Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Li Dequan thought about it and decided to give it a go.

"The emperor already knows about your bringing troops into the palace, and he has told this old slave to tell you that as long as you are willing to put down your sword and return to the East Palace, the emperor can forget the past."

After saying this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

If the prince can listen, he can be regarded as selling a favor to the prince. Even if he can't listen, he has tried his best to persuade him, and the emperor can't blame him no matter what.

Since the incident with King Qi, the emperor has obviously aged a lot. Not only did he quickly appoint a prince, but he even deliberately indulged in elixirs to avoid conflicts in the court. He never thought that he would actually become obsessed with alchemy.

If it hadn't been for the batch of pills this time, His Majesty would never have come to the court, but who knew that the general would encounter such a big thing just like this.

Your Majesty sacrificed a lot for the country in his early years to defend the territory of Dayu. However, he lost the territory only a few months after it was handed over to his son. How can your Majesty not be angry?

But no matter how angry he was, His Majesty just asked the prince to return to the palace to reflect, and he never ordered the prince to be deposed.

Even if it is like this, Your Majesty already knows that His Highness the Crown Prince is going to rebel, but you are still willing to give him a chance to repent. How pitiful is God to see this loving heart for his son.

However, Li Qiming did not understand Emperor Qitai's thoughts at all. He only felt that Emperor Qitai would treat him the same way he treated King Qi, and perhaps he would be even worse than King Qi.

He felt that what Li Dequan said at this moment was just a delaying tactic, trying to hold him back until reinforcements arrived to rescue him.

Suddenly, several loud noises of "bang bang..." were heard in the distance.

Li Qiming stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance with excitement on his face: "Did you hear that? I'm afraid all Gu's people have broken through the city gate now. Soon the capital will be under Gu's control. Are you sure you still want to stop me?" Don’t let Gu go in?”

"Your Highness..." Li Dequan wanted to persuade him again.

Emperor Qitai's voice came from the hall: "Li Dequan, let him in."

After all, Li Dequan has been with Emperor Qitai for most of his life. How could he not hear the overwhelming anger contained in the emperor's words at this moment?

He sighed silently in his heart and opened the door: "Please invite me, Your Highness."

Li Qiming walked into the hall proudly with a long sword in hand.

Before the lights could be lit in the main hall, it was pitch dark, and only the huge alchemy furnace placed in the center of the main hall could be vaguely seen.

Emperor Qitai's serious voice came from behind the alchemy furnace: "Why are you looking for me so late?"

Li Qiming did not bow when he saw Emperor Qitai. He even stood his sword on the ground with his hands on the hilt: "The emperor is surrounded by traitors and traitors. My son is here to share the worries of his father and help him eliminate the traitors." of."

"Oh? You should tell me about the traitors around me."

"The biggest traitor is naturally Gu Zicong, whom you have always favored without reason. This traitor has repeatedly opposed me and vetoed my decisions. Is this the behavior a minister should have?"

"A king should be good at accepting advice. If you can't even accept the advice of your ministers, how can you know how to know people and do their jobs well?"

Li Qiming: "So my father is going to depose me as the crown prince and support King Jin to take the throne?"

"When did I say I wanted to abolish..."

Before Emperor Qitai finished speaking, Li Qiming suddenly threw the long sword away and hit the ground with a clang.

Li Qiming roared angrily: "First you destroyed my mother's clan, and then you handed me over to be raised by an unfavored concubine. You also let the King of Qi compete with me, the eldest son of the emperor, for power. You have looked down on me since you were a child. If that's the case... If that’s the case, don’t blame your son for being unfilial!”

"Rebellious son." Emperor Qitai didn't know that his eldest son originally viewed him in this way, and his disappointment was palpable.

Already having a son who failed to live up to expectations, he thought that this son would be different after getting what he wanted, but the result still disappointed him.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a calm voice: "What do you want to do?"

Li Qiming waved to the outside of the palace, and a soldier immediately reached out and handed him a bright yellow edict. He raised the edict and said: "As long as my father is willing to put the jade seal on this edict of abdication, we, father and son, will remain the same." Still a loving father and a filial son.”

Emperor Qitai's voice was a bit colder: "What if I don't want to?"

"If you don't want to..." Li Qiming's expression was stern. He rushed forward, picked up the sword and pointed it in the direction of Emperor Qitai. "Then don't blame your son for being rebellious. I will send you to be with my mother in this alchemy room today." The concubines are reunited."

"Then I want to test whether you are really that capable." Emperor Qitai's voice suddenly sounded like ice. He waved his big hand and his broad sleeves squeaked.

At the same time, a group of chamberlains holding palace lanterns filed in from the apse and stood in front of the floor-length curtains on both sides of the hall. The interior of the hall was suddenly as bright as day.

The next moment, a group of soldiers wearing black armor and holding swords and shields neatly walked out from behind the curtain and protected Emperor Qitai.

When Li Qiming saw this, he smiled disdainfully: "Father, do you only have these guards around you to protect you?"

After saying this, he quickly retreated outside the palace, and the soldiers he brought quickly surrounded him.

Li Qiming shouted into the palace: "Father, are you really unwilling to put a big seal on the imperial edict?"

A heavy cold snort came from Emperor Qitai in the hall.

"If that's the case, don't blame me for being unfilial." Li Qiming looked at his subordinates, "Which one of you can take down the emperor first today will be the first to be credited to you."

At this time, the soldiers following Li Qiming were panicking. They dared to let them rebel. After all, they were in the name of being a Qingjun, but the crime of regicide was to punish the nine tribes.

Some people even directly expressed the fear in their hearts: "Your Highness, this... this is a serious crime that will kill the Nine Clans."

As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword in Li Qiming's hand passed through his left chest. He looked at Li Qiming with wide eyes and disbelief: "Your Majesty..."

Li Qiming kicked him and used his strength to draw his long sword and pointed it at everyone: "Whoever dares to take a step back will suffer this."

Everyone couldn't help but swallow as they watched the still warm blood dripping from the sword.

Some people think that they will die anyway, and they have reached this point. Even if they retreat now, it is just to save their families from death, but even if they are not afraid of death, there will be no good ending.

It would be better to follow the prince and fight his way out. Once accomplished, he would be promoted to a higher position and enjoy endless glory and wealth.

They were heartbroken. They raised their weapons and rushed into the hall with an angry roar. They fought fiercely with the guards in the hall. Soon, a strong smell of blood came out of the hall, and many people were lying in a pool of blood.

Suddenly, Li Qiming outside the palace pointed in the direction of Emperor Qitai and burst into laughter: "Hahahaha... As expected, you have never believed in me."
