"Men, I want water!"
Having not drunk water for a long time, the emperor of Guang Dong felt his throat was about to smoke.
"Ah! The Emperor is awake! This servant will go get you some water now!"
The eunuch who was dozing off exclaimed when he saw the Emperor of Guang Dong wake up.
The other eunuchs and serving girls in Yangxin Palace were also woken up.
Everyone's face was filled with smiles, as if they had just survived a disaster.
They were all eunuchs and palace maids of the emperor of Guang Yue. If the emperor of Guang Yue passed away, would they have a good ending? There was a high chance that he would be buried with the Emperor of Guang Yue!
"Quick, quickly report this to the Empress Dowager!" Some eunuchs hurriedly went to Chuxiu Palace to report.
After drinking a cup of water and being served by the eunuchs and serving girls, the emperor felt much better.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager of the West, escorted by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, once again arrived at Yangxin Palace Hall.
"Greetings, Empress Dowager!" The eunuchs and serving girls in the room knelt on the ground.
The Emperor of Guang Dong was no exception. He quickly knelt down and greeted the Empress Dowager.
"Your son greets your father!"
The Empress Dowager was clearly a woman, but her desire for power was extremely great.
In order to please her, the emperor had no choice but to call her father.
However, the Emperor of Guang Dong had already changed his soul. He felt disgusted to hear such words.
However, for the sake of his own life, he had no choice but to do so.
If the Empress Dowager of the West were to see through anything and kill him, he would be dead for sure.
Even if he was the Emperor, the Empress Dowager of the West was in power now. Killing him was no more difficult than crushing an ant.
"Emperor, are you feeling better?”Empress Dowager Xi asked.
"Father, your son is much better. Thank you for your father's worry, your son really deserves to die!”The emperor lowered his head, looking as cowardly as ever.
The Empress Dowager nodded her head in satisfaction. Although the Emperor of Guang Zhen was not dead, her plan to change her to a more obedient little emperor had failed. However, she was very satisfied with how submissive the emperor was.
"Emperor, you should rest for a while if your health is not good. Aijia will handle the matters of the court!”Empress Dowager Xi said directly.
"Your son obeys!" the emperor replied quickly.
Damn, the Empress Dowager of the West was obviously using this opportunity to get rid of the Emperor of Guang Dong and monopolize power!
Previously, when the Emperor of Guang Dong was a puppet and the Empress Dowager of the West was in charge of the government, there was still a layer of cover. But now, Empress Dowager Xi didn't even want this layer of cover.
However, the Emperor of Guang Dong had no room to resist.
Most of the officials in the court were the followers of the Empress Dowager.
If the Emperor of Guang Dong dared to resist, the Empress Dowager of the West could kill him in minutes and then replace him with an obedient Emperor.
For the sake of his own life, the emperor could only pretend to be a grandson.
Only by doing so could they survive, and only by surviving could they have a chance.
At the same time, the Emperor was even more determined to kill the Empress Dowager.
If he didn't kill the Empress Dowager, his fate would be very miserable. Moreover, he would never have the chance to control the country again. He could only watch helplessly as the Empress Dowager of the West continued to destroy the country. In the end, he could actually say shameless words such as "I would rather be with a friendly country than a servant" and "measure the material resources of the Ming Dynasty to win the favor of a friendly country".
The tragic fate of the Ming Empire and even the entire Yan Huang Nation could not be changed.
A large amount of wealth would be squandered by the Empress Dowager and her followers, causing the Ming Empire to become weaker and weaker, and be bullied by the East and West.
It had to be known that the construction of Summer Palace alone had cost a total of 30 million taels of silver.
In this era, the Ming Empire's annual revenue was only eighty million taels of silver!
Moreover, the 30 million taels of silver was used to build the Summer Palace in the name of raising funds for the navy.
In this era, thirty million taels of silver was a huge sum! It was equivalent to more than seven million pounds. As for purchasing the Dingyuan Ship and the Zhenyuan Ship, he only spent a total of 2.82 million silver.
In other words, the money spent on the Summer Palace was enough to buy more than twenty Dingyuan warships.
Although the Dingyuan and Zhenyuan warships were already lagging behind the times, they were not as powerful as before. However, if this money was used to buy or build other warships, the strength of the Ming Navy would definitely soar, and the Japanese would not be beaten to a pulp. They would not have to sign a humiliating treaty to cede territory and pay compensation. It was even more impossible for the Eastern Empire to rise up quickly and become a huge threat to the Ancient Eastern Kingdom. It caused the entire Ancient Eastern Kingdom and the Yan Huang Race to suffer an extremely humiliating history.
If the Emperor of Guang Zhen could grasp the power, perhaps the Ming Empire would be able to carry out reforms according to his ideas, gradually letting this decaying empire glow with vitality and become bigger.
Perhaps, he could avoid the fate of being divided by the superpowers and even participate in the division of the world.
In this era, the world was undergoing an unprecedented transformation.
Powerful countries would collapse one after another, and new powerful countries would dominate the world.
If the Ming Empire could rise at this time, it could completely become a world-class power. It was even possible for him to dominate the entire world.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the Empress Dowager of the West and the others could not continue to damage the vitality of the Ming Empire.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Xi had to die!
