Chapter 153 I Am Born to Be a Rebel

In mid-March, King Wuyang arrived at the imperial city with his guards and entered the palace to pay homage to the emperor.

At that time, the morning court had already started for half an hour.

Yan Donghuang sat on the dragon chair, his voice majestic and cold: "Xuan."

Prince Wuyang and his son slowly entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The eyes of the ministers fell on the two of them. When they arrived in front of the palace, King Wuyang did not kneel down, but bowed and saluted, and said respectfully: "I have been guarding the border for two years and have not returned. I don't know that the Yong Kingdom has changed its dynasty. The person I am asking to see today is the former one." Your Majesty, please give me your permission."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell into silence.

The expressions of all civil and military officials in the court changed.

Prime Minister Pei frowned and said in a deep voice: "King Wuyang has been at the border for many years, in order to protect the border, not to decide the ownership of the country. The Supreme Emperor personally passed the throne to His Majesty, which is a recognition of His Majesty's ability. Your Majesty's ascension to the throne is justified. King Wuyang is not qualified to comment."

"The Prime Minister is right." Taifu Qi looked solemn and nodded slowly, "Although King Wuyang is far away from the border, the passing of the throne to the Supreme Emperor is a matter for the whole country. It is justified and announced to the world. King Wuyang cannot be unaware of it. Today is the day when In the civil and military circles of the dynasty, King Wuyang does not distinguish between superior and inferior. It is definitely not the duty of a minister to be disrespectful to His Majesty. I hope King Wuyang understands his identity and will not say anything outrageous. "

"The Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor have misunderstood. I have not questioned whether your Majesty's throne is justified." King Wuyang clasped his fists and bowed, his tone serious, "I just want to see the Supreme Emperor, and I have some things I want to report to the Supreme Emperor in person."

Prime Minister Pei said: "The Emperor no longer cares about government affairs——"

"So what if I go to pay my respects to the Supreme Emperor?" King Wuyang interrupted him and emphasized in an unquestionable tone, then raised his eyes to look at Yan Donghuang, "Your Majesty, I have come all the way here. In order to state the border affairs, secondly, I want to pay my respects to the Supreme Emperor. Thirdly, I have some trivial matters and I want to ask the Supreme Emperor for instructions in person. I hope His Majesty will give me permission."

Yan Zhang stood in the queue, lowering his eyes uneasily. He neither dared to look at Yan Donghuang nor looked at King Wu Yang. He just wanted to pretend that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Yan Wei, Yan Ying and Yan Yu looked at him in unison, their eyes seemed to say: Did the eldest brother ask King Wuyang to support him, or did King Wuyang come here to seek death?

Didn't he know that Yan Donghuang had killed someone recently?

Yan Donghuang sat quietly on the dragon chair.

Looking at King Wuyang's vaguely provocative face, she raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Since King Wuyang misses my father so much, I should fulfill your wish."

"Somebody come!"

Two imperial guards came in from outside: "Your Majesty."

Yan Donghuang's voice was indifferent: "It is inconvenient for King Wuyang to go to the resting place of the Supreme Emperor. You send someone to ask. If the father is in good spirits today, please come to the front hall of Chongming. King Wuyang has something to report to the father. "

"yes."

"Prime Minister Pei, Taifu Qi, Minister of Rites, and... Prince Chen." Yan Donghuang turned his head, his eyes falling on Yan Zhang's face, "Let's go to Chongming Hall to discuss matters."

"Retreat from the court."

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

All the civil and military officials in the court knelt down to send him off respectfully.

King Wuyang was standing alone, but now he had to kneel down to see off His Majesty.

After Yan Donghuang left, Yan Zhang couldn't wait to get up and walked to King Wuyang, with a slightly uneasy look on his face: "Uncle, when you come in front of the father later, you must be careful in your words and deeds. Yan Dong... Your Majesty has been iron-blooded lately. Don’t get on the tiger’s head——”

"Why is the prince afraid of her?" A young man behind King Wuyang said with a bit of contempt, "She is just a female-"

"Shut up." Yan Zhang interrupted him coldly, "Don't be rude to His Majesty."

This young man is Qiu Enze, the son of King Wuyang. He is eighteen years old, a time when he is full of energy and rebellious.

Hearing Yan Zhang's words, he curled his lips in disdain and secretly thought that it was no wonder he couldn't win the throne. Who could trust such a timid prince to give him the country?

King Wuyang said nothing, turned around and walked out of the hall, heading to Chongming Hall with Yan Zhang.

The Supreme Emperor happened to be invited over.

King Wuyang entered the palace and respectfully paid homage to the Emperor: "I see you, Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live my emperor!"

"I am no longer the emperor. King Wuyang should call me the Supreme Emperor." The Supreme Emperor looked calm and said, "Is he so anxious to enter the palace this time because he misses me, the abdicated emperor, or is it an accident that I passed the throne to him before he died? Donghuang?”

King Wuyang quickly apologized: "I dare not question the Supreme Emperor."

The Supreme Emperor said calmly: "Do you still remember the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers?"

King Wuyang lowered his eyes: "I remember."

The Supreme Emperor asked calmly: "When you entered the palace today, did you pay homage to the new emperor?"

King Wuyang's expression changed slightly and he remained silent.

Prime Minister Pei and Taifu Qi stood aside, their expressions slightly condensed.

Only Yan Zhang showed some uneasiness on his face. He wanted to speak several times but didn't know what to say.

Defend King Wuyang?

But King Wuyang's disrespect for the new emperor was obviously intentional. He just refused to accept it, and his defense was meaningless.

But……

"I think the Supreme Emperor's decision to pass the throne to the eldest princess is not in line with the ancestral system." King Wuyang knelt on the ground, his tone was respectful but a bit insistent, "First of all, the eldest princess is a woman, and the princess has no right to inherit the throne; Secondly, Beiliang was ambitious all the year round and raised troops again and again. In the past, it was the Supreme Emperor who led the army in person, and later the eldest princess and her husband were in charge, and they defeated the elite soldiers of Beiliang. "

"If the eldest princess becomes the emperor and the Qingluan army is leaderless, Beiliang will definitely be involved again. If your majesty leads the expedition in person, someone in the court may take the opportunity to cause chaos; if you send others to resist, if you lose to Beiliang, It will increase Beiliang's morale and ambition, please think again."

"Think twice?" The Supreme Emperor leaned on the couch, "You mean, let me take back my life and choose another emperor?"

King Wuyang nodded: "I am indeed——"

"Do you think that being the emperor is child's play?"

"I don't dare."

"As a general guarding the southern border, your worries are unnecessary." The Emperor said in a cold tone, "Donghuang knows what will happen to Beiliang in the future, and there is no need for you to interfere. But since you are here, I have something to tell you. "

"I have asked Feng Yaoguang to lead the troops to attack Nanling. Once Nanling is defeated and the country is destroyed, there will no longer be the need to guard so many soldiers and horses in Southern Xinjiang. Donghuang will make further adjustments to your position -"

"Your Majesty!" King Wuyang interrupted him hastily, and then changed his words: "Your Majesty, I made a mistake."

The Supreme Emperor looked at him coldly.

King Wuyang lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment: "Before I entered the capital, several generals under my command had already arranged their troops. If I don't return within forty days, they may take action."

Take action?

This is obviously a blatant threat.

The Supreme Emperor's face darkened little by little, revealing a shocking anger.

The air in the palace seemed to become thinner in an instant.

Yan Zhang clenched his hands and took a breath.

"Is King Wuyang threatening me?" Yan Donghuang smiled lightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Pei Chenglian hurriedly knelt down, "King Wuyang may not have this intention."

"Your Majesty." Taifu Qi knelt down, "The vassal king and his soldiers guarding the border have not been to the capital for many years. The soldiers only see the commander and not the emperor. This is normal -"

"Master Taifu!" Yan Zhang spoke urgently, "Whether it is the imperial guards in the capital or the soldiers at the border, all of them are loyal to the emperor. How can it be possible to only have the commander in mind and not the emperor?"

King Wuyang lowered his eyes: "Returning to Your Majesty, it's not that I don't see Your Majesty in my eyes. It's just that I will be outside and my military orders will be ignored. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

"It seems that Wu Wangyang is fully prepared." Yan Donghuang's voice was cold, with a ruthless and murderous air, "Unfortunately, I am born with a rebellious nature, and I hate threats from others, especially threats from my ministers."
