Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

After Zhao Hui left the capital, the second prince finally realized that his younger brother Zhao Heng, who had been against him, was actually competing with him for a woman. Especially that good-for-nothing Li Tian, ​​who brought so many people with him but couldn't beat Li Tian's guards.

During the joint trial of the case by the Ministry of Justice and the county government, they also noticed something strange and finally reported it to the emperor for a decision.

The old emperor knew the trick after reading the memorial. Who gave him the courage to let the son of a prefect compete with his own son for a woman?

Li Gang was sitting at home when disaster struck him. Last time, Zhao Wei advised him to create another trumpet, and this time, news came from the capital that his son and the emperor's son were fighting over a woman.

After he thought about it calmly, he understood the reason, so he set out overnight and arrived in Shangjing before dawn to find the second prince for help.

"I can't do anything about it. This happened so suddenly. Is the clerk in your house still alive?"

Zhao Wei sat dejectedly in the chair, talking nonchalantly.

"The clerk is still here. He signed the marriage certificate after being beaten. He's probably recuperating at home now."

Li Gang said to the second prince tremblingly.

"In this situation, why are you still keeping people around? You should get rid of them."

"Yes, yes, I will listen to your Highness. I will send someone back to handle this matter right away."

"I think your eldest son has no chance of getting out, and there's a high possibility that he will implicate you. It's better to let him ascend to heaven on his own and leave this mess to the people in the Ministry of Justice."

Zhao Wei said this and picked up the teacup on the table, meaning that he was seeing the guest off.

Even though Li Tian had many faults, Li Gang, as his father, felt heartbroken. He also knew that Li Tian was naughty, but at this time, the Second Prince could not come forward to guarantee him, so it was useless to ask anyone else.

"Humph! It's useless to raise more dogs like this."

Looking at Li Gang's departing back, Zhao Wei said to Wei Rong behind the screen.

Wei Rong had been hiding behind the screen. He was very clear about the whole cause and effect. At first, he offended Zhao Wei, and later he was used as a gun by Zhao Wei to deal with Zhao Heng.

It seems that if this nephew becomes emperor, it may not be a good thing for their Wei family.

Although he thought so in his heart, he still had to flatter Zhao Wei.

"Your Highness, Li Gang is quite capable, but his methods are a bit soft. He is in Daming Prefecture now, which is still beneficial to us."

"Daming Mansion?..." Zhao Wei seemed to be lost in thought, thinking that there was no real significance in keeping such a person here.

Emperor Zhao Hengzhen ordered an investigation. Although Li Tian had disrespected the imperial family, there were reasons for his actions. He ordered his subordinates to pass on an oral order: "Have Li Gang take Li Tian away and confine him to reflect on his mistakes at home for three years. Also, send Li Shiyuan's father to Shangjing."

The person who went to do the job was an old man in the palace who had always accompanied Zhao Hengzhen. He understood the significance of the emperor's actions, so after leaving the palace, he first asked the imperial guards to find Li Gang and said that there was an imperial edict to be conveyed.

At this time, Li Gang was crying like a tearful man and talking to Li Tian in prison.

When Li Tian knew that no one was willing to save him, his mind suddenly seemed to wake up, and he figured everything out. He understood Zhao Wei's intention of wanting to kill him from the beginning, but leaving him behind.

But what's the point of figuring it all out now? There's only death waiting for him.

The people outside brought in the prepared wine and food, and there was already deadly poison in the wine.

Li Tian had been hungry in prison for a long time, and when he saw the delicious food, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva unconsciously.

He pulled off a chicken leg and chewed it in big mouthfuls: "Damn it, I've been here for so long, finally there's something to eat."

Hearing his son's words, Li Gang's tears once again flowed freely. He comforted him, "Son, take your time eating. I'll be out for a while."

Li Tian was about to grab the bottle of wine, but when he heard his father say he was leaving, he put his hand down and said, "The smell in the prison is naturally unpleasant. Father, you can go out for a while."

Hearing this, Li Gang sighed inwardly and started to walk out. At this moment, the Imperial Guard arrived and said, "Sir Li, the Emperor has issued an order. Please wait for the eunuch to come and deliver it."

Another member of the Imperial Guards passed on the news that Li Gang was in prison. Fortunately, they were all in the capital. Soon, the Emperor's eunuch came to the Ministry of Justice Prison, but he did not go in. He saw Li Gang and passed on the Emperor's words to him.

Upon hearing this, Li Gang thanked him loudly and ran straight into the prison. Unfortunately, Li Tian was already vomiting blood and died there.

This is really fate's trick.

Prime Minister Wei and the Second Prince both said that the crime was unforgivable.

As a result, the emperor orally ordered him to go home and only reflect on his mistakes for three years.

Two results, two explanations. Even if Li Gang was a fool, he knew that he, a dog, should not ask the prime minister and the prince for help. Why couldn't he ask His Majesty in person?

Even if he didn't listen to Zhao Wei at that time and just came to the prison to visit Li Tian, ​​there would be room for buffer even if he was executed later. But why was he so anxious? Could it be that Zhao Wei was already the emperor?

Li Gang left, taking his son's body with him. He was too embarrassed to tell his family how Li Tian died...

Zhao Hui brought the emperor's gift to Dingzhou County and met Li Xin.

"Nephew greets Uncle Wang!" Now that both of them are kings, Zhao Hui naturally addresses him as the younger generation.

"Oh, it's a rare occasion for the Prince of Yan to come here in person. The Emperor has ordered that the princes of the vassal states cannot meet without a valid request. You must be here in compliance with the order."

Li Xin laughed and teased Zhao Hui.

"Uncle Wang, my father knows that my younger sister is looking for a husband and will be getting married soon. He asked me to escort the gifts and come to see you, Uncle Wang."

"You're not a qualified father. I heard you're going to be a father again, and the princess is still expecting. Isn't it a little early for you to come now?"

Zhao Hui was good at leading troops in battles, but he didn't care about politics at all, especially after he was crowned king. He felt that he only needed to govern his own city well.

As for his father asking him to make this trip, he didn't think it was a big deal. It didn't matter who he asked to come. Besides, the fourth son was away on his own, and the fifth son... ?

The more Zhao Hui thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Yes, it was just a gift delivery. Even if they were afraid of bandits, they could just send more soldiers. Could there be other purposes?

"Uncle Wang, when will my younger sister get married?"

"Hmm! It's not until the eighth day of next month! Didn't your father tell you?"

"No, he just told me to leave immediately and come back after the wedding."

"Okay, let me see the gift list. I guess your father hasn't told you something."

Zhao Hui handed over the gift list, which contained nothing but gold, silver, jewelry, and some silk brocade. There was nothing new about it. The only difference was that there was a painting mixed in, but it was not recorded on the gift list.

"Hey, could it be that the eunuch in charge made a mistake?" Li Xin took it out to have a look out of curiosity, but he saw that the mounting of the calligraphy and painting was a bit new and did not look like a collectible.

"Let's open it and see who gave it to the emperor. I stole it."

When Zhao Hui saw Li Xin's obscene smile, he couldn't help but feel that Uncle Wang was a little childish.

When you open the scroll, you will see a magnificent picture of mountains and rivers. It looks like an ordinary painting, but there is a poem next to it, and the handwriting looks familiar.

"This was written by the Emperor!"

"Is this written by the Emperor?"

The two people said almost in unison.
