Chapter 193: Indecision is a taboo for kings
Xu Jinglin originally wanted to say that Shen Jiu told him all this, but when he saw his father's praise, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
Since he was a child, everyone said that he was the dumbest among the princes, even his father thought so. It was not until his true life was exposed that he knew that he was not his father's real son, but the son of his father's brother and his mother.
Although he could not become a prince, fortunately, his biological father, the fourth prince Xu Hui, was very powerful and saved him under the nose of the mediocre emperor.
The most important thing is that his biological father only has him as a son, and he alone enjoys his father's love, and his biological father even helps him ascend to the throne.
Xu Jinglin smiled and said, "It's all because of your good teaching, father."
"Hahahaha." Xu Hui laughed heartily and said, "You are indeed worthy of being my good son. Don't worry, Lin'er. At the spring banquet in the palace three days later, your father will definitely help you get rid of the prince. I will let the Yong Emperor personally order his son to be beheaded.
When the prince dies, all the dirty water that slandered you as a fake prince will splash on the prince, and then you will naturally return to the position of prince. When the inconvenient prince dies, the Yong Emperor will naturally not live long, and then the throne will be in my son's hands!"
Xu Jinglin was moved to tears after hearing what his father said, "Father, your son will never let you down!"

The Western Chu Palace, the prince's bedroom.
A big and a small were lying on the couch and plotting quietly.
"Sister, according to what you said, in three days' time, the prince will be framed to have an affair with the concubines at the Spring Banquet, and then his father, the Western Chu Emperor, will chop off his head?" Xiao Moqing said.
Wanwan nodded, "So our goal now is to stop all this."
Xiao Moqing said, "Sister, do you have any good ideas?"
Wanwan smiled while lying on the couch, and then drew a little man wearing an emperor's hat on the paper.
Wanwan: "It's very simple, we just need to start with this Western Chu Emperor."
"Him?" Xiao Moqing looked at the little man with an emperor's hat on the paper, with a look of surprise.
Wanwan said, "We just need to convince him, that's it."
"Convince him?" Xiao Moqing showed some doubt on his face, "A tyrant who is greedy for beauty, are you sure about convincing him?"
Wanwan nodded vigorously.
[It is because he is a mediocre emperor who is obsessed with beauty, so as long as he is "convinced", everything will be settled]
"But second brother, this persuasion is not the kind of persuasion you understand." After Wanwan finished speaking, she raised her little head, leaned close to her brother Ergou's ear, and whispered in a low voice.
After Xiao Moqing heard what the little milk ball said, he immediately widened his eyes and said with uncertainty:
"Sister, are you sure? Are you sure this will work?"
What if the mediocre emperor doesn't believe it?
Wanwan patted her brother Ergou's shoulder earnestly and said, "Second brother, as long as you act well and don't laugh, he will believe it."
[Although the mediocre emperor was incompetent, he valued his life as a ghost]
[Although he was obsessed with beauty every day, he actually went to Fengxian Hall to kneel and kowtow every day at midnight]
[Intended to pray for the forgiveness of the ancestors and want to wash away his sins]
Outside the courtyard, the crown prince Xu Shihuai and the great tyrant sat in the pavilion.
For this reason, Xu Shihuai also specially dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs in the courtyard.
Both of them poured a glass of hot wine, clinked their glasses, and drank it all.
Xu Shihuai: "It seems that you and I have never drunk like we did today."
"Indeed." The Tyrant nodded and said, "The last time we drank like this was about twenty years ago."
"Yes."
Recalling the past, Xu Shihuai inexplicably felt a few sighs in his heart, "Now twenty years have passed, you have already become the emperor, I didn't expect that we would have a day to drink together face to face."
The Tyrant: "If you want, you can."
Xu Shihuai paused in drinking and said, "You shouldn't have eaten this Western Chu Baiwei Chicken for a long time, try it and see if it tastes the same as when you were young."
The Tyrant ignored his deliberate change of subject, but continued, "You should also know about your father's "great achievements". Such a person will not last long as the emperor of Western Chu."
"Ayin, I know all this!" Xu Shihuai looked at him and said, "But when my father was young, he was indeed a wise monarch, deeply loved by the people. He is now old and confused for a while..." "
Confused for a while?" The great tyrant chuckled and said, "Brother Huai should have learned the way of emperors. You know that since ancient times, many kings were wise monarchs when they were young, but when they were old, they were destroyed because of praying for the so-called way of immortality and lusting after beauty. There is no exception. No matter how famous he
is when he is young, it can't make up for his mediocrity when he is old. Brother Huai, you should understand this truth. Indecision is the king's fault. Big taboo."
Xu Shihuai laughed out loud, "Hahahaha, so I often said before, Ayin, you have things that I envy, but also things that I don't have.
Let's not talk about this for now. In fact, there is one thing I am quite curious about, about your Jennyma Awesome Team."
Although Xu Shihuai has mentioned this name several times, every time he said it, he felt that this name had an indescribable weirdness.
Xu Shihuai: "You are far away in Dongming, how do you know the secrets about Xu Hui? And about my fifth brother Xu Jinglin, from what you said, is he really still alive?"
The great tyrant met the man's inquiring eyes and nodded slightly, "Then Xu Jinglin is indeed still alive. As for why we know, it's because - the secret cannot be revealed."

Late at night Harem Not long after
the
Western Chu Emperor and his beautiful concubine made love, the old eunuch stood outside the curtain and respectfully reminded him: "Your Majesty, it's time."
Hearing this, the Western Chu Emperor, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, immediately opened his cloudy eyes and sat up from the bed.
When he was about to get out of bed, a thin white hand immediately hugged his waist.
The woman's coquettish voice came: "Your Majesty~ Are you leaving again? Can't you stay with me for a night?"
"Be good, I'll be back to accompany you later."
"Your Majesty~" Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhen said aggrievedly: "What's there to worship? Is it necessary to worship every day? Your Majesty, can't you..."
"My beloved concubine!" The face of the Western Chu Emperor immediately turned cold, and then he pulled her hands off his waist.
"This is my rule, I cannot break it." After saying that, the old eunuch at the side stepped forward and respectfully helped the man to put on his clothes.
After putting on his clothes, the Western Chu Emperor walked out without looking back.
Seeing this, Concubine Zhen, who was sitting on the bed, pounded the quilt and angrily scolded: "You are crazy, which emperor goes to the Buddhist temple to worship his ancestors every night?"
