Chapter 502 King Cheng's Means
"What?" The emperor's eyes widened suddenly, staring at him in disbelief, "Yuan Qi, can you say it again?"
Zhao Yuanqi's expression was somewhat cruel: "Father, your favorite son, Zhao Yuanjing, is dead."
The emperor stared at him, and after a while, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Liu Gui hurriedly helped him up in fright, and cried, "Come quickly, send the imperial doctor!"
The emperor sat leaning against the edge of the bed with a sad look on his face and tears streaming from his eyes.
"Yuanjing, how come, how come?" He muttered to himself in grief, "Who killed him? Was it the traitor King Cheng?"
Zhao Yuanqi squatted in front of him with his hands behind his back, and said, "Father, the people of King Cheng have now controlled the palace and the capital. The emperor's grandmother is also in his hands. There is no way back. If I want to persuade my father, I should hand over Get out the jade seal."
The emperor's body shook, and he said angrily: "Even if I die, I will not hand over the jade seal!"
He grabbed Zhao Yuanqi's skirt and said angrily: "Are you here to be a lobbyist for King Cheng? If you are my son, you should go and kill that traitor!"
"Father, don't get too excited. Be careful." Zhao Yuanqi gently pushed his hand away, "My son is also thinking about Father. Does Father know the current situation in the capital? Seventy-three wives and ladies are locked in the palace. Father thinks, do those so-called loyal courtiers dare to act rashly?"
The emperor spat out two more mouthfuls of blood angrily, and his face turned pale.
"King Lu, stop irritating the emperor!" Concubine Liu Gui couldn't help but said, "Since you have a way to get in, why don't you think of a way to save the emperor from going out."
"Go out? Unless the father hand over the jade seal and sign the abdication edict, otherwise... what kind of cruel and crazy things King Cheng will do, I can't guarantee it." Zhao Yuanqi persuaded, "Father, you Just hand it over, what's the use of struggling now? You will only harm more people."
The emperor gasped and said angrily: "Prince Cheng rebelled and harmed the common people, and you actually said that I harmed people?"
Zhao Yuanqi sighed: "As far as I know, His Royal Highness's concubine who is pregnant, and the prince's son..."
"What happened to them?" The emperor hurriedly asked, "Go and tell King Cheng, if he dares to hurt a hair of them, I will never spare him!"
"In addition to the prince's side concubine and son, there are also the sons and daughters of King Jin... If you want them to be safe, you can only depend on the father." Zhao Yuanqi sighed and said, "Father should know that since King Cheng rebelled, he will He will never look back. He asked his sons and ministers to persuade the emperor, from now on, every hour, King Cheng will kill a prince and grandson until the father is willing to hand over the jade seal to make way."
The emperor was speechless in shock.
He couldn't imagine how the loyal and honest King Cheng dared to do such a rebellious and cruel thing.
He wants to kill the prince and grandson one by one?
The emperor glared at Zhao Yuanqi: "Third son, since you can see King Cheng, go and kill him for me, go quickly! I order you to go!"
"My son has no power and no military power. How can he be the opponent of King Cheng?" Zhao Yuanqi said softly, "If the father didn't favor the crown prince and King Qin so much at the beginning, and gave some of the military power to the son, how could it be today? Father, ah , You are really wise, you were confused for a while."
The emperor stared at him blankly, as if he understood something.
He pointed at Zhao Yuanjing tremblingly: "Yuan Qi, you and Cheng Wang are in the same group, right?"
