Chapter 478 The Power of Grenade

Prince Jing smiled coldly: "If you hadn't saved Concubine Wen's life, I wouldn't have gotten her help in the palace..."

Emperor Tianlang couldn't believe it. He looked at Concubine Wen, but Concubine Wen gritted her teeth and smiled: "Why are you looking at me?"

"The Wen family was convicted, and most of the Wen family members were killed. Will my son still be alive?"

"Prince Jing promised me that if I was willing to help him, he would spare my son's life and let him live out his life in peace."

Emperor Sirius thought about King Xian’s situation and understood.

The virtuous king was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and it was only with the support of Concubine Wen that he gained the help of the Southern Expedition Army and the Wen family.

Now that she and the Wen family have fallen, the Southern Expedition Army was immediately taken back by the Heavenly Wolf Emperor...

Even if the emperor does not take action next, the virtuous king will become the target of other brothers.

It’s hard to say how long he can live.

Tianlang is used to the idea that "the winner is the king". If a wise king dies in a power struggle, even the emperor will not feel too sorry for him.

Only Concubine Wen, as a mother, would care about the life or death of the virtuous king after his failure.

"The stupid woman misled me!" The Sirius Emperor finally sighed and said only four words.

Prince Jing took action with great force. He first smashed the Sirius Emperor's hands and feet into pieces, making sure they could not be reattached, and then carried the man back to the palace.

Afterwards, Emperor Tianlang issued an edict to appoint Prince Jing as the Crown Prince and abdicate the throne to Prince Jing.

The coronation ceremony will be held three days later.

The unknown Prince Jing suddenly soared into the sky, and everyone was stunned!

They looked towards the palace: How could the always cowardly Prince Jing be hiding so deeply?

How could he suddenly take action and force the emperor to abdicate?

Prince Jing used drastic measures to control all his brothers at the first opportunity.

Concubine Wen is dead.

The tendons in the hands of the wise king were cut, and he became a disabled person.

The rest of the brothers and nephews who were over ten years old were no exception and all had their tendons cut.

In the Tianlang Kingdom where "the winner takes it all", it also means that they have completely lost the possibility of competing for the throne.

And make sure they live out their lives in peace...

Prince Jing became Emperor Jing, and the noble families all sighed privately: Was he being kind or cruel?

Emperor Jing was drinking tea slowly in front of his crippled elder brother.

The former Sirius Emperor had a sinister look but a cruel smile.

"Do you think that once you become the emperor, you will be above everyone else and there will be no more threats?"

"Aren't you still going to be controlled by Tianwu?"

"Without Tianwu's help, can you suddenly turn the tables?"

"Ah Jing, you will live in Tianwu's shadow for the rest of your life!"

Emperor Jing looked calm and was not angry at his provocation.

“I just want to live.”

"For so many years, I have been trembling and cautious, always worried that you and the Wen family would kill me."

"You are right. I took this position with the help of Tianwu's power. I will live under Tianwu's control and threat for the rest of my life."

"But Tianwu won't try to kill me or put pressure on me..."

"I have to choose the lesser of two evils. I have to find a way to survive, right?"

"Now I can survive."

"But you can only live a life of luxury, unable to move, and sitting alone every night until dawn..."

After bidding farewell to the former emperor, while sitting alone in the imperial study, Emperor Jing took out a grenade and stared at it quietly for a long time without saying a word.

This was the one he had secretly hidden when the dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment was blown up. There was only this one.

Fu Chenan was very cautious and gave him ten grenades, teaching him, "This thing only needs to be done like this, and it will explode, with a power more than ten times that of black powder..."

He looked at the grenade, which was as big as his fist, and expressed disbelief.

A ball of black powder is more than four times larger than a grenade, and it needs the help of iron pear flowers to have such a small amount of lethality.

How powerful can such a small piece of iron be?

When there were countless casualties in the dungeon and the remaining people were knocked unconscious by the explosion, he realized: this thing is really powerful!

Goose bumps slowly appeared on Emperor Jing's arms.

He placed the grenade close to his body...

No one can touch this thing.

When Emperor Jing ascended the throne, he immediately submitted a letter of friendship to Tianwu, inviting Tianwu to open various shops in Tianlang.

At the same time, I beg Tianwu to lend a helping hand, sell some good seeds to Tianlang, and teach some good planting methods...

Emperor Jing said that he wanted to transform a country that was mainly based on hunting and plundering into an agricultural country.

Tianwu was naturally happy to see this happen, but the Tianlang aristocratic families were divided into two factions.

The old school thinks that Emperor Jing is selling out his country.

The new generation, however, yearns for a peaceful and prosperous life.

Emperor Jing pretended not to hear anything. Tianwu's shopping street soon opened for business, and all kinds of new and novel things came on the market.

They had never seen the cosmetics, jewelry, and mirrors in Tao Tao Ji before;

All kinds of ready-made clothes and fabrics, such as chiffon and woolen, are surprisingly beautiful;

The hotpot is really delicious.

The glass is so beautiful.

She inkstones look precious at first glance; such exquisite inkstones are actually ink sticks? Is this the legendary Hui ink?

After seeing all the novelties in Tianwu Street, the old-school families of Tianlang said: No wonder the people of Tianwu are so willing to spend money on these things.

How can one let go of such a delicate and good thing...

This is a later story, so let’s not talk about it for now.

Fu Chenan returned to Tianwu and told Qi Rongrong about the situation.

Qi Rongrong has been a well-behaved person since she returned to Tianwu Capital: she stays in the yard every day, embroidering and listening to books, and refuses to go out even if asked.

Ask her "Are you going to visit the grave of Emperor Tianlang?"

She shook her head like a rattle: "I will just pay my respects from afar here. I won't go there."

On the way there and back, the assassinations she experienced often caused her to have nightmares, in which she was running for her life.

On the way back, she asked people around her about what they had experienced.

The nanny in Zhan Yunfu's house told Qi Rongrong about her experience on the battlefield.

Qi Rongrong then realized that what she had thought was suffering was not suffering at all.

On the battlefield, arrows rained down, swords and spears approached;

Snakes, insects, rats and ants in the dense forests, deep pits on the cliffs;

When military supplies are insufficient, they will be hungry and poorly clothed...

The so-called palace fighting is actually the infighting among the women in the harem when they have nothing to do.

The so-called comparison of clothes and jewelry also seems so ridiculous...

Qi Rongrong suddenly became much more open-minded.

When she saw Fu Chenan again, there was a little more calmness in her eyes, and a little less resentment and calculation.

When Fu Chenan asked her if she wanted to return to the palace, she simply shook her head and refused: "An'er, I will live here from now on. I won't go back to the palace."

Qi Rongrong was not stupid. She later heard about what happened between Fu Zhonghai and Zhan Yunfu.

At that time, I thought that marriage between men and women had nothing to do with each other.

But this time when she went to Tianlang, the maids around Zhan Yunfu protected her, which made her realize that in Fu Zhonghai's heart, Zhan Yunfu was different...

How could Zhan Yunfu gain Fu Zhonghai's trust?

In addition, Fu Zhonghai is at the age when men’s sexual desires are the strongest, but his harem has been empty for a long time... Is there anything else she doesn’t understand?

Qi Rongrong looked at Fu Chenan cautiously: "An'er, can I meet Madam Zhan?"

This Hui ink is collected by the Palace Museum.
