Li Qin looked at Zhu Qizhen, who was now stunned, and said:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, those treacherous officials in the capital actually dared to support a false emperor."
Once I have stormed the capital and eliminated the treacherous officials, I will surely present the false emperor before Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, you are still the Emperor.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Zhu Qizhen immediately replied:
"My dear minister, is what you say true?"
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Zhu Qizhen immediately grasped Li Qin's hand and spoke excitedly.
Li Qin then said to Zhu Qizhen:
"Your Majesty need not worry. As long as I am here, Your Majesty is the only emperor of Great Wu."
As long as I breathe my last, you are the absolute emperor of Great Wu.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Zhu Qizhen immediately exclaimed excitedly:
"My dear minister, you are truly the most loyal subject of my Great Wu."
Li Qin sneered inwardly when he heard Zhu Qizhen address him as the most loyal minister of the Great Wu.
Zhu Qizhen has now been betrayed by everyone.
Even if he returns to the capital, he will no longer be the emperor.
He can only rely on himself now.
"My dear minister, as long as you eliminate the treacherous officials and restore me to the throne, I will grant you the title of king and the Nine Bestowments."
We, the ruler and his subjects, share the world.
Looking at the excited Zhu Qizhen in front of him, Li Qin knew very well that Zhu Qizhen was just making empty promises to him.
He often used this tactic with his subordinates.
Zhu Qizhen's promise was merely a title of kingship and the Nine Bestowments.
The pie he painted was the Founding Duke.
As for his idea of sharing the world, Li Qin scoffed at it.
Shared world?
Once I have the world, I will be the ruler and you will be the subject. Everything will be mine, and I will share the world with you, my subject.
However, Li Qin did not say that, but instead said to Zhu Qizhen in front of him:
"Please go back and rest for a while, Your Majesty. I will soon be able to capture the capital and seize the false emperor."
I urge Your Majesty to return and, in your name, write several more imperial edicts to proclaim them to the world.
They claimed the false emperor had usurped the throne, inciting the entire world to condemn him, and even creating a rebellious faction loyal to him.
"Alright, alright, I'll write it as soon as I get back."
With that, Zhu Qizhen, under the "protection" of his guards, went back to write the imperial edict.
Li Qin's expression changed as he said:
"How's the tunnel digging going?"
"It'll be ready soon."
"Alright, have the soldiers get ready. As soon as the tunnel is completed, launch an attack immediately and take the capital from both inside and outside."
