If they had the imperial guards, perhaps some of them could still fight. But who would have thought that Jiang Tianming had hidden himself so deeply?
Unknowingly, he had already subdued Sima Chu Zhongyi and controlled the imperial city's guards!
Situ Wangmin and Sikong Geqi's faces were deathly pale, and their foreheads were covered in sweat.
It wasn't that they didn't want to kneel down, but they knew that their status was different from those minuscule remonstrants.
Even if he did, this matter would not be forgotten.
With Chu Zhongyi present, Jiang Tianming had probably been informed of the matter of supporting Jiang Tianhai in the main hall.
The only thing they could do now was to hope that Jiang Tianming would be lenient.
Other than that, there was no other way out.
Jiang Tianming did not let the officials stand up when they heard their voices of submission. Instead, his eyes were like lightning as he looked straight at Concubine Zhao who was sitting on the high throne.
As for Jiang Tianhai, he was already scared out of his wits. His entire body was trembling non-stop. Jiang Tianming did not care about him at all.
"Ta…Ta…"
Jiang Tianming stepped on the passageway in the middle of the main hall and walked toward the throne.
The sound of steady footsteps seemed to be gnawing at Lady Zhao's heart.
His face paled as he suppressed the panic in his heart. For the first time since Jiang Tianming appeared, he pretended to be calm and scolded,
"Jiang Tianming, the late king has issued a secret edict for Hai 'er to inherit the throne.
Now that you've led your troops into the palace and shed blood, do you still take the former king's secret edict seriously? Are you trying to usurp the throne?!”
The Second Madam looked stern but was stubborn. Her words did not stutter, and she was mentally strong.
However, the words that came out of his mouth made all the officials look at him in astonishment.
Second Madam must be scared silly, right?
Could it be that he still could not see the current situation?
A disaster was imminent, and now he was still talking about the secret edict that could be altered and forged?
Was there any meaning?
Didn't you see that Si Kong and Si Tu were silent?
Just as the ministers thought.
Jiang Tianming's footsteps weren't affected at all when he heard Lady Zhao's words.
Step by step, as he moved, an aura that seemed to have been born with him gradually spread out towards the main hall.
"Buzz…"
Whether it was the Second Mistress or the ministers;
At this moment, everyone felt the surging regal might become even more majestic, and a great pressure seemed to be pressing down on them until they could not breathe.
"Ta Ta…"
Jiang Tianming didn't stop walking and didn't look away.
Step by step, he climbed up the nine steps in the middle that only the king of a country could climb up.
He stood on the high platform in front of the throne, only thirty feet away from Lady Zhao.
Jiang Tianming's current attitude made Zhao Ji even more uncertain.
She felt that Jiang Tianming was a stranger today. In all these years, Jiang Tianming had never shown such a domineering scene.
That kind of disdain, that kind of oppressive majesty, had already completed the transformation from a subject to a superior.
"For the sake of the throne, the Second Furen is really willing to do anything.”
Jiang Tianming stood on the stairs, his eyes seemingly staring into the abyss.
When she said this, Zhao Ji's body could not help but freeze.
He knew that Jiang Tianming was implying something, not just about the secret edict.
There was also the assassination in Yan City and the interception at Yaogu Pass…
"Bengong doesn't know what you're talking about.”
Of course, Lady Zhao would not admit to what Jiang Tianming had said.
Even his tone was slightly calmer than before.
Jiang Tianming's gaze was like lightning as he looked at the screen behind the other party with deep meaning.
He pretended not to notice it and continued to walk forward as if he had fallen into a trap.
Every step he took gave Zhao Ji a heavy weight.
Every step he took seemed to be stepping on the hearts of the officials.
"Attack!"
When Jiang Tianming was less than ten feet away from the throne, Lady Zhao suddenly shouted.
Then, the screen behind him was instantly torn apart by a sharp sword qi.
"Psst!"
"Bang!"
The screen was cut into two, and the scattered bones were thrown to the two sides of the hall.
It crashed into the ground, sending up a cloud of dust.
At the same time, three figures formed a three-man formation and jumped high into the air, instantly surrounding Jiang Tianming.
"Yin…"
Waves of sharp sword intent and killing intent instantly enveloped Jiang Tianming.
"Not good!"
"My lord, it's dangerous!"
Sima Chu Zhong Yi shouted and reacted first.
Everything seemed too sudden. From the appearance of the assassin to the arrival of everyone, it had not even been a breath.
Looking at the three masked men who were far higher than him, Chu Zhong Yi felt his scalp go numb.
…Exploding a lot of iron pieces, awesome, I must add more! I'm very happy ~
