As soon as the imperial physician arrived, he knew that Xiao Zhong could not be saved, but he still tried to save him. Finally, he knelt on the ground and reported to Emperor Jin Ming, "Your servants are incompetent and powerless to save him!"

Emperor Jin Ming reacted, and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. He shouted to Tian Ruomo, "You must have a way, save him quickly!"

Tian Ruomo shook her head, "Your Majesty, I am not a god. I can only save those who are still alive, not those who are already dead!"

Emperor Jin Ming was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Xiao Jun with red eyes, "Are you satisfied this time?"

"You drove him to death!"

Although Emperor Ming of Jin treated Xiao Chong in this way, he still wanted to spare Xiao Chong's life and would not actually order Xiao Chong to be executed.

Xiao Jun slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the reluctance and sadness in his heart had disappeared.

"Father, although I don't want to see this result, there is a cause and an effect. He personally slaughtered thousands of people and wiped out five villages. Everything is his own fault. It has nothing to do with me."

Emperor Ming of Jin pointed at Xiao Jun and was about to curse him, but then he suddenly realized that he could not continue to quarrel with Xiao Jun at this moment, as this evil son might really pull him off the throne.

The reason why he severely punished Xiao Zhong was just to stabilize Xiao Jun.

He can't lose his composure!

He suppressed his anger and said through gritted teeth, "Yes, he brought this upon himself. No one else can be blamed. Since he is dead, let's send his body outside the palace, inform the public of the situation, and appease the people's grievances!"

"This matter is settled now!"

Emperor Ming of Jin didn't want to look at Xiao Zhong lying on the ground anymore, so he turned around and was about to leave!

He wanted to leave here, so he immediately asked Eunuch Zhu to gather the most elite palace guards to capture Xiao Jun and Tian Rumo.

"Father, you go first!"

Xiao Jun called out to Emperor Jin Ming, "If you leave, today is doomed. The palace and the entire capital will be plunged into a bloody storm."

"We have to solve this matter thoroughly before you can leave!"

what?

Emperor Jin Ming turned around and looked straight at Xiao Jun, "What...what are you going to do?"

Xiao Jun sighed, "Father, since your voice has been heard by everyone, do you still think that you can buy some time to breathe by just saying a few words?"

"How could you think that I would let you leave when I knew that you were trying to buy time to deal with me and Ruo Mo, and that once you left here, you would gather all the people who were loyal to you to deal with us?"

Everyone was slightly shocked!

But no one spoke.

Emperor Jin Ming's eyes were red, and he said in a deep voice, "Xiao Jun, do you want to rebel?"

"Father, I won't say anything else. I think you are no longer fit to sit in such a position!"

Xiao Jun fell to his knees with a thud, looked up at Emperor Jin Ming, and said seriously, "Father, please do one last thing for the country and the people of the world. Issue an edict to abdicate and become the emperor emeritus to enjoy your old age!"

Emperor Jin Ming froze for a moment, then slammed his palm heavily on the table and shouted, "You are so brave, you bastard!"

"Come here, Crown Prince Xiao Jun is a traitor and is plotting treason. Capture him immediately. If he resists, kill him without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than 20 fully armed palace guards rushed in from outside, holding swords in their hands and were about to rush over, but he heard more chaotic footsteps coming from outside.

Xiao Jun's guard commander Du Hu, led dozens of people who were also dressed as palace guards, and rushed in at the fastest speed, surrounding the more than 20 palace guards.

Not only that, a young eunuch hurriedly ran in from the side door outside and reported in a panic, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. The gatekeeper of the East Gate of the capital has opened the gate without authorization, and a large number of Red Flag troops have poured into the city!"

Another young eunuch rushed in from the side door, and without even having time to salute, he said anxiously, "Your Majesty, the palace guards are rebelling, and the palace is in chaos!"

what?

Emperor Ming of Jin and all the officials were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their heads.

Sure enough, they heard chaotic shouting and the sound of weapons clashing coming from outside.

These sounds came from far away and then, the palace guard commander Chen Duan came in with a few people. Their bodies were covered in blood and they were filled with murderous aura.

When Emperor Ming of Jin saw that it was his own guard commander, he was overjoyed!

"Chen Duan, have you killed all the rebels?"

However, Chen Duan didn't even look at him. Instead, he knelt on one knee, clasped his fists in front of Xiao Jun, and said loudly, "Reporting to His Royal Highness, all the palace guards and eunuchs in the palace who are unwilling to stand on His Royal Highness's side have been cleared out!"

Emperor Jin Ming's expression suddenly fell. He stared at Chen Duan and shouted, "Chen Duan, how dare you betray me?"

Chen Duan turned and knelt down in front of Emperor Jin Ming. "Your Majesty, I am grateful for your trust over the years. However, General Tian cured my mother's serious illness and saved her life."

"More importantly, your Highness's philosophy of governing the country is more in line with my expectations of a monarch, so I can only stand on your side."

"Your Majesty, I beg you to consider the people of the world and take the initiative to issue an edict to abdicate, and do not force me!"

Emperor Ming of Jin's hands began to tremble. He knew that it was useless to scold Chen Duan at this moment.

His gaze once again swept over the officials who were in a daze and seemed a little at a loss.

"Are you... going to just watch helplessly as the Crown Prince plots to usurp the throne?"

All the officials looked at each other in bewilderment!

In the current situation, anyone who is not a fool knows that Emperor Ming of Jin is doomed.

Originally, they were controlled by Tian Rumo!

At this point, there is no suspense about whose side they will stand on if asked to take sides.

Then, led by Prime Minister Xu Gongmin, they all knelt on the ground and said in unison, "Your Majesty, please take the initiative to abdicate!"

Emperor Ming of Jin looked at the officials kneeling down in a mass, Xiao Jun who was kneeling, and Tian Rumo who was holding a black cat with a smile on her face, standing there as if watching a show.

Finally, when he saw Xiao Ci and Xiao Ze who did not kneel down, it was like he saw the last straw!

"King Chen! King Donghu! Say something. Do you think I am unworthy of sitting in this position?"

Xiao Ci and Xiao Ze are kings, and the strength of their two fiefdoms is also considerable. If they express opposition, Xiao Jun will still have some concerns. Perhaps there is still room for improvement.

Xiao Ci and Xiao Ze's expressions were extremely ugly.

If it were in the past, they would have seized the opportunity of Xiao Jun's attempt to usurp the throne and united to deal with Xiao Jun.

Because Emperor Ming of Jin still had a very high influence on the Great Jin Dynasty. In various places, there were some generals loyal to Emperor Ming of Jin. As long as Emperor Ming of Jin made a call, a considerable number of troops would return to the capital to serve the king.

Together with the private soldiers in their fiefdoms, they are fully capable of competing with the Red Flag Army.

However, behind Xiao Jun, there is Tian Rumo.

Tian Ruomo solved the problems almost overnight when she dealt with Shanhai Province, Qianshan Province, and even the fiefdom of King Dai.

This leaves them feeling powerless and hopeless.

Can they deal with such a person?
