The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night

"Your Majesty, rumors are spreading all over Da Deng. Some say that the Crown Prince is blessed by the gods, and some say that the Third Prince is blessed by the gods. There are so many different opinions, it's hard to tell the truth!"

In the imperial study, Lord Zhou was somewhat worried.

The emperor's decree to appoint a crown prince came too quickly and too hastily, and many ordinary people did not react at all.

In addition, the crown prince has been seriously ill for many years, and it has been rumored among the people that the third prince is the candidate for the crown prince.

In recent years, the Third Prince and his maternal family have been building momentum for him among the people and winning over the hearts of the people.

In fact, there are far more people supporting the Third Prince than those supporting the Crown Prince. Now there are rumors that the Third Prince is blessed by gods.

The people of Da Deng believe in the gods very much, which may be bad for the prince!

"Yes, Your Majesty. Except for the area around Yanjing, the people in other places in the whole Deng have spread rumors that the prince has angered the gods. Only if the prince dies on the altar to apologize can the anger of the people be appeased."

The Minister of Finance Chen Zhongyi was somewhat worried. He had followed Emperor Wende for so many years and he naturally knew that Emperor Wende wanted the crown prince to inherit the throne, but the crown prince was unpopular among the people!

"Humph, although General Lin didn't follow the Lin family army to Linyue Country, he was not idle at all!"

Emperor Wende sat in front of the desk with a gloomy face, holding a stack of memorials in his hand. On them were all words from officials from various places requesting that the crown prince be deposed and that he die to apologize and appease the wrath of God!

"Let's see!"

Emperor Wende threw the thick stack of memorials in his hand to the ground!

Several old ministers looked at each other, then quickly picked up the memorial on the ground and started reading it.

“This…this…this…”

Lord Zhou and other old ministers looked at the blood-written letters of the people in their hands with unhappy expressions.

They really didn't expect that the third prince's reputation among the people was so high!

Emperor Wende kept rubbing his painful temple.

He was careless and too excited at the time, and he appointed Yier as the crown prince before he had time to build up momentum for him.

It was also his fault that he thought Yi'er didn't have much time left, so he turned a blind eye to the Third Prince's people's efforts to win over the hearts of the people.

In fact, deep down in his heart, he had already regarded the third prince as the future crown prince. He never expected that Yi'er's illness would suddenly heal.

But it’s too late to say anything now. How could the people’s will change so easily after so many years?

"Your Majesty, we can spread the news throughout the country, saying that there is an endless supply of food in Yanjing, and let all the disaster victims go to Yanjing!"

The Minister of Revenue pondered for a long time and suddenly his eyes lit up and he said to Emperor Wende.

"Now the victims have nothing to eat or drink, and the weather is cold. The victims near Yanjing are fine, but the victims far from Yanjing can't get to Yanjing at all."

Lord Zhou was still worried. The common people were starving and cold, so how could they travel thousands of miles to Yanjing?

I'm afraid they will all die on the way!

"How is the Third Prince's progress in Linyue Country?"

Emperor Wende was silent for a while and then suddenly asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of several old ministers became even more bitter!

"Your Majesty, now the people are saying that the Crown Prince deliberately framed the Third Prince and prevented the Xie family army from reinforcing the Lin family army. His purpose is to let the Third Prince and the Lin family army all die in Linyue Kingdom, so as to clear the obstacles for himself."

Lord Zhou had a bitter look on his face. Nowadays, ordinary people are so easy to be fooled. He knew who spread the rumor without him having to check.

"The Lin family is always using these little tricks!"

It's mean but it works!

"This third brother is really useless! He has gunpowder but he can't even defeat a small country like Linyue!"

Emperor Wende's head hurt even more when he thought of his 100,000 troops trapped in Linyue Kingdom!

I originally thought that with the existence of that incredible gunpowder, the Linyue Kingdom would be within my grasp!

Who would have thought that after such a long time, Feng Junqi still couldn't conquer Linyu Kingdom.

"The situation we are facing now is very serious. We originally wanted to take over Linyue Kingdom quickly while Yun Sheng was still not able to react."

"Even if Yun Sheng is dissatisfied, we have already controlled Linyue Kingdom. Now that we have been unable to conquer Linyu Kingdom for a long time, I am worried that Yun Sheng will take advantage of this situation and unite with Lu Kingdom to attack Da Deng. By then, Da Deng will be surrounded by enemies on all sides!"

Lord Zhou had a face full of worry. What could he do with the natural disasters and man-made disasters?

"Otherwise, we should send Xie Tingzhou to reinforce the Third Prince. Only by taking over Linyue Kingdom and showing the world the strength of our Great Deng can we make Yunsheng and Lu Kingdom afraid."

Minister of Revenue Chen Zhongyi frowned and thought for a long time before proposing.

Emperor Wende was a little shaken when he heard this, but he still didn't speak. Yier didn't want his father-in-law to go to Linyue Kingdom. If he sent Xie Tingzhou to Linyue Kingdom, would he be angry with him again and refuse to pay attention to him?

Emperor Wende recalled the look Feng Junyi had given him during this period of time. Those eyes were full of a child’s admiration for his father!

Just like the way he looked at himself when he was a child.

He really didn't want to do anything to make Yi'er unhappy. What if he ignored him again?

I still need to think about it again...

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! A secret letter from the prince!"

Just when Emperor Wende was hesitating, Jiang Debao came in hurriedly and handed a secret document to Emperor Wende.

Emperor Wende unfolded the letter and read it carefully. This was the first time his son wrote to him!

No greetings!

Didn't express any concern for him as an old father!

There was not even a single word about whether Feng Junyi was safe in Yanjing!

He simply wrote a few sentences, which roughly meant that Emperor Wende should not worry about the Lin family army and Linyue Kingdom, as he would handle it himself.

But the 10 Lin family soldiers belonged to him!

"This child has always been the most filial. He must have known that I was worried about the war in Linyue Country recently, so he came to help me solve my problems!"

Emperor Wende was filled with joy after reading it!

He read the secret letter in his hand again and again before handing it to Lord Zhou and asking them to take a look.

He is just like an old father showing off to everyone how filial his son is!

After reading it, Lord Zhou and others were stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment!

The prince actually openly asked the emperor for military power!

The emperor's focus was not on the 10 troops that the prince wanted from the Lin family, but he only noticed the prince's filial piety towards him!

Isn't the emperor afraid that the crown prince will become too powerful and attempt to usurp the throne?

“Your Majesty, although the Xie family army has not publicly stated it, they are definitely on the side of the crown prince. If the 10 troops of the Lin family army are given to the crown prince, then almost % of our Great Deng’s forces will belong to the crown prince. I’m afraid…I’m afraid there will be trouble!”

Lord Zhou thought about it again and again, but couldn't help but remind Emperor Wende tactfully.

"No! Master Xuankong said that the prince is a person blessed by the gods. People who are blessed by the gods have high moral character and would never do such a thing as killing his father and usurping the throne!"

Emperor Wende looked confident. He knew what Lord Zhou was worried about, but he still believed in what Master Xuankong said.

Besides, Feng Junyi was raised by him, and he knows this child's personality best!

What a good boy!

He always remembered that when the prince was two years old, he ate a particularly delicious pastry, and the prince specially left a piece for him, which he always protected so that no one could touch it.

She waited until he was done with his court before happily walking with her short legs to stuff the cake into his mouth, looking at him with sparkling eyes and asking him if it tasted good...

How could such a good boy kill him?
