Zhao Jing was in a bad mood and needed to vent his anger on someone, and that person was his adoptive father.

His adoptive father was actually already nearing the end of his life.

This adoptive father was certainly not a good person.

He initially took in this adopted son to consolidate his own position, but later he became too scheming and secretly caused Zhao Jing a lot of trouble.

Little did he know, all of his schemes regarding his adopted son were in Zhao Jing's hands.

After Zhao Jing entered the army, his adoptive father could no longer get involved.

Later, fearing that his adopted son would hold a grudge and cause him trouble, his adoptive father took a risky step and tried to find someone to kill Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing, of course, would not be easily killed by others. He turned the tables and almost caused his adoptive father to lose his life.

After several such incidents, the father and son had long since become enemies.

Zhao Jing did not want to bear the crime of patricide. Instead of taking his adoptive father's life, he locked him in the house and made him experience the pain of being destitute and having no one to rely on.

His adopted son had already seized power, but he made a mistake and used his adopted son as a pawn, leading to a miserable old age. How could anyone bear such a disparity?

He quickly became emaciated and on the verge of death.

Now Zhao Jing is angry again and has given him another kind of medicine.

He gave Jiang Tian the drug back then, so this is a lesson learned. Let him continue to suffer; it's his own fault for having ill intentions in the first place.

With life settled down, Zhao Jing had the time to devote himself to plotting for the throne.

He was no ordinary person to begin with, and when he focused his energy on how to unify the country, he naturally achieved twice the result with half the effort.

It seemed like everything was back on track.

But his good fortune didn't last long. One day, Zhao Jing woke up and suddenly vomited blood.

This mouthful of blood stirred up towering waves on the once calm lake surface.

At first, no one could tell that Zhao Jing had any illness.

He was a robust man who rarely fell ill, and even when injured, his recovery ability was astonishing.

Despite his exceptional martial arts talent, he suddenly vomited blood, an event shrouded in mystery.

But poisoning him would be too difficult.

Who in the palace would dare to treat him like this?

Zhao Jing ordered a thorough investigation, but no matter how hard they investigated, they couldn't find any problems.

There were too many things that needed his attention in the previous dynasty, so he could only investigate while also dealing with the affairs of the country.

Jiang Tian and he were in the same boat; she had also vomited blood from taking medicine.

"Hey, why don't you stop taking this medicine for now? Your health is the most important thing."

Zhao Jing felt sorry for her.

Jiang Tian's face was pale, and her tone was full of worry: "I drank too much medicine, but what about you? Have you found out who poisoned you?"

Zhao Jing remained silent.

Half a month later, he vomited blood again.

This time he didn't say anything else. After sitting alone in his bedchamber all night, he brought Jiang Tian into the imperial study.

"My energy is failing. If anything happens to me in the future, you will have to help me manage the affairs of the previous dynasty."

Jiang Tian's eyes were unfathomable.

But she learned everything Zhao Jing taught her, and she quickly grasped the essentials. Later, she was able to review memorials on her own without any problem.

Sometimes, her political views would even surprise Zhao Jing.

After some time, Zhao Jing brought Jiang Tian to court.

This incident caused a huge uproar in the imperial court.

Everyone knows that the emperor dotes on his empress.

But no matter how much you favor a woman, you can't bring her to the front court and let her participate in the governance of the country!

Zhao Jing has been too indulgent towards the Empress. It's one thing to let her leave the palace from time to time, but now he even takes her with him on this kind of trip. He's really gone mad!

All the civil and military officials knelt on the ground, their purpose being to prevent Jiang Tian from entering the court.

Clearly, their attempts to stop them were futile.

Zhao Jing has a lot of capable people under his command.

The reason he didn't replace this group of officials before was simply to stabilize the country. But since they're not showing any appreciation this time, he doesn't need to be lenient with them anymore.

Many corrupt officials have been brought down.

But there are still some people who persist.

They were truly good ministers, thinking of the greater good of the country and not putting personal interests first.

Even though so many people died, they still refused to let Zhao Jing bring Jiang Tian into the court, and some even tried to force Zhao Jing to give in by banging their heads against a pillar.

Many officials cursed Jiang Tian, ​​calling her a vixen who had bewitched a wise ruler.

Zhao Jing did not kill these people.

He simply locked them in jail and had them well taken care of.

Of course, there were not only dissenting voices in the court. Pei Ziye and Jiang Yuqin strongly supported Jiang Tian's entry into the court.

The emperor was clearly unwell. Under the centralized system, he commanded a million soldiers, and who could truly resist the decisions he made?

The court was in an uproar, and the scholars in the countryside were also condemning Jiang Tian, ​​saying that she was a wicked woman who brought disaster to the country and the people, and that with her constantly disrupting the country, the empire would have to be handed over to someone else.

This group has a significant voice, but Jiang Tian also has a large following among the people.

Scholars only read the Four Books and Five Classics every day. How could they know the difficulty of farming, or how much hardship a commoner has to endure to survive?

Jiang Tian brought them a good method to improve grain production, and he was a great benefactor in their hearts.

The emperor is unwell and wants to bring her to the court, so what?

She did not abuse her power to kill people, so she was a good empress.

The two groups engaged in a contest among the people, neither able to convince the other, resulting in a delicate balance as they remained evenly matched.

Under this balance, Jiang Tian successfully entered the imperial court, initiating the precedent of two emperors ruling the world.
