Chapter 610, The Imperial Throne
Gonggong Hai obviously didn't expect such a situation, and before he could speak, Mu Yunjin actually said everything he had to say. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There was a moment of stunned expression, and he didn't know how to answer for a long time, Gonggong Hai's eyebrows and eyes lowered slightly, and he looked at Mu Yunjin's extremely sad expression shallowly, sighed deeply, and did not speak.
Mu Yunjin put his hands in his hands and put them on the table, clutching the ground, his head hanging down, and he couldn't distinguish his expression.
Come over tonight, Gonggong Hai also intended to tell him about the emperor's affairs, and planned to ventilate with him about the affairs of the court tomorrow, so as not to have any accidents.
After a pause, Gonggong Hai's hand subconsciously touched the warm tea cup, and coughed twice: "Fourth prince...... Condolences. ”
In any case, Mu Yunjin is the emperor's son and his closest relative.
Mu Yunjin's head was still hanging deeply, and he only saw the extremely sad light on his side face, and he couldn't distinguish the color in his eyes.
"If I had noticed earlier...... Father's ...... It won't be like this...... It won't be......" The voice was low and fell, Mu Yunjin's head hung lower and lower, and when he listened carefully, he even had a trace of crying.
Gonggong Hai was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what to say the words of consolation, and there was a moment of silence, Gonggong Hai's expression was calm, and he still spoke: "The fourth prince...... Since the emperor has died, he will ...... Send him off well...... We still have to look forward. ”
When the words came out, even Grandpa Hai himself didn't believe what he said.
The grief was in the bottom of his heart, in his body, in every corner around him, and it was almost devouring him.
With a deep sigh, Mu Yunjin raised his head and looked at Father-in-law Hai, the crying in his voice became more and more obvious, and his eyes were also stained with tears.
"Now that my father is gone, my mother is imprisoned, and my third brother is also imprisoned. As a son, I have to deal with my father's funeral. ”
"This matter, I implore Gonggong Hai to hand it over to Yunjin and handle it himself. It's good to do this last bit of filial piety of Yunjin. ”
At the end of the words, Mu Yunjin's voice was already a little broken, and his body also stood up, and he made a heavy bow to Gonggong Hai.
Gonggong Hai was shocked, and he also got up in a hurry, and hurriedly helped Mu Yunjin to get up: "The four princes can't help it!" ”
"Actually, the old slave came so late, in addition to the emperor's affairs, there are other things to tell the four princes."
After all, I have to say it, but Hai Gonggong still decided to say it.
Mu Yunjin's body slowly straightened up, with a shallow light in his eyes, he looked at Gonggong Hai, his hands were still supported by Gonggong Hai, and his expression gradually became normal.
Gonggong Hai's brows were deeply condensed, looking at Mu Yunjin's extraordinarily delicate and indifferent face, and his voice was vicissitudes: "Before the emperor was alive, he had already left a secret decree. ”
Mu Yunjin's hand, in an instant, had been taken back from Gonggong Hai's hand.
Gonggong Hai didn't notice Mu Yunjin's movements, and there was an unclear light in his eyes: "Tomorrow morning, the four princes will also be present together, and the prince will read out the secret decree." ”
"The fourth prince is the next emperor of the Ting Yuan Kingdom."
When the words Emperor Ting Yuanguo came out of the mouth of Gong Hai, Mu Yunjin's gaze obviously flickered for a moment, and then glanced over and looked away.
After a moment of silence, Mu Yunjin's body seemed to sit down again with a tiredness, and shook his head heavily: "Now that my father has not been buried, how can Yunjin respond to such a thing?" ”
Gonggong Hai's mind sank again, and a thousand thoughts swirled in his mind for a while, and then he was relieved again.
The temperament of the fourth prince was indifferent and elegant, and now that such a thing has happened, his reaction is understandable.
Taking a deep breath, Gonggong Hai also sat down, his brows furrowed deeply, and his words were deep: "Fourth prince, the old slave can understand your current mood, but the country cannot be without a king, since it is the emperor's will, then it should be obeyed." ”
As he spoke, Gonggong Hai's hand was raised and patted on Mu Yunjin's shoulder, full of a kind of consolation from the elders to the juniors.
Mu Yunjin's face was full of sorrow, his brows were furrowed tightly, and he didn't want to say more than half a word.
Patting Mu Yunjin's shoulder again, Gonggong Hai sighed deeply, and also did not continue.
With a lowered eye, his hand had already touched the tea cup placed in front of him, and he didn't hesitate to pick it up and drink it.
"Grandpa Hai,"
In an instant, Mu Yunjin, who had been hanging his head, suddenly made a sound, raised his hand, and pressed Father-in-law Hai's hand holding the teacup, "The tea is already cold, and it hurts your body if you drink it." ”
Gonggong Hai didn't expect Mu Yunjin to make such a move, he looked at the tea in surprise, and then looked at Mu Yunjin, and the vicissitudes of life smiled: "It's okay, I'm an old bone, don't get in the way." ”
As he spoke, he raised his teacup and drank water again.
Mu Yunjin's gaze flashed with a hint of sharpness in an instant, and he immediately regained his calm, but the movement in his hand was a force, and he pressed Gonggong Hai's hand down again, and his clear voice was raised: "Send a pot of hot tea in." ”
"Yes."
Outside, a small servant soon answered.
The surprise in Hai Gonggong's eyes became even more obvious: "This ......"
Before he could say a word in doubt, Mu Yunjin's words interrupted him: "Tomorrow, Yunjin will go to the early dynasty." ”
Ting Yuan's national law stipulates that if you are not a courtier who has a position in the court, even if it is a prince, you are not allowed to go to the early court.
Except...... The crown prince who wants to inherit the throne.
As soon as he heard Mu Yunjin's words, all the thoughts beside Gonggong Hai dissipated, and he put down the teacup at once, and his thin and wrinkled hand held Mu Yunjin's hand tightly, and there was a tremor in his voice: "Okay, good!" Good! ”
Anyway, since the Four Princes are the emperor's choice of emperors, it would be best if he could ascend to the throne as soon as possible!
However, after these two sentences, someone knocked on the door outside, and before the people inside could respond, the little maid had already pushed open the door, and entered the side hall with hot tea.
Put down the new tea, and then remove all the previous tea, the little maid's movements were very fast, but after a moment's effort, he turned around again and left the side hall.
Mu Yunjin's hand was grabbed by Father-in-law Hai, and he felt the coldness of the old man's palm, so he gently took it off, poured a cup of hot tea, and sent it to Father-in-law Hai: "Father-in-law drinks tea." If Yunjin sits on the throne, there will be many things that he does not understand and are inappropriate, and he still needs more advice from his father-in-law. ”
The smile on the corner of Father-in-law Hai's mouth opened, his eyes were full of relief, and he took the tea in Mu Yunjin's hand with a relieved expression.
From this point of view, an elegant and polite person like the fourth prince is the real person who can sit on the throne!
At this moment, Gonggong Hai no longer had any doubts about the secret decree in his heart. Come to think of it, it's really my old age, so I'm mistaken.
