In the past few years, the power of the emperor had reached its peak in Beichen. In front of the emperor, the officials were as obedient as puppies.
Upon hearing the scandal of the royal family and seeing their king kill in anger and embarrassment, the other lords in the royal study were all frightened. They groaned inwardly and felt lucky that they weren't the only ones in the royal study, otherwise …
Similarly, they did not give Emperor Beichen the chance to stop them either. The few officials quickly retreated, as for the corpse at their feet, they pretended not to see anything.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was afraid of the justice court's death, he would definitely have killed the justice court's official.
The justice courts still did not know that the eunuch who delivered the message for him had died. They only thought that Emperor Beichen was unhappy about what had happened at Under Heaven Restaurant.
At first, Emperor Beichen seriously glanced at it, but when he clearly saw the contents, he did not put it to heart: "What kind of nonsense is this, this kind of thing that is randomly written and randomly spread, you brought it into the palace?"
Other than the fact that he killed his father, there was nothing written on it that was true. This sort of thing … There was no need to be serious. The more genuine someone was, the more they would take it seriously.
"Your Majesty … When this subject entered the palace, the two imperial concubines were at Under Heaven Tower. " The justice court officials did not want to take this seriously either, but what about those two palace concubines?
This was the Empress of the palace. If something had not happened, it would have been impossible for them to leave the palace.
"What did you say?" Emperor Beichen stood up in shock, his eyes opened wide in disbelief, "You said that the two imperial concubines are at the Under Heaven Tower?" This was absolutely impossible!
The justice court officials repeatedly nodded their heads, "The two emperors are not only at the Pavilion of the Under Heaven, but their mama at their side also said, she also said …"
"Say what?" Not only did the Beichen Emperor kill someone, he even wanted to eat them.
Needless to say, it was definitely Xiao Jiu'an, that bastard's doing this.
No one else could fool him under his nose.
"Saying that they risked their lives to protect the late emperor's bloodline, now that His Majesty knows the truth and wants to silence them, they have no choice but to live in the World's Tower and ask it to protect their safety, and also saying that …"
"What else?" Emperor Beichen pressed down hard on his chest.
He was afraid that he would be unable to hold back from vomiting more blood.
The justice court officials seemed to be able to foresee his death, but he still had to say that the commoners outside knew about this matter. If he didn't report it to His Majesty, His Majesty would definitely kill his entire family.
"Still saying... He even said that if the two emperors were to die, it would be His Majesty who would kill them. " After the justice court official finished speaking, he laid motionless on the ground.
Although there were many people in Beichen that knew about this, as the first person to know about it, who was unable to seal the news in time, was there still a way to survive?
"So you're saying... Third Bro and Fifth Bro are really the sons of those old fogeys? " Emperor Beichen fiercely swallowed the blood down his throat.
"This humble subject does not know." The Supreme Court was trembling from head to toe. Even though he knew that he was going to die, he was still afraid.
How could he dare to question the scandal of the royal family?
"Investigate, investigate for us!" Emperor Beichen glared at the Supreme Court and roared.
"Yes, yes. This official will go investigate." The justice court's official's eyes were instantly filled with hope for life as he scrambled to his feet and ran out of the door as fast as he could. However, he did not expect that he would be caught off guard and tripped on the doorstep …
"Ahh …" The justice court's official fell to the ground. With a blood-curdling scream, his neck made a cracking sound, breaking into a right angle and losing all its breath.
Upon seeing this, the guards standing outside all stared wide-eyed, looking at the Grand Court Master who had died such a miserable death, then looking towards the Emperor Beichen who was inside the hall at the same time …
"Pfft …" In the end, Emperor Beichen could not hold it in and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Not good, not good! His Majesty has fainted." When the guard heard the sound of something falling on the ground, he immediately ran in and called for the imperial physician to diagnose Emperor Beichen's illness.
Emperor Beichen was only so angry in his heart that he vomited blood. He must have been injured, but his life was not in danger.
Beichen lost his best time.
The matter of Emperor Beichen murdering his father and seizing the throne, the officials of the imperial court all knew about it. Third Prince and Fifth Prince were not the sons of Emperor Beichen, but rather the younger brothers. The news had spread out of the city in the blink of an eye and was sent to the Third Prince and Fifth Prince who were thousands of miles away.
The two princes had no idea of their own background, and were completely stupefied when they received the news. At first, they thought that it was false news, but when their mufei delivered the remnants of the previous emperor to them, they could only accept reality.
After knowing their real identities, he knew that even if they had no intention to fight with Emperor Beichen, with Emperor Beichen's character, he would definitely not let them off.
Fortunately, the two of them weren't bald-headed princes. They both had military power, so they weren't afraid of anyone. The two combined forces into one, occupying the land as a king, and using orthodoxy to call themselves orthodox.
Beichen had just given the order to recall the two, and the news had only spread halfway when he received the news of the two claiming the title of emperor. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood again.
Misfortunes go hand in hand, fortune never ends. On the day the news of the Third and Fifth Princes being kings spread throughout the capital, their mother's concubine died. She was killed with a single sword strike and died in the pavilion.
Although the officials had announced that they had found the culprit on the second day, the entire Beichen, from the nobles to the common folk, did not believe that the culprit was the double. The real culprit who killed the two imperial concubines was Emperor Beichen.
It was difficult to tell when Emperor Beichen was speaking, but the looks the ministers of the imperial court were looking at him differently. Although they were still respectful on the surface, they had their own plans.
The civil war that Beichen had lived through for dozens of years had now begun. As for the ones behind the scenes, including the Duke and Mo Qixi, they had concealed their skills and reputation, and took advantage of Beichen's chaos to leave Beichen …
