Imperial Palace.

Yangxin Palace.

Xiao Jingli walked in wearing a black dragon robe with gold thread and a golden dragon crown on his head.

Although he had the right to carry a sword with him, he did not carry one. After all, carrying a sword when meeting the emperor alone was a bit excessive.

At most, carrying a sword during court was acceptable to show off his power.

Yangxin Palace.

The maids and eunuchs around had already left.

Only Eunuch Gao was accompanying him.

""Your son, I pay my respects to my father!"

Xiao Jingli bowed slightly and said

"No gift required"

"I heard that you and Duke Wu had a big fight last night."

"And the cause was actually jealousy?"

"Um?"

"You are a saint of my royal family, famous all over the world, you can't ruin your future, can you?"

Emperor Liang supported his hands on the table and said slowly.

Xiao Jingli bowed and saluted:"Reporting to father, this fact is that Duke Wu has gone too far!"

"Yesterday was the Lantern Festival. I took my concubine out for a walk. I didn't expect that Duke Wu had taken a fancy to my concubine. After the guard announced the name of the Ming Palace, he dared to snatch her away."

"I am a prince of Daliang. If I cannot even protect my concubines in my own house, wouldn't it be a joke if this gets out?"

"So I was furious and killed the guard of Duke Wu in the street and tied him up to the palace."

"However, he did not expect that Duke Wu had no official position, but was implicated in many cases. Even the Crown Prince came to the palace in person. The son did not want to hand over Duke Wu, so he ordered the guards to guard the palace and not see anyone."

"This is the whole cause and effect, and I have not concealed a single word!"

Although Xiao Jingli spoke every word softly, Emperor Liang and Eunuch Gao could hear the tremendous anger in it.

Emperor Liang knew the cause and effect of all this last night, and knew that what his son said was correct.

Emperor Liang nodded and said,"Well, in this case, Duke Wu is really bold enough to take the initiative to offend my royal prince in Jinling."

"The Imperial Censor also criticized him in the morning court today. I didn't expect that the Duke of Daliang would act so recklessly in Jinling City and ignore the laws of the country."

"In this case, I will make the decision for you. What do you think we should do with the Duke of Wu?"

Xiao Jingli looked directly at Emperor Liang and said coldly,"Deprive him of his title and send him to exile in Lingnan!" Emperor

Liang looked at Xiao Jingli, who was full of murderous intent. This was the first time he saw his son showing such murderous intent and anger towards someone.

However, Emperor Liang could understand it. After all, men valued the women around them and their face. What

's more, a prince of such a big family...

""Okay, pass on the decree that Wu Shaoshan, the Duke of Wu, has committed crimes against his superiors, disregarded the laws of the country, and oppressed the people. This is an unforgivable crime. Deprive him of his title, confiscate his property, and send him to exile in Lingnan. Set off today!"

Emperor Liang looked at Gao Zhan standing aside and said

""I obey your order!"

Gao Zhan bowed.

"So, have you calmed down?" Emperor Liang asked.

"Thank you, Father!" Xiao Jingli bowed.

Oh, calm down, this is just the beginning.

"Um"

"I heard that Duke Ji also went to your house yesterday?"

""Why are you going?" (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Emperor Liang asked.

Here he is.

The Duke of Wu was just a side dish, and now is the main course.

His father was afraid of him again.

Xiao Jingli replied:"Reporting to father, the prince used the matter of Duke of Wu to force Duke Ji to submit to him yesterday, but Duke Ji did not dare to participate in the fight for the throne, so he came to my son's palace last night and wanted to be under my son's command, so that no matter whether the prince or brother Yu becomes emperor in the future, they will give me some face and will not embarrass him."

"I thought about it, why didn't Duke Wu dare to offend the Crown Prince and Prince Yu? It was because he thought I was easy to bully, so he accepted me and promised to protect them in the future."

"However, Duke Ji and I have three rules, that is, not to participate in the fight for the throne. Naturally, I have no interest in the fight for the throne, so we hit it off immediately."

This matter could not be concealed at all. Many people in Jinling City could guess what Duke Ji was thinking, so Xiao Jingli did not hide anything and said it directly and openly.

Emperor Liang snorted coldly:"Humph, this old man, I'm not dead yet, and you think that I, the emperor, can't protect him?"

"You are so direct, telling me the matter of the succession so blatantly."[]

Xiao Jingli pretended to be speechless:"Father, I am an upright subject, why can't I tell you, why can't I tell you about the fight for the throne?"

"Besides, I have read countless historical books and unofficial histories. It's just a fight for the throne. It happens in every dynasty. What's the big deal?"

"As for me, I am a carefree person by nature, so I really have no interest in the throne."

"Besides, with my current status and reputation, I can even wear the dragon robe, and I don't have to worry about political affairs. I can eat, drink, play, read and travel every day. Isn't this good?"

Emperor Liang looked at Xiao Jingli's eyes carefully for a while. Seeing that Xiao Jingli did not avoid it and looked at him, he nodded secretly.

At the same time, he felt that what Xiao Jingli said made sense. With his current status, he really didn't need to be an emperor, but the emperor still had to give him some face.

Seeing Emperor Liang's expression, although he was expressionless, Xiao Jingli knew that his father believed it.

At the same time, Xiao Jingli was helpless, because every word he said came from his heart.

Unfortunately, his current power could not allow him to stop, after all, 300,000 troops were still outside.

Besides, he had never been an emperor, especially an emperor of the ages.

Xiao Jingli wanted to try it out, what was it like on 517!

"You are honest, you say whatever you want, you dare to say whatever you want, unlike the Crown Prince and Prince Yu, you never say what you want and what you think."

"Humph, they still think I don't know"

"I was also a prince, so how could I not know this?"

Emperor Liang looked at Xiao Jingli with admiration.

In his heart, he felt that his son was really not suitable for the court. The civil and military officials in the court knew about this, but everyone was pretending to be stupid, because some things could not be brought to the surface.

His son did not understand this.

Well, it was a good choice to live a carefree life in the second half of his life and become the face of the royal family.

"well!"

"Speaking of which, Father, you have already appointed a crown prince and determined the position of heir to the throne. Why don't you take this opportunity to repair your relationship with the crown prince? What's wrong with being a prince?"

"Looking around the world, there are only a few princes, powerful and leading a carefree life, isn't that good?"

Xiao Jingli pretended to be confused and puzzled. Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang laughed and said,"Okay, the history in the books will always be in the books, and every word is plain and ordinary. There is no crisis in reality..........Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you. Go back and remember to send the person to the Ministry of Justice."

"All right, I'll take my leave now!"

Xiao Jingli took a few steps back and turned to leave.
