After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

Queen Wang and Prince Qi's expressions changed slightly.

The minister was so frightened that his face turned pale and he knelt on the ground: "I dare not!"

Emperor Yong's face was already livid as he said, "Come here, drag him away and behead him!"

"Your Majesty..."

As Queen Wang pleaded for mercy, King Qi shook his head at her.

This person should never have said the words "we are all guilty together" in front of so many people. The people's will represents the whole world, and the emperor will not miss this opportunity.

This chess piece is useless.

Ye Zuan immediately led the imperial guards to drag the minister away and beheaded him in front of all the officials and people.

Emperor Yong swept his majestic gaze over all the officials and said in a deep voice, "I hope you all remember that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Although I am the Emperor of Dayong, Dayong does not belong to me, nor to you gentlemen, but to the millions of people of Dayong, and to the people of the world! Where the people want is where I want. I hope you all will keep this in mind!"

Over a hundred officials immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

The common people present were filled with tears. They were worried that Queen Wang and others would punish them, but they did not expect that His Majesty would directly execute the official and say that the world belonged to them, the common people.

With such a wise ruler, Dayong will surely prosper!

"Our emperor is wise and holy, long live the Great Yong!"

Deafening cheers echoed throughout the Taimiao.

Queen Wang and the core members of the Wang family all had gloomy expressions on their faces. The emperor's move of killing the chicken was not only a warning to them, but also earned him a good reputation for caring for the people!

Emperor Yong glanced at the faces of Queen Wang and the Wang family's followers, and continued in a deep voice: "Lu Mingyue committed murder and arson, and betrayed his loyalty. He deserves death. Gongsun Zhi also deserves death for committing murder and breaking the law.

But——"

Emperor Yong looked at the kneeling people in the square and said in a kind and gentle voice, "Since over ten thousand people in Kyoto have pleaded for Gongsun Zhi, I cannot ignore it. I hereby decree that Gongsun Zhi's death sentence may be spared, but her crimes will not be pardoned. Effective immediately, she will be exiled three thousand miles away!"

Although exile is a serious crime, at least his life was saved.

Zhao Hu felt relieved.

He secretly glanced at Yan Qing, one of the official's family members.

The method of reading books from ten thousand people was taught to him by Miss Yan Er. Even the words of flattery he said while kneeling to the emperor were specially suggested by Miss Yan Er.

Miss Yan Er said she would help him save Azhi, and she actually did it.

The common people who followed him to the Imperial Ancestral Temple immediately cheered: "Long live the emperor!"

"Be flat."

Gongsun Zhi was just a small incident.

But this small incident intimidated Wang's party and increased his prestige among the people, so Emperor Yong was in a good mood.

He seemed to realize it belatedly and turned back to look at Queen Wang: "What do you think of my handling of the matter?"

Queen Wang forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty is wise and wise. It was I who was reckless just now."

Emperor Yong then smiled with satisfaction and said, "Return to the palace."

"Get started!"

Eunuch Yu called out loudly again.

This time the people did not block them, but spontaneously made way for them.

The royal guard marched forward in a mighty procession.

However, just as the honor guard was about to leave the square, a group of masked men suddenly rushed out of the crowd, holding sharp blades and rushing towards Emperor Yong in the honor guard.

The people screamed and became a mess.

The officials were also frightened and panicked.

"Escort! Escort!"

Prime Minister Yang Chengzhong immediately stepped forward to protect the emperor.

Other officials also flocked to the emperor, including several princes and emperors.

The officials' families retreated in fear.

Yan Qing glanced around and sure enough, she didn't see Gu Huaizhou.

She looked towards the emperor again and saw Gu Huaizhou mixed in with the officials and approaching Emperor Yong.

Her eyebrows frowned instantly.

Gu Huaizhou was only a distant relative of the Yan family at that time. What was he doing there? Did he want to protect the emperor?

But if he wanted to protect the emperor, he would have to stand in front of the crowd, and then his hidden identity would be exposed...

and many more!

Did Gu Huaizhou do it on purpose?

He wants to expose himself?

But why?

In his previous life, didn't he wait until the next spring examination, when he passed the exam and became the top scorer, and then gradually gained power in the court before announcing his identity?

While Yan Qing was thinking about this, he happened to see one of the assassins seem to make eye contact with Gu Huaizhou.

Her eyes suddenly widened: Could it be that these assassins...

How dare he?

This is crazy!

Just as Yan Qing was shocked, the assassin had already started fighting with the imperial guards.

Although all the officials rushed to Emperor Yong's side, most of them were civil officials and could only use their bodies to protect Emperor Yong and the Empress as they left.

Although Ye Zuan was good at martial arts, the assassins had all gone through years of training. After sacrificing a few assassins, the leader finally rushed to Emperor Yong and said, "You dog emperor, give me your life!"

A low, hoarse voice suddenly rang out, and a snow-white blade pierced towards Emperor Yong.

Queen Wang cried out in alarm, "My prince, help me."

Hide behind the King of Qi.

Emperor Yong was so angry that his face turned pale.

He was surrounded by civil officials, and not a single one of them carried a sword.

Although Emperor Yong had some martial arts skills, he was not proficient in them. Now he had no way to protect himself even if he wanted to use a weapon.

He could only watch helplessly as the assassin's knife stabbed him.

At the critical moment, a figure suddenly rushed in front of him and protected him behind him.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

When the clear voice sounded, the assassin's blade had already pierced into the man's body.

The assassin immediately drew his sword and retreated after missing the attack.

"retreat!"

At the command of the assassin leader, all the assassins immediately retreated and retreated into the crowd without any hesitation.

Ye Zuan said in a deep voice: "Where to escape?!"

He immediately took the imperial guards and chased after him.

The assassin leader was extremely cruel and ruthless. He even grabbed several of his companions and threw them at Ye Zuan.

Ye Zuan stopped him and had to stop.

In just a moment, the assassin leader and the remaining men disappeared without a trace.

Ye Zuan's face was grim as he grabbed the few unlucky ones who had been left behind and returned to report: "Your Majesty, the assassins have escaped. We only caught these few."

Emperor Yong didn't care about the assassin at this moment.

When he saw Gu Huaizhou standing in front of him, he was both moved and distressed.

Among so many sons, he was the only one who stood by him and protected him in times of crisis, even at the risk of his own life.

He was right about his son.

All these years of forbearance were worth it!

"The imperial physician! The imperial physician!"

Emperor Yong said in a trembling voice: "Quick! Come and save them!"

Whenever the emperor traveled, he would be accompanied by an imperial physician.

The director of the Imperial Hospital, Mr. Zhang, immediately came forward carrying a medicine box.

Although Yan Qing guessed that this assassination was most likely directed and acted by Gu Huaizhou himself, his heart was lifted when he saw the large bloodstain on his chest.

She stared at Gu Huaizhou's face closely.

But nothing must happen!

Zhang Yuanzheng asked someone to help support Gu Huaizhou's body. The wound was on his chest and pierced his back, so the bleeding had to be stopped immediately.

Zhang Yuanzheng was carefully tearing open Gu Huaizhou's clothes.

The bloody wound was shocking.

Everyone gasped.

However, Zhang Yuanzheng was slightly stunned when he saw a crescent-shaped birthmark near the wound.
