Chapter 251 Torture
Chapter 251 Torture
Deep in the Forbidden City, on the throne of Emperor Li Tang, his former majesty has disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the person coming, Li Tang asked, "Who are you?"
Li Tang obviously didn't know Li Zhi. After all, who would care about the life or death of an ant?
However, now this ant has suddenly grown up and turned against itself.
"You are the Duke of England's man, right? If you let me go, I will grant you endless wealth and glory in the future!"
Li Tang thought that this man was the garrison commander sent by the British Duke.
"Who am I? Uncle? You don't even recognize me! You still don't know who rebelled against you!" Li Zhen laughed crazily.
uncle?
This address suddenly reminded Li Tang of someone.
"You are……"
Seeing Li Tang's face full of sudden realization, Li Zhi grabbed his collar and sneered, "That's right! I am the posthumous son of Prince Ming Zhao! Didn't expect that I, a person you have forgotten, could also seize the throne!"
Li Zhen pulled Li Tang hard and threw him to the ground.
Li Tang didn't care about falling down. When he saw the young man holding a sharp sword step by step onto his throne, Li Tang immediately rushed over and said, "No! The throne is mine!"
However, Li Tang was old after all, and was no match for the young Li Zhen. Li Zhen raised his foot and kicked Li Tang down.
Li Tang's eyes were filled with anger and confusion, while his nephew Li Zhi stood in front of the dragon throne he once sat on, with an expressionless face.
"Li Zhi, how dare you do this!"
Li Tang's anger surged out like a volcano. He widened his eyes and cursed, "You are a traitor. How dare you usurp my throne!"
His voice was as deafening as thunder, and the palace walls seemed to be crumbling under his anger.
Li Zhi looked at him expressionlessly, his gloomy eyes seemed to be filled with endless frost.
He smiled coldly, his voice piercing like a cold wind: "Your throne? This throne is what I deserve. You just took advantage of the opportunity to seize it from my father, and now you are here to speak so shamelessly! This throne has been occupied by you for twenty years, it's time to return to the orthodox throne!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Tang's face turned pale as paper. He looked at Li Zhi in disbelief, and the anger and grief in his heart surged like waves. His hands tightly grasped the armrests of the dragon throne, and his veins bulged. It was obvious that he was trying his best to control his emotions.
"You...how dare you slander me like this!" Li Tang's voice trembled a little, "I am the emperor, I am the orthodox emperor of this great country!"
Li Zhi smiled contemptuously and said, "Legitimate emperor? You obtained the throne through conspiracy and trickery. Do you think everyone in the world will believe your lies?"
His voice was like a sharp sword piercing Li Tang's heart. "Do you think others don't know what you have done? The former Prince Ming Zhao was so virtuous, how could he have rebelled? Everything is just a trap set up by you!"
An indescribable grief and indignation welled up in Li Tang's heart. He looked at Li Zhi with despair in his eyes.
He once thought that he was in control of everything, the country, and his own destiny. But now, he found that he was just a joke, an emperor who was laughed at and despised by the people.
"Li Zhi, you will regret this." Li Tang's voice was low and sad. "Although you have taken away my throne, you can never take away my dignity and honor as an emperor."
Li Zhi's eyes flashed with a cold light. He looked at Li Tang and said calmly: "Glory? Dignity? These are meaningless to you. You are now just an overthrown emperor, a loser."
"Li Tang, instead of talking nonsense here, you might as well think about how you can ask me to spare your life!" Li Zhen laughed.
"you!"
Li Tang's body was trembling, and his heart was filled with endless grief and anger.
Everything he once had disappeared without a trace in an instant. His throne, his power, his dignity...
Everything was taken away by Li zhi. There was a blazing flame in his eyes. He was unwilling to accept it. Once he had tasted power, how could he easily adapt to the taste of being a prisoner?
"Even if I die, I will never submit to you! Li Zhi, you came to the throne by illegitimate means. Without my abdication decree, you will be called a traitor for the rest of your life!" Li Tang sneered and was about to hit his head against the pillar and die. After all, he had been the emperor for so many years, how could he be controlled by a kid.
However, Li Zhen was quick-witted and stopped Li Tang.
"You want to die? It's not that easy. I'm going to make your life worse than death!"
Li Zhen said viciously.
"Come here, take him away and keep him under guard. If he dies, we'll hold you accountable!"
"Yes!"
The gloom in the palace spread like thick ink.
The once mighty Emperor Li Tang has now become a prisoner.
His palace, once a symbol of splendor, has now become a dark prison.
His nephew Li Zhen overthrew him with thunder and locked his freedom with ruthless chains.
In the deep inner courtyard of the imperial palace, the night fell and the stars were silent. Emperor Li Tang sat alone in a corner of the cage, his eyes had lost their former brilliance. His heart was like a frozen lake, cold and silent. His former power, glory and dignity, at this moment, turned into invisible shackles, tightly binding him.
Li Zhen's footsteps echoed in the corridor, and he came to the cage with a cold aura.
His eyes flashed with hatred and ecstasy, and the whip in his hand was raised high, like the tail of a dragon dancing in the air. He whipped Li Tang again and again, and the pain was like a knife cutting and burning, making it difficult for him to breathe. Li Tang gritted his teeth and silently endured this endless torture.
"You were once high and mighty, enjoying the glory above all others, but now you have become my prisoner. Tell me how it feels?"
Li Zhen's voice was like a blade in the cold wind, cold and ruthless. The hatred in his eyes was like a raging fire, burning Li Tang's soul.
Li Tang's body was covered with scars, each of which seemed to be burned by fire and was extremely painful. His body was shaking in pain, but his eyes remained firm and tenacious. Although his soul was tortured, his faith and dignity were never shaken.
In the corner of this palace, the dark clouds of sin and pain continued to gather. The moonlight sprinkled on Li Tang's body, and the silvery cold light formed a sharp contrast with the blood-red wound. His pain was like thunder in the night sky, shaking everyone's heart.
Li Zhen's torture did not stop. He ordered his men to use all kinds of cruel methods to torture Li Tang. The sound of iron chains hitting, flesh tearing, and painful groans intertwined together, like the devil's sound in hell, which made people shudder. Every nerve in Li Tang trembled in pain, but he still did not give in.
As the days passed, Li Tang's heart was still burning with the desire for revenge. He vowed that if he could escape this disaster, he would kill Li Zhen.
