Chapter 180 The Emperor Pretends to Faint, Then Wakes Him Up
The imperial guards received the order again and had to move forward, but before they got close, they were repelled by a white silk thread from Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi sneered, "Your Majesty, this subject's martial arts skills are thanks to the poison you gave me.
With my current martial arts skills, it would not be difficult for me to take your life, but I do not wish to do so."
He didn't deserve her to be charged with regicide. Killing him directly would be too easy for him.
Xia stood up and said, "I also want to know the truth. If His Majesty Dayou is the one who murdered loyal officials and murdered his own children, I cannot believe him.
However, everyone, rest assured, no matter what the truth is today, I promise that the Barbarian Nation will never spread a single word of it."
Because she had made preparations in advance, the people she brought with her this time were all her confidants. Even if the news was to be spread outside, it would be something that would benefit Su Heting and Qiao Xi.
As for the emperor, Xia's eyes were filled with coldness, and he deserved to be infamous forever.
Wuyou also said, "So is Dasheng."
Seeing that the envoys of both countries had made promises, and Qiao Chengwang was pushed into the hall by Su Que, no one in Dayou raised any objection anymore.
They could see that Su Heting was determined to do it and had already made preparations.
I'm afraid that everyone in the palace is under his control, otherwise how could he have brought Qiao Chengwang into the palace without the emperor's knowledge.
The skills displayed by Qiao Xi made them realize that if she really wanted to kill the emperor, it would not be difficult at all.
On the contrary, the imperial guards may not be able to kill them.
The emperor's reaction told them that he was not wronged. He had really harmed the Qiao family and killed his own prince.
If they defend the sinful emperor today, whether they can defeat Su Heting is another matter. If Su Heting and Qiao Xi fail to achieve their goal, they will definitely rebel.
By then, the various feudal lords will take the opportunity to fight for territory, and Dayou will be in civil strife. Given Dayou's current situation, there is really no one else who can protect them except Su Heting.
It seems that the only one who can stabilize the current situation and prevent internal unrest is Su Heting, because he has Xu An and the Zhou family to support him outside the palace.
What's more, Su Heting was the crown prince appointed by the emperor.
Rely on the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince?
That is totally unreliable.
When the emperor saw this, his heart sank. His face flushed and he staggered to Su Heting and grabbed his collar.
"I am your father. If you treat your father like this, you will be struck by lightning."
Su Heting used his strength to send him back to the throne. "I, your son, cannot help the tyrant and let the heroic souls of loyal ministers and generals rest in peace in the underworld."
He pursed his lips and said in a voice that only the emperor could hear, "A man who spends every day thinking about killing me is not worthy of being my father. This king has never truly acknowledged you."
"you……"
The emperor was furious and wanted to hit him, but was held back by Lord Zhan, who actually imprisoned him.
The emperor looked up in astonishment. "You...you...you are his? You actually betrayed your master for him?"
He finally understood why Su Heting and Qiao Xi could cause so much trouble in the palace.
It turned out that it was someone he had never suspected who betrayed him.
Lord Zhan said respectfully in a low voice, "My life was given by the late Crown Prince, and the late Crown Prince is my only master.
Your Majesty, those who are righteous have many supporters, while those who are unrighteous have few. Evil deeds will eventually be punished. It is time to pay back. Your struggle is useless."
The emperor really couldn't break free, because he saw that the imperial guards were intimidated by Qiao Xi's white silk.
To be precise, they chose to give up on him.
He shouted again, "Wuming, protect the emperor, protect the emperor."
The spies in the dark all looked at Wuming, asking with their eyes whether they should go forward.
Wuming slowly pushed the knife pulled out by the person next to him back in, closed his eyes and pretended not to hear anything.
Previously, the emperor gave him seven days to find Cao Ying, otherwise he would be beheaded. It was because Lord Zhan pleaded for him that he was able to save his life.
Last night, Qiao Xi used his inner strength to shake open the heavy door of the secret factory and asked him whether he wanted to live or die.
If you want to survive, you must lead your brothers in the dark factory to mend their ways and resume their duties as they did during the reign of the previous emperor, monitoring all officials, eliminating treacherous officials, sweeping away foreign enemies, safeguarding the order of Dayou, and protecting the peace of the people.
She would give them the antidote so that they would no longer be the emperor's killing tools.
If you want to die, it's simple. Just rush out.
By then, it would be impossible for Qiao Xi to kill them all alone.
Even the King of Xinjiang North, oh no, now it’s those masters that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought in from the secret passage of the dark factory, they are not easy opponents either.
When the emperor saw that none of the hidden players showed up, he knew that it was Qiao Xi and Su Heting who were behind it again.
"The treasonous son, the treasonous son."
he swore angrily.
Su Heting pretended not to hear and said to Qiao Chengwang, "Tell them what you've been through these years."
Qiao Chengwang had finally waited for this day, and he recounted the emperor's evil deeds in detail without hiding anything.
When everyone heard the details of the Qiao family's murder, their faces became extremely solemn, and some kind-hearted women couldn't help but shed tears.
Even the old minister who had previously clamored that the truth was not as important as the royal reputation hung his head in shame.
How can one not be chilling to see a loyal minister being betrayed and dying in such a miserable way?
How dare they be loyal to such an emperor?
"Slander, all slander."
The emperor's eyes were red and he refused to admit it.
Su Heting gave another order to bring Ji Chuan, Cao Ying, Wang Yuan and others up one by one.
Cao Ying was wearing prison clothes, and her figure was completely exposed. She didn't have to say anything, everyone knew that the emperor had taken his wife and killed Xu An's father.
It was also for this reason that Xu An rebelled in southern Xinjiang, which proved that the emperor was stupid and tyrannical.
After Ji Chuan and Cao Ying were secretly imprisoned by Qiao Xi and others, they lived a life worse than death every day. Now they just wanted to be released quickly, and they told everything as soon as they arrived in the palace.
Wang Yuan initially tried to conceal the murder of the Qiao family for the emperor, but the Xinjiang Northern Army found his hidden concubine.
Su Heting promised not to harm the baby in the concubine's womb, but would give the baby to an ordinary family to raise after birth.
In this way, although he could not let the child avenge him, at least he left a bloodline in the world.
Wang Yuan thought about it and stopped struggling.
He explained when he was sent to the northern border by the emperor's secret order and how he contacted the old barbarian king.
How did he get someone to disguise himself as Uncle Qiao's confidant, kill Uncle Qiao when he was not paying attention, and open the checkpoint to let the barbarians enter?
It described in detail how to get someone to disguise themselves as Mrs. Du from the Qiao family, drug the men from the Qiao family, and silence them afterwards.
The emperor's crimes over the years were pointed out one by one in public, and he seemed to have been stripped naked, with nowhere to hide.
Gao Chengqian was the first to kneel down and said, "Your Majesty is cruel and inhumane, and incompetent. This has weakened the government, made it difficult to carry out government orders, and has led to the separatist rule of the feudal lords.
Your Majesty has lost the hope of the world and can no longer bear the weight of the ancestral temple. For the sake of the legacy of your ancestors and the lives of the people of the world, Your Majesty should abdicate, reflect on yourself, and hand over the throne to the capable, so as to rectify the government and restore the glory of our dynasty."
Yu Degui knew that he could only cling to Su Heting's thigh, so he flattered Su Heting and asked him to take the position.
Lord Wu and other officials quickly agreed.
Even the ministers of the Fourth and Fifth Princes' parties, after hesitating for a moment, stood up and supported Su Heting as emperor.
There is no way. The emperor is a bad guy, and the fourth and fifth princes were raised by the emperor. Even if they came to power, they would not be recognized by the court officials and the people because of the emperor's crimes.
What's more, Su Heting has the support of hundreds of thousands of troops in the north and south of the border, and the backing of the Barbarian Kingdom, so they can't win.
The most important thing is that although he is the emperor's son, the emperor is also his enemy.
He governed northern Xinjiang very well, and the people would think that he could govern the world well too and would not follow the example of his father, the emperor.
The Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince and several other princes also realized this problem and could only hold their breath and stand in the center of the hall.
"Rebellion, rebellion, you all rebelled..."
The emperor was so angry that he was shaking all over. He didn't dare to think that these people dared to ask him to abdicate openly. He didn't dare to think about what people outside the palace and even the world would say about him later.
Will Su Heting and Qiao Xi kill him? He hasn't met the queen yet.
He half-fainted.
Just as he closed his eyes, a clear female voice rang out, "The matter is not yet finished, and the position has not yet been withdrawn. It's really not the right time to faint. Fortunately, I brought silver needles with me."
Su Que said to Qiao Chengwang, "Brother Qiao, wait for me a moment. I'll go and ask the emperor to wake up.
He hasn't admitted his mistakes, hasn't apologized to the Qiao family, and hasn't even written a confession..."
