Chapter 945: The Way Back
The study once again sounded gasping business, but this time it was only the emperor and Huang Guozhong, while the crown prince and Xiao Zhang were angry.
The crown prince couldn't help but roar: "Xuanyuan decided that you are talking nonsense, when did this palace have any contact with the Demon Dao?"
Xuanyuan said aggrievedly: "It's not what the minister said, it's Xiao Zhang who said it." ”
"Yes, that's what I said!" Xiao Zhang was furious, but he didn't forget to step on the prince, "But Xuanyuan, I can see clearly that you are a god beast today!
And at this moment, the happiest is Huang Guozhong, his two rivals are in a deep predicament, it would be better if they were taken by the emperor in the end, and he Huang Guozhong would have no opponent in the court at all.
The emperor said coldly: "Xuanyuan decide, don't be affected, you continue!"
Xuanyuan was silent for a moment, and continued: "What the minister thought at the time was that if Deputy Head Xiao wanted to use the appearance of the minister to go to the Demon Dao to do something unfavorable to the Central Plains, then why did he bother to come to the minister to discuss? If he didn't tell the minister, but directly turned into the appearance of the minister to go to the Demon Dao, wouldn't it be more convenient? So the minister guessed that Deputy Head Xiao should not be going to do evil things, so he agreed to him. ”
"Hehe, you only think about people for good. Huang Guozhong smiled faintly, "How do you know that Xiao Zhang is not going to do evil things?"
Xuanyuan decided: "When Xiao Zhang raised this matter, the minister only thought about it for a moment and agreed, but in fact, the minister did not take measures, but gave Xiao Zhang a bright token. The minister told him at the time that this was the minister's identity certificate, and as long as he showed this token when he arrived at the Demon Dao, the people of the Demon Dao would recognize it. In fact, this token has a monitoring function, and if the wearer has malicious intent and does evil things, the token will become black. ”
Xiao Zhang suddenly realized, and immediately scolded: "Okay, you Xuanyuan decided, I said why did you agree so quickly, it turns out that you have a trick!"
"Brother Xiao, please take out that Bright Token. Xuanyuan said with a smile.
Xiao Zhang snorted coldly and took out a bright token from the storage bag, in fact, this was what he got when he was in Xuanyuan Gate, not one, but two, one of which was given to Liang An of Shuxiangyuan, and he still kept one.
I saw that the light token was made of unknown materials, smooth and white, warm as jade, without flaws, and you didn't turn black as Xuanyuan said.
If Xuanyuan decides, this token alone can prove that Xiao Zhang has not done evil.
The eunuch Wei Zhong was very discerning, and immediately stepped forward to take the token in Xiao Zhang's hand and handed it to the emperor. The Emperor took it in his hand and looked at it for a moment, nodded slightly, and at the same time seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Huang Guozhong was not happy, seeing that the cooked duck was flying, how could he stop, so he immediately said: "With only a token, can it prove that Xiao Zhang has not done evil?
Xuanyuan was silent, as if he didn't think there was any need for an explanation.
Sure enough, the next moment, the emperor spoke: "I know that the light token of Xuanyuan Gate does have this function. ”
Huang Guozhong suddenly wilted, although he was very unconvinced, but he had nothing to say.
The emperor then asked: "I only know that this token has the function of distinguishing good from evil, but I don't know that it also has the function of tracking, so can you show what Xiao Zhang has done in the Demon Dao by borrowing your appearance?"
Xuanyuan smiled apologetically and said, "This ...... The minister is dull, and the Bright System Exercises have not yet been cultivated to the extreme, and they have not yet been able to activate their monitoring functions. ”
Xiao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, but the emperor said with some disappointment: "Since it has been proved that Xiao Zhang has no evil deeds, as for what he has done, it is his privacy, and there is no need to explore it." So, let's talk about the prince. ”
When the prince heard this, he jumped suddenly, obviously because he was too nervous.
"Prince, Xiao Zhang said that you have colluded with the Demon Dao, but is there such a thing?" the emperor asked majestically.
The crown prince suddenly sweated wildly, and immediately knelt down and said, "Father...... Your Majesty, there is no such thing! Xiao Zhang's mouth is spewing blood!"
The emperor was expressionless and said: "Since Xiao Zhang said so, he naturally has his reasons, and after he borrowed the identity of Xuanyuan Due, he really succeeded in the Demon Dao for a period of time, let alone what he did, in short, the people of the Demon Dao did recognize Xuanyuan Due's identity." Since the Demon Dao has recognized Xuanyuan Decision's identity, it is also the identity of your prince. ”
Although the emperor's reasoning is far-fetched, it does make sense.
"Your Majesty, it must be that Xuanyuan Jue is colluding with the Demon Dao, and the minister doesn't know anything!" The prince glared at Xuanyuan with annoyance, his eyes were full of murderous intent, he remembered Xiong Jin's words, and regretted that he didn't listen to his advice at the beginning.
After hearing this, the emperor did not say anything, but saw that his face became more and more pale, and he suddenly coughed violently, and his body was bent into a hunchback, looking very painful.
Due to the long-term overdraft, the emperor's body has been weakened, and coupled with today's stimulation, he finally can't hide it.
"Father!" At this time, Lan Xiang, who was sitting next to her without saying a word, struggled to get up and ran towards the emperor, but fell to the ground because she was too weak, but she still tried to crawl forward.
Xiao Zhang immediately rushed up to help Lan Xiang up, but Lan Xiang pushed him away and continued to crawl forward alone, and finally, he climbed up to the emperor, pinched the emperor's trouser leg and swayed and said, "Father, how are you?"
The emperor coughed while motioning Xiao Zhang to help Lan Xiang up, and Xiao Zhang did not hesitate, forcibly picked Lan Xiang up and put her back in the chair.
This scene can only be described as touching.
However, Huang Guozhong's eyes were shining, he seemed to see something, and a smile gradually rose on the corner of his mouth.
Finally, the emperor stopped coughing, he looked at Xuanyuan Due, gasped and said, "You go on. ”
Xuanyuan Jue continued: "As far as the minister knows, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does have some dealings with the Demon Dao, but His Royal Highness is here to better understand the Demon Dao and thus better defeat the Demon Dao. ”
The emperor sneered: "Can you see it?"
Xuanyuan decided: "Your Highness also has a bright token on his body, as long as the token does not turn black, it proves that His Highness has not done evil." ”
Hearing this, the prince immediately trembled and flipped up from the storage bag, and it took a long time to find a bright token, and when he took it out, he saw that it was smooth and round, and spotless. He immediately shouted excitedly: "Clean, the token is clean, this palace has not done anything evil!"
The Emperor finally nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, let's stop here for today." As he spoke, he looked at Xuanyuan with a deep meaning in his eyes.
Xuanyuan nodded slightly in response. Because, only the two of them know that the so-called token can know good and evil, in fact, it is nonsense, and the cooperation between the two is to open a back road for the prince and Xiao Zhang.
