Chapter 501 How dare you
Speaking of this, the emperor's emotions fluctuated, with anger, disappointment, and hatred in his eyes.
He was angry because the eldest prince didn't understand his heart and did something that touched his bottom line.
Disappointment is that the eldest prince has too small ambition and a small mind. Can such a person be expected to govern the country well if he sits on the throne?
As for hatred, he hated that Nangong Yunqi and his wife were unpredictable in their lives and deaths at the border, and the eldest prince actually had to do such despicable things behind their backs.
The eldest prince panicked. Seeing that the emperor was really angry, he was so scared that he knelt down: "Father, the child is not tragic!"
The emperor grabbed the teacup and slapped it directly in front of the eldest prince. The hot tea splashed directly on the eldest prince's face.
Pointing at the eldest prince, he said angrily: "You are worse than brothers and sisters. Yunqi is different from you princes. He has been suffering from outside since he was a child. He did not enjoy the glory after he came back, so he went to the border to fight to the death. Everything you have today was his, and he never thought about competing with you. What do you think he went to the border to make you feel at ease, but what happened to you! You did something with your own conscience."
The eldest prince was frightened by the emperor's rage.
He said with a sad face: "Father, you wronged your child, because he is worried about affecting the border war."
The emperor sneered: "You can raise the banner. Let me ask you, how can Lin Yuzhu and his female spoils affect the war! Are you really so confused when you are the Eighth? Are you General Yan Liyan and other generals all confused? Are you just trying to find an excuse to let me punish the Eighth Princess? Are you still traitors?"
He didn't expect that the eldest prince was standing up. When he said this, the emperor was even more disappointed: "These are not the real reason why I got angry with you. I don't know what you thought you were urging the third and fourth brothers to do behind your back? Do you really think I'm confused?"
The eldest prince was so scared that he fell to the ground.
I became scared, how did the emperor know...
How could you know this?
He obviously did these things very secretly!
The emperor's face was filled with mockery: "Are you thinking about how I know these things? Are you scared now?"
The eldest prince quickly kowtowed: "The child does not...the child does not understand what the father is saying."
The emperor became even more angry. He pointed out the matter, and the eighth prince was still pretending.
He held a bamboo slip in his hand and threw it on the eldest prince's body. The bamboo slip was very heavy and it hurt to hit the eldest prince's right arm.
The eldest prince gritted his teeth and endured it, not daring to show it at all.
The emperor said angrily: "You are still pretending to be stupid here, aren't you? The third brother deliberately delayed the delivery of food and grass, and only sent a little at a time to the border, so that Yunqi could not hoard enough food and grass, and even cotton clothes could not be supplied in time. The fourth brother did not send me herbs to the border. The emperor did not want to mention these things you did. After all, the third brother and the fourth brother were also remedial, but you shouldn't have come to me to impeach the Eighth Princess. Not to mention that the Eighth Princess devoted themselves to the Tianyuan Kingdom, it was said that the Eighth Princess knew that the border was in danger, but he still had to help the Eighth Princess. Compared to the dirty things you did behind your back, you don't know how much open and honest you have! You still have the face to impeach."
After saying this in one breath, the emperor's heart did not dissipate, but instead became more and more intense.
The eldest prince trembled all over, so scared that he didn't dare to say anything more.
The emperor continued, "What the Eighth Princess went to the border to do, do you think I don't know? Do you really think she is going to disrupt the morale of the army? She is going to help Yunqi. Helping Yunqi is helping Tianyuan Kingdom. She risked her life to go to the border. It would be fine if you don't praise me, but you dare to impeach me. Who gives you the courage?"
The more he spoke, the more angry he became. The emperor had already walked to the eldest prince and kicked the eldest prince in anger.
The eldest prince was kicked and staggered, and he quickly knelt straight, with fear in his eyes.
Eunuch Hai quickly stepped forward and persuaded, "My emperor, don't be angry, don't be angry, be careful of your health."
The eldest prince was really frightened by the emperor's aura and dared not move even if he was kicked.
The emperor was so angry that the anger in his chest became more and more intense, and he kicked the eldest prince again: "You are not even as strong as a woman in your heart. Do you want to rely on me to pass the throne to you? Let me go back to Anyang City and think about it for three months."
The eldest prince dared not stay for a long time, and he was so scared that he ran away in a hurry.
The emperor finally calmed down his anger under the persuasion of Eunuch Hai, and sat on the dragon throne for a long time before he recovered.
"How dare you say he dares! He actually came to impeach Lin Yuzhu in front of me and sent an order to this emperor. Lin Yuzhu went to the border secretly with his imperial edict. I don't want to hear any remarks about slandering the eighth couple."
He now feels sorry for Nangong Yunqi and his wife very much.
Thinking about how much Lin Yuzhu loves her two children, she can only be cruel to leave her two children to go to the border alone. If she made such a great sacrifice, if he still didn't protect her, wouldn't it disappoint the old eight couple?
Eunuch Hai said on the side: "The eldest prince is indeed wrong this time. Although I have never met the Eighth Prince, I also know the Eighth Prince's character. When she goes to the border, she definitely does not delay the Eighth Prince's battle, but she must be helping the Eighth Prince solve her problems. In addition, I also learned some things."
Eunuch Hai also received the news, which he did not expect.
The emperor said: "What's the matter?"
Eunuch Hai presented the note from Fei Ge's letter that he had just received and said to the emperor with both hands: "Please check it out."
The emperor took the note, looked it carefully and frowned: "I didn't expect Yu Tong and the Eighth Princess to think of this step. After this time, the third and fourth brothers should knock it."
He didn't expect that the Fourth Prince could actually make up for his merits and give them herbs to the border personally.
I didn't expect that the third prince would join forces with the eldest prince to make things difficult for Nangong Yunqi.
He received the memorial sent by Nangong Yunqi, but he kept suppressing it. He also knew that the third prince had ordered people to escort food and grass to the border, and was afraid that the handling of the third prince would affect the situation of the war now, so he did not hold him accountable.
But he didn't expect that there were so many secrets behind him, and the eldest prince played an important role in it.
Eunuch Hai whispered: "The emperor means, don't you know about this for the time being?"
The emperor said: "I won't mention it for the time being. When Yun Qi returns to his grand victory, I will settle the score carefully. Unexpectedly, the eighth brother won several consecutive victories, which scared the eldest prince and the third prince to do such a ruthless thing."
How great is it to delay war? Tianyuan Kingdom has a clear law.
Eunuch Hai couldn't bear it: "The third prince has been delivering food and grass all the time, it's not too bad."
The emperor sneered: "He is the most sensible. He wants to form an alliance with the eldest prince. He is worried that the emperor will blame him when he knows the matter, so he makes an excuse to send food and grass to the border slowly. But the fourth brother actually woke up."
Eunuch Hai knew that the emperor was feeling uncomfortable and sighed: "As long as the throne is involved, these princes will be particularly smart and have many means."
The emperor also came from this step and naturally understood the meaning of Eunuch Hai.
But he already had a more suitable candidate in his heart, and his requirements for the princes were not that high.
