Chapter 178: Kill Him and I Will Make You the Crown Prince
It rained for a short day yesterday, and it cleared up early this morning.
Willows sway in the capital after the spring rain.
The weather is nice today, perfect for an outing in the countryside.
But unfortunately, the person who accompanied Han Shaoxi to the countryside was replaced by Jun Chenyi.
He was also very curious about his half-brother.
Shouhua Village along the Wulan River.
Nanny Dou is very familiar with this place.
In these years, General Han was not in the capital, and it was their old lady who went to send money to the Qin family.
The houses in the countryside are very simple.
Even though the Qin family had the money given by the Han family, they did not spend it recklessly and lived a very simple life.
"Husband, I will embroider a few more pairs of insoles. When you and dad have finished weaving the bamboo baskets, we will take them to the city to sell."
"After selling these things, we can save enough for Xuan'er's tuition this year."
In the Qin family courtyard, a peasant woman who was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old sat under the poplar tree in the yard with a basin of needlework.
Not far away, two men, one old and one young, were weaving bamboo baskets.
"Master Han, that is your biological father."
"The young man next to him who is about your age is the orphan of the Qin family."
Nanny Dou gave a brief introduction.
Han Shaoxi and Jun Chenyi were peeking through the crack of the door, looking inside.
Although they live a simple and plain life, they are a harmonious family.
Young Master Qin's son can already weave bamboo baskets.
"Your biological mother died early, and Master Qin was raised by your father himself. Although he is not your biological son, he is better than your biological son."
Nanny Dou continued her introduction.
Han Shaoxi nodded, and looking at the life of their family of four, he felt envious.
The courtyard is not big, but it is full of traces of life and their laughter.
"Let my brother be a happy farmer forever."
"The bloody storm in the capital has nothing to do with him."
Jun Chenyi also sighed softly.
He was determined that if he could inherit the throne in the future, he would definitely redress the Qin family's injustice and let his brother return to his ancestral home.
"We've seen it, it's time for us to go back," Nanny Dou urged.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the capital, they were intercepted by the Jinwu Guards.
This time, the Jinwu Guards came with the emperor's decree to capture the Qin family's thief Han Shaoxi.
It was a huge event, with nearly a hundred people coming.
Not only that, the person leading the group includes General Qiu of the Jinwu Guard, as well as Li Tianzhuo!
When he walked out from the group of Jinwu Guards, everyone thought he had betrayed them.
"The official business I'm talking about today is to assist General Qiu in capturing Mr. Han San."
"I'm sorry, this is an order from His Majesty."
The emperor deliberately wanted to test him by asking him to capture someone.
Is it his own sword now, or the sword of the Deng family, the Han family, and the Ninth Prince Jun Chenyi?
Han Shaoxi knew he couldn't hide, and didn't want to hide.
Last night at Deng's house, he had made the choice to die in place of the young master of the Qin family.
Jun Chenyi had no way to change his father's order, so he went to the palace with Li Tianzhuo and Han Shaoxi to meet the emperor.
Since the last poisoning, the emperor's condition has been getting worse day by day, but for the sake of the Qin family's orphan, he dragged his sick body to get up and see Han Shaoxi.
Seeing Jun Chenyi coming along, he was very displeased and stared at him with cold and dead eyes.
It felt as if he wasn't his own son!
"Han Shaoxi, the third son of the Han family, do you know why I am looking for you?"
"Your biological father deserved to die, and your mother deserved to die for giving birth to you!"
"Now choose an object to commit suicide, and I will not pursue the Han family's crime of harboring criminals."
The emperor glanced at the things on the trays in the hands of several palace maids, which included a dagger, poisoned wine, and a white silk.
These were all specially prepared by him for Han Shaoxi.
Jun Chenyi and Li Tianzhuo also understood what the emperor meant. Han Shaoxi would have no chance of leaving the palace alive today.
Before he died, he would definitely kill the child that Han Shaoyi had with someone else.
Han Shaoxi bowed his hands in a neither humble nor arrogant manner and said, "Your Majesty, my father was the General of the Eastern Cavalry and made great contributions to the country. I really don't know what crime my father committed."
It seemed as if he didn't understand what the emperor said at all, and he just regarded himself as the third master of the Han family.
The emperor smiled cruelly, he would not cry until he saw the coffin.
He threw the evidence presented by Tutor Wu this morning in front of Han Shaoxi.
"What else do you have to say?"
"For your mother's sake, I will let you die with dignity. If you don't appreciate it, I can only send someone to help you."
The emperor was so angry that he wanted to find someone to kill him.
He hated, he hated Han Shaoyi so much.
He didn't understand that he had spent all his life's love on her, but still couldn't get her true heart.
The existence of this evil creature was telling him that she had never accepted him in her life.
"Old Nine, your mother gave birth to the Qin family's bastard without my knowledge, and in order to save the bastard's life, she abandoned you and committed suicide by taking poison. Don't you hate her?"
"He is right in front of you. This Han Shaoxi is the illegitimate child of your mother and Qin Sanlang."
"You killed him for your father, and for yourself."
"As long as you are willing to kill him today, your father will make you the crown prince and depose Jun Wenci!"
The emperor had originally intended to depose Jun Wenci.
As the emperor, he had only heard about his rebellion in Qingzhou.
This prince will have to be forced to stay sooner or later.
Among his sons, the ninth one is the most filial. He even knew to bring Deng Youning and the people from Yaowang Valley to detoxify and cure him!
"Father, I don't think it's urgent to kill him."
"My brother, the Crown Prince, has raised an army to rebel, intending to force the emperor to abdicate and establish himself as the emperor. Not only that, I have also heard that he and the Wu family have colluded with King Nan Xinsi."
"Before, a group of assassins surrounded me. They were the Nanxin people sent by the king."
Li Tianzhuo echoed him and said, "I have also discovered that recently many people from Nanxin have come to the capital, and they all have ulterior motives. I also met the King of Nanxin Yi in the capital. He disguised himself as a businessman and wanted to discuss cooperation with the Mu family of Qingzhou. His whereabouts are now under our control."
There was no other choice but to push the Mu family out.
Who made him be in Qingzhou!
The Han army and the Mu family were both accomplices in the prince's rebellion.
"How can this be possible!"
The emperor slammed the table in anger and then continued coughing.
His body was too weak. Even if he was not poisoned, he would be angered to death by the prince sooner or later.
"He is already the crown prince, why is he trying to force the emperor to abdicate and rebel?"
"Don't you think I've lived too long?"
The emperor frowned in confusion. He is not even fifty this year!
Every time he was poisoned, he had to repeat his age in his mind several times.
Everyone around him seemed to want to harm him.
"First, put Han Shaoxi in jail."
"Old Nine, you should quickly go to the Nanxin border and guard the national border with the Zhennan Army."
"Send a message to Deng Ren, and have him lead the Deng family army to defend the capital."
"Tian Zhuo, help me find all the Nanxin people in the capital and keep them in one place to prevent them from causing any trouble."
The emperor arranged everything in detail.
He also did not forget to ask them to notify Hua Yan's army to prepare firearms and be on guard against the enemy entering the city at all times.
