They don't want to die.

Tao Linpu picked up the poisoned wine, clasped his fists towards the few people and said, "My colleagues, I, Tao Linpu, do not regret meeting you. I will leave first, and we will see each other in the next life!"

He tilted his head back, wanting to swallow it in one gulp.

Zhang Chong grabbed the wine glass and threw it to the ground in anger. He tried to persuade him: "Sir, don't be upset! If you leave, what will happen to us? Are hundreds of people going to die because of us?"

Tao Linpu covered his face and cried bitterly.

He cried, and the people below followed suit. Even the reckless Zhang Chong couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. He clenched his fist and waved it in the air angrily.

"Hey!"

After a while, the housekeeper patted Tao Linpu on the shoulder. He came to his senses instantly, wiped the tears from his face, and spoke in a calm voice, like the dark night.

"What should we do? Otherwise, everyone should go to the palace with me tomorrow to confess our crimes."

Zhang Chong was surprised: "Plead guilty?"

Tao Linpu nodded: "Yes, if you confess your guilt, you may be able to keep your body intact."

The others fell to the ground, their faces ashen, and said in despair: "Then, then isn't it still death? Sir Tao, is there no other way?"

"Yeah." Zhang Chong clenched his fists, feeling shortness of breath in his chest, "It's too cowardly to die like this!"

Tao Linpu sighed and asked, "Master Zhang, why do you think it's not a cowardly death?"

Zhang Chong stood up and opened his arms, showing the heroism of a military commander, "At least after the fight!"

He slowly put down his hand, turned around, blinked his eyes constantly, and his brain was spinning, and he thought of a good idea.

"Master Tao, I have a solution!"

Tao Linpu's eyes sparkled. He stretched out his hand and motioned Zhang Chong to sit down: "Please speak."

Zhang Chong gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't we just rush into the palace and kill that bastard emperor? We still have thousands of people. We can fight him to the death. If we have to die, we'd rather die on the battlefield. Drinking poisoned wine is a coward!"

If we lose, there will only be a trace of victory anyway.

If I win, there is still a chance, maybe I can become a founding hero.

They all agreed with this approach.

Tao Linpu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Master Zhang, this is a good idea. I agree with it. Come on, bring some good wine! I want to have a drink with you all to celebrate our victory!"

Throw away the poisoned wine.

The good wine was refilled.

While they were having fun, they did not forget the important work of the next morning. They all rushed home and could sleep for another three hours.

Zhang Chong walked to the door, then went back and asked in a low voice: "Master Tao, the Marquis's side..."

"Don't worry, I will tell the Marquis." Tao Linpu waved at Zhang Chong and said calmly, "Sir Zhang, to tell you the truth, the Marquis has already made the decision."

Zhang Chong's eyes lit up: "You mean..."

Tao Linpu said, "My Lord, you are sure. Lord Zhang can lead the charge tomorrow. I will report Lord Zhang's contribution to you truthfully. Maybe he can even become a general."

"Thank you, Master Tao."

Zhang Chong smiled and clasped his fists.

He hummed a song and went back home happily to sleep.

-

The next day.

The people of Fengcheng quietly opened the doors and found that no one dared to go out into the streets. All windows and doors were sealed. They knew that a great battle was going to take place in the palace.

They want to hide and avoid trouble.

The palace gates were wide open, the palaces were silent, the palace roads were covered with dust, there were no slaves or palace servants, this place looked like a former glory that had been abandoned.

The Marquis's sedan chair passed by them.

Lord Ke looked at Tao Linpu, nodded, and signaled the servant to go forward.

Tao Linpu asked curiously, "The emperor is back, why is there no one cleaning the palace?"

Zhang Chong laughed twice and became particularly excited when he thought about what he was going to do soon.

Like a brainless pig, extremely stupid.

"Oh, Lord Tao, think about it, they have been oppressed by the emperor for a long time, and they have long been dissatisfied. They finally escaped after the incident, how dare they come back to die?"

The official behind him clasped his fists and flattered him: "Yes, we are still strong-willed. We didn't run away and came back..."

Tao Linpu and Zhang Chong turned around at the same time, thinking that there was something wrong with what he said, their faces became frighteningly gloomy. Tao Linpu put his hands behind his back and looked at the young official who was already sweating.

"Why did you come back? Are you coming back to die?"

The official knelt on the ground, slapping himself repeatedly, and begged, "I was wrong. I meant to say, revive our forces and charge into the palace?"

Tao Linpu raised his cold eyes: "Really?"

Noisy!

The blade was pressed against his neck and with a fierce swipe, the petty official fell to the ground, his eyes wide open and he died in terror. Perhaps he had never expected this.

Just came to attend the morning court.

How could he die?

Zhang Chong said: "Just kill him directly. Why bother talking to him? There might be changes. Let's go to court as soon as possible."

He must get the position of general.

To bring honor to the family, open a family tree!

When they arrived at the meeting hall, they saw Eunuch Ke, whom they had not seen for a long time. Eunuch Ke put on a smile and looked at the dog official who already knew the details.

He smirked and said, "My dear (dog officials), long time no see, how are you all?"

The Marquis nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Eunuch Ke. I wonder where the Emperor is? Is he doing well?"

Feng Zi held Xie Ningzi's hand and walked into the hall together.

The voice arrives before the person leaves.

"It's good that you guys care about me!"

Eunuch Ke shouted in a shrill voice, "The Emperor has arrived!"

The ministers were stunned, and hurriedly knelt on the ground at the reminder of the people next to them: "Long live our emperor."

There is no conflict between being polite and rebelling.

Tao Linpu looked at the Marquis, who shook his head, signaling him to stay calm.

Feng Zi smiled and introduced: "The one next to me is the sister of the Regent of Qi State. She is also my lover and will be the Queen of Feng State. She is the only woman in the harem. Let me introduce her to you first."

The minister was stunned.

The Marquis took the lead in bowing: "Meet Miss Xie."

Eunuch Ke said, "The Emperor of Qi and the Regent are here!"

The next second, a tall, handsome man appeared outside the palace, accompanied by a tiny boy. The ministers all turned their heads to look at him. Without much thought, they could guess that it was the cold and stern regent as rumored.

And the little emperor who was forced onto the throne.

Xie Wei walked slowly to the front.

"The Regent of Qi State greets the Emperor."

Feng Zi's hands were shaking with excitement. He really wanted to jump down, pat Xie Wei and Qi Xuan En on the shoulders and call them "good brothers", but he couldn't.

According to what Xie Wei said.

Adults need to be steady.

He raised his hand: "No need to be polite."

Minister: "Greetings to Emperor Xu and the Regent."

The Marquis glanced at several people and felt extremely depressed. He ignored the look Tao Linpu gave him, closed his eyes and acted as if no one was there.

But he didn't expect it.

The person Tao Linpu is looking for is so unreliable.

Zhang Chong stretched out his hand, pointed and cursed: "You dog emperor, do you think you are so great just because you have the support of Qi? Brothers, if you want a carefree life, follow me!"
