Chapter 1427: A stampede, under the great trend, Zhao Guo is in chaos!

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Quickly summon the imperial physicians, Your Majesty has vomited blood."

The Zhao Emperor was angered to the point of vomiting blood and fell backward; this action directly caused the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs to be greatly alarmed.

They shouted outward one after another.

If the Zhao Emperor dies, then all of them who serve by his side will have to die!

In an instant, accompanied by the eunuchs' voices, the imperial physicians of Zhao Guo entered the palace one after another.

Zhao Yuheng heard the news and also entered the palace at the first opportunity. He looked at the crowd of white-haired imperial physicians, his eyes filled with fury.

"If you cannot cure the Imperial Father, this Prince will have the entire Imperial Medical Academy buried with him!"

The imperial physicians of Zhao Guo were covered in sweat, carefully stepped forward, hurriedly took the Zhao Emperor's pulse, and then spoke to Zhao Yuheng.

"Your Majesty should be suffering from a surge of anger, which led to the fainting. He should be fine in a while."

An old imperial physician with white hair wiped the sweat from his forehead, instantly feeling relieved.

Zhao Yuheng looked disappointed and closed his eyes.

He said to himself in his heart.

"What a pity, he didn't die."

But then, a more daring idea arose in his heart.

Now Zhao Guo is about to fall into great chaos, and the Living Yama and that Great Qian Empress are clearly trying to force Zhao Guo onto a dead end.

Who is the culprit? Undoubtedly him—Zhao Yuheng!

Regardless of the consequences of this matter, his position as Crown Prince is likely not secure.

Even with the Zhao Emperor's temperament, he will have to settle accounts with him.

Rather than sit and wait for death, it would be better to...

Zhao Yuheng's eyes suddenly turned ruthless; he associated this with Yan Wushuang of Yan Kingdom.

If Yan Wushuang can do it, why can't he, Zhao Yuheng?

But then, his eyes revealed hesitation. Yan Wushuang rebelled and ascended the throne because of his own accumulated military merits and his many years of foundation.

But he has only been Crown Prince for a short time. If he were to kill his father and ascend the throne, he feared the outcome would be no better!

Alas, what a pity!

The old imperial physician on the side saw the struggling expression on Zhao Yuheng's face, and his complexion changed slightly.

What does the Crown Prince want to do?

Scoundrel!

That is the Zhao Emperor, his, Zhao Yuheng's, biological father!

How could he, how could he have such a rebellious thought?

The old imperial physician hurriedly lowered his head, but he made up his mind in his heart: as soon as the Crown Prince makes a move, he will immediately—immediately go up to help!

But just as Zhao Yuheng was struggling, the Zhao Emperor also slowly woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes.

Zhao Yuheng restrained the expression on his face, threw himself at the Zhao Emperor, and cried out in grief,

"Imperial Father!"

"You scared this son to death. If you were angered into a bad state, what would this son do, what would Zhao Guo do!"

A touch of gratification surged on the Zhao Emperor's face, and he couldn't help but reach out and pat Zhao Yuheng's back, soothing him.

"Yuheng, I am fine!"

"You can rest assured!"

The Zhao Emperor struggled to get up, his dragon eyes looking at Zhao Yuheng.

Although this son's ability is average, his governance is average, and he was even deceived so miserably by the Living Yama, he... is filial enough!

Sure enough, at critical moments, one still has to rely on family!

"I was angered for a moment by those bastards!"

The Zhao Emperor thought of the news he had learned, and a touch of killing intent couldn't help but appear on his face.

Zhao Yuheng asked curiously, "Imperial Father, what exactly happened to anger you like this?"

The Zhao Emperor said with murderous intent, "At the morning court, I ordered the news to be blocked so it would not reach the commoners, but not long after, someone in Handan City started selling it off!"

"The price of one bolt of Zhao Gao silk has fallen to one tael, and it's not even eight hundred wen anymore!"

"And there are already people among the commoners spreading the news wantonly, secretly fueling the flames. With this added to the sell-off, even if I don't say anything, the commoners will definitely know the authenticity of this news!"

The Zhao Emperor thought of this and couldn't help but punch the table again.

"What?"

Zhao Yuheng's expression also became extremely ugly upon hearing this.

"Then the downward trend of Zhao Gao silk, isn't it unstoppable?"

The Zhao Emperor didn't answer, just took a deep breath, his eyes flickering.

"Imperial Father, we cannot wait any longer, quickly order the troops to suppress it! If we let them continue to internalize, the price of Zhao Gao silk will only be lower!"

"Send troops?"

The Zhao Emperor's tone suddenly turned cold upon hearing these words.

He looked at Zhao Yuheng on the side and said coldly, "Who do you think it is that is so well-informed and still hoarding so much Zhao Gao silk?"

Zhao Yuheng's pupils shrank suddenly upon hearing this.

"Is Imperial Father saying that these people who are selling off wantonly are the officials of the court?"

The Zhao Emperor said coldly, "Besides them, who else could it be?"

"If we send troops to suppress them and cut off their path to wealth, do you think they will sit and wait for death? At that time, I fear our Zhao Guo will truly collapse!"

Since ancient times, imperial power and the officials have been opposing existences. Compared to Great Qian, the court of Zhao Guo is even more intricate and complex.

If this force selling off Zhao Gao silk were just one family, the Zhao Emperor could naturally easily send troops to suppress them and forcibly block it, but who knows how much this group of people hoarded while the whole nation was crazy about Zhao Gao silk?

Sending troops to stop them at this time will truly cause trouble!

Now he is caught in a dilemma, which is also the viciousness of Gao Yang's Zhao Gao silk scheme!

If he does nothing, he can only watch all this happen.

If he does, the situation might be even worse.

The choice is his, but he has no way to choose!

The Zhao Emperor said to the guards on the side: "Go quickly to find out the news, and then... come to report immediately!"

"Understood!"

The guards received the order and left immediately.

The Zhao Emperor looked outside the Imperial Palace, took a deep breath, and muttered, "Ancestors above, please protect me... protect my Great Zhao once!"

"..."

However, the Zhao Emperor's echo in the Imperial Palace was destined to be in vain, destined to have heaven not fulfill his wishes.

At this very moment.

On the streets of Handan.

More and more people were selling off Zhao Gao silk, almost unstoppable, and the price was getting lower and lower!

The shouting and hawking were about to resound through the heavens.
