Jiang Sheng never expected that the emperor would issue the imperial edict so simply.
But Yuyang came to him in a panic again: "Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Jiang Sheng was so angry that he wanted to slap him: "Why did you come here so blatantly? Are you trying to harm Gu Gu?"
Yuyang hurriedly apologized: "Yes, Xiaodao is wrong. But Xiaodao has to be anxious! Your Highness, the Holy One has already issued a decree to appoint Xuanfei as his successor!"
Jiang Sheng said coldly: "The successor is the successor. What's so great about being a small Guanzhu?"
He is troubled! This Yuyang is still making noises.
To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to the position of the temple master of Xuandu Temple at all. Yuyang could be the best, and there were many people in front of his father to help him speak. But Xuanfei became the temple master, which was not good for him.
There is no loss. When he succeeds to the throne, will Xuanfei still confront him?
What he was afraid of was what he had done before!
He asked Yuyang to accuse Yang Shu of being a demon star, but in the end there was no turmoil at all, and it just calmed down. Hearing that the two of them had a quarrel, the emperor called them there, but only Xuanfei was summoned, and Yuyang was not seen.
.
What does this mean? He doesn’t trust Yuyang!
Since you no longer trust him, will he doubt Yuyang? If his father knew that he was the one who instigated Yuyang to say those words...
Jiang Sheng shuddered, feeling scared and angry at the same time.
Couldn't even the talk of the demon star make him a little more suspicious of that boy? In his heart, that boy was so trustworthy?
"Your Highness!" Yuyang was stunned, "I only said those words for you! This is nothing but fabrication and frame-up! Don't you care at all?"
Just as Jiang Sheng was about to speak, they were suddenly interrupted by the loud shouts of his personal guards from outside: "Your Highness, the Holy Spirit is here!"
Jiang Sheng was startled and walked over quickly without caring about Yuyang.
The emperor had already come over. When he saw Yuyang here, he glanced at him and said indifferently: "It turns out that Immortal Yuyang and Huang'er are so good, but I was negligent."
Jiang Sheng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet me: "My dear father, please just call me if you have something to do. Why are you here in person?"
The emperor sat down and said calmly: "I'm afraid of being embarrassed! If you don't come here in person, how can you let others know about the good things you have done?"
These words were not polite at all. Jiang Sheng felt cold when he heard this: "Father!"
The emperor's eyes turned cold and he looked at Yuyang: "Chief Immortal, it's better to go back first and ask us, father and son, to talk for a while."
How could Yuyang dare to say no? He originally thought he was finished, but when the emperor told him to leave, he felt like he was being pardoned: "Xiao Dao, please leave."
After saying that, he exited the door and ran away.
The emperor looked at his back and snorted.
Seeing him wink, Wan Dabao said: "Your Majesty wants to speak to His Highness the Crown Prince, everyone should go out!"
Everyone around the prince was kicked out, and Wan Dabao himself bowed and left, carefully closing the door.
Jiang Sheng's heart went cold, and he looked at the emperor uneasily: "Father," his voice was faintly pleading.
The emperor's face was as dark as water and he looked at him coldly.
As he watched, Jiang Sheng knelt down and lowered his head deeply.
The emperor sighed, with unspeakable disappointment in his voice: "Look at you, how do you look like a prince? I haven't done anything yet, but you feel good about it. Do you know that you are wrong?"
Jiang Sheng lowered his head and said nothing.
The emperor's face darkened and he shouted: "Speak! Why are you pretending to be mute at this time!"
Jiang Sheng opened his mouth: "My son, my son..."
The emperor held his forehead and felt a dull pain in his head again. His voice was tired: "Before Yuyang came to complain to me, didn't he meet you first?"
Jiang Sheng lowered his head, but he acquiesced.
"Why frame him?"
Jiang Sheng's head dropped lower.
The emperor picked up the tea cup and smashed it: "I don't dare to say it now? I really didn't expect that you would be so brave! You actually used the demon star to eradicate dissidents! If I believe it and miss the real demon star, it will be a disaster.
Qi’s sinner, do you understand?!”
Jiang Sheng was horrified: "I don't mean this, I just..."
"Just what?" The emperor said with a sullen face, "Why did you frame him? Tell me!"
After a long while, Jiang Sheng finally whispered: "Because... I am jealous."
The emperor narrowed his eyes.
Just listen to Jiang Sheng say: "My son is jealous of him. Jealous that he can easily win your favor, jealous that he can always be so close to you. Father, how long has it been since you saw my son alone? I didn't keep my son with me."
Have you had dinner? You haven't listened carefully to what I have said for a long time even when you are doing business..."
The emperor was startled.
Jiang Sheng raised his face, his eyes full of grief and anger: "But these are so easy for him! Why? Is your son no longer your beloved son? Because with him, you don't need your son anymore?"
Jiang Sheng covered his face and his voice was choked with sobs: "Since the death of my mother, my son seems to be no longer your son. You are no longer proud of me, and you no longer personally teach me political affairs. Father, if you don't want a son
My son, why don’t you..."
Jiang Sheng held back those last words.
After a long time, he heard the emperor sigh.
"I am very disappointed in you." He heard the emperor say each word.
Jiang Sheng's heart felt cold.
Have you finally found a reason to depose the prince? I wonder what reason he wants to find to restore the boy's identity? Oh, the illegitimate son who has not been recorded in the jade plate is said to be of royal blood. How can the courtiers agree? Even so, the father will still...
…
"You are going to be the emperor. How can you be so jealous of a minister and have the magnanimity of a king?"
Minister? What does the father say?
Jiang Sheng raised his head numbly and saw the emperor looking down at him. Although his eyes were not kind, they were not as disgusting as he thought.
His father's eyes were still cold when he looked at him, just like in the past years: "I didn't have to come. I would have written down everything you did. When I couldn't bear it anymore, I would have changed to another prince. Anyway, I am not the only one."
You have a son."
Is that really the case?
But what the emperor said next was beyond his expectation: "But I still decided to come. Although I have many sons, I spend the most time on you, so I can't punish you without teaching."
What is he talking about?
"Listen carefully, I have never thought of abolishing you. Don't do unnecessary things. You are the crown prince, why should you argue with your ministers? In the past few years, I have not paid much attention to you. You should make progress! Follow these few people.
Prime Minister, please learn how to handle government affairs and cultivate some reputation so that you will not lose power in the future."
Jiang Sheng had a suspicious look on his face.
What is Father talking about? He, he...
Seeing him like this, the emperor became more and more disappointed, but he still said the last words: "Let this matter be over, I will not pursue it. But you have to remember, I will keep this matter in mind for you, and one day you will have a trance again,
Just two mistakes and a penalty! This is your last chance, seize it!"
After saying this, the emperor walked away.
Jiang Sheng was left stunned for a long time, then suddenly jumped up, ecstatic.
