Su Dao was originally enjoying the happy time of a fatuous ruler in the Imperial Palace, but he was forcefully dragged to the throne room by a group of ministers, led by the Prime Minister.
What was strange was that his second son, the Crimson King, who had not appeared in the court for a long time, was also standing in front of the officials in a python robe.
"Your Majesty! King Zhennan was killed by the Third Prince!”
The other officials were basically summoned to the throne room by the Prime Minister.
He was still puzzled. It's not the time for the court session now, so why did he call us over?
If you really have something to say, you can just say it tomorrow morning.
But as soon as the Prime Minister threw out this sentence, the imperial court immediately became chaotic and noisy.
"I told you not to kill the Third Prince. He is the pillar of the country! Now, not only did the Third Prince harbor deep enmity towards the Dali Dynasty, but even King Zhennan had died in his hands. The Dali Dynasty had lost a great general!”
"Bullshit! The Third Prince had rebelled. Should he not kill him and keep him alive for the new year?”
"Now that we have failed to kill the Third Prince, we have lost a powerful general of Dali instead. The gains do not make up for the losses.”
"Then he should be killed."
Seeing the ministers making a fuss and saying all kinds of nonsense after the fact.
The Prime Minister waved his hand and stopped the noisy crowd.
He cupped his hands and stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, now that the three traitors have advanced to the martial grandmaster realm, what should we do?”
A Grandmaster was the foundation of a country and was enough to threaten the situation in Dali.
Putting everything else aside, if a martial grandmaster broke into the palace, it would be a huge disaster!
Just as everyone was quiet and waiting for His Majesty's decision.
Another piece of news spread into the throne room.
"Your Majesty, King Zhennan's old subordinates request to go to North City to kill the Third Prince and avenge his highness.”
King Zhennan had guarded the border for many years.
Naturally, they would not go out in full force, only bringing their most elite troops.
Most of the remaining troops were still stationed at the border.
Otherwise, if he went to suppress the rebels and was taken advantage of by outsiders, wouldn't his home be stolen?
"Your Majesty, you can't!"
The Prime Minister was the first to be unconvinced and immediately stood out.
What a joke!
At this time, if King Zhennan's old subordinates came out in full force to suppress the Third Prince...
What about the border? If the Great Qian Empress took the opportunity to attack, it would be even more troublesome.
Da Qian had been coveting Dali for a long time. If they were given a chance, a big problem would arise!
"Imperial Father, your son believes that the Prime Minister's words are reasonable.”
"If we transfer Imperial Uncle's old subordinates away now, the Great Gan will definitely take the opportunity to invade Dali.”
"The Great Gan had already cut off their trade and had the thought of fighting against us. It was just that there was no suitable opportunity.”
The Crimson King also stood out and echoed the Prime Minister's opinion.
The ministers were not stupid. They all knew the wild ambitions of Da Qian.
Even though the Emperor had fawned over the Empress of Da Qian for many years, he had never seen Da Qian show any kindness to the Li Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, Da Qian was a wolf that could not be fed!
The Great Qian Empress was the greediest of the pack of wolves, and she had great ambitions that could not be underestimated.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Great Gan has wild ambitions and has been coveting the vast land and resources of Dali for a long time.”
"We can't give Great Gan any chance. Transferring King Zhennan's old troops will undoubtedly lure Great Gan to attack.”
However, there were still some ministers who had different opinions.
He also cupped his hands and stood up to speak.
"King Zhennan died and was killed by a traitor. King Zhennan's old subordinates are not convinced. If we stop them from taking revenge now, I'm afraid they will have disloyal thoughts!”
"If we force them into a corner, what should we do if they are driven to desperation and lure Great Qian into the pass to avenge King Zhennan?”
This was a huge problem.
He was transferred from the old troops of King Zhennan. The border was unguarded and Great Gan invaded.
If he didn't transfer them, King Zhennan's old subordinates would have rebelled.
As everyone knew, in King Zhennan's fief.
His subordinates respected King Zhennan more than His Majesty and did not put His Majesty in their eyes at all.
It could be said that King Zhennan was the true emperor in their hearts, not the incompetent ruler on the dragon throne.
"There's no need to be so pessimistic. After all, the son of King Zhennan is still in the capital.”
"King Zhennan only has one son. Since his old subordinates respect King Zhennan, they definitely won't ignore the safety of the prince and raise the flag of rebellion.”
The only son of King Zhennan was still in the capital. If his old subordinates wanted to rebel, the prince would be the first to bear the brunt.
Now that King Zhennan's old subordinates had sent people to inquire about His Majesty, it was obvious that they were afraid of the prince's safety.
Otherwise, why would he do such a thing? He would have directly attacked the Third Prince and avenged his Lord!
"That makes sense. Even if King Zhennan's old subordinates wanted to rebel, they would have to worry about the prince's safety.”
"That's right. Since the prince is in the capital, I don't think King Zhennan's old subordinates will dare to act rashly.”
After understanding this point, the rest basically did not say anything.
All of them looked at His Majesty, waiting for the judgment.
The entire Dali Dynasty was in turmoil.
There are tigers and wolves watching outside, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Inside, the Third Prince had advanced to the Great Grandmaster Realm and raised the flag of rebellion, occupying the North City.
Under such internal and external troubles, King Zhennan's old subordinates naturally couldn't move. If they moved, there would be changes.
Putting aside the fact that King Zhennan's old subordinates could not suppress the Third Prince, who was at the martial grandmaster realm, they were still in the same state.
Even if they could suppress the Third Prince, the Li Dynasty could not afford the risk of the Great Gan taking advantage of the situation.
Thinking about the worst case scenario, what if King Zhennan's old subordinates lost?
That would be even more troublesome!
The Third Prince's army became more and more courageous as the battle progressed. The Great Gan would take the opportunity to attack. When that happened, they would be attacked from both sides, and the Li Dynasty would be in danger.
No matter how muddle-headed His Majesty was, he must have known the gains and losses and made a wise choice.
Seeing that the people in the hall were making a ruckus, it took them a long time to reach a consensus.
Su Mo sat on the dragon throne, feeling very bored.
Sigh! Disturbing my dreams, I thought it was something.
Of course, King Zhennan could not defeat his unfilial son. No matter what, the unfilial son was still a hot shot.
It was just that the unfilial child's cheat was not very good, but it was still a cheat. If he died so easily, it would be too useless.
"Ding! The host has activated the foolish choice."
"Option 1: Agree to transfer King Zhennan's old subordinates to suppress the rebels. [Reward: Great Qin's famous general Gongsun Qi, along with 200,000 Qin soldiers, martial arts version.]”
" Option 2: Violently kill King Zhennan's old subordinates. [Reward: Divine Dragon Power of Destruction.]
Yes! Finally, something interesting was coming.
Su Mo glanced at the noisy officials and slightly opened his mouth.
"Zhen has decided."
