Legalists are good at speculating on intentions.

That's what they think is justice, what is right and what must be done.

At the same time, the Legalists are also good at the way of the Emperor.

As far as Goshawk was concerned, when he heard that the emperor did not appoint a new crown prince after deposing the crown prince, he knew what that majesty thought.

"So what?"

"If there is a prince who is more liked by the emperor than his brother, will he be able to do something that is not easy to do?"

The goshawk swallowed something in his mouth, and his movements were slow, accompanied by a loud noise.

"What did Mo Yi tell you?"

"Yes. ”

The goshawk looked at the Divine Monarch and was silent for a long time.

"Do you remember when the Mo family controlled the world?"

"Confucianism will kill us, but Mo Yi will not. ”

Mo Yi couldn't think of these things before, but now he thinks of them. ”

People always change.

Goshawk didn't say this, but he knew that Shenjun understood what he meant.

"Maybe Mo Yi wants us to die in the future, but Confucianism wants us to die now. ”

"Will the Four Princes listen to you? The Golden Bloodline has never been controlled. ”

The Divine Monarch shook his head slowly: "We have no other way. ”

"You've made the most dangerous choice, it's a gamble. ”

Shenjun didn't say anything, just sighed.

"I agree to join your gamble," Goshawk shook his head with a complicated expression, "but what to do, you have to discuss with four people, and Mo Yi is not the boss." ”

"Four people?"

"And the soldier Tianxiong. ”

......

Yuan Huang stood on the Tianxiang Tower, looking at the lights on the other side of the river.

The night is deep, there are few cold stars in the sky, and the reflection is swaying in the river, which is particularly scattered compared to the lights on the shore.

He really loved the place.

The Fourth Prince sighed in a voice that only he could hear.

It's just a pity that he can only stay here for a short time.

The emperor should have already gotten the secret music, even if the bridge car is broken, the royal royal family's eight-hundred-mile expedited can still send the letter to the capital at the fastest speed in the world, and Yuan Huang knows that as long as the emperor sees the song, he will definitely want to see him immediately.

He's right.

An attendant walked up and handed Yuan Huang a copy of the decree.

It was the emperor's handwriting, and he wanted the four princes to return to Beijing, immediately.

Yuan Huang sighed, took one last look at the stars on the river, turned around and walked downstairs.

Downstairs, a good horse was already waiting.

The stars shifted, and the night passed quickly.

It only took Yuan Huang one night to arrive in the capital.

In the early morning, there was an irresistible cold in the wind, and the four princes stood in front of the gate of the imperial city, handed the reins to the people around them, and walked into the gate that only opened a gap.

The emperor is already waiting.

When Yuan Huang knelt down to salute, a thought suddenly crossed his heart, did the emperor wait here all night.

He shook his head inwardly, and then tried to stand up.

Then the fourth prince suddenly found that the emperor had not yet spoken out to let him stand up.

"You lied to me?"

Yuan Huang raised his head and saw the bloodshot and cold expression in the emperor's eyes.

The fourth prince lowered his head and didn't say a word.

"You lied to me!"

The emperor stood up furiously and walked back and forth in front of the throne: "Jiangnan is eroded! Waste farming has become a laughing stock, the relocation of the border and the sea cannot prohibit water ghosts who are not people, and the sampan that is not a ship cannot be banned, the majesty of the court is swept away, officials are killed like dogs, and there are so many deaths, I can't even hear a single message!"

"You told me that it was done by Confucianism! The Jiangnan family! The dogs, the dogs who only barked with their tails between their legs when they watched me kill all the people! They dare!"

The emperor stopped, stood in front of Yuan Huang, and shouted: "You gave me the guts!!"

"That's true. ”

The Emperor smiled.

He seems to have been completely robbed of his mind by anger, when in reality, it is not.

"Who did it to cut off the canal, make it impossible for the boats to go north, destroy the long bridge, and make the bridge impassable?"

"Diao Min. ”

"It's not Jiangnan there, there is no family, where did Diao Min come from?"

Yuan Huang looked at the emperor with a calm face: "Kong Ping'an instigated." ”

The anger on the emperor's face completely disappeared.

As if he knew this son of his for the first time, he lowered his head and looked at Yuan Huang's face carefully, with a serious expression.

"Yuan Bai can't be the prince anyway, what are you trying to do?"

"Even if you become the emperor, you can only watch your son desperately want to kill your son, what do I want?"

The Emperor was really outraged.

He slapped Yuan Huang hard in the face.

The fourth prince was like a puppet, motionless, even if half of his face lost consciousness in an instant, he did not react.

"You ......"

The emperor pointed at Yuan Huang in a rage, unable to say a word.

There was silence in the hall, only the sound of blood dripping from Yuan Huang's side face to the ground, again and again, each time it would bring a long-lasting echo.

After a long time, the emperor seemed to have finally given up, he sat down on the throne, leaned down, put his arms on his knees, and said in a hoarse voice: "I just want to know, my son, what has been done behind my back." ”

"None of them carried you, don't you know what they did?"

The emperor was like a statue, did not say a word, remained motionless in that position, and slowly closed his eyes.

Yuan Huang looked at him and didn't say anything.

"You go back to Jiangnan," after a long, long time, the emperor finally spoke, "It is necessary to abandon farming for pasture and move the border and ban the sea, you can use this to sort out the family in Jiangnan, in short, stay away from your brothers." ”

Yuan Huang didn't say anything, nodded and stood up, turned around and walked out of the main hall.

He didn't know what the emperor behind him would think during the long days and nights, he didn't care.

From the very beginning, the emperor pushed Yuan Huang south after the princes rushed to Jiangnan, which pushed him into the whirlpool, and now, for whatever reason, it doesn't matter whether Yuan Huang can really be allowed to escape the wind and rain in Jiangnan in the end.

The controversy over the election of the most outstanding person, which was actually a contest to curry favor with the emperor, was over, and the only winner was the fourth prince, Yuan Huang.

He mounted another horse outside the imperial city gates and soon left the capital.

Outside the city, Yuan Huang met Mo Yi, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Did something happen?"

"I have something I want to ask you for. ”

"Dealing with Confucianism?" Yuan Huang sat on his horse, shook his head and smiled, "That's it." What I'm going to do is done, and that's enough. ”

"I have to beg you to help, if the current Confucianism wants to bring down the Mo family, I can't do anything. ”

"Then what can I do? The emperor wants me to go to Jiangnan immediately. ”

It was the most powerful place that Confucianism had, and no one would be stupid enough to trouble Confucianism in Jiangnan.

"I'm desperate. ”
