Murdering His Highness the King of Shu, The Dream of the Eternal Emperor Disappeared Forever!
"Crazy! You're all crazy!"
"Do you know what you are doing? You killed the eunuch who issued the decree. This is disobedience. This is rebellion. Your entire family will be executed. Are you all crazy?？”
Zhangsun Chong pointed at Chu Suiliang and Su Dingfang and shouted in shock.
All of this was completely different from what he had expected.
Before he came to Yizhou, he thought that Li Ke's old subordinates should all wag their tails and beg him for a way out. Then, he would be like a master. With a wave of his hand, they would become his most loyal dogs and help him create traps. He would wait for Li Ke to jump into the trap and make a great contribution before returning to Chang 'an to marry the princess.
But who would have thought that the result would be like this?
These lowlifes, these lowly people, actually dared to disobey him, actually dared to disobey the current emperor. These people were really crazy.
Facing Zhangsun Chong's shocked roar, Su Dingfang did not even look at him. He just waved his hand outside and said calmly,""Kill them!"
The soldiers of the Governor's Office did not hesitate at all as they charged at the guards brought by Zhangsun Chong.
In an instant, a murderous roar resounded in the courtyard.
Not long after, the screams and screams stopped.
Zhangsun Chong was horrified to find that the personal guards he had brought with him were all lying in a mess in the courtyard, in a pool of blood.
All of this made his heart tremble. He was no longer as arrogant and despotic as before.
"You, you really want to rebel? Rebellion with that Li Ke? Do you know that His Majesty has already ordered the elimination of Li Ke? If you follow Li Ke now, you will definitely die!”
Zhangsun Chong took two steps back and shouted at Chu Suiliang and Su Dingfang with a fierce look on his face.
When Chu Suiliang heard this, he only chuckled. He was dressed in a shirt and his face was filled with a peaceful smile. He said,"Thank you for your reminder, Lord Zhangsun. However, His Highness has shown us kindness and is our second parent. Therefore, even if we die, we are willing to walk in front of His Highness and die for His Highness.”
"As for what you said about us following His Highness, I'm sorry, but I don't agree.”
Chu Suiliang folded his sleeves, his expression still very calm. It was as if killing the imperial court's emissary was nothing more than squashing a few ants to him.
" It's true that His Highness was forced into a corner by all of you," he continued." That's why he chose this path. However, it doesn't mean that this path is a dead end."”
"You don't understand His Highness at all, so you don't know how astonishing His Highness 'intelligence is. You don't understand how you forced a prince who could make the Great Tang countless times richer and stronger to stand against you.”
Chu Suiliang's eyes suddenly revealed a hint of disappointment. He looked at Zhangsun Chong and said,""To tell the truth, I am extremely disappointed in the Imperial Court, His Majesty, and the civil and military officials. Your vision is truly too narrow, and His Majesty's vision is even more short-sighted. He has no idea that he has lost his only chance to become the one emperor in history, nor does he know…how much regret his decision will bring him.”
"However, this is good and even better. Rather than letting such a short-sighted person become Emperor and lead the Great Tang to its end, it would be better for His Highness to create a new era and truly lead the Great Tang to unprecedented prosperity.”
"So when I think about it this way, I still have to thank you for your stupidity and shortsightedness. I have to thank you for bringing a new lease of life to the Great Tang.”
After Chu Suiliang finished speaking, he no longer looked at Zhangsun Chong. In his eyes, Zhangsun Chong could not be compared to Zhangsun Wuji and the others. This was a silkpants. Playing tricks with him was simply an insult to himself.
He waved his hand and said lightly,"Take him away and keep him under close watch."”
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, soldiers rushed in and carried the terrified Zhangsun Chong out.
"Your Majesty…is more heartless than I thought. Your Highness won't be in danger, right?" Su Dingfang said.”
Chu Suiliang shook his head. He looked at the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield outside and said slowly,"" Before Your Highness left, I had carefully calculated everything that might happen after Your Highness returned to Chang 'an, both good and bad, as well as the countermeasures after it happened.”
"Although the entire court wanting to kill Your Highness is indeed a little too sudden, it is still within Your Highness's speculation. Now that Your Highness has escaped from prison, it means that Your Highness is already completely confident, so we don't have to worry about Your Highness.”
" What I'm worried about now…"
Chu Suiliang furrowed his brows and a solemn expression flashed across his face. He said,""I'm worried that if we really start a war with the Imperial Court, our current power will still be too weak.”
"After a year of planning, Your Highness has only managed to prepare fifty thousand elite soldiers. This is all the military equipment that our Yizhou has. Although we can rely on the natural barriers and fifty thousand troops to protect ourselves, it is insufficient to leave Yizhou and even start a war with the Imperial Court.”
Su Dingfang was the highest commander of the Yi Army. These fifty thousand elite soldiers were under his control, so he understood what Chu Suiliang meant.
He thought for a moment and said,"Why don't we recruit again?" He believed that with His Highness's influence, he would be able to prepare another 50,000 soldiers.”
Chu Suiliang shook his head." There has to be a ratio between the number of civilians and the number of soldiers. If we exceed this ratio, it will lead to a huge problem. 50,000 soldiers is already the limit of our current population. We can't continue to recruit soldiers.”
"So, population is a big problem…"
He raised his head and looked at the dark clouds in the sky. He recalled Li Ke's words before he left and suddenly said,"Perhaps, Your Highness will give us a surprise.”
"Surprise?" Su Dingfang looked at Chu Suiliang in confusion.
Chu Suiliang tightened his sleeves and said,"" When His Highness left, he said that he wasn't afraid of the small number of people in Yizhou, but he was afraid that Yizhou's territory couldn't accommodate so many people…At that time, I didn't think too much about it and thought that His Highness was just joking, but now…"
"Perhaps, Your Highness already had a premonition. If that's the case, perhaps the population…will no longer be a restriction to Yizhou.”
"If that's the case…"
Chu Suiliang let out a breath of turbid air and suddenly smiled."Something big is about to happen!"
