Even emperors have it tough, so don't be too picky about the entries.

Chapter 62 I have [my father's generation was attacked]

Killing the emperor? Killing what emperor? Naturally, it was Chen Yuan.

Everyone present was intelligent, and they all understood his meaning immediately upon hearing it.

She instructed Chen Shao to prepare a welcoming ceremony outside the city, while she went ahead to ambush and kill Chen Yuan on the way, framing the Northern Barbarians.

Killing a king is comparable to the destruction of a country and the extermination of its people.

From then on, the Great Yan and the Northern Mang would be enemies for all eternity.

How could the common people and soldiers not be determined to risk their lives?

"Absolutely not!"

Yu Qi'an, being a gentleman, immediately objected upon hearing this.

"Mr. Shen, that's the retired emperor. How could a subject do such a thing?"

"Moreover, the name of regicide can never be washed away for thousands of years."

"Why are you so old-fashioned, you surnamed Yu?"

Shen Qingci glared at him. "Don't you know what kind of person Chen Yuan is? With him around, the Great Yan can forget about having a good day."

"If he hadn't levied exorbitant taxes to satisfy his personal desires, where would the Yellow Turban Rebellion have come from?"

"If he hadn't indulged the indecisiveness of the regional military governors, how could they have become so powerful and uncontrollable!"

"If he hadn't been so ambitious and foolish, there wouldn't have been the humiliation he suffered at the city walls the other day."

"If this kind of person doesn't die out there, it's an insult to the Great Yan."

"You, Yu Qi'an, want a reputation for loyalty to the emperor and filial piety, but I, Shen Qingci, have no need for that."

"I'd rather sacrifice myself for righteousness than let the world turn upside down after me! I'll do it!"

"I, Shen Qingci, will bear all the infamy!"

Yu Qi'an was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.

Bai Bingbing, standing beside him, trembled and looked at Shen Qingci with a complicated expression.

Chen Shao waved his hand:

"Mr. Shen, I know you are very capable, but you can stop for now."

"Since the Northern Barbarians sent the Emperor Emeritus back, they must have already considered this point and made thorough preparations."

"The probability of an assassination succeeding is almost zero."

This kind of stubborn donkey cannot be pulled; you can only stroke its fur in the right direction. Chen Shao understood this principle well.

"Moreover, it's alright if you, Shen Qingci, die, but I will lose a capable assistant, and the Great Yan will lose a future prime minister."

"Can you bear to abandon those people who are eagerly awaiting a peaceful and prosperous future?"

"That's true."

Shen Qingci nodded emphatically in agreement. She was very confident in her governance skills, but she was just unlucky to be born at the wrong time and to encounter an emperor like Chen Yuan who was not a human being.

"So, what should we do?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, Chen Yuan's return will inevitably lead to his restoration, and the Great Yan Dynasty will be in grave danger."

Chen Shao wasn't too worried.

Now he has his own team and is no longer at the mercy of others.

Besides, this was bound to happen sooner or later, so returning now might not necessarily be a bad thing for me.

If used properly, it can be a one-time solution that lasts a lifetime, and it can also make one's actions legitimate.

I'm afraid that in the eyes of the world now, I'm just a figurehead emperor.

"Mr. Shen, do not worry. Let's first observe the attitude of the court officials to find out how many bad people are in the organization."

"Alright."

After the others took their leave, only Chen Shao and Eunuch Wei remained in the Imperial Study.

Chen Shao had been fiddling with the teacup in his hand, and as he did so, he suddenly seemed to wake up from a dream.

I have an entry for "My father's generation was attacked".

Chen Yuan's nickname was always in his own hands.

Were we already in an invincible position?

He waved to Eunuch Wei.

"Old Wei, go and get me some arsenic."

Eunuch Wei asked instinctively:

"Arsenic is a highly poisonous substance. What does Your Majesty need it for?"

"Try it."

Eunuch Wei was so frightened he nearly lost his mind, and his knees buckled as he knelt down with a thud.

Tears streamed down the old man's face.

"Your Majesty, please...please don't do anything rash. If you can't defeat the Emperor Emeritus, this old servant will help you get away from this place of trouble..."

"Get out of here, stop talking nonsense and just get to work."

"By the way, make it thick and creamy."

Chen Shao's idea was excellent: he would drink poison himself and transfer the poison to Chen Yuan through the "enemy attack on his father's generation".

But when he saw the arsenic in front of him, which looked like a porridge, he still hesitated.

How much can this thing actually transfer?

If only half of them are transferred, it would be a mutual destruction.

Arsenic poison, which was used to kill people, was quickly eliminated by him.

Burning or drowning are also not options.

After much deliberation, I decided that if all else failed, I might as well just cut myself in the nick of time.

Let Bai Bingbing take action, in a way that doesn't harm anyone, to quantify the extent of the transfer.

He had just told Old Wei to put it away when another eunuch came to report that Prime Minister Han and General Yuwen had arrived together.

"These two are really impatient."

Chen Shao whispered a few words in Eunuch Wei's ear, leaving Eunuch Wei stunned.

......

When Han Cao and Yuwen Huagu stepped across the threshold of the imperial study, they were both dumbfounded.

Inside the main hall, Chen Shaoan sat steadily on the dragon throne, with Yuwen Mingzhu massaging his back behind him, and Han Qingwan feeding him grapes one by one from a bowl in her arms.

The key point is that the two women seemed to be enjoying it.

Upon witnessing this scene, the two pillars of the empire nearly collapsed.

Damn it, she's only been in the palace for two days and she's turned into this?

Han Cao was filled with rage. Was this his well-educated, gentle, and virtuous daughter?

How is this any different from a vixen?

Yu Wenhua is no better. Last time he asked his daughter to massage his shoulders, she said, "Are you getting too big for your britches?"

This is fucking ridiculous!

This is your vow to never marry!

So someone just flattered me?

The two women also noticed their arrival.

But Chen Shao had already communicated with them about this matter, wanting to show his father their unwavering faith in the Dao, thus resolving the issue once and for all.

At this moment, he simply stood up, bowed slightly to the two elderly people whose blood was surging, and then gracefully withdrew.

Han Cao and Yuwen Huagu were struck dumb, their heads slowly turning to follow their figures until the door slammed shut.

That's when I came to my senses.

Yuwen Huagu couldn't control his emotions and wished he could kill Chen Shao with a single sword stroke.

He took two steps forward and slammed his hand on the table.

"This is outrageous! How dare you humiliate my daughter like this?"

Chen Shao feigned ignorance:

"General, what you say makes no sense. You rushed Mingzhu to the palace overnight, and I happen to have nothing to do at the moment. Wouldn't it be a waste of your kindness not to favor her?"

"Fortunately, I am still quite brave, and Mingzhu seems quite satisfied, so I have not let the General down."

"you!"

Han Cao interrupted the enraged Yuwen Huagu.

He was equally furious; no father could bear to witness such a situation.

But he was much more rational.

"His Majesty!"

"Such a blatant declaration in broad daylight..."

He couldn't bring himself to say that word, so he changed it to:

"As the ruler of a nation, Your Majesty should prioritize state affairs and not indulge in pleasure."

"Damn, that's not how you say it."

Chen Shao said solemnly:

"This isn't me indulging in pleasure, it's them..."
