Chapter 1163 - 266: Rebellion_3
Xiao Yong led his troops over when Xiao Guangjing’s men had already launched a counterattack; caught between the two forces, victory soon followed.
"Father! Are you alright?" Xiao Yong stepped forward to greet him.
Xiao Guangjing smiled and helped him up, "Thankfully you arrived, Yongyong. Your father is unharmed!"
"That’s good!" Xiao Yong nodded, "Brother-in-law Qin has already taken the Palace and obtained the Grand Empress Dowager’s decree of succession; please, Father, go and receive the decree!"
When Xiao Guangjing saw him, he knew Mo Heng had succeeded. Upon hearing the news, his face lit up with joy, "Let’s enter the Palace!" He immediately followed with Xiao Yong and their troops into the Palace.
Seeing him arrive, Mo Heng directly led people forward to greet him, "This humble official pays homage to the New Emperor. My Emperor, long live, long live, long live forever!"
Some deputy generals behind him were still disatisfied; it was the General who commanded them to attack the Palace, and yet this imperial throne was given to Prince Yong’an. Would he treat the General and General Pei well? Would he be a good Emperor? Would he earn the loyalty of these soldiers?
Li Shun and Zhou Jian, among others, also harbored resentments. However, they knew Mo Heng would not claim to be Emperor, and their General was not a man after fame or profit but extremely loyal. Even if General Mo led a rebellion, he would still return the throne and the realm to the Xiao family.
