C1 The Fall of the Empire (1/2)

Red walls, green bricks and green tiles covered the tall pavilion. Deep within the grand courtyard, the noblemen were choked with sobs.

Embroidery ribbons, dragon crowns on the top, jade hands on the pen, a piece of paper.

The Bai Chen bowed his head, wearing the flower plume at the top. His face was white and his ears red as he sobbed sorrowfully.

The entire city was on fire, and the ruins of a ruined wall were everywhere. The refugees were wailing in grief, and the entire city was in ruins.

”Your Majesty, please take the Land of the Nine Prefectures as your priority and hand the crown prince over to those barbarian beasts!”

In the imperial court, a jade-faced courtier that was covered in meat was trembling all over and cold sweat had drenched his clothes. He lay prostrate on the ground. His face was covered in tears, and his speech was shaky. This exaggerated gesture was not a bow, but was rather an act of utter powerlessness on the part of the Hundred Empire Army, who was about to charge into the palace.

”How dare you!” Men, pull out this traitor and kill him for me! ”

On the throne of the golden palace, the fat emperor had a hideous expression on his face. His eyes were filled with boundless killing intent. However, his loud yells were not exchanged for a single soldier, because all the guards of the combat power had already joined the bloody battle.

The emperor's eyes were round and angry, upholding his last bit of dignity as an emperor in the ruler.

”The crown prince is the national treasure trove. How could he possibly hand it over to those barbarian and bandit kingdoms?” As long as we protect the crown prince, my Chutang will not die. His days are bountiful, and the Chutang will raise her troops again. She will rule the world and take back the wealth that her ancestors created. ”

The Emperor stood up from his dragon throne and raised his hands high, shouting out to the courtier below. courtier cried bitterly, his expression was full of sorrow. He looked at the emperor who served him day by day, as if he was admiring the last remnants of the dynasty.

Deep within the palace, three thousand nobles sobbed silently. The luxuriously dressed woman had a calm expression as she sat upright on the graceful phoenix chair. This woman was the current Queen of Chutang, the mother of Crown Prince Wei Yutian.

”Empress, the crown prince has already been escorted out of the palace. He still has ten great Forbidden Army Commanders protecting him, so he definitely can escape the pursuit of the bandits. I hope that esteemed wangfei can be at ease.”

A lady dressed in white with a delicate face rushed over from outside the palace with a travel worn look. As she spoke, the sword in her hand constantly dripped with blood.

”That way, I can feel at ease!”

There was relief in the empress's calm expression. She stood up and walked to the entrance of Phoenix Luan Palace, then looked in the distance at the palace maid Eunuch who was running for his life. The sounds of slaughter that came from all directions filled her ears with white jade. Tears that had been controlled for a long time finally gushed out.

The tears of three thousand noble people were like the wails of ghosts that had escaped from hell. Despair filled the air as the empress's recklessness filled her heart in an instant.

The dignified and graceful Queen slowly closed her lifeless eyes, and then the 'ding' sound of the pill breaking came from her mouth. Very quickly, as the medicinal properties entered her body, the Queen of the first generation fell onto the ground with a thud, causing the entire palace door to tremble, as if it was the death knell of the The Empire of Chu and Tang.

”Empress …”

All the nobles kneeling on the ground cried out in grief. When they saw the Queen's collapse, their wails resounded throughout the world.

Wei Yutian was the crown prince of the Chutang Royal Family. Under the encouragement and management of the previous emperors, the Chutang became a powerful nation with tens of thousands of citizens living in peace. Under the arrogance of his father, the Chu and Tang Dynasties Emperor, Wei Yutian was lawless. He did not put the Hundred courtier Hall in his eyes, and often killed him to pay his respects to the Foreign ministers, to humiliate his wives, and to cause the entire Hundred Empire to hate and fear him.

Chu and Tang Dynasties Calendar. Year 380. New Year's Eve. A hundred dynasties of celebration. All the Foreign ministers s that came to pay their respects were princes and external phase s. Wei Yutian was intoxicated from his wine and his heroic spirit soared to the sky. His words caused all the Hundred Empire Foreign ministers s to be humiliated, and not only that, they even allowed all the Foreign ministers s to flirt with his wives. Foreign ministers could not bear it, resisting in the imperial court. Wei Yutian howled as he drunk, he ordered the guards to imprison all of the Foreign ministers s in the Celestial Prison, allowing all forms of torture to enter his body. Instead of stopping him, Emperor Wei Zhenbang praised his son's tyrannical attitude as a genius emperor, and his subjects laughed along with him.

Wei Yutian ordered the tormented Crown Prince Foreign ministers to be imprisoned in his own residence, insulting his wife in front of her. Foreign ministers really could not accept this humiliation. Some of them even tried to kill themselves by hitting their heads against the iron cage, some of them wanted to curse, some of them wanted to cry, some of them wanted to bite their tongue and spit blood. After that, Foreign ministers's wives all committed suicide.

Waiting until the fresh feeling had dissipated, Wei Yutian humiliated his country, revealing the might of a Monarch in the imperial court. The Foreign ministers, the crown prince, who had been tormented but was still alive, was sent back to his country. At this point, the Hundred Empire became furious. They raised their troops and vowed to destroy Chu and Tang Dynasties and capture Wei Yutian alive. They wanted to make him suffer the humiliation of the entire world, living a life worse than death. His heinous crime had caused the common wrath of the people and caused his death to be beyond redemption.

The Hundred Empire Army's momentum was like a hot knife through butter, as they killed all the Chu and Tang Dynasties's soldiers that were in their way. The whole palace was filled with corpses and blood was flowing like rivers. In the harem, all the nobles had committed suicide. These nobles knew that if they were caught alive, they would definitely suffer the same torture as those wives of Foreign ministers who had been bullied by the crown prince. Suicide was the only way to preserve their own innocence.

Within the imperial court, all the officials were holding a bowl of poisoned wine.

”Everyone, we are not a good emperor. We have our ancestors, we have our officials, and we have people under the heavens. Now that the doors of the palace have been broken and the empire has been destroyed, in order to prevent the Hundred Empire barbarians from humiliating us, I have specially ordered all of you to drink this poisonous wine with me in order to preserve the final dignity of the empire. ”

The emperor Wei Zhenbang raised the poisoned wine in his hand, still standing high above the great hall. The tears of grief and indignation of the s had already turned into despair towards their empire. They had serious expressions, with their heads held high and their chests puffed up. They looked like brave warriors who were about to die.

”This official vows not to be a slave of the country, long live His Majesty, long live, long live...”
