Super Dimension Kill
Chapter 39 Showdown Part 2
"The current Holy Emperor is worried that the Thirteenth Prince, the 'God of War', will be so powerful that he will shock the Lord. He blames Thirteenth for the death of the five princes who were struck to death by lightning on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th and 15th more than half a year ago. On top of the prince’s head, it is decreed that the thirteenth prince, who has made great achievements, be captured and brought back to the capital to be executed by the queen!”
This news, spread like the wind by "careful people", quickly spread all over the Zhou Dynasty!
When they heard the news, people who were still immersed in the joy of the victory of the Vulcan Army and driving the Tinder Kingdom barbarians out of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the price of food in various places began to stabilize again, and they could slowly afford to eat again, couldn't help but feel They were all stunned. ♦♦ ♦♦
A question mark appeared on all their heads.
Has the old emperor of Zhou lost his mind and gone crazy again? !
The Thirteenth Prince has been treated unfairly, which made the people full of sympathy and pity, especially after learning that Chen Kuizong of the Vulcan Army was greedy for power and made mistakes, causing the Vulcan Army to lose troops and generals, but the result was that This crime was blamed on the Thirteenth Prince, which resulted in the Northern Territory being deeply invaded by the Tinder Kingdom barbarians, leaving many people unable to eat. The resentment of the Northern Territory people against the old emperor had already reached a critical point.
Even in the south and west, where the impact was not too great, the people were angry and resentful for the Thirteenth Prince.
As a result, it's good now. Not only did the dog emperor not reflect on it, but he even worsened his situation. After the thirteenth prince defeated the tinder barbarians, he was afraid that his achievements would overwhelm his master, so he wanted to kill the thirteenth prince!
The reason he gave was even more outrageous!
He actually brought up an old incident from more than half a year ago and forced it on the Thirteenth Prince!
For a time, people all over the Great Zhou Dynasty were excited, and they cursed the foolish king regardless of the consequences of being imprisoned!
"If your eyes are dim, step aside as soon as possible! Don't stay in that position and harm others and yourself!"
"I think this dog emperor is an old fool! How many years does he have to live? The Thirteenth Prince is such a wise and talented person. It's just a matter of not making him the crown prince and inheriting the throne. Instead, he targets him at every turn! Really let a dog It would be better to be an emperor than him!"
"I don't know anything else. I only know that the Tinder Barbarians came to make me unable to eat. It was the Thirteenth Prince who led the Vulcan Army to repel the Tinder Barbarians and allowed me to eat again! Who can let me eat? I will support whoever becomes the emperor!"
"Such a father is really going to die! If it doesn't work out, the Thirteenth Prince should rebel! We can all understand!"
The people began to criticize the current emperor.
And soon, another gust of wind blew.
"After the Vulcan Army learned that the imperial court had sent people to capture the Thirteenth Prince, they became excited and raised their flags to rebel, but were stopped by the Thirteenth Prince! At the same time, the Thirteenth Prince did not believe that the current Holy Emperor would treat him like this, and wanted to return Jing asked to find out, but he was assassinated by a dead soldier from the capital on the way. After surviving the catastrophe, he was disheartened and finally returned to the Vulcan Army with escort Chen Kuizong and officially raised the flag of rebellion! "
This news spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty once again when the people in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty were indignant because the current Holy Emperor ordered the capture of the Thirteenth Prince and beheading him after returning to the capital in autumn on such outrageous and unfounded charges. 【6】【9】【s】【h】【u】【x】【.】【c】【o】【m】
When the people everywhere heard the news, not only did they not blame the Thirteenth Prince at all, but they clapped their hands and applauded!
"It's better! Such a great Zhou, such a dog emperor, it's okay not to want it!"
"Great! The Thirteenth Prince finally refuses to accept the situation! This time when he returns to the capital, the Thirteenth Prince must get back everything he has lost!"
"I support the Thirteenth Prince so much! Only such a wise king can make our life easier!"
"The old emperor deserves death, and the new emperor should be established!"
The people only felt that the rebellion of the Thirteenth Prince had finally released the breath that had been blocked in their chests when they heard that the Thirteenth Prince suffered various unfair treatments!
Not only do most people have no complaints about this, but they also feel refreshed!
Under such "public opinion", the Northern Vulcan Army withdrew from the border and began to press on the border towards the capital!
Half a month later.
The Vulcan Army is approaching ten miles away from the capital!
…
The sky is overcast with dark clouds.
There were muffled thunder sounds from time to time among the clouds, and it seemed like it would rain soon.
The capital city on this day was unprecedentedly different from the past.
It was clearly daytime, but the city gates in the east, west, south, and north directions of the capital were all closed tightly, and the streets were deserted, without any citizens in the city.
The various street shops that used to be busy are now closed.
Not just these shops, but every household in the capital has closed its doors.
However, from the gaps in the door panels or the openings of the windows, pairs of eyes can be seen quietly looking outside, observing the situation outside.
On the top of the north gate, there were densely packed groups of men in black armor. They were the imperial guards of the capital!
Among these Imperial Guards, the old emperor was wearing a battle robe and standing at the top of the city with all the civil and military officials with a solemn expression. Looking down at the black Vulcan Army, his face was as sinking as water.
"Is there no news from the Western Frontier and Southern Xinjiang?"
The old emperor asked Ren Hongwu, the director of the Dark Night Division beside him. His seemingly calm face was full of anxiety.
When he received the news that the traitor was raising a flag to rebel, he immediately sent spies to the Western Frontier and Southern Xinjiang to mobilize troops to stop him. However, half a month had passed, and the Western Frontier and Southern Xinjiang did not even send troops to stop him, and there was no response at all. None!
This made the old emperor very anxious.
But as an emperor, he couldn't show it, so in the past half month, his hair, which was already gray, was now almost full of white hair.
Upon hearing his inquiry, Ren Hongwu, Director of the Dark Night Department, just shook his head.
When the old emperor saw this, his expression suddenly became a little older and weaker.
How did things turn out like this?
He couldn't understand.
Obviously he didn't make any changes, but why could the traitor discover his murderous intention in advance and raise the flag to rebel one step ahead?
Could it be that the treacherous son was really the "god of war" and had the ability to predict the future?
Just when he was puzzled, among the dark Vulcan army below, a young man with a handsome face wearing a white robe and armor slowly rode out from the army and came to the city. He looked up at the city and sighed. He shouted: "Father, surrender, don't resist needlessly, you should know the power of the 'bomb'. I don't want the capital, the city where I was born and raised, to be harmed, nor do I want the people in the capital to be harmed." ”
This young man wearing a white robe and armor is none other than Su Ling!
"Hmph! Put away your hypocrisy!"
Facing Su Ling's surrender, the old emperor snorted coldly and said, "If you really don't want the people in the capital to be harmed, you should dismount and surrender immediately!"
He had already seen through Su Leng's hypocritical face and did not accept this trick at all.
However, the civil and military officials and a group of imperial guards around him collectively faced him at this time, and then, headed by Prime Minister Li Qingyuan, they all raised their hands to him and said: "Your Majesty, listen to His Majesty, stop here, don't do it anymore It’s a pointless struggle.”
The sudden defection of Li Qingyuan and others caught the old emperor by surprise.
"You guys... you..."
He stared blankly at Li Qingyuan and other officials, saying "you" for a long time and was speechless.
Finally, he suddenly had a look of enlightenment and realized everything.
It turned out that all the civil and military officials in Beijing had already been secretly communicating with the traitor...
All the advice given by Li Qingyuan and other officials were just instructions from the traitor behind his back...
Suddenly, he turned to look at Ren Hongwu, the director of the Dark Night Department.
Ren Hongwu seemed to understand his thoughts and said apologetically: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I have a reason to help His Highness Thirteenth."
Hearing these words, the old emperor smiled miserably.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
This time, he completely lost!
…
Three days later.
Royal palace, clan mansion.
A young man in rich clothes walked in, surrounded by a group of guards.
"You guys wait for me here."
After entering a courtyard called Jingsi Yuan, the young man walked into the courtyard alone and opened the door of the bedroom in the courtyard.
In the bedroom, I saw a white-haired old man with messy hair and sloppy clothes lying slumped on the edge of the bed. Surrounded by wine bottles standing or pouring down, a strong smell of alcohol filled his body.
This old man was none other than the old emperor who had to surrender and was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion.
And the young man was none other than Su Ling.
"Father, I haven't seen you for three days. Are you okay?"
Seeing such a decadent old emperor, Su Ling chuckled and greeted him.
But the old emperor seemed drunk and did not hear his words and remained motionless.
Seeing this, Su Leng chuckled again and said, "Father, there are only you and me here, so stop pretending."
As soon as these words came out, the "drunk" old emperor suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him coldly: "Are you finally willing to take off your hypocritical face?"
When Su Leng heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "There is no way. After all, only good people who are forced to resist can obtain the greatest forgiveness of 'public opinion'. Father, you should be able to understand, right? After all, you fell into the 'public opinion' this time." 'Up here.'
Hearing these words, the old emperor's face suddenly became embarrassed.
Hit someone without slapping someone in the face, and expose someone without exposing their shortcomings. Su Leng's words struck a chord with him.
However, he was worthy of being a generation of emperors. He quickly adjusted his mentality, looked at Su Leng coldly again, and asked: "I really want to know how you secretly communicated with Li Qingyuan and those people. Those literati will die if they are stubborn." I’m not afraid, there’s no reason to help you!”
"It is precisely because of their literary character that they help me."
Su Ling chuckled lightly and replied: "I have control over the handle that can ruin their reputation. Isn't this what those literati value most?"
"A reason to be ruined?"
The old emperor frowned: "What can be used to ruin the reputation of all those civil servants?"
In response, Su Ling just smiled and did not answer.
Seeing that the question could not be answered, the old emperor stopped dwelling on the issue and asked instead: "Were the spies I sent to the Western Frontier and Southern Border intercepted by you?"
"Um."
Su Ling nodded slightly.
He has the ability of [self-knowledge], and all the spies sent by the old emperor, whether they were from Anyesi or trained by him, were all accurately intercepted by him, and not a single one slipped through the net.
This was also the reason why there was no movement from the troops in the western border and southern border - there was no news that he led the Vulcan Army to rebel at all.
"all?!"
The old emperor was shocked.
"all."
Su Ling nodded in confirmation.
Seeing this, the old emperor was shocked.
What kind of intelligence network is needed to intercept all the spies he sends?
Or is it that he is like a sieve around him, unable to hide any information?
When he thought of his surroundings, he thought of the Dark Night Division, who seemed to be working for him, but actually had already surrendered to this rebellious son.
He took a deep breath and said, "Needless to say, the rumors about you being treated unfairly were spread among the people by the Dark Night Division, right?"
"Aren't they telling the truth?"
Su Leng smiled again and asked back.
This confirmed the old emperor's guess, and at the same time, it also made the old emperor speechless and unable to refute.
So far, the old emperor had no more doubts in his heart.
He looked at Su Leng coldly again and said coldly, "You came to me, not to answer my doubts, right?"
"Since my father is so smart and guessed the ins and outs of the matter so quickly, why not guess the purpose of my trip?"
Su Leng smiled softly and said.
The old emperor was silent for a moment after hearing this, then looked at Su Leng and said coldly again: "If you dare to kill me, you will be labeled as a father killer, and you will never be able to wash it off in your life!"
He had already guessed the purpose of Su Leng's visit to him.
After hearing his words, Su Leng smiled again and said: "If you can bear it, why can't I bear it?"
His words instantly made the old emperor's pupils shrink! Emotions instantly became excited!
"How is it possible! How could you know!!"
He had clearly killed all those who knew about this matter!
"If you don't want others to know, don't do it yourself."
Su Leng looked at the emotional old emperor and smiled: "Father, I know you better than you think. It is precisely because I know what kind of person you are, so if you don't die, I will be uneasy!"
Sorry, sorry, it's an hour late, but there is nothing I can do. It's no exaggeration to say that I wrote three versions of this chapter, and at least wrote 5,000 words in vain, so I'm sorry for delaying it until now.
OK, now that I have finished posting, I am ready to go to bed. Before going to bed, I would like to ask for votes again. If you think this book is good, please vote for it. Thank you very much~
