The prime minister knelt there, but he still didn't know what to say.

Cheng Qing propped his head, knowing that it would be difficult for this old man to tell the truth today.

"I warn you not to think about making small gestures. I and countless Secret Guards are staring at you. I think you know that I've always disliked people to deceive me. I also know about the things you did in private, so don't take any chances, thinking that the Queen Mother here will not be able to find out about you. I know all of this. ”

"Your Majesty, the old ministers are already this age, what are you still worried about your position? To put it mildly, even if I sit in your position, how many years will I be able to sit there steadily? My sins are already very heavy, God has even taken away my only daughter, leaving me with a son who is unreasonable, is it really necessary for such an old minister to sit in your place?"

The prime minister lowered his head and stared at the ground deadly, without any intention of raising his head.

Cheng Qing squinted his eyes and looked at the appearance of the prime minister, and he didn't have so much doubt for a while.

After all, this man is also a poor man.

But the information he got was definitely not fake, it could only show that the prime minister really didn't know, and the person who was really doing those things was.......

"If that's the case, then you can tell me about it a long time ago, Prime Minister. You also know that I am a very suspicious person, and you have done too many things that make me suspicious, so that I have to doubt......."

"Yes, the old minister understands. ”

"Don't kneel there, it's cold there, your old man is so old, I feel distressed when I kneel. ”

Cheng Qing paused, seeing that the prime minister had no intention of moving.

"Get up. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

The prime minister got up and looked at Cheng Qing. There was no expression on his face, just a pair of eyes that were a little red.

"Don't say it, I never thought you would do such a thing. In my opinion, Cheng is much more loyal to me than Taifu. I have heard about the affairs of your older generation, but in these things, I rarely hear about the prime minister, and I don't know if you really have no stain on you, prime minister, or if you are all hidden......."

"Your Majesty, you're too worried. Over the years, Lao Chen has assisted you with peace of mind to complete the promise of Lao Chen to the first emperor, so that in the future, Lao Chen can go down and explain to the first emperor......."

"Such a loyal prime minister, I just doubted you so much, I really shouldn't have been. ”

"Don't say that......."

The prime minister raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Qing. The eyes of the two met in the air, and for a moment, the prime minister looked away, "Your Majesty, the focus now should be on the rebellion outside." As far as the minister knows, such a scale and such a force will definitely not be able to rely on a queen mother who has been under house arrest for so many years, and even if there is a prince at that time, she will not be able to control such a large military power......"

"Did I tell you a while ago? This is not the ability of the Queen Mother alone. It was her old man who joined forces with the bunnies of the Moon Kingdom in order to bring me down, otherwise why do you think she chose to rebel yesterday, the day when I held an annual banquet for foreign guests and relatives......"

"Then....are those people from the Moon Kingdom still in the palace......?"

"Of course it's still in the palace,"

Cheng Qing propped his head, looking a little tired, "It's just that they went to the prison first." ”

"It's, what's going on......."

"Didn't I just find a left and right hand? He's even more efficient than my brother. ”

That's right, at yesterday's banquet, Qu Ziyan, disguised as a native of the Western Regions, arrested all the foreign guests at the banquet in one fell swoop, and killed the guards of the Yueyue Kingdom without even giving them time to react.

"So, do you already know all this.......?"

"Not so. When do you think I'm going to toast to the foreign guests? When didn't they come to toast me?"

The prime minister understood in an instant.

No wonder, no wonder.

He always felt that everything was going too well.

From the Queen Mother's soldiers rushing into the palace, such a huge number of people, no matter what, they will not be able to enter so easily.

There are also those secret guards who have disappeared inexplicably, and those guards who are very loosely guarded.

Each link, which made him feel very strange, now seems to have an answer one by one.

"Then the reason why you are so risky is ......."

"Naturally, it's about saving the next person,"

Cheng Qing changed his hand and comfortably supported himself, "I know what the situation of my body is compared to you." I can't live long, in this world, I think that the person who can sit in this position, in addition to the one in Concubine Li's belly, there is also my brother......."

"In order to save His Majesty King Rui, are you willing to take such a risk? In case, in case General Ghost Face didn't come at that time, in case at that time, Qu Ziyan didn't take down the people of the Moon Kingdom in one fell swoop, you, have you thought about your own consequences?"

"That's the difference between dying early and dying late,"

Cheng Qing sighed, leaning on the dragon chair, his face full of tiredness, "I have long been disgusted with this body, I don't know how many years I can last if I continue like this, I don't know if I die early and die later." Even if the Queen Mother succeeds, in the end, this woman will still give up the throne to her son, of course, provided that she is not so mad as to kill her own son......."

"You know it, you know that His Majesty King Rui loves this country the most. How could he allow his queen mother to harm the country......"

The prime minister looked at Cheng Qing, who looked tired, and suddenly felt that this game of chess was not good, and he played it well from the beginning.

It's a very clever game of chess.

"Yes, if it weren't for the fact that he was the King of Rui and my favorite brother, how could I be willing to take this risk.............?

Sometimes, a casual decision made by a person may become a foreshadowing after a certain amount of time.

That day, when Cheng Qing decided to play this big game of chess, he had already thought that this foreshadowing might turn into a catastrophe for him in the future.

As it turned out, he not only failed to escape this catastrophe, but also came early.

"I calculated everything, but I didn't calculate it, this kid is moving to sacrifice his own ideas......"

What he didn't expect was that the woman he thought would stay in Zichong Palace because of guilt for the rest of his life also appeared, and even got involved in the matter and stirred up the situation together.

He only played half of his chess right, and the other half, no one could guess what would happen, it was an unknown.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks, you should find a safe place to hide now, the situation outside is really not optimistic......"
