And this time Jing Hao entered the palace, not voluntarily, but there were big things happening in the Hou Mansion for three days, and they almost killed people, and it was rumored in the capital. It is estimated that in this officialdom, the only one who can make such a sensation in family affairs is Wei Wuhou.

Although the emperor lived in the palace, how could he not know about this kind of thing that the people of the whole capital knew? What's more, he did not pay ordinary attention to Wei Wuhou.

The emperor always pays special attention to those who have the ability to compete with his imperial power.

And Jing Hao's entry into the palace this time was the emperor's summons.

When Jing Hao went, the emperor was waiting for him in the imperial garden, set up the chessboard, and waited for him to come to play.

After the basic etiquette, the two sat opposite each other, each holding a black son and a white character in their hands, and played a game.

"These days, why don't you come to the morning court?" The emperor used this topic to open his mouth, in the end, it still paved the way for what he was going to ask in a while.

Although Jing Hao is young, he is a battle-hardened veteran, and he can see through this kind of conversation skill at a glance.

Jing Hao smiled: "Your Majesty, this is the privilege you gave to your ministers, why are you blaming the ministers now?"

The emperor frowned slightly: "Hey, privilege is privilege, but you occasionally have to go to the court, listen to what major events have happened in the country, whether there is a place where you can still relieve my worries, and other officials in the province are gossiping about you in private." ”

It is one thing to issue a special decree, it is the emperor's affirmation of your merits, but as a courtier, it is another thing to implement it.

How could Jing Hao not understand this truth, but if he didn't do this, how could the emperor call him to the palace, and how could he be "special" concerned about what happened in the Hou Mansion, which recently led to the escalation of the conflict with the Seventh Prince?

The emperor is guarding against the Seventh Prince, and he also knows that the Seventh Princes have always coveted the throne and wants to snatch it back from the emperor's hands.

The emperor is a suspicious person, and he has adopted a strategy of softness and power to suppress Jing Hao's power, and how can the emperor not be wary of Jing Hao, who was the prince at the beginning, but was able to become a prince because of the emperor's methods, and hated his brother?

And the emperor has always wanted to deal with the Seventh Prince, but he couldn't find a breakthrough. What happened to Jing Hao's family is undoubtedly a good breakthrough.

The emperor has always been a treacherous and cunning person, he wants to deal with the Seventh Prince, but he also doesn't want Jing Hao's power to grow stronger. He just wants to profit from it.

The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits. This is the emperor's ultimate goal.

Jing Hao showed a look of indifference: "What they want to say, let them say it, as long as the emperor still trusts me, doesn't feel that I am ashamed of you, let me be this Wei Wuhou, I will enjoy my leisurely life in a down-to-earth manner." As for the rest, I didn't think much of it. ”

can call "me" in front of the emperor, I'm afraid that Jing Hao is the only one. Even the Seventh Prince, in front of the emperor, even if he has hatred and unwillingness in his heart, he will not call "me", but "brother".

This is what Jing Hao chose, to blind everyone's eyes with an appearance that he doesn't care about anything and doesn't care. However, the days without heart and lungs were not as carefree as Jing Hao thought, and such a pretense was just a disguise for him.

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, and he can't relax for a moment. Otherwise, it will become food for their mouths, not only for him, but also for the people he wants to protect now.

The emperor laughed loudly when he heard this, pointed at Jing Hao and said, "You, you, you have really changed a lot." In the past, you fought on the battlefield, how majestic you were, and the enemy was terrified when they heard your name. Look at you now, but you are living an old age life in advance. ”

The emperor is not stupid, he said this, it was nothing more than a test of Jing Hao. Jing Hao has been tempted by the emperor many times, but he is accustomed to such temptations and can deal with them freely.

"I really want to live a leisurely life in advance, as long as the emperor agrees, I will immediately disarm and return to the field, leisurely, and take a tour in the great rivers and mountains, with beautiful women in my arms, wine in hand, and money and money, why not do it." Jing Hao's very picturesque imagination is not just a whim, he really imagines living such a life in the future.

Instead of cheating all day long and living this kind of frightened and frightened life, it is better to live every day comfortably.

It's just that if it weren't for the jackal and the tiger in the past, he knew that even if he gave up his current identity and status in the court, neither the emperor nor the seventh prince would let him go, but he was willing to live a free life, just like what he just described.

When the emperor heard this, he rubbed the chess pieces of the sunspot in his hand, with an inquiring expression on his face, and a smile on the corner of his mouth, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a mask of hypocrisy.

"Jing Hao, your mouth is just not accurate, don't call you to come, no one has relieved my boredom yet, this day is full of heavy official duties, but as soon as I call you to come, I still say some things that have no shadow. There is no second person in the whole country who is such a talent, so how can I let you go? If you leave, who will protect me from this country?"

If you can't try it once, you have to do it a second time?

Jing Hao was amused in his heart, took a sip of tea, stuffed a grape into his mouth, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "Your Majesty, it's a bit of a fuss when you say this, Ningguo is full of talents, so many people with lofty ideals have cut their heads and want to squeeze into the samurai academy to become the pillars of the country. ”

Leaving a son, Jing Hao continued: "So, one more me is not much, and one less me is not a lot." Besides, there are very few wars now, and they are all petty fights, and there is no need for ministers to come out at all. If I really leave, no matter where I am, if the emperor wants to find me, he will definitely be able to find it. At that time, as long as the emperor said a word, I didn't say a word, and immediately rushed back to be sent by the emperor. ”

Officialdom is like a battlefield, and it is more tiring to fight with the emperor than with those enemy soldiers.

In a few words, but you have to consider every word, even if you are relaxed and leisurely, you don't care, you have to pretend to be seven points like a three-point image, and three points are true, so that the tiger on the opposite side can relax its vigilance.

"You kid!" the emperor laughed loudly, "In this court, you are the only one who dares to be as poor as me." ”
