These words suddenly seemed to be like touching cold water, which made the third young master of the Sima family, who was still in a state of excitement, instantly sober up.

But even so, he still wouldn't believe that a person from a reckless background could have such ability and courage.

Immediately, he turned his head and looked at the six princes beside him, pointed at Dongfang Shuo and said: "Sixth Highness, this guy is afraid that he is crazy, he wants to tear his face with the Sima family, he is simply crazy, hurry, take him down!"

Even now, in his cognition, the six princes are all nobles like him, so they should be the ones who stand on the same side.

It's a pity that his judgment was wrong.

The sixth prince let out a long sigh and said, "So far, have you not repented?"

When the words fell, he had already raised his hand and waved.

Immediately, the two eunuchs set up the third young master again and walked in the direction of the palace gate.

And looking at the Sixth Prince, who was getting farther and farther away, the Third Young Master's eyes gradually filled with a look of disbelief, and it was only after a moment that he finally reacted.

It was also at this moment, as if a thunderbolt fell on him, making his whole face instantly pale.

"Six, Your Highness Six, I didn't lie, he really disrespects His Majesty!"

He shouted hysterically.

But the two eunuchs on his left and right had no intention of stopping.

And the six princes, after hearing these words, shook their heads and turned their backs resolutely.

Looking at the back of the sixth prince, and then at Dongfang Shuo's cold gaze, despair permeated the face and heart of the third young master in just a few breaths.

After a while, the third young master's breathing was affected, and suddenly, he rolled his eyes and fainted directly.

It can be seen that its psychological endurance is fragile, and it is simply vulnerable.

"I really can't imagine that if the foundation of the empire is put in the hands of such a person, even if it is only the smallest power, I am afraid that there will be unimaginable consequences. ”

Dongfang Shuo muttered softly, and then withdrew his gaze from looking at the third young master.

Then, he looked at the six princes nearby.

"Thousands of calculations, I didn't count that you would come forward. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

"I've said many times that our interests are the same, you hate this kind of person, I hate it too, you want to change this rule, I want to change it too. The Sixth Prince said.

But before he finished speaking, Dongfang Shuo had already shook his head.

It wasn't until the Six Princes finished speaking that Dongfang Shuo immediately said: "But I also told you that our ultimate goals are different, and I agree with some of the ambitions in your heart, but I also oppose some of them. ”

At this time, the sixth prince turned his back and faced Dongfang Shuo with a calm face.

"There is no 100% agreement between two people's ideals and ambitions, only two people with similar ideas working together and running in with each other. ”

The Sixth Prince said.

Dongfang Shuo sank his gaze and was silent for a long time.

Then, he turned and walked in the direction of the stairs, with the Six Princes following him.

It wasn't until Dongfang Shuo stepped up the stairs that he finally spoke: "As I said, for Su He's death, I will let you repay it for the rest of your life." ”

"It's a pleasure to hear. ”

The six princes who followed behind.

Dongfang Shuo's footsteps suddenly paused at this moment.

He turned his head slightly and said, "You'll regret it." ”

With that, he walked on, and quickened his pace.

However, the sixth prince stood in place with his head bowed for a long time, until he couldn't hear Dongfang Shuo's footsteps, and then he finally looked up in the direction of the palace gate.

"If you think I'll regret it, it means you still don't know me. ”

The six princes smiled.

After laughing, he continued to walk up the stairs.

For the next two days, there were frequent mourners inside and outside the imperial city.

It was not until the early morning of the fourth day of the emperor's funeral that the five princes came out of the coffin and went to the emperor's mausoleum.

As for Dongfang Shuo, it remained in the imperial city.

Although there is no emperor, whether it is an imperial city or an empire, it cannot be stopped for even a day.

In addition, Dongfang Shuo will also stay to prepare for the enthronement ceremony.

However, the world still does not know about the candidate for the throne, and Dongfang Shuo just released the news, saying that the emperor left an edict before his death.

But whether there is an edict or not, Dongfang Shuo knows best in his heart.

And the reason why he wanted to lie that there was an edict was not to forge it, but to stabilize the situation.

But that's not enough.

Because there will always be a day when lies will be exposed, and now that the emperor has gone to the imperial tomb, everything is about to end, and tomorrow when the princes come back, the new emperor must also have a conclusion.

Candidates, of course, Dongfang Shuo has already thought about it.

Before the emperor died, he had already told the emperor who the candidate was.

It's just that everything needs to be justified, and this is especially true when the new emperor ascends the throne.

It is not enough to have both ability and political integrity, but also to the will of the people.

And the day of the emperor's funeral is also Dongfang Shuo's best opportunity.

After briefly colliding with the daily affairs in the imperial city to ensure that the imperial city can operate normally today, he rushed straight to the palace gate.

Outside the palace gate, Luo Yang, who received the news of Dongfang Shuo in advance, had been waiting for a long time.

"Please come with me. ”

So, Luo Yang led the way.

Dongfang Shuo nodded and followed behind him.

In addition to Luo Yang walking in front to lead the way, there were several eunuchs following behind, which was also the common etiquette of the palace.

"Are you familiar with Jian'an?"

In silence, Dongfang Shuo suddenly spoke.

Luo Yang turned his head slightly and said, "It should be regarded as an old man, or it can be said to be a brother." ”

Dongfang Shuo smiled: "As soon as we meet, we will fight directly, such a brother seems to have a lot of stories." ”

"Sort of. ”

Luo Yang did not deny it.

Then, Dongfang Shuo asked, "Then you should know Jian'an very well, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"What about Ji Zhaoning, how much do you know about her?"

"That's what you're really asking, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Your answer is crisp and neat, but I'm going to disappoint you, Jian An and I are old friends, but Miss Ji is not, and even the number of official meetings between me and Miss Ji is only a handful. I don't know much about her. ”

"Also, after all, you are also a palace guard, and you can't have much intersection with the outside of the palace. ”

Dongfang Shuo nodded thoughtfully.

But then, he asked again: "Then Jian'an and Ji Zhaoning, how did they meet, you should always know this, right?"

"Because of a man, it should be considered an opportunity. ”

Luo Yang smiled.

Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment: "A man?"

At this moment, he remembered the 'old man' who was often mentioned by Ji Zhaoning, who was also a man.

Could it be because of that old man?

But Dongfang Shuo just wanted to ask a question, but Luo Yang in front of him suddenly stopped.

"It's here. ”
