Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life

The King of Qi looked at the people approaching and suddenly laughed out loud with his head raised.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

He laughed so hard that tears welled up in his eyes, and his laughter was mixed with uncontrollable madness and deep resentment.

The people around looked at each other, no one interrupted, just watched quietly.

Even after he had laughed enough and gradually calmed down, there was still a sense of heaviness and depression in the air.

At this time, the emperor spoke, his voice revealing a hint of majesty: "Fourth Brother, you disappoint me so much. Are you so eager to take my position?"

His eyes were stern as he stared straight into the eyes of the King of Qi.

"You have been smart since you were young, and you often bully your brothers, but you can still get away with it, and they are the ones who are punished.

So, I thought...if I give this position to you in the future, that would be a good idea.

At least a wise emperor always cares about the people and the country."

When the King of Qi heard this, he could not help but retort: ​​"But then you valued the fifth brother again."

His tone was full of resentment.

“I couldn’t bully Laowu anymore since he was seven years old.

So, you think Lao Wu is smarter than me and more suitable for that position, right? "

The emperor shook his head in disappointment: "No, your opportunities are the same, I give you equal opportunities.

But look at what you have done.

Look at the people around you. Do you think that if you catch something wrong with them, you can use them to your advantage and make money for you?

But have you ever thought about who you are?

Are you doing this to the soldiers and civilians on the border?"

The emperor concluded with disappointment: "You... don't deserve this position."

The emperor's words were like a sharp blade that cut through the King of Qi's fig leaf, making him feel embarrassed and ashamed, but also a little dissatisfied.

He said angrily: "I will deal with them later..."

The emperor raised his hand to stop him, "One wrong step, all wrong.

When you were little, I taught you to consider the consequences of doing things and see if they are something you can bear."

The emperor paused here, stared deeply at the King of Qi, and his tone became more severe: "Now, let me ask you, have you thought about the consequences?"

The King of Qi had a dazed and confused look on his face. He stammered, "Father..."

The voice was hoarse and weak, filled with infinite fear and anxiety.

The emperor stared at him, disappointment in his eyes: "No, right?"

"Yes!" The King of Qi finally confessed, his tone mixed with regret and helplessness.

“I thought I had planned it well and had run through it countless times without any problems.

But in the end, I still lost to Lao Wu."

The King of Qi's eyes gradually dimmed, and all the confidence and arrogance he once had would eventually vanish into thin air at this moment.

The emperor took one last look at the King of Qi and said in a stern voice, "Come here, send the King of Qi and his men to the Heavenly Prison and keep them under strict guard."

"Yes, Wei Chen takes the order."

After the emperor finished speaking, a military general stepped forward and took orders.

Immediately afterwards, the general waved his hand, and a row of soldiers came forward, escorting the distraught King of Qi and several trembling ministers away.

King Cheng looked at the soldiers brought by King Qi, frowned and asked, "Father, what should we do with these soldiers?"

The emperor did not answer him, but turned to look at King Xuan and asked, "What do you think?" His tone was still majestic, but it contained a kind of expectation.

King Xuan replied respectfully: "Father, I think we can first detain the generals inside.

As for the soldiers, I suggest that they be disbanded and reorganized into the Xishan Camp so that they can be better managed."

After hearing this, the emperor nodded and said approvingly: "I'll leave this matter to you to supervise and supervise it!"

"Yes, Father."

King Xuan immediately accepted the order, with a faint smile on his face.

He knew that his father was asking him to win over the hearts of the people in a legitimate way!

At this time, the emperor turned to look at King Cheng, sighed, and said with a hint of helplessness: "Did you hear that? You should learn to use your brain!"

King Cheng moved his mouth, and although he wanted to explain, he only replied, "I know, father."

He felt a little depressed. He must be disliked! Right!

Actually, he is quite smart! Most of the time, he is just too lazy to argue.

After all, he really just wanted to be a leisurely prince.

At this time, the emperor ordered: "Old Fifth, you will be in charge of the follow-up of this matter!

Tomorrow I will see a list of the general participants."

After saying that, he slowly turned his head and looked at King Cheng, his eyes showing a hint of expectation and instruction, "You should also go and assist and learn a little."

"Your sons obey your orders." The two of them bowed hurriedly.

"Okay, go ahead, I'm going back to the palace."

Then he said to the ministers around him, "You can also stay in the palace tonight!" There was a sense of authority in his words, as if they could not be questioned.

"Yes, I obey my orders."

Several ministers responded immediately. They knew in their hearts that they were insiders and they obviously could not leave until the matter was settled.

After the emperor finished speaking, he turned and left.

King Xuan looked at the depressed King Cheng, patted him on the shoulder in a good mood, and said: "You are usually too wise to be foolish!"

After saying this, he ignored the shocked King Cheng and just followed the emperor's footsteps.

The emperor heard the footsteps of Prince Xuan chasing after him, stopped and looked back, frowning slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone: "Why are you following me if you don't want to do anything?"

King Xuan glanced at his clothes and replied helplessly: "I will go change my clothes."

The emperor glanced at him and said, "It's a bit inappropriate to wear such an outfit when going out to work.

But this color looks good on you, I'll have someone make one for you someday."

After the emperor dropped this thunderbolt, he took Zhang Desheng away.

The people who heard these words stood there and looked at each other.

"Has the emperor decided to make Prince Xuan the crown prince?"

One of the old ministers broke the silence first, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

At this time, King Cheng came over with a bright smile on his face. He patted King Xuan on the shoulder, his tone revealing sincerity and joy.

"Congratulations, Fifth Brother."

There was no falsehood in his words; it was obvious that he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

King Xuan smiled, but he remained calm and responded, "You should wait until the imperial edict is issued before you can express your congratulations!"

There are always variables until the final conclusion, so we should not take it lightly.

Then, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to King Cheng, "Take people to arrest these people first, and have people surround the mansion first."

King Cheng took the paper and took a look at it. The name on it made him raise his eyebrows and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

"Oh, there are several acquaintances here."

The ministers around also gathered together and pricked up their ears to hear more information.

But King Cheng didn't give them this opportunity. He put away the paper, waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Fifth brother, I'll go first. You should hurry up too!"

Having said that, he walked away quickly.
