Invitation declined; Multiverse Mall is now open for business.

"Next, we'll see how things change in the imperial court."

After a quick exchange, the two parted ways, as if they had become strangers.

"Hahaha... Wenyou, look how scared these people are. I had no intention of killing them. They're just like frightened rabbits."

Just then, an extremely arrogant voice rang out.

A tall, stout man with a rough face and a full beard strode confidently toward the main hall of the palace.

This person was Dong Zhuo.

Surrounding him were three thousand Flying Bear soldiers clad in black armor, wielding weapons, and exuding a murderous aura.

Each of them was capable of taking on ten men; they were the true elite of Xiliang.

“Father-in-law, the matter of deposing and establishing an emperor can proceed gradually.”

"We can hold a banquet tomorrow to invite all the officials, test their attitude, and secretly eliminate those who oppose us."

Beside Dong Zhuo stood a thin, frail-looking middle-aged man with a gloomy face, who spoke respectfully about his thoughts.

He was Dong Zhuo's strategist and son-in-law, Li Ru, courtesy name Wenyou.

"Hahaha... Good, I should also learn from Yi Huo and carry out the deposed and installed of emperors."

Dong Zhuo's laughter grew louder, his eyes revealing a deep ambition and desire.

He was willing to learn from Yi Yin and Huo Guang's methods of deposing emperors.

He couldn't learn from the two men who ultimately acted as loyal ministers; he also wanted to be emperor.

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"...

With a metallic clanging sound, Ye Hao finally saw Dong Zhuo's appearance.

Arrogant!

Very arrogant!

Dong Zhuo brazenly surveyed the scene inside the hall, as well as Ye Hao sitting on the dragon throne, without showing the slightest respect.

Three thousand Flying Bear soldiers surrounded the Chongde Hall, and dozens of Xiliang army generals, clad in armor and wielding sharp blades, even entered the hall.

"Something!"

Ye Hao calmly sipped his tea and nodded secretly.

Although Dong Zhuo was arrogant, he was far smarter than General He Jin.

When traveling within the palace, Dong Zhuo was always accompanied by at least several thousand elite soldiers and dozens of generals from the Xiliang army. Unless surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, he could always escape unscathed.

At this time, military power in Luoyang was in the hands of Dong Zhuo. Let alone tens of thousands of men, even gathering a few hundred was a very difficult problem.

If it weren't for Ye Hao's unexpected turn of events, Dong Zhuo's safety would have been as secure as Mount Tai.

"I feel like something's off about the atmosphere today?"

The elderly man standing at the head of the civil officials looked puzzled.

He was Yuan Wei, the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, from the Yuan family, which had produced four generations of high-ranking officials.

"I also feel a bit strange, like something's not quite right."

Grand Physician Yang Biao frowned slightly and murmured.

Soon, the two men, along with the officials in the court, noticed what had gone wrong.

Dong Zhuo remained extremely arrogant.

However, His Majesty has undergone a tremendous change.

According to everyone's perception magic, Ye Hao's appearance was no different from that of Emperor Shao of Han, Liu Bian. However, Ye Hao's temperament had undergone a tremendous change.

Especially when Dong Zhuo led a group of Xiliang generals into the main hall, Ye Hao remained calm as he sipped his tea, a dramatic change in his demeanor.

"How fortunate the man is!"

Ministers such as Lu Zhi and Wang Yun, who received Xun Yu's notification, were moved to tears.

Perhaps the Han Dynasty has finally found hope.

"Father-in-law, His Majesty is acting strangely today."

Li Ru also noticed the emperor's change in an instant and quickly whispered a reminder to Dong Zhuo.

"Whoosh!"

Just as all the court officials were scrutinizing Ye Hao, Ye Hao smiled and threw the teacup in his hand onto the main hall.

"Oh!"

A crisp sound rang out, like an electric current striking everyone's nerves.

"By His Majesty's decree, Dong Zhuo, the traitor, has usurped power and plotted to seize the country; he shall be executed!"

Xun Yu took out the imperial edict from his person and announced it on the spot.

"Gulu~"

The hall was deathly silent. The officials stared in disbelief at Ye Hao, who sat calmly on the dragon throne. Their legs went weak and a chill ran down their spines.

Is this His Majesty?

Is this still the same cowardly child who ascended the throne with the support of General He Jin?

"You're just pretending!"

"Was it all an act before?"

The officials were trembling with fear, but also felt utterly shocked.

He was so cowardly before, but now he's so bold.

With Dong Zhuo holding all the military power in Luoyang, how dare they directly attack Dong Zhuo in the imperial court?

"Bang!", "Bang!", "Bang!"...

Just then, the eunuchs standing on both sides of the main hall quickly closed all the doors of the hall.

"kill!"

Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, who were hiding in the main hall, led a hundred elite soldiers and charged towards Dong Zhuo.

"Quick! Hold them off! Come and save me!"

Dong Zhuo was completely stunned, then his expression turned terrified, and he shouted loudly.

“Father-in-law, our most important task now is to break out of the main hall. There are three thousand Flying Bear Army soldiers outside who can escort you out of the palace.”

"Outside the palace, we have hundreds of thousands of troops, enough to wipe out everything."

Li Ru was also startled, but he didn't panic too much.

"Ah~", "Ah~", "Ah~"...

Just then, inside the court, the trembling officials, as well as Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang generals who were locked in battle with Cao Cao's soldiers, heard screams coming from outside the hall.

"kill!"

Cao Cao remained unmoved, shouted, and charged towards Dong Zhuo.

No matter what happens outside, as long as Dong Zhuo is dead, they have already succeeded more than halfway.

Even if the Xiliang cavalry storms the capital, as long as they protect His Majesty's safe retreat, they are destined to win.

"Bang!", "Bang!", "Bang!"...

Suddenly, inside the main hall, the people who were engaged in fierce fighting discovered that the palace doors had been opened again.

"Hahaha...You little emperor, you actually dared to kill me! You're dead this time."

Dong Zhuo was extremely excited.

It must be that the three thousand Flying Bear soldiers outside heard the commotion and came over.

"Mengde, you protect His Majesty and retreat, while we hold off the Xiliang bandits."

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan's hearts skipped a beat, and they roared in low voices.

"It's over!"

Many of the officials collapsed to the ground, their faces pale and filled with terror.

Child's play!

Your Majesty is being far too frivolous!

Instead of killing Dong Zhuo, they angered him.

Today, probably very few people in the imperial court can actually leave.

Even the emperor might die.

"General Dong, General Dong, I have no idea! I have absolutely no idea!"

"It was Cao Cao, that eunuch, who bewitched His Majesty and instigated the rebellion. I am innocent."

"Please, General Dong, execute Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and their entire families."
