"This matter is of great importance and will definitely determine the future of Dali and Tubo, so I ask Your Highness to think twice."
"I've thought about it," the third prince looked at Zhao Jingting, his eyes filled with depth and vicissitudes that no young man could ever see. After a pause, he let out a long sigh and continued, "Actually, I've already thought about it, but I've never been ruthless in the past. I have always known that the First Emperor and the Second Emperor are not good people, but they have always treated me very kindly, so it is very difficult for me to make this decision. "
Zhao Jingting raised his eyebrows: "Then has His Highness the Third Prince completely overcome this difficulty now?"
The third prince nodded slowly, lowered his eyebrows, and said solemnly: "I have always thought that I am a kind-hearted person, so I have always been very cruel to the eldest and second emperor brothers. Although I am conflicted, but Fortunately, I have always been particularly reluctant to be infected with the scheming mentality of having a harem, but now it seems that it is precisely because of my so-called kindness over the years that I have caused the princess's suffering over the years. "
"I have watched helplessly as she has suffered inhuman humiliation over the years, but she has always been grateful that she still maintains a pure and kind heart. How ridiculous? How cruel? I always thought that I had deep feelings and that I was the only one in the world. The person with the deepest love and the most torture, but what have I done? For her, for my so-called deep love, I have actually done nothing, whether it is a piece of clothing, a bag of highland barley, or a pile of highland barley. Drying cow dung, or pretending to be blind all these years, are actually deepening her pain and ignoring her suffering." At this point, the third prince shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, "General Zhao, I really regret it. It would have been better if I had rushed in that year and killed the eldest brother. If I had killed him that day and taken her away, no matter where I went, or whether I would be caught, it would be better. I really regret having made her suffer so much humiliation.”
Zhao Jingting didn't know what happened on that day that the third prince was talking about, and he had no intention of delving into it. His focus must not be on the matter of having children, but from the words of the third prince, he could tell that the third prince was really He made up his mind, this is what he wants to see.
After the third prince finished speaking, Zhao Jingting continued: "Since the third prince has made a decision, the general will definitely help him to assist the third prince to ascend the throne. After the third prince ascends the throne, please send a reliable minister. The ministers went to Dali to meet with the emperor and discuss the armistice agreement. "
"This is natural," the third prince said, standing up and bowing deeply to Zhao Jingting, "I would like to thank General Zhao for your help."
"The general would also like to thank His Highness the Third Highness," Zhao Jingting also bowed deeply, "The general will send a letter to the capital now, asking the Third Highness to wait for the good news."
Zhao Jingting personally sent the third prince out of the palace. After the third prince's figure disappeared into the darkness, Zhao Jingting turned around and said to the guards following him seriously: "Take over the inner courtyard of the Tubo Palace immediately. As well as the residences of all princes and important ministers, no one is allowed to enter or leave at will without my order! Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"
"Yes! I will go and deliver the order right now." The guard was so busy that he bowed to accept the order.
