The princes followed the sound and looked towards the slowly opening palace door, focusing on the leader Chu Yuntian.
Chu Yuntian, who was dressed in a dragon robe, had a cold expression and steady steps, slowly walked out of the palace gate, holding his head high, and showing power without being angry.
Behind him, Lin Ruo'er and Yao Jiaxuan stood side by side, protecting Lao Chentou who was holding Pu Ruozhi. Their faces were also expressionless, but their eyes were full of endless anger, and they glanced at the princes sharply.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!"
When the soldiers of the Left Camp guarding the gate saw Chu Yuntian approaching, they immediately stepped forward and bowed their hands in salute.
Chu Yuntian nodded slightly, but did not answer. Instead, he stopped in front of the princes, swept them one by one, and shouted coldly: "You have gathered at the Meridian Gate without an order and roared wantonly. What kind of behavior are you doing? Could it be that you want to rebel?"
"Huh, I'm afraid it's not us who are going to rebel, but you, the Crown Prince!"
Qi Shengwu took a step forward at this moment, his eyes were sharp, and he snorted: "Your Majesty is in danger. As a prince and a crown prince, your Majesty did not help your Majesty solve your problems and rescue you. Instead, you led the army to occupy the palace, proclaimed yourself the king, and imprisoned the concubines."
, what do you want to do to stop the princes?"
"Isn't it clear enough before what I want to do?"
Chu Yuntian smiled coldly, as if he had expected this situation a long time ago, and was not afraid at all. He said sternly: "My father is fatuous. As the leader of a country, for his own selfish desires, he has an affair with the demon monks in the Western Regions and practices evil arts.
The prince, Chu Changtian, brutalized the people of Cangyun and slaughtered more than 600,000 living beings in Cangyun..."
"As a son of a human being, I should be filial to correct my father's mistakes; as a crown prince, I should be loyal to correct the emperor's mistakes; as a member of the royal family, I should protect the inheritance of my ancestors; why not?"
As soon as these words came out, all the gentlemen changed their expressions. You looked at me, I looked at you, all of them looked horrified.
If they had doubts before, now that Chu Yuntian told them in person, their doubts were instantly dispelled.
Chu Xiaoao has been there for hundreds of years, and they know very well how many people have been silently thinking about that chair in their hearts; and they know even more clearly how many people have lost their lives and wiped out their clans because of that chair.
Although everyone in the court could see that as Chu Xiaoao reigned longer and longer, the drama of the nine sons competing for the throne became more and more intense, and any prince could not wait to compete for the throne; but Chu Yuntian, absolutely
He is the most exceptional one among many princes.
As the second prince, Chu Yuntian has the lowest status among all the princes, and is the person least likely to inherit the throne in everyone's mind. But now he has become the first heir to the throne. Under this situation, he will definitely cherish him more than any other prince.
Fei Yi, all walking with difficulty, did not dare to act beyond their authority in the slightest, and left no words to say.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Chu Yuntian to deliberately frame the Emperor of Chu and seek power to usurp the throne without any basis or evidence; that would be too unwise for him!
But in this way, Emperor Chu really indulged the eldest prince, harmed Cangyun, and massacred Qingyun all over the city...
How can such a foolish king still make them loyal?
For a moment, all the princes fell silent, no one dared to speak anymore, and they all lowered their heads tacitly.
"Hmph...it's full of nonsense!"
Qi Shengwu noticed the changes in the officials, and immediately shouted coldly: "Your Majesty and the eldest prince have lived in the imperial capital all year round, and have never taken a step out. How can they do such an outrageous thing?"
"His Highness the Crown Prince's empty words are not enough to convince us. May I ask Your Highness, do you have any evidence?"
"You bastard! As the crown prince and the current crown prince, I already own the throne, so why should I usurp it?"
Hearing this, Chu Yuntian frowned, interrupted directly, and said angrily: "Qi Shengwu, I think you are a descendant of the royal family, so I won't argue with you today. Get out of the way quickly. I have important matters to deal with, otherwise
..."
"You want evidence?"
Before Chu Yuntian could finish speaking, Lao Chentou behind him suddenly walked up with Pu Ruozhi in his arms. His wrinkled face was full of grief and anger, and his eyes were coldly swept towards the princes, and finally fell on Qi Shengwu.
"Yes...yes...you, do you have evidence?"
Seeing this scene, Qi Shengwu felt inexplicably flustered, subconsciously took two steps back, and even his voice stuttered.
During this period of time, he also knew something about Ye Wushuang, especially what Ye Wushuang did before leaving the imperial capital. He knew very well that Ye Wushuang had previously taken in an old slave of a Beginning Realm warrior.
Although he has never seen it before, based on the servant's description, he can recognize the identity of Old Chentou at this moment.
And he is now only a warrior in the early stage of Tian Chong Realm. When facing a warrior in the Beginning Realm, he will inevitably feel fear.
"have!"
Lao Chentou had an expressionless face and sharp eyes. He stared at Qi Shengwu closely. He stretched out his arms slightly, handed Pu Ruozhi forward in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "This is the evidence!"
Um?
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned and looked at Pu Ruozhi in Old Chen's arms in confusion, not knowing why.
Even Qi Shengwu was at a loss. He glanced at Pu Ruozhi, who was unkempt and had his eyes closed, and then looked at Old Chen, with a confused look on his face.
What's the meaning?
Use a dead person as evidence?
"Zhang Zaifu, Li Yushi, Liu Taifu... you are the elders of the two dynasties. You have high positions and are the most convincing. Please step forward and take a closer look at who this person is!"
As if he noticed everyone's doubts, Old Chen looked directly past Qi Shengwu, towards the crowd of princes, and spoke directly.
Although the words were plain, everyone present felt an inexplicable sadness and pain from the tone.
Qi Shengwu hesitated to speak. Feeling the vague aura of terror emanating from Old Chentou, he finally did not dare to say more and turned to look at the princes behind him.
The crowd was in a commotion, and the veterans who were named hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped out, slowly approached, and took a closer look.
But soon, the expressions of these people suddenly changed and their whole bodies trembled slightly.
It was a face that was engraved in their hearts and bones, so familiar!
"Honored...Honored One!"
"Master Pu!"
Several veterans' eyes turned red instantly and tears flowed down their cheeks.
They all worked with or followed Pu Ruozhi back then; some of them even came from Cangyun College.
Although they are old now, although their eyesight is dim, although they have not seen each other for a hundred years, and although Pu Ruozhi is unkempt and his face is covered with dirt, they can take a closer look and recognize this familiar face instantly with just one glance.
A hundred years apart, still the same!
"Your Majesty!"
"Master Pu, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"
"Who is so bold? Who actually hurt the Venerable like this?"
In an instant, several senior officials from the two dynasties, including a few people and tens of thousands of people, all holding their heads together, crying and shouting angrily.
Hundreds of years ago, Pu Ruozhi suddenly disappeared, which has made them worried to this day. Although they rarely mentioned it on weekdays, from the beginning to the end, no one dared to forget it.
Everyone in the world knows that Emperor Chu Yu, the ancestor of Cangyun, still remembers that the person who truly brought peace to the people of the Eastern Wilderness and found protection for the people of Cangyun was actually not Chu Yu, but Pu Ruozhi.
Lord Black and White, Pu Ruozhi!
That is the pillar in their hearts, the belief in their hearts, the god who pacifies the Eastern Wasteland and creates thousands of years of peace for the people of Cangyun!
Time flies by, and hundreds of years pass by in the blink of an eye; as each veteran hero passes away, everyone thinks there is no hope of seeing this hero again in this life, but they did not expect that they would actually see him today.
However, as the hero dies, no one would have thought that the god who single-handedly frightened the countries in Zhongzhou and protected the hundreds of millions of people in Cangyun would now look like this!
Several old ministers were in grief, and the surrounding princes were also stunned. They were in an uproar and all shed tears.
They are all newcomers who have risen to power in the court in the past hundred years. Naturally, they don't know Pu Ruozhi, and they don't have much affection for Pu Ruozhi. However, in each of their hearts, they have a deep affection for this old man who has almost devoted his life to the Cangyun Empire.
Respect from the bottom of my heart and worship from the bottom of my heart.
Qi Shengwu was completely stunned and confused.
Originally, he just thought that Chu Yuntian had no evidence and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack. However, he did not expect that the other party actually brought out the black and white Venerable Pu Ruozhi.
In the entire Cangyun Empire, except for the founder of the country, Emperor Chu Yu, who else can compare with Venerable Pu Ruozhi in terms of reputation and popular support?
But even so, he was still unwilling to give in. His eyes rolled, and after several changes in his face, he seemed to have made some kind of determination. He gritted his teeth and stepped forward suddenly.
"Huh, what we want is evidence of His Majesty's crime. Why did you bring out Lord Pu?"
Qi Shengwu shouted harshly, trying to grasp the last straw.
He has already taken this step. If he cannot control public opinion and overthrow Chu Yuntian today, he will definitely be doomed!
"Although Venerable Pu is respected by others, he seems to have nothing to do with today's events, right?"
"My master, this is the evidence!"
Lao Chentou slowly raised his head, glanced at Qi Shengwu coldly, and finally looked at the old ministers kneeling in front of him, and said word by word: "For hundreds of years, my master Pu Ruozhi, Venerable Pu, has been praised by Chu Xiaoao.
That foolish king is imprisoned in the palace and tortured day and night! Based on this alone, do you still think that Chu Xiaoao is qualified to be the Emperor of Chu and the king of a country in the Cangyun Empire?"
What?
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding people were in an uproar!
Although Old Chentou's words did not prove Chu Yuntian's previous statement, they brought a more terrifying, painful, and difficult-to-accept fact to everyone.
The Emperor of Chu imprisoned Master Pu?
The Emperor of Chu tortured Venerable Pu for hundreds of years?
All the princes were stunned for a moment, and they were all dumbfounded.
Who is Pu Ruozhi?
That is the founding father of the Cangyun Empire and the patron saint of the entire Eastern Wasteland!
Even the Emperor Chu Yu at that time would bow down and be polite in front of him; but as a junior, Chu Xiaoao actually killed him and waved his butcher knife.
This is simply evil, disrespectful, and worse than an animal!
You know, without Pu Ruozhi, where would the Cangyun Empire be today, and where would the Chu royal family be today?
The princes' hearts suddenly became cold and they began to criticize and curse Chu Xiaoao.
"What nonsense!"
At this moment, Qi Shengwu felt that all the blood in his body had stagnated, and his hands and feet were cold, but he still strongly denied it and retorted sternly: "Since your Majesty succeeded to the throne, you have been so ambitious and strategic that you are a wise king second only to Emperor Chu Yu. How could you do this?"
Waiting for something to come?"
"You are slandering, yes, it is slander! Venerable Pu has disappeared for hundreds of years. Who knows what happened in these years? Maybe he has been colluding with you for a long time, and is in harmony with you..."
Snap...
Before Qi Shengwu could finish his words, Lin Ruoer's pretty figure flashed and she slapped Qi Shengwu so hard that Qi Shengwu stumbled backwards with stars in his eyes.
"Who do you think you are, worthy of throwing dirty water on Master Pu?"
Lin Ruo'er's pretty face turned frosty at this moment, and she scolded sternly.
"you..."
Qi Shengwu suddenly became angry. As the uncle of the current dynasty and the third elder of the Qi family, one of the four major families, he was slapped in the face and scolded by a little girl in public, which made him feel humiliated.
He covered his cheek and didn't bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. The power of Tian Chong Realm roared out and he was ready to take action.
Whoa...
At this moment, a sharp sword flashing with cold light was instantly placed on his neck.
Lin Ruoer directly pulled out the dragon scale sword and said in a cold voice: "If you dare to confuse right and wrong again and talk nonsense, believe it or not, I will kill you here!"
"Shi, Shi Ji warrior?"
Qi Shengwu's power suddenly stagnated, and his whole body froze instantly, dumbfounded.
