Lin Muyang held the old emperor's edict tightly in his hand and slowly walked out of the gate of the palace.

At this time, the people who were already kneeling on the ground outside the palace were already on their knees, including important ministers of the court, many concubines and princesses, and some palace maids and eunuchs, all of whom had received the news of the emperor's death, and everyone was crying bitterly.

The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, these people naturally have a reason for them to cry, whether it is for the old emperor or for themselves, everyone can find a reason to shed tears.

The eunuch who served beside the old emperor walked to Lin Muyang's side with a hunched waist and said in a low voice, "Master, do you want to read the edict?" ”

Lin Muyang glanced at the eunuch domineeringly, and the eunuch couldn't help but shudder.

This Lin Muyang gives people a feeling that is more awe-inspiring than the dead emperor. He is the one who knows Lin Muyang's methods best, but in just a few years, he has jumped from a dormant and forbearant teenager to a Zhuoguo Taishi above 10,000 people under one person, and his business is spread all over four countries, and his wealth can be called the crown of the four countries.

And the gore and wrists in it make everyone who knows the inside story chill.

At this time, the eunuch's circulatory rumor sounded outside: "The prince has arrived in ————"

A flash of sharpness flashed in everyone's eyes at the same time, the emperor died, and it stands to reason that the prince should be waiting in front of the bed. But the emperor's edict was to let Taishi Lin Muyang stay in front of his bed, that is to say, the emperor's final decision is only known by Taishi Lin Muyang!

The prince walked up to Lin Muyang, ignoring the other people's bowing to him, but walked straight in front of Lin Muyang, and was about to kneel down with a shake of his clothes!

Lin Muyang suddenly stretched out a hand, held the prince steadily, and said lightly: "His Royal Highness the prince doesn't have to be like this!" ”

The prince looked at Lin Muyang intently, and said softly: "Wait for the others, stand aside for the time being, I have something to say to the Taishi!" ”

When the other courtiers and people in the harem heard this, they immediately bowed their bodies and left backwards, and in front of the entire huge palace, there were only two people, the prince and Lin Muyang.

The prince looked at Lin Muyang fixedly, and said softly: "Brother, what did my father say?" ”

The prince's gaze suddenly fell on the golden edict in Lin Muyang's hand, and his pupils shrank sharply!

Could it be that his father really passed the throne to him?

Lin Muyang stretched out his hand and patted the prince's shoulder gently, and said lightly: "In the entire Zhuo Kingdom, only you know my true identity." Since you called me brother today, then, as a brother, I can't treat you too badly. ”

Lin Muyang looked up at the moonlight, the sky was gloomy, although it was not raining, it felt so oppressive and breathable.

The prince looked at Lin Muyang quietly, this man, always hiding a terrible storm under the calm surface. The bloody purge five years ago wiped out all those who opposed him in the court! Ten years ago, he turned around gorgeously, from an inconspicuous wild boy to become the Taishi of the Burning Kingdom.

No one can imagine how he lived in his childhood and youth, how he endured humiliation and secretly planned everything, no one can imagine how he could endure so much humiliation to form his own forces, but no one noticed that he was the real behind the scenes.

Such a thoughtful and capable man, once he turned over, he showed his strong wrists vigorously and resolutely, and consolidated his world step by step.

Although he is only a Grand Master, but in the Zhuo Kingdom, and even in the Four Kingdoms, who is not respectfully surrendering his identity and calling His Highness?

If it weren't for the surprise to learn that he was his half-brother, I was afraid that I wouldn't bet my bet on him if I said anything, right? There are many princes in the palace, but Lin Muyang chose himself, is this one of his strategies, or is he luckier?

Lin Muyang said softly: "It doesn't matter what my father says, the important thing is that you have to remember that you are the future emperor of the Burning Kingdom!" ”

Lin Muyang stretched out his hand and slowly put it on the prince's shoulder: "Being an emperor is not as you can do whatever you want as you imagined, even if you are the king of a country?" Isn't there so many problems, so many helplessness? ”

A sadness flashed on Lin Muyang's face, and the tears accumulated in his eyes instantly dyed his eyes red.

"If the throne is inherited by my brother, I ————" The prince hesitated for a moment and spoke slowly, but before he could finish speaking, Lin Muyang said domineeringly: "I'm not interested in the throne!" If I'm interested————" Lin Muyang's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Do you think I will only be satisfied with the small Burning Kingdom?" ”

The prince's expression froze: "You mean to ————"

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Lin Muyang's mouth: "So, you still do your emperor's affairs well, don't ask about me!" ”

"Yes, brother." The prince nodded meekly: "Because of my brother, I am the prince, and I am today, I will always listen to my brother!" ”

"I don't need you like that." Lin Muyang said lightly: "It's okay as usual!" I'm still just a master, and you're the emperor today! ”

Lin Muyang dropped this sentence and resolutely turned around and left.

Looking at Lin Muyang's back, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of the prince's mouth.

Father, father, did you finally give him an amulet? Did you long expect that Lin Muyang would not succeed to the throne, and I would definitely turn around and deal with him?

So, before you died, you gave him an amulet, so that I couldn't help him?

Father, you are so eccentric! Why is the son born to a palace maid more important than the son born to me, the queen?

Lin Muyang returned to the Taishi Mansion with the secret edict, locked himself in the secret room, and gently placed the secret edict in his hand on the table in the center of the secret room, side by side with a portrait.

In this secret room where there were no outsiders, Lin Muyang could no longer suppress his feelings and cried.

He tore off the mask on his face, revealing a handsome and suffocating face, and sat down on the cold ground next to the table, letting the tears on his face drown him.

Twenty-five years, twenty-five years, no one can read themselves, they are the world is so far away, lonely, cold.

In order to take revenge, in order to avenge his mother, he had to grit his teeth and survive, ridicule again and again, insult again and again, and bow his head again and again, just so that one day he could avenge his mother!

But now, my mother is dead, my own father is dead, and only one last enemy remains!

Lin Muyang wiped away the tears on his face indiscriminately, slowly stood up from the ground, looked back at you and glanced at the golden edict that represented his fate, the smile on the corner of his mouth became bigger and bigger, and he said to himself: "I want more than just a burning country, I want more and more!" I'm going to get back everything I've lost! ”

At this moment, the palace has closed all the palaces with a miserable white filial piety curtain, and everyone is dressed in a miserable white filial piety dress, whether it is sincere or not, the emperor died, and the whole country mourns.

The news of the death of the Emperor of the Burning Kingdom also spread quickly under the instruction of the crown prince, and spread throughout the four countries overnight!

The crown prince took the lead and knelt in front of the mourning hall, and behind him knelt were the palace concubines and princesses, and then behind were a group of courtiers, and all the palace maids and eunuchs knelt outside.

The prince knelt there quietly, his eyes tightly closed, but his heart was churning. He was constantly calculating Lin Muyang's various possibilities, whether to read the edict or hide the edict? He kept calculating which was more likely, and reacted when necessary.

Nearly four days later, Lin Muyang, who was dressed in filial piety clothes, slowly walked in from outside, glanced at the prince kneeling in front of him, slowly walked to his side, slowly knelt down, and knelt beside the prince.

"Prince, I have a proposal, I don't know if you're interested?" Lin Muyang also closed his eyes gently, no matter what, the coffin in front of him was indeed his own father!

The corners of the prince's eyes opened slightly: "You say." ”

"I support you to ascend the throne and remove all opposition for you, in exchange for which you cannot interfere in anything I do, except that I enjoy the same treatment at the level of a prince! Whether it is economic, political, or military, you can rest assured that my goal is not to burn the country, otherwise, as long as I read the edict, I can get all this! Lin Muyang replied in a calm voice: "Over the years, have you learned everything I have taught you?" ”

The prince continued to close his eyes and replied lightly: "Okay, I promise you!" However, your identity must always be kept a secret and never made public! ”

Lin Muyang smiled lightly: "Do you think I care about this identity?" ”

The prince also laughed softly: "Yes, it is precisely because you don't care about anything that you give me the feeling that it will always be so unfathomable." ”

"Unfathomable?" Lin Muyang snorted softly, slowly straightened up, and slowly turned around.

Lin Muyang looked down at the crowd kneeling on the ground, and his voice was low but powerful: "The emperor's deathbed decree that the crown prince will succeed to the throne after the death of the first emperor!" ”

The crowd kneeling below suddenly raised their heads and looked at Lin Muyang standing in front of everyone, shocked and undecided.

Lin Muyang stretched out his hand to help the prince up, and he was the first to kneel: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The prince looked smug and stood proudly, and the others, under the leadership of Lin Muyang, also knelt down again, shouting: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The crown prince breathed a long sigh of relief, he tried his best to calm down, and said in a low voice: "Zhong Aiqing is flat!" ”
