Chapter 11 — Phu Chan

It was enough that the play planted a seed of doubt in the king's heart. Another month has passed. Luc Van Hac's injuries have completely recovered. Except for the occasional cough, he was almost no different from a normal person. The first thing he did after recovering was to secretly enter the palace late at night to meet the Queen Mother. He handed over all the evidence he investigated to the Queen Mother. That night, the Queen Mother immediately went to the king's palace. After dismissing all the palace staff. Mother and son were in the telecommunication room talking secretly for an hour. Not long after the Queen Mother left. The Emperor, with a pale face, summoned all his confidants. Under the deliberate guidance of the hidden guard. The emperor's people quickly investigated the entire truth. No one knows what they reported to the emperor. I only knew that night. From the palace, news spread that the emperor vomited blood. The royal doctors immediately went into the palace for treatment and were busy for nearly midnight. In the end, he reluctantly managed to keep the emperor's condition stable. Foreign affairs only stated that the emperor was due to excessive labor and hard work. The next day, Luc Van Hac appeared at the court meeting. The entire civil and military court was surprised. Previously, everyone thought that Tuyen Vuong had died in an attack on refugees. Unexpectedly, today he was standing in the middle of the main hall, completely unharmed, in extremely high spirits. The Emperor sat on the long chair, his face still a little pale. Luckily, my spirit is still fine. When he saw Luc Van Hac, an extremely complex emotion flashed in his eyes. On the contrary. The faces of the Crown Prince's faction were extremely unsightly. "Vuong Tuyen Luc Van Hac has made great contributions to providing relief, and did not cause chaos in times of danger, very much in my favor. From today, promote King Tuyen to the position of Royal Admiral, concurrently in charge of the Capital Guard, commanding all defenses of the capital." Those words just ended. The whole court was immediately in an uproar. Ngu Tien Admiral and in charge of Kinh Ky Ve Beast. That is real military power. The entire defense force of the capital is now in the hands of Luc Van Hac. The Crown Prince's face immediately changed. But he had not yet had time to voice his objection. Luc Van Hac took out a thick stack of official documents from his sleeve. "I have something to tell you." "During the time of relief work in Lu Chau, I have clearly investigated that the Crown Prince used the name of relief aid to embezzle, take bribes, pocket public money, and embezzle the court's relief money. These are the oral confessions of the relevant officials, copies of books and correspondence." The main hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. His Majesty turned over each page of evidence. Until I read the last page. He threw a stack of official documents at the Crown Prince's head. This time it's no longer just a simple detention. The Emperor issued an order to strip the Crown Prince of all his positions and at the same time revoke the seal of the East Palace. During the time when the Crown Prince was detained. The Emperor began to gradually weaken the power of the Queen's mother's family under all sorts of names. First. The Queen's younger brother was removed from an important position in Kinh Ky. Next. The Queen's uncle was accused of embezzlement and dismissed by the royal court. Later. The Queen's grandchildren were either demoted, sent elsewhere, or pushed aside to no longer have real power. The Grand Master's Palace, which was once very powerful, was oppressed to the point of destruction in just two short months. The queen repeatedly requested an audience with the king but was refused. Disrupting the royal bloodline is a great disaster that cannot be tolerated. To save face for the royal family. The Emperor did not announce everything to the world. But people also absolutely do not let go of the ringleader. The Crown Prince was locked in the Eastern Palace.

I could only watch helplessly as each arm of my maternal family was cut off. Finally, he couldn't sit still any longer. The Crown Prince secretly linked up with the remaining forces of the Queen's faction. At the same time, he colluded with several generals in Kinh Ky Ve who were bribed. He planned to take advantage of the emperor's serious illness and the chaotic court situation to launch a political upheaval. But what he didn't know was that every move of him and the Queen had long been closely watched by the secret guards sent by me and Luc Van Hac. The plan that the Crown Prince thought was completely secret. In our eyes, there are no longer any secrets left. The night of the political upheaval. The Crown Prince led his army straight into the palace. There were almost no obstacles along the way. Until he arrived at the king's palace. There. The Imperial Army has long since organized its ranks. Luc Van Hac rode on horseback, holding a long spear, coldly looking down at him from above. The Crown Prince's face turned pale. Only then did he realize he had fallen into a trap. But he had no way back. Turtle in the basket. The Crown Prince was captured alive. He was tied up and escorted before the king. The Emperor looked at his son kneeling in front of him. Only fatigue and sadness remained in his eyes. That night, the decree spread throughout the world. "Crown Prince Luc Bac Uyen disobeyed the filial piety, plotted treason, was deposed as a commoner, imprisoned for life in the royal palace, never allowed to step out. Queen Vuong Thi was cruel and jealous, caused chaos in the harem, was deposed as a commoner, and exiled to the cold palace."In addition, all the people of the Queen's mother's family were imprisoned. The mastermind was exiled three thousand miles away. The accomplice was expelled from the capital and could not return for the rest of his life. Everything finally ended. A few days later, during the audience. The Emperor issued another decree. "I have reigned for more than twenty years, day and night, worrying about disobeying the emperor's orders. Now the Crown Prince has plotted to rebel, the position of the East Palace is vacant. I have thought over and over again, only King Tuyen Luc Van Hac has both virtue and talent, enough to shoulder the great cause. From today, I ordained King Tuyen Luc Van Hac as Hoang Thai Di. After I die, I will inherit the great throne."
