"You are the Crown Prince of the East Palace, you have your own natural power, you have legitimacy, and all the civil and military officials in the dynasty will be following you.
What does your sixth brother have? He had nothing. In order to protect himself and seize power, he formed his own forces. A teenage boy single-handedly established large chambers of commerce across the country and controlled so much business and talent. "
"You and your princess are respectful to each other, happy and loving, but he and his sweetheart are homeless and in danger, and they cannot see each other for five years!"
"You are the prince, and he is your brother. When he sees you, he must kneel down and kowtow."
"If there is no status, he will fight for it by himself. If there is no power, he will build it by himself. If there is no strong man, he will make friends by himself. They are both princes, but the treatment between him and you is very different.
Is he aggrieved? ! "
"You said you were wronged, but what did he say about these grievances?"
The old emperor roared angrily,
"On the day of his wedding, no one from the court or military came to congratulate him, and no one from the royal family came to help him. Was he wronged? Did he say that?!"
Wang Fugui's nose became sour and he almost shed tears.
He has lived a very hard life for more than 20 years. He has endured humiliation and heavy burdens, and has been very cautious. He seems to have unlimited glory, but in fact he is walking on thin ice.
He never told anyone about his grievances, not even his closest friends, Nian An and Han Yun.
He originally thought that no one in the world would understand his grievances.
Only now did I discover that it actually existed.
It's his father who understands, it's his father who understands.
"Everything you have is given to you by me, and everything he has is earned by himself! I have never helped him in the slightest!
With no power, no ministers, no money, and no status, he fought for it by himself and carried it all on his own thin shoulders.
Chai Yuan has a good relationship with him, which he earned by himself.
Han Yun supports him, which he earned through his sincerity.
Even his daughter-in-law was begged for by himself, and I didn’t go to marry him.
Even the wedding was done with great splendor by his own ability, so that the daughter of the Yue family would not be wronged. "
"Prince, how can you be so useless!"
"Father..."
The prince had already burst into tears and knelt on the ground, shaking like chaff.
The emperor took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, pointed to the three imperial edicts on the table, and said,
"Right now, both of you are in front of me, and there is no outsider here.
I blocked all the people brought by Lao Liu.
There are three imperial edicts here.
This line is written about the sixth prince Wang Hao, who committed a rebellion and had his entire family executed.
This line is written about the fact that the prince Wang Zhen killed Zhongliang, deposed the prince, and demoted him to a commoner. His crimes will be reviewed and punished by the Ministry of Punishment.
This line is written that the sixth prince is a virtuous and benevolent prince, and he will be the crown prince. After my death, he will succeed me as the new king.
Now here, just the three of us, father and son, I will give you a fair chance.
Now, you two, standing in front of me, two young and strong young people, facing an old stubborn, old man who is on the verge of decay! "
"The last test I give you, the last chance for fair competition."
"I am sitting in front of you. Whoever kills me will take the imperial edict he wants, go out and succeed to the throne and become the emperor!"
As soon as the emperor said this, the prince and the sixth prince immediately opened their eyes wide, raised their heads, and looked at him in disbelief.
The difference is that the sixth prince is still standing, while the prince is kneeling.
The prince was even a little lucky that he was fortunately kneeling.
Otherwise, the emperor's words were enough to scare him to the ground.
But despite this, the prince was still kneeling, with his forehead on the ground, his nose bursting with tears, his whole body trembling, and he was extremely frightened.
The emperor looked at the two princes kneeling and standing in front of him, sighed and said,
"Prince, do it."
"Father! Father, please calm down. I don't dare. I don't dare even to death. Father, please calm down..."
The prince was so frightened that his whole body shook like chaff and his spirit collapsed.
It was clear that in front of him was just an old man who was about to die, and he was a man in his prime. But at this moment, he felt that he was in front of a giant, and he was just an ant drifting with the tide in the storm. The next second Will die a violent death.
"You don't dare? A few years ago, you dared to collude with the demon clan to assassinate me. Why, the more you live, the more you regress? I am in front of you now, why don't you dare?"
"Father, I know I was wrong. Father, forgive me. I don't dare to do it."
The prince just begged for mercy. He was so frightened that he could not stand up.
The emperor glanced at him disappointedly, then looked up at the sixth prince and said coldly,
"Lao Liu, come here. Whoever kills me will be the next emperor."
Wang Fugui's eyes were bloodshot. He raised his hand, pointed at the emperor with trembling fingers, and said in a ferocious voice,
"Old guy, you're crazy!"
"Are you crazy? I'm not crazy. Liuzi, when you were very young, I said that you are the most like me.
You have my savvy and strength, my perseverance, and most importantly, you have my belief that you will never give up hope even in the most desperate adversity.
Back then, when I was still a prince, the emperor was always wary of me. After he ascended the throne, he drove me to the fief. At that time, you were not born yet, and my whole family couldn't even eat.
It was your mother who brought the money from home and arranged for her family to secretly buy food from outside..."
"You still have the nerve to mention my mother!"
Wang Fugui suddenly became furious, pointed at the emperor and cursed angrily,
"You old thing, you bitch! You still have the nerve to talk about her! You also know that if it weren't for her, your whole family would have starved to death!
Let me ask you, old man, has she failed you at all in her life?
Am I sorry for you at all?
If you want to fight for the throne, she will use her natal family's power to bribe officials and put in good words for you.
If you can't eat, it's because she begged her family to bring you food.
In fact, no one thought highly of you, an unpopular prince, and my grandfather did not agree with her marrying you, who already has a wife and children, to be your side wife!
is her! It was her kneeling in front of my grandfather, crying, kowtowing, and breaking her head that my grandfather agreed to marry her.
These things! You told me all this yourself, have you forgotten?
But why did you kill her? She had nothing against you, so why did you kill her?
Even after she died, you were unwilling to build a grave for her and just threw her in a mass grave.
If I build a shrine for her, you will push it down!
You beast! tell me why? ! "
Wang Fugui roared and rebuked the emperor for his crimes.
