The Prince of Beiliang Was Given the Posthumous Title of Tyrant? This Heir Rebels to Cleanse the Emperor’s Court

They say Guangling never knows the cold, while the Great Snow Dragon Riders descend south of the Yangtze in the depths of winter.

The King of Beiliang, Xu Xiao, was dead.

For thirty years, this “butcher of men” had guarded the northern frontier, fighting more than a hundred battles, large and small, without ever suffering defeat. He did not die on the battlefield, but finally succumbed to illness in his bed at the Beiliang Prince’s residence.

The grim news reached the capital of Yongzhou.

What followed was neither consolation nor a posthumous honor, but a cold, merciless edict from the current emperor, Emperor Longqing.

His posthumous title was to be “Cruel.”

That single word erased all the achievements of the King of Beiliang’s life and turned the eight hundred thousand Beiliang troops into a laughingstock.

That day, the entire Beiliang camp rang with grief.

The three thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders knelt before the Prince of Beiliang’s residence and refused to rise, as motionless as statues.

Xu Zheng, the dissolute heir of Beiliang, stood at the front in mourning clothes, with three thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders behind him, their killing intent soaring into the sky.

“Whole army, follow me south to slaughter Jiangnan!”

“Kill!”

In a single day, he took three cities, leaving rivers of blood in his wake, and marched on the imperial city.

He tore up the edict in front of everyone, speared the eunuch, shouted “Purge the emperor’s traitorous ministers,” fought his way through the palace gates, and forced the emperor to change the posthumous title and write an edict of self-condemnation!

He was no emperor, yet he held power over the entire court!

He took consorts into his residence, made the empress his captive, raised a puppet child emperor, and named himself “Imperial Father” and regent.

He commanded the cavalry of the northern frontier, controlled the capital’s defenses, seized the wealth of the realm, and gathered a harem of peerless beauties.

From powerful minister to the true ruler of the empire, he trampled the dignity of the royal family, racked up System rewards, and strode step by step toward the pinnacle of martial arts, becoming an immortal of the mortal realm!

Decisive and ruthless, with one thrilling moment after another, watch Xu Zheng tear apart the rotten imperial order in the most audacious way and bring the realm under his rule!
