Chapter 321 Human Nature (1)
The Crown Princess misunderstood Duke Zhen.The prince's words were not entirely true, so he kept them hidden.Although Zhen Guogong does want to rebel, he does not want to rebel now.

He only knew that King Jin was plotting rebellion.This is where things get interesting.He told the prince, "Let's not take action first. Let's force King Jin to take action first."

The prince became excited when he heard this, "Is this news true?"

The Duke of Zhen nodded.He rarely communicated with the prince in the past. Seeing that he was as easy to coax as a child, he smiled and said: "Yes, I dare to protect you with my life. This matter is absolutely true, and I have evidence."

The prince wanted to hand it over to the emperor and then kill King Jin.

He also wanted the emperor to kill King Jin.He said: "It's funny. In the past, when my father wanted to suppress me, he always acted very affectionate in front of King Jin. Whenever they were intimate, I would envy him. Later I figured out that my father did it on purpose. From what I can see, Prince Jin is actually nothing in his heart."

But he still hated King Jin.He said, "If nothing else, he was the one who killed Lan Shi. If he didn't torture Lan Shi, how could Lan Shi die so early."

The prince gritted his teeth when he said this, and Duke Zhen discovered that he really hated King Jin, but he didn't hate himself that much.Why is this?

Is it hidden?
The prince does not have this city.The Duke of Zhen thought for a moment and realized that the prince might have truly believed what he said: His Majesty had ordered everything.

That's a great thing.

Duke Zhen Guo made a serious look and said: "Hey, King Jin... is also pitiful. I am not afraid that His Highness will be angry. This is what I really think in my heart. King Jin is a chess piece and is used by Your Majesty to deal with you. He only has Rebellion is the way to go.”

After hearing this, the prince felt that what he said was right.Moreover, if King Jin is like this, why is he not the same?
The Duke of Zhenguo said: "So, after King Jin rebelled, His Majesty must have been weak for a period of time. There were omissions everywhere in the city defense. At that time, it might be the time for Your Highness to make meritorious deeds."

He did not directly instigate the prince to rebel, but said: "Your Highness, King Jin is dead at that time, and your Majesty has no reason to make things difficult for you anymore."

"Furthermore, His Majesty has lost a rebellious son. At this time, you being there to fulfill your filial piety can also make him feel more happy."

The prince said: "My father-in-law is overthinking this. If King Jin dies and I serve as a filial piety by his side, my father will only think that I am happy and proud. He will throw the teapot down without hesitation." On my face, my whole life...no matter what I do, it is wrong."

The Duke of Zhen Guo frowned and said, "What should we do? Your Majesty intends to depose you. Is it true that..."

The prince looked at Duke Zhen, "If I retire, will my father-in-law be happy?"

The Duke of Zheng shook his head and said, "To tell you the truth, my heart is indeed not with Your Highness. I believe in Your Majesty. This is why Your Majesty is willing to believe in me and leave everything to me."

"But His Highness is my son-in-law. If you step back, Ahri is only a little older. What if Ahri has an accident?"

"If anything happens to Ah Li, Prince Jin's son will take advantage..."

Even if the Duke of Zhenguo didn't say anything about what happened next, the prince would understand.

Duke Zhenguo said: "I thought that as long as the King of Jin rebels, Your Majesty will feel sorry for His Highness, but His Highness just said that I have no choice."

"After all...hey."

The prince thought, there is still a way.

As long as the father is dead and he sits on the throne, there is nothing he can do.

why?Because he won't be like his father.I will not be an emperor like my father.

He will treat Ah Li and Ah Wu well, and he will become a good emperor who will not be suspicious of his ministers or his son.

As soon as he had this idea, he couldn't stand still, walked around the house, and then began to instigate rebellion against the Duke of Zhen.He said: "Mother Ying, my father will not believe you, and in the end he will make you a broken knife."

The Duke of Zhen knew that he had taken the bait.

You two test me, and I test you, so the Duke of Zhen asked the prince to "persuade".

The prince did not think that the Duke of Zhen would inform the emperor because he had a daughter named Ying Niang and the Duke of Zhen and his family needed to be protected.He said, "My father wants to kill you. I didn't say this, but Yingniang said it. It's just whether he kills you before me or after me."

The Duke of Zhen was silent. He told the prince that he actually knew his ending.Because he knew from the moment he saw Sui Boying's end.

He said affectionately: "A sword that serves the emperor is the emperor's lackey. Those that serve as ministers make swords and dogs. As long as the emperor is happy, we are happy. But both the emperor and the common people are still human beings."

"We are human beings, we have feelings and hearts. We, Boying and I, have feelings for His Majesty. We are not just knives, we are dogs. We also want to be people that His Majesty can see."

He cried even when he got to the emotional point. The prince quickly handed over the handkerchief. The Duke of Zhen wiped his tears and said desolately: "Your Majesty wants to kill Boying. I can understand."

"Back then, when Boying was still a minor official, he was supported by His Majesty. His Majesty always thought that without him, Boying would not be able to become a Tutor. He believed in Boying, but Boying wanted to go against his will, so, Boying deserves to die. And there is Tangxi. She was the one that His Majesty was happy with, but then no one got her, so it was nothing. But she actually had a child with Boying. At that time, His Majesty was very angry."

Duke Zhenguo: "Boying should have known that His Majesty would be angry, so he had been hiding the two of them. But there is no airtight place in the world, let alone in Kyoto, so Your Majesty still knows. If you know, then I made up my mind to kill Boying."

The prince hammered the table angrily, "Father, you are so cruel."

Duke Zhenguo: "Hey, when I helped His Majesty back then, I had no choice but to stand on His Majesty's side. However, I was clearly helping His Majesty, and Your Majesty was willing to help me hide it at this moment. But why do you still want to kill me? I betrayed Boying for him——"

He burst into tears, "Boying and I are also brothers, but His Majesty is the emperor. If you want me to die, I have to die. I have no way, and neither does Boying. We met once in prison for the last time, and Boying saw I show up there and he gets it.”

"He knew what His Majesty meant."

The prince also cried when he heard this, "How sad the prince must have been at that time."

Duke Zhenguo murmured, "Yes, he must have been very sad at the time. The people he trusted the most betrayed him, and they all wanted him to die, but he had to die."

Zhenguo Gong said: "Your Highness, now, if Your Majesty wants me to die, I have to die. If Your Majesty wants you to die, even if you are the crown prince, you have to die."

"Your Majesty is getting old and suspicious. He wants us all to die. Today it is you and me, but tomorrow it will be Yingniang and Ahli Awu?"

The prince became more determined to rebel.This was not the first time he had this idea, but it was the first time he told Duke Zhen Guo about this idea.

But he didn't dare tell Ying Niang.

He could only say to Yingniang, "You hate the Duke of Zhen for killing the Taifu. Why don't you hate the father? He was the instigator of everything."
