Chapter 269 Du Hongbin, long time no see
The prince was full of resentment, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he was determined to break the jar and do nothing.
"Father, I just don't understand. Mother has always been devoted to you and never dared to disobey any of your orders. Why do you treat her so harshly?"
"Back then, you asked your mother to raise Xie Yanli. Your mother took care of him without hesitation. Although she didn't dote on him too much, she didn't abuse him either. She provided him with everything he needed, including food, clothing, shelter and transportation."
"But how did Xie Yanli treat the Queen Mother?"
The prince was very angry, and now he just wanted to stand up for his mother.
The Great Yang Emperor's eyes were sinister, and he snorted coldly, "Your Third Brother was just a child back then, he didn't know anything, what do you mean by saying these things now?"
He didn't have much affection for his son Xie Yanli, but his son's character and mind were very similar to his.
Only then did I look at him with a higher regard.
The prince sneered repeatedly and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Oh, yes. Xie Yanli was just a child back then. He didn't know anything. But after knowing that the queen mother was pregnant, he smeared oil on the road where she had to pass, causing the queen mother to fall and miscarry."
"Well, he was indeed very young at that time, only two years old, and he hurt his mother and the innocent child in her belly out of jealousy."
"Father, you are right. He is only a two-year-old child. What does he know?"
When these words were spoken, the ministers were in an uproar.
Oh my God, he can hurt others at the age of two. Xie Yanli is really vicious!
The Great Yang Emperor was stunned, and immediately threw his sleeves in anger, "Impossible, don't slander your third brother."
How could a two-year-old child be so vicious?
It was clearly the Queen and the Crown Prince who slandered him.
"Slander?" The prince sneered, "Father, I am not slandering you. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Xie Yanli in person. He is now in the hands of Princess Zhaoyang of Tianqi Country."
"Since you care about him so much, I'm sure you will find a way to rescue him!"
"Rescue bullshit!" Dayanghuang couldn't help but swear. He would not spend energy to rescue a useless son who was no longer of any use to him.
He deserves to die.
The prince felt sad, "Haha, father, I thought you had some feelings for Xie Yanli after all, otherwise you wouldn't have agreed to send troops to attack Tianqi under his persuasion."
"You will not intentionally or unintentionally hint to me and the civil and military officials that you value and like Xie Yanli."
"It is precisely because of this that I feel a sense of crisis and want to win over the ministers and get them to support me in inheriting the throne."
"Instead of giving the throne to Xie Yanli, a bastard who has a vicious heart at such a young age, as long as he is around, where is our chance of survival?"
Xie Yanli has a strong desire for revenge.
He is exactly like his father, a cruel person who will do anything to achieve his goals.
He and his father were just using each other. After the plan was accomplished, the winner would depend on who had the better move.
But these two foxes underestimated Apocalypse's ability after all, and the result was that Apocalypse was not captured, and the younger one was tortured to the point of only having one breath left, and the older one was still trying to make a last-ditch struggle even when he was beaten to his doorstep.
Tsk tsk, they deserved this fate.
Looking at the undisguised sarcasm on the prince's face, Emperor Yang was filled with anger and was furious.
"Come here, drag the prince out and give him twenty lashes of the cane, regardless of life or death."
“Hahahaha…” Suddenly, the prince laughed fearlessly, “Father, oh, father, you won’t be so arrogant for much longer, hahahaha…”
"Waste, drag him away, drag him away!"
The Great Yang Emperor roared and clenched the armrests of the dragon throne tightly with both hands. If it weren't for his remaining rationality that pulled him back, he would probably have ordered his men to beat the prince to death on the spot.
The current situation does not allow him to go on a killing spree, otherwise people will lose morale and Dayang will really be doomed.
It won't take a moment.
The prince's heart-wrenching screams were heard outside the palace.
"Ah, ah, it hurts so much, mother, save me, it hurts so much..."
The civil and military officials kneeling in the hall shrank their heads and broke out in cold sweat.
Hey, Your Highness, why are you doing this?
You insist on using words to provoke the emperor. Aren't you just asking for trouble?
Also, you are too impatient. How can the throne be seized so easily?
In the hall, the most frightened person was Prime Minister Du. His clothes were already soaked with cold sweat and his knees were numb from kneeling.
But he didn't dare to move at all.
Emperor Dayang glanced at his ministers and was very satisfied with their attitude. He threatened and warned them emphatically, and then let them retreat.
He is the emperor of Dayang, and no one can escape from his Five Fingers Mountain.
Apocalypse was coming with great force, and he was not unprepared. It was still unclear who would be the final winner.
…
After the court session was dismissed, Prime Minister Du was escorted out of the palace by the palace guards and handed over to a middle-aged man who was dressed in armor, had a dignified bearing and an upright posture.
"Greetings, Great General of the Nation. The Emperor has ordered us to hand Prime Minister Du over to you. You are to escort him to negotiate with Tianqi. Do not let him escape. If he does not cooperate, you can kill him first and report later."
The Protector of the Nation's general had deep eyes and glanced at the palace guards. He said in a deep and rich voice, "Well, I understand."
After the palace guards left, Prime Minister Du took a closer look at the national defender general in front of him.
This is strange. When did Dayang have a new general who protects the country? Why doesn’t he know about it?
The great general who protected the country was named Tao Minggong. He was a head taller than Prime Minister Du. At this moment, he was looking down at Prime Minister Du from a high position.
After a while, he raised his lips slightly and smiled meaningfully, "Du Hongbin, long time no see!"
hiss--
Prime Minister Du was shocked. Why did this voice sound so familiar? Also, the face of this great general who protects the nation seems more and more familiar the more I look at it, as if I have seen him somewhere before?
Resentment flashed across Tao Minggong's eyes, and he slapped Prime Minister Du's left cheek with his big hand, making his cheek turn red on the spot.
"You..." Prime Minister Du was shocked and angry. He was about to lose his temper, but then he thought of his current situation and could not allow him to act wildly.
I had no choice but to suppress my anger.
"Du Hongbin, Du Hongbin, looking at you like this, I think you don't remember me." Tao Minggong looked down at Prime Minister Du with an oppressive gaze.
The tone is lazy and frightening.
"Since you don't remember me, I'll just remind you. My last name is Du Minggong. Do you remember?"
Prime Minister Du was stunned at first, then his pupils widened suddenly, and his tone was terrified and uneasy.
"Du Minggong, you are actually Du Minggong?"
Du Minggong smiled meaningfully, "I haven't seen you for more than 20 years. Du Hongbin, you are still as jumpy as usual."
"Are you too happy to see me?"
"Or are you afraid to see me because you've done something wrong?"
"Or maybe both? Hmm?"
"You, you, you..." Prime Minister Du's legs went weak and he stepped back suddenly, trying to escape from here. But before he could take a few steps back, two soldiers grabbed his arms firmly on his left and right.
His face turned panicky, and he was suddenly shocked and scared.
