"Xuan, Prince Sima Yunxuan"

Sima Yunxuan entered the main hall and saluted.

Sima Shao said, "What happened to the prince?"

In fact, his words were indeed nonsense, because when he saw the edict in Sima Yunxuan's hand, he should know why Sima Yunxuan came.

Sima Yunxuan raised the edict in his hand and said, "Erchen has come to ask my father to take back his order."

Sima Shao's face turned pale, and he said, "Take back your order, do you want to take back the order to let you be killed, or do you take back the order to kill Zhang Qianzhi?"

Sima Yunxuan said, "Please take it back from your father"

Sima Shao suddenly slapped the case and shouted, "Bold!"

Sima Yunxuan immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Father and the emperor are angry, and the son only feels that Zhang Qianzhi's crime is not to death."

Sima Shao said, "Sin is not to death?"

Sima Yunxuan said, "He just has a personal grudge with Zhang Qianzhong, it's not a big deal, and he won't die if he disturbs the ceremony, not to mention that he has been loyal to his father for many years, and his merits outweigh his faults, so his sons think that he is not guilty to death."

Sima Shao sneered, "According to what you say, it is also wrong for me to take Zhang Qianzhong's military power?"

Sima Yunxuan didn't speak, and if he didn't speak, it was tantamount to acquiescence.

Sima Shao said slowly, "Prince, when will you be able to interfere with my thoughts?"

Sima Yunxuan's head pressed even lower, and said, "Father, the son doesn't dare."

Sima Shao said sharply: "Don't dare? Why don't you dare now? Isn't it true that you are not afraid that I will send you to prison and be convicted?"

Sima Yunxuan gritted his teeth and said word by word, "If that's the case, Erchen will have to intercede for the two old ministers even more at this moment."

Sima Shao said, "I don't understand, why are you coming against me for them?"

Sima Yunxuan said, "My father is famous, and my sons don't want to affect my father's reputation because of this incident."

Sima Shao said, "I know what you mean, but in the same way, I am your father, you are also my son, everything I do today is for you."

Sima Yunxuan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Erchen doesn't understand"

Sima Shao sighed and said, "In the future, you will understand my good intentions."

Sima Yunxuan said, "But now ......"

Sima Shao interrupted him, "Now, you will honestly go to the prison for me."

Sima Yunxuan suddenly stood up, stared at Sima Shao, and said, "Father really refuses to give in?"

Sima Shao said, "When did the matter I decided change?"

Sima Yunxuan said, "That...... What if the son disobeys?"

Sima Shao stood up, stared at Sima Yunxuan, and said slowly, "Are you threatening me?"

Sima Yunxuan didn't open his mouth this time, he didn't open his mouth, it was just a tacit acquiescence.

Sima Shao was very surprised, this was the first time in decades that Sima Yunxuan had openly opposed him, and he not only felt that his face was colorless, but he also felt humiliated in his heart.

He will always be the emperor on high above, as long as he sits on the throne for one day, he will have supreme power, and no one can disobey him, let alone threaten him.

Now that his son is threatening him, Sima Shao only felt a rush of blood, his face turned purple, and he said angrily, "You actually dare to threaten me, you must know that you are only the prince, and I am the emperor." As long as you are not on this throne, you do not have the right to speak to me like this."

Sima Yunxuan trembled a little by his roar, he fixed his mind, and said, "If the father really forces his son to take the order, then prepare a prison cell for his son."

He turned to leave.

Sima Shao didn't stop him and let him leave. He stared at Sima Yunxuan, his eyes were full of disappointment and sadness, he pinned all his hopes on this son, but now his hopes were facing destruction.

Sima Yunxuan didn't look back, he learned today that his father was no longer his father, but the emperor. An emperor who is carried away by power and desperate.

After Sima Yunxuan left, Lin Hongyue walked out from behind the pillar again.

He heard the quarrel between the two fathers and sons, and he also knew that Sima Shao must be in a bad mood, but he was not afraid.

Lin Hongyue said, "Prince, is this going against the emperor?"

Sima Shao said, "He has grown up"

Lin Hongyue said, "Your Majesty, you are really embattled now"

Sima Shao said, "What do you mean?"

Lin Hongyue said, "The prince has made his position clear that he will fight the emperor to the end, and the Zhang brothers will definitely stand on the prince's side for their own interests."

Sima Shao said, "Just him?"

Lin Hongyue said, "Your Majesty, you also said that the prince has grown up, and he now has absolute prestige among the people."

Sima Shao said, "I underestimated him"

Lin Hongyue said with a smile, "The prince has prestige, and the emperor should be happy"

Sima Shao sneered, "Why?"

Lin Hongyue said, "The emperor's world will be the prince's world in the future, the prince has prestige, and the country can prosper, isn't this something to be thankful about?"

Sima Shao suddenly became silent, he was thinking, how long is the "future" that Lin Hongyue said? Is it that the next moment, the person sitting on the dragon chair is no longer himself?

What a sad thing it would be to see the power in your hands taken away from you.

Lin Hongyue said with a smile, "What do the grass people know what the emperor is thinking? Now that the overall situation is clear, on the prince's side, there are the Zhang family brothers, Muchen and others, they have a lot of prestige in the people, the court, or the rivers and lakes, and the prince is the future son of heaven, even if he fights with the emperor now, it is not too much." But on the emperor's side, there is only a group of ministers whose hearts are fluctuating and expelling with interests, and the two are compared with each other, and the victory or defeat is self-evident."

Sima Shao said, "What should I do?" He had already pinned his hopes on Lin Hongyue, because he knew that if Lin Hongyue was willing to say such a big thing to him, there must be a solution, otherwise he would never dare to mock himself here.

Lin Hongyue said, "It's not difficult to solve the problem, you just need to find a helper."

Sima Shao said, "What is the helper that Mr. is referring to?"

Lin Hongyue said, "It's the grass people themselves"

Sima Shao said, "Mr. is willing to help me?"

Lin Hongyue stretched out her hand, bent down, and saluted, "The grass people only ask, and the emperor is willing to go with them."

Sima Shao did not speak, and not speaking often represented acquiescence.

When Sima Yunxuan returned to the Prince's Mansion, it was already evening, but everyone had not rested and were waiting for him to come back.

When Bian Xiaofeng saw him, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"

Everyone looked at him as if they were expecting it.

Sima Yunxuan shook his head and sighed, "Not only did my father not agree, but he also wanted to condemn me."

The crowd sighed.

Mu Chen said, "Since that's the case, then let's find a way, Mr. Zhang, you can go back first."

Zhang Qianli saluted, and then left the prince's mansion.

Seeing Zhang Qianli leaving, Mu Chen said again, "Second brother and third brother, you come with me"

Sima Yunxuan told Mu Chen and Bian Xiaofeng about the conversation between the two people.

Bian Xiaofeng said, "Third brother, you are confused, how can you have a conflict with the emperor at this time?"

Sima Yunxuan smiled bitterly, "I don't know, I may have been too excited at the time, so I said the wrong thing."

Mu Chen said, "Actually, you can't blame the third brother, because no matter who you are, you can't change the emperor's mind."

Sima Yunxuan said, "Does the eldest brother know anything?"

Mu Chen said, "Your father, this is playing the art of the emperor"

Sima Yunxuan said, "I don't understand, big brother said clearly"

Mu Chen said: "We all know that this incident started when Zhang Qianzhi sent someone to assassinate Zhang Qianzhong, and according to this clue, we found out that it was the emperor's idea to kill Zhang Qianzhong." We thought that the emperor just wanted to kill Zhang Qianzhong and prevent him from being a mercenary, because the matter was revealed, Zhang Qianzhi took all the charges on himself, and in order to seal his mouth, the emperor wanted to kill Zhang Qianzhi"

Bian Xiaofeng said, "Isn't this something we already knew?"

Mu Chen shook his head and said, "We all think of the emperor too narrowly, now that Zhang Qianzhong has been dismissed from the army, Zhang Qianzhi wants to ask about beheading, these two things seem to have nothing to do with each other, but think about it carefully, these two people are eliminated, who benefits the most?"

Bian Xiaofeng said, "Your Majesty?"

Mu Chendao "Not bad"

Sima Yunxuan said, "But why did my father want to get rid of the two?"

Bian Xiaofeng seemed to suddenly understand, and said slowly, "Because of the right," he said to Mu Chen, "I finally understand what the eldest brother meant."

Sima Yunxuan said, "The meaning of the two elder brothers, the younger brother doesn't understand"

Bian Xiaofeng said, "The emperor's real purpose is not to get rid of Zhang Qianzhi and Zhang Qianzhong, his purpose is to weaken the power of the entire Zhang family."

Sima Yunxuan said, "Why?"

Bian Xiaofeng said, "Because the power of the Zhang family is too great, from the prime minister to the six departments, there are all people from the Zhang family, such a force is enough to shake the throne, the emperor is a person who pays attention to power, and now this is the situation, of course he has to find a way to weaken the power of the Zhang family."

Mu Chen said, "The second brother is right, the emperor first sent Zhang Qianzhi to kill Zhang Qianzhong, if he can kill him, he can get rid of Zhang Qianzhong, and if the matter is revealed, he can push the crime on Zhang Qianzhi, two people, no matter which one is convicted, for the emperor, it can be regarded as achieving the goal."

Bian Xiaofeng sighed and said, "Zhang Qianzhi is such a wise man, he can't imagine that he will end up being just a chess piece to be used."

Mu Chen said, "This is the art of the emperor, anyone who threatens his status must be removed, no matter how close the relationship is"

Although Sima Shao is not a wise man, he is definitely a smart man and a hero. Between power and the hearts of the people, he chose rights, which made his rights more arbitrary and of higher status. As everyone knows, what he has lost at the moment is the hearts of the people.
