Chapter 269 Don’t fool yourself too

The old emperor was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.

He can't even hold an inkstone now, let alone use the same thunderous methods as when he was young.

At that time, no one in the entire Da Qi dared to act rashly in front of him.

He was born to be an emperor and should have been at the pinnacle of power.

Now everything he had was slipping away from his hands, and he was trying desperately to hold on to it.

No matter how powerful a person is, he is helpless in the face of his aging body.

"You dare to force the emperor to abdicate today. Aren't you afraid that people will say that you took the throne illegitimately and made a deal with the Imperial Master?"

The old emperor sneered and looked at Li Heng, who had a straight back and a correct posture.

"So, he really failed?"

Without the checks and balances of the imperial mausoleum, which emperor would dare to use this knife?

This was a chess move he had spent decades preparing for Da Qi. After this bastard took over, he turned around and attacked his own father.

Abdicate? Impossible!
"As long as the Imperial Master remains in Da Qi, Da Qi's rule will be forever secure."

A hint of madness flashed in the old emperor's eyes. "I set up a plan to let the national teacher serve Da Qi. What's wrong with that?"

The expressions of the people below changed slightly. They really didn't expect this angle.

Everyone was a military general, not good at speaking, and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

It is true that the sage instructed to use the fighting among the princes to delay the support from the north, and it is also true that correspondence was exchanged with foreigners.

But in this war, it was indeed the Imperial Master who saved the Great Qi, just as it was several decades ago.
In this case, can the saint be considered to have betrayed Da Qi?

When the old emperor saw that he had deceived half of his subordinates, he felt that he had done well.

Liu Yunyan stepped forward and said, “Twenty-six years ago, Da Qi and the foreigners had their last battle at Youyun Pass.

Five thousand light cavalry, ten thousand infantry, including bows and arrows, light and heavy crossbows, these elite troops who had taken so much effort to train, all died in the north.

We should not have lost that battle. If this team could have stayed and General He was still here, how could the power of the Great Qi be weakened to this extent? "

That was the strongest fighting force of Da Qi at that time.

Isn't it outrageous to exchange a country's strength for a person?
There must be another reason.

As long as you study it carefully, you will find that although the saint killed so many royal family members in the past, at that time, the Great Qi won victory after victory and recovered the mountains and rivers. He was clearly already firmly sitting on the throne!
Is it necessary to purge the royal family?

"When will it be your turn to see a woman questioning me?!"

The old emperor was so angry that his body trembled when he saw that everyone was trying to force him to confess.

In fact, he himself believed it over the years. He did it for the sake of Da Qi and the people.

Now that it has been exposed, I am furious.

"As the commander of the Shuozhou City garrison, I stand here today on behalf of all the soldiers in the North."

Liu Yunyan had been somewhat respectful and humble like a subject before, but now he was no longer pretending and was looking straight ahead with sharp eyes.

She is defending her country in the north, why can't she stand here and speak?
Being forced to this point, the old emperor knew that his situation was hopeless.

But asking him to abdicate from the throne and issue a self-criticism edict, turning from a wise monarch into a tyrant who colluded with the enemy and killed his meritorious officials, would be more painful than killing him.

He boasted that his achievements were on par with those of Taizu, and he also wanted to be worshipped by the people, become an immortal after his death, and continue to enjoy the life of an emperor.

"Where is the Imperial Master? Has he also entered the palace? Let him come out to see me!"

The old emperor was now in an ugly and hysterical state, his voice like an old bellows, and he no longer had the intimidating power he had before.

Outside the palace, two figures slowly approached. The eunuchs at the door, who were terrified, stepped back two steps to make way. "Is it really necessary to go through so much trouble to stamp the imperial seal?"

Wen Zhi chuckled casually, took the edict of repentance, walked up to the high seat slowly, and in the old emperor's frightened eyes, raised his hand and waved it in front of him.

Coming now gives the people of Da Qi time to solve the problem themselves.

It would be too easy to let the old emperor die like this. He would have to issue a confession of guilt to the world, bear the accusation of collaborating with the enemy and killing meritorious officials, and then die after abdicating.

"What are you doing?"

The old emperor looked at the sword in his hand and his mind suddenly buzzed.

How did he get Taizu's sword?
Isn't the Imperial Mausoleum foolproof?!
Thinking of this, the old emperor glared at Li Heng, "What happened? You just watched him move the imperial mausoleum? How can you be the crown prince!"

He was really broken.

Li Heng forced him to abdicate, he was just angry, now he is desperate.

After planning for a lifetime, Taizu's sword was still taken away by Wen Zhi.

What does it mean? Everything he did, in the end, nothing.

Without the token, how can Da Qi control Wen Zhi?

This is the sword he left for Da Qi. Even if the country's fortune declines, so what? As long as the national teacher is controlled, Da Qi will not perish.

What now?
How could the Great Qi produce such an unfilial descendant!
This is a misunderstanding of Li Heng. He is not just watching, he is just helpless.

"Father, Miss Shen has already found a way to break the code and bypass the Tomb Guarding Village." Li Heng replied calmly.

Only then did the old emperor see Shen You standing in the hall. This was the master he had been trying every means to find.

The tall man just raised his head and looked at the architectural structure of the temple, and everyone was looking at him.

The old emperor subconsciously asked, "What did they use to open the imperial tomb?"

In such a short time, even if we find a way to crack it, it would be impossible to dig it open.

Li Heng himself didn't want to know what it was.

Wen Zhi and Shen You ignored the old emperor.

You can't say it's explosives from the end of the world.

In the era of cold weapons, the old emperor's preparations were simply a miracle. Anyone who saw it would have to say it was amazing.

I really found a solution. It can't be dug open in a short time, but it only takes a few seconds to explode.

Shen You only needs to help Wen Zhi blow up the correct location, and the five elements layout inside is not a problem for him.

"You are the master who helped Da Qi on the battlefield!" The old emperor turned to Shen You, excited.
"As long as you keep me alive, I can give you all the rare treasures in the world!"

Doesn’t she like treasures?

He could give her the richest state as a fiefdom.

She can break the trap set by the previous warden. As long as she is willing, she can definitely save herself!
"I'm not helping Da Qi." Shen You smiled slightly and continued to stab.
"Besides, it was me who made the deal with the prince. The Feng Shui of the imperial mausoleum has been broken. I helped Da Qi finish what the supervisor was unable to do, to ensure that the people of Nanzhou Prefecture are safe."

"You betrayed me and killed my heroes. I dare not do anything for you. Besides, your fate is coming to an end and no one can change it."

"You..." The old emperor was even more devastated when he thought of the cultivation method she had given him in exchange. "The thing you traded with me was fake?!"

"How could that be?" Shen You said confidently, "The stuff is real. I just said it can improve your mind and body. Just tell me if that's right, right?"

If there really is a way to become an immortal, could she give it to the old emperor?
The last hope was shattered, and the old emperor collapsed on his seat with a deathly pale face.

"Okay, it's ok to deceive others, but don't deceive yourself, for the sake of Da Qi and the people?"

Wen Zhi's eyes fell on the old emperor's face, as if he was talking about something funny.
