The interior of the imperial city is splendid and luxurious.
As the sun set, the city gates were closed, and the entire imperial city, including the original imperial army, was replaced.
Under the solemnity, the imperial study room was even more tense.
The young emperor Jingshi was sitting upright. Beside him, Jing Hengzheng was setting up a pen for him.
"Your Majesty, just listen to my advice. After all, we are all of the Jing family's blood, and this Yuexia Kingdom is also our Jing family's kingdom. Do you think that without Jingchen, you will be more capable than me in managing the Yuexia Kingdom and benefiting it?" Common people?"
Jing Shi looked at the Zen edict that had been written in front of him, but still did not move.
"Uncle Three Emperors, before my father left, he told me that I must protect Yuexia Kingdom and the throne. Therefore, I cannot agree to your promise."
"Your Majesty's words are wrong. If I take this position, I can still protect the Yuexia Kingdom. Not only can I protect the Yuexia Kingdom, but I can also expand its territory. Perhaps in the near future, the world will be unified and all will belong to my Yuexia Kingdom."
"The Second Emperor's Uncle said that when there is a war, the people who suffer are all the people. Instead of having ambitions to expand the territory, it is better to focus on how to consolidate the territory so that foreign enemies will not dare to covet it, and be considerate of the people so that they can live and work in peace and contentment."
"Your uncle, the second emperor, has been the most conservative in his life. This kind of conservatism is useless in front of big countries. Now that the world is prosperous and weak, and our country is strong, if we don't take the opportunity to capture them, they will come to attack us when their troops are stronger in the future. idea."
"But Uncle Sanhuang, if we hadn't provoked the war this time, we and Tiansheng could have been at peace."
"That's because they're not strong enough now."
"Ten years ago, they had the Xu family's army and Beiyao's army. Their national power was so strong that the Xiaoye Kingdom had to retreat, but they still lived in harmony with our country. If they wanted to start a war, wouldn't it be the best time? "
Jing Heng was speechless for a moment, and Jing Shi continued, "Uncle Three Emperors, when the war breaks out, all lives are devastated, and the people are miserable. Why can't we just live in peace and peace like this? What the people expect is never about the territory. Big or small, I just want the years to be peaceful and peaceful for a hundred years."
Jing Heng's face looked a little ugly. After all, he couldn't refute Jing Shi's words, so he had to avoid the topic.
"What I am discussing with Your Majesty today is not about war. Those things can be discussed later. What we are talking about today is about the Zen position. Your Majesty, please don't talk about it."
"No, in my opinion, this is the same thing. If the Third Emperor's Uncle is really capable of benefiting the people, I would be willing to take the throne. But the Third Emperor's Uncle is focused on war, so I cannot hand over this position to you, otherwise, I will It is unfaithful, unjust, and unfilial, and I am also sorry to all the people of Yuexia Kingdom."
Jing Shi said resolutely, with no possibility of changing his mind.
Jing Heng stopped trying to persuade him. He straightened up with a sneer, his eyes filled with arrogance.
"I'm afraid your Majesty made a mistake. I'm here today not to discuss with you. But take a look at the entire Shangjing, and even the entire Imperial City. Do you still have anyone to rely on and the power to rely on?"
As he said that, Jing Heng picked up the pen and put it in Jing Shi's hand, "So I would like to advise you, if you cooperate well, approve this Zen edict, and then hand over the jade seal, I may be able to grant you a good fiefdom. You live the rest of your life in peace, otherwise..."
Threat, naked threat.
But although Jing Shi is young, he has been under the guidance of Jing Chen, and now he is not an idle person.
"I'm afraid the Third Emperor Uncle has also forgotten that as long as you don't have my personal approval and the seal of the jade seal, you can't legitimately ascend to the throne. Do you dare to kill me? Is it possible that you want to be accused of usurping the throne? In the entire court, who do you think will obey you? At that time, the Fourth Emperor Uncle will fight back to the capital and ask you to kill him. It will be justifiable for him to ascend the throne again."
Every word and word Jing Shi said made sense, but it also stimulated Jing Heng.
His expression was downcast, suppressing his anger, "Are you sure you want to go against me?"
"Uncle Three Emperors is joking. It is clearly Uncle Three Emperors who is against me."
"Don't toast me and you'll be fined if you don't eat!"
Jing Shi chuckled, but the silence at this moment was undoubtedly the biggest provocation to Jing Heng.
After all, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he drew the long sword of the guard on one side and put it directly on Jing Shi's neck.
"Are you sure you're not afraid of death?"
At this moment, there was no fear in Jing Shi's eyes. Instead, he chuckled, "Uncle Three Emperors, you lose."
"What?"
"After all, you are still too impatient. I just said a few words to you, so you lost your sense of proportion?"
The look in Jing Shi's eyes made Jing Heng feel frightened, "So what, the entire capital city is under my control. Even if you die, I still have a way to ascend to the throne?"
"Yeah?"
Jing Shi sneered, then stood up, looking sharp and solemn.
"King Heng Jingheng deceived the emperor, plotted against the emperor, and attempted to usurp the throne. His crime is intolerable. Come on, let me capture him."
Hearing this, Jing Heng couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, my poor nephew, are you scared and stunned? Who is your person in this imperial city at this moment? Are you still here to act as a saint? You..."
"boom..."
There was a loud noise, the door was suddenly opened, and a figure smashed straight into the hall.
Covered in blood, he was Jing Heng's bodyguard.
Jing Heng was stunned. During this gap, a hidden weapon hit Jing Heng's wrist directly.
When the sword fell, Jing Shi was rescued by a figure.
The sound of fighting outside also came in at this time.
The general came in covered in blood and said, "Your Highness, the army from outside is attacking. We can't resist it anymore. Your Highness, please retreat quickly."
"What?"
Jing Heng's eyes were filled with shock, and he was still in disbelief at this moment.
"How is that possible? The entire Shangjing is my people, where did this army come from?"
"Yes...it's the regent. He's not dead. He came back with his army, as well as the mortal king's subordinates that he had conquered before!"
Jing Heng's face turned completely black for a moment, and then he understood again.
"Fell into a trap."
When he turned back to look at Jing Shi, he was already standing tall in the wind, with the imperial guards who broke in through the window tightly protecting him behind him.
Jing Heng turned around and wanted to escape, but was surrounded by the Forbidden Army troops coming from all directions.
Then a familiar figure came walking not far away, it was Jingchen.
Outside, there were corpses everywhere and rivers of blood. Only a few guards in the palace were left to protect Jing Heng.
Jing Heng's eyes were red, filled with despair.
He lost.
Total defeat.
The long sword was pointed directly at Jingchen, his eyes filled with anger, "You are playing tricks on me, you are all playing tricks on me!"
Jing Heng is a smart man after all. Just now, he figured out the causes and consequences of everything.
The anger cannot be suppressed, but there is nothing that can be done.
"Jingchen, I really didn't expect that you played such a good move. Not only did you capture the Qianzhou Bei clan, but you also set up a trap to eliminate Jing Fan and I in one fell swoop. I think I really underestimated you, but... ..”
Jing Heng looked at Jing Shi, "With such a powerful regent, are you safe on the throne? With all the power in his hands, are you really at ease?"
When Jing Shi provoked him, not only did he not have any suspicion, he even responded with a smile.
"The Second Emperor's Uncle doesn't have your thoughts. What's more, the Second Emperor's Uncle is devoted to the people. I am also happy to give him the throne."
As soon as these words came out, Jing Heng was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
But Jing Shi did not lie.
With Jingchen's strength, if he wanted the throne, it would have been his already.
Jing Shi also said in his early years that he would give up the throne to him, but Jing Chen refused.
In addition, they share the same philosophy. On the throne, they are not only blood relatives, but also like-minded confidants.
No one can provoke it.
Jingchen and Jing Shi looked at each other and smiled, then looked at Jing Heng, "I don't want to say much else, but I want to correct you. Who said you know someone from the Qianzhou Bei clan?"
