Chapter 486 Identity
After the second prince finished speaking, he saw that the emperor was unmoved.
The second prince was deeply moved. He was worthy of being the father. He could remain calm and composed in such a big event. I am really not suitable for the throne!
I was so panicked at that time!
"Also, father, I heard from these people that they were watching the wind, waiting for a person named Ping Wang in Kyoto to send out news, but I think there is something wrong with this statement. Who is so bold as to name himself Ping Wang and still live in Kyoto! I guess this person is called Wang Ping. Father, please let someone check it out."
The second prince spoke his analysis seriously and felt that it made a lot of sense.
The emperor looked at him melancholy, and for a moment he didn't know whether to praise him or scold him.
Finally, he could only wave his hand, "Okay, go see your mother. You've been traveling for so long, your mother misses you!"
The second prince immediately said, "I miss my father and mother too. I brought a lot of mountain products this time. I'll wait for my father to finish his work and come over to taste them. I'll go prepare them first."
After the second prince finished speaking, he turned to Zhou Huaishan and said, "I've asked someone to send some to your house."
Zhou Huaishan chuckled, "Thank you for your concern!"
The second prince waved his hand, "It's a small matter. Shen Li is my benefactor! The kind of great favor that I need to thank his family for many times."
The emperor held his forehead and said, "Let's go!"
As soon as the second prince left, the atmosphere in the room finally returned to the main line.
Zhou Huaishan raised his eyebrows and glanced at the person on the ground, then looked at Prince Ping with a fake smile.
"Watching the wind? Waiting for a message? What you mean is that if you, Prince Ping, encounter any danger in Kyoto, these people will immediately send a message back to Nanzhao Kingdom, right?
Now that he has been arrested, does that mean that you may be in danger!"
While saying this, he twisted his neck and ankles, crossed his fingers and rubbed his wrists, making a crackling sound.
Ping Wang's drooping hands squeezed tightly, and his trembling eyes showed his inner anger and great fear at the moment.
The emperor glanced at him and ordered the eunuch chief steward, "Take him down for interrogation!"
The eunuch chief steward immediately ordered people to take the five lumps on the ground away.
The emperor said to Ping Wang: "I'm afraid the interrogation results will not come out for a while, do you want to change clothes first?"
The voice was flat, but with a chill that was hard to ignore.
Zhou Huaishan took over the words, "I don't think it's necessary. Anyway, whether you change or not, it's the same when you enter the cell of the shadow!"
Ping Wang turned his head and looked at Zhou Huaishan, his eyes were bloodshot with anger, "How dare you! This king is from Nanzhao."
The old monk of Dafo Temple flicked the wide sleeves of his cassock and interrupted Ping Wang directly.
"You have said this many times, but you never said that you are still the mastermind of the epidemic poisoning in this dynasty. What's the matter? Do you really think that we will really turn a blind eye to you when you do such a conscienceless thing?"
Yun Qingbo followed and said: "Well, there were people who looked out for you before, but now there are none. Catching you is as easy as catching a chicken!"
Qingyang Hou said: "Your Majesty, just catch it!"
These people, you say one thing and I say another, the meaning is clear, just want to test whether Ping Wang has arranged other spies, but looking at Ping Wang's desperate look, there must be no more.
If he had a backup plan, he wouldn't be like this now.
How could he allow himself to be tortured!
The prince slammed the table, and the anger that had been suppressed for twenty years burst out at once, "Catch him!"
As soon as the word "catch him" came out, there was no time for others to take action. The Huaishan Gang members rushed towards King Ping like crazy beasts.
He had been holding back his anger for a long time!
Instead of taking the man into the shadows, Gao Li brought people directly over and tortured him on the spot in the side hall of the imperial study.
The emperor and the Huaishan Gang members were watching from the side.
Zhou Huaishan sat on a large chair, his fists clenched unconsciously. He had thought of countless scenes of knowing the truth of the year, but he never thought that the truth would come so suddenly.
He thought that he would have to wait for another five or six days until the Northwest Army set out to a safe distance.
But now, he was about to know the truth of the year.
The trembling in his heart made his shoulders and calves tremble constantly. When his wife gave birth to a child, he didn't tremble so badly even when he was guarding outside.
The old monk from the Big Buddha Temple sat on Zhou Huaishan's left side and gently put his arm around his shoulder, unable to offer any words of comfort.
Yun Qingbo and Qingyang Hou interlocked their fingers at some point, and their breathing became a little unstable due to the tension. Their eyes were fixed on the interrogated Prince Ping in front of them, and the veins on their necks were obvious due to the emotional agitation in their hearts.
Wang Jin stood behind Zhou Huaishan, biting his mouth and chewing his thumb.
Twenty years!
Twenty years!
Prince Ping knew that once he fell into the hands of the shadow, he would not be able to get out alive.
The emperor should either not catch him or kill him directly!
Now, he could no longer care about the entire royal family of Nanzhao. The harsh torture instruments made him live a life worse than death.
It lasted for about an hour and a half, and Prince Ping confessed everything when he was dying.
"Marquis Rongyang, he is not the biological son of the old Marquis Rongyang. He, he is the only son of the former crown prince of my Nanzhao."
As soon as these words came out, the whole room was shocked.
Zhou Huaishan stood up in shock.
"who I am?"
King Ping was tortured and unconscious at this time, and did not realize that Zhou Huaishan's words were wrong, "The former crown prince was the favorite son of the late emperor, he..."
The emperor could not help but stand up, "The former crown prince of Nanzhao, wasn't that you? That year you had a sudden heart attack and your life was in danger, so the throne of the king was..."
King Ping's mouth was bleeding, and he shook his head weakly, "I am not, I am only the crown prince in name, but in my father's mind, the crown prince will always be that person, and we are all that person's foil.
It is because the former crown prince's body is really Because I was too weak and had to rest to prolong my life, my father had no choice but to give me the title of crown prince.
Just because I was the youngest and most incompetent among the brothers.
I was only six years old at that time!
My father just wanted to wait until that person recovered and could smoothly take over the position of crown prince from me!
Why!
We are all my father's sons, why must it be his!
God has opened his eyes, he died after all!
He should have died long ago! "
Speaking of this, the hatred in King Ping's eyes was so strong that it was hot, and he fell into a state of madness.
He was originally on the verge of death, but suddenly he sat up, with his hair disheveled and laughing up to the sky.
"My father waited for him all his life, but he died!
He died three days before my father died!
What a ridiculous three days before!
If he dies, I will be the real prince!
I can ascend the throne smoothly!
I know myself well. I don't have the ability to hold on to this throne, but my brother does!
I had a sudden heart attack and couldn't ascend the throne, so my brother ascended the throne and succeeded me!
This was originally the most perfect ending, but someone told me that as early as when I was six years old, the first year that the former prince was recuperating from illness, my father secretly gave birth to the former crown princess. 's son, secretly handed it over to Rongyang Hou of your dynasty!
Also delivered was a token that could command the three armies of my Nanzhao Kingdom!
Why!
On what basis!
I have been sitting in this position of prince like a puppet for nearly forty years!
Have you ever seen a prince over forty years old!
My father, that old thing, lived to be over ninety years old in order to leave the throne to him!
Have you ever seen such a long-lived emperor! "
Emperor
Although the atmosphere is not appropriate now, I feel offended by Yisisi!
