Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

After he transmigrated, Ye Shuo became the Ninth Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His mother was the most favored Imperial Concubine, and his grandfather was Duke Zhen, who commanded massive troop...

Chapter 25 Digging a Hole

Shock, shame, anger...all flooded my heart.

It has been so many years since Emperor Jingwen was so angry.

Seeing the hand pointing at him trembling constantly, Ye Shuo, who had no way to escape, couldn't help but swallow.

Oops, looks like this is too much.

"Father, please calm down. Please listen to your son's explanation..."

However, at this time, Emperor Jingwen had almost lost his mind.

His mind kept recalling how he helped him push the swing, carried him back, and felt proud and pleased with himself when he heard his exaggerated praises.

Facts have proven that when people are extremely embarrassed, they can really get so angry that they lose their minds.

Especially since the person in front of him is the emperor, an emperor for whom face is of paramount importance.

As guilty as the previous Emperor Jingwen felt, he is as angry now.

He was actually teased by his own son!

Emperor Jingwen had never beaten his children before. If any of his children made a mistake, as long as he pointed it out, they would naturally correct it. Even their mothers would have taken the initiative to scold them, so it would never be Emperor Jingwen's turn to take action.

What's more, Emperor Jingwen has always looked down upon the use of force to solve problems. Using force is only for short-term gain and does not fundamentally solve the problem. Instead, it will make his children feel resentful.

The children are just afraid, not changed.

But today, as if he had learned it by himself, Emperor Jingwen instinctively looked around to see if there was anything that could be used. When he realized what was happening, he already had a feather duster in his hand.

The palace maids and eunuchs in Qiuwu Palace were cleaning the room, but unexpectedly the emperor rushed in and instantly grabbed the feather duster in the vase.

"Get out of here!" Before beating the children, the emperor did not forget to clear the area.

The palace servants had never seen such a scene before and were terrified.

Wang Ziquan, who was used to seeing big storms, couldn't help but be stunned. How could the scene of loving father and filial son change so suddenly? ?

Although Ye Shuo had never been beaten by his biological father, he was not unfamiliar with this process.

After getting the weapon, the next step is to beat him up.

Ye Shuo suddenly shuddered, and before the emperor could make a move, he yelled at the top of his voice: "Mother! Mother, help me! Dad is going to beat me to death!"

Bastard!

He hasn't even started yet!

If you didn’t know, you would think the emperor really wanted to kill his son.

With the volume of his voice, I'm afraid people in the surrounding palaces could have heard it.

"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about!" Emperor Jingwen was almost mad at him.

Ye Shuo didn't care about that and shouted everything he could: "Brother, brother! Come and save me!"

Then almost half of the people in the palace were alarmed, and soon the prince also heard the news.

Emperor Jingwen suddenly came to his senses. If this matter were to get out, he would lose both his face and his dignity.

Emperor Jingwen subconsciously covered his son's mouth, gritting his teeth as he did so: "Shut up, you still think it's not chaotic enough?"

“Mmmmm…” It was obviously you who started it first!

Ye Shuo's face flushed red as he made this accusation with his eyes.

Emperor Jingwen guessed what he meant at once, so he lowered his voice and said, "You were the one who lied to me first!"

When Emperor Jingwen thought about the fact that he had played the game of the top scholar and the prince with him for a long time, his old face turned pale.

He thought he was the one playing the game, but unexpectedly he was played by his own son.

Who knows how this little bastard is laughing at me in his heart.

When Emperor Jingwen thought of this, his hands began to tremble again.

Calm down, calm down, calm down!

Ye Shuo stared at the feather duster in his hand, not daring to breathe.

Things have come to this point. Unless I strangle this little bastard to death and then kill Wang Ziquan and other palace servants and destroy the bodies, I can't pretend that this incident never happened.

After a long time, Emperor Jingwen, who had realized the reality, suddenly calmed down and said, "Tell me, how can you not tell anyone about this?"

Oh my God, the emperor is actually negotiating with a child!

Seeing such emotions in the eyes of the little bastard in front of him, Emperor Jingwen's mood, which had finally been calmed down, was almost ruined again.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Shuo immediately restrained himself: "If you don't beat me, I won't tell you."

Emperor Jingwen narrowed his eyes suddenly, and his mood became bad again: "You threaten me? Do you know that you are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

If it were someone else, even the prince, he would probably kneel on the ground with a pale face and unable to get up after hearing these words.

There is no other reason. The crime is so serious that you may lose your head if you are not careful.

Ye Shuo was not afraid at all. He suddenly became serious and did not answer but asked instead. His black and white eyes were full of unprecedented seriousness: "Father, do you treat your son like the ministers in the court? Do you also need to be careful about your words and deeds?"

The child's face was still very childish, and he possessed an innocence that the older princes did not have.

No wonder Emperor Jingwen thought he was naive. If it were anyone else, who would have the guts to ask this question? Even if he was a few years older, he wouldn't dare to do so.

No one had ever asked him this question before.

The relationship between the ruler and his subjects, father and son should first be between ruler and subjects, then father and son. This is how it should be for people in the royal family.

Emperor Jingwen should have told him this, but for some reason, he suddenly couldn't bring himself to say it.

Although they are king and subject, they are also father and son.

Caught off guard, Emperor Jingwen was stunned for a moment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Shuo asked again: "Since we are father and son, how can we talk about deceiving the emperor?"

His hands suddenly tightened, and Emperor Jingwen said reflexively: "...How outrageous!" But for some reason, his confidence was a little lacking.

Although he had been a father for many years, he had never met a child like this, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.

Ye Shuo struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Father, look, if this happened between an ordinary father and son, it would be just a trivial matter. Why are you so angry?"

"If it were an ordinary family, the father and son would probably still talk about it from time to time and make it a joke years later."

Is it really... like this?

Seeing his cheap father's hesitation, Ye Shuo's face became serious. He didn't feel guilty at all and nodded very affirmatively: "Really!"

No matter what, let's get through this hurdle first.

Emperor Jingwen might really have little experience in this area and was really fooled by him.

After calming down, Emperor Jingwen heard the frantic knocking on the door outside.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Emperor Jingwen felt ashamed, so when he drove the palace servants out, he locked the door of the main hall.

His behavior made Concubine Rong very anxious. Coupled with her son's screams just now, Concubine Rong's heart was beating fast, her hands were clapping red, and she was sweating all over.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if Shuo'er has made any mistakes, please forgive him for his young age. If you really want to punish me, please punish me—"

Before he could finish his words, he heard a creaky sound and the door in front of him suddenly opened.

Concubine Rong was delighted, but before she could say anything, she saw Emperor Jingwen throw something at her.

Taking a closer look, who else could this fiery red ball be but his son?

Concubine Rong hurriedly went to take it. When she turned around, she could only see the emperor's back, and along with it, his deep voice -

"My Lady, Shuo'er is a naughty boy. He must be taught well in the future."

At first, Emperor Jingwen wanted to punish him again, but then he changed his mind and thought that the little bastard was only two years old after all. Moreover, he had just been released from prison more than ten days ago, and now he was going to be imprisoned again. Emperor Jingwen felt that it was too frequent.

The most important thing is that he dared to do this the last time he was locked up for half a year. Who knows what tricks he can come up with next time.

Emperor Jingwen decided to let him go this time and also let himself go.

After his adoptive father left, Ye Shuo couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, I managed to get away with it.

He was not worried at all that his mother would be angered. Although his stepfather was a scumbag, he was not so shameless.

Even Ye Shuo was not that worried about himself.

As I said, when you are young you can do whatever you want. At most you will get a beating or be put in solitary confinement for half a year, nothing else will happen.

Now I didn't get beaten and I didn't get put in solitary confinement, it was a real win.

Next time, let’s do it this way again.

Ye Shuo was thinking happily, but when he turned around, he met Concubine Rong's fiery eyes.

Oh no, oh no, I forgot to send one away, and there is still one!

Ye Shuo broke out in a cold sweat: "Mom, Mom, please listen to my explanation!"

After a long time, the little prince's screams were heard again in Qiuwu Palace.

The other side.

The impact of being teased by a two-year-old child was greater than Emperor Jingwen had imagined.

He even thought about it before going to bed at night.

Scene after scene kept playing again and again before Emperor Jingwen's eyes.

The more you want to forget, the harder it is to forget.

Sensing the low pressure in the bedroom, Wang Ziquan didn't dare to breathe.

After all, he was one of the parties involved, and he wished he could disappear from the emperor's sight recently, so that the emperor wouldn't remember what happened that day when he saw him.

Wang Ziquan, who was used to many storms, was even shocked by the little prince's courage.

I don't know what kind of mentality Emperor Jingwen had, but in the end he actually asked several ministers indirectly what they would do if this happened to them.

The results were all the same without exception.

"How dare he! Break his legs!"

Only then did Emperor Jingwen realize that he had been deceived again.

Even if they were an ordinary family, they couldn't escape the beating. It was a pity that I believed his words at that time!

Emperor Jingwen couldn't help himself and accidentally smashed the cup next to him.

The little bastard was so skilled and calm, and he dug two big holes in a row, it's hard to believe that he was a first-time offender.

At the same time, scenes from the past flashed quickly through the emperor's mind.

I still remember that when he was a little over one year old, he was greatly humiliated because of the imperial concubine's sleeping with him.

Emperor Jingwen now felt more and more that he did it on purpose.

As for the things like grabbing the week-old thing and throwing the jade unicorn, there is no need to mention it.

Emperor Jingwen was stunned, and then a thought flashed through his mind: Could it be that his youngest son was born bad?
