Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"How did you know we would be here?" Wan Sanqian asked in surprise.

He brought Haitang to Tianxia Diyi Zhuang, but he didn't tell anyone. He didn't expect Xiang Nan to come so quickly.

"As a secret agent of the palace, I always have some skills that others don't have." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Sorry, Mr. Wan, I have to take Haitang away."

"I was poisoned by Shixiang Cartilage Powder. Now I am weak and powerless. It's hard for me to even walk." Haitang said at this time, "Mr. Wan, can you give me the antidote first?"

"At this point, can I still say 'no'?" Wan Sanqian took out the antidote for Shixiang Cartilage Powder, "Haitang, please believe me, I don't really want to hurt you."

"I know, thank you, Mr. Wan." Haitang nodded, took the antidote, and then left with Xiang Nan.

"Mr. Wan, I kindly remind you that you must not believe anything the Lord of God says. He wants to get rid of us, who are as close as father and son to him. Do you think that after you support him to ascend the throne, he will really fulfill his promise and let you take charge of the financial power for him?" Before leaving, Xiang Nan looked at Wan Sanqian and said, "How can I allow others to snore beside my bed? When he officially ascends the throne, you will be just a lamb to be slaughtered."

"How do you know?" Wan Sanqian was surprised to hear Xiang Nan say this.

He had never told anyone about the behind-the-scenes deal with the Lord of God, and he didn't expect Xiang Nan to know about it.

Xiang Nan didn't answer, took Haitang and left directly.

...

The two then returned to the ruined temple and gathered with Duan Tianya, Cheng Shifei and others.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault, you despicable villain, a coward. Why did you only save me and not the emperor and the queen mother?" After meeting, Princess Yunluo was the first to get angry.

If Xiang Nan hadn't hit her acupoints, she would have been able to rescue the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

Xiang Nan ignored her and looked at everyone and said, "Let's discuss what to do next? Should we go our separate ways and retire to the countryside, or stand up and stop the Godly Marquis?"

Not to mention that Yun Luo is already an outdated princess, even if she is still popular now, Xiang Nan has no respect for her. After all, he has been the emperor, so what is a princess? Don't even think about using him like a dog.

"Although the Godly Marquis has crossed the river and destroyed the bridge, he has saved us, raised us, and taught us before. Now I really can't oppose him.

But I don't want to help the tyrant and continue to work for him, so I want to retire now." Haitang said.

"The Godly Marquis and I have settled our grievances. From now on, I don't owe him any favors, and I don't want to deal with him anymore. I want to take Piaoxu and Lang'er away and never ask about the affairs of the world again." Duan Tianya also said.

"I think the same as you two." Xiang Nan said, "It doesn't matter who is the emperor to the people. Because whether it's the God or the emperor, they don't think about the people, but themselves. In this case, why should we stop it? Haitang, let's go back to Shuiyue Temple."

Haitang nodded.

There are three places where she has lived the happiest in her life, one is Haijiabao, the second is Hulong Villa, and the third is Shuiyue Temple.

Now Haijiabao has become a ruin, Hulong Villa has also fallen, and only Shuiyue Temple still retains its original intention.

"You are too selfish! You only care about yourselves. Don't forget that you are the secret agents of Hulong Villa. Long is the emperor. He is in danger now, but you don't care?" Yunluo County Lord scolded.

"You are selfish. We were imprisoned and almost died." Piaoxu saw her say this and couldn't help but retorted, "What's wrong with us just wanting to live a stable life? Why do we have to fight for your power?"

Cheng Shifei was embarrassed.

He didn't dare to confront Shen Hou, but Yunluo was his wife, the emperor was his brother-in-law, and the queen mother was his mother-in-law, so he couldn't just ignore it.

The key point is that he has now used up all five chances of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art. Without the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, his strength is probably not even comparable to Haitang.

Under such circumstances, if he goes to the palace to save the emperor and the queen mother, it will be a futile effort, not to mention a life-or-death struggle.

"Okay, don't argue anymore, verbal disputes are futile." Xiang Nan waved his hand and suggested, "Princess, I can only promise you that I will help you rescue the emperor and the queen mother after the abdication ceremony. If you agree, then I will stay. If you don't agree, then I can't do anything."

Princess Yunluo was stunned, then nodded, "Okay, as long as my brother and mother are safe. I don't care about anything else."

"Okay, then I will stay too." Haitang nodded.

"I..." Duan Tianya hesitated for a moment, looked at Piaoxu and said, "Piaoxu, let me do this last thing, okay?"

Although Piaoxu was unwilling, she was just an ordinary woman now, she just wanted to live a peaceful life with her husband and children, and she didn't have any ideals of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

But since Duan Tianya said so, she had to nod her head.

...

Five days later, Shen Hou and Emperor Zhengde officially held the abdication ceremony at the Temple of Heaven.

Emperor Zhengde was naturally very reluctant, but all the civil and military officials, local officials, and even the ten generals forced him to abdicate, and no one stood on his side.

Because those who were willing to stand on his side had been killed by Shen Hou. For example, Fu Daxueshi, who was in charge of the Censorate, had always been loyal and was also the most trusted person by the emperor.

When Shen Hou got rid of Cao Zhengchun and forced the palace step by step, it was Fu Daxueshi who was responsible for contacting the ministers and trying to stop Shen Hou. But unfortunately, this loyal minister still died at the hands of an assassin in the end.

After the death of Fu Daxueshi, few people dared to resist Shen Hou in the court.

After all, Shen Hou had already mastered the military and financial power, and had obtained the privacy of the civil and military officials in the court. If they did not support Shen Hou, their end would be miserable.

Therefore, under such pressure, Emperor Zhengde could only hold the abdication ceremony and give the throne to Shen Hou.

Otherwise, he did not want to be decent, and Shen Hou would do it for him.

Shen Hou told him that if he abdicated properly, he would be given a fiefdom after abdication and let him live out his life in the south.

Otherwise, he would send someone to disguise himself as the emperor to abdicate, and directly imprison the real emperor to death.

Anyway, the disguise technique was not rare, and the court officials did not need to distinguish whether the person on the stage was the real Emperor Zhengde.

Anyway, the abdication ceremony was just a play. As long as you put on the dragon robe, you are the emperor. Who cares whether it is true or false?

Emperor Zhengde did not want to be imprisoned to death, so he could only agree.

So the Fengshan ceremony was officially held in the Temple of Heaven.

The entire court, including civil and military officials, high-ranking officials from all sides, and even the ten generals, about a thousand people gathered at the Temple of Heaven to watch the abdication ceremony.

…

While the gods were holding the abdication ceremony at the Temple of Heaven, Xiang Nan, Haitang and others also sneaked into the palace to prepare to rescue the empress dowager.
