In the blazing streets, countless guards with swords poured into the streets, and the guards of honor that were rarely seen came to the palace.

Xiao Chuzi shouted in a sharp voice: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Qin Fei and Chu Zhuo, who were still whispering, hurriedly ran to the door, poked their heads out and looked, and sure enough, it was Huang Luo's umbrella that was near the palace.

Emperor Chu stepped out of the imperial chariot, and the guards around him looked around and guarded, not daring to slack off.

Looking at the raging fire in front of him, Emperor Chu's expression was as if he was watching a fireworks show, and the smile raised at the corner of his mouth carried a hint of mockery.

"The fire is just in the Qi Palace? Didn't spread to other places? Emperor Chu asked lightly.

The captain of the guard, who had rushed to fight the fire before, hurriedly bowed down and said: "The Qi Palace's mansion has almost completely burned down, and the thieves are setting fire everywhere. Fortunately, when Weichen arrived here, he immediately ordered his subordinates to clear out a separation zone, and the fire was controlled in the Qi Palace. ”

Emperor Chu snorted lightly, turned his head to look at the Duanwang Mansion not far away, and walked away.

It was not a good thing for Emperor Chu to see that he and Chu Zhuo were together in the middle of the night, Qin Fei immediately made a decision and jumped into the rockery in the courtyard, using the craggy fake stones, he could also spy on the movement outside.

Xiao Chuzi summoned one after another, and the palace guards knelt on the ground one after another, and Chu Zhuo was pretending to greet him, respectfully.

Emperor Chu looked at his son with a smile and said softly: "Let's get up first, irrelevant people will go down, father and son will say a few words, there is no need for so many people to listen." ”

Xiao Chuzi took the eunuch guards to guard outside the palace gate, and Master Bu immediately led the palace guards to retreat to the inner courtyard. But Qin Fei was bitter, and jumped into the rockery earlier, and now it is impossible not to eavesdrop on the conversation between Emperor Chu's father and son.

"Since you performed the crown ceremony and left the palace, I have never been to your Duanwang Mansion." Emperor Chu carried his hands behind his back, paced in the spacious courtyard, and said slowly: "Yes, yes, by the way, is the Qi Palace's Mansion similar to this mansion?" ”

Chu Zhuo replied honestly: "The place is slightly larger than the Duan Wangfu, but the Qi Wangfu is more luxurious. ”

Chu Zhuo secretly damaged his younger brother, how could he hide it from Emperor Chu? He didn't say anything, and stretched out his hand to point to the smoke and fire in the distance: "What do you think of this fire?" ”

Chu Zhuo is now thankfully found Qin Fei just now, the words discussed by the two, Qin Fei's ghost ideas, is just the time to play, and immediately bowed down and said: "Father, the Qi Palace, was attacked and set on fire, and there is no power to protect himself at all. Father, you know, the Qi Palace, there is still Niang's father-in-law in charge, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. Erchen's Duanwang Mansion can't even find a famous master. The Qi Palace's Mansion has been burned down, and Erchen is worried that the safety of the Duan Palace's Mansion is also in question. Therefore, he dared to ask his father for permission to let his sons return to the old residence of the palace, and then move back to the palace after recruiting proper guards. ”

If King Qi was here, he would definitely be so angry that he would slap Chu Zhuo in the face, but I tried my best to burn down my own house, and spent money to find someone to pretend to be an assassin, just to be able to go back to the palace and hug my father's thigh. You, shameless Chu Zhuo, can actually take advantage of my business to go to the palace to live? People can't be shameless like this.

It's a pity that King Qi didn't know that such a brazen strategy came from Qin Fei's head.

Emperor Chu was silent for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you really want to go back to the palace?" Or are you afraid that your brother will go back to the palace first? ”

Chu Zhuo was shocked, bowed his head and said, "Erchen has never thought of it like this......"

Emperor Chu chuckled and said, "Then you mean that I guessed wrong?" ”

With such a big hat pressed down, where could Chu Zhuo afford it, the night breeze was Xiao Xiao, and he actually broke out in a cold sweat. In front of their father, the tricks played by the brothers were really unacceptable.

Seeing that his son was frightened like this, Emperor Chu said lightly: "As soon as the news of the attack on the Qi Palace's mansion reached the palace, Pang Zhen had already rushed here in person and caught an assassin unknowingly. I'm afraid your brother doesn't know about this matter yet. The Assassin was taken to the palace, where I interrogated him with a cup of tea, and in a few words, I did everything. King Qi feels that he has been a little weak recently, and he wants to go back to the palace to take the road of family affection, which is not wrong. The mistake is that he can come directly to me and say that he wants to go back to the palace to live, but I may not allow it, and may praise him for being filial to the queen mother. It's a pity that he did such a stupid thing, which is really disappointing to me. ”

Chu Zhuo didn't dare to say much, and followed Emperor Chu honestly with his head down.

"I and my ancestors are different." Emperor Chu looked at Chu Zhuo with a sharp gaze: "Every generation of ancestors has so many sons, and the ministers must follow the old rules, and the eldest son is the heir." They always say that if you abolish the growth and establish the young, you will mess up the routine. But how did I get my throne, do you know? ”

Chu Zhuo responded in a low voice, Emperor Chu participated in the seizure of the heir in the past, and with the help of Wen Tangyin and Wu Pangzhen, he stood out among the sons and finally won the throne of Chu. How could Chu Zhuo not know about this?

"It's rare for me to tell my son what I think. Since I'm at your mansion tonight, I might as well talk to you about it. Emperor Chu said with a smile: "The crown prince must be established, but it does not mean that he will definitely inherit the unification." If the crown prince does not show a qualified imperial qualification, I will not hesitate to take him. In order for the state of Chu to prosper for a long time, it is far more useful to choose the most talented successor than the so-called eldest son. However, what makes me feel sorry is that although the prince is a little uncompetitive, you unfilial sons are even more uncompetitive! ”

"I burned my house in the middle of the night in order to enter the palace, and this kind of thing can be done." Emperor Chu sighed softly: "If there is a new monarch in the Chu State today, I will still choose the crown prince instead of you." ”

Chu Zhuo muttered in a low voice: "Erchen has always kept to himself, and he has never had any extravagant hopes for the position of the crown prince!" ”

"Do your part, and you'll get what you deserve!" Emperor Chu smiled and said, "If one of my sons has the appearance of an emperor, then I will definitely choose him." For if I don't choose him, I must kill him. Otherwise, after I Bintian, he and his brother competed for the throne, how could the fool I chose be his opponent? ”

"My father has a long life, and the spring and autumn period is in full bloom, where is the need to think about these things?" Chu Zhuo patted his ass cautiously.

Emperor Chu was silent, in fact, in his heart, the person who won the heir back then, King Yan had a great opportunity. In terms of talent, King Yan is not much worse than him, looking at the corner of the northern frontier of King Yan to be able to resist the demon clan and cause so much pressure on the imperial court, you know that he is a rare talent. It's a pity that King Yan's luck was not as good as that of Emperor Chu...... Emperor Chu had fantasized more than once that if it was King Yan who met Pang Zhen and Tang Yin first, and he met Liu Renzhong...... Will today's emperor still be himself?

However, how can you be the king of a country without some blessings?

Thinking of the heir, Emperor Chu's eyes swept over a pale and handsome face, the fourth prince has paid so much for the country and the royal family, what should he get? What would he be content with?

"The court is in an eventful season, although you don't have a real job, but you have to go to the court more, participate in state affairs, and share worries for me." Emperor Chu paused, and suddenly said something that made Qin Fei and Chu Zhuo startled:

"That idiot hiding in the rockery, you can get out."

Qin Fei walked out of the rockery in embarrassment, Emperor Chu waved his hand, signaling Chu Zhuo to retreat first, and when he entered the backyard, he looked at Qin Fei leisurely and said nothing.

Qin Fei bowed and saluted, and then said with a smile: "Weichen went to the Qi Palace, but the palaces all looked similar, and when he accidentally jumped into the Duanwang Mansion, when he wanted to go out, His Majesty had already come in." Wei Chen dared to hide! ”

"Qin Fei!" Emperor Chu said slowly: "The Prosecutor's Office is about to release you. Before, Governor Yi came to the palace and asked me what I meant, do you want to know where you will be released? ”

"Wherever you go, you will serve the people of Dachu!" Qin Fei said confidently.

Emperor Chu smiled slightly: "I think it's more appropriate for you to go to Anton!" ”

Andong is a province in the northeast of Great Chu, close to the jurisdiction of King Yan in the west, the sea in the east, and the base camp of the barbarians in the north, which can be said to be a place where gas is affected on three sides. Anton is a poor country, he can't grow many good crops, and he doesn't have any local products, and there are barbarians and pirates to rob him in three days, and he is very close to King Yan, and he has nothing to do but suffer from the idleness of the Northern Frontier Army.

It is rumored in the prosecutor's hall that going to Anton to be a town governor can reduce his life for ten years.

"Your Majesty, Anton is an important town in Dachu and shoulders the defense of northern Xinjiang. Weichen is young and ignorant and inexperienced, and he really can't afford to bear the burden of Anton Town Governor. Weichen thinks that it is good to go to the south or the southeast, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the people are simple, and it is easy to manage. By the way, it is difficult for His Majesty to get out of the palace, and Wechen knows that there is a chaotic one selling rice balls at night on two streets, and it is a must in the Eastern Capital, so I will wait for Wechen to buy some for His Majesty to come back and eat......"

"Qin Fei, what I have already said, I will not change!" Emperor Chu said leisurely.

Qin Fei blinked: "Anton needs a well-respected and experienced town governor. ”

"I just feel that Anton needs a town governor who dares to fight, survives from the cracks, and can't fight to the death!"

"Wechen can definitely be killed!" Qin Fei straightened his chest and said: "Your Majesty, Da Chu can kill Weichen not 10,000 but 8,000, you have no jokes, Anton ......"

"Two ways, either go to Anton to be the town governor!" Emperor Chu's face turned cold: "Or, cut it off!" ”

Qin Fei sighed, this is no longer a matter of crushing people at the level of the official university, he said slowly: "Weichen Xie Your Majesty Longen!" ”
