"What does Sister Xiaoyu want to say?" Zhao Li asked suspiciously and a little apprehensively.

"I want a word from you!" Jiang Xiaoyu looked at Zhao Li's eyes and said, "Do you want to be the emperor?" ”

Zhao Li's eyes rolled and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Do you want to be an emperor? Will it be able to appease the affairs of the court? Jiang Xiaoyu asked, still staring at Zhao Li's eyes.

"It's not a question of whether I want to or not, this is my father's ......" Zhao Li said and suddenly paused, staring at Jiang Xiaoyu with wide eyes, "No, Sister Xiaoyu, what do you mean, do you want to ...... No, no! It's too dangerous! ”

"You're an incredibly smart kid, and you should have guessed what we were trying to do!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "I want to leave the capital with Zhao Lingping safely, and I can't let the Chu Palace, the Jin Palace, and the Jiang family be implicated, I have no other way to choose!" And we don't want to let Da Zhou fall into turmoil, so if we succeed, there must be a person who can stabilize the overall situation, although you are young, the fifth prince, but you are by no means a simple child, dare to ask if you have the courage! ”

"But that's my father, I can't agree to do this......" The emotions in Zhao Li's eyes were very complicated.

Jiang Xiaoyu sneered and said, "Think about your brothers, they treat Your Majesty as a father, but Your Majesty treats them as sons?" Your Majesty is moody, if you and your mother don't want to end up like your brothers, it's better to make a decision earlier! Whether it's for yourselves, or for Concubine Qi in the palace, or Zhao Ling outside the palace! ”

"The stakes are high, let me think about it first!" Zhao Li's face flushed with nervousness, and he bit his lip tightly, his heart was numb.

Since his father killed his second brother, he has gone crazy, so many people have died in the palace, who knows who will be next, he and his mother are also trembling, if you want to protect yourself, the temptation of this throne is indeed big enough...... However, that is the father, can he really cooperate with them to do such a devastating thing? And this matter is dangerous, can you be sure enough to fight against your father? It's just that if you don't do it, not only Brother Zhao Ling, but the entire Chu Palace, I'm afraid that there is a danger of overturning, Zhao Quan and himself are brothers who are like each other, can they ignore it?

What should I do?

Zhao Li bit his lip, thought for a moment and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, do you know why I want to worship General Sun Chi as my riding master?" ”

"I thought this was what His Majesty meant!" Jiang Xiaoyu said.

"Actually, this is the meaning of the King of Chu, or this is the meaning of Brother Zhao Ling, which was conveyed to me by Zhao Quan!" Zhao Li said, "With my father's suspicions, if he has the heart to make me the crown prince, he will naturally not allow a character like Changsun Hu to exist, so the greater the power of Changsun Chi, the greater the influence on me, it will definitely be intolerable to my father!" ”

Zhao Li swallowed his saliva: "This matter is very important, I still need to discuss it with my mother again, but no matter whether my mother will agree, I will not betray you, I can promise you this!" ”

"If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have come to tell you these things!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "There are many dangers, there is no turning back when you open the bow, you really need to think clearly, and it is good to discuss it with Concubine De Niangniang!" We shouldn't spend too much time together, if there is nothing else, you can go back to the palace too! ”

"Then Ping'er will go back to the palace first, whether the mother agrees or not, I will give you an answer!" After Zhao Li finished speaking, he went out of the door, Jiang Haoran peeked inside, Jiang Xiaoyu made a gesture, asking him to follow, no need to enter again, he just followed, seeing that Zhao Li's face was a little heavy, he asked curiously, "What did my sister tell you?" Why don't you look right? ”

"You don't want to know about this for the time being, I'll tell you when I have a chance in the future!" Zhao Li said with a calm face, "You go back with me, although you know that he is Sister Xiaoyu, but for the sake of safety, unless she has something to add to you, don't go to her easily!" ”

"Of course I know that!" Jiang Haoran said, "It's just that if my sister's matter makes you embarrassed, you can also refuse, I guess she is for Brother Zhao Ling's matter...... Why don't you let me figure out a way with Zhao Quan! ”

"I'm measured!" Zhao Li patted Jiang Haoran on the shoulder, "It's okay!" ”

All the way back to the palace, Zhao Li thought alone for a long time, in the end, he was still too young to make up his mind, and this matter still needs to be discussed with his mother.

As soon as he arrived at Concubine De's palace, Zhao Li saw that his mother was crying, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" What happened? ”

"Someone just came, on the orders of His Majesty, and took your brother away!" Concubine De said with tears in her eyes.

"What!" Zhao Li's face changed slightly, "What does Father want to do?" ”

Concubine De sneered: "Who knows what your father is thinking in his heart!" ”

Zhao Li squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Erchen probably knows what his father is thinking in his heart, he wants me and the sixth brother to be like the second brother and the third brother, opposing each other, biting each other and tempering, if we all grow up by the side of the mother concubine, and the brotherly relationship is deep, it will not achieve the effect he wants!" ”

"Every tragedy happened in front of his eyes, didn't he learn a lesson!" Concubine De scolded, "He only has a few sons in total, and now there are only two seedlings left, what else is he going to do, what else is he going to do!" Does he have to bring disaster to his sons? ”

"Now my father is crazy, he only has his imperial cause in his eyes, only his power, as long as his imperial power, family and human relations are no longer worth mentioning in his eyes, the only value of my brother and I may be to continue his glorious reign, but this result may be that only one person between me and my brother can go to the end! If he chooses his younger brother in the end, and his younger brother is still young, with his temperament, he will inevitably kill his mother! ”

A touch of ruthlessness appeared in Zhao Li's eyes, and he paused and said: "Mother, in fact, there is one thing I couldn't make up my mind about before Fang Cai, but now I can't help but make a decision!" Mother, listen, Jiang Xiaoyu has found me! ”

"What? She's back? Concubine De said in surprise.

"Yes, she is back, and she wants to save Brother Zhao Ling from the capital and leave her father's demon grasp!" Zhao Li said.

"Shizi's current situation is dangerous, and she wants to save him from leaving, which is understandable......"

"Mother, listen to me first!" Zhao Li continued, "What Xiaoyu's sister-in-law means is that if Brother Zhao Ling is rescued, then the Chu Palace, the Jin Palace, and the Jiang Mansion, and even you and I may be implicated, and there will be other troubles, in order to prevent me from going down the path of the second brother and the third brother with the sixth brother, and for the safety of all of us, including the concubine Qi in the palace, she plans to find a way to assassinate her father!" ”

"What!" Concubine De's face changed greatly, she hurriedly glanced around, lowered her voice and said, "This is what she told you?" This matter is too dangerous, the whole world is in the hands of His Majesty, is there any chance to have this opportunity! If it fails, then everyone is finished, this idea is too risky, and it needs to be considered in the long run! ”

"It turns out that the mother concubine is concerned about our safety, not reluctant to be reluctant to her father, this is easy to do!" The cold color in Zhao Li's eyes was even heavier, "Does my father really control the world?" At least the hearts of our people have long been lost, and there are not a few people in this capital who are afraid of the moodiness of their father, and they are not without opportunities! And if it is successful, Erchen is the new emperor! ”

"You want to be this emperor?" Concubine De looked at Zhao Li's eyes and asked.

"I didn't have this idea before, but in order to protect the concubine, to protect the people I want to protect, I have no other way, if there is no better candidate, why can't I be the emperor?" Zhao Li said coldly, "Don't say anything to go down in peace, let my father give me the throne himself, with his temperament, he can't tolerate an excellent prince, and he can't get used to a mediocre prince, he will definitely not let me settle down!" ”

Concubine De thought for a moment, bit her lip, a ruthless color appeared in her eyes, and said, "If you decide, then do it!" If you succeed, everyone will be happy, if you fail, it's a big deal for everyone to go to Huangquan together! More than ten years ago, if it weren't for the first queen, you and my mother and son would have died a long time ago, and our mother and son would have returned her life! ”

"If the mother concubine agrees, the son will contact Xiaoyu's sister-in-law again!" Zhao Li said, "This matter is very important, either you don't do it, or you must be foolproof if you want to do it!" And according to Xiaoyu's sister-in-law, assassinating my father and emperor is one thing, on the other hand, to avoid turmoil, and appeasing the courtiers is what we should do! ”

"If you can't even do this thing, how can you be an emperor!" Concubine De said, "Ping'er, although you are young, you are a paying attention person, what you have to do, the mother concubine will support you!" But you have to remember that you are young after all, and any decision must be discussed with Xiaoyu and them, and you must not act rashly! Moreover, after Xiao Yu returned to the capital, he must have contacted the Jin Wangfu first, and if there is something to pay attention to, he will go to the Jin King first! ”

"Yes, Erchen knows, Mother Concubine!" Zhao Li knelt in front of Concubine De, "The son is not filial, he can't let the mother concubine enjoy the happiness, and he wants the mother concubine to follow her son to take risks and be afraid together!" ”

"Get up!" Concubine De pulled Zhao Li up, "Our mother and son are one heart, I will do whatever you do, there is nothing that is not involved, everything is providential, everything is the mother concubine's willingness!" ”
