Yan Xu and his entourage secretly returned to Yicheng in April, when he set out on the expedition, Yicheng was still in the harsh winter, three months passed in the blink of an eye, and when he came back, it was already full of smoke and willows. However, he didn't bother to look at the □□ of the city at all, and hurriedly entered the Rui Wang's Mansion through the side door.

In the twilight, King Rui's study had not yet been lit, and there was silence. When Yan Xu came in, he was standing with his hands in his hands, looking at a genuine handiwork of the first emperor on the wall.

Yan Xu knelt down to say goodbye, but King Rui didn't hear it, and he didn't open his mouth to let him get up. Yan Xu knelt like that, until someone came in and lit the lamp, and the room lit up in vain, and King Rui said in a deep voice, "Anyway, what is so important that you, the boss, can abandon your subordinates at a critical time, throw away a mess and sneak back to Yicheng by yourself?" ”

Without the joy of reuniting after a long absence between father and son, King Rui's tone was even a little dissatisfied, but this indifferent tone was a little impersonal, but it made Yan Xu's heart slightly warm.

He didn't look up, just looked at the long figure on the floor that was dragged by the candle flame and said, "Father doesn't have to worry about the war in Weidi, the child has already made arrangements." The child secretly returned to Beijing to take advantage of His Majesty's death from illness to support his father's ascension to the throne. ”

Rui Wang Huo Ran turned around, almost thinking that he had misheard, "You...... What did you say? ”

Yan Xu raised his head and looked directly at King Rui, "Father, you heard it right, the child just said that he wants to support his father to ascend the throne as the emperor." ”

King Rui was first horrified, then furious, "Bastard! Do you know what you're talking about? If I want to sit on that dragon chair, will I have to wait until today? I have endured it for many years, don't you know what it is for? Today, you want me to go back and sit in that position? ”

"The child knows that his father has spent half his life trying to find ten ways for the child to dominate the world. But did my father ever think about what would happen if we failed to find a way to do it? ”

King Rui's face couldn't help but change, "Impossible!" The day of extreme yin has been calculated by many masters, and it will not be wrong. The alien blood and the sacrifices are all there, and now there is only a lack of Fuxi gossip, this gossip is in the Great Compassion Temple, you said that you have a way to get it. The worst plan is to send troops to wipe out the Dabei Temple, and I don't believe that more than 100 monks can defeat thousands of troops. You say, how could we fail? ”

Yan Xu's thin lips pursed, since his father was deposed as the crown prince, he has wholeheartedly found ten strategies for him, and it took half a lifetime of hard work, seeing that in a few months, his long-cherished wish for many years is about to come true, but now he suddenly told him that it was impossible for him to obtain ten strategies, how could he accept it for a while? But he worked hard to rush back to Yicheng just to let his father see the shape clearly and avoid the tragedy of being secretly executed by the emperor.

He took a breath and said slowly, "Father, ten ways to ...... It's impossible for me to get it. ”

King Rui was stunned, then took two steps forward and looked at him in disbelief, "You...... What did you say? You can't get the Ten Strategies? Why? ”

Yan Xu was silent, he couldn't tell him that he had failed to take ten strategies and died for it, so he had to say: "Father, if I still love Gu Xiyue, how can I be willing to take her as a sacrifice?" I don't care about the moon anymore, so I ...... I have no sacrifices. ”

"You...... You ......" King Rui pointed at him, he was stunned and speechless for a while, his chest rose and fell violently due to excitement, and he said after a while: "You...... It's really a good thing, I spent my whole life in vain, gave up the throne, and worked hard for you, but you are good, there is no sacrifice, and I discarded the one I made, I really gave birth to a good son......"

Yan Xu looked directly at King Rui and did not retreat, "Father, the child dares to ask, what is the father trying to find ten strategies for the child?" ”

King Rui's face sank, and he bent down slightly to look at Yan Xu who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes flashed with fierceness, and he squeezed out the words from between his teeth, "What is the picture?" There are ten directions in heaven and earth, and one strategy is to paint all souls, don't you understand this sentence? Whoever gets the ten strategies, who is the master of the world, as long as the ten strategies are obtained, what is a mere Jin country? The Qi State in the north, the Qin State in the west, the Chu State in the south, and even the Wuyue and Bashu farther away, will all bow down to us at that time, and all the people in the world are our people, and this whole world is all ours, and all of them are ours! Do you understand? ”

The last two sentences were almost roaring, but Yan Xu was always calm, "Yes, taking the ten strategies is to get the world, in the final analysis, the ten strategies are just a shortcut for us." Father, the child's original intention has not changed, and he is determined to win this world, but father, can't we rely on our own skills to see the blue sky and win this world? ”

King Rui's eyes narrowed suddenly, "You...... What do you mean? ”

Yan Xu said: "What the child means is that I want to fight for the world, but I don't need to rely on ten strategies, I have to rely on my own hands and a long brother to break out a green cloud road for myself." It may take ten years, maybe twenty years, maybe a lifetime, but the child knows that one day, this world will be firmly held by the child. ”

King Rui chuckled a few times, "So...... That's why you rushed back to Wing City from the starry night on the front line? Persuade me to give up the ten strategies, take advantage of His Majesty's critical illness to force the palace, ignore the criticism of the world, re-sit on the throne that I was willing to give up twenty years ago, and then give up the near and far, and fight for years to open up the territory? ”

He paused suddenly, and then "snapped", and slapped his hand on Yan Xu's face, "Rebel!" Bastard thing! Are you demonic or obsessed? Do you even know what you're talking about? Obtaining ten strategies and dominating the world is not just my own desire? That's what your imperial grandfather wanted all his life! In vain, he chose you among many children and grandchildren, thinking that you were the smartest and most ambitious one, but he didn't expect that his old man was blind and chose you as a white-eyed wolf! ”

He stroked his forehead, his chest rose and fell violently because he was too excited, "It's good, it's good, I really gave birth to a good son......" He smiled dismally, and pointed at Yan Xu weakly, "You go out, go to the Discipline Hall and kneel, and think about what you have done, whether you are worthy of me and your imperial grandfather." ”

Yan Xu pursed her lips, knowing that it would be useless to talk about it at this time, she kowtowed to King Rui, got up and walked out.

As soon as Yan Xu left, King Rui sat down on the chair in a dejected manner, rubbing his eyebrows with his fingers, and had a splitting headache. After a while, Shen Shen spoke, "Ah Yin, you heard it, this rebel...... You want to me off for life. ”

Tong Mo quietly stepped out from behind the curtain and said slowly: "The prince is angry, the prince has always acted steadily and thoughtfully, and there must be a reason for this." ”

Ah Yin is Tong Mo's nickname, when King Rui was still the crown prince, the first emperor pointed out Tong Mo who was still a bright flame envoy to King Rui, more than 30 years of ups and downs, the two can be described as friends in distress.

King Rui slowly opened his eyes, and once again turned his gaze to the true works of the first emperor hanging on the wall, "He just said that he doesn't love Gu Xiyue, so Gu Xiyue is no longer his sacrifice, Ah Yin, you go and find out, what has this rebel done in the past two months, that alien blood...... Maybe it's not that simple. ”
