Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 561

Cen Yuan then went on to recount several cases of treacherous ministers bringing harm to the country and the people, which made Emperor Mingde so angry that veins popped out on his hands.

Cen Yuan said sadly, "In the end, even the most dissolute young men in the capital went to the battlefield! They defended the country with their blood and built the city defense with their lives. Unfortunately, the enemy still managed to get outside the capital! The North Wing is in danger."

Emperor Mingde was shocked and couldn't help asking, "When I die, who will succeed me?"

Cen Yuan nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, you were poisoned by Cang Mo and died in just three days. You personally designated the next king to take over the throne. Guess who it is?"

Emperor Mingde's face turned black.

It’s not because they are discussing his own “death”, but because the next monarch he personally designated to pass the throne to is a bastard who brings disaster to the country and the people.

He said angrily, "It can't be the King of Jin!"

In his opinion, he was not so blind as to pass the throne to the King of Jin. It was because the King of Jin was not smart enough for him.

Until now, he has never thought of training King Jin.

But Cen Yuan said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you got it right. It's Prince Jin!"

"Impossible!" Emperor Mingde rejected it outright. "That kid is so stupid, how could I hand over the Northern Wing to him? I would hand it over to the Fourth Brother, not to him! Your dream! Doesn't count!"

Cen Yuan lowered her head embarrassedly.

He couldn't say that it was Xia Xia and I who were so outstanding, and that we had handled many successful cases, solved floods, eliminated banditry, and put forward many useful suggestions and opinions, and that all of these should be blamed on King Jin.

This is why you mistakenly believe that Prince Jin is a promising talent and that it is safest to entrust the country to him.

As a mature time traveler and reborn person, shirking responsibility is a necessary skill. He said, "Is it possible that you were deceived by the sweet words of the Queen Mother and thought that Prince Jin was very good..."

Before he could finish, Emperor Mingde flatly denied it, "Impossible! How can I, as the father, not know how powerful the Prince of Jin is?"

"Maybe he became confused after being poisoned?" He continued to shift the blame.

"Is it...?" Emperor Mingde was a little uncertain. After all, he had never been poisoned in his life, so how could he know what it would be like if he was poisoned.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he found a trace of guilt and uneasiness in Cen Yuan's eyes.

He sat up straight suddenly, "I know! I know! It's you! It's Shi Anxia!"

He got it! He got it!

Shi Anxia is the Phoenix Girl of Heaven! Because of this, the Queen Mother must have tried every means to get Shi Anxia into the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

Then this silly boy in front of him did things for Shi Anxia just because he liked her. Once this boy took action, with his mental skills, could he be any worse?

So he mistakenly believed that those were Prince Jin's ideas, and felt that Prince Jin had become smart and wise after experiencing more time.

Emperor Mingde cursed loudly in his heart and was extremely angry.

He looked at Cen Yuan carefully again.

But seeing that this boy has a full forehead, a straight nose bridge, and clear eyes, he is truly a rare and outstanding person.

Cen Yuan did not shirk responsibility, and his expression was unnatural for a moment. He did not expect Emperor Mingde to react so quickly, and guessed the general idea in the blink of an eye.

He said in a low voice, "That's your own fault for not checking it out before passing on the throne!"

Humph, don't try to put the blame on yourself!

Emperor Mingde stared at him, "What is your position in the court?"

Hearing this, Cen Yuan said lazily, "I am a Weibei general who is often deprived of his military power and driven to the border. If there is a war, I am the Weibei general! If there is no war, huh, your stupid son will think of killing me all day long."

Emperor Mingde wanted to curse, "You deserve it," but he didn't have the courage to say it out loud.

But he heard some clues from the other party's words.

This is not a dream.

This is the man's actual past life.
