373 The Four Concubines
Emperor Wen of Wei glanced at them and saw that there was a different brilliance in their eyes. He obviously listened to his words, and couldn't help but feel a little colder in his heart and his eyes became even colder.
Emperor Wen of Wei was completely disappointed with his four sons. Having such a stupid son was simply an insult to him.
Emperor Wen of Wei did not look at them anymore and continued, "Their achievements are not something you can achieve. With your IQ, it is not that I look down on you. It is too far behind. From your eyes, you can know what you want to do now.
I will tell you the truth. The reason why I asked your mother to give birth to you was just because the situation was forced. I don’t want the court officials to attack the queen, saying that she could not tolerate anyone, otherwise how could you be born? I never thought of choosing someone among you to sit in this position, because I have been waiting for the queen, and only the son she gave birth to can be the crown prince.”
After Emperor Wen of Wei finished speaking, the four kings all looked up at Emperor Wen of Wei, their eyes full of disbelief.
The father never thought of passing the throne to them? Why? They are his sons too! They are his own sons! Why can't the throne be passed to them? Why? Why must it be passed to the sons born by the queen? Just because their mothers are not of high origin? But this is not their final say. If he hadn't welcomed their mother into the palace, would they have? After all, it was not his reason!
The four kings were dissatisfied and wanted to say something, but Emperor Wen of Wei waved his hand to interrupt.
"I know you are not convinced, and I will hold it in my mind no matter how stupid you are, because it is my intention."
The four kings looked at him in shock again, and Emperor Wen of Wei glanced at them, "I don't want you to compete with my prince for the throne, so I have never thought of cultivating you well since I was a child, and even let your idiot mother raise you, and raise you even more ignorant.
I originally thought that you were my bloodline at least, and no matter how stupid you were, you wouldn’t be so stupid that you took action before your wings became hard, but unexpectedly, you still couldn’t help it. The first one you brought to the surgery was your cousin.”
Emperor Wen of Wei looked at Luo Rongxuan who was with Gu Yan on the side, with a smile on his face.
"You regard Xuan'er as your mortal enemy because I treat him so well that you mistakenly think that I want to hand over the country to him. But later you find that I have no intention. Xuan'er is a playboy and cannot bear the Great Wei at all, so you relax your vigilance again. It's just that you are jealous of him. This jealousy makes you want to revenge him madly and kill him. So you took action, wanting him to look dead by accident. As for whom you made, you know it yourself, and those who didn't do it also know this, but none of them stood up to tell him to be careful. It shows how narrow your mind is. How can you take over the Great Wei Dynasty like this?
Xuan'er has become better, which makes you very frightened. I understand that you are afraid, but he is your cousin! Have you forgotten how Prince An loved you when you were young? Do you actually bear to hurt his son? Xuan'er is his only son!
It’s fine, Xuan’er is fine, you have been punished, I can turn a blind eye. After all, you are my son. I have to bear a lot of responsibility when you are today, but you shouldn’t have done anything against the queen.
My queen is your legitimate mother, you are killing your mother. Do you know how serious this is? After it is spread, you don’t even have the last chance to ascend the throne.
Can you move my queen? I doubt what is in your mind? Is there only the throne? Is there no family affection? Have you forgotten how the queen treated you? Is it her the person who loves you the most?
What else did your mother give you except to use you again and again? Is there love? Is there family affection? There is nothing, only boundless use, using your prince's identity to seek benefits for them. What's ridiculous is that you still don't know it."
Emperor Wen of Wei breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his four sons who were sweating profusely.
He had long wanted to say these words, but he was a little unbearable before, thinking that it would be good to let them live with some hope. If they like to make trouble, just go to the table. What if they can get ahead? If they have that brain, he is very willing to hand over the throne so that he can also rest.
But now it’s different. They shouldn’t move the queen, and their queen is not something they can do.
The four kings Duan, King Rui, King Kang and King Ning were ashamed, but they also knew that they would not die. The father had only five sons and the fifth brother was still young. Things might not happen in the future. They still have the need to live. At worst, they could lock them in the palace and be confined. They would never have any worries about their lives. They were just a little far away from the throne. Haha, how could they have been close to each other in the years?
The four kings of Duan were still holding a glimmer of hope, that the fifth prince died halfway, and Emperor Wen of Wei had no other sons. By then, Emperor Wen of Wei had to choose one among them to inherit the throne. He would not allow an outsider to seize the kingdom of Wei.
Emperor Wen of Wei was so disappointed that he didn't want to look at them again, and looked up at the four concubines kneeling on the other side.
"Concubine De! You have been sick for twenty years, why haven't you died yet?"
Concubine De was stunned, raised her head in surprise, and looked at Emperor Wen of Wei on the dragon throne.
Emperor Wen of Wei looked straight at Concubine De, "Do you know? In fact, among the four of them, the one who had the most chance to take the throne was King Ning."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked and looked at Emperor Wen of Wei.
The emperor had this idea? He had wanted to hand over the throne to King Ning?
Not to mention the others, even Ning Wang himself was shocked. He looked at Emperor Wen of Wei with emotion regardless of the fierceness and murderous intent of the eyes of Duan and the other two.
The father wanted to pass the throne to him, so he had the chance to take that position.
King Ning was excited and completely forgot the word "Once Upon a Time" mentioned by Emperor Wen of Wei.
Emperor Wen of Wei ignored everyone's eyes, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, and looked at Concubine De again.
Concubine De suddenly looked tight and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Sure enough, Emperor Wen of Wei directly sent her to hell after saying the next words.
"Do you know why I let you enter the palace? During the draft that year, the four of you entered the palace together. You were the worst in the middle and the least outstanding in all aspects. But I still let you in because you are in poor health and may die at any time. As long as you die, I will have more time to accompany my queen.
Another point is that if you can give birth to a prince and the prince is healthy, I will consider letting this prince be raised in the name of the queen after you die and become the right-hand man of the prince. Even if the queen has never given birth to a prince, I will consider letting your King Ning inherit the throne.
But the queen has never been pregnant, and your King Ning has grown up slowly and has become more and more thoughtful. You are still alive. This has made all my original plans fail and made King Ning become farther and farther away from the throne.
Concubine De, you said, if you had known today, would you die for your son?”
Concubine De made Emperor Wen of Wei dizzy with his words. She never expected that the reason why she was selected to the palace was because of her poor health. If this were not the case, she would not even have the qualifications to enter the palace. Her Ning King was once only a step away from that position, but because she was alive, he was unable to reach that position.
Emperor Wen of Wei's fatal blow on Concubine De made her vomit blood and fainted. King Ning was so scared that he hugged Concubine De and shouted that someone would call the imperial physician.
Emperor Wen of Wei was unmoved. He didn't say anything and no one dared to call the imperial physician. Everyone in the audience had to pretend that they didn't see it and listened to Emperor Wen of Wei continue to murmuring to himself.
"What I value most is this filial piety. Concubine De will not raise a son, but this has taught you very well. How great it would be if you could be with the queen. At least one day you will sit on the throne, your brother will not have any worries about his life."
Emperor Wen of Wei closed his eyes and waved his hand and said, "Don't call, your mother can't live today. If she dares to attack the queen, she will not want to live again. It is her luck to be alive until now, and it is also her disaster."
King Ning cried in tears and begged Emperor Wen of Wei.
"Father, I know that I am wrong, I know that I am wrong. Please, please save my mother. No matter what, she has been with you for more than 20 years. You can save her because she has been serving you carefully for so many years. I am willing to be punished on behalf of my mother and save you."
King Ning knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Wen of Wei, but Emperor Wen of Wei pretended that he didn't see it and waved to him, "The decision I made will not change, she will die."
Seeing that Emperor Wen of Wei did not give up, King Ning crawled towards Empress Dowager Jin again, "Grandma, please be kind, save my mother's wife, please, please, please..."
Empress Dowager Jin lowered her head and sighed, feeling unbearable, but she didn't say a word, closed her eyes and twisted the Buddhist beads, and no one paid attention to it.
King Ning couldn't, so he went to ask Empress Feng again. Empress Feng shook his head at him, "I can't do what Yide complained about. There are so many people dead this time, and I will be responsible for them."
King Ning knew that he could no longer ask Queen Feng, so he had to turn around and hug Concubine De and not let go.
He saw that the person who had the most chance to take the throne, his father was lying to him, he was just a fool, otherwise why didn’t he save his mother? Isn’t he the most valued? How could he bear to see him sad?
Emperor Wen of Wei ignored him and looked at the other three concubines.
The three concubines Xian, Liang and Shu trembled all over the moment Emperor Wen of Wei looked over and knelt down in a hurry.
Emperor Wen of Wei looked at Concubine Xian, "Concubine Xian, Concubine De entered the palace because she was in poor health. When you entered the palace, you were attracted by your cleverness, but unexpectedly, I still looked down on you."
After hearing this, Concubine Xian closed her eyes and shed tears silently.
"Your Majesty, you don't look down on me. I'm stupid, otherwise I wouldn't fall in love with you who has no heart.
The emperor gave all his love to the queen, but had to take people into the palace, so the emperor chose us sisters.
Because I am smart enough, I can see that the emperor is deeply affectionate with the queen and will know and be tactful and not disturb you, but I didn’t expect that I am also a person, and I also have love and love, and fell in love with a heartless man.
The Liang Concubine entered the palace because she was the most brainless and easy to master. The Shu Concubine was satisfied with her because of her indifferent attitude towards life, but she didn't expect that we all disappointed you."
Concubine Xian saw through Emperor Wen of Wei. He was preparing to name one by one, explaining why they chose them to enter the palace back then, and then hit them hard, and then attacked them again with the Four Kings to make them regret it and the Four Kings regret it.
He is unkind and I am unrighteous.
The fairy concubine took the initiative and simply told her why Emperor Wen of Wei asked them to enter the palace. Her guess was correct. Emperor Wen of Wei was indeed with this purpose.
Emperor Wen of Wei didn't even look at Liang Concubine and Shu Concubine, and looked straight at Xian Concubine.
"You are right, this is indeed the reason why I chose you to enter the palace."
Emperor Wen of Wei admitted happily, like the last straw that broke the camel's back. In addition to Concubine Xian himself, Concubine Liang and Concubine Shu could no longer hold it back and all sat on the ground in the hall.
"No, this is not true! Why? We did something wrong, why did you do this to us?"
"Your Majesty, are you joking? This is not true, this is not true,..."
Emperor Wen of Wei glanced at Concubine Liang and Concubine Shu, "That's right, it's true. Concubine Liang entered the palace because she was too stupid and easy to control, and Concubine Shu chose you because of your calm temperament. I thought you were not concerned about anything, so I didn't care about me and the queen, but I didn't expect that you still couldn't care about anything, which disappointed me."
Emperor Wen of Wei said it was disappointment, but his eyes did not mean anything disappointed, but instead it was so calm that it made people feel heartbroken.
"This time, the four of you instigated me? Actually, I don't need to ask, because your thoughts are easy to guess, or you know without guessing. Everything you think is written on your face, you will know at a glance.
I can still talk to you here calmly. To be honest, I was very surprised. I thought I would get angry and get sick after I came back. Now it seems that I don’t need to take any more bitter medicine. This also shows that I really don’t have you in my heart. No matter what you are, it has nothing to do with me.
King Duan, King Rui, King Kang, King Ning, no matter how bad you bastards are, they are my biological children, so I will not touch you, just be confined."
Emperor Wen of Wei glanced at the four kings, and when he saw them breathing a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but feel even more disappointed, and then he stopped looking at them.
"The Concubine Xian, the Concubine Liang, the Concubine Shu, and the Concubine De, you four intend to murder the queen, collude with the barbarians and southern Xinjiang to assassinate me, in an attempt to subvert my Great Wei, and their hearts are punished. I think you have made contributions to giving birth to a prince, and their family members do not know about it, so their family members can be exempted from his death penalty, deprived of fame and official position, and give you four each a glass of poisoned wine. Let's go on the road today when sunset."
Emperor Wen of Wei gave them enough time to talk to the four kings, which was also the last bit of grace.
Everyone present was shocked when they heard this and looked up at Emperor Wen of Wei.
Is it death? The emperor actually wants to die!
The four concubines were frightened and couldn't cry anymore. They sat on the ground without saying a word, staring at Emperor Wen of Wei like a fool.
