Zhao Zhi looked at Mu Gong and said lightly: "The prince actually wants to blackmail me through Lei Wanhai, do you think it's ridiculous?" ”

The shepherd said softly: "The prince just wants to meet the emperor. ”

"Why did I see him?"

Mu Gong said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked to see him several times, but His Majesty has never seen him, no matter whether it is right or wrong, His Majesty should give the Crown Prince a chance to explain." ”

"What else is there to explain?"

Zhao Zhi said: "Could it be that Mu Gong thinks that the matter of the Wing King has nothing to do with the crown prince? ”

The shepherd lowered his head: "Such a big thing, the old slave doesn't dare to speculate." ”

Zhao Zhi closed his eyes and fell into silence, while Mu Gong kept his head down and remained silent.

After a long while, Zhao Zhi suddenly spoke: "How is Zhao He's condition?" ”

It has been almost twenty days since the poisoning of the Wing King Zhao He, and it is strange that from beginning to end, Zhao Zhi has always been quite indifferent to the severity of Zhao He's condition, and has not asked, but it is the beginning of the matter, the prince Zhao Xun was summoned, and he was severely reprimanded, but the reason for the reprimand was not Zhao He's poisoning, but the fact that the prince had been in charge of the country in recent months, the government affairs were not clear, and the government was chaotic.

Zhao Zhi is such a person, feminine and tactful, making it difficult for people to touch his pulse.

Mu Gong hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Still unconscious, although the poison was eliminated and his life was saved, he still left the root cause, and His Royal Highness the Wing King will ..... I'm afraid I won't be able to continue the offspring..."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhi's eyes opened, his face had a gloomy color, and he was silent for a moment before he said lightly: "You can pretend to be asleep if you don't wake up, but how to hide your illness?" If Zhao Hezhen was born after death, such courage and courage would also impress me, but how many people in the world dare to ignore their own life and death? Zhao He has the courage to do this? Even if I was vying for the throne back then..."

Mu Gong knelt down suddenly, intending to speak to Zhao Zhi: "Your Majesty, you are father and son, knowing the son is Mo Ruo's father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is by no means such a vicious person. ”

Zhao Zhi summoned the crown prince Zhao Xun before, although he did not mention Zhao He's poisoning, but afterwards, he was extremely angry, in other words, I hate brothers the most in my life, and cause trouble to Xiao Wall, but some things, how can family affection be all right, just like Zhao Zhi back then, didn't he also step on his many brothers to ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan? Behind the endless wealth, how many people can understand the cruelty? All dynasties, not to mention all, but many emperors just ascended the throne, the first thing to deal with is not others, often their own blood brothers, Zhao Zhi is so angry, maybe he has experienced it, so he doesn't want his heirs to follow his old path, sometimes, the saddest thing, you have to do, and beautiful things, you are difficult to have.

Zhao Zhi was silent again, and after a while, he sighed and said: "It's father and son, and it's also a monarch and minister, I'm teaching him, if the straight road doesn't work, don't go hard, although the path is difficult, but it can reach the end in the end, but it takes more effort, he is now the prince, and I help him to carry it, he will ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, if he still behaves like this, maybe he will be played by the courtiers between applause." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhi closed his eyes again and said lightly: "For the emperor, you should overcome rigidity with softness, balance left and right, convince people with virtue, rule the country by law, morality is not through the law, law is not through virtue, if virtue and law are not clear, it is a faint king, and you will lose your own country." ”

Mu Gong reminded: "Lei Wanhai is still in Tongzhou. ”

Zhao Zhi chuckled and said: "I will teach the prince a lesson, let the prince understand that what he does and what others don't do, Mu Gong, you look at it, someone will jump out soon, wait to see a good show." ”

Mu Gong didn't speak, glanced at Zhao Zhi, and saw that there was a tired look on his face, so he stepped forward and helped Zhao Zhi to lie on the bed.

Then, Mu Gong went out of the inner room and saw that Liu Congxi was not far away, exchanging words with several eunuchs and palace maids, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Godfather, you are old, is Your Majesty okay?"

Liu Congxi saw Mu Gong come out, hurriedly walked over, and asked with a smile. Weichang

Mu Gong didn't speak, and stared at Liu Congxi quietly, the latter was furious in his heart, and couldn't help laughing dryly: "Why does Godfather look at me like this?" ”

Only then did the shepherd speak: "You are now the chief manager, you should be very busy." ”

Liu Congxi said with a smile: "The emperor has eaten very little in the past few days, and my son specially asked the imperial dining room to prepare some superb bird's nest to replenish the emperor's body." ”

"It seems that you are very considerate of the emperor."

"This is natural, everything about my son is rewarded by the emperor, for the emperor is for himself."

Mu Gong smiled and said meaningfully: "Yes, for the emperor is for himself, but in this order... You can't turn it upside down. ”

Liu Congxi was happy in his heart and said yes again and again.

Subsequently, Liu Congxi said goodbye and left.

Mu Gong stood there in contemplation for a moment, then raised his head and looked at an old eunuch not far away, who walked slowly over.

Mu Gong asked in a low voice, "How is Wang Anmao's situation recently?"

The old eunuch said in a low voice: "Wang Anmao has been very honest recently, and he has been staying in the forbidden army and rarely goes out. ”

"Send a message, and I will see him."

"Yes."

The old eunuch bowed and turned to leave.

Looking at the back of the old eunuch leaving, Mu Gong fell into contemplation again, and after a long time, he sighed: "I hope this scene will not be played too much." ”

Wing King's Mansion.

Today's sun is good, not too strong, and some breeze blows from time to time, if you move a chair to sit outside, it is also comfortable, Zhao He is like this at this time, he is half lying on the bench, his eyes are closed, his face is very pale, bloodless, he used to be slightly fat, in just more than 20 days, he lost dozens of pounds, and the whole person looks skinny and not human.

There was a sound of footsteps from far to near, and two men in their thirties walked into the courtyard.

One of these two people is Zhao Dezhao and the other is Zhao Bolin, both of whom are Zhao He's most trusted confidants.

Zhao Dezhao glanced at Zhao He, and then whispered a few words to the housekeeper beside him, the housekeeper nodded, waved his hand to the left and right, and then left with the subordinates who were waiting on the side, leaving only Zhao He and the other three.

The two came to Zhao He and sat down, silently, waiting silently.

This was nearly two hours, until the sky gradually dusk, a gust of wind blew, and Zhao He in his sleep subconsciously moved, Zhao Dezhao hurriedly picked up the thin blanket on the side and covered Zhao He.

Zhao He woke up slowly, and when he saw Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Bolin, a smile appeared on his face, and he said in a weak and low voice: "You are here." ”
