Professional Ethics of a Concubine

Chapter 196 I'm convinced. I'm convinced.

"Let me remind you again." King Jing said again.

The prince looked at him expressionlessly, feeling nervous inside.

"Minister Chen chose to report to the emperor that you were raising private soldiers to rebel."

"Hmph, I'm not surprised at all that the old man did this." The prince snorted and laughed, with an expression that showed that everything was under control.

"You chose to inform the 30,000 private soldiers in advance, which means you are leaving the power of life and death to Minister Chen. You are still soft-hearted, but it's good. If you are crazy and have no humanity, I will not cooperate with you."

King Jing spoke.

The prince's thoughts were touched upon, and he snorted again with some embarrassment, but said nothing else.

"No matter how many things you do to benefit the Great Zhao in the future, you will definitely be convicted of the crime of raising private soldiers and plotting treason.

You will also become the deceased former crown prince, and for a short period of time, there will be no such person as Crown Prince Xie Wenyuan in this world."

King Jing looked at him and said,

"But don't worry, I won't let you become an unknown person. I will have people record everything you have done for the Great Zhao, and I will make it public after we destroy the Chu State and the situation stabilizes.

In the future, history books will no longer describe you as a traitor. You are a chivalrous man who, for the sake of the Great Zhao and your own ideals, abandoned your status and worldly reputation, and was willing to hide underground and carry the burden forward. "

Prince,...

I'm done with it, I'm done with it.

He was completely prostrated, okay!

King Jing doesn't need to rely on anything else but his mouth. No matter what wise ministers he tries to persuade, they are unwilling to be loyal to him!

"That's enough. There's really no need to say more." The prince waved his hand and said very simply.

"I am yours now. As long as you do what you said, I promise that I will not have any second thoughts about you. Just do your job well."

"Do you have any other requests?" King Jing asked him with a smile.

"For example, how to deal with the Queen, the Chen family, the Crown Prince, and others?"

The prince was silent for a moment, then he spoke,

"I don't want to interfere with the others. I'll leave it to you and Father to decide. I ask you to be a little kinder to Hong Bao. He is the most innocent and has suffered the most."

In addition to his eldest son, the crown prince also has two younger illegitimate sons and two illegitimate daughters.

However, the status of the Crown Prince is completely different.

The crown prince was deposed and died, and the crown prince might be placed under house arrest.

No matter how high his previous position was, he fell miserably after being implicated.

"Don't worry. I think Hongbao is a smart and good boy. I will definitely train him well."

King Jing said,

"You can tell him the truth, broaden his horizons, resolve the hatred in his heart, let him study and grow well in the palace, and make contributions to the expansion of our Great Zhao in the future."

Prince,...

Well, after all, he is too narrow-minded!

Prince Jing has even taken his son into account.

The prince looked at King Jing in silence for a long time, but finally expressed his admiration.

That's pretty good.

Who else in the world could have the mind of King Jing and his crazy ideas?

He was also very lucky to meet him when his life was the most miserable and hopeless, and to look forward to a new path in life.

-

After having a pleasant conversation with the Crown Prince, everything that needed to be finalized was finalized, and Prince Jing left in a happy mood.

He also has to report this matter to his father.

Minister Chen has already left.

Although Minister Chen chose to take the initiative to inform on the emperor, he was willing to show leniency and not execute the entire Chen family and all nine clans.

However, the Chen family had annexed land in Qingzhou, plundered the people, and oppressed them. These things could not be let go, and this incident was a good opportunity to settle them all at once.

As for the Chen family, the emperor planned to confiscate their property and sentence them to exile, but the second generation of descendants would retain the qualification to take the imperial examinations.

"Have you finished talking with the prince? What did you talk about?" The emperor asked him again when he saw Prince Jing come back.

"Your Majesty, regarding the treatment of the Crown Prince, this is what I think..."

King Jing slightly changed his words, mainly analyzing the prince's temperament, his talents, and his trust in him, so he decided to let the prince fake his death and escape, and then go to the State of Chu to obtain intelligence.

The emperor looked at Prince Jing in shock. He never expected that Prince Jing could do such a thing.

"You, do you trust the prince so much?" the emperor asked with his eyes wide open.

"Rather than believing in the prince, it's more about believing in human nature and interests. I have given the prince what he wants most. The prince is a smart man, and he knows what is best for himself."

Prince Jing looked at the emperor and spoke confidently and openly,

“Although the throne is good, not everyone wants it. The reason why everyone is fighting for the throne is to protect themselves and because there is no better choice.

The princes and grandchildren were trapped in this imperial city from birth to adulthood. Although they had fine clothes and delicious food, and had hordes of servants, and although they read the Four Books and Five Classics, they could not see the outside world, were not aware of the lives of the common people, and had no idea what was outside the Great Zhao.

They have a very narrow vision. They think that if they don't sit on the throne, they can only be slaughtered by those in power and can only rob. They don't think they have any other choices in life.

I am just trying to find another way out for the prince by breaking out of the limitations of the imperial city and the scope of Da Zhao.

This road may be difficult and dangerous for the prince, but staying in the imperial city is not necessarily safe.

What's more, if he went to the State of Chu, he would have his father, his sons and ministers, and the entire Zhao supporting him behind the scenes.

For the prince, this also means expanding the territory of Great Zhao, releasing his ambitions and displaying his talents.

For me, it is much better to have a trustworthy brother who can fight side by side with me than to have an enemy who I have to be on guard against all the time.

I made this decision because I saw my father and uncle supporting and trusting each other, and I was deeply touched.

I, your son, and the Crown Prince want to emulate you and your uncle, fight side by side, and strive to expand the foundation left by our ancestors, so that we can live up to our father's expectations."

"Good! Good! Good!"

After hearing these words, the emperor's blood boiled and his heart surged. He said "good" three times in a row and his eyes were shining when he looked at Prince Jing.

It's like discovering a treasure of the utmost quality.

His son was such a pleasant surprise to him.

He once thought that he had seen the upper limit of King Jing, but he refreshed his cognition again and again.

Before, he was only occasionally satisfied and occasionally surprised, but this time, King Jing's actions, his thinking, and his pattern shocked him.

The emperor was very pleased, very pleased.

He looked at King Jing and couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the depression that had been accumulating for several days was swept away.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." The emperor said with a smile, "You can ask for anything, and I will satisfy you."

"I dare not act rashly." King Jing said humbly.

“The prince faked his death and settled down in the State of Chu. The fewer people who know about this in the early stages, the better.

Therefore, I agree with what the prince said and let his confidant follow him, so that the prince can use him more easily.

As for my son, I will let Imperial Physician Feng and Zhang Zhanfeng follow him. As your father is worried about the prince's safety, you can send a few top-notch shadow guards to follow him.

The rest of the staff will not be used for the time being. Let's see what the Crown Prince will do next. Since you have chosen to hand it over to him, trust his ability and don't interfere too much."

The emperor nodded again, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

This was the first conversation between the Emperor and Prince Jing, and the rhythm was completely controlled by Prince Jing.

Even if the emperor realized it, he wouldn't mind, as he is now full of fatherly love.

He was just about to stroke Prince Jing's head and say happily, "You are such a good son of mine."
