The Ninth Prince looked at the emperor silently and lowered his eyes, "Brother Huang is worried about border matters?" ”

"Well, I don't understand, I've always been safe and sound, why did this news come suddenly, I didn't hear that they were prepared." The Emperor sighed sullenly.

The Nine Princes' hearts suddenly sudden, he pinched the palms of his hands, and said indifferently, "The soldiers are fast, maybe they want to be surprised." ”

The emperor was annoyed and asked the ninth prince, "Ninth brother, what do you think?" ”

"It depends on what the royal brother means." The Nine Princes were reluctant to say more.

The emperor looked at him for a while, and did not force him, at this time, the ministers came in a hurry, and the nine princes gave up their hands and retired, making it clear that they did not want to participate in these things. The emperor was annoyed, and when he saw him like this, he didn't force it, waved his hand and let him go.

The Nine Princes withdrew from the imperial study, and there was nothing on his face, but his mood was unexpectedly good.

In the imperial study, the emperor showed the urgent recital to the ministers.

After the ministers circulated it, their expressions were shocked. They are used to being comfortable, and they have not thought about war for a long time, but everyone knows that the hidden danger of war has always existed.

"What do you think?" The emperor sat upright, his expression solemn, but there was a faint anger between his eyebrows.

The ministers did not dare to speak, in fact, there were some speculations in their hearts. The reason why the enemy country came to attack at this time was not because the emperor had just ascended the throne, and they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make a profit.

"This ...... Your Majesty, the enemy country has some intention of taking advantage of the situation, and its heart can be punished. ”

The emperor frowned displeasedly, "And no matter what they came for, the border is urgent, what good strategies do you have to solve this crisis?" ”

The ministers looked at each other for a while, and one of them stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this matter may just be chasing after the wind, the real situation is not so bad, the enemy country just wants to release the news and find out our truth, if we mess up our own position, they can take the opportunity to attack, so we need to wait and see what happens." ”

The emperor felt that what he said made sense, so he sent an order to the border guards to intensify their defense, send men to patrol day and night, and report the situation as soon as possible.

And they all obeyed.

After such a thing happened, the emperor was a little troubled and uneasy in his heart, and suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, and saw a person standing at the head of the bed, looking at him with blood and tears in his eyes.

The emperor was shocked and shouted, "Who are you to dare to trespass on my dormitory?" ”

shouted a few times, but the man ignored it. The emperor panicked and began to call loudly, but the people on duty outside were like sleeping dead, and there was no movement at all.

"You...... Who are you? Don't come here! ”

"Prince, you have harmed my life, and now you are still sitting in this country?" The man began to speak, his voice old and familiar.

The emperor's scalp exploded, and his voice trembled obviously, "You, you, you are the father?" ”

The voice smiled, and the figure floated around, weightless as a blank sheet of paper.

"The prince still remembers that I am your father. I thought you had forgotten about it. The first emperor blew in the other party's ear, which made the emperor winc.

Although the emperor was already frightened, he still forced himself to calm down and said, "Father, why did you come to Erchen, what Erchen did that day was a last resort, Erchen thought, you can understand." ”

The first emperor sighed silently, "Prince, don't you know repentance until now?" ”

"Father, what are you talking about, why do you want to repent, your son has never done anything wrong, everything your son has gained now is what your son deserves!" The emperor stiffened his neck and screamed.

"Then now that the enemy country is attacking, how do you explain it?"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that the reason why the neighboring countries acted so quickly must have heard some news, before forcing the palace, the prince and the king of Chu competed, which had already greatly damaged the vitality of the court, and a general like Mu Zhufeng who could lead the troops was also seriously injured and could not go to the battlefield in a short time. The other part of the people are disgusted that the crown prince is not in the right position and do not obey him, so even if they lead the troops into battle, they will not do their best.

Therefore, if the neighboring countries really come to attack at this time, the imperial court will have no generals available. The emperor is in an extremely embarrassing situation, and if he doesn't do it well, the civil strife will escalate.

But it was clear in his heart, but the emperor still said stubbornly, "Even when my father was in power, there were enemy countries to attack, not to mention that I had just ascended the throne, and it was understandable that they wanted to take advantage of the situation." ”

The Emperor smiled noncommittally, "It seems that you haven't realized the real reason yet. ”

The emperor was not very scared at this moment, staring at the black shadow, his eyes flashing with a cold light, "Father, you appeared at this time, is this what you are talking about?" If so, the sons have their own ways to deal with it, and they don't have to worry about their fathers. ”

Hearing this, the emperor's tone finally changed, and he said coldly, "I don't want to see that the great country is buried in your hands like this." ”

The emperor was angry and jumped up, "Father, you have always been like this, you have never looked down on me, you know what I hate about you the most, you are partial to the king of Chu, you have always had the first queen in your heart, and you regard your main palace as nothing!" I am your serious son-in-law, but you have never cared about me, and even at the last moment, you still want to hand over the country to the King of Chu! ”

The black shadow looked at him in a daze, and suddenly chuckled, the bitterness of the laughter was indescribable, "You are the son-in-law, you will inherit the unification in the future, you regard my cultivation of you as a shackle, prince, hehe." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then became furious, "Is ignoring it called cultivation?" I'm not uncommon. ”

The first emperor looked at him coldly and said coldly, "Then you can do it yourself." After speaking, the figure disappeared in an instant like a gust of wind.

The emperor woke up from his dream sweating profusely, sat on the quilt, looked at the nothingness in front of him in a daze, and suddenly laughed lowly, the louder he laughed, and gradually went crazy.

The secret guard on night duty outside heard the movement, hurriedly pushed the door in, and asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?" ”

The emperor slammed the bed hard, "If you think I can't sit in this position, then I'll sit for you, and you will show me a good look." He stared at a point in the air, his eyes fierce.

The dark guard's back was cold, and he began to break out in a cold sweat inexplicably.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" The emperor was stunned, and even if the secret guard was afraid, he had to go up and wake people up.

The emperor's bloodshot eyes looked straight at him, making people feel cold.

"Your Majesty, you ......" Before the words were finished, the emperor jumped up and stuck the throat of the dark guard, who instinctively wanted to resist, but thinking that the person in front of him was the Ninety-Five, he put down his hand again, and let his most vulnerable throat be held in his hands.

"You look down on me, I'll let you see what a prosperous age is."

The dark guard was out of breath, rolling his eyes, his hands fluttering vigorously, and he accidentally shook the thing on the table over, and with a bang, the movement was very loud.

When the emperor heard this voice, the bloodshot in his eyes receded, and a trace of clarity appeared.

He looked down at the purple-faced dark guard in front of him, pushed the person away, and said coldly, "Why are you here?" ”

The guard fell to the ground, clutching his throat and coughing. The emperor remembered the situation in the dream, and his heart was very unhappy, so he asked the secret guard to be carried out, and he got up and went to the Buddha hall of the queen mother.

However, he did not worship the Buddha, but looked at the Buddha statue for a moment, muttered something in his mouth, and turned to leave again.

On the other side, the jailer in the prison threw the food on the ground and said rudely, "Let's eat." ”

Chi Wan looked at the pig-like meal, and didn't have any appetite.

Xie Yutang had been in the barracks for a long time, so he didn't mind much, but seeing that Chi Wan couldn't eat, he was also worried.

In the past few days, Chi Wan has never eaten a full meal, and she is visibly emaciated. The cheeks, which were originally rosy and fair, have now lost their luster and are much duller.

Xie Yutang picked out the cabbage that could be seen in his meal and put it in Chi Wan's bowl, "Eat something, otherwise your body won't be able to support it."

Chi Wan sat with her knees crossed and said sullenly, "I can't eat." ”

"If you don't eat, you can't stand it, we have a lot of things to do next, good, huh?" Xie Yutang took a chopstick dish and sent it to Chi Wan's mouth, but was avoided by the other party.

Xie Yutang frowned helplessly, and couldn't help but be a little angry.

"Wanwan, obedient, this is a prison, if you are sick, I can't ask you for a doctor." Xie Yutang's voice was serious.

Chi Wan was also uncomfortable in her heart, listening to Xie Yutang's tone, as if she was complaining about herself, the grievances she had accumulated for days gushed out, and she said angrily, "I just can't eat it, I'm different from you, I can still eat so deliciously at this time." ”

Xie Yutang looked at Chi Wan and stopped talking.

Ji Wan realized that she seemed to have gone too far, but she was embarrassed to pull down her face to apologize, so she simply lay on the bed made of wooden planks, facing the wall.

Xie Yutang was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he took off his clothes and covered her, but was beaten off by Chi Wan, Xie Yutang rubbed the other party's hair helplessly, and coaxed softly, "Don't be willful, cover it well." ”

At this time, Chi Wan didn't knock off her clothes, but turned over and sat up, looked at Xie Yutang and said, "What do you think in your heart?" ”

Xie Yutang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What do you think?" ”

Chi Wan looked around, and saw that the jailers were doing their own business, and they didn't have time to care about their side, so she bit her lip and lowered her voice, "You plan to stay in the prison all the time and wait for the emperor to deal with us?" ”

To be honest, Ji Wan was a little disappointed.

In the past, Xie Yutang was not like this, he was decisive, quick-witted, and very planned in everything he did, but now, as if he had accepted his fate, he stayed in this cell a few feet square, and did nothing.
