After the Taishi and the prime minister retreated, Emperor Wei was still angry, and said to Xu Jiang: "What a benevolent and mellow one, not good at calculation!" The prince persuaded me to abdicate, isn't this what the prince meant! Could it be that the prince can't wait? ”

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Xu Jiang knelt down with a puff, "The Taishi is also helpless, and the emperor doesn't have to blame deeply." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Besides, the queen died early, the prince had no mother, and he studied with the prince since he was a child, so the two naturally had a deeper relationship. The king is determined to seize the heir, and it is menacing again, I am afraid that the Taishi is also worried about the meaning of long nights and dreams. ”

Emperor Wei restrained his anger, and his tone gradually calmed down, "I have actually fallen to such a point today!" Xu Jiang, from now on, you must expand the secret spy department, I allow you to use the Guigumen people or other Jianghu figures, you must keep an eye on the ministers' every move! ”

"The old slave obeys!"

......

"The eldest princess of Zhaoyang and His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince have come to see the emperor!" At this time, the eunuch on duty outside the palace gate came in to report.

"Is Zhaoyang Imperial Sister here? Xu Jiang, I'm tired too, you go down. Emperor Wei raised his arm and motioned for Xu Jiang to retreat.

When the door opened, I saw a woman about thirty years old, dressed in a red dress with a phoenix tattoo, her hair combed in a bun, and she shook Ding Ling. The bright red and dark gold robe lined her with red lips and white teeth, graceful and luxurious. The person who came was naturally the sister of Emperor Wei Jing of the Great Wei Dynasty - the eldest princess of Zhaoyang. She was holding an eight or nine-year-old boy in her hand, the boy was stocky and had a round face, he was Wei Hao, the fifth prince of the Great Wei Dynasty.

"The child knocks before his father." The boy also bowed to the ground at the princess's side.

"It's the royal sister and Hao'er who are here! Hao'er, come to my father's bedside. "Emperor Wei's affection is beyond words. Among Emperor Wei's underage princes, this fifth prince Wei Hao was the most favored by Emperor Wei.

"Today is Concubine Lan's birthday, Zhaoyang just went to Concubine Lan's Liuyan Pavilion to pay a visit, and saw that the palace was full of guards, and I don't know what happened?" Princess Zhaoyang stepped forward to hold Emperor Wei's cold hand, and her eyes turned red all of a sudden, "Brother Huang, these imperial doctors are really useless, I haven't seen any improvement in Brother Huang for a whole month, they are really a bunch of useless things!" ”

"Oh, Concubine Lan's birthday...... Let's not talk about these imperial doctors. Imperial sister, do you know, there is something more infuriating than this. Some people are a little impatient when they see that I have been sick for a long time. "Emperor Wei's words are somewhat meaningful.

"What does the royal brother mean?" Princess Zhaoyang was confused, and she didn't understand the emperor's sudden words.

Emperor Wei pursed his lips, ordered the palace people to break a yellow, orange and orange citrus, put it in his mouth, and then sneered, "Just now, someone advised me to stay in the crown prince, saying that since I was seriously ill, the situation in the DPRK and China was critical. There is also the fact that Wei Ji broke into the palace and seriously threatened the prince's position as the prince, which was a move to seize the heir. Do you think the crown prince and the king are impatient? ”

"Zhaoyang has just entered the palace and has already heard about last night's incident. But Wei Ji's intention of entering the palace is unclear, and it is difficult to say that he has the intention of breaking into the palace. The royal brother doesn't have to be so careful, he needs to visit and deal with it in detail. "Princess Zhaoyang didn't understand that before the matter of King Ding's night break into the inner garden was investigated, it was considered a naked act of seizing the heir by Taishi and other old ministers, which is really a bit puzzling.

Emperor Wei snorted coldly: "He doesn't dare to be so arrogant!" I don't want to talk about Ji'er, but the crown prince. Just now, the prince used this matter as an excuse to persuade me to give way to the prince, isn't this what the prince meant? ”

"Taishi's heart can be punished! What do they want to do! Brother Huang, this is a great treacherous crime, how can it be forgiven? Princess Zhaoyang was angry and angry, "If the prince really has this idea, it will be too chilling!" ”

Emperor Wei shook his head, his haggard face was desolate, "Imperial sister, have you seen clearly?" Since I became seriously ill, my control over the government has weakened, and those with bad intentions have begun to stir up. The crown prince was originally the prince, and now he is in charge of the country, he was so anxious because he was worried about the competition for the king, and he also found a high-sounding reason to persuade me to abdicate.

As for the king, he thought that the opportunity to make a move had come. He broke into the inner garden at night, he was testing me. If I want to punish him, he will naturally have his own set of exculpations. If I don't pursue it, he will be even more unscrupulous. ”

"Then what is the imperial brother going to do?" Princess Zhaoyang asked worriedly.

"What else can I do? I'll let them toss. ”

"It's just that Zhaoyang is worried about another layer, once the crown prince and King Ding fight, Dawei will fall into infighting. The Western Turkistan Kingdom in the west and the Southern Wu in the south will wait for an opportunity to disadvantage our Great Wei. In this way, the country's capital is shaken, but what should be done? Princess Zhaoyang was a little worried.

Emperor Wei sighed: "Among my brothers and sisters, you are the most knowledgeable, but it is a pity that you are a daughter. There is also a third brother, who is also counted as one, and sometimes he can share his worries for me. ”

"Your Majesty, Zhaoyang has an idea, but the premise is that the imperial brother must tell me his true thoughts. If the imperial brother decides to entrust Da Wei to the crown prince, he will gradually make an agreement with His Royal Highness. If the royal brother likes to set the king, he will take the opportunity to depose the crown prince. After all, the prince is suspected of forcing the palace, and seizing this reason can make a big fuss. ”

"I want to see what they want to do!" A hint of stubbornness flashed on Emperor Wei's face, "I supported King Ding at the beginning in order to balance the crown prince, so that the prince could have a sense of crisis, so that he could be conscientious. After all, the prince is related to the rise and fall of the national fortunes of the Great Wei, and the selection of the chief and the merit lies in the needs of the situation. If I give up Lichang, then I will be able to see who the sage is. ”

"In this way, Hao'er is smart and clever, and there is a chance?" Zhaoyang smiled and patted Xiao Weihao on the shoulder.

"He's too young, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for him to grow up." Emperor Wei glanced at Wei Hao lovingly, and said to Wei Hao: "Today is your mother's birthday, and I have another gift for her." Emperor Wei took out a small brocade box from the pillow, only a few inches in size, and handed it to Wei Hao.

"You know, this thing can only be seen by your mother alone." Emperor Wei touched Wei Hao's round head, "Hao'er, go." Father and Emperor also want to talk to your Imperial Aunt. ”

Princess Zhaoyang seemed to understand a little, "Brother Huang, do you know that Zhaoyang will come today?" ”

"Imperial sister, you have a very close personal relationship with Concubine Lan, today is her birthday, I expect you to come." Emperor Wei closed his eyes slightly, but there was still a hint of smiling cunning at the corner of his mouth.

"It turns out that the royal brother has not forgotten Concubine Lan's birthday?"

"How can I forget? Besides, I have been so fond of Concubine Lan all these years, what do you think is the reason? ”

Zhaoyang pretended to be contemplative, and then said with a light smile: "Brother Huang, don't think that your sister is stupid, Concubine Lan's brother, General Wei Huchen, is the commander of the Huwei Army, and he is ranked as a first-class military marquis. The Huwei Army is the closest army to Yanjing other than the Forbidden Army. Could it be that the imperial brother is ready to transfer Wei Huchen to Beijing? ”

Emperor Wei shook his head and said, "It's too early now, but I must plan ahead. Since Shu Pengju is the top figure in the sect, if he is not used by me, I will definitely have a way to replace him, and Wei Huchen is the best choice. ”

Princess Zhaoyang saw that Emperor Wei was leaning on a soft pillow and pretending to sleep, and she looked tired, so she said goodbye: "The imperial brother is also tired, and he should recuperate." Zhaoyang will retire. Princess Zhaoyang's eyes were red, and seeing that Emperor Wei was seriously ill and tired, she was not good to bother more, so she was ready to get up and say goodbye.

"Imperial sister, do you remember that Guigu Yang ten years ago?" Emperor Wei looked at the back of Princess Zhaoyang and said quietly.

"Zhaoyang, nature...... Remember. Princess Zhaoyang was stunned, turned around, and her face was full of suspicion.

"Ten years ago, I sent the Secret Spy Division to hunt down the Ghost Valley Sect, which made you feel guilty. Ay! I knew that you liked Guiguyang at the time, and it was because of this that I let him go in the end. Emperor Wei lowered his gaze, and those seemingly illusory past events flashed in his mind some clearly.

"Brother Huang mentioned the old thing today, what is it for?" Princess Zhaoyang's heart sank, and she couldn't help but be a little guarded.

"I'm sorry, Zhaoyang. Back then, I was annoyed that he betrayed me, and the power of the Guigu Gate continued to grow, and there were many people in the Guigu Gate, and they all infiltrated among officials and soldiers at all levels. If it is not cleared, it will inevitably erode our Great Wei regime. Speaking of the past more than ten years ago, Emperor Wei is still a little excited, this Guiguyang is a knot between his brothers and sisters. The past is like smoke, but this girl still hasn't let go.

"Betrayal? But Sister Chen doesn't think so. He just ran away in a negative mood back then, founded Guigumen, and roared the rivers and lakes. Later, the royal brother made a high-five with him, and the two have not been involved since then, does the imperial brother regret it? Princess Zhaoyang's tone was cold.

"I thought that time had passed, and now the Great Wei has entered a crisis. I'm going to open the Ghost Valley Gate. ”

"Xu Jiang and Guigu are deeply involved, why didn't Your Majesty hand it over to him to handle this matter?"

"Compared with the imperial sister, Xu Jiang is naturally more assured that the imperial sister will do it. Although I ordered Xu Jiang to handle this matter personally, who do I dare to believe in the current situation? Emperor Wei sighed, "Could it be that I have really become a loner?" ”

Princess Zhaoyang closed her eyes for a long time, and said angrily: "Your Majesty plans to use him again, and then kick him away when it's over?" ”

"Why should the royal sister be resentful? I intend to entrust this matter to you. If the Guigu Gate can be used by me, the imperial sister will be a great achievement. ”

Princess Zhaoyang muttered: "Well——, Zhaoyang can do his best. However, Zhaoyang had a request in front of His Majesty. After completing the task assigned by His Majesty, the Guigu Gate allowed them to retreat without taking the opportunity to cut them off. ”

"This is natural. You can tell Guigu Yang that after the matter is completed, I will allow him to re-train the court. Moreover, since Murong Juma died of illness, the imperial sister has been widowed in the mansion, and her life is dull and boring. Emperor Wei said.
