Ten years of film queen, finally became a top star

Chapter 376: Killing the King and the Father

The reason for getting up was still that Yu Jiang was woken up by hunger. After waking up and eating the breakfast brought by Wang Dandan, the two of them went for a walk in the shed.

It was still early and there were not many staff on the set. Apart from the set design team who were constantly making changes, there was only the cameraman who was following the documentary and debugging the equipment.

Yu Jiang has nothing to do with this morning's filming. She only needs to shoot the Zhaowen Palace coup scene in the afternoon.

It is estimated that the shooting will take place from afternoon to evening, and in the group portrait, she is the absolute protagonist, and it is a scene with no room for error.

Ran Feng was here today and there was no play, so Wang Dandan took a break and went back to her room to video chat with her daughter.

Ran Feng was working as Yu Jiang's assistant on the set, carrying a thermos cup. Yu Jiang was putting on makeup while acting with Feng Guodong.

The two of them kept trying to find the feeling, and they both agreed that this scene should not appear too exciting, and that this important scene should be performed with ease.

Emperor Xiaowen had anticipated this day when he became emperor, so when that day really came, he should not have been too surprised.

Princess Yangping Zhaowen had been planning this day for many years. Before she got married and left the palace, killing her father was something she had to accomplish.

Shen Zhaozheng was completely invisible in this incident. In order to protect him and prevent him from becoming a criticized emperor, his sister completely excluded him.

Wei Zhongling absolutely stands on the side of his lover. No matter whether her approach is right or not, he will always support her unconditionally.

Jiang Ci felt the same way, but she didn't want His Highness to do it himself. However, Shen Guiwu was determined and she had no other choice.

The commander of the imperial palace guards was previously Emperor Xiaowen's man, but Shen Guiwu had already taken him under her wing and found a reason for him.

Acts like regicide and usurpation of the throne will bring eternal infamy. As for Shen Guiwu, all those who stand on her side should not be held responsible.

The big seal was given to the princess, and the commander of the guards had a jade pendant that symbolized her status.

Regardless of whether they also wanted to kill the tyrant in their hearts, they would be able to clear themselves with these two things as evidence in the future.

The hall where Emperor Xiaowen was having fun was surrounded by heavy guards. Shen Guiwu was determined to take things to the extreme by killing her father and the emperor in broad daylight.

In the hall filled with singing and dancing, Concubine Li leaned in the arms of Emperor Xiaowen. She seemed to be enjoying the emperor's favor, but was quietly waiting for His Highness to arrive.

Emperor Xiaowen was emperor for twenty years, during which he led his troops to fight many battles. A simple siege might not necessarily succeed in one go.

When the eunuch brought the wine, he gave Concubine Li a look, and she personally fed the wine with added ingredients to Emperor Xiaowen's mouth.

Shen Guiwu entered the hall while calculating the effect of the medicine. She would not allow herself to make any mistakes. If she failed, there would be corpses everywhere.

Concubine Li had already left with the dancers and musicians when Emperor Xiaowen was dizzy. The hall was now empty with only the father and daughter.

Emperor Xiaowen certainly knew what was going on. He forced himself to maintain his former dignity, half leaning on the dragon throne and looking down at his favorite daughter.

"This method is not honorable. When I forced the emperor to abdicate, I broke into the palace alone."

Emperor Xiaowen was the first person to consider killing his father as an achievement.

"I am not as brave as you, so it is inevitable that I will use some girlish tricks. Please forgive me, father."

The flowing and fairy-like plain palace dress that Shen Guiwu was wearing was newly made, and the exquisite silver hollow fairy headpiece highlighted her cool and elegant temperament.

In her hand was the sword given to her by Emperor Xiaowen at the state banquet. This sword had accompanied him in his battles, but now it was going to take his life.

After taking control of the palace, Wei Zhongling summoned all the ministers as planned. Shen Guiwu wanted to complete this task in full view of everyone.

Emperor Xiaowen, who was under the influence of the medicine, could not say anything. He just smiled and looked at the child who looked most like him.

"This is karma, I deserve this."

No one knew better than Emperor Xiaowen himself what he had done. He had gone crazy after being the crown prince for ten years, and after becoming emperor, he never thought about others for a single day.

Shen Guiwu didn't want to waste time talking to him. Since he faced the outcome calmly, she didn't want to say anything more to her.

The civil and military officials of Dayu gathered at the playground where Emperor Xiaowen performed executions for fun. Her Royal Highness the Princess stood beside the dragon throne, holding a sword.

The civil officials said nothing. Rather than being rewarded for saving the emperor, they were more looking forward to a change of dynasty. They would only condemn the "traitors" if the situation was unfavorable.

The military officers were all hesitant. Emperor Xiaowen was a good general. He had led them to be invincible and he did not kill all of them.

But they also know that His Majesty is not a good emperor.

He saw that his soldiers died without fighting due to the shortage of food and fodder, and he also knew that the imperial palace had used real money to build useless things like the Star-Picking Pavilion, the Moon-Grabbing Tower, and the Immortal Terrace.

After weighing the pros and cons, they hoped that Dayu would replace him with a better emperor, so they had to sacrifice their once brave generals.

The hall was so quiet that even the sound of falling hair seemed to be heard. Emperor Xiaowen forced himself to sit up straight and looked at the court officials filling the hall.

Shen Guiwu was waiting for them to speak. Since no one objected, it was her time.

The sword was pointed at the throat, just like how the old Qiang King was treated at the state banquet that year, but this time the sword would really draw blood.

"Shen Xiaowen, you are an unfilial son, an unfaithful husband, an unkind father, and an unjust person. You killed your father to ascend the throne, were licentious and immoral, tortured your children, and treated the people harshly. You are truly the most incompetent ruler!"

Her voice was not loud, but in the quiet hall, it was loud enough for everyone to hear her words.

Emperor Xiaowen disagreed and said, "I am like this. Maybe if my daughter becomes the empress, this will also become your comment."

Shen Guiwu ignored him and just stared at the court officials waiting for their replies, but no one dared to be the first to speak out at this time.

Wei Zhongling glanced at the court officials, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, as if his sword would be unsheathed if they did not know how to deal with the current situation.

Minister Yan is Shen Guiwu's uncle, and the Yan family is also the head of the civil officials. Although he was not informed in advance, he also knew that he was of vital importance.

"The emperor is incompetent and unjust, and Your Highness is righteous!" Minister Yan knelt on the ground and shouted, his piety showing very sincerely.

With Minister Yan taking the lead, the civil officials followed closely behind. They could not be the first supporter, but they could never be the one who failed to respond.

The military generals didn't like to shout slogans, but they all followed suit and saluted.

While the court officials were prostrating themselves on the ground, Shen Guiwu's sword neatly cut Emperor Xiaowen's throat.

Emperor Xiaowen, whose blood was splattered everywhere, showed no resentment when he was dying.

His life was worthwhile. Except for the time when he was a crown prince and was walking on thin ice, no emperor in history had a life as comfortable as his.

He believed that his daughter would be a worse queen than he was.

He can rest in peace if he doesn't become a king who loses his country.
