After hearing this, the emperor's heart trembled violently, but his face did not show much emotion.
Concubine Ru continued, "If everything is restricted, then what's the point of being the emperor!"
The emperor was silent.
He also wanted to be like his grandfather, the emperor, and do whatever he wanted. He would kill any minister he disliked!
However, he just wanted to kill Prince Yan, but now he has become infamous.
Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying broke the silence in the room.
Concubine Ru was stunned at first, then she walked to the screen of the imperial study with a smile on her face. Not long after, she came out holding a swaddling baby.
It turned out that this was the child born to Concubine Ru, and he was now six months old.
It’s a pity that it’s a girl.
The baby girl is very cute, especially her big watery eyes, which are exactly the same as the emperor's.
Although the emperor did not have much affection for Concubine Ru, he could not help but feel a little tenderness when he saw her little daughter who looked very similar to him and was so well-behaved and lovely.
The emperor frowned and said to Concubine Ru, "You spoke too loudly just now and woke Wanwan up!" After that, he also walked towards the child.
Concubine Ru rolled her eyes when she saw this. Although she was a little dissatisfied, she did not refute in the end.
After all, she had originally hoped to give birth to a prince. In this case, the emperor would be useless and dispensable!
However, things did not go as she wished and she gave birth to a daughter. Now she can only accept the reality.
So the only option left is to keep the emperor.
Whenever the emperor had a severe headache, she would give him some antidote.
Because of this, the emperor became violent, suspicious, and changeable, and he has killed many people recently.
Concubine Ru was not afraid of him.
But one time the emperor got sick and beat a concubine, who was almost beaten to death.
This also made the ministers and the people even more disappointed.
But this is also what Concubine Ru, Wei Ling and Ju An want! They just hope that the Dasheng Dynasty will be as chaotic as possible! So that they can take advantage of the opportunity.
When the emperor committed many evil deeds and the officials and people suffered terribly.
The King of Yan finally raised his army.
He also solemnly issued a letter to the world, explaining the reasons for the uprising:
We rise up today to overthrow all tyranny of the Emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
The current emperor has committed atrocities, killing his uncle and aunt, favoring the evil concubine and listening to the treacherous ministers.
Secretly colluding with the enemy country of the Great Jin, selling out the army's defense map, and attempting to put 300,000 troops to death was tantamount to treason.
The emperor paid no attention to state affairs, which led to the unjust deaths of loyal ministers, the prevalence of corrupt officials, and the oppression of the people and corruption.
We cannot bear to see loyal officials and common people suffer, so we are determined to step forward and work for the well-being of the people of the world.
I hope that all the people with lofty ideals and benevolence in the world can fight side by side with us to overthrow the emperor's tyranny and return a peaceful home to all the loyal officials and people of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
The King of Yan raised his arms and shouted loudly. This action caused a thousand waves like a huge rock hitting the water, attracting many ambitious people from all corners of the country to come and join him, expressing their willingness to swear allegiance to the King of Yan until death.
Among this group of people, the most eye-catching one is Hou Yingying's father, General Hou.
He led an army of 100,000 strong, set out from Yuenan Prefecture and marched northwards.
At the same time, the King of Yan personally led an army of 200,000 elite troops and advanced towards the south with great momentum.
Faced with such a situation, the emperor was extremely anxious and issued several imperial edicts in succession, severely reprimanding Prince Yan and General Hou for being traitors and being disloyal to the court.
However, these edicts fell on deaf ears and failed to produce any substantial impact.
The Emperor also sent out several generals, each with an army of 200,000, to fight against the Prince of Yan and General Hou.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month.
On this joyous day of reunion, something unexpected happened.
Master Wuchan, who had been practicing in seclusion in Hanshan Temple for more than ten years, suddenly broke out!
But unfortunately, this highly respected master passed away after leaving only one last word.
However, Master Wuchan's last words soon spread like wildfire and quickly spread across the country:
[The King of Yan is actually the Great Emperor Hongwu of the Great Sheng Dynasty! There is no one else in the world who can be compared with him! ]
[Only when the King of Yan is in power can the Great Sheng Dynasty be peaceful and prosperous! ]
Master Wuchan's words were like a bolt of thunder that split the sky.
This led to more and more people joining the Prince of Yan's camp to attack the emperor without hesitation.
They became more and more convinced that the King of Yan must be a wise ruler! He would definitely lead everyone to overthrow the brutal rule of the current emperor.
Also because of his words, both the troops of Prince Yan and General Hou did not encounter much resistance, and in late September, the two armies joined together in Hanzhong Prefecture.
At this moment, the army of King Yan is full of wise men and talented people.
In addition to those capable generals who have always followed the King of Yan, there are also elites from various forces gathered together:
The Hua family not only has brave and good fighting generals such as Hua Changjue, Hua Lingyi, Zhang Fengjin, Hua Lingjian, but also resourceful people such as Hua Lingxuan and Hua Lingshu.
As well as Hua Wanru, Hua Wanfeng and others who are skilled in medicine;
In addition, there is a group of outstanding doctors with superb skills.
The Jiang family has Jiang Shucheng, Jiang Quanda, and Wen Hao, who are shrewd and capable of leading troops in battles and giving advice. They also lead a group of outstanding Jiang family disciples to help.
General Hou personally led an army of 100,000 to join the camp of Prince of Yan. General Dingyuan Qian Zuoyou followed closely behind and brought an army of 50,000 elite troops to join the battle.
Li Zhan, the leader of the Black Wind Village, and his masters Gao Sheng, Zhao Dongsheng and more than 50 other heroes, led their troops to join the Yan Family Army and became a force that cannot be underestimated.
Wei Qing, Wei Hong, Wei Shen, Wei Lan, Wei Dong and others from Judi Valley also came here with an army of 100,000, expressing their willingness to follow King Yan until death to create a great cause together.
In addition, guerrilla generals from all over the country responded to the call and joined enthusiastically. Even some generals who had been loyal to the King of Liang and the King of Qi now came to join the King of Yan's army.
As a result, the size of the Yan family army has expanded greatly. Originally, there were only 200,000 troops, but now it has grown to an astonishing 600,000!
This huge army is unstoppable and powerful, and its combat effectiveness is unprecedented.
It is already the end of December and the Chinese New Year is coming soon.
The King of Yan ordered that everyone should have a good time this New Year. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the army would set out towards the capital of the Great Sheng Dynasty, Bianjing City.
Hanzhong Prefecture is only half a month away from Bianjing City.
People in Bianjing City were in panic.
The emperor had gone mad. He gave a direct order to lock up all the ministers in the palace.
