How could the second prince dare to answer the questions of Emperor Sheng Yuan? He could only kneel on the ground, kowtow and beg for mercy. His miserable appearance made the princes standing by fearful, and cold sweat dripped down their backs.

Emperor Zhengyuan, who was usually gentle and rarely angry, made them forget that he was not only a father. First of all, he was a king. His majesty could not be trampled by anyone, especially his sons.

He hoped that brothers and sisters would respect each other, but they fought to the death. When Lao Wu disappeared for the first time due to being hunted, Emperor Zhengyuan gave them a stern warning. But there were always people who ignored what he said. This time Lao Wu's

After being assassinated again, this gentle king finally became angry.

A monarch controls a large amount of resources. If he really needs to investigate them seriously, what else can't be found?

"Stand up, stand up if you are a man! If you like killing people so much, then go to the border and fight to the death with the enemy. In this way, you can go down in history as a hero. What kind of hero is it to hunt down your own brothers?

"

One sentence decided whether the second prince would stay or go. In the end, the second prince was demoted to a commoner by Emperor Zhengyuan, and was taken to the border to perform military service. Whether he could survive and return to the capital of this country all depended on him.

Good fortune.

Emperor Zhengyuan's harsh treatment of the mistakes made by the second prince shocked the entire government and the public. It also temporarily stopped the fighting among his princes. The turmoil caused by the injury of His Highness the fifth prince was also temporarily alleviated.

Soon the day came when the second prince was escorted to the frontier. At this time, the second prince had long lost the appearance of the energetic and noble young master before. His face was full of beard, his hair was messy, and he looked particularly haggard. He walked unsteadily.

As I walked forward, the figure gradually receding from my back showed a feeling of loneliness and helplessness.

"Third brother, are you satisfied seeing the second child in such a state?" After saying that, he turned around and walked down the city wall, never looking at Mingyang again.

The third prince Mingyang looked at the second prince who was walking away. He said nothing and walked away with a calm expression. Logically speaking, he should be happy that he had eliminated a strong competitor. But why couldn't he be happy at this moment?

He saw the fifth prince Mingyao and his famous little fiancée Yun Jin, sitting leisurely in the farewell pavilion on the roadside. There were a few simple side dishes and Yiyi sake on the stone table. They were obviously waiting for him.

The second prince walked in without hesitation, generously picked up the wine flask and poured himself a glass of wine. Then he filled up the wine glass placed in front of the fifth prince Mingyao. He drank his own glass.

Along the way, then raise your head and drink it down.

“Good wine!”

Mingyao remained silent and raised his head to drink, then refilled his and the second prince's glasses.

"I think I have no enmity with you, so why do you pursue me again and again, just for that position? But as I said, I don't care about that position, and I'm not prepared to fight for it. You

Do you hate me so much?"

"Huh, you said it very nicely. If you don't want to fight, why are you doing so many military exploits? Do you know that although you have been traveling all day long in the past two or three years, you don't seem to care about border affairs, nor do you care

Things in the court. But whenever my father and his ministers mention you, they are still full of praise."

After a pause, he continued angrily: "You work so hard to do everything well and get the support of so many people. If you say you have no idea about that position, will anyone believe it? I'm afraid.

You don’t even believe it yourself, do you?”

His face was full of disdain, as if Mingyao had told a big joke. At this moment, Mingyao felt deeply powerless.

Is it so difficult for me to contribute to this country and share my father's worries? My good intentions must lead to such deep misunderstandings from my brothers. The achievements I have worked so hard to achieve have become my life-saving talisman.

No.

This, this is not justified by nature? How can he reason with this? Thinking of this, Mingyao felt a breath of anger in his heart that he couldn't let go. He couldn't help but take action and punched him in the face.

The second prince was completely unprepared, and his face suddenly blossomed, and blood flowed from his nostrils. The second prince looked at the fifth prince in front of him in disbelief, and suddenly shouted.

"Are you crazy?"

"Yes, am I crazy? I've been driven crazy by you bunch of wolf-hearted people! You don't do practical things yourself, and you just stare at the chair where my father is sitting all day long. Don't you allow others to do things?"

After saying that, he raised his foot and kicked hard, instantly knocking the second prince to the ground. Just as he was about to step forward and punch him, the second prince took a chance and kicked him in the face. Mingyao wanted to

Dodging the sudden kick, he took several steps back with a bang.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the second prince casually wiped the blood flowing from his two nostrils with his right hand.

"Even if you don't want that position, you are there. Who do you think the ministers and father in the court will choose? You have been living a happy life outside, why do you want to come back? Without you, we will all be better

There is a fighting chance.”

"Is it because of this that you want to kill me? I haven't been on the battlefield for many years. Isn't it okay to ignore the government? Do you really want to force me to escape into Buddhism? I would like to ask my father,

For so many years, I have been lonely in the harem, and even a little eunuch dared to bully me. If I hadn't been lucky, I would have been tortured to death in the harem."

The second prince looked at the excited fifth prince Mingyao with some surprise. He stood there for a moment, but was kicked by Mingyao and rolled twice before he stopped. But he could not stand up yet.

When he got up, Mingyao had already taken a step to his side, and instantly grabbed his neck with one hand.

"In order to avoid the bullying of you people, I was forced to enter the military camp when I was twelve years old. I went to fight the enemy and fight for a chance to survive. And what were you people doing at that time? Hiding in the palace that can protect you from the wind and rain.

Listen comfortably to your teacher and learn how to govern this country."

The second prince looked dissatisfied and wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

"Now, I have finally come back alive, and I can live a peaceful life for a few days. But I am in your eyes, and you people think I am blocking your way. My mother-in-law has passed away since I was a child, and I care very much about family ties.

For this reason, I don’t even notice your petty quarrels.”

The second prince said this with disapproval on his face. The things he had done before were not taken seriously by others, and he could do whatever he wanted.

"But my concession made you mistakenly think that this prince is weak and can be bullied, so you actually mobilized a killer. Second brother, if I wanted to kill you, did you think that you would be like me, among thousands of troops, who could attack the enemy directly?
