At this moment, there was complete silence in the Great Celebration Hall.
Everyone looked at Yang Zaixing.
Each of them had a complicated look in their eyes.
However, most of them were deeply shocked!
How dare Yang Zaixing kill the current Prime Minister!
Retired Emperor Zhao Ji immediately jumped up from his throne and could no longer maintain his composure.
The veins on his forehead bulged out in anger!
In Yang Zaixing's mind, on the system panel, the completion rate of this mission was immediately full!
There was nothing more shocking to the imperial court than the scene of him killing the prime minister!
However, Yang Zaixing did not choose to end the mission to receive the reward.
Because the more he exceeded his expectations, the better the system's reward would be!
On the other hand, Emperor Zhao Heng's face was filled with deep delight.
As the emperor, Zhao Heng wanted to kill Li Bangyan, who had disobeyed him and forced him to abdicate. However, when Zhao Kuangyin, the Song Taizu, founded the country, he had clearly set the rule that scholar-bureaucrats could not be killed.
Zhao Heng could go against the crowd and give Yang Zaixing the title of the Great General, but he couldn't kill the officials at will, which was against the rules of the Great Ancestor.
However, Yang Zaixing's killing of Li Bangyan undoubtedly made Zhao Heng feel relieved and vented his anger.
He knew that Yang Zaixing was protecting his dignity as the emperor.
Furthermore, Zhao Heng could not order the killing of scholar-officials, but that did not mean that no one could kill scholar-officials!
This was because Zhao Heng had given Yang Zaixing the title of Grand General, which was equivalent to giving Yang Zaixing the authority to make military decisions!
Zhao Heng could not kill Prime Minister Li Bangyan, but Yang Zaixing could use military law to kill anyone who had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!
At the same time, Zhao Heng also looked at Retired Emperor Zhao Ji and the ministers in the palace. He knew that Yang Zaixing's actions would inevitably lead to their retaliation and impeachment.
However, Zhao Heng had made up his mind that he would stand by Yang Zaixing no matter what.
Yang Zaixing saw Zhao Heng's determined gaze and immediately understood.
Zhao Heng's eyes were filled with determination.
The trust that this young ruler and his subjects had for each other was a tacit understanding that had been honed in the cruelest of desperate situations!
"Yang Zaixing, how dare you!"
A furious roar filled with vigor resounded throughout the Great Celebration Hall.
This shout came from Retired Emperor Zhao Ji.
Li Bangyan was his man, and Zhao Ji felt humiliated when he was kicked by Zhao Heng a few times.
Moreover, Li Bangyan was killed by Zhao Heng's men right in front of him!
If Zhao Ji didn't react, then his dignity and dignity would be completely gone!
His other trusted aides, such as Gao Qiu and Tong Guan, would also be disappointed. They might even look down on Zhao Ji and no longer serve him.
This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to Zhao Ji's power!
"You haven't even made a firm decision as a Great General, yet you dare to kill the current Prime Minister in front of all the civil and military officials in the Qing Palace!
Do you still have the laws of the Great Song in your eyes? Do you still have me, the Retired Emperor?”
Zhao Ji's face was dark, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He scolded Yang Zaixing angrily.
With Retired Emperor Zhao Ji taking the lead, Bai Shizhong, Zhang Bangchang, and the others finally reacted and regained their courage.
After all, Yang Zaixing had been put in an important position by Emperor Zhao Heng. Killing the current Prime Minister and angering the Retired Emperor was a capital crime!
There was even a hint of joy in the eyes of Minister Youcheng Bai Shizhong.
Li Bangyan, who was ranked first among the prime ministers, had died. Once he helped the Retired Emperor restore his throne, he, as the minister, could rightfully become the first prime minister!
In addition, Yang Zaixing had committed such a capital crime, so he would definitely not be able to stand in the imperial court.
Then, he, Bai Shizhong, would be the number one hero of Retired Emperor Zhao Ji's restoration, the most powerful person in the court!
"How dare you, Yang Zaixing!
Killing the prime minister in the Qing Kingdom's palace hall, disregarding the laws of the country!
According to the law, he should be beheaded!"
Bai Shizhong pretended to be furious as he condemned Yang Zaixing.
"Where are the Golden Melon Warriors?
Bring this traitor Yang Zaixing out of the Meridian Gate and behead him!”
Grand Slaughter Zhang Bangchang also rushed up to show his performance.
They had finally caught Yang Zaixing's crime and cut off one of the Emperor Zhao Heng's arms. How could they let go of this opportunity?
The Retired Emperor's faction and the other civil officials also began to angrily rebuke Yang Zaixing.
Yang Zaixing, who had been criticized by everyone, was even happier.
The more these people stomped their feet, the more shocked they were. Yang Zaixing's mission completion rate would also be higher.
Thus, his eyes moved and he suddenly shouted,""Shut up!"
This shout was so loud that it drowned out everyone else's voice, making their ears buzz. For a moment, they were really shocked by Yang Zaixing.
Yang Zaixing took a step forward and looked at the furious Retired Emperor Zhao Ji. He said in a cadence,"I'm a martial artist. I only know how to protect the country and eradicate traitors for the Great Song!
The treacherous Prime Minister Li Bangyan forced His Majesty and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. I drew my sword and killed the rebellious minister with a clear conscience!
On the other hand, since the Retired Emperor had already abdicated, he should spend his remaining years in the palace, cultivate his mind and temper, and leave the court affairs to the Emperor alone to decide.
Otherwise, it would only make the world feel that Retired Emperor abdicating and not leaving the court would be even more disrespectful to the current Emperor!
Li Bangyan and Bai Shizhong, who had roared in the court, were examples!”
Yang Zaixing's words were like pearls of wisdom, digging a pit for Retired Emperor Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji was speechless on the spot.
Emperor Zhao Heng's eyes lit up again, and he looked at Yang Zaixing with a gratified expression.
After all, Zhao Heng was the Emperor. He could not criticize his father in front of his subjects.
However, as a minister, Yang Zaixing's words were a form of remonstrance, which was very appropriate.
Moreover, he directly blamed Li Bangyan's death on Zhao Ji's interference in politics. This logic could be said to be brilliant and heart-wrenching!
Yang Zaixing's sharp words made Zhao Ji, Bai Shizhong, and the others speechless.
On the system interface, Yang Zaixing's mission progress had increased by a lot, even exceeding the mission progress bar.
At this moment, a young man who was about 18 or 19 years old and dressed in the official robe of a vassal king sneered and stood out.
"Yang Zaixing! How dare you be so rude to the Retired Emperor!
The Retired Emperor is His Majesty's Imperial Father!
Do you still have the Retired Emperor in your eyes? Do you still have the current Emperor?”
This person was none other than Zhao Gou, the King of Kang. He had hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command.
When Bianliang was breached, Zhao Gou was urgently conferred the title of Grand Marshal of the army and organized the army to save Bianliang.
However, he did not move his troops and even stopped the other troops from going to Bianliang. Instead, he gathered them under his command.
At this moment, he could be said to be the third force other than the Retired Emperor and the current Emperor!
Yang Zaixing sneered and looked at Majesty Kang, Zhao Gou.""In Yang Zaixing's eyes, of course, there is the Retired Emperor and His Majesty.
It was just that there were no two suns in the sky, and there were no two masters in the country!
Since the Retired Emperor had already abdicated, he should enjoy his life and let go of the government.
As a citizen of the Great Song, I respect the Retired Emperor.
As an official of the Great Song, I only know the current Emperor and not the Retired Emperor!”
Yang Zaixing suddenly stepped forward and stared at Zhao Gou.""His Highness Majesty Kang, on the other hand, did not move his troops during the crisis of Bianliang, and his thoughts were unclear.
Putting Retired Emperor and His Majesty in extreme danger!
Do you have the Retired Emperor and His Majesty in your eyes?”
Yang Zaixing's advance caused Zhao Gou to panic and take three steps back.
Yang Zaixing's shout made Zhao Gou look even more righteous. He was instantly deflated and no longer had the right to criticize Yang Zaixing.
When Bai Shizhong and the others saw Yang Zaixing's power and eloquence, they were even more afraid to speak.
Yang Zaixing's mission completion rate soared again.
For a moment, no one in the court dared to face Yang Zaixing!
