The emperor was puzzled: "I believe that I treat you brothers the same. As your elder brother, I always treat you with respect. How can I treat you badly?"

The prince was even more angry now: "What's so good about it?"

He questioned angrily, his face almost distorted: "Father, look at my face, which brother can compare to me?"

He has an average appearance, but is far inferior to the other brothers, and even the eldest prince, who looks a little older because he is the oldest.

Old Emperor: “…”

Is it my fault for this?

The eldest prince asked angrily again: "Father, I consider myself to be a filial son. Why haven't you given me the position of crown prince yet?"

The old emperor had something to say: "I see that you are not serious about it. You are not only good at both civil and military affairs, but you are also not happy with the hard work and fatigue.

When you were asked to practice martial arts, you said someone would protect you. When you were asked to study literature, you said you didn’t need to take the imperial examinations, just being able to read was enough.”

The prince angrily asked, "Isn't that so? Why should I study like others and suffer so much?"

The old emperor continued calmly and unhurriedly: "When you grow up, you will be the first one to enter the court, but you will not do the tasks assigned to you carefully."

The eldest prince immediately said, "Isn't it all done well?" He believed that he was still capable.

The old emperor said bluntly: "It was all done by the subordinates, or your father-in-law helped you to get away with it."

There are so many people watching here, and the prince feels a little embarrassed when talking about this.

He shouted, "Shut up! Anyway, I have done it. I... am the son of a prince and an emperor. I don't need to do it myself. There will be people who will do it for me."

Hearing this, the old emperor sighed and said, "You didn't study hard when you were young. If you take a look at history, you will know that people in the Jin Dynasty also thought so.

This led to many officials following suit, leaving all government affairs to their subordinates and living a carefree life. The people in that period lived the hardest life.

The old emperor looked at the eldest prince again. He had many sons. Why should he take the risk of losing his reputation and the destruction of his kingdom by choosing someone who was afraid of hardship and only cared about enjoying himself to be the emperor?

Someone who didn’t like studying when he was young, will love reviewing memorials when he grows up?

Realizing that the old emperor really had no intention of letting him inherit the throne, the eldest prince did not care. Instead, he was in a good mood. He was about to succeed in his rebellion.

"In short, I am the eldest son. According to the ancestral etiquette, the throne belongs to me. Father, please abdicate and let someone more capable take over!"

When he ascends the throne, I will let my father see with his own eyes that he is the most suitable candidate to be emperor.

Thinking of this, the prince made up his mind: "Come here, take these people down!"

As soon as those soldiers in black armor moved, the faces of everyone present changed.

Can't Your Majesty think of another solution?

“No need to bother”

The old emperor stood there calmly: "Look outside"

Look outside?

The prince looked outside and saw that more palace guards had surrounded the soldiers he brought with him.

His pupils shrank suddenly: "How could it be..."

"Why are there so many? Or why are they here?"

The old emperor asked back.

The eldest prince couldn't believe it and pointed at the old emperor: "Father, you know everything. Are you kidding me?"

"All right"

The old emperor impatiently sat down again, his old body still standing tall, and waved his hand and said, "I am not your caring mother-in-law, I don't have time to listen to you, pull him down."

"Temporarily detained"

King Zhao stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Yes, Father."

Then he looked at the eldest prince, his attitude as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened: "Brother, please..."

The eldest prince felt like he had something stuck in his throat when he saw this half-brother who was more capable, better looking and younger than him.

He didn't want to leave so sadly, and he was also unconvinced in his heart: "Why aren't you surprised?"

King Zhao stated the facts: "Brother, I knew about this in advance, and the guards were also recruited in advance."

"When?"

"When you went to Jingren Palace, didn't my royal brother receive the news?" Prince Zhao felt a little puzzled. As someone who was planning to force the emperor to abdicate, did you really care about this matter?

Seeing his genuinely doubtful look, the prince choked.

“…I know.”

After that, he asked again: "Don't you want to ask me why I want to abdicate? Do you know how good my father's health is? He can actually live another twenty years!"

He emphasized: "Now we can still fight till late at night every night!"

What’s the use even if you perform well?

By the time your father dies, you will have become an old maggot!

By the time the throne is passed on to me, it is likely that a new group of people will have already been replaced.

Thinking of this, the prince suddenly felt a sense of pleasure as if he had taken revenge.

His eyes were full of satisfaction as he looked towards King Zhao.

The purpose of choosing to announce this news in public is to make others feel unhappy.

Everyone present: "..."

They looked at the old emperor's figure, then at the old emperor's expression... well, they didn't dare to look at him any longer.

Can this really last another twenty years?

It might work?

King Zhao was speechless. Who told this idiot this message?

The Peach Concubine and the Apricot Concubine?

The prince pretended to be cool and walked out of the palace. When he was halfway there, someone suddenly whispered, "Ah! So it was uncle who brought the poison into the palace?

How on earth was he brought into the palace? Why didn't anyone ask?"

Because there was no crown prince, only underage and unmarried princes lived in the palace.

The second young master also shook his head and whispered, "I don't know, maybe there is a secret recipe?"

King Lie also whispered with them, "Could it be stuffed into the body, and then taken out after entering the palace?"

The three children were confused and looked at King Lie at the same time: "We didn't understand."

“I don’t understand this!”

King Lie was in high spirits and was particularly enthusiastic in being a teacher.

He closed the fan in his hand and planned to talk to them carefully: "It's just over there..."

The voices were not loud, but the scene was quiet at the time and many people heard it.

Everyone held their breath and pricked up their ears to listen to Prince Lie's opinions.

The eldest prince finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Little bastard, Lao Si! Stop talking nonsense!"

Couldn't he have been brought in by special means?

If he became emperor, the first thing he would do would be to chop off this little bastard.

Hearing his words, King Lie curled his lips and said, "Brother, I was just talking casually, don't be so stingy."

The prince stared at him and said, "Don't say anything!"

King Lie whispered: "Big Brother is so domineering"

Ruirui's eyes lit up, he knew how to respond!

"Fourth uncle, you complain with your mouth, but deep down in your heart, do you really like this kind of domineering behavior?" He read that this is what was written in the book written by the court physician.

King Lie was petrified instantly.

What? Don't talk nonsense, little brat!
