Chapter 58

In Yushu Hall, the emperor sat high in the middle of the hall, condescendingly looking down at Wen Zhemao who came in from outside the hall.

"My son, I have seen my father."

Wen Zhemao bent down to salute, and bowed to the ground.

The emperor stared at Wen Zhemao for a long time, the more he looked, the more strange he felt that the person kneeling at his feet in front of him was strange.

"Maoer."

The emperor called Wen Zhemao's baby name, opened and closed his mouth, and found his own voice after a long time, "Are you still human?"

Wen Zhemao curled his lips, stood up without the emperor's permission, and looked up at the high-ranking emperor.

The emperor's inner struggle and heartache were so clearly shown on his face, which seemed so ironic that he taught his king not to show his anger and anger.

Wen Zhemao curled his lips and smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle and soft: "Why do you ask such a question? My son is of course a human being, so he can't be a god, right?"

The emperor stared at Wen Zhemao's smiling face. He used to think that smile was so heartwarming, but now it was so chilling.

Hearing that gag-like joke again made the emperor's heart burn even more: "Xiao Liu is your biological brother, and Zhen is your biological father!"

Wen Zhemao froze for a moment when he heard the words, as if he didn't react.

After a while, Wen Zhemao suddenly realized, and his smile became more gentle: "So you already know about this."

"you!"

The emperor never expected that Wen Zhemao would admit it like this, and his chest was filled with blood suddenly, and his mind exploded like a buzzing, "Beast!"

The emperor scolded angrily, rubbing his chest and panting.

However, Wen Zhemao looked at him leisurely, and continued to add fuel to the flames: "Irchen's mother and concubine died when I was six years old, and she did not leave any siblings for me. As for you..."

Wen Zhemao smiled even more, "My father went with my concubine after she passed away. You are just the emperor... nothing more."

"Rebel!"

The emperor was furious, and he raised his hand and threw the teacup at Wen Zhemao.

Wen Zhemao avoided it lightly, and brushed off the tea stained on his body nonchalantly: "Anger hurts your body, your current body cannot withstand much torture."

The emperor gasped violently, and stared at Wen Zhemao fixedly: "I have planned everything, I will send you to southern Xinjiang to meet Li Dingshan, send you to provide disaster relief and reap the hearts of the people, let you assist in the affairs of the six ministries, entrust the power of the three guards to you, and wholeheartedly serve you in the future." Pave the way for enthronement. You will repay me by killing your brother and father, and rebelling?!"

The complete set of blue sky glazed teacups were all blown off and fell to Wen Zhemao's feet, shattered into countless pieces.

"Heh...hahahahaha!"

Facing the emperor's angry questioning, Wen Zhemao seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

After laughing enough, Wen Zhemao straightened up and looked at the furious emperor with a sarcasm: "Thinking out of your mind? Yes, it's really calculated. I didn't die in southern Xinjiang, I didn't die from the riots of the disaster victims, and the plague after the disaster. I really let you disappointed."

Looking at Wen Zhemao's unfamiliar face, the emperor's anger subsided slightly, his hands tightened subconsciously, his brows were deeply locked, and there was a bit of guilt and unbearable in his eyes.

However, these changes in the emperor fell into Wen Zhemao's eyes, which made him feel more ironic: "Back then, when the assassins were assassinating, my mother and concubine blocked the sword for you. When I was dying, I begged you to let me live a good life. It's you, promise mother Concubine, you will make me the crown prince and hand over this country to me."

"The results of it?"

Wen Zhemao asked, but did not expect to get the answer from the emperor.

Because the answer, as early as that year, the emperor had already told the people of the world with his actions.

"As a result, on the second day after my mother and concubine passed away, you named me the only daughter of the prime minister's mansion, made an exception and made a six-year-old me king, kicked me out of the palace, and built a mansion outside the palace."

"The six-year-old prince...heh, he is the object of ridicule by the rich and powerful in Kangdu!"

Wen Zhemao raised his voice and shouted angrily, his dark eyes were stained red, "That's all for the rich and powerful, even the lowly servants in the mansion dare to beat, scold and humiliate me! Why have you ever asked me?"

After venting his anger, Wen Zhemao's expression became silent again, and he just smiled coldly: "I should thank you for your noble hand. After I was pushed into the water by the Queen's men and almost drowned when I was ten years old, you sent me to Fo'an Temple to recuperate. I grew up steadily until I was 13."

"At the age of 13, the Nanman water bandits were vicious. Li Dingshan delayed dealing with the water bandits on the grounds of insufficient military pay, causing disasters for refugees in southern Xinjiang. You asked me to escort the military pay to southern Xinjiang. You said that you asked me to get acquainted with Li Dingshan and win them over Li Dingshan."

Wen Zhemao put his hand behind his back, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes again, and smiled slightly, "10 taels of silver was paid for the army, but only 5000 troops were sent to escort them. The victims in southern Xinjiang could drown us with a mouthful of spit. What's more, there are murderous water thieves!"

"Did you ever think I could live?"

For Wen Zhemao's questioning, the emperor felt even more guilty, but he still knew in his heart: "This is not the reason for you to kill your brother and father!"

The emperor stared deeply at Wen Zhemao's mocking eyes, "The Xu family has been prime ministers for three generations, and their roots are unshakable among the court officials. If I don't send you away, if I directly make you the crown prince, you won't even be seven years old." Can't survive!"

The emperor spoke the truth, but made Wen Zhemao's smile brighter.

But after a while, he seemed to have figured it out again, and lowered his head compromisingly: "I know, whether it's Xu Xiangfeng or Li Dingshan, a wolf is a wolf after all. You want the two wolves to fight and return the power to the royal family."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief: "Since you know..."

"But what does it matter to me?"

Wen Zhemao directly interrupted the emperor's speech.

He frowned and looked over, only to see Wen Zhemao's eyes full of indifference, and even the concealed smile had disappeared.

"It's fine with me, or with the third child, but it's just an introduction to provoke the two wolves to fight."

Wen Zhemao looked at the dissatisfied emperor calmly, "No matter who wins or loses, there is always a wolf behind him. People who stand in front of the wolf, if they want to avoid being eaten by the wolf, they can only let the wolf manipulate them. Different However, the youngest is not aware of wolves, his blood is involved, and his moral constraints make him not swing his sword at the wolf behind him even if he is full-fledged. And my mother and concubine's family is just a side branch of the Li family. When there is a chance, I will definitely wield my sword and completely eradicate the Li family."

The emperor was astonished, but soon felt relieved.

In the end, he is the child who most resembles him.

It's just a little gratifying, but because of his chilling behavior before, the dissatisfaction in the emperor's heart deepened: "Since you can see through this, you should understand and do nothing. Wait until I suppress the Xu family, and wait for Li Dingshan to be with you." Xu Xiangfeng will lose both sides in the fight, and the best situation is when I pass on to you. Instead of acting hastily, being calculated by others, and leaving a bad reputation! It's better not to rebel when you lose power for a while!"
