Outside the palace.
"Find a ladder and climb the wall!"
Yuan Shu ordered loudly.
When he heard that He Jin, who had helped him, had been killed, he could not help but burn with anger. His hatred for the group of eunuchs who had brought disaster to the country and the people had reached its peak.
Under his constant urging, the soldiers all seemed to have been injected with stimulants as they launched a fierce attack on the palace gate.
The current Yuan Gonglu was not as arrogant and extravagant as he had been in the past. He could even be called a good young man of the Imperium with ideals and aspirations.
After all, as a descendant of the Yuan family, he had received an aristocratic education since he was young. This also allowed him to retain his loyalty to the Empire.
At least, that was how it looked on the surface.
However, no one knew if Yuan Shu was blinded by anger or had ulterior motives.
He had completely forgotten that there was no loyalty to speak of in such a public attack on the palace.
At this moment, a commander ran over and said,"Lieutenant General, the scouts have reported that the Si Li Commandant will soon break through the north gate. Perhaps we should hurry to the north gate to provide support!”
It was Wu Kuang, a member of the General's Residence.
Just now, he had mobilized a large army and killed General He Miao under the pretext of 'colluding with eunuches', successfully eliminating the last external help of the Ten Attendants.
Now, Wu Kuang had joined forces with Yuan Shu to deal the final blow to the dead eunuchs.
Yuan Shu rolled his eyes and said with a dark face,"No, now that the South Gate is making great progress, why should we abandon what is near and seek what is far away?”
Compared to Wu Kuang, who only wanted to avenge the Great General, his thoughts were obviously more complicated.
The person in charge of the north gate was Yuan Shao, who had just been promoted to the position of Si Li Colonel.
Yuan Shu had always been at odds with his half-brother.
Why was he more outstanding than her, a direct descendant, when he was clearly the son of a lowly servant?
Why was he more appreciated by He Jin when he was recruited by the General's Estate at the same time?
Now that Yuan Shao had already become a Si Li Lieutenant who could disrespect the three dukes, if he also obtained the first merit of avenging the Great General, then wouldn't he never have a day to stand out?
"Attack! Continue to attack!"
Thinking of this, Yuan Shu became even more anxious.
Seeing that the soldiers were still unable to successfully take down the palace gate, a bold idea suddenly rippled in his mind.
If it really doesn't work, I'll set fire to the palace!
Just as Yuan Shu was about to order people to prepare torches and flammable materials, an unexpected scene suddenly appeared.
The eunuchs and soldiers on the palace wall suddenly stopped fighting and looked at the other side of the wall.
"What's going on?"
Yuan Shu and Wu Kuang looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Soon after, they saw the eunuchs kneel on the ground one after another.
Immediately after, the soldiers knelt down as well.
"Preposterous!"
Yuan Shu's expression changed drastically.
The next moment, the tightly shut palace door suddenly creaked open.
Yuan Shu, Wu Kuang, and the soldiers outside the palace gate were all dumbfounded.
Under their dazed gazes, the fully-armed Yulin Royal Guards split into two teams and filed out from both sides of the spacious palace gate.
After the Yulin Royal Guards stood still, they were surrounded by another group of soldiers. Several dazzling figures entered their sight.
Minister Lu?
And General Huan Zhonglang?
Wait, isn't the black-robed youth in the middle His Majesty?
What was going on?
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Yuan Shu immediately pulled Wu Kuang and knelt down.
Although he really couldn't figure out why the little Emperor would suddenly appear, the scene in front of him also felt extremely out of place.
However, due to his keen sense of politics, he knew that the most correct action now was to kneel and salute His Majesty!
"How dare you offend the Imperial Palace?”
Liu Bian immediately found the two generals and shot them a cold glance.
Yuan Shu and Wu Kuang looked at each other again, feeling even more surprised.
This, this youth is really His Majesty?
The character setting was wrong!
Looking at the youth's cold eyes, Wu Kuang's heart couldn't help but go numb.
To be honest, as a veteran general, he didn't think the other party's gaze was that scary.
However, as a member of the feudal society, even in today's declining imperial power, people still had a natural fear of the imperial power.
" Your…Your Majesty, we are here because the Great General was…"
Wu Kuang had barely finished his sentence when he was stopped by Yuan Shu's extremely stern gaze.
This Qiu Ba's mouth was stupid, and he would only make things worse!
Yuan Shu quickly organized his words, then pretended to be a little aggrieved and said,"We saw that Your Majesty was kidnapped by the rebels and came to save you. Although I was forced by the situation, my crime is unforgivable. Please punish me, Your Majesty!”
As a descendant of the Yuan Family, Yuan Shu was exceptionally sensitive.
He quickly realized that instead of forcefully defending himself, it was better to take a step back and directly admit his guilt.
In any case, he was the son of the Yuan family, a super political family. Even if the former emperor was in power, he might not have the courage to punish him for a serious crime!
