In front of the dark gate of the Heavenly Machine Palace, the handsome man in brocade clothes and ermine fur had been standing for two hours.

The sky was still snowing, and it was flying wildly.

A hundred-year-old pine tree next to it could no longer stand the oppression of the heavy snow, and the branches of the snow fell down, and clumps of snow fell.

The weather is getting colder and colder.

There were snowflakes one after another, and the man's body had accumulated some snow like a pile of snow, and his clothes had been soaked, and he was frozen into pieces by the cold wind and bitter snow.

But he was still standing, expressionless.

"Lord Wang, don't wait for Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not see you today. It's freezing this day, let's send you back. Grandpa Sun stepped forward and persuaded respectfully.

Huangfu Yuntian looked indifferent, shook his head and said: "This king has something important to report to his father, and I hope that my father-in-law will report it." ”

"Lord Wang, Your Majesty instructed, if you have anything to report to His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Wang, you should go back to the house."

"This king has something important to report to his father, and I hope that my father-in-law will report it."

From beginning to end, Huang Fu Yun's answer was this sentence.

Hearing this, Sun Gonggong couldn't help but sigh in his heart. His Royal Highness King Rong has been waiting here for two hours, and the weather is cold, and ordinary people can't stand it for a long time, but they can also sigh his firmness.

"Since the prince is so insistent, our family will report for the prince again."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Huangfu Yun poured a gentle and polite way.

Father-in-law Sun returned the salute and went into the palace to report.

Huangfu Yun looked at the door of the hall that was opened and closed with deep eyes, and his stiff fingers curled into fists.

The dark and solemn door was opened again, and Grandpa Sun walked out quickly, saluting, "Lord, Your Majesty is invited." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." Huangfu Yuntian let go of his fingers, smiled slightly, and thanked him gently.

Then he shook off the snow on his body and walked slowly into the temple.

Gonggong Sun also followed him into the hall, and then stood beside Emperor Honghua.

The Tianji Hall was originally used for divination, and the decoration inside was mostly dark, plus the Tianji Hall was backed by the sun, because on this snowy day, the hall seemed dim again.

Candles were lit on the glass lamps on both sides of the main hall, and the whole hall was brightly lit, dispelling the darkness.

On the top of the main hall, Emperor Honghua was dressed in civilian clothes, sitting on a soft seat in an idle posture, and looked at the emperor who came in slowly.

"Son-in-law, see father." Huangfu Yun stood under the main hall and held the prince's ceremony.

"Get up." A hint of impatience flashed in Emperor Honghua's eyes, "King Rong, what do you have to see me?" ”

Huangfu Yun poured his eyes and said slowly: "Erchen does have important things that must be reported to his father. ”

"What?" There was a hint of majesty in Honghuadi's voice.

"Father, do you still remember the rebellion of the Twelve Cities of Yanzhou and the Tianguimen incident six years ago?" Huangfu Yun lowered his head slightly, his eyes flashed coldly, and he said slowly.

"Bold." Emperor Honghua shouted when he heard this, and he was furious, "King Rong, you are so bold, who asked you to tell me this, is it Zhaoyi?" ”

Huangfu Yun saw Long Yan's anger, his face couldn't help but turn pale, sweat was like rain, he knocked down, and said in fear: "Father, it's not about the concubine, it's the son-in-law who found some clues and came to report to his father." ”

"It's none of Zhaoyi's business, in my opinion, Zhaoyi's godson has no way to raise such a bold rebel as you." Emperor Honghua scolded head-on.

Huangfu Yun bowed to the ground, and hurriedly said: "Erchen doesn't dare to deceive his father, this matter is done by Erchen alone, please let my father know it." ”

Emperor Honghua's face was gloomy, and he sneered: "King Rong, what is your intention in investigating the rebellion of the twelve cities of Yanzhou and the incident of the Heavenly Ghost Gate?" ”

"Father, Emperor Qi, Yan returned to China to raise troops to invade my western territory under the pretext of the second prince's disappearance in my Daya, and the sons found out that this was caused by the remnants of the chaotic party in Yanzhou and Tianguimen back then." Huangfu Yun said word by word.

The sound of "pop" echoed above the main hall. It turned out that a jade cup was thrown to the ground, making a loud noise.

"The remnants of the chaotic party, what a remnant of the chaotic party." Emperor Honghua was furious, gritted his teeth and said these words, looking at Huangfu Yuntian's eyes with the power of the storm.

Huangfu Yuntian still knelt on the ground, and his palms didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or fear, and a layer of cold sweat broke out.

He knew that finding out about the incident in Yanzhou and Tianguimen would provoke Long Yan's anger, and he was even in danger of being killed, but for the sake of his dream military power, he still chose to risk his life.

"Father, son-in-law also found ······" Huangfu Yun's voice was frightened, and he said cautiously, but he wanted to speak and stopped.

"What else did you find? Tell me all about it. Emperor Honghua's eyes were gloomy, and he said sharply.

Huangfu Yuntian raised his head slightly, glanced at Emperor Honghua cautiously, and pondered for a moment before he said: "Enlighten the father, the sons also found out that the remnants of the Heavenly Ghost Sect used witchcraft against the emperor in the Heavenly Ghost Mountain······ ······ to my father"

Huangfu Yun's voice became lower and lower, lower and lower, almost inaudible.

"Go on." Emperor Honghua's eyes were bloodthirsty, and he said coldly.

"Erchen didn't dare to say it." Huangfu Yun hesitated in panic.

"I forgive you for your innocence."

"They······ used witchcraft to ······ his father Curse. Huangfu Yun poured out a look of openness, gritted his teeth and said.

"Bold." With a loud shout, another jade cup was thrown over and smashed on Huangfu Yuntian's back.

Seeing this, Gonggong Sun hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is angry." ”

"Father's anger is at ease." Huangfu Yuntian also hurriedly said.

"Calm your anger, there are people who want to harm me, how can I stop my anger? And you, why did you tell me now, are you old and confused? Emperor Honghua stood up and pointed at Huangfu Yun and scolded.

"The son knows his mistake, please punish his father." Huangfu Yun said tremblingly, "This matter also involves Yan's return to China, and the sons did not dare to inform their father before they found out the truth, and asked their father to forgive him." ”

"Yan returned to China." Emperor Honghua gritted his teeth and popped out these words from between his teeth, "The little subject country dares to be so bold, are they also old and useless?" ”

"Father, this Yan is so arrogant when he returns to China, and he also asks his father to issue a decree and order someone to go to crusade to strengthen my might."

Emperor Honghua had a calm face, and his eyes were changing. Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Sun De, what is the prince doing these days?" ”

Huangfu Yun saw that Emperor Honghua ignored his words, and actually asked about the crown prince, his heart was cold, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been practicing the "Six Arts" for the rest of the time, except for handling some court chores for His Majesty. ”

"Oh?" When Emperor Honghua heard this, he sneered, "The prince's life is very leisurely, and he doesn't even know that there are traitors who want to murder me. ”

When Gonggong Sun heard this, he was slightly shocked in his heart, and said in a respectful whisper: "Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is guilty of negligence, but I am afraid that this will attract the criticism of the ministers in the court, Your Majesty, you ······ it?"

Emperor Honghua glanced at him lightly, frowned and thought about it, but it was inappropriate. There was nothing wrong with this prince, and he was suddenly grounded, which not only made the prince lose face, but also damaged his own majesty, and he couldn't help sighing: "That's it, this matter will be discussed later." ”

Huangfu Yuntian finally waited for an opportunity that could make the prince unlucky, but he didn't expect that because of this grandson's words, Emperor Honghua took back his fate, and he couldn't help choking in his throat, neither up nor down. So he also had a grudge against his father-in-law.

"King Rong, stand down, I have my own plans for this matter." Emperor Honghua looked tired and waved his hand.

"But my father ······" Huangfu Yuntian was unwilling to let Emperor Honghua drive him back like this, and hissed.

"Stand down, this matter is very important, and it involves a wide range of things, Rong Zhen should think about it." Emperor Honghua frowned.

Seeing this, Huangfu Yun had to retreat in a reluctant voice.

On the huge hall, the candle flame was extinguished, reflecting the wrinkled face of Emperor Honghua.

"Sun De, did you say that there are really any remnants of the Twelve Cities and Heavenly Ghost Gate incident in Yanzhou six years ago?" Emperor Honghua looked at the extinguished candle flame, with an indescribable look on his face, and asked faintly.

Gonggong Sun glanced at Emperor Honghua cautiously, and said warmly: "Your Majesty, the rebellion of the twelve cities of Yanzhou and the rebellion of the Heavenly Ghost Gate were personally ordered by His Majesty to encircle and suppress them, and six years have passed, and I have never heard of any rebellion in the party, and the slave maid thinks that this matter is ······."

"How?" Emperor Honghua groaned and raised his eyebrows.

"It's not credible."

"Really?" Emperor Honghua paced to the candle flame, looked at the flying insects fighting the fire next to the candle flame, and his voice was cold, "It's better to believe it than to believe it." ”

"Your Majesty is very true." Grandpa Sun only replied.

Emperor Honghua picked the wick with candle scissors, and the lights in the room became brighter, as if he had no intention of asking, "Is King Mu okay?" ”

Gonggong Sun was stunned when he heard this, a slight surprise flashed in his eyes, and he didn't understand why Emperor Honghua suddenly mentioned King Mu, but he still replied: "Avoidance, King Mu still lives in King Mu's mansion." ”

Emperor Honghua looked leisurely and lit the candles one by one, and his expression seemed to have heard Sun Gonggong's words, as if he had not heard it.

Gonggong Sun followed behind him, following in the same direction, and he couldn't understand Emperor Honghua's mind for a while.

"King Mu and his mother Xu Liangdi haven't seen each other for a long time, spread the word and let King Mu enter the palace." Emperor Honghua put down the candle scissors in his hand, and his voice was faint.

When Grandpa Sun heard this, he was even more shocked.

Since the rebellion against the Twelve Cities of Yanzhou and the rebellion of Tianguimen, after Emperor Mu Jingming fell into the water and became frightened and became stupid, Emperor Honghua almost never mentioned this nominal King Mu again, but he didn't know why he was so tolerant today and let King Mu enter the palace.

But his face did not show the slightest undeserved look, and said respectfully: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Emperor Honghua's eyes reflected the candle flame, glowing with a little ghostly light, but his voice was faint, and said: "I haven't been to the court for a few days, the situation in the court is changing rapidly, Sun De, pass on my will, and go to the court immediately." ”

The light voice is full of supreme majesty and domineering.

"The slave obeys."

It was almost noon, and the loud bell rang from the Tai'an Palace.
