Chapter 180: The Black Hand Behind King Heng
"This man is the man of the 'Prosperous Empire', and I call him 'Lord Emissary'. King Heng said unhurriedly.
Hearing the Shengshi Empire, the entire court fell into an uproar, even the emperor was shocked, and Qin Shan was also surprised.
One of the five great empires of the human world of the Shengshi Empire, the human world of the Dragon Soul Continent has five continents, namely the East Continent, the West Continent, the South Continent, the North Continent and the Heavenly Continent.
The Shengtian Dynasty where Qin Shan is located belongs to Dongzhou, and there is an empire on all five continents, although Dongzhou is the weakest continent in the five continents, the strength of the Shengshi Empire should not be underestimated, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it crushes the Shengtian Dynasty.
Now that it is the Shengshi Empire interfering in the government affairs of the Shengtian Dynasty, it is no wonder that the people in the court are so surprised.
The Emperor frowned tightly, then looked at King Heng and asked, "Does the Shengshi Empire want to support you to sit on the throne and make you their puppet?"
"No, I won't be their puppet, but I'll still give them benefits. King Heng replied truthfully.
"It seems that the Third Emperor Uncle has surrendered to the Shengshi Empire, if the sons are not mistaken, the Shengshi Empire has already moved the mind of devouring our Shengtian Dynasty, but it has not been directly expressed, but is secretly making evil. Qin Shan touched his chin and said to the emperor.
"Do you have any other plans for the messenger you spoke of?" the Emperor continued.
"I don't know about other plans. ”
Suddenly, Qin Shan asked again, "Third Emperor Uncle, is there anyone else involved in the rebellion?"
Hearing Qin Shan's question, the second prince and the prime minister He Shizhong's hearts tightened, and they silently prayed in their hearts that King Heng would not mention their names.
"All the rebels have been caught by you, and there is no one else. ”
After King Heng finished speaking, Qin Shan ordered Da to unravel the state, because everything that needed to be known was already known, and there was no need to ask about other things.
King Heng, who was relieved, looked dazed, obviously he didn't know what he had just said.
The emperor glared at King Heng coldly, and said angrily: "King Heng, you not only rebelled, but also colluded with the Shengshi Empire, without any principles at all, and rebelled, immediately dragged out and beheaded to show the public, and announced the crime to the world to set an example!"
"You wait for Lao Tzu, the Shengtian Dynasty will eventually be destroyed, even if Lao Tzu dies today, you will not be better, I will wait for you below, waiting for you to ......"
King Heng kept shouting as he was dragged out, and it was clear that he was still unwilling until now.
King Heng was pushed to the highest part of the imperial city wall and beheaded in front of all the people, and when the head fell, the people clapped their hands and applauded.
"Shan'er, the Shengshi Empire is secretly dealing with our Shengtian Dynasty, what do you think we should do next?" asked the emperor under the city wall with a frown.
"With the strength of the Shengshi Empire, crush our Shengtian Dynasty, but there is a peace agreement, they can't easily move on us, so on the bright side, they won't attack us, we only need to beware of them secretly making trouble, the most critical problem is that we need to strengthen our own strength, so the next father needs to spend a lot of money to improve the country's strength!"
Hearing Qin Shan's words, the emperor nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Qin Shan's words.
"Shan'er, you're right, it's just ...... Ahem......" Speaking of this, the emperor kept coughing, and then sighed, "It's just that my body is at the end of my life now, and I can't support it for long, so ...... Therefore, I will hand over this important task to you, and I hope that you can lead the Shengtian Dynasty to more prosperity. ”
"Father, what do you mean by this......" Qin Shan looked at the emperor with some surprise.
The emperor patted Qin Shan on the shoulder and said slowly, "After a while, I will pass on the emperor's position to you." ”
After saying that, the emperor left directly.
Looking at the emperor's somewhat rickety back, Qin Shan was speechless for a long time, his goal was the throne, but when this day was about to arrive, he felt a kind of sadness.
Although he and the emperor are not really father and son, but during this period of time, he has regarded the emperor as an elder, and he has more or less inseparable feelings, and he still has some sadness when he sees the emperor is about to die.
However, some things cannot be reversed, and the Life-Continuation Pill has no effect on the injuries on the emperor's body, even if Qin Shan has a red envelope system, he is helpless in the face of the emperor's old diseases.
"The next thing I want to do is to ascend to the throne and lead the Shengtian Dynasty further, this should be what my father wants to see the most, father, don't worry, I won't let you down. Qin Shan secretly made a decision in his heart.
......
The second prince and He Shizhong finally breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the court, they were afraid that they would be involved in King Heng's rebellion.
"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, it is fortunate that King Heng did not mention us in the court just now, otherwise we will be finished. He Shizhong said with palpitations.
"This is thanks to the prime minister for keeping the emperor still, otherwise it would have been a catastrophe! Alas...... The assassin sent out last time also failed to kill Qin Shan, after this incident, that guy's prestige is even higher, and the emperor has little chance of reversing the situation!"
"Now the crown prince's succession to the throne is almost a foregone conclusion, even if the ministers oppose it, it has no effect, for the sake of today, we can only hibernat, after all, we have another advantage, that is, many ministers in the DPRK and China are on our side. ”
"It seems that this is the only way to go. The second prince replied with a sigh.
Knock knock knock...... At this moment, there was a knock in the room where the second prince and He Shizhong were.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to visit, and he was waiting in the living room of the mansion, and the little one came to pass it on. The subordinates outside reported loudly.
"This guy actually came to this palace, what is he trying to do?" the second prince looked confused.
"The old minister also doesn't know the prince's intentions, but His Royal Highness still hurried to see him, remember, now that the prince is in full swing, don't confront him head-on, the old minister retired next, and the prince saw it bad. He Shizhong arched his hand and said.
"Okay, you go first, the emperor will go and meet him!"
Afterwards, the second prince went straight to the living room, and at a glance, he saw Qin Shan sitting on a chair and drinking tea leisurely.
"Brother Huang, it's really a rare guest, it's rare to see a royal brother come to visit, and the royal brother is flattered. The second prince arched his hand at Qin Shan and smiled.
"I just had time to come and talk to you. Qin Shan smiled slightly, and then put down the teacup in his hand, "Anyway, your tea tastes really good, and it is full of abundant spiritual power, and it can replenish true qi when you drink it." ”
"This is a high-grade 'tonic tea' specially obtained by the emperor from southern Xinjiang, and the output is extremely rare, but if the emperor likes it, the emperor will give you some. ”
Qin Shan nodded, and said without the slightest hesitation: "Okay, give this prince a hundred catties." ”
"One...... One hundred pounds ......" The second prince was dumbfounded.
