Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

Ye Zhan said angrily: "Drag him away, hang him on the city wall, and cut him into pieces as a warning to others."

Jueying flew down, grabbed the man, and dragged him out of the imperial study like a dog.

"I never thought that there are descendants of them among the Imperial Guards."

Ye Zhan spread out the corner of his robe and sat on the dragon throne.

Marshal Guan said with a worried look on his face: "These people were able to hide for so long, but suddenly rebelled because of a piece of paper. What kind of person is the leader of Feiyao Kingdom? How could he have such great cohesion?"

Yin Zhong also said worriedly: "It is true. The Feiyao people have infiltrated every corner of our Great Zhou. The scary thing is that we know very little about the Feiyao country. I have searched through folk literature in the past few days, but have not found any records about the Feiyao country."

Ye Zhan nodded and said, "I have also searched almost all the books in the palace, but I still can't find a single word. Maybe it's because it's so old that even if someone recorded it, it might have been destroyed when the dynasty changed."

Yin Buyu was honest and straightforward, and couldn't help asking, "If there really is such a country, how did their ruler live for so many years? Wouldn't he have become a god?"

"A few days ago, a letter came from the Emperor, saying that the Feiyao nation is good at sorcery that can separate the soul and reshape the body."

Ye Zhan paused slightly when he said this.

"If this is true, this person's skills are probably unfathomable."

Hearing this, everyone's faces were suddenly covered with a layer of gloom.

Yin Xingyun comforted him, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. During the Battle of Beihai, the Emperor and the Empress met many masters. Since all the major sects have gone to Lianyun Mountain, they will surely unite to resist the enemy. Most of these people have ordinary martial arts skills. Even if there are some who use magic to reshape their bodies, there shouldn't be too many. The Emperor and the Empress are wise and intelligent, and they will definitely be able to handle it."

He paused for a moment, and then continued, "I learned a few days ago that all the disciples of Shangqing Temple have left Beijing and headed north. The temple master is good at astrology and divination. If my guess is correct, the purpose of their trip may also be Lianyun Mountain."

"Let's hope so. I have already sent ten secret guards from the palace to Lianyun Mountain to investigate the situation. I believe that news will be reported back soon."

After Ye Zhan finished speaking, he stood up from the dragon throne, and a heavy and fierce aura emanated from his body.

"From today on, if we catch any rebels, we will execute their entire clans. We must kill them all and make sure they don't dare to rebel again."

"I obey your orders!"

Everyone bowed and left.

Watching the few people leave, Ye Zhan's eyes flashed with helplessness. Although he was strict in military discipline, he loved the people like his own children. But now, he had to be the bad guy. Only iron-blooded means could completely intimidate this group of lunatics and stabilize the capital.

Several people walked in and out of the imperial study one after another. Yin Buyu watched his father and elder brother leave, still feeling heavy-hearted.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? You have a bitter face all day long. Are you a bitter melon?"

A clear voice came from behind Yin Buyu. It was Princess Ye Haitang.

"Yin Buyu pays respect to the princess."

Yin Buyu bowed and saluted. He was now the commander of the imperial guards. He wore a black soft armor, with an upright posture, a solemn and dignified look, and a face that became more and more handsome and majestic.

Ye Haitang smiled and looked at him, feeling very happy.

It's a pity that several months have passed and there has been no substantial progress between the two. Ever since Yin Buyu entered the palace, his avoidance of her has become even more serious than before.

She took a step forward and said lightly, "I am not a demon in disguise, why are you afraid of me?"
