"This~" Li Hao had no idea.

"Those people are hunting down my Ye family and trying to wipe them out completely. They're using endless tricks, even resorting to witchcraft from the Miao border."

The term witchcraft was an absolute taboo in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Li Hao had never expected that his good grandfather and uncle would actually invite someone who knew witchcraft in order to get rid of the Ye family.

Li Hao now had some understanding of why the Ye family wanted to rebel.

Ye Xiongtian continued to stare at Li Hao and said, "From that moment on, I made up my mind that the future of the Ye family must be in the hands of the Ye family."

Li Hao lowered his head, speechless.

Ye Zhanying stared at Li Hao, who was silent on the city wall, before he spoke out the thoughts of all the Ye family members: "Father, don't waste your breath on this loser."

Ye Zhanyang hated the Bian family to the core. The spear in his hand trembled. "Hand over the Bian family."

Li Hao was stunned, his mind went blank.

He doesn't know what to do?

In the light of the fire, Ye Zhanpeng saw that Li Hao was still confused, so he raised the firearm in his hand, aimed at the flag closest to Li Hao and opened fire.

With a "bang", the flagpole fell to the ground.

"Ah!" Li Hao covered his ears in fear and squatted down helplessly.

"Hao'er." An old figure staggered, holding on to the city wall, and laboriously stepped up the steps one by one.

"Granduncle." Li Hao seemed to have gained confidence when he saw Prince Chen. "Granduncle, what should I do?"

Prince Chen held the trembling Li Hao in his arms, then approached the battlement to look at the Ye family below.

"Ye Xiongtian, it is my Li family that has failed the Ye family's loyalty."

"What's the point of saying this now?"

"Ye Xiongtian..."

"Open the city gates! I don't want rivers of blood to flow, nor do I want lives to be destroyed."

Prince Chen knew the Great Zhou was doomed, but he still wanted to secure a glimmer of hope for his nephew. "Ye Xiongtian, Hao'er is truly unfit to be the Great Zhou's ruler. I can have Hao'er write a decree of abdication. Could you please show some mercy..."

The Ye family members under the city wall were also stunned when they heard what Prince Chen said. They did not expect such an outcome.

The Ye family liked this result. No matter what, if the Emperor of the Great Zhou abdicated, it would be much more legitimate for the Ye family to take power.

As for Li Hao and other members of the royal family, even if they didn't die, they wouldn't be able to cause any big waves.

The Bian family, who were hiding in their rooms, never dreamed that after Prince Chen and Li Hao went up to the city wall, the Great Zhou would change hands, and the Li family's world would become the Ye family's.

The Ye family is a family of military generals, so there is not much to say. It is better to do it today than to wait for a day.

When the people in the capital woke up, Da Zhou had been renamed Da Qian, and Da Qian's founding emperor Ye Xiongtian had ascended the throne.

The first imperial decree issued by Emperor Daqian was to execute the entire Bian family. As for the relatives of the Bian family, those of three or nine clans who were in cahoots with the Bian family would be beheaded. For those who had not done anything evil, Emperor Daqian only ordered them to move to the northwest and not return to Beijing within three generations.

Ye Dalang brought his younger brothers with him to raid the Bian family's house.

Ye Jiashilang, Dajun and Xiaojun, a large group of people, rushed to the Bian family.

Looking at the gate of the Bian family's mansion, which was only slightly inferior to the imperial palace, Ye Dalang to Ye Jiulang were extremely angry.

Thinking about how their family had suffered so much because of the Bian family's ambition, Ye Balang and Ye Jiulang were the first to suffer.

They also forgot the instructions given by their eldest brother when they came out. They urged their horses and picked up their guns, wanting to smash everything they saw.

Ye Dalang and Ye Erlang quickly shouted, "Only arrest the Bian family. Don't damage any property. All the money will go into the national treasury."

"Oh."

The sons of the Ye family are all good at managing their lives. After hearing what their eldest and second brothers said, they all drew back their spears and followed their elder brothers' example, instructing the imperial guards, "Catch them, catch them, don't damage anything."

Imperial Guards: The dynasty has changed, and it is different from the Great Zhou.

Then Emperor Daqian issued two more imperial edicts, conferring the title of Marquis of Anle on Li Hao and the title of Marquis of Jinxiang on Li Yan (Prince Chen), to be passed down for five generations, and ordering them to immediately take the Li clan members back to their hometown to live.

After receiving the imperial edict, Li Hao was still in a daze, but Li Yan was quite happy. "This is much better than I expected."

"Granduncle..."

"Just call me uncle from now on." Li Yan straightened his nephew's clothes before revealing his previous suspicions. "Uncle had previously believed that even if His Majesty Ye...didn't kill us, he would still imprison us until we died of old age."

"Granduncle~"

"Hao'er, compared to us, the Ye family is quite kind and righteous. We should be content."

After Li Yan finished talking to Li Hao, he instructed the women to pack their belongings. "The emperor has allowed us to carry one bag each, so we can take the valuables and the important things."

"Yes."

The women heard Li Yanrang take out valuable things, important things.

The former Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Hao's first wife, Cui, rushed back to her palace, and her two personal maids were unable to catch up with her.

Cui ran back to her bedroom and immediately changed into clothes that were convenient for walking.

When the two maids came running back panting, Cui immediately ordered them, "Hurry up and pack your belongings and change of clothes."

"My Queen~"

"We don't have time for nonsense. If you want to come with me, hurry up and pack your things."

"Master, we are the Cui family."

"Then hurry up and pack your things. We only have time to do it."

"Here." The two personal maids went to pack their things.

Cui then took out two sets of clothes that looked like riding clothes and pulled over a large bag.

This big pocket was made by her when she was bored. It has two straps and looks better than an ordinary pocket.

Cui put all her clothes into a big bag, then crawled under her bed and took out a small bag. In this bag was all her property, the 200,000 taels of silver notes her father gave her when she got married.

When she first entered the palace, her good mother-in-law disliked her and tried to sow discord between her and the emperor because she did not give the banknotes to her.

Fortunately, the emperor was not blind and knew what kind of person his mother was. He did not join her in the mischief. Otherwise, her life in the palace would have been even more difficult.

Cui put all these things away before tidying up the things on the dressing table.

She did not touch the phoenix crown and phoenix hairpin. To be more precise, she did not touch any of the palace items with different grades.

She swept the rest directly into one pocket, and carried some small change and some small-denomination silver bills with her.

Only after someone outside called out to them to go out and gather did Cui pick up her big bag and walk out of the bedroom.

Outside the bedroom, her two personal maids were each carrying a large bag. The master and servants smiled at each other, followed the guards out of the palace and walked towards the gathering place.
