Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning
Chapter 372, Congratulations to Emperor Qing for his achievement. He killed his mother and brother,
Emperor Qing was sitting in the main hall and saw the dense wounds on Qin Ye's body.
He stood there in a daze for a long time until a close servant called him softly and woke up Emperor Qing.
"Qin Ye is dead too..."
Emperor Qing stared at Qin Ye's wound, his tone sounding unclear.
However, the attendant heard some fear and anxiety from Emperor Qing.
Hong Sixiang died in battle at Mount Dadong, his two sons rebelled, and the eldest princess led the ministers of the Qing Kingdom to act as mascots of the Han Dynasty.
The only people that Emperor Qing could truly trust were the eldest prince Li Chengru and Qin Ye.
As for Prince Jing and Fan Jian, they had already been won over by Fan Xian. How could they possibly die for the Qing Kingdom?
"A righteous man has many supporters, while an unrighteous man has few. I never thought that one day I would really be alone."
Emperor Qing groaned softly, his tone was particularly complicated.
The attendant immediately knelt on the ground.
"I hope Your Majesty can cheer up. There are too many noble families gathered in Jinling City now. If the news of the Privy Envoy's defeat and death is leaked, I'm afraid there will be unusual movements."
To say that there was an unusual movement is an understatement.
The aristocratic families in Jinling City will probably seize the time to infiltrate the Emperor Qing's only remaining 150,000 veteran soldiers of the Qing Kingdom.
He wanted to escape from Jinling City and flee overseas with Fan Xian.
There may be some noble families loyal to Emperor Qing, but they are definitely not many.
Emperor Qing is harsh and suspicious of others, and there is no affection between the monarch and his subjects.
It was obvious that Emperor Qing also understood this matter, and his expression turned cold.
"I am not Li Chengru, nor am I Qin Ye. I won my throne with every sword and every gun. If these noble families still want to engage in internal strife, I will let them see that the sky of Qing Kingdom will never change."
Outside the hall, the trembling little eunuch knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has ordered that you have a conversation in the harem."
Emperor Qing was silent for a while and waved his hand.
"I know. I'm afraid Prince Jing has gone there too."
The young eunuch was in a dilemma and could only kneel on the ground, trembling.
Even though the Supervisory Council is ambivalent towards Emperor Qing, the Western Factory left by Hong Sixiang for Emperor Qing will always be his sharpest sword.
There is no way to obtain intelligence about the Qing Kingdom, but it is more than enough to monitor the people around.
Emperor Qing looked somewhat desolate, and for the first time he spoke in a very emotional tone.
"Why is this so?"
"Call the Imperial Guards."
The personal attendant was stunned on the spot. Emperor Qing would not need to summon the imperial guards when he went to pay a visit to the Queen Mother. Could there be any danger?
The empress dowager lay on the phoenix bed in her old age, breathing very weakly, her eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.
Prince Jing was beside the Queen Mother, wiping his crocodile tears.
The Queen Mother's proudest son is Emperor Qing, and her favorite daughter is the eldest princess. He, Prince Jing, seems to be an insignificant filler.
But it doesn’t matter. From today on, these things will never happen again.
There was a hidden gleam in Prince Jing's eyes.
Emperor Qing looked at his old mother step by step and half-knelt on the ground to salute.
"The child greets his mother."
The Queen Mother shifted her gaze to Emperor Qing with difficulty, her expression complicated.
Perhaps she should have died when she secretly teamed up with the ministers to kill Ye Qingmei, but she wanted to see Emperor Qing unify the world.
Afterwards, there was a great change in the Kingdom of Qing. Emperor Gao, Liu Hong, led his army against Qing and even captured the capital.
Although the Queen Mother was not killed, the Han soldiers escorted Emperor Qing's relatives to Jiangnan, and of course there was nothing good to say along the way.
At that time, the Queen Mother was thinking that she had to stay alive so that Emperor Qing could kill all these traitors once again, and only then could she die in peace.
And then, Qing Kingdom suffered a series of strategic and tactical failures.
The empress dowager, who was already in poor health, was so angry that she almost died.
"Your Majesty..."
The Queen Mother's voice was hoarse and had a hint of crying.
"Can Jinling City be defended?"
Emperor Qing fell silent. Of course he couldn't hold on any longer.
Hangzhou City has been lost, the north gate of Qing Kingdom is open, and the Han army can directly take the entire Jiangnan region into its possession.
Relying on an isolated city, defending it for a year is not a problem, but what about three years, or five years?
When the Queen Mother saw Emperor Qing's appearance, she felt somewhat desperate and almost spoke in tears.
"Emperor, I don't want to be the heir of a fallen country, nor do I want you to be the king of a fallen country. Follow your brother's advice and flee overseas."
Emperor Qing suddenly raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief.
He really didn't expect the Queen Mother to say such words.
This is the land that nurtured their ancestors. Losing Kyoto is already painful enough, do they want to give up Jiangnan?
Then Emperor Qing looked at Prince Jing who was standing by the side and laughed, his eyes gloomy and expressionless.
"It's you, it must be you..."
Prince Jing cupped his hands. If Emperor Qing was not a great master, he would not even want to show the most basic respect. Emperor Qing wanted to unify the world. In the past few years, he has been promoting national debt and losing land. He is simply a tyrant and a weak ruler!
The Queen Mother raised her hand and looked at Emperor Qing sincerely.
"Prince Jing has already told me that Fan Xian discovered an area of 500 li (1.3 km) overseas, which is almost half the size of Jiangnan."
"As long as you escape from Jiangnan, you will still be the emperor."
Emperor Qing laughed coldly.
It sounds nice, but a land of 500 li is not fit to be an emperor? Even the title of king has some meaning of self-enclosed territory.
Moreover, who can be sure that Liu Hong will not kill them all and send troops overseas?
Prince Jing's words were like a shot in the arm for the Queen Mother and like a bolt from the blue for Emperor Qing.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Fan Xian has become a Grandmaster, and may be the strongest Grandmaster in history."
"The two great masters guarding the land of 500 miles are qualified to bargain with the Emperor Gao."
That was the original idea.
Emperor Qing raised his head and looked at Prince Jing. He never expected that his younger brother, who had always been humble and submissive, was now looking straight at him.
Emperor Qing didn't know how Fan Xian broke through to the Grandmaster level, but he definitely relied on the Grandmaster's body.
Emperor Qing stroked his own skin, the hot flesh and blood contained countless domineering true energy.
Perhaps the current Emperor Qing is food to Fan Xian.
By killing Emperor Qing, Fan Xian can transplant Ba Dao's flesh and blood, and he will become stronger.
For Emperor Qing, who had experienced countless betrayals, Prince Jing's promise was like the paper used to wipe his butt in the toilet.
Discard at will.
Emperor Qing sat gently beside the Queen Mother, caressing her face tenderly with his hand.
"Don't worry, mother. I won't let you become the heir of a fallen nation."
Prince Jing laughed. It seemed that Emperor Qing had fallen into a trap.
"That's good, then..."
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief before she could finish her words.
Emperor Qing's palm seemed to be made of steel. He gripped the empress dowager's neck tightly, making her face turn red.
Prince Jing was so frightened that he took a few steps back and couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing? The Queen Mother is your biological mother!"
The imperial guards, who had been prepared, were lying in ambush outside the palace. Upon hearing Prince Jing's panicked words, they swarmed in and surrounded Prince Jing.
Prince Jing finally understood at this time.
It turns out that Emperor Qing had already anticipated this day.
The fall of Kyoto and Hangzhou, and the ongoing infighting between the royal faction and the aristocratic families had long made Emperor Qing wary.
Once, but not three or four times.
Emperor Qing had already made up his mind that even if all the noble families in Jinling City were in power, he would not allow this group of noble families who were holding him back to interfere.
Anyway, the Qing Kingdom is bound to lose the world now, so there is no need to support so many officials.
The Queen Mother struggled frantically, but how could an old woman compete with a great master in strength?
Soon his body became stiff and his eyes became lifeless.
Emperor Qing gently reached out his hand, closed the Queen Mother's eyes, and spoke in a low voice.
"Mother, even if you die, the Qing Kingdom will not be destroyed. You are not the queen who destroyed the country."
Emperor Qing felt bad after killing his mother with his own hands, but he quickly shifted his gaze to Prince Jing and spoke gently.
"Brother, our mother is dead. She is very lonely on the road to the underworld. You should go and accompany her."
Prince Jing was shocked and angry, and almost shouted at him.
"You are crazy, you are really crazy! You are willing to defend Qing Kingdom to the death, but we are not! This is not our Qing Kingdom."
Emperor Qing just waved his hand, the imperial guards brandished their swords and spears, and Prince Jing bled to the ground on the spot.
No wonder Liu Hong often said that aristocratic families were parasites of the dynasty.
So that's why, because this group of people all think so.
They are only willing to enjoy rights but not obligations. If they cannot seize more power in the new dynasty, they will annex land or flee overseas.
In essence, this group of people are of the same ilk as Emperor Qing, and they only think about themselves.
After doing all this, Emperor Qing couldn't help but tremble.
He murdered his mother, brother, and wife, plotted against his offspring, his son and sister rebelled, and he schemed against the ministers in the court. He made the border army bigger and lost land...
I really don’t dare to imagine how I will be recorded in history books.
Emperor Qing Yang, Emperor Qing You... ?
Emperor Qing closed his eyes, and after a long time, all his emotions were suppressed in his heart.
Regardless of how history books record him, he was a resolute king, not a timid villain.
"Let's go and attend the court meeting. This court meeting will be exciting!" (End of this chapter)
