Chapter 1482: Chapter 1452 King Jin is Not Here
After finishing writing, he eagerly picked it up and said to the Emperor, “With this imperial decree, the Ducal Residence’s grievances will be cleared. All of this was done by Jin Zijin, who has long plotted for the throne, frad King Jin, frad the Ducal Residence, and killed the Protector Duke. He deserves death!”
This was an imperial decree nationwide for the cris of Jin Zijin. With it, as soon as Jin Zijin returns, he can be openly captured, or even be executed on the spot.
Jin Tianzhong, feeling triumphant, flaunted the decree he had written in front of the Emperor.
The Emperor remained calm, without much reaction, making him feel as if he punched into cotton, lacking any sense of achievent.
It was the Empress Dowager and Eunuch Wan who were quite frightened.
The Empress Dowager angrily said, “You shall not place the bla on Zijin. People are not fools; they know what the truth is. You will not succeed.”
Jin Tianzhong snorted coldly, “The truth? Only the victor has the right to speak of the truth; this is not sothing you need to worry about, Empress Dowager.”
Everything was ready. By the ti he calculated, Ya Song should have brought King Jin back from the Zongrenfu by now.
He instructed those around him, “Summon the ministers to the palace and tell them that the Emperor, in caring for the Empress Dowager, has not slept for days and has fallen ill. The Emperor, unable to attend to state affairs, but he has sothing important to announce!”
Jin Tianzhong, assured of his victory, tidied his clothes proudly, glancing at the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and others.
He then laughed and said, “Emperor, you are so gravely ill. Ordinarily, I would not disturb your recovery, but in these extraordinary tis, I must trouble you. I hope you will cooperate and personally go out to explain the situation to everyone.”
After speaking, he gave orders to himself, “I must also trouble the ladies to help the Emperor and Empress Dowager change clothes!”
The Empress Dowager cursed, but seeing the Emperor like a puppet, felt helpless.
The Emperor had resigned, what could she do?
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were attended by palace maidens into splendid attire and neatly arranged, and then supported by palace maidens and eunuchs out of Renshou Palace.
Due to the Emperor’s health, the court session was not held in Taihe Hall, but chairs were brought directly for the Emperor and Empress Dowager in the courtyard outside Renshou Palace.
The ministers, who had been waiting at the palace gate, entered in line, and by the ti the Emperor was seated, they were all standing properly.
Jin Tianzhong was surprised to find that Ya Song, who had been gone for a long ti, had not returned. Could he have encountered trouble at the Zongrenfu?
After all, he commanded the military and carried the Emperor’s orders to fetch soone; who would dare stop him?
“Soone, go find out what’s up with Ya Song? Why hasn’t he brought His Highness King Jin yet?”
Eunuch Wan stood behind the Emperor, watching him like a clown.
It must be said, experience counts; despite all your calculations, you didn’t foresee that the Emperor had secretly let King Jin leave long ago.
Without King Jin, let’s see how you conclude this matter.
Eunuch Wan smiled triumphantly.
On the other side, Ya Song had returned, his face dark throughout, and the guards behind him were holding a few n from the Zongrenfu.
“Where is King Jin?” Seeing this scene, Jin Tianzhong knew that sothing had gone wrong.
Ya Song cupped his hands and said, “General, His Highness King Jin is not in the Zongrenfu.”
“Not there?”
The ministers’ faces changed dramatically, whispering among themselves below the stage.
“Not there? Where did he go?” Jin Tianzhong grabbed Ya Song by the collar, his face extrely ugly.
Ya Song directed his gaze at the Zongrenfu guard kneeling.
