Chapter 368: Concealment
The dim candle flame danced gently.
As if he refused to give up.
The huge dragon bed was so empty, and there was only a small area where people were lying.
Luo Chen sat on the footstool beside the bed, listening to his father's teachings with his eyebrows lowered.
Emperor Qinglong has been sober more and more in the past few days.
Sometimes it's three or five hours, sometimes it's one or two.
At any time, as soon as he woke up, he would definitely call Luo Chen to the bedside. One after another, he told him some things that he had to control as an emperor.
"Senshokaku...... I was wrong. I thought I could make them disappear...... It's me...... Wrong. The Emperor coughed softly, and there seemed to be something in his throat that could not go up or down, and made a purring sound.
Luo Chen lightly took a bowl of ginseng soup, took a spoon and fed it patiently. Let the emperor go smoothly.
"That Senshokaku...... If you have the chance, you don't have to stay. The emperor reluctantly swallowed the ginseng soup and exhaled deeply.
Luo Chen looked at the ginseng slices swirling in the ginseng soup, and said lightly: "What is the relationship between the Qiu family and the royal family?" â
The emperor couldn't suppress his cough, and looked at Luo Chen with a faint look in his eyes: "You don't have to think about this, just get rid of the Thousand Shou Pavilion." â
Luo Chen raised his eyes, and his eyes were full of cold glimmers: "Father, so far, what is there to hide from your sons?" â
The emperor's originally sloppy eyes burst out with a terrifying murderous aura in an instant, staring at Luo Chen deadly.
"If you are told to do it, you will do it. There's never a day when I can feel at ease. After roaring, he couldn't help but lower his head and coughed.
Luo Chen smiled mockingly at the corner of his mouth: "Father doesn't have to choose his son to carry this burden, any of the younger brothers below can do it, why did he choose his son." â
The emperor's coughing face turned red, and when he heard Luo Chen's words, he beat the side of the bed angrily: "Who do you say such frustrating words, you are my son, and I will give it to you when I say it to you." â
Luo Chen raised his eyes and looked directly at the emperor, with no emotion in his eyes: "Holy King Mausoleum, what is the secret of the ulterior, right?" â
At the mention of the Holy King's Mausoleum, the emperor's flushed face turned pale in an instant.
How did he know about that place?
Luo Chen gently stirred the ginseng soup and said lightly: "Yanping Zhi has a picture in his hand, Erchen thought he was hiding something good, but who knows, it turned out to be a mausoleum." â
The emperor pinched the corners of the quilt tightly and looked at Luo Chen nervously: "What do you know?" â
Luo Chen smiled coldly: "The father might as well tell the minister, what does the father know."
Although Zuo Jichuan did not explain it in detail, or said that he deliberately concealed something. Luo Chen could see it clearly. As a prince, what he learned from childhood was to observe words and feelings. What expressions and what words and meanings of the other party are all familiar to me since childhood.
Zuo Jichuan didn't say it, there was only one reason, that is, he knew about this matter, and he would have a very big reaction.
Mu Lao is still staying in the Holy King's Mausoleum, if you can ask Mu Lao, you can understand everything. But he flew a pigeon to pass the book to Mu Lao, and the response he got was to go with the flow. This kind of reaction is not common on Mu Lao's side.
Then, this matter must be involved in the royal family.
Zuo Jichuan and Mu Lao didn't say it, because it must be a family affair of Luo Chen's family. There is no reason for outsiders to point fingers.
The person who hides the biggest secret must be the one who sits in the highest position.
At first, Luo Chen didn't notice anything wrong. But the emperor actually approved the king of Tongjiang to exterminate the Qianshou Pavilion. At this time, Luo Chen felt that something was wrong.
The imperial court and the rivers and lakes have never interfered with each other. It's like two parallel worlds.
But this time, the emperor gave an order to destroy the Thousand Shou Pavilion. This is tantamount to stepping on the bottom line of the Jianghu organization invisibly, once this fuse is lit, the subsequent situation is very likely to be unimaginable.
Emperor, how could he not have thought of this. If you really ignore it, then it is impossible to save the zĂ i rivers and lakes. If you are an emperor, you should hold the country in your hands. It shouldn't have been formed in the first place. Once it's formed, you just have to leave it there and let it develop freely. As long as you don't provoke the bottom line of the court, you will be fine.
But after so many years of silence, why did the emperor suddenly change his style.
The corners of Luo Chen's mouth curled slightly, if he said that his father had to toss blindly during menopause, he would never believe it.
The emperor was a little uncomfortable by Luo Chen's clear gaze, and leaned against the cushion with a detached face.
"The father didn't want to say it, so the son didn't ask more. If the son finds out anything by himself, please ask his father not to ask. Luo Chen's tone was light, but there was an insurmountable gap.
The emperor frowned, this is not a child's play. If it is really investigated, it will shake the foundation of the country.
Luo Chen even found the Holy King's Tomb, if Qianshou Pavilion also found it, it would be the doom of the Shang Kingdom.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the emperor's spirit was obviously not good. Luo Chen respectfully got up to say goodbye, there were still a bunch of things waiting for him to deal with outside.
As soon as he walked out of the dormitory, he saw the queen with a sad face waiting in the main hall.
"How? How is your father's health? "Not to mention other princes, even the queen is also turned away.
Luo Chen lowered his head and straightened his cuffs, and said lightly: "Father is still the same. â
The queen's eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously, how could this be done, there were not a few people staring at the throne with fierce eyes. She has already received the news that the old seven and eight are ready to move in the fiefdom. If the emperor's mountain mausoleum collapses, there may be something to do.
"The queen mother doesn't have to worry too much, the father knows the most in his heart." Luo Chen held the queen's shoulders and led her to the outside of the Qingliang Palace.
The queen was a little reluctant, but because her posture had to remain noble and elegant, she had to follow Luo Chen out.
"The old seven and eight have not stopped very much lately." The queen thought it would be better to remind her son.
Luo Chen smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the two of them, the son is not in his eyes." â
As the so-called literati rebelled for ten years, it is not that the literati are too weak, but that if they read too many books, they will think too much. It's easy to miss out on just thinking about these and that.
The old seven and eight are all decent people, if they really had that idea of rebellion, they would not have endured it until now.
Although waiting for a good time is also a good way to retreat, Luo Chen can still see whether it is really retreating or not having the courage at all.
After sending the queen back to Qingluan Palace, Luo Chen went directly to the council room.
The third prince had been waiting there with a stack of folds for a long time.
"Let's see, it's all written to rescue King Tongjiang's father and son." To say that Tongjiang King does have a lot of popularity. Perhaps in the hearts of the people, one is the most famous general who opened up the territory and expanded the territory, and the other is the most famous Geng loyal minister with clean sleeves.
It is widely praised.
Luo Chen took those folds and glanced at them symbolically, and threw them aside nonchalantly: "Okay, let these people bring people to save themselves." â
The third prince was stunned for a moment, and looked at Luo Chen in confusion: "Brother, are you ...... Feeling bad? â
Luo Chen's attitude of ignoring it is too familiar to him, and he is completely breaking the jar.
Fiddling with this brush in his hand, Luo Chen's eyes were slightly empty: "It's really not very good......
The third prince pulled a chair and sat down: "Come to think of it, you can't really let these people lead troops to rescue King Tongjiang." â
Just kidding, where is Senshokaku so easy to handle. Not to mention that these old men are all greenhouse vases with good mouths, even if they are a little bold, if they are really sent to Qiu Gaoling to play, I am afraid that it will not be enough to plug their teeth.
Luo Chen looked at the brush in his hand, still thinking about what Zuo Jichuan and Mu Lao had hidden at the same time. It must be very strict that the two of them will keep it a secret together.
The Nine Emperors walked in with a dark arrow sleeve, and before they could enter the house, they shouted with their heads: "I heard that the old seven and eight are going to rebel." â
Before the third prince could drink a bowl of tea, he almost spilled it out in his mouth. What do you mean by hearing that there is going to be a rebellion? The two of them were so far away in the fiefdom, even if they wanted to rebel, it would be impossible to fight in the capital so quickly.
After experiencing a rebellion by the six princes, the three princes said that there was nothing new about the rebellion.
Everyone wants to fight for interests that don't belong to them, but even if you have the life to stretch out your hand, you have to have the life to enjoy it.
One visit to the capital was enough to discourage many rebels.
You must know that General Zhenguo has not drawn his sword for many years since he came to Yeping. Whoever wants to see and learn, then rush over with no fate.
In addition, a natural martial arts practitioner is more than one step higher than others.
If the family only has brute strength, it will not make people so guarded. Coincidentally, they still have brains.
That's the trickiest part.
"Let's rebel, save the second brother and have to clean them up." The Nine Emperors pouted, and he didn't want to see the seven brothers and eight brothers who lived in distant fiefdoms.
The seventh and eighth were originally not noble, and none of the biological mothers were concubines. They are not as smart as Luo Chen and their ice and snow when learning things. The Nine Emperor Princes did not like to see them and were not willing to play with them.
went to the fiefdom early, but from a certain point of view, it can be regarded as protecting the seventh prince and the eighth prince from being involved in the conflict between brothers.
The third prince can be regarded as relatively weak. But even so, no one dared to touch him.
The Nine Emperors have always been naughty, and the code of conduct is to act in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes. It's stress-free to kill a person.
What's more, Luo Chen is sitting in the middle, and if he wants to get rid of Luo Chen, he really has to fight for IQ.
Born cautious and careful not to say, the character is not good. If he really found out that they were cheating on him, death would be a trivial matter.
The emperor didn't just decide which prince to stay in the capital based on his personal preferences. If it were that simple, there would be no problem of taking the heir. R1152
