Looking at the wounds on his father's body, King Chen was afraid for a while. Fortunately, the imperial guards around my father were more effective and dealt with them properly. If this arrow is not blocked, I am afraid that it will not deviate from these three inches, then this sword will go straight to the heart of my father. So the life of the father and the emperor...... But still?

couldn't help but look at King Yong, and the look in his eyes was very complicated.

King Yong didn't look at King Chen at this time, but was quietly thinking about something.

Under the escort of the guards, the emperor left the forest and returned to Luanyu. Because the emperor was injured, this hunt had to end. Everyone rushed back to Beishan in a huff, and the joy when they didn't come back was unbridled. The emperor was injured, which was a dangerous signal for everyone. Once the situation changes, these people on Mengshan may not survive.

And who is this attacker? Naturally, everyone thinks that the Yongwang and the Zhenguo Mansion may be bigger. But this is just the thoughts of everyone, after all, no one has real evidence. And in the end, the word "killing the father" is not easy to bear, and King Yong may not necessarily have such courage.

Everyone returned to the Beishan Courtyard with their own thoughts, and the emperor did not announce that any minister was coming, so naturally no one dared to come forward at this time. They all just looked worried, watched the emperor's Luan Yu enter the other garden, and went to the star residence behind the other garden. In my heart, I was naturally relieved. What they really care about is not the emperor's safety, but whether they will be implicated.

The ministers can escape, but how can a few princes escape?

King Chen and King Jing really care about the emperor, and they are also people in the middle of things, so naturally they have no intention of escaping; If King Yong is holding back his stomach to blame, he is just waiting to find a good time to talk to the emperor, so he naturally has to follow. King Yu was reluctant in his heart, knowing that this was strange, and knowing that several of his brothers had a big show to sing. He wasn't interested in watching the play, but he had to follow it.

Fortunately, although the arrow was deep, it was not critical, and the accompanying imperial physician applied medicine to the emperor and bandaged the wound, and saw that the emperor had no instructions, so he hurriedly retreated. Everyone knows that this is a place of right and wrong, and they are in a hurry to hide far away.

The imperial concubine always accompanied the emperor with a worried face, but she didn't dare to speak. At this time, the imperial doctor left, but he was only angry, and he didn't dare to go out to help the emperor dress.

Several princes stood aside, just like imperial concubines, all of them just watched quietly with worried expressions, without saying anything. Even King Yu had to frown tightly at this time and make a look of concern. Forced by the situation, he couldn't let his father grasp the handle in this matter, so that he was angry with him.

The imperial concubine helped the emperor put on a bright yellow robe, and Li Zhonggui handed the emperor a cup of warm water to moisten his throat. The room was still quiet.

It wasn't until the emperor slowly drank the cup of tea that there was a sound in the room. It was King Yong's concern: "Fortunately, the person who started the attack was not good at kung fu and did not shoot into the heart of my father, if not, the injury would be more serious." Looking at his father's wounds, Erchen is so scared...... Who has such courage and such ruthlessness? ”

Hearing his words, the emperor's mood did not have any waves. Instead, he calmly laid his gaze on the faces of several of them, and looked around at each of them. In the end, his eyes fell on King Jing's body and looked at it for a long time.

Only then did he instruct Li Zhonggui: "Zhonggui, show the arrow to King Jing." ”

"Yes." Li Zhonggui answered, and handed the arrow wrapped with the word "Jing" to King Jing as it was.

King Jing took it, and naturally knew that what his father asked him to read was the word wrapped in it. When I took down the strip of cloth wrapped around the arrow, I saw that the word "Jing" was written on the body of the arrow. But this was already expected by him, and there was no sense of surprise, and there was no need to pretend to be surprised. Just holding the arrow in both hands, he knelt down and said: "This matter is not the work of the son-in-law, I hope my father will see it!" ”

"But how to interpret the words on this arrow?" The emperor's voice and expression were very calm, not because he recognized King Jing's meaning, but he also did not believe that he had nothing to do with this matter.

"I don't know." King Jing did not make much of a defense. This matter is clearly framed by someone, and the justification that can be made is nothing more than "the retainer was framed". But if his father believed him and didn't say it, his father would have expected it; If his father doesn't believe him, it's a quibble.

He naturally didn't think that his father would trust him much, but his father didn't trust anyone. Dan Yuli, with his father's wisdom, should not think that he has the need to do this.

Seeing that King Jing didn't make much defense, at this time, King Chen, who was supposed to defend King Jing in a reasonable way, didn't say much. just knelt down and said: "Father Emperor Mingjian, if this is done by the fourth brother, then the sons and sons will not be able to get rid of it." Because since he entered the forest, Erchen has been with his fourth brother. But neither Erchen nor the fourth brother would do such a foolish thing. ”

Seeing this, King Yong even knelt down with King Chen. Learning from King Chen's appearance, he didn't have much panic and earnest words to help and excuse him, but said sincerely: "I still hope that my father and emperor will be aware of it, and with the fourth brother's person, he will never do such a rebellious thing." ”

Even, there is one more sentence than the justification of King Chen and King Jing: "I think someone must have harmed the fourth brother." And this method of inflicting harm is quite unclever. ”

No, it was inevitable that he would get into trouble, and King Yu had to kneel down and say: "The fourth brother will never do such a thing, and I implore my father to investigate." ”

Seeing that his sons were so brotherly, the emperor, who was originally calm, turned pale at this time. The words were quite calm: "Your brothers are united, and I am relieved to see it...... Fourth, your brothers and sisters are all interceding for you, what do you have to say? Your eldest brother said that someone must have harmed you in this matter, what do you think? ”

In fact, King Yong mentioned that someone harmed him, and the harm method was quite unclever, which had already made his father suspicious. How can anyone who dares to do harm to him be stupid? This is the method of inflicting harm, but why? Unless someone deliberately made his father feel that he was framed.

When his father asked him this, he was obviously guided by his eldest brother. But in this matter, he and the third brother have no room for argument at all. No matter how fanciful their justifications are, as soon as the eldest brother's words come out, their justifications will become a cover-up.

Therefore, he could only say: "This matter is indeed not the son's doing, but as for who is harming the son's minister, and why he uses such a method, the son's minister can't guess." ”

King Yong wanted to say something more and directly point out that it was him who was a thief and shouted to catch a thief, but he felt that he couldn't make it too obvious, otherwise he would lead the spearhead to himself. Therefore, after listening to King Jing's words, he was also silent, and together with King Chen and King Yu, he did not express any opinions.

For a while, there was another terrible silence in the Chengtian Pavilion.

After a while, the emperor's eyes fell on King Yu's body and said, "Old Five, you say." ”

King Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "This ...... Erchen doesn't know what's going on. When he returned, Erchen learned that his father was injured. ”

"Don't pretend to be confused", the emperor's voice sank, "Just tell me if someone harmed King Jing." ”

"Yes......" King Yu could only respond.

With the emperor's deep and right attitude, King Yu didn't have the heart to think about it, anyway, his father and emperor had never had a good temper towards him. The reason why his father asked him was because he felt that he was an outsider, and only his words were neutral.

But his neutrality is due to the fact that he has never done anything. Once he gets involved in some things, it is either right or wrong, and his answer cannot be neutral. Either to help King Jing and King Chen, or to help King Yong, both sides always have to stand on one side.

The father thought that he had never been involved in the government and politics, and he didn't care about the love of father and son, or brotherhood, so he naturally looked at things with reason. But in fact, he didn't care what the truth was. He only cares about whether what he says will cause trouble for himself and whether his current life will be affected. In fact, when his father asked him for his opinion on this matter, he was already forcing him to choose a camp, but his father himself didn't realize it.

Whether to choose the third brother and the fourth brother, or the eldest brother, this is something he must decide before he speaks.

Now the eldest brother has nothing but the identity of this "eldest son". There is no mother to rely on, no pivotal position in the government and the opposition, and no love from his father...... Of course, all their princes did not have the love of their fathers. In addition to these "no", the big brother "has", which is even more of a headache.

For the eldest brother, the power of the Zhou family is not only not relied on, but dragged down. He is the son of Empress Zhou, and this drag is flowing in his blood, and he can't escape.

But what about the third brother? In the harem, there is a favored mother concubine to help him speak, and the queen mother, who has a great relationship with the Shen family, supports him, has the help of King Jing, the respect of the prince, and maybe the little trust that his father has never given to others. The disadvantage of the third brother is only the entanglement between him and Qin Yingyue and his identity as a concubine. But since the third brother was a teenager, his romance is well known.

Everyone is accustomed to the third brother's romance, so much so that the matter with Qin Yingyue is a big fault for being placed with others, but if it is placed with him, it is just a sentence of "playfulness". As for the identity of the concubine...... If the queen dies, the successor queen must be the imperial concubine, so the identity of the third brother, won't he become a concubine? The queen had tuberculosis, and this disease was not curable, and it was only a matter of time before she died.

After a quick calculation in his heart, King Yu spoke: "Erchen thinks that this matter is really difficult to conclude. On the surface, it seems that someone deliberately framed the fourth brother, and the means are quite inferior, which is the first possibility; The second layer may be that the fourth brother did this. The fourth brother escaped responsibility by making people mistakenly believe that someone had framed him. The third meaning is that someone still frames the fourth brother......"

Because my father was wise, when he saw the superficial meaning, he would definitely think of this second meaning. If someone is interested in pointing, the father will naturally think that the fourth brother did this. This is the most subtle way to frame people, the highest means. ”

The emperor listened quietly and said with a smile: "Old Five, you think very well...... But is there a fourth meaning? ”

This sounds like a compliment, but no one laughs.

"Yes", King Yong also smiled, "If you push it down with the fifth child's intention, wouldn't it be the root cause of this matter, or the fourth child?" Because my father was wise, how could he think of the second intention and stop? I will definitely think about it on the third level. And when I think of the third layer, it is not difficult to think that this may be the deliberate guidance of the fourth child. ”
