Chapter 206: Severing the Crown Prince's Arm and Sendin

slightest. Because she knew, as long as she was still useful to the masked man and as long as the masked man hadn't ordered them to kill her, these people wouldn't dare to make a move!She was now fro..."Of course not." Mok Yunren quickly shook his head and slowly explained, "Father naturally couldn't directly kill his eldest brother at this time. Killing his elder brother would probably backfire and lead to the fifth brother really turning against Father."

The emperor had completely lost his patience, his face darkened as he said, "Just say it, what do you want me to do"

Mo Yunren narrowed his eyes slightly, "Father, perhaps it would be better to send my elder brother's severed arm to the Northern Border"

"!"

Those in the court looked at each other, puzzled by his words.

To cut off the prince's arm first is no different from killing him.

I have to say, the Second Prince's move was ruthless, solving the problem that had been weighing on his mind.

The emperor's throne can only be occupied by someone without physical defects. Now, the second prince proposes that the eldest prince's arm be cut off. This means that regardless of whether the emperor will recover consciousness or change his attitude towards the eldest prince in the future, the eldest prince has already lost his qualification to ascend to the throne

This Second Prince is indeed a ruthless character. He either does nothing at all, or he goes all out!

The emperor gazed at his second son with a knowing look. He had already intended to elevate Mo Yunren to the position of crown prince, and now, hearing his suggestion, he felt even more that his second son bore his likeness.

Had he not been worried that he too would become like that Mo Yunchen, he would have most likely already named him Crown Prince.

After Mo Yunren finished speaking, seeing that the emperor did not speak, he pursed his lips and deliberately put on a look of apprehension, cautiously saying, "Father, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not just hoping that my elder brother will be..."

"Need I say more!" the emperor interrupted him coldly, then turned to the Minister of Punishment:

"Do as the Second Prince said, go and chop off that bastard's arm and send it to the Northern Border. Tell Mo Yunjing, if he fails to understand his place, next time I will send...the heads of both Mo Yunchen and his son!"

The Minister of Punishment twitched his lips, he wanted to say something but the Minister of Rites tugged at the corner of his clothes, stopping him from contradicting the Emperor's order.

The Minister of Justice didn't know what he was thinking, but after hesitating, he still took the order!

Mo Yunren lowered his head, a smug smile playing on the corner of his lips.

And this scene was seen by the Minister of Rites.

After court, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Punishment went to a tavern, avoiding the crowds.

As soon as the two entered, Minister of Justice Zhou You couldn't wait to speak, "Why didn't you let me speak just now If the Emperor had really chopped off the Crown Prince's arm, this matter would have been impossible to resolve!"

"Minister of Rites, Jiang Rongwen spoke with a mixture of helplessness and pity, "What do you think Even if you speak up to stop him, what can you do Don't forget our current emperor is capricious. He is still furious today. If you dare to contradict him, he could have you executed on the spot! Don't you understand this"

The current emperor, to say he is incompetent and ineffective would be an understatement. Not only that, but he is also cruel and tyrannical. He cannot tolerate any dissenting voices, which they all know.

Because so many upright and honest officials in the imperial court have already died for expressing viewpoints different from the emperor's.

So, for a long time now, there hasn't been any dissent against the Emperor's pronouncements in court.

Zhou You sighed, "Is it really necessary to cut off the prince's arm The emperor is underestimating General Wu Wang far too much. Once the prince's arm is cut off, the relationship between the emperor and General Wu Wang will be irreparably broken, and a rebellion by General Wu Wang will only be a matter of time."

Jiang Rongwen shook his head slightly, "This isn't something that you and I should worry about. Right now, preserving ourselves is the top priority."

Zhou You pursed his lips, how could he protect himself Once he ordered the cutting off of the crown prince's arm, how could the Fifth Prince let him go

He is truly tired, and sometimes he really wants to retire and go back home.

> It's mainly those in the court who don't think carefully. At this critical juncture, with enemy troops attacking, having the Fifth Prince stationed in the northern border gives them some reason to be wary. But if they were to dispose of the Fifth Prince now, wouldn't that be helping the enemy destroy their own prestige

Most importantly, the entire nation couldn't find a war god like the Fifth Prince. Only he had the ability to defeat the enemy army. Have they ever thought about what would happen if they angered the Fifth Prince

Zhou You and Jiang Rongwen chatted for a while, but they still couldn't figure out what was going on. In the end, they could only do as the emperor commanded.

Mo Yunren went to the death row himself and watched as Mo Yunchen's arm was cut off!

When Jiang Rongwen returned home, he locked himself in his study. His son, Jiang Qingyang, soon came to inquire, "Father, you don't seem very happy today. Did something happen"

Ginger Rongwen looked at him thoughtfully, hesitated for a moment before letting him sit down. "Qingyang, tell your father the truth, how close are you to the Fifth Prince"

Jiang Qingyang's heart skipped a beat, but she still said calmly on the surface, "Father, what are you talking about What Five Prince How could I possibly have any dealings with the Five Prince"

Jiang Rongwen smiled wryly, "You're my son, do you think I wouldn't know what you've been doing all these years"

"...."

Although he was his father, due to their differing political stances, Jiang Qingyang did not readily admit it. He smiled and said, "Dad, don't joke around. What could I possibly have done these past few years"

Jiang Rongwen stood up, he slowly turned around and walked to the writing desk. "Qingyang, the sky is probably going to change, no matter what you do, be careful."

"!"

Both father and son were clever people, although they didn't state it explicitly, Jiang Qingyang could understand. His expression changed, just as he was about to ask something, Jiang Rongwen spoke again, "The Emperor has decreed that the crown prince's arm be cut off and sent to Beijiang."

"!"

Jiang Qingyang jumped up and ran out without looking back.yang looked at Xiao Qin in disbelief, clearly truly not expecting Xiao Qin to have such an attitude.He pursed his lips, and the two stared at each other for a long while. Jiang Qingyang finally soften...
