Chapter 275: Striving to be the Emperor
Hearing Wei Rong ask about the whereabouts of the little emperor grandson, Feng Shencai did not directly tell the secret that Yun'er was the little emperor grandson, because he could not make this decision on behalf of Wei Ruhua.
So he had to vaguely go over: "No, I've always heard that the little emperor and grandson are in the palace, but his health is not very good, and he has never been out of the dormitory, why don't I go back and check it again, let's talk about this later, the most important thing at present is to tell Xiang Taifu about this matter and win over the minister." ”
Feng Shencai secretly signaled Bai Feng with his eyes and asked him not to reveal the secret, Bai Feng lowered his eyes and did not speak.
Since Wei Rong was relieved of his official position because of rebellion, he really didn't have a very high grasp of the affairs in the palace, and he couldn't be sure whether the news of the disappearance of the little emperor and grandson was deliberately released by the emperor or what, it might just be a smoke bomb, so he agreed to Feng Shencai's plan.
"Wait a minute, I'll help you write a letter, and hand it over to Master Taifu when you return to the palace." Wei Rong said, then lowered his head and wrote down the news he had just received from the secret guard's mouth on a piece of paper and sealed it, and then handed it to Feng Shencai.
Feng Shencai took the letter and was about to leave the Wei Mansion, but Bai Feng chased forward: "Feng Shencai, wait a minute, I have something to tell you." ”
"What do you want to tell me? Is it about Yoona? Because Ruhua didn't say whether to tell Brother Wei about it, I can't make my own decisions. Feng Shencai explained.
But Bai Feng shook his head and said to him: "No, I'm looking for you not just about the little emperor's grandson, you see that he is a little child, he has suffered so much, and now you still want to put the throne of Jiangshan on him, don't you think he is very pitiful?" ”
Feng Shencai asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by this?" He was originally the emperor's grandson, this is what he should do. He always felt that there was something in Bai Feng's words, "Brother Bai, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly, we are already friends, and it doesn't matter what you say." ”
Bai Feng said, "I...... I mean, instead of handing over this burden to the little emperor's grandson, why don't you carry it yourself, you see, you are the biological son of Emperor Changming, and the only son, and you will succeed to the throne. ”
"Impossible, I don't have the heart to be an emperor at all, the little emperor Sun is the rightful heir to the throne, why should I rob him of the throne? Are you kidding me? Feng Shencai was very surprised after hearing this, and directly denied this statement.
Bai Feng looked at Feng's serious expression, and suddenly spoke again: "Then, if you don't want to, what about me?" What if I wanted to be emperor? Can you not support the little emperor and support me instead? ”
Feng Shencai was even more surprised, "What? You actually have the intention of becoming an emperor, have you forgotten that your father was killed because he was fighting for the throne? Besides, even if your father ascended the throne at the beginning, he should return the throne to the little emperor and grandson as promised, how can it not be your turn, don't think about it, I can't help you. ”
Feng Shencai really didn't expect Bai Feng to have the heart to be an emperor, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he tested himself first, Feng Shencai didn't know what Bai Feng meant, whether it was true or false, but no matter what Bai Feng thought, it was Yun'er who he had always firmly supported, and it had never changed.
"It's okay, that's what I said, I guessed a long time ago, an upright person like you will definitely reject me, just because I didn't mention it." Bai Feng was rejected by Feng Shencai, but he was not surprised at all, but smiled lightly, as if he didn't care.
Feng looked at him with deep meaning, turned around and left, he still had to go to Taifu's mansion to deliver a letter, and he didn't have time to talk nonsense with him here.
At this moment, Wei Rong came out and saw Bai Feng standing outside looking at Feng's radiant back, so he asked, "Bai Feng, why are you standing here and not going in?" ”
Bai Feng turned his head to look at him, his expression was a little sad: "Wei Rong, can I ask you a question?" You have to tell me honestly. "You ask." Wei Rong said.
"Back then, you were ordered by Emperor Changming to go to my Zhongshan Palace, why did you let me go? I've never been able to figure out what kind of friendship we have with you that it's worth the risk. Bai Feng asked the question he had been pressing in his heart.
When Wei Rong heard Bai Feng talk about this, he immediately straightened his demeanor and said to him with a serious face: "There are two reasons why I let you go in the first place, one is that I never believe that a person like the King of Zhongshan would do treason with the enemy, he fought with me in the frontier town in order to defend the country, how many injuries he suffered, how much blood he shed, even if people all over the world believe that he collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, I will not believe it." ”
"It's just that the emperor's life is in my body, and the evidence is conclusive, but I can't save his life, and I have always felt very guilty in my heart." As he spoke, Wei Rong's eyes seemed to moisten a little, "I can only do it when I strangle him, so that he doesn't have more pain." ”
Bai Feng's eyes also turned red when he heard this, and he sighed and said: "Thank you, I didn't expect that among all living beings, it was actually the person who killed him who believed in him the most, and I believe that my father's spirit in the sky will not blame you." We all know that the culprit is Emperor Changming, not you. ”
Wei Rong turned his face away, seemed to blink, and then turned his head to look at him and said: "Another reason is that on the battlefield, King Zhongshan once saved my life, if he hadn't pushed me away, I would have been killed by an arrow, and later when I went to the mansion to raid the house, King Zhongshan once hinted that I would let you go." ”
"Father!" When Bai Feng heard this, he almost burst into tears, and Wei Rong said: "Parents love their children, and they have far-reaching plans. The look in his eyes at that time made me unable to refuse his request, plus I already owed him his life, and I should pay him back, so I turned a blind eye and watched people let you go, and helped you deal with the aftermath, but unfortunately I still didn't hide it from Emperor Changming. ”
Bai Feng bowed to Wei Rong, and when he bent over, he quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, and raised his head, he looked like that humble gentleman again, "Thank you, let my father go peacefully, and thank you for saving me." ”
Wei Rong has always been ashamed to mention this matter, this is the deepest regret in his heart, what could be more cruel than killing his own life-saving benefactor with his own hands?
But he still remembers the appearance of King Zhongshan generously dying, and he was still comforting himself before he died: "Wei Rong, I know that you are a good person, I only hope that you can leave a glimmer of life in my Zhongshan Palace, hahaha, come on!" ”
