If he could have discovered earlier that the fourth prince was such a malleable talent, he would not have blindly chosen Song Yu, his eldest son who was useless!
Apart from his status as the eldest son, it can be said that he has no merits.
Neither know how to hide one's strength and bide one's time, nor know how to accumulate more and gain more.
It was precisely because he made the wrong bet and bet on the wrong person that he fell into the miserable state of having nothing!
However, it is too late to consider all this now.
"Your Majesty has such a good son, of course I am envious of him."
"It's just Your Majesty, others don't know you. I have been by your side for more than fifty years, so I should be the person who knows you best, right?"
"Although your son is good, can you really trust him completely?"
"The shadow guard who follows the fourth prince at all times is to protect him or to monitor him?"
"If you can't fully trust your own flesh and blood, how can it be considered tragic and pitiful to be a human being like this?"
"It seems like I really lost to Your Majesty?"
Shangguan Yi's words successfully ignited the anger in Emperor Liang's heart.
I saw blue veins popping up on Emperor Liang's forehead, and his tightly clenched fists could not help but tremble.
It seemed that he could no longer hold back the gushing anger and wanted to cut Shangguan Yi into pieces on the spot!
"Shangguanyi, Shangguanyi, you have been a court official all your life, but you still haven't understood the principles of life!"
"Since you are the elder of the Three Dynasties, I will let you make your own choice."
"Choose a way to die!"
Looking at the poisonous wine, white silk and dagger displayed in front of him, a smile of relief appeared on Shangguan Yi's face.
Instead of worrying about when this day will come, it is better to accept it calmly!
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace!"
"Your Majesty, I am a decent man."
"These three ways of dying are not decent enough. Your Majesty, please give me some time in the end."
"I will let Your Majesty hear the good news early tomorrow morning!"
In fact, even if he didn't see Emperor Liang today, Shangguan Yi had already figured it out.
Once he is imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, the possibility of seeing the light of day again is basically equal to zero.
It's better to give yourself a happy treat instead of living in fear!
For the last moment of dignity, Shangguan Yi had already found a small sharp stone on the ground of Tianlao.
The struggle for power has always been like a rushing river, carrying people forward.
Ever since she embarked on this official career decades ago, Shangguan Yi has understood that she has no control over this journey and there is no turning back.
There are only four words in life: birth, old age, illness and death.
All other choices in life are out of your control, but at the end of the day, you can always make your own choice!
Unexpectedly, Emperor Liang did not speak, but simply shook his head.
Emperor Liang's intention is too obvious. Even if you, Shangguan Yi, die, you can't decide how you will die!
Because what you are facing is the supreme imperial power.
And the supreme imperial power is absolutely unshakable!
At this moment, Shangguan Yi's heart was filled with despair.
He gave a sad smile and without any hesitation, stretched out his bony hands towards the sharp dagger in front of him.
"In my life, I have witnessed the pinnacle of power and enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the world."
"I have no regrets anymore!"
"Your Majesty, among the four sons under your knees, have you ever truly treated any of them sincerely?"
"You have never believed in your own flesh and blood, because no matter which son he is, he can never be more important than you!"
"Don't you feel sorry for living this kind of life?"
Shangguan Yi did not intend to give Emperor Liang any chance to refute. He raised the dagger high and suddenly stabbed the sharp edge of the dagger into his chest.
"puff--"
With the spray of blood flying, a generation of powerful masters came to an end.
Seeing Shangguan Yi commit suicide in front of him, Emperor Liang did not feel as happy as he had imagined in getting his revenge.
I don’t know why, but I feel a little disappointed!
I still remember that forty-five years ago, I was just an unknown prince.
At that time, Shangguan Yi was not a powerful Grand Master, but just a bachelor in Wenyuan Pavilion.
Among the princes of the late emperor, Shangguan Yi saw the potential and courage of Emperor Liang at a glance.
Even though many years have passed, Emperor Liang will never forget the question that Shangguan Yi asked him back then——
"Your Highness, do you want a position above ten thousand people?"
No one could have imagined it at the time.
It was this casual question that would bring both of them to the top of power six years later!
However, this time is no longer the same as that time, and the person in front of me is no longer the same person as that time.
Emperor Liang closed his eyes and silently let out a helpless sigh.
"Teacher, have a good trip!"
…
After leaving the palace, Song Huan was bored and didn't know what to do for a while.
Recently, he had been busy with the tasks assigned by Emperor Liang. When he suddenly had some free time, Song Huan actually felt a little bored.
Every workshop in the western suburbs is progressing in an orderly manner. With Liu Qing to worry about, as long as the funds are in place, nothing will happen.
Shen Mei's liquor and tea business has gradually got on the right track. He only needs to get the share of her liquor sales and wait to count the money.
As for the rest...
Song Huan suddenly thought that he had not taken Cheng Susu out on a date for a long time.
Although she can sometimes be a bad-tempered and strong-willed tigress, when she has serious business to do, she can turn into a considerate and virtuous wife.
Firstly, don’t cause trouble to yourself, and secondly, don’t cause any trouble to yourself.
I just wait obediently for Song Huan to finish his work. Other than that, I will never pester Song Huan every day!
Such a well-behaved and lovely wife is really rare!
Thinking of Cheng Susu's pretty face, Song Huan couldn't help but smile.
Without further ado, Song Huan immediately decided to enjoy a day of two-person world with Cheng Susu!
By the way...
hey-hey.
Unexpectedly, Song Huan did not find Cheng Susu when he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness!"
"My young lady went shopping with the young lady from General Lu's family."
"Why don't you wait in the mansion for a while, and I'll go fetch the young lady back immediately!"
Song Huan didn't expect that he would miss it, and he felt a little annoyed.
"It's okay, no need!"
"Just tell your lady that I will be here."
This little girl has quite a rich private life!
Song Huan felt a little unhappy, but now he had nowhere to go, so he had to go back to being a street kid.
Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, he ran into Liu Qing who was in a hurry.
