Words:987Update:22/07/25 16:06:37
In order to secure the throne, Di Jingcheng asked the Li family for money regardless of the consequences.
One had to know that a wealthy family could never exist alone.
Pull one hair and the whole body would be affected.
The Li family's financial misfortune had already implicated many other families, including the Li family that Di Zhong had always wanted to marry.
The other families were already very dissatisfied with the Di and Li families, but the Wu family still came out to stir up trouble.
The key was that the Wu family was very close to the prime minister, and at the same time, they had a close relationship with the Cheng family, the only family that could restrain the Li family.
All the relationships were intertwined. It was just a compensation of a little more than a billion dollars. In the end, even if someone was found to pay the bill, it would become a scourge.
No one trusted the royal family anymore, and no one trusted the king anymore.
Di Jingcheng, who had just become the king, did not have a single day of joy. Seeing that the compensation was finally settled with the Li family's defeat, the people were still shouting for him to step down.
Di Jingcheng shut himself in the palace and refused to step down. He was dispirited all day long.
He sent a request for military support to the Li family, but the Li family, who was only thinking about how to build a relationship with the Di family in Country Z, would not care about the Di family in Country B who had completely angered Di Jingxuan.
Finally, after Di Jingcheng had been the king for 14 days, almost all the staff in the palace had left. Even the guards had resigned. Finally, Di Jingcheng could not hold on any longer.
He had not slept for three consecutive nights. The people were shouting for him to step down and let the Wu family into the palace.
In the morning, after he got dressed, he did not knock on the door. He directly pushed the door open and entered Di Zhong's bedroom.
Ever since Di Zhong abdicated, he had not left his bedroom.
Di Jingcheng did not look for him either.
Because Di Zhong did not give him any ideas.
At first, he hated Di Zhong for not treating him well.
He was willing to help Di Jingan, but he was not willing to give him any ideas.
Now he knew that it was not that his grandfather was not willing to give him any ideas, but that they were in a deadlock from the beginning.
The enemy was too strong.
Di Zhong's bedroom was very dark. Only the bedside lamp was turned on.
When Di Jingcheng walked in and saw Di Zhong, he almost screamed.
This was because Di Zhong had always maintained his perfect figure. Since many years ago, he had been strictly following the nutritionist's instructions on eating and exercising.
Therefore, even though he was 91 years old, he still had a sharp sense of hearing and appeared to be in his seventies.
But now, it had only been a little over a week, and Di Zhong had lost so much weight that he was almost out of shape.
His body was shriveled and haggard.
He was just leaning against the bed. Di Jingcheng felt that he wasn't doing it on purpose. He probably couldn't stand up anymore.
Di Jingcheng's eyes widened as he walked to Di Zhong's side. He saw that he was facing the huge LED screen.
On the screen, Xie Ching-yan was helping Di Jingxuan with his tie.
The room was even more luxurious than the palace, and every decoration was a work of art.
Seeing Di Jingxuan walk in, Di Jingxuan only glanced at him and didn't even greet him.
Di Jingcheng couldn't help but exclaim, "Big Brother!"
But Di Jingcheng didn't seem to hear her at all.
"What are you doing here?" Di Zhong asked.
Di Jingcheng thought that his grandfather was discussing the throne with his brother, so he quickly said, "Grandfather, most of the servants in the palace have left. The people outside have even entered the palace.
