Xiao Tiandou looked at Emperor Cheng Ming from the side and said: "I have heard some of your deeds. To be honest, I have always been curious and want to ask you some questions."
When Emperor Cheng Ming heard this, he thought there was room for relaxation in the relationship between their ancestors and grandsons.
He then said, "Just ask."
Little Sweet Dou bowed her hand to him, looking very polite: "I heard that you raised your son by raising poison, which caused all the princes to kill each other."
"Do you think this method can cultivate the best emperor and make all sons successful?"
"I would like to ask, are all your sons successful?"
Emperor Chengming: "..."
This is heartbreaking.
Tang Miaoxin and Ning Guzhou looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
In fact, the two of them rarely talked about Emperor Cheng Ming in front of Xiao Tiandou, let alone taught Xiao Tiandou to ask questions like Emperor Cheng Ming.
Emperor Chengming's face was very ugly and he said nothing.
Little Sweet Bean didn't need his answer, and continued to ask: "I know that the closest people in this world are parents and children."
"Now you are surrounded by my father in this deep palace, with only an old eunuch by your side."
"I want to ask you, those sons you taught with all your heart? Where have they gone?"
"Why didn't they come to accompany you, why didn't they come to protect you?"
Asking these questions is like putting a knife in the chest of Emperor Cheng Ming.
Even though Emperor Cheng Ming only valued power and was very indifferent to family ties, he still wanted family ties.
He didn't think what would happen if no one was by his side before, but now he felt very uncomfortable.
He gritted his teeth and said, "What do you know at such a young age?"
Little Sweet Bean looked curious and said: "It is precisely because I am young and ignorant that I ask you. Please help me clear up my doubts."
Emperor Chengming: "..."
He was stunned by the question.
He felt that Ning Guzhou and his family of three were deliberately trying to disgust him and embarrass him.
Little Sweet Pea continued: "There is one more question."
"I only said that when you came to the throne, the total population of Dayan was more than 8 million households, but now it has dropped sharply to only more than 7 million households."
"I would like to ask, as an emperor who thinks he is extremely capable and wants to unify the six countries, how did you manage to reduce the country's total population by more than one million households in more than 20 years in office?
"
Emperor Chengming: "..."
Emperor Cheng Ming: "!!!!!"
If the previous questions are just internal conflicts within the royal family, then this question is a denial of his ability and political level.
All of this added up, basically means that he has done a terrible job in both national affairs and family affairs.
This incident can be said to have broken Emperor Cheng Ming’s heart!
He had always believed that even if he could not become an emperor for eternity, he would still be quite powerful compared to ordinary emperors.
But Xiao Tiandou's words directly split his self-deception.
He wants to vomit blood again!
Tang Miaoxin gave Emperor Chengming another injection, but this time he couldn't vomit blood even if he wanted to, so he fainted immediately.
Xiao Tiandou looked at Emperor Cheng Ming with a look of disgust and said, "I heard people say that he is very powerful before, so I thought that his psychological quality should be very good."
"But after just saying a few words to him, he couldn't do it anymore. This is too bad!"
"I've prepared a lot of things that I haven't finished yet!"
Ning Guzhou said quietly: "He has always been like this."
He is the one who knows Emperor Cheng Ming best among all the people. He knows that this guy has mediocre abilities and a strong competitive spirit, and he cannot bear to hear a bad word said about him.
It's just that the things he did were criticized.
The atmosphere in the officialdom of Dayan was extremely bad, and it was inextricably linked to Emperor Cheng Ming.
At this time, Emperor Cheng Ming fainted, and Ning Guzhou asked Li Shiying to continue serving Emperor Cheng Ming.
Li Shiying knelt on the ground and said: "The emperor has invited the concubine's memorial tablet into the main hall. Would you like to see it?"
Ning Guzhou was a little surprised, but nodded lightly.
Li Shiying opened a cabinet, and Ning Guzhou saw Yu Bin's memorial tablet, with incense beside it, and a thick layer of incense ash accumulated in the incense burner.
Judging from the appearance of the incense ashes, I am afraid that Emperor Cheng Ming often offered incense to his concubine.
Li Shiying said softly: "Your Majesty, in fact, the emperor has always missed his empress very much."
"Although he has rarely shown anything to the outside over the years, we all know that in the emperor's heart, he always has his empress."
"What happened back then exceeded his expectations, and he didn't expect that the empress would make such a choice."
Ning Guzhou's eyes instantly turned cold when he heard this: "If this is what he calls deep affection, I believe that my mother and concubine will not be surprised at all."
Tang Miaoxin said from the side: "Belated affection is inferior to grass. Why should she accept it if he says he has deep affection for his mother?"
"I believe that if my mother and concubine were alive in heaven, I would probably spit in his face."
Li Shiying didn't dare to answer the question. The fact was that these words were what Emperor Cheng Ming had previously instructed him to say.
In the final analysis, Emperor Cheng Ming just wanted to repair some of the father-son relationship with Ning Guzhou.
It's just that these methods of his are simply ridiculous in Ning Guzhou's opinion.
After Ning Guzhou finished handling the matters here, he asked Mu Yunxiu when he walked out of the hall: "What is the situation over there with General Jin?"
Mu Yunxiu smiled: "I really can't hide anything from the prince."
Ning Guzhou said quietly: "I have dealt with General Jin before. He has a very tough temper. It is impossible for him to write such a letter."
Mu Yunxiu took out another letter from his sleeve and handed it to Ning Guzhou: "I just think that since the prince is here to trouble Emperor Cheng Ming, this matter must be done well."
"After all, he is the prince's biological father. It would be inappropriate to kill him directly."
"Compared to murder, killing one's heart may have a greater impact."
"So I think he needs to really realize the truth that he is surrounded and alienated from everyone."
"It might be more effective to kill him from here, so I personally wrote such a letter of surrender."
Ning Guzhou knew before that he had the ability to imitate other people's handwriting, and this letter even imitated the typos commonly used by General Jin.
Mu Yunxiu's work was as prudent and thorough as ever, making it impossible to find any flaws.
Ning Guzhou looked at him and said: "With your talents, I think it would be a pity not to be the prime minister."
Mu Yunxiu said in a calm tone: "I have rejected Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess many times on this matter, and there is no way I can agree to it this time."
Ning Guzhou glanced at him sideways, said nothing, and lowered his head to read the letter.
This letter from General Jin is actually very simple, just an invitation to Ning Guzhou to leave the city.
The letter did not mention anything else, and the tone was very bland, as if it was a chat between old friends.
