Chapter 46 The Princess Takes the Blame and is Granted Death (46)

Looking at the newly delivered urgent memorial, especially after reading the contents, Emperor Tianwu's hands were shaking. At this moment, he could no longer deceive himself.

Feels like it's over.

His son, Prince Lu, was killed in public at the Temple of Heaven. This was just the beginning, not the end!
In an instant, Emperor Tianwu seemed to have aged ten years, and his energy and spirit were a little decadent. Even when he was conquering the world and faced a siege of 30,000 people with 5,000 people, he had never felt so powerless and helpless, because at least he knew who the enemy was at that time, but now he was confused.

I don’t even know who the other person is.

How can we respond?

At the same time, although Emperor Tianwu knew that this matter could not be concealed for long and that all the civil and military officials in the court would know about it within a few hours, he did not summon all the officials to discuss it again, or call together important officials for a small meeting.

Firstly, I don’t want my son to be judged by them.

Secondly, he could see that the officials did not take this matter seriously, and even thought that it was their family affair. They were not very willing to cooperate, so there was no point in calling them over.

So after thinking for a long time, Emperor Tianwu had no choice but to call his eldest son, the crown prince, over.

Prepare for a private discussion between father and son.

Who would have thought that before the prince arrived, another memorial was submitted from the Ministry of Personnel. It was delivered by local officials from the Prince of Qi's fiefdom at full speed. That place was slightly closer to the capital, and even if Ding Shui arrived later, their memorial would have arrived one after the other with the memorial from the Prince of Han's fiefdom.

The memorial from Prince Jin would probably arrive later, after all, that place was the farthest away, and Ding Shui was the last one to arrive.

Until Emperor Tianwu finished reading the newly submitted memorial.

The prince hurried over.

"No need to salute. Come and take a look at these two memorials. All other irrelevant people can leave for now."

Emperor Tianwu was in no mood to care about etiquette. He asked the crown prince to read the memorial quickly while clearing the room. So while the eunuchs and maids knelt down and saluted and then quietly left, the crown prince Zhu Quan still insisted on performing a simple salute before going forward to check.

The fate of the crown princes in all dynasties has been very tortuous.

Crown Prince Zhu Quan, who had read a lot of history books, tried his best to avoid doing things that were against the rules on weekdays, no matter how troublesome it was.

To prevent his father from being displeased with him and finding fault with him one day.

After all, the emperor is really different from his father. When his father likes him, he will probably just laugh it off even if he wears a dragon robe. But if he dislikes him, thinks he is a threat, or gets angry, he may suspect that he wants to abdicate if he looks at his father for even more.

Only by refraining from presumptuous conduct can one avoid being criticized!

The contents of the two memorials were not long, but the information they revealed was quite shocking. So after a while, Crown Prince Zhu Quan felt his scalp tingling and cold sweats broke out on his back after reading them. Their worries from the past few days had really come true.

King Lu was just the beginning.

Other princes who committed illegal acts could not escape.

"What do you think?"

Facing the Emperor Tianwu's question, Zhu Quan really wanted to roll his eyes. What could he do? These brothers were either not his biological brothers, or they were not trying to show brotherly love and respect in front of his father. Just based on what they had done.

He should have been cut into pieces long ago.

What he was more worried about at this time was that in the past few years, in order to show brotherly love and respect to his younger brothers in front of his father, he had often pleaded for those younger brothers who were princes and had committed crimes and were impeached by the censors. He didn't know whether this was considered a crime and whether he would be implicated and found guilty.

But even if he didn't beg for mercy, his father would never take action against his brothers unless he begged for mercy.

He would be the one who would suffer. His brothers would blame him for being too cruel, and worry that he would treat them badly after ascending the throne, or even kill them all. His father would also think that since he was such a big brother before ascending the throne, how could he treat his brothers well after he ascended the throne?

By then, I'm afraid I'll be unpopular both inside and outside.

Even the position of the crown prince may be shaken.

So he really had to beg for mercy.

If that unknown existence still comes to find me like this, wouldn’t it be too unfair to deal with him?
The confused Crown Prince Zhu Quan simply ignored his father's questions. Emperor Tianwu didn't know that he had so many thoughts in his mind, but he thought it was understandable that his son didn't know how to answer for a while.

After all, he himself didn't know what to do:
"Alas, the fiefs of the Eighth and Ninth Brothers were over a thousand miles apart, yet they were attacked on almost the same day, with the same process as the Heavenly Sacrifice. The memorials said the noise was so loud that almost everyone in the city heard it.

I guess they didn't have time to investigate in detail.

I immediately reported the situation.

After a detailed investigation, it may be similar to the situation in the capital. Even a deaf person can hear that strange sound, which is not a sound that human ears can hear.

That's why there was a gap of several hours in between.

If it was done by a force.

We can definitely arrange for the same time.”

Since his son was not helpful and remained silent, Emperor Tianwu could only analyze the situation himself based on the known information.

Fortunately, by this time, the prince had recovered.

After pondering for a long time, he said:
"Father, it's possible. In fact, your guess is wrong. It's not some rebel force, such as the White Lotus Sect, that's manipulating all this. It's just one person, a person who is like a god or a devil, who is doing this. Although I don't know how she did it.

But if it's a person.

Some of the information is much more reasonable.

You see, she had always said that she would enforce justice on behalf of Heaven, not that they would enforce justice on behalf of Heaven. Perhaps she meant only one person. Because there was only one person, not a huge force, she simply couldn't deal with the Eighth and Ninth Brothers at the same time.

Only after harming my eighth brother.

Then he turned around and went to harm his ninth brother.

She may be very fast, much faster than we can imagine, and can travel a thousand miles in just a few hours.

Legends and myths speak of immortals who can catch the moon with clouds, shrink the earth to an inch, or even allow souls to travel three thousand miles at night. Although I haven't seen any of these, since they exist, I think they can be true. She already has so many magical abilities, so it's not surprising that she can walk faster.

Now I feel a little like she is an ordinary person who suddenly gained magical powers like an immortal.

If we infer along this line of thought.

She was the first one to attack the Thirteenth Brother, and she also took her anger out on the Emperor and his mother because of the Thirteenth Brother. So I have a bold guess, which is whether it can be considered that she was once harmed by the Thirteenth Brother but survived, or that her relatives were killed by the Thirteenth Brother.

That's why she would attack her thirteenth brother first.

The original purpose should be revenge.

Of course, it's also possible that one of those people you, Your Majesty, convicted and killed in order to exonerate Thirteenth Brother has escaped, or perhaps their family, relatives, or friends have had a fortuitous encounter and want to help with revenge."
