"One more thing, grandfather, don't forget ......."

"What's the matter?" Zhou Yan felt that it was very strange for King Yong to ask this, why did it seem that he was letting it go?

"Grandpa......" At this time, King Yong was already standing behind Zhou Yan, patted Zhou Yan's back very closely, and said with a smile, "Grandpa, don't forget, with this king behind you, the actions of your Zhou family forces are to arrest the traitors who killed their fathers; But if there is no king standing behind you, the Zhou family will go to King Chen's Huixian residence to arrest people, but it will be a rebellion. ”

Zhou Yan smiled, understood what King Yong meant, and looked down on him even more in his heart. He has long known that his grandson is a person who can only talk nonsense, and when it comes to real tricks, he will not dare to breathe. King Yong was worried that he would be dumped by their Zhou family, and that the Zhou family would directly throw him away, and he would seek a change of dynasty in this Mengshan Palace.

In the current situation, it would not be difficult for him to do so. But there is a case, in case it fails, then there is no chance to find someone to be a scapegoat. Once the matter fails, it can only be broken to pieces. Everything is in a hurry, how can there be so many things that can be done overnight? And in the march and battle, the most taboo thing is to change tactics on the spot, let alone plan such a big thing?

How it was decided before, how it came, it can't be changed. King Yong's worries are really superfluous. But it is also in line with the character of his grandson.

"Lin'er, don't worry, grandpa said that he would do something for you, and he would help you wholeheartedly, you just have to put your heart in your stomach." Zhou Yan said with a smile.

At this point, it is useless to talk too much. At this time, it seems that no matter whether King Yong listens to him or not, he can't make any trouble, because he has no ability.

"Grandpa, in fact, you are the king's father-killing enemy......" King Yong hugged Zhou Yan's shoulders and smiled a little weirdly.

Zhou Yan felt that from King Yong's words, he felt a cold chill. I know in my heart that no matter how much King Yong says that he hates the emperor, he still has some father-son affection for the emperor. Now that the emperor is dead, he must be sad in his heart. But this black cauldron of killing the monarch can't all be carried by their Zhou family.

sneered: "Lin'er, what you mean, grandpa can't understand?" You ordered the arrows to be shot, and you have to do things. If you have to find an enemy who killed your father, you are. ”

Zhou Yan turned around and said with a smile: "Seeing that we are going to do something, we can't rebel." ”

Zhou Yan looked at King Yong and sighed earnestly: "I am your grandfather, how can I harm you and your mother?" Even if you have to treat your grandfather as an enemy who kills your father, if you think about it, without your grandfather, you and your mother will die. From the grandfather's point of view, the life of the king is compared to the life of his own daughter and grandson. ”

His grandson was very confused, and when he saw that he was going to act, it was better to appease him. But this foolish person is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Once you plan carefully, maybe you will really be calculated by him. Be more careful in the future. But that's all for the future, and for now, the arrow is on the bow, and it must be shot well. Shoot accurately.

The life of his eldest son and the glory of his Zhou family are all tied to today's move.

Seeing that King Yong's expression softened a little, Zhou Yan put his mind at ease and said, "I'll arrange it, but I must not let King Chen take the lead." ”

It doesn't matter if you delay three or five sentences, but if you delay it any longer, it will be bad.

"Grandpa, don't worry, this king still has something to say." King Yong stopped Zhou Yan, who had just turned around.

Zhou Yan was in a hurry to do something, and he was so verbose that he was already a little impatient. When he turned around and was about to say something unpleasant, before he could speak, he saw a fierce light suddenly popping up in the eyes of King Yong, and he smiled very strangely......

Before he could react, something was wrong, and a dagger was quickly inserted into his abdomen! Before Zhou Yan's cry of pain could be spoken, he was already covered by King Yong's mouth. At the same time, the dagger in King Yong's hand stabbed a few more times!

Zhou Yan's eyes widened, staring at King Yong in disbelief, the pain could not pour into his eyes at all, and in his eyes, there was only shock at this time, all of them were shock...... Not even anger or hatred.

King Yong's eyes were full of hatred, like flames, as if he could burn the old man in front of him who had been twisted by pain.

Zhou Yan's body gradually fell downward, but those eagle eyes were still looking at King Yong in shock......

Feeling that Zhou Yan was dying, the tension in King Yong's heart eased a little, and the anger in his eyes gradually eased due to the relaxation of his mind...... Only then did he notice Zhou Yan's eyes. Seeing his unbelievable look, King Yong's heart throbbed violently.

But then, like throwing garbage, he threw Zhou Yan to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, didn't you teach me?" Attack it unprepared, strike first is strong. Grandpa, you've done everything you should do, and it's time to retire. ”

Hearing King Yong's words, Zhou Yan's eyes, which were already a little sluggish, showed a little anger. His mouth moved, but in the end, he didn't say a word except for two dry "uh" and "uh".

looked at King Yong angrily, but his neck was crooked, his head fell to the ground, and he lost his breath. The sharp eagle eyes in the past, at this time, are still open. Shocked, angry, unwilling...... Intermingled.

King Yong looked at Zhou Yan lying on the ground for a long time, and suddenly, the dagger in his hand fell to the ground. In the quiet room, there was a loud sound. King Yong seemed to be frightened by this sound, his hands trembled slightly, and he retreated again and again. I tried to grab the table behind me to stabilize myself, but I hit the stool first, slipped under my feet, and fell heavily to the ground. His waist slumped on the stool, but he couldn't feel the pain anymore.

Just sat on the ground, looking at the corpse in front of him in a daze, breathing rapidly, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat......

This was the first time he had killed someone with his own hands, and it was his maternal grandfather......

King Yong's forehead, back, and palms were full of cold sweat, but he felt that his mouth was dry, and he tried to stand up on the ground several times, but he had no strength. I'm anxious and anxious to do something, but no matter how hard I struggle, my legs just don't listen to the call and can't stand up at all.

I don't know how many times I repeated it, but the pounding heart calmed down a little, and I had a little strength in my hands and feet. Finally barely stood up, supported the table with his hands, sat on the stool next to him, and lay on the table panting......

In the Chengtian Pavilion, the emperor called a few henchmen in the Imperial Forest Army, and after giving them some detailed instructions, he explained that they would retreat. When the commanders retreated, one of them frowned, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

After explaining the precautionary arrangements on the side of the other garden, the emperor stood up and instructed Li Zhonggui: "Prepare, once we start, let's go to the secret passage to hide." ”

With his current physical condition, it was impossible to rush back to Kyoto City overnight, so he could only find a place to hide for the time being.

The imperial concubine frowned, worried in her heart. But it is not only the emperor's body that is worried, but also her son.

The emperor's intention was obviously not to call Shang Chen'er to hide in the secret passage together. Although Chen'er's side had already found out about King Yong's rebellion preparations, after all, the sword had no eyes when it came to fighting, and if it was injured in the chaos......

And if the rebel army wants to capture the thief and capture the king, but can't find the emperor, wouldn't they put this "capture the king" move on Chen'er? The emperor's move is tantamount to treating Chen'er as a substitute for the dead! Although the emperor may not really think so, things are true.

After a life-and-death struggle just now, the imperial concubine was unwilling to think too ruthlessly of the emperor. Thinking about it, he still said softly: "Your Majesty...... Even now, can't your majesty determine who the one who is going to cause the rebellion is? ”

The emperor was silent.

He thinks that the Yongwang is more likely. After all, after the incident, the third child has not come until now, but King Yong really rushed into the room as if he was tempted. But after that, King Yong's cry of pain did not seem to be fake. The "father" who screamed bitterly really touched him.

If one day I really die, I would be glad to have such painful cries from my children.

The emperor sighed, raised his hand vigorously, took the hand of the imperial concubine, and said softly: "No matter which one wants to make trouble, I don't want to believe it." But no one will make a mess, but I can't make up my mind...... Yaomin, of course I want to believe the third child, but you have to know...... This is the royal ...... Come to think of it, you know it yourself, the third ...... The city is deep. ”

Hearing what the emperor said, the imperial concubine's heart felt a little lighter. The emperor was not sure who the person who caused the rebellion, so he let Chen'er stay outside, which was a test of the equality of the two sons. But if you have already determined in your heart who the troublemaker is, but still let Chen'er stay outside, you will really treat your son as a substitute for the dead.

It's better not to trust than to know that he didn't do anything wrong, but still let him die, right?

Yaomin...... All I can promise you is ...... If the person who made the trouble is really the third child, I ...... Will spare his life. "The emperor said.

The imperial concubine knew that there was no joke in you. When the emperor said this, he did give Chen'er and her the greatest leniency and tolerance. The crime of killing the monarch is already a big one, and coupled with the article of killing the father, it is an unforgivable crime, and it is not too much to be afraid of Ling Chi. But the emperor still misses the love of father and son in the end.

Although she knew in her heart that the rebellious person must not be her son, she still reddened her eyes with gratitude when she heard the emperor say this. At this time, relative silence is worth a thousand words.

Although even after knowing that it was King Yong's rebellion, the emperor may not kill King Yong. But the compassion that comes to the end is not the same as not killing that has been prepared for a long time. She knew that most of the forgiveness that the emperor had prepared for Chen'er was still aimed at her. Because this was her son, it was him and her son, so he could not bear to give the order to be put to death.

Since the emperor left Chen'er outside because of distrust, and with this guarantee, the imperial concubine is no longer worried about her son, but she can't say anything. can only wait for the emperor to ease up, so he helped the emperor to get up, wanting to go to the secret passage as soon as possible.

There is no doubt that this was done by King Yong. Now that King Yong has seen that the emperor is "dead", in order to seize the opportunity, he will definitely act immediately and delay it for a long time, but he is afraid that the emperor will really be harmed by those chaotic troops.

Li Zhonggui had already packed up two thick mattresses and a thick quilt, and was wearing a teapot with warm water and some fine pastries that were easy to chew. Seeing that the imperial concubine had already helped the emperor to get up, she hurriedly took the cloak and put it on the emperor, so that the emperor would not get cold when he entered the secret passage. As soon as they were properly prepared, the imperial concubine and Li Zhonggui followed the emperor's guidance and went to the west wall of the small study......
