Alternative Rival

"Prince, what are you doing? Get up quickly." The emperor was startled, and immediately ordered the servants around him, "Wu Gao, cough, cough—help the prince up quickly."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The little prince avoided the hand of the servant.He seemed to be deliberating, bowed his head in silence for an extreme period of time, raised his head and asked: "As far as my son knows, Lone Star's coming-of-age ceremony was set long ago, and self-killing is already cruel enough, why do you want to continue?" Treat these as bets and jokes?"

The emperor calmly explained: "Nowadays the world is at peace and there is no war. Everyone is idle and looking for something to enjoy. They are machines. The emperor is too benevolent. In the future, you will inherit the throne and treat the enemy You can't be soft-hearted."

"But even if they are enemies, they still have self-respect. Father, you are not a lone star. How do you know that they have no feelings and no pain?! They have transplanted human genes, and they will feel what we feel. If now Would you be happy to have such a group of people teasing us like this?" The little prince originally wanted to use Lin Jian as an example, but he swallowed the rest of the words for fear of hurting her.

The emperor's expression was already a bit ugly, but his tone was still calm: "My son, you are tired, so you don't want to participate in the performance for a while, come here, and send the prince back to the palace."

He blurted out: "My son, if you don't leave, I can't watch my father make mistakes again and again for such an inhumane thing!"

The little prince was so excited that he even forgot what he called himself.

"Yan Wugou!"

The emperor sternly called out the little prince's full name, and the palace servant quickly trotted a few steps to pull the little prince up, and whispered comforting words in his ear: "Your Highness, the future will be long, don't be so stubborn with your majesty, today is his birthday, now Obviously angry, if you continue to make trouble, you will be punished."

His Royal Highness, who has always been gentle and easy-going, seemed to have changed suddenly. His knees seemed to be nailed to the ground, but the servant did not pull him up. He raised his head and gave the servant a fixed look. Letting go, he backed away reflexively.

The little prince——Yan Wugou first kowtowed heavily to the emperor, and a small red mark appeared on his forehead immediately. He looked directly at the emperor and said, "Please forgive me for the crime of direct remonstrance."

Immediately he took a deep breath, and said in a loud voice loud enough for other nobles to hear: "Dare to ask my father, the establishment of such an arena is beneficial to the country and the people? This summer, there is a severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and floods in the north. The nobles He is greedy for pleasure, he can't go up and down, and the money invested in this arena is enough to let the people of one side survive the disaster year smoothly. The aristocrats in Beijing are arrogant, extravagant and licentious. How can you set an example for a country when you are with them? You always teach your children to put the country first and not be greedy for enjoyment. Have you done it yourself, Father? First of all, the establishment of this arena is injustice to the people.”

The audience was silent, and the nobleman who was still clutching the banknote silently put his hands in his pockets.

"My son once heard that my great-grandfather developed Lone Star to protect the family and the country. Today, the world is stable. In addition to Huang Tian's grace and father's rule of the country, what is even more important is that the Lone Stars sacrificed their lives The victory of a war. Not to mention thousands of miles away, even around this arena, the people who protect us are all lone stars. If they see us treat their compatriots like this, how will they feel? Things will be reversed, father Aren't you afraid that one day a group of lone stars will attack and destroy Tianxiu Kingdom's millennium foundation?!"

Hearing what he said, the nobles present all turned their heads to look at Lone Star who was guarding them, for fear that if they were not careful, the other party would point their guns at themselves.But after only three seconds, they completely dispelled this idea. Their procedures are all set, they must always be loyal to the royal family, and must not betray.After listening for so long, aren't these lone stars still expressionless?Machines are machines, expect them to be like people?How is that possible?What a terrible thing that was.

Even the emperor was terrified.

The three lone stars from modern times all said inwardly that it was not good. Didn't the little prince's words deliberately arouse the vigilance of the confused ancient Tianxiu people?But after a while they were relieved, because the nobles were obviously too confident in themselves to believe in such a possibility at all.While the three felt fortunate, they also felt that they were very sad. A highly intelligent nation that could have lasted for a long time was destroyed because of conceit, arrogance, and insolence. With a little gentler means, maybe artificial intelligence and human beings can achieve peaceful coexistence.

"What nonsense are you talking about?! I think you have been with Lone Star for a long time every day, and you want to become Lone Star too." The emperor was furious, trembling with anger, and his body, which was not very strong, trembled. Like fallen leaves in the wind, the queen had just got up, and the concubine Yue Gui had already snuggled up to her delicately, her small hands kept stroking the emperor's chest, and said softly, "Your Majesty~ Calm down, your highness is still young, I don't know what's going on It's normal, just teach me more, today is your birthday, don't get angry because of a little thing, it's unlucky."

Concubine Yue's hands were weak and boneless, and she touched the emperor's chest, causing the emperor's anger to sink slowly. He immediately flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "Enough! Don't let me get out of here. a shame."

"My son hasn't finished yet." The little prince said calmly.

The palace slave pressed his forehead and thought: My Highness, this time it is doomed.The father and son are normally kind and filial, why did they suddenly become obsessed with each other?

The emperor's chest rose and fell again, and Concubine Yue continued to rub it: "Emperor..."

"Don't appease me, let him talk."

The emperor has always been majestic and inviolable. His own son challenged his authority again and again, which really made him unable to swallow this breath. Why don't you just listen to him and punish him together? Today, you can't let him off easily he.

"If there is anything else to say, you can say it together. Hmph, I want to see how unbearable I am in your heart."

"I have absolutely no such intention." The little prince kowtowed again, "I'm just talking about the facts. This arena is a huge project that wastes people's money, second, the nobles blatantly gather to gamble to corrupt the atmosphere, and third, it violates human nature by killing lonely stars." , there is a lot of harm and no benefit. My son implores the father to abandon the arena, so that he can be a king who will live forever."

He lowered his body so low that his whole body was almost on the ground, with his palms flat on the ground, in front of his shoulders, in a very humble posture.

The emperor looked down at the back of his head and smiled slowly.

Just when the palace slave thought that the little prince had escaped the catastrophe, and was about to obey orders to help him up, the little prince's thin body suddenly flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, his long sleeves were rubbed against his arms, and his snow-white elbows were on the ground Grind to a bright red.

The palace servant stepped out with one foot, and his senses returned to the cage in an instant, and he immediately took it back, fixed in place like a wooden sculpture, looking at the little prince who fell on the ground with distress.

He got up from the ground and knelt again, still in a humble and prostrate posture.

"What you said just now, say it again."

"I implore Father, to abandon the arena."

The arm that was worn bright red just now was suddenly kicked, and he was sideways on the ground, the gravel was kicked into his flesh, his arm was burning hot, as if he had sprinkled a handful of salt on the wound, he gasped in pain With a cold breath, he hissed and said: "I implore father, to abandon the arena."

The voice was even louder than before.

Lin Jian couldn't help but took a step forward, but only took one step.

"Say it again." The emperor said darkly, kicking the young man's thin chest.

"My son, cough, cough, please," the young man knelt on the ground, his face was white and his lips were pale, his chest was overwhelming, his mouth and nose were almost filled with a strong smell of blood, and his ears were buzzing, "I beg your father, cough Cough, the abandoned corner..."

The queen cried and rushed forward and hugged the emperor's waist: "The emperor's body is weak, you will kill him if you do this."

"Let go of me!" the emperor said angrily, "Nizi! I regret giving birth to him!"

"No matter what, he is also His Majesty's only son! The emperor is usually obedient and obedient, but he just contradicted His Majesty on the spur of the moment. It's all because of his concubine's improper parenting. If there is any punishment, it will be directed at the concubine."

The emperor still respected the queen very much, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "As long as he respectfully bows his head to me and admits his mistake, I can let the past go."

The empress looked happy, and while pressing the emperor's arm, she whispered anxiously: "Emperor, admit your mistake."

The little prince looked at her stubbornly, as if he was unrepentant.Seeing that the emperor was about to be furious again, Lin Jian, who was more than a dozen steps away, moved his hand hanging by his side. The little prince suddenly coughed violently, and the blood in his mouth choked on the ground. Rolling his eyes up, he passed out directly.

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd.

Those who called "Emperor", those who called the imperial doctor, and those who hurriedly prepared their cars to return to the palace, and some people ran to the little prince's side in the chaos, and massaged his back twice with the palm of his hand, and the turbid and heavy breathing of the sleeping person gradually became Long live the peace.

Lin Jian hugged the little prince and got on the carriage, and cast a veiled wink at the two commanders of the imperial guards who were leading behind.

The gladiatorial performance stopped halfway, and finally did not continue.

Although everything went according to the original plan, Lin Jian looked at the pale Yan Wugou who was lying in her arms, feeling a trace of guilt. She gently wiped off the blood stains on the young man's forehead with a wet square towel , said in a low voice:

sorry.
