There were six people who came in with him. Four of them were knocked down in an instant, and the remaining two were mostly sober.
Shen Yu put an arrow on his bow and aimed at one of them.
"Who the hell are you?!"
It was no wonder that they couldn't recognize Shen Yu. In this life, before entering the palace, Shen Yu's activities were fixed. After entering the palace, there were even fewer people who could see him.
After a while, the two of them realized that something was wrong. They weren't the only ones guarding this place. Although he found an excuse to send the rest of the people away, they shouldn't have made such a big noise without any response.
"You don't deserve to know my name." Shen Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people. He released his fingers, and the arrow flew like a meteor.
The person who spoke covered his chest and fell down.
Shen Yu put an arrow on his bow again and aimed at the remaining man.
The man was scared out of his wits by the scene in front of him. He suddenly knelt down: "Lord, please spare my life! This lowly one was possessed. This lowly one won't dare to do it again. Please spare my life! "
Shen Yu narrowed his eyes, lowered his arm, and aimed at the remaining man again.
The man swallowed his saliva. Cold sweat soaked his clothes, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He kowtowed heavily: "This lowly one is willing to say anything. Please spare my life."
In the silence, the sudden sound of chaotic footsteps was very obvious.
Could it be that their people were here? The man's heart was filled with joy.
When the madams heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, their faces became paler and paler. They didn't know whether the young man who came to save them came alone or with helpers. They also didn't know whether the young man could deal with those people.
"Lord, you have to be careful." The madams recovered from the panic and slowly gathered together.
Everything that happened today had a huge impact on them. They had been kidnapped for such a long time. Even if they were rescued, they would have to face all kinds of problems. At the same time, they also knew that now was not the time to think about these things.
The most important thing now was to get rid of the people here and then escape.
"Wah —"
The child in Madam Zhou's arms suddenly woke up and cried loudly. Madam Zhou hurriedly held the child and coaxed him.
The footsteps were getting closer. Everyone's spirits were high, except for Shen Yu.
From the beginning to the end, the expression on his face didn't change.
Under his influence, the madams also gradually calmed down. They knew that at this time, there was no use in being anxious.
"My lord, the traitors have all been executed."
Amidst the silence, the sound of footsteps approached. It was a group of burly soldiers in armor. The leader of the group knelt down respectfully in front of the young man.
The madams covered their mouths and wept with joy. At this moment, they clearly realized that they had been saved.
The man kneeling on the ground had completely sobered up from his drunkenness. He looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. He thought that the people who came would be on his side. Who would have thought that they were people who followed the young man's orders?
When did such a person appear in the capital? Why didn't he have any recollection of it?
"I'll take you to a safe place." Shen Yu put away his bow and said to the madams who were huddled together.
The soldiers entered in an orderly manner and dragged away the people who were shot by Shen Yu. The only ones who were not injured saw that the situation was over and were taken away without any resistance.
Surrounded by soldiers, the ladies walked out of the nightmarish room.
Outside the room, the moonlight was bright. The moonlight sprinkled down and coated the world with a layer of cold brilliance.
Outside the room, it was quiet. The smell of blood lingered. It was not difficult to guess what kind of fight had happened not long ago. Along the way, they did not encounter any obstacles.
This courtyard was on the edge of the capital. It was not very eye-catching. After going out, they did not enter the capital. Instead, they took another road.
"There are changes in the capital. First, I will put you in another courtyard. Rest assured, there are guards here. There will be no problem." Shen Yu took these women to another courtyard in the suburbs of the capital. Few people knew about this place, so it would not be affected by the turmoil in the capital. When the matter was over, he would send them back.
As for those men who tried to offend them, Shen Yu would ensure that they would never tell this secret.
"Madams, please have a good rest. It will be over soon. Today's matter will not be known by anyone."
When he went to rescue them, Shen Yu felt that something was wrong. He let the others stay outside to deal with the enemy. He went to the place where the madams were held. Things were as he expected.
He did not say anything and directly shot five of them. At the same time, he was glad that he came in time. If something really happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After dealing with this matter, he let the others come over. These soldiers were part of the imperial guards and part of them were the Hidden Dragon Guards. Shang Junlin needed to go to the palace to deal with more important matters. Thus, he left this place to him.
Shen Yu still had other things to do. After giving instructions to the people in the courtyard, he left.
Their tense minds relaxed. However, the madams did not feel sleepy. After this matter, everyone became closer.
"I wonder who saved us. After this matter, we must pay a visit to thank him." One of the madams said.
They were all young women. Some of them were the daughters-in-law of the officials. They had not attended the palace banquet before. Thus, they did not know Shen Yu.
Of course, there were some who recognized him. Madam Zhou was one of them. At that time, the situation was too chaotic. She did not recognize Shen Yu immediately. After she recognized him, she saw the soldiers calling him Lord. Thus, she did not say it out loud.
Her gaze swept across the faces of everyone present. Obviously, she was not the only one who recognized him.
They tacitly did not say it out loud. They only remembered this kindness in their hearts.
Shen Yu sent a letter to the families of these women to inform them that they were safe.
"Now, let's go to the palace." Shen Yu rode on the horse and said.
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin guessed that these people would eventually go to the palace. In fact, the people from Ying Huo who stayed in the capital sent a message to Shen Yu.
The palace was brightly lit, but this time was different from the previous times. The movements of the palace servants were restricted, and those who disobeyed or tried to escape were killed directly. The guards guarding the palace were facing the invading enemies, and were forced to retreat step by step.
No coup could avoid bloodshed.
The palace had no master. The enemy's morale was high. They quickly occupied the place that symbolized the peak of power in Da Huan.
Shang Junyi was welcomed into the palace.
The smell of blood filled his nose. The corpses that were not dealt with in time were piled up on the roadside. If it were any other time, Shang Junyi might be afraid. However, at this moment, he was only excited.
After today, he would become the new master of Da Huan! This palace would belong to him from now on!
Beauties, wealth, power, they would all be at his fingertips.
Shang Junyi was worried that a long delay would lead to trouble. After receiving the imperial edict, he ordered the imperial guards to escort the ministers to the palace. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the ministers were blindfolded along the way.
When the blindfold was removed, the ministers found themselves in the main hall where they usually attended court.
They saw Lord Duan and other officials standing in front of them. They saw the seventeenth prince standing beside Lord Duan. They also saw someone who should not be here — His Highness King An.
The hearts of the ministers sank.
"Is the seventeenth prince determined to rebel?" Lord Zhou sneered.
"Don't say it so harshly." Shang Junyi raised his hand. "Why don't you take a look at what this is?"
A young eunuch came forward with a brocade box. Under Shang Junyi's command, he opened the box and took out the imperial edict.
"Read."
The young eunuch read the contents of the edict loudly.
"An imperial edict to pass on the throne?!"
"What did you do to His Majesty?!"
"You bastard! Hand over His Majesty!"
No one thought that the imperial edict was left behind by the previous emperor. Their first reaction was that His Majesty had fallen into the hands of these people and was forced to write an imperial edict.
"This is not left behind by Shang Junlin. This is an imperial edict left behind by my father. Even Shang Junlin has to listen to my father's orders, right?" Shang Junyi looked at the ministers below him. He could not hide his excitement.
He also did not expect such an imperial edict to exist. Lord Duan told him that this imperial edict had been kept by King An until today. Previously, Shang Junlin was too powerful for them to do anything. Now was the best opportunity.
What opportunity? Of course, it was the opportunity to take back what was rightfully his!
Shang Junyi, who was overwhelmed with joy, did not think too deeply about the details. He did not care about these things. No matter what kind of conspiracy there was, once he ascended the throne, he could promote his own people and develop his own power, just like Shang Junlin. He was the emperor and everyone should be loyal to him. In the end, he would be the one in power!
"May I know why His Highness King An is here?" The Prime Minister broke the silence.
"Royal Uncle is in charge of the imperial edict. Royal Uncle has always been close to my father. You should believe his words, right?"
It was no secret that King An and the previous emperor were close. Even when the previous emperor was at his sickest, King An could enter and leave the palace as he pleased. From this, it could be seen that the previous emperor did not guard against him.
Seeing the suspicion in their eyes, Shang Junyi ordered a young eunuch to bring the imperial edict to them to verify its authenticity.
The ministers touched the edict and put down their hands. Their eyes were filled with complex emotions. "The imperial edict is real."
Other than the imperial jade seal, there was also the previous emperor's personal seal on the imperial edict. These two things could not be faked.
But, even if it was real, so what? They only recognized Shang Junlin's identity as the emperor.
"The Seventeenth Prince is not from the main palace. Even if there is an imperial edict, we will not agree."
"His Majesty's whereabouts are unknown. We should protect the Great Huan Dynasty for his Majesty and prevent it from being taken away by some rascal."
"Exactly!"
Shang Junyi was dumbfounded. He never thought that the outcome would be like this. He thought that after seeing the imperial edict, the ministers would have to accept it no matter how unwilling they were. He had already thought about it. When he ascended the throne, he would replace these stubborn ministers.
He turned his head to look at Prince An, only to see that the Prince was still as calm as ever.
King An was not surprised by this. If the imperial edict could turn the situation around, he would not have waited so long and planned so much before taking it out. Only Shang Junyi would naively think that this imperial edict would be of great use.
Of course, it was not completely useless. It was just that after the deed was done, everything they did would be justified. It would be convenient to shut the mouths of the people. It was impossible to use this imperial edict to make the ministers who were loyal to Shang Junlin bow their heads.
King An was well aware of this, but he did not tell Shang Junyi. He originally thought that Shang Junyi would be able to think of this, but he had overestimated him. After all, how much political awareness could a prince who was not favored since young have?
If it was not for the fact that this was the only one that could be used, King An would not have pushed an idiot into the throne. However, it was fine as long as the puppet was obedient.
The ministers looked righteous. Shang Junyi was furious. "What if Shang Junlin is no longer around? Are you going to respect a dead man as your leader?"
King An's men had told him that Shang Junlin was doomed this time. It was impossible for him to return in one piece.
"The current emperor of the Great Huan Dynasty is His Majesty. No matter what secrets are behind this imperial edict, we will only recognize His Majesty. The new emperor can only be appointed by His Majesty!"
The ministers were unmoved. Although they had only known Shang Junyi for a short while, they could feel the difference between Shang Junyi and His Majesty. The Great Huan Dynasty could not be handed over to such a person!
"Fine, fine. Since you want to die, don't blame me for being merciless!" Shang Junyi could feel the unspoken meaning of these people. He was furious. "Men — —"
"Clap — — Clap — — Clap — —"
In the tense atmosphere, a sudden clap attracted everyone's attention. They could not help but look in the direction of the sound.
They saw a tall man in black standing at the entrance of the hall. He looked into the hall with interest.
