In the Yuqian Palace, the lights were brightly lit. Emperor Kang Cheng wrote quickly after taking a pill.
Wei Zili had a bitter face and waited tremblingly. The emperor took this pill so hard that he had to take one pill for an hour.
After resting during the break, Emperor Kang Cheng took a sip of ginseng tea and asked, “What have Song Mo been doing these two days?”
“When I go back to the emperor, the Fourth Prince is reading books many times without any abnormalities.”
Emperor Kang Cheng snorted when he heard this.
He picked up the pen again, wrote the names of the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince and the eldest grandson on it, and then circled it on the fourth prince and the eldest grandson.
He stared at the names in the two circles. He always had to stand up, otherwise he would kick his legs and the princes and grandchildren would be able to make a human brain, or directly trigger a dispute over the heirs, which would cause turmoil in the court. If several princes directly split Dali. Then he was the sinner of the Song Dynasty, and Wuyan went to see his ancestors.
Before Huangkao died, he had reminded him and asked him to agree that when he was about to make a big fortune in the future, he must choose a heir and pass on their Song family’s territory.
Huang Kao once asserted that he was not such a wise and heroic ruler, but he was just a successful king and had no requirements for him. During his rule, he could do nothing, but he must be cautious in inheritance.
He was not convinced at the time, and now it was time for him to fulfill his promise.
What if I want to have a son? So what if you want to have a grandson? Who can stay: Who must take it away. This is all he needs to consider. Huangkao once said that the dynasty was afraid of young masters, and the previous dynasty Taizong got it from the hands of an orphan and widowed mother. After thinking, Emperor Kang Cheng crossed out the title of the crown prince with a red pen, leaving only the fourth son.
He began to choose the people he wanted to take away, especially the officials who were seeking the success of the dragon around him, and would rather kill them by mistake than let them go. He took it away as long as it would not cause too much turmoil. But people like the Xie family who are tempted by the tendency and have deep roots and lush leaves, they have to think about it again. It is unrealistic to take away the whole clan, so take away the tragedy.
But the more Kang Chengdi cut it, the more he felt something was wrong. He simply stopped writing, drank half a bowl of ginseng tea, then picked up the list he wrote and looked carefully, and then smiled angrily.
“Go, bring Song Mo to me!”
“Yes!”
Wei Zili quickly asked his little apprentice to invite the Fourth Highness over. He dared not leave the emperor now.
As soon as Song Mo entered the hall, a tea bowl hit his feet, “Song Mo, do you know the crime?!”
Facing the angry Emperor Kang Cheng, Song Mo knelt down, “Father!”
Wei Zili quickly cleared the scene. In a while, only Emperor Kang Cheng, Song Mo and Wei Zili were left in the hall.
“Speak!”
“Son of my son has nothing to say.”
“What a man has nothing to say! You won’t cry until you see the coffin, right?” Emperor Kang Cheng walked down the steps and walked around him. “Song Mo, you Song Mo, you are only fourteen this year, right? I didn’t expect that you are so capable, and you actually killed the crown prince, the crown prince. Tell me, are you going to kill the next step?”
Song Mo was shocked, “I dare not.”
“You are very brave, what’s wrong with not being afraid? After killing the crown prince, I still plotted against me! You are very proud of killing people with a knife, right? I borrowed my hand to get rid of Xue Huaimin and others who were hindering you. Is this knife useful? Are you very proud? Are you so sure that I dare not kill you?”
He was so angry! What evil did he commit that he still suffered such sins! If he had other choices, he would definitely give this evil son
But when he thought that the second and third princes were even more useless than him, he had to suppress his anger.
Even though he knew that he was killing someone with a knife, Xue Huaimin had to kill him! He will not let any of the ministers who made the idea and participated in the murder of the prince! But it was the turn of Xie’s family who posted it on him, and he hesitated.
Song Mo knelt there obediently, shocked in his heart. Did his father even notice this?
When Xie Zhan told him before that all the things they did might not be hidden from his father’s eyes, he didn’t quite believe it. He believed it now, and at the same time he felt relieved. He took the right step.
Xie Zhan is right. As a vested interest, he will definitely be suspected after the prince’s death. He told himself not to take a chance, his father was too smart.
Xue Huaimin’s plan included the part of forcing the palace to kill his father.
