Chapter 137: Su Qin Strikes.
Edited by: Mochiusagi
The words of the Shufang King silenced the other nine Kings.
“Since none of this works, then should we just endure it?”
King Fan Yang frowned, he was dissatisfied.
“Shufang King, there must be a way, right?” The Beiting King looked at the Shufang King and asked.
“There is one way.” The Shufang King smiled. He looked at the other Kings and said: “We can’t kill the Emperor but… we can still teach him a lesson.”
“Let us send our will to the Emperor and let him know that if he wants to act on us Kings, it will not be easy.”
Listening to the Shufang King’s words, the eyes of the other Kings lit up.
Indeed, what the Shufang King said was very reasonable.
The Emperors of the Tang Empire have always been extremely hostile to the Kings, but killing one Emperor will not solve any problems.
Only by making the reigning Emperor retreat and completely abandon the idea of being hostile to the Kings, can the problem be solved fundamentally.
""
“Then how should we teach the Emperor?”
The Beiting King asked.
The Shufang King did not reply, instead he looked towards the other Kings: “In the past few years, you must have achieved some results in your infiltration of the court…”
The words of the Shufang King made all of the Kings’ complexions change.
The Kings were in their territory, thus the Emperor cannot do anything to them unless the latter wants a rebellion, hence they can act freely and be at ease from worries. But the Kings were not fools. Those who have a little bit of foresight, would draw Officials from the Imperial Court towards their side and use them as chess pieces in the court.
In this way, no matter what happens in the Imperial Court, they will know immediately.
“Shuofang King, why are you asking this?”
The Beiting King asked with extreme caution.
The Kings were not connected to the roots, and there was still friction between them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chosen an area that belongs to no one’s territory as their meeting place.
The moles (the Officials that they drew to their side) were the Kings’ secrets. If they were known by the Emperor, their effort for recruiting a mole would be for naught.
“It’s easy.”
“We’re going to use these chess pieces to teach the Emperor a lesson…”
The Shufang King looked at the other Kings and said.
“A lesson through them?”
“Please tell us more.”
The Kings glanced at each other and asked.
…
Chang’an City.
In the Imperial Palace, Primal Chaos Palace.
Emperor Li Sheng sat on the Dragon Throne, full of energy and in deep thought.
“Those who have some opinions, you may come forward!”
Emperor Li Sheng glanced casually at the Officials and said indifferently.
An Official then stood up. He bowed slightly and loudly said: “Your Majesty, the Kings are the foundation of the country. I hope that Your Majesty will take back his Order and no longer interfere with the Kings’ succession…”
After the Official finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and didn’t get up again.
“Huh?”
Emperor Li Sheng slightly frowned.
He had already expressed his determination some time ago, yet there was still an Official who stood up and dissuaded him? He had not expected this.
When Emperor Li Sheng was about to reprimand the Official, another Official stood up at this time: “Your Majesty, the Kings are the foundation of the country. I hope that Your Majesty will take back his Order and no longer interfere with the Kings’ succession…”
Emperor Li Sheng’s brows tightly frowned as he looked at the second Official, who said the same thing.
Not waiting for Emperor Li Sheng to speak, voices sounded one after another.
“Your Majesty, the Kings are the foundation of the country. I hope that Your Majesty will take back his Order and no longer interfere with the Kings’ succession…”
“Your Majesty, the Kings are the foundation of the country. I hope that Your Majesty will take back his Order and no longer interfere with the Kings’ succession…”
…
…
More and more Officials stepped forward to dissuade Emperor Li Sheng.
Almost half of the Officials present have knelt down, begging Emperor Li Sheng to take back his Order.
""
The Officials that knelt were mostly Rank 6 and 7 Officials. They were usually very unremarkable, but at this moment when they were all kneeling down together, there was an inexplicable imposing manner from them.
When the remaining Officials who did not kneel saw this scene, their expressions changed slightly.
“You guys?!”
“You guys?!!!”
Emperor Li Sheng’s face was extremely ugly.
At this moment, how could he still not know that these Officials’ behavior was caused by the Kings?
The Kings were using this method to warn Emperor Li Sheng that if he dared to intervene, he might not be able to protect the throne.
“Fine!”
“You guys are really good!”
Emperor Li Sheng stood up and glared at the kneeling Officials.
“I promoted and treated you fairly, but you ran to the Kings?”
Emperor Li Sheng was so angry, he felt betrayed.
“Come!”
“Take all of these people away!”
Emperor Li Sheng said every word with rage.
A large number of Imperial Troops then came in and all of the kneeling Officials were taken out.
“You are all dismissed!”
Since this had already happened, Emperor Li Sheng naturally did not intend to continue the discussion. He waved his sleeves and left the Primal Chaos Palace.
…
In the Long Life Temple.
Emperor Li Sheng sat on the Dragon Throne.
“Did I really do something wrong?”
Emperor Li Sheng fell into self-doubt.
If he was a cold Emperor, of course he would not care about the Officials, but he was not.
He paid great attention to the well-being of the Officials, but just now, the Officials turned against him. This made Emperor Li Sheng question his Order and cutting off the Kings.
A few days later.
Emperor Li Sheng fell ill from his extreme doubts.
Ever since Emperor Li Sheng ascended the throne, he had been conscientious in his work for nearly ten years and was not negligent in any aspect.
Although he was fine physically, he has long been under tremendous pressure mentally.
Currently, the betrayal of the Officials was no different from the last straw that crushed the camel and caused Emperor Li Sheng to fall into a mental breakdown.
For a time, the Imperial Palace was in chaos.
The Officials and Queen Su Yueyun gathered in the Long Life Temple.
After checking Emperor Li Sheng’s condition, the Imperial Doctors frowned.
No Imperial Doctor dared to promise to cure Emperor Li Sheng.
They couldn’t think of a way to do so.
“Your Majesty…”
""
Queen Su Yueyun laid down in front of the Dragon Throne. She looked at Emperor Li Sheng, who had passed out in a coma, and was crying.
At the same time.
The Kings, who had been paying close attention to the changes in the Court, immediately learned of this.
“Hahahahaha.”
“You’re a hundred years too early if you think you can try to do something to us Kings.”
The Beiting King sneered.
The other Kings did the same.
…
Imperial Palace.
Outside the East Palace Right Spring Square.
Su Qin had his hands behind his back, his Divine Sense spread and covered the Long Life Temple.
“Mental breakdown… no ordinary medicine can cure him…”
Su Qin thought silently.
The illness that Emperor Li Sheng was facing at this moment, was the various hidden dangers caused by a mental breakdown. If he was not treated in time, even if he can survive in the end, his vitality will be greatly damaged and it will affect his lifespan.
“That’s enough.”
Su Qin sighed slightly. He took a step and disappeared in place.
The next moment, Su Qin’s figure appeared silently outside the Long Life Temple.
