After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife asked for forgiveness

Chapter 566: A Coup

at the same time.

Inside the Ye family's main hall, various powerful families and renowned sects from all over the country gathered.

Ye Batian sat in the main seat of the palace, while the heads of various families sat in two rows.

At the head of the two rows were Ye Xinyi and Liu Chuanhong, the head of the Liu family. Standing next to Liu Chuanhong was Liu Qingshan.

They came to the Ye family together today to discuss the matter of the Ye family's heir.

"Brother Ye, please heed my advice. Ye Feng's return is indeed a blessing for the Ye family, but we must never make him our heir. That would be a grave taboo." It was Liu Chuanhong who spoke.

His voice was mournful as he earnestly offered his advice.

A middle-aged man in his fifties, dressed in a Tang suit, also spoke up: "That's right, Emperor Ye. Although Ye Feng is an innocent person, he is, after all, that person's son. If you make him the crown prince, what will the world think?"

Back then, Ye Wudi slaughtered his compatriots with brutal methods, which aroused the people's condemnation and almost overthrew the Ye family's regime. It was only when the major families joined forces with the Ye family to start the war against demons that Ye Wudi was finally killed.

That's how the Ye family's regime was stabilized.

Although so many years have passed, the people's resentment towards Ye Wudi still remains. If Ye Wudi's son is made the successor, it will likely reignite the anger in the hearts of the people.

"I understand your concerns, but no one can shake my decision. There is only one heir to the Ye family, and that is Ye Feng."

Ye Batian's voice was strong and his expression was firm.

Firstly, it was to make up for the harm done to Ye Feng over the years; secondly, Ye Feng was more capable than any other member of the Ye family.

However, as soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the family heads present immediately darkened.

However, due to Ye Huang's intimidating power, they dared not say anything more, even if they were unwilling.

"Emperor Ye".

At this moment, a young man spoke up.

He was Liu Qingshan.

"Does Emperor Ye intend to make an enemy of the world? Do you know that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it?"

"Moreover, there are many hidden sects within the Great Xia Dynasty. They don't usually participate in the struggle for power, but if the Ye family does something against the will of the people, these hidden sects will definitely not sit idly by!"

Although Liu Qingshan's tone was gentle, his words were quite sharp.

It appears to be a reminder, but it is actually a warning.

"You scoundrel!" Liu Chuanhong immediately scolded, "How dare you speak to Emperor Ye like that?"

Although the Liu family is an ancient martial arts family, they are not yet capable of challenging the Ye family.

"I think Young Master Liu is right. It's rare to have eliminated Ye Badao. If Ye Feng is made crown prince, the Ye family's regime will definitely be thrown into turmoil again. This is not what we want to see. Please, Emperor Ye, think it over!"

"Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"

"Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"

"..."

Liu Qingshan's words were widely accepted by the heads of various families.

With him taking the lead, the heads of various families tried to persuade him, but their attitudes were firm.

Ye Xinyi, standing to the side, was furious. "You ungrateful wretches, how dare you point at my brother? On the day Ye Batian usurped the throne, you were so cowardly you were practically crawling into an ant hole! And your Liu family, why didn't you come out to denounce Ye Batian that day?"

"If it weren't for my brother, my Guanzhong army would have been wiped out long ago."

"If it weren't for my brother, would you still be able to see Ye Huang? Now you're trying to kick me away after I've served my purpose, aren't you?"

"I, Ye Xinyi, am making this clear: anyone who dares to oppose Ye Feng as the successor is going against me, Ye Xinyi, and I don't care which family head you are!"

His voice was booming, and his eyes were sharp.

The heads of the various families were immediately terrified and fell silent.

However, Liu Qingshan remained unfazed. "General Xinyi is right. We are all grateful for Ye Feng's contributions, but one thing is one thing. He is Ye Wudi's son, so he is destined not to be the head of the Ye family."

"Say that again!" Ye Xinyi slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

Liu Qingshan also stood up, "Others may be afraid of you, Ye Xinyi, but I'm not."

The atmosphere instantly became tense, and Liu Qingshan's momentum was in no way inferior to Ye Xinyi's intimidation.

With the Liu family and hidden sects as his backers, he naturally had plenty of confidence.

"enough!"

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Ye Batian said, "We can discuss the matter of the successor another day. If there's nothing else, you may all return now."

He was determined to pass the position to Ye Feng, but he didn't want to provoke public anger.

We can only wait and think of a solution later.

However, Liu Chuanhong spoke up again, "Brother Ye, actually, there is another matter that I and the heads of various families have come here for."

"Is there anything else?" Ye Batian asked.

"It's true."

Liu Chuanhong said, "We have come here today for Ye Feng. At the suggestion of the major families, we ask Brother Ye to hand over Ye Feng so that the people of the world can deal with him."

Hand over Ye Feng?

What kind of talk is this? Why don't they just fly to the heavens?

Not only was Ye Xinyi furious, but even Ye Batian felt a surge of anger.

If it weren't for Ye Feng, these people would have been dealt with by Ye Badao long ago. Now, not only are they kicking him while he's down, but they're also turning around and biting him.

Is there any more heavenly justice?

"Liu Chuanhong, although you are loyal to the Ye family, allow me to remind you that Ye Feng is my grandson, Ye Batian's grandson, not some random cat or dog on the street. If you say such things again, don't blame me for being ruthless." Ye Batian glared angrily.

Liu Qingshan spoke again, "Emperor Ye, my father was only offering a well-intentioned reminder and did not mean to make things difficult for you. Please reconsider!"

"Please think twice!"

"I urge Emperor Ye to reconsider!"

"..."

One after another, the heads of the household echoed this sentiment.

Liu Chuanhong said, "Brother Ye, have you forgotten what happened twenty years ago? Back then, in order to maintain the Ye family's power, you not only killed that person with your own hands, but also drove Ye Feng and his mother out of the Ye family. Now, all we're asking you to do is hand over Ye Feng. Is that so difficult?"

“That’s right, Emperor Ye.” One of the family heads said, “We don’t want to make things difficult for Young Master Ye. We just want to give the people an explanation. Don’t worry, after we take him away, we will not harm a single hair on his head.”

Faced with the coercion of these people, Ye Batian and Ye Xinyi became increasingly angry.

Speaking of those days, Ye Badao was still filled with regret and wanted to make amends to Ye Feng. How could he possibly hand Ye Feng over to them?

"Ha ha!"

"It seems that my Ye family has lost its prestige in your eyes, is that it? You all dare to band together and threaten me."

Bang!

Ye Xinyi slammed her hand on the armrest of the chair, sending splinters flying. "I'm telling you right now, anyone who dares to mention this matter again will end up like this chair."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden chair shattered instantly, scattering pieces all over the floor.

Its powerful deterrent effect immediately silenced everyone.

However, Liu Qingshan remained unfazed. "Ye Xinyi, stop trying to scare us. We won't leave until you hand over Ye Feng."

at this time.

A powerful voice rang out from outside the palace gates.

"Then don't leave!"

Immediately afterward, Ye Feng quickly walked in from outside the door.

At this moment, Ye Feng appeared extremely excited amidst his anger.
