"Look at this eunuch in the East Palace. Does he look like a eunuch at all? He's big and strong, and he's going to cause chaos in the harem."
The court officials nodded one after another. This eunuch in the Eastern Palace really refreshed their three views. It was truly unprecedented.
"Since the reign of Emperor Taizu, the Song Dynasty has always adhered to peaceful negotiations, respecting culture and suppressing military power, and not imposing punishment on scholars and officials."
"Your Majesty, he is ruthless. He will confiscate property and exterminate the entire clan if he disagrees with you. He disobeys the laws of our ancestors, bombards the Daqing Palace, forces court officials to sign letters of responsibility, and murders Jin envoys... This is the end of our country, and he is more harmful than the Jin people themselves."
"You may not know that what His Majesty just said, 'To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country,' is referring to us. Could it be that it really is a firecracker? Those five numbers are a code to kill?"
"Your Majesty, is Wang Fu telling the truth?"
"What nonsense!"
"Those are some big firecrackers, for celebration, just to make it lively. The young master said that these five numbers of mine are a code for killing. I don't know what evidence he has. Kill, who do I want to kill?"
As soon as Zhao Huan finished speaking, several people stood out in the hall.
Zhao Huan looked at them one by one, and saw that Liang Shicheng, Zhu Zhen, and Zhang Bangchang stood up, walked behind Wang Fu, and cried loudly about Zhao Huan's tyranny.
"Of course, we are patriots who are loyal to the Emperor, His Majesty is worried that we may pose a threat to you, and who advocate for peace talks between Song and Jin."
"Ever since Your Majesty ascended the throne, you have sent people from the Secret Service to keep an eye on me. I have devoted my entire life to the country and signed a letter of commitment. Yet, while Your Majesty speaks of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, he secretly distrusts me."
"Just three days ago, Your Majesty secretly had someone bury gunpowder in my house. If it weren't for the Prime Minister's warning, I'm afraid my family would be destroyed today."
Several people looked at the courtiers, heartbroken and indignant: "Your Majesty should be kind and righteous, how could he be so vicious? This is a betrayal, just like King Jie of Xia, King Zhou of Shang, and Emperor Yang of Sui."
These words are so cruel that they are simply meant to nail someone to the pillar of shame for generations to come.
Zhao Huan's expression calmed down. He looked down and said calmly, "Are there others who think the same way? They think I'm a tyrant who would do such a cruel thing?"
No one spoke, but it was obvious that many people had expressions of worry and suspicion on their faces, as if their lives were threatened.
At this moment, there was a sudden explosion outside, deafening, followed by countless flames shooting up into the sky, swirling and intertwining in the night sky, forming several words.
"Go and see how slanderous Wang Fu's words are. How could I, the ruler of a nation, do such a shameful thing? Wasn't it fair and just for me to kill the Jin envoy?"
The ministers looked out of the window and saw several words in the night sky: smooth sailing, peace all over the world, everything goes smoothly, seven stars shine brightly, and the nine provinces are unified.
Is this the murder code you mentioned?
"Your Majesty, your methods are superb! You were able to force changes in such a short time. I admire you, but..."
"Crash! Crash!"
A battalion of five hundred heavily armored soldiers in rattan armor, wearing iron armor and holding shields in one hand and spears in the other, rushed in from the entrance of the hall and surrounded the civil and military ministers, the eunuchs of the Eastern Palace, and Zhao Huan in the hall.
"Since that's the case, then let's rebel. Zhao Huan is tyrannical, incompetent, and unworthy of being emperor. Today, I, Wang Fu, will replace the Song Dynasty with a new one."
"General, why don't you show up now? When will you show up?"
