Li Mushu stood up from his position, with a slight excitement and worry, and said in a slightly trembling voice.

"Your Highness...... If you're wrong, then ......"

Hearing this, the head of the Chu Mansion, the counselor on the side, and another person all had goosebumps on their bodies, and even the King of Jin was sweating and his scalp was numb, but he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"I know! This is a big gamble, just bet on this fortune and stand on my side Yang Hao!"

"Boom ....."

The thunder sounded, illuminating the slightly pale face of King Jin.

"Boom la la ......"

The sound of rain outside fell intensively, and the heavy rain that had been brewing from the thunder last night to the present finally came, and the flowers and plants in the original auspicious garden were bent by the torrential rain.

As the saying goes, one autumn rain is cool, and not long after the rain falls, the people of Gyeonggi Province feel that the temperature has dropped significantly.

The one who knows you best is always your opponent, and this sentence is also applicable to the competition for the crown prince, King Wu has never looked down on King Jin, even if the old emperor's health deteriorated, King Jin behaved very well and quietly, but King Wu was always very jealous of his third brother.

Similarly, King Jin also attaches more importance to his eldest brother, and unlike King Wu, who wants to lead the overall layout of the government and the opposition, King Jin has spent most of his energy around his eldest brother since the old emperor's health failed, because he knows that the competition for courtiers is not enough to compete for the brother with obvious advantages.

King Jin hasn't made any big moves for so long, or almost no action, but it doesn't mean that King Jin has really given up.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, even if there is no tangible evidence to prove the problems faced by King Wu's family, but just by virtue of the analysis in the palace of King Jin, King Jin decisively made a conclusion about the state of his opponent.

Before making a decision, the King of Jin secretly issued a series of orders, and some agile masters took advantage of the cover of this heavy rain to disguise themselves.

The key to this step is not only to instigate the people on the shore of King Wu to do it, but also to find ways to stay out of the matter, to put it bluntly, it is to create a kind of fact that King Wu is really angry and kills.

If King Wu really planned to do this, it would naturally be the best, but if the other party could calm down, he would need to be pushed by King Jin.

。。。

It's night, the pouring rain still doesn't stop, at the gate of the Jin King's Mansion, Yang Hao, the king of Jin, and the young master Li Mushu are escorted by the subordinates with umbrellas, and they go to the door and board the carriage together.

"Let's go, go to the palace. ”

After the king of Jin helped Li Mushu into the carriage, he said this to the coachman, and under the escort of the front and rear guards, the carriage started slowly.

More than a quarter of an hour later, in the imperial study of the imperial palace, Emperor Yuan De was reading a miscellaneous book in his hand, and the content was still a fairy story.

But although he was watching the fairy story, the old emperor was still thinking about the affairs of the government and the opposition, and King Wu's previous actions made Emperor Yuande quite disappointed, and he originally planned to announce the edict of succession after Chongyang, but he also temporarily pressed back.

At this time, an old eunuch walked into the imperial study and whispered.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has entered the palace to ask for a meeting. ”

"Huh, what is he doing at such a late hour?"

"Well, I said I was here to greet Your Majesty. ”

The old emperor frowned, put down the book, Gonggong Li hurriedly took a few steps forward and helped him to get up, while the palace maid on the side immediately stuffed the cushion behind the soft collapse.

"Let me in. ”

"Yes!"

The old eunuch retreated, and after a while, he led Yang Hao, the king of Jin, into the imperial study.

"Erchen has come to greet his father!"

As soon as the king of Jin was inside, he respectfully knelt down and bowed.

"Get up. ”

The King of Jin on the ground raised his head and smiled, and then stood up.

"It's fresh today, how can you be interested in entering the palace and please sit down?"

The old emperor teased, after several princes left the palace, basically no one came to ask for peace at night, of course, there was also the reason why the old emperor himself had a bad temper and was annoyed.

"Thank you, Father!"

King Jin stood up, and a eunuch brought a chair next to him, so he sat down directly.

"In the past, the ministers were very afraid of their father's emperor, so they didn't dare to come, but now that I think about it, I should come more to ask for peace. ”

With some emotion, King Jin said in a slightly lower voice.

"What about Li Mushu, he is almost inseparable from you, didn't he come together?"

"I can't hide it from my father, the teacher is still waiting in the carriage, and he said that the little young master doesn't dare to come to the imperial study to face the saint. ”

"Heh......"

The old emperor smiled, took a piece of preserved fruit on the low table in front of the collapse, and then waved his hand and pointed to King Jin, and the palace maid on the side immediately walked to King Jin with a plate.

King Jin was not polite, and directly took a lot of candied fruits, stuffed one in his mouth, and held the other in his hand.

"What's the matter?

The old emperor teased again with some amusement.

"My father laughed, but this is given by the imperial study, it is given by my father, it is different, and by the way, I will also give some to the teacher to taste. ”

The old emperor looked King Jin up and down.

"You said that you should come more to say goodbye, don't you think that the lonely time is short, and I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future, right?"

At this time, ordinary courtiers were afraid that their faces had changed greatly and opened their mouths to defend themselves, but King Jin did not speak immediately, and only spoke after being silent for a while, with a trace of sadness on his face.

"The father said it, and it is also what the son thinks, people say that it is difficult for the emperor's family to have family affection, but the son still remembers it, when he was a child, the father and the emperor still carried the son to 'fly' over......"

The old cow still has the feeling of licking the calf, as a dying old man, Emperor Yuande heard the words of King Jin full of emotion at the moment, how could his heart not be touched, he rarely did not interrupt the chatter memories in King Jin's mouth.

"I've grown up, I'm afraid it's been a lot, and my sons haven't said so much by my father's side for a long time......"

King Jin's words came to an end after he left the palace and established the mansion.

The old emperor didn't open his mouth the whole time, and when he looked at this son at this moment, he was also full of emotion in his heart, and he simply patted the side for fear of collapse.

"Come and sit. ”

King Jin opened his mouth, but after standing up half of his body, he didn't move.

"What's the matter? Aren't you sitting a lot when you were a child?"

The old emperor said so, and the king of Jin no longer hesitated, put away the candied fruit in his hand, stood up and walked slowly to the soft collapse and sat down, the soft touch under the buttocks was as familiar as in the memory, it was both a memory and a yearning.

didn't say too much digression with his father, just chatted about family life, talked about things when he was a child, and the old emperor even called Concubine Ren over in the middle.

Unconsciously, a long time has passed, and it really hasn't said anything related to the struggle for the throne from beginning to end, and it hasn't even involved a trace of government affairs.

"Father, it's not too early, you can rest early, the son will come tomorrow to say goodbye!"

King Jin got up and took his leave.

"Hao'er~ You come to talk for so long every day, how tired your father is!"

Concubine Ren frowned and counted her son.

"Hehe, it's out of the way, he can come if he wants!"

King Jin smiled and bowed to his mother and father.

"The queen mother is relieved, the sons are mainly just asking for peace, while there is still a chance to ......"

"Hao'er!What are you talking about!?"

Concubine Ren's face changed, she scolded angrily, and then immediately apologized to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Hao'er has no intention, he ......"

"Okay, okay, okay. ”

The old emperor waved his hand, he was in a good mood tonight, this was a fact, and he didn't care so much.

Concubine Ren breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her son and frowned.

"Hao'er, still don't thank your father?"

King Jin seemed to suddenly react and thanked him again.

"Thank you father for forgiving your son's innocence, in fact, what your son just said ......"

King Jin looked at Concubine Ren, sighed in decline and didn't continue, and bowed down again.

"Son's resignation!"

Waiting for King Jin to leave, Concubine Ren's face turned gloomy, and the decline with a trace of sadness before her son left made her feel uneasy.

"Your Majesty, Hao'er, he ......"

The old emperor exhaled slowly and patted his beloved concubine's back.

"It's okay, Lone won't let him have anything to do......"

The old emperor now understands a little, King Jin has always been smart, and unlike King Wu's left and right, he has been very silent for a long time, and he probably knows that he has no hope.

But such a capable younger brother, will he let him go after King Wu ascends the throne?

。。。

That night, several special messages reached King Wu's mansion, so that King Wu, who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, directly put on his clothes and came to the front hall.

"The third child entered the palace late at night?"

A man in a dark blue nightcoat replied.

"If you go back to Your Highness, it is true, the carriage will only return when it departs for the near son!"

King Wu's brows furrowed like Sichuan characters.

"Is there any news worth saying in the palace?"

Although he had discussed it with his ministers during the day, King Wu still subconsciously asked for a while.

"This ...... According to His Highness's orders, the people around the Holy Lord have stopped delivering the news......"

King Wu clapped his hands and walked back and forth in the hall impatiently.

"Then, forget it!"

"Yes!"

The person who came was ordered to retreat, and King Wu sat in the hall for a long time and did not go back to his room to rest.

Day 2, Day 3...... The king of Jin entered the palace for several days, and then one day, the carriage drove to the outside of the Gyeonggi Mansion Post House.

Yin Zhaoxian didn't expect that the King of Jin would dare to come to visit him directly, but the prince had to welcome him when he came to see him, so he could only invite the King of Jin into the post house, but he opened the main door and invited the post house guard to come and serve tea.

These two things could not be concealed from the old emperor and the king of Wu, and the reactions of the two were also different.

The old emperor learned the exact content on the same day, and knew that it was the King of Jin who hoped that Yin Zhaoxian would be able to keep the few courtiers who were pro-King Jin in the future, especially the young master Li Mushu.

Of course, this will not make the old emperor believe it like this, but it cannot be said that there is no such possibility, and it is inevitable that there is some sigh in his heart, for his son, it is indeed "the end is coming" in all aspects.

It's just that after Yin Zhaoxian, the king of Jin, King Wu couldn't hold back anymore, and once again secretly summoned his various henchmen to the Wu Wangfu to discuss.

King Jin's actions made King Wu extremely anxious, and he couldn't help but make contact with the eyeliner in the palace again, and got the fact that Concubine Ren also accompanied the imperial study several times, which made the ministers of King Wu's mansion also jealous and uneasy.

No one knew the power of King Jin better than them, and some military ministers even came to see King Wu on their own several times

In the early morning of September 17, in a remote place outside the gate of Gyeonggi Province, the young master Li Mushu and his family members were arranged in a large number of carriages, and the family members were quietly picked up here many times, surrounded by some henchmen and masters of the King of Jin.

The old Li Mushu arched his hand to face the King of Jin, looking sad and reluctant.

"Your Highness, the old decay should stay!"

King Jin shook his head.

"Teacher, you should go back to Yanzhou, even if it is really the eldest brother who succeeds to the throne in the future, you are old and far away in Yanzhou, and Yin Zhao is here, you will be fine. ”

"What about you, Your Highness?"

"I, of course, wait for the result of victory or defeat, is there still a place where I can't run?"

King Jin smiled and arched his hand towards Li Mushu.

"Take care, teacher!"

Li Mushu's old eyes were cloudy, and he arched his hand trembling slightly.

"Your Highness, take care!"

The king of Jin personally stepped forward, helped Li Mushu to get into the car, and watched the chariot and horse team slowly leave, and then turned to leave, as when he came, quietly returned to the city.
