"My son... I just remember my father's teachings." Prince Qing gave a vague answer.

"Oh, that's it. Speaking of which, you have really brought shame to our court. Since Emperor Gaozu established the Celestial Dynasty, you are the first member of the royal family to be captured by thieves. Moreover, you are also the dignified second prince. Alas, you said

,How should I reward you?"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, King Qing immediately said: "Father, I have realized my crime. Please give me a chance!"

"Give you a chance? Didn't I give you a chance? If I didn't give you a chance, would you still be alive to come back now? Do you know how much others have paid to save you?"

"I know, I know."

"You know? Hum, I think you don't know."

Before King Qing could speak further, the emperor suddenly shouted: "Yiqin, come in!"

Soon, a maid came in.

King Qing looked back and saw that it was Yiqin, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Yiqin told me exactly what you did in Lijiang City. I think you will live to the end."

"Father, you...what do you mean by this?" When King Qing heard this, his heart immediately started to churn. How could Yiqin say this? Could he be a spy arranged by the emperor?

"I don't mean anything. I just want to tell you that from today on, you will stay in the palace and don't go out." The emperor said calmly.

"Father! Please give me a chance to make amends. My son..."

"Bad thing!"

Before King Qing could finish his sentence, the emperor suddenly picked up the book in his hand, threw it hard at King Qing's face, and then cursed.

"I asked you to go to Lijiang City to defend against the enemy. It would be better for you to do nothing all day long! You just think about how to please girls. The army of thieves is provoking outside the city, but you refuse to go out to fight! The soldiers disappeared for no reason, but you never looked for them.

, when others found them, you ordered them all to be burned to death out of trouble! Tell me, what you did is enough for me to chop off your head!"

After the emperor finished cursing in one breath, he seemed a little tired and coughed several times.

Prince Qing, on the other hand, did not dare to speak at all, because it seemed that the emperor already knew everything.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Jin would like to see you."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside.

After the emperor heard this, he was about to wave his hands and say no, but then he thought again and changed his mind.

"Well, send her in."

Soon, Concubine Jin came quickly.

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

Concubine Jin was very favored in her early years, but now she has been neglected for a long time. However, the emperor still took great care of her because she was the biological mother of Prince Qing.

"My beloved concubine, please rise." The emperor said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that my concubine has made a big mistake and made you angry. Please forgive him this time for the sake of seeing that he is still young and has nothing to do."

It turned out that Concubine Jin came specifically to plead for mercy.

It’s no wonder that Prince Qing is Concubine Jin’s favorite. As the saying goes, a mother is as valuable as her son. Especially in the royal family, whether a concubine has a high status depends entirely on whether she gives birth to a prince, and the prince she gives birth to is.

Is it outstanding?

"My beloved concubine, my son is incompetent and has been completely disgraced," the emperor said.

"Your Majesty, please spare him this time." Concubine Jin said with a hint of tears.

"He made a mistake that cannot be forgiven. If I forgive him this time, he will make it a second time." The emperor replied.

"emperor……"

"Okay, my beloved, there is no need to say more, I have made up my mind."

"Father! I still have some kindness to report back!"

When Concubine Jin arrived just now, Prince Qing still felt a little joyful, thinking that his savior had arrived.

However, he forgot that Concubine Jin was no longer favored. Moreover, even if she was favored, how could the emperor forgive his own son for making such a mistake? If he could even forgive such a thing, then the meeting of the Chinese civil and military officials would

What do you think?

Therefore, he must protect himself.

There is no other way, now, I can't care about anything else.

Prince Qing knew that if he couldn't survive this time, he might not even be able to keep his throne, let alone snatching the crown prince's position.

"Xiaqing? What Xiaqing?" the emperor asked curiously.

"Father, I..."

King Qing said, suddenly paused, and then looked around with his eyes.

The emperor glanced at him, and then said: "Everyone, step back!"

"yes!"

Soon, both Yiqin and Concubine Jin left the palace, leaving only the emperor and Prince Qing.

"Tell me, what is your intention?" the emperor asked.

"Father, you know that my son is not good at leading troops, let alone how to fight." King Qing said without hesitation.

"Of course I know this," the emperor said disapprovingly.

"So, the reason why I am willing to take the initiative to go to Lijiang City to defend the enemy is actually because I listened to the slander!" King Qing said.

"Slander? What slander?"

"One person told Erchen that the thieves in Lijiang City are just going through the motions. No matter who goes, they will be defeated. Erchen is just going to accumulate military exploits."

After King Qing said this, he muttered silently in his heart: "Zhao Weixian, I'm sorry."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" the emperor asked with a frown.

"Father, I dare not lie!" King Qing said.

"Who said that?" asked the emperor.

"Yes...it's Zhao Weixian!"

King Qing said it in one breath, and his heart felt relaxed.

"Zhao Weixian!"

The emperor was shocked, and then asked in a hurried tone: "Zhao Weixian told you that those thieves were just going through the motions?"

"Exactly! Otherwise, how could I take the initiative to ask for help to defend the enemy? Father, among the brothers of I, only the second brother is the best at fighting. No matter how arrogant I am, I don't dare to be presumptuous in this!

"

After hearing what Prince Qing said, the emperor's mind suddenly became confused.

I have to say that what King Qing said makes sense. He is not a fool. He knows better than anyone that fighting is not a joke. But he himself does not know how to fight and has never even led an army. How dare he be so arrogant?

Take the initiative to invite a fight to Lijiang City?

In fact, the emperor always had some thoughts about this matter, but in the end, they were covered up by other reasons.

But now, when Prince Qing said such words, the emperor was completely confused.

"What you mean is that Zhao Weixian told you that the thieves in Lijiang City are pretending to attack the city. As soon as you go there, they will be defeated, and then you will make great achievements in battle. But what do you mean?"
