Chapter 2716: Chapter 2716: Deserving Retribution from Heaven

That was the network he painstakingly built up, and he hoped to rely on those people to rise again. Unexpectedly, not only did the Northern Lands fall, but even the capital was defeated utterly!

That wretched son really has grown capable, able to unearth so many of his forces.

It must be Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue who assisted him; otherwise, he couldn’t have possibly dug out so many people on his own.

Eunuch Fu listened to the Retired Emperor scolding the Emperor, merely smirking.

He had heard that word so often it bored him. The Retired Emperor only knew to curse with that term, without even changing words; it truly was laughable.

If the Emperor is a wretched son, then what is the Retired Emperor?

Constantly picking faults with the Emperor, even dragging the citizens of Daqing Kingdom into it, such selfishness and ignoring the greater picture is the conduct of a foolish ruler.

Back when the Emperor was still Prince, Prince Zhan defended the border and achieved great military success, yet never boasted about his merits.

Such deserving loyalists and generals, the Retired Emperor not only failed to win them over but also secretly harmed them.

With such conduct, what good could come from Daqing Kingdom under the Retired Emperor’s rule? As the nation’s fortunes gradually declined, everyone wanted to take advantage.

Only after coming into the Emperor’s hands did Daqing Kingdom begin to slowly restore its fortunes, yet even now it hasn’t fully recovered; external wars are gone, but internal strife persists.

And most of it comes from this Retired Emperor.

Now that he has lost his support, he hangs insults at the tip of his tongue daily, without feeling embarrassed!

"Retired Emperor, these are just the rebellious ministers and traitors recently uncovered. The Emperor plans to handle them all soon. As for those hiding deeper, I believe the Emperor will surely find them.

Are you pleased for the Emperor, Retired Emperor? If it were you in power, you certainly wouldn’t find so many rebellious ministers and traitors."

Eunuch Fu’s smile slowly widened, his grin revealing white teeth as he aggravated the Retired Emperor mercilessly.

"You, you all..."

The Retired Emperor trembled in anger, unable to utter a word, overwhelmed by pain.

Of course, he couldn’t find that many rebellious ministers and traitors, because if he were in power, those people would be his loyal ministers and generals, how could they be traitors?

Rebellious ministers and traitors, in his view, that wretched son is the biggest traitor, who seized the throne meant for him, an act of heinous treason punishable by divine retribution!

Those people were his, years of labor, now caught in one fell swoop by the Emperor!

"And the Emperor, have him come see me, I want to see him, I must see him now!"

He couldn’t be bothered with outside matters now; the priority was to get rid of those two Paper People An Jiuyue brought in, who could take his life at any moment.

Everything would be manageable once those two were gone.

"Tsk."

Eunuch Fu picked up the Petition, clicking his tongue.

"Retired Emperor, I just said, the Emperor is busy, he has no time to come to the Supreme Palace; just rest assured here and enjoy your days. When the Emperor has time, he’ll come to pay respects."

Wanting to see the Emperor again, is it to scold him once more, or use familial ties as an excuse to commit some misdeed?

He certainly won’t convey the Retired Emperor’s request to see the Emperor; let this one be left to fate in the Supreme Palace, sparing the Emperor from unpleasantness each time.
