Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

Chapter 1263: Regicide and Father Killing!

"Father, what are you still hesitating about?"

The Imperial Palace, inside the rear hall.

The Jin Emperor was pacing around with a solemn expression on his face, while the Second Prince Ji Yingjie, who was standing in the hall, urged anxiously:

"This is our dynasty's chance. If we don't agree, we may never get the Qin city again."

"If our dynasty helps him defeat the State of Chu this time, he will definitely not care about just ten cities."

"After all, the Chu Kingdom is so vast. It is impossible for him to turn against our dynasty just for four cities!"

"On the contrary, it was Chu Ning who actually wanted me to send troops to our country with just a mask formula. He clearly had no sincerity at all."

Faced with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Ji Yingjie couldn't help himself.

After the court was dismissed, he took the initiative to find the Emperor of Jin.

This matter is of great importance. Currently, both Qin and Chu are mobilizing their troops. The decisive battle may take place after the Lantern Festival, which is only about a month away!

If the State of Jin still hesitates, their troops will not be able to gather and will not be able to participate in this shocking battle.

Therefore, he must persuade his father to send troops as soon as possible!

But the Jin Emperor was entangled and said, "Chu Ning is not someone you can easily mess with. If Chu wins this battle, he will definitely attack us because we have supported Qin!"

"Please allow me to think about this for a few more days."

"Still considering it?"

Ji Yingjie's eyes widened, revealing a look of disappointment: "Father, what on earth are you thinking about?"

"Don't you know that time is precious? Once you miss it, our dynasty will not be able to participate in this war."

How dare a prince speak to the emperor like this?

Even though the Jin Emperor was weak in character, his face darkened at this moment. He turned around and stared at Ji Yingjie:

"Why, are you questioning my decision?"

"I am the master of Jin State. It is not your turn to make irresponsible remarks. Get out of here immediately!"

The usually amiable Emperor Jin was rarely angry.

He wanted to think quietly about how to deal with the situation, but the Second Prince kept pestering him, making him upset.

In order to prevent Ji Yingjie from continuing to pester him, he could only scold him and ask him to leave first.

This was the first time Ji Yingjie was scolded by his father, and the anger in his heart instantly rushed to his head.

"Father, this is your own decision, please don't regret it!"

As Ji Yingjie spoke, his aura exploded and he turned into a shadow and rushed towards Emperor Jin.

The two sides were already close to each other, and Ji Yingjie's sudden attack caught the Emperor of Jin off guard.

The Emperor of Jin, who had not yet reacted, only felt a pain in his heart, and his body rushed backwards like a cloud, and he saw a scene of flying backwards in front of him.

"Bang~"

"Uh...help...Puchi~"

Before he could utter the word "help", a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Ji Yingjie took the opportunity to rush forward, covering the mouth of the Jin Emperor with his left hand, holding the dagger stuck in the heart of the Jin Emperor with his right hand, with a ferocious look on his face, laughing wildly:

"Father, I just said that this is your own choice!"

"Since you are timid and cowardly, then I, your son, will take charge of the State of Jin!"

"Don't worry, in the future, the State of Jin will be extremely glorious in the hands of this son, and will definitely not be as weak and cowardly as it is now and be looked down upon by others!"

"You, just go on your way with peace of mind!"

As the last word fell, the dagger in his right hand pierced into his heart.

The pain made the Jin Emperor's pupils suddenly dilate, his body struggled violently, and the blood spurting from his heart kept splashing on Ji Yingjie's face.

The already ferocious face became even more terrifying at this moment, looking like a madman.

He covered the Jin Emperor's mouth tightly, preventing him from making any sound.

The incense burner in the hall exuded a strange fragrance, and the candlelight kept flickering, as if it couldn't bear to watch the scene of father and son killing each other!

After a while, the Jin Emperor's eyes gradually lost their luster, the spurting blood slowly became less, and his body calmed down.

Only then did Ji Yingjie let go of the Jin Emperor's body. He reached out to feel his nose and found that there was no breath. Then he showed excitement.

"Dead, hahahaha, finally dead!"

Ji Yingjie suddenly fell to the ground and laughed wildly in a low voice: "I am the second prince. Now that the emperor and the prince are gone, it is natural that I will inherit the throne!"

"This Jin Kingdom belongs to me after all."

After saying this, he glanced at Emperor Jin on the ground, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes:

"You were unwilling to send troops to help Qin immediately and insisted on forcing me to do it. This is all your own fault!"

Speaking of sending troops, Ji Yingjie's eyes suddenly lit up: "The coronation ceremony can be delayed. First, use the military power in your hands to control the situation and immediately mobilize troops to Qin State!"

Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down, then dragged the body of Emperor Jin behind the screen.

After tidying up his appearance and changing into a set of casual clothes of the Emperor of Jin, he left the hall.

"Father has suddenly fallen ill, please ask the imperial physician to come immediately!"

Ji Yingjie immediately ordered: "In addition, please invite the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince, as well as the Grand Tutor, the Six Ministers and others to come to the palace!"

"Yes!"

Half of the imperial guards in the palace were his men. At his command, the imperial guards would immediately go to ask for help.

In order not to alert the enemy, he did not even send troops from outside to surround the palace, for fear of attracting other people's attention.

Sure enough, the Fourth Prince, the Sixth Prince, the Grand Tutor and officials from the six ministries who received the news arrived one after another more than half an hour later.

"Brother, what happened?"

"Yes, how could Father suddenly fall ill? When he was in court, he was fine, how could this happen?"

As soon as Ji Yingwu and Ji Yingcai arrived, they couldn't help but ask, and at the same time wanted to go into the hall.

But Ji Yingjie stretched out his hand to stop them and said in a deep voice: "My two brothers, our father has passed away!"

When these words were spoken, everyone at the scene was shocked.

"impossible!"

"How is this possible? Father was healthy and well, how could he have passed away? I want to see him!"

Of course the two princes can't do that.

The Grand Tutor and the other six ministers also realized at this moment that something was wrong.

But Ji Yingjie took out an imperial edict with a calm expression and pretended to be sad: "Before his death, my father left an imperial edict, passing the throne to me!"

Ji Yingwu and Ji Yingcai were furious when they heard this, and they shouted angrily: "You are clearly falsely conveying the imperial edict!"

"That's right. We didn't even get to see our father for the last time. How could we acknowledge the imperial edict in your hand?"

If they still don't understand it now, then they have lived in vain for decades.

Not to mention that there were some strange things about the emperor's death, they just refused to acknowledge the imperial edict in front of them.

The imperial edict of succession requires someone to be present on the scene to be valid. Now only Ji Yingjie is holding the imperial edict. Of course, they will not believe that the edict is true!

But Ji Yingjie didn't seem surprised by their behavior. He sneered and said, "It seems that you want to disobey the imperial decree!"

"Someone is coming!"

At the command, a group of imperial guards rushed in and surrounded the two princes and other important officials.

Judging from the situation, it seems that they are forcing everyone to recognize this edict!
