After breaking through the borders and killing the two generals, Bastard and Heavenly Hound, the slave army led by Chen Jiu successfully returned to the Tian Hua Empire and temporarily settled down.
Without staying for long, Chen Jiu left the white-haired, green-haired ghost and company behind to prevent a counterattack from the heavens. He then led the teachers and students on a triumphant return!
Recovering the territory, defeating the heavens, and raising the prestige of the Tian Hua Empire. Chen Jiu's deeds could be said to have completely stirred up a storm in the Tian Hua Empire. It was as if his achievements had shocked the ruler!
In the Tian Hua Empire Palace, the Kong clan, Battle clan, Shen Tu family clan, and Magus clan, who already bore a grudge against Chen Jiu, took turns to maliciously slander Chen Jiu.
He was accused of stealing the Great Emperor's limelight, of not putting the Great Emperor in his eyes, of being arrogant and conceited, of possessing an army, of attempting to rebel, and so on. All of these accusations were pinned on Chen Jiu's head.
"Do you have any evidence for your words?" Tian Hua Emperor was not completely muddle-headed.
"Your Majesty, according to what I heard, Chen Jiu went deep into the heavens and brought back an army of more than two hundred thousand slaves. Now, they are gathered at the borders, conserving their strength. Once the time is ripe, he will definitely rebel!" A group of old officials said alarmist words.
"Oh? Is there such a matter? Why did Chen Jiu not report it to me? "Tian Hua Emperor could not help but be suspicious.
"Your Majesty, Chen Jiu wanted to deceive everyone, but he neglected the fact that the army he led was made up of our people. By using such petty tricks, he is only smashing his own feet!" A group of officials said smugly.
"Is that so? We originally wanted to wait for his return before marrying him. From the looks of it, shouldn't we postpone it? " As the Emperor, what Tian Hua Emperor was most afraid of was someone trying to usurp the throne, no matter how high the person's achievements were!
"Your Majesty is wise. How can you marry the princess to such a person with ulterior motives?" The officials said maliciously once again, "Once Chen Jiu returns, the first thing Your Majesty should do is punish him!"
"Isn't this a little inappropriate?" Skyflower Emperor also felt that this was a little too much.
"Your Majesty, if you don't strike first, once he notices and escapes, the Tianhua Empire will definitely be divided by him!" The ministers cried out again.
"Alright, I understand!" The Tianhua Emperor finally nodded and decided to restrain Chen Jiu first.
Just like that, Chen Jiu returned with a sense of glory. He wanted to marry the two princesses and live a happy life, but he suffered an unimaginable blow.
In front of all the officials and generals of the imperial court, Chen Jiu was first tricked by the Tianhua Emperor into giving him the Mecha War God in the name of research. Then, the Tianhua Emperor immediately ordered his men to arrest Chen Jiu!
"Great Emperor, why are you doing this?" At this time, not only Chen Jiu, but also the teachers and students who came back with him were confused.
"Chen Jiu, do you know your crime?" Tianhua Emperor didn't explain and immediately questioned Chen Jiu.
"Know my crime? I drove out the sun and restored the rivers and mountains. I am the benefactor of the Tianhua Empire. What crime have I committed? "Chen Jiu said righteously and vehemently.
"Chen Jiu, We know that your achievements are considerable, but you have to understand that the reason you are where you are today is because We have bestowed upon you. It's fine if you don't know how to be grateful, but you are delusional enough to covet my throne. This is too disappointing!" Tianhua Emperor scolded in dissatisfaction.
"Covet my throne? Who is talking nonsense? Your Majesty, I wholeheartedly wanted to be your son-in-law. How could I covet your throne? "Chen Jiu felt very wronged.
"Is that so? Then why did you hide the fact that you brought back an army of two hundred thousand slaves from the sun? What are your intentions? "Tianhua Emperor questioned directly.
"Your Majesty, I haven't confirmed whether these two hundred thousand people will be citizens or soldiers. One of the reasons I returned this time is to plead for them. I hope that Your Majesty can accept these outsiders and give them a legal identity!" Chen Jiu said seriously.
"Sophistry, Your Majesty, please don't be deceived by him. These slaves are not from our country and have ulterior motives!" A group of officials slandered him again.
"Your Majesty, do you believe me or them?" Chen Jiu looked at Tianhua Emperor's hesitant expression and couldn't help but feel sad. "When Tianhua Nation was in danger, who was it that stood up resolutely? Have these great emperors forgotten?"
"That's right, Your Majesty. General Chen Jiu bathed in blood and killed the enemy. His contributions cannot be ignored. Your actions will disappoint the soldiers!" Many students and teachers pleaded.
"Royal Father, you can't listen to the words of these treacherous officials. Chen Fa definitely has no intention of rebelling. We dare to guarantee it with our lives!" Wang Xinai and Liu Qianqian were a step too late and knelt down.
"This … no matter what, Chen Jiu has gathered soldiers for his own sake. This is indeed suspicious of rebellion. I think we should lock him up first and deal with him after the matter is investigated!" Tianhua Emperor finally made his decision.
"What? I am a meritorious official, and you actually want to lock me up? "Chen Jiu was undoubtedly extremely disappointed.
"Chen Jiu, if the emperor wants the official to die, the official has no choice but to die. Just based on the tone you are questioning me with, I have every reason to lock you up. Do you understand?" Tianhua Emperor was a little displeased after being questioned repeatedly.
"Royal Father, how can you be so heartless? Have you forgotten how you tried to curry favor with Chen Jiu that day, betrothing us to him and making a promise to him?" Wang Xinai was also very pained.
"Darling, I haven't punished him yet. This is just an investigation. Don't I even have the right to do this? Or have you long regarded him as the emperor in your hearts? "Tianhua Emperor roared angrily.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. In our hearts, you are the supreme emperor!" A group of old officials quickly flattered.
"Darling, I love you, but this doesn't mean that I have to tolerate your family. Can you understand me?" Chen Jiu's expression gradually turned cold.
"Chen Jiu, I understand you. This isn't your fault. No matter what you do, I will always be your woman!" Wang Xinai had a faint feeling that something was wrong, but she still stood on Chen Jiu's side resolutely.
"Chen Jiu, what are you trying to do? I advise you not to mess around. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite! "Tianhua Emperor warned sternly.
"The officials are forcing the people to rebel. I have given my all for the Tianhua Empire and risked my life. In the end, not only are you ungrateful, you even want to frame me. My loyal heart has been fed to the dogs!" Chen Jiu frantically broke free from the soldiers who were clamping down on him, his face full of arrogance.
"How dare you, Chen Jiu! Are you really going to rebel? Can't you wait any longer? "A group of old officials were all excited. Chen Jiu, you are courting death!
"Rebel? Aren't I in this situation today all because you forced me to? Since you insist on making me rebel, what's wrong with me rebelling? "Chen Jiu fearlessly rebelled.
