A special forces soldier traveled through time and space to become a genius of literature and martia

Prince Rui looked at Emperor Kang Ren and said, "Father is calling for someone, right?"

Then he shouted to the outside, "Come here!" The imperial guards entered the palace in an orderly manner.

Emperor Kang Ren suddenly seemed to understand something, "You... you actually dared to secretly plan such a vicious thing in this palace, at this New Year's Eve banquet! All of this was your doing, right?" Emperor Kang Ren was so angry that he was shaking all over, staring at Prince Rui with his eyes fixed, and the anger in his eyes seemed to devour him.

Prince Rui smiled calmly, the fake respect on his face had long since disappeared, replaced by a look of pride and arrogance. "Father, you just realized it now, isn't it too late? Humph, you have been sitting on this throne for many years, it's time for your son to sit on it."

The Imperial Concubine, who was watching from the side, could no longer conceal her joy. She smiled smugly and said, "Your Majesty, please stop struggling. The throne will be my son's sooner or later. Look, most of the ministers in this palace have fallen. Who else can you count on to help you?"

Prince Shun and Prince Ning were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They had never thought that Prince Rui would be so bold as to poison the emperor at the imperial palace banquet and stir up such a chaos. They knew that if they were not careful at this moment, they would be dragged into this cruel fight for the throne and their lives would be in danger.

At this time, the dozen ministers who had not fallen were obviously the followers of King Rui. They stood up one after another, changing their pretended terrified expressions, showing either flattering or complacent expressions on their faces, bowing to King Rui, and shouting in unison: "Greetings to the Emperor, long live the Emperor!" The sound was particularly harsh in this silent and tense banquet hall.

Emperor Kang Ren was filled with grief and indignation when he saw this scene. He had never imagined that so many people around him would betray him. Those seemingly loyal ministers in normal times had now become accomplices of Prince Rui in usurping the throne.

He pointed at the ministers with his eyes wide open and cursed: "You are a bunch of ungrateful and treacherous people. I treat you well on weekdays, but you dare to help the tyrant to commit atrocities and do such treasonous things!"

However, those ministers turned a deaf ear to Emperor Kang Ren's curses and still stood respectfully behind Prince Rui, as if Emperor Kang Ren was no longer the emperor they needed to respect.

Prince Rui listened to Emperor Kang Ren's scolding, sneered, and said: "Father, please stop struggling in vain. You are already alone, so you should just write a letter of abdication and pass the throne to me, so as to avoid this physical pain."

Emperor Kang Ren gnashed his teeth and said, "You rebellious son, even if I die here today, I will never let a ruthless person like you ascend the throne and bring disaster to our Great Xia!"

Prince Rui walked towards Emperor Kang Ren step by step, saying as he walked: "I am obviously better than Murong Xuanyi, and much stronger than the fourth and sixth brothers, but why can't you give me the throne? I have been planning for many years, just to get the throne today, so please stop resisting in vain."

Emperor Kang Ren glared at him and scolded him, "You rebellious son, the succession to the throne has its own rules. How can you obtain it by such cruel means? For your own selfish desires, you poisoned the ministers in the court and killed the loyal officials. With such behavior, even if you sit on the throne, it will be difficult to win the hearts of the people. It will only make my Great Xia fall into deeper turmoil!"

King Rui snorted disapprovingly, "Rules? In this world, the strong are respected. Since I have the ability to plan everything, I am qualified to sit on the throne. As for those ministers, they are just stumbling blocks. If I eliminate them, my governance of Daxia will be smoother in the future."

Prince Shun and Prince Ning were listening to Prince Rui's treasonous words and were shaking with anger. However, they were in danger at the moment and could only glare at him, not daring to act rashly.

Emperor Kang Ren laughed, "Hahaha... Do you really think that all your plans were successful? Do you think I am defenseless and will let you, a rebellious son, do whatever you want? Look around you, do you really think I would be so stupid as not to make any arrangements for this New Year's Eve banquet?"

When King Rui heard this, his heart suddenly tightened and the smug look on his face instantly faded a little. He subconsciously looked around but did not find anything unusual.

"Hmph, father, please don't bluff here. If you really have any plans, why are you in such an embarrassing situation now?" Although Prince Rui spoke tough, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

At this time, Murong Xuanyi and Yuan Ying slowly stood up from the ground. Murong Xuanyi dusted off the dust on his body and said loudly: "Brother, I'm afraid your wishful thinking is wrong. Do you think that you can take the throne with just your tricks? You underestimate my father and the loyal ministers of Daxia too much."

Yuan Ying also echoed, "That's right, the emperor is wise, how could he not know your evil ambitions? As early as when he discovered your ill intentions, he had already secretly arranged everything. Your farce today is nothing but courting your own death."

The Imperial Concubine's eyes widened in disbelief. She pointed at the two of them and exclaimed, "You...you are not poisoned? How is this possible?"

Emperor Kang Ren looked at the astonished look on the Imperial Concubine's face and sneered, "Do you really think I will let you, a vicious woman, succeed? You secretly colluded with Prince Rui, and thought I had no idea? I was just using your tricks to see what tricks you could come up with."

The Imperial Concubine's face turned pale, and she trembled as she asked, "How...how did you know?" After all, half of the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs was hers, and the president of the Imperial Kitchen was also hers. Which step had gone wrong?

Emperor Kang Ren did not answer her, but just looked at her coldly. He turned to look at Prince Rui, his eyes full of disappointment and anger: "I have always regarded you as my most proud son, but I didn't expect you to do such a rebellious thing. I am really blind!"

Prince Rui was completely confused at this moment. He looked at Emperor Kang Ren with hatred in his eyes: "You don't regard me as your most proud son. You only have Murong Xuanyi in your eyes, and you want to pass your throne to him."

Emperor Kang Ren was so angry that he was shaking all over. He shouted angrily, "How dare you! How can you speculate the succession of the throne at will and fight for it with such cruel means? Xuan Yi is loyal and dedicated to Da Xia. What about you? For your own selfish desires, you did not hesitate to poison the ministers in the court and stir up such a disaster. What qualifications do you have to be compared with him?"

Prince Rui's cheeks flushed with anger at Emperor Kang Ren's harsh rebuke. He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Why am I not qualified? In terms of talent, literary talent, and the way of governing the country, how am I inferior to him? Why can't I be given this throne?"

At this time, the dozen ministers who had followed the King of Rui to make trouble, seeing that the situation was not good, the flattery and complacency on their faces disappeared instantly, replaced by fear and panic. They looked at the King of Rui, then at Emperor Kang Ren, and their bodies trembled involuntarily, regretting that they should not have stood on the side of the King of Rui so easily.
