Chapter 510 Are You Worthy of It?
Han Zhuo stopped pretending and said directly, "Your Majesty, the position of Crown Prince has been vacant for too long, and now, in order to fight for the position of Crown Prince, the Sixth Prince and his men have assembled hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege Chang'an."
"For the sake of the people of Chang'an and for the eternal stability of our Great Qian Nation, I earnestly request Your Majesty to establish me as the Crown Prince!"
As soon as Han Zhuo said this, Li Ying, who was originally smiling, suddenly froze in expression!
His eyes, which originally looked a little cloudy, suddenly became extremely sharp!
He stared at Han Zhuo and said coldly, "The Crown Prince is the heir apparent to the throne and the future of the country. It has always been the position of the capable. Are you worthy of it?!"
Han Zhuo seemed calm in the face of Li Ying's suddenly cold voice and blunt and derogatory remarks.
He said, "Your Majesty, you only have a few sons. This is no longer a question of whether I am worthy or not."
"The Daqian Kingdom must have a successor. You've been leaving the position vacant, causing us brothers to fight and suspect each other. This is actually damaging us while also damaging the foundation of the Daqian Kingdom!"
"You simply want to stay on the throne longer. Actually, there's no need to do that. Even if a crown prince is appointed, you're still the emperor."
"I can still lie here in the sun and play games every day. How comfortable!"
The old eunuch beside him, upon hearing Han Zhuo's words, immediately started to scold him: "Your Highness, Third Prince, you are overstepping your authority!"
"Someone, drive His Royal Highness the Third Prince out!"
However, just as the old eunuch finished speaking, Han Zhuo's eyes suddenly widened!
He quickly reached out with both hands and grabbed the old eunuch's throat!
He immediately pulled him in front of him, and then Han Zhuo did not give the old eunuch any chance to speak.
"Snap!" His neck was broken!
Because this action happened too quickly, Emperor Li Ying didn't even react. The old eunuch who had followed him in the harem since he was a child, who had relied on the power of others, acted like a bully, and taken people's lives for decades, actually died like this!
"You, you actually dare to kill him!?"
At this time, Han Zhuo had a seemingly kind smile on his face.
He said, “Originally, I had a very good idea.”
"I've put so much thought into handing these three good things over to you."
"As for you, since you've taken advantage of me, just make me the crown prince. In two days, announce to the world that you're tired and want to abdicate."
"But since you refuse, I will have no choice but to force you to abdicate."
"All of this was forced by you. It's all your fault."
Later on, Han Zhuo stopped using even honorifics.
Li Ying, sitting in the back seat of the car, immediately shouted at the top of her lungs, "Someone! Someone!"
But Li Ying shouted a few times, but no one responded outside.
Han Zhuo said calmly, "Don't shout anymore. The entire palace guards are under my control now."
"Don't you realize that you're already doomed?"
"It's because you're lucky. Over the past few years, you've met a regent who's only interested in developing the country, not seeking power."
"But now that he's missing, with such great conditions, such a great time and place, how can I not seize the opportunity?"
"After all... I want to improve too!"
As he spoke, Han Zhuo came to Li Ying's side.
Then he reached out and patted Li Ying's shoulder gently.
He said: "People, when they get older, they have to accept their age!"
"If you've been sitting in your position for too long, you have to move on and give the young people a chance."
"Otherwise, in your current state, aren't you afraid of getting moles if you sit for too long?"
"Somebody come!"
As Han Zhuo finished speaking, more than a dozen guards walked in.
They held a wooden tray in their hands. Han Zhuo said, "Strike while the iron is hot. Come, sign this letter and make me the crown prince!"
After Han Zhuo finished speaking, the old emperor gritted his teeth and refused to sign.
Han Zhuo then slowly lowered his head and whispered in the old emperor's ear, "Old man, why are you so stubborn?"
"The reason you didn't sign is because you believed that Lao Liu and his men would definitely break into Chang'an, and you were sure that I wouldn't dare to kill you now, right?"
"But, think about it the other way around. Since Lao Liu and the others are so powerful, wouldn't it be better for me to seize the throne of Crown Prince or even ascend the throne as Emperor before they enter Chang'an City?"
"Just sign it while I'm still in the mood to talk to you nicely. You can't let me force you."
"Rebellious son, how dare you!?" Li Ying roared.
However, Han Zhuo's eyes had narrowed slightly at this time.
Suddenly, a dangerous aura emanated from him, which terrified Li Ying!
Li Ying was shocked!
"You, you really... dare?"
Han Zhuo sneered, "Your Majesty, do you really think you still have any power in the court?"
"The only thing left for you is signing this edict."
"Sign it, and we'll both be safe. You can happily be the emperor, and we'll be a loving father and a filial son."
"If you don't sign... hehe, don't blame me."
"You know, when a person is pushed to the limit, he can do anything."
Li Ying took a deep breath, glanced at the dead eunuch chief, and finally closed his eyes silently. Then he wrote the imperial edict on it and stamped it with the seal.
Seeing Han Zhuo put away the imperial edict and the jade seal, Li Ying still stared at Han Zhuo and said something.
"You are so bold and reckless, you will definitely not have a good ending!"
"Lao Liu and the others won't let you go!"
Han Zhuo grinned at this time and said, "Hehe, just in time, I don't want to let them go!"
Han Zhuo left the emperor's bedroom, and at this time, a gust of wind blew over.
Han Zhuo smelled a familiar fragrance in this breeze.
At that moment, he followed the direction of the wind and came to a palace.
The palace is huge, yet empty.
Not even a human figure.
Han Zhuo raised his head slightly, and suddenly saw a bright and graceful figure standing leisurely on the beam above his head.
Han Zhuo grinned at the sight, and with a final push of his feet, he soared into the air.
He rose in a spiral, then floated behind her, reaching out his hand and about to place it on her shoulder.
The other person turned his head and saw Su Lingzhi's beautiful face in front of him. Her sharp eyes glared at Han Zhuo!
As a result, Han Zhuo's outstretched hand paused in mid-air, and then he retracted it with a sullen smile.
Su Lingzhi looked at Han Zhuo with a hint of reproach in her eyes.
He said, "Just now, you went a little too far."
"No matter what, he is the emperor of Daqian after all. As a prince, you will easily be criticized for doing this."
Han Zhuo, however, had a nonchalant expression on his face. He said, "My dear sister, when you asked the commander of the Imperial Guard to submit to me, you must have known that something like this would inevitably happen."
"The old emperor is truly old, yet he continues to occupy the throne and doesn't even appoint a crown prince."
"At its core, he simply doesn't want any of his sons to take away his rights."
"But he himself does nothing and dumps all the conflicts and problems on you."
"Such a huge country, with so many complicated and intertwined forces, and you, an outsider, are responsible for everything!"
