The inner courtyard of the palace, in the imperial study.

The emperor looked at his third son, his expression seemed to be smiling: "I have canceled today's morning court in accordance with your wishes, but I don't understand, I gave you such a chance to make a wish, why do you want me not to go to court today and accompany you in the imperial study?"

"It's just that I haven't seen my father for too long as a son, and I just want my father to give him more time to talk. Xufeng Chenhui said with a smile.

The emperor shook his head, not fully convinced: "It must not be the case, since the early dynasty has not yet been established, and I and you are here, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Xufeng Chenhui licked his lower lip and said, "The battle at the border pass-"

"Stop, since it's a heart-to-heart talk, then our father and son won't talk about state affairs. ”

The Emperor directly interrupted Xufeng Chenhui's words and looked him in the eyes meaningfully.

"Since my father said so, the ministers will talk about family affairs," Xufeng Chenhui said unhurriedly, "The eldest brother has been educated by the way of kings since he was a child, but how he behaves now, the people of the world have already decided. ”

Saying that, Xufeng Chenhui raised his eyes and looked at his father, the emperor didn't mean to interrupt him this time, so he continued: "Whether the eldest brother has the spirit of a dragon's head, the sons don't know, but he has no bones of a general. ”

"You haven't seen your eldest brother for many years, where do you start with this judgment?" The emperor also wanted to know what Xufeng Chenhui thought, and although he understood the true meaning of his words, he no longer decided to talk about it.

This can be seen from what he has done on the rivers and lakes. ”

"Oh?"

Xufeng Chenhui put away his smile and said eloquently: "Recently, my father also saw it with his own eyes, Zhuo Feng acted arbitrarily and recklessly, and used his concubine to blackmail Qu Boyin, the son of Qu Justice of Chang Lingle Mansion, but when the matter was revealed, it was a fire that burned the entire "Woyun Stack"——"

When the emperor heard Xufeng Chenhui say this, he didn't cover up for Xufeng Zhuofeng, but squinted his eyes and asked curiously, "How did you know about this?"

"Because Qu Boyin is alive and was rescued by Chen Yin, he recuperated from his injuries in Dinghua Mountain," Xufeng Chenhui said, "Not long ago, he left Dinghua Mountain and came to the capital, if he returns to Yuefu and spreads the news all over Beijing, will the people believe in such a 'great general'?"

The flesh on the emperor's face twitched a little, but he still pretended not to be shocked and said, "Did Qu Boyin tell you?"

"It doesn't matter if it's right or no, the lesson that the sons have heard since childhood is that the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, a general who plots to kill his own courtiers and burn the people, how can the soldiers believe him-"

"That's enough!" the Emperor was visibly angry, and he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said, "It seems that you have not wasted your time outside the palace all these years. I know what the position of general you are asking for, but what I hope is that you brothers support each other, not you fight for me, which king has not been deficient throughout the ages, it is this way that I will seek the assistance of talented people, I know that you are the most talented of my three children, so I hope you can assist Zhuo Feng, if the two of you change positions, what kind of school Zhuo Feng is, I and you both know, what will happen in the end, I don't want to see. ”

Xufeng Chenhui didn't expect his father to be so straight to the point and poke out his ultimate goal.

He calmed himself down, trying not to appear so surprised.

Without pause, the Emperor continued, "Si Jia's actions have already made me feel so cold, and I hope you don't do so. ”

Xufeng Chenhui sighed and looked at the emperor.

**

Yan Ying was locked up in the place he was most familiar with, and the prison of the Guards Division had probably never been locked up with such a special person.

Although it was his own boss, it was the emperor's order, so these guards did not dare to slack off.

"Lord Yan," one of the guards said to Yan Ying tremblingly through the door, "Lord Fang Fan is here. ”

Yan Ying sat cross-legged on the ground, did not speak, just closed his eyes and nodded.

The guards bowed their heads and retreated, and Fang Fan slowly walked up, clasping his fists and saying, "Lord Yan." ”

"Why did you come at this time," Yan Ying raised his eyes slightly and looked at the square fan outside the wooden fence, "Did the emperor say anything this morning?"

"The emperor has no early dynasty today. Fang Fan replied coldly.

Yan Ying noticed the abnormality of Fang Fan's attitude, and after thinking for a while, he said tentatively: "Why didn't you go to the morning court?"

Fang Fan shook his head and replied briefly, "I don't know." ”

"En-" Yan Ying was already able to confirm that something was wrong with Fang Fan, but he didn't say anything about it, "Maybe it's related to Xufeng Chenhui, you go and check Xufeng Chenhui's movements today." ”

What Yan Ying didn't expect was that Fang Fan didn't hesitate at all, and immediately responded.

"Then the subordinate will go. Fang Fan didn't make eye contact with Yan Ying from beginning to end, and as soon as he received Yan Ying's order, he immediately turned around and left.

Yan Ying squinted at Fang Fan's back, he really didn't understand why Fang Fan was like this, and he didn't know why Fang Fan was here.

After a while, he called the guards in the cell: "Go and call Lu Wu to me." ”
