Chapter 456: Excuses

"Don't know?"

Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment, "You want to make friends with me, but you don't know the reason?"

Zhai Liulang nodded.

"You can say you know, but you can also say you don't know. ”

He said.

Hearing this, he became even more confused, so he immediately asked, "What does it mean? Why can't I understand it?"

"I want to make friends with you because I want you to be on our side, because you are the only one who has the power to change your time. Zhai Liulang said.

It seems that this sentence seems to explain Dongfang Shuo's problem, but in fact, it makes Dongfang Shuo even more foggy.

The deep meaning of these words is really unclear to Dongfang Shuo.

"Change this era?" he frowned, "but I'm just an ordinary person. ”

Seeing him say this, Zhai Liulang also smiled slightly.

That's what puzzles us, but that's exactly what happened. Zhai Liulang said, "What I can tell you is that we want to change this era, but we can't, and it is you who give us hope." ”

"Hope?"

Dongfang Shuo was still confused, "Where does hope come from?"

"Just ten days ago, the Sima family knelt outside the palace gate for a day because of you. Zhai Liulang said this, and there was even a glint in his eyes, "If this was placed in the past, it would be something we couldn't think of, but after you appeared, it became a reality." ”

"This ...... Can it be considered hope?"

Dongfang Shuo was stunned.

To be honest, although he also has a heart, his original purpose is not on this at all, and it can be said that everything is the result of unintentional insertion.

At this time, Zhai Liulang said with a little excitement: "Of course, this is hope. Do you understand that the eighth generation of the Sima family is in charge, and all the important positions in the imperial city also have the shadow of the Sima family, what kind of family background is this? In the imperial city, there is no one who can stand out for thousands of years, and the people who have always impeached the Sima family have all ended in failure, and you alone, and even let the entire Sima family kneel at the gate of the palace. ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but scratch his head.

To be honest, he didn't expect this matter to be so serious.

"But even so, it can't prove anything, right?" Dongfang Shuo said, "After all, the Sima family is so Xuanhe, if it threatens the imperial power, it is not surprising that Your Majesty will find an excuse to punish them, right?"

"Dongfang Shuo, be cautious. ”

At this time, Xu Changsheng suddenly reminded.

After Zhai Liulang glanced at Xu Changsheng, he looked at Dongfang Shuo again: "According to what you said, there may be some truth." But there are other examples. ”

"For example?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

But at this time, Zhai Liulang did not answer immediately, but looked at Xu Changsheng.

Looking at Zhai Liulang's eyes, Xu Changsheng seemed to understand the meaning, so he said to Dongfang Shuo: "The prince has been deposed." ”

Dongfang Shuo listened and nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, the crown prince has been deposed, and that is also an example...... Hmm, what did you say, the prince was deposed?!" He was shocked.

Because, such a news is even more exciting than him being crowned Shang Guogong.

Abolishing the crown prince, no matter where it is, is by no means a trivial matter, and it will inevitably shake the foundation of the country.

Because of the existence of the crown prince, there must be the existence of his henchmen.

"But why is there no movement in the Imperial City at all, and no one has mentioned this matter all the way here?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

If the crown prince is deposed, his henchmen will definitely have a big backlash.

But it is strange that there is such calm in the imperial city.

"Because everything is justified, naturally no one dares to make a mistake. Xu Changsheng said.

Dongfang Shuo was stunned: "How can it be justified?"

"Do you remember what you encountered when you entered the palace ten days ago?"

"Remember, I was intercepted and killed in the corridor of the inner palace. Dongfang Shuo's words were here, and one possibility suddenly flashed in his mind, "Is it ......?"

"That's right, the person who intercepted and killed you was the crown prince. ”

"Why did he intercept me?"

Dongfang Shuo's face was full of doubts.

Although he slapped the prince in the face three times, the entanglement between the two was only that.

If these words are alone, the crown prince has completely other ways to get it back, and there is no need to risk his life and use private soldiers to intercept and kill a person summoned by the emperor in the palace.

What a grudge this is?

The crown prince was ambitious as a young man, and he ascended to the throne at the age of eighteen, and at the same time, it also created his arrogant and conceited character. Xu Changsheng said, "Ten days ago, after the six princes faced the saint, they went to the East Palace to see the prince again. After that, the prince immediately took action. Come to think of it, what did His Highness the Sixth Highness say at that time? ”

"The Six Princes?"

Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes.

While lamenting that the six princes were good at words, he was also very curious about what kind of conversation took place in the East Palace that day, which actually prompted the prince to be hot-headed, and he used swords against Dongfang Shuo in the palace.

If Xu Changsheng knew, he should have said it at this moment.

It can be seen that at that time, there were only two people in the East Palace, the sixth prince and the crown prince.

That brings us to the second point. At this time, Zhai Liulang suddenly spoke, "The Sima family knelt down because of you, and even the crown prince was deposed because of you, if one of them is a coincidence, then both things cannot be a coincidence." ”

"But behind these two things, it can be understood that His Majesty has other motives. Dongfang Shuo said.

And Zhai Liulang smiled slightly: "Yes, it is possible that Your Majesty has another motive, but so what? Have you ever thought that even if Your Majesty has another motive, why does Your Majesty use you as an excuse for these two extremely important things?"

Dongfang Shuo was stunned.

He really can't answer this question.

"The divine will is unfathomable, not because it is deep, but because it is unfathomable. Zhai Liulang continued, "Don't try to understand what Your Majesty is thinking, but think about what Your Majesty wants you to think he is thinking." ”

“...... So, in the future, Your Majesty will continue to use me as an excuse to do other things?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

And Zhai Liulang shook his head: "Not necessarily, but only one thing is certain, that is, you have complied with what Your Majesty wants, and you can help us change this era." ”

Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes.

Although there is nothing on his face, in his heart, it is already mixed.

said that he complied with the emperor, but his ultimate goal was to kill the emperor.

Could it be that killing the emperor is also complying with the emperor?

Dongfang Shuo let out a long sigh and finally said, "Then let's get down to business." You just said 'you', this 'guy', there should be more than just these two of you?"
