The emperor had just finished ordering the secret guard at this time, and when he heard the eunuch report that Murong Li was coming to see him, he was stunned for a moment, the fourth child still came to see him at this time, there must be something urgent, he hurriedly said: "Let the fourth child come in." ”

The eunuch immediately went to spread the word, and Murong Li immediately entered the Taiqian Palace, knelt down and saluted the emperor: "Father, the son and son are still coming to disturb so late, there is something important to report." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "If there is something important, get up and talk about it quickly." ”

Murong Li immediately told the emperor about the Ma Gang Master's people coming out of Fangfei Palace.

The emperor glanced at him: "How do you know these things?" ”

Murong Li said truthfully: "Father, the son can control the people of the Ma gang master, naturally he has his own people, but the father can rest assured, the son has no dissent. ”

Murong Li didn't care what the emperor would think now, what he thought, they weren't afraid, so he told the truth, he had someone in the palace, and he wasn't afraid that the emperor would suspect him of usurping the throne, today is different from the past, he wants the position of emperor now, it is easy for them to take it at any time.

When the emperor heard this, he squinted at Murong Li, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he suddenly felt that he was a clown jumping beam in front of this son, and he was so guarded against things, in the eyes of this son, he could be caught at hand, and he could kill him at any time.

He said faintly: "Fourth, you have this strength, why don't you replace me?" ”

The emperor was interested, and wanted to know what this son was thinking.

Their father and son had a heart-to-heart relationship tonight, he asked Murong Li to sit down, and let the eunuch serve good tea, and the father and son sat face to face.

The Emperor stared at Murong Li, waiting for his answer.

This son has inadvertently grown to such a powerful point, and he is also noble and extraordinary, stronger than him as an emperor, and after watching him for a long time, there is a sense of oppression that presses on him.

There was a natural kingly aura in him, which he didn't have when he was young.

Murong Li said: "Does my father want to hear the truth?" ”

The emperor nodded: "Well, it can be regarded as a heart-to-heart exchange between our father and son, no matter what you say, I will not blame you." ”

"Well, it's the first time we've had a face-to-face conversation in a long time."

Murong Li nodded, paused and said, "Does my father want his sons to replace him?" ”

The emperor did not speak.

Murong Li sighed: "In fact, the most important thing in the eyes of my father and emperor may not be in the eyes of my son, everything my son is doing now is just that I don't want the Murong family's country to fall into the hands of outsiders, and I don't want to see the people of Xifeng Kingdom living in dire straits, now our royal family has no better successor, otherwise Erchen doesn't want to come back at all." ”

He was telling the truth, if the Murong clan had a prince who combined power and wisdom, he would not come back, so he would stay in the Northwest County and live a free life with Yue'er, not wanting to get involved in the struggle for imperial power at all.

The emperor was deeply shocked by Murong Li's words, he never knew that the throne was so insignificant in the eyes of this son.

In his eyes, it was the Murong clan and the people of Xifeng Kingdom.

He didn't know that Murong Li had such an idea, it was a scene he saw in the Northwest County, if the emperor did something, how could the people of the Northwest County be left unattended, they were uprooted, displaced, and starved all over the wilderness.

For the sake of this throne, the princes are fighting for their heads, if they are all like the fourth child, how can the royal family be the current situation.

In his father's generation, there were also more than a dozen princes, and in the end there were only two or three left, and in his generation, there were not many left, and now there are two left, both of them are still in the fiefdom, and they can't return to Beijing without recall, and they didn't even let them go back to this year's reunion banquet.

And his own sons, at the beginning, there were almost ten sons, and now there are only two in front of him, one is in the Zongren Mansion, and one is resurrected, and now he doesn't know the trace.

It is for this supreme throne that there is no father-son affection in the royal family, no brotherhood, except for calculation or calculation, except for killing or killing.

That is to say, the people of the royal family only have the throne in their eyes, there is no Li people, once a natural disaster or man-made disaster occurs, it will cause a situation like the Northwest County, the officials are all in danger, and the people are left unattended, resulting in displacement.

In fact, he knows all this, but his focus is only on the throne, for fear that someone will move his position.

The emperor sighed deeply, his cognition is not as good as his son, and he can only be peaceful when the world is peaceful.

The emperor couldn't help but think deeply, if the royal family still acted as always, what if there were no outsiders, the royal family would one day, and it would definitely swallow up the lineage.

The lineage has been killing each other like this from generation to generation, and over the years, the development of the collateral line has far exceeded that of the descendant.

This is a problem that must be taken seriously.

The emperor smiled bitterly and said: "My father is ashamed, he is too old to live as well as his son, and his father is confused." ”

Murong Li couldn't imagine that the emperor didn't get angry and blamed himself, which was really unexpected.

He smiled and said, "Father doesn't have to blame himself, you also have your position, fortunately, everything is still in time." ”

Emperor: "Yes, it's still too late, it's late at night, go back, I will deal with what you said." ”

"Okay, then the father and the emperor will rest early, and the sons will retire."

Murong Li got up and saluted the emperor and left the Taiqian Palace.

As soon as Murong left, the emperor's face immediately darkened, and he beckoned to Xiao Lizi's father-in-law: "Come with me to Fangfei Palace." ”

"Yes, the minions obey."

Xiao Lizi immediately brought the palace lamp to light the way for the emperor, and did not even bring the personal guards, and the two headed towards Fangfei Palace.

In Fangfei Palace, Xiao Meiren has been restless in the palace after knowing that the Ma Gang Master failed, and she really wants to escape from the palace from the tunnel, but if she escapes, isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here.

Now she didn't know if the emperor knew about her and the horse gang leader, and no one had seen the matter between her and the horse gang leader, she thought that the emperor should not find out about her, so she decided to take a gamble.

And even if she escapes, it will affect her family.

In the dead of night, Xiao Meiren lay on the bed alone, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

Suddenly hearing that the palace maid came to report that the emperor was coming, she was shocked, why did the emperor come so late, could it be that the matter was exposed?

She immediately got up and asked the palace maid, "Is the emperor coming alone?" ”

The palace maid said: "Back to the little master, the emperor came alone." ”
