Chapter 394: The Battle for the Throne (5)
The emperor understands the meaning of shaking the kite, but as long as the prince has a little tolerance, things will not come to such a point, and he will not have any hesitation on the issue of succession.
Since he was appointed as the crown prince and carefully cultivated, he naturally hoped that he could inherit the unification and be a good emperor for the country and the people. It's just a pity that he ignored the impact of the things he experienced when he was young.
In the battle for the storage position of that year, the entire capital was almost a river of blood, and the prince's childhood was spent in such an environment, and he even had to face assassinations from time to time, and he lived and died several times at a young age. While this cultivated his forbearant character, it also planted the seeds of suspicion in his young heart. made him feel that the royal family had no true feelings, and even his father, the emperor, could abolish him at any time, and his aunt and uncle might also take away the throne that should have belonged to him.
He was trembling, cautious and ambitious, and from the beginning, he was probably doomed.
The emperor was silent for a long time, took out a holy decree from a brocade box, and handed it to Shu Shaozheng: "This is an edict to pass the throne to the fourth child, the fourth child is a good boy, I am sorry for him." If the prince really has any changes, then take out the holy decree, as for the prince...... Let's hope he doesn't get confused. ”
The emperor knew that he was also deceiving himself, he was thinking that as long as the prince did not move, then no matter what, even if he knew that he had sent someone to assassinate him, he wanted to spare his life. But how could the prince be willing......
Su Shaozheng did not accept the holy decree, but comforted: "Brother Huang, you still have to take care of your health." When this turmoil passes, Nanyao still needs you to govern it, Qiao'er he actually has no intention of doing this, but the current situation has forced us to push him onto this road. ”
Su Shaozheng knew that the imperial brother handed over the holy decree to her, even if it was a disguised confession, but they were brothers and sisters in the end, and they had supported each other for many years, how could she bear to see him so bleak and lonely at night?
"Take it, just in case. Zheng'er, in this world, the only person I trust is you. The emperor's words are emotion and an order.
He is also a person who came from the struggle for the throne, how could he not understand the variables and cruelty, but he was lucky back then, with Zheng'er's strong wrist to help him block a lot of blood, and Yun Peng's young age but wisdom and decisiveness, which helped him win from so many brothers.
He was grateful, but he did not teach his own sons to be thankful too.
This is his regret after all.
I wanted to comfort him that maybe things weren't that bad, but I couldn't say anything about it, because things were probably worse than they thought.
After all, all this came too quickly and suddenly, and before, they didn't have the intention of getting involved in this kind of thing, if it wasn't for Jing'er mentioning it, maybe they were still hesitating until now, and when the prince's big thing was done, it would be difficult for them to stop it.
When Su Shaozheng left the palace and returned to the princess's mansion, it was already afternoon, and not long after he sat down, Su Yu returned.
"Prince An has indeed left the capital, and he is divided into three ways, looking for different people to pretend to be him, and walking three different roads, it is not so easy to catch up with his whereabouts for a while."
