Chapter 162: Great Zhou Change of Master

As the imperial guards rushed towards the target palace like a torrent, the tension and anticipation in the heart of the Third Prince reached a peak. His eyes were fixed on the magnificent palace, as if he had already seen himself sitting on the dragon throne.

However, he also knew that this battle for the throne would not be easy. After all, there were many guards and maids in the palace who were loyal to the emperor, and they would certainly fight back. But the third prince was fully prepared, and he believed that his imperial guards could overcome all obstacles.

When the imperial guards rushed to the palace gate, they were blocked by a group of guards. But the imperial guards were in high spirits. They brandished their weapons and started a fierce battle with the guards. The battlefield was filled with swords and sabers, and the sound of killing shook the sky. The two sides fought back and forth, and the battle was difficult to resolve.

The Third Prince watched the battle nervously from the sidelines, silently praying that the Imperial Guards would win. Finally, after a fierce battle, the Imperial Guards gradually gained the upper hand, and the guards began to retreat.

"Charge! For the Third Prince, for our future!" The general of the Imperial Guards shouted inspiring slogans and led the soldiers into the palace like a tide. The Third Prince followed closely behind, his eyes determined, and stepped into the palace he had always dreamed of.

The palace was magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings, showing the majesty and dignity of the imperial power everywhere. However, the third prince had no intention of appreciating these at the moment, and his eyes went straight to Emperor Rentong who was sitting on the dragon throne.

Emperor Rentong's face turned pale, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, but was soon covered by anger. He slapped the armrest of the dragon throne, stood up, pointed at the third prince and cursed: "You rebellious son, how dare you rebel! Where do you put the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, and between father and son? Where do you put the people of the world?"

The Third Prince listened to Emperor Rentong's rebuke expressionlessly, but his heart was surging. He knew that his behavior might be against the rules between the monarch and his subjects, but for the sake of his ambitions and ideals, he had to do so.

"Father," the Third Prince took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "I am not rebelling for personal gain, but for the people of the world. You have neglected government affairs in recent years, causing the country to decline. I cannot bear to see the people suffer, so I decided to step forward and save the country from danger."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Rentong was so angry that he trembled all over. He roared, "Nonsense! You, a rebellious son, are clearly rebelling for your own throne! How dare you say you are doing this for the sake of the people of the world?"

The third prince remained silent. He turned around and signaled to the commander of the imperial guards to prepare for action.

The commander of the imperial guards understood what was meant. He waved his weapon and shouted an order: "Take down the old emperor and enthrone the third prince as the new emperor!" The voice echoed in the palace with an irresistible force.

Following this order, the well-trained imperial guards rushed forward like thunder and surrounded Emperor Rentong. Their actions were swift and decisive, showing their absolute loyalty to the Third Prince.

Emperor Rentong was stunned by this sudden change. He stared at the third prince angrily, his eyes full of disappointment and confusion. However, facing the siege of many imperial guards, he knew that he had no way to escape and could only surrender.

The Third Prince looked at the subdued Emperor Rentong, with mixed emotions in his heart. He knew that he would be charged with treason from now on and be reviled by the world.

But at the same time, he also felt an unprecedented excitement and anticipation. He was about to ascend the throne and realize his ambitions and aspirations.

At this moment, the Third Prince's mood was like a roller coaster. Guilt and uneasiness were like dark shadows, shrouding his heart, making him doubt his choice. But at the same time, expectation and longing were like a bright light, illuminating his way forward and filling him with hope for the future.

However, he knew that since he had made his choice, he could not turn back. He had to keep going, no matter if there were thorns or sunshine ahead. The third prince stood on a high place in the palace, overlooking the entire palace, with a surge of lofty ambitions in his heart.

The atmosphere in the palace was so tense that it seemed as if a string could break at any moment. The Third Prince took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil. He knew that what he was going to do next would be an earth-shaking change.

"Begin the cleanup!" Following the Third Prince's order, the Imperial Guards quickly moved like a sword drawn from its sheath. They eliminated the political enemies and disobedients one by one, and a bloody storm immediately ensued in the Imperial Palace.

As the cleanup progressed, the atmosphere in the palace became increasingly tense. Every corner was filled with uncertainty, and the imperial guards moved quickly and decisively, shuttling through the corridors and courtyards of the palace.

Their footsteps echoed in the empty palace with an irresistible force. Their targets were the ministers and princes who were considered to be dissidents of the Third Prince.

They arrived at the residence of a Minister of War. The door of the residence was closed, but the imperial guards kicked it open without hesitation. Then, they poured into the residence like a tide and quickly took control of the entire residence.

The Minister of War was awakened from his sleep, and before he could react, he was firmly held down by several imperial guards. His eyes were filled with fear and confusion, but at this moment, he could only let the imperial guards do whatever they wanted.

Then, the imperial guards headed towards the prince's residence. Although the prince had heard the news, he had no choice but to surrender. When the imperial guards broke into the room, they saw the prince sitting quietly at his desk, as if he was waiting for this moment. The prince did not resist, but stood up silently and let the imperial guards take him away.

Such scenes were constantly played out throughout the palace. The imperial guards arrested the ministers and princes who were considered threats one by one at lightning speed. Their actions were swift and decisive, without any delay.

Some of the captured ministers and princes were terrified, some were silent, and some looked unwilling. However, no matter how they reacted, they could not change their fate of being captured. At this moment, they seemed to have become lambs to be slaughtered, and could only be slaughtered.

This arrest operation in the palace was like a sudden storm that swept across the entire court, and the ministers and princes who were captured became victims of this storm.
