A word, righteous words.

Rong Xiang was dumbfounded.

After a long time, he raised his trembling fingers, "What a Yongwang...... You wolf ambition and framing good ministers, you are guilty of great evil! ”

"Is it the worst crime of loneliness, or the worst crime of the prime minister?" Xiao Tingchen said loudly, "In addition to Rong Zheng and Rong Yu's reckless behavior, you Rong Prime Minister first slandered the emperor behind his back, and then he put his beak to pick up the star platform, and he was not allowed to pray for the emperor alone." Prime Minister Rong is ambitious, could it be that he has a rebellious heart?! ”

"You-"

Rong Xiang was so angry that he covered his heart and couldn't speak for a long time.

He finally relented and looked at the emperor with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, the old minister didn't!" Heaven and earth can be learned, the old minister is loyal to you, loyal to Daqi! King Yong framed the old minister, King Yong's intentions are ill-intentioned, your majesty! ”

The emperor's face was indifferent.

The slender fingers lightly tapped the dragon case, and he said lightly: "Rong Qing has been sitting in the position of prime minister for ten years, and in the past ten years, Rong Qing's dedication has been seen in his eyes. ”

Rong Xiang hurriedly wiped away his tears, and was so moved that his head was on the ground, "Your Majesty Mingjian!" ”

"But—" the Emperor changed his words, "what your sons and daughters have done lately is indeed out of place. Self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and leveling the world, Rong Qing can't even self-cultivate Qi family, how can he level the world for me? ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister—"

"After ten years of hard work in Rongqing, I will give you a year off and go home to educate your children. If you allow them to make mistakes, I will ask you! ”

The emperor did not give him time to beg for mercy, and looked at the kneeling men.

They all have good looks, no wonder they are targeted by Rong Yu.

He said: "Who is not raised by your father's mother, these people have suffered huge losses because your daughter was imprisoned in another village on the outskirts of the city. Rong Qing, I order you to compensate them with money. ”

Rong Xiang glanced at the group of crying old men, and had to agree with a gloomy face.

A good show is finally over.

Rong Xiang led Rong Yu out of the imperial study, and sighed all the way when he walked through the palace alley.

Rong rumor worried, "Dad, I'm sorry ......"

Rong Xiang was helpless, "Over the years, Dad knows that you have robbed a lot of men and hid them in a secret village on the outskirts of the city. But after so many years, why was it discovered by Xiao Tingchen today? ”

Rong Yu was angry and said the matter of Liangzhou Ci again, "...... The daughter just learned that the Jiangnan businessman that her daughter brought to Beizhuang turned out to be Xiao Tingxiu, the eldest brother of King Yong! They are clearly colluded and deliberately deceive their daughter! ”

Rong Xiang stroked his beard, "I can't blame you, I'm afraid that someone is eyeing us." ”

"It's Xiao Tingchen!" Rong Yu was annoyed, "In the past, his daughter whipped him at the Qionglin banquet, and he held a grudge to take revenge on the Rong family!" It may also ...... It could also be that he likes his daughter and wants to deliberately get her attention! ”

Rong Xiang looked at her silently.

Although he is Rong Yu's own father, as a man, he feels that the second possibility does not exist.

The father and daughter left the palace in despair, and on the other side, the imperial study.

Xiao Tingchen is playing against the emperor.

A middle-aged man over forty years old, the peach blossoms are hard to hide their blue and haggard eyes, which shows that they have not rested well on weekdays.

Xiao Tingchen twisted the chess pieces and said softly: "The emperor looks very haggard, but the palace people are not well served?" Or is it busy with state affairs and worrying the emperor? ”

The emperor smiled faintly, "When people reach middle age, they have accumulated stories for half their lives." When I dream back in the middle of the night, I think of the past, and I can't sleep. ”

"The emperor has the power of the world, what do you want, and what is worth your sleep?"

"It's cold in the heights, and what I want is impossible to get in this life." The emperor threw away the chess pieces and sighed lightly, "I wish to be born in the next life in the people's family, with filial piety to fathers and sons, brothers and friends, and no longer participate in the disturbances of the imperial court." ”

Xiao Tingchen: "The emperor is the reincarnation of an immortal, how can he be born in a mediocre family?" The minister thought that the emperor would definitely be able to recover the world in this life, and he would be as famous as Emperor Qin and Han Wu. ”

"You mouth!"

The Emperor smiled and shook his head.

The situation on the chessboard grew tense.

The emperor quietly raised his eyes, and the young man opposite sat in the spring sun, wearing a black woven gold python robe with narrow sleeves and waist, handsome and majestic, and a slender figure.

When he lowered his peach blossom eyes and thought seriously, he looked like he was young.

is more like himself than the sons of Yuan Xu and Yuan Min.

He watched, and his heart couldn't help but stir up.

Twisting the chess pieces with his fingertips, he said: "Tell me about your mother, what she looks like, who her surname is, and her preferences before her death...... I want to know. ”

Xiao Tingchen lowered his eyebrows.

He had been deceiving the emperor all along, saying that his mother was dead.

Because the Xue family has lived in the boudoir for a long time, and the emperor has not sent anyone to investigate, he really thought she was dead.

He fell, "My mother's name is Xue Ling, and her appearance is extremely beautiful. ”

Before the words fell, a black jade chess piece fell from the emperor's fingertips.

He quickly picked up the chess pieces, seemingly careless, but Xiao Tingchen noticed that even his fingertips were trembling.

"The surname is Xue...... Sure enough, the surname is Xue ......"

He muttered.

Xiao Tingchen remained silent, "Your Majesty, do you know my mother?" ”

"No, I don't know!" The emperor was quick to deny it, "I'm just curious, what kind of amazing and beautiful woman should be to give birth to such an outstanding young man as Huai Jin." ”

"The emperor has a good reputation." Xiao Tingchen complimented, and forcibly suppressed the curiosity in his heart.

Finally leaving the palace, he took the reins and let the horses walk slowly down Manna Street.

Gu Yu rode a horse and followed him, a little puzzled, "Master, Rong Xiang has been dismissed for a year, you should be happy, why are you listless?" ”

Xiao Tingchen didn't speak.

The night breeze blows.

The shops on both sides of the long street are lined up one after another, and the flames of the lanterns are bustling as far as the eye can see.

But farther away, it was so dark and dark that even the light could not reach it.

He walked all the way in silence, and when he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he said, "Go check on my mother." ”

Gu Yu was surprised, "Who are you checking?" ”

"Xue Ling."

He turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to the servant, and strode towards the house.

He always felt that something was wrong.

His similar appearance to the emperor,

A mother who has lived in the boudoir for a long time and has never had a smile,

The emperor's reaction when he heard the surname Xue......

And what the teacher said at the beginning:

- In the future, you don't need anyone to say much, you will have enough reasons to kill the king. Huai Jin, you and the current emperor will never die.

returned to the courtyard with a gloomy face, and Bai Lu and the others were guarding the gate of the main courtyard.

He raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing here?" ”

Bai Lu was surprised, "It was the master who sent the slaves and maids to stay here, saying that we were not allowed to go in and disturb you and Niangniang, have you forgotten?" ”

Xiao Tingchen was slightly stunned.

Before entering the palace, he tied Su Xiaojiu to the swing rack and did whatever he wanted.

He had left in a hurry, and it had been two hours.

Su Xiaojiu ...... her

Won't you still be tied to a swing?!

，

Hey, you're done with the old dog!
