Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

While Zhao Liangchen and Su Qin were discussing, the emperor also learned that Zhao Jian and Zhao Liangchen had gone to Prince Liang's Mansion.

He sent people to secretly monitor the Zhao Mansion, so he knew as soon as Zhao Liangchen and his men set off.

When the emperor received the reply, he was both angry and sad. He had not expected that the person he trusted most would betray him. In his heart, Prince Liang was like both a father and an elder brother to him. He did not understand why. He had no intention of sitting in this position at the beginning. He also told Prince Liang that he was young and was afraid that he would not be able to manage the country well and ruin the foundation laid by his ancestors.

It was King Liang who appeased him, supported him, and helped him ascend to this position. Why didn't he take it openly, but had to resort to such secret rebellion?

The emperor fell into deep self-doubt. Was it because Prince Liang found that he was a hopeless person and had failed to manage the country well, and Prince Liang was so disappointed that he wanted to replace him?

No, that's not right. Although he is not a wise and brave emperor, he is not a foolish one either. Besides, he has not yet taken power, and all major affairs are supervised by Grand Tutor Yan and others. Even if he wants to do a bad job, he has no chance. Now the people's lives are much better than when the late emperor was alive.

At least there is no war, and this year's disaster has been properly handled. King Liang has no reason to be disappointed in him.

So why?

The emperor locked himself up and had wild thoughts, torturing himself repeatedly, refusing to eat or drink. Liu Jin, who was guarding the door, was extremely anxious, but he had no other choice. He wanted to send someone to find Zhao Liangchen to persuade the emperor, but he was afraid that King Liang would find out, make the matter clear, and cause even greater chaos.

The emperor locked himself up for a whole day and night. In the early morning of the next day, he had to go to court. Liu Jincai bravely shouted through the door: "Your Majesty, it's time to get up and go to court."

There was no sound from inside, so he called out again, "Your Majesty, it's time. The ministers should be here soon."

There was still no sound from inside. Just as he was about to pound on the door, it creaked open from the inside. The emperor, exhausted and with bloodshot eyes, stood at the door. His face was gloomy and he said in a hoarse voice, "Change your clothes."

"Hey."

Liu Jin responded quickly and waved his hand. A team of eunuchs carrying trays followed him in to help the emperor wash and change clothes.

The emperor's eyes were fierce and his face was gloomy the whole time. The eunuchs lowered their heads so low they almost wanted to burrow into the ground. Only Liu Jin bravely held a bowl of ginseng soup and handed it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten all day. It's freezing cold now. I'm afraid you can't bear it if you don't eat. Please drink the ginseng soup to warm yourself up."

The emperor didn't even look at Liu Jin, but reached out to take the ginseng soup and drank it in one gulp.

As long as he was willing to eat, Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor thought about it all night and decided that no matter whether Prince Liang had the intention of rebellion or not, he would not give the throne to him. He really didn't care about it before.

But now he has been in this position for five years.

Not to mention that he has already tasted power, and he has put a lot of effort into keeping this position.

If he said he was willing to give up the position, would King Liang let him go? No, as long as he abdicated, the only outcome that would greet him was death. Who would tolerate the previous emperor still being alive?

After putting on the dragon robe, he walked towards the hall more determined than usual: "Uncle, you pushed me to this position. Now that it's been given to me, don't think about it. No matter what the reason is, in this life, I will be the king and you can only be the minister. I will give you one last chance. If you present the map to me, I will forgive you and guarantee that you will enjoy honor and favor for the rest of your life. But if I don't see your map, don't blame me. From now on, we can only be mortal enemies."

The ministers who attended the court today clearly felt the difference in the emperor. Not only was his aura more oppressive, but his attitude was also tougher. In the past, memorials submitted by ministers were first sent to the four regent ministers, and they would only bring them up for discussion in the court if they felt they were worthy of discussion.

The final outcome of the discussion was generally predetermined, and the emperor merely issued an edict. However, the emperor directly gave his opinion on the memorials submitted by the ministers today without any discussion. If any minister objected, the emperor would stare at him coldly and ask, "Are you making the decision for me, my dear minister?"

How could the person being asked dare to say yes? He could only defend himself by saying that it was for the good of the court, the people and the emperor.

The emperor then asked, "Is my proposal bad for the court and the people?"

The ministers were speechless, because although the emperor was powerful, there was nothing wrong with the opinions they put forward. It was just that everyone had their own stance and wanted to gain some benefits for themselves.

The emperor was in a strong position, Prince Liang was injured and away, and Grand Tutor Yan and the Grand Preceptor had originally wanted to return power to the emperor, and were happy to see the emperor's change. The Privy Councilor did not want to get involved and just pretended not to exist. Whatever others said was what it was, and no one could suppress the emperor.

The emperor was not only powerful in the court, but also asked Liu Jin to secretly investigate the eunuchs and maids in the palace after returning, and anyone he considered suspicious was secretly monitored.

Prince Liang knew about the emperor's change before he even left the court.

Upon hearing the news reported by his subordinates, King Liang smashed a teacup and said that he trusted him so much and treated him like his own father, but in the end, he took advantage of his injury to seize power?

In the dark room, Prince Liang stroked the map hanging on the wall inch by inch and uttered a bone-chilling sneer: "My good nephew, it seems you have truly grown up and no longer want to listen to your uncle. Then you can no longer sit in this position. You have ruled this world for me long enough."

He looked down at his injured leg with a gloomy look. He was wrong. He had been wrong before. He shouldn't have sacrificed his leg for some illusory reputation.

The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. History books are written by the victor. When he sits on the throne, the way he ascends to the throne is recorded in the way he says.

A ghostly, cold smile appeared on his face: "Good nephew, see you tomorrow."

The next day, Prince Liang came to court in a wheelchair, which surprised all the court officials but also made them feel that it was as it should be. The emperor's dominance yesterday had clearly shown that he wanted to take back power, and most of the power was in Prince Liang's hands. Even the ministers who did not know that Prince Liang had rebellious intentions felt that he would not hand over power so easily. After all, who would complain about having too much power?

Seeing King Liang coming today, all the civil and military officials in the court knew that there would be good shows to watch in the future.

The people on Prince Liang's side were even more delighted. Yesterday, most of the political views they put forward were rejected. When Prince Liang was not around, they did not receive clear instructions and did not dare to confront the emperor. Today, when Prince Liang came, they had a backbone and their backs were straighter than before. In their eyes, how could a young man like the emperor compare with the calm, introverted and resourceful Prince Liang.

Zhao Jian was extremely excited. In his opinion, after he presented the map to King Liang, it would definitely further inspire King Liang's fighting spirit. He felt that they were not far from victory, and he seemed to have seen the scene of his future promotion.

All the ministers were looking forward to the confrontation between Prince Liang and the Emperor. Even Grand Tutor Yan and the Grand Preceptor were looking at the Emperor with concern. They were all regents, so how could they not notice Prince Liang's control over the court? However, the relationship between Prince Liang and the Emperor had always been good. Before, they thought Prince Liang was controlling the government for the Emperor, but recently they also noticed something was wrong. They originally wanted to remind the Emperor, but like Zhao Liangchen, they were worried that the Emperor would not believe it and instead would suspect that they were sowing discord.

It is now obvious that the emperor has noticed something, and they are also afraid that the emperor cannot defeat King Liang.

The atmosphere in the court was tense as never before, but unlike the tense scene they had imagined, the Emperor was delighted to see Prince Liang step down from the throne. He personally knelt before Prince Liang, stroked his legs, and asked, "Uncle, why are you here? Is your leg injury feeling better?"
