Chapter 8: The Framed Tool General 8 (2/2)



"I, Liu Guxia, am truly blind! I actually believed you! You're not even as valuable as one of Brother Zhiyi's fingers!"

The new emperor was furious upon hearing this. He actually stood up and ran straight towards Liu Guxia, raising his hand and slapping her. Liu Guxia was not the type of person who would not fight back after being hit. She scratched her right away. The eunuchs and palace maids beside her all turned their heads and pretended not to see. After all, the prince said, if you can't kill her, then don't bother.

The fight between the two continued until Liu Guxia was bleeding, and then a palace maid shouted, "The Queen is bleeding!"

The new emperor was stunned when he heard this, and he had a guess in his mind.

The imperial physician rushed over and examined the situation for a while before saying with regret, "Your Majesty was already pregnant with a dragon seed, but... alas..."

The new emperor's mind went blank. "Impossible, you quack! Come, drag him out and chop him up!"

But no one paid any attention to him. The imperial physician looked at him with a hint of pity, then left with his medicine box.

The brothel's top prostitute went out to collect the reward and left, leaving behind the frail Liu Guxia and the bewildered new emperor.

That night, both of them had a dream. They dreamed of the endings they should have had: one became the queen who was the mother of the country, made many institutional changes for Daxia, and was admired by the people. The other wielded military power and expanded the territory.

After waking up, the two looked at each other, as if they had a thousand words to say, but when they thought of the child who was aborted by the new emperor, Liu Guxia covered her face and began to cry.

The system relayed this scene to Fang Zhiyi, which could be considered a gift for the dream he purchased with one point.

"Suku, what's the point of doing this?"

Fang Zhiyi shook his head and said, "No, I just simply thought that if someone was to die, they should die clearly."

Although they had awakened their memories of their past lives, both knew that this was Fang Zhiyi's revenge, but they could do nothing about it. In the past, the two had fought more than once, and the new emperor had even slept with a prostitute. Liu Guxia just felt that he was disgusting, so the new emperor was a puppet emperor in court every day, and a machine for handling government affairs outside of court. Liu Guxia thought of countless ways to see Fang Zhiyi, but was blocked every time.

Seeing that the two were actually living apart, Fang Zhiyi simply ordered the demolition of other unnecessary palaces, forcing the emperor and Liu Guxia to live together every day, making the two of them disgusted with each other but helpless.

The new emperor had completely given up his dignity as an emperor, because after many attempts, he found that the entire court was full of Fang Zhiyi's people, either selected by him through the open imperial examination, or local officials who were capable but unsuccessful.

However, it was rumored among the people of Daxia that Prince Fang was a good ruler. The emperor hid in the palace every day and did nothing, but Prince Fang issued one policy after another that benefited the people. If any local tyrants or officials failed to implement the policies, their heads would be hung on the city gate the next day. All local garrisons were under the jurisdiction of the commanders under the prince's command, and the actions were extremely swift.

Externally, Fang Zhiyi integrated the army and cut many empty-staffed troops. For example, the Beijing Guard, which was said to have 80,000 men, actually had less than 10,000 men. By equipping the army with more advanced weapons, he completely drove the northern barbarians out of the north.

Dozens of hours later, Fang Yuanyuan was the only one left in the prison. He clung to the railings like a madman, and whenever someone came to deliver food, he would ask about what was happening outside.

The new emperor had died twenty years ago because he was overworked every day and had been depressed for a long time.

Liu Guxia just stared at the roof every day, muttering to himself.

Fang Zhiyi died of old age. Just a few days ago, he finally accepted the recommendation of the court officials and sat on the throne. When he looked at the court officials kneeling below with emotion, the real Fang Zhiyi came. He looked at his hands in disbelief, touched the dragon chair beside him, opened his mouth to say something, and then heard a eunuch come to report.

"Your Majesty, Empress Liu is dead!" After hearing that Fang Zhiyi had sat on the throne, Liu Guxia muttered to herself for a while, her head gradually drooping. When the palace maids came forward to check, they found that she was dead.

Fang Zhiyi felt a sharp pain in his heart and has been bedridden ever since.

Because he had left some words in reserve before, the military officials in the court immediately recommended a young man. This was Fang Zhiyi's adopted son, a child he had carefully nurtured for more than ten years. Seeing this scene, the speechless Fang Zhiyi smiled bitterly.

Fang Zhiyi died, and the whole country mourned. Historical records show that the emperor of the second dynasty of Daxia was obsessed with women in the harem for a long time and ignored the affairs of state. Fang Zhiyi cleared the court, saw through Liu Yuhui's conspiracy, and worked hard to be loyal to the country for decades. He promulgated many policies that benefited the country and the people. He remarried, and it was rumored that he still loved Liu Guxia. However, after Liu Guxia died, he died with her.
