As soon as Zhu Di uttered the words "imprisoned monarch," Qianlong's face contorted even further. Wasn't he precisely that now? A monarch who was imprisoned. Moreover, Zhu Di's words were indeed qualified enough to interrupt.

Qianlong wanted to retort, but he didn't even know how to begin.

However, he quickly let out a cold laugh, "A usurper, a rebellious vassal king, dares to yap and whine. You're no different from the likes of Li Shimin, who killed his brother and usurped the throne."

Li Shimin: "?!"

What the hell, are you looking for death? Don't I have any dignity? Calling me out right in front of me!

Li Shimin snatched a battle axe from Cheng Yaojin and strode directly towards the dragon throne. Along the way, the ministers dared not make a move, standing frozen with stern expressions.

After all, that was all the sternness they had left.

Li Shimin placed the battle axe against Qianlong's neck and said with a sinister smile, "Come on, those words you just said, I'll give you a chance to rephrase them."

Qianlong really wanted to resist, but he was, after all, someone who lived a life of luxury. He had never fought anyone before, how could he compare his martial strength to an emperor like Li Shimin who had fought on horseback?

Therefore, the axe rested smoothly, and Qianlong responded smoothly as well, "Even if you kill me now, I will still say it. Your path to the throne was not righteous, but you did usher in the Reign of Zhenguan, setting a precedent for emperors throughout the ages. As the saying goes, no one is perfect, who can be without fault?"

"Hmm, I like hearing that. If you can say it, say more," Li Shimin was satisfied. He glanced at his formation of generals and felt incredibly pleased. It was indeed a wise decision not to bring Wei Zheng.

He was truly letting loose this time. Now, even threatening an emperor to flatter him wouldn't get him criticized.

Previously, Wei Zheng had really wanted to participate in the Overthrow the Qing and Restore the Ming campaign. After all, this was the first expedition into foreign lands in millennia; how could he not be tempted? Unfortunately, Li Shimin adamantly refused to bring him.

"Alright, that's enough. After dealing with this guy, we'll take the rewards and go back to promote them nationwide," Ying Zheng said, urging them to finish quickly. He still needed to take the seeds back to cultivate the land.

"Oh, right," Li Shimin nodded. He also remembered the high-yield seeds and promoting agriculture. He had been having too much fun lately and was reluctant to leave.

They hadn't just killed their way here; they had also collected some high-yield crops from the common people. Although Liu Bing had said he would provide them, they didn't know how much he would give, so they decided to collect some high-yield crops that didn't exist in their own dynasties.

Of course, besides crops, they had also collected some advanced items. Otherwise, their trip would have been in vain.

Did they really think they were just here to kill people? The profit from killing was too low.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, "Well, I'll give you a dignified way out. You know about the crooked neck tree on Coal Mountain, right? Go hang yourself there."

Zhu Yuanzhang still held a grudge. The last emperor of his dynasty was forced to hang himself on Coal Mountain, and now that he was here, he wanted this emperor to hang himself there too. This was called bringing things to a proper conclusion.

From where the empire was lost, the one who snatched the empire should be the one to hang.

Qianlong really wanted to say that an emperor could not be insulted, but looking at the four emperors eyeing him menacingly, he knew that if he didn't leave with dignity, they would help him leave with dignity.

Or perhaps, without any dignity at all.

So, for the sake of dignity, Qianlong stiffly walked to Coal Mountain and declared with resolve, "Though I die, the will of the Manchu Qing shall live on."

With that, he hanged himself.

As his life flashed before his eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang walked up to him and chuckled, "I won't let you be alone. I will send the others down, leaving none behind."

Saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the generals behind him, "Have the gates of the Forbidden City been sealed?"

"They have been sealed. All secret passages and rooms have been found, and even the dog holes have been blocked," Xu Da replied with a chuckle. "Of course, those who disguised themselves and tried to sneak out of the palace have also been caught."

If you find this book to your liking, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

"Very good, leave no one!" A sinister glint flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and he waved his hand.

Qianlong's eyes suddenly widened, his pupils filled with venom as he stared at Zhu Yuanzhang. After a while, the venom in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by a vacant dullness. An emperor's reign had thus ended.

After this, Zhou Ru would handle the affairs of this world. The four emperors completed their mission, received their rewards, and returned to their respective worlds.

Zhou Ru then began her work, diligently leading her followers, along with Zhang Jiao and the enlightened individuals she had imbued with the Red Will, to rebuild a red China.

Of course, Liu Bing no longer concerned himself with these matters. He had already returned to his own world to cause trouble... no, to show off.

After all, the great figures of the Hong Huang were waiting to watch the fun.

At the Yuncheng Military Region Hospital, Zhou Nuo nervously watched the nurse with a strange look in her eyes leave her ward before sighing in relief.

She had fainted for two days after driving away the middle-aged man possessed by the Parasitic Beast that day. When she woke up, she was in this hospital.

Although the hospital was comfortable and the stay was reportedly free, she felt at ease. It was just that the way people looked at her was so strange.

"Little Right, do you think the way people here look at me is strange?" After observing for two days, Zhou Nuo found that there were no surveillance cameras in the room. So, when no one was around, she would quietly communicate with Little Right.

"Could it be that they've discovered you, Little Right?" Zhou Nuo said with a look of cautious worry.

Little Right was speechless. Wasn't being discovered normal? After all, it wasn't a real human body part; it was easy for technology to detect it.

It had already reached an agreement with the human side while Zhou Nuo was unconscious, otherwise, Zhou Nuo wouldn't be able to stay here.

It opened its eyes and looked at Zhou Nuo with a strange expression.

As soon as Zhou Nuo saw Little Right's gaze, she immediately whispered, "Yes, yes, they look at me like that. You're really good at imitating, Little Right."

"You should know why they're looking at me like that, right? Tell me. You were awake when I was unconscious."

Little Right sighed softly and then looked at Zhou Nuo with a strange and pitying expression, saying, "While you were unconscious, they thought you were injured and gave you a full examination."

"Mhm, and then?" Zhou Nuo felt Little Right's expression was rather odd, but she was still more curious about why those people were looking at her that way.

"Then they couldn't find out why you were attacked, so they needed to start from your usual life trajectory to investigate why you were attacked. And your phone was undoubtedly the best entry point."

Zhou Nuo: "!!!"

She felt something was wrong, even a sense of impending doom.

"And the 800G on your phone unfortunately exposed you. Also, when those people returned your phone, the doctor happened to come by and explained that your fainting was due to exhaustion, not any injury. Combining the two situations..."

Little Right didn't finish, but Zhou Nuo already knew what the follow-up would be. Sometimes, other people's imaginations were the most fatal.

She didn't faint from exhaustion!!!

"Little Right! I didn't faint because of that, you know! I was really attacked!" Zhou Nuo felt it was necessary to explain.

"Of course they know that, but sometimes, you humans prefer to believe some so-called facts that you yourselves consider the most absurd and most talked-about. Then, after it's spread through others' mouths, you understand."

"Ah!!! My lifelong reputation! I'm still a maiden untouched!"

Zhou Nuo dove into her covers, roaring in despair.
