The Devil's Coming [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 73: The Uncrowned King 39
“???”
“We also want to ask: At such a critical moment, you actually want everyone to appreciate the storybook. Is this a serious attitude of rebellion?” Facing Su Ying’s question, everyone was complaining in their hearts, and had a lot of complaints to spit.
——Wait, it should be a rebellion, right?
Although the act of holding the third prince hostage at the beginning can easily be misunderstood as wanting to rescue the emperor, the book "Secrets of Shangjing" almost blackened the emperor into charcoal. If the emperor was really rescued in the end, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be his own initiative to die!
But to say that his choice is the third prince, that’s even more impossible. As for the eldest prince? Look at this man with a swollen nose and face who still doesn’t forget to release murderous intent towards Su Ying, you know it’s impossible.
For a while, everyone present was stunned.
Seeing that the emperor, the eldest prince and the third prince have been offended, he is still here calmly pretending to want to listen to the storybook review. What on earth is this?
Could it be that the Xu family was preparing to overthrow the royal family and rebel to take the throne, so they stopped pretending and showed their cards, discredited the emperor and the heir to the throne in one breath, and then physically destroyed them all?
Otherwise, they could not understand the suicidal behavior of the prince of Wei.
But looking at the surrounding guards who obeyed the third prince and surrounded everyone, even the Duke of Wei Xu Qian did not dare to move casually, they felt that this guess was too absurd.
——Everyone here is the third prince's people. If this kid had not somehow held the third prince hostage, how could he still be alive?
Wait, what's wrong? The third prince seems to have escaped the hostage range of the other party? ? ?
——It's true at this point. While they were flipping through the storybook, the boy who was originally staying beside the third prince had already distanced himself from the third prince and walked to the center of the hall. He looked around at everyone and issued that condemnation of their "not seriously appreciating the storybook".
In other words, the guards could shoot him into a sieve at any time.
So, why is this man still standing there?
——Shouldn't the guards who had been staring at the third prince take action the moment they separated from him? This is a dangerous person who almost killed the third prince!
At this moment, everyone present was confused.
They looked at Su Ying, then at the third prince, and then at the guards around them. For a moment, they didn't know who was whose, who was deliberately acting with whom, and they just felt that there was a lot of water here.
For safety reasons, they should just enjoy the storybook.
What these people didn't know was that the third prince was also panicking.
The moment Su Ying walked away from him, the third prince discovered it.
He thought that Li Sheng and others would definitely take the opportunity to kill or subdue each other as soon as possible, but these people didn't react at all. He thought they were slow to react for a while, so he signaled with his eyes, but they still didn't react, and the eyes they looked back at were very strange.
In the world that the Third Prince could not see, shadows emanated from each person, entwining the bodies of all the guards like snakes, and the coldness penetrated layer by layer, making them completely lose control of their bodies.
The guards who suddenly encountered such a strange incident were shocked and panicked. How could they pay attention to the hints in the eyes of the Third Prince? Very few people could only stare at him and desperately ask for help.
They didn't know that the control of the ghost made their eyes also stained with a cold and strange taste.
This kind of performance that could not be summoned was even more strange to the Third Prince - especially their eyes, which were exactly the same as the eyes they looked at the fool of the First Prince in secret when he asked Li Sheng to pretend to be bribed by the First Prince and the First Prince thought he had won not long ago.
The Third Prince was suddenly sick.
Could it be... when he regarded the First Prince and the Emperor as prey, he also unknowingly became someone else's prey?
This conjecture made the Third Prince dare not act rashly for a while.
He was worried that once he opened his mouth, Su Ying would not be arrested or shot, but he would be arrested by his men who were supposed to be loyal to him.
——Wouldn't that be a repeat of the joke of the eldest prince and the emperor?
Pretending not to know the weird atmosphere and the bad situation, the third prince thought quickly while looking down at the storybook.
And his actions made others even more confused.
How did the palace coup and rebellion become a storybook reading party?
——Could it be that the third prince and the prince of the Duke of Wei were originally in the same group, and they did this just to deliberately insinuate the emperor? They wanted to smear the emperor before his death!
In this case, the connotation of the storybook... I understand.
A group of kings of understanding immediately came online.
The atmosphere became strange. In the hall illuminated by the cold light of palace lanterns and swords, a group of people were looking at the booklet in their hands seriously, as if they were reading some amazing and unique skills.
As they read, they talked loudly.
"...Because his own son is unhappy about recognizing someone else's father for more than ten years, and he holds a grudge against his son for being driven out because he made a mistake, the emperor in this story is too cold and heartless!"
Someone sighed in a pretentious manner.
"Not only is he heartless, but his methods are too sinister. He wants to deal with the Duke's Mansion, but he doesn't do it openly, but uses various methods in secret, and even gets a master to predict the fate... Such methods are too sinister, and they are not what the emperor should do."
Someone else sighed directly.
"Alas, he is not like a monarch! Not like a monarch!"
Even the Third Prince, after finding that his subordinates seemed out of control, had to follow the other party's intentions and join the group of people who were talking loudly in order not to anger the Prince of Wei. He began to seriously comment on the "content" of the storybook.
His joining seemed to be a positive signal, making those who had already spoken more excited, and those who had not spoken also joined in. For a while, it really became a storybook reading party.
As for the theme of the reading party, of course, it was to criticize the emperor!
Although these people kept saying "the emperor in the book", who doesn't know who the characters in the book correspond to? Every curse they made was a veiled criticism.
At this moment, only the world in which Emperor Huiming was hurt was achieved.
If his life was not in the hands of the guards, Emperor Huiming's eyes alone would have been enough to cut these people into pieces. Seeing that the Third Prince inexplicably started discussing the storybook with a group of people instead of taking immediate action to eradicate it, although it was difficult to understand his behavior, the First Prince and the Emperor chose to remain silent - were they going to remind him to kill himself?
As the discussion became more and more excessive, the eldest prince could still stay out of it, but the emperor himself who was being discussed could not listen to it anymore.
They said the first sentence, he endured it, the second sentence, he endured it, the third sentence, he continued to endure it... However, these people were endless, and they could not endure it anymore!!!
"Nonsense! What nonsense are you talking about!" Emperor Huiming could no longer bear it, he was so angry that he trembled all over, "You are talking nonsense with stories made up in the storybook, and you are using things I have not done to discredit me. Is this your ability?!"
What conspiracy to assassinate the Duke of Wei's mansion, what fraud and collusion with charlatans to forge fate, are all non-existent! "Secrets of Shangjing" is nonsense! Before, he didn't even know that he had a son, so how could he do those things in the storybook?
Although Emperor Huiming knew himself, there was nothing wrong with what the "emperor" did in "Secrets of Shangjing". In reality, if he knew Xu Mingjin's identity, he would probably do the same, but of course he would not admit that he was such a despicable person.
In short, everything is slander out of thin air!
Not only did they take away his throne, they also wanted to discredit his good name for life! Even if everyone only knew that it was just a story, once these stories were written in unofficial history, how could people in later generations tell whether it was true or false? Isn't that how the unofficial history and legends of the emperors and ministers of the previous dynasty came about?
For a moment, the emperor was furious.
"Is it your purpose to maliciously smear my reputation?"
He was scolding the third prince, and his original intention was to think that Su Ying and the third prince were hooking up together, but because the target was not directed, Su Ying naturally took over.
"You think too much. The purpose of sharing the story is of course to share it with people all over the world." His smiling appearance was particularly irritating in the eyes of the emperor, "Are you not happy to read it?"
"That's right, Your Majesty, didn't you say it yourself that the story is just a story, don't associate it with reality?"
Immediately, people echoed it.
What they said was actually the emperor's rebuttal to Su Ying when he was accused of slandering a bunch of officials.
At this moment, they were secretly pleased to see him speechless after using the emperor's words to confront him.
——It's his due! He had said before that "the prince of the Duke of Wei has a child's heart", "the story is just fiction", "the criminal must be guilty because of the story", and now he felt the same way, right? !
Taking everyone's expressions into his eyes, he could almost see what they were thinking. Su Ying, who was very excited before, gradually lost his mood and showed disappointment on his face.
"After all, he is the top figure in this country, but he can't even appreciate the connotation of the story..."
He sighed and walked towards the emperor.
His speed was obviously not fast, and his movements were very slow, like a walk, but he gave people a strong sense of oppression.
He spoke as he walked.
"Humans are different from dead things because they have their own wisdom, thoughts, will, and soul... and that's why they have more possibilities."
"A flower or a blade of grass, anyone who knows a little bit can easily tell when it will grow and when it will wither. When you see a flower bloom, you can already see that it will wither a few months later, but people are different."
Speaking of this, Su Ying's tone rose slightly.
"People have infinite variables. They are influenced by the world while exchanging information with the world at all times. Every choice can make the future move towards different possibilities. Even the most treacherous and evil people can't bear it, and the saints with great compassion and great mercy can also raise their butcher knives... In my eyes, everyone is like a script with an unknown ending. Even the fate that has been known can be changed due to variables. What I expect to see is such an unknown!"
The arc of his mouth widened, and his eyes were unusually bright.
"...Appreciating them is one of the few interests I have."
"——As a member of the same interesting human race with unknown possibilities, I like you very much. Unfortunately, you are on the road to killing my interest."
His eyes fell on Emperor Huiming in front of him, and there was a rare bit of displeasure in his tone and eyes.
"——You actually tried to use a false fate to limit the future of mankind, which has infinite possibilities, and use names like "disaster star" and "lucky star" to arrange other people's lives, strangling the more choices they have, and making their fate go to the only path you arranged. It's like forcibly stipulating that the content of the storybook cannot be changed..."
"——This is too much! "
