After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

At this moment, Prince Chang truly realized that his secret plan of rebellion had long been known to his father.

However, in order to train the prince, the emperor did not expose this matter.

"Father, you have such a cruel heart!"

He accused with a ferocious expression, "They are all your sons, why does the emperor favor one over the other?"

"Besides, I am so much better than the Crown Prince. Everyone believes that I am the heir to the throne, but you, Father, chose to make this loser the Crown Prince."

The resentment he had been accumulating for a long time erupted, "Father, you are slapping me in the face and making me lose face."

The prince rolled his eyes speechlessly. It was a pity that Prince Chang could say such "unique" words. He felt sick just listening to them.

How did Prince Chang know that his father was considering making him the heir to the throne? And how did he know that he was the only heir to the throne?

My father never said that he would choose an heir from among his sons.

Based on his understanding of his father, if he cannot choose an heir from among his sons, he will choose an heir from the royal family.

In my father's view, it doesn't matter who sits on the throne. What matters is whether he can be good to the people and whether he can keep the country stable.

"Prince Chang, do you think that since I have no other sons, you must be the heir?" Emperor Sheng laughed instead of getting angry.

Prince Chang was already dominated by anger. He pointed at the crown prince angrily and said, "Isn't it just this piece of trash?"

“If I hadn’t been so kind as to spare this ruin, how could he have become the crown prince?”

"He took away the position that should have belonged to me."

Emperor Sheng said slowly, "I have already been secretly considering other members of the royal family. I am not trying to choose an heir from among my sons."

"I have even considered making Xingguang the crown prince, but I have never considered making you, or deposing Prince Ding, or Prince Xiaoyao the crown prince. I have never considered letting the deposed crown prince inherit the throne."

Prince Chang's mind went blank. He stared at him, unable to believe what he said. "You're lying."

He was furious, "How could you possibly give up the throne you worked so hard to obtain to someone else..."

"Why not?" Emperor Sheng said calmly, "For me, the most important thing is not that my son inherits the throne, but that a qualified person inherits the throne."

"I have long known that you are not qualified heirs, so I have not yet crowned you kings. I will wait until I find a suitable heir before I crown you kings."

"Even if he is the deposed crown prince, he is just a shield arranged by me."

"If I really wanted to choose one of my own sons as the crown prince, would I have deposed the former crown prince so easily?"

Zhong Ling added, "Prince Chang, the Emperor has known from the beginning about most of what you did in secret."

"The Emperor has given you many chances, but unfortunately you didn't cherish them and instead became even more aggressive."

Even the crown prince was appointed by the emperor after Prince Rui refused to let Prince Zheng be the crown prince.

The emperor wanted to see whether the prince could handle all matters big and small after becoming the crown prince.

If not, the emperor will depose the prince.

"Impossible, impossible!" Prince Chang couldn't accept this, crying and laughing at the same time. "The Prince of Feiding and the others are gone, and the emperor only has me, his outstanding son, left. If he doesn't make me the crown prince, who else can he make the crown prince?"

"I finally managed to eliminate the deposed King Ding and his men and became the ultimate victor."

"But I never thought that my father would not make such an outstanding person like me the crown prince, but would make that useless person the crown prince instead."

"I'm not willing to give in, I'm not willing to give in!"

He was a little crazy, "Oh right, as long as that idiot dies, I can become the crown prince..."

"Have you pretended enough?" Emperor Sheng looked at him with disgust. "Do you think you can survive by using this trick? That you can accumulate strength in secret?"

"I won't give you this chance."

It is normal for Prince Chang to be unable to bear such a huge gap and blow, but it is impossible for him to suddenly become crazy.

Prince Chang's expression froze. He roared, "Father, why won't you make me the crown prince? I'm clearly much better than this loser."

Seeing that he refused to repent, Emperor Sheng said, "Because I already know your true character."

"You are ambitious, suspicious, selfish, and vicious. I know all the things you have done to exploit Prince Deposed Ding over the years."

Prince Chang couldn't accept it. "Just because of such a small matter?"

"Every dynasty has fought for the throne, and everyone has done the same thing. I'm just smarter and use more tactics."

He really couldn't accept that his father treated him like this just because of such a small matter.

"It's a small matter?" The prince couldn't bear to listen any longer and sneered, "If someone did this to you..."

"Who dares to do this to me?" King Chang said angrily.

The prince sneered, "Look, you're only allowed to do this to others, and you call it a trivial matter. I was just using a metaphor, and you couldn't stand it."

"It's clear that you are a very selfish and vicious person. If someone like you really became emperor, it would be a disaster for the Rong Dynasty."

Prince Chang stared at him resentfully, "What do you know?"

"A ruler must be ruthless and selfish enough, otherwise he will be exploited by others."

The prince said, "Don't tarnish the ruler with your malice and selfishness."

"Among the rulers of all dynasties, apart from the incompetent ones, which one was selfish, cruel and ruthless?"

"You've reached this point, and you're still trying to defend yourself. Aren't you just trying to get Father to be lenient with you and give you a chance to survive?"

"You can only continue to cause trouble if you survive."

Prince Chang, his thoughts exposed, turned to Emperor Sheng and kowtowed, begging for mercy, "Father, I am your son, please give me another chance..."

……

In a certain town, porridge was being distributed at the gate of the county government office.

The county magistrate was in charge of the overall situation, the yamen runners and constables maintained order, and the people lined up to receive their gifts.

"Don't push or fight," the county magistrate said loudly. "There's some dirt in this porridge, so be careful when you drink it."

This is what the above means, saying that if there is porridge made of soil, there won’t be so many people who shouldn’t be snatching it.

He knew that a few wealthy families in the town were still living well and were not affected by the drought at all.

After the drought came, he tried to give porridge to these people, but they were arrogant and unwilling to do so, and even made many demands.

The people who received the porridge didn't care about these things at all. They drank the porridge in big gulps. It was good enough to have such thick porridge to drink. They didn't care about those things.

The same thing happened in several other places.

……

That day, Mu Baobao and his companions missed the time to enter the town and settled in a mountain.

It is much cooler in the mountains, and there are trees to block the sunlight.

When Mu Baobao was pulling weeds to feed the cows, he heard his older brother tut.

"Only the prince is left."
