Chapter 223 The Emperor's Grandson
The old emperor's eyes were full of golden light at this time. He wanted to see Prince An and Prince Hua Yan crawling at his feet and dying miserably. He felt happy and carefree.
He ordered, "Duke Rong, quickly capture the traitors Prince An and Prince Hua Yan!"
But Liu Weirong didn't move.
He looked around, as if he hadn't heard what the old emperor said.
The old emperor was stunned and said to Liu Weirong.
"Duke Rong! What are you doing? Didn't you hear what I said?"
Prince An and his men also discovered that Liu Weirong did not seem to obey the old emperor, and their minds immediately became active.
Prince An stepped forward and bowed to Liu Weirong.
"Duke Rong, long time no see!"
Liu Weirong raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Prince An continued, "Duke Rong, the old emperor has lost the support of the people and is cruel and murderous!"
"Back then, he killed many people in your house!"
"How can we be loyal to such an emperor?"
"Why not join us in rebelling against him! Support King Hua Yan to ascend the throne as emperor!"
"When the time comes, you will definitely benefit from it!"
King Hua Yan quickly said, "Yes, when the time comes, I will ascend the throne! I can make you king!"
The old emperor gnashed his teeth in anger.
"I am the true dragon emperor, the legitimate heir of the country!"
"And you are all traitors!"
He looked at Liu Weirong again and said, "Duke Rong, do you really want to go along with this group of traitors?"
Liu Weirong raised his eyebrows, looked at the old emperor, and then at Prince An and the others. There was a mocking smile on his face.
"A cruel and ruthless tyrant! He even killed his own son!"
"One is a bastard, pretending to be of royal blood!"
The old emperor and Prince An were all shocked.
After seeing enough of their faces, Liu Weirong turned sideways to make way for them.
Then, a young man walked up from behind him.
The old emperor and Prince An didn't recognize him, but Liu Shiqi did.
This person is Zhuang Yan.
The old emperor frowned and looked at Zhuang Yan and asked.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
He couldn't understand why Liu Weirong didn't listen to him. And they treated the young man with great courtesy.
Prince An and his men didn't understand either.
Everyone stared at Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan walked to the front and said with a smile.
"You probably don't even know me!"
"But you probably all know my father!"
His eyes suddenly became sharp, reflecting a strong cold light.
"My father's name is Ji Yuexiu! He is the eldest son of the old emperor!"
The old emperor was shocked.
"Who are you!"
"Yes. I am the son of the late prince!"
"That's your eldest grandson! Ji Lingcang!"
"Grandfather! How are you?"
"After so many years, have you ever thought of my father and me?"
The old emperor widened his eyes and couldn't help but take a step back.
After Zhuang Yan finished speaking, he looked at King Hua Yan again.
"And you too!"
"Have you ever thought about my father in all these years?"
Prince An, Prince Hua Yan and the others all opened their mouths in shock.
"You, how come you are still alive?"
Zhuang Yan sneered, "I'm sorry to disappoint you!"
He was like a devil jumping out of hell, making the people opposite him feel like they were falling into an icy cave.
In this scene, the person who has experienced the most people is Zhuang Yan.
The old emperor and Prince An had all suffered heavy losses. He was completely powerless to fight against Zhuang Yan.
For Zhuang Yan, destroying them was as easy as destroying a group of ants.
The old emperor and the others naturally thought of it.
The old emperor said, "Ji Lingcang, I am your royal grandfather! Are you trying to kill the emperor?"
"If you do this, you will be disloyal and unrighteous! Even if you ascend to the throne, no one will be truly loyal to you!"
Zhuang Yan looked at him in surprise, "Grandfather Emperor, you must be joking. How could I kill the king?"
"I'm here to save you!"
Zhuang Yan said this and took out the tiger talisman!
"Prince An, Prince Huayan is in rebellion, and I am here to rescue him on your orders!"
"As for your royal grandfather's accidental death, you can only blame Prince An and the others!"
The old emperor almost suffocated after updating for the first time.
This is really the case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Prince An originally wanted to speak, but in the end he said nothing.
Because the prince's death was their doing. This is revenge for my father's murder.
Even if they say anything, Zhuang Yan will definitely not let them go.
Look, they are all silent.
Zhuang Yan waved indifferently. Soon a eunuch came up holding a bright yellow scroll.
Zhuang Yan said to the old emperor, "Excuse me, Grandfather! Give me a stamp!"
The old emperor was stunned and looked at the scroll in front of him:
By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: I have been on the throne for decades, and I know that I have committed many sins. I listened to slander, murdered the Crown Prince, the eldest grandson, and framed loyal officials...
It turned out to be a "confession of guilt"!
The old emperor opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly.
"How dare you! How dare you ask me to put my stamp on this kind of thing. I was right from the beginning to the end!"
Zhuang Yan was too lazy to argue with him.
Because he is really tired!
The old emperor is a man who wouldn't shed tears even if he saw a coffin. He always feels that others owe him something!
Zhuang Yan really didn't want to argue with him anymore.
Zhuang Yan waved his hand gently.
Soon, Fu Hai walked out of the team and entered the hall.
He didn't know where he found the jade seal.
Took it out quickly.
He lowered his head and handed the jade seal to Zhuang Yan.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Seal has been obtained!"
The old emperor widened his eyes and looked at Fu Hai in disbelief.
"Fu Hai, I trust you so much, you traitor! You will die a miserable death..."
Fu Hai trembled all over and stepped aside!
Zhuang Yan ignored the old emperor and asked someone to bring a table and ink pad.
Then he took the initiative to stamp the edict of repentance.
The old emperor was so angry that he almost fainted.
When he thought about what the history books would write, he wanted to vomit blood.
His lifelong reputation was ruined at this moment.
It was not enough for Zhuang Yan to stamp one, so he took another scroll and stamped it himself!
This time, Zhuang Yan was too lazy to let the old emperor see it.
The old emperor's fingers trembled with anger. He pointed at Zhuang Yan and said, "You, you, you are disloyal and unfilial..."
He was so angry that his blood rushed up and his mind became dazed for a moment. He actually fainted on the ground.
A black-armored guard leader quickly supported him.
"Someone, call the imperial physician!"
In the end, no one paid any attention.
Zhuang Yan was self-sufficient. In addition to the edict of blaming himself, he also stamped several other edicts, including the edict of succession to the throne and the edict of execution for Prince An and others.
Prince An and his men were stunned by what they saw.
Suddenly, Liu Shiqi rushed out and shouted, "Brother Zhuang, be careful..."
