Time Travel: The Useless Prince, First Destroy the Princess

As soon as Zhang Hong left, Wei Mi, Wei Heng, Wei Xuan and Wei Jin walked in.

"Father, you said those things at the banquet, but the Emperor not only didn't blame you, but he also rewarded you with these things. Why is that?"

Wei Mi is the eldest brother, so of course he asked first.

"I was thinking too, the reward from His Majesty is really strange!"

Wei Huan certainly didn't think that this was the emperor praising him for his courage to speak out, there must be other intentions.

"Father, maybe after the Emperor sobered up, he thought what you said made sense!"

Wei Heng said.

"No, the Emperor is very determined to pass the throne to the Crown Prince. He definitely won't think what I'm saying makes sense! Besides, even if he thinks there's some truth in it, he only has one son. What else can he do?"

"Father, I think it would be better to pass the throne to King Song as they say outside!"

Wei Xuan spoke.

"You, shut up!" Wei Huan shouted angrily, "Who told you that?"

"That's right. The prince is so stupid. If we hand over the Dajing Dynasty to him, it will be the end of us. The emperor will definitely change his mind! Just wait and see!" Wei Xuan continued.

"These words are only for use at home. If you say them outside, you will be punished with death. Didn't your friends tell you?"

Wei Huan stood up and closed the door tightly. In fact, there were indeed many people in the court who wanted to pass the throne to King Song. This was no big secret.

It's just that the emperor said something harsh and proposed to change the crown prince and behead him, so no one dared to discuss it publicly.

It is inevitable that you will still hear some gossip in private.

"Even though I said it, I was just talking at home. Jiangshan isn't ours anyway!"

"Son! Remember, if you don't want our entire family to be killed, never say these words again!"

"Father, you were once a General who led troops to conquer the East. Why are you so cowardly now? I think it would be better for us to work together with the King of Zhenbei to help King Song ascend to the throne!"

"What?" No matter how good Wei Huan's temper was, he couldn't help it now and raised his hand to slap the man hard.

"Father!" Wei Mi and Wei Heng hurriedly pulled Wei Huan to sit down.

Wei Huan was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and glared.

Wei Xuan was also stunned, with stars in his eyes. This was the first time in his memory.

"Listen up, everyone! Your father's wealth and glory were all given by the current emperor. I will never disobey the emperor's orders! Anyone who dares to make irresponsible remarks will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane and banned from leaving the house for a year!"

Wei Xuan had never seen his father so angry before. He turned pale with fright. Although he had different opinions in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything.

"Go down! Reflect on yourself!"

Wei Huan was obviously disappointed with his youngest son.

"Yes, father!" Wei Xuan also knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and left unhappily.

Wei Huan looked at Wei Xuan's departing back and said to Wei Jin, "Close the door!"

"Alas, you are so young and ignorant. Do you think King Song is so good?"

Wei Huan knew that if he didn't explain it clearly, his sons might secretly talk about it later.

The three brothers and sisters didn't dare to answer at this time.

"The Emperor and Prince Song are brothers from the same mother. The Emperor is upright, kind-hearted, and courageous. That's why he created this Jing Dynasty!"

"Prince Song was raised by Prince Zhenbei since he was a child. He is usually taciturn, but he is very narrow-minded and insidious. If it were Prince Song who was responsible for what happened at the banquet, I'm afraid the Beiyang Mansion would have been reduced to ruins by now!"

"Father, is it that serious?"

"Don't you understand the emperor's intentions? If Prince Song were to take the throne, given his character, I'm afraid the crown prince wouldn't have a chance of survival!"

"That's right! It seems the emperor also has his own difficulties!"

The three brothers and sisters finally understood why the emperor insisted on passing the throne to the prince.

"So remember, the emperor is a man of great strategy. As long as he's around, the Great Jing Dynasty can't be overthrown! Don't stand on the wrong side!"

"I see. Speaking of which, the emperor has passed the throne to the prince. Has he figured out how to govern the country?"

Wei Mi said tentatively.

This question is not taboo, you can ask it.

"The emperor's will is hard to predict, so don't speculate!" Wei Huan shook his head. "And judging by the prince's behavior, he's a normal person now. With gradual instruction, he'll be able to manage things!"

"Father, that was just something the Emperor and the Crown Prince had planned long ago. It's just a show! I don't believe that Buddha can be so effective!"

Wei Mi said.

"I, your father, don't believe it either! But I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Father, you were drunk at that time and you even said it was a pity to lose this seat. How could I tell the difference?" Seeing that his father allowed him to talk about this topic, Wei Heng became bolder.

"Father has drunk a little too much, but the prince's words and actions seem to be just like those of an ordinary person!"

"Father, after all the wine and meat have passed through my intestines, is it normal for the Buddha to have such poems in his heart?"

Wei Heng was well versed in poetry and prose, and such sentences were simply disgusting.

"I think so too. Besides, I've only written two sentences. I don't know if it was written in advance!"

"How could that be? I was the one who came up with the question!"

Wei Huan certainly disagreed with his son's statement.

"Father, I think there's a possibility that the prince found someone who looks similar to him to impersonate him!"

"Yes, sister, you're right!" Wei Heng clapped his hands. "The banquet is in the evening. Find someone who looks like the prince to act out the show, so those ministers won't make things difficult for you! What a great idea!"

"No, how can I find someone so similar in the world? It's impossible!" Wei Huan was actually a little shaken.

"Father, this world is full of wonders. The population of the Great Jing Dynasty is more than tens of millions. With the Emperor's ability, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find someone who looks exactly like him!"

Wei Jin continued.

"Now that you put it that way, I think there's some truth to it!"

Wei Huan looked at his daughter. Her ideas were always novel.

"Father, there are no gods or Buddhas in this world. Possession is a joke. I think my sister is right!" Wei Mi also agreed.

"Forget it, no matter who he is, don't worry about it. Instead, think about why the emperor suddenly gave these things as rewards!"

"The Holy Will is hard to predict and really puzzling!" The brothers and sisters thought hard in their minds, but they couldn't figure it out.

"Father, what did that Chang Shi Zhang say to you?" Wei Mi asked again.

"I chatted about some family matters and asked if you and your siblings have started a family!"

"Why is he asking this, a eunuch!" Wei Heng said disdainfully.

"Keep your voice down and don't talk nonsense!" Wei Mi hurriedly stopped him.

"That's right! Can't you even say that?" Although Wei Heng was not convinced, he didn't dare to say anything more.

"Zhang Hong is a vindictive man! I'd rather offend the emperor than him!"

Wei Huan didn't stop him.

"Brother, could it be that the emperor wants to marry the princess to you?" Wei Jin said with a smile.

"I don't want that! My son is a fool, and my daughter isn't much better!"

Wei Heng clearly refused.

"Nonsense! The emperor only has one son, no daughters! Besides, the prince wasn't born stupid!"

Wei Huan corrected what his son said.

"Father, what's going on?"

Wei Jin was very curious.

"At that time, the emperor was in trouble, and the empress rushed everywhere to rescue him. The prince was still young, so he asked someone to take care of him. But he caught typhoid fever and ended up like this!"

"Can typhoid fever make people stupid?"

Wei Jin seemed to be hearing this for the first time.

"Of course it does. Typhoid fever can easily cause fever and burn the brain! There are even cases of people dying from burns!"

Wei Mi explained.

"Father, doesn't the emperor have many concubines? Why does he only have one son?"

Wei Jin was still very curious.

"Girl, don't talk nonsense!" Wei Huan said, then got up and left.

This daughter is really spoiled too much, and her mind is acting weird all day long.

"Let's all go back! Go comfort your brother. You're old enough now, so be careful with your words!"

Wei Mi instructed Wei Jin.

"I understand!" Wei Jin had no choice but to leave.
