Chapter 169: Royal Secrets
"I also think it's very strange, I think there may be someone in this palace." Emperor Yin's voice was very light, and he didn't seem to be vigilant or uneasy because of King Chen's actions in the palace, "If others are still suspected of rebellion in the palace, but since you are the fourteenth brother, you don't need to worry." ”
Seeing Emperor Yin's such an understatement attitude, Shangguan Yunxiao seemed puzzled.
But he heard Emperor Yin say slowly: "The real heir to the throne in my father's mind was originally the fourteenth brother, although the last word let me take charge of the country, but almost the entire Tianchen's military power, even the palace guards were all handed over to the fourteenth brother, and what's more, the father also left a secret decree to be passed on to the fourteenth brother. It's just that the fourteenth brother has no intention of the country, and he supports me as the emperor. If he wanted this throne, he would have asked for it justifiably. ”
"Father, the will of the first emperor ......" Shangguan Yunxiao's eyes flowed with a hint of surprise.
"This is a secret of the royal family, and the fourteenth brother has rarely participated in political affairs in recent years, for many reasons, one of which is that he does not participate in my handling of court affairs." Emperor Yin said, frowned, and continued: "But no matter what, after all, the power in the hands of the fourteenth brother is too big, and he has both the military and the people's hearts, so he still has to guard against it. ”
Glancing at Shangguan Yunxiao, Emperor Yin said again: "Actually, I intended to make your eldest brother the prince before, but when I was in the county barracks, the fourteenth brother made it clear that he would do his best to assist you as the king. ”
Mu Yunxi behind the bookcase was shocked, no wonder he had such great power to order a search of the palace.
A vulgar copper coin can set off a trend among the people, which shows how popular he is.
Emperor Yin straightened his expression and said with a bit of seriousness: "It's good that you know these things in your own heart." Xiao'er, I hope you can have some ambitions, and I also hope that one day, you can hold real power. Remember, the king's pillow does not allow others to sleep soundly. It's just that you must not go head-to-head with your fourteenth uncle, understand? ”
"Erchen understands."
Hearing this, Mu Yunxi felt a little worried in his heart, the emperor was already so jealous of Yuchen, I must leave the palace as soon as possible, I can't let him make trouble in the palace like this.
Suddenly, Emperor Yin changed the topic: "Xiao'er, that Mu Yun is Mu Yunxi, the eldest lady of General Ling Wei's Mansion, right?" ”
Shangguan Yunxiao was stunned, "Father ......"
Before he could continue, Emperor Yin interrupted: "Okay, you don't have to think about deceiving me anymore, I know everything." ”
Shangguan Yunxiao hurriedly stood up from his seat, knelt in front of the bookcase and said, "Father, Yun Xi is the concubine recognized by the son, and she is the woman of the Shangguan royal family. As for the deception of the king, it is all the fault of the ministers. ”
Seeing him like this, Emperor Yin sighed lightly and said lightly: "She'll be fine, but you must not say anything like her concubine in the future, she is now your fourteenth aunt." ”
Shangguan Yunxiao was suddenly shocked, and was about to open his mouth to ask when he was preempted by Emperor Yin: "Actually, as early as a month ago, the fourteenth brother had already asked me for a decree to appoint her as the concubine of King Chen, but this holy decree has not been announced. ”
At this time, Mo said that Shangguan Yunxiao's complexion changed suddenly, and even Mu Yunxi behind the bookcase was shocked.
And Shangguan Yunxiao's sudden change of expression naturally did not escape Emperor Yin's eyes, he also felt sorry for this son, so he asked gently: "Since you are interested in her, why did you want to withdraw from the marriage that day?" ”
However, Shangguan Yunxiao just knelt on the ground and was silent.
Emperor Yin shook his head slightly, "It seems that there is another story in the middle." ”
