Furui came with the imperial guards. After hearing that the emperor had brought people here, Meng Li gave Furui half of the military talismans and asked Furui to mobilize the army.
After stalling for a while, I used my mental power to see that they were almost there, and then I took out the weapon talisman.
The emperor looked back and saw the imperial guards surrounding him, veins twitching on his forehead, and he was shocked in his heart. He didn't expect his mother to make such a big fuss.
He said to Meng Li:
"I'm back, so I won't trouble my mother anymore. Please hand over the military talisman."
Meng Li suddenly looked sad:
"Your Majesty, you are confused. Before the death of the late emperor, he considered that the emperor was still young when he ascended the throne, so he gave the weapon talisman to the Ai family. Therefore, it has always been in the hands of the Ai family. It can only be given to the emperor when the emperor becomes a wise king."
"But now that the emperor is controlled by a concubine and does not care about the government, the Ai family has worked hard and tried to persuade the emperor to no avail. In this situation, how dare the Ai family betray the emperor and betray the trust of the late emperor."
Zhan Yuancheng was confused. This thing was obviously given by him, so how could it be given by the late emperor.
At that time, I was thinking that I would be out for a long time, in case there was any accident in the capital, and I would mobilize the imperial guards to resist, but I didn't expect it to happen like this.
No matter how stupid he is, he understands that the other party is not willing to hand over the military talisman at all.
But now that the thing is in her hand, she can't say whatever she wants.
He felt very regretful, and then heard Meng Li say:
"Someone, bring this ungrateful Concubine Tang to the Ai family."
The imperial guards walked towards Tang Xin. This time it was Tang Xin's turn to hide away from the emperor. Zhan Yuancheng scolded with a gloomy face:
"Let me see who dares to touch Tang Xin today."
Meng Li: "The military talisman is here, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"
Originally, the imperial guards stopped, but after hearing this, they walked towards Tang Xin again. Zhan Yuancheng said angrily:
"I am the Son of Heaven. You should all listen to me. If you don't listen to me, you will be killed without mercy!"
All the Imperial Guards felt so miserable. When gods fight, mortals suffer!
What to do, who to listen to, the Queen Mother now has great power, and she still holds a military talisman in her hand.
Meng Li said:
"Your Majesty, please don't let this enchanting concubine, who brings disaster to the country and people, be deceived. It is a big mistake for her to allow the Emperor to indulge in lust and desolate government, and it is another mistake to not follow the ancestral etiquette. Take her down!"
Meng Li glanced at the imperial guards with cold eyes. The leader of the imperial guards was not a fool. The emperor now ignored the government affairs, and the queen mother made all the decisions inside and outside the court.
This is not a choice to take sides. Now when it comes to having to choose, the Queen Mother is even more powerful. Even if she can't command them, there is someone who can command the Queen Mother.
He winked to the left and right, and walked towards Tang Xin with a firm expression. The servants around Zhan Yuancheng surrounded Tang Xin, and Zhan Yuancheng shouted:
"Are you going to rebel?!"
"If you dare to touch my women today, I will kill all nine of your tribes!"
Meng Li sneered:
"Whoever captures Tang Xin today will be rewarded handsomely."
There must be brave men under heavy rewards. As soon as Meng Li said this, the people who were still a little timid at first relaxed their hands and stopped treating the people around the emperor gently. They were just eunuchs and palace maids. How could they fight against the imperial guards? , Tangxin was captured by the Imperial Guards.
"Your Majesty." Tang Xin lost her usual indifference, and there was a trace of anxiety in her brows.
Zhan Yuancheng looked at the imperial guards in front of him and looked at Tang Xin through the wall of flesh:
"Tang Xin."
Then he looked at the imperial guards and ordered:
"Release him, or I will kill you nine tribes!"
Everyone's expressions remained unchanged. They had already made their choice, so they could no longer be cowards. There would be no good end to being cowards at this time.
Meng Li said:
"Your Majesty, you are tired. Go back to the palace and rest quickly. Concubine Tang, the Ai family will definitely train you well."
Tang Xin looked at Meng Li:
"Queen Mother, why do you arrest me? You don't even listen to the Emperor's words. You are so cruel."
Meng Li said:
"Just because you are so disrespectful to the Ai family."
Tang Xin looked at Zhan Yuancheng:
"Your Majesty, save me, aren't you the Emperor?"
Zhan Yuancheng was stopped by the Imperial Guard and pushed the body of the Imperial Guard in front of him. The body of the Imperial Guard did not move. Zhan Yuancheng kicked the Imperial Guard hard, but his body still did not move.
Zhan Yuancheng was extremely angry:
"Get out of my way, are you going to rebel?"
Meng Li waved his hand and had Tang Xin pressed into his palace. In a side hall of his palace, Tang Xin was locked up.
Zhan Yuancheng was hysterical throughout the whole process. However, he had no weapons in his hands, and the servants around him were controlled by the Imperial Guards. He could only use his feet and hands to hit the Imperial Guards. However, they were not afraid of this pain. Meng Li looked at Zhan Yuancheng :
"The emperor is really obsessed with the demon concubine. It would be best to stay away from the demon concubine's disease."
Zhan Yuancheng looked at Meng Li:
"Why do you treat me like this? Don't you know if I'm sick or not?"
"I shouldn't trust you like that. You are just like the rumors outside. You are greedy for power. You want to take charge of the government, you want to usurp the throne, you are so ambitious, and you are the evil concubine who is bringing disaster to the country! If the late emperor knew that you were such a person, I will drag you to be buried with me!"
"Now I see you harming the Zhan family's century-old foundation, and I feel heartbroken. And these rebellious officials and traitors are working as an accomplice, and you will all die a good death!"
Zhan Yuancheng ignored it and roared at Meng Li hysterically.
The queen was so frightened that she trembled all over after Meng Li. She looked at the emperor with a ferocious face, imageless and yelling like a shrew. His voice was full of anger and helplessness, and his eyes were like eating people.
Meng Li looked at Zhan Yuancheng indifferently, letting Zhan Yuancheng scold him enough, and then said:
"Your Majesty, the Ai family didn't do anything wrong. It was Tang Xin who showed great disrespect to the Ai family. Does it mean that the Ai family doesn't even have this right?"
"The queen has the emperor's child in her belly. Is it wrong for the Ai family to preserve the blood of the Zhan family?"
"The Aijia has never been wrong. It's your fault, Your Majesty!"
"You are acting like a demon now, so wake up."
Zhan Yuancheng retorted:
"The child is mine. If I don't want it, I don't want it. Tang Xin's rights were given to me. Tang Xin is not wrong."
Meng Li only said:
"The emperor is possessed by a demon. He can no longer set an example for the world. The emperor spoils his concubines and kills his wife. He doesn't respect filial piety. Where does he care about human relations? Why does he care about the face of the Ai family?"
"Please, Your Majesty. If Your Majesty is still stubborn and cannot wake up, Concubine Tang's sin will be even more serious."
Zhan Yuancheng stared at Meng Li with bloodshot eyes:
"You threaten me?"
Meng Li folded his hands together and nodded slightly, threatening you.
The dishonest Tang Xin will suffer more.
"Come on, rebel, she's going to rebel!"
"I will also reward you. I will give you a big reward for taking her down. I am the emperor!" Zhan Yuancheng shouted.
Meng Li:
"Your Majesty, no matter who comes today, Tang Xin is also guilty. As the Ai family said, please don't make Concubine Tang's sins worse."
Most of the people in the court were already under her control. A few people who couldn't get used to her actually couldn't get used to the emperor abandoning the government because of Tang Xin.
The few remaining people couldn't jump up and down.
