Chapter 35 The Fire of That Year
So whenever he thinks of this, he feels heartbroken.
Seeing the third prince dealing with Prime Minister Wei on weekdays, his relationship seemed to be good, he couldn't bear it. The better they were, the more jealous they were. So he tried his best to eradicate Lord Wei. As long as the people who had a relationship with the third prince Zhengxun, he would eradicate them. He wanted to make him single and have no one around him.
Looking at the scenery in the distance, a nameless fire was revealed in his eyes.
So he was carefully planning such a conspiracy, with the purpose of eradicating the position. To put it bluntly, Lord Wei is the scapegoat. In fact, he did not have any head-on conflicts with Lord Wei, but just wanted to attack Zhengxun.
And in that palace, when everyone retreated, only the emperor sat on the dragon throne and thought about this matter. Even if he was unwilling to believe or face it, the evidence was conclusive and the matter was already a foregone conclusion.
He was unwilling to believe that Lord Wei would betray himself for others and for the sake of foreign races, and exposed all the secrets of the palace to the enemy. So even if he knew that someone deliberately framed Lord Wei, he had no other choice now, because Lord Wei had no strong evidence at all, and could bring down those people to prove his innocence.
There is no way. Although he is in the highest position in the palace, now that such a thing happens, he has no choice but to do it step by step. Even if Lord Wei is already beaten to pieces and covered in scars, he will not admit one or another. He only hopes that he can hold on for a longer time and can hold on until the moment when there is evidence to save himself.
"Father, Zhengxun asked for a meeting."
Suddenly, the voice of the third prince sounded outside the door.
The emperor couldn't help but frown. He knew that he had always had a good relationship with Lord Wei, but he had never met Zhengxun since Lord Wei's accident.
He doesn't have to guess when he came today, and he must have come to plead for Lord Wei.
"Come in."
As the emperor said, he stood up from the dragon throne and walked towards the door.
"My son pays homage to the father."
Seeing that the emperor also stood up from the dragon throne, Zhengxun walked forward.
"My son pays homage to my father. How is my father's health today? Are everything safe?"
"It's pretty good. I haven't had any serious health problems recently. But why did you suddenly come to see your father at this time? You've already gone to court at this time, and your father is going to go to the room to rest."
The emperor said with a glance at Zhengxun.
"Father, I heard everything I said in your morning court just now."
The third prince said.
"Oh, is that right? Then you heard it, what do you think about this?"
The emperor looked at Zhengxun’s thoughts.
"Your Majesty, I think there must be something strange about this matter. Moreover, Prime Minister Wei is not that kind of person. He is upright, how could he sell the confidential map of the palace to that country? And think about it, I was also present at that time, and I went to investigate carefully later. All the aliens were silenced overnight, and only the woman survived. And I heard that the woman seemed to have a son."
The third prince's tone became gradually excited.
"After Zhengxun, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't conduct any survey on this matter, and this matter is left to your second brother. Don't meddle in other people's business, and you will get into trouble when the time comes."
Listening to the third prince's words, the emperor glanced at him and roared angrily.
He seemed not to want him to continue speaking and interrupted him.
"Father, I know you are for my own good. You know I don't think so, because I'm not afraid of anything. After all, this is the case with a clean and honest person. I believe Lord Wei is the same. He must have thought in his heart that the emperor would give him justice, so he would rather die than surrender now, even if he was beaten and covered in bruises, and would not say anything, because it was really not done by him, and he was indeed wronged."
"Why did the father tell you that you can't listen? Each of your three sons was told by me that what you need to do is not within the scope of your responsibility, so don't say anything more."
Why didn’t the emperor know that there was something strange about this matter, but there is no good way to solve this matter at present. After all, he is the emperor and he also wants to judge this matter fairly and justly.
"Father, I know you are difficult, but I also know that the Prime Minister can never be that kind of person in my heart. If he is that kind of person, even if I am blind, I don't believe us, but I don't believe that our country will become like this. Those who truly think about the country will endure such injustice. So if no one seeks justice for him, then let me do it."
"Zhengxun, don't take action easily. You just need to be responsible for yourself. I still have a scale in my heart. Moreover, national affairs are not as simple as you think. They only need fairness and justice. If there are no two gangs in the court, then sooner or later someone will want to spy on your father's position. At that time, this position will not only be left to your prince, but will be taken away by that person. There will be too many things like this, and there will be too many vivid examples in front of you. Therefore, there must be two factions in the court. The difference between the two sides cannot be too great, and they must be equal."
Zhengxun was puzzled after hearing the emperor's words. He didn't know why good people had to live in grievance, but bad people had to be justified.
"Father, I don't want this."
The third prince's long eyelashes were covered with his eyes, and he sighed, and his long eyelashes were scattered on his eyelids.
There was a feeling of loneliness in his eyes, which seemed to be his feelings about this matter.
"Good father, I understand, you can rest early."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"You are my son, and a father will definitely not harm you. You must listen to your father and stop interfering in this matter."
Her back had already walked out of the palace, but she still heard the misty words her father said in the end.
The emperor looked sad, with three sons, but there was only one throne, so who should this throne be left for? Since ancient times, which prince has not been red-eyed by the throne, and brothers have confronted each other.
So he didn't want his three sons to have such consequences.
So he made it clear to his three sons since he was a child that political circles are not easy. I hope that his sons can understand that their efforts to be a father can not make her and the queen worry too much in the future. However, the fire that year changed the second prince, making him become narrow-minded and unable to tolerate anything else in his eyes.
