Chen Mu is just a host in another world, and he can't talk about feelings for this father.

The royal family is ruthless, and even the original owner has very little time to spend with this old emperor.

However, Chen Mu still desperately hoped that the old emperor would live for a year or two, and only in this way would he have enough time to fight with Liucheng.

Now that he is acting as the imperial power, he can pull the emperor's banner and kill him, but once the old emperor dies and the imperial power himself ends, he will have to weigh the pros and cons at that time.

While walking, Chen Mu asked the eunuch: "Father...... How is he doing now? ”

The eunuch suddenly nervous: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and you should be ......"

Chen Mu said unhappily: "This palace asks you what you say, then these words are perfunctory to this palace, this palace doesn't like it very much, you know?"

Feeling the murderous aura in the prince's words, the eunuch hurriedly shrunk his neck: "The slave should die!" Your Majesty is now better than before, and can be awake for two or three hours a day, but his daily diet is no more than a bowl of gruel, and he eats very little. ”

Chen Mu's face sank slightly: "This palace knows."

No more than a bowl of gruel a day...... The old emperor seems to be dying soon, so give the palace some more time.

Soon he entered the dormitory.

"Mu'er is here."

As early as the moment he entered the door, Chen Mu turned into a sad and painful face, looked at the thin old man lying on the bed, and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Erchen...... Meet my father, I just heard my father-in-law say that my father only drinks one bowl of gruel a day, and my father ...... Eat more anyway, so that your body can be better. ”

The old emperor smiled slightly: "My body is no longer something that can be raised by some food, I heard that you have recently slaughtered Yushitai and Hubu in the palace, and there is not a single living mouth."

Hearing this, Chen Mu thought that the old emperor had asked him to come to Xingshi to ask about the crime, and hurriedly explained: "Father, the son went to Kaifeng, and this group of bastards colluded with local officials to embezzle the people's life-saving money, and one million taels directly ate 900,000 taels."

"More than 100,000 local people died directly in this winter, and the retainers did not kill them, ashamed of those dead people!"

When he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

After a moment, the old emperor suddenly laughed, and his entire ribcage was constantly rising and falling due to excitement!

"Haha, it's good to kill, it's good to kill, I didn't manage the government well in my later years, so that this group of bastards formed a party for personal gain, and even Yushitai was with them, and keeping them would only hollow out my Chen family."

Hearing the old emperor's support, Chen Mu suddenly relieved his heart, after all, this old guy was in a coma in his old age, and he was really afraid that the traitorous ministers in the court would make a few slanderous words and suddenly withdraw the position of prisoner.

But soon, the old emperor's words changed sharply, revealing a hint of melancholy.

"But Mu'er, do you know that in this way, the officials will be overly frightened and do something that even the father and emperor can't resist."

"You...... Are you talking about forcing the palace? ”

The old emperor coughed a few times and nodded slightly: "You scared them, in one day, there were two hundred officials in the Imperial History Observatory of the Household Department, including two second-grade officials, who killed so many officials at one time, do you know that from ancient times to the present, only you, the prince, have done it?"

Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "I don't want to leave a name in history like this, but now that there is only your father and the emperor behind your son, you really can't imagine that there is any way to clean up this situation."

Even though he killed so many people, as far as Chen Mu himself was concerned, he still felt powerless, because there was really no substantial power behind him, in addition to the emperor, the other relied on the containment of Liucheng by the vassal kings of various places, and he did not dare to blatantly do it to himself.

"I think that when I listened to the rumors of the Liu family, I beat your mother into the cold palace in a fit of anger, he seemed to have expected that there would be this day, as early as a few years ago, she thought of a method for you."

Speaking of this, the old emperor showed a trace of remembrance and remorse on his face, and now in the chaotic situation, he can only blame himself for the mistake of his own thoughts.

"Mother...... Have you thought of a way for your son? ”

"yes, she'......"

But before Chen Mu finished speaking, a summons suddenly came from outside the door.

"The Four Princes have arrived!"

As soon as he heard this, Chen Mu's face suddenly changed, when would he not come, but at this time, it was obvious that the four princes had received the news and came to make trouble.

The old emperor said slowly: "I didn't expect you to come here, and you will be known by Liucheng so quickly, I'm afraid that the fourth brother is here to stir up the situation."

Without waiting for Chen Muduo to say, he saw Chen Wei running towards the hall with a handful of snot and tears.

"Father! Are you awake? During this time, the son has been praying for his father with his mother, God has eyes! ”

glanced at Chen Mu playfully, and then threw himself directly in front of the old emperor, crying bitterly.

After all, in the last secret meeting, the old emperor made himself the crown prince and supervised the country on behalf of his father, and Liu Cheng was obviously afraid that the old emperor would make another move for him, so as to let Chen Wei come over to stir up the situation.

Seeing this kid crying in front of the bed all the time, Chen Mu showed a trace of hideousness on his face, he really wanted to drag this kid out and slaughter him!

But who expected that at this moment, the old emperor coughed wildly.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Chen Wei, who climbed on the bed, looked at a loss: "Father...... Father, what's wrong with you? ”

The more the old emperor coughed, the louder he moved, and Chen Mu was also frightened when he was on the side, but soon, he understood what the old emperor meant!

"You bastard! My father's body is already weak, and when you suddenly came, did you want to murder your father when you made a fuss! ”

Chen Mu stepped forward and kicked Chen Wei to the ground with a direct kick!

"I ...... I didn't... I just..."

The old emperor coughed more and more, and even a trace of blood suddenly coughed in front of him, Chen Wei's face was stunned!

This old emperor won't really be scared by himself, right?

Looking at Chen Wei's stunned look, Chen Mu stepped forward and slapped him in the face again!

"Something that is not enough to succeed and more to lose, hurry up! If my father has some problems, this palace will have to cure you of the crime of rebellion! ”

As soon as Chen Mu said this, Chen Wei's face suddenly turned cold!

He really couldn't figure it out, but he cried a few times, and the old emperor became like this, could it be that the old emperor's condition was already so serious?

"Don't get out of here!"

"Well... Good! ”

Chen Wei's face was flustered, and he immediately got up and ran quickly outside, for fear of having anything to do with the old emperor in the house.

After leaving, the old emperor's coughing calmed down, and Chen Mu slowly came to him with a glass of water.

"Father is really witty."

The old emperor smiled: "Don't talk about it, it's useless, I can't say that someone will come again later."

"Before your mother was sentenced to the cold palace by me, she told me that if one day when you are at a loss, you can let the eldest prince go to Xiliang, and the king of Lingzhou will become the support of the Dragon Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Chen Mu was slightly stunned: "Isn't the king of Lingzhou the vassal king of Xiliang?" Now that the Dragon Dynasty is weak, do these guys still have the intention of being vassals? ”
