From ancient times to the present, when the emperor is faced with the problem of establishing a prince, he is often the most reluctant to encounter two extreme situations.

One is like Emperor Liu Bei of Zhaolie, the heirs are full of mediocre people, picking and picking, and they can't find a decent candidate, so they have no choice but to pull out a tall one and elect a gentleman like Liu Chan.

The second is like Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, whose sons are very good, and at first glance it seems that it is no problem to choose anyone, but in fact, neither choice can completely convince the public, and it is easy to form a situation of brothers and sisters and fratricide.

This can really be described as a drought of drought and a waterlogging death.

For Liu Yu, the elderly Emperor of Wei, at the moment, in the matter of establishing a prince, what is in front of him is likely to be the second situation.

Although the eldest prince Liu Ling has been riddled with illness, he is known as a virtuous name among the people, and if he succeeds to the throne, it is very likely to follow the story of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, rule by inaction, and live with the people.

The second prince Liu Huan and Liu Yu have the most similar personalities, both civil and military, ambitious, highly respected by the ministers, and will definitely be an enterprising lord in the future.

The third prince, Liu Yu, is even more steady, deeply loved by Liu Yu, and has already shown extraordinary political talent before the weak crown, and in recent years, the errands ordered by Liu Yu have been handled in an orderly manner.

Obviously, the current three candidates for the prince of Great Wei are undoubtedly very good, so even the self-proclaimed Wei Emperor Liu Yu is difficult to make a decision for a while.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Liu Yu is not Li Yuan, and there is no second Li Shimin among his sons, and his supreme authority is still unshakable.

But at this time, the stack of thick confessions placed on the dragon book case in the imperial study made Liu Yu feel a sense of crisis again.

It has been two days since his third son was assassinated on the street, although he was finally spared, but this matter is far from over for Liu Yu, as long as the truth is not revealed, all kinds of speculation around this major case of rebellion will be like a dark cloud hanging over his head, and it will not be dispersed for a long time.

The old emperor once again picked up a confession in front of him, glanced at the four big words "remnants of the previous dynasty" that appeared repeatedly on it, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

Cao Yuxiang, the chief supervisor of ceremonies, held a pair of dinner plates in his hands at this time, and quietly walked in from outside the imperial study, he slowly came to Emperor Wei's side, and reminded softly:

"Master, it's time to eat, the dragon body is important, and it doesn't hurt to see the confession later."

Liu Yu came back to his senses from the long exam, he threw his confession aside, bowed his head slightly to Cao Yuxiang, and said casually:

"You godson, you did a good job."

Hearing the emperor praise his godson so much, normal people would have been overjoyed, but Cao Yuxiang has served by Liu Yu's side all the year round, and has already cultivated a skill that is invisible, I saw him carefully put down the plate, not only did he not have a trace of a smile on his face, but said respectfully:

"It's the duty of slaves and maids to do things honestly, Xiao Quanzi just did some internal things, how can he afford to be so loved by His Majesty."

Liu Yu was noncommittal to Cao Yuxiang's words, he sighed and continued:

"He can stand it. Hey~~~~~~ the kids have grown up, we're all getting old, it's time for them to take on a little more of the burden. ”

When Cao Yuxiang heard this, he hurriedly bowed down, and said in a panicked voice:

"Why did the master say this, the master is a true dragon and a fairy-like character, how can he be compared with ordinary people like slaves and maids?!"

Liu Yu also realized the ambiguity in his words, and he laughed and waved his hand, signaling that Cao Yuxiang didn't need to be so nervous.

"Hahahaha, you old thing, you can be clever and clever, but it's a pity that there are three more true dragon emperors like me, there are still three in this world......"

After laughing for a while, Liu Yu only felt that his mood eased slightly, and brought up the topic of Fang Cai again.

"I remember, this little whole child seems to have a real name, right?"

"Back to the master's words, Xiao Quanzi did have a real name before entering the palace, called Zhao Quan, but this kid doesn't know how, he just doesn't like this name, and then he made his own opinion, changed a word, and changed the original complete to the right to change."

Liu Yu nodded and said:

"The right to change in response to the times, see the shape and the appropriate, this name has been changed well."

As if he had suddenly remembered something, he sighed again:

"I've always been kind to the old people, but now that I think about it, maybe I've indulged them too much, huh....... You let Zhao Quan continue to take on the errand of the Imperial Horse Division, and tell him that this time he will uproot this group of remnants for me, if the errand is done effectively...... The eunuchs who are the celebrant are all old, and it is time to replace them with one or two young and vigorous ones. ”

Cao Yuxiang just got up from the ground and didn't say a word, and after hearing the meaning of the old emperor's words, he had to hurriedly kneel down again to thank him.

As soon as his knees touched the ground, Liu Yu suddenly shouted to stop him.

"Don't be busy with Shane yet, if he lets go of one and a half of them, it won't be useful to change the name no matter how good it is."

According to the etiquette system in the palace, the emperor asked you not to kneel, you must stand, otherwise it is a protest, so when Liu Yu said the sentence "Don't be busy thanking you first", Cao Yuxiang, who had already knelt on the ground, could only stand up first and listen to the second half of the old emperor's words, and then kneel down to re-receive the decree.

However, for Cao Yuxiang, this time his godson finally left a good impression on the emperor, and his godfather also had a bright face, so even if he was asked to kneel back and forth for an hour, he was willing, of course, provided that his old bones half cut into the ground could carry it.

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he finally focused on the meal in front of him, he picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of pastry from a plate made of sterling silver, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

Maybe it's because today's pastries don't have a good appetite, or maybe it's because Fang Cai's good mood has run out, Liu Yucai only ate two pastries, poof

Dropped the chopsticks again.

After wiping his mouth with a brocade pass, he picked up his confession again, wanting to continue to find the answer he longed for in the pile of words.

In fact, Liu Yu didn't believe the so-called revenge of the remnants of the previous dynasty in his heart, because at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, those who really had the ability to respond to every call had already been killed by him.

Even if there are a few fish left that slip through the net, they are just a group of lonely ghosts, and if there is no one behind them to support them, these people alone will not be able to make any waves.

What's more, if they really have a bitter hatred and a great desire to restore the country, if they don't do it sooner or later, they will have to wait until all these years have passed, and wait until Dawei has completely established himself before they do it?

Therefore, Liu Yu can conclude that these so-called remnants of the previous dynasty were only used by people with ill intentions.

And who the man with the sword was was what he really wanted to explore at the moment......

———————————————————————————————————————

"Uh~~~~~~"

A painful groan rang in my ears, and I suddenly opened my eyes to find myself lying on a soft and comfortable bed.

And that dry and hoarse voice just now came from my own mouth.

I tried to get up from the bed so that I could see where I was, but as soon as I exerted the slightest effort, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, and after a few attempts, I completely dispelled this thought.

In desperation, I had to continue to lie flat on the bed, trying to find the origin of my current situation in a chaotic mind.

I don't remember much about the scene before I fell into a coma, but I vaguely remember that I struggled to push the third prince away, and then I had a long dream.

In the dream, my long-dead father, my mother, and my little sister appeared.

There was goose feathers and heavy snow outside the house, and our family of four sat around the fire as usual, drinking tea and talking.

My father asked us what our ambitions were when we grew up, and my little sister said that he wanted to marry a wishful husband and live a plain life. I still laughed at her for being unproductive, and said that I wanted to be a general in the future.

My father didn't say anything, just looked at us and smiled.

This time, he didn't pick up the flask and didn't leave the house......

"Hey, what a good dream, why wake up?"

Before I knew it, a tear slipped from the corner of my eye, and for a moment I just felt like duckweed, with nowhere to go.

"Childe, are you awake?"

Just as I was about to close my eyes and return to my dreams to be with my family, a delicate female voice sounded from a distance.

Then I heard a gentle pace from far and near, slowly rising.

Soon, a shadow appeared at the head of my bed, and with her arrival, I also smelled an indescribable fragrance.

I've never smelled anything so good, and I took a few deep breaths of greed, and didn't stop until I felt a dull pain in my chest again.

Turning his head to look carefully, he saw that the person who came was indeed a beautiful woman with a dusty appearance.

She looks like about seventeen or eighteen, with bright eyes and bright teeth, cloud sideburns like silk, at this time, because she is worried about my condition, a pair of willow eyebrows are frowning slightly, and there seems to be water waves in her crescent-like eyes, which makes people feel even more pity.

Although I have been wandering in places such as Huansha Street all the year round, and I have seen many Qinglou Oiran who are known as peerless, but compared with the girl in front of me, both temperament and appearance can be said to be thousands of miles apart.

I heard that Cao Zhi was shocked when he first saw Zhen Mi, and later made the immortal famous "Luo Shen Fu" based on her.

It's a pity that I don't have Cao Zijian's literary talent, otherwise when I see the person in front of me, I will definitely be able to write a few famous sentences such as "Shocking, graceful like a dragon".

"Childe, the slave will help you up first."

The woman seemed to feel a little shy when she saw me staring at her, and a crimson flush appeared on her cheeks, and she looked away from me, and a slender jade hand went around my neck and lifted me up with difficulty.

I sat on the bed, still looking at her intently, I wanted to speak, but my throat was too dry, and I couldn't spit out half a word after babbling for a long time, not only that, but when my lips opened and closed up and down, some saliva also flowed out from the corners of my mouth.

If this scene is seen by a third person, he will definitely think that I am the evil ghost in that color, the demon king of flowers.

After a long time, I finally held back a sentence:

"God....... Fairy sister? ”
