As soon as he heard this, the sweat on Gonggong Liu's head suddenly fell.

Although the emperor has intentionally or unintentionally cultivated the power of the four princes in the past two years, it is the first time that he has said something that he is not very satisfied with the crown prince from his mouth.

I thought that although this sentence was ambiguous, if it was spread out, it would cause turmoil in the court. Gonggong Liu walked to the door to look left and right, and called one of his disciples to guard, and then returned to the emperor's bookcase.

And looking at his actions, the corner of the emperor's mouth pulled a smile. In addition to the guards standing guard and patrolling on the surface, there are also layers of hidden guards to protect this palace, if you can even run out of your own imperial study, then this big merchant will have no safe place.

It's just that he is very satisfied that Gonggong Liu is so cautious.

Waiting for Gonggong Liu to arrive, the emperor then spoke: "Originally, I underestimated the little four, I can forbear, I can carry it, I can take risks, and I can also worry about the fifth child," As he spoke, he pushed away the ginseng soup bowl in front of him and stood up.

There are many words that he can't say easily as the emperor. But now he really had the urge to talk to someone. To be the king of a country, people all over the world admire. But the loneliness in it is known only to oneself.

You can't talk casually in the court, and you can't talk much with those old ministers who are about to cultivate to perfection, if you can't say whatever you want in your bedroom, it's really embarrassing.

Seeing this, Gonggong Liu hurriedly put away the ginseng soup bowl and followed behind the emperor step by step. He knew that at this time, the emperor did not need to answer now, but needed someone who could listen and speak.

Besides, how the emperor said that the crown prince and several princes can be used, and he is a eunuch, which cannot be easily evaluated.

Also, Gonggong Liu also understood in his heart that the reason why the emperor praised the fourth prince Xuanyuan Yu was that in addition to disgusting the prince who wanted to kill this time, there was another key reason, that is, if it wasn't for the four princes taking the carriage instead of Wei Qingluan's carriage, then Wei Qingluan's side would be in danger.

And according to the affection of the fifth prince Xuanyuan Che for Wei Qingluan, he would definitely not let Wei Qingluan take the risk alone.

In a nutshell, because the fourth prince took the risk instead of the fifth prince, the emperor praised him.

Thinking about the things that the emperor usually secretly did for Xuanyuan Che, Gonggong Liu sighed secretly in his heart. Even though the emperor has already cultivated copper heart and iron courage, he still has some warmth. Therefore, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor will reveal to the fifth prince his intention to pass on the throne to him.

It's a pity that the five princes have already been heartbroken before, and they have no heart to fight for Dabao.

In his ears, suddenly the emperor snorted coldly, and Gonggong Liu was excited, and hurriedly gathered his messy thoughts and continued to listen to the emperor.

"The prince really thought that his position was stable, so he dared to slaughter the entire Wei Village?" The emperor flicked his sleeves, walked to a row of cabinets in the corner of the main hall, patted the cabinets with his hand and said: "And before, he wanted to assassinate Lao Wu, secretly garrison the army, and win over officials everywhere, I really thought that I was old and confused, and I was getting more and more bold in doing things." ”

These cabinets are full of all the things that Prince Xuanyuan Hao and several other princes have done in the past few years. The cabinet photographed by the emperor is a book dedicated to the prince's affairs.

As he spoke, the emperor walked to the cabinet containing the fourth prince Xuanyuan Yu again, sneered, and continued: "The fourth child has grown. It's just that Fen'er got married, and he knew that Xue Qi was not a good person, but because of his own selfishness, he didn't even come over to me to ask Fen'er for intercession, which was really ruthless. ”

As the emperor, he also knew that the royal family was not allowed to act rashly, but Xuanyuan Yu didn't even dare to say a straight word in order to prevent Empress Xue from interfering in his own marriage, which still made him a little disappointed.

The emperor said it happily, and the sweat on Gonggong Liu's head came out.

Thanks to the special guards here, either the emperor dared to say these words, but he didn't even dare to listen to them.

Thinking about it, whether it is the crown prince or the fourth prince, the two of them are missing a step to consider. I don't want to think about it, although the emperor doesn't care about them on the surface, can he really be so relieved?

Their every move is under the emperor's nose.

The reason why the emperor is silent is not to observe the two of them, who is the most suitable candidate for the future succession?

On the emperor's side, the more he talked, the more excited he became, and he continued: "If it weren't for the fact that my body and bones have become worse and worse in the past few years, they really think that I am a vegetarian? ”

This sentence Liu Gonggong agrees, because the emperor fought the battlefield when he was young, although he also tried a lot of replenishment methods after becoming the emperor, but because of the loss, it was difficult to make up for it.

In the past few years, the countries on all sides of the Great Shang Dynasty were also ready to move, coupled with the increasingly fierce open and secret battles between the crown prince and the four princes, and internal and external troubles, which made the emperor exhausted, so he aged faster.

When he was outside, the emperor tried his best to maintain his majestic appearance, but when he returned to the Shenlong Palace and was alone, he would drink ginseng soup and other tonic things.

In the emperor's own words, it was because the task was not completed, so it could not fall.

But after listening to his words today, Gonggong Liu inexplicably felt that the task that the emperor said before was not the meaning that the country had not been pacified or that he had not yet supported the crown prince to ascend the throne as he understood before, but to re-select the person who would inherit the great treasure, right?

Thinking that if it was really as he thought, he was afraid that the court would still have to go through some changes, and Gonggong Liu secretly shuddered.

The emperor said it to himself, but his heart was much more relaxed.

He glanced at the smallest cabinet next to him and sighed softly. That cabinet is the cabinet of the fifth prince Xuanyuan Che, although this son is on the same page as him on the surface, but in fact, his things are simple.

Looking at the cabinet at the end, the emperor turned his head to look at Gonggong Liu, and wanted to say that he would be carried out and destroyed, but he still frowned and did not say this, but changed the subject: "Where is Shi Yunqing now?" ”

Shi Yunqing secretly went to the northwest frontier to investigate Xue Qi's affairs, and the emperor also knew about it, and also sent someone to follow secretly.

Of course, the emperor didn't send someone to follow Shi Yunqing because he felt sorry for Xuanyuan Fen and had the same idea as Wei Qingluan. He also wanted to know what was going on with Xue Qi's body, and he didn't want to be deceived.

In this world of great businessmen, the emperor will never allow anything that others know but don't know, at least not when he is alive.

Regarding the emperor's thoughts, Gonggong Liu has already figured it out thoroughly.

Seeing him ask Shi Yunqing, he hurriedly stepped forward, held the emperor's hand, and replied in a low voice while taking the emperor to the brocade couch: "The servants just received a message from the flying pigeon last night, and they have arrived near the Heishui River. ”
