Chapter 283 Sparing His Life
The Fourth Prince was extremely anxious, his forehead covered with sweat, and his mind was racing. "Father, you must be sick and confused. I will help you go back and rest."
No, he has two trump cards in his hand, one is the unborn grandson, and the other is that he is the only intact adult prince.
There is no way my father would abandon him!
Before he could get close, he was pushed away by the guards.
The emperor had a cold expression. Yes, the royal family doesn’t talk about feelings, they only talk about interests.
But, can a person who is immoral, incompetent and narrow-minded sit firmly on the throne?
How can you convince the public when you are so arrogant even before you get to the top?
"From now on, there will no longer be a Fourth Prince, only Ah Si. He will be exiled to guard the imperial mausoleum and will never be allowed to return to the capital."
It was so cruel that he even took away his surname. From then on, he was just an unknown soldier guarding the imperial tomb.
Just one sentence determined the fate of the fourth prince.
Even if the emperor has no children, it is impossible for the fourth prince to succeed to the throne.
Only those from the royal family will be selected and adopted.
There was silence at the scene, everyone was shocked.
The Fourth Prince was struck by lightning. "Father, I am your only intact adult son. Without me, who would you pass the throne to?"
His certainty made the emperor even more disgusted. "You and I are no longer father and son. We will never see each other again in this life."
So decisive, so ruthless, it is shocking.
The Fourth Prince's heart sank. Was he exposed?
No, he is only one step away from the throne, he can't give up.
"Father, please don't believe the slanderous words of the Ninth Prince. They are not true."
He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and tried his best to find a way to save himself.
"Ninth Uncle...he wants to seize the throne. Don't fall into his trap."
Everyone looked at Prince Rui with strange eyes.
Li Wuyang raised his right hand with a serious expression and spoke solemnly.
"I, Li Wuyang, swear to heaven that I will never covet the throne. If I break this oath, I will die without a burial place."
The emperor's eyes were filled with satisfaction. This was the person he trusted the most, capable, responsible, and loyal.
In comparison, his sons are all unbearable to look at.
It’s strange, it’s the same education.
Could it be that I inherited my mother's roots? Yes, that's right!
Li Wuyang turned the gun around and said, "Fourth Prince, do you dare to swear?"
The emperor can call him Ah Si, but no one else can.
"I...I..." The Fourth Prince didn't dare.
Seeing this, the emperor looked at him with murderous eyes and said while suppressing his anger.
"Send Ah Si and his family away. I don't want to see them."
Sparing them life was his final act of mercy.
The Fourth Prince's wife burst into tears, filled with regret, "Your Majesty, please spare us for the sake of the little grandson in my belly."
She begged so hard, it was really pitiful.
However, the Emperor remained unmoved. "Then why didn't he spare the young Fifth Prince? He had no regard for sibling ties and murdered his brothers. Why should I care about a grandson who no longer exists?"
"Logically speaking, he killed my son, so I killed his son, that's the right thing to do."
His murderous words made the Fourth Prince look ashen, "Father, I am your biological son."
The emperor's chest was filled with emotion. "If not, you would have been torn into pieces by five horses, and your entire family would have been executed, leaving no one alive."
"Drag him away."
The Fourth Prince was dragged away by the guards, "Father, Father, please forgive me. I know I am wrong and I will definitely change."
However, no matter how much they begged, the emperor remained unmoved and had a heart of stone.
"Nothing."
Li Wuyang cupped his hands and said, "I am here."
The emperor looked at him deeply and said meaningfully, "Protect the Sixth Prince. I grant you the power of regent. Act as you see fit."
Li Wuyang's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm, "Don't worry."
The emperor nodded slightly, "Tomorrow you will personally supervise the execution and deal with all those rebels."
"yes."
That night, the emperor fell ill with a high fever that wouldn't go away. The entire Imperial Hospital was stationed in the Yangxin Palace.
The country was in chaos and disorder.
Li Wuyang was extremely busy, and he had to deal with all the complicated matters personally.
Fortunately, Yun Zheng helped him guard the Yangxin Palace.
Yun Zheng has always been extremely intelligent, and with the help of the ghost doctor, she manages the Yangxin Palace tightly, and no one can sneak in.
The third prince's injuries are still worsening and his condition is very bad.
However, Li Wuyang wanted to circle out all the people who would be dealt with tomorrow, including Jiang Wenzhou's brothers and a group of rioters.
All of the former generals of the Prince of Zhennan were executed.
The subordinate walked in, "Prince Rui, the Fourth Prince...something happened."
Li Wuyang didn't even raise his head. "Haven't you sent him away yet? What's the matter?"
The subordinate reported, "He and his wife were accusing each other, and the argument became increasingly fierce. In a rage, he beat his wife, causing her to miscarry on the spot."
Li Wuyang was a little surprised, "The child was aborted?"
"yes."
"Okay."
On the second day, under the scorching sun, a group of rebels were pushed to the Meridian Gate for execution, with countless onlookers.
Jiang Wenzhou's hands were tied, and he knelt on the execution platform with a dazed look on his face.
Where is this?
He only remembered being trapped in an isolated city, suffering inhuman torture and living a life worse than death.
A familiar voice came from my ear, "I don't want to die, please spare me."
He turned his head and saw that it was his brother, Jiang Wenyun.
Hey, why are you dressed like a prisoner?
"What trouble have you gotten yourself into?"
Jiang Wenyun was stunned. "Are you not sick?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, "The Ninth Thousand Years Old has arrived."
Jiang Wenzhou looked up suddenly. It was him, the powerful regent, Li Wuyang.
He was also the man who had besieged him for a month!
The man he hated most in his life!
But why is Li Wuyang so young? This is not right.
Everyone bowed and said, "Greetings, Mr. Nine Thousand."
"Everyone, get up."
Li Wuyang ordered, "Publicly announce the crimes of these prisoners to the world."
"Yes." The subordinate took the order and began to read it.
"Jiang Wenzhou, son of Jiang Zhen, Marquis of Yuanpingxi, rebelled, besieged the imperial city, and was subsequently executed."
"Jiang Wenyun..."
Jiang Wenzhou just heard about his crimes, and then countless fragments flooded into his mind.
Ahhh, he was reborn? Reborn ten years ago!
This was the age when he was most ambitious and glorious.
He had tens of millions of wealth and bribed countless officials to work for him. He rose to prominence and became extremely powerful.
He single-handedly turned the Pingxi Marquis Mansion into a duke's mansion. He was the head of the nobles, and all the nobles followed his lead and obeyed his orders!
At this time, Prince Rui went to Nanyue and personally commanded the assassination of the King of Nanyue, and had no time to care about the court.
God allowed him to be reborn, which means he is the son of destiny and allows him to start over.
Good, good, that’s great.
He has the memory of his past life and the ability to predict the future, so he is sure to win this round.
Li Wuyang, you are dead!
At this moment, Li Wuyang's extremely cold voice came to my ears.
"Execution."
Jiang Wenzhou was struck by thunder. Ah, this was wrong. How could he be a prisoner about to be beheaded? Why was Li Wuyang here?
Why is the direction different from the previous life? It's all messed up!
But he didn't have time to think about it, the most important thing was to save his life.
"Spare his life."
"Prince Rui, I have important military intelligence to report, which concerns the lives of countless civilians along the border."
