Chapter 160 A tyrant is a tyrant, dark and evil
The ministers in the hall were so shocked that they didn't know where to look. Was this something that could be discussed in court?
But the emperor on the throne looked disapproving.
"It's hard to say this month. Even if it's not, I've insisted on it. What can Emperor Ling Yin do? Didn't he also insist that my son is his?
He even named my son the Crown Prince. I can also name his grandson the Crown Prince, so that he can also taste the pain of having his descendants die young!
Besides, isn't Chu Yang in the palace? Once she recovers, why should I worry that she won't be able to give birth to my grandson?"
"Father..." Fuso was dumbfounded. This father who had been so kind to him recently actually knew everything. The only reason he had for letting him go was to continue his revenge.
The emperor ignored Fusang and stared at Prince Qi.
"Prince Qi, you should worry about yourself. I have turned a blind eye to this in recent years. Do you really think I am blind? The Southwest Commander is Wang Qirui, right? His brother Wang Qifeng went to Lingyin Kingdom before Qingming Festival and has not returned since, right? Wang Qifeng also went to Lingyin Kingdom twice last year. What do you think?"
Prince Qi was also dumbfounded. His brother knew everything? Then wasn't he just a clown?
"I originally wanted to see how long you could last, but I didn't expect it to be so quick. Fusang has only been back for two months and you've already uncovered your past. Prince Qi, do you think I should kill you during the Chinese New Year?"
Prince Qi looked around and saw that the guards in the palace were all his subordinates. "Brother, don't be so confident."
"Oh, you're still looking, just a few of you, do you think I don't know?!"
The emperor just waved his hand, and the guards with swords who had just appeared were killed instantly, while the people who killed them were nowhere to be seen and no one knew where they were.
The women in the palace who were accompanied by ministers were screaming wildly, which made the ministers who had experienced many storms panic. Even Fuso was frightened. Fortunately, Chu Jian was in confinement and did not attend the New Year banquet.
"Royal brother, we will host a banquet for all the ministers today, and we can talk about other matters another day." Prince Jin sat upright on his throne and spoke to the emperor.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." The emperor glanced at Prince Jin and then looked at Prince Qi.
"Prince Qi, you need to drink more and eat more. I'm afraid you won't have the chance to sit in the prince's seat in this palace in the future. Prince Jin is right. You have committed too many sins. I can't finish talking about them today. I also want to listen carefully to how you could do the first and second princes."
The emperor spoke lightly, then raised his wine glass to face his ministers.
"This year, Nanbang has enjoyed good weather and a good harvest, which is worth celebrating. We have eradicated the epidemic and stabilized the border, which is worth celebrating. The Crown Prince has returned to the court, which is worth celebrating. Princess Qingyang has given me a grandson, which is even more worth celebrating!
No matter what the identity of Princess Qingyang is, remember, no one is allowed to interfere with the person I have chosen. Even if she is the princess of King Zhan Jingmuyang, so what! No one is allowed to spread what happened today, and those who violate the rules will be executed!"
None of the ministers in the hall dared to speak, not even to breathe. The bodies of dozens of dead guards were right behind them, and some blood even flowed to the ministers' seats, but no one dared to move.
Yes, after a few years of peace, they almost forgot that the person sitting there was a madman who would get furious at the slightest disagreement and had been angry for more than twenty years!
The death of the second prince and the general did deal him a great blow, but a tyrant is still a tyrant and cannot be viewed with the same mindset as a normal person.
"Have a banquet!"
The word "Emperor" opened this year's annual banquet. Dancers in the hall came up one after another, string music started, singing and dancing began, mixed with the blood in the hall, the atmosphere was extremely weird.
The ministers were all trembling with fear. Prince Qi was forced to sit in his seat helplessly. Prince Jin toasted him from the opposite side, which made him so angry that his teeth itched.
Fusang was restless. He didn't expect that the emperor knew everything. How should he face Chu Jian now? Should he force her to marry him?
*
This red blood banquet ended very late, and Prince Qi was sent back to Prince Qi's Mansion by a large number of soldiers and imprisoned.
Fuso was called into the imperial study.
"Fusang, are you satisfied with the decision I made for you?"
"Father, I beg you not to kill Chuyang." Fusang knelt on the ground.
"I allowed you to get married, when did you say I would kill you?" The emperor turned around and sat down in front of the desk.
"Fusang, you are just indecisive, too soft-hearted and too kind. So what if she is Jing Muyang's concubine? Remember, she is in your hands now. Don't you like her? I have granted you the marriage and given her the status, so you should marry her! Not only that, but you also want her to give birth to eight or ten children for you! You still want to let her go? Impossible! Emperor Ling Yin can't let her get away so easily!"
"Father, Jing Muyang has overthrown Crown Prince Lingyin. It is estimated that he will ascend the throne and become the emperor in the future. Given his personality, especially now that Beisai is eager to marry him, the strength of Lingyin Kingdom is no longer something we can contend with. If he also wants to take back his princess, then Nanbang will be in an irreparable situation!"
"What if he can't become the emperor? Wouldn't it be enough for him to die? What do you think I kept Prince Qi around for? Just to make life difficult for Emperor Ling Yin!
And would Jing Muyang dare? His wife and children are in our hands. Given his personality, he will probably just have to obey!
Fusang, don't forget that he killed your great uncle! You have been in Qingshui Town for so many years, and you have been under his wing! Don't you want revenge?"
"Father, someone forged the imperial edict for my uncle, and the peace talks ended in a counterattack. If anyone is to blame, it's the person who forged the imperial edict!"
"Fusang, no one has ever forged the imperial edict. I issued two orders, but your uncle failed." The emperor looked up at him slowly. "Since ancient times, all is fair in warfare. Lingyin is capable of robbing someone's wife, so I will not have any gentleman's agreement with him."
Even if Fusang was unwilling to believe it, it was useless. His father admitted it so frankly, it was even possible that the emperor was instructing to put the blame on Prince Qi. After all, all the clues he found pointed to Prince Qi.
"Fusang, when your mother sent you out of the palace, I also wanted to let you be carefree and not get involved in this and that. But now, you are my only son left, and you must be of one mind with me, do you understand?
If you like Chu Yang, don't hesitate. Your father will cover you for everything. I have been planning for more than ten years and sacrificed my two sons. It should have succeeded last time, but Jing Muyang appeared. Now as long as Jing Muyang dies, your father will conquer the world for you. From now on, you will be the only emperor after you unify the world!"
"Father..." Fuso was completely speechless. His father was a dark and crazy man, his eyes blinded by hatred.
"Go back and treat Chuyang well. Get married right after the New Year. I'm counting on her to give me a grandson." The emperor waved his hand and went to his bedroom.
