Father, I am back to fight!

Chapter 2

In the court, Emperor Liang looked at the mountain of memorials on the table and his beard trembled with anger!

A plague broke out in Beiliang, killing and injuring countless cattle and sheep. Beiliang assembled 200,000 cavalrymen and crossed the 300-li plain of Youzhou, approaching Hutou Pass.

The Prince of Beiliang personally led an envoy to the Daliang Imperial City to ask for food, and they will arrive at the Imperial City soon!

"It would take two hundred thousand cavalrymen to get food! Across three hundred miles of plains, they're approaching Hutou Pass? They're clearly taking advantage of my misfortune and forcing me with their powerful army!"

Emperor Liang was furious.

Beiliang has strong soldiers and horses. Once Hutou Pass is breached, Beiliang can enter the territory of Daliang unscrupulously and plunder the people!

If we give them food, they will become like maggots on the heel, asking for food every year, and Daliang will be dragged down.

All the civil and military officials in the court had solemn expressions and didn't dare to breathe!

"Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince requests an audience!"

Just then, a guard came in and knelt on the ground to report.

"Isn't he under house arrest in the East Palace? Who let him out?!"

When Emperor Liang heard that Qin Yu was coming, he was slightly stunned, and then he became furious.

Sensing the Emperor Liang's anger, the guard's body trembled, and he said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said he has something important to report, so, regardless of being under house arrest, he risked his life to demand to see Your Majesty!"

Emperor Liang's face turned ashen, and he said coldly, "Humph! Bring this bastard in. I want to see what important matters he has to report!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

The guard received the order and hurriedly retreated. Soon, Qin Yu was brought in.

Walking into the court, Qin Yu looked directly at Emperor Liang sitting on the dragon throne!

"Father! If you wish for me to die, I must! I do not need your Majesty to give me poisoned wine. Simply demote me to a commoner and grant me an iron sword. I will journey to the border and die on the battlefield! I will not hesitate to shed my last drop of blood for the people of Daliang!"

Qin Yu spoke loudly without being humble or arrogant!

what!

Did Emperor Liang give the Crown Prince poisoned wine?

All the civil and military officials in the court looked at each other with a gasp of cold air, and looked at Emperor Liang with a bit more fear in their eyes!

He openly pardoned the prince of the death penalty for rebellion to show his benevolence and righteousness, but secretly gave him poisoned wine. His actions were not only ruthless but also cruel!

"Ridiculous! Rebellious son! What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever give you poisoned wine?"

Emperor Liang was furious and shouted at Qin Yu.

"Just now! My second brother came to the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace and forced me to drink poisoned wine! If I hadn't fought to the death, I would be dead now! If it wasn't for Father's intention, how could my second brother be so bold!"

Qin Yu's voice was sad, and he looked directly at Emperor Liang without any fear in his eyes!

Regardless of whether the poisoned wine incident was related to Emperor Liang, Emperor Liang would definitely take the blame!

"Rebellious son! Are you questioning me?"

Emperor Liang said in a cold voice, his whole body exuding majesty!

"Your Majesty! The Crown Prince's rebellion failed, and all his followers were eliminated. He was also confined to the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace. He must have been unable to accept this fact, so he developed a brain disease and caused a scene in the court, falsely accusing Your Majesty!"

"The Crown Prince is already without talent or virtue, and has committed treason. He now suffers from a brain disease, making him unfit for the position of Crown Prince. Your Majesty, please depose him from the throne and send him to the Imperial Hospital. I believe the Imperial Hospital's methods will surely cure the Sixth Prince's brain disease!"

Prime Minister Shangguan Xiong stepped forward and said coldly.

Qin Mang rebelled, made Qin Yu take the blame, and forced Qin Yu to drink poisoned wine. It was all Prime Minister Shangguan Xiong who plotted behind the scenes!

He thought Qin Yu was dead!

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu not only did not die, but also dared to make a big fuss in the court and announced the poisoned wine. If Qin Yu was not arrested quickly, the matter of giving the poisoned wine would be exposed. By then, the truth about Qin Mang's rebellion would be discovered, and he, the prime minister, would also be implicated!

"Whether Qin Mang went to the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace or not, we only need to send someone to investigate and we'll know. But you didn't even bother to investigate, and instead you said the Crown Prince had a brain disease? Prime Minister, what are your intentions?"

Qin Yu said, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"First you framed His Majesty, and now you're framing this Prime Minister. If you don't have a brain disease, then you have ulterior motives, wanting to stir up trouble in the court and undermine the stability of Daliang!"

"So what if His Highness Qin Mang has been to the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace? So what if he hasn't been? What does that prove? At most, he's just a naughty person who doesn't know the rules."

Shangguan Xiong sneered and said, then a cruel look flashed in his eyes. He looked at Qin Yu coldly and said, "It's you who said that His Highness Qin Mang forced you to drink poisoned wine. Do you have any evidence?"

"Do you have any evidence that the prince is rebelling?"

Qin Yu glanced at the civil and military officials in the court and asked in a cold voice.

"You rebelled, were caught red-handed by the Imperial Guards, and signed a confession. Everyone in the court knows about it. What more evidence do you want? I think you're just unwilling to accept the failure of your rebellion and want to continue stirring up trouble!"

Shangguan Xiong's face was gloomy to the extreme!

"Since this prince was caught red-handed by the Imperial Guards, then which Imperial Guard captured me, and who made me sign the confession? Find him here, and I will confront him in court!"

Qin Yu said loudly.

Shangguan Xiong was about to scold when a majestic voice rang out!

"Someone, come here! Find the commander of the Imperial Guard!"

Emperor Liang said in a deep voice.
