Chapter 170 Utter Defeat

"Now that King Zhao is dead, but the new emperor is still alive, this is not the time for internal strife. Protect the new emperor!"

King Zhao is dead, but the new emperor is still alive, so they haven't really lost.

As expected of Prime Minister Luo, he managed to change the minds of those who hated him with just a few words, temporarily suppressing their doubts and uniting them against external forces.

Although they questioned Prime Minister Luo, they didn't really convict him. Prime Minister Luo came here with King Zhao and was the first to acknowledge the imperial edict. By all accounts, he shouldn't be considered a rebel.

"King Zhao is dead! King Zhao is dead!"

Someone shouted loudly, and when the Sixth Prince heard it, his morale was immediately boosted.

"Kill them!"

Although King Zhao supported his own son to ascend the throne, everyone knew that King Zhao was the true ruler and the backbone of the government.

When King Zhao died, the soldiers couldn't help but panic. They instinctively turned around to check, only to see King Zhao pinned to his wheelchair by a long spear, his eyes wide open in death.

In an instant, the courage to fight was shattered, and the spirit began to dissipate.

The Sixth Prince's men attacked overwhelmingly, and it was only thanks to the arrival of the Marquis of Yongning that the situation was barely stabilized.

The battle lasted for a full hour.

The number of dead is too many to count.

Finally, the Marquis of Yongning was exhausted and killed on the battlefield. Despite having the victory in his grasp, the Zhao King's lineage suffered a crushing defeat.

Prime Minister Luo and the others held tightly to the scroll of the abdication edict that King Zhao had produced, but King Zhao was dead, and both sides were in a bloodthirsty frenzy. At this point, the edict had no binding force whatsoever.

King Zhao used force to subdue the people, and they had no choice but to bow their heads. This edict was proof that King Zhao's son was the legitimate heir, and it was used to silence the public's dissent.

However, if King Zhao's power is insufficient to suppress these people, then King Zhao will be a traitorous minister who murdered his father and usurped the throne, and this edict will be evidence of his crimes.
