The hall was empty, and the outside of the hall was two worlds, and even the double happiness did not come in with the emperor, and after we entered the hall, the door of the palace was closed. Although it was already dusk, the hall was brightly lit, and the emperor walked step by step to the towering dragon chair on the Jinluan Palace, standing in front of the dragon chair, he did not sit down, only stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the delicate carvings on the armrests of the dragon chair, and sighed lightly for a while: "You say, how many people in this world want to sit on this chair?" ”

I was so shocked that I didn't dare to speak out, and the emperor probably didn't think to ask for my answer, and continued: "How many people have turned against father and son and brother for it? How many people's blood is stained on this chair? In all dynasties, countless people have died on the road to seize the chair, why are there still people who are desperate to follow one after another? ”

I was silent. For what? Naturally, for the sake of the supreme absolute right, people with a little ambition want to stand at the top of the power, yearn for the feeling of being in control of the world, and they do not hesitate to sacrifice everything for this. The emperor slowly sat on the dragon chair, glanced at me, and said lightly: "You say, the person who wants to sit in this position today will lose or win?" ”

I was shocked and looked at him with wide eyes: "The emperor said that King Jing will ...... today" Thinking of the scene when King Jing left the palace gate after being reprimanded by the emperor today, his sad expression of suddenly falling from the clouds with infinite scenery to the trough, and the indignant and hateful gaze, I definitely have reason to believe that he will do the last blow before he dies.

There was a grim smile on the corner of the emperor's lips, and he said slowly: "He has been arranging for so long, just waiting for me to lose my breath, and then he will enter the house in a grand manner, I didn't expect to encounter the attack of the Snow Wolf King, and thousands of students knocked on the book, and I didn't expect that I would come back at this moment, as soon as I came back, he would never have a chance again, and he would inevitably launch a coup d'état quickly, depending on which of us was more careful and thoughtful." ”

I was in my heart, he knew that King Jing would launch a coup d'état tonight and besiege the imperial city, why did he still announce me into the palace? Could it be that I will play a role in this palace change? No, it's not me, it's the Yun family behind me. But what role can the Yun family play? He's got everything laid out...... Don't...... Thinking of the previous time he asked me sharply when the Yun family and King Jing got so close, I took a step back and gasped, he didn't want the Yun family to play any role in this palace change, he was afraid of what role the Yun family would play in it, he was afraid that the Yun family and King Jing would be together...... That's why you want to announce my entry into the palace, so that you can use it as a threat?

Looking at him in disbelief, my voice trembled softly: "Since the emperor knows that King Jing will besiege the imperial city tonight, why do you want to announce the concubines to enter the palace?" ”

The emperor looked at me and was silent, I only felt that my whole body was as cold as frost: "Why did the emperor bring his concubines to this pilgrimage temple?" Unruly and unruly, the emperor is so worried about the Yun family? Worried about keeping me in the palace as a hostage? Does the emperor want his concubines to see the defeat of King Jing with his own eyes, so as to warn his concubines? ”

The emperor gave me a cold look: "You think too much. ”

"Really?" I smiled sadly, "The concubine can't stop thinking about it. The emperor took great pains to arrange this bitter plan, just to confuse King Jing, if it wasn't for a snow wolf king out of the sky, I was afraid that the emperor would still be sick, so sick that when King Jing and the Nine Kings were both defeated, he would come out again......"

"Presumptuous!" The emperor shouted sharply, and when he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and a little scarlet stained his chest. I was taken aback, I didn't care about fighting with him, I hurriedly ran up the golden steps, took out a silk scarf and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips helplessly: "Your Majesty, you ...... The concubines asked them to pass on the imperial doctor......"

He grabbed my hand violently, and the force was surprisingly strong, and my wrist hurt vividly: "No, I can't let people know at this time......"

"But......" His pale face shook before my eyes, and I frowned. Seeing my flustered appearance, the emperor actually smiled slightly, and said softly: "I have medicine in my arms, you help me take it out." ”

"Oh......" I hurriedly put my hand into the placket of his robe, reached for a hard object, and took out a jade vase carved from white jade, "Is this it?" Seeing him nodding, I hurriedly uncorked the bottle: "How many grains?" ”

"One grain." The Emperor said softly. I poured out a medicine from the bottle, it was a round pill the size of a golden broad bean, twisted it and looked around, a little embarrassed: "There is no water in the palace......

"No water." The emperor coughed softly, and I quickly brought the pill to his lips, and he opened his mouth to hold it, closed his eyes, and his throat moved slightly, and for a moment, he slowly opened his eyes. I whispered, "I feel better." ”

The emperor nodded, and I sighed, put the jade bottle on the cork, and put it back in his arms as usual. I raised my eyes and saw him looking at me silently, and bit my lip: "I'm sorry, the concubine doesn't know about the emperor's injury......"

"Your surname, where can you hold back if you are wronged?" The emperor smiled disapprovingly and sneered, "It's not because I hurt you that I dare to be so presumptuous." ”

"I ......" I didn't expect the emperor to say it so bluntly, and I couldn't say anything to refute it for a while. He was right, if he didn't know that he had a little place in his heart, a selfish and cowardly person like me would not dare to confront him in front of him. But he was indeed wronged in his heart, he repeatedly tested the Yun family and me, no matter how I guaranteed that the Yun family would please him, he still couldn't believe us. Although he may not have imagined the profound impact of the excessive concentration of wealth on the country's economy and politics now, with the sensitivity peculiar to a superior person, he really cannot tolerate a family that has nurtured generations of kings to ascend to the throne. As long as he is jealous of the Yun family for a day, he will make a move against the Yun family sooner or later, and when the day comes, what should I do? Frightened and frightened for a moment, I lowered my eyelids and suppressed the fear.

"You're right." The emperor was speechless, took a long breath, and said slowly, "King Jing took great pains to design to harm the clouds, that is, to bet that I would use the Protector Shending to send Maha to take my surname. I will plan and play this bitter trick with him, I really want to lure out the hidden forces in the DPRK and China that intend to touch the throne, and catch them all, but I didn't expect that the border pass will change, and a snow wolf king will be killed in the sky, if I don't return to the palace to make a decision, I am afraid that the country will be sold by King Jing's dog thief. ”

"The emperor really wants to fight this battle with the Snow Wolf King?" My heart tightened, "The Snow Wolf King has already amassed troops on the north bank of Yushui, and it is close to the Jingshi, if they get the news and kill them......"

"You can't kill it." The emperor shook his head, his gaze was cold, "It's like a powerful arrow shot in the air, it can't fly in the air forever, and at this time, that arrow is no longer able to move forward." Those fools in the DPRK and China who can't see the situation clearly advocate peace, and if I don't come forward, they will be misled by them. ”

"Why is the emperor so sure?" I looked at him puzzled and reminded, "Although the wolf cavalry is a long journey to the outskirts of Beijing, but unlike the enemies that the emperor has encountered before, they are fierce and brutal, and even the brave and warlike steppe cavalry is not in his eyes. Now that they have hit the hinterland of the Tiancao Kingdom, there is no problem of logistics to replenish themselves, their wolf warriors are said to be all feeding on the dead bodies of captives, and the property of the people living in the vast land north of Yushui has just become their self-replenishment. The arrogance of the Snow Wolf King is not unreasonable. ”

Because I was worried about the situation of Danny's siblings returning to China, I asked An Yuanxi to send someone to find out the truth about the extermination of the Marti clan, and it was also related to the Snow Wolf King. The emperor smiled and said lightly, "On the surface, it is true. But what do you think the Snow Wolf King can rely on to fight all the way to the north bank of Yushui as if he was in a no-man's land? ”

"Wolf cavalry, of course." I blurted out, my heart lit up, and I seemed to faintly understand the emperor's intentions, "The emperor wants to ......"

The emperor smiled coldly: "Yes, they are relying on wolf cavalry. But if the cavalry has no mounts, won't my Tiancao Kingdom win this battle? "I was stunned. The emperor said coldly: "The wolf warriors of the wolf cavalry are all from the snow fields of the year-round glaciers, how can they have suffered the scorching summer heat of my Tiancao country, these words have been damaged a lot because of the water and soil, and it is already the ultimate of the snow wolf king to hit the north bank of Yushui." They think that the farther they fight, the better, when they have no wolf warriors, the vast land north of Yushui is exactly where they are buried, if our soldiers are flanked back and forth, they will have nowhere to escape, I want to let the wolf warriors and cavalry of the Snow Wolf King, none of them go back, and they will all be buried for the soldiers who died in my Tiancao country! ”

His cold expression and the ferocity in his eyes made me shudder. I didn't expect the emperor to secretly find out the situation of the wolf cavalry so clearly, but I was afraid that after seeing the wolf smoke in the northern Xinjiang, he had quickly made an investigation and secretly deployed, where was it not appropriate to take it seriously like King Jing. Comparing the two, I can't help but sigh, although King Jing is scheming and acting viciously and unscrupulously, when it comes to thoughtfulness, it is far from catching up with the far-sighted emperor in front of him. Thinking of this, I can already be sure that in tonight's palace change, the emperor has taken the lead, and King Jing is afraid that he has no chance of winning at all.
