Chapter 319: Prince Duan Abandons Darkness

Master Xuanxi, a high-level monk whose wise eyes could see through all confusions and delusions in the world, was burnt by lightning and is now in a coma. The news of his life or death spread like wildfire in every corner of Wanxing County in just half a day.

Half a day later, one outrageous version after another emerged.

The most popular version is that Master Xuan Xi is not a high monk, but is possessed by a dirty thing, and that the thunder from the sky destroys all evil.

Before Master Xuanxi was struck by lightning, he tirelessly promoted the emperor's benevolent rule, but as much as the people believed in him, they now despise him.

The emperor, who was far away in Shangjing, was implicated by Master Xuanxi.

The power of losing fans and stepping back should not be underestimated.

Go to Beijing.

palace.

The emperor angrily rolled up the secret letter and smashed it to the ground.

Master Xuanxi was the Imperial Master appointed by him personally after he ascended the throne. The fact that he was struck by lightning in broad daylight meant that he was lacking in virtue and ability, and was not recognized by Heaven?

Mandated by Heaven, may you live long and prosper forever.

But what about him!

Master Xuan Xi personally calculated that he had an imperial destiny that was beyond words and would bring eternal peace to the world and become the greatest emperor in history.

He already had the ambition to seize the throne, and with Master Xuanxi's prophecy, his determination to seize the throne became even stronger.

The emperor was still not satisfied, so he leaned over and swept away everything on the table.

inkstone.

Memorials.

Pen washer.

There was a crackling sound and it fell all over the floor.

The palace maids inside and outside the hall knelt on the ground at the same time, not daring to make a sound.

Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, you have been particularly good at controlling your temper.

This was the first time he got so angry and he made no effort to hide his anger.

Prince Duan, who had come to report on the matter, waited outside the palace with his head lowered, his brows and eyes full of mockery.

His collaboration with Lu Mingchao became increasingly familiar.

Lu Mingchao was in Wanxing County and he was his eyes and ears.

It is truly the law of karma, the monk Master Xuanxi finally got his retribution.

A monk must stir up trouble in the political arena.

Master Xuan Xi has two prophecies.

First, my father must be crowned emperor.

Second, the Xie family will definitely rebel.

With Master Xuanxi's prophecy in mind, Huang was particularly resolute in handling the affairs of the Xie family, leaving no room for leeway.

Except for Old Master Xie and Empress Dowager Xie, all the masters and servants of the Xie family, young and old, were killed and the blood flowed like a river.

It should have been struck by lightning long ago.

Evil monks like Master Xuanxi who spread evil words and mislead people should be killed by everyone!

My father must be very angry.

There was another series of sharp and loud crackling sounds in the hall.

a long time.

The tightly closed hall door was opened from the inside.

Wherever Prince Duan looked, he saw devastation everywhere. Broken porcelain pieces were scattered all over the floor, ink was splattered everywhere, and it was a mess.

"Your Highness Prince Duan, His Majesty summons you to come in."

The eunuch with a pale face and no beard and blood on his forehead trotted up to Prince Duan and said respectfully.

Prince Duan quietly pushed over a small porcelain bottle and then pointed to his forehead.

Immediately, Prince Duan took a deep breath and strode towards the palace. "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."

"May the Emperor be well and safe."

The emperor leaned back in his chair, panting, his eyes glaring, his cheeks flushed, and his expression looking ferocious.

"What are you doing here?"

The emperor's voice was full of hostility.

Prince Duan lowered his head and said, "Reporting to the emperor, I have accused the Marquis of Yongning of allowing his wife's brother and nephew to lend money at interest rates that were shockingly high. The people suffered greatly from this, and their wives and children were separated, and their families were destroyed."

"The people rebelled in anger, and the nephew of the wife of the Marquis of Yongning killed those who could not repay the loan and claimed military merit as his own."

"It is a crime against humanity and lawlessness, and it is too tragic to watch."

"I, your son, earnestly request that your father summon the three courts to conduct a thorough investigation of this matter and give justice to the people who have suffered so much."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly calmed his breathing, and cleared his throat which was a little itchy from the anger. "Is what you said true?"

"It's true." Prince Duan said respectfully without saying a word.

"I was on a tour of inspection on behalf of my father, and a victim came to me and complained bitterly about the evil deeds of the relatives of the Marquis of Yongning. After a brief investigation, I found that every word the victim said had evidence to support it."

"I, your son, feel that this matter is of great importance and dare not delay, so I come to report it to your father."

"Father, you are wise."

"Killing innocent people and claiming credit?" The emperor sneered, revealing his murderous intention.

"What a courage!"

The emperor gave Prince Duan a meaningful look and said, "Fei'er, the timing you chose is very good."

In his rage, he pushed Marquis Yongning out.

Prince Duan still said respectfully, "Father, I entered the palace as soon as I sorted out the evidence and wrote the memorial."

The emperor looked down from above, lowered his eyes, and looked at Xiao Fei coldly, "Fei'er, do you want to be the crown prince?"

Xiao Fei: "I dare not."

"Your Majesty, give it to me. I will obey your will."

"If the emperor does not give me anything, I will not have any delusions."

"Everything I have was given by my father. It was so now and will be so in the future."

"Then according to Fei'er's opinion, I will make Xiao Fu the crown prince and let him sit in the East Palace. What do you think?" the emperor continued to ask.

"As long as it is my father's intention, I have no objection." Xiao Fei threw his hands to the ground.

He knows his origins.

His surname is Xiao, but the blood of the Chu family runs in his bones.

No matter who my father appoints as the crown prince, it can't be him.

Therefore, if you never have any extravagant expectations, you will naturally not be surprised.

"You are quite obedient." The emperor said dimly.

"Will you never have any objection to my opinion?"

Hearing this, Xiao Fei had an ominous premonition in his heart, and said "Yes" with a stiff upper lip.

The emperor raised his hand and waved his sleeves, "You all leave."

All the palace ladies rushed out in response.

"Fei'er, I want you to go to Wanxing, Yicheng."

"In the past three years, you have traveled extensively on my behalf. You have gained a wide range of knowledge, are aware of many anecdotes, and have endless wonderful ideas."

"You go to Wanxing and bring Master Xuanxi back to Shangjing in style, no matter what means are available.

"Remember, it's all about the glory."

"As for those fools and rioters in Wanxing who questioned the emperor's authority..."

At this point, the emperor paused, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Natural disasters are ruthless, and human power is limited. I am deeply saddened."

Since according to Lu Minghui's prophecy, the people of Wanxing were sealed off and burned to death, it means that they were people that God wanted to take away.

God is going to take it away, he can't keep it, nor should he keep it.

Prince Duan was shocked and couldn't believe what he heard.

Is my father going to vent his anger on the lives of the people in this city?

"Father, please think twice." Prince Duan knelt on the ground and pleaded in a lost voice.

According to Lu Mingchao's intelligence, the people who remained in Wanxing were working day and night to build dams and dredge rivers, doing their best to prevent the impending rainstorm and flood disaster.

The people are struggling to survive, but is my father going to kill everyone in the county?

"Think twice?" The emperor's expression became increasingly gloomy and unpredictable.

"Could it be that in Fei'er's heart, my dignity and reputation are no more than the lives of a few traitors who committed treason?"

"Or is it that Fei'er's words of loyalty just now were insincere and contradictory?"

"Deceiving the emperor first, and disobeying his will later?"

"Fei'er, for your sake, I will give the Chu family a way out."

Xiao Fei lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves.

How many lives lost for insubordination?

His good father was threatening him and forcing him to choose between the people of Wanxing and the Chu family.

He is truly a good father to him!
