Everyone Knows I’m a Good Man

The emperor was depressed and aggrieved. He had thousands of things to say in his heart, but he could not say them out.

He has been blamed a lot, but this is the first time someone has put a blame on his head. However, he knows that he has never done any of these things, but no one believes him.

The situation is over. Ji Changze first revealed all the evil things he had done. Now, he no longer has any trust in everyone's mind.

Regardless of whether he admits it or not, the blame must be placed on his head.

He had always wronged others, and after being wronged this time, the emperor realized how uncomfortable it felt.

Now that the situation was over, he became disheartened and no longer tried his best to refute after seeing no response after he argued several times.

Even because now that he is really torn apart, it can be seen that Ji Changze hates himself to the core and will definitely not give him a good end. He is not so afraid of breaking the jar.

"so what."

The emperor, whose hair has long been gray, has a very haggard face due to several blows. The crown of his hair is also slightly tilted, and some scattered hair hangs to the side. He looks like a qualified loser.

He smiled sarcastically, with pride as an emperor and disdain for Ji Changze, a rebellious minister: "What do you mean by these? Take these, a pile of tattered papers, old things, and use them to accuse me of being stupid. How can one be so jealous of the wise and able to sit in this position openly and openly?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

He leaned on his dragon chair with a smile full of disdain. He smiled and stood up suddenly. His voice became louder and he stretched out his finger to point at the person standing below. The movement was so big that it made the emperor's hair crown crooked. Falling to the ground:

"No matter how high-sounding you say!!! No matter how excusable the circumstances are, rebellious ministers and traitors are rebellious ministers and traitors. Even if you step on me into the mud, you are still a rebel and treason, and everyone will punish you!!! "

In the silent hall, Ji Changze smiled.

"Your Majesty has a really bad memory. Didn't I just say that? I don't want to rebel."

Master Ji, who said he didn't want to rebel, walked step by step towards the dragon chair after saying this.

He walked very steadily, stepped onto the steps, and walked to the dragon chair that represented the imperial power in full view of everyone. When the emperor was vigilant and tried his best to hide his fear, and the ministers standing below held their breath involuntarily, Ji Changze squatted down. , picked up the hair crown.

Then, he gently put the hair crown back on the stiff emperor's head.

The emperor didn't want to show his cowardice, but because of his greed for life and fear of death, he still didn't dare to move, allowing Ji Changze to just place the crown on his head.

In my ears, Ji Changze's gentle voice came: "How could you have thought that I would rebel?"

No need to think about it?

You have brought an army to force the palace.

Both the emperor and the ministers felt that their brains were a little exhausted under Ji Changze's repeated denial of rebellion.

After all this, you still insist on not rebelling?

So what does he want to do?

They soon knew what Ji Changze wanted to do.

Mr. Ji kindly helped the embarrassed Majesty tidy up his appearance after finishing the hair crown.

"I said that I want to restore my master's innocence."

"If I rebel, push His Majesty down, sit on the throne myself, and clarify Master's name at this time, will the world really believe that Master is innocent?"

Ji Changze slowly walked behind the dragon throne and stood next to the stiff emperor. His low voice was like a devil whispering:

"They will think that I only helped rehabilitate the master because of the relationship between master and apprentice. Even if the master is really innocent and the relationship between the master and the master is involved, they will not believe this innocence. This is not what I want. , Otherwise, in the past sixteen years, I have had many opportunities to quietly let His Majesty return to the west, why have I delayed it until now? "

The emperor trembled with these words.

Yes, Ji Changze has been his confidant for the past sixteen years. He has countless opportunities to take revenge, so why must he wait for these sixteen years.

"What on earth do you want!"

"What do you want me to do? I don't want much, I just want my master's innocence to be restored. If there is any doubt or stigma, it is not called innocence!!"

"After many years of planning, what I want is for your majesty to personally admit that it was your fault when he was in power. Only you, the person who convicted my master of treason, can personally overturn this old case." Believe it or not! Only with a clear name can my master return to heaven!"

The emperor's eyes were bloodshot, his lips were trembling and he was speechless.

Fortunately, Ji Changze didn't need him to speak.

He walked slowly to the pen and ink that the emperor had dropped before, picked them up one by one and put them where they should be, laid out the paper, dipped the pen in ink, and handed it to the emperor.

There were still a few drops of Zhou Ru's blood on his face, and the blood fell on the right cheek. With the faint smile, the visual effect was a bit like dimples, but when the "dimples" representing innocence came to Ji Changze's face, he looked a little scary. .

"Your Majesty, please write an edict to punish yourself."

The emperor shook his hands and refused to take the pen.

"I, I am not wrong...it's them, they formed a clique for personal gain..."

If he really wrote the edict of sin, how would the people, courtiers, and even history books a hundred years later view him and describe him.

He has spent his whole life trying to keep this mask, even killing old ministers and harming loyal ministers. Now he has to splash ink on the mask with his own hands, how can he do it.

Seeing that he didn't cooperate, Ji Changze still smiled, slowly put the pen away, took off the hairpin on his head, and pressed it down. The sharp blade under the hairpin was exposed, and the sharp edge was pointed at the person on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, if the edict cannot be written because of sin, I don't mind writing the edict with blood."

If all roads are dead ends and you have no choice but to wait for death, some fearlessness will inevitably arise.

But if Ji Changze gave him a way of life and a way of death, and now he is facing death, those fearlessness and fearlessness will fade away with the desire to live.

The emperor's eyes gradually became moist. He shook his hands and slowly took the pen.

The pen slowly fell in front of me, but it still refused to put it on the paper.

"I, I was also deceived by others... This is not my fault. I gave Li Qing a posthumous title, worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple, and let him enjoy all the incense... Ji Qing, I have treated you well these years, please let me go. ,ah?"

When he prayed for his life and dignity, his gray hair and wrinkled face looked like an ordinary old man with a pitiful expression.

It's a pity that Ji Changze doesn't accept this trick.

"OK."

He agreed, and after seeing the surprised expression on the emperor's face, he added: "If your majesty can hit a pillar and die and come back to life again, and bring my master here, I will obey your majesty in everything."

The expression on the emperor's face suddenly became green and beautiful.

He gritted his teeth and finally stood on the edict with the hanging pen tip carrying ink.

A self-incriminating edict was written under the supervision of Ji Changze. The content was clear and specific, admitting his crime and explaining Mr. Li's innocence.

After he stopped writing, the emperor felt tormented and relieved at the same time.

Thinking with some naivety that was very inconsistent with his past behavior, he had now satisfied Ji Changze's purpose and it was time for this person to stop.

It would be strange if Ji Changze stopped.

After he was satisfied with the inspection of the sinner's edict, he said lightly: "Your Majesty, please choose a highness to pass on the throne."

The emperor looked at him with wide eyes in disbelief: "What do you mean?!!"

After receiving the sinner's edict, Ji Changze didn't bother to act like a rational minister anymore, and sneered and output:

"I am also thinking of Your Majesty. Now your face has been stripped off and your true colors have been exposed. How you framed Zhongliang, how cruel you are, how jealous you are to the point that even your own son is afraid of them, everyone knows it. That's it. , do you still have the face to see these ministers?"

"Anyone with a little sense of shame will probably hide their face and run away. Your Majesty has been able to hold on so far without any shame. He is so greedy for power, even to the point of losing his face. I admire you very much, but you are still You have to think about whether your ministers will feel nauseous and want to vomit the next time they face your shameless and disgusting old face, and everyone’s faces will look bad.”

Emperor: "...You, you are so presumptuous!"

Ji Changze didn't even raise his eyelids and continued:

"Besides, we all know what your Majesty is like. To say you are stupid and immoral is an insult. You don't have the ability to handle government affairs, nor can you coordinate the functions of ministers. In addition to eating, drinking and having fun every day, you spend extravagantly. , your greatest contribution during the many years of your reign is to have several princes, but if you think about it carefully, you should actually be more grateful to the mothers and concubines of your highnesses. Otherwise, if your highnesses all follow your majesty, our country will be on the verge of subjugation. Far."

After he said this long sentence, the emperor's face could no longer be described as green.

Green and white, I couldn't say a word for a long time.

In the court, the emperor was demoted to the point of being worthless and even paid for it, while the civil and military officials watched from below. This was the first time in history.

Unfortunately, the emperor was almost furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Either a prince will be chosen to inherit the throne, or he will be killed on the spot.

No matter how frustrated I feel, I will naturally choose to survive.

After the emperor was angry, he regained some sense and sneered in his heart.

Let him abdicate in favor of his son?

Ji Changze's behavior just now really made him think that this person was very scheming, taking one step at a time and seeing ten steps ahead, but now it seemed that he was still not courageous enough.

If he directly killed the royal family today and replaced him himself, he might still be the emperor for a few days.

But Ji Changze actually asked him to abdicate in favor of his son.

Except for the eldest son, all his sons are filial and obedient. They usually obey his wishes and stay in the house.

No matter which one you choose, you will definitely be filial to him.

Even if today he allows his son to ascend the throne and abdicates the throne under the coercion of Ji Changze, when today's worries are relieved, his filial sons will definitely not control the power.

After all, after experiencing what happened to his eldest son, the emperor felt that he had learned a lesson, and implemented the education "If you are not talented, you are my good son" to the remaining sons.

Although they were princes, they did not learn anything about what the emperor should do.

In this case, even if the throne is handed over to them, as long as they give the order, they will still return the position to them.

While the emperor was confident, he couldn't help but feel proud of his foresight.

Because he was confident in his heart, he did not delay this time, but readily agreed.

It's just that none of the four princes went to court. This was naturally the "sequelae of the eldest prince" left by the emperor. The eldest prince at that time went to court to study according to the rules when he was old enough.

The result was that he was praised overwhelmingly for his excellence, which hit the emperor's mediocre heart, and this led to disaster.

Because the emperor learned from this experience, he simply canceled this rule and raised his sons like pets.

Just as he was about to issue an order for his filial sons to come over, others saw Ji Changze and clapped their hands.

The four princes followed a group of soldiers and walked straight in.

The emperor's heart skipped a beat.

Ji Changze actually made preparations early, and even several of his sons were arranged early by this rebellious minister and traitor.

But the panic in my heart only came out for a moment, and then I calmed down and swallowed it down.

What are you thinking about? Anyway, no matter which son the throne is given to, it belongs to the royal family. When the time comes, these sons will have no ability to manage the government, and no one can take away his position.

Ji Changze didn't pay attention to what he was thinking. He just watched the princes enter the hall, shrinking their necks and not daring to move as if they had entered some terrifying place.

He raised his voice and said: "Your highnesses have listened to the whole process. You should know what the situation is now, so I will not explain to you more."

"Now, it just depends on who your Majesty wants to choose."

The emperor abdicated the throne to his son, actually taking place on such an occasion. Even though many people present felt it was ridiculous, their eyes were still very honestly focused on the Tian family father and son, only watching who the emperor would choose.

Anyway, the result would be the same no matter who he chose, so the emperor didn't choose carefully. After much deliberation, he chose the second prince who he felt was the most filial.

However, no one present except Ji Changze expected that as soon as he asked the second prince to inherit the throne, the second prince turned pale and immediately knelt down.

"Father, my son only loves construction and does not dare to think about the throne in the slightest. I ask my father to choose someone else."

How can anyone push the throne away anxiously when the throne is about to be delivered to their door?

There are still such things in the world.

As soon as these words came out, eight people were shocked in their hearts.

The emperor's originally confident expression naturally froze.

He never expected that this most obedient and filial son would actually refuse the throne.

This is the throne.

There was a trace of anger in his heart, but because Ji Changze was still standing beside him, the emperor forced himself to put away these emotions that should not be shown and looked at the third prince.

"Third brother, I will abdicate to you."

The third prince was standing quietly, but when he heard this, his expression changed drastically. Like the second prince brother, he immediately refused and said: "Father, my son has no ability and cannot take on big responsibilities. Please take back your life."

This is the second prince to refuse.

The look on the emperor's face was very ugly.

"Fourth child."

Plop——

Kneel down again.

Even the youngest fifth prince hastily refused when the throne came to him.

Four princes, four refused.

The emperor's first reaction was not that none of his sons had any ambition to make progress, but that Ji Changze must have threatened them.

This is the throne.

If you can have it, who wouldn’t want it?

What's more, they are still princes. Don't princes naturally yearn for the throne from birth and use all their means to fight for it?

Even if they are docile and don't fight for it, they won't be able to sit down when the throne is presented to them.

Ji Changze could naturally tell what the emperor was thinking.

He sneered: "Your Majesty is as shameless as ever. It is obviously his own fault. Now that several of your highnesses refuse to inherit the throne, your Majesty only wants to blame others. He has never thought about who caused today's scene."

"Your Highnesses have not been taught properly since childhood, and have never been exposed to government affairs. Your Highness is the oldest. He will have grandchildren in two years, but he has never held any position in the court. He has been raised like this. For many years, your Highnesses are not like His Majesty who only cares about his own happiness and does not care about the life and death of others, so naturally they are not willing to sit on the throne and harm others. "

Ever since he received the imperial edict, Ji Changze seemed to have turned on some terrible switch. He told the emperor that he would carry a gun and a stick with a flower in his hand, and he really carried out the three words "tear his face" to the end.

However, the emperor's face turned green, but he did not dare to say anything.

He hated Ji Changze so much that he hated Ji Changze for forcing him to do this, and at the same time he hated these sons for being so stupid that they couldn't even figure out such a simple expedient.

"As you can see, it's not that I don't want to abdicate, it's that they don't want the throne."

The emperor said that he was innocent, and he was really a lifelike old version of the white lotus.

Ji Changze smiled gently at him: "Your Majesty, isn't it true that not only his brain is lost but his memory is also useless because of his age? Don't you have a prince?"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's expression really changed.

"What do you mean!"

"Since the other highnesses are unwilling to sit on the throne, please ask your majesty to invite those who are willing to sit on the throne."

The emperor's expression changed several times.

He didn't dare to refuse directly, so he made excuses.

"The eldest prince has been imprisoned for many years and does not understand the current reality. If I abdicate the throne to him now, I am afraid that his younger brothers will not be convinced..."

This is a subconscious attempt to find a reason.

As soon as the words came out, the princes who were still standing like quails immediately became energetic.

The second prince raised his head, his eyes bright: "Father, I am convinced. If the eldest brother ascends the throne, I will be convinced by you and will definitely help you."

The third prince said in an excited tone: "My sons and ministers are just like me. I will do my best to my eldest brother."

The fourth and fifth princes followed suit: "Exactly, father, please rest assured."

The emperor almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

He's so relieved. He's so relieved.

What is going on with these sons? Why are they not competitive at all? If their eldest brother wants to sit on the throne, even if they don't express their intention to seize the throne, at least they can't wait to support him with both hands and feet.

The prince who fought his way out of a group of princes couldn't figure out why his sons had such different styles.

Unable to pass the blame to his son, the emperor looked hopefully at the courtiers again.

"My dear friends, I am afraid that you are not willing to accept the eldest prince as the emperor, right?"

Courtiers: "..."

How to say this.

Their requirements are actually not high, as long as the person who ascends the throne is not the one currently in office.

The eldest prince has a reputation as a virtuous man. Since what happened back then was a frame-up and the other princes also agreed with it, they naturally also... wanted to agree.

There was silence, and no one responded to the emperor. Everyone expressed silence that they also agreed with the eldest prince's ascension.

The emperor was sick to his heart.

When he first came to power, he faced numerous difficulties and dangers. He also had to deal with obstacles among his brothers and face the doubts of the courtiers.

But why is it the eldest prince’s turn?

It looks like everyone is looking forward to it.

The prince, who was originally very jealous of his son, felt like a lemon at this moment.

When Ji Changze asked him to summon the eldest prince quickly, the emperor, who had always cooperated for the sake of his own life, became tough for the first time.

"The eldest prince is disobedient and cannot be king."

"Even if I would rather die, I would never announce his return to the court!!"

These words were resounding, showing how firm his determination was.

Even Ji Changze couldn't help but nodded in admiration: "Your Majesty is indeed a hero. His face remained unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai."

After a stick of incense.

The eldest prince, who had not seen the sun outside for a long time, was announced into the hall.

The emperor, with a knife on his neck, sat there with sweat on his face and anger on his face.

Although he was forced to call the eldest prince, after accepting this reality, he also had a trace of expectation in his heart.

He was imprisoned for sixteen years.

The eldest prince's mental state can't possibly be in good condition. The praises of those people that day were like a bright moon and a gentleman like jade. He had been imprisoned for sixteen years without a good meal or a roof over his head. Anyone who sleeps with a good cup is a joke.

The passage of time will definitely polish this son who once compared him to shame into a state of embarrassment.

As for the other sons, they may not want to ascend to the throne, but facing the eldest brother they have not seen for sixteen years, don't they feel uneasy and unfamiliar?

It's better to do nothing yourself than let a brother with no emotional foundation come to power.

When he meets this eldest son, he will definitely be able to sit back and watch the jokes...

The emperor thought this, and then met the eyes of the eldest prince, who had a rosy face, fair skin, and a tall figure, and even looked a little fatter than he remembered.

emperor:"……"

what happened.

How could he gain weight after being imprisoned for sixteen years without food or clothing?

It doesn't matter.

He comforted himself.

There is no family affection in the royal family. The more powerful the eldest prince is, the more frustrated the other sons will feel.

Try your best to help.

What admiration and admiration.

Brothers with the same father and mother may not be able to do it, let alone royal brothers with the same father and mother.

Just after comforting himself, he saw that his sons were like chickens seeing an old hen. Their eyes lit up and they quickly hid behind the eldest prince.

"Big Brother!"

"Brother, you are here."

After hiding, they looked like they had something to rely on. They looked over cautiously, a little timidly, and then hurriedly hid again.

emperor:"……"

Ji Changze added jealousy: "I really envy Your Majesty. Look at His Majesty's children. They are brothers, friends and brothers. They are so harmonious that they all support His Highness."

emperor:"……"

His ministers and sons all turned towards the eldest son whom he had been jealous of for many years.

Why! Why?

Ji Changze seemed to have noticed his doubts and stabbed the knife beside him: "Thanks to Your Majesty. He was worried that other princes would threaten your status like the eldest prince, so he developed such a cowardly character in them. They can't Are you relying more on His Highness?"

"Your Majesty, in order for His Highness to ascend the throne smoothly, you did not hesitate to sacrifice yourself, treated other princes and His Highnesses harshly, and neglected the government affairs. Now His Highness can be supported and ascended to the throne in a logical way."

actually……

Did he cause it all by himself?

In the end, his position was taken away by this son, and all the cause and effect cycle was actually because of himself.

The emperor's eyes widened, he coughed violently, and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.

Ji Changze: "Hey! Your Majesty was so moved that he vomited blood!"

"Tsk, tsk, my father's love is as great as a mountain."

"Father's love is like a mountain!"
