Mortal Immortal Gourd

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Fourth Prince's family should be confiscated and his clan exterminated.

The scope of this wave of extermination naturally includes the entire Ji family, including the emperor and his sons and grandsons, uncles, second uncles, third uncles...

When Sima Yi didn't know what was good for him and insisted on asking how to deal with him, the Holy Emperor Longxing was also in a headache.

Although it is said that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, this is what the prince said to the common people.

Whose prince believes such nonsense!

If it were any other minister, he would definitely be able to handle this matter properly and get the prince out of it cleanly, without the Holy Emperor Longxing having to worry about it.

But Sima Yi is an exception. He is a stubborn person, otherwise he would not do such a thing to make enemies with the whole court.

The Holy Emperor Longxing hesitated for a while before speaking slowly.

"This matter was all done by Tian Zhixuan on his own, and the Fourth Prince was not aware of it. This matter should not be involved too much."

When faced with someone like Sima Yi who was ignorant, the Longxing Saint Emperor could only decide the matter himself.

If he dared to let Sima Yi make his own decision, he would probably see the head of the Fourth Prince tomorrow morning.

No matter how useless his son was, he could just reprimand him. Would he really chop him off?

Sima Yi received the order of the Longxing Saint Emperor and brought people to arrest the Fourth Prince's master Tian Zhixuan that day.

This Tian Zhixuan was a master of the Nascent Soul stage. Facing a group of Jindan and Foundation Establishment officials brought by Sima Yi, if he refused to be arrested, Sima Yi would really not be able to deal with him.

However, Tian Zhixuan relied on the fact that he was the Fourth Prince's master, and seeing that he was the only one arrested, it should not be a big deal.

He was very confident in his heart, and was calmly captured, waiting for the Fourth Prince to pull him out again after the storm.

Anyway, everyone is used to what happens in the court. There are ups and downs. After so many years in the officialdom, who hasn't spent a few days in jail!

Who knew that after he was arrested, he was tied up on the third day and dragged to the crossroads to be beheaded for public display.

Tian Zhixuan realized that the script was wrong. Why didn't the fourth prince save me?

I am the prince's man, who dares to behead me?

However, it was too late for him to regret. The iron chain used to tie up the prisoner was specially made and could not be broken free. The butcher knife of justice had already chopped down his neck.

"Puff!"

As the head fell to the ground, Tian Zhixuan's one-foot-tall Yuanying suddenly emerged from the neck.

Before the executioner had time to catch him, the Yuanying teleported and disappeared.

"He escaped!"

Originally, in order to kill the Yuanying cultivator, Sima Yi had arranged a formation around him before the execution to prevent the Yuanying from escaping.

Sima Yi looked around the execution ground with red eyes at this moment, and found that the formation he had arranged had been broken into a big hole.

This formation was arranged by Sima Yi himself, and it was impossible for the Yuanying to break such a big gap. It could only be someone's trick.

"Who is responsible here?"

"Reporting to Lord Sima, it is Zhu Dachang."

"Is it him?"

Sima Yi was a little confused. This Zhu Dachang was sent from Qingzhou and has been with him for a long time. He is relatively honest and reliable.

"Where is he?"

"He said that he had something urgent to do in cultivation and asked for leave today."

"Let's go to his place to see."

Sima Yi and a group of men rushed to the place where Zhu Dachang lived, but found that he was dead.

The body was still warm and was beheaded by a knife.

The prisoner Yuanying escaped, and one of his men died, so he had to continue to track down.

Originally, Sima Yi only needed to focus on the officials of the court. This incident reminded him that the people around him were not so reliable.

Although these subordinates were sent from Qingzhou, they were not involved in the officialdom.

But people will change after all.

Especially when there are all kinds of temptations around, it is not easy to keep oneself clean and not be tempted by external things.

…………

In the palace, the face of Emperor Longxing was stern, and the fourth prince knelt on the ground with his head down.

"Stand up!"

"I dare not."

The fourth prince did not dare to stand up, and bowed his head even lower, looking very terrified.

"What else are you afraid to do? You have learned how to dig into your own family."

"If other court ministers do this, I will not be surprised at all.

To put it bluntly, this world belongs to our Ji family.

Their ministers shout "Long live" every day, and they all hope that we will fall quickly."

"Don't pretend, get up."

"There are no outsiders here today. We don't talk about monarchs and ministers, but only fathers and sons."

"You are also more than 1,000 years old. It is impossible that you don't know the harm here. Tell me what you think and why you do this."

After scolding the Fourth Prince, the Longxing Saint Emperor began to become gentle again, and the look he gave the Fourth Prince was no different from that of an ordinary old father.

The Fourth Prince stood up from the ground, lowered his head, and looked at the Longxing Saint Emperor quietly.

"Father, I was blinded by greed, and I know I was wrong."

"I saw that our Great Zhou Dynasty was in crisis, but I couldn't help my father solve the problem. I was anxious and wanted to improve my strength quickly, so I made a big mistake."

The fourth prince tried hard to explain his mistakes and tried to make himself look more loyal.

"No one knows a son better than his father. I watched you grow up, and I can still guess some of your little thoughts."

When Emperor Longxing Sheng spoke, his tone was gentle and gentle, not as majestic as the past, but just like an old father who was somewhat helpless.

"I know, you guys are all thinking about inheriting the throne in the future."

"The child dares not. My father is in his youth and lives with heaven. He will never dare to have any insignificant thoughts."

The fourth prince quickly explained that even if the father and son had a flesh-and-blood relationship, they would never show their covetousness for the throne.

This is a big taboo, maybe you will lose your head.

"I said, there are no monarch and ministers here today, only father and son. Let's say a few words of friendship."

"Everyone wants the throne, and everyone thinks that becoming an emperor has supreme power and is the best person in the world.

But the height is cold. Who knows that sitting in this position, I worry and work hard every day, can't sleep at night, trembling, walking on thin ice, worried about gains and losses..."

Although Emperor Longxing Sheng said the throne so painfully, a longing flashed through the fourth prince's eyes.

Since it is so difficult and painful, you are passing the throne.

Emperor Longxing ignored the strange color flashing in the fourth prince's eyes and continued to speak gently.

"I know, you guys must have seen that the King of Qi may replace you, so they will be anxious to seek medical treatment, so they even have to dig up the corners of their own house."

When the fourth prince heard this, he wanted to defend himself, but was stopped by the gentle gaze of Emperor Longxing Sheng.

"Actually, at the beginning, I was optimistic about you a few, and planned to choose one of you to inherit the throne in the future."

"You probably guessed what happened later.

I really didn't expect that your 99th brother actually has a dantian that is nine feet and nine inches wide. God really blesses me to the Great Zhou. ”

"Since he has such a natural character, when he grows up in the future, he will definitely become the emperor of the ages and revive the Great Zhou Dynasty of my Ji family."

"So for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty and for our entire Ji royal family, he is the best candidate."

Faced with this fourth son who was over 1,000, Emperor Longxing was moved by emotion and reason, hoping to convince the son to give up the battle for the throne as his old father.

A reluctance flashed in the fourth prince's eyes, bit his lips, and finally bowed.

"I understand that I will do my best to assist King Qi in the future, revive my Great Zhou Dynasty and reappear the glory of the past."

"Okay, if you can be so sensible, you will feel at ease to be your father."

"We are a family after all, and we are on the same boat. Only by unity and mutual assistance can we make this boat move more steadily and farther."

Emperor Longxing Sheng patted the son on the shoulder and said in a gentle tone.

"I hope you can put the overall situation first and don't repeat the same mistakes."

"The child must keep in mind his father's teachings!"

The two of them talked again with kindness and filial piety, caring for each other and considering each other. The more they talked, the more they became intimate and warm, and the more they were happy between the father and the son.

The two had a meal together, and it was not until it was dark that the fourth prince turned around and said goodbye.

Emperor Longxing Saint looked at the fourth prince's gradually disappearing back and sighed.

"He still can't let it go!"
