Chapter 274: Summoned by the Night
Sima Rui is the most swayable person among the princes. When the crown prince was in www.biquge.info early years, he was the only one who had contact with all the princes. Although it's just a relationship that isn't salty or light.
But when you meet it, you always give a smile, don't you?
Now that the prince has lost power, he is quite unpopular even with him. I'm afraid that getting closer will lead to death.
Sima Rui didn't care about these at all. I slowly began to think about it in my heart.
Among the remaining princes, except for the scheming Seven Princes, the Five Princes who don't know how to be flexible can be put on the table. Others are either mediocre or disabled.
Who is more noble than whom?
The position of the crown prince, others do it, and he will do it!
Now that he looks at it, only Sima Yan has some foundation, but according to his brutal and cold-blooded temperament, if he wants to come to his father's wisdom, he will definitely not choose him to inherit the unification.
As for Sima Lie, that is Elm Pimple, a martial artist. Now he has been demoted to the king of the county, and there is no competitiveness at all.
Sima Rui rubbed the wine glass in his hand, raised his head and drank it all. He turned his head and asked, "Let you pay attention to that Lin Jue, is there any news?" ”
The guard knelt down in panic and replied: "Returning to Your Highness, this person seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and his subordinates have activated all the dark lines in the capital, but they have not been able to find any clues. ”
Sima Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, he had reminded the former prince earlier, although this Lin Jue is talented, he is just a talented person in this world, where can he be driven by others with peace of mind?
Sure enough, Lin Jue had insight into the opportunity, and the golden cicada came out of its shell early and slipped away.
Sima Rui originally wanted to take it back and use it, but now it will disappear. As long as such a counsellor does not become his enemy, let him be.
Sima Chu has been feeling more and more mentally poor recently. Earlier, I was not tired of batching a batch of folds every day for seven or eight hours. Now I've only watched it for two hours, and I'm dizzy.
Gonggong Li saw Sima Chu put down his fold and rubbed his eyebrows. So I took advantage of the gap to serve a cup of almond tea. stepped forward again to rub his eyebrows for Sima Chu, and laughed softly: "The hour is not early, if Your Majesty is tired, it is better to rest early." ”
Sima Chu snorted, but didn't get up. Except for the occasional beep from the stove, the room was silent.
"Go and ask the Fifth Highness to come over." Sima Chu stretched out his hand and handed over a gold-inlaid jade waist card.
Gonggong Li asked suspiciously, even his voice was slightly higher, more shrill, and said, "Now?" ”
Sima Chu nodded and said, "Now." ”
Gonggong Li hurriedly followed the waist card, thinking that the palace gate had been given the key at this time, but His Majesty wanted to summon the Fifth Highness, thinking that he didn't want others to know. In order to be safe, it's better to run this old bone yourself.
The Five Princes' Mansions, no more than other princes' mansions, pavilions, water pavilions, and promenades, have a rather affectionate layout. In addition to the residence, the entire Five Princes' Mansion has designed several martial arts arenas. With a bit of spaciousness, solemn meaning.
Through the dim light, you can see Sima Lie holding a spear in the martial arts arena, his expression is calm, and the tiger and tiger of a spear martial arts are vigorous, moving and flying, and the snow is splashing everywhere. One after another, in the dark night, it seemed like real snow.
The old butler carried the lantern and trotted to the front and shouted, "Your Highness, there is a father-in-law in the palace." It is said that there is a message from His Majesty. The old slave arranged for his father-in-law to drink tea in the side hall, so you can freshen up and go to receive the order. ”
When Sima Lie arrived at the side hall, he was really surprised to see that the person who came was Gonggong Li. He arched his hand and said: "The subordinates are clumsy, and they didn't recognize Gonggong Li, and the king is sluggish." ”
Gonggong Li smiled and waved his hand: "Your Highness, you are too polite. ”
Gonggong Li can be said to be a slave who has followed his father for a lifetime. It was even more revealed that he actually worked and his old man came in person, thinking that there must be something important to explain.
"I don't know what my father-in-law came to come at night?" Sima Lie asked.
Gonggong Li cleared his throat and said, "By Your Majesty's command, Sima Lie, the fifth prince of Xuan, will immediately enter the palace to meet you." ”
Sima Lie knelt to receive the order, and after hearing the will, he raised his eyes suspiciously and asked, "Now?" ”
Gonggong Li said with a smile: "Even if the old slave is given ten lives, the slave will not dare to falsely pass on the holy decree." ”
As he spoke, he made another gesture of please, "Fifth Highness, please." ”
The dim Yongxiang seems to be a long road with no end in sight, and at the end of the road is a dormant beast. The wind in the cold night, whimpering, seems to be the cry of the ghosts who have died unjustly in the imperial city for many years.
For Sima Lie, he couldn't talk about family affection for Sima Chu, and he remembered that he was no better than the passers-by.
"The son of the emperor greets his father." Sima Lie saluted respectfully. He couldn't figure out Sima Chu's intentions, so he could only take one step at a time.
"You're here. Speed to fast. Sima Chu raised his eyes and looked at Sima Lie, who was tall and jade.
"My father summoned him, and his sons came urgently." Sima Lie replied.
"Do you know what I summoned you to the palace overnight?" Sima Chu asked.
Sima Lie still lowered his eyes, "The holy will of the father, how can the sons and daughters guess it." I don't know. ”
Sima Chu looked straight at Sima Lie with his eyes, and the Sima Lie in front of him was respectful and cautious. What is the difference with the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty? Although it is said that in the three outlines and five constants, the monarch is the minister. But in the end, it is different, he is not only a courtier, but also his son.
Sima Chu's palm slapped heavily on the arm of the chair, and Sima Lie raised his eyes when he heard the sound and met Sima Chu's sharp gaze.
"Tell me honestly, have you ever missed my throne." Sima Chu asked in a deep voice.
When Sima Lie heard this, he was horrified, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Father Emperor Mingjian." Erchen's qualifications are blunt and he doesn't dare to covet them. Besides, the father is in the spring and autumn period, if the son has this heart, it will not be a rebellion. Erchen never dared. ”
Sima Chu looked at Sima Lie's fickle appearance, and secretly said that his son seemed to be a martial artist, and his mind was keen.
Sima Chu's voice softened and said, "You don't have to be so panicked. The body of the father and emperor knows by himself, and the country cannot be without a king for a day, and now the East Palace is unresolved, and it also has a lot of influence on the government. ”
"There are no kings and ministers tonight, only fathers and sons. Father asked you, do you really have no thoughts about the throne? ”
Sima Lie was stunned, unable to tell which of Sima Chu's words was sincere and which was a temptation, so he replied sideways: "It is the first thing to want to come to the position of the prince and establish a virtuous person." The father has his own hills and ravines in his chest. Erchen did not dare to make a judgment. ”
Sima Chu smiled bitterly, even if he lowered his posture so much, Sima Lie was still wary of him in the end.
The emperor's family has been a ruthless place since ancient times.
"Kneel down." Sima Chu sighed lightly and said in a low voice.
Sima Lie is really at a loss for the second monk, is this night summoning just to find himself to say a few words? I carefully pondered whether there was anything wrong with the response just now, but I couldn't figure it out after thinking about it.
"Old thing, do you think I'm making this decision for his good or for him?" Sima Chu muttered, as if asking Gonggong Li and answering himself.
Gonggong Li helped Sima Chu to get up and rest, and said, "The adopted son is a hundred years old, and he is ninety-nine years old. His Majesty's painstaking efforts can be understood by the princes. ”
Through the heavy curtains, the light was dim. Sima Chu seemed to be asleep, and when he didn't wake up, he dreamed of Duanmu Xiu'er again, she was still the same as when she first saw her, looking back at him and smiling.
