Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

It seems that no matter what, it is impossible to get the best of both worlds.

Yuan Jing pressed his fingertips on both sides of his forehead, and his temples began to ache slightly.

The messy thoughts are entangled in my mind into an unsolvable knot, which becomes more and more tangled the more I try to sort them out.

The two ideas fought in his mind for a long time, and Yuan Jing still couldn't answer the question of "who is on top and who is down".

But there is no doubt that no matter how distressed and entangled he was, he never thought of giving up his feelings for Liu Yao.

But now, he couldn't give a clear answer as to what to do.

The current situation is urgent and Yuan Jing cannot afford to put too much thought into his feelings.

He would temporarily hide his thoughts and wait until he had settled down and no longer needed to worry about his situation before calming down and making a decision.

At present, we should focus on how to kick the current emperor off the throne.

The necessary preparations for the plan were being made step by step, and the right opportunity they had been waiting for soon appeared before the two of them.

Three days ago, the construction of Zhaixing Tower was completed.

The emperor was so happy that he immediately climbed to the top of the highest building to feel the closeness to the immortals.

In order to highlight his presence, the most respected Taoist priest at that time proposed to hold a ceremony to communicate with the gods and pray for the blessing of longevity.

The emperor naturally wanted it very much and changed the time of going up the tower to the next day.

What no one expected was that it rained heavily that night, with lightning and thunder. A huge thunderbolt hit the newly completed Zhaixing Tower.

The Zhaixing Tower is the tallest building in the entire capital city, and is easily targeted by lightning.

When the emperor ordered the construction of the Zhaixing Tower, the time given was extremely tight. The craftsmen worked day and night and finally completed the construction within the specified time.

They had been sleepless for days, their nerves were tense, their minds were confused, and some minor mistakes occurred when installing the lightning protection measures.

Two factors led to this result.

So, the next day, when the emperor was in high spirits and was about to go up the tower, what he saw was the Zhaixing Tower that had been struck by lightning.

It was pitch black, and many parts of it showed signs of being burnt. It didn't look like a place where immortals would descend.

Moreover, if you go up to a Star-Picking Tower rashly, your life safety cannot be guaranteed.

The emperor was so looking forward to going up to the tower to see the immortals, but now the months of waiting turned to ashes at this moment, and his anger reached its peak.

But before the anger, what gathered more in his heart was fear.

Just yesterday I said I would go up to the tower the next day, but it was struck by lightning at night. Could it be that this thunder was the will of the immortals?

He was shocked and frightened, worried that the immortal was angry, so he called out the Taoist priest who had said he would hold a blessing ceremony last night to hold him accountable.

The Taoist priest was a coward with no bottom line. When questioned, he immediately followed the emperor's instructions and dragged out the craftsmen who built the Zhaixing Tower to take the blame.

He didn't know why the lightning struck the Zhaixing Tower, but he had many tricks to pretend and fool people.

After "asking the heaven", the Taoist priest gave the emperor a perfect answer:

The craftsmen were not sincere when they built the Zhaixing Tower, and they were also dissatisfied inside (the wages were pitifully low), which made the immortal angry and dissatisfied.

It is easy to solve the problem. Just kill the sinner to show your respect for the immortal.

The emperor was incompetent before, and now, in his pursuit of immortality, he doesn't care about human life at all.

He was afraid that the immortal would not be willing to forgive him and would not bless him in the future, so he dug up the capital punishment that had been sealed up in the previous dynasty and wanted to severely punish the craftsmen who built the Zhaixing Tower.

The nine clans of those craftsmen were all angered and sentenced to beheading.

The relatives of those craftsmen were all taken to Caishikou for execution.

Hundreds of heads fell, staining the guillotine and the ground bright red. The floor tiles had been washed more than ten times, but blood still seeped out.

Who wouldn’t be scared after seeing that scene? Some timid people had nightmares for several nights after returning home.

The "culprit" suffered an even more miserable end.

They have been left here until today, and in a sacrificial ceremony held by Taoist priests, they are prepared to sacrifice their flesh and blood to the immortals by being "cut into pieces" or "drawn apart by five horses" in an attempt to appease their anger.

Before the sacrifice, in order to show his respect for the immortals, the emperor issued an edict early to spread the matter throughout the country.

The news of the massacre of craftsmen was spread everywhere, and the emperor's tyrannical temperament also reached the ears of people everywhere.

The people were in turmoil, the officials in the court were in panic, and the emperor sitting in a high position was already a cause of fear.

This was a great opportunity for Yuan Jing to take action, and he also had a ready-made excuse - to purge the court of corrupt officials.

The clear one was the treacherous Taoist priest who instigated the king to perform sacrifices.

The day before the sacrifice, Yuan Jing contacted the Duke of Song, while Liu Yao contacted the civil servants who still had some status in the court and were dissatisfied with the current emperor's behavior.

With both civil and military talents available, and with the support of both inside and outside forces, on the day of the sacrifice ceremony, there was little casualty, and the emperor and Tan Fu, who had been guiding the emperor's actions from behind, were captured alive.

Neither Yuan Jing nor Liu Hao expected things to end so quickly.

When they rushed into the palace and went to the sacrificial ceremony to rescue the craftsmen, the emperor called for protection.

Yuan Jing and Liu Hao suffered some minor injuries during the fight, but they didn't care. They had a clear division of labor and cooperated well. One went to capture the emperor, and the other went to rescue the tied-up craftsman.

Gradually, the emperor fell into a disadvantage.

In particular, he did not think he was wrong. At the beginning, there were many people who were fighting hard, but the emperor never cared about the lives of the guards. He would call for killing if he felt that the protection was not good enough.

Those guards who fought desperately felt that their protection was a joke.

Slowly, I gave up resistance.

Not to mention that many of the people who came today were soldiers who were sent back from the border after Duke Song reached a cooperation with Yuan Jing.

Everyone knows what happened to the soldiers on the border because of the emperor's selfish desires.

When a rabbit dies, the fox mourns. They are all guards of the same kind. If they are all like this, will I also end up like this one day in the future?

What's more, the person who came was Yuan Jing, who went in and out of the palace all year round. He was a little arrogant and cold, but his behavior was rational and wise.

Although the prince was transformed from a princess, they would rather have him on the throne than the current emperor.

Thinking of this, the soldiers who were protecting the emperor voluntarily laid down their weapons and armor.

In just one night, the appearance of the capital city changed dramatically.

The emperor believed that he was of poor moral character and "voluntarily" gave up his throne to the eldest prince Yuan Jing.

When the princess became a prince, countless people were surprised and astonished, but most of them did not raise any objections.

The reason is the same as that of those soldiers who abandoned their armor. Compared with the current emperor, the former princess and now the eldest prince Yuan Jing is more suitable for this position.

Just don't look at these, they have no right to say no.

No one knew when the eldest prince had won over the powerful people in the civil and military circles, and he had many supporters. Even if they wanted to oppose him, they were powerless.

Originally, Tan Fu wanted to stop it, but he was captured by troops on the day of the sacrifice.

After a series of charges with solid evidence were announced, he was thrown directly into jail.

His remaining followers were also captured one by one, and they had no chance to speak anymore.

To win the hearts of the people is like sailing with the current.

Yuan Jing accepted the imperial edict, completed the coronation ceremony, and became the next emperor of the Jin Dynasty.

He walked up to the dragon throne step by step, turned around, waved his sleeves, and slowly sat down.

Under the hall, all the officials knelt down and shouted:

"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
