Chapter 697 The hatred of the prince

Xu Congyang and other officials were even more shocked when they saw this scene. The emperor had already frowned. At this time, Xuanzhen Dao Sect had already come to the emperor. Seeing this scene, he finally shouted: "Come on, take down these gangs of traitors."

Tongtian Hall was the emperor's place of practice, so the officers and soldiers who accompanied the guards did not enter Tongtian Hall, and only Xuanyuan Shao and a few subordinates followed the guards.

The guards that came with the emperor are still outside the Tongtian Hall.

In this Tongtian Hall, except for all officials, the others are Taoist priests. Except for some of them who came with Xuanzhen Taoist Sect, they were going to perform a ceremony for offering sacrifices to heaven. In this Tongtian Hall, there were dozens of Taoist priests on standby, but their role was to serve and entertain the officials who came to worship the heavens. There were only more than 40 people scattered around the officials. When Xuanzhen Taoist Sect gave the order, half of the Taoist priests rushed forward.

Taoist priests are also humans and flesh and blood. Xuanzhen Taoist sect was granted the title of Taoism, which was their highest leader. With the order of Xuanzhen Taoist sect, these Taoist priests also felt that the opportunity to make merits and receive rewards had come, so they were reluctant to let it go. They rushed forward one by one, and suddenly heard a scream. Everyone looked in the voice and saw a Taoist priest who had just rushed out two steps, but suddenly lay on the ground, bleeding. Next to it was a Taoist priest holding a dagger with a ferocious face, and there was still blood on the dagger.

There was a scream, and only the screams were heard everywhere. The Taoist priests who had rushed towards Huang Ju fell to the ground one after another in a short period of time, and the ones who killed them were all Taoist priests wearing the same Taoist robe.

All the officials were even more surprised. At this time, someone understood that many of these Taoist priests were in disguise. The Taoist priests who took action to kill their companions were quick, ruthless, and light-hearted. More than 40 Taoist priests fell in a pool of blood in a blink of an eye. Someone among the Taoist priests shouted: "Protect Duke Anguo and kill the foolish monarch!"

A group of Taoist priests rushed into the table of officials with a fierce momentum, holding blood-dreaming daggers in their hands. Seeing this, many of them were already looking like earth and dodging in fear. Chu Huan looked cold in the crowd. He was still a distance away from Huang Ju at this time. Seeing the two Taoist priests passing by him, it would be no problem to stop a Taoist priest if he took action at this moment, but the situation was not clear at this moment. Chu Huan didn't know how many Huang Ju's manpower there were in Tongtian Palace, but he did not act rashly.

At this time, more than a dozen officials were protecting An Guogong, and a group of Taoist priests holding daggers were protecting the surrounding area. However, the officials could not easily get close to Huang Ju at this time.

Huang Ju stood in the crowd, gently stroked her beard. Seeing that the emperor's face on the high platform was very bad, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth. At this time, she saw Xue Huaian coming to the high platform with fear. Seeing the scene below the stage, Xue Huaian suddenly shook his body and said in a lost voice: "Not good..."

The emperor frowned, turned his head and looked at him coldly, and Xue Huaian immediately said, "Master, Wu Jingwei... The big thing is not good, Wu Jingwei is arranged not far outside the Tongtian Palace."

"Outside the Tongtian Palace?" the emperor frowned.

Xue Huaian said in panic: "In order to ensure the safety of the emperor, Huang Tiandu had mobilized a team of Wujingwei to deploy it in advance on the north side of Tongtian Hall, claiming that he wanted to protect the safety of the emperor."

"Not good..." At this moment, a figure rushed out of the square and shouted loudly: "There are troops... they are going to rebel..." The man ran for a while and suddenly fell to the ground. He struggled for a few times and stopped moving, but there were several sharp arrows behind him.

At this moment, the ministers had already heard the rumbling sound, and then they were shocked to find that not only the white marble avenue in the middle of the two rivers, but also the sound of horse hooves in other directions.

On the White Marble Avenue, a group of soldiers and horses were like wolves and tigers. At this time, the sky was already dark, and some people had raised torches among the soldiers and horses coming.

The group of soldiers and horses had distinct armor, which was the armor of Wu Jingwei. One of them had a big cloak, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. There were no less than five or six hundred soldiers behind him, and they were crowded with white marble roads, like wolves and tigers. They held swords and guns, and iron horses and golden swords, and quickly came to the square.

While the ministers were frightened, the light of torches appeared in the other directions of the White Marble High Platform. Then, the Wujing Guards' soldiers and horses appeared. The Wujing Guards' troops had dispersed and surrounded them in a fan shape. The ministers were all shocked. The Tongtian Palace prohibited soldiers and horses from entering, and even the guards around the emperor could not come in. At this time, a large number of soldiers and horses entered with swords and guns, which was naturally a rebellion.

At this moment, many officials who were still confused finally realized it.

Previously, when everyone saw Duke An Guoguo Huang Ju, he said generously, many people even thought that Duke An Guoguo was waking up the emperor with his death, and some even admired Duke An Guoguo quite much.

Only when everyone knew that the incident had started was that Duke An had prepared for a long time and that he was really going to rebel.

The commander of Wu Jingwei is Huang Tiandu, and Huang Tian is both the sons of Huang Ju. Now that Wu Jingwei's troops rushed into Tongtian Hall, there is no need to explain anything. The Huang clan has already rebelled.

The surrounding soldiers and horses rushed over like wolves and tigers, forming an encirclement. Huang Tian had already raised his hand and raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Don't move everyone, the sword has no eyes. Anyone who acts rashly and dies under the sword will not be responsible!"

Many ministers' faces were very ugly. Shen Keqiu, the commander of the Right Chief Emperor, looked at Huang Ju and said sternly: "Huang Ju, you are really against me. You traitor, the law of heaven cannot tolerate it..."

Huang Ju sneered: "The law of heaven? I am against it for the law of heaven."

The emperor witnessed the incident in Tongtian Palace on the high platform, and he was still carrying his hands on his back. Torches were squeaking around him. The night wind blew, and the corners of the emperor's Taoist robe were also fluttering with the wind. He looked at Huang Ju in the audience and finally said, "Huang Ju, it seems that you really don't want to live anymore!"

Huang Ju shook his head and said, "You are wrong. I did this because I wanted to survive. If I don't do this, not only will I not be able to survive by myself, but I will not be able to survive in this great Qin Dynasty."

The emperor sneered: "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean, you know better than anyone else." Huang Ju said lightly: "From the day you handed over the Ministry of Revenue to me, maybe you were thinking about taking my life in your heart, but you had to put on a layer of clothes for yourself, so you dare not act rashly. I have never had any intention of rebelling. You have said one thing right, I like money, but if it weren't for my money, why would you ascend to the throne? I had just prepared a little family property, but that was what you owe me at the beginning. My family, who was kind and righteous to you, can be regarded as loyal to the country, but how could you treat me the Huang family?"

Xu Congyang couldn't help but say, "Does the Lord treat your Huang family well? Your Huang family was nothing more than a wealthy family in Anyi, but now it is rich enough to compete with the country. Don't you know how generous the letters of your Huang family's embezzlement and bribery and impeachment of your Duke An Guo, you know how much it is. But you have never cared about the contributions of your Huang family at that time, and you are not satisfied? The Lord has only two princesses, but he betrothed a princess to your Huang family. Is it not so generous? Your Duke An Guo is an important member of the Secretariat and is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. Huang Tiandu was even given the title of commander of Wujingwei, responsible for the safety and dangers of the capital. As for your hometown of Anyi, you know the power and wealth of your Huang family over there. Is the Lord treating your Huang family so kind to be exchanged for the rebellion of your Huang family?"

Duke An Guo calmly shook his head and said, "Sir Xu, you are a person with knowledge of knowledge. Others can't see his false benevolence and righteousness. Can't you still see it? After marrying a princess, everyone thinks that the emperor's kindness is great, but not to mention the willful nature, the servants around her are all eyeliners who monitor my Huang family. Do you know that since the princess arrived at our Huang family, our Huang family seemed to have a knife on the neck. I have to open my eyes when I sleep in the middle of the night. I work diligently to make a cow and horse for him, but what I get is his suspicion and surveillance."

"What are you afraid of if you don't do anything bad?" The emperor said lightly: "Are you afraid that I know if you have any shameful things?"

Duke An Guo laughed and said, "If you want to inflict a crime, why don't you worry? Since you have a suspicion of me, even if I am obedient, how can you tolerate me?" He showed a hint of anger in his eyes and stared at the emperor, "You only know that I have mastered the finances of the empire, but think about it yourself. If I hadn't, your Tongtian Palace could really be built? After the war in the Central Plains, it was withered. If I were not with them, why should the Qin Dynasty become prosperous? As the emperor, you live in a magnificent palace. Waving your hand is to quell the chaos, raising your feet is to build it. What kind of drought and floods, have you never thought about which one does not require money? Without the painstaking efforts of me and the officials of the Ministry of Revenue, how can the country be prosperous and the people be safe?"

He obviously had a lot of words, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, "If it was just for state affairs, then it would be fine. I would have sold my iron and made money. But you favored the demonic Taoism and were obsessed with Taoism, and even made an aim to build Taoist temples across the country. This place spent a lot of money to build Tongtian Hall. You only know that this palace is gorgeous and spectacular, but do you know how much money this palace costs? If there is no such palace, the silver would be enough to allow countless money and grain to resist the people of Xiliang. The Ministry of Revenue, for your cultivation and alchemy, and for your dream of immortality, you have exhausted your efforts, but you are pressing step by step, you put nails into the Ministry of Revenue, disrupting the Ministry of Revenue, and even looking for opportunities to clear the Ministry of Revenue. Isn't your purpose just to deal with me?"

The emperor said lightly: "It seems that you have a lot of resentment towards me."

"I don't resent you, but I must not sit idly by and mess around and ruin your great country." Duke An Guo said in a deep voice: "Yingyuan, you retreat!"
