The queen suddenly shouted and looked at everyone present coldly.
"You are all loyal ministers of my Izumo Empire, how can you fight for power and profit at this stall? Dashang's army will be here soon."
The scene suddenly became silent, and everyone knelt down.
According to the regulations of the Izumo Empire, the Queen is now the supreme ruler of the entire empire, and everyone still has to listen to her orders to some extent.
But not everyone would buy it. The old prime minister stepped forward directly, with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Since the queen knows that our survival is at stake now, she should decide on the candidate for the emperor as soon as possible, otherwise our empire will not be preserved."
The queen's fists were clenched, and the obvious sound of bones colliding could be heard, and the anger in her eyes almost turned into reality.
Today's forced palace campaign was entirely initiated by the old prime minister. Half of the civil and military ministers in the court were his disciples, so they would naturally support him.
Although the remaining people belong to different factions, they will still give him a little bit of love.
In other words, as long as the old prime minister is willing, he can pull down the queen and establish a new emperor at any time.
While everyone was arguing, the general guarding the city hurriedly ran into the hall and knelt on the ground.
"It's not good...the merchant army has already arrived at the city and has begun to attack the city!"
Everyone present suddenly panicked, and the queen even stood up from the throne.
"This is impossible. There are so many cities in the middle. How could they attack here so quickly?"
General Pian didn't know how to answer, but the anxiety on his face was extremely high.
When we came back just now, part of the merchant army had already climbed to the top of the city. If reinforcements were not sent, the city would probably be destroyed.
Just when he was about to report this information, the old prime minister next to him suddenly stood up.
"Empress, you have also seen that the imperial city is in danger, and we must choose the emperor as soon as possible!"
The queen did not expect that at this point, the old prime minister was still fighting for power.
At this moment, another herald broke into the hall and knelt on the ground. His body was densely covered with crossbow arrows, and blood continued to fall on the ground.
"No, the east city gate has been breached, and the merchant army has entered the city."
This shout shocked everyone present. No one expected that Shang Jun was so fast.
Before they could react, the herald had fallen to the ground, dead.
The old prime minister's eyes widened. He no longer forced the queen to establish an emperor, but abandoned Yugui and ran out of the hall in a hurry.
Seeing this, other civil and military ministers also ran out.
At this point, it no longer matters who controls the government, the key is to save one's life.
Seeing the civil and military officials of the court fleeing in panic, the queen was heartbroken. She did not expect that the ministers of the Izumo Empire would be so virtuous.
The battle outside the imperial city has come to an end. With the cooperation of the Poison Man and the Silver Armor Corps, they easily broke through the city gate.
I didn't expect that it would be so easy to break the city. I even wondered if this was a trap set by the enemy.
