C46 The New Emperor of Jinnan (2/2)
”Hahaha …” Domineering Great General, if not for your impulsive personality, how could I have let you fall for my trap? ”
The person who spoke slowly walked out from the array. He was none other than Hu Xiong's number one participant.
When Hu Xiong saw that Duan Zhi had walked out of the array, he was dumbstruck. He had never thought that his life and death brother, who had followed him for more than ten years, would actually plot against him.
”Domineering Great General, with your impulsive and suspicious personality, how could you be qualified to assume the position of the Jinnan? Do you think that just because you are bold and unscrupulous, you can reach the position of the Great General and attack it and take down the West Qin Nation? It is all because I, Duan Zhi, am giving you advice and advice. I, Duan Zhi, have plotted against the entire world, how can I always be subservient to a brute like you? ”
Duan Zhi started to speak without thinking about the ten years of brotherly feelings, causing Hu Xiong to be so angry that he started stomping his feet.
Hu Xiong was not someone who was good at arguing. In the face of Duan Zhi's betrayal, other than being angry, he could not say anything. Coupled with his irritable and impulsive personality, he was infuriated to the point of spitting out a mouthful of blood. It was an attack on his heart.
”General Wang, are you alright?” Bai Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.
”I'm fine, I'm going to kill this traitor.” The first time he had tasted the feeling of being betrayed was enough to make him want to kill.
”Don't be anxious, we need to figure out who is commanding us from the back. Duan Zhi alone might not be able to mobilize the elite soldiers, who are only following His Majesty's orders.” Bai Sheng's face was also filled with killing intent, but he did not lose his cool.
Duan Zhi heard everything clearly, he was not in a hurry to stop deputy general, as if everything was being controlled by his palms.
”Commander Bai is really calm. However, it doesn't matter if you know the truth. No one should even think of escaping today.” Duan Zhi's wild and complacent appearance was truly sinister and ugly.
Seeing that Hu Xiong and Yue Yang did not respond, Duan Zhi continued: ”The reason why I came under your command over ten years ago, was because I was under the orders of Prince Consort Ma, oh no, under the orders of New Emperor. My goal was to nurture the military power, and prepare to take over Jinjiang's imperial power.”
”For the past ten odd years, I have worked hard, and most of the generals in the army have followed the orders of the New Emperor. By the way, Tao Yong and the others who only followed the orders of the have been killed by me.”
It was originally the Prince Consort of the Grand Princess, Lin Chongxi, who wanted to rebel, and had been conspiring for more than ten years. This was a heaven-shaking conspiracy, how could it not shock Hu Xiong and the other two?
”Why didn't you take action at that great time a dozen years ago? Because at that time, Grand Princess still did not know what New Emperor was thinking, and if Grand Princess did, she would have firmly opposed it.
”Furthermore, there was no one in the New Emperor at that time. Even if they tried to seize or kill Nan Jifu and obtain the Imperial Jade Seal, they wouldn't be able to sit on the throne. and will also be overthrown by people from the army, and then help the Royal Family become the true Emperor. ”
Just as Duan Zhi was narrating all of his plans from ten years ago, Bai Sheng gave the order to the Left Guard with his eyes. He wanted him to report the truth of the matter to Nan Jifu so that he could come up with the appropriate response.
You received news that the Grand Princess said that you were conspiring against me as a fake, and the reason why you obtained Nan Jifu's secret decree was also because the New Emperor had asked the University Scholar to forge a fake. In the end, the news that you obtained Forbidden Army's order to temporarily imprison Nan Jifu was also fake.
”As expected, in order to repay Nan Jifu's kindness, you magnified your impulses, and did not doubt the authenticity of this information at all. It's also thanks to knowing you from your side for the past ten years, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to use your personality to accomplish such a thing. ”
”When you brought troops to the palace, I knew that my plan succeeded, hahaha … In the position of the Great General, I, Duan Zhi, am the most suitable candidate, and you, Hu Xiong, are unworthy. ”
Duan Zhi laughed again, causing Hu Xiong to vomit blood again.
Forbidden Army, who had gone to explain the truth of the matter, was already standing in front of Nan Jifu.
”Your Majesty, this isn't good. It's not that the Great General was domineering and wanted to rebel, but Prince Consort Lin Chongxi was planning to rebel. They plotted that you would be placed under Forbidden Army's house arrest …”
The Forbidden Army told him the whole story. Nan Jifu was so angry that he felt dizzy, this was the husband of his most respected close royal sister, he had never doubted Lin Chongxi's loyalty to him.
After such an incident, Nan Jifu could no longer live to regret it. He immediately ordered Hu Xiong to lead his troops to stop the invading Duan Zhi, and also ordered Bai Sheng to lead the Forbidden Army to protect him and the crown prince to escape the palace. This way, they could first preserve their lives, and then secretly gather troops that did not turn to Lin Chongxi to counterattack. Or borrow troops from other countries to regain the throne.
As for the rest of the family members, the reason Nan Jifu did not bring them with him was because he believed that no matter how heartless his royal sister was, he would not ignore all of their feelings and kill them all. It was just that if any of the palace maid resisted, they would probably die a horrible death.
The decision of the current Nan Jifu wasn't because of how important the throne was to him, but because he saw the true reason for his rebellion. After he gave up on Zhulu Central Plains, Lin Chongxi, who was already determined to take the imperial power, could no longer sit still.
Once Lin Chongxi obtained the throne, the people of Jinjiang would once again be embroiled in a slaughter. This way, the citizens of Jinjiang would once again sink into a abyss of suffering.
