"Who has been here?" The old emperor asked directly.

"Back to the emperor, the servants have asked, but no one has come," Wei Ping said respectfully, "King Lu is a serious offender, no one dares to take the initiative to come to the door at this time, the people who guard King Lu are internal guards and royal forest soldiers, so, the emperor, King Lu committed suicide." “

"Suicide?" The old emperor's suspicious gaze poked directly at King Lu's corpse.

Brother and brother Gong, so he did not tie up King Lu, but gave him full freedom, he wanted to see what other party King Lu had, he never believed that this brother of his own only bet on the third child.

It's a pity that the man's movements were too fast and too hidden, and he did it quietly.

Thinking of this, the old emperor was furious!

Someone dared to put his hand to him, and even reached into the inner guard and the Royal Forest Army!

Who else can be trusted and reused by his side!

No matter which of his sons is behind the scenes, he will find out!

Yes, he never considered his remaining two sons innocent.

He knew what kind of blood flowed in his body, and he knew even more about what was in his body that he would leave for his son.

folded two, the son who was once the best in his heart, he wanted to see what waves the remaining two could make!

It's just that I didn't expect him to have a time when he looked away!

A son who does not exist, a son whose biological mother is low, but these two sons are left to the end.

The old emperor had a sense of shame in his heart.

Only after experiencing the bleakest days will they be put to death and reborn, with the courage and means that ordinary people do not have.

Look, although these two sons have not experienced what he has experienced, they are much more "troubled and difficult" than the two who have been broken. It is precisely because of these lowly experiences that they have the fighting spirit that they will "live" until now.

The old emperor seemed to laugh a little.

This list was deliberately given to him.

He personally interrogated King Lu, whether King Lu had something hidden on his body, he knew better than anyone else.

Now that King Lu "committed suicide", this list is laid out like this, it was not given to him on purpose, what else could it be?

Unexpectedly, this son of his, is a powerful one.

He was still on the throne, and his son put his hand into his power.

Of course, the old emperor did not think that this was his son's negligence, on the contrary, it was a war letter given to him by his son!

It's a provocation!

It's even more ridiculous!

Provoke his majesty and power, and mock his inability and aging.

"Your Majesty?"

The old emperor's appearance of not saying a word was too frightening, so Wei Ping simply took the initiative to ask.

"Throw it at a mass grave."

The five words of Wen Tun determined the final destination of King Lu.

Like King Jing, no matter how prominent his identity is during his lifetime, he is a lonely ghost after death, and he doesn't even have a way to reincarnation!

As for that list......

The old emperor didn't care.

Not to mention that most of the people above are dead, even the remaining few are also in a half-dead state, even if they return to the court, they will not be entrusted with important tasks, so this list has little effect, and the only benefit is that it makes him more aware of the partisan disputes in the court.

These are the third people, the third is dead, what is this list thrown in front of him?

He doesn't have to know, he just needs to see the results.

Coming out of the prison, the old emperor looked at the bright sky.

It was the first sunny day after the beginning of spring in the capital.

The sun is shining, but the temperature is terrifying.

"The person was brought back by Shen Jiajun?"

The old emperor's inexplicable words made Wei Ping not sure of his intentions, so he only said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, it was King Lu who mistakenly broke into the training camp of the Shen family, and was arrested by the Shen family army as a spy, and only after interrogation did he know the identity of King Lu and escorted him back to the capital." ”

"Do you believe it?"

Wei Ping was silent.

It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, the important thing is that Gu Jinzhen completed the task given to him by the emperor, and King Lu was brought back.

"Who do you say, who does he support?" The old emperor seemed to know that Wei Ping did not dare to answer, and then asked another question.

It's just that this question is more difficult for Wei Ping to answer than the previous one.

Rolling his eyes, Wei Ping still said modestly: "Back to the emperor, these minions don't understand, the minions only know that the Marquis of Zhenyuan is a royalist and never participates in the prince's succession." To put it mildly, we have a long-standing grudge with the Marquis of Zhenyuan, neither of the two Highnesses is a fool, although the Marquis of Zhenyuan has some rights in his hands, but he really wants to win them over, relying on them to win the heir, which is a greater threat to their future! His Royal Highness does not have the means of the emperor, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to maintain the status quo. Therefore, His Royal Highness should be more wary of the Marquis of Zhenyuan and Gu Jinzhen. ”

The old emperor nodded slightly.

It was not only him who guarded against the Marquis of Zhenyuan, when the emperor was in power, the Marquis of Zhenyuan was also suppressed by all sides, but it was not as obvious as him.

His two sons are inferior to him, and if they don't have him in charge, they won't be the opponents of those people in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion at all.

Therefore, the rabbit cub didn't dare to do the thing of seeking skin with the tiger.

"Your Majesty, the slave dared to guess that Shuzhou was the base camp of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and King Lu thought that the Marquis of Zhenyuan was busy fighting with the emperor in the capital, and Shuzhou would be relatively lax, and your power in Shuzhou was relatively weak, so he fled to Shuzhou in a panic, but he didn't want to, as soon as he entered Shu, he was targeted by the people of the Marquis of Zhenyuan. Shen Jiajun escorted King Lu back, firstly, to complete the task you assigned to General Gu, and secondly, to provoke the emperor! Your Majesty, you must not fall in love with them. ”

"Over the years, you've learned a lot by my side."

The old emperor ridiculed a sentence, Wei Ping's bent waist sank even more, "It is the responsibility of the slave to solve problems for the emperor, the slave is stupid, he can't help the emperor a lot, he just wants to take care of the emperor." ”

In the end, it is a small love, and the old emperor still has some friendship with Wei Ping.

When he was young and weak, Wei Ping followed him, and the two of them suffered together.

The old emperor never doubted Wei Ping's loyalty.

It's not that he is completely at ease with Wei Ping, but it is always a little more than the trust he gives to others, and even more, Wei Ping has been a meritorious escort several times, and when he was young, he even risked himself several times to help him get out of danger. Now, it is not easy to enjoy the glory and wealth, no matter how big the benefits are, they can't compare to the love of the past, after all, he is now on the throne!

Wei Ping is relying on his past affection, which is enough to live a life under one person and above ten thousand people, and participating in the succession will do him all kinds of harm but no benefit!

Therefore, the old emperor was at ease with Wei Ping for the time being.

"The eldest and the fourth, Wei Ping, who do you think has a better chance of winning?"

"Your Majesty!" Wei Ping was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground, "The two highnesses are both dragons and phoenixes among people, and the intelligence of the slave is this, how can you evaluate the two highnesses?" Slaves only know one thing, to sit in a high position, you have to have means that ordinary people can't. This is also the reason why the emperor is the emperor, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan can only be a minister. ”

No matter how high the prestige of Zhenyuan Marquis is among the people, and how strong is his ability at the border pass?

It is precisely because he does not have these means and abilities that he can only be a minister for the rest of his life!

These words undoubtedly spoke to the heart of the old emperor.

A smile gradually appeared on his face, and even the air pressure around him was much higher.

"Boss is still recuperating lately?"

"Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness changed the prescription before, and his condition has improved, but he has been sick for so long and needs to be recuperated. In addition, in the beginning of spring, His Royal Highness has some allergies, so he has been recuperating in the house, and the imperial doctor sent is Imperial Doctor Li, who has made a detailed record of His Royal Highness's condition. ”

The old emperor nodded reassuringly.

Imperial Physician Li is his person, and since it has proved that the boss's illness is true, there is no doubt about it.

"Where's the fourth?"

"Back to the emperor, the people in charge of monitoring the four highnesses have been lurking outside the prince's mansion, and those people who were indeed called by the four highnesses that day were just prepared. Those people were originally arranged outside the palace, until something really happened that night, and they received a signal from His Royal Highness the Fourth, so they broke in to escort them. Everyone's background has been roughly investigated, except for the latter few who have sects, the others are all people of three religions and nine streams, saying that the people in the rivers and lakes are all promoting them, they are nothing more than people who are not doing their jobs, abducted and deceived in the people's pits, and are a little smart. is the latter few sects, all of them are small sects that do not enter the stream, and in the sects, they are all insignificant people. ”

"This is where the fourth is smart," the old emperor and the old god said on the ground, "The fourth is jealous, so he is careful everywhere, even the person who is called is also the person who does not pose any threat, but as everyone knows, the more careful he is, the more his ambition is exposed!" ”

Wei Ping was silent.

It's hard to guess what the superior thinks.

Now that the old emperor is commenting on the four princes like this, who knows what he will say next time?

The wisest choice is not to speak.

"I really didn't expect that in the end, it would be these two sons who stayed until the end, and they were also ......," the old emperor nodded thoughtfully, "The more you fight, the sooner you will die." As the saying goes? The sandpiper and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, and now, there are two fishermen left, which is a bit interesting. ”

A cold sweat broke out on Wei Ping's forehead.

With his understanding of the old emperor, the more indifferent the old emperor was, the more wary he was in his heart.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

"Your Majesty, be careful of the dragon body." Wei Ping served a cup of hot tea very dutifully, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill, and handed it to the old emperor with both hands.

The old emperor didn't take it immediately, but his eyes tightened, "I'm old......"

"The emperor is in his prime, how can he be old?"

"You can still talk, but old is old."

"Your Majesty, you are only heartbroken by what the two highnesses have done, so you have this idea. Do you think that at the beginning, when Emperor Taizu laid down the dynasty, he was older than the emperor, and he governed the dynasty for more than ten years before giving way to the first emperor? The first emperor once said that the emperor is the prince who is most like Emperor Taizu, so the emperor's body is good. The main reason is that the two highnesses are too uneasy and let the emperor worry about it. ”
