"Okay, I'll assume that General Xiao is telling the truth, but what I'm asking is General Xiao who thinks I'm a Ming Jun?"

Emperor Chu stood in front of Xiao Yongde and looked at him condescendingly, which shocked Xiao Yongde's heart.

The haze was waiting for Xiao Yongde's answer with doubts on his face.

"The minister has always felt that the emperor is a bright monarch."

Xiao Yongde bowed his hand and bowed his head.

"Really?"

Hearing Xiao Yongde's words, Emperor Chu grinned, and his mood was obviously much better than Fang Cai, and he half-believed and half-doubted.

"Of course."

"Then I don't beat around the bush with General Xiao, there are rumors that the first emperor left General Xiao with a holy decree before, I heard that the above can affect my current status, General Xiao, there are only you and me here, I only treat you as a friend today, no matter what you say, I will not punish you, you just tell me honestly, there is really such a holy purpose?"

Emperor Chu bent down, and his big face met Xiao Yongde's eyes.

That face is no longer young, but adds a trace of vicissitudes.

Wrinkles have appeared between the corners of his eyes, as Emperor Chu said, they are all old, and Emperor Chu's heart has also changed.

"When you came out of the first emperor's dormitory, you read out the first emperor's transfer of the throne to me, so will you have another holy decree in your hand?"

Seeing that Xiao Yongde didn't answer, Emperor Chu repeated it again.

"Yes."

Xiao Yongde remembered what Xiao Changge said, since Emperor Chu hoped that there would be that, it would be as he wished.

"Really? Where is the Holy Purpose! ”

Emperor Chu asked excitedly.

The first emperor actually left a back hand, and sure enough, the first emperor should not have been allowed to see Xiao Yongde alone, which was really a mistake.

syllable

Emperor Chu put his hands on the handle of the chair and imprisoned Xiao Yongde tightly on the chair.

His eyes were fierce and full of murderous intent, and Xiao Yongde could feel the anger coming from Emperor Chu's body.

It's as if the killing intent of killing many people on the battlefield for many years made his heart sink.

Emperor Chu was murderous to him!

"After listening to the ministers, the emperor left a holy decree, but..."

"But what!"

Emperor Chu asked.

"However, the above is telling the ministers to assist the emperor well, and it is not related to the throne as rumored outside."

Xiao Yongde replied, and Emperor Chu looked incredulous.

"I want to see with my own eyes."

"The Divine Decree is... In the temple where the emperor lived before, the ministers placed the holy decree there. ”

Xiao Yongde replied, and the Emperor of Chu grabbed Xiao Yongde's collar, contrary to what he had just said about treating Xiao Yongde as a friend.

"Let's go, you go with me to get it."

Emperor Chu said nervously, pulling Xiao Yongde to get up and go to the palace where the first emperor used to live.

Xiao Yuanzi was waiting outside, the door slammed open, Emperor Chu pulled Xiao Yongde away, Xiao Yuanzi was stunned for a while and hurriedly followed.

The plaque on the Cheng'en Hall has been covered with dust, and there are no palace maids in the hall, as soon as the door is opened, the dust is sprinkled and makes people cough.

"Ahem."

Emperor Chu squinted his eyes and waved his hand in front of his nose, and strode into the hall.

"These people are so lazy that they don't even clean the palace."

Emperor Chu complained, but he forgot that it was he himself who asked him not to step into it, and now he complained.

"General Xiao, where is the holy decree?"

Emperor Chu let go of his hand and turned to look at Xiao Yongde.

"It's been more than 30 years, and the ministers have to think about it, the emperor is a little restless."

Xiao Yongde bowed his hand respectfully and said, Emperor Chu is not in a hurry, he is there in person

This stare is not afraid of Xiao Yongde's tricks.

Looking at this familiar place, Xiao Yongde returned to the scene when the first emperor entrusted him with the holy decree, when the first emperor was lying on this bed, the guards outside surrounded the palace, and the Chu emperor and the ministers knelt outside, he had just returned to the palace, and the first emperor only summoned him into the palace, and made a holy decree to give the throne to the four princes, which is now the Chu emperor.

As for the matter of another holy decree, it has been more than 30 years now, and it has not been brought up until now.

Who will spread the word?

If you want Emperor Chu to know, you should have said it long ago, so why wait until now.

"Did General Xiao remember?"

Emperor Chu asked cautiously, and Xiao Yongde came back to his senses.

"On that plaque, you need to find a ladder to go up."

Xiao Yongde pointed to the plaque on the head of Emperor Chu, on which was written the word Spiegel, which was the name given by the first emperor himself, and there was also the mark of the jade seal on it.

These two words are used by the first emperor to warn himself that he needs to be like a mirror, and he must not be blinded or be a faint king.

Emperor Chu looked at these two words with some annoyance, and he didn't know why he felt a sense of anger in his heart.

He knew the meaning of these two words, it was his father who personally put pen to paper, but he didn't expect Xiao Yongde to hide the holy decree so tightly.

"Xiao Yuanzi, go get a ladder."

Emperor Chu shouted loudly, and after a while, Xiao Yuanzi was followed by two eunuchs, who stepped into the hall with ladders in their hands.

As soon as I stepped in, I coughed twice.

There's not a lot of dust in here, and it hasn't been cleaned in at least a few years.

Emperor Chu swept around and pointed at Xiao Yuanzi: "You, you go up and see if there is anything behind the plaque." ”

"Ah, the minions go up."

Xiao Yuanzi pointed at himself and said in surprise, very reluctant, but Emperor Chu said this, what else could he do.

He handed the dust to his men and climbed the ladder up, holding his breath with his nose and his hand behind the plaque.

Layers of ash stained on my hands, very unaccustomed.

Xiao Yuanzi looked disgusted, and said that he could have a good life by the emperor's side, how could he feel quite offended.

"Well, isn't there something?"

Emperor Chu's eyes lit up and he asked urgently.

"It seems to be something, round and soft."

"Take it out and have a look."

Emperor Chu said excitedly, Xiao Yuanzi took out the things, and covered them with a cloth bag on the outside, as for what was inside, he really couldn't tell what was inside.

Xiao Yuanzi handed the things to the Emperor of Chu, and the Emperor of Chu drove them away with a wave of his hand.

Xiao Yongde was a little surprised when he saw the cloth bag, it was really as Xiao Changge said...

Xiao Yuanzi glanced at it before leaving, he wanted to see what made Emperor Chu so nervous.

Emperor Chu dismantled it and threw it to the ground, he loved it clean on weekdays, but now he doesn't care about it.

When I opened it, the handwriting inside was neat, Emperor Chu browsed, and Xiao Yongde observed Emperor Chu's expression.

"Those people really made something out of nothing!"

Emperor Chu closed the holy decree and said angrily.

What was written on the holy decree was exactly what Xiao Yongde said, and there was no mention of Emperor Chu at all, but asked Xiao Yongde and them to assist Emperor Chu and take care of Chu together.

"The content of the holy decree is not related to the emperor, so the minister did not hand over the holy decree to the emperor at that time, and I hope that the emperor will forgive his sins."

Xiao Yongde apologized, and Emperor Chu squinted and smiled and helped Xiao Yongde up: "I should have said sorry to General Xiao, but I suspected General Xiao because of a few words from outsiders." ”

"The holy decree should be handed over to the emperor for safekeeping, so as not to cause trouble again."

"No need, this is the holy decree given to you by the first emperor, how can I ask for it."

clear

The emperor grinned and handed the holy decree to Xiao Yongde, who stared at the holy decree for a long time and nodded to accept it.

Since Emperor Chu didn't want it, he would keep it.

"Xiao Aiqing is bothered by the escort, it should be there in the next few days, Xiao Aiqing remember to be vigilant, don't make any trouble, Gao Yuan is familiar with you, if you go, the two of you can also chat more."

"Concubine Xing also asked me to go to her side to taste the pastries, and I went first."

Emperor Chu was in a good mood, and the stone in his heart also fell.

He hadn't slept well for several days because of this decree, and he could only sleep well if he was sure that it was not a threat to him, and he would be able to sleep well tonight.

When Emperor Chu left, he was still humming a little song in his mouth, and the familiar melody was a tune he liked to listen to before.

"Congratulations to the emperor."

Xiao Yongde's voice sounded behind him, and Emperor Chu didn't even turn around and went straight to the Xingyue Palace.

Xiao Yongde breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and only hoped that Emperor Chu would not find anything.

Xiao Yongde opened the holy decree and looked up at the word mirror on the plaque, and then looked at the content of the holy decree, the words are very similar to the first emperor, but if you carefully identify it, you can see that it is a little different.

"General Xiao."

Xiao Yuanzi shouted outside the hall, it was he who sent Xiao Yongde and asked him to send him to the sedan chair.

Xiao Yongde put away the holy decree and reluctantly looked at it a few more times.

This place in the first emperor after the death of the emperor Chu let the palace maids in this hall go to other courtyards, here is like a ruin, no one cares, no one has come again, there is a mark of being cut by a knife on the dragon bed, that is the Chu emperor held a knife on the neck of the first emperor to threaten him to give way.

The four princes can't compare to the crown prince, the first emperor is critically ill, even if he goes to the throne, he will give it to the crown prince, and if the Chu emperor wants to be the emperor, he can only force the first emperor to pass the position to him.

He knew all these things, although he disagreed with Emperor Chu's approach, but it was a foregone conclusion, and it was impossible for him to revolt with his troops.

I only hope that the first emperor can forgive him for doing this.

Xiao Yongde thought in his heart, after all, it was a big crime to forge a holy decree, and it was more likely to implicate Xiao Changge and Chu Yu, and he didn't want the people of the Xiao family to sacrifice innocently.

He has never done anything bad in his life, and he is also loyal to the Chu State and the Chu Emperor, but this is the only thing he must do.

If the Emperor of Chu knew what was written in the true decree, the Emperor of Chu would definitely go mad or kill him.

Xiao Yongde stepped out of the palace and closed the door.

"It looks like no one has been here for several years, and after a while, the miscellaneous family will let people clean it."

Xiao Yuanzi frowned and coughed dryly, choking a little bit by this gray layer.

"No, no one will come in the future, and it will be dusty if it is cleaned, so it is better to let it be like this."

"It's okay, this is the palace where the first emperor lived, and it's not good to be in turmoil after so many years."

Xiao Yuanzi nodded, feeling that what Xiao Yongde said made sense.

"This road, the old man can walk by himself, although the old man is old, but his brain is not confused, he knows the way he came, he knows where the sedan chair is placed, and Gonggong Yuan is the emperor's personal eunuch, and he should go to serve the emperor."

Xiao Yongde couldn't help but say when he saw Xiao Yuanzi following behind him, Xiao Yuanzi stopped and thought about it carefully, what Xiao Yongde said was right.

"General Xiao is heroic and energetic, how can he get old, according to miscellaneous families, General Xiao is just the right age, and those women will be fascinated when they meet General Xiao."

Xiao Yuanzi praised, Xiao Yongde laughed, and the laughter was hearty and loud.

"Gonggong Yuan is worthy of being the emperor's favorite celebrity, and the words that Xiaozui said are what the old man loves to hear, so here, Gonggong Yuan will serve the emperor."

Xiao Yongde stopped, and Xiao Yuanzi also stopped.

"Okay, General Xiao walks slowly."
