I Persuade People With Reason

The emperor woke up again and was in the bedroom again.

This dim and familiar environment, as well as his immobile body, made him feel a great fear in his heart.

He hurriedly rolled his eyes and looked out desperately.

Immediately, he saw other people in the temple.

The prince, the queen, and several important ministers.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard the voice of Imperial Physician Xiao Zhixiao from the side: "Excuse Wei Chen's lack of academic skills, this poison is hard to understand and entangled, and it was suppressed before, but now it is poisonous again, I'm afraid... I'm afraid the medicine stone is useless!"

This sigh was light, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting the emperor's heart.

The ministers did not know the inside story, and their expressions changed greatly when they heard his words.

The emperor didn't believe his nonsense, he gritted his teeth and stared at this guy who had been used by him to deal with the prince, but now bit him in turn.

He glared angrily, but Xiao Zhi was calm and calm, without any sense of guilt.

—Anyway, His Royal Highness the Prince is behind everything. Since he said that it cannot be cured, whether it is true or false, it means that the emperor must be "not cured".

Empress Zhou cried and rushed to the emperor, pressing the emperor's chest so tight that she was almost out of breath.

She just raised her head, looked at Yuan Buwei with tears in her eyes, and begged: "Xuan'er, you must save your father and emperor! This poison will definitely be cured! Xuan'er, you promise to mother..."

"The mother's words... It seems that the son's minister also has the superb medical skills of Xiao Taiyi." It was not surprising, "Is the mother's ability still unclear? Even if you have the will, you can't do anything."

He sighed regretfully.

Empress Zhou wanted to say more, but when she raised her eyes, she slammed into the dark eyes of the young man. There was no regret or helplessness on the surface, and there was not much joy and happiness, but only a calm examination.

It was like an outsider who saw her whole person from the inside out, clearly and clearly.

Empress Zhou subconsciously bit her lip, even holding back the tears that were about to fall, she just stared at the eldest son with a very unfamiliar gaze.

At this time, with Prime Minister Su at the head, there were several ministers waiting in the bedroom.

Of course, they were not fools to be where they are today. The three most honorable family members of the Tian family behaved so strangely, so they could see the clue.

Yuan Buwei stood there indifferently, standing still to meet the scrutinizing and suspicious eyes from all directions.

He can be in a hurry, and the ministers can also be in a hurry, but the emperor lying on the couch has to be in a hurry.

The already numb limbs Bai Hao completely lost consciousness. The emperor only felt that his consciousness was stuffed into a wooden body. Apart from being able to command his eyes to move, he could hardly do anything.

Gradually, he even felt that his consciousness began to dizzy, as if he was about to fall into a bottomless abyss.

The familiar bedroom, the familiar feeling of numbness, the familiar darkness... The memory that almost drove him crazy in the previous month resurfaced. As long as he thought of falling into the same situation again, the emperor's reason quickly disintegrated. Only The survival instinct is clamoring.

"No, you can figure it out!"

Consciousness was hovering on the brink of death. The emperor was like a drowning man grabbing the last straw. He ignored it and shouted almost hysterically:

"This poison is yours, how can you not have an antidote? I have heard it all. This poison is called Half Day Drunk, and it was originally created by Imperial Doctor Xiao. How could he have no antidote?!"

As soon as these words came out, it was a shock.

Empress Zhou suddenly fell on the couch, with a look of panic and confusion on her face, but she was not too surprised.

...It seems that she had expected it subconsciously, but she had been avoiding it and was unwilling to face it.

But the ministers couldn't believe it, and followed the emperor's straight eyes to look at His Royal Highness, who looked pale, trying to see something from his face.

It was not a good idea to brush off his sleeves in a leisurely manner, his eyes swept over one by one, and turned around and landed on the emperor.

"It seems that the royal father is poisonous and completely confused." He sighed again, and his tone was slow and slow.

"As we all know, the royal father has a broad mind and is a wise ruler of the world. For many years, he has never been suspicious because he was alone in the army. He has also blocked many rumors in the court and the public, and even allowed the solitary prince to open the Shenwu Grand General's Mansion. Recruiting a pro-military... And Gu Yi deeply felt the trust of his father and emperor, wearing armor for eight years, drinking all the blood of the enemy."

"—Such a story of a father's kindness and filial piety, and the relationship between the ruler and his ministers, even if it is placed on the history, it is enough to live on for a hundred years. If the father and emperor were not poisonous, how could he have such absurd hallucinations?"

His tone was cadenced and full of emotion, which made all the ministers present feel a sense of listening to storytelling, and their moods could not help but be infected.

But in the young man's slightly lowered eyes, his gaze towards the emperor contained an indifferent smile.

He seemed curious about what he would do next.

The emperor groaned in his heart.

Now his life and death are completely in the hands of the prince, and the imperial guards in the palace have also been replaced by the prince's people. As long as the prince keeps acting stupid and stunned, and is unwilling to detoxify him no matter what, he will have to wait for his death.

No one knows better than the emperor how powerful the poison Xiao Zhi made.

In the original history, this Imperial Physician Xiao once made a name for himself in history for his amazing feats - a few years later, he poisoned his entire family, his father, stepmother, and younger brother, none of them were spared.

If he committed such a serious crime, it was not for the plague. As the emperor, Qi Xuan admired his outstanding medical ability, and found out that he had been tragically murdered at home. He was forced to fight back, so he left him alone. Life will make up for it, and he has already died.

Apart from Xiao Zhi himself, there is no other person who can defuse the poison that he personally prepared.

The fear of death devoured the emperor's heart, and the prince's words were still in his ears—

The father is kind and the son is filial, and the ruler and the minister obtain each other. Therefore, the prince who is pure and filial by nature certainly cannot attack the emperor. The only way to prove that the father is not kind is that you don't know...

The emperor suddenly realized that he understood the prince's mind. This is to make him confess his guilt in front of the ministers! In this way, the prince can take the throne in a clean way.

When it comes to his life, the emperor no longer cares about his reputation. He spoke without hesitation, his tone full of remorse: "I made a mistake in this matter first, I was afraid of the crown prince Gong Gao Zhenzhu, and I was confused for a while..."

"Qin Mo, the commander-in-chief of the guards around the prince, was sent by me, and the poison of the prince's heart was also ordered by Imperial Physician Xiao..."

Under the shocked and eccentric gazes of the courtiers, Rao also felt that his face was burning with panic because of the emperor's self-confessed disposition of being a big deal.

But none of that matters, what matters is—

"Now, these two people have become yours, Prince. The poison on my body is made by Imperial Doctor Xiao... Call them, and I can confront them on the spot. What I just said is absolutely true."

The emperor's words were sincere, almost heart-to-heart, and his tone was full of sincere remorse. As soon as he finished the call, he took a deep breath.

"The prince has always been pure filial piety, and he has made great contributions to the court. I blame me for being confused first, ignoring the love between my father and son, and the prince only fought back impulsively, I don't blame you..."

Having said this, the emperor paused, forcibly calmed the tumbling emotions in his heart, and continued:

"As long as the poison is cured, I am willing to write an edict of my own sins, abdicate the throne and let the virtuous, and no longer intervene in the affairs of the court. The empress and all the Aiqings testified, I said this from the bottom of my heart, if I violated it, I would be condemned by heaven in the future! "

The words were loud and loud, and all the ministers were silent.

In the past, although the emperor's management level was average, the image he created to the outside world was lenient and generous, benevolent in government and caring for the people, and he had always trusted the prince. Hundreds of thousands of troops were handed over to the prince.

For many civil servants who believe in "governance by the arch", the ability of the emperor is not important, as long as he is lenient, benevolent, and can delegate power to the lower, he is the sage master Mingjun.

But now, the emperor took the initiative to expose his dark side, even if he used "momentary confusion" as an excuse, he could not deceive these ministers who had become human beings.

Looking at this His Majesty, who was paralyzed on the couch, who had completely lost his pride and dignity as an emperor, and who only wanted to save his life, the ministers fell silent.

Even people like Su Cheng need to be skinny.

Seeing this, the emperor looked at Empress Zhou in disappointment: "Zitong, don't tell me you don't remember your old feelings so much, do you want to watch me die?"

His voice was soft and painful.

"I still remember that I promised you when I abdicated in the future, I would take you to travel the north and south of the great river..."

Empress Zhou whimpered, "Your Majesty..."

She fell down on the couch, clasped the emperor's unconscious hand firmly with both hands, raised her eyes, and looked at Yuan Buwan expectantly with tearful eyes.

"Xuan'er, your father and emperor knew that he was wrong. Heaven won't let him kill each other... Just forgive him once."

Suddenly, Queen Zhou recalled that the two sons had become closer and harmonious in recent days, and she hurriedly said:

"...And Yu'er! Yu'er, he definitely doesn't want to see this scene. The mother doesn't want your brothers to turn against each other in the future, and then it's too late to regret it."
