The heavy curtains of the Jiade Hall did not look so glamorous at night, and the old eunuch who held the lamp knelt on the lampstand in front of the main hall sadly, and the wrinkles on his face told countless bitter pasts. The dragon and phoenix carved on the jade pillar loomed as the lights went off, and a gust of wind blew, and the old eunuch coughed, sighing silently at the endless dark night.

In the past, the samurai who should have held halberds here have gone, and in recent days, the main hall is especially empty, and it is even darker at night, which reminds people of the secret history of the court in these years for no reason.

Those things, it's called horror.

Jiade Hall is the dormitory of each generation of emperors, and it has changed more than ten times since the beginning of Emperor Guangwu. At that time, it was splendid and hundreds of officials were waiting for edicts, but today's Jiade Hall is different.

The dim yellow light predicted the ominous, the old and dizzy Empress Dowager Dong stood by the couch, wiping the sweat on Liu Hong's forehead with a roll of hand towels, Xiao Liu Xie looked at this side from a distance behind the carved dragon pillar in the distance, his big smart eyes were full of tears, the child knew too little after all, but he also knew that something bad had happened.

For example, he had never seen a time when there were no outsiders around his father, and now, there was no one in the palace of the majestic eunuchs who knelt and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, the slave didn't make it...... Failed, failed to make the general supervise the battle in Liangzhou, please punish you. ”

Jian Shuo kept kowtowing, and the Empress Dowager Dong next to the couch covered Liu Hong's face with her hands, sweat kept dripping, and her dizzy eyes could also see the paleness on Liu Hong's face. The old queen mother didn't even look at Jian Shuo, if on weekdays, the slave couldn't do anything and killed him directly, what would he do in this world, but at this moment, the orphans and widows could only rely on Jian Shuo.

No matter how loyal a dog is, if he can't catch a rabbit, he is a stupid dog!

"If you weren't still useful, the old body would have killed you a long time ago!" He glared at Jian Shuo in disgust, felt the vibration from Liu Hong's forehead, and hurriedly leaned over and lowered his head and asked softly, "Son, you say, what do you want to say?" Listen, listen. ”

Liu Hong's eyes could only squint a line, his eyes fluttered left and right, and his voice was hoarse, "Zhang Rang...... Zhao Zhong...... Zhang ......"

"Which two old slaves! The emperor is looking for them, where are those two damn old dogs? ”

Facing Empress Dowager Dong's questioning, Jian Shuo didn't even dare to look up, and he didn't dare not answer, so he had to lower his head and whisper: "They, they are in the East Palace...... The queen is there. ”

Liu Hong seemed to be relieved, and as if he was desperate, he breathed a sigh in his throat, but he didn't exhale much. He knows that the last time to be an emperor and a man has come, and everyone has such a day. Wang Meiren has it, Queen Song has it, and I have it. Hongfu Qitian is just a deceitful nonsense, no one can Hongfu Qitian. It's just that to this day, I can't lift my hands, and Zhang Rang Zhaozhong, who has been in the family for more than ten years, is going to hug the legs of the He family at this time, when I want to leave and return to the west.

He finally knew what a treacherous villain was. The past swept through his heart, and those laughter and scolding were all hidden, he saw Liu Tao who had died several times, and Yang Ci who was holding a scroll of scriptures and reciting aloud. Zhang Jun, who died in prison, broke into the cold palace and died of depression...... He is going to meet those people, the country is getting worse and worse under his rule, the people are displaced, the bandits are rampant, what face does he have to meet those people? Ten permanent servants, traitors and villains!

Heaven has given him countless opportunities to choose, but he always takes the fork in the road next to the right path.

He wanted to hit, but he couldn't even raise his hand, he wanted to scold, but he couldn't open his mouth! He could only turn into a ghost and entangle those treacherous villains to go down the Yellow Spring Road with him, after death, after death.

He Jin, He Jin, He Jin, he also has to die, this general does not respect me, and follows those scholars to join the same stream! Complicity!

He has always been the emperor who holds the authority of the world, he can kill whoever he wants, and he will die whoever he wants, so he checks and balances everyone left and right and plays with everyone between applause, but now there is none, there is nothing! Only this terminally ill skin can't scare people. He was aggrieved, sad, and regretful.

In the corners of his eyes, cloudy tears flowed.

Seeing Liu Hong's body trembling violently, he couldn't stop coughing, Jian Shuo hurriedly climbed to the side of the couch: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to take care of your dragon body!" ”

Under the curtain in the corner of the palace, there was the sound of a boy sobbing forcibly, Liu Xie's eyes looked at this side, although his military attache teacher always told him that the prince wanted to maintain his prestige, but he just couldn't keep his prestige, and his father was very uncomfortable.

The little one doesn't yet know what death is, but he already feels a palpable fear.

"Emperor, you have to take care of your body, your mother is your son, how can you live if you leave!" Empress Dowager Dong finally couldn't help it, lying on the couch with muddy tears in her old eyes, she would rather her son be mediocre for a hundred years, than go like this for a year, suddenly Empress Dowager Dong raised her head suddenly and sobbed and said: "And my mother's little grandson, I have no mother since I was a child, if you are no longer there, how can you be worthy of his dead mother!" ”

The illness came like a mountain, and even Xie'er couldn't stand up for the crown prince, so he was about to die...... The youngest son is only a few years old, even if he ascends the throne, the He family can be abolished by finding a reason, if God gives him another ten days, he will kill He Jin and abolish the queen first, even if it is the third party, he will not hesitate!

Empress Dowager Dong is right, Xiao Xie'er is so well-behaved and clever, and she does everything with an aura, and she will definitely be a generation of Ming Jun after ascending the throne...... No matter how bad it is, it's better than yourself!

Liu Hong's eyes were filled with tears uncontrollably, and he tilted his head and pointed at the little Liu Xie who was full of tears on the side of the pillar...... Keep an eye on Jian Shuo.

The heart of the emperor, where does he care about the eldest son or the younger son, don't care about the prince's debate or the prince's association, it is all the blood and blood of Emperor Gaozu, what he cares about is the situation in the court...... The strength of the eldest prince's relatives is too strong, even if Liu Hong dies, he is not at ease.

Jian Shuo turned his head in horror, and followed Liu Hong's trembling fingers to see Liu Xie, who was more frightened than him, bowing his head heavily, knocking his face full of blood, "The slave knows, the slave knows, Your Majesty rest assured, the slave will give up his life to protect the little prince from ascending the throne!" ”

"Let it go...... Horse...... Exceed! Kill...... What...... Enter! ”

Liu Hong's head is getting more and more chaotic, he can't take care of a lot, God has less and less time left for him, the better the horse is to use, the more Jian Shuo can control it, there is no need to think about it anymore. Ma Yue is still Xie'er's teacher more or less, Liang Hu is so good to him, he can't even learn this little bit of teacher morality.

Besides, at this time, is there anyone other than Ma Yue who can cure the general?

Liu Hong can't say for sure, but Jian Shuo and Ma Yue joined forces to deal with the General's Mansion, it should be okay, it should be ...... It's just that Ma Yue, who has been detained for half a year, is that heart still the same as before?

He didn't know, but in his life, he had done too many things wrong, and he couldn't count them. But only two things left behind him are right, Guanghe domesticated the fierce dog Jian Shuo in four years, and Guanghe picked up the wild wolf Ma Yue in five years.

"Bang!"

The closed door of the Garter Hall was slammed open with his back, and the old eunuch tripped backwards on the threshold, stumbled backwards and crawled while shouting in horror: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, someone has broken into the palace, broken into the palace!" ”

knocked over the nine Garter lamps at the door.

At the entrance of the main hall, the firelight shone the outline of a huge figure, and the blood on his face could not stop the scar on his eyes. Behind him, under the high platform of the Jiade Palace, more than 100 strong bows and crossbows of the Xiyuan Army were facing the Yulin Army that was slowly surrounding, Pei Ruo never thought that he would have such a day, with His Majesty's bedroom behind him, and confronted the A soldier Ge who was guarding the Forbidden Palace.

Crazy!

Jian Shuo's eyes widened, Empress Dowager Dong pointed at Ma Yue and wanted to scold the rebel, but she couldn't speak with her mouth open, the old empress dowager knew that just now, who of the four people in this hall didn't think about this man in his heart?

Ma Yue's face was expressionless, his linen robe was already stained with blood, and the skin that could not be covered by his clothes was covered with staggered scars, some of his skin was cracked, and some were high and swollen.

This look, breaking into the dormitory at this time, the person who will not appear will appear at the most undesirable time, even Xiao Liu Xie stopped sobbing and looked at Ma Yue blankly.

Ma Yue glanced at the couch from a distance, and immediately squinted his eyes, he could see that Liu Hong was no longer good!

Kneeling on one knee, Ma Yue beckoned to Xiao Liu Xie, "Your Highness, don't be afraid, come to the minister's side." ”

Liu Xie looked at Ma Yue, who was covered in blood, turned his head and looked helplessly at the couch, Liu Hong couldn't see the appearance of this side clearly, but the Empress Dowager Dong saw it really and heard it clearly, Ma Yue's mouth was still His Royal Highness, and the old woman's eyes nodded eagerly. After getting the answer, Liu Xie still walked towards Ma Yue in small steps with some fear.

Walking in front of Ma Yue, Ma Yue raised his hand, watched the blood on his arm flow down to his hand, found a clean place on his clothes to dry, stretched out his palm to wipe Xiao Liu Xie's face full of tears, and then made a very disrespectful move.

"Your Highness, don't be afraid, the minister is here."

He hugged Xiao Liu Xie, just like hugging his own little nephew, and just hugged Xiao Liu Xie and strode to Liu Hong's couch, only one person away from the Empress Dowager Dong on the couch. Staring at Liu Hong, who was sick on the couch, he counted the time, and he couldn't see any expression on his face, and suddenly pushed the golden mountain and bowed down.

"Your Majesty, forgive the ministers for trespassing and escaping without permission." Ma Yue said respectfully, "Your Majesty, can you make the little prince the crown prince?" ”

"Ho, ho." Liu Hong was speechless, he just looked at Ma Yue quietly, with a meaningless snort in his mouth, and from Ma Yue's breaking in, the last strength in Liu Hong's heart had begun to slowly dissipate. Ma Yue is here, the Ma Yue who said unashamedly under Xuanwu that he will one day avenge the murder of his wife for me, and the Ma Yue who said to himself at the Xuanshu court meeting that the king is the master and the thief is the head is here!

Liu Hong's humming seemed to be understood by Ma Yue, he hugged Xiao Liu Xie and nodded, and then said: "Your Majesty, General Zhu, the abolished queen, the crown prince ascends the throne, the queen mother is the country, and the ministers are auxiliary to the government, is it okay?" ”

Liu Hong's eyes widened a little, and all of a sudden there was only the sound of Liu Hong's breathing in the Jiade Palace, and those cloudy eyes stared at Ma Yue for a moment, and then relaxed again, "Ho... Whew..."

Ma Yue nodded again, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister asks the Empress Dowager Dong to prepare an edict, and the prince will assist the mother and the son, if the Empress Dowager Dong is here, please supervise the country." If the Queen Mother is not there, His Majesty will give an edict, and the ministers can act cheaply, protect the emperor, and make decisions on the spot. If you are guilty, you will be spared death. After that, Ma Yue still looked at Liu Hong expressionlessly and asked, "Is it okay?" ”

Liu Hong nodded lightly, Ma Yue put down Xiao Liu Xie gently, stretched out his hand to stretch his clothes for the little prince, wiped away the tears on his face, and said softly: "Your Highness, there will be ministers to protect you in the future, if the ministers are gone, you can't cry anymore, you are the future king of a country, promise the ministers, be strong, okay?" ”

After Ma Yue finished saying this, the string that Liu Hong had always broken in his heart broke little by little.

Ma Yue stretched out his arms and bowed down under the bed, more serious and upright than any time before.

This worship is a worship of the emperor's grace of several years of checks and balances.

This worship, the second worship of the virtue of heaven's good life, seven years of dormancy.

This worship, three worship of the earth's virtue, let him trap the beast out of the cage.
