Chapter 137 You die, I live! (1)
In front of emperor Jinghui’s palace, the two parties stared at each other and only waited for and order to take action.
Lin Qing swept once over the opponent’s men, sighed and said to Situ Yaohua who was standing opposite of him, “Your Highness the crown prince, do you know who is sleeping inside of this palace? It is your emperor father, the monarch of Great Liang. You brough so many men and forced your way to your emperor father’s palace to punish the evildoer and act in the stead of heaven, but did His Majesty agree to this? Or is it that you think that you already can replace His Majesty and do anything? Acting in this way is a revolt and forcing the emperor to abdicate!”
Lin Qing glanced once at some of the officials who suddenly looked a bit disturbed and said, “My lords, before you decide to act, you must think about who can call the shots in Great Liang! And whether the consequences of doing this is something that you can bear!”
Lin Qing said that coldly and slowly. Most of the people who followed Situ Yaohua and rushed to here were shallow-sighted and ambitious people. They were blinded by their interests and didn’t think about the consequences of failure and whether Situ Yaohua could protect them.
Among those who came here, Lin Qing did not discover important officials like Lin Xian. These old foxes would always hide behind and scheme secretly. They will never allow themselves to be where the wind and waves were the fiercest.
That Situ Yaohua could come to this point today was absolutely indispensable of their credit, but these old foxes would never fight in person. They were not so stupid enough.
He shook his head and slowly placed one hand on his heart. Then, he turned his gaze to Situ Yaohua, stared mockingly at him and said, “Your Highness, I have said everything that I wanted to say.”
What Lin Qing meant was that if you want to take action, then just do it.
Both Situ Yaohua and Lin Qing knew that their current relationship has reached to the point where it wouldn’t end if one wasn’t dead.
If Lin Qing didn’t scheme against Situ Yaohua, then, what he wanted would never be achieved. And if Situ Yaohua doesn’t kill Lin Qing, then the one who would be eliminated would be him. So, one of them must fall now.
“Lin Qing, don’t mislead the public anymore. Everything that this crown prince does is with a clear conscience. Don’t think about stirring up public sentiments with false statements!” Situ Yaohua shouted very majestically.
With a gesture from Situ Yaohua, the battle finally broke out.
The sounds of swords, firearms and shouts mixed together. Yue Yi and the others guarded Lin Qing, preventing anyone from approaching him.
Lin Qing casually watched the fight in front of the palace gate. His gaze was faintly discernible. He had no chance of winning this battle. No, he couldn’t win this battle.
Why?
Just because Situ Yaohua is the crown prince of Great Liang. No one except for emperor Jinghui was qualified to deal with him. If he wins, then what should he do with Situ Yaohua?
Kill?
If so, even if emperor Jinghui wakes up, he wouldn’t keep Lin Qing alive. Situ Yaohua was the crown prince after all. How could he be killed by a eunuch? So, not to mention that the officials wouldn’t tolerate him, even emperor Jinghui would also choose to kill him.
Keep him (SY) alive? That was also impossible. As long as Situ Yaohua was alive, the officials wouldn’t be at peace. If Situ Yaohua is able to escape, the matter of today would probably repeat again. So, this was not a good choice either.
It was not that Lin Qing had never thought of getting rid of Situ Yaohua in the name of the eighth prince, but eight prince’s influence was unable to convince the masses yet. This matter could also not be deceived. It was Lin Qing who did it, then Lin Qing did it. He would still be unable to escape if emperor Jinghui wakes up. And if emperor Jinghui doesn’t wake up, then the world would be in chaos.
After all, emperor Jinghui didn’t leave only one son Situ Yuxuan. When the princes compete for the throne, no one could predict in whose hands it would fall.
Hence, he could only lose.
Lin Qing had already secretly drawn out most of the power of the Prefecture of Arrest. If that hadn’t been the case, even if Situ Yaohua was very able, he wouldn’t be able to force Lin Qing to come out so soon.
But Lin Qing was unreconciled!
He wasn’t able to wait for the person he waited for. So, he had to survive even if it was surviving like a dog.
Blood, only blood entered his eyes. the soldiers of Great Liang fell down one after another under the intern strife of the upper class. They didn’t die on the battlefield defending their homes and country. Instead, they died because of the fighting between major people.
How innocent and how sad.
Seeing Situ Yaohua who personally rushed forward to kill him, Lin Qing couldn’t help from laughing. Was it very mighty, very heroic?
Hahaha!
And because of Situ Yaohua’s joining, the people of the crown prince’s fraction became more excited as if what they were doing was doing it in the heaven’s stead and eliminating the harms for the country. The confidence in their hearts seemed to suddenly rose and the righteous faces looked even more ugly. However, those who fell under the sword of Situ Yaohua were all loyal to Situ household.
This was really a distorted, ridiculous and merciless fight!
And all of this stemmed from his selfishness and Situ Yaohua’s ambition. But no matter what kind of feelings were in their hearts, he and Situ Yaohua wouldn’t regret it because this was the inevitable and no one could stop it!
“Lord Qiansui…,” Yue Yi said worriedly. “You better leave just in case the crown prince…”
