Chapter 1404 The traitor
Zhu Zhen made the strongest voice. He knew that he could no longer give in, otherwise he would lose his position as Crown Prince...
I just lost the battle, so what?
This change of mentality made Zhu Zhen immediately relieved. He used to think too much, so he was restrained in everything and took the blame!
From now on, this situation will never happen again. Zhu Zhen knows very well that if he gives in, he will probably be deposed as the crown prince by his father!
The reason is actually very simple.
He had the opportunity to ascend to the throne in the first place because the Liang Kingdom needed a prince capable of fighting.
Now that the situation of the war is unclear and the war is not going well, it is uncertain whether the war will continue, so naturally there is no need for him.
He has no way out!
He was so outspoken and had such an attitude, which shocked everyone around him.
Your Highness, you have such determination!
Everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to Zhu Wen.
How should His Majesty react?
The hall became even quieter. Many civil servants and generals did not even dare to take a breath. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
"good!"
"What a shame, you are the prince!"
Zhu Wen's eyes, which looked a bit old and cloudy, shone brightly at this moment, and his body also exuded endless majesty!
"The prince is the crown prince and the future king of a country. He should take the country as his own responsibility. How can we make such a decision easily?"
The emperor’s godson!
Zhu Wen stepped forward step by step and looked directly at Zhu Zhen with cold eyes.
"You have to be responsible for Liang Jun and you have to be responsible for the country. Can you do whatever you want just because you are the prince?"
Seeing that Zhu Wen showed his imperial majesty, Zhu Zhen retreated one after another.
"I……"
He was speechless for a moment and looked flustered.
This is based on righteousness. He is the prince and cannot do whatever he wants.
"When can you put the country first and put aside personal gains and losses? Can your face be as important as the country?"
Zhu Wen asked in a low voice: "Don't you understand the principle of winning a king and losing a bandit?"
Such scolding not only made Zhu Zhen's expression change, but also the surrounding civil servants and generals were shocked and confused.
They all heard the hint in this, which meant that His Highness the Crown Prince suffered a great defeat because he cared about personal gains and losses.
What are the gains and losses?
Isn't it just a symptom of inaction?
It seems that His Majesty already knew about this situation?
No matter what others thought, Zhu Zhen's face turned red. Being so exposed made it difficult for him to step down.
"Because Lu Qiling makes you worry about gains and losses!"
Zhu Wen also didn't vomit or feel unhappy.
He knew in his heart that he didn't have much time left. Even if he was dissatisfied with Zhu Zhen, he couldn't do anything. This should be the last lecture.
He hoped that Zhu Zhen could become a qualified prince and lead the Liang Kingdom to glory.
He wanted to break Zhu Zhen's last mental barrier, but instead inspired Zhu Zhen's rebellious spirit!
Zhu Zhen's hand hidden in his sleeve clenched into a fist, and in full view of the public, his scar was revealed!
"Even if the Iron Buddha Tu is destroyed, you can still hold on to Daze City, but you hesitated and you were afraid!"
Zhu Wen said in a low voice: "It's not because the enemy has weapons that can hit the ground, but because you are afraid that your princess will be taken away!"
"You worry about gains and losses, and you think it would be safer to retreat to Ba City. This is the main reason!"
The hall is even quieter!
His Majesty not only uncovered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's scar in public, but also sprinkled a handful of salt on it.
In fact, many generals also have this idea but they dare not express it. His Highness is not afraid of failure, he is afraid that the Crown Princess will be snatched away due to failure.
Then he will become the laughing stock of all countries in the mainland, and even become "famous in history."
This is not acceptable to him.
Worrying about gains and losses, these four words are used very accurately.
This is indeed the case. Ever since Emperor Yuanwu released those rumors, His Highness has begun to change. He should not make such an impulsive move as leaving the city to fight.
Zhu Zhen's face looked gloomy and uncertain.
He did not expect that his father would not give him face so much, but he would not understand Zhu Wen's good intentions.
It was proposed in public to break the situation.
Zhu Wen hoped that Zhu Zhen could face it directly and no longer regard this matter as a mental obstacle.
But I didn't expect that both father and son could not understand each other.
The Crown Princess is gone, the current Crown Princess is fake!
Who can understand Zhu Zhen's guilty conscience?
He was ashamed of Vino, and even felt that the eyes around him were like needles, which made him feel at a loss.
This is the Crown Prince of Liang!
Seeing Zhu Zhen like this, Zhu Wen's eyes showed deep disappointment.
He also heard about Zhu Zhen's reaction when the rumors spread. He locked himself in his room and dared not go out all day long. This is what outsiders said.
When he dared to go out.
But he ordered to go out of the city to fight, but the result was a disastrous defeat!
He knows that Zhu Zhen cares too much about this matter and has become his inner demon!
What Emperor Yuanwu is best at is attacking the mind. This is a fatal weakness. With this weakness, Zhu Zhen will completely fail!
As the emperor and father, he must wake up Zhu Zhen!
"Speak, isn't it?"
Zhu Wen directly scolded: "As the crown prince of a country, you are not sure to protect your own woman, and you chose to escape. As a prince, you are not qualified at all!"
This was originally meant to be a reminder, but it completely angered Zhu Zhen.
"Ha ha!"
"I'm not qualified!"
Zhu Zhen raised his head and laughed, then gritted his teeth and said: "Then, you are qualified as an emperor!"
"Your Highness!"
After hearing this, Fan Cang immediately spoke out. If it continues like this, it will be difficult to end...
Zhu Zhen was unmoved.
He has been suppressed for a long time and needs release.
"At the beginning of the war, the coalition forces numbered more than one million, and they were magnificent. However, Daning took the lead and lost momentum. This is not a big deal. The biggest problem is in Wuyou City!"
"The attack on Wuyou City still seems like a child's play when I think about it. If you had listened to my advice, how could you have gone so far if you had attacked Wuyou City from the beginning?"
"I was too radical. I robbed the people and used civilians to attack the city. I was eventually punished. But what happened in the end? You walked away and let me bear the infamy!"
This was the initial point of conflict, and all the generals present knew the specific process.
Zhu Wen's body shook. He didn't expect Zhu Zhen to say it directly.
"Anything that happened after that is mine, and any meritorious service is yours. This is what you did. I was supposed to take command of the Battle across the Yangtze River, but you left me the mess on the West Road battlefield and ran over by yourself. The consequences were disastrous.
If you fail, you will put the blame on me again!"
Zhu Zhen was unhappy without vomiting.
"When this battle was first proposed, you didn't say anything. If you lose the battle, it will be my fault. If you had known that this was the case, why did you make me the prince?"
Zhu Zhen asked questions one after another, and the high-pitched sound echoed in the room.
"It's not up to you to pick me up and throw me down again!"
Zhu Zhen finally said the last words.
"The traitor!"
Zhu Wen held his chest and backed away one after another.
Chapter completed!
