Chapter 1139 The Imperial Family is the Most Helpless

He knew that Lao Jiu certainly did not listen to his warning and eventually told Concubine Jing the questions he had asked Lao Jiu.

But he did not pursue it.

He had always been thinking that if he had not asked Lao Jiu that question that time, perhaps, he would not have aroused their desire for the position of crown prince.

He gave Lao Jiu hope, but quickly cut off Lao Jiu's hope.

So, that led to all this.

However, when the truth came out, he realized that he had nothing to do all day and thought too much.

Regardless of whether he has revealed that thought to Lao Jiu or not, they have to fight for it!

Instead, it was his own momentary kindness that almost caused immeasurable losses to Daqian.

Concubine Jing showed a trace of a sad smile on her face, "I thought I had misunderstood His Majesty's intention, but I didn't expect that His Majesty really had this idea! If His Majesty had this idea, why did he let the Crown Prince be the regent and give him all the power?"

Speaking of this, Concubine Jing showed a trace of unwillingness on her face.

She didn't expect that even though she had understood it correctly, Emperor Wen was so fickle.

"I really wanted to make Lao Jiu the crown prince at that time!"

Emperor Wen sighed softly, "But after my trip to Shuobei, I realized that the country can only be handed over to Lao Liu!"

"Whether it's the Third Prince, the Ninth Prince, or any other princes, even if they were all combined, they would not be able to defeat the Sixth Prince!"

"Only if I hand over this country to the Sixth Brother can my Daqian be stable and usher in a true prosperous era!"

"I am a father, but first and foremost an emperor!"

"I cannot let down my ancestors and the people of the world, nor do I want to be labeled a tyrant in history books..."

Sixth child?

Yunzheng!

Emperor Wen wants to hand over the country to Yun Zheng!

But he's not...

Concubine Jing looked at Emperor Wen in shock, "Your Majesty, don't you want to hand over the country to the Crown Prince?"

"No one can give this country to him!" Emperor Wen said calmly: "He is just a chess piece. His role as regent is to clear all obstacles for the Sixth Prince!"

After receiving Emperor Wen's affirmative answer, Concubine Jing could not help but sit there in a daze.

Yunzheng!

Everything Emperor Wen did was to prepare for passing the throne to Yun Zheng!

Not to mention her, even Yun Li, the Crown Prince who is the Regent, is just paving the way for Yun Zheng!

All of them were deceived by Emperor Wen!

OK!

He is such a good emperor!

It was in vain that he and Yun Li's gang thought themselves to be smart, but they didn't expect that they were played around in his hands!

They argued back and forth, but ended up being a joke!

She also understood that when Emperor Wen told her all this honestly, she was already considered dead!

Emperor Wen would never spare her life and give her the chance to tell Yun Li all this.

After a long while, Concubine Jing showed a look of sudden enlightenment on her face, "So, the emperor sent someone to kill Xu Yuncheng and then framed the Dongqiao Wang family for the crime?"

Before this, she had always thought that the people of Dongqiao Wang family were too stupid, even to the point of assassinating the imperial envoy.

Thinking about it now, it seems that everything is clear.

"We are just dealing with the Dongqiao Wang family. Why do we need to frame them?"

Emperor Wen shook his head slightly. "I only ordered Han Jin to secretly send someone to inform the people of Dongqiao Wang's family, so that they would think that Han Jin and Xu Yuncheng have completely grasped the evidence of their collusion with the Red Moon Sect. If they don't get the evidence, they will be exterminated! They have no choice but to take the risk!"

"Your Majesty is really good at this!"

Concubine Jing showed a bitter smile on her face, "I have no complaints about losing!"

Emperor Wen once again fooled everyone.

Not only did he destroy the Wang family of Dongqiao with his own hands, but he also felt a strong sense of crisis, forcing him to take risks.

"You didn't lose to me, you lost to Old Six!"

Emperor Wen shook his head again. “Those people of yours are indeed very loyal to you! Han Jin investigated so hard, but he didn’t find you! If it weren’t for Old Six who found Meng Ruowang, maybe you wouldn’t have been exposed so quickly.”

"It's him?"

Concubine Jing was surprised and looked at Emperor Wen in disbelief.

"Old Six's methods are much stronger than you think."

Emperor Wen smiled to himself, "That's why I said that all the princes in the court combined cannot defeat him! If he were in the imperial city, he would have caught you long ago."

Concubine Jing was surprised, "It seems that His Majesty is very satisfied with the Sixth Prince!"

Emperor Wen nodded slightly: "He is the most like me among all the princes, but he is more capable than me. Not only did he help me wash away the shame of the defeat in Shuobei, but he also helped me conquer thousands of miles of territory. Of course, I am satisfied."

Concubine Jing smiled bitterly, "It's really hard for His Majesty. He has to pretend to hate his son so much all day long!"

I have to say that Emperor Wen's disguise was truly impeccable.

None of them had ever doubted that Emperor Wen's hatred for Yun Zheng was completely feigned.

When Yun Zheng forced Bei Huan to surrender, she suspected that Emperor Wen was not that angry about Yun Zheng's usurpation of military power.

She also suspected that Emperor Wen might be forced to appoint Yun Zheng as the crown prince due to the situation.

But when Emperor Wen appointed Yun Li as regent, all her doubts disappeared.

Emperor Wen smiled bitterly and sighed, "If I don't do this, how can I deceive the Third Brother and the old fox around him?"

"It is indeed true that the imperial family is the most ruthless!" Concubine Jing sighed.

Who could have thought that even the Crown Prince Regent could become a pawn?

Throughout history, how many emperors dared to delegate so much power to the crown prince?

They overestimated their own wisdom and underestimated Emperor Wen's courage.

"It should be said that the imperial family is the most helpless."

Emperor Wen shook his head and sighed.

"maybe!"

Concubine Jing smiled faintly.

"Let me ask you another question!"

Emperor Wen said, his eyes suddenly became sharp, "Does the former crown prince's rebellion case have anything to do with you?"

Concubine Jing was silent.

After a while, Concubine Jing spoke calmly: "Since Your Majesty has already guessed the answer, why does he need to ask me again?"

"I must ask!"

Emperor Wen finally showed anger on his face, and he growled, "Why did you team up with the Third Brother to harm my prince?"

"The Ninth Brother is so young, why do you think that if you harm the First Brother, I will definitely make him the Crown Prince?"

"Since you want to fight for the position of crown prince for the ninth brother, why don't you tell me about the third brother's plot to murder the eldest brother?"

Emperor Wen had too many doubts about this matter.

He suddenly realized that he had never understood Concubine Jing.

Seeing that Emperor Wen finally showed anger on his face, Concubine Jing couldn't help but feel a sense of revenge in her heart, "Your Majesty is such a scheming person, how could he ask such a question?"

"What do you mean?"

Emperor Wen looked at Concubine Jing coldly.

Concubine Jing smiled even more: "If I tell His Majesty all that, wouldn't His Majesty suspect that I was involved? Wouldn't that be like confessing my crime?"

"Isn't Meng Ruowang your man?"

Emperor Wen clenched his fists tightly. "Wouldn't you arrange for him to do this? As the Imperial Censor, he has the power to supervise all officials. Would I be suspicious if he did this?"
