After a period of silence, Quan Mingde finally raised his head and looked at his father, his face was full of sadness, and his mouth popped out sporadically, "But... This...", and other words that I want to refute but don't know how to speak.

"Mingde, I know that you are suffering in your heart, and I also know that you don't want to recognize yourself who is gradually moved by me, but the truth is so, your father's position and power, and your wife's family background, in the final analysis, are all because of Mu Chen's actions, and even the prosperity of our human race in the past few decades is closely related to him, you should stop being stubborn because of resentment, and accept the truth. ”

The full name of De leaned slightly, held for three or five seconds and then sat back in his seat, perhaps his position was a little shaken, or it may be that the argument was not strong enough, in short, he did not reply, and fell into silence again.

"As the eldest son of the emperor, I know that my ability is not as good as that of your third emperor uncle, but I have always dreamed of dominating the world, just like your grandfather and Emperor Qi Si. In the eyes of the world, Emperor Qi Si is eloquent and strategic, a generation of idle kings. During his reign, he resolved racial contradictions, vigorously built roads and cities, planned to reclaim land and store grain, so that all ordinary people could have food and clothing, villages and towns of all sizes were full of vitality, and he was not greedy for government affairs, and won the hearts of the people without rebellion, and the world hoped that he would be the emperor, but your imperial grandfather did not suspect this, but more boldly delegated power to Emperor Qi Si, and the two brothers always maintained a different way of getting along with each other and respecting each other, and because of this, they maintained the prosperity of mankind for decades. I'm not your imperial grandfather, but I won't do worse than him, your father and I have a heart, and everyone under Sheng can coexist with your third emperor uncle, but even so, the throne still doesn't belong to me, I'm not reconciled. ”

Quan Yuren was a little excited, sat up straight, he wanted to tell Quan Mingde the detailed plan to fight for the throne, and from tonight, he would no longer hide it.

Although the Wei family has a whisper in the eyes of the world, it still holds great power, Wei Minxian has served Emperor Qi Si and the current emperor, wandering in the power center of Infinite City and Emperor Yang Capital for decades, and has a close relationship with major nobles and officials, and has mastered everyone's secrets. Her brother-in-law, Wei Gang's adopted son Wei Zhidan, is the new palace capital, holding the royal army. Back then, you were asked to marry Wei Rou just to get information through her, but who knew that her father died early, and one of her daughters was gradually excluded from the core interests of the family and lost her value. But now it's different, Wei Gonglu used her to get close to Mu Chen, which happened to leave a chance for you and my father and son. ”

Quan Yuren's expression and tone changed greatly, not a majestic city lord, nor a loving father who told his heart, but a careerist with great ambitions, greed and desire flashed in his eyes, unjust, not evil, but too obsessive.

Faced with his father's appearance that he had never seen, his full name De jumped out of trouble, and his father, who gradually became strange, shocked him and didn't know how to talk.

"Regarding the struggle for the throne, my father was originally preparing to unite with the Wei family, but she Wei Minxian had no children under her knees, and the nephews and grandchildren of the Wei family could not be used as candidates for succession. But the Wei family is powerful all the year round, and they are used to the status of one person under ten thousand people, and Wei Minxian, as the successor queen, is not on good terms with our brothers, she will definitely not be willingly attached to any of them. My father asked you to marry Wei Rou, intending to send you to the throne under such circumstances. You are a junior, so you avoid making their family bow their heads, and it is easy for them to control, the best of both worlds. ”

"Father, didn't you just learn about the fall of the throne a few months ago, how could it be..."Quan Mingde looked at his strange father, and couldn't believe that he had already made a layout.

"Prepare for the worst in advance and deploy early to survive the brutal power struggle, and that's something you need to learn. ”

"But father, according to what you said, it is the best policy for you and my father and son to join forces with the Wei family, why do you still fight openly and secretly here and hurt each other. After several struggles, Quan Mingde reached a compromise with himself, temporarily putting aside his resentment and troubles and joining the discussion of the great cause of father and son.

"In order to keep the foundation, the Wei family actually asked Wei Minxian to marry the emperor, and the relationship changed from an aunt to a husband and wife, such shameless things can be done, do you need a reason to fight with you and me for power? You just have to stabilize Wei Rou, talk to her more often, and deliberately say some soft words that the family should be united, so that she can pass it on to Wei Gonglu and ease the relationship between the two families. ”

"Father, although my son doesn't love Wei Rou, isn't this happening..."

"Mingde, are you willing, are you willing to give up the throne to others? In order to seize the throne, we are ready to wage war, and your current benevolence, righteousness and morality are more important than your sitting on the throne for the benefit of the people. ”

Quan Mingde swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if he had heard these words, and then asked: "Father, how can we unite the Wei family with only one Wei Rou, since she is no longer in the core position, can what she said be useful?"

Quan Yuren raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at his son, who was eager to know the whole plan, nodded affirmatively, and then continued: "My father knows that there is not harmony between your husband and wife, and saying some soft words is just to improve the relationship, she is just a woman after all, how can there be a wife who is not oriented to her husband, and when the time is ripe, she will rely on her to win over those two wasteland women, in the end, it is all to get Mu Chen." The alliance with the Wei family was just the first plan for my father, with the current situation, it was no longer the main goal, as long as there was Mu Chen's support, the throne would definitely fall to you and my father and son. ”

"But Father, Mu Chen and Wei Gonglu have a close relationship, how can we..."

"Eh, he Wei Gonglu will only have some small favors, he can't meet Mu Chen's current needs, don't worry, for his father, there is a way to pull Mu Chen back to him. ”

Quan Yuren did not tell Quan Mingde about Wei Gonglu's use of the pass to deal with him, he talked bitterly all night, and finally made sense of his son, and now telling him these unsatisfactory things will only increase his troubles and blow his newly established desire to seize the throne.

"Mingde, everything you do for your father is for you, and since you are willing to participate in it, you can't do things as freely as you did before. From now until you ascend to the throne, every step must be purposeful, think twice about everything, and consult with your father at any time. Remember, whether it is the Wei family or Mu Chen, the humiliation you are suffering from them now is just to step on the tempering of their ascension to the throne, once the throne is in hand, these people will all fall at your feet, and there will never be a day to get up. ”

"Father, son remembers. I will not act recklessly in the future. ”

In the second half of the night, Quan Yuren called Lao Chen, who was guarding outside the door, in, ordered some food, and made a pot of tea.

During the banquet, Quan Yuren opened his mouth and asked, "Lao Chen, what is the movement of the Wei Mansion?"

"Back to the master, Mu Chen and his party have never come out since they entered the mansion. Only one attendant hurriedly ran to the coffin shop and ordered the boss to rush to make the coffin overnight, which should be used early tomorrow morning. ”

"Early tomorrow morning, you send someone to the coffin shop to keep an eye on it, as long as you are ready to send it out of the door, you will come and inform me, and Mingde and I will set off immediately. By the way, prepare two more plain clothes. ”

"Yes, sir. Lao Chen turned to leave.

"Wait, what's going on with Lianbazan?"

"The Lord in charge drank some alcohol after the treatment, and he should still be asleep. ”

"Don't disturb him, and don't let him come into contact with anyone. Before we returned, he was restricted from leaving the House. There is another thing, who is the woman covered in leaves that Mu Chen brought back, have you inquired?"

"Back to the master, this person has been silently following Mu Chen's side, rarely speaking, but from the appearance of the wings behind her, it is guessed that it may be a spirit clan. ”

"Father, aren't the spirits a legendary race? no one has ever seen them. ”

"Young master, that woman has a pair of wings on her back, which is very similar to the penetrating wings circulating in the market, and the senior hunters in the state have always believed in the existence of the Spirit Clan, the old slave thinks..."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's the Spirit Clan or not, the people who follow Mu Chen's side are all regarded as distinguished guests, you send someone to inquire and see what her purpose is in Baoling City." ”

Lao Chen left the room and went to deploy and prepare as instructed, and the two fathers and sons hurriedly ate the meal and drank the tea from the teacup.

"Father, I have to go to the funeral early tomorrow morning, so you might as well rest for a while it is still dawn. ”

"Tomorrow, our father and son will go to the Wei Mansion, you go to Wei Rou first, care about her a few words, and ease the cold atmosphere between you. If you see Mu Chen or Qi Luna, just treat each other politely, no need to resist or be courteous, don't show your heart too much. There is a father, you just need to follow the arrangement, and don't be emotional. Quan Yuren was still a little uneasy, and told him again.

"Mingde knows, father, you can rest. ”

When Quan Mingde went out, Quan Yuren closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and he completely lay down when the sky was already dawning, which was the end of a busy day.

The full name of the back room, De tossed and turned, he was guided by his father to unconsciously participate in the struggle for the throne, after thinking calmly, the anger and prejudice that he temporarily let go of returned to his heart, and the inner contradiction always had to be resolved by himself, although the whim decision changed the initial attitude, but to convince himself fundamentally, he had not found enough reason. After tossing and turning until dawn, he finally reluctantly accepted the ideal answer that the emperor could make Mu Chen bow his head and keep Qiluna by his side, in order not to torture himself anymore, he strengthened this mark in his mind again and again, telling himself that this was the only way out, and imprinted such cause and effect deeply in his heart, and did not allow any questioning.
