For this categorical impossibility, the emperor was also distracted for a moment. He also didn't expect that Yue Qianqiu would still be able to trust this grandfather so much when Yue Taichang didn't have time to see Yue Qianqiu, let alone explain anything. He stared at Yue Qianqiu for a long time, and when he saw that his eyes were full of quiet anger, he couldn't help but sigh.

"The truth of the year, not to mention that you have been investigating for ten or eight years, I and your grandfather have been tracking it for more than ten years, and we can't say that we have mastered everything."

As he spoke, he glanced at the little fat man with a worried face, and said lightly: "Otherwise, I wouldn't let Shiro go to such a distant place as Bazhou." I once said to Yue Xiang that now, since I have no biological son, and I have always raised Shiro as my own son for more than ten years, whether he is my blood or not, after all, he is closer than those nephews and nephews and other outsiders. ”

At this moment, the little fat man came back to his senses, his face became as pale as a piece of white paper, and his body was even trembling slightly. He had long expected that the so-called concubine An's birth of a child who was banished to the cold palace by the queen was probably just a pretense, and now that he was personally picked out by the emperor, Rao is he made countless psychological preparations in advance, and it was still a little difficult to accept.

The only thing that comforted him was that his father clearly told him that he was his own person, and all outsiders such as Li Chongming and the like were outsiders.

Sure enough, the next moment, he saw his father smile at him: "After all, just like Qianqiu's rejection of Emperor Beiyan in public, if there is no evidence, it may not be the truth." Since there is no evidence that Shiro must not be my son, if I am shaken by this, won't I let outsiders take advantage of me in vain? ”

"What's more, Shiro has done a good job in Bazhou City, proving his talent and bearing. This is what I wanted to see most when I let him out. How many kings themselves have worked hard to govern, and they are still virtuous, but the great country was born in the hands of their children and grandchildren, although I have never thought of the saints, but I also do not want to pass on the world to a failed loser. ”

Yue Qianqiu saw that the little fat man was moved by something, although he didn't know if this kid was showing his true feelings, or there were some elements of drama, he snorted lightly angrily, but in the end he still asked persistently: "If the emperor can treat the prince like this, then the army and the people of the world can rest assured." But you haven't answered me, who was the woman who died? ”

"At least not Ding An." The emperor finally spoke, "Shiro was sent to the palace, it was arranged by Jianzhen, and she took in Ding An, who was seriously injured with a child. Later, Ding An was placed in a quiet grange by your grandfather, her two legs were broken, and those widows of Empress Wenwu were sent to Xiao Jingxian of Beiyan again and again from her hands and through your grandfather's channels. Only this time, your grandfather personally sent Ding An to Beiyan. ”

Seeing that he had said it to this point, Yue Qianqiu just frowned, but his face still looked very calm, and the emperor glanced at his big fat son who was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and suddenly felt that the little fat man was indeed not bad as a son. Yue Qianqiu is clever, straightforward when he should be direct, calm and calm when he should be calm, but if there is such a son......

Maybe his suspicion can't be suppressed at all!

The little fat man naturally didn't know what the emperor was thinking, only that his father had been watching Yue Qianqiu all along. Afraid that his father would be angry because of Yue Qianqiu's really offensive words and deeds, he hurriedly gaged next to him and said: "No wonder the Kang Le before shouted that everything was said by Ding An, it turned out that my father and Yue Lao Xiangye were so far-sighted in advance......"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Yue Qianqiu suddenly turn his head sideways and glance at him, his eyes full of contempt. At this moment, he suddenly glared back unhappily. I've worked so hard, and I haven't thought about you?

But immediately after, he understood that Yue Qianqiu's contempt was not for anything else, but because his sycophant slapped the horse's feet!

I saw that the emperor's face sank slightly, and then he said in a casual tone: "Ding An's matter was arranged by Yue Xiang, and I didn't know about it in advance. In fact...... I didn't know that the person who sent Shiro into the palace was actually arranged by Jianzhen in private. If it were another sister, I would have to suspect their intentions if I knew it now, but I could build a true ...... Alas! ”

Yue Qianqiu was looking at the little fat man with an embarrassed and frightened face, and wanted to let your kid talk nonsense, but when he heard the emperor's second half of the words, his heart unconsciously lifted.

As an emperor, there is no one who is not suspicious, if it weren't for the eldest princess of Dongyang who handed over the Xuanlong Division to Yan Xu, she wouldn't care about anything, and Yan Xu took the initiative to position the function of the Xuanlong Division in foreign espionage operations, stripping off a group of secret agents, plus Yan Xu's temperament has always been his own way, not the material for entering the officialdom as a minister, I am afraid that the emperor is not this attitude at all!

It's just that he also used this to confirm that grandpa and the eldest princess did hide from the emperor in some things!

Therefore, he immediately spoke: "Since Ding An is still alive, in this way, the possibility that Uncle Ying once took me to the grave that he dug in the middle of the night should be very high to bury Empress Wenwu of Northern Yan." With the emperor's words, I have to go to my grandfather to ask clearly, I don't care about some things he hides from me, but what should be told to me, he has to say! ”

The little fat man just said the wrong thing, and he was feeling upset, so he couldn't help but sneer: "What if Yue Xiang refuses to say it?" ”

"Then I will run away from home with his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and let his son fight alone!"

Yue Qianqiu laughed and put down the loud intimidation. Seeing that the little fat man's expression was as if he had seen a ghost when he heard this, and the emperor laughed after a moment of consternation, he said casually: "In short, thank you for telling me everything you know." Anyway, my cheap dad and Xiao Jingxian's twelfth princess have arrived, do you really plan to delay until tomorrow? ”

Yue Qianqiu was still aggressive just now, and now he stopped abruptly before he could ask many things, and quickly diverted the topic, and the little fat man only felt a little confused. Moreover, Yue Qianqiu's words just now were really unexpected, and he had to wonder if the guy who had been playing since he was a child would be serious about running away from home.

At this moment, he peeked at the emperor, and saw that his father seemed to be thinking about this problem, obviously in a trance. But after a while, he saw that his father had come back to his senses and smiled gently at himself: "Shiro, who do you think I should see first?" ”

The little fat man never thought that his father would ask for his opinion, and he was caught off guard and almost said that it was all up to his father's decision, but when the words came to his mouth, he realized that he was not an ordinary prince at the moment, but a prince, and he couldn't help but calm down immediately. He lowered his head and muttered for a moment, finally having an idea.

He raised his head and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "If the father emperor does not plan to use troops against Beiyan for the time being, but wants to investigate the previous battle of Bazhou, then he should see the princess of Yue Kingdom first, at least listen to what she has to say." Let's see if she came here to make a show, or if she really has the sincerity to come up with the corresponding conditions, or if she plans to use the power of my Great Wu to help Prince Yan stabilize his position. ”

He paused, and when he saw that the emperor nodded with satisfaction, he couldn't help but lift his spirits, and continued to say: "But if the father and emperor pay more attention to meritorious heroes, then you should meet the fourth master of Yue." He has been in Beiyan for many years, and he has done a lot of things in a painstaking manner, and even his wife and children have been sent back to Jinling, and he was born and died alone in Beiyan, so he should be summoned to comfort him. ”

"It seems that you think I shouldn't have summoned Xiao Jingxian first?" The emperor asked coldly, and saw that the little fat man's face turned white, and Yue Qianqiu was as if nothing had happened, so he said lightly, "What you just said is certainly right, but you must know that you can establish a meritorious service that everyone in the world praises in unison, in the final analysis, because of Xiao Jingxian." ”

The little fat man didn't know that it was Xiao Jingxian who pulled the Northern Yan Nanjing to stay behind and "die together", and let the six princes who were so happy to lead the army to the expedition, but they met under the city of Bazhou and broke the blood flow, giving him the first great credit; Then he instigated a civil strife during the surprise attack of the Northern Yan Emperor's army, and then allowed the Wu army to take advantage of the situation smoothly, allowing him to make another meritorious achievement.

But Xiao Jingxian was not entirely for him, but more for luring out the Northern Yan Emperor, and to force all the parties involved to gather together and ask the truth of the year. This can be seen from Xiao Jingxian's sudden defection to protect the Northern Yan Emperor. He can forgive this capriciousness because of his personal position, but others obviously cannot...... And in his opinion, his father will not forgive!

Therefore, he deliberately did not mention Xiao Jingxian, but he didn't expect that even this was seen through by his father. He struggled for a while, and finally turned his heart sideways, and simply hung his head and said nothing. And the emperor swept his eyes, his gaze skipped over the silent him, and turned to look at Yue Qianqiu.

In the face of such a clear inquiry, Yue Qianqiu said succinctly: "If the emperor is really difficult to choose, then it is very simple, just meet with the guards and relatives who are accompanying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the prince's guard, this time there are many casualties." Anyway, Gonggong Chen had already instructed him before, saying that the emperor would meet the rest of you tomorrow, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? ”

Speaking of this, he muttered in a low voice as if talking to himself: "It's not a bad thing to dry some people." ”

"You, you, you!" The emperor couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and then he bowed his head slightly as if he was good, "In this case, I will meet the little heroes who have made contributions with Shiro this time!" ”

When Yue Qianqiu received the emperor's orders with a smile and went out to inform everyone to come to pay respects, the little fat man, who still had some knotted brains, finally came to his senses and realized that he was the only one left at the moment. He raised his head to look at his father with some trepidation, and found that his father's hand beckoned slightly, so he hurriedly stepped forward.

The closest seat to the emperor's right hand had been his, as long as there were no accidents, but this time he involuntarily hesitated for a moment, and finally took the last step. As soon as he stood still, he heard a very soft voice: "Kneel." ”

The little fat man only felt that his brain exploded, but his consistent instinct still drove him to kneel down without even thinking about it, but he felt extremely aggrieved in his heart. But then, a broad, warm hand touched the top of his head twice.

"You're so tall now that I can't even reach your shoulders, let alone your head, when I sit." Noticing that the head under his command seemed to be stiff and sluggish, the emperor smiled slightly, "Why, I was worried that I would take advantage of Qianqiu's absence to scold you harshly and even teach you a lesson?" ”

The little fat man only felt that his throat was astringent, his nose was sour, and it took a long time for him to burst out a little voice: "I'm just happy......"

"Since I cleaned up King Jia, there is no turning back. If you really don't achieve anything in Bazhou this time, or even die, even if I am scolded for having no vision, I can't raise a son, or even confuse my bloodline and raise a son for others, I can only break my teeth and swallow it in my stomach, and then cultivate Li Chongming as an heir. From this point of view, Shiro, you have done a good job, not only consolidating your own position as the crown prince, but also allowing me to raise my eyebrows. ”

The little fat man never expected the emperor to say things from this point of view, he was already choked up, but he couldn't hold back, and went directly to his knees and hugged his father's knees, tears burst out of his eyes. Especially when he noticed a hand rubbing against the back of his head, the tears fell even harder, and the sound was even more choppy.

"Father...... Father, I'm really scared...... I'm not afraid of death...... I'm afraid you don't want me......"

Being cried like this by the little fat man, the emperor couldn't help but feel that his eyes were slightly red. But in the end, he has been the son of heaven who has ruled the world for so many years, and he has had days when he was at the mercy of others like a puppet, and there have been days when he couldn't stretch his ambitions and could only silently watch the ministers compete for power and profit. It's easy to accumulate enough strength, but because of the problem of heirs, many clans are eyeing each other......

Therefore, he can't accept a wolf-like heir or grandson, but he also can't accept a prince who is incompetent and has a flawed personality. From this point of view, he is now close to the end of success.

"You are still the prince, and you can still cry to me, but when you become the Son of Heaven in the future, you will not even be able to find a person to cry...... I didn't know that Yue Taichang had already known my identity and complained to him, but once we got to know each other, we could never go back to the past. Therefore, you are luckier than me, firstly, you have met Qianqiu, and secondly, you can tolerate each other. ”

The little fat man straightened his waist slightly, and found that he had directly cried and wet the hem of his father's shirt, he was suddenly a little embarrassed, and then muttered in a low voice: "Sometimes I really hate him and want to beat him, but unfortunately I can't beat him." But now that he's really like that, I feel like I'm not going to be able to do it...... He's a poisonous guy with a soft heart, so I'll be loyal and good for my deeds! ”

Hearing such a statement from the mouth of the big fat son, the emperor couldn't help but laugh. When he saw that the little fat man's eyes were red and swollen, he did not signal him to go to get a cold compress, but seriously asked about the inside information and details of the First Battle of Bazhou. In this way, the father and son asked and answered, and after a long time, they only heard the sound of Yue Qianqiu's heavy coughing outside.

"Your Majesty, all the guards and the princes have arrived!"
