Chapter 654

The night wind was cold.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Fang Xing's mouth, thinking of some historical novels where the Crown Prince was clearly in a precarious situation, but he didn't dare to rebel, only crying and hugging his thighs to beg for mercy, or pretending to be iron-boned and noble, waiting for death, but actually trying to bind with family affection and reputation.

Then he threw out one invention after another, interests... causing everyone to be surprised and cheer... walking to the end as a reformist, not at all heroic.

Actually, it's all very boring.

It's very simple for a prince to rebel, and even simpler for a Crown Prince to rebel. As long as the Emperor dies, the Crown Prince is the new Emperor!

As for what is not justified, what is not spoken, and the shadow of the axe and the light of the candle... it's all bullshit!

Only by surviving first can you have the qualifications to consider other problems.

As for the chaos in the court? The chaos in the world? The people's livelihood? Then clean it up one by one; anyway, the dead can't talk about this.

The Emperor is selfish!

No one is a saint, and everyone will make mistakes.

Even if it is a wise monarch, if he kills the Crown Prince in his later years and builds ten more "Sizi Terraces," what is the use?

Therefore, if you want to be an Emperor, or even a good Emperor, you must first stand above the people of the world!

Everyone is selfish, and the Emperor is the most selfish, otherwise why is he called the lone man of the world?

Even those so-called "prosperous ages" in ancient times actually had people frozen to death on the roadside, far inferior to modern times...

'Heart nature, heart nature, is the true nature... Since I want to test heart nature, then I will act according to my heart.'

'So, for the sake of my safety... I must commit regicide immediately!'

'The Emperor is in power for one more day, and I am in one more danger.'

'If I am really deposed as Crown Prince one day, it will be even more troublesome to climb up...'

'This world seems to be playing Werewolf, no position is safe, only the Emperor's position is barely a little safe...'

Fang Xing paced a few steps.

The eunuchs and guards below thought the Crown Prince was worried about the attacks in the court, not knowing that their beloved Crown Prince was already considering such rebellious things.

'Soldiers, they should be as hard to know as the shadows, and move like thunder! To commit regicide, one must be unexpected... I have a great advantage now. After all, the Crown Prince was cowardly before, and was brainwashed by the Confucian monarch-subject father-son relationship... and he was not forced to a dead end, so no one would think that I would suddenly want to commit regicide. This is the foundation of being unexpected!'

'And there are many ways to kill the Emperor. A military coup has the biggest movement and the most sequelae, so it's best not to use it if possible...'

'Or Zhuan Zhu stabbing Wang Liao, a white rainbow piercing the sun... an assassin will do.'

Of course, this is very difficult!

After all, there is no supernatural power in this world, and the strongest is only ten enemies. No matter how high the master is, if he is surrounded by a hundred guards, he will be chopped into mud.

In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, assassination might have had a certain possibility, but the rules became stricter as time went on, and the assassin might not even be able to enter the palace.

Not to mention, if the person is not trusted, Zhuan Zhu becomes Qin Wuyang, and the fun will be even bigger.

'The best assassin is actually the Crown Prince himself! After all, he can get close to the Emperor... ordinary people dare not search the Crown Prince's body.'

'And there is no supernatural power in this world, so if you are willing to cut off your life, you dare to pull the Emperor off his horse.'

'Of course, it's not easy to end this way... Prince Tai will laugh to death.'

'Even if the assassin succeeds, and even commits suicide on the spot, according to conspiracy theories, whoever gains the most benefit is the murderer! The Crown Prince also has to bear the criticism, but this is much better... so-called politics, whether it is separated by a hand, whether it is covered with a layer of skin, makes a big difference!'

'So, it is best to poison, and even make people unable to see the poisoning, thinking it is a disease!'

'For modern people, this is very simple. First find a smallpox patient, then get cowpox for yourself, and then get close to the Emperor to pass the smallpox...'

'The more links, the easier it is to make mistakes... and getting smallpox doesn't necessarily mean death; it's possible to survive as a pockmarked person...'

Fang Xing is thinking fast about some chronic toxins, the kind that makes people unable to see the problem.

Suddenly, he looked at the back of his hand.

Streaks of silver-white brilliance gathered, turning into the appearance of the Gate of All Heavens.

Then, an inexplicable heat flowed through his whole body, and the mark of the Gate of All Heavens immediately retreated...

"I have already opened the cheat, and then come with a hack... I am a little ashamed."

Fang Xing sensed silently and found that this hack was not big. Not to mention restoring his immortal strength, even the Qi Condensation stage was not there, just an internal force added to his dantian, turning him into an internal martial arts master.

This internal martial arts is also not very useful, just making him sharp-eared and sharp-eyed, prolonging his life, but it is difficult to exceed the limit of ordinary people, and even harder to resist swords and guns with his physical body.

'But if I go on stage, I will definitely wear heavy armor... and then use complex terrain to fight guerrilla warfare...'

'As the only supernatural being in this world, am I already... invincible?'

'A small hack is not a hack...'

Fang Xing complained, and waited silently for a while, but didn't find the furious world spirit coming to take action, so he couldn't help but laugh, knowing that this test was successful.

The world spirit does not have the power to interfere with the test...

"Your Highness?"

The big eunuch in purple robes below, Eunuch Ma, looked at the Crown Prince, and for some reason, felt that he was a little different.

It was as if the depression of these past few years had been swept away.

"Go back."

Fang Xing sighed and returned to his bedroom.

"Your Highness?"

In the candlelight, a beautiful woman in palace attire was waiting; it was Li Rubi's Crown Princess—the Sun family.

This Sun family came from the Duke of Wei's mansion and was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Wei, having given birth to a son and a daughter for Li Rubi.

Besides this, Li Rubi had two side consorts, both from scholarly families.

Several concubines were daughters of small officials and merchants, all of them beautiful.

'Nobility, civil officials, and merchants have all been considered, absolutely careful and long-term...' 'Back then, the Emperor was still very concerned about Li Rubi. No, now it's even more concerned. After all, the mother's family is too strong, which is not good for the royal family... The current Crown Prince is just right. Prince Tai, Prince Kang, and others actually have the meaning of whetstones, but people have limits. If they are ground for too long, it's hard to guarantee they won't go crazy!'

Fang Xing shook his head and stepped forward to grab the Crown Princess's jade hand: "How are Bao'er and Fu'er?"

"They are all asleep. Hearing that you went to the platform to blow the wind, I specially boiled a bowl of ginger soup..."

The Crown Princess brought a bowl of ginger soup, steaming hot, clearly having burned water in the small stove below, people rested but the stove didn't, keeping it hot all the time.

"Hmm."

Fang Xing picked up the silver soup spoon and took a sip: "Thank you for your hard work... Don't worry, I will write a memorial to plead guilty immediately. As long as the Emperor sees my sincerity in admitting my mistakes, he will definitely not pursue it..."

The Crown Princess breathed a sigh of relief: "It's great that Your Highness is willing to see through it."

"Don't worry."

Fang Xing sighed. In this ancient times, the Crown Princess and even other concubines were honored and disgraced together with him.

If he were deposed, their end would definitely not be good.

!

Therefore, even if he wanted to rebel, they could only follow. Of course, it wouldn't come to that.

"I will be careful, so that you, Fu'er, and Bao'er won't have no end..."

The Crown Princess was startled, and her eyes suddenly turned red...

The next day.

After the memorial to plead guilty was submitted, the Emperor immediately summoned the Crown Prince.

Imperial Study.

"Your son pays respects to Father Emperor!"

Fang Xing bowed meticulously.

Coming to ancient times, he had to follow the customs. If he wanted to get a high score, he had to act and adapt.

He looked up occasionally and saw the Emperor in his middle age, with a very heroic appearance and a ruddy complexion, and sighed in his heart: 'He has at least twenty years to live, so he really can't be left...'

"Rise."

The Emperor examined Fang Xing and spoke calmly, making people fully feel what is called the unpredictability of heaven's might: "You committed a mistake first, and now you know to come and beg for mercy?"

Fang Xing focused on his nose and heart, but slandered: 'If I say "Please call me Crown Prince" at this time, I don't know what the situation will be?'

That picture was too beautiful, he didn't dare to look.

"Hmm? It's a bit more steady..."

The Emperor was a little surprised, pondered for a moment, and said: "I will punish you to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors for three months, are you convinced?"

"Obey the decree!"

Fang Xing said: "Your son is about to read behind closed doors..."

It is difficult to be a Crown Prince, very difficult. If you do well, the Emperor suspects that your wings are full, and if you don't do well, he suspects that you have no ability.

Unless the Emperor is a mediocre person, it is actually better.

Otherwise, beating from time to time is inevitable, and it has to be called "thunder and rain are all heaven's grace."

"Oh? What books have you read recently? Any progress?"

The Emperor spread out white paper, seemingly about to write.

Fang Xing stepped forward and took the initiative to pick up the ancient ink, slowly grinding it.

Seeing this scene, the big eunuch in purple robes, Eunuch Su, who was preparing to take action, was stunned.

When did the Crown Prince have to be so obsequious?

'This suffering can really change a person...'

'The Crown Prince is a noble of heaven, and he has been forced to this step.'

Eunuch Su sighed in his heart, but his face showed nothing.

Seeing this scene, the Emperor was a little happy, feeling that his beating was successful.

He picked up the imperial pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote it down in one go.

"This piece of calligraphy will be bestowed upon you, Crown Prince."

Fang Xing thanked him, and Eunuch Su hurriedly stepped forward to mount it. He glanced at it and saw four big characters—"Ke Ji Fu Li" (Restrain oneself and return to propriety)!

His hand trembled, and he secretly thought: 'Restrain oneself and return to propriety, restrain private desires, and make words and deeds conform to etiquette... Is this implying that the Crown Prince is overstepping? It couldn't be a more obvious beating... If Prince Kang and Prince Tai hear the news, they will definitely be very happy.'

Eunuch Su couldn't help but want to see the Crown Prince's face, but saw that the Crown Prince's face was as usual: "Thank you, Father Emperor, for the calligraphy."

Taking the opportunity to bow, he approached the Emperor and brushed a palm lightly.

——Heart-Destroying Force!

Fang Xing used dark energy, just like a breeze, unknown and unaware.

The key is that it lies dormant, and only suddenly erupts three days later, destroying the heart pulse.

After this palm, he already regarded the Emperor as a dead man.

'Actually, poisoning is also possible, but after all, I have to collect materials, which is easy to leave traces... The more people involved, the easier it is to have problems!'

'But my internal force is unique in this world, and this regicide matter is rotten in my own stomach from beginning to end, so I am not afraid of leaking it at all.'

Fang Xing calmly took the calligraphy scroll: "Your son takes his leave!"
