Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 583.1: Where My Lord Points Is Where One Will Face

Where My Lord Points Is Where One Will Face (1)

The imperial decree right now just represented Le Cheng Emperor’s power and authority. Li Hong Yuan stepping on it like this, without a doubt, was just degrading and looking down on his authority. It was a challenge and insult towards his supreme power. This, for Le Cheng Emperor, was practically even more intolerable, and even more infuriating, than previously when getting openly and covertly threatened by Kang Qinwang and Rui Qinwang.

“Li Hong Yuan———” He roared, angered to the extreme.

“No need to be that loud, this prince isn’t deaf.” Li Hong Yuan very irreverently responded, “Some words, just save it, long tired of hearing. Even if you curse, you’re unable to come up with anything new, and also those accusations, don’t bother pinning on this prince’s head, standing here is already the best proof, what illegitimately conferred and whatnot, heh.” He nonchalantly laughed, “In the past, I never had reputation taken seriously, and in the future, I further won’t have it taken seriously. The things I want, I will definitely obtain. Whether you give or not, it doesn’t matter. Whoever has the ability to have me kicked down, feel free to come. If you succeed, I’ll even praise you for your abilities.”

It’s also because of this completely indifferent attitude of his, he instead appeared impervious to all, unable to do anything about him.

Seeing that Le Cheng Emperor seemingly was about to be angered to death, Li Hong Yuan’s gaze slightly shifted, landing on Li Hong Ming, “Ghost child? The high ministers of the court are still in the main hall. Why don’t we just go over right now and lay out everything, and nicely talk it out, see whether or not they will try to obstruct at all cost.”

With that said, Li Hong Yuan flung his sleeve, and just went out.

As for the rest, including Le Cheng Emperor, all got herded out towards the main hall.

Refuse to move? He Shi Hai was a complete killer, already killing a high minister of the imperial court for Li Hong Yuan. He really doesn’t mind killing a few more. Aside from Le Cheng Emperor, there really wasn’t anyone that he didn’t dare to touch. Alright, even if it’s Le Cheng Emperor, to put it bluntly, it wasn’t that he didn’t dare. Just, he was ultimately Li Hong Yuan’s old man, so seemingly it wasn’t too good for him to do it.

That’s why, when He Shi Hai giddily waved the blade around Rui Qinwang’s arms and legs, as well as his neck, no one dared to hesitate.

Staggering along, very few were able to remain composed, not losing their bearing.

Le Cheng Emperor, the Empress, and Noble Consort Su further needed to be supported, their shoulders drooping as they faltered, gradually aging. This seemingly was also a foretelling of their fate.

Inside Qian Chen Hall’s main hall, it was also extremely quiet at this very moment. Even though the Imperial Guards didn’t come in, the place was still heavily guarded. Even if unable to know the situation next door, they more or less could also guess a little, especially after the two Commander-in-Chief both left midway, having yet to return.

Those that wanted to go out all got blocked back. As they fretfully waited, the people at the doorway parted like the tides. The people inside the hall got up, and afterwards, they saw Jin Qinwang enter in large strides. Many people inwardly inhaled a breath of cold air, their legs uncontrollably trembling. Setting aside exactly when he returned, just looking at that stance, it just made one have a bad premonition.

Sure enough, shortly after, the others entered one after another. Regardless how high-spirited or graceful they were before, at this time, if not dejected, then it was just full of resentment and indignation.

For a moment, it was dead silent. The sound of a falling needle could be heard.

Li Hong Yuan stood in the middle, gazing up at the throne, but he ultimately didn’t directly go up. It wasn’t because he still had a bit of misgivings, but rather, he very much disdained that seat.

A moment later, he spun around, smiling yet not smiling, seemingly having everyone all swept through, “Everyone afraid still don’t know what happened. No worries. Yu Zhong Qing, first have everything you know explained. Then, He Shi Hai, have the situation outside the palace nicely recounted.”

TN: All

Yu Zhong Qing responded, starting from when Rui Qinwang recruited him, to afterwards, when Kang Qinwang came looking. Then, it was just Rui Qinwang letting him cooperate with Kang Qinwang, using his plan against him, taking down Kang Qinwang, letting him legitimately ascend the throne. Afterwards, it was just everything that happened in the side hall just now, narrating systematically in full detail, not carrying any personal feelings.

Once he finished speaking, He Shi Hai stood out, having Shen Shu Han’s crushing defeat narrated in great length.

It was obvious, these two’s standing were both very clear. Yu Zhong Qing was just alone without a family, so it was still easy to handle, but He Shi Hai’s standing, in this moment, just represented the He family’s standing, unless the people of the He family immediately stand out and sever relations with He Shi Hai. Unfortunately, his father, mother, and grandmother were all present, yet no one stood out. Then, that was just tacitly approving He Shi Hai’s actions. And the He family’s standing was just the Northeast Army’s standing.

That imperial decree that still had Li Hong Yuan’s footprint also got brought over, tossing onto the ground in front Li Hong Yuan.

“Li Hong Ming said, he is the heir apparent conferred by imperial father under an imperial decree, the legitimate heir. Everyone, what do you say, this imperial decree, do you all acknowledge or not?” Li Hong Yuan still had that lazy tone, but the people hearing, not a single one felt relaxed.

“This emperor acknowledges.” The others still haven’t even opened their mouth, yet Le Cheng Emperor just coldly spoke first.Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

Quite a few people inhaled a breath of cold air. Judging from the living Enma’s behavior, that was simply not having anyone taken seriously. Your Majesty, are you worried that your son won’t die fast enough?

As for Rui Qinwang, he was first excited, but afterwards, he also couldn’t help but feel his blood run cold.

“You bastard, this emperor will tell you, the throne, no matter who this emperor gives it to, it all won’t be given to you. If you want to sit onto that position, this emperor firmly refuse to acknowledge and refuse to approve. If you have the ability, just have everyone here all killed.”

“Imperial father’s bones sure have become hard, but what I said previously in the side hall, did you not hear clearly? To put in bluntly, so what if all killed? In the entirety of Qi Yuan, there’s over millions of people. Just this bit right now, what does it count as? And don’t talk to me about some killing sin, karmic debt, and how violates the heavens and whatnot. Even if all the people in the world all die off, it all won’t make me bat an eye, understand?” Speaking to here, Li Hong Yuan even smiled, still peerlessly elegant.

However, even those that were loyal to him, upon hearing, all felt endless chills.

And no one suspected the truthfulness of his words.

Even though they were long aware that Jin Qinwang’s temper wasn’t good, ruthless, and indefinitely moody, yet never thought that he was actually cold-blooded to this degree. To say he was devoid of humanity all wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

This kind of person, what is there that can tether him, and restrict him? Blood relations, filial piety, and righteousness, for him, were all useless. He didn’t fear anyone, or their evaluation towards him.

“You bastard, to have such a nature, who would serve you? Becoming all alone in the world, what can you accomplish?” Le Cheng Emperor’s voice was both cold and resentful.

“This subject pledges one’s life to serve wangye, becoming the sharp blade in wangye’s hand. Where my lord points is where one will face.” As a fanboy, He Shi Hai, without a second word, immediately just knelt down on one knee, expressing his loyalty. Looking at that attitude, it was truly hating that he can’t offer his life in sacrifice, not hesitating to kill off all the people in the world for Li Hong Yuan.

Le Cheng Emperor’s words of discord didn’t have the slightest effect, getting ruthlessly torn down by He Shi Hai.

Afterwards, among the officials, some also looked towards He Zhen Wei, inwardly thinking, this old thing was a brute military simpleton, his son also a rascal, yet never thought that this skill in flattery was actually first class.

“This subject is willing to serve wangye. Where my lord points is where one will face.” Yu Zhong Qing was the second one to straightforwardly declare his position.

“This subject is willing to serve wangye. Where my lord points is where one will face.” Qin Tian Ming led in a squad of people. The sound of the armor was very resounding.

“The Northeast Army is willing to serve wangye. Where my lord points is where one will face.” He Zhen Wei also walked out from his seat at this time, kneeling before Li Hong Yuan.

If Le Cheng Emperor previously still held a bit of hope, wanting to use the court officials to suppress Li Hong Yuan, then this while, he just felt his mind buzzing, staggeringly retreating several steps. If not for still being supported by someone, he probably would’ve already fell onto the ground. Whether the civil officials expressed their stance or not actually already wasn’t important. With just these people right now, the entire capital, as well as large stretches of the surrounding territories, were all completely controlled in his hand. If he really wanted to a blood purge, the others were also nothing more than just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Li Hong Yuan looked to Le Cheng Emperor with a vague smile. Just as he’d said, what he wanted simply wasn’t the problem of whether or not others will give.

“You can’t, you can’t, you can’t be the emperor. You’re a ghost child, a ghost child. You will bring misfortune to Qi Yuan…………” Le Cheng Emperor seemingly was still holding his last breath, still opposing.

The ones that knew of this matter were just a few after all. Le Cheng Emperor revealing it here in front of everyone, didn’t it precisely cause another disturbance.

However, the actual influences also wasn’t as impactful as imagined. After all, from his mouth, he’d already said that he didn’t care if all the people in the world all died off. If truly unable to go as he wish, then he will certainly stir up a bloody storm, so how will it just be whether or not he will bring misfortune, that simple.

Li Hong Yuan this while was too lazy to even say anything. It was quite boring. His gaze instead landed on Li Hong Ming, “Li Hong Ming, right now, you’re probably still thinking of how to escape, right? You having such confidence in rebelling, is it because Former Wei has assembled the troops, preparing to advance towards Qi Yuan? In your involvement with Former Wei, how much benefit have you promised them? Should be at least three commanderies, right?”

Once the words came out, everyone all simultaneously looked towards Rui Qinwang. One has to know, Qi Yuan and Former Wei were mortal enemies. Even the peace talk faction, when facing the problem of Former Wei, would also refuse to back down. Colluding with Former Wei, that was absolutely something that can’t be tolerated!

Li Hong Ming just felt as if he was about to get cut to death by stares. Even in the middle of winter, the clothes on his back all got rapidly drenched in sweat, “Li Hong Yuan, you, you’re spouting nonsense, this is slander.”

Li Hong Yuan lightly sneered, shifting his line of sight, landing on the Head Minister of Rites, Sir Su, “As a member of Former Wei’s imperial family, to have come to Qi Yuan to climb the ladder, it must have been hard on you.”

This Head Minister of Rites was originally very calm. Even if Rui Qinwang fails, he still believed that the other party won’t have him exposed, because whether or not he can turn the situation around again, still needed to depend on him. Yet, he never thought that his origins have already gotten exposed. However, relying on his strong self-control, he didn’t display any emotions that he shouldn’t have, first blanking, and shortly after, appeared both terrified and wronged, “Wangye, these words, this subject, this subject…….”

“You also don’t need to bother with acting. In front of this prince, things that are already determined never need evidence.”

“Jin Qinwang, I have evidence to prove that Rui Qinwang has colluded with Former Wei, betraying the country.” Rui Wangfei took the opportunity, unhesitantly standing out. Moreover, she didn’t drag her feet in the slightest, directly kneeling before Li Hong Yuan. Originally, as Li Hong Yuan’s older sister-in-law, she didn’t need to do this. Doing this can only mean that she already had Li Hong Yuan treated as the ruler.
