Chapter 569 She Clearly Didn’t See Yuan Xiaonian Die
Inside the hall, the trembling ministers knelt on the ground. At this moment, no one dared to say a word for Wei Changkong.
"Wei thief, what else do you have to say?" Zi Tong looked down at Wei Changkong lying on the ground with a satisfied look. He had imagined this scene countless times, and today, his dream finally came true.
Wei Changkong knew that things had come to this point, sneered, and slowly sat up.
"Tong'er, come back!" Zi Yunlai called Zi Tong back in a deep voice.
The guards who were originally guarding the periphery all stepped forward vigilantly and protected the Emperor of Chu and his son behind them. Yuan Xiaonian and Bai Yu'an also moved their positions and looked at Wei Changkong with a defensive look.
Wei Changkong stood up, glanced at the people in front of him with disdain, and sneered, "Now that it has come to this, what are you still afraid of?"
He turned around and walked to the side, dragged out a chair, returned to the center of the hall, and sat down fearlessly.
"Alright, I, Wei Changkong, will never be able to sit on the Dragon Throne in this lifetime, but being able to sit in this hall while all of you are standing or kneeling is worth it."
Wei Changkong first turned in the direction of the minister and snorted disdainfully, "You guys, you've been destined to be dogs your whole lives. Before today, or just now, you were all wagging your tails and begging for mercy like lapdogs. Now, what about you? When something goes wrong, you immediately find a new master. I really despise you."
"Wei...Wei Changkong, don't speak so arrogantly," a minister trembled in the crowd. He knew Wei Changkong's fate was lost, so he dared to say something he had never dared to say before. "We...have always treated you with respect as colleagues. It's because you are shameless and arrogant that you think...you are our master."
"Really?" Wei Changkong sneered. "Lord Xu may not know this, but there's a list in the General's Mansion. Over the years, I remember exactly how many people have tried to curry favor with me and what they've said."
Lord Xu, who had just spoken, turned pale in an instant. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. The others also lowered their heads, not daring to show off their strength at this time.
"Cowards, a bunch of cowards!" Wei Changkong cursed. "My great Dong Chu is what it is today, thanks to you! If I die, you won't be able to live well! The court of Dong Chu should have been completely transformed long ago."
He turned around and looked at Zi Yunlai who was not far away. "Your Majesty, I am doing something good for you before I die. The list I just mentioned is in the secret room in the secret room. Please send someone to get it."
Zi Yunlai thought about it and whispered instructions to the people around him, and the people around him left quickly.
"Hahaha..." Wei Changkong burst into laughter upon seeing this. "Your Majesty, you really should thank me. For so many years, I have also worked hard for the Great Dong Chu, and I have always been concerned about how to make Dong Chu stronger..."
He glanced at Yuan Xiaonian beside him and said through gritted teeth, "How could you wipe out those tiny countries bit by bit? If these bastards weren't incompetent, if you weren't... too cowardly and hung up, why would I have the heart to rebel?"
"So, they are responsible for what happened to me today, and you are also responsible for Ziyunlai!" Wei Changkong finally said loudly.
"Haha..." Zi Yunlai sneered, "I never knew that General Wei, besides being able to fight bravely on the battlefield, is also a skilled speaker in the officialdom."
He was always protected by the crowd behind him, looking at Wei Changkong from afar, "But General Wei, in your eyes, true love for Dongchu, true loyalty to Dongchu, should this be what it means?"
"A good lieutenant general, when he believes his commander is incompetent, should quietly prevent the disease from happening, intending to seize the commander's position and achieve a great victory, right? General Wei?"
Wei Changkong's face changed. He knew very well that on the battlefield, there was only one possibility for replacing generals at the last minute, and that was the main general being killed in battle. But now, Zi Yunlai was not dead, but he had already begun to plan to replace the general. This was indeed disloyal and unfilial.
"Hahahaha... You're wrong, you're really wrong. No matter how much you say, it won't change the facts."
Wei Changkong stood up and walked towards Zi Yunlai step by step. "I only hope that in the future, the emperor can be tough and not let Dongchu become a fat piece of meat in the eyes of others..."
When he said this, he looked at Yuan Xiaonian and said, "Don't let those with ulterior motives take advantage of the opportunity to divide up Dong Chu."
"Wei Changkong, don't go any further!" Yuan Xiaonian said coldly, warning him.
"Hehe..." Wei Changkong stopped where he was and looked at Yuan Xiaonian with disdain. "Second Prince, this is Dongchu. You have no right to speak here."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out the knife of the guard in front of him, and before anyone could react, he put the knife to his own neck, making his intentions clear.
When Zi Yun saw him about to commit suicide, he felt a little reluctant, "Wei Changkong, your crime does not deserve death, you..."
"Ziyun, come!" Wei Changkong stamped his feet in obvious anger. "It's already this time, and you're still soft-hearted? Don't you know how many soldiers I have? Don't you know that if I leave here alive, Dongchu might really be in turmoil? Your Majesty, please put aside your mercy and open your eyes to look at these jackals, tigers and leopards around you..."
He swung the knife in his hand, and warm blood spurted out instantly. With his last breath, he said, "Don't let me... die in vain."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Changkong fell to the ground with a bang, completely ending his life of war and ambition.
The hall fell into silence for a long time, and everyone's face changed in shock at this sudden change.
Li Suining was also very surprised. She clearly didn't see Wei Changkong die last night. Why did this happen? What had changed?
Her first reaction was to look at Sister Fuxing next to her, but she couldn't see Sister Fuxing's expression.
However, Fuxing could see her expression, and he frowned in his hood.
At this time, the young eunuch who had just left ran back and hurriedly handed the booklet in his hand to Zi Yunlai.
"Your Majesty, I got it. General Wei... Bah, bah, bah, I got the booklet that the traitor Wei Changkong mentioned."
The ministers kneeling on the ground all had pale faces and cold sweat dripping down. They looked at each other, obviously very scared.
Zi Yunlai took the booklet, but did not open it immediately. Instead, he asked the guards to step back and walked step by step to the ministers.
"Your Majesty," the Lord Xu who had just spoken spoke again, trembling, "The words of the thief Wei cannot be trusted. He must have prepared this booklet in advance to alienate the relationship between the emperor and his subjects. Your Majesty cannot believe him!"
The others nodded in agreement, "Yes, Your Majesty, the thief Wei has ulterior motives. Neither his words nor his book can be trusted!"
