The words were divided into two ends, Guo Chunhai came to the Dadu Governor's Mansion with the Holy Decree and a group of cavalry. Knock.

The housekeeper answered the door, first saw Gonggong Guo, asked about the intention, only to know that the holy decree had arrived, and hurriedly let the group into the door, and said to the subordinates: "Go quickly and tell Your Highness, the holy decree has arrived." ”

Tomorrow is the day when his father ascends the throne, and when the time comes, the candidate for the prince will inevitably be announced, and Zhao Hui guesses that his father will inevitably appoint the eldest brother as the prince and become the next emperor. He had already thought about it, when the time came, he would directly lead his own soldiers and enter the Taiji Hall in advance to ambush, once things changed, he would order the Qianniu Army to quickly control the Taiji Palace, force his father to take the throne, and canonize himself as the prince! In case of strong resistance, the rebellion will be quelled by the Xiaoguo army and their own soldiers. He's already arranged everything for tomorrow.

But Zhao Hui has never been so uneasy as he is today. Irritable in his heart, he knew that forcing the palace to take the Zen position, blackmailing his father and killing his brother, this would leave a stinking history in the history books, but it will definitely follow the stories of its predecessors, make great efforts, and bring the Great Chu Dynasty to a prosperous and powerful historical peak.

Tossing and turning, he was pacing back and forth in the study, and suddenly heard the holy decree arrive, he calmed down and ordered someone to burn incense in the front hall to file a case and accept the decree.

Zhao Hui came to the front hall, first saw Guo Chunhai with a tired face and sweat on his forehead, obviously he had done a lot of hard work before, and then looked at the people who followed him, it was not the guards of the Qianniu Army who were responsible for passing on the edict, but the Yulin Army. This surprised him.

No matter what hesitation and doubt, at this moment, when the decree comes, he will kneel down and listen to it.

"Hui'er, I feel that my time is short, especially Xiao'er. I have a lot of things I want to say to Xiao'er in my heart, and I hope that Xiao'er will enter the palace to accompany his father and say a few words. Chin this! ”

After Guo Chunhai finished reading the edict, he handed over the holy decree to Zhao Hui, and said to him: "Your Majesty has been coughing in Chunhua Hall tonight, and has vomited blood many times.

Zhao Hui looked at him as if he was a fake, thinking that his father had given birth to him and raised him for decades after all, and when he was in Bintian, as a son of man, he should go to visit him, otherwise even if he became the emperor, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world would say that he was unkind and cruel in the future.

Now that everything else has been arranged, even if things change suddenly, they can adapt to the situation, and nothing will happen. After figuring these out, Zhao Hui has no psychological burden. He said to Guo Chunhai: "I'll clean up and enter the palace with you immediately." ”

Guo Chunhai wiped his tears, nodded, and said, "Okay, the old slave is waiting for you outside!" ”

If Guo Chunhai was in a hurry to let Zhao Hui enter the palace, it would inevitably cause Zhao Hui to notice, but it would backfire, so he simply pushed the boat down the river and waited outside the door.

Sure enough, Zhao Hui saw that Guo Chunhai looked unhurried, and the hidden worries in his heart dissipated, but this matter was related to his own life, and he had to take precautions, and after entering the door, he said to Ding Liang, the most trusted captain of the pro-soldier school: "I will go into the palace now to see my father, and after I leave for a while, you will take my jade talisman and take your own soldiers to find Cheng Shide, and tell him that everything will be done according to the agreement, and pay attention to the movements in the palace." Once you see the signal from the palace, immediately lead your troops into the palace to Qin Wang! ”

Ding Liang took the jade talisman from Zhao Hui's hand and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, your humble position will definitely live up to your trust!" Suddenly, he said: "Your Majesty has always treated you and His Royal Highness with a difference in intimacy, and now I am afraid it is not appropriate to summon you late at night, otherwise, can we not go?" ”

Zhao Hui shook his head and sighed: "After all, he is my father, and there are some things that must be done." You must remember my words and act according to the plan! ”

"Yes"

Seeing that Zhao Hui had entered the palace, Guo Chunhai and his entourage walked at the end of the guard quietly separated from the team, and after leaving the palace, they rode straight to Jingzhao Mansion on a fast horse.

Jingzhao Mansion Office, Fang Qian was like an ant on a hot pot in the hall of the government at the moment, suddenly pacing back and forth in the hall, suddenly looking out of the door, and suddenly looking for the government to ask if everything was properly arranged, whether the personnel were complete, and the government was also like a fried pot, and there were people in the entire government who were busy coming and going.

Just when Fang Qian was impatient, the Yulin Army guards finally came and told him that His Royal Highness had entered the palace. He hurriedly summoned the officials and said to the people: "From now on, immediately go to all the streets of Los Angeles and issue an order to clean the streets of the whole city, and anyone who disobeys the order will be arrested immediately." Those who take advantage of the opportunity to rob or steal shall be arrested immediately. ”

As if thinking of something again, he said to one of the officials: "You go to Suzaku Street quickly, and tell the general, that we have issued an order to clean the street, in order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to rape. Lewd robbery, please get ready. ”

"Yes, the little one will go right away." The officer took the order and departed.

The officials of Jingzhao Mansion and Zhang Cheng left a brigade of 100 people to Fang Qian, a total of 300 people, acted separately one after another, holding gongs, and issued a street cleaning order to the whole city.

"Your Majesty has an order, from now on, the people of the whole city are not allowed to move around at will, pedestrians return home, merchants are closed, officials of all sizes in the city are not allowed to go out, and those who violate the order are immediately arrested!"

"Your Majesty has an order, from now on, the people of the whole city are not allowed to move around at will, pedestrians return home, merchants are closed, officials of all sizes in the city are not allowed to go out, and those who violate the order are immediately arrested!"

"Your Majesty has an order, from now on, the people of the whole city are not allowed to move around at will, pedestrians return home, merchants are closed, officials of all sizes in the city are not allowed to go out, and those who violate the order are immediately arrested!"

This order spread incessantly in the Gyeonggi region of Los Angeles, and the people of the city were already asleep, and there were no pedestrians on the streets, but because of this order, many people were awakened, and they opened the doors, rested the cracks, and looked at the government officials who were shouting back and forth in the streets.

Zhongshu ordered Xiao Zhongchang to stay in the house, he didn't sleep at this time, he heard the noise on the street, the housekeeper came in and told him that His Majesty had issued a street cleaning order, Xiao Zhong didn't speak for a long time, suddenly looked at the sky, and muttered: "God bless Your Majesty, God bless Da Chu."

And the other civil and military officials, when they heard the order on the street at this moment, speculated in their hearts, and they all made all kinds of exclamations.

Zhang Cheng, who was waiting on Vermilion Bird Street at this moment, saw that Zhao Hui had entered the palace, and after receiving Fang Qian's message, he immediately understood that Lord Fang was worried that some soldiers would take the opportunity to do wrong, so he immediately said to Qi Tian beside him: "Qi Tian, you take a brigade of soldiers and horses from the barracks to form a supervision team. Whoever takes prostitution, harasses the people, or commits misdeeds, shall be summarily executed. ”

When Qi Tian heard this, he solemnly received his order. Immediately turned around and left with a hundred people.

Zhang Cheng turned to Feng Jingyu and said: "After you lead the Flying Tiger Brigade into the palace for a while, if you hear the sound of fighting in the palace, you will lead the Flying Tiger Brigade to climb over the wall and enter, enter from the Taihe Palace, and go straight to the Chunhua Hall to protect Your Majesty." When you encounter the resistance of the Thousand Niu Army, kill them on the spot! You should know how big your mission is! If it doesn't work out, you don't want to come back to see me! I don't have my life either, waiting for you to come to me. You know? ”

When Feng Jingyu heard this, he stood still and gave a military salute, he was solemn, and said loudly: "General rest assured, even if Feng Jingyu is dead, he must ensure that the task is completed!" Protect Your Majesty! Never give up! ”

"Good! Go get ready! Zhang Cheng glanced at the Flying Tiger Brigade behind Feng Jingyu and said.

The Flying Tiger Brigade responded and left.

Then Zhang Cheng said to Boss Zhang: "Boss Zhang, from now on, I will hand over the personal guard battalion to you to command, and you have to take out the heroic wind that was in Zhenxiong Pass back then, do you know?" ”

Boss Zhang suddenly received the order, he patted his chest and said: "General rest assured, Boss Zhang will never live up to the general's expectations!" ”

Zhang Cheng nodded, and said to the Northland Division and Yulin Army beside him: "Brothers, tonight is the moment when my Northland Division once again makes meritorious contributions to the imperial court and establishes supreme glory!" Let's go! ”

Coming to the gate of the palace, Zhang Cheng asked the whole army to hide and wait for orders.

At this time, outside the Chunhua Palace, Zhao Hui had already come to the door, and Ye Xun, the general of the Thousand Niu Army, also inspected here at this time, and when he saw Zhao Hui coming, he was stunned at first, and when he saw Zhao Hui's inquiring gaze, Ye Xun nodded, as if telling him that everything was ready.

Seeing him nodding, Zhao Hui felt a little relieved, tidied up his clothes, and then whispered at the door: "The son asks to see his father." ”

An old, low and weak voice came from the hall: "Is Xiao'er here?" Come on in! It's cold outside. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hui was moved, the title of "Xiao'er" was still the name of His Majesty before he served as prime minister when he was in the palace, and how kind his father was to him at that time. Thinking of many things when he was a child, Zhao Hui's heart couldn't help but soften, but when he thought of his father's blind favoritism and love for his eldest brother over the years, and he was much colder to himself, his heart hardened again.

After settling down, he glanced at Ye Xun, the general of the Qianniu Army beside him, before stepping in.

When I entered the hall, I first heard my father's coughing sound getting worse and worse, empty and short, I am afraid that it is really as Guo Chunhai said, my father is terminally ill, and time is short. Above the main hall, I saw Zhao Mu sitting on the bookcase on the kang, holding a letter and looking at it.

Zhao Hui knelt on the ground and shouted softly: "The son knocks to see his father." May my father's body recover soon" said something that even he didn't believe.

Seeing Zhao Hui kneeling on the ground and saying such a sentence, he was quite emotional in his heart. He couldn't help but think that if he really had such a loving heart, he would never have come to this point. The emotion in his heart, he would never say it anyway.

"Hurry up, little one, sit down." Zhao Mu pointed to the seat next to Zhao Hui and said.

Zhao Hui got up from the ground and sat down as he said.

"Xiao'er, in this Chunhua Hall today, you and I, father and son, have something to say to my father, I want to talk to you." At this moment, Zhao Mu, just like when he was in the palace, was very kind to Zhao Hui.

Zhao Hui looked respectful on the surface, listened as a gesture, and asked at the same time: "Erchen listens to the teachings of the emperor. It's just that, Father, it's late at night, can your body support it? ”

"It's okay, my body can still hold up for a few days!" Zhao Mu looked at Zhao Hui with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see his mind through, Zhao Hui's words were nothing more than the intention of inquiry, which made Zhao Mu's heart a little sad, compared to the words he had just heard about Zhao Hui, his tone was obviously indifferent, and he said again after a long while: "Xiao'er"

Hearing his father calling him, Zhao Hui glanced up at Zhao Mu, and met Zhao Mu's burning gaze, Zhao Hui lowered his head again, as if a child who had made a mistake and was discovered by his father, he couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart, but after all, he was the governor who had led the troops for more than ten years, and he still calmed down, met Zhao Mu's gaze, and asked respectfully: "Father"

"Since you were twenty-five years old and your mother died, your father has cared less and less about you. Over the years, I have seen you come and go in the wind and rain alone, bloody battlefields, and make great achievements for the imperial court, and while being proud of your father, I found that I cared less and less about you. Thinking about it tonight, there is a sentence for my father, and I still want to ask, what have you gained by relying on your own efforts and continuous progress over the years? Or rather, what do you value most? Zhao Mu asked lightly.

At first hearing this, Zhao Hui sighed in his heart, his heart was like turning over the river and the sea, and he had not spoken for a long time. Zhao Hui lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he raised his head again and said to Zhao Mu: "Father, since Erchen joined the army at the age of eighteen, Erchen has only one belief in his heart. It is this belief that has always supported Erchen to be willing to risk the crisis of life and death, and he has never taken half a step back. Over the years, the sons and eldest brothers have been in the court, you have earned me, are you all for the realization of this belief? Didn't my father really know? However, even if the father knows, the father has always favored the eldest brother. There is a folk word called protecting the calf, although it is not good, but it is a wise saying. Parents prefer the youngest son, but why has everything changed with the father? ”

Without waiting for Zhao Mu to speak, Zhao Hui seemed to pour out all the grievances he had suffered over the years, he knelt down and faced Zhao Mu and said, "What's so good about big brother?" In troubled times, only force can conquer the world? Could it be that by virtue of the work of civil governance, we can sweep away the world and clear the world? The sons and daughters made great contributions to the court and the birth and death of the Great Chu Dynasty, but in the eyes of his father, it is not as good as the eldest brother to deal with a flood in the rear and relieve a natural disaster. If you want to talk about preference, over the years, has your preference for your eldest brother really been less? ”

Zhao Mu looked at Zhao Hui lightly, who was speechless in order to vent the grievances in his heart, and couldn't speak for a long time
