Chapter 274 The Fragile Emperor
The angry emperor kicked the seventh prince directly in the head.
With a bang, the seventh prince's brain hit the ground hard and he fainted.
"Throw this bastard into the prison!
Look at him, don't let him die. When I catch Daoyin, I want the three of them to live or die! "
The emperor, who had always been soft-tempered, became furious, and the imperial study was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.
The people present didn't know how to comfort the emperor.
After all, there is no comfort in this matter.
"Ahem," the eldest princess cleared her throat, breaking the awkward atmosphere in the palace.
"Royal brother, I'm going to check for you whether Dao Yin has been caught. Let's go first."
Empress Dowager Dong rubbed her eyebrows:
"After a long night of hard work, the Ai family is also tired. The Ai family will go back to the palace to rest first."
.......
One or two of them all found reasons to leave the imperial study room.
In the end, only King Ding was left.
"Uncle Ding Wang, why haven't you left yet?"
When the emperor saw that only King Ding was left in the palace, he ignored the emperor's majesty and sat slumped on the steps next to the desk.
King Ding sighed.
He walked to the emperor's side and sat on the steps.
In front of Prince Ding, who was about the same age as his father, the emperor's desire to talk seemed to have an outlet.
"Uncle Dingwang, do you think I have failed as emperor?
I have known since I was a child that I was not smart, and I never thought that the throne of Otsuki would one day fall to me.
So I've been living a comfortable life since I was a kid.
If you can't write, you can't do martial arts.
My father didn’t place high hopes on me either, he just treated me like a free rein.
But he didn't expect that the prince's brother, whom his father favored, would go suddenly, and the old man himself would also go suddenly.
The throne fell on my head inexplicably.
I know that I am not the material to be an emperor, and I am afraid that Dayue will fail in my hands.
Therefore, since the day I ascended to the throne, I have always kept in mind my father’s instructions before his death, and put my trust in Zhenguo Gongfu, Dingwangfu, and Song Taifu’s family.
I thought it would be enough to follow my father's request, but I didn't expect..."
Unexpectedly, he and the queen's legitimate son were not saved.
The beloved concubine cuckolds herself.
Raised someone else's son.
He even almost lost his life and the throne of the Xiao family.
Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly buried his face in his hands.
From King Ding's perspective, he could only see the emperor's slightly trembling shoulders.
King Ding sighed. Speaking of which, the emperor was only a few years older than his family member Min'an.
After being the emperor for so long, King Ding forgot that this was once a child who hid in a corner and cried because he didn't finish his studies.
King Ding patted the emperor's shoulder and comforted the emperor like he comforted the child when he was a child:
"The emperor is a good emperor. It's not that the emperor was deceived badly, but that the villain who coveted Dayue behind the scenes was too cunning."
To be honest, the emperor does not have much to criticize as an emperor.
In a time of peace and prosperity, it is enough to maintain success.
As for discovering the conspiracy and calculations of the Immortality Cult, not to mention that the emperor was not smart in the first place, even the old Duke and these two old guys had nothing to do with the Immortality Cult.
The achievements we have achieved now are the result of our son’s family.
The emperor raised his head again, turned his back and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then turned to look at King Ding:
"Uncle Ding Wang, is there someone else who is coveting Dayue behind the scenes? Is there someone behind Yuan Xin, mother and son?"
Regarding this question, when the emperor knew that the demon was Daoyin, he had a vague answer in his heart.
King Ding looked at the emperor with relief and nodded affirmatively:
"Yes, that Daoyin's master is the national master, so I suspect that the real mastermind behind them is the national master."
"Also," King Ding paused and said:
"Qin Hongwen's biological father is also Daoyin."
Ah!
When the emperor heard this, he even forgot that he was sad.
His eyes widened in shock.
"Uncle Ding Wang?"
The person who cuckolded him and King Ding turned out to be the same person.
Then there was deep anger:
"Damn Daoyin, when I catch him, I will chop him into pieces and throw his meat to the dogs!"
Not only did he cuckold him, but he also cuckolded Uncle Ding!
How audacious!
“I’m not telling the Emperor this to make you angry, but I want to tell the Emperor that the people of the Immortality Sect have been planning behind the scenes for many years, and they are here for Dayue’s empire.
The enemies have not all been eliminated yet, so we must not relax our vigilance. "
"I know. I will ask the Duke of Zhen to thoroughly investigate the Immortality Cult hidden by Quan Da Yue."
The emperor narrowed his eyes, "But, Uncle Ding, what about the Imperial Master who is hiding behind the scenes?
Since that prayer for rain ten years ago, I have never seen the Imperial Master in Dayue again.
Is he dead or hiding?
It would be best if he died. If he hid, it would be difficult to find him even with his abilities. "
"Don't worry about this. If he has plans for Dayue, he will reveal his flaws sooner or later.
What the emperor has to do is to govern Dayue well, and he trusts us veterans. "
When the emperor heard this, he almost patted his chest to make sure.
"Uncle Ding, don't worry. My greatest advantage is that I listen to advice."
King Ding:…….
the other side.
Duke Zhen Guo led the imperial guards to Changchun to watch and arrest people.
It is evening now, and there are no crowds of people visiting the temple.
But with the murder of the emperor happening today, people will definitely not be allowed to visit Changchun Temple in the future.
The Duke of Zhen Guo asked Chu Mingye to lead some people to guard the entrance of Changchun Temple to prevent ordinary people from entering.
Su Min'an and Su Jingnian came to the back hall of the Taoist temple first.
The imagined scene of capturing Daoyin alive did not appear.
Duke Zhen Guo led troops to capture the Taoist temple people, and those who surrendered were left alive.
Those who resisted were killed on the spot.
After a round of fighting, everyone in the Taoist temple was finally controlled.
Daoyin was not found.
And the old Shi who escaped from the Immortality Sect valley last time is also missing.
After searching inside and outside Changchun Temple, Daoyin was not found.
Su Minan slapped Daochuan on the face.
"Tell me, where is Daoyin?"
Daochuan was seriously injured in the fight just now, and was slapped mercilessly by Su Minan until he vomited blood.
"Ahem, cough, cough, I don't know. Senior brother went out and didn't come back."
This is true. Daoyin, who was teleported away by the system, did not teleport back to the Taoist temple.
Instead, he appeared in a place that he didn't even know where he was.
Although the trip didn't capture Daoyin's people, it couldn't be in vain.
Su Minan and Su Jinnian came to the statue in the main hall.
The Duke of Zhen Guo had already heard about the glow of the statue that day and came over to join in the fun.
The three of them walked around the statue several times, but didn't see anything unusual.
"Dad, Uncle Chu, what should we do now?"
Su Jinnian asked, pointing to the statue which showed no abnormality.
"Smash it."
Su Minan suggested.
Dare to bully his wife and keep her for the New Year?
Duke Zhenguo was still rational and hesitantly said:
"Ahem, after all, it is the golden statue of Imperial Master Dayue. In order to arouse unnecessary public outrage, we should report it to the emperor first."
Su Minan also didn’t want to embarrass the Duke of Zhen:
"Okay, but... the Duke of Guo will go and report to the Emperor now. I will guard here. When the Emperor agrees, I will smash it on the spot.
Otherwise, things will change if it is too late.
The Duke of Guo knows that this statue is very evil. "
Duke Zhen Guo was trembling when Su Minan expressed his sense of urgency.
I originally planned to report to the emperor early tomorrow morning, but after hearing this, I immediately decided to go to the palace to report to the emperor.
Not a moment can be lost.
