Obviously, on the first day of the empire of nine hundred and sixty-six years, it seems that he was not a happy rì.

As in Madame Liszt's distress and heaviness, there was the one in the palace.

After the banquet dispersed, Prince Chen did not go back to sleep. Instead, he got used to it, and returned to his study, locking himself up alone.

"You say, am I going to press Charlie too hard?"

Prince Chen looked at himself in the mirror, his face was pale, and after removing the majesty of the king and the smile of etiquette, at the moment, in the mirror, it was just a sick and weak man.

However, he was not asking himself what he was asking.

"Your Highness, you have thought too much. ”

In the corner, a court magician in a red robe revealed little by little.

The voice was old, even with a faint smell of decay.

"Actually, since last year's Qingfeng Festival, I have been shaken. The real ruler of the empire, looking at himself in the mirror, his tone was bitter: "Although at that time, everyone thought that Charlie had won a lot of face for our royal family...... Hmph, it has not happened for a long time to make the people of the church lose face in public, and to make His Majesty the Pope apologize to us in public...... What's even more a pity is that he has won such a big face for the royal family, and instead of blaming him, I have to praise him...... Just because, I'm a father! I can't discourage my child, I can't beat his enterprising spirit. Meritorious work is not rewarded, but it will stimulate his youthful rebellious mind.

So, for this long time, I have been suppressing him, after he was crowned. I still locked him up in the palace, and I didn't let him get in touch with any government affairs, I didn't give him even the slightest thing to do, I didn't give him the slightest opportunity to practice, even the court teacher who was responsible for teaching him. You are not allowed to say to him even a single thing about the affairs of the empire!

Some time ago, his court teacher gave me advice, asking me if I could explain some simple things for Charlie to do, which could be regarded as some experience for him, but I rejected them and only allowed him to teach him to study history......

I just want to press him, press him, and persecute him. Let him learn to be patient!! I can smooth out the too sharp edges and corners on his body, and the thorns that are too sharp. It's smooth!"

Prince Chen stretched out a hand and gently held the corner of the table beside him, he seemed to smile: "You say, am I a very failed father? Actually, I know...... Charlie, he's been growing a little dissatisfied with me lately. Oh, my good son, my good son, a good son who is only twelve years old!"

This sentence "good son", in just a few words, is full of complex flavors. I'm afraid that only Prince Chen himself can taste it.

The red-robed figure in the corner seemed to be a little surprised: "Your Highness, you ...... Aren't you worried about the assassination of Duke Tulip tonight? Compared with Prince Charlie's thoughts, I think the assassination of Du Wei tonight is more important. ”

The bitterness on Prince Chen's face gradually faded. He smiled lightly: "This matter...... I'm not worried. When I first found out tonight, I was still a little angry. Hmph, I didn't do that, you should know that. In my palace, though. Someone did such a thing under my nose. I'm a little shocked!"

The red-robed man's tone was a little cold: "Your Highness, what do you mean...... Cleaning?"

Cleaning!

When these two words are spoken. It seems to have an indescribable chill!

Prince Chen frowned and thought about it, but shook his head: "There's no need to make a big move, I have some eyebrows in my heart." It's just that this thing is ...... I'm worried about something else......"

He turned around and looked at the corner of the wall hiding in the shadow of yīn: "You say, will Du Wei know about my body......?"

After he said this, he paused, and then shook his head: "This is what worries me the most." If he knew, then with this assassination, I'm afraid I'll remind him!"

"Remind him of what?"

"Remind him that I have a motive to kill him. Prince Chen seemed to smile, and his smile was unfathomable: "It stands to reason that if I am really dying, I should indeed kill Du Wei as soon as possible." Just because, I understand, if I suddenly die of illness, if there is a powerful minister like Du Wei in the empire, my son will definitely not be able to control him - once Du Wei understands this, then the time has come for the two of us to separate!"

The red shadow in the corner of the wall was silent for a while, but suddenly spoke in a strange tone.

"Your Highness, after Du Wei's assassination tonight, I carefully examined the side hall, the assassin's corpse, the ground weapons, and the torn robe that Du Wei had changed. ”

The red-robed man always stood in the shadow of yīn, and his voice was hoarse, like a night owl:

"The weapon used by the Assassins was a dagger, made of jīng steel, smeared with a highly toxic drug, extracted from a magical plant called swallowtail grass that grows in frozen forests. Although this swallowtail grows in the north, it is hot and dry. And it's the favorite food of the Ghost-Faced Spider, a magical beast. Although swallowtail grass is rare in the market, it is not difficult to buy. This kind of poison, if it breaks through the skin and enters the flesh and blood, the poison is so strong, I am afraid that even a powerful magician, if he does not carry a special medicine with him, he will not be able to escape death!"

When Emperor Chen heard this, he frowned and said, "What do you want to say?"

"Du Wei's clothes. The red-robed man said in a low voice: "The clothes he changed on, the chest part has been torn, the assassin is obviously a high-level warrior with a fighting spirit, a high-level warrior's full stab, the fighting spirit attached to the dagger, the aftermath can tear the clothes on his chest, then, under such a powerful force, even if we all know that Duke Tulip himself has a strong martial arts cultivation - this can be seen from the fact that he can kill an eighth-level holy knight in the ring." But even if he has a strong martial arts cultivation, even if he has a strong fighting spirit to protect his body. But since the dagger could tear through his clothes, it was evident that it had penetrated his fighting spirit—or rather. Duke Tulip, at the time of the assassination, did not have a fighting spirit to protect his body at all......"

"What do you mean......"

"I mean it very simply, Your Highness...... Du Wei, he is not dead. The red-robed shadow's voice carried a hint of weirdness: "That situation." Du Wei was unable to block the dagger with his fighting spirit, and second, he was paralyzed, even if he used to have strong martial arts, but after being paralyzed, he was unable to keep the assassin far away. Three, he is a magician, even after being paralyzed, the magic is not lost. But a magician, once forced to a close distance by a powerful martial artist, is also a dead end. To sum up these three points. I have calculated many times myself, in that case, Du Wei must have been stabbed with a dagger! He was indeed stabbed, as can be seen from his torn clothes. But ......"

The voice of the red-robed shadow was finally a little surprised: "However, he was stabbed by a dagger smeared with a highly poisonous and hopeless poison, but he did not die!, unless this tulip duke had already predicted that he would be assassinated, and the poison used by the assassin was swallowtail grass, and he had a special antidote for swallowtail grass on his body...... But this is obviously absolutely impossible. So...... My question is, why didn't Du Wei die. It doesn't even seem to be anything at all. Unless he ......"

"Unless what?"

"Unless he is not sick, he is pretending to be the ground, his strong strength is not the slightest damage. Or maybe the other one...... Duke Tulip's strength has far exceeded the normal range that we can expect...... He. Is it the strong one above the Holy Order, or is it even stronger!"

Prince Chen frowned, as if he had thought deeply for a moment......

"Don't think about it. Prince Chen waved his hand and glanced at the red shadow in the corner: "You don't have to think about how to deal with Du Wei for the time being." Because...... I don't want to be his enemy yet. In any case, in the first place in the coup d'état. The situation on the countertop. I was bound to lose, and at that time. But he was determined to stand by my side with a mortal death, just this old love...... I can't bear it!"

The red shadow in the corner of the wall said in a flat tone: "I understand that His Highness is a person who cares about old feelings. I'm just a loyal chess piece under your command. I just wanted to remind you...... Your physical condition. You just admitted it yourself, in this case, you should think carefully about how to deal with this powerful minister of the empire......! Before he could finish speaking, this person was in the corner of the wall and bent down to Prince Chen: "I know this is very harsh, but please consider it carefully." You...... You can't leave His Majesty Charles with a mess that is hard to clean up. Whether as a father or as the ruler of an empire, it is necessary for you to leave a good legacy to future generations. ”

After a pause, the man continued: "I know that in the eyes of Duke Tulip, he does not look like a rebel and disloyal person. It's just that, Your Highness, you yourself have said that the world's major events cannot only be pinned on people's hearts. Because, the human heart is the most fickle......! is gone, and Duke Tulip's heart suddenly changes, at that time, what should I do?"

Prince Chen sat down silently......

After a long time, he sighed: "I'm tired, you go." ”

Looking at the empty study, Prince Chen leaned back in his chair and whispered to himself: "People's hearts are unreliable...... Always take matters into your own hands......"

Early in the morning, Madame Liszt was at home, angrily throwing an expensive crystal teacup on the floor.

With a ding, the crystal cup turned into countless fragments.

This noble and beautiful lady had a furious face, and her eyes were full of anger and worry.

In front of her, on the table, a letter was hurriedly delivered by the servant. A blank piece of paper, with only a few words on it, seemed to be in a hurry.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I'm not married!"

And just after Mrs. Liszt was furious, she quickly sent several teams of family guard knights to search around......

At the same time, just outside the north gate of dìdū, a slender figure riding a white horse, wrapped in a long leather robe, looked back at dìdū, and sighed in a low voice: "Sister, I'm sorry." ”

After speaking, he kicked the horse's belly, and the horse's hooves flew and went away.

The Liszt family had flipped over and over for Miss Muse's departure, and the news had not yet reached Dewey's house.

And Du Wei never slept that night.

Just before dawn, he called the guard elder Yan and explained a few things to him.

"This is the first thing, you immediately go back to the northwest in person, and tell Mr. Philip that from now on, all military orders of the family army must come from the Duke's Palace, ......and other orders can be disobeyed! As a last resort, I will allow them to use all force to resist!I authorize him to use the secret reserves in the city of Gilliat if necessary!!"

"The second thing, you tell Ruolin, order her to get up immediately, remove her current military position, and immediately go south to take reins of the family's naval fleet...... In any case, I don't care whether she is forced or soft, within a month, I want her to go to the Luolin Plain, and be responsible for taking my mother out of the sea and sending her to the South Seas!"

"The third thing, this is my gold badge, you send it to the northwest, give it to Uncle Alpha, tell him, things on the steppe...... Don't be too quiet lately, give me some movement!"

"The fourth thing ......" Du Wei's tone was extremely serious when he said this: "Tell Rodriguez that the Decepticon Air Knights, before you order them to be sent to the dangrì, all of them will be opened, and I will give them three days! No one shall be alarmed, no news shall be revealed, and all of them shall be assembled in the courtyard behind Brokeback Mountain! Let Rodriguez personally lead the team, if outsiders dare to spy on their whereabouts...... It doesn't matter who you are...... Shoot and kill!"

These orders were said one by one, which made Lao Yan's face suddenly solemn, and he glanced at the duke deeply: "Your Excellency, ......"

"I know what you're thinking. Du Wei smiled faintly: "I don't want to rebel, just take precautions." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the sky outside, stretched, and his tone became a little erratic.

"In this world, the most unreliable thing is the human heart! Your own destiny must be in your own hands to rest assured, and you can't always rely on the benevolence of others. "On the first day of the year, on the streets of dìdū, everything seems to be still the bleak of winter.

And under this cold calm, this underground whirlpool has become more and more intense.

No matter who assassinated Du Wei was, although the assassination failed, this matter finally cut a knife in the intimate and harmonious relationship between Du Wei and Prince Chen, leaving a faint crack.

When Du Wei suddenly came to his senses and realized the relationship between the two parties, it seemed that he could only hope for the longevity of Prince Chen......

At this time, you have to endure it if you can't bear it! If you don't want to, you have to think about it!

If you don't do it, you have to do it!

Just because, in this world, the most unreliable thing is the people's hearts! There is no official announcement, everything happens quietly.

And the two most powerful young men in the empire, two geniuses, two monarchs, comrades-in-arms, and allies who were once closely trusted......

Centrifugation!
