Chapter 268: Sinner’s Edict

Shen You also asked this question.

Wen Zhi said it didn’t matter, it was just the old emperor who thought so.

Shen You said calmly, "There is a clause about recovering lost territory, but why do you think the Twelve States are included in it?"

Having said that, he stopped explaining.

She offered to help Li Heng develop water conservancy projects, not for Da Qi, but just for ordinary people living in this area.

The imperial mausoleum is a time bomb, and there will always be a change of dynasty in the future.

Someone wants to open the imperial mausoleum to raise military funds, and the ones who will suffer are the ordinary people who come from here to Nanzhou.

Only by choosing a suitable location, building water conservancy projects, replanning villages and towns, and abolishing the imperial mausoleum can we avoid future troubles.

On the other side, inside the palace.

The old emperor sat in the hall, forcing himself to wait.

The sky was clear just now, but now, dark clouds are floating in and blocking the sunlight, and the sky is rapidly getting dark.

The light in the palace disappeared along with the lights, and the spotless dark floor was shrouded in shadows, glowing with a cold light.

"Saint, the second young lady of the Liu family and General Situ have brought people into the palace."

The young eunuch came running to report in a panic, "They, they haven't taken off their armor, they're still wearing swords."

Wearing armor and carrying weapons into the palace, this means he is rebelling!

The old emperor sneered, "Is the Imperial Master here?"

"No, not among them." replied the young eunuch.

The old emperor was relieved. Without the imperial teacher, how could these people have the guts to seize power and usurp the throne?

Their relatives are watched by the imperial guards, and every family has someone in the palace. The Liu family's person is Liu Zheng. If anything happens, their relatives will be the first to die.

Soon, news that the Shuozhou garrison and the Northern Expedition Army's generals wanted to meet reached the palace.

The old emperor looked at the few people who had taken off their swords and came to see him, his face was extremely gloomy.

"You returned to the capital without permission and entered the palace wearing armor. Are you trying to force the emperor to abdicate?"

"I don't dare."

Several people below said in unison.

"It's just that I don't understand one thing." Liu Yunyan was the first to step forward and looked at the old emperor with a resolute expression.
"Since we serve in the army and defend our country, it is an honor to die on the battlefield.

But I would like to ask a question on behalf of the soldiers who died on the battlefield in Shuozhou City: When Shuozhou was besieged by foreigners, why was the reinforcement and food supplies deliberately delayed?

Thirty years ago, foreigners fought outside the capital. It took Da Qi four years to drive them out and it was only one step away from recovering the twelve states.

Saint, may I ask you, why did you make an agreement with foreigners to cede twelve states just to ask them to cooperate in killing the heroes?

What on earth is the reason that makes you make such a decision? ! "

How many soldiers in Shuozhou City could have saved their lives? They could have accepted dying on the battlefield or at the hands of foreigners.

But how can we accept that they were abandoned by the emperor they were loyal to while fighting on the front line? !
"Do you think so too?" The old emperor knew that Liu Yunyan was promoted by the imperial master, so he glanced past her and looked at the other people.

Seeing that several people agreed, his murderous intent became stronger.

"Well, as a subject, I eat the emperor's salary and bear the emperor's worries. You actually rushed into the palace and questioned me, and you said you dare not?"

"What else are you afraid of?"

The old emperor shouted harshly. He couldn't exert any strength with his hands and couldn't smash the inkstone even if he wanted to. However, the pressure from his body still made people dare not underestimate it.

"Your Highness only wishes to ask the Saint to resolve our doubts." Deputy General Situ said this, and his expression indicated that he was asking for an explanation.

It is a huge joke that a saint is a traitor.

How can these soldiers who are fighting on the front line feel at ease?

More than 20 years ago, he was able to kill meritorious officials, and today he is also able to destroy bridges after crossing the river. "During this battle with the foreigners, we seized a letter from the foreign prince. I think that since the saint is a role model for the world, he should give an explanation to the world."

Liu Yunyan held the framed letter in both hands and unfolded it.

The other generals also said loudly at this moment, "We ask the saint to give an explanation to the people of the world."

"We ask the Saint to give an explanation to the people of the world!"

Repeated words, firm voices, and the murderous aura that had lingered from the battlefield among the people.

The old emperor on the high throne watched this scene and wanted to say nothing. He was so angry that his eyes almost turned black and he almost passed out.

If he wasn't in poor health now, would it be possible for these people to stand in front of him and question him?

When they enter the hall with their armor on, we can kill them all!
After a long pause, the most powerful man in the world asked, "What do you think?"

"Please ask the saint to issue an edict of repentance." Deputy General Situ said firmly.

"presumptuous!"

The old emperor's heart was beating violently, and he slammed his palm on the table, but with his current physical strength, even if he used all his strength, he couldn't make any sound.

The edict of repentance was meant to force him to abdicate.

He is the emperor, he has kept the Great Qi stable for decades, how dare these people...
"A foreigner sent me a letter to bring disaster to the Great Qi Dynasty. Did you really believe it?"

"Or have you already surrendered to foreigners? Do you want to take advantage of my serious illness to seize the Great Qi Empire?!"

"It is easy to verify whether the letter is true or false. Please let the old ministers in the court take a look and you will know." Liu Yunyan raised his head.

They are all military generals and might have made a mistake, but the elders in the court would naturally recognize him.

"Rebellion, you all rebelled!" The old emperor stared at the letter in Liu Yunyan's hand, his eyes bloodshot.

He had sent his most elite spies to search for the foreign capital, but it should have been destroyed.

I didn't expect that the foreigner had kept a copy.

Until now, there is still something he can't figure out. Wen Zhi went to the north to lure out the foreign prince and get the letter.

"Come here! Capture these traitors for me!"

The old emperor shouted a few words at the door, but no one paid any attention to him.

At this time, he also realized that something was wrong, and his face became even uglier.

"Where is the prince?! Are all the imperial guards in the palace dead?"

The young eunuch stumbled in from the door, "Outside, outside, it's all here"

There was no imperial guards to respond to the old emperor; they all turned against him.

The imperial teacher led a thousand light cavalry and dared to fight against the foreign cavalry. There was no way the palace guards could defeat them.

What's more, the prince has acquiesced.

Li Heng brought He Haizhou into the palace. In his hands was clearly a written edict of repentance, waiting for the old emperor to stamp it with the imperial seal.

The moment he saw him, the old emperor's blood boiled, and after a while he said, "Rebellious son, it turns out that you can't wait to sit on this position!"

Li Heng knelt down and bowed respectfully. Since he was both a father and a king, he should kneel.

"Father, I may have selfish motives, but I can only stand on the side of Da Qi."

The emperor can use any means necessary, and can also betray the imperial teacher.

As long as what he does benefits his people, it will be recorded in history books as a merit.

But as an emperor, supported by the people of the world, it is not okay to betray the country and the people.

Li Heng was well aware that if the anger of the soldiers was not calmed and an explanation was not given to them, the Great Qi would be lost.
