monopolize my master

Chapter 59 The second so-called cause and effect

It's still a dungeon.

The aged emperor was imprisoned on the top floor of the Tian Prison in Dali Temple.The cold air was mixed with the stench in the cell, and the old emperor couldn't help shaking a few times.

He never imagined that, after exhausting all his tricks, he would be able to end up in the situation he is today.

He has long been aware of the conspiracy of the eldest prince Su Huan and his mother, Mrs. Li, but he has another plan in his heart.Mrs. Li, a mere prince, he never paid attention to.

It's just that the child in the East Palace, he can't tolerate it no matter what.

Since when did I hate that child so much?

Maybe some people are wrong.

The old emperor thought so more than once.

He used to be one of the most proud princes under the late emperor's knees. He did not lose to others in terms of culture, intelligence and martial arts. However, the first emperor's favorite was always his closest brother, Prince Jinghe. Those officials were full of praise. King Jinghe of the bright moon and the breeze.

He kept working hard and wanted the emperor to pay more attention to himself than King Jinghe.So he put more effort than others in handling government affairs and military planning.When Dayin was first established for seven years, Mobei launched a war.He took the initiative to invite Ying, led an army to drive straight in, and defeated the enemy without sleep for five days. However, when he was about to pursue the victory, the first emperor sent a gold medal imperial order to recall him.

He was very confused and reluctantly returned to the court. As soon as he entered the door, his elder brother Jing and Wang came up to him with anxious faces and asked him if he was injured.

At that moment, he seemed to understand everything.The reason why the emperor asked him to return to the court in class was probably at the suggestion of this good son with outstanding virtues.Burning with anger, he not only ignored King Jinghe's concern, but even fought him in the hall.In the end, the first emperor stopped him, beat him with twenty army sticks, and ordered him to go back to the mansion and think about his mistakes behind closed doors before giving up.

The more he thought about it, the more he hated it, so he transferred the accumulated anger for many years to King Jinghe.Even though he later learned that the reason why King Jinghe proposed to let him return to the imperial court was because of the secret alliance between Moon Eclipse and King Mobei.

But his malice towards Jing and Wang is already deeply ingrained.

He pretended to reconcile with Su Yin, and pleaded guilty to him to show his fault.Fooled everyone.Therefore, no one knew what kind of huge conspiracy this increasingly taciturn boy had already begun to plot in his heart.

A few years later, a woman named Mu Jinyun entered the palace.He did not expect that this woman was the one who tore off the mask of hypocrisy by himself, and what he did not expect was that he could not help but fall in love with that woman covered in thorns.

It's just that fate has always been like this, always pushing him into an unstoppable abyss.

The woman he loves, the person he yearns for, is still his elder brother Jinghe.

He was resentful and unwilling.The mask of hypocrisy can no longer conceal his inflated ambitions and desires.He thought of countless reasons for breaking with Jing and Wang, but the only thing he didn't think of was that the last reason was because of a woman.

On the wedding night, Mu Jinyun threatened him with death, but he failed to coerce and lure him, so he had to abide by the agreement and not touch her at all.However, when she saw her weeping for King Jinghe who was on the expedition, she broke this seemingly harmonious agreement after drinking heavily.

Still unwilling, jealous, and deeply malicious.

later.

He seemed to be on a path of no return.He began to form cliques for personal gain, and he began to plot and plot.He no longer thought about winning the favor of his father, but used another more extreme method to get what he wanted.

rights, and hearts.

He colluded with the Jianghu organization recruited by the emperor in Jinping City, and discovered the huge benefits in it.He launched a mutiny, eradicated dissidents, and finally became the only king logically.

When rumors spread, he sent troops to suppress them, and when there were too many criticisms from the court, he used various methods to warn them to shut up.In this way, the most difficult three years passed, and his position became more and more stable, until no one around him understood him and accompanied him.

Mu Jinyun is pregnant.

While he was ecstatic, there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.At that time, his punishment of Jinghe Wang gradually relaxed, and the elder brother returned to Donghui.No, it was impossible to meet his wife at all.

Full of doubts and malicious conjectures, he tried to force Mu Jinyun to kill the child several times, but he never succeeded.Mu Jinyun's desire to protect this child became more and more intense, far exceeding his imagination.

Intuition told him that it was not his child.

But even so, he couldn't attack Mu Jinyun head-on, nor could he get rid of his flesh and blood.until the child was born.

When Mu Jinyun was giving birth, a message suddenly came from outside the door, saying that there was a riot in the Jinghe Palace, with the intention of rebellion.At this time, Mu Jinyun had a difficult labor, his consciousness was blurred, and the ones he kept calling were all Su Yin's names.

The malice under his rage was like an erupting volcano, unstoppable.He made a crazy and stubborn decision.He drove away all the people in the queen's palace, quietly watched Mu Jinyun give birth to the child alone, and then took the child away.Then it was announced to the outside world that the queen passed away.Then they found two imperial physicians to revive Mu Jinyun, and put her in the cold palace together with her personal maid.

From now on, there will be no Empress Showa in the world, and he will have no weakness.

He looked at the little child in his arms, and after some hesitation, he spared his life and made a crazy decision.

He wanted this child to be the target of public criticism instead of him.

He doesn't trust the child's lineage, but needs a legitimate pawn.He told Empress Showa, who was imprisoned in the cold palace, that the princess she gave birth to had passed away, and declared that the child was born by Empress Showa. At the age of five, he was named the Prince of the Eastern Palace.

He made this child who didn't know anything, respectfully and respectfully called him father, stand on the cusp of where he used to be.

He didn't teach him court etiquette, he didn't teach him how to deal with political affairs, how to deal with people, he just blindly taught him the headaches of the Four Books and Five Classics, which were used to paralyze his mind, resulting in aversion to government affairs and aversion to learning.And he did.He made the child who was suspected to be not his own a veritable trash—at least, in the eyes of everyone.

Su Huang became the image of an unlearned, unruly, indifferent and unkind prince in the eyes of officials and common people.He has no power and power in the court, just like a duckweed floating around.All senior officials could see that the emperor cared about the crown prince on the surface, but in reality he was pushing him into the abyss step by step.

It's like a chess piece that can be discarded at any time.

Of course, he thought so too.It's just that he never thought that letting that young man named Ling Xiao into the palace would lead to today's situation.

That boy was the one who detonated all his sins.

When he was burying the conspiracy, he didn't notice that some long-standing malice from those he had hurt was eroding towards him step by step.Including his eldest son Su Huan who he thought he was taking good care of, including the new queen who he thought had been submissively behind him, including Su Huang.

So he didn't notice that the queen who had promised to be behind him was the biggest behind-the-scenes manipulator who launched this coup d'état.As his pillow, she knew him too well, but she was too good at hiding herself.In the cell, he would often think that if this woman was born as a man, then it would only be a matter of time before she seeks to usurp the throne and change the dynasty.

The rift between her and him seems to have existed from the very beginning, and it has accumulated over time.

Different from Su Huang's ignorance and ignorance, her plan can be said to be watertight.To this day, he still doesn't understand when she, who used to live in the deep palace, contacted the foreign officials headed by Qihe, controlled the imperial guards in the entire imperial city, and made Xuanji Pavilion, who was loyal to him, start to rebel?

Well, everything is in the past.

He leaned against the wall tiredly and slowly closed his eyes.

What a sarcasm.

There were footsteps coming from the dungeon, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer to him.He narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was greeted by two people he couldn't be more familiar with.

One is his elder brother, and the other is the child who has been called his father for eight years.

When the boy saw him in such a state of embarrassment, there was a hint of pity and intolerance in his eyes. In the end, King Jinghe stepped forward and patted the boy on the shoulder lightly.

The boy quickly looked away, not looking at him.

He laughed softly, mockingly and presumptuously, as if he had never laughed like this in his life.

He said, "You really are father and son."

"Shut up." Jing and Wang glared at him bitterly, "You are not only insulting me and Jin Yun, but also insulting yourself and your own child by saying that."

"My... biological child?" He widened his eyes, the dry eyes were like a dry well, "You said..."

"I never did that kind of thing with Jin Yun." Jinghe Wang sneered, as if to sneer at him, "You have been calculating for so many years, how do you know the principle of karma and reincarnation?"

"Xiao Huang..." His voice was trembling, and there seemed to be muddy tears in the corners of his eyes. He slowly bent his body and moved towards Su Huang, the chains on his body clanging.

"Xiaohuang...I..." he started, but couldn't help but choked up, "...call me Father...will you?"

Su Huang's throat rolled twice, but she bit her lower lip firmly and did not speak.Tears flashed faintly in his eyes, some were heartbroken, some could not bear it, and there were also resentments, but they disappeared quickly.

Su Huang knelt down and kowtowed heavily to him three times.

"I won't blame you, but I won't call you father again." When the boy stood up again, his face was determined like never before, "I will never forget your kindness in nurturing me. It's just that I will never be like you people."

"...I won't kill you, but you don't want to go back to Donghui City in this life." Jinghe Wang said slowly, "Also, thank you for taking care of Jinyun for so many years. I have already met her .”

Footsteps sounded again in the empty dungeon, but this time they were far away from him.

The old emperor seemed to have lost all his strength, and fell to the ground. His face was pressed against the cold prison floor, and he let out a desperate cry.
