Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

You know, in ancient times, the crime of deceiving the emperor was punishable by the execution of three generations of the clan, let alone the crime of rebellion.

Once the crime of treason is brought against someone, all nine generations of his clan will be executed.

Even if the third and fourth princes were princes, so what? There would definitely be no one alive in the Third Prince's Mansion and the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Even their mother's family might be affected.

What the Queen Mother said... was truly heartbreaking. Simply put, the Queen Mother didn't want anyone in the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince's mansions to live, including the two of them themselves.

The emperor felt a chill in his heart and immediately understood what the empress dowager meant.

Although these words were harsh, the Queen Mother was also furious.

The Queen Mother frowned at the Emperor.

"...You may think that what I said was a bit harsh, but Your Majesty, please think about it carefully.

"Now, the princes are fighting among themselves, even killing each other, just for the power!"

"There's no guarantee that they won't kill their fathers and brothers for power in the future, do you understand?!"

"!!!"

Hearing this, the emperor nodded, with a flash of determination in his eyes.

"My son understands!"

"I will definitely deal with the third and fourth sons. I will completely demote them to commoners, exile them to the border, and never see them again."

"As for everyone in their house, kill them all."

"It's just that... the third and fourth sons are my children after all..."

He couldn't really kill the third and fourth brothers.

He had already lost Jiang Zhao, and he couldn't lose another child.

Jiang Zhao has been a living dead all his life, and there is no way to reverse the current situation. Could it be that... the emperor wants to kill both the third and fourth princes? !

They are all our own children, and we treat them with respect.

The emperor knew that he could never repay the debt owed to the ninth brother. So would the third and fourth brothers have to die together? !

The ninth son is only one son, while the third and fourth sons are two sons.

Two sons together are more worthy of love than one son.

Moreover, as princes, they would be worse off dead if they received such a punishment...

After all, the emperor couldn't make up his mind.

He couldn't really kill his own son, what would that mean for him? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.

The emperor's hands were trembling slightly.

The empress dowager listened to the emperor's words, nodded, and said nothing.

To me, these are all my grandchildren.

The emperor is his son, and all the emperor's sons are naturally his grandsons. He naturally feels that there is no difference between the third, fourth and ninth sons.

But...the Queen Mother still favors Jiang Zhao more.

Because he suffered more than any other child.

The Queen Mother felt that the Emperor's actions were ultimately unfair.

Why did Jiang Zhao become a living dead, while the third and fourth princes were still alive and well, but were exiled?

Why are they two still alive when everyone else is dead?

The Queen Mother sighed.

Chen Zhining's eyes had become dim. She shed tears silently without saying anything.

Afterwards, the emperor looked at Chen Zhining with some guilt, and slowly said to her: "That... Zhining, I know that I really owe a lot to your Ninth Prince's Mansion. I didn't expect that the Ninth Prince would... Alas as soon as he went to Yongzhou."

"If I had known this earlier, I would never have sent him to Yongzhou."

"Old Nine's wife, please don't blame me!"

"..."

When Chen Zhining heard this, he immediately knelt down and spoke sincerely to the emperor.

"In reply to your father's words, no matter what, Lao Jiu and I have never regretted being sent to Yongzhou by your father."

"Going to Yongzhou to guard the border is the responsibility of every one of us subjects. Lao Jiu and I are the royal prince and princess, and this is our responsibility."

"What's more, even if you are an ordinary person, you still have to guard the border."

"We are the people of Zhou and Song. We are fighting for our country. This is normal."

"It's just a pity... The only regret for me and Lao Jiu is that we didn't die on the battlefield, but died so miserably, in the calculations of our own brothers."

"..."

As Chen Zhining spoke, she shed a tear at just the right moment and spoke to the emperor with red eyes.

"I only hope that Father can bring His Majesty the Ninth Prince back safely."

"..."

"It's natural."

"It's natural..."

The emperor's voice was trembling.

He assured Chen Zhining: "I will definitely treat you and our four children well."

"You and Lao Jiu's four children are the only things Lao Jiu left us."

Now, isn't Jiang Zhao no different from being dead?! The emperor had mixed feelings.

He couldn't imagine what the Queen would feel when she learned the news.

He sighed and said to Chen Zhining, "After that, Wenqing and Wenyan will be Prince Qi and Prince Lin, enjoying the princely title forever, and the title will be passed down from generation to generation. It shows that the emperor does not kneel."

"In the future...when they marry and have children, they will be given the title of Prince of Two Characters."

Today, Wen Guang is the Crown Prince of Rongbao, and Zhao Jia is the Grand Princess of Chang'an, and their titles can no longer be promoted.

Now, if one wants to reward the Ninth Prince’s Mansion, one can only reward the two children.

Although Prince Qi and Prince Lin are young, the glory of being a prince will follow them throughout their lives.

And...this was what their father bought for them.

"There is no prince in the entire royal family now. Wenqing and Wenyan directly surpassed their uncle and became princes. This is not bad."

The emperor sighed and said to Chen Zhining: "Although it has violated some rules, it is necessary... that is the word 'violation'."

"Otherwise, how can I show my favor to the Ninth Prince's Mansion?!"

"This is the only way I can compensate you."

"..."

Chen Zhining's eyes were sore. Now, Wen Guang was the heir apparent of the Second Prince, and he would be the Second Prince in the future.

Wenqing and Wenyan were both princes, and her daughter Zhaojia was the Grand Princess of Chang'an, the highest title in the royal family of this dynasty.

He was right. Even the second prince, the third prince and the fourth prince did not have such a high title.

As a nephew, his title is directly higher than that of his uncles, which makes these uncles very embarrassed.

But no one could question the emperor's reward.

The emperor was indeed very partial to them.

But all this bias was paid for by Jiang Zhao's life.

In the eyes of the emperor, Jiang Zhao’s life was not enough to exchange for the lives of the third and fourth brothers.

After all, he didn't like Jiang Zhao enough.
