Chapter 1050 Unwilling to Disappoint
Ning Cangmo's words were righteous and powerful.
"Over the years, the Emperor has sought numerous excuses and refused to abdicate. Many of his subjects have begun to suspect that he has changed his mind and is no longer loyal to Emperor Yan."
"Suspicion, not certainty. In this case, Your Majesty only needs to 'treat' your brother well, allowing him to die without any connection to you, and you will be able to silence the gossip."
"The two of them are restraining each other. As the emperor said, King Dijin can't do anything to you."
"But, Prince Zhengxian, I have no sworn brotherhood with you."
"Regardless of the Crown Prince's power or how many years he has been away from the court, according to the law, he is the sovereign and you are his subject. When facing him, you must strictly observe the etiquette between sovereign and subject, be loyal and unwavering, or you will be despised by everyone."
"During the reign of Emperor Mu, he appointed the Crown Prince and nurtured him with integrity and meticulous care. As a descendant of the Yan clan, he is the heir apparent. It is only right that the virtuous Crown Prince succeeds him."
"I have heard that last year, the Crown Prince achieved remarkable success and gained the trust of the people. He is truly the popular choice."
"If he issued an order to confer a title upon you and order you to abdicate, would the Emperor dare to disobey?"
Gu Mengzhen was filled with worry and panic.
"I...he..."
"It is impossible for the people of Emperor Jin to guess that the prince is still alive."
Ning Cangmo argued, weighed the situation and made his points.
"Before, it might not have been possible, but now, King Di Jin controls Beizhaotai."
"Your Majesty, your insight is profound. The gentlemen of Beizhaotai were also surprised to learn that Gu Hao is the Crown Prince Zhengxian."
"With all the counselors working together, we will be able to find the prince soon."
"Forgive me for speaking frankly, but once they bring the Crown Prince back, it will be too late for Your Majesty to regret!"
Gu Mengzhen's eyebrows moved slightly, and his right hand rested on the armrest of the dragon throne, gently stroking the golden and jade dragons.
"According to you, what should I do?"
Ning Cangmo's pupils were tinged with murderous intent.
"While the Crown Prince is still alive and unknown to everyone, Your Majesty, please eradicate this matter as quickly as possible to prevent future troubles."
Gu Mengzhen withdrew his hand, clenched his fist, and was in a dilemma.
"No."
"I promised Hua'er that I would take care of her child."
"Yan Yu is a hypocrite. He has always known how to find excuses to control the government. He is ambitious and unworthy of being Hua'er's son. It is only right that I eliminate him."
"Hao'er is pure and kind, and has never plotted to harm me."
"He thought that I risked my life to save him during the Yueshengxingliang battle."
"He agreed to remain anonymous and obey my orders."
"He looks like Hua'er, and he treats me very well."
"Why would I kill him?"
"Hua'er's spirit is in heaven. How could I bear to kill her beloved son?"
Ning Cangmo pointed it out.
"This is all the Crown Prince's conspiracy. He lives on the side of a sword, tasting courage and flattering others, just to survive in this world and find an opportunity to reclaim the throne."
"I beg Your Majesty to reconsider. He has been lying to you."
Gu Mengzhen was self-righteous and refuted it harshly.
"You've never met him, how can you say for sure that he's lying to me?"
"Your Excellency Ning Ai is too arbitrary."
"Don't be so hostile to Hao'er because of the old grudge against Xingliang and try to get rid of him as soon as possible."
"The one who caused you to be without a father and mother and suffer all the pain of an orphan was not Hao'er, but Emperor Mu."
"You hate the wrong person."
Realizing that his choice of words was inappropriate, Ning Cangmo corrected himself and continued to persuade.
"That is absolutely not my intention."
"Prince Zhengxian is a truly benevolent ruler, completely different from Prince Dijin. Your Majesty's assessment is absolutely correct, and I have no objection."
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince may not have any ulterior motives, but he truly cares for you. However, he did not do this out of his own will. He was simply deceived by the illusion and mistakenly believed that you were his savior."
"Actually, what is your relationship?"
"Emperor Mu, why did you die?"
"Can the hatred of killing one's father and the revenge of cutting one's bones be forgiven?"
"Once the Crown Prince learns the truth, will he still care about your insignificant friendship?"
"I, your humble servant, have spoken frankly and offended the majesty of Heaven. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
Gu Mengzhen frowned, as if he had made up his mind.
"I would rather give up the world than disappoint my painting."
"He wants the throne, I will give it to him."
"Compared to Prince Dijin, I hope Hao'er will succeed to the throne."
Ning Cangmo's logic and words are correct and he analyzes the situation.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is clearly still alive, yet you not only seized the throne, but also deceived the Lord and hid him in the Zhongsuya Residence. Furthermore, you deceived the world and posthumously honored him with a posthumous title, Zhengxian."
"The Emperor actually believes that if one's crimes don't warrant death, he can still enjoy the honors of a noble title and a high-ranking official?"
Gu Mengzhen felt deeply enlightened and was at a loss for words to respond.
"This……"
Ning Cangmo followed his wishes and added explanation.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is a man of righteousness and affection, and may not have the heart to punish you."
"But if Prince Di Jin repeatedly advises him not to leave any harm behind, then I would like to ask, Your Majesty, will the Crown Prince listen to you, or will he, out of kinship, accept his brother's honest advice?"
Listening to his emotional voice, the situation seemed to be right in front of him. Gu Mengzhen felt lost and at a loss.
"Uh……"
Ning Cangmo gave earnest advice, urging people to proceed step by step, calmly and in an orderly manner.
"He coveted the throne and colluded with the powerful in Xingliang. He betrayed his loyalty and massacred the entire Yan and Lin clans."
"The emperor's crimes are monstrous, bringing disaster to all his clans."
"You may not care about yourself, but don't you care about Lord Jingshan?"
"We mistakenly recognized each other as brothers. After more than twenty years, we just met and now we are about to die together. When we meet the Secret Secretary Zhuang and Madam Zhuang again in another world, how will the emperor explain this to them?"
Uncle Zhuang's sad look and his mother's reproachful words came to mind, and Gu Mengzhen's dragon eyes instantly became fierce.
"kill."
The mission was accomplished, Ning Cangmo was ecstatic in his heart, bowed his head and flattered.
"Your Majesty!"
He was meticulous, knelt down and bowed solemnly, asking for instructions.
"I beg Your Majesty to teach me how to break the formation at Zhongsuya's residence. I will do my utmost to complete this mission and live up to your trust."
Gu Mengzhen opened the secret compartment of the imperial desk, took out the item inside and showed it to him.
"This is the formation diagram, with detailed instructions on how to break it."
"The method is rather difficult. My dear, you will need to practice for at least a day before you can go far away. Remember, no one in the mansion will be left alive."
Ning Cangmo raised his eyes cautiously, confirmed the emperor's will, stood up, walked forward respectfully, and knelt to receive the formation diagram.
"The minister obeys the order."
Gu Mengzhen took out a dagger from the drawer, lowered his eyes, and said with a melancholy look.
"This dagger is extremely sharp and can kill someone in a split second. I prepared it for Hao'er. I originally wanted to give it to him for self-defense."
"Now, I grant you, with my heart, to send him back. My dear, please be careful and do not let him feel any pain."
Ning Cangmo put away the formation diagram and took the dagger with both hands.
"Yes, thank you for your gift, Your Majesty."
Gu Mengzhen's eyes were filled with grief.
"Don't tell the truth, let him die peacefully."
"I will personally handle the aftermath. My dear, please do not underestimate me."
"You can do with the remains as you please. I have something else I want."
Ning Cangmo responded and stepped back to sit beside him.
"Yes."
He had a serious expression, stood humbly, and was not at all impolite.
"Since Your Majesty refuses to acknowledge me as your relative for the time being, please allow me to take Duke Jingshan away."
"Ning Yunxi will soon discover that Duke Jingshan, Ning Jiewei, and the others are missing, and will come to me to retrieve them. I am prepared to make a deal with her to secure the Eight Terraces for His Majesty."
Gu Mengzhen replied in a deep voice.
"allow."
