The moonlight is like water, quietly shining on him, his eyes are contemplative, compared with Wang Manqiu, who is usually lively and active, it seems to be a little more mature and intellectual. Wang Yue stood beside him, and with joy, he hugged his arm tightly and slowly leaned into his arms. She knew that at this moment, her husband was distracted.

A month ago, Lord Liu, who was far away in Lin'an, was also the concubine of the lord of the big county, and he was also Wang Manqiu's cheap uncle. In the face of the national disaster, in the face of the smoke of Jiangnan, he was about to lose his heart and go crazy.

He looked up at the five-year-old little emperor sitting on the dragon chair below, pulled the ten princes and said, "Look at it, look at it, who is more like the emperor between him and you sitting on it?" This obviously gave the Ten Princes a big problem, even if he was bold, he didn't dare to answer, his head was drooping, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and the inaction of the royal family was also powerless in his opinion. In the face of the enemy's large-scale pressure, the city of Xiangyang was broken, and Huaibei was lost, but the ruler of Dahua has been retreating, and he is also anxious. But at this time, it is not enough to actively seek death.

"Whoever sits here is the emperor!" The Ten Princes said softly, he actually understood in his heart, what difference does it make who sits on it at this moment? There was an inexplicable sadness in his heart, even if he worked hard to sit in this position, he didn't have to be controlled by others, he could only be a puppet, might as well be a scholar?

Lord Liu smiled and said, "Ten Princes, where did you go back then?" Jiangdong's father is being insulted by a foreign country at the moment, and he is living in dire straits. Today, the imperial court has no soldiers available, and it is difficult to find one. This is the consequence of emphasizing literature over military force. ”

The Ten Princes waved their hands and motioned for the ministers to retreat. There were only the two of them left in the huge Jinluan Palace, and the little emperor had long since disappeared.

The tenth prince stepped forward and patted the dragon chair and said, "You also come up and sit!" ”

Lord Liu shook his head vigorously: "A dragon chair can't sit two people. ”

The Ten Princes said: "This is no longer a dragon chair. ”

Lord Liu's heart was like being hit hard, the pain in his heart, the chair that used to represent his own glory and supreme authority was now just a self-deceptive prop, he nodded and finally walked over, sat down next to the ten princes, in his memory, such a situation seemed to have happened, it was still when the emperor was alive.

The tenth prince said: "Lone still remembers that when I was young, my eldest brother used to hold me to play on this chair. ”

"Have you ever been?" Lord Liu tried to search in his memory, but he couldn't find an impression of this sentence. He knows the emperor too well, he is their eldest brother together, he loves the people like a son, and he is kind-hearted.

The Tenth Prince nodded: "Yes, he also said that when I grow up, this chair will belong to me." A cold glow shone in his eyes. But when he grew up and his wings were getting fuller, he was cut clean by his most respected emperor's eldest brother, and even snatched away his beloved woman. Since then, the most basic trust between brothers has been gone, and I didn't expect that the eldest brother would Yingcheng die early, and the last holy decree before his death recruited him back to the capital and became the regent. But it's an overhead ornament.

Lord Liu narrowed his eyes, and his gaze became confused and ethereal. After a long while, he sighed and said, "The first emperor seems to have really said it. ”

The tenth prince said: "Maybe the eldest brother has too many brothers, you can't remember which one you said to." ”

Lord Liu: "Do you hate him very much in your heart?" ”

The Ten Princes nodded unabashedly.

Liu Dadao: "Once people sit on this chair, they will become troubled by gains and losses, and they will not be able to recognize themselves, and I have been reflecting on them almost every day over the years. Even I don't understand why the Emperor would covet this broken, hard chair. ”

The Ten Princes sneered silently, of course he knew that what the eldest brother was greedy for was not this chair, but Dahua's supreme power and endless beauty.

Liu Dadao: "I thought that I was the only one who got old over the years, but when I saw you, I realized that you are aging faster than me, and the taste of this is not good." ”

The Ten Princes sighed: "Now that the land of Zhunnan has been lost, the ancestral country has been corrupted by the Zhao family. Dahua's fate has become so difficult? ”

Lord Liu laughed: "The first emperor squandered Dahua's wealth, but you put all the responsibility on his descendants, if you didn't want to plot to usurp the throne?" Now that there is a foreign invasion in Xiangyang, Dahua has fallen into a dilemma? It can no longer withstand a civil strife. ”

The tenth prince said: "You have accompanied my emperor for eleven years, and the only achievement is to leave Dahua with an empty treasury?" ”

Liu Dadao: "At the beginning of the eldest brother's accession to the throne, Dahua's treasury was empty, the deficit was continuous for years, and there was constant famine. Civil unrest has occurred frequently in the past eleven years. It was I who paid off all Dahua's debts, and it was I who quelled one civil unrest after another. ”

At this time, how could the new emperor still have the slightest merit, Lord Liu's eyes stared at the eyes of the Ten Princes: "You think you are stronger than me, do you think that Dahua's predicament today is caused by me?" You think that I have been unfair to you, depriving you of the crown prince and letting the descendants of the Zhao family take their place. If it weren't for my greed for power, among so many brothers back then, including you, no one was up to the task, and none of them had the ability to govern the country! ”

If Master Liu had said this ten years ago. The Ten Princes would inevitably be disdainful, and even angry, but now his reaction was surprisingly calm: "You can't help but think too highly of the emperor." ”

Lord Liu laughed and said: "You only think about driving the emperor down from the throne, but you ignore the most critical thing, whether your ability can control the giant ship of Dahua, from small to large, you take power too seriously, you regard all your brothers as enemies, thinking that they all want to snatch your crown prince." In order to grasp the authority of Dahua, you do not hesitate to want to oust the former emperor from the throne in the name of disobedience, and you are worried that I will compete with you for power and frequently assassinate meritorious officials. We have no choice but to eradicate your henchmen one by one. You only have yourself in your eyes, there is no Dahua, if you are thinking about your ancestors' family business and the country, you should make a move at this time, don't let Dahua fall into today's predicament. Still like in the past, dare to take responsibility, blame others for things, have time to complain that God is unfair to you, think that everyone is sorry for you, it is better to think about what you are doing at the moment! ”

The Ten Princes roared angrily: "You forced me, the eldest brother abolished my position as the crown prince and exiled me to Yizhou, even so, he refused to give up, and even ordered you to send someone to kill me." ”

Lord Liu sneered: "If I want to kill you, I can find you no matter how far you are exiled?" The new emperor has no ability to govern the country, but he is kind-hearted, at least he will not kill each other. Do you know how the ministers interceded for you when the first emperor deposed you as the crown prince, and when he named the new emperor the crown prince, he fainted several times and couldn't sleep at night. Not bad! The emperor did have the intention of killing you at that time, and if it weren't for the courtiers' hard work to intercede for you, the emperor would have beheaded you for the crime of rebellion. ”

The Ten Princes laughed and said, "Reversing black and white, you are still lying a lot." ”

Liu Dadao: "Dahuadu has reached the point where it is now, why should I lie to you?" ”

The Ten Princes roared: "Who chased Gu along the way to Yizhou, if it weren't for Gu's loyal subordinates desperately guarding him, Gu would have died at your hands." ”

Lord Liu shook his head and said, "I haven't done it, and the new emperor hasn't done it, you just fell into a trap set by others." He laughed and said, "If you hate me so much, why don't you kill me?" I thought that even if I died, you wouldn't come here to see me, let alone say a word to me. ”

The tenth prince nodded and said, "I'm not here to see you, I just want to ask you, are you still a lonely brother?" ”

Lord Liu laughed, and after the laughter stopped, his eyes glared at the Ten Princes: "What qualifications do you have to ask me this?" Let you grab the throne now, but you are pushing back, when is it, have you ever thought about the future of Dahua? Of course you didn't come to see me, if it weren't for the national crisis, how would you think of me? Haha, haha, haven't you always wanted to be a generation of saints? The opportunity is right in front of you. You hesitated, did you finally find out that you are just a pawn used by others, just a puppet, you were not a prince in the past, you are still not, and you will not be in the future! Lord Liu shouted frantically.

The Ten Princes grabbed Lord Liu's throat, and a chilling murderous intent suddenly burst out of his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said: "Old thief, you are the sinner of Dahua, if it weren't for the eldest brother's mediocrity, cronyism, and poisoning the people, how could Dahua fall into today's predicament?" If it weren't for the fact that you are my Dahua's minister of the humerus, I would hate to eat raw flesh and drink blood. It was you who snatched Lone's most beloved woman and single-handedly killed her, how could you ever have a little affection in your heart. ”

Master Liu laughed wildly: "Since you hate me so much, why don't you kill me?" Be! It was the woman who robbed you, you shouldn't blame me, you should blame you for being a waste, and you can't even protect your beloved woman. ”

The muscles on the Ten Princes' cheeks continued to twist, and he hated to strangle this vicious old man to death right now.

Lord Liu lowered his voice and said to him: "The person who is ashamed of your ancestors is you, and Dahua will be lost in your hands......"

The heart of the Ten Princes seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, and he let go of his neck and pushed Lord Liu to the ground.

Master Liu gasped and gasped: "Why don't you dare to kill me?" Rubbish! You don't even have the courage to do that, how can you deserve this dragon chair......"

The tenth prince clenched his fists: "Lone knows, you have hidden something, do you still have a secret army that no one knows?" ”

Lord Liu smiled and said: "You really didn't disappoint me, Dahua lost half of the country in just half a year, the royal family has an unshirkable responsibility, it is not an excessive squander, and it is impossible to go to the point of exhaustion." Nowadays, although only one person stands up to take the lead, you will get a lot of good ministers to assist, and there is no problem in governing Dahua, not to mention that with me, a bad old man, no one wants to give Dahua's country to outsiders. ”

The tenth prince said: "Lone gives you ten days to prepare, and Lone will gather 200,000 troops to go south and wipe out all the foreign invaders in Xiangyang." It is also a bright and bright thing in Dahua. ”

Lord Liu said: "You don't have to wait for ten days, three days is enough, and I, a bad old man, will accompany you to fight to Xiangyang!" ”
