Chapter 121: The Inferior is but Dust

Benjamin was full of questions about trials at this time, and even if he obtained this so-called divine body, he didn't bother to experience it, let alone the concept of the kingdom of God, which was still far away from him.

After absorbing the artifact skull, although the artifact is gone, the artifact spirit Zhuo still exists, because he signed a contract with Benjamin, and the skull has been completely absorbed by Benjamin, Zhuo is now attached to Benjamin. Benjamin put these things aside for a while and left the temple, and when he came out, Benjamin found that the whole temple seemed to have disappeared and could no longer be seen.

After coming out of the temple, Benjamin was hesitating whether to return to the Imperial City when he heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves, and then he watched a fast horse running in his direction. As he got closer, Benjamin saw Ran sitting on horseback:

"Your Highness, there is a rebellion in the Imperial City!" Xiaolan still did not change her name for Benjamin, she had always shouted like this, Benjamin would not care about this little problem.

"What's going on?" Benjamin was a little surprised, obviously surprised when he first heard the news, but he quickly reacted, and he didn't know how long he had been gone, so he asked, "When is the matter, is the situation serious?"

"It happened last night, our sisters looked for you for a day and didn't find it, now there is chaos in the imperial city, the rebels have blocked the city gates, not allowing the people to leave the city, the defense of the imperial palace has not been breached when I left, but now a day has passed, I'm afraid it can't be sustained, maybe it has fallen. Xiaolan said breathlessly.

"Go back. Benjamin immediately stopped hesitating, jumped on the horse's back and said to Xiaolan.

......

Soon the two of them came to the woods near the imperial city, and a figure came out and asked in a low voice:

"Who?"

"It's me, sister?" Xiaolan didn't seem surprised by the person who suddenly popped up, as if she had already known about it.

"It's back. After the visitor saw that it was Xiaolan, he turned around and hid his figure again.

Xiaolan nodded, and walked with Benjamin to the depths of the woods, and came to a cave, at this time it was already evening outside, the sky had already darkened, and the cave was brightly lit. As soon as he entered the cave, Benjamin saw Xiaolan's three sisters, Mei, Zhu, and Ju, as well as a group of masked people dressed in black. After everyone saw Benjamin behind Xiaolan, they were slightly stunned at first, and then they all quickly reacted, and said in unison:

"Your Highness. ”

Benjamin already knew that these people were completely loyal to "himself", the prince, and that they were a force that he had secretly cultivated since he was a child, and except for a small number of strategists, the rest were strange people who were snare from the people.

Benjamin nodded slightly to everyone and asked, "What is the situation in the Imperial City now?"

"Your Highness," Xiaomei, the eldest sister of the four sisters, said, "The Imperial City's guard battalion has been lost, except for a small number of surrenders, the rest have been killed, the Imperial City is now completely controlled by the rebels, the secret passage of the Imperial Palace has fallen to the Broken Dragon Stone, and the ministers loyal to you have been brought out by us, and now they are on the way, they should be almost there......"

"Your Majesty," Xiaomei's words had not yet fallen, and an old voice came from outside the cave, Lord Zaifu, who was already a veteran of the Three Dynasties, was crying with grief and anger at this time: "Your Majesty, the old minister is ashamed of the emperor, ashamed of Your Majesty......" As he spoke, he had already come to Benjamin's face, knelt down, and the whole person fell to the ground trembling uncontrollably.

Benjamin hurriedly helped the old man up and persuaded him: "Lord Zaifu, you don't have to be like this, it's not your fault, it's all the work of these rebels, you got up first, ......" After speaking, Benjamin helped the old man up. The four or five ministers who came with the boss were all red-eyed at this time, and looked at Benjamin with shame.

After Benjamin helped the old man up, he turned to Xiaomei and said, "You can go on." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Xiaomei saluted and said, "Judging from the news that the spies got just now, after learning that the imperial city was attacked, the people of the imperial city also spontaneously organized to resist the rebels, and finally they were controlled by the rebels, and several leaders who organized the defense were captured, and now they are tied up in the middle of the market, and notices are posted everywhere. Xiaomei stopped talking at this point, but looked at Benjamin with an obvious look of wanting to say something.

"Notice, what notice? Anmin notice?" Benjamin looked at Xiaomei with some puzzlement, is there anything bad about this?

"Your Highness, Notice ......"

"Say, it's fine. Benjamin waved his hand and motioned for Mei to speak.

"Yes," Xiaomei said with an open look: "The notice says that if you want to save the lives of these people, you must go to the palace in person, unlock the secret path, and announce to the world to abdicate and give the throne to your brother, and also issue an edict to declare that you are a heinous sinner who has stolen the throne and is heinous......"

"Presumptuous!" Before Benjamin could speak, Zaifu first became furious, "Your Majesty, you must not do this. ”

Benjamin didn't speak, but nodded to the old man to show that he understood, and then turned to look at the other minister, the one he had told him to talk to his brother before.

The minister knew what Benjamin meant when he saw him looking at him, but at the moment he nodded helplessly, shook his head, and then lowered his head and did not dare to look again.

Benjamin knew what the minister meant, which meant that his brother agreed with his idea, but he refused to accept his conditions, which made Benjamin wonder a little, why is this? But now that so many people were present, Benjamin was inconvenient to ask, so he frowned slightly, and said, "Everyone, let's go and rest first." ”

When Xiao Ju heard Benjamin's words, she said to everyone, "Please come here with me." ”

After the group had left, Benjamin came to a place with the minister and asked in a low voice:

"Why won't my brother accept it?"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the eldest son said that he had already known the arrangements of the first emperor, and he was not dissatisfied in his heart, on the contrary, he felt that the arrangements of the first emperor were indeed the most correct, and His Royal Highness the eldest son also knew that he was not suitable to inherit the throne, so he was willing to garrison the border for His Majesty to prevent other countries from attacking. As for the leading role of this conspiracy, His Royal Highness the eldest son also thought that it would be His Royal Highness the Prince, but there was no evidence, His Royal Highness the Prince had already lived in seclusion ten years ago, so His Royal Highness the eldest son had a plan for me to present to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to decide. With that, the minister took out a sealed book from his bosom and handed it to Benjamin.

After Benjamin took it, he understood his brother's thoughts, this sudden rebellion is the first step of the plan, no matter what arrangements the person behind him has before, at this time, he will also be disrupted by this sudden rebellion, and then wait for Benjamin to announce his abdication and prepare to give way to his brother, the mastermind behind this is ten** will not be able to hold back and jump out, and I am afraid that I will use the excuse of King Qin to deal with the eldest son's side, so that I can send troops in a clear and straightforward manner, and I am afraid that the result will not be what everyone wants to see, and it is estimated that Benjamin and the eldest son will be worried about their lives.

Looking at his brother's arrangement, Benjamin laughed knowingly, his brother really only knows how to move forward and not know how to retreat, even if he encounters such a conspiracy, he must proceed at his own pace, without thinking too much, just say that the current situation, regardless of the effect of the "rebellion" in the imperial city, provokes a civil uprising without scruples, and is forcibly suppressed. Now that things have gone to this extent, although the escort battalion is not as lost as Xiaomei said, there will still be some sacrifices that are not necessary in the first place, this is the character of his brother, he would rather take it from the straight than from the song.

Benjamin was a little helpless, according to his brother's letter, the life and death of these people seemed to be just trivial matters to the overall situation, but were those really insignificant? Maybe this was just a play in his own opinion, a play performed to expose the people behind the scenes, but for these people it was so real, so real that even their own lives were lost, and some people were still paying for their lives without scruples, is it really as his brother said in his letter?

"Those who are inferior are nothing but dust......"

Benjamin couldn't let go of it for a long time, but at this moment things had developed to this point, and Benjamin couldn't object anymore, but the sting in his heart could not dissipate, and it seemed that those cruel scenes were being staged in front of him, the man covered in blood fell to the ground, next to him was a weeping woman and a toddler waiting to be fed, and not far away there was an old child with silver hair, trembling and sobbing, and the house behind him was on fire, and the smoke was billowing into the sky......

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......" The minister hurriedly called Benjamin when he saw that he was a little distracted.

"Oh, it's fine. Benjamin came back to his senses, but it seemed that there were screams and cries in his ears, which made Benjamin's mind a little confused for a while, and he waved his hand a little irritably, and said, "You stand down first." ”

"Yes. The minister saw that Benjamin's face was ugly, and did not dare to delay in turning around and walking towards the place where the others were resting, but at the moment of turning around, he showed a slight strange smile......

PS. From next month, the little brother will step up the supplement, and make up all the arrears during this time, these days are dealing with the trivial matters at hand, please forgive me every day, and thank you for your support. Another small ask for a collection, recommended, thank you!
