Ever since I got sick, I have been pondering a question: where do people go after they die
I am the Son of Heaven, the monk said, I am the Emperor Ziwei who has come down to earth, even if I die, I will return to my original position.
There is nothing to be afraid of. Being the Emperor of Ziwei is definitely better than being an emperor on earth, isn't it
However, when I really faced the life and death situation, I was very scared.
Everyone has to go through this disaster, and I know I am no exception. However, I still have a way to survive, so why should I admit defeat
How can I give up my throne, my children, and my kingdom
My father once said that my seventh brother is more talented than me, but I never took it to heart.
Because, no matter how talented a person is, he will only become my subject in the future, and my seventh brother has been close to me since childhood, it is impossible for him to have any rebellious thoughts against me.
I feel very comfortable and confident using it.
How can I not trust my own brother
Sure enough, he made many military achievements, defended the territory of our Great Zhou, and became the famous god of war of our Great Zhou.
At that time, the Grand Tutor told me that he was afraid that the general would become too powerful and would threaten the emperor, and asked me to find ways to curb him.
I angrily rebuked the Grand Tutor for his mean-spirited mind!
I remember that I told the Grand Tutor at that time that even if everyone in the world would let me down and betray me, my seventh brother would not.
Because he was born to assist me.
I have had great ambitions since I was young. I want to govern a prosperous and powerful country. I don’t have to become the greatest emperor in history, but I must become the most wise emperor of the Great Zhou.
Therefore, when I was still the crown prince, my ancestors asked me whether I was willing to exchange the throne for a stable life.
I don't want to.
Because being an emperor is my dream. Since I was a child, I have known that I would become an emperor in the future, standing in the highest place of the Great Zhou and commanding the world.
A stable life? That is the wish of ordinary people, and I am the one who helps them realize their wish.
I will use my wisdom to ensure that the people of the Great Zhou live and work in peace and contentment, and lead a smooth life.
After I fell ill, I was unable to manage the government, and my illness was serious, so I had to find a trustworthy person to be the regent and govern the Great Zhou on my behalf.
My first choice is the seventh one.
Without any further thought, he decided to make the seventh prince the regent.
The party of the Grand Tutor has been growing stronger, and the Crown Prince is a useless person, so only the Seventh Prince can curb them.
The Seventh Brother lived up to my trust and eradicated the Taifu's clique.
Not only that, his princess also knows medicine. It was she who saved me when I was on the verge of life and death.
However, to my disappointment, she can only control my condition but cannot cure me.
I now think that if I had died at that time, our brotherhood would not have been lost.
However, I see hope in Sun Fanger.
That feeling is like a drowning person suddenly encountering a life-saving water plant, and I naturally have to hold on to it tightly.
No matter whether this life-saving straw will turn out to be poison in the end.
It is indeed poison.
However, this poison can allow me to sit on the throne again. Looking at the kneeling crowd of internal and external court officials, I have indescribable feelings in my heart.
There is a voice in my heart that keeps echoing: I must survive, at all costs.
My ambitions and aspirations have not yet been fulfilled, and my reign as emperor should not end.
However, I gradually discovered that after the fall of the Grand Tutor's party, the Regent's family became the only one in power, and with Xia Zian's help, Xiao Xiao was actually going to marry my aunt.
This is a huge threat, greater than the threat from Taifu and Lao Ba.
I am panicking. If I die, they will be able to take advantage of the country. But I still have hope of survival, so I must take back the throne.
Axin is not capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility, not because he has no talent, but because he has always been close to the seventh brother, and the relationship between the uncle and nephew is very close.
The position of the crown prince can be considered later. My top priority is to stay alive. If I recover, I will still be in my prime and will have a capable prince in the future.
At this time, first Xia Lin died, and then Sun Fang'er got into trouble, and my hope was gone.
What should I do? I don't want to die.
In despair, I thought of one person, my ancestor.
I know that my ancestor can save me, but she has been standing idly by.
If you want to force her to take action, you have to take action against the person she favors.
Her favorite is the seventh child.
Sure enough, I forced her to come back.
I am prepared to face her anger. I know that she will not stand idly by for the sake of the seventh brother's life.
Many things are within my calculations, and many things are beyond my calculations.
Xia Zian became the key person who determined my life and death.
I have no choice but to cast the same fate poison on Xia Zian.
It is not difficult to find someone who knows how to cast a curse. To save my life, I have to tie my life together with Xia Zian's life.
I succeeded in casting the curse, but I also failed.
Because of the epidemic in Jiangdong, Murong Jie actually rebelled.
I simply cannot believe it. Father, ancestors, you all said that the Seventh Prince was a loyal patriot and would not rebel. But did you see? He rebelled!
I have left a way out for Murong Jie. If he takes the blame for the epidemic in Jiangdong and retreats quickly, I will tell him that Xia Zian was poisoned.
But he didn't. He put me on the altar and asked me to confess my sins in front of the people of the capital.
I failed to become the greatest emperor of all time, but I became the sinner of all time.
There is no need for me to live any longer. What's the point of living if I am condemned by so many people
But, if I die, you, Murong Jie, will not have an easy life.
When I told him that Xia Zian was poisoned, he went completely crazy.
That’s great, that’s great, it really makes me feel relieved.
I committed suicide in front of all my ministers and the people, and put the blame on him, angrily accusing him of regicide. I wanted him to be the target of public criticism and bear all the infamy.
Even if he ascended the throne and became emperor in the future, no matter how much he did for the Great Zhou, he could not erase this shameful history.
Even if I die, I will die with my eyes closed.
The question I have always thought about is where do people go after they die.
After my death, my soul will leave my body.
I was floating in the air, looking at everything below. I saw my own body, dripping with blood, as tattered as cotton wool.
Fragments of people and things that I once cared about began to flood into my mind.
The person I think about the most is the seventh brother, and therefore I hate him the most.
"Rebellious son!"
Suddenly I heard a majestic voice. The voice was very familiar, and I looked around subconsciously.
Is it the father
But I didn't see it. Instead, I wanted to see it. I wanted to tell my father that the son he had always trusted had rebelled.
"Rebellious son, you are such a tyrant!"
My father's voice sounded again. I felt extremely aggrieved and shouted into the void, "I am not a tyrant."
No one responded.
I am filled with hatred. Okay, I will stay in this world for a while and see how you, Murong Jie, try to seize my throne and kill my princes. Someday, I will be able to accuse you, Murong Jie, of treason in front of my father and ancestors.
