The Human Emperor (200-400)

C312: The Future Corrupted Minister!

Boom!

Watching the two figures in the distance, a huge wave of shock gushed over Wang Chong.

He didn't expect to meet the future Son of Heaven here! Furthermore, it was in the humblest of the three training camps, established specially for ordinary civilians, Kunwu!

This was simply too astonishing!

Pah!

Wang Chong was still surprised by the unexpected discovery in the mountain when he suddenly heard a loud "pah!". Turning around to take a look, he saw that the servant had actually slapped the Fifth Prince Li Heng.

"Audacious!"

Anger swept across Wang Chong's face. Peng! Dashing ahead, he swiftly stepped in between that servant and the Fifth Prince Li Heng. With a palm strike, he knocked that servant away. After which, he turned around and helped the future Great Tang emperor up.

"Li Jingzhong, how dare you!"

Wang Chong turned around and glared at that eunuch furiously. Killing intent surfaced in his eyes. Since the Fifth Prince was here, the middle-aged servant beside him must be that notorious, power-hungry eunuch, Li Jingzhong.

He had a far more spectacular title, Great Eunuch Li Fuguo!

The number one corrupted minister during Great Tang's era of catastrophe!

If there was one person whom everyone in the Central Plains hated after the Sage Emperor's passing, it was the Great Eunuch Li Fuguo.

In his previous life, countless people wanted to assassinate him, drain his blood, and rip his flesh.

If not for this bastard, the grand heritage of Great Tang wouldn't have been terminated. It could be said that he was the one who extinguished the final hopes of Great Tang.

"Forget it!"

Just as Wang Chong was considering whether he should make use of this opportunity to clip away Li Jingzhong before he had assumed a role of power, a deep and gentle voice sounded in his ears.

Li Heng rubbed his slightly swollen face as he spoke with composure, "Uncle Jing didn't do it on purpose, he was just anxious in my stead."

On the other hand, Li Jingzhong's face was pale, and he was trembling in shock. He really didn't do it intentionally.

Even though he was very annoyed by the Fifth Prince's action, and he did possess the thought of teaching the latter a lesson, he would never dare to dream of slapping a member of the royal family.

A servant slapping his own master was truly a heinous crime. It was only out of anger that he did so. More importantly, he also didn't think that he would be seen in the midst of this remote mountain.

If word were to spread out, he might just be beheaded!

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I was foolish." Li Jingzhong hurriedly came to and slapped himself heavily in repentance of his own actions.

"Forget it, Uncle Jing. I know that you didn't do it intentionally." The Fifth Prince waved his hands casually.

Upon seeing this sight, Wang Chong fell into deep thought.

It was not without reason that the Fifth Prince was so highly favored by the Sage Emperor and eventually claimed the crown. Just his magnanimity and disposition in itself were incomparable to many.

The prince had come from a noble bloodline, and being slapped by a servant was a huge humiliation to them. If it had been any of the other princes, they would have surely flown into rage by now. However, the Fifth Prince was still able to view it with nonchalance while not making it seem that he was weak and powerless.
