Chapter 258: Royal Calculations

No one could have imagined that there was a secret room in a place like the imperial study, and when Wei Qianzhong turned the small hidden bowl on the top of the small hidden frame after Emperor Wu Cheng's koi play lotus picture, the well-hidden secret door next to it slowly opened. Wei Qianzhong took out the two egg-sized night pearls that had been prepared, and the dark room was instantly clear at a glance, and after the two of them covered their noses and walked for a while, the unpleasant smell finally passed.

At the end of the secret room, a man was imprisoned, and next to him, there was some dry food and water.

The man had his head hanging down, his hair was disheveled, and he was in a very poor state of mind, and even when he heard footsteps, he still did not respond.

Emperor Wu Cheng didn't seem surprised, he walked over directly, picked his chin with two fingers, and the man opened his eyes and looked at him, straight.

The man was scrawny and skinny, but he looked like a seven-point sage in the saints today.

Emperor Wu Cheng didn't seem surprised that he looked directly at Tianyan's offense, "Brother Huang, do you remember what Master Wuye said forty years ago?" ”

"You don't want to say? Then I told you for you, right? After bending down for a while, he felt tired and sat down on the chair behind Wei Qianzhong that he had already prepared, "The old bald donkey of Wuye said that the chosen one will come to the world, and it will be the time of the change of dynasty, and the person he chooses will become the lord of the world!" I still remember this sentence. ”

"The Chosen One has reappeared?" The man asked in a hoarse voice.

Papapa, Emperor Wucheng clapped his hands, "The imperial brother is still as smart as ever, and he really deserves to be the one who is highly praised by the imperial examination for the throne!" That's right, the Chosen One has appeared again! ”

"You're not worried about the instability of your throne?"

"Haha, joke, what do I have to worry about? It's not like I haven't killed the Chosen One! Besides, Brother Huang, if what Master Wuye said is true, then the emperors of these decades were stolen by me, and even if I return them now, I will not lose anything! ”

"By the way, who was the last Chosen One? Xun Jin! This chosen person with eyes and no beads, he wants to assist you in ascending the throne, what happened in the end? Dead, and you? How many years have you been imprisoned in this chamber? Twenty years, right? Why don't you die? ”

"Because you're the one who doesn't want me to die!"

"Yes, I let you live, there is nothing I can't do if I want to do, whoever I want to die has to die, and whoever I want to live, I have to live! I just want you to live, to see the world prosper day and become more and more prosperous under my governance, so that the emperor can know that he is wrong, and you are not the only one who is suitable to be the lord of this world, I am the most suitable person! "Emperor Wucheng is chattering.

Wei Qianzhong stayed away from afar, and he really wanted to close his ears and become temporarily deaf.

After a while, Emperor Wu Cheng seemed to come back to his senses and began to call Wei Qianzhong, calling a few times in a row, and Wei Qianzhong appeared only the third time.

"How did it happen? What did you just hear? Emperor Wu Cheng stared at Wei Qianzhong with gloomy eyes.

"The emperor is angry, the slave is old, he can't sleep well at night, he will fall asleep just now, did you have any instructions just now?" Wei Qianzhong said tremblingly.

The moment he lowered his head, the man looked up, glanced at him faintly, and said nothing.

"It's okay, you go out first, I'll come in a while."

Before Wei Qianzhong left, he couldn't help but glance at the third prince who was most likely to ascend the throne back then, and thought to himself, this is really worthy of being the most powerful person to ascend the throne back then, and his determination is beyond what ordinary people think.

As the saying goes, emperors are suspicious, and the princes and grandchildren are not far behind. Thinking about how many talents the three princes recruited by relying on their own personality charm, even the famous Xun Jin was taken in by him, but unfortunately these talents finally left him one by one under the calculation of Emperor Wucheng.

In fact, he didn't lose too unjustly, who told him to be able to anticipate the enemy's opportunities in everything today, relying on this, he stimulated the little suspicion of the three princes to the extreme, which forced away most of the talented people around him, and ended up in prison, sadly, everyone thought he was dead, but he was actually secretly imprisoned here by the saint.

It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, Xun Jin, who was forced away, came to the present side, and in the end he did not fall well - I can't think about it anymore, Wei Qianzhong can follow the emperor for so many years, relying on knowledge, closing his eyes and ears, closing his mouth, and being less curious, so that he can live longer.

Unexpectedly, this glance was seen by Emperor Wu Cheng, and his originally relaxed eyes became extremely gloomy again.

"Brother Emperor, these Chosen People have a benefit, let me see who is most likely to become the next Emperor! Brother Huang, are you right? ”

"Zhao Qian's move has been arranged by that person's side for more than 20 years, and it has finally paid off." Emperor Wu Cheng sat in the imperial study, playing with the letter in his hand, "What's that kid's name?" ”

Emperor Wu Cheng's words had no beginning or end, but Wei Qianzhong still understood, "Zhao Junxian." ”

"Hmph, Tiger Father and Dog, in addition to his talent in tinkering with those bottles and cans over the years, he has really completely failed his father's reputation in other aspects!" Obviously, Emperor Wu Cheng had a deep prejudice against him, "I have been so disappointed in him that I am about to give up all these years." ”

Wei Qianzhong slapped in his heart, the emperor is true, the last time he mentioned him, the emperor regretted more than once that he had arranged such a good chess piece as Zhao Qian by his side, and he stayed for more than 20 years, which was a waste.

"Zhao Qian's letter said that Ge Rumo is suspected of being the chosen one."

The emperor raised his hand to stop his unfinished words, "Zhao Qian, don't you understand?" I don't like to talk about things, and since he said it is suspicious, he is at least eight points sure. ”

"Your Majesty, Ge Rumo is a woman." Wei Qianzhong had to remind him.

"What's wrong with women, which rule says that the chosen one cannot be a woman? I just thought too limited before. The emperor was unimpressed.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that in case, I will disappoint you then."

"If Ge Rumo is not the chosen one, then Zhao Junxian doesn't have to stay! But I, ahem, have a hunch that it is really the chosen one. "Emperor Wu Cheng really doesn't have the patience to wait any longer.

Wei Qianzhong's head was pressed even lower, and in the past two years, the emperor's patience has become less and less.

"When did this letter arrive?" The emperor asked.

"It's been a few days, and the Secret Guard didn't pay attention to it at the time."

"This Ge Rumo, why does it sound so familiar? Is she the same person as the developer of the pill that saved the Queen Mother? ”

"It's the same person."

"What is that medicine called?" Emperor Wu Cheng doesn't remember his full name.

"Angong Niuhuang Pill." Wei Qianzhong added.

"How did it work?" At that time, Emperor Wu Cheng was upset and didn't pay much attention to these details.

"Well, the Queen Mother woke up after about a quarter of an hour. If there is no medicine, the Queen Mother will be in danger this time. Wei Qianzhong tried to be as objective as possible.

The eldest prince's favorite concubine had a difficult birth, and most of the imperial doctors in the Imperial Physician's Department were invited away by the eldest prince at that time. In that case, the Queen Mother could still turn the corner, he sweated a handful of things when he thought about it.

"There is also her in the post of the Southern Army." Wei Qianzhong reminded, "Your Majesty, her life is recorded here, there is nothing to see in front of her, the key is the performance in the past year, which can be called magnificent." He had collected this information at the first time, and His Majesty really asked.

Emperor Wu Cheng really opened it with great interest, "He is worthy of being the chosen one." ”
