Chapter 605: Completely Confused [First Update! ]

Even your emperor and I don’t know about such a big thing, how could I know about it? Not to mention that I really didn’t know about it in the first place. Even if I knew a little bit, there were some clues, how dare I take care of it? Is that your own son, or His Royal Highness, the prince who controls many powerful people? How can I supervise and manage him? !

If you ask me about this matter, is it okay? !

"Guilty? You answered readily!" His Majesty the Emperor looked at the left prime minister kneeling in front of him with a gloomy look, and said coldly: "I ask you again, corrupt and perverting the law, how many people have you supervised in the past few years?"

"I am guilty." Prime Minister Zuo prostrated on the ground, feeling that something was not right about this situation... The matter with the second prince was already an old issue... Why did he raise an even older issue?

Sweat broke out on his forehead.

This is really a difficult question to answer. A veteran minister like Zuo Xiang is a person who is in the heart of the emperor.

"Did you know that among the hundreds of officials you supervise, there are actually people who are colluding with party members to plot rebellion?" His Majesty the Emperor's gloomy voice was like a bolt from the blue, striking the left prime minister's heart.

At the same time, there was a sudden "plop".

But His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly sat down on the ground without any warning or image.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't even look at him, he just stared at the Prime Minister.

Everyone was silent, looking at His Highness the Crown Prince who fell to the ground slumped, and everyone stayed away like a snake or a scorpion. Each one is like a three-and-a-half-month-old duck suddenly encountering a thunderbolt.

Everyone was stunned by the news.

The left prime minister was covered in cold sweat.

The position where His Royal Highness fell was only three feet away from him.

How could he not know?

As a veteran who has been in this court for decades, how could he not know what happened?

At this moment, my heart almost jumped out of my chest.

The only thought in my mind: The sky is falling!

"I don't know, I will die..." When Zuo Xiang said this, although he didn't really want to die, he did have some thoughts of death.

He is a sensible person. When he saw the prince's virtue, he still couldn't see the mystery in it. He understood it in his heart instantly. If he could move at this moment, the first thing he wanted to do was beat the prince to death! ——You are already a prince, yet why are you so paralyzed?

Even I know that the emperor's health is failing and he can't survive for a few more days. You can't wait for just a few days? !

Even if you really can't think about it, as for dragging me into the water, I will rub off on your eighteen generations of ancestors! What does this matter have to do with me...

"You don't know, you will die?" His Majesty the Emperor nodded: "I don't want you to die now, I just ask you, what is the crime of rebellion?"

"Behead the whole family! Exterminate the nine tribes! No mercy will be spared!" The sweat on the left prime minister's forehead dripped to the ground, and even his eyes were blurred. There was no trace of the demeanor of a leader of officials.

"Well. So what's the crime for poor supervision?" His Majesty the Emperor asked.

The left prime minister almost collapsed, feeling a sense of imperial grace and amnesty: "I will die, let your majesty decide!"

His Majesty the Emperor squinted his eyes and stared at the Left Prime Minister. For a long time, he neither asked him to stand up nor let him retreat; he just let him kneel.

After another long while, he said leisurely: "Where is my prince?"

The words 'my prince', spoken from His Majesty the Emperor's mouth at this moment, seemed to be mixed with a strong smell of blood!

The faces of all civil and military personnel in the court suddenly turned pale with a "swipe" sound.

"Father...Father...Father...son and minister, son and minister...are here." His Highness the Crown Prince crawled forward two steps and knelt down on the ground with all his strength, his whole body shaking like chaff.

His Majesty the Emperor's eyes suddenly revealed a strong sense of disgust.

"Your Majesty, please raise your head and let Father take a good look at you. Look at my son." His Majesty the Emperor said in a low, cold voice.

"My son... don't dare..." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lowered his head and did not dare to raise his head. Or should I say, he did not dare to face His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne above him. Father!

"Dare not? Hahaha..." His Majesty the Emperor laughed sadly: "Is there anything in the world that you dare not do? Things that are 10,000 times more treacherous than this, you have done your duty and done it yourself; at this moment, I I asked you to raise your head, but you dare not? You are really too humble, my dear prince, my dear prince!"

The whole hall was completely silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

His Highness the Prince only felt his heart beating loudly, as if his heart had moved to his own brain to make a home and beat.

Every beat is a violent vibration, thrilling.

With a pale face, he finally slowly raised his head, looked at his father, and looked into the hawk-like eyes on the other side.

His Majesty the Emperor's eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion.

"As expected of my crown prince, he is indeed a talented person, with dragon-like eyebrows and phoenix-like eyes, and a majestic appearance." His Majesty the Emperor half-closed his eyes and said calmly: "Let me ask you, have I ever deprived you of your crown prince position? Or maybe I have? Have you ever done anything similar?"

The prince trembled: "No, never."

"Have I ever told you that my health is not good, and maybe I will pass the throne to you in the next few years?"

"Father... said it."

"Have I ever said that my body is no longer able to bear the load? I am terminally ill, the medicine is ineffective, and perhaps my life will not last long?"

"Father...said..."

The Emperor's voice became calmer and calmer: "Such a private topic, such a secret illness; I have never hidden it from you! This is the most taboo topic for all kings in tens of thousands of years; I, for the sake of father and son getting along, will do my best to cultivate you, and I will not hide anything from you; I only hope that you can take on the heavy responsibility after my death, continue the glory of Emperor Chen, and keep its prestige, that's all!"

The Crown Prince prostrated himself on the ground again, but this time he really didn't dare to look up.

"I have never figured it out; you obviously know everything, and you know even more clearly that no one can shake your position as the Crown Prince! You just need to wait patiently, wait for the day of my death, you even know that the day of my death is not far away, as long as you wait until that day, all of this will be yours. But you still have to plot a rebellion, why? Answer me?!"

The Emperor frowned.

He was really puzzled about this.

He was a great and capable emperor, but he really couldn't understand what his son was thinking. He knew everything about his physical condition.

He had hidden nothing from him.

As long as he persisted for a few more years, or even three to five months, or at most a year or two, everything would be his!

But why did he choose the extremely circuitous path of rebellion!

There was no answer!
