Chapter 508: Murderous Intent
Emperor Hui Chong's eyes softened, and he looked at Wei Zhao and said, "What's your name?"
"Zhao. ”
Wei Zhao replied.
"You have been living abroad for nearly twenty years, and you have suffered a lot, can you complain?"
After asking this sentence, Emperor Hui Chongdi stared at Wei Zhao's eyes for a moment, trying to distinguish the truth of Wei Zhao's emotions.
"There's nothing to grudge. ”
Wei Zhao's voice was calm, and he said slowly: "In this life, no matter how you live, you will live. It is the Wei family who conceals my identity, and it is the King of Jin who deceives me and hides that I want to kill me, even if you want to complain, you can't complain. On the contrary, it is you, who are above all men, and you are still deceived, and you are more pitiful than me. ”
This can be regarded as disloyalty and unfilial piety, Emperor Hui Chong has been on the throne for more than 20 years, and no one has ever pointed at his nose and said "pitiful".
At the moment, this Wei Zhao is the first.
However, whether it was Emperor Hui Chong or Lu Yun or Old Lady Tang, they didn't react angrily to Wei Zhao's faux pas, as if they had listened to a family routine, and they didn't move.
After a while, Emperor Hui Chong smiled, didn't care about any pity or not, but said: "Zhao, you are too angry, according to me, Fengzi is more suitable for you." ”
After that, he seemed to be extremely satisfied with Wei Zhao, and he didn't ask anymore, but called a shadow guard to come in and let him lead Wei Zhao down.
This shadow guard is silent, and it is thought that he is one of the twelve dragon guards of Emperor Hui Chong.
Let the Twelve Dragon Guards take Wei Zhao down, so that they agree with his meaning.
Lu Yun, who was the next leader, didn't say anything, but he was secretly relieved in his heart.
When Wei Zhao left, there were only three monarchs and ministers left in the room.
Emperor Hui Chong looked at Old Lady Tang with a look of humility on his face.
"I haven't seen Taifu for many years, and Taifu is still so energetic. ”
Mrs. Tang is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he does not admire Rongli in his life, but Emperor Hui Chong treats him with sincere courtesy.
"I'm old! I look strong on the outside, but I can't do it on the inside. ”
Old Mrs. Tang waved her hand, and her voice trembled.
The two chatted for a while, and Emperor Hui Chong began to ask about Wei Zhao's knowledge.
As for Wei Zhao's life experience, on the afternoon after Lu Yun fooled the prince, when he entered the palace to confess everything to Emperor Hui Chong, he had already made it clear.
Not only Wei Zhao's life experience, but also Su Cheng's identity, Lu Yun did not leak it, and all of them were explained clearly.
Only then did Emperor Hui Chong know that the prince of King Cheng had been lurking in the Jingshi, and in his impression, the honest King of Jin had planned everything from a few years ago.
Regarding the cooperation between Su Cheng and King Jin, what Lu Yun said to the prince, Lu Yun explained everything clearly.
He knows that things are important, and no matter where they are not handled, they will be a matter of losing their heads.
And after Emperor Hui Chong heard his method of fooling the prince, he didn't object, and he also had the idea of making a mistake.
Lu Yun didn't know what his intentions were, was it to test the prince and see if he really had benevolence, so he did this on purpose?
Obviously, he was wrong, for Emperor Hui Chong, King Cheng and the Wei family were two taboos that could not be touched, and now Su Cheng and King Jin who were related to it were actually linked, which he couldn't bear.
Completely uprooting the power of King Cheng and the Wei family is particularly important to Emperor Hui Chong, even if he wants to use the four princes as bait, he doesn't care.
It's just that he didn't expect the prince to be so uncompetitive, obviously reminded by Lu Yun, but he still ignored the death of the fourth prince in frenzy.
This was Lu Yun's negligence, and it was also Emperor Huichong's negligence.
Lu Yun was negligent in believing in the prince's benevolence too much, while Emperor Hui Chong was negligent in underestimating the prince's hatred for the four princes.
Mrs. Tang did everything in detail, and told Wei Zhao what she had taught Wei Zhao in the past few years.
"Wei Zhao has a solid knowledge, and after going up the mountain, I carefully taught him according to the rule of the emperor, so now his knowledge and scheming are sufficient, but he has less contact with people, and he is simple, and he needs to exercise more to undertake great things. ”
Regarding Emperor Hui Chong's idea of valuing Wei Zhao and wanting to choose him as his heir, Old Lady Tang did not hide it at all, and said it directly.
Emperor Hui Chong nodded, already having a plan in his heart.
He turned his head to look at Lu Yun and asked, "Where is the prince, are you keeping an eye on it?"
Lu Yun raised his head and arched his hand, and replied, "Four top spies have been sent over, and everything is in order." ”
"That's good. ”
Emperor Hui Chong nodded, "That Su Cheng is only more than twenty years old, but he has stretched out his hand so long in just a few years, it can be seen that there is a lot of reliance behind him, it is not enough to kill him alone, to cut the grass to eradicate the roots, we must find out the forces behind him, otherwise year after year, I can't wait for his next generation to make a comeback." ”
"Wechen must be staring carefully. ”
"Hmm. Emperor Hui Chong closed his eyes and nodded, chatted with the two of them for a few more words, and then waved his hand and ordered them to go down.
When the two of them left, and only Emperor Hui Chong was left in the room, Mr. Zhikui walked out as usual.
Now he has nothing to worry about, he has stayed in this palace of diligence all the year round, and he has long been integrated with it, and Emperor Hui Chong has never hidden confidential matters from him.
"Your Majesty has decided?"
Mr. Zhikui sat in the position that Old Lady Tang had just done, looked up at Emperor Hui Chong and asked.
"It's decided. ”
Emperor Hui Chong said: "For so many years, the prince has been raised by me, but he is too unsuccessful, and he has disappointed me again and again, and this time he is so blatantly ignoring the death of the little four, confused and cold-blooded......"
If the emperor is cold-blooded, then it's nothing, the emperor's mental tricks, sometimes what you want is this kind of ruthlessness.
But if he doesn't distinguish between right and wrong and resigns himself to the words of others, how can Emperor Hui Chong rest assured that the country will be handed over to him?
Although the matter of Nanfeng Pavilion was unintentionally promoted, it also became a test stone.
As for the King of Jin, he was bent on avenging the Wei family, but Emperor Hui Chong never considered him, let alone in the future.
On the contrary, Wei Zhao, who has just met, is smart and calm-hearted, and he is a good candidate.
It's just that we've not been together for a long time, and it's too early to draw conclusions, so we have to observe it for a while.
Mr. Zhikui nodded and said, "Then where is the Lu family......"
"The Lu family, one of the four institutes is enough to form a big disaster, and it should have been taken back a long time ago, as for Lu Yun's ......"
Emperor Hui Chongdi's fingers tapped on the table and habitually tapped on it.
Again and again, the listeners panicked.
"I have been very fond of him all these years, and if it weren't for his background, he would have entered the cabinet a long time ago. As for the relationship with Xie Feng, from saving Xie Feng to escorting Xie Feng to Yuluo Mountain, everything has the participation of the Lu family's father and son, and they have become enemies with kindness, if they are not controlled, this Lu Yun is likely to become the next Gao Zhuo! Since it is to be cleaned up, it should be cleaned up. ”
Speaking of this, Emperor Hui Chong narrowed his eyes, with full coldness, and his words decided the life and death of a person.
Mr. Zhikui nodded, agreeing with Emperor Hui Chong's concerns.
The Lu family is an old family, with a stable foundation, Lu Yun carries kindness, if Emperor Hui Chong goes, he is likely to rise to prominence and become an existence that is even more awesome than Gao Zhuo.
This is something that the emperor will never tolerate.
"Not to mention ......"
Emperor Hui Chong sighed leisurely, "There must be someone responsible for the death of Xiaosi." ”
