Chapter 437: Face to face
The wedding went smoothly without any surprises.
On the top of the main hall, the queen has always had a faint smile on her face, talking and laughing with the emperor.
It seems that he didn't pay attention to the fact that the crown prince was in charge of the country and his power was taken away at all.
Wang Yu was also drinking by himself.
chatted with Ji Ning from time to time, as if he didn't care at all.
This made many ministers, and some of the second monks were confused.
What's going on here?
"Yu'er!"
The Emperor suddenly looked at Wang Yu.
Wang Yu hurriedly put down the wine glass and saluted:
"What does Your Majesty command?"
"Your father, Xuanwei Hou, is invincible and invincible, and has made great achievements for my Shenwu Dynasty, opening up territory and expanding territory.
Cangyun County rebelled, you won more with less, made frequent tricks, and even established a new combat concept.
You have inherited your father's peerless talent.
Are you willing to follow your father's example and go to the border to defend one side for me? ”
As soon as Emperor Shenwu's words came out, none of the people present changed color.
Even Ji Ning's eyes flashed with horror.
Is the emperor trying to kick Wang Yu out of the Shenwu Imperial Capital?
This is both a bad thing and a good thing for Wang Yu.
The bad thing is that he left the power center of Shenwu, and the various relationships that have been operating in the imperial capital for a long time have nothing to do with it.
And the good thing is that now that the crown prince is in charge of the country, he has great power in his hands, and it is relatively easy to pinch Wang Yu to death.
At this time, Wang Yu stayed away from this whirlpool of power, and had a large number of Wang family troops to protect him at the border pass.
No one can hurt him.
"Your Majesty!"
Wang Yu bowed slightly and said sincerely:
"My parents are here, not far away, my mother has lost my father, if I leave her again, how will she live?
Your Majesty knows very well that he has no lofty ambitions or ideals.
I just want to be a salted fish in the imperial capital and wait for death.
I think bad people are very good, and the minister doesn't want to join the army. ”
Emperor Shenwu's face changed slightly.
Wang Yu was already contradicting him.
The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.
Besides, he didn't want Wang Yu to die, but just let him leave the imperial capital, and he would be given a big official after that.
Wang Yu refused directly.
It's true, and it's a bit out of sight of him.
He looked at Wang Yu's gaze, and gradually became fierce.
Wang Yu smiled and looked at him without the slightest timidity.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall became tense again.
For Emperor Shenwu, Wang Yu is not false at all now.
It's just a dying man, can he still kill himself in this court?
His father, who fought for half his life, made great achievements for the Shenwu Dynasty.
Now that he is missing, Emperor Shenwu wants his son to be on top, there is no such reason in this world.
Once Emperor Shenwu made a move on him because of this.
That will definitely be spurned by the people of the world.
Wang's army will also riot.
In addition, Wang Yu has condensed the circle of merit and has the support of Shenwu Academy, and even most of the scholars in the world.
Move him directly, it involves too much and too much.
Now that the crown prince is in power, Emperor Shenwu does not dare to mess around.
So Wang Yu was not afraid of him at all.
In another ten days and half a month, he will burp, and then he will be a hundred.
In addition, the contradiction between the prince and him is already difficult to reconcile.
To be offended or not to be offended, that's the same thing.
So Wang Yu is now fearless.
"Bold Wang Yu, dare to contradict Your Majesty? Why don't you get down on your knees quickly? ”
"Your Majesty, Wang Yu is arrogant and domineering, and the minister suggests that he be given the death penalty."
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
The minister of the prince's department jumped out.
All kinds of accusations against Wang Yu.
Emperor Shenwu's eyes also narrowed slightly.
"Your Majesty, Xuanwei Hou Mansion, just Yu'er, the only seedling, he has not yet married a wife and had children.
Moreover, he was injured by Qin Feng, seriously injured, and he couldn't stand the fatigue of the journey.
Now to guard the frontier, it is inappropriate, Xuanwei Hou has been fighting for half his life, and now his life and death are unknown, we should protect Yu'er well. ”
Just then, the queen spoke.
Her voice was soft, but firm and irrefutable.
On Emperor Shenwu's face, a smile suddenly appeared, and the frost on his face dissipated like ice and snow melting:
"I'll just say it casually, since Yu'er wants to stay in the imperial capital, let's work hard in the bad people.
Yu'er's ability to handle cases, I am also clear. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wang Yu bowed, and then continued to drink and eat, as if nothing happened.
On Ji Ning's forehead on the side, a layer of fine beads of sweat was already oozing.
She knew that Wang Yu was bold, but she didn't expect that he would be so bold.
dared to confront her father head-on.
This.
"Sister Ning'er, are you hot? Cher rubs it for you! ”
Ah Xue took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on her forehead very obediently.
"Alright, I'll do it myself."
Ji Ning touched Ah Xue's head dotingly.
For Ah Xue, she likes it from the bottom of her heart, and of course, no one will dislike this little Mengbao.
In the depths of the palace, the retreat chamber.
This is the place where Emperor Shenwu retreats and heals.
When it was all over, he returned to the place, a look of fatigue on his face.
He made a lot of preparations to get out today.
even did not hesitate to use the secret method of two injuries to forcibly keep himself in peak condition.
He had prepared for the worst.
If the queen does not agree to the crown prince's imprisonment, he will fight with him.
Unexpectedly, the queen didn't even think about it, and directly agreed.
This made him feel the feeling of the prince before, he was empty.
"Queen, Queen! I'm still underestimating you. ”
Emperor Shenwu showed a wry smile on his face.
"Father!"
The door to the chamber was opened.
The crown prince, dressed in a python robe, walked in and saluted respectfully to Emperor Shenwu.
"Hmm!"
Emperor Shenwu nodded and said lightly:
"I'm running out of time, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you from growing up."
"Don't say that, father, you will definitely live a thousand years."
The prince stepped forward, looking a little excited:
"The child will surely travel all over the world for you, find a panacea, and you will be fine."
Emperor Shenwu waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "I know my own body, I know it myself, and you don't need to say anything more."
The only thing I can't let go of is you, it was I who gave it to you with my own hands, leaving a big disaster! ”
Emperor Shenwu looked at the crown prince in front of him, and he blamed himself very much in his heart.
"Father, the child has grown up, the child can face everything, and the child will never let you down."
The prince was full of confidence.
Although he was a prince before, he didn't have much power in his hands.
However, this is different now, he is officially in charge of the country.
He can do a lot of things.
Empress?
The prince believes that it won't be long before he can make her surrender under his crotch, no, it's his feet.
"Hmmm! It's good if you have faith. ”
The Emperor nodded, a smile of relief appeared on his face, and sat down with the help of the crown prince.
He let out a long sigh and said:
"I wanted to get Yu'er out of the imperial capital, but unfortunately I didn't succeed, his father made immortal contributions for the Shenwu Dynasty.
He is also a confidant, and he should have been on our side.
It's a pity that he has been hiding clumsily before, and I didn't care much about him, but it was the queen who always protected him, and we pushed him to the queen's side. ”
"It's just a Wang Yu, don't be afraid, now that the child is in prison, it can't be easier to pinch him to death."
A cold glint flashed in the prince's eyes.
The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.
Now he is in charge of the country, and he has supreme power in his hands.
Find a few random people, fabricate some charges, and put them on Wang Yu's head, and when the time comes, he will make a holy decree to kill Wang Yu, which can't be simpler.
"Alas"
Emperor Shenwu sighed again:
"After all, Yu'er is the only seedling of Xuanwei Hou's Mansion, try to spare his life, in addition, Xuanwei Hou's reputation is too high and too high.
If you go too far, it may cause turmoil in the dynasty.
Behind him, there is also the queen. ”
"The child listens to his father, and if he can, I will spare his life."
The prince nodded in agreement.
However, will he save Wang Yu's life?
Apparently not.
Wang Yu's strength does not lie in his strength.
It's his mind.
Even if his cultivation was abolished, it would not be of much use.
Only by killing it can we prevent future troubles.
For this, Emperor Shenwu was also clear in his heart.
He's just mentioning it.
It can be regarded as doing his best for Xuanweihou.
If we meet again under Jiuquan in the future, we will be able to get by on face.
"I'm running out of time."
Emperor Shenwu looked at the crown prince and said in a deep voice:
"After that, I will use a secret method to put myself into a state of suspended animation.
Extend my life as long as possible, this is the last hole card I have left for you.
At the critical moment, you wake me up, and I will bloom with the last glory. ”
"Father!"
The crown prince grabbed Emperor Shenwu's hand, and his eyes were already red.
He knew the secret method used by Emperor Shenwu.
Condense all your strength in your chest to keep the fire in your heart.
The body enters a state of death.
After using this trick, people are basically dead, and all life is cut off.
Even if the elixir is taken, it can't be cured.
Once he wakes up from his slumber, he will be like a firework, blooming with the last brilliance, and then disappearing from this world completely.
"Don't cry, you are the emperor of my Shenwu Dynasty! Remember, you can't cry from today onwards. ”
Emperor Shenwu's face became extremely serious, looking at his son, two golden rays shot out of his eyes:
"Emperor! I don't care if you will be a Ming Emperor in the future, but you must always remember that no matter at any time, you must not fall into my royal majesty. ”
"The child obeys the teachings of his father."
The prince bowed.
The carriage slowly drove away from the palace.
Wang Yu seemed to have drunk too much, lying drunk on Shui Yuxiu's lap, humming in his mouth.
Today, he seems to be not only sad, but also very happy.
"Brother Yu, Sister Ning'er asked me to tell you, if you want to turn the war with that prince into a jade silk, she can match the bridge.
As long as you do things for the prince wholeheartedly in the future, she guarantees that you will not be worse than staying with the queen. ”
Ah Xue sat aside and spoke.
"Oh?"
When Shui Yuxiu heard this, her eyes couldn't help but light up.
That's a good thing!
Today, unlike in the past, the crown prince is in charge of the country and has great power.
Even if there is a check and balance of the queen, it is still very simple for him to deal with Wang Yu.
If Wang Yu turned his head to the prince's door, it seemed that he would be able to avoid this risk.
And supporting the current crown prince is much simpler than supporting the queen.
If he is willing to abandon his previous suspicions, Shui Yuxiu feels that there is no problem with Wang Yu's defection.
"Why am I not going, prince? Hehe! As far as he is concerned, he is not worthy of being the human emperor of my Shenwu Dynasty, and the final winner will only be Niangniang. ”
Wang Yu sneered at the prince and was very disdainful.
Ah Xue shrugged her shoulders, it didn't matter, she was a messenger anyway.
And she doesn't know much about these things.
However, Shui Yuxiu frowned, not understanding what Wang Yu meant by his words, let alone where Wang Yu got such great confidence.
Now the crown prince is in charge of the country, and the queen has retreated into the background.
This is a boiled frog in warm water, and sooner or later the queen will be consumed.
Why is Wang Yu so adamant that the queen can win?
"Hiccup~~"
Wang Yu burped and muttered:
"The crown prince is in charge of the country, the queen is hanging the curtain, I have already guessed this kind of thing, and the mother should have guessed it too."
"Huh? So why don't you prepare in advance and deal with it? ”
Shui Yuxiu's mouth opened wide, with a look of surprise.
"Coping? Why should we deal with it? ”
Wang Yu raised his eyebrows, glanced at her, and said lightly:
"That's what we expected."
"Expectations?"
Shui Yuxiu tilted her head, looking confused.
She was beaten by Wang Yu, and the more she talked, the more confused she became.
Anyone would expect to give up their power?
This is not the ancient world of Wang Yu.
The division of power means that the royal road dragon qi is divided.
"The crown prince seems to be very shrewd and excellent, but he is not the material for governing the country."
Wang Yu turned over, buried his head in Shui Yuxiu's stomach, and muttered:
"Being an emperor is not so simple, otherwise His Majesty would not hand over state affairs to Niangniang to deal with.
His Majesty let the crown prince supervise the country, which seems to be helping him seize power, but in fact he is harming him.
His problems will soon be exposed.
His Majesty's time is too little, he can only bet on this, but unfortunately, his winning chance is too small and too small. ”
As he spoke, Wang Yu was silent.
Confused, he fell into a deep sleep.
left Shui Yuxiu and thought about life there.
Yes, Wang Yu is right, the crown prince is not the material to be the emperor, Emperor Shenwu actually knows it in his heart.
That's why in the secret room, he would say something like that, he could not be a Ming Jun, but he must not fall into the majesty of the royal family.
It's just that he can't help it.
He no longer had time to wait for the prince to grow slowly.
He can only catch the ducks on the shelves and gamble.
