"I'm thinking about one thing. ”

Ji Qi, the fourth prince, who had a feminine color between his eyebrows and eyes, said to the middle-aged strategist in front of him: "Do you want to let Hong Chun disappear." ”

The middle-aged man opposite shook his head and said, "At this juncture, Your Highness must not have such an outrageous move." Besides, there are basically no loopholes in this plan, even if something goes wrong with Hong Chun, it is harmless. ”

He raised his head, and there was a smile on his lips: "The Third Highness wants to take advantage of the pure conscience of the scholar and the prince, in a vain attempt to beat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the bottomless abyss, but he forgot that you, the Fourth Prince, are watching them from the palace. ”

In these two lines of dialogue, a shocking truth is revealed.

Although Hong Chun is the leader eunuch trusted by Ji Yun, why is he so lucky...... Or is it so bad luck that you will find out about the pickled affair between the princess and the third highness?

It turned out that he was also a dark chess game played by Ji Qi in the shadows.

Ji Qi suddenly smiled and said, "That's right, as long as the Emperor Uncle Ancestor knows about this, everything will have been settled." ”

The middle-aged man also laughed: "Your Highness's two elder brothers, there is no big obstacle to Your Highness, but now the minister wants to talk to His Highness about an outsider." ”

"Oh?" a hint of curiosity flashed in Ji Qi's eyes, "Except for the crown prince and the third brother, are there any other people worthy of my attention?"

The middle-aged man nodded cautiously and said, "Although this person doesn't seem to have much impact on the situation, the reason why the prince can know these things so quickly is that this person plays an extremely crucial role." ”

"His identity on the surface is the deputy envoy of the Pure Water Country Mission, named Ye Fan. ”

......

......

Ye Fan looked helplessly at Qiao Sandao, who was expressionless on the opposite side, and sighed: "This is the palace, what about your own backyard, you can enter and leave if you want?"

Qiao Sandao nodded and said seriously: "Although there is some trouble, as long as I am careful, the palace can indeed come if I want to, and I can leave if I want to." ”

Ye Fan sighed and didn't care about him.

"Childe, that eunuch, do you want to do it?"

Ye Fan frowned and said: "Qiao Sandao, let me say more, all kinds of mistakes in the world are different in size, and it is difficult for us to be a person without mistakes." However, as a human being, only life and death are the most important things that should be handled carefully. Whether that person is a prince or a minister, or a eunuch. ”

Qiao Sandao frowned slightly, and he didn't say anything.

"Do you think I'm too kind of a woman?"

Ye Fan was not angry at Qiao Sandao's thoughts, but smiled and said, "The reason why you think I am a woman's kindness is because this matter has not been spread on you or the people close to you." ”

Qiao Sandao was noncommittal about this, and his face was calm as usual.

Ye Fan didn't dwell too deeply on this matter, and continued to ask, "I didn't leave any handles, did I?"

Qiao Sandao replied: "Those few people in Ji Yun Mansion have no realm, I am very careful, I should not leave a tail." ”

Ye Fan nodded, very relieved of Qiao Sandao's ability.

This time, Qiao Sandao was released to track Ji Yun's whereabouts, but he didn't expect the blind cat to meet the dead mouse and get such a piece of information.

Dayan's third prince turned out to be having an affair with his own sister, and if the news spread, it would inevitably set off a monstrous wave in Kyoto.

Ye Fan rubbed his eyebrows, although he informed King Xiaoyao of this matter, but with that person's temperament, at this moment, he could choose to calm things down, and he probably didn't want to make some more trouble.

But at the very least, Ji Yun should be out of the throne.

Ye Fan raised his head and looked at the dark clouds piled up and circling in the air, bringing up a huge black shadow that shrouded the glorious and towering palace.

He thought to himself, is this going to rain again?

......

......

"Uncle Huang, why are you here today?"

Concubine Yi bowed and asked the man in front of her.

The King of Joy did not answer her words, but walked slowly behind his hands, his eyes fixed on Concubine Yi's beautiful face.

Concubine Yi's body shook for no reason, watching this familiar and unfamiliar elder walk towards her, looking at the lines between his eyebrows and eyes similar to His Majesty, and seeing clearly the lines of the gold thread on the python robe, but she couldn't see the expression on the man's face clearly, and she couldn't see the mood hidden under that expression.

Her body trembled again, and it was obvious that Concubine Yi felt a little afraid of this King of Freedom from the bottom of her bones.

Ji Yue attached to her ear and whispered, "Concubine Yi, you really taught a good son. ”

Concubine Yi was stunned, the first thing she thought about was whether the fifth prince had caused any trouble, and the next moment she reacted, only to know that it was related to Ji Yun.

She looked at Ji Yue with trembling lips, thinking to herself that Yun'er was really the murderer of His Majesty?

Seeing that she didn't answer, Ji Yue frowned slightly and took a step forward.

Although Ji Yue only took a step forward, Concubine Yi seemed to feel a big mountain coming from the top, and a compelling momentum erupted from the man in the python suit in front of him, directly pressing on her body.

"Why, Uncle Huang, why is that?"

Concubine Yi's face turned pale, and her eyes looked at Ji Yue blankly.

Ji Yue had already walked outside the palace, and when he was about to leave the palace gate, he turned his head and glanced at Concubine Yi indifferently, and said calmly: "Be your Concubine Yi honestly, if you don't want to die." ”

The door of the palace was slowly closed, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting here were all driven out of the palace by King Xiaoyao, and they were standing in a row at the door respectfully.

Ji Yue glanced at the old eunuch beside him, and said in a deep voice: "As soon as the crown prince's enthronement ceremony is over, Concubine Yi and the people under the third hand will all be replaced by this king. ”

The old eunuch hung his head and asked angrily, "Lord Wang, ......what do you mean?"

Ji Yue frowned, "Huh?"

The old eunuch hurriedly replied: "The slave understands. ”

......

......

The palace and the capital, inside the palace and outside the palace, in this small half an hour, any eunuch and palace maid who had served in the two palaces were determined by Ji Yue's words.

Hundreds of lives are about to be sacrificed just to cover up the possibility of a royal scandal for the King of Freedom.

Perhaps it was only at this time that the Great Yan Xiaoyao King, who had lived for hundreds of years, began to gradually reveal his most cruel, ruthless, and powerful side.

This middle-aged man in a python suit came to the door of Ji Yun's mansion in Beijing alone.

He was not accompanied by any of the guards.

The subordinates of Ji Yun's Mansion have long been dispersed by a will.

The dark clouds over Kyoto are getting thicker.

A bolt of lightning struck in the air, and countless rains poured down with it.

Ji Yun, the third prince sitting in the middle of the lobby, slowly raised his head and looked at the door of the mansion with an extremely plain gaze, the door was slowly pushed open, with a creaky sound, and a middle-aged man who was soaked and had long hair scattered behind him slowly walked in.

Ji Yun put the book in his hand on the table, flicked his placket, and slowly knelt down, "Don't Xiao descendant Ji Yun, meet the emperor's uncle." ”

Ji Yue walked into the door of the mansion, turned around and slowly closed the door, he didn't care about his soaked clothes, and his expression was neither happy nor sad.

Ji Yun lowered his head and knelt silently in the middle of the hall.

Ji Yue's face remained unchanged, and he walked forward slowly, and walked in front of Ji Yun in front of the plaque in the lobby.

Not silent for a long time, Ji Yue looked at him indifferently and asked word by word, "Why?"

Then Ji Yun fell silent.

Miao Miao green smoke came out of the lobby, and when you smell it, you can know that it is the best Yishen incense.

At this time, a long time had passed since the question Ji Yue asked, but the two were still silent and looked at each other. Love Book House

"Why?"

Ji Yun suddenly laughed, "Uncle Huang, are you asking why I have gotten the news but still haven't escaped? Or are you asking why Duan Yiyi is ready to go, but the Shence Army has not moved for a long time? You still want to ask, I have been planning for so long, is it really impossible to put down that chair?"

He raised his head slightly, and stared directly at Ji Yue with those calm and sickly eyes: "Why? I also want to ask the Emperor Uncle Ancestor, why is my talent hundreds of times and thousands of times higher than my waste brother, but you resolutely refuse to let me inherit the throne? Why did your father clearly tell you that I am the new crown prince of Dayan, but you chose to turn a blind eye?"

"Why?" Ji Yun stared at Ji Yue seriously, and said softly, "Uncle Huang, why do you say it?"

Ji Yue was silent and looked at him pitifully.

The corners of Ji Yun's lips hooked up a smile, "Everything I do is for Dayan, all for the Ji family! Father wants to be the lord of a state, not because his talents and means are not enough, but because the temple is trying his best to stop it, and my father also knows very well that with the prince's idiot, he will definitely not be able to do it, only me, only I can! Only I can make Dayan reach this unprecedented level in the world!"

Ji Yun gasped twice, then quickly calmed down, put his head on the ground, and was speechless for a long time.

The King looked at her silently, and said slowly after a while, "You are crazy. ”

"Perhaps. Ji Yun continued to clasp his head and said in a muffled voice: "I've been sober for twenty years, and I've been crazy for a few days, and I feel good." ”

Ji Yue said indifferently: "You said so much, it is nothing more than to cover up the pickled things you have done, your love for power has reached a point where you can do everything." It really makes me sick. ”

"Hmph. Ji Yun snorted from his nose and sneered: "People go to high places and water flows to low places, if I don't want to send people to die depressed under the fence, I can only do everything, and I can only continue to go crazy." ”

There was a loud bang! A thunder exploded outside the mansion, and the wind and rain seemed to be getting stronger, Ji Yue looked at his clan grandson, and suddenly laughed, "Could it be ...... Do you think this king ...... I really don't want to kill you?"

Ji Yun knelt on the ground motionless and was speechless for a long time.

Ji Yue closed his eyes, and said slowly after a while: "After all, you are the emperor's bloodline, and the emperor's favorite heir, if it weren't for this step, this king would have kept you rich and noble no matter what, but you have formed a party for private purposes, privately taught and received, colluded with other countries, and disordered ethics, which one is not a major crime of killing your head? ”

"If it were at another time, even if this king knew that you were having an affair with Ling'er, this king would not be so angry. ”

Ji Yue stared at Ji Yun's eyes fiercely, "But you shouldn't be so unscrupulous, you shouldn't attack Ling'er." ”

"Do you know who her future husband is?"

Ji Yun suddenly clenched his palm, and his nails stabbed into the flesh, slowly bleeding blood.

Ji Yue calmed down and said slowly, "You already knew, didn't you?"

Ji Yun continued to be silent.

"Why. ”

"Why?" Ji Yun suddenly let out a burst of gloomy laughter, "Why? There is nothing why! Sister Ling'er is in love with me, that's the reason......

Ji Yue looked at him indifferently and said, "She loves you?"

"Isn't it strange?" Ji Yun raised his head, his face filled with a hint of pride, "As long as I want, the vast majority of women in the world will fall in love with me." ”

"Shameless!"

Ji Yun looked at him, the imperial uncle, and said softly: "I know, you have always been giving me opportunities and giving me hope. ”

"But it doesn't make sense to say that anymore. Ji Yun said indifferently: "Kill me, otherwise you will definitely regret it in the future." ”

Ji Yue ignored his plea for death, and instead stretched out his palm, which held a jade plaque.

Then he gently threw the jade plaque upward, and a mysterious formation aura gradually passed out, and then enveloped the entire mansion.

"After the crown prince ascends the throne, we will take care of your affairs. ”

This was the last sentence Ji Yue said before leaving.

Ji Yun had been kneeling in the lobby for half an hour, but he hadn't gotten up for a long time.

......

......

Five days have passed since the death knell sounded.

At this time, the city of Dayanjing City, full of plain, a piece of white, such as a cold snow in the June day, at a glance, all white, white lanterns, white paper money, white couplets, white clothes.

After all, it is impossible to keep the news of His Majesty's death hidden, especially when the rumors are getting more and more popular, Ji Yue immediately made a decision, and couldn't wait for the continuation of various investigations, so he sent out this obituary that shook the world.

The emperor died of illness in the courtyard of the deep palace, which was the "truth" that the court told the people of the world.

Before the day of the national mourning, Kyoto has become a white world.

The Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple are being carried out according to the same style, and the process is extremely smooth, so smooth that the big people in the court palace are not only sad, but also fall into a certain panic.

Your Majesty has not taken any too amazing moves over the years, and it seems to be a little mediocre and calm, but this dead person is the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty after all, and he is the absolute core of the entire Great Yan and even the countries of Zilai Prefecture!

It was not that they could not accept the death of the Emperor, but that they could not accept the manner in which His Majesty had left.

Assassinated to death.

The murderer has not yet been arrested, and not even some conclusive evidence has been left.

How can Your Majesty's heroic soul be comforted?

What will greet Dayan in the future?

Is it a long-term turmoil and war, or is it broken and reborn?

Whatever it is, Dayan desperately needs a new ruler to lead them out of the shadows they are in.

The common people naturally did not know the decision made by the emperor when he was dying, so the crown prince was naturally the first choice.

The truth about His Majesty's assassination circulated among the officials and magnates seemed to be related to the Third Highness, some believed it, and some people didn't.

But the party acted as if nothing had happened, there was no will in the palace to announce his entry into the palace, he had been living in his private house, and the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department could only investigate the case privately, after all, it was impossible for them to invite a prince to tea without conclusive evidence, right?

Ji Yue sat at the door of the main hall, listening to the bursts of crying coming from behind the hall, his brows furrowed imperceptibly, and then he was covered by a lingering tiredness.

The whole palace is busy, the inner palace wall is not high, and you can faintly see the pole head of the inner court purchasing white flags, hurrying on the wall, heading in the direction of the front palace.

In the Taihe Palace, there will be an event that will determine the most important thing for Dayan's future, and everyone's minds will gather there.

Yan Jing refused the invitation of his colleagues, and walked to the gate of the Taihe Hall alone, and after hearing the voice of the prince passing the prince's will and inviting the scholars to enter the palace, he just stood in front of the door in a daze, looking at the chaotic sacrificial procession in the square in front of the palace, which made his head dizzy.

He walked into the empty Taihe Hall in a daze, and stood in the second position of the civil official team, and the whole person looked a little confused.

Yan Jing forgot Ji Yue's words of remembrance in front of the palace, and forgot the prince's sad ambition, but he only vaguely remembered a few words, what three highnesses, assassination, rebellion, imprisonment and the like.

Yan Jing's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and suddenly his body trembled, and he heard the sound of gongs, drums, silk and bamboo outside the Taihe Palace.

He looked up blankly and looked at the top of the hall.

The crown prince is about to ascend the throne.

......

Standing in front of the dragon chair, the crown prince looked down at the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground, knowing that as long as he sat down, he would become the new monarch of Dayan, the most powerful person in Zilai Prefecture.

His eyes drooped slightly, looking at the fourth child and his sister below, but he didn't see Ji Yun, who he regarded as a great enemy, and somehow, a trace of sadness surged in his heart.

"Your Majesty, please ascend the throne. ”

Ji Wen turned around and saluted respectfully to the Queen Mother and Ji Yue, and then went to sit on the dragon chair.

But at such a solemn and sad moment, Yan Jing suddenly stood up, knelt on his knees, walked two steps out, came to the dragon chair, kowtowed to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Never!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was shocked, Ji Yue's face sank under the dragon chair, and several eunuchs began to slowly lean towards the direction of the scholar.

Yan Jing took a deep breath, only feeling that he was unprecedentedly clear at this time, and he knew what he should do.

He buckled his head fiercely, used all the strength of his body, gambled on the honor and disgrace of his life, and called out with grief and indignation: "On the occasion of Your Majesty's Bintian, there is a testament, the crown prince Ji Wen, and he must not succeed to the throne!"

It was silent all around, and the crows were silent.

Only the prince's clenched palm made a soft sound of brittleness.
