The Invincible Sixth Prince

In the evening, Emperor Wen held a banquet for his ministers.

"I fell into that rebellious son's trap!"

After the dinner, Emperor Wen complained to Xu Shifu and Qin Liugan in frustration.

"How did His Majesty fall into the trap?"

Qin Liugan was puzzled and asked doubtfully.

Emperor Wen was filled with regret: "That rebellious son deliberately asked Mondo and Zulu to surrender their land at that time, just to make me get excited and reward them lavishly! When the time comes, all the rewards will definitely go to him!"

Xu Shifu was speechless.

Ha ha!

You just reacted now!

What's the use of reacting now?

You have no joke!

The words have been spoken in public. If I don't reward him, wouldn't that be breaking my promise in public?

"This……"

Qin Liugan frowned slightly and looked at Xu Shifu again, "Is that so?"

Xu Shifu nodded gently, "I think the Sixth Prince has a backup plan!"

"I thought of that, too."

Emperor Wen nodded slightly and sighed in annoyance: "I have been tricked by this rebellious son!"

Qin Liugan was confused, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

"You are already old, why doesn't your head grow any bigger?"

Emperor Wen looked at him unhappily and explained, "I promised in public that I would reward Mundo and Zulu handsomely. If I don't keep my promise, Mundo and Zulu will surely rebel! Then, people all over the world will say that I broke my promise and caused them to rebel..."

Rebellion?

Why did they rebel?

Qin Liugan tilted his head and thought about it, then suddenly realized, "Your Majesty means that the Sixth Prince will deliberately condone their rebellion to undermine your reputation and the prestige of the court?"

"You're not that stupid!"

Emperor Wen nodded slightly.

Xu Shifu also nodded in agreement.

He thought so too.

Striking the prestige of Emperor Wen and the imperial court would be of great benefit to Yun Zheng.

Yun Zheng’s plan was good!

Now, Emperor Wen spoke it out in public.

Regardless of whether Emperor Wen rewards Mondo and Zulu handsomely, it will be beneficial to Yun Zheng!

Of course, he only thought of this later.

At the beginning, he just felt that it was a bit inappropriate for Emperor Wen to say in public that he would reward Mondo and Zulu handsomely, but he didn't expect the twists and turns that followed.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Qin Liugan immediately glared at Xu Shifu with his eyes wide open: "Why didn't you stop His Majesty?"

Xu Shifu was slightly choked and asked, "Then why didn't you stop it?"

"Nonsense! How can I understand all these twists and turns?"

Qin Liu dared to say confidently: "Isn't this what you civil officials should do? If I can think of these, what else do I need you civil officials for?"

"you……"

Xu Shifu glared at Qin Liugan, his eyes spitting fire.

Xu Shifu and Qin Liu dared not to get along.

After all these years, nothing has changed.

Facing Xu Shifu's gaze, Qin Liugan immediately glared back.

Both of them stared at each other with their eyes bulging, as if trying to see whose eyes were bigger.

"Cough cough..."

Emperor Wen coughed lightly to stop the two of them, then glared at Qin Liugan, "I'm already annoyed enough, don't make things worse for me here!"

"Wei Chen retire."

Qin Liugan stood up immediately, glared at Xu Shifu again, and then left.

Xu Shifu glared back at Qin Liugan and wanted to leave as well.

He knew that if he didn't leave, he would be faced with another headache.

But Emperor Wen didn't let him go, so he couldn't leave.

Emperor Wen rubbed his head, looking worried.

"Tell me, what should we do now?"

As expected, Emperor Wen asked Xu Shifu for advice.

"This one……"

Xu Shifu felt bitter in his heart, "This is all a trap carefully designed by His Majesty the Sixth Prince. For the time being, I don't know what to do!"

"Then think about it carefully!"

Emperor Wen sighed and said, "After the Fengshan ceremony is over, we have to talk about rewards!"

"Hurry up and think about how to reward them!"

"Anyway, the reward should look significant, but not too substantial."

Xu Shifu's face twitched slightly and he remained silent for a long time.

really!

The credit goes to Emperor Wen!

Whenever there is a headache, it is his!

Make bricks without straw.

Emperor Wen didn't want him to give anything actual, but wanted the reward to appear very heavy?

Isn't this just embarrassing?

Even if Zulu and Mundo were crowned as kings, it wouldn't make much sense!

Before they surrendered, they were equivalent to kings!

If you are given the title of king, it will be just an empty title.

How great can this reward be?

If you want a big reward, you must pay real money!

At this moment, Xu Shifu wanted to yell: Destroy it! I'm tired!

If this continues, Yun Zheng will probably be exhausted to death before he can reach the imperial city and before he has even spent all his money.

Well, I’m also pissed off!

Seeing Xu Shifu remained silent, Emperor Wen patted him on the shoulder again and said, "This time, I was not thoughtful enough. I was so happy that I got carried away and fell into the trap of that rebellious son! You will suffer for a while!"

"Your humble servant... obeys your order!"

Xu Shifu agreed very reluctantly, cursing in his heart.

"Ugh……"

Emperor Wen sighed helplessly: "If you had listened to me before and directly detained Lao Liu and the others, none of this would have happened!"

"..."

Xu Shifu felt as if something was blocking his chest.

So, in the end, it was my fault?

It makes him sound as if he can detain Yun Zheng and the others but won't take any action!

Sure enough, the emperor is always right!

The ministers are the ones who are wrong!

"I am guilty! Your Majesty, please punish me!"

Xu Shifu slowly stood up and knelt down, earnestly apologizing.

"Get up quickly!"

Emperor Wen quickly helped Xu Shifu up and said, "I don't blame you. I just sighed. I also know that this rebellious son is so cunning and cautious. It is too difficult to detain him..."

Emperor Wen sighed as he spoke.

Xu Shifu didn't respond, but just sighed.

"I'm tired."

Emperor Wen patted Xu Shifu's hand and said, "Tomorrow I will have to go up to Jishan to offer sacrifices to the gods. I have to rest now! You should rest early too!"

"Wei Chen resigns!"

Xu Shifu forced a smile.

rest?

He wants to rest!

But Emperor Wen threw such a big problem to him, how could he rest?

After he returns, he will still have to rack his brains to figure it out!

Tonight will most likely be a sleepless night!

After Xu Shifu left, Emperor Wen did not return to his room to rest, but sat there quietly, as if he was making some difficult decision.

Mu Shun didn't want to disturb him, so he just asked someone to bring charcoal braziers and place them around Emperor Wen to prevent him from getting cold.

He himself stood respectfully aside.

When the night wind blew from other directions, he changed his position and blocked the wind for Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen just sat there, motionless, as if in a trance.

After a long time, a cold light suddenly flashed in Emperor Wen's eyes, and it seemed that he had made a decision.

Emperor Wen slowly stood up and ordered in a deep voice: "Instruct everyone in the Xu family to be under secret surveillance!"

"Including the Queen?"

Mu Shun asked in a low voice.

"include!"

Emperor Wen responded and walked into the house...
