Chapter 392.4: Great Cause, Getting Overlooked?

The Former Wei first prince revealed a bit of helplessness, “This older brother knows that fifth brother doesn’t like me, so I won’t say anything more, properly recuperate.” However, he didn’t say anything like ‘this older brother will definitely seek justice for fifth brother’.

The Former Wei fifth prince was pissed, having the imperial physicians driven out as well, letting them go prepared the medicine. The others were also treated as such, just leaving behind the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Appointments. “Sir Hu, why accept Qi Yuan’s imperial physicians?”

That Sir Hu appeared to be around forty, his beard still not having a single strand of white. Lightly sighing, “Your Highness, this place isn’t Great Wei, and first prince further has more power here. Moreover, because of your relationship with his Highness, the crown prince, towards you, first prince has hated along with. What the situation is like for the imperial physicians we brought along, we don’t really know. Even if they appear to be our people, behind our backs, they still could have been bribed. If by chance at this time, they were to do a bit of something, letting your Highness to just…………..”

“He dares!” The Former Wei fifth prince’s expression turned malevolent, a pair of tiger eyes filled with killing intent.

“Your Highness, the person that injured you is someone from Qi Yuan. First prince can just kill with a borrowed knife. Moreover, Great Wei and Qi Yuan’s relationship, we are both very clear about. If first prince really has this thought, and you really meet with mishap, he completely can just put on a sorrowful look, while seizing the opportunity to rise against Qi Yuan. Once this matter passes on back home, even if his Majesty has suspicions, he still won’t look into, only firmly clinging onto Qi Yuan and not letting go. Your Highness, think about it, do you think his Majesty will, for the sake of a dead son, go look into another son’s fault, or will he borrow this son’s death to ruthlessly tear down a piece of flesh from Qi Yuan?”

The Former Wei fifth prince didn’t say a word, because he was very clear how his imperial father will choose.

“His Majesty has ambitions towards Qi Yuan, even more so than the past emperors. If first prince can achieve results in this aspect, he won’t be blamed, instead getting praised. Towards this bit, his Highness the crown prince is also very clear. That’s why, his Highness the crown prince will also insert a foot in this matter, appearing even more sorrowful, loudly voicing for a crusade against Qi Yuan, and won’t go look into the truth of this matter.

The Former Wei fifth prince heavily breathed, “Elder brother crown prince, elder brother crown prince…………”

“Fifth prince, don’t say something like his Highness the crown prince won’t do something like this. If the first prince were to attain achievements, winning his Majesty’s favor, for the crown prince to continue going against the first prince, he will undoubtedly incur his Majesty’s loathing. Does fifth prince believe that his Highness the crown prince will do this kind of thing? Does fifth prince think that your life and death, in his Highness the crown prince’s heart, would be more important than his Majesty’s favor?”

It won’t! The Former Wei fifth prince was very clear, when not in conflict with his interest, he will be his best younger brother, and will also indulge him in every way possible, giving him whatever he wanted. Even if causing trouble, he will also unhesitantly help him clean up the mess. But, if it touches upon his interest, especially in regards to the throne, perhaps the crown prince will personally end him.

“If the first prince schemes against you, and you from then on just lose your life, his Highness the crown prince perhaps will be glad to see this, having an excuse to rise against Qi Yuan, and afterwards, perhaps can even use this matter to take down the first prince. Your consort mother, and your biological maternal grandmother, as well as the force behind your maternal grandmother, all will be grateful towards his Highness the crown prince, and become increasingly loyal towards him.”

(T/N: The fifth prince’s consort mother is a shu daughter, so his biological maternal grandmother is a concubine.)

“So, my life and death all will be thoroughly utilized?” Shortly after, his gaze sharpened towards this Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Appointments, Sir Hu. “You’re elder brother crown prince’s person.”

“Your Highness, to put it more precisely, this subject is your consort mother’s person, and the one this subject wants to serve and assist is you.”

The Former Wei fifth prince was endlessly shocked. In his words, he even heard something that made one frighten yet also made one’s entire soul tremble. “Assist……..”

Sir Hu was just like as if he didn’t hear, “Your Highness, you should know, Great Wei’s imperial clan has always had prejudice towards other ethnic groups.”

“It’s not like you have foreign blood in you.” The Former Wei fifth prince coldly mocked.

“Fifth prince is wrong, I not only have foreign blood, my father is even a pureblood foreigner.”

The Former Wei fifth prince was in disbelief, “How can that be……..”

“There’s a long story behind this. My current father is not my father, but rather the killer of my father. If not for the fact that I mostly look like my mother, and don’t have the traits of a foreigner, perhaps I would’ve long died, along with my mother. Great Wei had conquered the north to expand its territory. This cannot be criticized. For the sake of the country’s stability, they assimilated the different tribes, but in their bones, they nevertheless shunned the foreigners, believing themselves to be superior. Even if having the same qualifications, the original people of Great Wei were further likely to be put in an important position, while those that carried foreign blood, even if having abilities that surpassed the mass, will undoubtedly have to put in countless times more effort. Even so, one all may not necessarily be able to compete with the original people of Great Wei. Your Highness, do you know, this subject very much hates, and also very unwilling to conceded, really, unwilling to concede. If the one to ascend the throne is your Highness, then this kind of situation will thoroughly alter. We’re not changing the dynasty either, instead just letting Great Wei no longer have the distinction between the original people of Great Wei and those of different ethnicities, all becoming people of Great Wei, letting even more capable people better serve Great Wei, letting Great Wei become even stronger, even achieving unification.” As he said this, his eyes revealed an extremely passionate ray of light.

And the Former Wei fifth prince, very obviously, also got deeply drawn in by the image he painted. Those feelings of discontent, those grievances, those resentments, also emerged entirely. Indeed, why can’t he become the emperor. Why must he be suppressed by the crown prince, getting ordered around by him? What’s wrong with foreign blood, could it be that they aren’t people of Great Wei? If he became the emperor, changing Great Wei’s detrimental structure, he will definitely be able to lead Great Wei into becoming unprecedentedly strong. He will also become a great emperor throughout the ages. In this moment, this blood-thirsty and cruel Former Wei fifth prince’s ambition also thoroughly awoken. “Sir Hu will continuously help this prince, right?”

“Naturally so. Moreover, those officials that possess foreign blood will all stand on fifth prince’s side.” Deliberately handing over his life story as leverage, naturally was for the sake of better winning the other party’s trust.

The Former Wei fifth prince’s heart increasingly burned, “Sir Hu accepting Qi Yuan’s imperial physicians, is it because they not only can impede the imperial physicians we brought, making them not dare do anything underhanded, but also will do everything they can to treat this prince. After all, they definitely don’t want anything to happen to this prince. Getting injured and dying are two completely different things.”

“Your Highness is wise. Just, your Highness’s conduct today truly is somewhat improper. In the past, because of having no choice, thus would let others mistakenly think that your Highness is somewhat reckless and not that reliable, but we all know, your Highness was merely doing this for the sake of better preserving oneself, deliberately acting as such. Your Highness actually has a ravine in one’s heart, possessing great skills and strategies. In the future, your Highness doesn’t need to continue being like this. Appropriately appearing a little more steady and reliable will be even more beneficial.”

The Former Wei fifth prince was somewhat feeling guilty. Those really were just his true nature, and not deliberately putting on an act. However, as ruler, one certainly can’t be like this. That’s why, he admitted to being misunderstood, “Since you all know, then this prince naturally won’t continue letting you all be disappointed.”

Sir Hu revealed a look of feeling honored, “This subject will tell them, following your Highness definitely is the right decision.”

The Former Wei fifth prince let out a naturally so expression, “This matter, does consort mother know?”

“Naturally knows, her Highness Xian Consort, for your Highness’s sake, has strategized considerably.”

This time, the Former Wei fifth prince further believed firmly without any doubts.
