The next day, Wei Shengzhao boycotted the dynasty again on the grounds of physical discomfort.

But this time is different from the past, in the early hours of the morning, the Yang family sent someone to report that the Taishi Yang Kai died of illness.

These days, the Yang family has been frequently suppressed, and those officials who have always been close to the Yang family, including their protégés, have almost all been found to have some excuses to branch out of the capital and be transferred to other places, and even more have been dismissed, and their wealth is not guaranteed.

Yang Kai was already old, his body was not as good as before, he used to be in a high position and enjoyed a lot of happiness, and he couldn't lift any illness when he was happy, so naturally there were not so many things. It's just that recently, with the fall of the eldest prince and his party, Yang Kai's body has been getting worse day by day, and there are secret rumors among the servants that Yang Kai's face is thin and thin, like dry firewood, and even the palace medicine doctor Sheng Huayuan is helpless when he sees it, I am afraid that he is already terminally ill.

And with the grounding of the Great Prince, the King of Qi and the Great General being imprisoned one after another, Yang Kai finally couldn't withstand the huge pressure and died with a whimper.

The ministers who came to the Jinluan Hall early to wait before dawn looked at each other, and then could only sigh helplessly, looking at the Yang family who were dressed in tears on their faces, they felt a kind of sadness, quite a sense of coldness. It's just that His Majesty still quit the court, and they had no choice, so they said "festival condolences" and retreated outside the hall in turn.

When leaving, they walked in pairs, some with spring in their eyes, and some with sad faces.

At this juncture, I'm afraid there is no one to go to mourn.

But Yang Kai's daughter was also a noble concubine, and they were also relatives of the prosperous moment, which would make Yang Kai die, His Majesty didn't even say anything, and some things were self-evident.

Sikong Quan heard that Yang Kai died of illness, and today he also went to the early dynasty rarely, and by the way, he also went to the Taishi Mansion to mourn this old minister of his time, and moved the Yang family up and down, and wished Sikong Quan a long life than Nanshan.

Sikong Quan then returned home.

As soon as he entered the door, the housekeeper in the house greeted him with a worried face: "Master, I still don't see the eldest prince come back today." ”

Sikong Quan was old, and his face seemed to have no expression forever, so he said flatly: "That loser often doesn't see anyone, what's so strange?"

"But......" The butler hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The old slave sent someone to inquire on the street, and many people said that they saw the eldest prince leading a horse to swagger through the market that day, and entered the Mingyue Building, and never came out after that......"

Hearing this, a rare smile appeared on Sikong Quan's face, but it was more like a sneer: "He will go to that kind of place." ”

"As far as I know, the eldest prince usually goes to Mingyue Tower, but he just listens to small songs and eats some snacks......"

"Hmph, kill time, kill will! Young people are like this!" Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Sikong Quan snorted coldly, and his words were mostly dissatisfied with Sikong Wang.

The old housekeeper was embarrassed, he didn't mean to make a small report, but he didn't want to annoy the master, so he hurriedly continued: "But the eldest prince is limited to this, he will never spend the night in Mingyue Tower, and no girl is good friends with him." It's a bit strange that I've been gone for a few days this time......"

Sikong Quan narrowed his eyes, he felt that the old butler had something to say.

Therefore, the old slave sent someone to ask again, and went to Mingyue Tower to look for it, but he didn't see the eldest son. And most of the noble sons in Mingyue Building, especially the third son of the Yuwen family, the eldest prince has always had a bad relationship with these people, and after so many days, he is really a little worried......

Sikong Quan raised his head slightly, and then closed his eyes, as if in deep thought. Then he waved his hand and said, "If you are worried about him, go find it yourself, the old man does not want to hear the bastard's name again." ”

The old butler's eyes were glazed, and he smiled bitterly and nodded to receive the order.

It's just that he didn't notice that Sikong Quan's figure left with his hands behind his back, trembling slightly.

Tai'an, Taiweifu.

Wei Shengshao played against Yu Wenlie, sighing from time to time.

The situation in the DPRK and China is a foregone conclusion, although Yu Wenhong and other cadres are very aware of the current affairs and call him "His Royal Highness the Prince", but the position of the prince, Wei Shengzhao still refuses to set it up, and he is confused. So I just took advantage of Yu Wenlie's banquet today to ask this question.

Yu Wenlie stroked his long beard and guessed: "Maybe Your Majesty still thinks of King Qi and Mojun in his heart, and he can't let go of this knot for the time being." ”

This whole Wei Shengshao is quite depressed, although he has infinite scenery on the surface these days, he is actually very lonely in his heart.

Since gaining power, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace have looked at him and their attitude towards him has become more and more flattering, even the concubines of his father and the emperor, and other younger brothers and sisters, no one can speak well.

His second brother Wei Shengguang is drunk and dreams all day long, and has no pursuit, which is even more excessive than him; the eldest brother is imprisoned in the palace, and there is no way to see each other, although the two are opponents, but Wei Shengshao still misses it a little at this time; as for the little sister Wei Shengqiao, who had the best relationship with him in the past, treats him coldly all day long, and he is not willing to say a word.

Wei Sheng Qiao is the daughter of Yang Guifei, and Wei Sheng Shao is the son of the queen, the two fell into a cold war because of this struggle, although Wei Sheng Shao is bitter in his heart, he can also understand it.

But he loves this lovely little sister the most on weekdays, and he has never regarded her as an enemy at all, and even thought that he would be the master of pardoning Mojun's capital crime when he became the prince, and let Qiao'er marry Mojun, so as to please the little sister to save the brother-sister relationship between the two of them.

Of course, this is just a matter of thinking.

Wei Shengshao also understood that once the position of the crown prince was established, the knife in his hand would begin to fall on the heads of Mo Jun and his eldest brother, and he didn't know how the little sister would think of herself.

"Alas......" Wei Shengshao sighed again.

"Your Highness is still worried about this?" Yu Wenlie saw Wei Shengshao's sad look, smiled secretly, and asked.

"Sort of. Wei Sheng Shao knew that the "this" in his mouth referred to the position of the crown prince, but Wei Sheng Shao didn't bother to explain it to Yu Wenlie.

Yu Wenlie nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is old, and he has become indecisive in the face of some things. ”

Wei Shengshao rolled his eyes, Father of the Heart Dao Emperor is much younger than you, the old man.

Yu Wenlie glanced at Wei Shengshao with a little deep meaning, and saw that he seemed to be in deep thought, so he immediately pretended to be careless and said: "When people are old, they should understand the torrent and advance bravely, abdicate and make way for Xian." ”

Wei Shengshao was startled and looked at Yu Wenlie in a daze.

Yu Wensu and Yu Wenhong, who were standing on the side, glanced at each other, and a wicked smile appeared on their faces.

Yu Wenlie took a step forward and asked, "Does Your Highness think the old man's words are reasonable?"

"What do you mean, Lord Taiwei?" said Wei Shengshao gasped.

Yu Wenlie pointed to the chessboard and continued to persuade: "Your Highness loves chess, and there are countless chess pieces in your hands, but you have to know ......"

"The chessboard used by His Highness is someone else's!"

Wei Shengshao was stunned.

"This world is not the world of His Highness!"

Wei Shengshao trembled all over, hugged his head in contemplation, his expression was hideous, and his heart seemed to be touched. He remembered the open and secret battles over the years, and he pretended to live for so many years, just for the position of the crown prince and the emperor. And his father, the emperor, is still healthy, and even in this situation, he still refuses to make him the crown prince, his ambition has been buried deeply, and at this moment it finally began to shine.

Then he raised his eyes to look at Yu Wenlie, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of cruelty.

If you do such a big rebellious thing, you either don't do it, or if you want to do it, you will never do it!
