"After all, the Empress Dowager is not Your Highness's biological mother, and she murdered the late Emperor. Your Highness is actually avenging the late Emperor!"
"Hanging the Empress Dowager's head on the city gate is to let the late Emperor rest in peace!"
"The Empress Dowager murdered the late Emperor and deserves to be tortured! Your Highness's actions are courageous, resourceful, and responsible, and are justifiable both morally and logically."
When the historians saw the evidence in the box, they realized that although they were recording true history, it was also incomplete history.
"That's not all." Jiang He smiled calmly.
He clapped his hands: "Bring it up!"
A rather handsome young man was brought up.
"His...his face..."
One historian exclaimed in surprise!
His face looked like it was carved from the same mold as the young emperor.
“This man is the owner of the largest cloth merchant in the capital. He was originally just an ordinary servant, but fourteen years ago, he suddenly rose to prominence and became the owner of the largest cloth merchant in the capital,” Jiang He explained. “And behind him is the Empress Dowager.”
Jiang He paused for a moment before revealing the shocking secret he had uncovered: "The Empress Dowager committed adultery with him and gave birth to a young emperor who was not of royal blood, but rather the offspring of the Empress Dowager and her lover."
In an instant, all those historians felt their blood swell and their vital energy surge!
Not content with poisoning the late emperor, she even had an affair with another man, allowing a young emperor who wasn't even of the late emperor's blood to ascend the throne?!
"Your Highness, may I ask if the young emperor may undergo a blood test to confirm his kinship with this person?" Jiang He asked Gu Mu respectfully.
"allow."
At Gu Mu's command, Eunuch Cheng brought the young emperor up.
The needle pricked the young emperor's index finger, and the blood fell into the bowl, mingling with the young man's blood.
The young emperor was still shouting loudly, "I am the supreme ruler, this is utter treason!"
But the historians, looking at the scene in the bowl, all fell silent.
They were wrong!
You've been wrong all along!
If it weren't for His Highness's iron-fisted approach in overthrowing the Empress Dowager, the throne would have unknowingly fallen into the hands of others!
Your Highness lured the enemy with your own body, killed the wicked Empress Dowager, and restored the power of the world to the hands of the royal bloodline!
Your Highness has protected the late Emperor's empire!
"Your Highness, please forgive us!" On one side, the young emperor was cursing and swearing, while on the other side, all the historians knelt down before Gu Mu.
Jiang He picked up his pen again and added another entry to the Records of the Grand Historian.
"The Empress Dowager used tonics combined with incompatible spices to murder the late Emperor. There is ample evidence and witness testimony. Furthermore, the Empress Dowager had an affair with a merchant lord. A blood test revealed that the current Emperor is not the late Emperor's son, but rather the merchant lord's son. This coup was initiated by the Empress Dowager. Ten thousand troops besieged the city, trapping Regent Gu Mu in the capital. The Regent, with his extraordinary strength, fought against a hundred men at the top of the tower. The ten thousand troops were powerless against him. At dawn, the army attacked the city and quelled the coup. Thus, the power of the empire returned to the royal bloodline."
