The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 734: The Plot to Assassinate the Emperor

Jiang Zhongxing threw down the bow and arrow, pushed aside the soldier beside the setup bed crossbow, and aimed at the retired emperor.

The bed crossbow was mechanically geared, with a strong destructive power, capable of firing five arrows at once, each more than a meter long. As long as it was aimed properly, shooting through the eunuchs to kill the retired emperor was not difficult.

Just as Jiang Zhongxing was taking aim, a sudden force pulled him away. The supervisor’s face was livid, "Duke of England, are you crazy? That’s the retired emperor! Do you want to commit regicide?!!!"

Jiang Zhongxing said coldly, "The retired emperor is in the palace, this one is an impostor, it is a trick of the Jin Army."

The supervisor was furious, "Duke of England, I don’t believe you can’t recognize the retired emperor, he is even your uncle, how can you be so disrespectful to the emperor! Do you intend to put the retired emperor to death?"

As they were speaking, the retired emperor had already quickly run under the cover of the Forbidden Army.

He ran into the midst of the Jin Army, beyond the range of the arrows.

Jiang Zhongxing gritted his teeth, pushed the supervisor aside, pulled the bed crossbow, and shot downwards, but several arrows only ended up stuck in the ground.

The supervisor, seeing Jiang Zhongxing acting stubbornly, suddenly snorted coldly and walked away briskly.

Jiang Zhongxing’s personal soldiers immediately said, "Sir, should we take care of that supervisor—" He made a throat-slitting gesture.

Jiang Zhongxing closed his eyes, "No need."

"There are so many people on the city wall, if he doesn’t say anything, others will. This matter can’t be concealed."

At that moment, the loudspeaker on the Jin Army’s side sounded again, "Duke of England, how dare you aim a bow and arrow at the retired emperor, your treacherous heart is clear, the retired emperor decrees, orders you to be relieved of your duties on the spot!"

"The position of Great General will be temporarily taken over by the Vice Commander!"

The soldiers on the city wall looked at each other, the retired emperor was indeed the retired emperor.

They had clearly seen just now, he was exactly the same as the one on the imperial chariot during this year’s sacrifice to heaven.

This, the retired emperor’s decree, do they obey or not?

The Vice Commander quickly ran over, standing beside Jiang Zhongxing, and shouted, "Great General, the man below is not the retired emperor."

"Our Great Chu’s ruler wouldn’t be so lacking in dignity."

"This is all a trick by the Jin Army, Great General you don’t need to worry about it."

Jiang Zhongxing remained silent, after a long while he quietly said, "No surprise, the palace will soon summon me in."

"Guard the city well, however we fought this past month, continue fighting the same way."

The Vice Commander clenched his fist, "But—"

Jiang Zhongxing waved his hand, gesturing him not to speak further.

He stood on the tower, looking at the neat Jin Army below as if they were a sculpture.

The Jin Army didn’t move either, as if they were waiting for something as well.

Jiang Zhongxing guessed correctly, not long after the supervisor left, a eunuch from the palace quickly arrived to summon him to the palace.

It was wartime now, the Emperor almost daily held court, gathering civil and military officials to discuss war matters.

Jiang Zhongxing entered the Golden Throne Hall, the Emperor at the high seat scolded, "Duke of England, how dare you, do you intend to rebel?"

Looking down at Jiang Zhongxing, he only felt exceedingly displeased.

Jiang Zhongxing had luckily defended the city for a month, now the people of the Capital City spoke highly of him, while he, the Emperor, had no presence and was not mentioned at all.

Today he dared to act against the retired emperor, in the future, he might not refrain from acting against him, how could such a person be allowed to control military power?

Jiang Zhongxing remained silent, only coldly staring at the Emperor. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The Emperor exclaimed harshly, "Immediately remove Jiang Zhongxing from the position of Great General, the role of Capital City Military Commander is also removed."

The eunuch came up immediately to take Jiang Zhongxing’s token.
