At this moment, Cao Cao was truly heartbroken. This poem was too heart-wrenching!
This was the most painful portrait of the royal family's father and son killing each other.
As a famous scholar in the history of Yan Huang, Cao Cao's literary attainments did not need much explanation. He could see the meaning of this poem at a glance!
Cao Cao felt the pain.
His most beloved son, Cao Chong, had died. He was a child prodigy who was smarter than Cao Zhi and had the story of Cao Chong being called an elephant.
It was because Cao Cao intended to make Cao Chong his successor that Cao Chong died of an inexplicable illness!
He didn't need to think to know who did this, but he didn't dare to investigate or ask because he was afraid that the result would make his heart ache even more.
Was he going to kill his other son after he found out?
He could only cry. Who could be more miserable than the imperial family in this human tragedy?
…………
At this moment, when Li Shiming saw this poem, he roared indignantly,
"Why? It was clearly me who made eternal contributions to the Great Tang!”
"It was clearly because of my war that the Great Tang was able to establish its country!”
"But, why didn't Imperial Father pass the throne to me? Isn't he forcing me?”
"I also want a father to be kind and a son to be filial. I also want brothers to be respectful! Father, why are you so biased!”
The eunuchs and serving girls were trembling in fear. Didn't His Majesty issue an edict forbidding discussion of this matter in the palace? How could he lose his composure!
…………………………
The most miserable one was Wu Zetian.
Because this poem was written by his own son. Until now, she had already ascended the throne, but all four of his sons had died.
Really, four plucked vines returned!
"Why can't women be the supreme beings in the world?”
"Why do you have to restore the Li Tang Empire?”
"Why can't you put aside your prejudice and rules and wait for me to pass the throne to you?”
The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. Every word of this poem was like a sharp knife stabbing into her heart. Wu Zetian spat out a mouthful of blood!
Instantly, the palace was in chaos.
.................
At this moment, when Di Xin saw this poem, he felt even more pain.
After knowing this poem, he was about to face such a situation. When the melons were ripe, the seeds would leave. Once he picked them, they would be good, and then he would pick them again, making them rare!
He was like an injured tiger, roaring crazily in the primitive forest.
"Xin, what's wrong? Don't scare Daji!"
Daji rushed over and hugged Di Xin, wanting to give him some warmth. She had never seen her man, the most powerful and honorable man in the world, lose his composure and suffer so much!
Even when she was surrounded by the army, lost in the primitive forest, and bitten by a poisonous snake, she had never seen Di Xin so desperate and sad!
Daji's tears flowed down from her heart.
Di Xin's eyes turned red. He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth,"Back to Chaoge!"
Ignoring the objections of Er 'Lai and the others, he left the elites to guard the area and only brought back the old, weak, sick, and disabled. He escorted the slaves and food back to the court!
............
A month later,
At this moment.
The Battle of Muye in Yinshang had ended, and Emperor Xin had followed the path of history and retreated to Zhaoge!
Compared to the majestic palaces of the later generations, Di Xin's palace looked ancient and desolate. However, it was incomparably majestic in that era.
At this moment, the Human Emperor Di Xin was sitting on the throne with his two sons standing below him.
At this moment, Di Xin felt like he was struggling in a pot of oil. His gaze was extremely complicated, but he couldn't help but remind him,
"Zijiao, Zihong."
"The people of Zhou led the vassals to rebel. In the Battle of Muye, all the slaves I brought back defected! The survival of Yinshang is a matter of life and death!"
"I know that you are unhappy with me making Wu Geng the Crown Prince, but I hope that you will remember that you are the princes of Yinshang, the sons of me, Di Xin!”
"I've conquered a huge territory in the south. In the future, even if you can't become emperors, you can still become dukes!”
"Wu Geng is guarding Dongyi for us. We're the only ones who can trust each other in Chaoge!”
"Brothers in battle, father and son in battle!”
Di Xin looked at his two sons with adoration, hoping that they would return to the right path!
After the two of them left, Di Xin felt as if he had been drained of all his strength and collapsed on the throne.
Facing the empty hall, Di Xin's eyes were filled with pain, but he said with determination,
"I'm their father, that's why I reminded them! But if they still refuse to change, if I control them and let them go, how can I face the people of Yinshang?”
"How can we face our ancestors?"
"How can you make laws for the people?"
At this moment, Zi Jiao and Zi Hong had arrived at Wei Zi's residence. Their expressions were extremely ugly.
"Father seems to be suspecting us! What should we do?"
At this moment, Zi Hong was already a little afraid. He retreated and said,
"Brother, why don't we stop and follow father to defeat the Zhou people!”
"Didn't Father say so? He conquered the southern territory for us. Even if we can't compete with Wu Geng, the son of a slave, we can still become a vassal.”
"If we collude with the Zhou people, wouldn't we be traitors to our father?”
When Wei Zi heard Zi Hong's words, he immediately became anxious and hurriedly advised,
"How can Di Xin win now? Jiang Ziya besieged the city, Emperor Xin was headstrong, and the slaves he brought back defected, greatly increasing the enemy's strength!”
"Even a fool knows that we can't last a month!”
"When Zhaoge City falls, will the people of Zhou and the other vassals still allow you to claim the title of emperor? How will you convince the masses?"
"Jiang Ziya, you have to emphasize that he is helping you to become the emperor! However, in order to overthrow Emperor Xin's brutal rule, the vassals of the world hoped that the two princes would replace Emperor Xin and restore the previous benevolent rule!”
Hearing this, Zi Jiao's heart was burning, but he was not stupid. He asked,""Jiang Ziya will make us emperors?”
Wei Zi patted his chest and said," Have you forgotten that his surname is also Jiang? The Jiang Clan is one family in the world. Would he side with someone with the surname Ji instead of helping you?"”
"He's not like Di Xin who doesn't care about surnames!”
Wei Zi repeated the words that Jiang Ziya had given him. Finally, Zi Jiao and Zi Hong made up their minds.
"Alright, then it's better to do it sooner than later. Father is already suspicious, so we'll take action at dawn.”
"Father definitely wouldn't have thought that we would act so quickly!”
Early in the morning, the sky was slightly bright. It was the time when people were the most sleepy and their defenses were the most lax.
Zi Jiao, Zi Hong, and Wei Zi led all the theocracy nobles and the personal guards of the two princes towards the city gates.
The soldiers guarding the city stopped them." What are you doing?”
Zi Jiao took out the token and said," I'm under orders from my father to sneak attack the Zhou army camp. Open the gate quickly!"”
"Is that so? When did I ask you to ambush the Zhou people?”
At this moment, an angry voice filled with endless pain sounded from the city wall. Everyone looked up and saw Di Xin standing on the city gate!
The expressions of Zi Jiao, Zi Hong, Wei Zi, and the rest of the Godly Right nobles changed drastically.
They thought that it would be an easy task, but they didn't expect that Di Xin was already waiting for them here.
After Zi Jiao recovered from his shock, he gritted his teeth and roared,""Everyone, charge out with me!”
As long as he broke through the city gate, he would be on the road to becoming a Martial Monarch Realm expert.
"Charge!"
The theocracy nobles drew their swords and prepared to fight. Then, they ordered the soldiers behind them to charge forward together!
However, to the consternation of the two princes and the theocracy nobles, the soldiers following them did not charge forward. Instead, they pointed their swords at them and surrounded them.
"You, you eat my food and wear my clothes, but you don't listen to my orders!”
Zi Jiao and Zi Hong were furious. They had never expected that the personal guards that they had painstakingly raised would all defect!
At this moment, Er 'Lai's eyes were filled with disdain as he snorted,""You can command soldiers because you are princes! And they really thought that you were ordered to ambush the Zhou people!”
The theocracy nobles were cold. Their legs were trembling as they knelt down and begged for mercy.
Di Xin ignored them and glared at Zi Jiao and Zi Hong. He scolded,""Why? I've already reminded you. Why are you still doing this?”
Zi Jiao pointed his bronze sword at Di Xin and laughed maniacally." It's all your fault!”
"Why did you break the ancestral system? Why did you put slaves in an important position? Why did you suppress my mother's race?”
"You forced me to do this! You're a lunatic!"
