"Rebelling is... What? Rebellion?" Prince Jiangning almost jumped up.
"How… how can this be? Your Majesty, is there some misunderstanding?" Prince Jiangning was about to cry. Any other matter would have been fine, but they were talking about a rebellion. The crime of rebellion would lead to one losing one's head! The kind where his entire family would be beheaded!
He knew that his son was a little ambitious, but he did not know that his ambition was so big!
"Your Majesty, please forgive him. There must be some misunderstanding. How can he rebel when he only knows how to use the abacus? Your Majesty…"
Xiao Shihang did have the ambition to rebel and had secretly won over some officials. However, he had not taken any substantial steps to initiate the rebellion. Therefore, when he was convicted, he could not really be charged with the crime of rebellion.
