Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

Although the old and frail last prince in front of him was full of sincerity, there was not a trace of falsehood on his face.

The emperor's first reaction was to question, "Returning to one's roots?" Would the former prince want something so simple?

Shouldn't we re-establish the previous dynasty and bring glory to our ancestors?

Then, the emperor couldn't help but secretly sneer that if he wanted to re-establish the previous dynasty, he must at least be able to gather the various northern tribes!

But if the identity of the last crown prince could unite the people, then how could the last emperor of the previous dynasty fail to summon reinforcements from various forces and die in battle in the capital?

Damage has been done and it is impossible to undo what has been done. The various tribes that split apart more than fifty years ago will now have no chance of moving forward in unison under the call of the last prince!

The last prince is already in his twilight years and it would be difficult for him to live another hundred days... Whether he is willing or not, he can only give up his unrealistic fantasies.

From this perspective, the last prince's goal is to return to his roots, which is reasonable...

However, this pursuit was contrary to the emperor's usual pursuit, and it caused waves in Chu Tianming's heart, and an inexplicable sadness... But in a flash, he suppressed it again!

Seriguleng has settled for second best and pursues a humble self because his grand ambitions have lost hope!

But the emperor of Daxia, Chu Tianming, is different!

His thoughts returned to a cold state in a few breaths, and the emperor focused his energy on Daxia's plan. If the living last crown prince could be fully utilized, he would be ten or a hundred times better than a dead body...

However, even though the worry is small, we still have to be on guard. We need to put 'shackles' on the last prince to prevent him from using the extraordinary power of divination to destroy the long-term plan!

"Your father's body has been buried in the Wanshi Garden in the south of the capital. Above the tomb is a 40,000-jin Taishan stone."

The emperor's voice was calm, but his cruelty and ruthlessness were undisguised!

Being good at understanding people's hearts means being able to easily grasp the weaknesses in other people's hearts. Since the last prince cares about the root cause, it is impossible for him to be indifferent to his deceased father!

This is heartbreaking.

Even though he had anticipated the possible situation, Serji Guleng could no longer maintain his composure... His wrinkled face couldn't help but tremble, revealing an unconcealable sense of humiliation!

His father was suppressed under the Taishan stone!

How could Seriguleng, who has spent his entire life studying the mysteries, not understand?! This is to make their clan unable to turn over a new leaf!

The father who often took him back to the grassland in spring, where he could bend his bow and shoot arrows and gallop freely! He was pressed down by a stone for more than 50 years!

The old man's pain was recorded in the emperor's cold and auspicious eyes.

"I can issue an edict to release your father, but will he return to his hometown with your soul, or will he be crushed to dust and scattered?"

"I will obey the will of heaven...May Your Majesty show mercy..."

The old man's gray head drooped, and his frail body leaned forward on the wooden chair. Although he was unable to kneel down due to his legs, his trembling voice expressed his submission...

The emperor lowered his eyes slightly and agreed without commenting.

After some arguments, the goal was achieved. The last prince would become a chess piece at the mercy of others, but Chu Tianming did not feel much joy in his heart... How many times has he used human hearts to manipulate others?

Chu Tianming knew that people would always be bound by selfish desires, so when he decided to seize power, he abandoned these.

He saw through the weaknesses of Daxia’s first two generations, his father and Taizu. It was because he saw through his own father’s weaknesses that he was able to easily…replace him.

If Taizu could be brought to the position of the enemy, Chu Tianming would be confident that he could gradually change the situation!

Chu Tianming believed it! An emperor who ruled the world should be cold-hearted! The prosperity of Daxia in the past twenty years can prove it!

But, is he a special case?

Intentionally or unintentionally, Chu Tianming was looking for references...

There were not many people in a similar position to him, and he could not know the state of mind of the ancient emperors from their writings...

In the past, all I could see were the sons I had shaped with my own hands, but now they are all different and a little different... Chu Shiyu, who was originally the closest to me, suddenly went against him because of a woman!

And now, Chu Tianming is a little confused...

The prince of a fallen country has no worries. After going through so much hardship, shouldn't his heart be as calm as a rock? Most Taoists yearn to become immortals. Since Seriguleng has achieved success in his cultivation, shouldn't his heart be as calm as water?

Chu Tianming could see that Seriguleng still had some pride in his heart. He was submissive on the surface but unwilling to submit. Even if he knelt down just now under pressure, it was just a superficial gesture like Liu...

Is it so easy for Seriguleng to humble himself for a corpse that has been dead for more than fifty years?

Chu Tianming knew that, in secular terms, the kindness of parents was greater than heaven... However, Chu Tianming also believed that many so-called filial piety were just the result of governing the world with Confucianism. Being at the top of the mountain was a different set of rules!

The strong prey on the weak! The winner takes all! There is no mercy for the winners and losers!

孝？

The tiger king will eventually grow old and weak, and will be replaced by a strong and mature tiger! And naturally, he would rather have his own bloodline take over as the tiger king than an outsider!

Fierce beasts will not give up the forests they rule. Otherwise, a weak tiger will be defeated by outsiders in the future! Defeating the tiger king is the tiger's path to enlightenment!

Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs, but it doesn’t mean that it expects the tiger’s cubs to be filial! Rather, it means…

In an instant, he suppressed some thoughts.

Chu Tianming was still focused on superficial thinking. He originally thought that Confucianism had backfired on its users, causing many emperors to fall into empty filial piety and leave behind many troubles!

But the previous dynasty was a foreign tribe from the north, and was not influenced by Confucianism. Although the Taoism practiced by Seriguleng also emphasized kindness and filial piety, it was not very rule-abiding, and was more about following one's will...

Under all circumstances, Seriguleng still respected the tyrant who was responsible for the demise of the previous dynasty?

Even if he was thinking about it, a dead body could make him let go of his last bit of pride...

Thousands of thoughts are but a moment.

"Since you know the current situation, you will be put to use in the next two days. You are not a fool, you should know what to do."

The emperor did not see any falsehood in Serrigul's cold face, and was confident that in his hands, the last prince would not be a threat to Daxia.

"But there are priorities. Ultimately, I want you to appear on the Mobei grassland. If you are unable to do so, you can save your energy on the minor matters."

The setting sun was dim, the palace lanterns were lit early, and the figure outlined by the light stood up, thin but revealing the majesty of the yellow robe... As usual, the emperor did not have the energy to spend a long time on one thing.

The old man's suddenly penetrating eyes calmed down a little, and his wrinkled lips curled up a little: "When I entered the Great Xia Palace, I told His Majesty that I came here to correct mistakes, report news, and congratulate you."

The black-soled gold boots took a step forward, then paused. The wrinkled phoenix eyes looked back coldly, giving the old man only a chance to speak briefly.

"Humans are still human after all. If you follow the Way of Heaven as a mortal, you will definitely consume your essence and shorten your lifespan... Your Majesty will die in two years."

The old man chuckled, his expression unclear in the interweaving of sunlight and light.

The emperor's face was filled with emotion and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, he still looked at the last prince coldly.

The two eunuchs, however, were briefly shocked, and then they shouted angrily, "How dare you! You are pretending to be a ghost and taking this opportunity to curse! You deserve to die!"

If the emperor passes away, it is not certain whether the concubines will be buried with him!

These eunuchs and palace maids who were close to them would most likely be buried alive with the emperor! Buried alive in the imperial mausoleum! Hearing the old Taoist's prediction of death, the two eunuchs felt as if the sky had fallen!

"stop."

The angry curses and the hands that were about to grab the old man's collar should all be put away by Tianyin.

With a panting breath, but a cheerful expression on his face, Seriguleng said intermittently: "Congratulations, Your Majesty... You have turned misfortune into fortune... You have avoided the death calamity that was two years away..."

"I've avoided it, what else is there to say?" The emperor said in a light tone, and took another step forward, but his cold eyes remained.

"Of course I want to...congratulate..."

A streak of blood flowed out of his wrinkled pale mouth, and Seriguleng laughed heartily and uttered fragmented words...

"You have escaped death... Your Majesty... Even if you cannot live to be a hundred years old... You can still live to be over eighty years old... You can still protect Daxia for another forty years... A prosperous era..."
