Film and Television Daqing: Starting with the Heaven-Covering Technique and the Devouring Demon Art

I learned all of this from you!

After all, if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring!

Mei Zhili of Kyoto Prefecture had already retired to his hometown with his family, but wasn't he still wiped out by the Black Riders you sent?

Li Chengtian's words were like a thunderclap in the court, shocking everyone.

They never imagined that the Mei family, who had retired to their hometown, would not have been ambushed and killed by bandits, but rather by people sent by His Majesty.

Suddenly, everyone's gaze toward Emperor Qing changed. The awe they once held for him was now replaced by fear and doubt.

After all, the ministers present understood that they too would eventually grow old and retire, at which point they would also have to return to their hometowns.

If His Majesty really handles things the same way he treated the Mei family, wouldn't they also suffer the same fate?

Thinking of this, a chill ran through many people, and they began to re-examine this emperor, considering whether he was worthy of their continued loyalty.

Looking at the expressions of the officials below, Emperor Qing naturally understood what they were thinking. His anger erupted instantly, and he shouted loudly at Han Diaosi:

"Hong Siyang, seize this rebellious son for me!"

However, Han Diaosi did not act according to Emperor Qing's orders, but suddenly retreated and came behind Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing was too enraged to notice anything amiss.

Then, without hesitation, he stretched out his palm and slapped Emperor Qing hard on the back.

Bang!

With a loud bang, Emperor Qing's body was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing straight down at Li Chengtian's feet.

This sudden turn of events left everyone present dumbfounded, especially the officials who were still pondering Li Chengtian's words; their jaws nearly dropped in shock.

Although they were used to all sorts of unexpected things happening, it was truly unbelievable that His Majesty was ambushed by Han Diaosi this time.

Although their martial arts skills were not outstanding, their eyesight was quite good.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Han Diaosi (Hong Siyang) is a grandmaster!

Now, the fact that this Grandmaster's palm strike could only seriously injure His Majesty shows that His Majesty's own strength is probably not to be underestimated.

Otherwise, with just that one blow, a ninth-rank martial artist would probably have been smashed into a pulp.

Cough!

Emperor Qing lay on the ground, staring at Han Diaosi in disbelief, and questioned him:

"You are not Hong Siyang. The true energy in Hong Siyang's body was all transferred by me. It's impossible for him to have the strength of a Grandmaster. Who exactly are you?"

Upon hearing Emperor Qing's words, Han Diaosi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.

He flashed forward, appearing before Li Chengtian like a ghost, then knelt down and respectfully said:

"This servant greets Your Highness, the King of Qin."

Upon hearing Han Diaosi's words, Emperor Qing's face instantly turned extremely gloomy.

His eyes widened as he stared intently at Li Chengtian and Han Diaosi, a surge of indescribable anger and shock welling up within him.

He never imagined that he would be outmaneuvered by Li Chengtian and severely injured by a hidden master.

Li Chengtian looked at Han Diaosi, a faint smile on his face, and said softly:

"Get up!" His voice was calm and gentle, but it carried an undeniable authority.

Han Diaosi stood up and stood respectfully beside Li Chengtian, his eyes shining with reverence.

Then, Li Chengtian's expression remained calm, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth revealing a barely perceptible smile.

He slowly turned around, his gaze sharp and unwavering as he stared directly at Emperor Qing, as if he regarded the emperor as nothing at all.

His voice was deep and firm, like a cold wind on a chilly night, blowing straight into Emperor Qing's heart:

"Your Majesty, you are old, it is time for you to abdicate!"

These words were like a thunderbolt ripped through the sky, leaving everyone present stunned.

Emperor Qing stared wide-eyed at his son in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock and anger.

The Crown Prince's faction was utterly astonished, their faces filled with fear and unease, and they all knelt down, shouting:

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence. Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events and didn't know what to do, not even daring to breathe.

However, in this silence, a few people still stood firm.

Lin Xiang remained calm, as if he had long anticipated this day would come;

Fan Jian clenched his fists, his expression calm, but he was still somewhat nervous inside.

The eldest princess's face revealed a sinister expression, while she secretly rejoiced.

Li Chengze's lips twitched, and he thought to himself, "Damn it!"

Chen Pingping remained expressionless, arms crossed, as if she were detached from the situation.

The officials who usually followed the Third Prince and Prime Minister Lin were now terrified and trembling all over.

They thought today's events were merely to force Emperor Qing to depose the Crown Prince, but they never expected that the Second Prince would suddenly rebel and seize the throne.

This was not a simple coup, but a thrilling palace coup!

Everyone was filled with dread, fearing they would become victims of this storm.

In this tense and suffocating atmosphere, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

The once solemn and sacred palace is now filled with an atmosphere of fear and despair.

Emperor Qing, lying on the ground, stared wide-eyed, an expression of disbelief on his face, before his expression immediately turned into an extremely ferocious one.

He glared at Li Chengtian and roared, "You unfilial son, how dare you rebel?!"

Li Chengtian's lips curled slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he said calmly:

"Your Majesty is mistaken. It is Your Majesty who has suddenly fallen seriously ill today and has therefore abdicated the throne to your son."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing trembled with rage and pointed at Li Chengtian, cursing:

"Nonsense! How could I possibly be seriously ill, and how could I possibly abdicate in your favor?"

"Yes, as long as the people of the world believe it," Li Chengtian said confidently.

Emperor Qing sneered and said:

"huh huh huh huh."

"Do you really think that with Chen Pingping's 50,000 Black Riders and these people in the court, you can sit securely on the throne?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengtian scoffed and said, "Your Majesty, do you think I would have taken action if I hadn't been fully prepared?"

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Qiankun led the Red Armor Army into the hall.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Qing was overjoyed and immediately roared at Zheng Qiankun:

"Zheng Qiankun, you've come at the right time. Take this rebellious son down."

However, Zheng Qiankun suddenly stood still and showed no intention of making a move.

Emperor Qing immediately sensed something was wrong. He widened his eyes, glared at Zheng Qiankun, and shouted:

"Zheng Qiankun, are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said?"

Zheng Qiankun looked at Emperor Qing expressionlessly and slowly said:

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I have already pledged allegiance to His Highness the Prince of Qin."

As if to demonstrate his loyalty and determination to Li Chengtian, Zheng Qiankun knelt down on one knee before Li Chengtian without hesitation, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and bowed his head, saying:

"Your Highness, the entire capital and the palace are now completely under the control of General Ye and me. Please give us your orders!"

Upon hearing Zheng Qiankun's words, Emperor Qing immediately turned to look at Fan Jian, his eyes flashing with disbelief.

Fan Jian and Emperor Qing exchanged a glance and then quickly lowered their heads.

Emperor Qing knew perfectly well that Fan Jian had also betrayed him!

He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Emperor Qing looked around again, his heart filled with despair.

He watched as those who had once been loyal to him left one by one, betraying him.

The prime minister, Lin Ruofu, who held power over all officials, betrayed him;

Chen Pingping, who took charge of the Overwatch Council and commanded 50,000 Black Riders, betrayed him;

Fan Jian, who commanded 20,000 Red Armor Army soldiers and 100 Tiger Guards, betrayed him;

Ye Zhong, who commanded 100,000 troops in the capital, betrayed him;

His younger sister, Li Yunrui, who had always helped him with his affairs, also betrayed him.

At this moment, Emperor Qing thought of the only prince who had not betrayed him, who had just died at the feet of the second prince.

Emperor Qing now felt completely isolated and trapped in an unprecedented predicament.
