Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

At the entrance to the Imperial Study, both Wang Yu's men and Li Ziqian's men heard the sounds coming from inside.

Both groups were somewhat anxious, each wanting to rush in and help their master.

Then they realized, no, they couldn't break in!

There was only one door, and the two groups of people were facing each other. Who would dare to make a move?

If you're not afraid of causing a major conflict between the two sides, then give it a try!

Because the two sides were deadlocked, they had no choice but to let the two big shots fight each other inside the house.

However, the fight didn't last long. Soon, the noise inside subsided, and then the door to the Imperial Study was opened.

Li Ziqian's hair was disheveled, his white hair was hanging down, his sleeves were torn, and there was even blood at the corner of his mouth.

However, he came out, and it seemed he was still muttering something under his breath.

"Sir, are you alright?"

The moment Li Ziqian emerged, his loyal soldiers immediately surrounded him and protected him.

"What are you doing? What could possibly be wrong with me? Get out of the way."

Li Ziqian was startled by the sudden surge of people, but upon closer inspection, he realized they were his own people.

It doesn't matter if they're one of our own.

Li Ziqian turned around and closed the door to the imperial study while tidying his clothes.

Then he turned his head, looked at the person in front of him, and slowly said:

"Your Majesty is ill, and quite seriously so. You cannot visit him, otherwise anyone who does will also become ill."

After Li Ziqian finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

What a lame excuse! What a ridiculous reason! Father-in-law, could you be any more childish?

Do you really think that no one saw the marks left on your face from the fight?

"Father-in-law, what have you done to the King?"

The imperial guards loyal to Wang Yu, seeing Li Ziqian in this state, were at a loss as to what to do.

This Li Ziqian, he wouldn't kill the king, would he?

"I didn't do anything. It's just that His Majesty is ill and a bit crazy, and he wants to hit people. I controlled His Majesty for a while. For the next period of time, His Majesty will have to stay in the royal study and will be unable to handle state affairs."

Li Ziqian said this with remarkable composure.

This is the posture of a victor!

Just now in the study, this 64-year-old man actually pinned down and beat up Wang Yu, who was in his thirties. It was truly astonishing.

Of course, Li Ziqian was also old and his stamina was not very good, otherwise, this beating might have killed Wang Yu.

"What if Your Majesty is unable to handle state affairs?"

Someone asked Li Ziqian.

"His Majesty said that for the next period of time, until he recovers, all political affairs will be handled by me."

Li Ziqian calmly replied, "What else can we do? Of course, we'll take all the power into our own hands."

"Father-in-law, this is treason!"

The leading general had already gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

"No, I was entrusted by the King to manage state affairs on his behalf. Besides, I am the Prime Minister, and the affairs of Goryeo should be my responsibility."

Surrounded by his own men, Li Ziqian was not afraid of Wang Yu's subordinates at all.

"That's right! The Imperial Father-in-law works so diligently every day! How dare you slander him! You deserve to die!"

"That's right, only the Emperor's father-in-law can save Goryeo!"

"The King's father-in-law is a great contributor to Goryeo! Yet you are slandering him now, are you even human?"

Li Ziqian's men immediately cheered for their boss.

"Father-in-law, how could you do such a thing..."

Those loyal to Wang Yu certainly understood Li Ziqian's meaning.

What does it mean to manage government affairs on behalf of others?

This is rebellion!

By placing the king under house arrest and seizing power over the entire Goryeo kingdom, this is a palace coup! A palace coup!

"brush"

Those imperial guards loyal to Wang Yu drew their weapons and aimed them at Li Ziqian.

"The Imperial Guards' mission is to protect the King, Father-in-law, you cannot leave today!"

"Haha, what a joke, how many of you are there?"

Facing these people loyal to Wang Yu, Li Ziqian remained completely calm.

He wasn't afraid of Wang Yu, so why would he be afraid of Wang Yu's underlings?

Where are my trusted confidants?

"Brush~"

In response to Lee Tzu-chien, many more people drew their weapons!

"Protect the Emperor's father-in-law! Protect the Emperor's father-in-law!"

Seeing more and more people gathering around him, Li Ziqian felt even more confident:

"This is the royal capital of Goryeo! What do you want to do? Do you want to turn this place into a river of blood?"

Li Ziqian was not afraid of a bloody fight at all; he had the numbers!

On the other hand, without Wang Yu, the morale of the soldiers who were loyal to him was actually greatly affected.

Right now, they're probably just holding on by sheer willpower.

"Father! Father! I've captured the palace!"

Just as the two sides continued to stand in a stalemate, suddenly another army rushed in from outside and surrounded Wang Yu's loyal followers once again!

The leader of this army was none other than Li Zimei!

"Listen up, Goryeo Imperial Guards! The King is ill and unable to govern. From this day forward, the Crown Prince will rule as regent, and the King's father-in-law, Yi Ja-gyeom, will assist him!"

Seeing her father standing at the entrance of the Imperial Study, protected by her own family, Li Zimei immediately understood that her father had succeeded!

So he immediately addressed everyone as agreed beforehand.

"Father-in-law, this is a palace coup!"

The imperial guards of Wang Yu's faction, who were surrounded, could only make a final stand.

"Whether it's a palace coup or not is up to me. You have two choices now."

Li Ziqian looked at these people and a victorious smile appeared on his face:

"First, you can throw down your weapons and surrender voluntarily. Second, you can continue to resist stubbornly, but in the future, the whole country will know that you were the ones who tried to rebel and were then suppressed by me."

"I'll give you three breaths!"

"three!"

"two!"

"thump!"

"Father-in-law of the Emperor! I am willing to surrender!"

"I am willing to surrender!"

……

Li Ziqian only shouted twice, and some of those loyal to Wang Yu couldn't withstand the pressure, threw down their weapons, and knelt down to surrender.

Once someone sets an example, more and more people will follow suit, and before long, the team that originally had several hundred people was reduced to only a few dozen.

"killed."

Li Ziqian didn't say much. It was within his expectations that Wang Yu would have some die-hard loyalists. If Wang Yu couldn't even cultivate this many loyalists, then he would really look down on him.

"kill!!"

At Li Ziqian's command, the soldiers around him rushed out immediately!

"For the King!"

The few dozen imperial guards who had not surrendered also charged forward, shouting slogans.

Although they knew they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot against so many people, they were willing to die for their country!

Your Majesty! We've arrived!

However, the shouts of battle did not last long. A moment later, these dozens of imperial guards loyal to Wang Yu were all beheaded.

"Give me the leader's head."

Li Ziqian reached out and took the head of the leading imperial guard, grabbed him by the hair and lifted him up, ignoring the blood still dripping from his head. He then turned around, pushed open the door of the imperial study, and carried the head inside.

In the Imperial Study, Wang Yu's clothes were tattered, and he was tightly bound to a pillar with a wad of cloth stuffed in his mouth.

At this moment, Wang Yu was bruised and battered, looking utterly disheveled.

"Boom~"

Li Ziqian casually tossed the head of the imperial guard in front of Wang Yu.

"You're not bad, you have people willing to die for you, but what good are so few people?"

Li Ziqian looked at Wang Yu, his tone very calm.

"In terms of skill, you can't beat me; in terms of men, you don't have as many as I do. Wang Yu, what makes you think you can defeat me?"

"Um! Uh..."

Looking at the head of his loyal subordinate, Wang Yu was extremely agitated. He glared at Li Ziqian, twisted his body wildly, and kept shouting something!

Unfortunately, they were tied up too tightly, and no matter how much they struggled, it was useless.

"Alright, save your energy. If you weren't still useful, you would be in the same situation as him."

Li Ziqian clapped his hands and looked down at Wang Yu.

“Wang Yu, your Wang clan of Goryeo, this is the end of the road.”

"From now on, Goryeo will be surnamed Lee, the Lee of Lee Ja-gyeom!"
