Chapter 135 My sins are serious
"Your Majesty the Emperor." Shen Ning smiled slightly, but the smile was filled with a biting coldness, "I have admired you for a long time."
Yan Yunshuo pursed his thin lips and stared at Shen Ning with his eyes.
Although the woman in front of him was very strange, he always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
This sense of familiarity made his heart palpitate, and he couldn't help but ask urgently: "Who are you?"
"Princess Regent of Yong Kingdom, Shen Ning." Shen Ning said calmly, "What else does the Emperor want to know?"
There was suspicion in Yan Yunshuo's eyes: "The Princess Regent showed up in person to lead the troops in battle?"
"What's wrong?" Outside the hall, a man slowly walked in. He was tall and thin, with a strong aura. He exuded a noble and impressive sense of oppression. "My princess can not only show her face and lead troops in battle, but also I want to ascend the throne as the emperor in the territory she conquered and become the first daughter of Nan Zhao. Does His Majesty the Emperor have any advice?"
Yan Yunshuo suddenly raised his eyes and his eyes fell on Ji Yucang's handsome and cold face. He clenched his hands involuntarily and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Empress.
What do they mean?
The Prince Regent and the Princess Regent.
If they really have such great ambitions, it is obviously more reasonable for the regent to be the emperor. Why the regent princess?
How could a woman who lives her life dependent on a man bypass her husband and directly become the emperor?
Yan Yunshuo clenched his hands. This was completely unreasonable.
"Prince Regent, Nan Zhao sent envoys to the Yong Kingdom for help, but the Yong Kingdom took advantage of the crisis to destroy our country. Your behavior is completely unethical!" The old prime minister was heartbroken, "The Yong Kingdom is a powerful country, and it should be more important. To maintain the peace of all countries in the world, you...you instead raise armies to attack other countries without any reason. How is this different from banditry?"
Ji Yucang glanced at him: "Nan Zhao has been conquered. You, a prisoner of this rank, don't even think about begging for mercy. How dare you stand here and reason with me? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
The old prime minister said angrily: "You start a battlefield, you are the sinners of Nan Zhao!"
"Emperor Nan Zhao is so stupid and incompetent that he can't even defend his own country. The people standing in the court are also a bunch of losers who can only talk and shout." Ji Yucang sneered, "Is it possible that this old man thinks that he can only protect his family and his country with one thing? Open your mouth?"
Yan Yunshuo stood proudly in the palace. Although he had become the king of the country, he did not want to show weakness: "I am indeed incompetent and cannot protect my country and people. I have sinned deeply and I should apologize to my ancestors."
"I heard that Nan Zhao once gave birth to a war-god eldest princess." Ji Yucang took a few steps forward and stood not far from Yan Yunshuo. "I have admired her for many years. I once thought of Nan Zhao proposing marriage and establishing a marriage agreement between the two countries. We have been friends forever, but unfortunately I heard the news that she has passed away. Can the emperor tell me that she was a good eldest princess and she was still intact for seven years on the battlefield, so why did she die in just two years after returning to the capital? Died by whose hands?"
Yan Yunshuo's face turned pale and his thin lips were pursed tightly.
There seemed to be a woman in red sitting on a horse in front of her, so bright and dazzling, so unruly and flying, like a pearl.
If she were still here, Nan Zhao would not destroy the country so quickly. Even if she risked her life, she would keep Nan Zhao's territory intact and the country stable.
Yan Yunshuo suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and an emotion called regret rolled and fermented in his chest. At this moment, he truly realized that he had done something wrong.
In the past, he felt that the stability of his throne was the most important. The imperial power could not be threatened. As long as anyone threatened the imperial power or made him feel the crisis, he would not be able to tolerate it.
I would rather kill by mistake than let him go.
But now he understands that the threat that the imperial power can feel is the foundation of the country's strength. If even the threat is gone, who can he rely on to protect his throne, his huge territory, and his thousands of people?
With his country destroyed and his family destroyed, he could no longer even feel the threat, only the despair of being helpless and the humiliation of being slaughtered.
Yan Yunshuo suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart and looked at Ji Yucang for a moment: "I don't understand what the regent means."
"Don't understand?" Ji Yucang stepped forward, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he punched him in the abdomen, "I will let you know today."
The pain came unexpectedly.
Yan Yunshuo's vision went dark, his face instantly turned pale, and cold sweat trickled out of his forehead. His face was almost twisted in pain, and he curled up on the ground holding his abdomen in pain.
I couldn't make a sound for a long while.
Ji Yucang just looked at him like this, looking down at him condescendingly, as if looking down at a dying ant.
