Willing to remain loyal to Heavenly Locust at all times.
A few inside people who Xiu Xin had turned were just about to open the door, causing chaos, when they were shot dead by their own men.
Then the police and Kudaka Taichiro's men exchanged fire.
So not everything goes according to plan; sometimes unexpected changes can happen.
At this moment, it depends on one's improvisation.
"Use artillery fire." Watching as the gate before him remained unconquered, Kudaka Taichiro gritted his teeth and said.
Ah, this is the demeanor the army should have.
Shell the Imperial Palace? The deputy unit leader was startled and quickly wanted to advise his superior, "Unit leader..."
"Follow orders!" Kudaka Taichiro interrupted him.
He must quickly seize the Imperial Palace to control Heavenly Locust.
The deputy unit leader immediately went to execute: "Yes!"
Quickly, a cannon was brought up, and as soon as the shells were loaded, a loud bang ensued. The tightly closed door was blasted into pieces, and many police officers blocking the door were killed instantly, or fell to the ground crying in agony.
"Charge! Banzai!" Kudaka Taichiro shouted, drawing his command sword and pointing it forward.
"Banzai!" "Banzai!" "Banzai!"
The soldiers behind him wildly poured into the Imperial Palace, shooting down any resisting police along the way.
Blood trickled, staining the entrance of the palace red.
The scent of blood and gunpowder intermingled, assaulting the senses.
Kudaka Taichiro hurriedly called to report the victory.
Xiu Xin, who had been tense, finally let out a genuine sigh of relief after receiving good news from various places. He slammed the table with his hands and stood up from his chair, laughing heartily.
"Hahahaha! Hahahahahaha!"
After hanging up all the calls, he laughed madly in his study, tears streaming down his face.
"Madam, sorry, you cannot enter."
Outside the study, Jin Yucheng spoke with a difficult tone.
"Move aside! This is my house, what is he doing in there? Xiu Xin, open the door quickly! Did you hear, there seemed to be a big explosion outside just now."
Asai Ayumi shouted, banging on the door.
Xiu Xin abruptly opened the door, hugged Asai Ayumi, and kissed her fiercely, "Wait for me at home."
After saying that, he hurried downstairs.
As the meritorious hero who protected the nation and restored peace, he now had to rush to the Imperial Palace to meet Heavenly Locust.
Asai Ayumi, somewhat stunned, followed him downstairs. Only after the villa door opened did she realize that the outside was filled with soldiers.
Hundreds of soldiers blocked the entire street, gun barrels gleaming under the night, silently standing until they saw Xiu Xin and collectively stood at attention, saluting.
Xiu Xin immediately got into a military vehicle.
Asai Ayumi wanted to follow but was blocked by the soldiers.
"Xiu Xin, what on earth is going on?"
Feeling frightened and anxious, Asai Ayumi shouted at Xiu Xin from the door.
"Good news, wait for me at home." Xiu Xin smiled and responded from the car before saying, "Drive."
The vehicle started, followed closely by two vehicles full of soldiers, responsible for his safety.
Asai Ayumi stood at the door in a daze momentarily, then hurriedly turned to call and understand the situation. Through pieced-together information, she roughly understood what had happened and stood there blankly.
After a long while, she muttered, "Baka."
That fool is still as bold as ever.
She was really going to become the Prime Minister's wife.
......
Xiu Xin headed straight for the Imperial Palace, which was now under Kudaka Taichiro's control, with soldiers stationed at every exit and key path, armed and on guard.
"Salute!"
"Salute!"
As Xiu Xin entered the Imperial Palace, soldiers saluted him all along the way. He did not respond, his eyes filled with an undeniable excitement as he walked briskly inside.
"Sir, the entire Heavenly Locust family is inside."
Kudaka Taichiro jogged out to lead the way for him.
Xiu Xin entered a reception room and saw the Heavenly Locust family sitting inside, looking frightened.
"Mr. Aoyama, how could you do such a thing! You are rebelling! You will become a national criminal!" The Crown Prince, who had met Xiu Xin a few times, questioned him with anger and disappointment upon seeing him.
The Crown Princess Consort pulled his sleeve anxiously, signaling him not to say anything further.
Xiu Xin ignored him and walked straight to the elderly Heavenly Locust, bowing, "Your Majesty, forgive the fright. Xiao Quanyi colluded with external forces intending to control your Majesty and grasp power. I have already arrested him and his accomplices. You and the royal family members are now safe. Next, please issue three edicts: first, to punish Xiao Quanyi; second, to appoint me as the Prime Minister to oversee all matters."
"You are dreaming! You are dreaming! The royal family can be killed but not humiliated! We will absolutely not comply!" The ignored Crown Prince, even more furious, stood up and shouted angrily.
"Smack!" Xiu Xin backhanded a slap, knocking him to the ground, then turned back, looking gently and respectfully at Heavenly Locust, saying: "Your Majesty, you haven't spoken yet, the Crown Prince overstepped a bit, I taught him on your behalf. This is what a subject should do."
The Heavenly Locust, full of shock and fear in his eyes, looked at the daring traitor before him, nodded slowly after a moment of silence, "Fine, do as you say."
Seeing clearly that Xiu Xin dared even to stage a coup, he thought if he did not comply, he might end up dying here today, which was not worth it.
Regardless of who becomes the Prime Minister and wields power, it does not affect their royal family's lavish living; after all, they never had actual power. As long as they can preserve their lives and their luxury and wealth, it is fine.
