"What an injustice."
Gongshu Chou shook his head.
This truth is too cruel.
This is true for Ning Que, and even more so for Emperor Feng.
Looking back half a year ago, Ning Que was full of vigor and vitality.
With his military achievements in the Northern Expedition, he married Shen Qinghe.
The Empress Dowager acted as a matchmaker and the Emperor issued an order.
The ten miles of red makeup caused a sensation in Chang'an City.
Although Ning Que appeared carefree, he truly valued relationships. He once truly considered Emperor Feng a close relative, willing to do his utmost to help him no matter what troubles he encountered. He even went so far as to expose his identity and utilize his connections within the Divine Machine Pavilion.
It’s because Ning Que believes that Emperor Feng is a wise ruler.
Perhaps, Emperor Feng was a little extreme in his actions.
But he was wholeheartedly devoted to the people and extremely diligent in his work.
But now... all the truth has been revealed.
Ning Que is the son of the late emperor!
Emperor Feng is the youngest son of Prince Ning!
And Emperor Feng killed his father and brother with his own hands!
"The grace of raising someone is often greater than the grace of giving birth." Ning Que clenched his fists tightly. "I grew up in the palace, and they are all my closest relatives. I never imagined that Emperor Feng would act so cruelly, not even sparing his own biological father... I sometimes wonder what kind of person he is? What is real and what is fake?! Can the so-called imperial power really override all emotions and turn people into emotionless beasts?!"
"Master said it a long time ago."
"Monarchs appear to hold power, but in reality, they are controlled by it. This is determined by their position, and it also means they cannot allow excessive personal feelings to interfere. For the sake of national justice, they can sacrifice anything, including their loved ones!"
Ning Que fell silent immediately.
This is not wrong.
Perhaps he was deceived by Emperor Feng.
Too much hope was placed on Emperor Feng.
"That was almost twenty years ago."
"I can't believe they could find out everything." Gongshu Chou was also accustomed to the methods used by these monarchs. He immediately whispered, "If we can find out, then Emperor Feng can definitely find out too, maybe even more in detail than we can. With his ruthless nature, what do you think he will do to these people?"
"Silence!"
"That's right."
Ning Que's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Then he slammed the table and stood up.
"Shou Bo!"
"I'm afraid it's too late."
Gongshu Chou shook his head and said softly, "Shou Bo served three generations of Ning Wang, and he has always been in the palace. He must be very familiar with the past. Now Shou Bo is old, even if he died suddenly, no one would suspect it..."
Ning Que's eyes were red and he was too weak to sit down.
At the time, he didn't know the truth of the matter and hadn't yet arrived in Linzi. He had thought of taking both Uncle Fu and Uncle Shou to Linzi. Because Uncle Shou had served three generations of Ning Wang, he held a high position in the palace. After Shen Qinghe gave birth to a child, Uncle Shou could also help take care of it.
Of course, I don’t really want Shoubo to take care of me.
After all, he is quite old.
Just want to be festive.
In fact, this tradition also exists among the people.
When a child is born, the elders are invited to hold the child. The older the elders, the more blessed the child will be. Shou Bo is over ninety, making him one of the oldest people in Chang'an.
However, Shou Bo refused...
He said he was old and couldn't bear to travel all the way to Linzi. He also said he had never left his ancestral home in Jingyang and only wanted to protect it.
Later, when Ning Que learned the truth, he considered writing a letter, hoping to have Shoubo go to Linzi, where it would be safer. However, doing so would have indirectly told Emperor Feng that he knew everything and was wary of him. Furthermore, considering Shoubo's age, Emperor Feng probably wouldn't do anything to him.
But now...
"Your Highness!" Tie Niu stood up with red eyes and gritted his teeth, "If anything happens to Shou Bo, I will absolutely fight to the death with that beast Fengdi!"
"Shut up!"
Bai Yu glared at him fiercely.
Don’t you think it’s chaotic enough now?
Tie Niu is good in every way except that he has a broken mouth.
Sometimes I just talk without restraint.
Didn’t you see that the expression on the prince’s face was not right?
"I'm afraid it's not just Shoubo."
"There are also Shenji Pavilion, Babao Trading Company, and even our Gongshu Family!"
"We haven't fallen out yet. Emperor Feng may not act openly, but he will definitely have people watching us. He will know of any move we make. If the plan is ever leaked, he will definitely kill us."
"I'm the one who's holding you back..."
"There's no such thing as a burden." Gongshu Chou looked at Ning Que, who was still losing control of his emotions, and said seriously, "We are all in the same boat. Even if you do nothing, Emperor Feng will not let us go. Junior brother, the entire fortune of our Gongshu family rests on you. So, you must cheer up."
"I don't know what Emperor Feng was like before, but now you know his true face. He is a beast who will do anything for power and status, even his own father and brother. He is a traitor and must be killed by everyone. And you are the true Emperor of Dafeng!"
"Thank you, Brother Gongshu, for the reminder!"
Ning Que breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to express his gratitude.
Gongshu Chou didn't care at all.
He had been through a lot in his early years.
In order to fight for power, the Gongshu family would frame each other.
What’s more, it is a powerful country like Dafeng?
The so-called family affection is not worth mentioning!
It’s just that Ning Que is special.
"You don't have to thank me."
"I'm not as smart as you, I just have some experience. You're the one in the situation, so you can't think straight. Now that you've made your decision, I have something to say. We're all counting on you from now on, so you can't be so complacent. If a war breaks out, many of us will die."
"It's possible that they are fellow disciples."
"It could be both of them, or it could be me."
"It could be our closest relatives!"
"But you must stay calm!"
"good……"
Ning Que nodded seriously.
He knew that Gongshu Chou said all this for his own good.
Moreover, what they said is correct.
There will definitely be casualties in war.
Although Ning Que is a time traveler, he cannot cheat.
Even if firearms were really used, there would still be casualties.
What's more, he was facing Dafeng in its heyday!
"Okay, I'll be leaving now."
"Your most urgent task is to figure out how to annihilate Goguryeo and prepare for the subsequent fake death plan. As for Emperor Feng, there's no need to worry too much about it right now."
"Um."
Ning Que stood up to see him off.
At this moment, I have truly made up my mind.
If he had some concerns before.
But now I have let it go completely.
Emperor Feng killed his father and brother, and it is more likely that he killed Shoubo.
This, then, is the pen's everlasting blood feud!
He wants revenge on everyone!
We must also pull Emperor Feng down from the altar!
Sit in the seat that belongs to him!
