Chapter 138: Unwilling to ......
"Ming Song does have doubts, but Ming Song doesn't dare to doubt the emperor, it's just that his father died suddenly, and Ming Song is not in front of him, I don't know what is going on, if the emperor knows his inside story, I hope the emperor will tell Ming Song the truth!" Ming Song said it unabashedly, and in his opinion, it was normal for him to have doubts about this matter.
Listening to Ming Song's words, Chu Yuan smiled unconsciously, but the expression in his eyes was cold, he could see that Ming Song was indeed bold, and it seemed that Ming Song had too many opinions about Prince An.
"Ming Song, you want to know the inside story, this is human nature, but there is something I want to say to you. It's not what you think!"
"......" When Chu Yuan said such obvious words, Ming Song was a little surprised, but Chu Yuan's words only made him more disdainful, mocking Chu Yuan's sanctimonious and despicable and shameless.
"That's what the minister thinks...... What is it? Suddenly, Ming Song seemed to be unable to bear it, and pulled the corners of his mouth with some self-deprecation, opening his mouth so boldly.
As soon as Ming Song said this, Chu Yuan smiled, the smile was very meaningless, there was a very pleasant kind, Chu Yuan glanced at Ming Song with lowered eyes, and said with a chuckle: "Ming Song, I know what you have in mind, but this thing is not what you think, it really is not." Prince An, he really hanged himself!"
Hanged himself. Oh, even if it's self-hanging, that's what you forced me!
How much Ming Song wanted to refute Chu Yuan like this, but this was not something he could say yet, at least for now.
"When the emperor said this, the minister couldn't say that he denied it, but the father hanged himself for no reason, but the minister couldn't understand it." Ming Song raised his head, looked at Chu Yuan with his neck crossed, and said in a stiff voice.
As soon as Ming Song said this, the smile on the corner of Chu Yuan's lips began to condense, and finally became cold and indifferent, and his expressionless face looked cold and cold, giving people a kind of cold oppression.
Chu Yuan didn't want to go around the bend, nor did he want to say more about those useless things, let alone use any explanation to soothe Ming Song's hateful and wounded heart. Therefore, Chu Yuan, who put away his playful heart, was indifferent and sharp when he spoke again.
"Ming Song, why Prince An hanged himself, don't you really know?" Chu Yuan said coldly, and suddenly looked at Ming Song and asked, Ming Song was stunned by his sudden change, but Chu Yuan didn't give him time to calm down, and then said mockingly: "It seems that you really don't have a little self-awareness of what you have done." ”
"W-What do you mean?" Ming Song was dazed, and after a moment, a trace of hatred appeared in his eyes when he looked at Chu Yuan, but he didn't say the more offensive words.
"Ming Song, if you really want to find out why Prince An chose to hang himself, then this matter really has nothing to do with you. There are some things that I didn't want to mention in the open, but in response to Prince An's self-hanging, not only did you not know how to reflect on yourself, but you even ran here to ask about the guilt. Chu Yuan's attitude and words were cold and harsh, and when he scolded him like this, it really made Ming Song a little confused.
"Minister, I don't understand what the emperor means!" Ming Song said in a deep voice, lowered his head and frowned, took a deep breath and squinted his eyes, and stabilized his mind again, "Your Majesty, Ming Song doesn't know why you said this, please tell me directly!"
"Good!" Chu Yuan patted the armrest of the dragon's head, looked up at Ming Song, his eyes widened and his eyes were gloomy, "Ming Song, the collusion between you and Han Feng, do you really think that I don't know anything." At the beginning, Han Feng assassinated me twice and three times, and then there was the Fuzhou City incident, Ming Song, you are involved in these things, aren't you. ”
"Your Majesty ......" Ming Song was slightly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that Chu Yuan had already found out about these things and knew that he was also involved.
"Ming Song, these things you and Han Feng have done, if you talk about sin, Ling Chi will not be too much to put to death. I was originally suspicious of Prince An, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was Prince An who was innocent, but it was you who killed yourself. Chu Yuan raised his eyebrows coldly, and reprimanded Ming Song coldly, Ming Song listened to this, lowered his head and was silent.
Ming Song actually wanted to ignore it and shout in direct opposition to Chu Yuan, but reason told him that he couldn't yet, otherwise he might not have a chance to step out of the palace again.
"Since these things have nothing to do with Prince An, it shows that Prince An has always been loyal to the Chu State, and he loves and adheres to the Chu State. Then, if he heard that his son had secretly assassinated the current emperor, and made a plan to provoke disputes between the two countries, so that the state of Chu would become a place of war and chaos for the people. You say, how would Prince Ann feel when he learned of such a thing? ”
As soon as Chu Yuan said this, Ming Song was shocked in his heart, his face froze, he looked at the ground with a dark face, his eyes were round, his hands were clenched, he couldn't accept it, and he couldn't believe what Chu Yuan said.
It's just that Chu Yuan's words are really reasonable if they are considered in depth. Ming Song has always known that Prince An is loyal to the Chu State, and he can't get anything, he can't get anything back, but he is willing to be foolish.
Could it be that the death of his father was really because of him?
Ming Song's heart, which had always believed that Chu Yuan was the murderer, began to waver, and once his originally firm desire was relaxed, his clear thinking began to become confused, and the whole person was a little dazed and at a loss.
"How, how could it be ......" Ming Song was dumbfounded, could it be that it was really because of what he and Han Feng did in the east window, so he killed his father.
No, it's not! Ming Song suddenly came to his senses, even if his father's death was not Chu Yuan's own doing, it was also Chu Yuan's deliberate persecution, Chu Yuan must have used his father's loyalty and guilt to force his father to commit suicide.
Ming Song understood that if Chu Yuan hadn't deliberately told his father about these things, deliberately mocked and provoked, and persecuted with words, no matter what, his father would not have chosen to commit suicide like that.
Ming Song did not shy away from the things he had done, but in his opinion, these things had nothing to do with his father, even if things were as Chu Yuan said, his father committed suicide because of shame and self-blame, Ming Song would still hate Chu Yuan.
Because, if it weren't for Chu Yuan saying these words and deliberately stimulating, how could his father commit suicide. Even if the root cause of this matter came from Ming Song himself, but the result of Prince An's death was Chu Yuan's doing, Chu Yuan did it on purpose, no matter what kind of psychology he took advantage of his father, it was because of Chu Yuan that his father would choose to hang himself.
"Your Majesty......" Ming Song muttered sadly, and suddenly got up and knelt down towards Chu Yuan, with a look of shame and remorse that he knew that he was guilty, "Your Majesty, Ming Song knows that he is wrong, and it was I who hurt my father." Your Majesty, Ming Song begs you to let me take my father back and bury him properly, and Ming Song will confess his sins to you. ”
Ming Song must not believe this, Chu Yuan knew this in his heart, he just didn't expect that at this point, Ming Song could still act in front of him, it seems that there will still be a lot of drama to be staged after this.
Chu Yuan is not in a hurry to kill Ming Song, Ming Song can't escape, the important Han Feng, Chu Yuan also wants to use Ming Song to draw out Han Feng, so it's still useful for Ming Song to stay.
Ming Song was unwilling to bow to Chu Yuan in his heart, but now that many things have been revealed, if Ming Song can't grovel and forbear, it is likely that something bad will happen, and he will die because of it.
Therefore, now Ming Song's bow is just a delaying tactic, as long as he takes Prince An's body away from the imperial city, Ming Song will be free, he doesn't need to look at Chu Yuan's face, he can do whatever he wants, and he can plan some things that make Chu Yuan feel tricky.
"Your Majesty, I don't ask for your forgiveness for the mistakes made by Ming Song, if my father really died because of Ming Song's mistakes, then Ming Song's sins are so heavy that it is not a pity to die. It's just that the younger brother is still young, and my father has always treated me kindly, so Ming Song has nothing to ask for, but to ask the emperor to promise me to bring back my father's body, and after a proper burial, Ming Song will definitely apologize with death. ”
Ming Song said sadly, looking at Chu Yuan's eyes full of desire, that look in Chu Yuan's eyes, it really surprised Chu Yuan, he thought that Ming Song was just a child of Han Feng, but he didn't expect that Ming Song also had such a deep scheming and disguise ability.
"Ming Song, you are right to say this, although you have made a big mistake, but Prince An has dedicated his life to the Chu State, and I will not let him be buried without his most important son to send him a ride. I deeply regret Prince An's death, I am not soft-hearted to you, but only sympathetic to Prince An, so I agree to let you handle Prince An's funeral. Chu Yuan also has a sincere heart for these words, and he has admiration and sympathy for Prince An, so he can let Ming Song give Prince An a funeral, and he can also let Prince An go with peace of mind.
"Minister, thank you, Emperor!" Ming Song was very moved, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing deeply to Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan looked at Ming Song's expression was a little complicated, and he seemed to sigh with regret, and then he looked at Ming Song with an awe-inspiring expression, and said solemnly: "Ming Song, I have something to ask you, you have to tell the truth, and you must not hide it." ”
Chu Yuan had just agreed to a rare request from Ming Song, it stands to reason that he was already tolerant and generous to Ming Song, and when Ming Song heard Chu Yuan say this, he naturally nodded obediently, knowing everything and saying everything sincerely.
"I know everything Han Feng did, and naturally you are the same." As soon as Chu Yuan said this deeply, Ming Song lowered his head in deep shame, Chu Yuan looked at Ming Song's kneeling figure indifferently, and continued: "I know that Han Feng is eager to kill me, and I also know that Han Feng and I have a deep blood feud, but to find out the cause of this matter, it must be traced back to the time of the first emperor. I ask you, what happened to Han Feng's hatred for me, and what is Han Feng's true identity. ”
"Han Feng's true identity." Ming Song was stunned for a moment, slowly looked up at Chu Yuan, and said with a slight dazedness: "Han Feng suffered a family change when he was a child, and he was the only one left in the whole clan, this matter is indeed related to the first emperor and the emperor." It's just that what is the reason and what Han Feng's original identity is, the minister has not paid too much attention, and he has never known. ”
