Gods, I am the ancient Greek god of joy

Chapter 259 Ascension to the throne

"I hope Your Majesty will punish the traitor Wei Yuan. The Wei family has colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, plotting to murder the king. They deserve death!"

Queen Wei was dead. These were his last words left in the imperial court. No one had expected that the Wei siblings, who had always been in cahoots with each other, would commit such a ridiculous act. However, the death of Queen Wei and these words before her death directly nailed the Wei family to the side of the rebels.

Zagreus looked at the helpless old men below and said indifferently: "Queen Wei is so righteous that she is willing to die to expose the Wei family. In this case, Wang Shun! According to the laws of our dynasty, how should we deal with her?"

"According to the law, he should be executed! All nine generations of his clan should be exterminated!" Wang Shun stood up. He had not seen the content of the law yet, but based on what he had seen in previous TV dramas, he thought it was probably about the same.

At this time, Wei Yuan burst into laughter: "Feng Ji, no matter how eloquent you are, I will take the throne today. Don't forget that Cen Gongfeng is watching here. If you don't want to anger the Longyuan Dynasty, I advise you to give up the throne as soon as possible!"

As Wei Yuan spoke, he looked around, but Cen Chun, who had been hiding, was nowhere to be seen, which made him panic. Seeing Zagreus smiling but not saying anything, Wei Yuan realized something and pointed at him and said, "What did you do to Cen Gongfeng? He is a distinguished guest of the Longyuan Dynasty. If we anger the Longyuan Dynasty, all the people of Nanzhao will die!"

At this time, many of the noble families who were sitting on the fence were also a little panicked. The Longyuan Dynasty was already dissatisfied with the Nanzhao Kingdom. If something happened to the tribute sent out now, the other party would really have a reason to take action. When the nest is overturned, the eggs will be broken. Some people who were on good terms with Wei Yuan jumped out and began to accuse Zagreus, asking him to hand over the tribute Cen as soon as possible.

Zagreus looked at the faces of the people in the audience, stood up and walked down the stairs. When Wei Yuan saw that he was coming towards him, he knew that he was in trouble and wanted to fly away immediately, but no matter how fast he was, Wang Shun was waiting for him. Before he flew a meter, Wei Yuan felt his shoulders sink, and then he was pressed to the ground by a huge force. Wang Shun glanced at him, then scanned the people in the audience. When he saw that they had all quieted down, he asked: "Where are you going, General Wei? How can you move without permission before His Majesty has spoken!"

Wei Yuan was also very shocked at this time. Where did this ruthless person come from? The one who could easily suppress him must be another master of Hedao period. Are there many Hedao period masters on the streets now? And the Cen Gongsheng, who he had invited at a high price, had not come out yet. It seemed that he was really in trouble.

Wei Yuan tried his best to break free from Wang Shun's hands, but it was of no avail. He could clearly feel that those hands were like iron clamps, tightly gripping his shoulders, making it impossible for him to even get up.

"Are you dead? Why don't you come out!"

Wei Yuan was also anxious, and hurriedly scolded his confidants, but when he glanced over, he found that these people were just looking at him with a cold gaze. Even his most trusted deputy had a weird smile on his face. As for the other court officials, they were either powerless civil officials or low-level warriors. Wei Yuan was probably the strongest in Nanzhao Kingdom now. These people were all shrewd people. When they saw that the men brought by Wei Yuan were motionless, they knew that something must have happened, so no one dared to be the first to stand out.

"It was you. When did you do anything to my people?"

Wei Yuan seemed to understand something at that moment. He immediately turned around and looked at the boy who was only about ten years old on the steps. He had carefully planned and considered any possible accidents, but he had never thought that he would fall into the hands of such a baby, especially since Zagros looked at him with cold eyes, which did not look like a child's gaze at all.

"No! You are not Crown Prince Fengji. He cannot possibly have such a high level of cultivation. You are the traitor. The real Crown Prince has been killed by this man. Do you want to help the tyrant?"

Wei Yuan shouted at the court officials below at the top of his lungs, but everyone he saw lowered their eyes. Now he was at the mercy of others. Even if this prince was not him, and was not essentially the same as you, Wei Yuan, and whether he was a traitor or not, it was obvious that he had the greatest chance of winning. They could hardly save themselves, so you, Wei Yuan, had better wish yourself good luck.

Zagreus looked at Wei Yuan below, stood up from the dragon throne, and walked closer step by step. Each step seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force, making the air around Wei Yuan seem to solidify. Wei Yuan widened his eyes. This Crown Prince really wanted to attack him. Suddenly, an indescribable fear surged in his heart. Although Fengji was just a child at this time, he stood there like an unshakable god, exuding a suffocating breath.

"You, you can't kill me! The Nanzhao army is all my people. I have stationed a large number of troops outside the city. If I die here today, the army will break into the imperial city tomorrow. As long as..."

Wei Yuan shouted at the top of his lungs, but before he could finish his words, Zagreus placed his hand on the top of his head. In an instant, a biting chill surged into his heart, making Wei Yuan tremble all over.

Zagros just turned his wrist slightly, and Wei Yuan's neck made a crisp "crack" sound. The sound of dislocated bones resounded throughout the hall. Everyone present was terrified and dared not breathe. At this moment, Zagros looked at the people below the stage expressionlessly, and casually took the handkerchief handed to him by Wang Shun. After wiping his hands, he threw the handkerchief on Wei Yuan's face.

"Does anyone still have doubts?"

A clear child's voice sounded, but everyone below couldn't help but shudder and buried their heads deeper. Warriors had seen many killings, but when they saw a ten-year-old child killing people so casually, an inexplicable fear would surge from the bottom of their hearts.

Zagreus was very satisfied with the silence of the crowd. He glanced around and fixed his eyes on the man who had stood up for Wei Yuan before. He pointed at him and said, "You, come here!"

The man had been trying to hide behind the crowd, but Zagreus pushed him and a large area of ​​space was cleared around him. Seeing this, his legs softened and he knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, saying, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life. I was so careless before because of Wei Yuan. Now that Wei Yuan is dead, I will naturally serve Your Majesty as my master. Please spare my life!"

Wang Shun said, "Your Majesty asked you to come over, so come over now. What are you talking about?"

This man was also a military commander, with some accomplishments. He knew that the prince wanted to make trouble for him. At this time, there were still many military commanders in the hall who were Wei Yuan's confidants. They retreated towards the gate while shouting, "Don't hesitate, everyone. Now that the commander is dead, Feng Ji is clearly trying to kill us all today. Instead of waiting to die, we might as well work together to fight our way out. As long as one of us can escape from here, we can immediately gather the army to destroy the palace!"
