“Rebellion? I have no interest in that. I’m just following Yarin’s orders,” Esdeath said with a smile.
She was very interested in the old man's strength, but unfortunately she never had the chance to fight him.
It now appears that Bud's strength is far inferior to that of Yarin.
The civil and military officials in the surrounding area were stunned by this series of sudden events, and they didn't know how to react to the situation.
Prince Arlin, who had been dead for many years, made a powerful return, bringing his ministers to the brink of death. Esdeath betrayed the ministers and subdued General Budo.
They had a vague sense of what exciting things were about to happen, and they couldn't help but tremble.
The generals were eyeing Esdeath, wanting to make a move, but they were wary of the two hostages, General Budo and the young emperor.
Seeing the situation was turning against them, the civil officials quickly retreated to avoid being caught in the crossfire. Their small bodies couldn't withstand the strain.
The young emperor looked at the seriously injured minister, his face instantly turning ugly, and his gaze toward Yalin filled with anger and hostility.
"Are you angry?" Yalin asked calmly, his fingers twitching slightly. The threads of his crossed tails tore apart the remaining limbs of the minister piece by piece, enjoying the minister's wailing.
This is just the beginning; the ministers' punishments will last for a thousand years.
“Brother, even if you have a misunderstanding with the ministers, you shouldn’t be so cruel,” the young emperor said in a deep voice.
He still believed that the ministers were acting in his best interests and for the sake of the empire.
Over the years, the other party's judgment has never been wrong.
"Even if he killed his brothers and sisters, poisoned his father, and forced his mother to commit suicide, you still think it's a misunderstanding?" Yalin's lips curled slightly, but the coldness in his eyes was undeniable.
If this younger brother remains obstinate, he wouldn't mind sending him on his way as well.
Upon hearing this outrageous statement, the young emperor stood frozen in shock, his face turning deathly pale.
He looked at Yalin tremblingly and opened his mouth.
Turning back to look at Ernest, who was in so much pain he was almost out of his mind, he staggered to the ground and murmured something under his breath.
"Impossible, the minister wouldn't do that."
The civil and military officials below the steps were also in an uproar, at a loss for what to do.
Even though they knew the minister had committed many evils, they never imagined he would be so audacious as to commit such a treasonous act.
Yalin calmly looked at the young emperor and threw a dagger in front of him.
"Kill Ernest to avenge them, and I'll still consider you my brother. Otherwise, go down and join them."
Yalin gives him a chance to kill his enemy and see how he chooses to do it.
The young emperor stared at the hilt of the sword, his mind in turmoil, unsure of what to do.
The ministers' past teachings, his father's smile, and the faces of his other brothers and sisters all came to mind.
He picked up a dagger in one hand and gripped the scepter in the other, walking toward the minister.
The minister, now turned into a human pig, seemed to realize something, and his usual smile turned into one of utter terror.
He didn't want to die here; he wanted to live to 130 and enjoy a carefree life.
"Your Majesty, please don't believe him. How could I do such a thing? This old minister is utterly loyal to you."
His Majesty!"
Amidst the ministers' mournful cries, the young emperor hesitated.
He has no idea what the truth is!
Yalin remained silent, quietly watching the farce unfolding below.
When the young emperor arrived before the minister, the minister suddenly seemed to have a flash of inspiration and spoke in a low voice with remarkable quick wit.
"Your Majesty, if I die, everything will be left to the other side to fabricate. Are you willing to accept that?"
Quickly activate the Supreme Throne, use your Emperor's Scepter to communicate with the guardian deities beneath the palace, arrest this imposter before making a final judgment.
Only then will the truth come out.
The Supreme Throne, the strongest Imperial Arm that can only be activated by members of the royal bloodline, possesses the power to sweep away everything, and is buried beneath the palace.
The ministers valued the young emperor so much for this very reason.
As long as the emperor is near the throne, he is virtually invincible.
The young emperor was slightly taken aback; years of trust had left him in a state of hesitation.
The minister's words make sense, but...
He turned to look at Yalin on the throne, who seemed completely unaware of what was happening and allowed him to do as he pleased; now was clearly the best time.
The young emperor gritted his teeth and decided to take back control first.
As the ruler of the empire, he should be the one to make the judgment. Even his long-lost elder brother cannot force him to make a confused choice.
We cannot allow him to be so humiliated, losing all his imperial dignity.
Moreover, what if this elder brother is truly an imposter, and we are just deceiving him?
Respond to me, Supreme Throne.
The young emperor gripped his scepter tightly and silently recited in his heart.
The next second, the entire palace began to tremble violently, as if the Imperial Arms, which had been dormant for thousands of years, were about to reveal their most terrifying form. The ministers breathed a sigh of relief; things were stable now.
If the young emperor can quickly deal with Yalin, he still has a chance to be saved due to his tenacious vitality.
He then stared at Yalin with a look of resentment and malice, determined to make him wish he were dead.
Faced with the sudden earthquake, most of the people in the palace panicked.
General Bude's expression changed, as if he realized something.
Yalin sighed, disappointed in his foolish younger brother.
I gave you the opportunity but you are useless.
Indecisive, easily manipulated, and easily swayed...
The young emperor has exhausted his dwindling patience.
Yalin slammed his hand down on the ground, and an incredibly domineering force pierced through the floor and the ground, forcefully suppressing the supreme throne that was about to emerge, even causing it to crash and fall silent once again.
It's not like there's a foreign rebellion, so don't get involved!
Without an operator, the Supreme Imperial Arms could not unleash its true power and was ruthlessly suppressed.
Not to mention that Yalin also has the power to control the situation; with his abilities, taking over by force would not be a problem.
When he looked down again, the entire palace fell silent, its inhabitants staring in disbelief.
Even the ministers temporarily forgot their pain, revealing an expression of disbelief and utter impossibility.
His face turned ashen, realizing that his path to survival was over.
A moment later, the civil and military officials reacted, quickly made a decision, and prepared to congratulate the new emperor on his ascension to the throne. Since it was a contest between the emperor's sons, these outsiders had no objections.
It was definitely not out of fear of Yalin's power, which was enough to suppress even the gods.
"Brother, I..."
The young emperor looked bitter, knowing that he had made a mistake again, just like before.
Before she could finish speaking, she was swept by a gust of wind towards the wall, letting out a muffled groan before collapsing to the ground, her life hanging in the balance.
General Bude hesitated to speak, but ultimately remained silent.
After Yalin's revelations, he felt a sense of disappointment and frustration towards the young emperor.
After activating the Supreme Imperial Arms, his feelings were mixed, and he no longer had the idea of fighting desperately to defend the rights of the young emperor.
Moreover, his clan of military generals were not allowed to interfere in politics, so General Bude decided to remain neutral.
Just like the struggle for the throne among the emperor's sons after the late emperor's death, he kept to his duty and never got involved.
Therefore, I never suspected that there was something more to it.
Moreover, with Prince Yalin's methods, the empire will not be any worse off than before.
If it can restore the empire and make it great again, then changing the person in charge is fine.
Yalin sat on the throne, his gaze sweeping over the officials below.
"A new era is about to begin for the empire. Who is in favor? Who is opposed?"
For a moment, everyone fell silent, and then one figure after another knelt down on the ground, even General Bude was no exception.
The entire court was filled with submission.
......
The empire has changed!
As the warm sun rose, the people of the capital city deeply understood this point.
General Bud's personal guards reappeared on the streets, but this time on a smaller scale than in the previous days.
Tens of thousands of legions arrived in an orderly fashion in the area where nobles and officials lived, and began a merciless sweep.
They stormed into luxurious mansions, ignoring the screams and wails of the inhabitants, grabbed the owners, and dragged them back to makeshift prisons.
No matter their identity or status, nothing could make these soldiers hesitate in the slightest.
Even nobles who keep their own private armies are no match for the regular army, let alone the empire's most elite troops.
Many nobles and officials, seeing the situation was dire, tried to flee, only to find that the capital had been sealed off and heavily guarded, making escape virtually impossible.
After all, above the capital, a group of dangerous flying creatures are specially raised using Imperial Arms, making them absolutely fearsome to anyone in terms of air force.
Ordinary people were filled with anxiety, fearing impending doom, only to find that the Imperial Guard paid them no heed.
Even those of questionable character were instantly killed by an unknown force. This act of killing one to warn a hundred silenced all the soldiers, who dared not act recklessly again.
It wasn't until late afternoon that definite news arrived: a coup had taken place in the empire.
The ministers were executed, and the fate of the former young emperor remains unknown. The new emperor, named Yalin, is the elder brother of the current emperor. He is extremely ruthless in dealing with evildoers and was once known as Yama, the King of Hell.
Yama?
With the turmoil in the north, the people of the capital were no strangers to this title.
