Ji Kaihan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said with a sneer: "Now that it's over, you can say anything." ”

"That's not the case, I think Mr. Ji, you don't know the ins and outs of the matter, and I don't blame you, so let's do it, I'll tell you a story." In the past, there were two brothers, the younger brother was very favored by his father, and the elder brother, because he was a concubine, was not valued by his father, but despite this, the younger brother has always admired his brother. The elder brother was more than ten years older than the younger brother, and when the father died, the younger brother was only a few years old, and the elder brother was already in his twenties. However, the ministers felt that the country of Korea was undecided, and the younger brother was still too young to take on the responsibilities of the court and the country, so they planned to support the elder brother as the emperor. However, at this time, some other ministers raised objections, and they all believed that since the former emperor had passed the throne to his younger brother, others should not interfere arbitrarily, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the former emperor. Just when the dispute was over, the elder brother came out, and he told the ministers that he was willing to inherit the throne, and when he returned to old age in a hundred years, the throne would be passed to the younger brother, or to the younger brother's descendants. So the elder brother ascended the throne, and the younger brother continued to be his ordinary prince, that elder brother is Li Yuanzheng, and the younger brother is my Li Yuanxiao. After my brother ascended the throne, he has always had scruples about me in his heart, I didn't feel it when I was young, and when I was older, he was instigated by Yao Jiyin's woman, and he tried to kill me many times. Now, he has gone before me, I originally thought that when he died, he would keep his promise and pass the throne to me, who knew that he actually violated the original oath to the minister and passed the throne to his son, and now, his son is dead, until his grandson, Yao Jiyin still wants to occupy the throne and not let go. You say if you were me, would you be able to dismiss it? Therefore, this world was originally mine, and besides, I am not a usurper of the dynasty, I was originally a member of the Li family, and the throne is still in the hands of the Li family. Why did I get the support of the minister? It's all because of this reason, not to mention that the reason why my brother robbed me of the throne in the first place was because I was young, and now his son is not young, it is reasonable, this emperor should be made for me, do you think I am right? When he said this, he laughed, and his face was full of smugness.

After hearing him say this, Ji Qihan didn't know how to refute what he said for a while.

"In short, this throne is indeed mine. It makes sense that I will take back what belongs to me, do you think I am right? How can I be considered a usurper for the throne? He said to Ji Xianhan earnestly.

After Ji Kaihan heard him say this, he was silent for a while, in fact, what he said was not unreasonable, according to what he said, this throne was originally his, and if he took back his throne, it could be regarded as taking back his own things.

But no matter what, if today, under Li Yuanzheng's hard work, he has maintained long-term peace and stability for so many years, and the emperors of all dynasties like to pass on the throne to their descendants, and it is reasonable for Li Yuanzheng to make such a decision.

This was originally a royal family matter, and it was inconvenient for Ji Kaihan to comment, he hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "The emperor's family affairs were originally not known to me, an outsider, and I don't know how to answer to you, in short, since it is peaceful today, if the little emperor and grandson can ascend the throne safely, it will not be a good thing for the people of the world." Do you dare to say that you seized the throne at this time without a trace of selfish desires? ”

"Hahahaha. Mr. Ji, I respect you as a chivalrous man, that's why I told you so much, but I didn't expect you to be a mediocre person. If it were you, you had been wronged for so many years, would you have been wronged in vain? ”

After hearing him say this, Ji Qihan was silent for a while.

Ji Kaihan is also a smart person, how can he not know the meaning of his words, in fact, Ji Kaihan also feels that Li Yuanzheng's thing is a little inauthentic, as if Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty once promised his younger brother Zhao Guangyi that he would pass on the throne to him after returning to old age for a hundred years, who knew that Zhao Kuangyin later repented, and the throne still had to be passed on to his son, fortunately Zhao Guangyi was smart and astute, so he took the throne from Zhao Kuangyin's hands.

It is understandable that Li Yuanzheng has such selfishness, and Li Yuanxiao is dissatisfied with this, and it is understandable that he wants to snatch the throne back.

No wonder he had the support of the courtiers, it turned out that there was such a reason.

Ji Kaihan carefully observed Li Yuanxiao and found that he was not as violent and arrogant as Yao Wanyun said, and he was stubborn and self-serving, he was a very intelligent and talented person, no wonder he was liked by the emperor at the beginning, and he wanted to pass the throne to him wholeheartedly, which shows that he is a very smart person.

Mr. Ji sighed and said to him, "No matter what, I really sympathize with you for what you said. But the so-called good man does not serve the second master, since I have already promised the Empress Dowager Yao, I must fulfill my promise to her, it is useless for you to say anything now, I Ji Xianhan will never agree to you. Although you can kill me, anyway, I Ji Qihan has lived for more than fifty years, and I can be regarded as having lived enough. When he said that, he laughed.

Li Yuanxiao looked at him and said thoughtfully: "I know that Ji Lianhan has always been a person who does not put fame and fortune, glory and wealth in his eyes. And I also know that Ji Kaihan once liked a woman called Jing Hengdi, but it's a pity that the woman disappeared later, which made you sad for so long, is there such a thing? ”

mentioned the name of Jing Hengdi, Ji Qihan's heart was slightly cold, in fact, Jing Hengdi was not nowhere to be found, the whole thing was a long story, Ji Qihan naturally didn't want to explain to him, but Li Yuanxiao had even heard Jing Hengdi's name, which shows that this person is really not to be underestimated.

Thinking of this, he was silent and said no more.

Li Yuanxiao continued to say slowly: "I also heard that Mr. Ji recently met a person who looked very similar to the previous Miss Jing, I don't know if what I said is right?" ”

Ji Qihan was slightly stunned and asked, "What do you want?" ”

"I don't want to do anything." When he said this, he clapped his palms.

Immediately afterwards, a woman walked into the prison, the woman thinly applied powder, lightly swept her eyebrows, and was very delicate and beautiful.

She was wearing a white dress, and her whole person was not stained with dust, just like Ji Qihan met Jing Hengdi in the valley, but now when he took a closer look, he found that this person was not Jing Hengdi at all, but Yao Wanyun, the second lady of the Yao family.

"Miss Yao Er? How did you end up here? Ji Qihan was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, she is indeed here, and as long as Mr. Ji agrees to help, Miss Yao Er will be Mr. Ji's, and in the future, Mr. Ji will be able to make up for the years of the girl with the same scene that he missed in the previous time. I know that Mr. Ji doesn't love the country or power, but the beauty of the country stands in front of Mr. Ji, isn't Mr. Ji tempted? ”

After Ji Kaihan heard him say this, he couldn't help but be in a fog for a while, and he said a little angrily: "Li Yuanxiao, I talked to you just now, I think you are also a gentleman, although you are a king, and then there is no lack of courage. I didn't expect you to catch a little woman and use her to threaten me, you are too much. ”

Li Yuanxiao laughed, his face was full of unconcealed hesitation, he said: "Of course not, Miss Yao Er has always been rude and willful, how can others force her to do what she refuses to do?" Transferring Miss Yao Er to you is her willingness. Miss Yao Er, is there such a thing? ”

Yao Wanyun lowered her eyebrows, and just said lightly: "But according to the king's orders." ”

After Ji Xianhan heard her words, the whole person was stunned, and he asked suspiciously: "Second Miss Yao, weren't you originally the niece of the Empress Dowager Yao?" Why are you with him now? And looking at the way you look, it seems that he is the talent, right. ”

How smart Ji Qihan is, just a sentence from Yao Wanyun, he has almost spied the truth of the matter.

"Yes, I know you must be confused right now, so I'll explain the whole thing to you." Li Yuanxiao said with a smile: "Second Miss Yao, she is actually my concubine, she has been with me for a long time, but Empress Dowager Yao has never known about it. ”

"What do you say? Miss Yao Er is your concubine? What's going on? After Ji Qihan heard this sentence, he only felt like his brain had exploded.

Although he really has no affection for Miss Yao Er, after all, she has the same face as Jing Hengdi, and he naturally can't help but care about Miss Yao Er.

"You must be weird, right? This is called the building will fall, a tree is difficult to support, the respect of the ninety-five, the true destiny. Even the people of the Yao family are attached to me, Yao Yongsheng has actually been my person all along, why can I smoothly force the Empress Dowager Yao away and seize this palace? It's not because Yao Xiangye helped me get information. ”

"Why did Yao Xiangye help you? I don't understand, he and Empress Dowager Yao were originally brother and sister, so it makes sense that he has to help his sister first. ”

"Actually, you can't blame Yao Xiangye, if you want to blame, blame Empress Dowager Yao. Empress Dowager Yao is really too scheming, she knows that Yao Xiangye has always had great wisdom, but she is afraid that Yao Xiangye will control the government and cause the dictatorship of her relatives and affect her son and even her grandson, so she never gives Yao Xiangye any power. Although Yao Xiangye is Xiangye on the surface, in fact, his official position is idle, you say that Yao Xiangye is such an ambitious and wise person, how can he be satisfied with such a casual position?

Ji Qihan listened carefully, and finally understood what was going on, presumably Yao Jiyin never dreamed that it was her own brother who betrayed her in the end, and now, she is probably still in the dark.

He thought about it, and he didn't know what to do, on the one hand, he really sighed for Yao Wanyun's betrayal, and on the other hand, he didn't want to investigate who was right and who was wrong.

The only thing he knows is the whole thing, since he has promised to help Yao Zhenyin, he must not be a treacherous person, otherwise, he will be sorry for himself.

Yao Wanyun walked to his side, lowered her eyebrows, turned her face to Li Yuanxiao and said, "King, I have a few words I want to say to Mr. Ji, I don't know what the King thinks?" ”

Li Yuanxiao nodded and walked out.

Yao Wanyun looked at Ji Qihan and said to him, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, I lied to you." ”

Ji Kaihan remembered that before entering the palace, he had asked Yao Wanyun some information about the situation in the palace, Yao Wanyun answered very vaguely at that time, Ji Kaihan already had doubts in his heart at that time, but he thought that the reason why Yao Wanyun answered vaguely was because she was a little girl who did not understand the situation in the palace.

Now it seems that she has the intention to conceal it, no wonder Ji Kaihan can't prevent it, this is called having a heart without a heart, no matter how smart Ji Kaihan is, I'm afraid it can't be imagined.

Yao Wanyun raised her head and looked at Ji Qihan with a full gaze, like a pear blossom with rain, and burst into tears.

When Ji Xianhan saw her appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in his heart, once upon a time, Jing Hengdi also looked at him with this kind of eyes, and called him Brother Ji softly. Now, Yao Wanyun actually looked at him with such a look, how could he not be sad or sad in his heart?

It's just that now that things have come to an end, what else is there to say?

Yao Wanyun looked at Ji Qihan and said to him softly: "Brother Ji, I really want to be with you. Why don't you stop worrying about North Korea and let me accompany you and get away with it together, okay? ”

Ji Qihan suddenly laughed and said to her, "Is this the lowest limit of Li Yuanxiao's instructions to you?" ”

"What's the bottom line?" Yao Wanyun couldn't help but be stunned.

"It must be Li Yuanxiao who told you that if you can't convince me to help him, let me go here and never ask about the state affairs of North Korea. In this way, he can get power from the orphans and widows of Empress Dowager Yao more smoothly, is there such a thing? ”

"Brother Ji, do you actually see me like this?" Yao Wanyun looked at him, her eyes were full of tears.

"It's not that I have to look at you like that, it's that you make it impossible for me not to look at you that way. Because Empress Dowager Yao is your aunt, no matter what, your father and daughter should also take care of flesh and blood, but in fact? Instead of doing so, you betrayed Empress Dowager Yao. If my guess is correct, you locked the Empress Dowager Yao at home, not to protect her wholeheartedly, but to hope that she can hand over the Danshu Iron Scroll, or take advantage of the opportunity to take the Danshu Iron Scroll to Li Yuanxiao once she hands over the Danshu Iron Scroll, and then the Empress Dowager Yao may not be alive. Am I right? ”

"That's not right." Yao Wanyun hurriedly shook her head, and said with a hesitant expression: "The king said that he would definitely spare his aunt's life when the time comes, and he will not kill his aunt completely." ”

"Do you also believe Li Yuanxiao's words? Since ancient times, how could a shrewd person like Li Yuanxiao allow others to sleep peacefully on the side of the couch? Empress Dowager Yao is a heroine, if he doesn't kill Empress Dowager Yao, isn't he afraid that Empress Dowager Yao will make a comeback? So, you are naïve. Of course, I don't know if you thought that on purpose, or if you were just trying to lie to me. I've seen a lot of treacherous struggles in the court, and if you want to deceive me, you can't deceive me. ”

After hearing what he said, Yao Wanyun didn't know how to answer him for a while, and she didn't know whether what he said was right or wrong, but the struggle in the court was indeed treacherous, and it was impossible to guard against it.

Ji Qihan stopped talking, he stood there with a blank expression on his face.

Seeing his appearance, Yao Wanyun took two steps forward and said to him: "Brother Ji, I really admire you very much, and I am also very willing to leave the king and be with you." I was forced to follow the king for the sake of my father, but since I met you, you said that I was exactly the same as your former lover, and your kung fu spirit touched me. I really hope to be with you and stay away from this dispute together, okay? ”

"Not good." Ji Kaihan categorically rejected her: "I will not allow a woman with a purpose to stay by my side, not to mention that no matter what, I will not betray Empress Dowager Yao." Ji Kaihan has always been a person who promises a thousand dollars, and since he has promised Empress Dowager Yao to complete this matter for her, he will definitely not regret it. It's useless to say anything. ”

After hearing Ji Kaihan's words, Yao Wanyun's face couldn't help but gloomy for a while, she bowed, retreated in a low voice, and didn't speak more for a while.

After she retreated, Ji Qihan continued to stay in the cell, he knew that the chains locked on his body were all made of steel bars, although he was strong in martial arts, if he wanted to escape, I am afraid it would not be so easy.

That being the case, it is better to take it calmly.

Ji Kaihan has always been an open-minded person, but now although he is locked up and imprisoned, he is still calm in his heart. Otherwise, Yao Wanyun came to persuade him just now, and he was already moved in his heart.

Unconsciously, at dinner time, someone came to deliver food to Ji Aihan, and after the food was delivered, that person fed Ji Aihan little by little, and Ji Qihan didn't want to eat and eat vegetables.

The man was a little strange, he asked, "Ji Daxia, there is one thing I don't understand, I don't know if I can ask you." ”

"If there's anything you want to ask, just ask. Anyway, I'm dying people, what else can't I say to people. ”

"As far as I know, every time a person is locked up here, when he is fed at this time, he often can't eat, thinking that he is afraid that someone will poison the food. But I see that you eat calmly, and you are happy, as if there is no such thing at all, I wonder what you think in your heart? ”

Ji Qihan laughed heartily and said: "What's this, anyway, the horizontal is also dead, and the vertical is also dead, in this case, it is poisoned to death, so what?" Instead, you can die a happier death. Since I've been caught here, I have no intention of escaping. Speaking of this, Ji Xianhan's face showed a hearty look.

When the person who fed him saw it, he couldn't help but admire and said: "Ji Daxia is really a real hero, I have seen many people being locked up here, but no one can do it like Ji Daxia." Ji Daxia, allow me to express my admiration to you. As he spoke, he continued to feed Ji Xinhan.

When the man was feeding, he suddenly had a note in his palm, and there were two words written on it: reversed.

After Ji Kaihan saw these two words, he couldn't help but be stunned, because he clearly recognized that these two words were written by Yao Zhenyin, before he came to assassinate him, when he chatted with Yao Zhenyin, he had seen Yao Zhenyin's handwriting, and he believed that Yao Zhenyin's handwriting was so special, unless someone often imitated it, otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to imitate it so similarly.

Ji Qihan couldn't help but look at the person who delivered the meal a little blankly, and the person continued to say slowly: "Ji Daxia is really admirable, it's just that since our prince is willing to offer such good conditions to recruit Ji Daxia, Ji Daxia doesn't think about himself, but also thinks about the eldest princess who is far away in the Ming Dynasty and Middle Earth." Now that the eldest princess sent Ji Daxia to come, it is nothing more than borrowing soldiers, if Ji Daxia refuses to help the prince because of his own selfishness, but helps the orphans and widows of the Empress Dowager Yao, I am afraid that the eldest princess will not be able to borrow soldiers, maybe the whole army will be wiped out, do you watch your old friends end up like a field? The little emperor has hated the eldest princess for a long time, and if he captures the eldest princess and others, I am afraid that he will never give up so well. On the contrary, the eldest princess still cares about the little emperor, she can capture the little emperor, and at most it is just a punishment, do you think I am right? ”

Ji Qihan looked at him, and only said slowly after a while: "Who are you?" ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I hope Ji Daxia can consider my opinion."

"No, it's important, I want to know who you are."

"Okay, since Ji Daxia wants to know who is below, he might as well tell the truth below, I am Taisun Taifu, and in the past, I was also the person who followed Empress Dowager Yao. It's just that heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs, and in the end, after some choices, I still choose to follow the prince. This is that heroes must know how to distinguish current affairs, I don't know what I said, Ji Daxia is willing to agree. ”

After Ji Kaihan heard him say this, he didn't say a word more.

After he smiled and said a few words to Ji Kaihan, he said goodbye to Ji Kaihan.

After he left, Ji Qihan didn't say a word, he was stunned for a long time when he was alone, since that person was the person next to Yao Zhenyin, why did he suddenly take refuge in Li Yuanxiao?

He believes that with Yao Zhenyin's means of encircling people, it is absolutely impossible for the closest people around her to surrender to others so easily, as for Yao Yongsheng, she must have suppressed Yao Yongsheng out of fear of the dictatorship of her relatives, so Yao Yongsheng is full of jealousy and hatred for this sister, and would rather let his daughter be someone else's concubine, hoping to take the opportunity to take back his due power, which is understandable.

But with such an important official title as Taisun Taifu, he should be loyal to Yao Jiyin, and he suddenly betrayed Yao Jiyin, which is unreasonable.

The only possibility is that he didn't betray Yao Jiyin at all, but stayed by Li Yuanxiao's side, waiting for an opportunity to investigate, and now he said such a thing to himself, and sent two words of rebellion, does this mean Yao Zhenyin?

Ji Qihan was silent, thinking about this matter carefully, and at night, he felt a little tired, so he fell asleep in the cell.

The next day, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that sunlight was leaking in from outside the cell, and the atmosphere in the cell was not as terrifying as last night.

Ji Kaihan has always been a bright and upright person, but this does not mean that he is not careful enough, nor does it mean that he does not know how to strategize, it is just that he disdains it.

Now the arrow is on the bow, and it has to be sent, and there is no other way, although it is not enough to say that the lifeblood of the Joseon Dynasty is in his own hands, but if you think about it carefully, I am afraid that it is not far away.

Thinking of this, he gradually had an idea in his heart.

He guessed that Li Yuanxiao would not just give up, since Li Yuanxiao wanted to use himself for his own use, he would definitely come to coerce, lure and persuade him repeatedly, and sure enough, at noon, Li Yuanxiao came with Yao Wanyun again.

Li Yuanxiao saw Ji Xianhan's appearance, and saw that he had been locked up in the cell for a day and a night, not only did he not have the slightest fatigue, but the whole person was even more energetic, and he couldn't help but come forward and say: "Mr. Ji is really good, he has been in prison for so long, and he is still very energetic. I admire it very much below. ”

Ji Kaihan smiled slightly and said, "It's over." ”

"I don't know what you're thinking, sir, have you ever had the slightest heart for the next plan?"

Ji Qihan looked at him and was silent.

Seeing Ji Kaihan's appearance, Li Yuanxiao felt a little surprised, he thought that he would still have a closed door today, but he didn't expect Ji Kaihan to think vaguely, which shows that he already has a plan in his heart.

But this inevitably came a little too fast, and Li Yuanxiao couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

When Ji Kaihan saw his appearance, he smiled slightly and said, "So far, what you want me to do is nothing more than to take refuge in you." Originally, I thought about doing this a little bit, but now I don't think I should do it. I saw last night that the person who came to bring me food was the grandson of the Empress Dowager Yao, and after he surrendered to you, he actually made a food delivery, don't you think this is very chilling? If I surrender to you, and you let me be a food deliverer, wouldn't that be a big joke? ”

Ji Kaihan's words made Li Yuanxiao feel very strange, he immediately laughed, and said: "I think Mr. Ji is mistaken, Taisun Taifu is not just a food deliverer." It's just that after he heard that Mr. Ji was here yesterday, he really wanted to see Mr. Ji's brilliance, so he automatically asked Ying to bring food to Mr. Ji, and he didn't know what Taisun Taifu said to Mr. Ji. ”

Ji Qihan said calmly and said: "He told me, let me help you, otherwise, I will not be able to borrow soldiers from North Korea." I can't borrow soldiers from you, the eldest princess may be in danger in the struggle with the emperor, and when the time comes, with the little emperor's resentment towards the eldest princess, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my friends. If I could borrow soldiers from you, it would be very different. The eldest princess will definitely be able to win, and when the time comes, it will be easy to quell the turmoil in the court. ”

"Hahaha, what Taifu said really makes sense, I don't know what you think? If you also think that Taifu has a point, you might as well think about it carefully. ”

Mr. Ji smiled and said, "Yes, I am indeed thinking about it, otherwise, I would not be willing to see you today." I think what Taifu said is indeed reasonable, I Ji Kaihan doesn't care about my own honor or disgrace, I want to live or die, it's nothing. But the eldest princess sent me here to borrow troops, no matter what, I can't live up to her thoughts, otherwise, it may affect the entire Ming Dynasty. ”

After hearing him say this, Li Yuanxiao couldn't help clapping his hands and said: "It's rare for Mr. to have such a mind and be willing to take the world as his own responsibility, since this is the case, I don't know if Mr. is willing to advance and retreat together with him?" As long as you can get the Danshu iron scroll and ascend to the throne, you must immediately send troops to the Central Plains to help the princess. Although Yao Zhenyin and the eldest princess are sworn sisters, I believe that the political meaning of the two of them is stronger, and it must be lighter than the feelings between them. Maybe Mr. Ji doesn't like to hear these words, but every word is the truth, and Mr. Ji must know it very well in his heart. Similarly, Zai Xia can also form an alliance with the eldest princess, even if he lets the etiquette of the nephews and nephews treat the eldest princess, it doesn't matter, just pray that Mr. Ji is willing to help get the iron scroll of the Dan Book, I don't know what Mr. Ji thinks? ”

Ji Qihan looked at Li Yuanxiao, and felt that Li Yuanxiao was really an imperial talent, this person was really powerful, if Zhu Jianshen was as smart as him, the court would not be a mess, but this person's cleverness was not used on the right path, but it was actually used to usurp the throne, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
