Chapter 5 — Tam Phi joined hands, Giang Son Exploded

Ly Thua Can was in the royal study, walking back and forth, as hot as fire. He intended to write a letter to us to make peace. The letter sent to Hien Phi was used by General Tham to wipe his sword. The letter sent to Duc Phi was used by To Dai Phu as a table leg. Letter to my father—the most pitiful. The messenger sent back with an ear cut off, along with a war letter.

"How dare you bully my daughter? Wash your neck and wait for the beheading!"

At that time, the three of us were at the barracks outside the city, eating roast lamb, drinking horse milk wine, and listening to the detective's report. Laugh until you fall over.

“It's worth it.”

The concubine tore off a piece of lamb and took a bite:

“That is called retribution in this world.”

The concubine played the abacus and said coldly:

“It's not done yet.”

“Tomorrow, I want to let him understand—what is called people being distracted and losing their reputation.”

Ly Thua Can was at the end of his rope. He thought of his ultimate move—using public opinion to crush us to death. Liu responded and immediately laid out his plan:

"Your Majesty, those girls rebelling, they are not maintaining proper womanly manners!"

“Please issue a royal decree and criticize them—so that everyone will spit on them!”

“As long as the people stand with us, they will not dare to cause trouble anymore!”

Ly Thua Can found it reasonable. So he personally wrote a long essay, cursing us for being demons who harm the country, saying that we stole all the national treasury and rebelled against the king. Royal signs are posted all over the caves and alleys of the capital. Ly Thua Can thought the people would be angry and criticize us. The result was— After people saw the board, their first reaction was:

"Oh, so the national treasury is the Duc Phi's family pouring money into it."

“It turns out that the border is protected by Concubine Hien's family.”

“So the emperor eats soft rice.”

Not only does public opinion not change, but it also tilts completely to our side. Everyone scolded:

“This emperor is truly shameless!”

“Eat other people's food, drink other people's food, and finally kick people into the cold palace.”

"That kind of man deserves to be retired!"

Ly Thua Can was so angry that he went crazy. He ordered the remaining Royal Guard to come out and fight. As a result, the leader replied:

“Your Majesty, we have been starving for two days and can no longer hold the knife.”

"Besides, there's a Cardinal cannon over there, we'll only die."

Ly Thua Can drew his sword to kill the leader. The leader decidedly rebelled. Lead people to open the city gate and surrender to the Tham family army.

“That emperor dog throne, whoever wants to serve can serve!”

“Let's go eat until we're full!”

Ly Thua Can completely turned into a loner. The entire royal palace was large and empty. Most of the palace eunuchs ran away, the rest were busy stealing things and preparing to escape. Luu replied that he was still daydreaming. She held Ly Thua Can's hand:

“Your Majesty, as long as we are together, nothing is scary.”

“We still have love.”

Ly Thua Can looked at her face and felt disgusted.

“Love?”

“Can love be eaten?”

“It's all... because of you bastard!”

“If it weren't for you, how would I end up like this?!”

He pushed her away. Luu responded and hit his head against the pillar, bleeding from his forehead. She glared, unable to believe:

“You… you blame me?”

"Back then, you were greedy for novelty, you wanted to oppress the family!"

"Now that you're in trouble, you blame it all on me?!"

Those two people, in the middle of the empty main hall, rushed at each other like two rabid dogs. We're from inside the telescope outside the city, saw that scene. Just feel... bored.

“That's called true love.”

I smiled faintly.

"In front of benefits, it's not worth a penny."

In order for Ly Thua Can to die in submission, we decided to add fuel to the fire. Early the next morning. The three of us led an army and pressed against the citadel. The To family's trading team set up dozens of large bronze speakers, headed straight to the citadel and shouted:

“Li Thua Can, you scum!”

“If you eat soft rice, you will lose face!”

"Luu agrees, please wash your feet!"

"A cruel lie, even pretending to be a white lotus!"

The sound of heaven and earth shaking could be heard throughout the city. People invited each other to come out to watch the excitement, some carrying chairs, some carrying melons, laughing and chatting. Next, Duc Phi ordered people to spread leaflets like snow. Above are the national treasury books. Each item, each dollar, was clear and coherent, showing that the money was all spent by the To family. Ly Thua Can, on the other hand, used it to build a wine store for Luu, and bought all kinds of precious treasures. The books are transparent and even children can understand. The people were furious.

"Fuck! Our tax money was spent like that by the emperor's dog?!"

“The To family spent so much money, and their assets were confiscated?!”

“This imperial language has no system whatsoever!”

Concubine Hien took action even more directly— Ordered someone to write the list of martyrs of the Tham family on a giant white cloth, hanging it right outside the citadel wall. Their names are so crowded, blood stains the words, it's scary to look at.

“My family will be loyal all my life, protecting the country.”

"And yet the emperor forced me to wash his feet for convenience."

“This country, whoever wants to keep it can keep it!”

The general burst into tears. The people are angry. People started throwing feces onto the railings.

“Kiss the soldier! Get down!”

“We want General Tham!”

“We want Lady Su!”

Ly Thua Can stood on the railing, his face full of rotten eggs and cow dung. He wanted to justify, wanted to speak up - but his voice among thousands of angry people was just like a buzzing mosquito. Luu agreed to hide behind him, trembling:

“Your Majesty… they are about to rush in…”

“What should I do… what should I do…”

Ly Thua Can looked at the angry crowd below and finally felt fear. Fear eats into the bone marrow. He knows, he's done. Disappointed by the people. Abandoned by everyone. This throne—he can't hold it anymore.
