Chapter 459: Deserted by Friends
Lian Cang's brows were extremely gloomy.
With a ferocious face, he turned his head and looked at the head of the Shu family who had nothing to do with the matter and had already hung up his head, "Don't tell me, your Shu family also wants to divide my world?"
The head of the Shu family is Shu Jincen's biological grandfather.
He had white hair and beard, a thin body, and looked like an immortal.
He smiled and shook his head. "Your Majesty, don't ask me. I do want to divide your power, but I don't have the strength. You know that my position as the head of the family is just in name only."
Yes, the head of the Shu family is only a nominal head, and the entire Shu family has long been controlled by Shu Jincen's father.
Why?
The main thing is that the head of the Shu family is not a very good person.
He looks like an immortal, but in fact he is a pervert who only targets young and beautiful girls. Not only is he a pervert, he also likes to study evil ways.
The Shu family was almost destroyed by him.
Lian Cang was furious again, but he could not deny that what the Shu family's patriarch said was true. After all, he was a shameless old waste.
"snort!"
Lian Cang looked frustrated and angry. His eyes swept across the civil and military officials standing behind the heads of the four major families like a knife. His face once again showed a ferocious look. He gritted his teeth and asked, "You traitors, do you also want to force me to abdicate?"
The civil and military officials looked at each other. They felt Lian Cang's anger, but did not back down.
One of the officials stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please calm down and listen to what I have to say."
The emperor snorted coldly, "Just say what you want to say!"
The official took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, you should know that Shen Yao Country is facing an unprecedented crisis. Although the four major families are powerful, they cannot fight against so many wronged souls, let alone Master Lian Jin."
"If we can't get Master Lianjin's forgiveness, I'm afraid the whole country will fall into chaos, and the lives of everyone present will be at stake!"
"So, this is not coercion, but going with the flow. Only if you abdicate and hand over the throne to Master Lianjin can we maintain the stability and peace of the country."
Other civil and military officials echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty! Please consider the overall situation!"
Lian Cang listened to everyone's words and felt sad.
He understood that what these officials said made sense, but it was impossible for him to give up the throne just like that!
He widened his eyes, scanned the crowd in front of him, and roared: "You are all my subjects, don't you have any loyalty at all?"
At this time, another official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, our loyalty to you has never changed, but the situation is urgent now and we must make a choice. If Your Majesty insists on not abdicating, it will not only endanger the safety of the country, but also implicate countless innocent people!"
Lian Cang: (╬◣д◢)
Innocent civilians are implicated?
How dare you say such a thing?
Don't think he doesn't know that these ministers, like him, have never taken the people seriously. They only regard them as the lowest class of untouchables who can be slaughtered at will.
Oh, you want to sacrifice him to save their lives? No way. The worst that can happen is that both of them will die together! He won't live long anyway.
He, Lian Cang, has always been proud of himself.
Lian Cang's face became increasingly gloomy. He clenched his fists, his whole body trembling slightly. It took a lot of willpower to suppress the murderous intent in his heart.
He closed his eyes and pretended to be decadent and weak, "I understand. You can go down first and let me think about it carefully."
"Your Majesty..." The ministers wanted to persuade him.
Lian Cang's eyes widened with anger, "Shut up! A clay man still has some temper. If you continue to force me, then we will die together!"
The four family heads looked at each other.
Forget it, let’s just leave it at that today. We can’t push people too hard. No one can guarantee whether Lian Cang has any trump cards in his hand.
After everyone left, Lian Cang suddenly opened his eyes.
"Come here, quickly send the Imperial Concubine, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince to come see me."
"No need, Your Majesty. We're here." The voice of Imperial Concubine Jiang Ya came from outside the palace.
In a short while, the mother and her two children arrived in front of Lian Cang. The imperial concubine glanced at the extremely embarrassed Lian Cang with disdain, "Your Majesty, just say whatever you want to say."
"What's that look in your eyes?"
Lian Cang's face turned as black as charcoal and he asked sternly.
The imperial concubine calmly tidied her hair and smiled, "Your Majesty, of course it's a look of disdain. Look at you now, you're like a cripple, you need someone to serve you when you eat, drink, defecate and urinate. I'm just disdainful of you, which is already giving you face."
"You..." Lian Cang's blood boiled and he spat out blood again.
"It stinks, it stinks." The imperial concubine was nauseated and quickly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. "Tsk tsk, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are still as petty as you were back then. Look at your pale face. If you spit out a few more mouthfuls of stinking blood, you will die sooner or later."
"By then, you will be the first monarch in the history of Shen Yao Nation to be angered to death by yourself. Hahahaha, it's hilarious just thinking about it."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The second prince and the third prince also laughed.
"You, you guys..." Lian Cang's blood was boiling and he wanted to vomit blood again, but he didn't dare to vomit again. He didn't want to be angered to death.
"You are so outrageous. Even though I am lying in bed, it does not mean that I am incapable of protecting myself."
The imperial concubine rolled her eyes and said, "You make it seem like the three of us, mother and son, have no ability to protect ourselves. Your Majesty, if you have the guts, just kill us!"
"But..."
"But what?" Lian Cang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The imperial concubine sneered, "But if you kill us, you will become a completely lonely person. My two sons, although they are not favored by you, are still your flesh and blood. When you die, they will have to wear mourning for you no matter what."
Lian Cang's eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared, "No, even without the second and third elder brothers, I still have the three sisters Lian Xueluo, Lian Xuehe, and Lian Xueyi."
"Hahaha!" Upon hearing this, the imperial concubine couldn't help but burst into laughter again, "Lian Cang, ah Lian Cang, let's not mention Lian Xueyi first, let's talk about the Lian Xueluo sisters. They are talented, have a broad mind, are kind and moderate, and should be the most suitable candidates to become the king, but you favor boys over girls and don't like these two sisters."
"Not only did he dislike them, but he also tried to kill them and let Kong Siqin and her son bully him."
"For your good father, it's good that they didn't kill you with a single sword. You still want them to recognize you? You're dreaming."
"That's right." The third prince nodded in agreement.
Fortunately, he and his brother are sons. If he were a girl, his father would definitely despise him.
The imperial concubine's eyes were full of sarcasm, and she continued, "Lian Cang, Lian Cang, even today, have you not clearly seen your situation?"
"You have already been deserted by everyone. Do you like this ending?"
"No, I still have my daughter Lian Xueyi." Lian Cang grinned and tried his best to refute.
