After chatting with the old eunuch for a while, Du Chengfeng finally understood the situation over in Jiankang.
It turned out that the Southern Chen Emperor he had killed before was originally just a Prime Minister, and on the day he sneaked into the imperial palace, this Prime Minister, who held sway over the court, was in the midst of usurping the throne, having just donned the dragon robe.
Unfortunately, that treacherous minister, on his first day in power, hadn't even warmed the dragon throne with his behind before he was cleaved by Du Chengfeng's sword.
Du Chengfeng had fled back to Yizhou City, waiting for experts to come knocking at his door. Yet little did he know, just the day after he left, the civil and military officials reinstated the original young emperor and began the purge of the treacherous minister's remnants—of course, during this process, there were inevitably those who wished to claim the glory of restoring order for themselves.
