"Back then, the widow also had the plan to go to the city to see the old city lord, but because of some things delayed for a few days, when he could travel, the old city lord of the city had already returned to the west, and since then this matter has been over. The Emperor sighed, "But the widow does not know that in the far north, there is such a loyal man who has done such a thing for the empire, which is really embarrassing." ”

Dongfang Shuo explained the ins and outs of the whole thing, picked what could be said and what could be said, and told the emperor thoroughly.

And the emperor, naturally, also showed the attitude he deserved.

"It's been ten years, and there's finally an explanation. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

The emperor said: "The widow wants to rehabilitate the Su family, what does Dongfang Aiqing want?"

Dongfang Shuo stepped back from the stairs and arched his hand: "If Your Majesty thinks it's appropriate, the minister also thinks it's appropriate." ”

The Emperor smiled, and then got up.

"Then apart from this matter, Dongfang Aiqing has any other questions?" the emperor asked.

When asked about this, Dongfang Shuo shook his head decisively.

If there is, then the only thing left is to seize the empire.

At this time, his bright eyes revealed a look with deep meaning, looking into the eyes of the emperor who was also unable to see through his heart.

No more words between the two of them were better than a long conversation all night.

"Then, the widow is above this court, waiting for your triumph. The Emperor raised his hand.

Dongfang Shuo bowed his hand, and then made a big salute.

So, he turned and left the court.

Looking at Dongfang Shuo's back as he walked away, the emperor's eyes seemed to be much more relaxed than before.

Soon after the former left, the white-clothed swordsman Luo Yang came from outside the hall with a sword.

"Your Majesty. ”

Luo Yang held his sword in both hands.

The emperor looked at Luo Yang, and after taking a deep breath, he asked, "Is everything done?"

"That's right. ”

"Well, just wait for the results. ”

"But Your Majesty, the minister still feels that it is a little inappropriate to let the Lord of the East go on the expedition. ”

"The widow knows what you're worried about, and the widow just wants you to accept whatever happens afterward. ”

"Is this your Majesty's intention?"

"Thoughts...... Sort of. ”

"The minister commanded. ”

Luo Yang hugged his sword again.

And when the emperor saw this, he also smiled.

So, he sat down, took the jade seal, the imperial pen, and the holy decree silk from beside him, and began to write something.

After writing, I picked up the jade seal and covered it with my own hands.

After doing everything, he summoned Luo Yang to the front, rolled up the holy decree in his hand with his own hands, and handed it over.

"Give it to Dongfang Shuo with your own hands. ”

The Emperor said.

Luo Yang did not accept the holy decree, but knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty!"

Looking at Luo Yang who was kneeling on the ground, the emperor put down his hand holding the holy decree: "Luo Yang, didn't you just receive your life?"

"But Your Majesty, this is tantamount to giving up the imperial power, how should it be written in the history books in the future? Luo Yang said.

The emperor smiled, but said: "Dongfang Shuo borrowed the hand of a widow to kill the prince, and then went to the court to ask for guilt without a crown is the second, but a small act has already monopolized righteousness and loyalty." With such a loyal minister, the widow had to give him the opportunity to 'make meritorious contributions'. The emperor said, "It doesn't matter what the history books will say, but today's mouths will not talk about Dongfang Shuo's transgression." ”

The words fell, and the hall was silent for three breaths.

Then, Luo Yang's other knee also touched the ground, the sword was set aside, and he leaned down and bowed to the emperor.

The emperor was puzzled: "What does Luo Yang mean?"

"Thank you, Lord Long. ”

Luoyang Road.

Hearing this, the emperor was even more confused: "If you are outnumbered, how can you come to Longen?"

Luo Yang looked up at the Emperor, but was still on his knees.

"The minister has something to tell His Majesty. ”

"What?"

"Actually, Lord Dongfang is Shang Guogong. ”

"The widow knows, this is the widow himself, why do you say that?"

The Emperor became more and more confused.

And Luo Yang shook his head and said: "Dongfang Shuo is the Duke of Shangguo, two hundred years ago, the Emperor Zu conferred the title of Duke Shangguo. ”

The words fell, and the emperor's eyes showed astonishment.

If someone else said it, he might laugh it off, or he might be angry and fall into the crime of bullying the king.

But this sentence came from Luo Yang's mouth, but it had to make the emperor think twice.

Because Luo Yang is a veteran of the Four Dynasties, and the years span more than 180 years, it can be said that he grew up watching the three emperors of the Longlin Empire with his own eyes.

However, the years have not left any traces on Luo Yang's body, and now he still looks no more than thirty years old. This is also the strangest place, but it is strange, but no one has ever asked, not the emperor himself.

And the main reason why the emperor didn't dare to question it immediately was that Luo Yang was one of the few people who had seen the first Shang Guogong with his own eyes and was still alive.

"Luo Yang, what does this sentence mean?"

The emperor asked.

Luo Yang raised his head: "Back to Your Majesty, literally." ”

He ...... How could it be that Shang Guogong? He is only twenty-three or fourteen years old now. The emperor couldn't believe it.

And Luo Yang smiled slightly: "Doesn't the minister's appearance look like he is only thirty years old?"

The emperor frowned: "But his strength is far inferior to yours, it is impossible for such a long time not to leave traces on him." Moreover, why didn't he tell the widow in the first place, and go to the Spirit Realm?"

Luo Yang shook his head: "He is indeed the Shang Guogong, but now he is indeed only twenty-three years old, and he doesn't know all this, so naturally it is impossible to come to see His Majesty from the beginning." ”

The Emperor frowned.

In this way, he became more and more confused.

He gradually began to be incomprehensible, he could not understand what it was all about.

"If he doesn't even know about himself, why do you know?"

The emperor asked.

Luo Yang replied: "Because, he is my biological father." ”

The emperor was stunned.

He may want to question it, but Luo Yang will never lie to him, and it is even more impossible to lie in the current situation, and there is no need to lie.

"This ...... It's all true?"

The Emperor sat down, his tone calmer than before.

Luo Yang nodded.

So, the emperor asked: "That Jian'an is also ......?"

"Yes, he is also Jian'an's father. ”

Luoyang Road.

The emperor sank his gaze and sighed, "Incredible, unbelievable......"

Then, the emperor raised his eyes and asked, "Since this is the case, what ......is the relationship between Aunt Ji Zhaoning and him?"

Hearing this, Luo Yang suddenly smiled.

"Your Majesty hasn't asked me about the relationship between Jian An and Ji Zhaoning so far, right?" Luo Yang paused here for a moment, and then continued, "The relationship between Ji Zhaoning and Dongfang Shuo is difficult to describe. But there is one point, Ji Zhaoning is not my mother and Jian'an's mother, or rather, Jian'an and I don't have a mother. ”

After hearing this, the emperor sighed.

He leaned back and looked up at the top of the hall.

"So, is all this due to fate? Is everything doomed when the widow chooses Dongfang Shuo?" he sighed.
