Chapter 109: Thinking about Things
He did not have the courage of the previous emperor to kill his own son, and he did not want his other sons to bear the crime of killing their brothers and sisters. Several confidants gave him advice: "Tell the truth to Prince Hao and see what he thinks." The emperor had no other choice but to give it a try.
At this time, King Hao was completely stunned by what he saw and heard.
His good grandfather actually conspired with his mother to make General Wei's second daughter marry into the Qian family as his second wife; he also killed General Sima's concubine; when his princess knew he was arrested, she emptied her own palace; his good father-in-law not only kept a record of the account book, but also revealed a little bit in his memorials every day, ha! It turns out that the old ones are still the best.
What stimulated him even more was that Prince Shuo and Chen Xu were still alive. Even the princess he was going to marry, Chen Jing, was still alive. Not only was she skilled in martial arts, she was also following the goddess. They were all living a prosperous life now. Prince Hao felt a pain in his heart and continued to stare. "Sun Mao actually found Sima Yi? How is it possible!"
He finally couldn't control his surging emotions and yelled, "No! This is impossible! Absolutely impossible. I saw him die in the fire with my own eyes. His father is dead, how can he still be alive?"
The jailer took the opportunity to ask, "How do you know his father is dead?"
"Dongyi and Xishu joined forces to set up numerous traps and release large amounts of poison. I personally tricked him over there, how could I not know? Hahahaha, hahahaha, it's a lie, it's all a lie, I don't believe it, I don't believe it. It's a lie, it's all a lie. ..."
King Hao kept talking, slowly tightening his body until he squatted on the ground. He curled up, covered his head with his hands, and kept muttering: "This is impossible, impossible..."
In the imperial study, the emperor felt mixed emotions when he saw all this. It was his own fault for not disciplining the child, which led to the child being taken advantage of and brought to this point. "The Qian family is an ungrateful wolves that can never be fed. The treasury is empty, so this can be considered their last salvation!"
"Defu, the Qian family is indeed a family of merchants. They have patience ingrained in their bones. I really underestimated Concubine Rong. She was such a well-behaved and docile woman, but I didn't expect that she was so stubborn deep down."
"Your Majesty, that is your mercy. You gave them a chance to confess."
"Oh! I am too kind. They all ignore me. They win over court officials, withhold military rations, bully the people and merchants, and control the market. The most hateful thing is that they dare to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country. Do they still care about me or the country? Yes, he even dared to poison me, so why would he care about so much? What is so good about this position that makes them so crazy and ignore the lives of the people of Anguo?"
Defu quickly and gently helped the emperor calm down, saying: "The Imperial Master has already said that everything has its own destiny. Why should the emperor be angry with himself? You have done no wrong to the people of the world, nor to the princes. Your kindness has moved heaven and earth, and now the goddess has come to help us. Your majesty, your happy time is still to come. Tomorrow is the wedding of Prince Chen and the goddess. The goddess will be your eldest daughter-in-law in the future. This good thing from the gods can be used by us to maintain the country."
"You! You actually know how to say nice things. That's true. Life is not easy for most people. Since I ascended the throne, I have enjoyed the protection of the late emperor and have not made any major mistakes. Now, the eldest and the second son can stand on their own, and I can look forward to a better life. Don't be afraid of a boil on your body, just bear the pain and cut it out. I am not afraid!"
"Your Majesty, I heard that everyone from the royal family to the common people, and even the underworld forces, have sent gifts and beauties to the Goddess's mansion."
"That's what she deserves. Without her help, I can't imagine what An Guo would be like now. After the wedding tomorrow, he will be a real adult. Go call him over. I have to give him some instructions."
"Yes! Your Majesty, I heard that a young man has moved into Minister Guo's home these days. Rumor has it that he is his illegitimate child, and now that he is older, he has been brought back."
"You old man, are you trying to get me to tell you something? Now that they haven't explained it, they must have their own plans."
"Yes, I've talked too much, I deserve to be beaten!" He said as he slapped himself lightly on the face.
"The Qian family was able to fall so quickly thanks to Lord Guo. Without his leadership, scholars and writers wouldn't be so united, and common people and merchants wouldn't dare to come forward to testify. It's a pity that Lord Guo, who had many students all over the world, is now alone. There must be a will of heaven. The Sima family lost Sima Yi, and Minister Guo got a new one."
"Your Majesty is wise, nothing escapes your discerning eyes. Please have a cup of tea and rest for a while. I will go and summon Prince Chen to see you."

Chen Wang Mansion, check the final arrangements. In order to be energetic to marry his bride tomorrow, Chen Wang lay down early to rest. But his restless heart made him excited. From the dream he saw the little girl, he kept thinking about their first meeting and the little things they had experienced together in the past few months. He felt like he was still living in a dream. The world is so big, but he only met her. The little girl said: "There are so many times and spaces, but I came to Anguo alone. I traveled through thousands of years and I wish to create a prosperous dynasty with you!"
His father had talked to him several times and said that he was willing to pass the throne to him. He had no intention of taking the throne, but now he might have to sit on it. What his little woman thought about and actually did were all practical things for the country and the people. Without absolute power, nothing could be done well. For the sake of the country and the people, and for his little woman, it should be worth it to trap himself in the palace!
In the real world, the highest leaders of the country are elected. They are busy visiting foreign countries and inspecting all parts of the country every day. He has a large team of secretaries who serve him alone. This is a good idea. It seems that being an emperor does not necessarily mean staying in the palace all the time. When the people are united, the people live happily and the country is naturally safe.
In the current chaotic situation, they broke into the most dangerous places together; rescued several people who were almost impossible for him to find; saved thousands of people from the plague; even the most brutal and notorious Ghost Killing Sect in the world were willing to be their slaves. They really did everything.
I used to think I was invincible, but after seeing the hot weapons, my inflated heart instantly withered. I had to be self-deprecating and self-doubting, and I was not worthy of her in any way! The elf was right, no matter how great the ability is, it still needs the support of power. This is what he can do to fight in the front and defend in the back. The capable little woman just let go and fight, and leave everything else to him.
The happiest person should be the emperor. He has endured 30 years of hardship in the palace and now he finally gets what he wants! Oh! It's all because of Zhenzhen. It seems that all of them have the opportunity to change their lives because of her. He is the benefactor of all of us...
After thinking a lot, the groom-to-be finally fell asleep in a daze in the second half of the night!
