Time travel is risky, and love requires caution
Chapter 147 A good cat is one that catches mice
In fact, Pei Chufeng was not intentionally avoiding Ling Qiqi these days, he was really busy. The Southern Emperor had just recovered from a serious illness, and there was a lot of work to be done. Pei Chufeng was worried that his father was too busy, so he stayed by his side to handle government affairs.
After waking up, the Southern Emperor has been cleaning up the mess left by the Second Prince. Fortunately, the Third Prince Pei Chufeng had already dealt with most of it, so he doesn't need to worry too much.
What made him anxious was the trouble caused by Pei Chufeng and the Seventh Princess. It was outrageous that he, the monarch of a country, had to verify his identity.
In order to prove that he was the real Emperor Nan Shen, he spent a lot of effort and was often interrogated by his own ministers. However, he was not angry at all and even rewarded those cautious ministers generously.
But it was fortunate that Pei Chufeng and the Seventh Princess were so outrageous, otherwise who knows what would have happened to Nan Shen.
Such an outrageous idea definitely wasn't thought up by Feng'er, it must have been the seventh princess of Beiwei.
The Southern Emperor later summoned the Seventh Princess alone, and what did the Seventh Princess say to him so brazenly?
"When the false is made to appear true, the true becomes false; when the true is made to appear false, the false becomes true."
How could this sentence sound like something said by a profiteer? There was no dignity and grace that a prince or princess should have. Feng'er actually accompanied her to take the risk. I really didn't know whether to praise him for his courage or scold him for being reckless and ignorant.
The seventh princess also said that a real man should not be so fussy about trivial matters.
Is this a minor section? This is a major section.
But the seventh princess argued that she was not a real man anyway, and who defined "chastity" and "righteousness" and who made the distinction between big and small.
She felt that only when faced with danger could one understand the great principles, and only when one sacrificed one's life could one understand the great justice.
She risked her life to help the Third Prince, risking her own life to save the Southern Emperor from danger. She should be considered a heroine and a heroine.
What's more, for some things, we should not only look at the process but also the result. It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.
Especially when it comes to major issues of right and wrong, if you are too pedantic, you will just be like a rat getting beaten and waiting to die.
She wanted to ask Nan Di, given their situation at the time, if Nan Di could come up with a better solution?
She believed that the Southern Emperor would not be so ignorant as to not distinguish right from wrong or repay kindness with enmity, and would not treat her like a little girl. If the Southern Emperor had to punish someone, then he must be fair and punish the third prince as well. The ministers headed by Master Xia were also accomplices.
As for the great witch doctor who offended the Southern Emperor, he was only coerced by her and the Third Prince, not on his own will. If we talk about the crime, it is not the great witch doctor, but she and the Third Prince. Through this incident, it can be seen that the great witch doctor is a rare treasure, who can defeat thousands of troops alone, and is also the Third Prince's master, and is loyal to the Third Prince. The Southern Emperor should not cut off his own arm.
The Southern Emperor was speechless. He didn't understand how the Northern Emperor could have given birth to such a treasure. She should be the real treasure.
But this precedent cannot be set. If anyone dares to pretend to be an emperor in the future, that would be disastrous.
But he couldn't punish Feng'er and the Seventh Princess, so he, the emperor, had to take the blame for the fake.
In order to help Feng'er and the Seventh Princess to complete this outrageous lie, the Southern Emperor could only say that it was all his idea. It was during his brief lucid state that he ordered someone to secretly send a letter to the Third Prince, asking him to act according to the plan. First, it forced the Second Prince to hand him over. Second, it gave the Third Prince a chance to fight the Second Prince face to face. Third, it also allowed him to see the loyalty of the ministers. He believed that good prevailed over evil, that the law of heaven was far-reaching, that only when the waves washed away the sand could the true nature of gold be revealed, and that only when the strong "wind" destroyed the forest could the good trees be seen. Now this "Feng" had finally lived up to his trust, and the Emperor was very relieved.
Although the third prince and the seventh princess were able to get away with it, doing so was tantamount to tying the second prince to the sword.
Although it was not unfair for the second prince to be tied up and put on the knife stand ten thousand times, he was his own son after all, and he could not bear it.
The Southern Emperor went to the Heavenly Prison to meet Pei Chuyun.
Pei Chuyun was imprisoned, and in just a few days, he had completely lost his former heroic spirit.
The person he least wanted to see now was his father. Rather than letting his father see his embarrassment, it would be better to give him a quick death by just killing him with a knife.
Emperor Nan Shen asked through the thick and cold grille of the cell:
"Yun'er, now that things have come to this, do you have anything else to say?"
"I wanted to prove it to you, Father, but unfortunately I failed. Success makes you a king, and failure makes you a bandit. I have already been defeated miserably, and I have nothing to say."
"Do you have any regrets?"
"Regret? What I regret most is being the son of the emperor, but I have never been cared for by him. I am not as good as my brother, the crown prince, who is the most watched. I am not as good as my third brother, who is weak and therefore carefully cared for. I am not even as good as Ah Ran, who is naughty and willful but is loved and spoiled. No matter how hard I try and how well I do, I can only be a foil to my brothers and sisters."
"So you just killed them?"
"It was not my intention to kill them, but I was forced to do so by the situation."
"Your so-called situation is nothing but your anger after the truth was revealed. You actually raised private soldiers, which clearly shows that you are plotting to usurp the throne. You are so treasonous that you are not worthy of being a minister, let alone a son."
"I am not worthy. I have never been worthy in your heart." Pei Chuyun's eyes were red as blood, and he shouted hysterically, "Even if the crown prince is not my brother, father will not choose me but my third brother, right?"
"Yes, but have you ever wondered why?"
"Why, I also want to know why, why can't I do it, why!"
"You are paranoid, irritable, and easily influenced by others. Although you have the ability to handle things, you don't have the capacity to tolerate others, let alone the ability to save yourself. You can shock people but it's difficult to convince them. If I hand over Nan Shen to you, the fate of the country will be worrying. It's not that my father doesn't value you, but that Nan Shen can't have a crown prince like you. I am not an ordinary father, but I must put national affairs first in everything. Even if I go against my conscience and feel guilty towards my relatives, I must be worthy of the people of Nan Shen. But I didn't choose you, not because I don't love you. You are my child. In my heart, you are the same as Qing'er, Feng'er and Ran'er."
Nandi sighed and continued:
"It was my fault. I shouldn't have let you lead the troops. You have been brave and aggressive since you were young. I saw that you were a martial artist, so I wanted to train you in the art of using troops and fighting. If you and Qing'er were both good at literature and martial arts, my Nan Shen would be safe. But you are greedy for fame and gain. I have wanted to take back the military power several times, but I still have hope for you. Who can be a perfect person? As long as you brothers are of one mind, there is nothing to worry about. But you, ah~, you disappoint me so much."
Pei Chuyun calmed down, carefully savoring his father's words, and he didn't even know when the Southern Emperor left.
