Mother, I have returned to the throne.

"Since yesterday afternoon, rumors have been spreading throughout the Imperial City."

Song Youji paced slowly in front of the dragon throne, his voice slightly low, like the calm before the storm.

"Some say the boss is plotting a rebellion and colluding with the Zhenbei Palace. Others say he's collaborating with barbarians to overthrow the Qin Dynasty. These rumors initially spread only among the people, but eventually even officials spread them among themselves. Today, I want to ask, do those of you spreading these rumors have any brains?"

Song Youji's voice gradually became louder, and he suddenly pointed at Song Yuan.

"Come on, boss, I'm going to let you slap your third brother twice. Go, I'll take responsibility for anything that happens!"

"Ah, isn't this a bad thing, Father?"

"I knew you would say that!" Seeing Song Yuan's hesitation, Song Youji waved his hand and gave up.

He turned to look at the civil and military officials: "You have all seen it, this is the Crown Prince you said was collaborating with the barbarians, this is the one you said was plotting a rebellion!"

"He's a fucking wimp. If I say he's plotting treason, do you believe me?"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence.

Who among the civil and military officials doesn’t know about the hatred between the eldest prince and the third prince?

When the eldest prince was down and out, the third prince bullied him and treated him worse than a palace maid.

Now that he has someone backing him up, even the eldest prince doesn't dare to take action. How can this behavior be more than just cowardly?

What a waste!

"Just based on a letter, you guys are really bold! Now I can tell you clearly that the letter is a forgery!"

When everyone was silent, Song Youji spoke again.

"I just want to use this letter to see how many idiots and unreasonable people there are in this court!"

"Alright, alright, I'm very satisfied with the outcome. After all, there are only a few reasonable people in the entire Qin Dynasty. With the way you're behaving, what can you do to fight against the barbarians?"

When Song Youji finished speaking, his expression darkened.

All the civil and military officials bowed their heads.

Now they finally understood why Song Youji had been reluctant to take action against Song Yuan despite everyone's previous advice?

It turned out that in the emperor's mind, Song Yuan had long been cleared of suspicion.

If you were a normal person, would you bother with a fool?

Would a fool want to commit treason?

"Third brother, do you have anything to say?"

For a while.

There was silence in the hall. After a cup of tea, he delivered the mail. Suddenly, he turned around and called out the name of the third prince who was kneeling in a row.

"Ah?" The third prince was slightly stunned, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Did the emperor see anything?

Does he know what I did?

"Father, this has nothing to do with me. Father, you must be vigilant and never wrongly accuse a good person!"

The third prince didn't even think about it and started to argue.

In order to clear his suspicion and divert the blame, he pointed at the Fourth Prince beside him and spoke viciously.

"Father, I really didn't do any of this, but I do think the fourth brother is a strong suspect. At the banquet before, the fourth brother was the first to mock the eldest brother. He also said that one day he would make the eldest brother suffer. Many people heard it at the time!"

"You fart!"

The fourth prince, Song Lian, was completely dumbfounded.

You can explain it, but why are you throwing dirty water on me?

"Father, you're right. Third brother is the biggest suspect in this matter. Who doesn't know that the relationship between Third brother and eldest brother has always been incompatible? It was because of Third brother that eldest brother tried to commit suicide several times before. Have you forgotten?"

"Father, don't hesitate. Just go ahead and kill Third Brother. Use his head to appease the troops. Only in this way can we set a warning!"

If you want to frame me, I will kill you first!

"Fourth brother, stop pretending!" Song Qi's face darkened and he started to fight back again.

For a moment, the two of them were talking to each other.

The palace was rendered to look like a vegetable market.

Dog bites dog, so fun!

Song Yuan on the side narrowed his eyes and his mouth was almost stretched to his ears.

The princes blamed each other, but he was the only one who remained aloof from the world.

Bite it hard, the harder the better!

When you bite me, my father will get angry and chop off all your heads. Then I can reap the benefits!

"Go, bring me a cup of tea!"

This farce lasted for half a quarter of an hour.

Seeing the two princes accusing each other like shrews, Song Youji, as the emperor, finally couldn't help it.

However, he did not say anything to stop him, but slowly returned to the dragon throne, and while sitting down, he waved to Eunuch Qiu beside him.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention returned to Song Youji.

The two princes stopped making a fuss and fell to their knees with a thud.

"Why don't you guys continue arguing?"

"What? You guys want some tea too? You're thirsty, want to take a break and fight another round?"

"Father, we don't dare anymore!"

Song Qi and Song Lian looked at each other and said in unison.

The two finally realized their previous gaffe.

When Song Youji heard this, he became even more angry. He supported himself on the dragon throne with both hands and stood up with a bang.

He took three or two steps and arrived in front of the prince.

"Keep arguing, I'll just watch and see how you guys argue today!"

"If you think the quarrel is not enough, then take up your swords and fight. No one will leave this hall today unless one or two of you are killed!"

"Father, I..." Everyone could tell that Song Youji was speaking in anger. Song Lian knew he was in the wrong, so he immediately opened his mouth to explain.

Unexpectedly, Song Youji didn't even give him a chance to speak!

When Song Lian was halfway through his words, Song Youji raised his right leg and kicked him hard in the chest!

The third prince standing by couldn't help but almost laughed out loud.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Song Youji immediately turned around and hit himself hard in the chest.

Then he kicked each prince one by one.

For a moment, the hall was as crowded as dumplings, with the princes rolling on the ground.

"You are such a bunch of useless people! Why didn't you show such ability when that barbarian was being so arrogant just now? You only enjoy fighting among yourselves!"

"I'm making this clear today. From today on, if I find out who's attacking one of our own, I'll kill them without mercy, not just you, but anyone behind you who's behind it!"

Song Youji kicked down six princes in a row before speaking angrily.

He still didn't feel satisfied, so he turned around and waved at Song Yuan.

"Come on, come on, stop just standing there and watching. Boss, give them a good slap in the face. I'm tired, come and help me!"

"Father, I can't do this!" Faced with such an offensive thing, Song Yuan's neck shrank back again.

"You..." Song Youji was suddenly furious.

Unexpectedly, Song Yuan took a stick from the hand of the imperial guard beside him.

"Father, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just weak and have little strength. The slap doesn't hurt at all!"

"Come, Father, please step aside. I will use the stick in my hand to teach my brothers a lesson. After this, I will name this stick the Teaching Stick!"

As he said that, Song Yuan swung the stick and was about to hit the third brother on the head.

"enough!"

Thanks to Song Youji for stopping it in time, otherwise Song Qi would have been killed on the spot!

The third prince Song Qi's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

Looking at the stick in the boss's hand, I felt miserable in my heart.

My father asked you to teach me a lesson, but you want to kill me!
