Below the city tower, at the main gate of Chengtianmen, are unarmed common people.
King Cheng took his staff and soldiers and sat on a tall horse in the back.
A civil servant stood on the carriage and said loudly: "King Cheng cares about the people and is kind and philanthropic. This is the orthodoxy of the royal family. King Cheng is his destiny and the master of the world! Please open the city gate as soon as possible. Welcome the new emperor to the throne!"
Two hundred thousand people followed and shouted in unison.
"Becoming a king is your destiny!"
"Open the city gate! Welcome the new emperor to the throne!"
"Open the city gate! Welcome the new emperor to the throne!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The city gate was hit with a loud bang.
Yunchu stood above him, his eyebrows heavy.
When King Cheng learned that the imperial court had given him porridge as an antidote, he became anxious and put his mind on the bright side.
If this city gate is really knocked open, the capital will be in chaos.
She ordered coldly: "Archers, prepare!"
Hundreds of archers immediately appeared on the wall, drew their bows, and only waited for an order to attack.
Before the bow and arrow were fired, someone from below took the lead in shouting.
"Killing! Killing! The current emperor and the Queen Mother killed people!"
"The current emperor is not worthy of being an emperor because he cares about human life. Only a successful king can be the true dragon and emperor!"
"Emperor Dog, step down immediately!"
"The Dog Emperor doesn't deserve that position!"
“……”
Chu Hongyu was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he said angrily: "Shoot, shoot an arrow!"
Yun Chu made a gesture.
The archers let go one after another, and shot arrows downwards, falling at the feet of everyone without actually hurting anyone's life.
The people who hit the city gate had never seen such a formation before. They were so frightened that they threw down the pillars and ran away...
The civil servants at the rear loudly said: "You are setting your mind for the heaven and the earth, and your destiny for the people... If you want to have a benevolent king, and you want to have a prosperous age, in this world, who else would you rather me?"
As soon as these words came out, the common people seemed to be infused with strength. They turned around again and picked up the big round pillars.
King Cheng couldn't help but nodded and said to the people around him: "Shi'an, you still have a way. You can control two hundred thousand people with the simplest medicine in the world."
Xie Shian smiled.
The most stupid people in this world are the people. He created a plague to cause trouble, and took the opportunity to introduce the Goddess and the nectar, and these stupid people believed it.
Countless people came and voluntarily drank the nectar mixed with medicinal powder, and then used it for their own use.
More than 200,000 people were enough to break through the city gates, pour into the capital, and change the dynasty.
Xie Shi'an raised his head and could see a woman standing on the city wall from a distance. She was wearing dark clothes and couldn't see clearly, but the Queen Mother's crown on her head was made of pure gold and sparkled in the sun.
In the beginning, it was he who hid the witchcraft villain in Prince Gongxi's palace, which caused Prince Gongxi to be defeated and never be able to recover again.
He thought that after the fall of King Gongxi, Yun Chu, who was still Princess Pingxi at that time, would arrange for someone to come to him and let him become a staff member of Prince Pingxi Palace. Even if he could not become a staff member, a bright and smooth path should be arranged for him.
But, no.
Yunchu didn't arrange for anyone to come to him.
He showed his sincerity. He betrayed King Gongxi for her, helped her become the Crown Princess, and then the Queen Mother...
But she had long forgotten that there was once a child who truly called her mother.
He had no choice but to seek refuge with King Cheng and encourage him to rebel. He walked all the way from Ningzhou to the capital and stood on her opposite side.
Although they are opposites, they stand in the same position. At this moment, he and she are equal.
It had been more than three years since she left the Xie family, and he had put in all his efforts and finally waited for this day.
From a distance, Yunchu felt a line of sight.
Even though she was far away, she knew that this person was Xie Shi'an.
She said loudly: "King Cheng, stop hiding behind innocent people and come and talk to us."
Her voice reached the ears of the person in front of her, and the person in front of her heard it, level by level, until it reached King Cheng.
King Cheng turned his head: "Shi'an, should you go?"
"With so many people watching, the court dare not take action. Besides, we also have human shields." Xie Shi'an thought for a moment and then said, "Let's go to the tower."
Thousands of soldiers were surrounding them, and hundreds of children were forming a line in front of them, forming a perfect shield.
"Shameless!" Chu Hongyu clenched his fists, "A beast like this, who cares so little about human life, wants to be an emperor, just a dream!"
"Ha!" King Cheng sat on the horse and said calmly, "It's not that I want to be the emperor, but that these people are trying their best to surround me and sit in that position, and I have no choice but to do so."
"A fool like you deserves this position!" Chu Hongyu said loudly, "Do you know that the reason why you are missing an ear is because the man next to you named Xie Shi'an took your ear in order to please King Gongxi Chu Mo. Surrender! You actually promoted someone who brought you to this point!"
King Cheng was stunned.
His ears were cut off, and after a long investigation, it was finally said that it was Lao Wu who did it.
How come...
"Your Highness, he is sowing discord." Xie Shi'an looked calm, "If I really did such a thing, it would be impossible for me to seek refuge with Your Highness again."
King Cheng thought the same, turned to look at Chu Hongyu, and sneered: "Is this all you have? Use any other means you have."
Chu Hongyu was fuming with anger.
Yun Chu pressed his hand, signaling him to calm down.
She raised her hand and made a gesture, and then Princess Yuan and the Yuan family were all taken to the tower.
"King Cheng, you were bewitched by a traitor. The Ai family does not blame you. You still have a way to turn back now." Yun Chu said quietly, "You let the people leave now, and I will let Princess Yuan and the Yuan family go. Let your family reunite and let you be a free prince. If you insist on coveting things that do not belong to you, then——"
After she said this, she didn't say any more, but everyone present knew what she meant.
"Your Majesty, stop being stubborn!" Mr. Yuan shouted loudly, "Hurry up and tell the Queen Mother that you are wrong and have been deceived. The Queen Mother will definitely give you another chance! Your Majesty, it's time to turn around!"
Other Yuan family members also tried to persuade him.
King Cheng tightened his grip on the reins, his eyes on Princess Yuan.
He saw Princess Yuan shaking her head at him, and he understood that she was asking him to admit his mistake and beg for mercy...
"Your Highness!" Xie Shi'an's voice was very stern, "Your Highness has finally reached the capital and is only one step away from that position. If you give up now, you will become a fish and be slaughtered by others! Your Highness, please think twice!"
A group of staff nearby also advised: "Yes, Your Highness, it is really not easy for us to get to this point. We cannot give up our great cause just because of some personal feelings..."
King Cheng roared angrily: "What kind of personal feelings? That is my mother-in-law, the biological mother who gave birth to me and raised me!"
Xie Shi'an pressed his shoulders: "Your Highness is confused! Do you think that if you surrender now, the Queen Mother will let you go? Is it possible that you still want to live after doing such a heinous thing?"
