Outside Xuzhou City, Qingdai Building.

In this deserted small building, the lobby on the first floor is empty, but in the largest private room on the second floor, there are more than ten people seated.

There are many people, but it is quiet.

The table was basically an old man, but there was a young man sitting on the main seat, and unlike the rest of him, he seemed to be displeased, but he looked leisurely, and smiled slightly.

Finally, an old man couldn't sit still: "Fifth prince, what are you asking us old men to do?" This letter is implicit, do you have to look like a woman's family when you meet? ”

Xiao Heng smiled: "General Li dissipates his anger and takes a sip of tea." I have something important to mention for you to come today, so please calm down. ”

Seeing that some people were drinking tea and some people were indifferent, Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows and said leisurely: "All the seniors know that my father and emperor died of illness due to long-term fatigue, and finally died without a cure, right?" ”

The unanimous silence is a tacit acquiescence to this statement. But he didn't expect Xiao Heng's tone to change, and he went straight to the point: "But what if my father didn't die of illness, but someone did it on purpose?" ”

Suddenly, both eyes looked at him. Some people are silent, some people have slightly wide eyes, and some people frown slightly. Xiao Heng continued: "And this person is not the bloodline of the Xiao family at all. ”

It's all said and done, and if you don't understand it, it's really unpleasant. The old lady Zhou, who had been quiet before, said: "It's not appropriate for the fifth prince to slander his brother like this. ”

Someone else followed: "yes, what evidence do you have?" ”

Xiao Heng still looked at everyone with a smile: "Evidence...... I don't. Some people were relieved and some people shook their heads, and Mrs. Zhou sneered: "Then you still speak wildly? Slandering the Holy One is a capital crime that kills millions of heads! ”

Xiao Heng was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea, and said: "There is no evidence, there is a testament, I don't know if it is enough?" ”

"Legacy, legacy?" Everyone was shocked, and then someone said: "Where did you get any edict!" After the death of the first emperor, the only edict was to make Xiao Sheng the crown prince and succeed to the throne, and there was never any edict in addition! Although our old bones are old, our heads are still clear, and they will not deceive us! ”

Xiao Heng didn't speak, but just took out an ordinary-looking letter from his arms: "Marquis Zhao has the highest rank and is the most admired here, can you help see if this edict is genuine." ”

When everyone saw that it was just an ordinary letter, they all disdained it. However, Marquis Zhao is the confidant of the first emperor, and he is also the most trusted and respected in this group of people. Zhao Zheng glanced at Xiao Heng, took the scroll, and unfolded it to look at it carefully.

This letter paper is cotton paper, and a long article is written with a red pen on it, which is the life experience of his second brother in Xiao Heng's mouth. After reading a long sentence, his brow furrowed more and more. However, seeing that near the end, there was no mention of the so-called edict, and the handwriting was not like the handwriting of the previous emperor, he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng was still unmoved, and Zhao Zheng continued to watch. At the end of the day, the regular script, which had been upright before, suddenly turned into a line of grass, and the handwriting was messy and disorderly, as if it had been written in a hurry. Zhao Zheng looked hard, and his pupils suddenly dilated: the handwriting of the first emperor, he would never admit it!

Those few lines are disorganized, generally saying that he was shocked by this matter, and found out that his illness was caused by his second son, his own extreme unwillingness, and nonsense-like instructions, saying that Xiao Heng should take care, let him not be impulsive, and let him be sure to be the Xiao family......

Zhao Zheng has been on the battlefield all his life, and the man who bleeds without tears is almost tearful. But this handwriting can be imitated, and it is impossible to tell whether it is true or false for a while. Zhao Zheng looked down, but found that at the end of the letter, there was a seal stamped by the jade seal of the country.

The jade seal of the country, Qin Shi Huang of the Qin Dynasty took He's bi as the raw material, and made the prime minister Li Si engraved. Emperors have always taken this seal as a symbol, and those who have this jade seal are regarded as orthodox emperors. And so many years of contention, this jade seal is regarded as the country's important weapon, never easy to use, has always been hidden, the chapter of the daily edict, engraved is "ordered by the sky, both longevity and health", and the real jade seal, engraved is "ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang". Zhao Zheng with the first emperor to fight in the east and west, had the honor to see the true face of this jade seal, when Wang Mang usurped power, the jade seal was hidden in the queen mother's place, went to ask for it, the queen mother was angry and smashed the seal on the ground, if you look closely, you can see that there is a gap in the upper left corner.

Such secrets, except for the emperor himself, it is estimated that he Zhao Zheng knows about them, and Xiao Heng may not know about them. It must be an extremely important thing to be able to use this heirloom jade seal, and he has a trade-off in his heart. Zhao Zheng put down the letter paper, looked at a pair of inquiring eyes, and said, "This is indeed just an ordinary letter. The others didn't have time to relax, so they only listened to his words: "However, there is the handwriting of the emperor and the seal of the jade seal of the country." ”

There was a gasp. The handwriting of the emperor is not important, but the old guys here all know that there is a real heirloom jade seal to Zhenguo, and no one spoke out for a while. That week, the old lady trembled and stretched out her hand: "I'll take a look." ”

Zhao Zheng handed it to him. This look stunned him: "Ordered by the sky, he is not only longevity and longevity, but also the jade seal of the country!" ”

In this way, it seems that the edict of the current saint is not orthodox, and this small letter, although it is not a rigorous edict, but there is a chapter of the jade seal of the country, which may not be regarded as a real edict.

For a while, everyone's attitude changed.
