou's words made the prince's face change suddenly, but now all the court officials were surrounded by him, even without those hostages, they still could not escape from his grasp.

"Humph, a bunch of caged beasts!"

He raised his sword and walked towards Bai Youyou, his expression ferocious, "I am the Lord of Destiny, and it is because of you, a bitch, that I have no choice but to take this path of treason!"

Bai Youyou was not afraid at all, with a hint of sarcasm on her face, "Your Highness, how can you commit treason just because someone forces you to do it? You have long coveted the throne, and I am just an excuse for you."

"How could it not be you? It's you, the odd one, who has brought me to this point!"

The prince was so angry that he raised his sword and stabbed Bai Youyou, "Today, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Bai Youyou stood motionless, the silver sword reflected in her dark eyes. Just when the sword was about to reach her heart, Nanny Jiang beside her raised her foot and kicked the sword out of his hand.

As everyone was stunned, the Third Prince seized the opportunity and shouted, "Those who follow me to protect the emperor will be rewarded handsomely in the future!"

Some of the originally hesitant ministers suddenly changed sides and stood in front of the emperor to protect him.

The prince smiled coldly upon seeing this, "The Imperial Guards are my people, and there are 30,000 troops outside the city. Father, if you don't issue an edict, I will order them to attack the city!"

Bai Youyou looked at him as if he were a fool, "Your Highness, being too confident is not a good thing."

"What do you mean?"

The prince shot her a cold look, as if he wanted to cut her into pieces with his eyes.

"Your attempt to force the emperor to abdicate is really stupid." Bai Youyou said bluntly, "There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. Your people have been very active recently, so it's hard not to attract attention. Now that we know about this, do you think others don't have a defense plan?"

"Do you think you can let people down by finding a stand-in to act out a cover-up? Do you think too highly of yourself, or do you think others are fools?"

They actually knew?!

There was a moment of panic on the prince's face.

He had prepared that substitute long ago, and his face was almost 90% similar to his. Plus with the disguise, even people close to him might not be able to detect it.
