Drunk Bamboo

Three days later, in the palace.

An eunuch whispered, "Your Majesty, everything inside and outside the city is ready, we can attack the city at any time."

"Amitabha." Prince Jing changed his appearance and wore the clothes of an inner official. "We will take the city tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

……

Early morning, Golden Stairs Palace.

The court meeting had just begun when a palace maid rushed into the hall in panic.

"Your Majesty, Prince Jing has rebelled! He has led 50,000 soldiers to the city!"

There was an uproar in the hall.

The emperor was stunned. "What? Prince Jing! Didn't he become a monk in Wubei? How could he possibly rebel?"

The eunuch was terrified. "It's true. His men are mixed in with the refugees and are now at the city gate. Leading them is General Du Zi."

The emperor was furious, "Du Zi?! He guards the northern border, how could he rebel?"

Prince Jing, Du Zi...

It was so sudden that the emperor couldn't believe it.

"Father, don't panic. Now we should think about how to repel the enemy and protect the city." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the first to regain his senses and reminded the Emperor to stay calm.

Zhang Xinghe responded immediately, "I have been on the battlefield and am willing to defend the city."

The emperor came back to his senses and responded repeatedly: "Xinghe defeated the Youguo army before. Xinghe will definitely be able to defend Zhongdu! All the guards will obey your orders."

"Yes."

"Father, I will go with Master Zhang."

"Okay, we must catch the traitor."

"My son, I obey."

While all the officials in the palace were still in panic, the Crown Prince and Zhang Xinghe had already led their mission out of the city to prepare for war.

Suddenly they relaxed again.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a dazed look on his face, as if he still couldn't accept the fact.

Twenty years ago, it was also a case of forcing the emperor to abdicate.

Now, the same scene is about to reappear.

Why are you all against him?

Why? !

After an unknown amount of time, no one in the hall spoke.

When the emperor raised his eyes again, they were dim and lifeless.

"Prince Jing, you are such a good Prince Jing. I let you go. For so many years, you have been eyeing the north covetously..."

Suddenly, someone answered the emperor, "I haven't always been in the north."

It was the eunuch who had just come in to report. He stood up at some point and walked up the golden steps.

Eunuch Dong shouted, "How dare you!"

"Bam—"

With a wave of his arm, Eunuch Dong was blown away and fainted in the distance.

The people present didn't know what was going on and they all stood there in a daze.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, "You are..."

The eunuch raised his head and smiled, "It's been almost twenty years since we last met. Fifth Brother, don't you recognize me?"

The emperor stared, "Hua Tianshen!"

Prince Jing clamped the emperor's neck with one hand, his eyes were cold, but he always had a smile on his face.

"It's been a while since I heard anyone calling my name. Now, everyone calls me Master Kong."

He waved his free long arm and took off his outer clothes, revealing a monk's robe.

The king in the palace came to his senses and shouted, "Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"

Feng Xiu smiled coldly, "Prime Minister, please stop wasting your energy shouting."

Wang Xiang was surprised, "Feng Xiu, you betrayed His Majesty!"

"Imperial soldiers, quickly capture the traitor!"

But no matter how the prime minister shouted, not a single guard entered the hall.

Prince Jing kindly reminded, "Don't shout, they have all been poisoned, there is no antidote, they can't wake up."

The next moment, the palace maid in the hall suddenly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and put it against the waists of the gentlemen.

"Fifth brother, you never imagined that the eunuch you looked down upon the most was actually my greatest helper. Those small and insignificant people were my greatest helpers."

Prince Jing smiled complacently.

It’s that simple, and the most noble and powerful person in the entire Rao country is under control.

It's so simple.

The emperor raised his eyes, his anger filled with resentment, "Did you plan all this?"

"I have to say, I have been planning this for twenty years." Prince Jing let go of his hand, and the inner palace maid beside him took over and dragged the emperor off the dragon throne, trapping his hands.

Prince Jing sat on the dragon chair and said with a smile: "Betraying the Western Frontier Defense Map, the You Kingdom launched a massive invasion, Prince Feng went to war, and the Xiao family was defeated. Before long, Prince Feng and the Xiao family will disappear one by one. I promised the monarch of the You Kingdom that I would give them the entire Western Frontier."

Wang Xiang was furious, "You, you have lost our rights and humiliated our country!"

"The western border is full of wind and sand, and crops cannot be grown there. Water is scarce. How can such a barren land belong to the territory of Rao? What's wrong with giving it to them?"

"That is our border. Once we pass the western border, the You Kingdom will attack like a horse in a river, and the entire Rao Kingdom will be in danger!"

Prince Jing didn't care. "If he dares to break his promise, I will let the entire You Kingdom be buried with him. Poison them to death, and there will be no one to fight."

Wang Xiang was so angry that he was shaking all over. "You..."

Prince Jing waved his hand and said, "Too noisy, drag him away and lock him up."

Wang Xiang was immediately taken out of the Golden Stairs Palace.

Everyone in the hall was so frightened that their legs went limp and they dared not move.

Prince Jing was bored, and looked down at the emperor who was slumped beside him, with a provocative look on his face, "Fifth Brother, why don't you say anything?"

The emperor looked ashen, "What do you want?"

He could never have imagined that at such an age, he would have to endure such humiliation.

But there is no ability to resist.

"You've given in so quickly? How boring. I wanted to see you show some courage and resist. You're really old now and can't do anything. When you killed someone, you didn't recognize any relatives."

"Are you doing this for those two traitors?"

Prince Jing's eyes suddenly became fierce.

"If you hadn't spread rumors in front of our father, how could you have caused suspicion between father and son, and finally you became the crown prince? What ability do you have to be the crown prince?"

"You forced them to abdicate. Do you swear to heaven that if they hadn't done so, would you have kept them alive?"

The emperor was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, and Prince Jing let go.

He sneered, "You are afraid of even your own son, let alone them."

"You are selfish, suspicious and cold-hearted. You don't even know how to cherish two such good children. If you had abdicated earlier, perhaps I would not have done this."

He kicked him hard to the ground, took out a pen and paper, and threw them on the ground.

"Write it. A letter of abdication."

"Don't think about it!"

The emperor tore the rice paper into pieces.

Prince Jing glanced at his feet and said calmly:

"Then kill them one by one."

As soon as the words were spoken, an official was stabbed in the chest.

"what!"

Falling in a pool of blood.

Then another.

"No……"

Another one...

The emperor was surprised and stopped him, "Stop!"

Prince Jing raised his arm and no more people were killed.

"Killing them is pointless. Killing the people you care about is useful."

"Bring here those distinguished people from the harem."

The emperor opened his eyes wide in horror.

Soon, the Queen, the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince, the Princess, and Xie Yuzhu were all brought to the palace.

Finally, the Imperial Concubine walked into the hall in gorgeous clothes.

"You're here." Prince Jing stretched out his hand.

The Imperial Concubine held out her hand, "You finally came to pick me up."

The most devastated was the emperor.

"You, you...bitch! You bitch!"

In front of all the officials, the emperor was exposed as a cuckold. The majesty of an emperor and the dignity of a man were crushed and trampled on the ground.

"puff--"

He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"In the past twenty years, I feel sick every time I see you. When I sleep in the same bed with you, I want to die." The imperial concubine leaned over and said in his ear.

"Bitch...people..."

Kicked him hard.

"Even if I die right now, I will be content. It is such a joy to be able to step on you!"

"puff--"

Another mouthful of blood.

The emperor fainted.

"Okay, don't really make him angry to death, wouldn't that be a bargain for him?"

"indeed."

The two of them sat together on the throne, overlooking everyone.
