"It's so late, why hasn't the imperial brother slept and ran to this palace?" Si Boyan asked a fake question, leaning on the back of the dragon chair, and he didn't plan to set up a stool for King Huai to sit on, so he stared at King Huai expressionlessly.

King Huai smiled, not full of grace, and replied attentively: "It's not that I saw the study brightly lit at home, and I knew that His Majesty must have been sleepless all night, so I came to investigate." The younger brother can't help much on weekdays, but it should still be possible to help His Majesty solve the problem of sleeplessness. ”

Si Boyan's face immediately sank, and he said in annoyance: "You dare to say that in this way, you have planted eyeliner in my palace?" ”

"Your Majesty has been wronged, how dare your brother do such a rebellious thing? Probably because the younger brother was thinking about His Majesty, so he felt it. "King Huai is serious nonsense, and he is smiling from beginning to end.

King Huai was already better looking than ordinary men, and he had a little femininity, and every time he laughed, even men couldn't help but be moved. At this moment, he said such a thing, which inevitably made people feel ambiguous.

Si Boyan felt a chill, if it weren't for his half-brother, he would have thrown him out of the palace directly. Slowly sat up straight and cleared his throat.

"You should be serious, you will be a fool all day long. It seems that my aunt is right, it's time to find you a princess to take care of. ”

"How do you talk about this again? The younger brother saw that His Majesty couldn't sleep at night, and he only knew how to be diligent in political affairs all day long, and it was time to be crowned a queen and take care of his family. King Huai smiled back, pretending to be surprised, "Why, didn't my aunt and the ministers of the previous dynasty urge the imperial brother to seal the queen as soon as possible?" ”

The corners of Si Boyan's mouth were slightly hooked, as if he was smiling, he reached out and pinched the royal fan on the case, looked at it twice, and put it down again.

"It seems that you really don't know these things on weekdays. In the future, I will come to the court every day to listen to political affairs. ”

"Don't." King Huai immediately refused, and said, "Brother Huang, you have made a decree before, and your younger brother can be exempted from going to court." Listening to a lot of old stubborn arguments, the courtiers might as well go to the restaurant to listen to the storytelling. ”

"I see that you came back to the court, and you still behaved quite positively, and you have nothing to say about the right general." Si Boyan snorted lightly, "Those old ministers are not your opponents. ”

"Isn't that to protect Feng Xiren for Your Majesty? If the younger brother doesn't come forward, won't it look good if His Majesty comes forward in person? Could it be that Your Majesty really has to bear to punish that Feng Xiren and cut an official or something? King Huai raised his eyebrows very proudly, and clearly showed off to Si Boyan the meaning of "your thanks to me".

"Hehe, at that time, General Right even sued you. is obviously protecting himself, and he is so high-sounding. Si Boyan glanced at him angrily, his fingers tapped on the imperial case, making a few crisp sounds, and said lightly, "I just want to ask you now, when this fan was given to you, how did you guarantee it?" ”

"This ...... When I was in the mine in the thirteen counties, I was blown out of my head, and I don't remember it very well. King Huai pretended to stroke his forehead, "I really don't know what promises I made when I took this fan." ”

"Really?" Si Boyan suddenly laughed, gloomy and compassionate, "I am not a king who talks about the innocence of those who do not know, since I am talking about fans, I will settle this account with you." When I gave you a fan, I said that if anything goes wrong with it, you will exchange it for your own. ”

"Your Majesty, don't make up nonsense just because your subordinates don't know their brains." King Huai said with an innocent face, "Brother Chen remembers that the premise of saying this sentence at that time was that this fan was in the hand of Brother Chen. But now, this fan doesn't belong to the younger brother. ”

Si Boyan couldn't help but be angry when he heard his clever words, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.

King Huai was not afraid at all, and continued to smile: "Knowing that Your Majesty is forgetful, my brother will remind you." This royal fan had been given as a reward to Chang's widow, the former Taishou Zhang Changxiu of the Thirteen Counties, and now this fan is Chang's. The younger brother promised that when it was given out, it was good. ”

"You're looking for a scapegoat now?" Si Boyan laughed angrily, leaned over the desk, and said in confusion, "This Chang clan, didn't you bring it back from the Thirteen Counties?" I heard that for her, you got Hezhi in the front, and drove Mama Xu back later, completely ignoring the face of the eldest princess. For her sake, she didn't agree with the eldest princess's matchmaker. I also love this girl deeply, and I plan to find an opportunity to marry this girl. Now he is so ruthlessly pouring water on people. King Huai, King Huai, are you really so ruthless? ”

"Your Majesty, I really hear a lot of gossip on weekdays." King Huai said with a smile, "It's just a ruthless drama of falling flowers, so Your Majesty should stop speculating." Let's talk about this fan, since this fan is already Chang's, Chang's has not reached any guarantee with His Majesty, whether the fan is good or bad, it is all Chang's own business, what kind of account does the saint settle with his brother here? And it's not your account, is it? ”

"Okay, Si Boyu!" Si Boyan was suddenly, his heart was depressed, he got up and went out of the imperial case, pointed to King Huai and said, "Are you waiting for me here?" ”

King Huai hurriedly bowed and saluted, and his smile did not decrease: "Brother Dare." ”

"Don't dare? What else would you not dare? Si Boyan waved his sleeves, endured and endured, so that he could continue to talk to King Huai in a good voice, "To be honest, why did you come to the palace at such a big night?" ”

"There are a few things that don't matter." King Huai also restrained a little inappropriateness and said, "The first thing is that Li Zhuo is dead." ”

"What?" Si Boyan was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure and pondered, "How did you die?" ”

"Someone should have crushed his mother Gu, causing the Zi Gu in his body to burst agitated, and he also died with the explosion of his bloodline."

King Huai's voice was much calmer, although he had not seen the moment of Li Zhuo's death with his own eyes, but he had seen the little stone and the little hawthorn experience the pain at the beginning. Suddenly thinking of the brother and sister, I couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart. After sinking for a while, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Si Boyan.

"It's a recorded confession, and nothing useful has been tried."

"The line is broken."

Si Boyan's face was dignified, he took the confession and unfolded it. After a rough glance, there was really nothing useful, and what he said was obviously showing off.

What do you say, he just learned the art of witchcraft in Yuguo, not some Yuguo meticulous work. He also said that he colluded with the merchants of the thirteen counties to cause the explosion of the mine, purely to retaliate against Zhang Changxiu. And then there's some of his mental journey.

Li Zhuo has been studying the scriptures for ten years, just so that one day he can become a big official and become famous.

Unexpectedly, when he met Zhang Changxiu, the nemesis of his fate, he had to lower Zhang Changxiu in everything, and the saint only reused Zhang Changxiu and ignored him, so he was indignant and dissatisfied for a long time, and he had a grudge in his heart. also admits that the Hua clan is his subordinate, and it is the Gu man he used to practice when he was learning the art of witchcraft in Yuguo. Unexpectedly, this Gu man's vitality was relatively tenacious, and he survived by killing other Gu people. Since then, he has cultivated this Gu man as a subordinate.

When he and Zhang Changxiu went to the thirteen counties to serve as officials at the same time, he arranged for the Hua clan to lurk beside Zhang Changxiu, and the Gu to Zhang Changxiu was also to let Zhang Changxiu obey the Hua clan in every way and do something out of line. At that time, he will be impeached again. In this way, you can give yourself a chance to stand out and sit in the position of being too guarded.

As for the Hua clan first sending people to steal, then sending savages to kill beggars, and then sending people to steal the Nine Dragons jade plate, it was all her own idea, which was to cause turmoil in the city, make Zhang Changxiu stumbling, and make Zhang Changxiu unable to solve it and step down. As a result, Zhang Changxiu not only solved these things, but was also rewarded by the saints.

Li Zhuo was angry, so he asked the Hua family to kill Zhang Changxiu directly, but the Hua family not only disobeyed the order but also saved Zhang Changxiu privately. Li Zhuo was furious, and Hua said that she had arranged for someone to steal the Nine Dragons jade plate again, and she could arrange the bombing of the mine by the way, and no one could save Zhang Changxiu once this matter came out.

Li Zhuo felt that this idea was very good, so he agreed, and began to collude with businessmen to implement it. In the end, the matter was revealed, although Zhang Changxiu was killed, and he was also arrested. However, since Zhang Changxiu is dead, he is satisfied, even if he is dead, it doesn't matter.

This is all the content of the confession, the more Si Boyan looks at it, the more he wants to laugh, and said: "This Li Zhuo will say, not only pushed everything to that Hua family, but also blamed all the motives on his jealousy of Zhang Changxiu, it seems that there is nothing wrong, and the matter is explained." I still attached great importance to him at the beginning, otherwise I would not have let him go to the thirteen counties to serve as the county history and change the atmosphere of the thirteen counties. ”

Since Si Boyan ascended the throne, he has attached great importance to education, and those who can be sent to the history of the county must be the best candidates in his heart, and he is the person who he thinks is excellent in all aspects of conduct and talent. He has always been very optimistic about this Li Zhuo, and when he learned that he was the initiator of the Thirteen Counties incident, the shock and heartache at that time are now clearly remembered.

"Like Li Zhuo, I don't know the grace of God, I'm afraid there are too many." King Huai smiled lightly, "If I hadn't seen the last sentence, my brother would have believed his nonsense." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Si Boyan also saw the last sentence. His eyes sank, staring at the confession, his hands trembling slightly, and he gritted his teeth and read out the last few words.

"Your Majesty doesn't know talents, I, Li Zhuoli, are cursed, Your Majesty is destined to cut off children and grandchildren, and the great clan will be destroyed, just around the corner!"

King Huai pursed his lips and looked at Si Boyan calmly and uprightly, waiting for him to calm down his emotions first. No king will be calm when he sees this kind of thing.

"Cut off the children and grandchildren, and the great clan will be destroyed."

Si Boyan gritted his teeth and repeated these eight words, turned around and went to the imperial case, slapped the confession on the table with a slap, and his dark brown eyes were as cold as ice.

"He knows a lot, and now he said this curse, isn't it too late?"

"Brother Huang, it seems that it is difficult for you to have children, and you have nothing to do with this Yuguo." King Huai didn't dare to laugh anymore, but analyzed it seriously, "This Li Zhuo was originally going to stay in the Guidu court as the eyeliner of Yuguo, but he didn't think that the imperial brother would have an excellent person to help Zhang Changxiu in order to change the appearance of the thirteen counties and transfer him out of Guidu." Li Zhuo is not in Guidu, someone must be here for him. Now it seems that this person is in the harem of the imperial brother. ”
