In the capital, above the court, the second prince sat on the throne of the prince of the prison country. He was one step away from this position.

At this time, the tide had already receded, and all the officials were gone, and only Xie Guangxi, an old minister, remained in the Jinluan Palace. The second prince looked at this old minister of the Three Dynasties, thinking that he would have many problems when he saw him, at least he wanted Xie Guangxi to explain why he was against him.

But when the second prince saw Xie Guangxi, he seemed to understand that words had long been meaningless. This is a lonely minister, a courtier who does not form a party or engage in personal interests, and is extremely loyal. And such a courtier is against him for only one reason, and that is that the one to whom he is loyal is not satisfied with him.

The second prince thought about it carefully, and then asked Xie Guangxi, "Father, when did you get better?" ”

Xie Guangxi's eyes were lowered, and he looked like an old man who was not in good spirits, but when he heard the words of the second prince, he looked at the future prince with appreciative eyes. This prince is indeed extraordinary, and he has already guessed the truth without saying a word.

No wonder the previous crown prince Li Gan died without knowing anything, Li Gan became the prince by taking advantage of his eldest son, but he was more than a step worse than Li Ce in his turn.

Xie Guangxi said to the second prince respectfully: "Your Majesty's affairs, the old minister does not dare to talk nonsense. ”

The second prince didn't care about him, and said to himself: "Father's illness should not be fake, otherwise there wouldn't be so many imperial doctors helpless, even the emperor's uncle and ancestor have come to see his father, and they haven't seen anything wrong." So my father's injury is real, but I don't know when he got better.

"Now that I think about it, my father is indeed very eccentric, he made the crown prince early seventeen years ago, as if he knew that he would be seriously ill and bedridden. Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to become seriously ill, and then the crown prince was in prison. This brother did not lose anything, but when he was young, he did not understand authoritarianism, and when I grew up, I felt that I threatened his position, so I caused so much trouble.

"Now that the prince's brother has just left, an old minister like you dares to oppose me, which is obviously the order of my father. In other words, the father and emperor have been watching the affairs of the court from beginning to end, but he has been pretending to be sick...... No, I know very well how much my prince's brother has to do, and he can't think of going to the front line to encourage negotiations with the barbarians to reverse the defeat. It was his father who personally reminded him to let him continue to sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince.

"So, in fact, my father has been getting better a long time ago, but he has been pretending to be sick. He is the king of a country, why do he have to hide? What is he hiding, ...... seventeen years ago"

Speaking of this, the second prince had a shocked look on his face.

What happened seventeen years ago, everyone in the Wu Dynasty knows. Li Daren, the son of the king of Zhaoyang, was born, but he was entered by the cold qi and was judged to live no more than one year old. King Zhaoyang resigned from his post as a result, and then used all means to renew Li Daren's life.

In the past seventeen years, the Zhaoyang Royal Mansion has almost lost all its wealth, and countless famous doctors and martial arts masters have worked together to barely let Li Daren live to the age of seventeen. If it weren't for the luck of this prince to meet Xu Lin, and Xu Lin raised a scourge that could only spit out samadhi true fire, I am afraid that he would have been buried long ago.

And if the emperor pretended to be sick for more than ten years because of this incident, wouldn't it be said that the cold qi in Li Daren was done by the emperor?

The second prince was frightened by his own speculation, how bold was his father back then, wasn't he afraid that King Zhaoyang would directly rebel?

Xie Guangxi sighed, he didn't expect the second prince to think so much just by speculation. It's a pity that the second prince was too young when he was appointed as the crown prince seventeen years ago, otherwise he would have been too peaceful in the world if he was chosen as the prince.

Seventeen years ago, the old emperor Li Feng still had the ambition to become the wisest king of the Wu Dynasty. But since he ascended the throne, he found a problem, that is, the Wu Dynasty has the King of Zhaoyang, the powerful military god, seventy percent of the Wu Dynasty's army is his descendant, and the remaining thirty percent are all respectful to him like a god.

Although the king of Zhaoyang is very capable of fighting, he can fight all the way to the barbarian king's tent. But this is the merit of the King of Zhaoyang, and the whole world knows that it was the King of Zhaoyang who opened up the territory and expanded the territory for the Wu Dynasty, and it was the King of Zhaoyang who allowed the people to live and work in peace and contentment...... Everything is the King of Zhaoyang, and few people even remember what the emperor's name is.

Li Feng couldn't bear it, he was a Ming Jun who wanted to leave his name in history, how could he let a courtier steal all the limelight. Don't wait until a hundred years later, the history books that record him, the emperor, only have a year of birth and death, and nothing else, and King Zhaoyang is afraid that there are dozens of pages, and he needs to write a big book.

With this thought, Li Feng looked at King Zhaoyang more and more unpleasantly. And King Zhaoyang is Li Feng's imperial uncle in terms of seniority, coupled with his proud temperament, he does not pretend to be the emperor, which makes Li Feng more and more dissatisfied.

The greater the prejudice, the more Li Feng felt that the king of Zhaoyang was self-respecting, and he was afraid that he had the intention of rebellion in his heart. Li Feng always thought about killing the King of Zhaoyang so that he could keep his throne. It's just that the power of King Zhaoyang is monstrous, and his martial arts are extremely high, and Li Feng found that he had no way to kill this imperial uncle.

Countless evil thoughts entangled in Li Feng's heart, making him more and more unable to hold back, and finally he didn't know where to find a broken immortal magic weapon. It contains an extremely cold aura, I wanted to use this magic weapon fragment to deal with the Zhaoyang King, who would have thought that the killer sent out failed to succeed, and this cold aura was blocked by the Zhaoyang King's wife.

Princess Zhaoyang died on the spot, and the child, who had been pregnant for ten months, was also invaded by the cold air and was judged to live no longer than a year old.

King Zhaoyang was furious, and personally tore the killer into dozens of pieces of minced meat.

When Li Feng learned of this, he was so frightened that the six gods were left without a master. He feared day and night that King Zhaoyang would kill the palace and tear him apart as well. However, after waiting for a few days, he found that King Zhaoyang didn't have time to care about him, the mastermind behind the scenes, and was wholeheartedly using his true qi to expel the cold qi for Li Daren.

The baby's body is extremely fragile, and the King of Zhaoyang must pay full attention, where can he take revenge. After a few days of delay, King Zhaoyang didn't have time to find the mastermind behind the scenes, so Li Feng took this opportunity to erase all the clues left, but he himself fell ill because of fear.

The disease can be quite severe, and it has been on the verge of dying several times. No one knew the cause, so naturally he couldn't prescribe the right medicine, Li Feng lay half-dead on the bed, so he had to designate his eldest son Li Gan as the crown prince and be in charge of supervising the country.

Later, King Zhaoyang resigned from all his positions for the sake of Li Daren's affairs, and seemed to ignore everything, Li Feng was a little relieved, and his condition improved. But he didn't dare to get better completely, for fear of attracting the attention of King Zhaoyang, so he simply kept hiding behind the scenes.

It took a long time for the second prince to calm himself down, and then asked Xie Guangxi, "Governor Xie, I only have one question in the end. Father, what does he want to do in Tiannan? ”

Before Xie Guangxi could answer, the second prince heard an old voice coming from behind him: "What do I want to do?" Of course, it is to let the Wu Dynasty for thousands of generations, and let the world know who is the real emperor of the Wu Dynasty. ”

The second prince turned his head and saw his father, who was so thin that he was almost bone, sitting on the dragon chair, looking at him with burning eyes.
