"boom!"
With a sudden loud bang, King Jin, like the King of Chu before him, was knocked heavily to the ground.
The difference is that the King of Chu was knocked down by his own soldiers, while the King of Jin was knocked down by his own brothers.
The soldiers who originally obeyed King Jin's orders stood silently in place, and no one stepped forward to help.
Xiao Jing was very wary of his sons. Many princes, including Prince Jin, had long lost their military power and only had a few guards in the palace.
Therefore, these soldiers who obey King Jin's orders are not actually his die-hard fans. It's just that Xiao Jing has been in a coma and his breath is getting weaker and weaker. It is very likely that he will never wake up again.
They were persuaded by King Jin and supported him in launching a coup and seizing the throne.
Now that Xiao Jing has appeared, how could these people dare to continue following King Jin and become traitors?
What's more, Xiao Jing has a large number of Dragon and Tiger Guards around him.
These people are Xiao Jing's die-hard supporters, that is, they are thorough royalists.
Before, Xiao Jing was in a coma, and King Jin wanted to ascend the throne, so he tried to win them over and gain their support.
But these people were unmoved.
However, when King Jin staged a coup, they did not stop it. They just guarded the important places in the palace, including Xiao Jing's bedroom, and then left some holes to let King Jin and King Chu fight each other.
If Xiao Jing never woke up, they would not object to Prince Jin taking charge of the government.
If Xiao Jing died, they would not object to King Jin ascending the throne.
But now that Xiao Jing has awakened, they will naturally obey Xiao Jing's orders and eradicate the rebels like King Jin.
So, this palace coup started suddenly and ended very quickly.
With Xiao Jing's sudden awakening, King Jin, the winner, lost completely in an instant.
From being one step away from the throne, he became a rebel kneeling before Xiao Jing.
The heavy armor on his body had been taken off, leaving only the gorgeous and noble royal robes.
But at this moment, his whole body was wrinkled, his hair was crooked, and he was forced to kneel in front of Xiao Jing. He looked extremely embarrassed.
Even worse than the previous King of Chu.
When the King of Chu was killed, his armor was still on, but his helmet had been torn off.
King Jin looked like a turtle that had been peeled off its shell.
His two brothers also took off their armor and were now kneeling in front of Xiao Jing, trembling with fear, to apologize.
Because of the two men's sudden betrayal, no one was holding them hostage at this time, so they looked much better than King Jin.
Even so, the two were still so frightened that they dared not raise their heads. Whenever they thought of Xiao Jing's past methods, they trembled all over.
Prince Jin was crying and begging for mercy: "Father! Please spare my life! I didn't intend to rebel. I just thought that a traitor was impersonating you, so I was angry and yelling just now! I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time!"
Xiao Jing sat high up on the dragon chariot, looking down at King Jin. Suddenly, he snorted coldly, "You still know how to be treasonous?"
When King Jin and his two brothers heard what Xiao Jing said, their hearts sank again.
At this moment, Xiao Jing's voice was full of energy. How could he look like someone who was seriously ill and dying?
The three of them even couldn't help but suspect that Xiao Jing had suddenly fallen into a coma because he was pretending to be sick, just to lure them out and then get rid of them!
The three of them had no doubt that Xiao Jing was definitely capable of doing such a thing!
Not only were they skeptical, but many people present were also skeptical.
But no one dared to look up at Xiao Jing, and no one was stupid enough to speak out their guess.
Xiao Jing looked at his three sons kneeling on the ground with cold eyes, then glanced coldly at the body of King Chu with his head and body separated, and soon thought of the nightmare he had recently had.
Although he has been in a coma these days, he has not lost consciousness and is trapped in one nightmare after another.
Now, his nightmare has become reality.
Not only did some of his good sons try to seize his throne while he was unconscious, but some also killed their brothers and even betrayed them at critical moments.
OK, that's great.
He really raised a group of good sons!
King Jin was still crying and begging for mercy: "Father, I really know I was wrong. Please spare my life!"
"Spare my life? You forced the emperor to rebel, killed your brothers, and you still want me to spare your life? Come! Peel off his skin and let me see what he is!"
"Ah..." Upon hearing this, King Jin screamed in fear, "Father, please don't... Father, please kill me. I really know I was wrong..."
At the end of his words, he bit his tongue hard, wanting to commit suicide, but the Dragon and Tiger Guards beside him grabbed him and broke his jaw in an instant.
King Jin could only beg for mercy with saliva dripping from his mouth, but it was of no use.
Soon someone stripped him of his clothes, tied him up, and began to execute him.
"what--"
He let out a scream that was not like a human voice, and the two brothers kneeling on the ground were so frightened that their hearts and livers were broken and their whole bodies were shaking.
All the soldiers who participated in the coup knelt on the ground, threw away their weapons and took off their armor.
Everyone watching the execution was trembling with fear and covered in cold sweats.
By the time the execution was over, many people's clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
Xiao Jing witnessed the whole process coldly. There was no trace of a father's tenderness and love for his son in his eyes, only the coldness and cruelty of the enemy.
He looked at his two sons, who had become as soft as dough, and sneered in disgust. He spoke again: "From now on, you two are demoted to commoners and are no longer my sons."
After saying this, he gave the others an order: "Drag them out and confine them to the palace. Never leave the palace for the rest of your life. Otherwise, it will be considered as treason!"
The two men's bodies went completely limp, and they were dragged out with pale faces.
Xiao Jing then looked at the soldiers who participated in the coup: "As for you... who just killed the King of Chu? Bring him up."
The several soldiers who attacked the King of Chu were quickly brought over.
Xiao Jing glanced at them coldly and said mercilessly: "These people will be tortured to death and their clans will be exterminated!"
Several people collapsed into a ball in an instant.
The palace coup farce ended here, and the palace soon returned to its previous appearance.
However, the impact of this palace coup continues.
Although Xiao Jing did not execute everyone on the spot, the leading generals were dismissed and investigated in the next few days.
There was a bloody massacre at Caishikou in the capital, with killings happening almost every day.
Even the eunuchs and maids serving in the palace were investigated.
However, no one paid attention to the cold palace where Xie Ying hid, except for the palace servants who came to deliver meals every day.
The palace servants only delivered meals once a day, and the time was not fixed. Even the food that was delivered was rotten and smelly.
However, Hu Yuehua was probably used to such a life. Every time food was brought to her, she could eat it without changing her expression.
But when Xie Ying was eating, she couldn't help but feel greedy.
Xie Ying couldn't stand her longing look and would give her food every time.
