I'm married to the God of War

Chapter 72 Turning Point

Prime Minister Zuo entered the palace, and respectfully gave the emperor the courtesy of a monarch and minister.

If the emperor hadn't seen the list, he would have really been blinded by him.

The emperor said: "Master Zuo, I have treated you well, why did you join forces with the rebels to betray me." When he spoke, his breath was rough, and his words were full of disappointment and complexity.

Zuo Xiang said: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is stupid. He is immoral and incompetent, so he is not worthy of this great responsibility." He is very clear, and has been observing the prince of Huainan for these years. .

The prince just took up an orthodox name.

The emperor's harem has nothing to do with it, and I don't know if the emperor felt the crisis and didn't put his mind on governing the country at all. Instead, he was stuck in the harem all day long, fighting with the empress and several concubines there.

The following droughts and locust plagues are ignored, and the foreigners have not paid tribute this year and have spoken provocatively.Peasant uprisings emerged in endlessly everywhere.The treasury is empty, the imperial examinations are fraudulent, and the prince is also frantically eliminating dissidents.

Zuo Xiang didn't want to mess around with the Prince of Huainan at first, but seeing the emperor and the crown prince's rot together, he was also angry. Since they don't cherish it, it's better to overthrow this regime and replace it with someone else as emperor.

When Zuo Xiang entered the palace today, he probably guessed that the emperor would use this to make trouble, and he would die at worst.He had taken his family to other places long ago, and he was alone with no worries.

Hearing his words, the emperor said: "If you help them, you won't be afraid of being infamous for thousands of years." Since ancient times, the history books have always pursued orthodoxy.

Zuo Xiang said: "Your Majesty, you are confused. History books are always written by the victors."

The emperor's face turned pale.Zuo Xiang said again: "Your Majesty, your power is over."

It is a great shame and humiliation that the emperor took the country from his ancestors, but was taken away by his younger generations.He has been in poor health recently, coughing non-stop when he gets angry.Angrily speechless.

Zuo Xiang said: "Your Majesty, there is another way. The Prince of Huainan is your nephew. You can abdicate and give him the throne. Keep a face."

Since ancient times, it is not that the emperor Zen has not been abdicated to his nephew.

As an overlord, doesn't he like to play palace fights with the empress and some concubines, so that he can play freely in the future, and don't have to worry about the big and small things in the court.

The emperor was so annoyed by Prime Minister Zuo's understatement, he immediately said: "Come here, if you commit crimes below Prime Minister Zuo, you will be punished with twenty lashes."

The left prime minister was then taken away, and the whips of the court and cabinet were very vile, and no seals were left after the beating.But it hurts.Twenty lashes will kill you and lose half your life.

When Prime Minister Zuo was taken away, he didn't even say a single word of begging for mercy.

After he left, the emperor completely slumped on the chair.His face suddenly looked ten years older.

The chief eunuch who had been following him said sadly: "Your Majesty, you have to cheer up, you are the master of the world."

The emperor said: "Lord of the world? Hehe."

Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, you have to cheer up."

The emperor immediately spread it out and began to write a Zen imperial edict, appointing Prince Huainan as the next king.

After the emperor finished writing, his heart was full of sadness. When he succeeded to the throne, he also wanted to be a generation of Mingjun, so why did he end up in this fate.

The emperor has never been so disappointed. If the prince of Huainan has some military strength, he will not be afraid.But more than half of the important ministers are on the side of Prince Huainan.

The emperor dismissed the father-in-law and asked him to call the prime minister Zuo who had been tortured to discuss matters.

Power is supreme and addictive, even if you want your nephew to take over, it will not be immediately.He wanted to talk to Prime Minister Zuo, and let his nephew take over after a hundred years.

The father-in-law withdrew.

After a while, news of Prime Minister Zuo's torture reached the Queen's ears. Prime Minister Zuo is an important minister in the court, how could the emperor issue such an order.The turmoil in the court has even been heard by the empress who lives deep in the harem.At this juncture, such a thing happened, which made her deeply disturbed.

At this time, the prince said: "It's not good."

The queen hadn't seen her so flustered for a long time.

The crown prince yelled that as soon as he came in, and the queen immediately waved away all the servants.The palace maid next to the empress walked last and closed the door lightly, but she didn't go far and waited beside her.

The prince said: "The left minister was beaten. Does the queen mother know why?"

"Why?"

"The prince of Huainan and Shen Kuo intend to conspire against each other. Prime Minister Zuo will help them as a lobbyist and let father step aside."

As soon as the prince said the words, the queen was furious: "Bold." All these years of hard work is for the throne.These people dared to be so arrogant in rebellion, no wonder the emperor wanted to beat him.

The queen said: "Your father is still kind, this kind of rebel should be killed, and his body should be exposed outside the city, so that everyone can see the end of treason."

"It's more than that. The father seems to have been persuaded, and wrote the edict of the Zen position, to let the prince of Huainan succeed. What about the mother, the child?" The prince's face flushed with anger, and the hope for so many years came to nothing at this moment.He was going crazy.

The prince sounds noble, but in fact he has to set an example everywhere and win over important officials.Even though he is above ten thousand people, he is still under one person. The emperor can take away his honor at any time. The abolition of the crown prince last time was his darkest moment.

It was not easy for him to be re-established. When encountering rebellion, his father wanted to abdicate. He was comfortable as the emperor for the rest of his life, but how could he bear it.

The queen was also furious when she heard this: "Your father is so confused."

The prince said: "Mother, after so many years, I am only one step away from the throne. The child is not reconciled." Then he said: "Father is old. He is afraid of rebels, but I am not! Even if these people use the banner of justice, Also a traitor. I want to sit on the throne. Let everyone prostrate at my feet."

The queen said: "I'll go to the emperor immediately." She felt sorry for the child very much, and her dissatisfaction with the emperor reached the highest point.

The prince said: "Mother, what do you think this is?" He took out a bottle of medicine in his sleeve, and it said Hedinghong on it.

After all, it was the child born by the queen, and he quickly understood what he wanted to do.Said: "Make sure nothing is lost, once lost, nothing is lost." She urged.

The crown prince said: "I don't want to be so desperate, my father forced me." This was heard by the empress's most important maid, who wrote a brief message to Shen Kuo with special communication skills.

……

After Zuo Xiang was whipped, the emperor ordered the imperial physician to prescribe medicine for him, and then he talked with the emperor in the imperial study for a long time before letting him out.

He didn't care about the injuries on his body, and immediately made an appointment to see the prince of Huainan and the eldest son.Seeing the two of them, he expressed the emperor's thoughts.

The Huainan prince's elite soldiers were ready to attack the city, but now the emperor is showing weakness.

Prince Huainan said to Prime Minister Zuo: "What do you think about this matter?"

Zuo Xiang said: "The emperor also knows that the prince is too stupid to bear the responsibility. It would be best if it can be resolved peacefully."

The prince of Huainan nodded and said, "Just let me know that I will go to court tomorrow. Let the emperor read the imperial decree on the spot."

Zuo Xiang said: "Understood."

If the emperor is willing to make peace, regime change is their own business.
