After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

What really made him tired was that everything was apparently foolproof, but it was ruined by two women.

One is his wife and the other is his sister.

His wife was unwilling to be separated from her child, so she took revenge on the child.

As a result, his sister felt deeply desperate towards the entire Fu family.

She believed so much that her mother's family would treat her child well, but in the end, she was the one raising someone else's child at her own expense, while her own child was nowhere to be found, and she didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Even in the end, he avoided the palace and ignored worldly affairs.

And now he has revealed the truth about all this personally.

Hahahaha...how ridiculous!

His plan of using someone else as a substitute was clearly foiled.

Seeing him like this, Emperor Yong couldn't help but feel bitter. After a long pause, he finally asked in a hoarse voice, "Rong Jun, I ask myself, how great was the kindness shown to your Fu family? Is this how you repay the emperor's kindness?"

"Oh, Your Majesty?" Fu Rongjun smiled. He curled the corners of his lips speechlessly before sneering, "Your Majesty seems to have forgotten...how you ascended to the throne?"

Emperor Yong suddenly clenched his fists, as if thinking of the unbearable past.

"It was our Fu family who provided manpower, money, and effort to lift you, a prince who was not valued by the previous emperor, onto the throne!"

Fu Rongjun said sarcastically, "Back then, you, me, Xiao Bufan, and Zhang Xian, we agreed that as long as you came to power, you would reorganize the military, wipe out the Three Kingdoms, and unify the world!"

"But what now?"

"I won't say more, but Zhang Xian guarded the southern border without a trace of war. Xiao Bufan was imprisoned by you on the charge of having secret dealings with the Northern Di people. And you, as the Emperor of Dayong, are the current emperor who protects all the people in the world."

"Appease Nanzhao and curry favor with Beidi."

"Even facing a small Xirong, they can force you into this situation. You would rather sacrifice your own daughter for marriage than march west!"

"Murong Li, you are such a spineless coward!

Fu Rongjun gnashed his teeth and said:

"So what if I want to take your place? You can't hold this position well, so you should naturally give way to someone more capable. Your Murong family is full of losers. Since you can't hold your position firmly, it's time for our Fu family to take over!"

"You...you are so presumptuous!" Emperor Yong's face flushed red with anger at Fu Rongjun's accusations. "What do you know? State affairs are not to be trifled with."

"I sacrificed Zhaoyang, but in return I secured peace on the border. If the two countries had gone to war, how many civilians would have died?"

"Not to mention the constant natural disasters in recent years, the court has been providing disaster relief everywhere, but the people still can't get enough to eat. I want to be a good emperor and want the people of the world to have enough to eat. What's wrong with me?"

"I also want to be tougher and directly go to war when facing the provocations of the Western Rong and Northern Di."

"But once war breaks out, we'll have to recruit soldiers from all over the country, provide logistical support, and even increase taxes. But the people are struggling to survive, so how can they afford to increase taxes?"

"So I sacrificed my Zhaoyang, she is my daughter. How could I not feel heartbroken?" Emperor Yong roared out these words.

Of course, he was heartbroken.

But this heartache was halved after Murong Lan became a substitute.

Fu Rongjun was covered in blood at this moment, like a tattered rag doll.

Hearing Emperor Yong's self-defense, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Some things, if they don't exist from the beginning, will never exist."

Having said that, he turned his gaze to Zhong Ning, with a hint of relief in his eyes, "However, you are lucky to have such a decisive daughter!"

"Child, uncle doesn't blame you. It's because of uncle's mistakes that you have suffered so much. Even if you kill uncle, it is what you deserve."

There was pity in Fu Rongjun's voice, as if the injuries on his body were not caused by Zhong Ning, and his expression was like that of an elder to a younger person.

Zhong Ning sneered, "Duke Yingguo, please be aware of your status. How dare you, a traitor, dream of becoming my uncle? Are you worthy?"

Fu Rongjun's body was slightly stiff and his face was pale.

The queen closed her eyes in pain. All this was her fault!

Emperor Yong covered his chest, took two deep breaths, and then continued:

"I have no blood? I'll let you see whether I have blood or not."

"As you said, it was your Fu family who helped me ascend the throne, so I will show some leniency. The three clans will have their property confiscated and be exiled to the southern border."

"The war in Southern Xinjiang is about to begin, so let them go to the front lines and build fortifications!"

Hearing this, Zhong Ning couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, there is another child, the one who was sold at the same time as me. If what Xu said is correct, that is the illegitimate child of Duke Yingguo."

"Although he is from the same lineage as the Duke of England, he is also a victim. Can he be excluded?"

Zhong Ning actually didn't have to say anything.

But Shen Yan will eventually come back to look for his relatives. The fact that the two of them were abducted from Shengjing is no secret in Kaoshan Village.

Upon hearing this, Fu Rongjun immediately knelt down and pleaded, "Your Majesty, this is all my fault. Please spare the life of that child, considering that I supported Your Majesty's ascension to the throne!"

Emperor Yong was silent for a moment and turned his gaze to Zhong Ning.

The meaning is probably: Do you know this kid? What's his character like? He doesn't want to let an ungrateful person go!

"His name is Shen Yan. When he heard that the Western Rong cavalry were causing trouble on the border, he went to join the army alone. He's a good kid. He's helped me a lot. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to escape from that hellhole!"

Zhong Ning said frankly that in some ways, Shen Yan was indeed good to her. Now that she knew that he was also her cousin, she would naturally help him if she could!

After hearing this, Emperor Yong said:

"In that case, let him remain a commoner. If he desires fame and honor, then we'll see what he can do."

"As for the other children of the Fu family," Emperor Yong paused and continued, "I will not kill them, but I will make their lives worse than death!"

"How you treat my child? You will suffer my revenge a thousandfold!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lanxin fell to the ground.

At this moment, she didn't know whether her request was reasonable or unreasonable?

The bitch's child was sold by her, but she managed to save him!

But her own child will have to endure the emperor's wrath a thousand times greater!

"Drag it!"

With a loud shout, the emperor's guards rushed in and dragged out the entire family of the Duke of Ying who were lying on the ground with despair on their faces.

Fu Rongjun closed his eyes and let everything happen.

Xu Lanxin was distraught. She hadn't even had a proper word with her child!

Fu Lin had no expression on his face, while Fu Ying screamed hoarsely, "Brother Crown Prince, save Ying'er, Brother Crown Prince, save Ying'er..."

Crown Prince Murong Fu listened to the entire story with a wooden face, but he was no longer able to manage the affairs of the Duke of Ying's Mansion. His fate was already sealed the moment the truth was revealed!
