Although he couldn’t figure out what was going on, the result was that he had struggled for several days without gaining the slightest advantage?
This made him enraged with sha, certain that the old cunning Emperor had it all planned out.
In front of everyone’s eyes, the furious Jin Tianzhong suddenly drew his sword, its tip aid directly at the Emperor’s chest.
The Empress Dowager gasped in shock!
The ministers were also startled, what was he trying to do?
Regicide?
Wasn’t it agreed to carry out this matter beautifully, rely forcing the Emperor to appoint King Jin as Crown Prince? What does he want now?
They could support King Jin as Crown Prince, but they couldn’t bear the cri of regicide, nor could they endorse a regicidal ruler.
Soone shouted, "Jin Tianzhong, what are you doing? That’s the Emperor!"
"Shut up!" Jin Tianzhong, enraged to the point of losing his composure, had sworn an oath to his elder brother to secure this task. Since he had secretly entered Beijing, everything went smoothly due to the Emperor’s illness. With success so near, how could he be willing to fail?
So, in his fury, he suddenly reversed the sword aid at the Emperor and accurately hurled it into the body of the speaking minister.
The minister’s eyes widened, then he collapsed with a thud.
Everyone was stunned into silence, what was he trying to do, had he gone mad?
This was soone who supported him.
Everyone was too shocked to speak. Despite the overwhelming comnts, no one dared to stand out for fear of being killed by the now irrational Jin Tianzhong.
Jin Tianzhong coldly swept his gaze over those ministers incapable of even tying up a chicken, saying, "I, General, have been in Beijing for so long and done so much, failure is not an option, do you understand? If I hear any dissenting voices again, your fate will be the sa as his!"
This crazy and violent deanor frightened ministers who were not used to such bloodshed, and Jin Tianzhong’s act of intimidation effectively silenced all dissent.
Suddenly everyone realized they were on a pirate ship. The current situation was far more complicated than simply supporting King Jin as Emperor; Jin Tianzhong had gone completely mad.
But at this point, they all seed like ducks driven to the edge, with no way back.
Everyone was too frightened to even breathe near the body at their feet.
Eunuch Wan stamred, "What do we do now? With His Highness King Jin absent, perhaps we should... invite His Highness Prince Qin?"
Jin Tianzhong’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, a savage expression on his face.
Eunuch Wan quickly corrected himself, "Or perhaps we should... wait for the Eldest Prince to return to the palace?"
Jin Tianzhong slapped Eunuch Wan, sending him flying and leaving him unconscious.
"Humph, don’t even think about it!" Jin Tianzhong said coldly, "Soone, bring the eldest grandson from Prince Qin’s residence!"
He intended to set up a puppet; neither Prince Qin nor the Eldest Prince should even think about it; instead...
He sneered at the Emperor, "His Highness King Jin has no children. Emperor, you, being the Emperor, have been called father by His Highness King Jin for over twenty years. Surely you wouldn’t want to see his line end, would you? Prince Qin has two sons; shouldn’t one be adopted by His Highness King Jin?"
"That requires the consent of their parents!" The Emperor replied blandly.
Jin Tianzhong snorted, "I think it’s better to forget it, too troubleso. You are both their family head and the sovereign of the country; what you say goes!"
Soone had already gone to fetch the eldest grandson, and Jin Tianzhong laughed heartily, bringing out the decree previously stamped with the Jade Seal.
The eldest grandson wouldn’t arrive for a while, so in the anti, wouldn’t it be better to settle accounts with the Ducal Residence and Jin Zijin first?
