"Eighteen years ago, your father came back with you, I knew you were a smart and kind child when I saw you for the first time, your father didn't hide it from me, he told the truth, saying that you are the emperor's illegitimate son in the people, but you can't bring it into the palace, so you should be the child of the Luo family, give the name Luo Tian, I and your father have not told you the truth, one is that the emperor does not allow it, and the other is that I don't want you to get involved in the disputes of the royal family, you only need to be my son, be the child of the Luo family, and then grow up, even if you have no possibility of becoming the emperor, but at least you can grow up healthy and happy freely。 ”

Under the candle flame, Luo's mother's old but kind face was revealed.

"As I thought, although you have gone through some crooked paths and given up on yourself, but in the end you have become a man who stands up to the sky, Tian'er, is it so important whether you are a prince or not, whether you are born for your mother? Or now that you know your identity as a prince, are you not the son of your mother?"

Luo's mother's question touched the depths of Luo Tian's heart, Luo Tian was stunned, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I will always be your son." ”

"Hehe, drink the soup quickly, it's not good to taste when it's cold, and then you go to the big 6 to break through, if you're tired, come back, there will always be someone to make soup for you." ”

This is about the greatness of mother's love, even though Luo Tian did not shed the blood of the Luo family, but this love will never be cut.

After a few days, Luo Tian did not enter the palace, but Luo Kun met with the six princes several times, and the news brought back was that the six princes expressed their hope that General Luo Kun would continue to lead troops to fight and defend national security.

It seems that everything has passed, and a month later, it is finally the day when the Supervision Department will try the three princes and sentence them.

The third prince almost didn't hide it, he told everything and everything, and at the same time bit the six princes, but unfortunately, before the testimony was presented to the emperor, it had to be reviewed by the six princes, who are now the crown princes, and those testimonies that were unfavorable to him naturally would not appear in front of the emperor.

"Father, the evidence of the third brother's crime has been sorted out, and the Supervision Department is waiting for your decision. ”

This decision is nothing more than two options, either exile and demotion to commoners, or beheading.

"What do you think?" the emperor asked directly, without reading the testimony.

Ji Yuan almost didn't hesitate, and then said: "Please forgive the third brother from my father, turn him into a scholar, and match the frontier, and never return to the royal city." ”

It seems that Ji Yuan's move is out of kindness, but in fact he has other plans.

The old emperor never wants to see his son killed, so he will not sentence the third prince to death no matter what, he asked this is a test for Ji Yuan, don't think that if you become the crown prince, you will definitely be able to become the emperor, and Ji Yuan must also be careful in the last three months.

Therefore, Ji Yuan, who understands the emperor's intentions, might as well be a favor and express his hope that Ji Yu will survive, but after Ji Yu matches the frontier, he will send someone to chase him down and kill him, so that he can not only be a good person in front of the emperor, but also achieve the goal of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

"Just do what you want. The old emperor threw the testimony out, as if he was in a bad mood.

Ji Yuan nodded and retreated.

Three days later, in the Supervision Department, the three princes were brought into the lobby wearing prison uniforms, and the crown prince Ji Yuan was sitting on the main trial platform.

"Kneel!" The messenger pushed the three princes, but the three princes didn't kneel, and after stumbling for a while, they were still standing in front of Ji Yuan.

"It's okay, if the third brother doesn't want to kneel, he doesn't have to kneel. ”

"I should call you the crown prince now, sixth brother, amazing, you have finally become the prince, and you are the position that the people have been waiting for, haha......" Ji Yu laughed.

"Third brother, my father was merciful and did not kill you, but demoted you to a commoner and exiled to the border pass, and you will never return to the royal city. Ji Yuan said.

"It seems that my father didn't see the words I wrote about you in the confession, but I didn't think that he could see it, hehe, demoted to a commoner, and then you can send someone to kill me at the border, right?" Ji Yu immediately guessed Ji Yuan's thoughts.

"I don't have this intention, third brother, as long as you are willing to sincerely repent and have no intention of rebellion, I will still forgive you in the future, you are my brother after all......"

"Put away your set of hypocrisy, that's right, I'm a rebel, because the throne should have been passed to me, and you are not qualified to fight with me, I am the most capable of managing this country among the princes, but unfortunately, I am a real villain and lost to you, a hypocrite. Ji Yuchong sneered at Ji Yuan.

"Bold, shut up!" the messenger slammed a wooden stick on Ji Yu's knee, and Ji Yu fell to his knees in pain.

"Now that the verdict is also here, can you let me have a drink, it can be regarded as seeing me off. Ji Yu asked.

Ji Yuan nodded, and an errand next to him took out a pot of wine from behind and sent it to Ji Yu, Ji Yu directly opened the lid of the wine pot and drank it all, and laughed after drinking: "The wine has also been drunk, and the defeat is also defeated, if there is an afterlife, I will come to you for revenge." ”

After saying that, Ji Yu suddenly smashed the wine jug, and then picked up the pieces on the ground with great speed, and cut his neck fiercely, the officer next to him didn't expect him to commit suicide, it was too late to stop it, and the blood gushing out Ji Yu was all over, and the white prison uniform was full of shocking red.

Ji Yu laughed wildly and fell to the ground, and finally it was too late when the doctor arrived, this prince who was once in power and was only one step away from the throne, but now he fell in the Supervision Department.

Ji Yuan's face was cold, and he said unmoved: "You don't have to tell the emperor about this, so as not to make the emperor sad." ”

After speaking, he stepped over Ji Yu's corpse and walked out of the Supervision Division, and everyone knew that this person would be the monarch of Yunshan Country in the future.

The whole royal city is finally peaceful, but it doesn't mean that there will be no storms, the emperor's body seems to be very good, but the trajectory of life is coming to an end, and every day is a countdown.

The old emperor still often summons Luo Tian to attack and chat, and even sometimes takes Ji Yueling out of the palace to hunt, but Luo Tian has never mentioned in front of the old emperor that he knows his life experience.

Three months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the end of life has finally come.

The whole palace was busy, and the old emperor came to the end of his life in the dormitory, and before he died, he pronounced three people to his bedside.

The first to enter the account was Ji Yueling, the old emperor pulled his youngest daughter, and said softly: "Ling'er, you must marry someone as kind as you in the future, and your father will protect you in heaven." ”

This sentence made Ji Yueling's eyes red instantly.

"But don't like Luo Tian, he is a prodigal son, and he can't give you a home. ”

After speaking, the old emperor rubbed Ji Yueling's hand and showed a warm smile.

The second person to enter the account was Ji Yuan, and the emperor only said one word to him.

"Yuan'er, this country is in your hands, you must not be defeated, use your own way to govern the country, and make Yunshan Country richer and stronger, cough cough...... In fact, three months ago, when there was no rebellion in parenting, the person who chose was you. ”

The third person to enter the account turned out to be Luo Tian, no one expected that the old emperor would meet a general at the end of his life.

Luo Tian walked to the side of the sickbed, the old emperor had already entered the dying moment, he looked at Luo Tian, smiled faintly, and said softly: "I'm sorry." ”

Luo Tian was stunned and said, "Weichen is panicked. ”

"You really look like your mother, the first time I saw her, she smiled at me, and your eyes are exactly the same as hers, Tian'er, I am your father, you are my emperor, it's a pity that I only said this when I was dying, will you blame me?"

The emperor asked with a smile, but full of apologies.

"No, it won't. Luo Tian said softly.

"That's good, hehe, that's good......"

He muttered, like an ordinary old man with broken thoughts, turned his head and slowly closed his eyes, and finally fell into a deep sleep, only this time he fell asleep, but he never woke up.

Luo Tian lowered his head, he didn't know what it was like in his heart, but he wanted to cry a little, even if the person lying dead in front of him was not his biological father, but he was also an elder who was kind and amiable to him.

Luo Tian walked outside the dormitory, countless people looked at him, Luo Tian took a deep breath and said, "The emperor has died." ”

In an instant, the cry shook the sky.
