We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

Daqing, Xuanzheng Hall.

The civil and military officials on both sides of the hall looked indifferently at the figure kneeling in the hall.

"Sixth Prince, please explain. His Majesty is waiting!"

The old eunuch beside the dragon throne asked anxiously.

"I have nothing to explain." Sixth Prince Li Che's face was pale, but his eyes were firm. "You accuse me of using witchcraft to murder the Crown Prince? That's just a false accusation. There's no shortage of excuses."

The old eunuch glanced at the emperor beside him, and seeing that he still had no expression on his face, he continued to ask:

"And how do you explain the puppet that was found in your room?"

Li Che remained silent, just looking at the emperor on the dragon throne.

Explain? What's there to explain?

How could a founding emperor, who controlled the entire court and the world, believe in such absurd witchcraft?

My father asked me to come to this hall not because he wanted to hear my explanation... He wanted me to die!

How did things come to this between father and son?

Thinking of this, a look of determination flashed in Li Che's eyes.

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs."

He muttered to himself, and a force emerged from nowhere in his body, supporting his stiffly kneeling body to stand up.

When the court officials who were nearby heard this, they were so frightened that they lowered their heads and wished they were deaf.

Li Che's eyes swept across the indifferent faces in the hall, his gaze empty.

The false accusations of those with ulterior motives, the suspicion of his biological father, and the fratricide among his brothers were like poisonous snakes entwined around his heart, almost making it impossible for him to breathe.

His hands were clenched tightly, his nails dug deep into his palms, and blood dripped through his fingers onto the cold stone steps.

Li Che closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and took a few steps back.

The gaze shifted to the pillars of the hall.

"If there is an afterlife, I would rather be a farmer than be the son of an emperor!" Li Che's eyes were red and he growled in a hoarse voice.

The ministers around saw the Sixth Prince stand up and cast their eyes on him.

Then I saw Li Che running with all his strength and slamming his head hard into the hard vermilion pillar.

The speed was so fast that even the generals present were unable to react and stop it.

It's clear that he wants to die!

boom--

A dull crash was heard, and Li Che's body fell powerlessly in the hall like a puppet with its strings cut.

Blood flowed from his forehead, staining the ground beneath him red.

"Your Highness!"

"Oh no! His Highness the Sixth Prince committed suicide!"

The hall was suddenly in chaos. The ministers came forward and surrounded Li Che, but no one dared to approach him.

At this moment, the figure on the dragon throne finally moved.

The emperor slowly stood up and looked down at Li Che's body with disdainful eyes.

His eyes were indifferent, as if he was looking at an insignificant object rather than his own son.

"Where is the imperial physician?"

The imperial physician, carrying a medicine box on his back, hurried forward, put his finger under Li Che's nose, and then felt for the pulse on his neck.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has passed away." The imperial physician knelt on the ground with his forehead pressed against the ground.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall suddenly became quiet.

A complex expression appeared on the emperor's face, but it disappeared in an instant.

Whether the emperor likes it or not, the Sixth Prince of this time and space is dead.

At this moment, Li Che in another time and space regained consciousness...

hiss--

My head hurts.

Li Che felt as if his head was being stabbed by a knife. Chaotic memories flooded in like a tide, making his head feel like it was about to explode.

"Where is this? The Daqing Empire? Li Che, is his name Li Che? The Sixth Prince was forced to die outside the palace. His father is so cruel."

"No, this Li Che's late mother was a princess of the previous dynasty? She carries the blood of two dynasties, and yet she dares to plead for the orphan of the previous dynasty. How foolish and sanctimonious..."

"You're so kind to everyone, and even known as the 'Wise King' in the palace? Hiss... This buff is stacked up to the limit, if you don't die, who will?"

"The prince suddenly fell seriously ill, and then a cursed puppet was found in the original owner's room. Is this the otherworldly version of 'Witchcraft'?"

Li Che endured the pain and digested the memories in his mind, and suddenly he felt a little dazed.

Traveling to an ancient dynasty in a parallel time and space, becoming an unpopular prince, and being forced to death by the emperor at the very beginning?

A complete disaster in the beginning!

High-intensity work is really not good. He was only in his twenties, and he died suddenly?

My team has just discovered a new mine in the Northeast. It is definitely a rich mine. If it can be successfully mined, maybe I can become a formal prospector this year.

What should I do now? Just lie there? Wait for the eunuchs to drag my body away before I can escape?

I'm just a science and engineering guy, and I'm really not good at palace fighting!

At this moment, the emperor in the hall on the steps spoke.

"Huang Jin, go and announce the decree."

"Here."

Behind the emperor, the old eunuch walked out slowly with a sad face, holding a roll of yellow silk tightly in his hand.

Under the gaze of everyone, the old eunuch walked to the Sixth Prince's "body" and unfolded the yellow silk in his hand.

"By the grace of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: The Sixth Prince, gifted with intelligence and both ability and virtue, is hereby appointed the Sixth Prince, Li Che, as 'Prince of Ninggu County,' ruling the lands beyond Shanhaiguan. No one is permitted to enter the capital without the Emperor's order. This is my decree!"

After hearing the old eunuch Huang Jin's rhythmic reading, the ministers around him lowered their heads to hide their shocked expressions.

Your Majesty...that's a bit too cruel.

The people were already dead, so the Sixth Prince was crowned king.

It is obvious that he does not want to be accused of forcing his own child to death, so he resorted to this tactic of covering up his own faults.

He didn't even use the word "posthumous title", so that history books would not record that Emperor Qing forced his own son to death.

The emperor accused the Sixth Prince of witchcraft, but instead of punishing him, he made him a king. Unable to bear the shame, the Sixth Prince committed suicide.

Was he still given the title of Prince of Ninggu?

Outside Shanhaiguan, what is Ninggu County?

That is the place where the old people of the previous dynasty and serious criminals were exiled!

Although it nominally belongs to Daqing, it is actually a buffer zone between Daqing and the barbarians, and those barbarians would often go south to plunder.

The old eunuch respectfully closed the imperial edict and took a few steps closer.

Looking at the Sixth Prince lying on the ground, a strange smile suddenly flashed across that kind face.

He bowed slightly and whispered in a voice that only he could hear:

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to tell you: Don't you enjoy pleading for those people? Then go and reunite with them!"

The smile on the old eunuch's face flashed away, replaced by a look of sincere grief.

He bent down and was about to put the imperial edict into the Sixth Prince's hands.

suddenly!

A hand covered in blood suddenly rose up, and in front of the old eunuch's dull gaze, it grabbed the imperial edict.

Li Che's head slowly raised up, blood flowing down his head and onto his face, making his entire face look extremely hideous.

His mouth was grinning and his eyes were flashing with a fierce light.

"Where? Where do you want me to go?"

The old eunuch was limp all over, his mind no longer working, and he subconsciously replied, "Shan, outside Shanhaiguan, Ninggu County."

The hand holding the imperial edict suddenly pulled back, as if afraid that the other party would go back on his word, and held the edict tightly in his arms.

"Your son Li Che... no, Prince Ninggu Li Che, accept the order!"

The smile on Li Che's face could not be concealed.

Outside Shanhaiguan, Ninggu County?

Isn't that the Northeast of later generations?!

I can solve this problem!
