After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

The officials looked at each other, each seeing the cold sweat on the other's forehead.

It was Prince Yiyang who spoke first, "I wonder who painted this auspicious mark on His Majesty's forehead? It's so lifelike."

After saying that, he gave a dry laugh twice, as if to ease the tension.

Yin Mo said, "Uncle, you are mistaken. The blessing mark on my forehead is genuine."

Prince Yiyang exclaimed in surprise, "What does Your Majesty mean by this?!"

"Do you, my beloved ministers, not understand what I mean?" Yin Mo smiled faintly, lifting his imperial robe to reveal a soft undergarment.

His lower abdomen was slightly protruding, which was especially noticeable without the cover of the imperial robe.

"Look, this is my offspring." The emperor touched his lower abdomen, adjusted his imperial robe, and spoke slowly, "Whether he is a young man or a boy, he will be the crown prince of my Great Yin in the future."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

Then, someone spoke in a trembling voice: "What! The emperor of our Great Yin Dynasty is actually a boy?"

An old minister spoke up, "Ah...this is Heaven's misfortune against our Great Yin!"

"It's a boy... How could the Emperor be a boy...?"

"This guy has some nerve! He actually dares to deceive the whole world!"

Some were shocked, some were disappointed, some were indignant, some were heartbroken, and some regretted their actions.

Yin Mo sat in a high position, watching this scene with great interest.

He observed the expressions on everyone's faces in the Golden Palace, awaiting the final judgment.

The Golden Palace was noisy and bustling, with different voices mixed together, making it even more lively than a busy market.

At this moment, someone said, "The Great Yin Dynasty must not allow a young man to run rampant."

"Pull him down!"

"Our Great Yin Dynasty must never allow a mere boy to hold power!"

"He is not fit to be emperor!"

"Get down!"

"Get down here!"

Seeing that the courtiers were getting more and more agitated, and some were even walking towards the throne, Xiao Anzi scrambled to block Yin Mo's path.

"Outrageous! You, do you intend to rebel?!"

In the past, Eunuch An was a favorite of the emperor, and everyone had to give him a smile.

Now, he is nothing more than a powerless eunuch.

"Eunuch!"

"running dog!"

"Get out of here, you rootless thing."

The once refined and gentle civil official now cursed and swore, showing no trace of decorum.

The military officers were even more direct; they rolled up their sleeves and wanted to remove Yin Mo from the throne.

Yin Mo clapped his hands, and the civil and military officials fell silent upon hearing the applause.

Seeing that the Golden Palace had fallen silent, Yin Mo looked around and asked, "Pull me down? Ha, if I'm down, who do you plan to appoint as emperor?"

The group looked at each other, suddenly feeling somewhat bewildered.

The old emperor had many sons, but few survived. In addition, several others failed in their struggle for the throne. Now, the only one who can be considered the legitimate heir is Yin Cheng, the Ninth Prince, who disappeared three years ago at the Wuding River.

At this moment, King Yiyang coughed, drawing everyone's attention.

Some exclaimed, "Isn't Prince Yiyang a legitimate member of the royal family?"

"After all, they are all descendants of the founding emperor, and Prince Yiyang also has the blood of the Yin family flowing in his veins!"

"If you ask me, why not enthrone Prince Yiyang?"

"Support Prince Yiyang!"

Yin Mo asked, "It seems that the Imperial Uncle is quite popular. What are your thoughts on this, Imperial Uncle?"

King Yiyang lowered his eyes. "Gentlemen, you flatter me. Although I am a descendant of the Yin family and rightfully inherit the throne, I have always felt that if my ninth nephew were still alive, he would be the best candidate to succeed me."

"But then again, my dear nephew, you have dared to be so audacious as to deceive the world; you truly deserve to die!"

Yin Mo said, "So, Uncle, you think you're determined to get my position?"

Before King Yiyang could speak, a guard outside the palace suddenly reported that enemy troops had entered the palace.

Upon hearing this, everyone panicked.

With internal troubles still unresolved and external threats arising, even the question of whether they can return home alive has become a problem.

Just when everyone was in a panic, only Prince Yiyang curled the corners of his mouth.

He originally planned to wait until he killed Yin Mo and obtained the Golden Guard's military token before quelling the unrest in Huzhou, at which point his throne would be secure.

Now, with the addition of Tian Hai as a variable, it was unexpected that this peasant who had barely read a book for more than a few days would actually build an invincible army of ghost-faced soldiers.

But this would be even better. He only needs to take advantage of these two men's power, wait for them to usurp the throne, and then eliminate them. He can then use the tactic of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, and all the civil and military officials will naturally support him as emperor.

Either way, it's a sure thing to make a profit.

He huddled in a corner, waiting to reap the benefits.

Surrounded by the Ghost Face Army, Tian Hai entered the Golden Palace.

Twenty years ago, he was just a peasant struggling to make a living in the fields in the countryside, but now, he is about to become the emperor of the entire Great Yin Dynasty!

"Who are you!" an official asked.

Tian Hai sneered, "Your grandfather is your father."

The questioning official: "..." This person seems a bit mentally unstable; even if he were cured, he would still drool.

Yin Mo spotted Pang Hong behind Tian Hai at a glance. Anyone with eyes could see that Pang Hong was also plotting to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Who would choose to hand over the throne when they could become emperor themselves?

But Tian Hai was completely oblivious.

The enormous profits and recent victories had clouded his judgment, making him careless and timid.

He became arrogant and complacent.

"From today onwards, I'm in charge here. Anyone who dares to disobey will face certain death." Tian Hai stepped onto the throne. "You, too, have to make way for me."

Yin Mo said, "I can give it to you, but there is still something I don't understand, and I would appreciate it if you, the new emperor, could enlighten me."

Tian Hai was pleased by the address of the new emperor and said, "Go on."

Yin Mo said, "If you want to be emperor, having the throne alone is not enough; you also need officials to do things for you."

Tian Hai touched his double chin. "You're right."

Yin Mo said, "Why don't you ask any of these court officials if they are willing to follow you?"

"Da Hu, go and kill all those officials who are unwilling to follow me and my lord."

Yin Cheng clasped his hands in acceptance of the order, but remained silent. Holding his knife, he led the way to the official who usually liked to impeach him, ready to settle a personal score.

To everyone's surprise, the official was quite defiant. "These days, it seems like any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to plot to usurp the throne. This fat pig of a man, dreaming of becoming emperor? He should take a good look at himself in the mirror. Bah! Dreaming of being emperor? Keep dreaming!"

"How dare I, a mere Grand Censor, be threatened by a fat pig like you? If you have the guts, kill me. If you can't, then prepare to be written into history and be infamous for eternity."

It's confirmed. We can barely be considered one of our own. It wasn't that we were targeting him before; we were just treating everyone at Chuangfei equally.

Yin Cheng raised his knife with one hand, and just as he was about to strike, a small pebble struck the Imperial Censor's pressure point, causing him to faint.

To the others, it was as if the Imperial Censor had been killed by Yin Cheng, and they all fell silent.

These masked soldiers are truly terrifying!
