Emperor Zhao's eyes were angry, but they were counterproductive.

Hengdong was enraged by this look!

He said directly: "Without me, can you become this emperor? Without me, you don't know how many times you have died!"

The Emperor said in a deep voice, "But this is what you should do!"

Hengdong sneered and said, "Why? Because you are the emperor and I am a courtier?"

The Emperor was silent for a while, and then said, "No, because we are friends. ”

Hengdong said: "I forgot a lot of things, but I always remember that the word friend is unbelievable, and it sounds a little disgusting. ”

The emperor was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Did you do anything to the chestnut tree on the slope of the imperial garden back then?"

Hengdong frowned slightly and said, "How do you know?"

The emperor said: "You did not succeed at that time, and it is inevitable that you will leave some traces. ”

Hengdong said: "You also checked me back then, and you knew that I had a relationship with Old Eunuch Huang, so you met me, to put it bluntly, you are also using me." ”

The Emperor said with some amazement: "Yes, we have been using each other from the beginning. ”

Hengdong was silent.

The Emperor suddenly coughed, looking very painful.

Hengdong frowned slightly, took out a pill, considered it for a long time, cut off about a quarter, fed it into his mouth, and helped him lie down.

The emperor's cough gradually stopped, calmed down a little, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Hengdong said goodbye and prepared to leave.

The emperor suddenly stopped him, looked at his back, and asked, "You...... Not from this world?"

Hengdong's body stiffened a little and said, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

The Emperor withdrew his gaze and looked out the window at the starry sky.

"I didn't think the world was fake until I realized that you had no feelings for the world and I started thinking about it. ”

Hengdong said: "I don't understand what you mean. ”

The Emperor said, "To the world, you are like an eternal guest, and to you, I will always seem to be a stranger, and that's what I mean." ”

Hengdong lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "I will wait for you to the end, I will not do anything, and I will also protect the queen for the first time." ”

After saying this, he walked out of the temple, and did not turn around, nor did he look back.

"If you're not a eunuch, what if I give you the throne......

The Emperor's voice came from behind him.

When he walked outside the hall, his own eunuch put on a big hat for him.

In the middle of the night, it is inevitable that it will be a little cold.

Dozens of eunuchs surrounded him and walked outside the palace.

These eunuchs were all his subordinates, and they had extremely terrifying combat power, and in this situation, it was very difficult to kill Hengdong.

Seeing that the palace gate was in front of him, Hengdong suddenly stopped and said, "I'm going to take a look somewhere, you guys are waiting for me here." ”

Those eunuchs were shocked when they heard this, thinking that there are many heroes and heroes in the world who want to kill Heng Gonggong, even if it is not safe in the palace, what is the father-in-law going to do?

Hengdong came to the Imperial Garden.

He stood under the chestnut tree, silently looking into the distance, but his brow furrowed.

Starlight sprinkled black overtones.

He looked like a nostalgic devil.

......

Hengdong walked out of the palace and walked down the street with the eunuchs, and pedestrians avoided it.

There were fewer and fewer people on the street, because there was an eerie yamen at the end of the long street.

This is the investigation factory founded by He Zhan, which is directly managed by His Majesty, so in most cases it means that this is his yamen.

The Detective Factory has thousands of secret spies, a larger number of cavalry, and most of the high-level officials are eunuchs promoted by He Zhan, who can directly supervise and arrest ministers and even princes without the approval of the department, and have great power.

The eunuch officials were all dressed in low-key black, and the powerful cavalry commanders were dressed in brocade, which was still dazzling even in the night.

Hengdong walked into the yamen, the eunuchs and the cavalry commanders bowed down one after another, he walked to the top with an expressionless face, untied the big hat and threw it to his subordinates, and sat down in the chair.

Everyone knelt down and said in unison, "Meet Chitose-sama." ”

Hengdong was still expressionless, his fingers were slightly curled, and he motioned for everyone to get up, supported his chin with his right hand, closed his eyes and began to recuperate.

The subordinates knew the habits of the adults, and as usual, they stepped forward in turn to report on the latest situation.

"The students of Wansong Academy complained a lot, and even secretly contacted the Confucian students of Qi State, wanting to do great rebellious things, and the thirteen of them have been imprisoned. ”

The official paused, and then said: "It's just that the news leaked a little quickly, the students of the academy have already gathered, if it is forcibly suppressed, I am afraid that it will cause ......."

Hengdong closed his eyes and said: "The scholar can't be killed, but killing it is as they want, as for how to deal with it, do you want me to teach you?"

His tone was very calm, but the official was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "The factory is making preparations, but it will take some time for those letters to be made, and we will point out the leading few people to pass through Qin, and then there will be righteous people who break into their homes, or set fires, or kill people......

Hengdong was a little dissatisfied, and said: "It's still too rough, be more detailed." ”

The official wiped his sweat and retreated, and then another official stepped forward to report: "Qi Shang was quite slow to react to the incident of the Kunshan Water Canal, but the He and Xiao families were obviously vigilant and imported a large amount of silver into the capital in an attempt to buy off the officials of the court. ”

Hengdong opened his eyes and slowly swept over the faces of his subordinates.

If Qi Shang wants to bribe the courtiers, these eunuchs in the investigation factory are naturally the focus, but I am afraid that they have already been fattened.

No one dared to raise their heads and look at Hengdong, and the official who reported forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and said with a pale face: "Please show me." ”

"The Kunshan Water Canal will not move, so you can collect the money of Qi Shang as you like. ”

Hengdong said expressionlessly: "But what I want, they must also send it quickly, and I will give it as much as they want, but if they still refuse to send the information of the treasure ship, then release the news that the maritime merchants of the Qi State have humiliated my envoys, and then ...... Let Orchid Island land. ”

The officials felt that the air in the yamen had become even colder—Qi merchants could be bribed or deterred by killing.

Everyone knows that Xiao Heng's father-in-law is not patient, and he will kill people if he fails to buy it once, but today it is obvious that his murderous spirit is extremely heavy.

It is naturally unwarranted for the maritime merchants of the Qi State to humiliate the envoys of the Zhao State, but Lanyu is a real killing god - whether it is the State of Qi or the State of Zhao, even the officials of the Arrest Factory are speculating whether this famous pirate will be a fierce dog raised by the Duke of Xiao Heng.

As for why the father-in-law cared so much about the information about the treasure ship, no one could figure it out.

The third official began his own report: "Chen Yushi still insists on refusing to admit it. ”

"Then continue to interrogate, interrogate well, interrogate carefully, don't let him die, and don't let him live too comfortably. ”

Hengdong thought about the iron-clad Lord Yushi, with a mocking smile on his face, but he didn't know who it was for.

"Speaking of which, if the court is full of such lonely and widowed officials who have no father, no mother, no wife and no children, how can we do things for Your Majesty?"

The official plucked up the courage to ask: "If he confesses to Xihuai, how will he be tried next?"

Xihuai is a scenic spot in Hejian Province.

Hengdong raised his eyelids, glanced at the official, and said, "What benefits did the river send you?"

The official smiled bitterly and said, "If you accept benefits, how dare you ask this, it's just ...... That's the palace after all. ”

Hearing this, the expressions of the officials in the investigation factory changed slightly, and they all felt that this matter was a little difficult.

If it is an ordinary royal mansion, the investigation factory will also investigate, and there are still two county kings and three uncles in the current prison, who is afraid of those.

But the ...... in the palace of the river king But the future Emperor Your Majesty!

Hengdong quietly looked at the subordinates in the field and said, "I only have Your Majesty in my eyes, and there is no one else, understand?"

Hearing this, the officials were physically and mentally cold, and they fell to their knees one after another, not daring to say a word.

......

Inside the Imperial Palace of the State of Chu.

In the coldest palace, the starlight also became cold.

Fang Yue paced slowly, constantly shaking his head and saying, "That eunuch is really perverted and terrifying. ”

Sedum smiled slightly: "Tell me about that Zhao Huang." ”

Fang Yue seemed to have stayed in Zhao Country for a long time, so he also knew more about things over there.

"The relationship between Hengdong and Emperor Zhao is indeed complex and delicate, but in this way, Emperor Zhao can see through the reality of the world? ”

In the past, there were cases in the Extreme Heavenly Ding where someone cultivated to an extremely high place and was eventually erased by the Heavenly Tribulation, but the situation between Mo Gong and Emperor Zhao was completely different.

These two people are soberly aware, or rather feel, that the world around them is not real.

The illusion is not the real world, and the people in it are naturally not real lives.

But if someone recognizes the falsehood of the world, it means that they see the truth and then become the truth.

Sedum seems to be obviously aware of this problem, is there anything special about Jitianding?

If the extreme Tianding is the mother tripod of the Danding that he has really felt, this thing should be a heavenly spirit treasure I, such a treasure is likely to produce a machine spirit in countless years!

When an object is born into a machine spirit, the thing is no longer dead, it should be alive.

But in the illusion created in the Extreme Heaven Ding, are those countless people, the emperor's ministers also dead?

Are they supposed to be alive too?

This question is a bit deep, Sedum is incomprehensible, and Fang Yue doesn't understand it too well.

"Do you really think that Immortal Seal is important to you?" Fang Yue asked.

Sedum said: "It may be very important to you and me, even...... It's important for all. ”

Fang Yue was puzzled, but he didn't continue to ask, but said, "I'm leaving! I'm waiting for you there." Hope you can hurry. ”

Sedum said: "There are many things left that can only be relied on by myself, you go, I hope Minglan will find you first." ”

At the mention of Minglan , Fang Yue suddenly felt that he had nothing to say, he had few words.

When Fang Yue left, Sedum looked at the starry sky outside the window alone, the stars were scarce, was it true or false?

Sedum's brows were also tightly locked.

Some things are destined to change, but before the change, it seems that there are always some unknown truths hidden, and I don't know if I can see clearly?
