Chapter 362: If you want Yun Ge or the throne
Qi Chun was stunned, and suddenly understood what Emperor Wu meant in his heart, glanced at Mu Yunge meaninglessly, bowed and retreated.
Mu Yunge's heart was also pounding, it was just such a sentence, she knew that in Emperor Wu's mind, Wei Shi was finally chosen.
Soon, Wei Shi followed the Imperial Forest Army into the Zhaode Palace, he was still wearing armor, obviously after receiving the holy decree, he rushed non-stop. He was dusty, and the stubble on his chin was circled, and he looked more stable than usual. As soon as he came in, he brought a breath of heat, lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down, and said loudly: "The son was recalled to Beijing, knocking to see his father, long live my father, long live long live my father!" β
"Shi'er, come forward and ......" Emperor Wu coughed twice and beckoned to Wei Shi.
Wei Shi heard Emperor Wu ask Mu Yunge outside the hall just now, and after listening to Emperor Wu's instructions, a faint anger flashed in his lowered eyebrows, and he hesitated for a moment before stepping forward.
Walking to Emperor Wu's couch, Emperor Wu motioned for him to sit down, and then asked with a smile: "It came so quickly, but when you received the holy decree, you rushed around the clock?" β
"My father summoned me, and my sons didn't dare not come." Wei Shi replied in a low voice: "However, the military situation in the south is urgent, and before the son-in-law set off, he had temporarily handed over the military administration to the deputy general Lin Yi in charge, and he did not ask his father to blame, and asked his father not to blame him." β
"Will be outside, the king's order will not be affected. Father won't blame you. Emperor Wu waved his hand and leaned against the bed and kicked lightly for a while.
Seeing this, Wei Shi stepped forward to help him.
Emperor Wu gasped for a while, looked outside, and asked, "Why hasn't the Zhongshu Order come yet?" β
"Yun Ge will let people urge again." Mu Yunge whispered, "Father, wait a moment." In front of Wei, there is no need to mention the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, Mu Yunge consciously changed his name, which can be regarded as reminding Emperor Wu of his current identity.
Emperor Wu closed his eyes and nodded: "You go and urge it personally." β
Mu Yunge was a little stunned, but she quickly understood that Emperor Wu was deliberately trying to break her up. She blessed her body, bowed down from the side hall, and went to urge the Zhongshu order.
As soon as Mu Yunge left, Emperor Wu opened his eyes, and the whole person came to his senses.
He stared at Wei Shi with blazing eyes, looking at this son he liked the most, but never thought of letting him inherit the throne, his eyes slowly narrowed. Did he underestimate Wei Shi, or did Wei Shi's acting skills be too good and completely deceived him? These days he was seriously ill, and he stayed away from the government, and his heart gradually became clear.
The princes were lost one by one, and in the end, only Wei Shi stood out, if it was an accident, Emperor Wu also came out of the battle for succession, he would never believe it!
The only answer is in his heart. But to his horror, he found that by now, he had no choice!
As an emperor and the lord of a country, he is now being set aside by his own son, and even if he has doubts in his heart, he doesn't dare to say it easily, even if he once trusted Qi Chun the most, he can't!
How sad is this?
Emperor Wu sighed softly, he would never admit defeat, even if he was at a disadvantage, he had a way to get rid of the control of others. No one wants to hold him in applause, don't think!
Emperor Wu beckoned to Wei Shi and motioned for him to stretch out his hand. Wei Shi complied suspiciously, stretched out his hand, and was grasped by Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu tightly clamped Wei Shi's wrist and dragged him to his side, his eyes were facing each other, one had clear eyes, and the other had poison in his eyes, and Emperor Wu said word by word: "Shi'er, you honestly tell your father that you have never thought about that supreme position?" Swear in your mother's name! β
There was a soft sound, something was quietly shattered in this hall, and which palace maid panicked and made a noise.
Wei Shi looked at the elderly father in front of him, looking at the face that he admired the most, and there was only endless amazement and loss in his heart.
When Concubine De died, he had a strong hatred and hatred for the ungrateful Emperor Wu, but when it was Emperor Wu's turn to be bedridden and the war broke out, the hatred in his heart gradually turned into flat.
Now looking at this face again, the admiration is not there, the disgust is not there, in front of Emperor Wu, he is just a child who has lost his mother, just a child who is very disappointed in his father!
Wei Shi shook his head: "Erchen doesn't want to lie, as a prince, if you don't have the slightest covetousness for that position, it is purely a lie." Even if Erchen didn't have it before, from the moment he met Yun Ge, Erchen was determined to get it! β
"For the sake of ...... Cloud Song? For a ...... An insignificant woman? Emperor Wu was stunned, and then sneered.
He doesn't believe it, he definitely doesn't believe it, there are still people in this world who don't fight for this supreme position for rights and status, and when they sit in the world, what kind of woman can't get it?
Mu Yunge was instructed by Emperor Wu to summon Zhongshu Ling, and when he arrived at Zhongdao outside the Zhaode Palace, he met Zhongshu Ling. Zhongshu Ling was also accompanied by a person dressed as a palace maid, holding the ink cartridge and imperial silk of Zhongshu Ling, and followed Zhongshu Ling step by step. She lowered her head, her eyebrows were not distinct, Mu Yunge only glanced at it, and then turned her eyes away.
Explaining his intentions, Zhongshu Ling was suddenly frightened, and did not dare to delay at all, and followed Mu Yunge back to Zhaode Hall quickly.
Before the two of them entered the palace, they heard Emperor Wu asking Wei Shi, so they could only stop in a hurry, hide behind the palace, and wait for Emperor Wu to summon them.
Hearing Emperor Wu's question, Mu Yunge's face turned pale almost instantly, and the hand hidden in his sleeve suddenly clenched into a fist.
Soon, Mu Yunge closed his eyes and calmed the resentment in his heart.
It is Wei Shanzhi who has exactly the same temperament as Emperor Wu, not Wei Shi. Wei Shi is different, she believes that he is different!
The hall was quiet for a moment, and finally, Wei Shi spoke......
"Yun Ge is not an insignificant woman, she is a treasure that can't even be compared to the world to her sons." Wei Shi broke free of his hand, a little angry at Emperor Wu's remarks, and couldn't help but retort: "Maybe for my father, the women of the world are at your fingertips, and there is nothing remarkable, but for the sons, only what you can get with a real heart-for-heart is eternal." β
"Eternity? Ha, there are eternal things in this world? Emperor Wu was noncommittal to this statement, and felt extremely ridiculous: "You are a prince, and now you are a prince, you can still say such naΓ―ve words!" β
"The father feels naΓ―ve, but the son is from the bottom of his heart." Wei Shi lowered his head, his tone was respectful, but his demeanor was very indifferent.
Emperor Wu looked at him stunned, looking at this son, but as if he had never known him, he was impressed by this son.
He carefully looked at Wei Shi's expression, as if he was discerning the truth of Wei Shi's words, but on that face, Emperor Wu only saw a calm, clear gaze with him, without the slightest emptiness.
It was as if something had come out of Emperor Wu's heart, making him feel uncomfortable, and he was very familiar with that feeling...... That's jealousy!
He also had such clear eyes and smiles, but they have long been worn out in the years. He looked at the son in front of him again, Wei Shi was still so young, and the years ahead were still so long, but what about him, he was already dying, and the remaining years could only be wasted on this square inch bed, and he could no longer gallop on the battlefield, and he could no longer ......
The more he looked at Wei Shi, the more uncomfortable he felt, it was obviously his own son, but he couldn't help but want to tear Wei Shi's calm face with his own hands.
Emperor Wu took a deep breath, put all his emotions in the fist in his heart, nodded, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I believe in you." When I was young, I also had a young woman, and I also had a woman I loved......"
"It's Bai Jiu." Wei Shi said softly.
Emperor Wu sighed and said, "Yes, you know. The woman my father loves most in his life is her...... When his father was a prince, he traveled the world and met her outside Beijing, and later his father took her into the palace, but later, she also left. Shi'er, you like Yunge very much, don't you? β
"Yes, Erchen only needs her in this life!" Wei Shi said categorically.
"Good!" Emperor Wu was waiting for this sentence, he raised his head and stared at Wei Shi's eyes: "You only have two choices now, do you want the throne or Yunge?" β
"Father!" This question undoubtedly shocked Wei Shi, he stood up, took a step back, and looked at Emperor Wu lying on the sickbed with some disbelief: "Father, what do you mean by this?" β
Emperor Wu sneered: "That's what you understand." In ancient times, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chose the prince, wandered left and right, and finally chose Liu Fuling, and gave his mother to death; Now that I have chosen you, your mother is not alive, if you want to be free from the hidden danger of the dictatorship of your relatives, I can only give Mu Yunge death. Whether you want the throne or Mu Yunge, you choose! It's a tough choice, and I'm giving you a quarter of an hour to think about it......"
As he spoke, his eyes subconsciously swept the apse, he knew that Mu Yunge must be there at this moment, listening to Wei Shi's answer with his own ears.
But Wei Shi didn't know, he didn't know, the longer he chose to be silent, the more Mu Yunge outside the hall would be like ashes.
The sneer on the corner of Emperor Wu's mouth was evil and cold, Wei Shi deceived him, even if it was father and son, his imperial dignity would not allow to be provoked, in this life, no one would want to play with him. After today, even if Wei Shi gets the throne and Mu Yunge, they don't want to raise their eyebrows like before!
What is a lifetime and a couple, Emperor Wu doesn't believe it, he only believes that in this world, no one can resist the temptation of supreme power!
Wei Shi took a step back and shook his head slowly, he looked at the old man on the bed, his eyes disappointed and indifferent: "I said, I only need Yunge one." β
Hearing this, Mu Yunge outside the hall finally breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled with tears in his eyes.
She knew that no matter what temptation she faced, Wei Shi's heart would not change, no!
"He will neither give up Yunge nor the throne!" In the silence of the hall, the palace maid who was standing behind Mu Yunge with her eyebrows lowered suddenly said coldly, and stood up and shouted.
