Chapter 163: The Truth Pursued by Su Chen'an
In order to kill Su Lixiao, the fifth prince Su Chen'an did not hesitate to call in a thousand soldiers under his name as a child of the royal family.
But this incident finally alarmed His Majesty.
During this period of time, His Majesty had been waiting for the news from Su Lixiao, who had left Beijing, to give him news, but he did not wait for the news that Su Lixiao was cured, but first discovered the misdeeds of the fifth prince Su Chen'an.
"Su Chen'an, explain to me, what does this mean? Don't tell me you don't know what you've done!"
His Majesty stood on the high platform and threw the news he had received in front of Su Chen'an.
「……」
Su Chen'an thought that he would take a risk, and the matter of calling a thousand men under his command would be discovered. Look at the book
But he didn't expect this matter to be discovered so quickly.
"Father, the son can explain."
Su Chen'an tried hard to restrain the panic in his heart, and pretended to look at His Majesty with a light and breezy appearance.
"Explanation? Su Chen'an, I'm going to take a good look at what you are going to explain to me!"
"The prince privately called people from outside Beijing, conspiring against him, and he was in peace, isn't it because he is old now, I don't know what kind of ambition you have?"
His Majesty looked at the five princes kneeling under His Royal Highness, and there was coldness between his eyebrows.
"Su Chen'an, haven't you forgotten that before Lone became the emperor, he was also a prince, what kind of thing would a prince do, do you think Lone is not clear in his heart?"
All emperors have come from the prince step by step to today.
The five princes' every move is actually unhindered in the eyes of His Majesty.
"Lone used to be a prince, Su Chen'an, Lone knows that every prince has thought about the throne, but I am here today to tell you plainly that you are not the most suitable person for the throne behind me."
For the first time, His Majesty made his decision so clearly to Su Chen'an.
"Of course, Lone knows that you are Lone's son, but the best destination for you in this life is to be an idle prince."
"The person who bears the burden of this family and country is destined to be you, and Su Yiting and Shu Lixiao are more suitable for this position than you."
"Su Chen'an, don't feel that Lone is biased, Lone just gave you the most suitable position."
Although His Majesty doesn't like the prince of Su Chen'an, Su Chen'an is his son anyway, so His Majesty is not ignorant of Su Chen'an.
"Why?"
Su Chen'an had prepared all the rhetoric, and he was also ready to lie to His Majesty according to Jiang Kuo's plan for him.
However, after hearing His Majesty say such heartless words, Su Chen'an suddenly chose to throw away the plans that Jiang Kuo had set for him.
"Father, I am also your son, Su Yiting, the person whose father is unknown, can become a person worthy of entrustment in your heart, why am I so disgusted by you?"
Su Chen'an stiffened his neck and questioned His Majesty on the high platform, as if he was looking at His Majesty's father seriously for the first time.
"I don't know what makes me inferior to them? Or is it that my efforts over the years are worthless in the eyes of you, Father?"
Su Chen'an felt aggrieved.
He had never been so wronged!
Because he was too aggrieved and unconvinced, Su Chen'an got up directly from the ground without His Majesty's permission.
Step by step, he walked towards his father, towards the man who had accusing him from above.
"Father, from childhood to adulthood, you first pampered Su Lixiao, because you had a deep love for the Empress Yuan, and later, Dong Guifei entered the palace, and you began to pamper Su Yiting, I am obviously also your prince, your biological son, ordinary people outside the palace, they will spoil the young son in the family, I am your youngest son, why do you never pay attention to me?"
Su Chen'an couldn't figure it out.
He couldn't figure out why His Majesty would be so cold to his son!
His mother Concubine Jiang is also one of the four concubines,
The position in this harem is not weaker than that of others.
Su Chen'an sometimes wonders, since his father is willing to promote his mother's concubine, does that mean that in his father's heart, there has also been a desire to reuse him?
Such delusions arose again and again in Su Chen'an's heart.
And then it was wiped out again and again.
Because he himself saw with his own eyes how his father and the emperor favored Su Lixiao and Su Yiting, so Su Chen'an could pull himself out of his delusions.
"Su Chen'an, when you were very young, you once killed a palace maid and threw her in the deep well in the palace, is it right?"
Seeing that the Fifth Prince insisted on asking him for a result, His Majesty pondered for a moment, and finally opened his mouth.
「……!」
The moment His Majesty said this, Su Chen'an's eyes widened.
He didn't expect that His Majesty would still remember such a long memory.
It was the first time he had killed someone, no matter how long it had been or how many people he had killed, he still remembered the pair of eyes that the palace maid looked at him before she died.
"Yes, I killed that palace maid, father, do you think I'm unworthy just because I killed a palace maid?"
Su Chen'an was shocked that His Majesty knew the truth, and at the same time, he was aggrieved for himself.
"There are many people in this harem who have died because of Su Yiting and Su Lixiao, father, I am not the only one with blood on my hands, why do you think it is wrong for me to kill someone?"
It's not fair!
None of this is fair to him!
Why is it that as a prince, Su Yiting can kill people in the sky, but he can't sleep in the dust?
"Lone doesn't think you shouldn't kill, Su Chen'an, Lone just thinks your pattern is too small."
His Majesty saw that the dust was at the moment, but he still couldn't understand the meaning of his words.
He really didn't feel fit to be a prince.
"As you said, Su Yiting used to be arrogant and arrogant, because he killed far more people than you know."
"As for Shu Lixiao, he killed the enemy on the battlefield, after so many years, if he really cares about the people he has killed, I am afraid that he can build a city wall by piling them up."
"As a prince, you just killed a palace maid who served you, so this matter is not worth making a fuss about at all."
His Majesty looked at the dust in front of him and said word by word.
"But you shouldn't do it yourself."
「……!」
Su Chen'an's eyes widened suddenly.
"You are the lone prince, the most honorable royal in this country, and the royal family must have their own decency."
"That palace maid is not good to you, she deserves to die, but you shouldn't get rid of her by surrendering your identity yourself."
"Su Chen'an, you are the prince, you can ask the people around you to do this, why do you need to let those *** blood stain your hands?"
Although Su Chen'an is the prince of the royal family, he has never remembered this incident.
So much so that Su Chen'an often does something to drop the price.
"Su Chen'an, you are the son of a lonely, if you really want to become the prince of this country, you must have the ability to dominate others."
"It would be a shame for someone in the royal family to kill someone in person!"
"Su Chen'an, if one day Lone makes you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or after a hundred years of Lonely, you sit in the position of Lonely, is it possible that at that time you will also personally kill the minister who does not go well?"
His Majesty looked at Su Chen'an, who was close at hand, and his eyes were cold.
"As a prince, you must know that there will be many pairs of eyes behind your back in everything you say and do."
"Although, Lone doesn't like your mother very much, and letting it serve in the palace back then was also to balance the court, but you are not an ordinary person, you are Lone's son."
"Lone didn't give up on you from the beginning, Suchen'an."
Because of His Majesty's words, Su Chen'an was directly fixed on the spot.
What he had been aggrieved in his heart for so many years finally found the answer in his father today.
However, this answer was not what he wanted at all.
"Father, are you not giving me a second chance just because I personally executed that palace maid?"
Su Chen's peace of mind is still unconvinced.
Why?
"I was just a child at the beginning, Father, you don't praise a child who kills an adult, only denial, I can't accept it!"
In Su Chen'an's opinion, he can rely on his own strength to kill those who despise him at a young age.
The incident itself is commendable.
Because it is not easy for a child to kill a palace maid.
"Su Chen'an, you are really a wooden head, and you will never be able to carry it."
His Majesty looked at Su Chen'an, who was still haunted by this matter, and there was a little more sympathy in his eyes.
"Yes, I'm a wooden head!"
Su Chen'an was furious.
No one can call him stupid, he has finally come to this point, if he is really hopeless, where will everything be today?
"Father, since you look down on my son so much, then tell me the truth completely!"
"I don't want to be kept in the dark for the rest of my life!"
Su Chen'an has lived in a mess for so many years, and he doesn't want to continue to live so unclear and inexplicable in the future!
"Su Chen'an, do you think Lone will only give his son a chance?"
Since Su Chen'an must have a clear answer, His Majesty is not prepared to continue to hide those hurtful words.
"After you were fifteen years old, Lone asked you to leave the palace to open a mansion and build a government, and later Lone also asked you to be in charge of large and small things in Kyoto."
"You think it's because you love Su Yiting, so you haven't paid attention to your needs all the time."
"But as long as you look back, you will find that Lone has never favored Su Yiting from beginning to end, and you have had everything he has sooner or later."
"But you've always had those things with resentment."
"Lone not only gave you a second chance, but Lone also gave you a third chance, a fourth chance......
His Majesty looked at Su Chen'an with deep disappointment in his eyes.
"Lone is your father, but Lone is also the monarch of this country, so if a person he has been disappointing Lone, how dare Lone hope that he can afford to be in the country?"
His Majesty is not without the intention of cultivating Shuchen'an.
It's a pity that this son of his has really disappointed him too many times.
"You have always envied the patience of the lonely pair of Su Yiting and Su Lixiao, but, Su Chen'an, ask yourself, if you are also in the situation of Su Lixiao, can you really come back to Kyoto alive from the frontier land to see me?"
Back then, when the charges of Empress Yuan had not yet been cleared, His Majesty had never thought of making Su Lixiao the crown prince in his heart.
However, after so many years, His Majesty watched the prince who was abandoned by him, step by step, relying on his own ability to return to the center of gravity of power.
At this time, His Majesty saw the preciousness of Shu Lixiao.
「……」
Su Chen'an was dumbfounded by His Majesty.
Outside the hall, after listening to the words of his father and son, Jiang Kuo stepped in.
"Fifth prince, don't be bewitched by Your Majesty, he doesn't have you in his heart, so naturally he never values you......
