Jiang Mao finally let someone take the fifth prince Jiang Zhu.
Before mobilizing the fifth prince, Jiang Mao had considered it carefully, he knew that the old emperor alone would not be able to get through.
But he still let people take the fifth prince.
…
With a small group of people, Jiang Mao went to the old emperor's bedroom with Su Caicai in one hand.
The old emperor who was lying on the bed suddenly saw the door opened and Jiang Mao came in, he bowed his body in fright, and lay back down again - he originally wanted to sit up, but it was too difficult for him without the maid to support him.
The vitality of this old thing is really tenacious, and the other old people can't stand it after such a toss.
The old emperor was terrified at first, but after accepting the fact that Jiang Mao was still alive, he immediately glared at him resentfully.
The old emperor's hair was all white, almost lost his hair, and because of long-term illness, he was a little terribly thin. His face was full of dimples, his teeth fell out a lot, his mouth was sunken, and his cloudy eyeballs stared over. It was scary. Su Caicai was so frightened that she tore open the front of Jiang Mao's skirt, and buried her head in like a mouse.
Jiang Mao patted Su Caicai's butt soothingly with one hand, and looked at the old emperor's lips curled up with an unclear expression.
"I know, you're disappointed that I'm not dead yet."
One sentence blocked the countless questions in the old emperor's mind.
Jiang Mao added: "I know the whole story of this matter."
The old emperor probably felt guilty, and closed his eyes tremblingly.
"For this matter, I have no intention of wronging myself." Jiang Mao's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"You, you... what do you want?" The old emperor couldn't care less about hearing what he said.
"I took Jiang Zhu."
After hearing his words, the old emperor suddenly gained strength for some reason and sat up directly.
"You you you..." The old emperor pointed at Jiang Mao with shaking fingers.
Jiang Mao knew what the Fifth Prince meant to him.
Jiang Mao rubbed Su Caicai's head, he didn't want to talk nonsense with the old emperor, so he said directly, "Jiang Zhu wants to kill me, I can't spare his life."
The old emperor suddenly got stuck, they were the ones who attacked Jiang Mao first, if he asked Jiang Mao to let Jiang Zhu go, don't think about it, Jiang Mao would never agree, but... just give Jiang Shan to Jiang Mao? This Jiang Mao who never grows up by his side and has no father-son relationship with him
The old emperor was not reconciled.
Jiang Mao also knew that he was unwilling.
"How about we negotiate a condition?" Jiang Mao suddenly asked while pinching Su Caicai's fat feet.
"What conditions?"
"You decree to convict Jiang Zhu and appease the courtiers."
Jiang Mao didn't plan to do anything to the old emperor for the time being. He was a foreigner, and there must be many people who would not like him. If he was forced to be named patricide, it would be very detrimental to him.
Hearing the condition, the old emperor laughed angrily. What condition is there? The fifth prince is gone, and the throne can only fall to Jiang Mao.
Jiang Mao guessed what the old emperor was thinking, he slowly said again: "Besides the fifth prince, you also have a son."
A sarcastic smile froze on his face, the old emperor just remembered that he had a disabled son. That son is usually the most filial, but because of his disability, he has always turned a blind eye to his filial piety.
…
After the old eunuch read the imperial edict of the old emperor, he knelt on the ground and the faces of the five princes were full of disbelief. How could it be that the father was the only son left who was close to him and normal, so how could he abandon him
But to convict the fifth prince, there are many crimes, such as brotherhood, forming a party for personal gain, and killing Zhongliang...
Ignoring the commotion below, the old eunuch took another imperial decree and read it.
Jiang Jun's heart was pounding when he knelt down, and he was a little nervous, but he was not surprised.
The old emperor decided to make Jiang Jun the crown prince.
I remember not long ago, the fourth brother suddenly pulled him out and asked him, "Do you want to be the emperor?"
At that time, he was taken aback, and hurriedly stammered: "Fourth brother, you, you, what are you talking about, after fifth brother is done, I will try my best to help you."
But seeing his fourth brother waving his hands tiredly, "If I give you a chance, I will let you be the emperor."
Jiang Jun held his breath, how many men in the world could refuse to be emperor. Because of his physical disability, he had long since given up his extravagant hopes, but at this moment, he realized that he still expected it.
"However, I have a condition." Jiang Mao glanced at the big baby in his arms, "You want to make Cai Cai the crown prince."
Jiang Jun agreed without hesitation. It is probably impossible for him to have children in this life.
"Fourth brother..." After hesitating for a while, Jiang Jun still asked what he was thinking, "Why don't you want to be the emperor yourself?"
Jiang Mao rubbed his forehead with a smile, but didn't speak.
He is a person who has died once, and has experienced life and death several times in this life. After being on the battlefield, he is even more used to seeing life and death. He no longer wants to waste his time on those boring things.
