The voices of the courtiers reverberated in the grand hall.
From their tone, one could tell that they were furious at this moment.
Unfortunately, no matter how they shouted, Dai Hongwen remained standing at the same spot without any movement.
"I know, Dai Hongwen, you're in cahoots with them! You're plotting a rebellion! "
"Dai Hongwen, His Majesty has made you the instructor of the Imperial Guards. Are you still not satisfied?"
"His Majesty is only away for a few days and will be back soon. Do you know what kind of punishment you'll face when His Majesty returns? "
"Dai Hongwen, if you know what's good for you, take action now and execute all of them! We can pretend that this never happened. When His Majesty returns, we won't say anything bad about you in front of His Majesty! "
…
The ministers of the imperial court spoke one after another. Their goal was simple. They wanted Dai Hongwen to take action and capture Lv Yuanxiao and the rest!
However, Dai Hongwen shrugged helplessly and said, "Everyone, I'm really sorry. I'm useless and can't stop them! "
"What? What did you say? "
"What a joke. There are 100,000 Imperial Guards in the palace. One spit from each of them can drown them. Moreover, we've already sent out orders last night to move our troops to the capital city. Adding up to 150,000 men, you're saying that you can't stop them? "
"Enough! We know! Dai Hongwen, you're a traitor! "
"All traitors deserve to die!"
…
"Silence!"
All of a sudden, a cold shout came from within the hall.
The voice was loud and clear like rolling thunder. It reverberated in the grand hall and hurt everyone's eardrums.
Under such a voice, the entire place actually quietened down.
Everyone looked at Lv Yuanxiao, who was already sitting on the Dragon Throne.
"Lv Yuanxiao, as a fugitive, not only did you refuse to admit to your crimes, you even tried to usurp the throne! Do you know your crimes? "
"When His Majesty returns, he'll teach you a lesson!"
…
Lv Yuanxiao's expression was surprisingly calm in the face of the crowd's accusations. He said calmly, "Lv Yuanlong is dead."
The crowd erupted in an uproar!
"What? His Majesty is dead? "
"How is this possible? His Majesty is powerful and resourceful. How could he die? "
"Liar! It must be a lie! "
After hearing Lv Yuanxiao announce Lv Yuanlong's death, all the officials revealed pained expressions.
It had to be said that these people were really loyal to Lv Yuanlong.
However, this was understandable!
After Lv Yuanlong ascended the throne, he carried out a major change in the imperial court. He brutally killed all the ministers who opposed him.
During this period, he also actively recruited other talented people from outside.
It could be said that almost everyone in the imperial court was very loyal to Lv Yuanlong.
Of course, there was no lack of people like Dai Hongwen who only knew how to be loyal to their master and wouldn't care about anything else.
After learning of Lv Yuanlong's death, these so-called loyal officials were naturally unwilling to believe it.
Some of them were afraid of Lv Yuanlong's death. They had relied on their relationship with Lv Yuanlong to reach their current status, but now they would instantly turn into bubbles and disappear without a trace.
Of course, there were also people who were truly loyal to their master and didn't believe the fact that Lv Yuanlong was dead.
"Whether you want to believe it or not, Lv Yuanlong is already dead!"
Lv Yuanxiao replied forcefully, "Not only him, but all the people who were close to him, who you said went out with Lv Yuanlong, are also dead!"
This news was like a heavy bomb that directly exploded at the scene, causing everyone's eyes to become strange.
Not only the officials, but even the representatives of the major forces who came with them, as well as the princes who survived Lv Yuanlong's butcher knife, had ugly expressions on their faces.
"Impossible! It's impossible! "
"Absolutely impossible! What ability do you have to kill His Majesty and those people? "
Hearing this question, the corners of Qin Yi's mouth suddenly curled up, and then he said, "I killed Lv Yuanlong, but we didn't do anything to those people."
"What do you mean by that?"
"What I mean is actually very simple. Your Majesty, His Majesty, is a demonic creature."
Qin Yi's tone was very calm as he once again threw out this heavy news. "In order to make himself stronger, he also demonized some of the officials. As long as he is dead, all those who were demonized by him will not be able to escape. All of them will die. "
"Bullsh * t! How could His Majesty do such a thing? "
"That's right, you must be slandering us!"
"Have you gone crazy thinking about usurping the throne? Kid, who do you think you are? Do you think we will believe you just because you say a few words casually? "
…
Qin Yi smiled faintly as he looked at these people who were unable to restrain their anger and looked like they wanted to skin him alive. He shrugged and said, "What I said is the truth. Whether you believe it or not, it's up to you. I have no evidence to prove anything, and I don't want to find evidence to prove anything. Anyway, whether you believe it or not, they won't be coming back. "
"That's right!"
Lv Yuanxiao continued Qin Yi's words and continued, "Whether you believe it or not, the era that belonged to Lv Yuanlong is over. A country cannot be without a ruler for a single day! Now, I, Lv Yuanxiao, will inherit the throne and govern Jade Willow Country! "
These words were very domineering and did not leave any room for negotiation. However, it could be seen that Lv Yuanxiao's attitude was indeed very firm.
After hearing the first part of the speech, some of the officials had already calmed down. After all, they were not Lv Yuanlong's trusted aides, and their loyalty was only to the imperial court. Now that they heard the news of Lv Yuanlong's death, they knew that there was no need to continue arguing.
However, only a small portion of them had calmed down. The other portion was still clamoring. They did not believe the fact that Lv Yuanlong was already dead!
"Lv Yuanxiao, you are just a prisoner who escaped from the imperial prison! What right do you have to sit on the throne of His Majesty? "
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man standing at the front of the group of officials. From his position, one could tell that he had a high status in the imperial court.
Now that everyone was silent, he did not hesitate to start a verbal attack on Lv Yuanxiao!
