Chapter 772 - 769: Off to a Winning Start_1
The Emperor of Liang heard his son’s words and, in his anger, picked up the memorials from the table and threw them at the Third Prince. The Third Prince was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly: "Father, spare me! Father, spare me!"
"You wretched dog! Qiheng was your brother by blood! He died tragically at the hands of the Jin Army! Tragically! And you humiliate me like this! I cannot endure this humiliation! I want revenge!" The Emperor of Liang shouted in anger, tears falling like a broken string as he couldn’t help but sob, "My poor Heng’er was pierced by countless arrows, and even in death... his body was separated from his head. We couldn’t even keep his body intact! Yet, you ask me to swallow my anger! When will this revenge be? Until after you inherit the throne? By that time, you might have long forgotten about your brother! Revenge? Do you think I don’t know what kind of a person you are?!"
As he spoke, the Emperor picked up the incense burner beside him and hurled it at the Third Prince.
The Third Prince, being heavyset, couldn’t dodge in time and took the hit directly from the incense burner, his head immediately started bleeding: "Father, please calm down, I never had such thoughts! I never coveted the throne! Please, Father, see the truth!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"Please, Your Majesty, calm down!"
The court officials in the hall knelt on the ground.
The Emperor wiped his tears with his sleeve, still furious, he stood up and glared at the kneeling court officials: "If any of you wish to speak of peace negotiations, then have the Jin Kingdom... bring me the heads of Liu Hong and that Gaoyi Commandery Princess! Otherwise, there’s no need to talk!"
