Soon, Prince Yu brought his troops and surrounded the Qishi Garden.
The remaining imperial guards also retreated and stayed in the Strange Stone Garden, confronting Prince Yu's troops.
"Father!"
Prince Yu changed into a suit of armor and said, "You are old, it's time to retire."
Emperor Chengping was furious: "Rebellious son! Tie yourself up and apologize immediately, and I will spare your life. Otherwise, I will cut you into pieces and grind your bones to dust."
Prince Yu laughed heartily: "Father, you are indeed old and confused. Who can save you now?"
"Rebellious son! Rebellious son!" Emperor Chengping was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
Zhu Zhongyan quickly supported him: "Calm down, Your Majesty, calm down."
Emperor Chengping was so angry that even though he knew he had a sure win, he couldn't help but be angry: "Li Jingzhong, you rebellious son, are you trying to piss me off to death?"
"Don't make me angry. You don't have many days left to live anyway."
Prince Yu Li Jingzhong shouted, "You're going to die anyway, why bother occupying the position? Pass the throne to me quickly, and you can live a few more days."
"you?"
Emperor Chengping's eyes went dark and he fell to the side.
Zhu Zhongyan was so frightened that his soul flew away. He quickly supported Emperor Chengping and said, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty?"
Emperor Chengping had a crooked mouth and squinting eyes, saliva was flowing from the corners of his mouth, and he made a hoarse sound.
Zhu Zhongyan's heart sank: "It's over, the emperor has been so angry that he has become paralyzed."
Who could have thought of such a good strategy that could immediately wipe out all the rebels, just because Emperor Chengping was too irritable and became paralyzed by anger?
Seeing Emperor Chengping like this, many people immediately made a judgment and felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
Zhao Lin quickly stepped forward to support Emperor Chengping on his other side and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, how are you?"
“I, I…”
Emperor Chengping was speechless.
Prince Yu was stunned at first, then burst into laughter. "Father, you don't have many days left to live anyway. It doesn't matter whether you are paralyzed or not. Hurry and pass the throne to me while you can still speak. I don't want to be charged with regicide."
"Li Jingzhong, you are committing treason and kneeling down to surrender quickly and beg for forgiveness from His Majesty, otherwise it will be too late to regret!" Zhao Lin shouted loudly.
Prince Yu looked at Zhao Lin and shook his head. "Zhao Lin, I'm actually very optimistic about you. You and I are family, so we should be closer. But why did you insist on killing Pang Dongxing? If you do that, I can't protect you anymore."
There was a commotion among the crowd.
What did Prince Yu mean when he said that he and Zhao Lin were one family?
Is there any secret that no one knows?
Zhao Lin sneered, "You're the one who can't protect yourself. As long as we escort His Majesty out, the loyalist troops from all over the country will defeat you and make you regret coming into this world."
"You still want to go out?" Prince Yu sneered.
"Zhao Lin, kneel down and confess your guilt to the prince and to Lord Pang, and I can save your life." Zhao Jingzhou said in a deep voice.
Pang Zhuo said calmly, "For Lord Zhao's sake, I can spare your life, but you must prove yourself."
"How to prove it?" Zhao Lin asked.
"You know." Pang Zhuo said.
Zhao Lin glanced at Emperor Chengping and sneered, "Stop talking nonsense. His Majesty has treated me well, how could I betray him? If you want to kill His Majesty, just step over my dead body."
Zhao Lin grabbed a spear from a guard and stood in front of Emperor Chengping.
"He's so stubborn!" Pang Zhuo said to Zhao Jingzhou, "It's not that I don't give you face, he's just asking for death."
"Brother, are you still angry at this time?"
Zhao Chenhan popped up and said, "Hurry up and listen to Daddy. Don't make him angry."
"What? What's Prince Zhao's name, Zhao Lin?"
"I'm a little confused."
"Lord Zhao's biological son was lost long ago and has never been found. Could it be..."
Many ministers looked at Zhao Lin in shock, and then at Zhao Jingzhou.
Zhao Lin said calmly, "Zhao Chenhan, are you feeling very proud? Now, whether I admit it or not, His Majesty will no longer trust me, making me feel like a nobody. Do you think this is a good move?"
Zhao Chenhan's expression changed slightly.
Zhao Jingzhou shouted, "You rebellious son! You're still targeting Han'er at this time. Do you hate him that much?"
There was a loud bang, and many people looked incredulous.
"Zhao Lin is truly Lord Zhao's son."
"My God, what kind of feng shui is this in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion? A great general and a governor of the second rank."
"Dragons beget dragons and phoenixes beget phoenixes. It's true. The difference between a biological son and an adopted son is so obvious."
Listening to everyone's discussions, Zhao Chenhan's expression changed.
He secretly remembered those who said he was not as good as Zhao Lin.
Just wait, when the prince shows up with his men, you will all die.
Zhao Lin sneered, "Zhao Jingzhou, put away your despicable thoughts. I have no secrets from His Majesty. His Majesty has long known about our relationship. You can't sow discord between us."
"Um?"
Zhao Jingzhou frowned.
Zhu Zhongyan shrilled, "Zhao Jingzhou, His Majesty trusted you so much, yet you betrayed him. Do you still have a conscience?"
Zhao Jingzhou said calmly: "Your Majesty is old and confused. Prince Yu is the future of Daqi. I am doing this for the greater good, not for personal gain."
"Bullshit!" Zhu Zhongyan shouted angrily, "The Northern Di suddenly sent troops south. Did you collude with them? And you still have the nerve to say it's for the greater good?"
Zhao Jingzhou said, "I don't want to explain any more. You will understand later. Your Majesty, your health is too poor. I will pass the throne to His Royal Highness Prince Yu. Rest well."
Emperor Chengping said with difficulty: "Rebel, traitor, traitor..."
Prince Yu grew impatient and said, "I am the new emperor. Who agrees and who opposes?"
No one said anything.
Prince Yu said, "Those who agree come here, those who oppose stay."
