When Sikong Yu heard Jun Lingyun ask this, he smiled with relief. Jun Lingyun is different from his father, who only has imperial power in his eyes.

"I just sent someone to lead them to the back mountain and turn around a few more times."

Jun Lingyun confirmed what he thought in his heart and relaxed most of it.

"Sikong senior. I still have two questions in my heart, and I don't vomit or be unhappy. I hope that the seniors can tell the truth! ”

Seeing Sikong Yu nodding, Jun Lingyun asked:

"First question, you and my mother?"

He only asked half of what he said, and I believe that Sikong Yu can understand it.

Sikong Yu didn't want to mention it in front of Jun Lingyun, but since the emperor mentioned it before and let Jun Lingyun listen to it, if he hid it again, it would arouse suspicion, so it would be better to admit it generously.

"We, before your father, are affectionate and courteous."

It's just that he didn't tell Jun Lingyun what Chu Yunxi had said to him.

If Jun Lingyun knew that half of his mother's death was for him, how painful and self-reproaching he should be. There is no need to let the juniors bear the grievances of the elders.

Jun Lingyun also understood that Sikong Yu and his mother were originally in love, and it was his father who snatched love.

He took a steady breath and asked a second question.

"The second question, my father's throne!"

Sikong Yu knew what he wanted to ask. handed over the things that the Sikong family had been guarding to Jun Lingyun's hands.

"The answer you want, it's in it."

Jun Lingyun stretched out his hand to take it, and with a nervous heart, he slowly opened it, and his eyes widened a little.

"The Emperor's Secret Edict?"

Sikong Yu nodded and motioned for Jun Lingyun to finish reading.

"The throne is inhabited by those who are capable, not by anyone. The eldest prince is motivated, but he is too strong, and he may not tolerate his brothers. The second prince has a free and easy temperament, but he lacks decisiveness. ”

"Although I pass on the throne to the second prince, if the eldest prince fights for it, as long as he works hard and tolerates his brothers, I hope that the princes can also tolerate him, and don't treat him as a traitor. Monarchs and ministers are united in their hearts for the benefit of the people. ”

Jun Lingyun was deeply shocked by the content of this secret edict. Not only was I shocked that the throne of my father was really snatched from my uncle! I was even more shocked that my grandfather had such a foresight!

When Sikong Yu saw that he had finished reading it, he said slowly:

"You see, if your father can uphold the righteousness and serve the country and the people, and he sits on the throne, the emperor will also approve it. But in order to regain power, exclude dissidents, kill innocent courtiers, and tolerate adultery, he is not worthy of being the emperor. ”

For the first time, Jun Lingyun felt ashamed of his position as the prince, so he listened to Sikong Yu's voice.

But the first emperor also said that the throne is inhabited by those who are capable, not by anyone. What your father didn't do, you can do. As long as you work hard and serve the people wholeheartedly, you will be worthy of this throne. ”

Looking at Sikong Yu, who was wiped out by his father and exiled for twenty years, but still comforted him in turn, Jun Lingyun didn't know whether he was more moved or more sorry.

Hold the fists:

"Listen to your words, it is better to read for ten years, the seniors are commonplace, and the younger generations are taught!"

Sikong Yu looked at the humble Jun Lingyun and felt that his choice was not wrong.

He sent the two edicts and the heavy jade seal to Jun Lingyun with both hands.

"Your Highness, please succeed to the throne as soon as possible and benefit the people!"

Jun Lingyun took it, and the heavy weight in his hand pressed straight into his heart.

"Senior, I want to meet my father before I succeed to the throne."

When he said this, he was a little lacking in confidence, thinking that Sikong Yu would be unhappy, but he heard him say plainly:

"That's what you should do as a son of man, and you don't need to tell me. Your Highness, just do what you think is right. ”

Jun Lingyun respected Sikong Yu's character even more, nodded at him and saluted, and then left with Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao wanted to talk all the way and stopped, he seemed to know too much. I always feel that the head on my neck is not very stable.

Jun Lingyun glanced at him with disgust.

"What are you doing shaking your head?"

The white owl quickly stopped his movements.

"Master, do you really want the emperor to live in the royal palace?"

Jun Lingyun only said:

"The Son of Heaven broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people."

Bai Xiao pondered the deep meaning of his master's words, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the royal palace.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The guards saluted and greeted them. Today's royal palace is really lively, the emperor has just come to the front foot, and His Royal Highness the prince has also arrived in person.

Jun Lingyun didn't care what others thought, he didn't squint and went straight into the inner courtyard.

The emperor was very surprised to see Jun Lingyun coming, he didn't expect that the prince would be able to find him so soon.

But when he saw that Si Shang and Si Shan actually bowed to Jun Lingyun, the eyes that looked at Jun Lingyun changed in an instant, becoming vigilant and sad.

"This palace wants to talk to my father alone."

Jun Lingyun spoke, and Bai Xiao, along with the three of them, retreated together and closed the door of the house.

In the room, the emperor stared at Jun Lingyun, as if he wanted to stare him out of a hole.

Jun Lingyun walked up to the emperor with a straight posture and knelt down on his knees.

"Father, you often say that you are not only the father of your sons, but also the emperor of this Yunxiao country, and you must put Yunxiao country first in everything. Sons, keep it in mind. ”

He raised his eyes and looked directly at the emperor.

"Now Erchen is not only your son, but also the prince of this Yunxiao country. If it were an ordinary person who committed a tragedy of extermination, he would definitely be beheaded for public display. Although you are the Son of Heaven, you cannot ignore the etiquette in vain. ”

Jun Lingyun kowtowed to the emperor three times.

"Father, you can rest assured that you can live here for the rest of your life."

Only then did he get up and unravel the acupuncture points for the emperor.

"Smack!"

The emperor slapped Jun Lingyun in the face.

"Rebel! In vain, I have cultivated you carefully, trusted you, and maintained everywhere! You, you have united with traitors and calculated my throne? ”

Jun Lingyun was slapped in the face, but he did not back down in words.

"Father, when you are recuperating in this palace and are not worried about food and clothing, please think about those souls who died under the knife of your rights! You can rest assured that Erchen will never live up to your careful cultivation and will let you see a prosperous world. ”

"You!"

The emperor raised his hand and wanted to fight again, but Jun Lingyun held his wrist.

"Father, if one day, the son is ashamed of the people of the world, he will definitely come to you to receive the punishment!"

The Emperor pulled back his somewhat aching wrist. I looked at this son, who was both familiar and strange, with a chill in my heart.

"Son's resignation!"

Jun Lingyun turned around and wanted to leave.

"Someone! The prince is disobedient and unfilial, and he will not be taken down! ”

The guards of the royal palace, hearing the emperor's order, hesitated to step forward and surrounded Jun Lingyun. After all, this is a holy decree, and if you disobey it, you will lose your head.

Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to obey the emperor's will.

Bai Xiao and Si Shangshan did not make a move, because Jun Lingyun had already raised the jade seal with one hand and the emperor's edict with the other.

"Boom", the scroll of the edict rolled down, so that the people in front of Jun Lingyun could clearly see the words "Edict of Succession"!
