Chang'an City, in the Imperial City, in the Yaqian'an Palace, at the beginning of the shift, there are two rows of large candles as thick as children's arms in the palace, which illuminates the dormitory as if it were daytime. Qian'an Hall is the palace where the emperor rests between the general affairs and rests in his daily life, so it is also called the palace of the Son of Heaven.

At this moment, when the Zi Yuan Bao Torch is leaning on the dragon collapse and closing his eyes to recuperate, since he has been on the throne for ten years, he has never felt so tired, his temples have already turned white, his face is full of wrinkles, and his eyes are bloated and dark, it can be seen that this is the result of years of insomnia and anxiety. It is also true that when Yuan Baoju was young, he was resolute in the Congo, and in the Zhengguang period, he conspired with Emperor Xiaoming to kill Empress Xuanwuling and her traitors, but he was dismissed from office because of the leakage of the matter, and in the third year of Yongxi (534), he supported and followed Emperor Xiaowu Yuan Xiuxi to enter the Guanxi and so on. And now that he is old and frail, he has lost the sharpness of the year, and in the face of Yuwentai's aggressiveness, he first made Queen Yifu commit suicide because of the pain of the Rouran army, and then he saw that almost all the power in the court was controlled by Yuwentai, and the royal forces that followed into the customs were digested by Yuwentai.

Suddenly, a burst of footsteps sounded in the palace, and under the greeting of an old eunuch, a young man in exquisite clothes walked over, looked at the emperor who was closing his eyes and recuperating, and bowed respectfully and said: "Erchen Yuanqin pays a visit to his father, and wishes his father a long life and good health——"

Yuan Bao Ju, who was resting, immediately opened his eyes, and when he saw that it was his son, the current crown prince Yuanqin, he gently held his hand, "Get up-".

Hearing this, Yuan Qin slowly stood up and said respectfully: "Father, my son-in-law heard that you were suffering from the cold, and specially came to bring you good ginseng to replenish your body, you also have to take care of your dragon body!" ”

Yuan Bao Ju waved his hand, sighing, "Alas, people are old, and now the sick are coming to the door, think about the previous emperors of the Great Wei Imperial Family have not lived past fifty years old, presumably I will be in the past few years." ”

Yuan Qin was a little teary-eyed after hearing this, knelt down again, and choked up: "Father and Emperor have no borders, and it will definitely be fine." ”

Yuan Bao Torch is also a person who has experienced the war, on the battlefield, life and death are just a matter between a line, and now he has long looked down on life and death, but when he saw his son kneeling in front of his knees and crying, his nose couldn't help but be sore, and the corners of his eyes were moistened, "Alas, idiot, idiot." Saying that, he quickly stroked Yuan Qin's bun, at this time he was more like an ordinary father who loved his son, where could he see that he was a current son.

I saw that after Yuan Bao Ju helped Yuan Qin, who was kneeling and crying, he turned his head and said to the old eunuch on the side and the rest of the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving: "Grandpa Zhang, you all go down, by the way, it is forbidden for people to approach within a hundred meters——"

When the old eunuch, that is, Gonggong Zhang, heard this, he hurriedly bowed, "Our family obeys the order." After saying that, he led all his followers to retreat.

After all the eunuchs and palace maids retreated, Yuan Baoju carefully looked at his son's face for a moment, and a kind smile appeared on his face: "Silly boy, my father will not fall so easily, and you will have to wait for you to hone and mature a little more before you can be blinded." Did you go to the Yuanshang Mansion today to see Wang Sizheng? How did he reply? ”

Yuan Qin recovered his emotions, nodded and said happily: "Father Qi, the son not only met General Wang, but also communicated with him for a long time, General Wang also promised that as long as we kill Yuwentai, he will definitely raise troops in Hongnong to support us at that time, and he will also persuade the Hedong clan to stand on our side, and at that time the power of the court can return to our Yuan clan and return to the hands of my father." ”

After hearing this, Yuan Baoju did not have the same joy as Prince Yuanqin, but had a sense of helplessness in the troubled times, which made His Royal Highness the Prince on the side really not understand, isn't it a good thing that Wang Sizheng is willing to support the royal family?

"Alas, my father, your grandfather, Emperor Wenjing, once launched a rebellion in Jizhou because he was dissatisfied with his cousin Gao Zhao's power and government, but he was finally defeated and captured, and was finally killed by Gao Zhao. Later, when I was young, I conspired with Emperor Xiaoming to kill Empress Xuanwuling and her traitors, and was finally dismissed because of the leakage of the matter, and now that your generation is facing such problems, I don't know if this assassination of Yuwentai was successful, and if it fails, will it bring disaster to the Yuan royal family? It's really unpredictable -

Qin'er, are you sure that this plan will not be leaked? Secondly, did the group of dead soldiers who were secretly raised really not leak out? You didn't reveal your identity yourself, did you? ”

Yuan Qin saw his father's worried expression, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Father is indeed old, and the hero is late!" But he was still a little disapproving, "Father, rest assured, all matters are arranged in the name of Yuan Shangshu, and the child is only secretly controlled, except for meeting General Wang Sizheng Wang, the rest of the tasks are controlled by Yuan Shangshu alone, including meeting with the Guanxi Hao clan, the Hedong clan and the other three Zhuguo generals." ”

"That's good, that's good, don't reveal your identity, otherwise my father and son will be in danger."

Yuan Qin was confused by his father's cautious attitude, and suddenly felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, but after all, he loved his biological father and was also concerned about his kindness, so he had to comfort: "Father rest assured, everything is under control, Yuwentai's old thief will definitely die, and then the power will return to the hands of his father, and his father will reign over the world-" In fact, he still has something in his heart to say, after a hundred years of his father, his sons will uphold his father's will, reorganize the Great Wei Dynasty, and rule the world......

Yuan Bao Ju was not interested in this at all, but showed a worried look, "Alas, I don't care if I am the king of the world, I just hope that you two brothers can be safe, Yuwentai This person I have been with him for many years, this person is by no means a reckless man like Er Zhurong, such as Sun Wu, cunning like Cao Wei, do not underestimate him, even Gao Huan is helpless against him, you must know that the general of the Zhu State who had the same prestige as him back then is now about to be hollowed out, and the means are good." ”

Yuan Qin scoffed at this, sneered beside him, and said disdainfully: "Father, now it's not whether we want to do this, but we have to do it, otherwise our father and son will die and have no place to be buried, and my father actually knows about Yuwentai, a traitor, so do you think he will let us go when he usurps the throne?" This ruthless traitor will slaughter our royal family—"

Hearing this, Yuan Bao Ju fell silent and did not speak again......

......

Also in a quiet mansion in Chang'an City, it was late at night, and outside the window was a round moon, hanging in the silent, deep and slightly cold night sky, the cold breath had not yet dissipated, giving people a cold, proud, and somewhat desolate feeling.

Outside the window, the wind is biting, but inside the window is the heating, an adult man is sitting on a Hu bed, in front of him is a pile of burning charcoal, I saw that he is dignified, extraordinary, holding a book and looking quietly, and a middle-aged man next to him is sitting respectfully on the side, peeking at the man from the corner of his eye from time to time, seems to be a little restrained.

At this moment, a staff member dressed as a scribe came over and bowed to the adult man reading in front of him: "The subordinates visited the Prime Minister, according to the detailed report, Yuan Lie met with Wang Sizheng, and I don't know what they talked about, because the last two of them broke away from all the subordinates and took precautions, so the detailed work could not be inquired about for the time being, but according to our latent detailed report, the group of dead soldiers who were raised have been frequently transferred recently, and some of Hu Sichun's former subordinate generals have also moved, The subordinates felt that they were planning some ulterior conspiracy, and the prime minister had to guard against it. ”

"Well, what's the palace doing lately?" This adult man is Yu Wentai, he didn't look up, continued to stare at the book, and asked lightly, so that people couldn't see his joys, sorrows, and sorrows at all, as if he was chatting about family life.

The staff was stunned for a moment, and glanced at each other with the middle-aged man on the side, but saw that the middle-aged man shook his head and said that he didn't know. ”

Yuwentai let out an "oh" after hearing this, put the book down, then looked at the staff and asked, "Sick?" Are you sure? ”

The staff respectfully bowed his hand and said: "My subordinates don't dare to deceive, I heard the people in the palace say that today's son is indeed cold today-"

Yu Wentai snorted after hearing this, "Seeing is believing, don't just hear, after the Son of Heaven fell ill, did His Royal Highness Yuan Qin come to the palace to visit?" ”

The staff was stunned for a moment, and replied with a little doubt: "I did go to the palace to visit, I went in at the beginning of tonight, and then I rested in the palace, which is the same in the past."

"Yuan Lie met Wang Sizheng today, and when his son was cold today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to the palace to visit him and do his filial piety..... Interesting, it seems to be quite hidden. Yu Wentai smiled and said to himself

After hearing this, the middle-aged man on the side seemed to ask with some understanding: "Uncle, do you suspect that the father and son in the palace are also involved in Yuan Lie's conspiracy?" ”

Yuwentai smiled faintly, "Sabao (Yuwenhu), sometimes to judge the truth of a thing, you have to deduce the process from the result, no matter what the result is, then the father and son are the biggest beneficiaries, although there is no evidence to prove whether they are accomplices or not, but what does it matter?" Isn't it important to us? ”

Yuwen Hu laughed, nodded and said: "It's true that as my uncle said, it doesn't matter to us whether it is or not, should we take this opportunity to directly ...... father and son" Saying that, Yuwen Hu made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Yuwentai glared at him and reprimanded: "Nonsense, the time has not come, don't mess around, now there are many hostile forces lurking in the court, and there are external enemies such as Gao Huan outside, at this time, our execution will definitely cause the dissatisfaction of the courtiers, do you want to make the government unstable at this moment?" Anyway, they won't be able to make any big waves, so let's keep it for now......"

After Yuwen Hu was reprimanded by Yuwen Tai, he laughed a few times in embarrassment......
