The atmosphere in the warm pavilion of the imperial study was very depressing, and Sun Kui and Sun Doudou, who were standing at the door, were both covered with cold sweat, and they didn't dare to breathe loudly, for fear that they would be punished if they breathed a little louder.

Ever since the deposed prince's family was killed, the emperor's mood has been in a state of anger. In the past few days, many ministers and eunuchs have been scolded, reprimanded, and severely punished by the emperor. Even the big celebrity Sun Kui was scolded.

The emperor sat on the kang with a gloomy face, and the dark guard stood tremblingly waiting for his orders.

Just as the back of the Dark Guard was soaked with cold sweat, the Emperor finally spoke: "You continue to stare. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Emperor's face had returned to normal, as if Fang Cai's gloomy and terrifying appearance was the illusion of the Dark Guard. His fingers lightly tapped on the table in front of him, and he said thoughtfully, "Let the people around Xiao Shi stare at He Lianfang." ”

Dark Guard's heart sank, and he said respectfully: "Yes, Emperor." ”

The Emperor waved his hand, and the Darkguard stepped back respectfully.

Seeing the dark guard armor pushed out, Sun Kui quickly wiped the cold sweat on his face, and then hurriedly walked in. As soon as he walked in, he saw the emperor angrily smashing the teacup.

Fragments of the teacup burst into the doorway and flew past Sun Kui's face, almost hurting his face. He turned pale with fright, and knelt down in fear: "The emperor forgives the sin." ”

With a bang, the emperor lifted the table in front of him again.

Sun Kui, who was kneeling at the door, shook his body fiercely in fright. He kowtowed, and said tremblingly: "The emperor is angry! The emperor is angry! The emperor is angry! ”

The emperor's face was furious, and he said in a cold tone: "I really underestimated He Lianfang!! ”

He Lianfang?!

What did General He do to make the emperor so angry?!

Sun Kui cursed He Lianfang frantically in his heart, he knew that He Lianfang was not a good thing, sure enough!

The Emperor was only angry for a moment, and soon regained his composure.

"Go and call He Xiang and Mrs. Liu."

"Yes, Your Majesty." When Sun Kui got up, he almost fell to the ground because his legs were weak. He staggered out of the Warm Pavilion, and immediately ran to Lanyuan Pavilion to find He Xiang and Taishi Liu.

When He Xiang and Taishi Liu saw that Sun Kui's face was not good, they knew that the emperor was in a bad mood. They probably guessed that it had something to do with the death of the deposed prince.

After a while, He Xiang and the others came to the warm pavilion of the imperial study. Although they saw that the emperor's face was as usual, they could tell that the emperor was angry.

When the emperor saw He Xiang and them coming, he did not speak.

Taishi Liu and the others stood quietly, patiently waiting for the emperor to speak.

The emperor raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, then raised his eyes to look at He Xiang and Taishi Liu: "Did I make a mistake by arranging He Lianfang next to Xiao Shi?" ”

Hearing the emperor's words, He Xiang and Liu Taishi glanced at each other, and then their expressions became very solemn.

He Xiang was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, was He Lianfang the murderer of the abolished prince's family?" ”

"He's killing with a knife." The emperor's eyes were gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I borrowed the hands of the Southern Wei people to kill the eldest family." ”

Taishi Liu said with a shocked face: "How dare he?!" ”

He Xiang gasped. His face was also shocked: "He Lianfang, did he eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dare to kill the family of the waste prince!" ”

"He didn't hide it, he knew that I could find out that the culprit was him!" The Emperor sneered, "He's threatening me with Xiao Shi!" ”

He Xiang's heart set off turbulent waves: Only He Lianfang dared to provoke the emperor in this world!

Taishi Liu looked at the emperor with a cold face, and mocked unceremoniously: "Your Majesty, you have gotten away!" ”

The emperor gave a knife to Taishi Liu, and then said angrily: "Is it time to joke about me?" ”

"The minister said at the beginning that letting He Lianfang follow His Royal Highness the King of Han is tantamount to raising a tiger." Taishi Liu is not afraid that the emperor is still angry, "The murder of the abolished prince's family, in the final analysis, is the emperor's fault." ”

Only Taishi Liu dared to say so bluntly that the emperor was not.

The emperor was stunned by Taishi Liu's words, and then he smiled bitterly: "You are right, it was I who killed the eldest family." "Even though the emperor had a lot of dissatisfaction with the previous deposed prince, the emperor never thought of killing his eldest son. Tiger poison does not eat children, no matter how ruthless he is, he will not kill his son.

He Xiang glanced at Taishi Liu and signaled him not to provoke the emperor anymore. The family of the abolished prince was killed, and the saddest thing in my heart was the emperor.

Taishi Liu received He Xiang's warning eyes and nodded slightly. He knows in his heart that he will no longer say that the emperor is not.

"Your Majesty, why did He Lianfang borrow the hands of the Southern Wei people to kill the abolished prince's family, what is his purpose, simply to provoke you, or is he taking revenge?" He Xiangke knew the grievances and hatreds between He Lianfang and the emperor. Over the years, He Lianfang has never forgotten to avenge Prince Yiyong.

"His purpose is very simple, one is to provoke me, and the other is to force Xiao Shi to join the heir." The emperor raised his hand and rubbed his temples that were a little painful, "His current motive is still to let Xiao Shi passively get involved in the seizure of the heir. ”

If He Lianfang simply provoked the emperor, He Xiang and Liu Taishi would not be worried, but He Lianfang's purpose was for His Royal Highness the King of Han to join the heir, which would give them a little headache.

"What does He Lianfang plan to do next, let the acting king and the king of Chu know that it was His Royal Highness the King of Han who sent someone to secretly kill the family of the abolished prince?" Taishi Liu furrowed his brows and said with a calm face.

After hearing Taishi Liu's words, the emperor sighed slightly and said, "It would be nice if it was so simple. ”

When He Xiang heard this, he raised his eyebrows in shock: "He Lianfang's purpose is more than this, does he want to force His Royal Highness the King of Han to rebel now?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Han has only been in Lingnan for a long time, so he shouldn't have the strength to rebel." Taishi Liu calmly analyzed, "With He Lianfang's scheming and methods, he will never let His Royal Highness the King of Han be exposed so early. ”

He Xiang felt that Taishi Liu's analysis made some sense, and he guessed according to Taishi Liu's words: "He Lianfang borrowed the hands of the Southern Wei people to kill the family of the abolished prince, not only to force His Royal Highness the King of Han to be involved in the seizure of the heir, but also to make several other His Highnesses fight more powerfully, right?" ”

The emperor did not speak.

Taishi Liu continued to analyze: "The King of Chu and the King of Wei have a close relationship with His Royal Highness the King of Han, and He Lianfang should want to use this relationship to make everyone think that the death of the abolished prince's family is inseparable from the King of Chu and the King of Wei. ”

"No, He Lianfang should have made the King of Chu and the King of Wei feel that His Royal Highness the King of Han was wronged, and the person who framed His Royal Highness the King of Han was the Acting King or the King of Jing. For the sake of the innocence and safety of His Royal Highness the King of Han, His Royal Highness the King of Chu and His Royal Highness the King of Wei will never let the King of Dai or King Jing pass by. ”

Taishi Liu felt that He Xiang was right to say this, and nodded in agreement: "It's not impossible. ”

"Actually, He Lianfang's ultimate goal is to bring back to life the four highnesses in the capital." He Xiang said coldly, "It's worthy of him, I'm afraid the world will not be chaotic." ”

"Your Majesty, you should tell His Royal Highness the King of Han about He Lianfang's true face." He Lianfang was too dangerous, let him continue to stay by His Royal Highness King Han's side, I don't know what else he would do.

"I have an agreement with him, what he does, I won't tell Xiao Shi. Also, he can't tell Xiao Shi what I did. The emperor just regretted letting He Lianfang follow Zhao Yao for a moment just now.

When Taishi Liu heard this, he let out a sneer: "The agreement is a fart, if you want to regret it, you can regret it." ”

The ridiculed emperor glared at Taishi Liu fiercely: "I can't go back on this agreement." If he repents, then his years of planning will be in vain. The most important thing is not to let Xiao Shi, that stinky boy, know his purpose. If Xiao Shi's stinky boy knew that he wanted him to be the emperor, with that stinky boy's temperament, he would definitely run away to a foreign country.

The little boy is now in the swamp province, close to the foreign countries such as Siam and Annam. Going to an overseas country is too simple for him. Besides, that kid originally had the idea of going overseas.

He Xiang and Liu Taishi knew the purpose of the emperor's agreement with He Lianfang.

"Your Majesty, then you let He Lianfang come so nonsense?" He Xiang felt that He Lianfang was too presumptuous, "If you let him go, then it may be the acting king or the king of Jing next, or the king of Chu and His Royal Highnesses the king of Wei will be killed." ”

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a coldness in his eyes.

"I can't go back, but that doesn't mean I can't do anything to him." The emperor felt that he was still underestimated by He Lianfang.

Hearing the emperor say this, He Xiang and Taishi Liu were relieved.

"Your Majesty, is His Royal Highness the King of Han really not reminding you?" He Xiang had heard the emperor say before that His Royal Highness the King of Han had a very close relationship with He Lianfang. His Royal Highness the King of Han will tell He Lianfang whatever he wants, and he will explain everything to He Lianfang, but he has nothing to say to the emperor, his father, and the emperor is still a lot of jealous because of this.

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "No. ”

He Xiang hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Han has a very close relationship with He Lianfang, are you sure not to remind His Royal Highness the King of Han?" ”

The thought that the youngest son's relationship with He Lianfang was closer than that of their father and son, the emperor was angry.

"If that stinky boy can't find out He Lianfang's methods, then I will have to reconsider whether he can inherit the Great Zhou Dynasty." arranged He Lianfang by Zhao Yao's side, on the one hand, he wanted He Lianfang to support and help him, and on the other hand, it was also to test whether he could beat He Lianfang. "He Lianfang is the last test I left him."

He Xiang and Taishi Liu understood what the emperor meant, but they couldn't help but worry in their hearts. He Lianfang not only has a deep city government and means, but also is very ruthless. And His Royal Highness the King of Han is just an adult, to put it mildly, His Royal Highness the King of Han is just a hairy boy who has not dried up, where can he fight the old fox who is cunning and cunning.

Taishi Liu said in a strange manner: "Your Majesty, the minister reminds you that you have already gotten away." If you continue to play off, you should know what the consequences will be. He said again, "Can you bear the final result, Your Majesty?" ”

The emperor picked up the fold and smashed it at Taishi Liu, and said angrily: "Old Liu, can't you say two good words?" (End of chapter)
