The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"Actually, the throne was not originally mine, but someone else's."

"You mean? The First Prince?"

"That's right!"

Jiang Chengli nodded and said: "I'm not a Mingjun, the eldest brother Huang is the real Mingjun, the best disciple of the Zhao family!"

hear this.

Wang Kang was really confused.

The eldest prince who forced the palace in a coup.

This is the biggest rebellion, and it is the son forcing the father.

Such a thing, even if it is successful, will remain in the history books forever and be shameless!

But listen to what Jiang Chengli means.

He seems to have great respect for the First Prince, if that's the case.

Then why did he stand up to oppose, stop, and finally force the eldest prince to commit suicide, wouldn't it be good to just let him be the emperor?

"The elder brother of the emperor is named Gan, and those who reach the top are Qian, and those who are high are like Qi. The sky is the accumulation of Qi, so Qian is the sky."

Jiang Chengli said flatly: "Just like this name, Brother Huang has been extraordinary since he was born. He showed a very high talent when he was young. As long as he is taught by Mr., he will learn it as soon as he learns it, and he can draw inferences from one instance..."

"Treat people with peace and anger, and treat each of our younger brothers very well."

"He is the eldest son. This is an undeniable fact. No one can change it. His father also raised him as the crown prince. When he was less than 20 years old, he went out with the army and made great achievements in battle!"

"When the father, the emperor, drove to conquer Eastern Chu, the elder brother was also in charge of the country. He did a good job, even better than his father!"

"Manchu civil and military are very satisfied, he will be a generation of Mingjun, but all this has changed since the father came back from Eastern Chu!"

Wang Kang knew what Jiang Chengli was talking about.

At that time, there was friction between the two armies on the border of Zhao and Chu, which was actually not a big problem, but at that time, the old Emperor Zhao had a very tough attitude and would not give in at all.

In the end, Chu State was angered!

Then use a large number of troops against Zhao Guo!

The old Emperor Zhao is ambitious, and he wants to meet the most powerful country on this continent!

But he miscalculated!

Or underestimated the power of Chu!

Casually, Chu State dispatched millions of soldiers, and the battle was defeated!

The loss of troops will be countless.

Even the entire eastern province was captured!

One of the four original provinces of Zhao State was lost...

"That battle dealt too much blow to the father!"

Jiang Chengli said in a low voice: "I clearly remember that it was one night when the father came back in a state of distress. He smashed a lot of things and even killed several people!"

"Father turned gray overnight... His temperament has changed drastically since then!"

"He became very happy. The soldiers controlled by the imperial court were wiped out. He began to use the nobles wantonly, perhaps to make up for the failure against Chu. In order to prove himself, he set his sights on Yue again!"

"The protracted war began. In order to have troops and supporters, he began to grant points, and the titles seemed to be given away without money, but this also dragged down a powerful country!"

"In his later years, he is already fatuous. The local military and government are controlled by veteran nobles. He will kill anyone who advises him!"

"If things go on like this, only courtiers are left in the imperial court, and he is still living in his own dream, unable to extricate himself..."

Jiang Chengli took a deep breath, and continued: "The State of Zhao has reached the most critical moment. It's a fake show, but in fact, the interior is full of devastation. The Jiang Dynasty seems to have become a decoration."

"I'm not in a hurry, I know that when Elder Brother Huang comes to power, he will definitely be able to change the situation!"

"But the father did another stupid thing. He didn't abdicate. At the end of the year three years ago, he was planning to attack Chu again..."

"How can you fight?"

"The national treasury is empty, and the court has no soldiers to use. If we attack Zhao, it will be gone, or the surname Jiang will be gone, so..."

Wang Kang said: "So the eldest prince can't wait any longer, right?"

"Correct!"

"Brother Huang can't wait any longer, he can't just sit and watch the country crumble and the Jiang surname useless!"

"He was secretly contacting many parties and launching a mutiny!"

Jiang Chengli said: "I was really at a loss at the time, even if it was for the country, elder brother Huang shouldn't do such an extreme thing!"

"My son returns to Lao Tzu, even if he becomes the emperor, he will be infamous forever!"

"I only found out during the incident that his purpose was far from forcing a coup in the palace. He never thought of becoming an emperor at all!"

hear this.

Wang Kang was taken aback for a moment, and said with a little surprise: "The people the eldest prince recruited were actually very powerful old nobles at that time, and they were all officials who were disobedient. They forced a coup in order to have an excuse. Get rid of them?"

"Correct!"

Jiang Chengli responded: "Brother Huang wants to kill multiple birds with one stroke, and completely get rid of all the criticisms at that time!"

Wang Kang asked, "What role did you play in this?"

"I'm kind of a puppet."

"puppet?"

"Correct!"

Jiang Chengli said in a low voice: "Brother Huang has already planned everything. He instigated the defense forces of Dingbian City. When he was still in trouble, he deliberately made wrong strategies. In short, he will fail."

"He didn't want to be emperor, his purpose was just to get rid of these..."

"So what was said outside was that I tried my best to turn the tide, quell the chaos, and cause the eldest prince to force the palace to fail... These are all fake!"

"I just follow the arrangement given to me by the elder brother Huang. He is the one who used his fame and his life to push me up and let me step on his body to step onto the throne!"
