Chapter 113: The Prince Plots A Rebellion, Chaos!
Edited by: Mochiusagi
Emperor Tang had died.
This news spread throughout Chang’an City like a wildfire. It moved towards the surrounding countries, even to the countries farther away around the world, at a very fast speed.
“His Majesty died?”
“Sigh~ If it weren’t for His Majesty re-establishing the Tang Empire Law, my family would have been sent to the frontier…”
“How could His Majesty die?”
…
Hundreds of people in Chang’an City were deeply saddened by the news.
Emperor Tang had done a lot of ‘good’ in the ten years he was on the throne. Now that he has died, people naturally appreciated his kindness.
At the same time.
At a mountain, in a valley outside Chang’an City.
“That Old man has finally died.”
Prince Chen muttered to himself.
Emperor Tang sent the princes to the fief on the outskirts of the empire, but Prince Chen returned midway and deliberately waited outside Chang’an City.
He waited for this news.
When Emperor Tang was still alive, he dared not do anything, but now that he is dead, Prince Chen was no longer bound by his hands.
Prince Chen’s thoughts turned sharply. He finally got up and came to the deep valley.
“Emperor Tang is dead.”
Prince Chen looked at the two figures and respectfully said.
The two figures’ aura was deep and unmeasurable. They are Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmasters that had undergone transformations.
The one on the left was dressed in a brocade robe and had an elegant demeanor. He is King Wuyang of the Southern Ming Empire.
King Wuyang is the uncle of the Ming Emperor. He stepped into the Martial Arts world at a young age. With the countless resources of the Southern Ming Empire, he entered Peak Grade 1 and became its foundation.
In order to take the throne, Prince Chen did not hesitate to join forces with the Ming Emperor.
After the Ming Emperor agreed, he also let King Wuyang come over to make the plan foolproof.
Apart from this, the Ming Emperor also sent eight Grade 1 Great Grandmasters to follow them.
As for the one on the right, it was an old man wearing a black robe with a strange and gloomy aura around him.
The old man is named Yin Jiu Bat, who is also a Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmaster, but his Cultivation Technique has hidden dangers and very once in a while, he needs to drink human blood.
This time, Prince Chen contacted Yin Jiu Bat with the condition of providing the other with 20 years of human blood in exchange for helping him.
Although there are other Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmasters, they were scattered all over the world, and they were also disinclined to pay any attention to Prince Chen.
Yin Jiu Bat is the only Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmaster under Prince Chen.
But the price in order for Yin Jiu Bat to be able to take action was also large, Prince Chen has to supply him blood for the next 20 years.
“Your Majesty Chen, don’t forget that the blood that this old man needs is the blood of a Martial Artist.”
Yin Jiu Bat gloomily glanced at Prince Chen.
“Martial Artist’s blood?”
Prince Chen’s mouth twitched.
When he made the deal with Yin Jiu Bat, the latter did not say that what he needed was the blood of a Martial Artist.
But as long as Yin Jiu Bat takes action and helps him sit on the throne, everything can be tolerated.
“I agree to this matter.”
“But that Eunuch Zhao in the Imperial Palace…”
When Prince Chen said this, he stopped and looked at Yin Jiu Bat and King Wuyang.
“Don’t worry, leave that old bastard to me.” Yin Jiu Bat said.
When Prince Chen heard this, he slightly relaxed in his heart.
In the entire Imperial Palace, he was most afraid of Eunuch Zhao.
That’s why despite receiving the support of the Southern Ming Empire’s King Wuyang, Prince Chen was still worried and invited Yin Jiu Bat at a high price.
“Your Highness Chen, after killing the Crown Prince, how do you plan to ascend the throne?” At this time, King Wuyang, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly opened his mouth and asked.
Although Prince Chen is also from the Imperial Family, even if he kills the Crown Prince, he would still need to convince everyone else.
“Don’t worry.”
“I have already contacted the Ministers whom Father had demoted. As long as the Crown Prince dies, I will take them back to Chang’an and enter the main court.”
Prince Chen had clearly figured out a solution.
Since there were courtiers who were not obedient, just change them.
Although this was definitely a long-term hidden danger, it can at least help Prince Chen solve his urgent needs.
“Then, let’s go.”
King Wuyang slightly nodded and looked towards Chang’an City.
…
Outside the Long Life Temple.
The Civil and Military Officials were kneeling on the ground, expressing their grief.
Crown Prince Li Sheng was the same. Ever since Emperor Tang died last night, he had been standing here, staring at the Long Life Temple.
“Your Highness, take care of your body…”
An eunuch walked up to Li Sheng and whispered.
“I understand.”
Crown Prince Li Sheng calmed himself down. He knew that the most important thing now was to take over everything Emperor Tang had left for him.
Li Sheng turned slightly, looked at the Officials kneeling on the ground and was about to speak.
But suddenly, in the distance, a rumbling sound came from the city.
“What happened?”
Crown Prince Li Sheng was surprised and looked towards the city.
Then the Commander of the city hurriedly came towards Crown Prince Li Sheng, he bowed slightly and said: “His Highness, Prince Chen is outside… He came in…”
“What?!”
Crown Prince Li Sheng’s eyes shrank.
After a while, Crown Prince Li Sheng made a decision.
“You follow me.”
Crown Prince Li Sheng moved towards the city immediately.
The rest of the Officials looked at each other before quickly following Crown Prince Li Sheng.
…
At this moment.
In the city.
Prince Chen was standing there quietly.
Yin Jiu Bat was also standing there. Around him, were a dozen of Tang Empire Grade 1 Great Grandmasters staring at him with hostility.
“Where is Eunuch Zhao? Come out, you old bastard! Are you just gonna watch?”
Yin Jiu Bat put his hands behind his back and was smiling contemptuously.
Although there is a hidden danger in his Cultivation technique and he needs to drink human blood every once in a while, in any case, he is still a Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmaster. How could he be stopped by just mere Grade 1 Great Grandmasters?
The reason why he hasn’t acted yet was because he was on guard against Eunuch Zhao.
Although Yin Jiu Bat pretended that he wasn’t afraid to meet Eunuch Zhao eye to eye in front of Prince Chen, he was actually extremely cautious in his heart.
After all, no one that achieved Peak Grade 1 Great Grandmaster is a fool, how can they despise the existence of the same rank?
Just when the two sides confronted each other.
Crown Prince Li Sheng finally rushed to the city.
“Li Chen, Father just died, what are you doing?”
Crown Prince Li Sheng glared at Prince Chen.
“What am I doing?”
“Then let me tell you.”
Prince Chen walked out slowly, looking at Crown Prince Li Sheng with a cold look: “Why can you, an offshoot, sit on the throne?”
“Today, I want to let Father know that his choice is wrong!!”
When Prince Chen said this, the eight Grade 1 Great Grandmasters from the Southern Ming Empire behind him, took a step forward.
King Wuyang also looked towards Crown Prince Li Sheng. He said indifferently: “His Highness, do you need me to kill him?”
“Are you?”
Crown Prince Li Sheng immediately reacted when he saw King Wuyang.
“Southern Ming Empire’s King Wuyang?”
“Li Chen, you’re banding with another country?”
Crown Prince Li Sheng didn’t expect that Li Chen, a Prince of the Tang Empire, banded with the Southern Ming Empire!
