"In order to keep the black yarn hat, you have to open the back door, in order to keep the black yarn hat, you have to turn a blind eye, are you involuntarily self-conscious! ”

"Don't, don't, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's small moves, Your Majesty's small ones are all recruited. ”

"If you think about it, then I'll call it for me, and I'll see who has a tail behind their butts and doesn't dare to let me see it. At this point, the old emperor suddenly remembered something, raised his right hand and said: "Wait, wait a minute! I don't care about the others first, you first explain to me clearly, who stopped Zuo Zongzheng's performance from the county order of Zhulu County." ”

There are some things that you don't need to ask to know who it is, and who else can you take away the performance of the Ten Princes except for the Ten Princes. Even so, the old emperor still had to ask, he wanted to determine the truth, and he wanted the post steward to tell the truth himself.

His idea was good, but an accident happened, the face of the post house manager suddenly became ugly for some reason, and his face, which was originally red and translucent, suddenly became black as if he had been poisoned, and then he spat black blood and showed a painful look, and after a while, in front of everyone's eyes, he actually died like this.

When he died, his limbs curled up like chicken feet, his eyes were round and he was staring at the sky, and he bled to death through seven holes.

Is death the end? Apparently not!

His Majesty waved his hand and said: "Check, check for me, compare the records of all local post stations with the records of several post stations near the imperial capital, and see who has taken the folds that should have been reviewed by me, and see who they have." "The old emperor has been through ups and downs for fifty years, what winds and waves have not been seen, looking at the tragic death of the post house steward with a bad expression, his attitude is excited and coughed in the hall, "cough cough, cough cough, cough ......" I don't know how long it took, finally better, continued: "How he died, who was killed must also be found out to me, I want to see who dares to openly kill in front of me, it is really an ambitious leopard guts." ”

......

Since last year, such chaos has happened again and again, as if to indicate that the old emperor can no longer sit on the dragon chair under his buttocks, and he can no longer suppress the eager ministers.

He is indeed old, from the long gray hair, from the unstoppable cough, it can be judged that the old emperor is really old, he is now barely supporting every moment, at least in the eyes of everyone.

The hall clerk of the post house died inexplicably on the Hall of Light, he did not die when he was escorted by the great eunuch Liu Yi, and he did not die before the great eunuch Liu Yi found him, but he died in the palace, and died when he was about to say who took the book of the Ten Princes. It's too coincidental, and it will inevitably make all the courtiers think that it was the people sent by the Ten Princes who killed people.

After the post house steward died, the old emperor was too lazy to deal with the city lord of Surabaya City, and ordered the great eunuch Liu Yi to torture him to see what he could get.

What's next, what to do next, there are endless unsolved cases, but it seems that the mastermind behind the scenes can never be found, who is quietly controlling everything, is it really the prince?

The old emperor's gaze is profound, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, only his gaze is the deepest, and there is something in that deep gaze that others can never understand.

That night, Tuoba Lie told Shen Fei in detail about the incident, who listened to the whole thing, stood up and walked to the window, broke the branch of the peach tree that stretched into the house from the window, and said to the prince: "I can't see anything in the current situation, but there are too many coincidences in this matter, and it is not so normal for so many coincidences to be superimposed, let's wait and see what happens, anyway, the spearhead of the matter is really aimed at the prince, let's wait and see what happens." ”

Tuoba Lie listened to his words, and his expression did not become warmer in the slightest, but became deeper, "There is one more thing. He said in a heavy tone.

"What's wrong?" Shen Fei was curious, he couldn't think of anything that could make Huang Zilie so serious.

"A woman's profane clothes were found in the clothes of the seventeenth brother, which should belong to Concubine Rong from the ornamentation. ”

"How did you find out now? ”

"The profane garment had been put together with a large tunic and was only discovered when the wardrobe was moved. ”

"What's so special about it?"

"The clothes are very cool, and they should be close to the body. Even if it is a biological mother and son, it is strictly forbidden to be too intimate in the harem, not to mention that the seventeenth brother is no longer young. ”

"You mean to say?"

"I'm afraid that Daozun, your guess at the beginning was right, and this matter has a lot to do with Concubine Rong. ”

"Don't tell it out, it's not good for us to tell the secret, just calm down and see how things develop in the future. ”

"The king understood. ”

"Your Highness, you have to remember that in the Vanity Fair of the imperial capital, there are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends. After all, you and the true prince belong to the same branch of the noble concubine, and in some cases, one is prosperous and the other is lost. ”

"Dao Zun's words seem to be different from the past!"

"Time has passed, and I've seen some really bad signs?"

"For example?"

"I feel that the power of the Great Prince seems to be too large. ”

"The king understood. ”

"That's it, go back and rest. ”

Seeing off Huang Zilie, Nalan Ruoxue, who was dressed in cool clothes, walked out of the darkness, hugged Shen Fei's neck from behind, and kissed him with his cheek.

Shen Fei patted her arm, which was as soft and smooth as mutton fat, and said in a pampering tone: "Don't worry, anyone can have an accident, but I, Shen Fei, don't." "Having said that, thinking of Tuoba Lie's latest discovery, I can't help but tremble in my heart, Concubine Rong was sent to the palace by Tuoba Phoenix, if she really has the power to twist the seventeenth prince into a twist, Tuoba Phoenix can not know? As for the purpose of killing, there are so many things that can be thought of.

Shen Fei is different from others, he has seen beautiful killers, so from the very beginning, he thought that Concubine Rong had suspicions, and Huang Zilie's discovery undoubtedly confirmed his thoughts, and he found a strong evidence to confirm his views. But Shen Fei didn't want to startle the snake and make the suspicion public prematurely, because he couldn't understand who Concubine Rong was, and he couldn't see through the complicated relationship. The imperial capital is a huge net, and all the people on it have complex connections, and only by mastering their connections with each other can we determine whether it is beneficial or disadvantageous for us to make the truth public, and there is no absolute justice at all.

This made Shen Fei feel distressed, he felt that it was against his original intention to help Huang Zilie get status, of course, he could also say some nonsense about waiting until I had power to change the world, but he knew in his heart that those words could only be used to comfort himself, and it was really difficult to become true!

For many days, Nalan Ruoxue could obviously feel that Shen Fei was preoccupied, and sensed that Shen Fei was not happy. As the person closest to Shen Fei, there is only the last layer of window paper between the two of them, and the hearts of the two are simply close together, and Shen Fei's every move can't hide from her, and she can't hide from a woman's sixth sense.

Nalan Ruoxue could feel the contradictions on Shen Fei's body, she could feel the pressure on Shen Fei, she knew that Shen Fei was not happy, but she had no way to help the other party, so she could only use her own arms to warm up, and try to make the other party feel at home.

I don't know how long this kind of day will last, but if it goes on like this, she feels that Shen Fei's heart will slowly change, becoming no longer high-spirited, no longer young and vigorous, becoming cold, and becoming down-looking. Is that Shen Fei still someone who he wants to follow no matter what, and likes it from the bottom of his heart.

I don't know when it started, if you don't hug Shen Fei to fall asleep at night, you can't sleep soundly, Nalan Ruoxue feels that her feelings for Shen Fei have changed from the initial passion to a faint attachment, a discomfort after leaving, just like treating relatives.

She took Shen Fei to the bed, where she tripped over Liuxiao, who was sleeping in the room, and almost fell. Seven small has become six small, the death of the boss must be painful for Shen Fei, but he has never been willing to show this pain, Shen Fei is a strong person, a person who likes to endure it very much, buries everything in his heart, and only keeps the happiest side to himself, which is a kind of protection for himself in his eyes, but Nalan Ruoxue doesn't like him like this, Ruoxue likes to see the real Shen Fei, hoping that he can confide in himself and see himself as the person who can confide in.

"I don't know what's going on in the mountains, I'm really homesick. "Ruoxue is very uncomfortable staying in the human country, I feel that this place is not as good as Xianshan at all, the people here are full of desire and cunning, full of battles and struggles, calculating anytime and anywhere, planning every moment.

Everything here is dark, far less free and casual than the fairy mountain. If it weren't for Shen Fei who had already left, Ruoxue really wanted to return to Xianshan immediately, and be with her mother and Gong Yue, but unfortunately she couldn't do it, she couldn't let go of Shen Fei, she couldn't leave Shen Fei alone to face the darkness at this critical time, she had to accompany each other, even if she had already been filled with the thought of going home, even if she was tired of mortals' deceit. Because those things are not worth mentioning compared to Shen Fei.

Shen Fei is too important to her, this importance is like water and air, Ruoxue even feels that if she loses Shen Fei's own life, it will lose its meaning.

......

The results of the investigation of the recitals came a week later, and the results were—not as the post house steward said, many, many officials would go to the post station to erase their own recitals, and only a few people did so, including the Ten Princes!

The old emperor jumped like thunder, smashed things and chairs, yelled in front of the courtiers, and after making a fuss, he broke out into a fierce cough, and then was carried down by the palace people, leaving the Manchu civil and military to look at each other.

Tuoba Zichu stood with his head bowed, his gaze always forward, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him, and was something outside his body.

The thin little old man Murong Nan came to him with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Prime Minister Zichu, the Ten Princes should be Ling Chi when he is angry with His Majesty like this." ”

Tuoba Zichu turned his head to look at him and said: "The matter between the princes is an internal problem of the royal family, as a courtier, you should not express too many opinions, the idea is taken by Your Majesty, and Zichu only obeys orders." ”

Murong Nan said unrelentingly: "As the prime minister, he should take responsibility for the country and the society, solve problems for His Majesty, the prince's problem is heavily implicated, isn't it the duty of the prime minister to give advice to His Majesty." ”

"What does Prime Minister Murong expect Zichu to do?"

"Write to Your Majesty together with the old ministers and execute the ten princes. ”

"Execution? Tiger poison does not eat children, let Your Majesty execute his own son, will not fall into the unkind and unrighteous situation of our emperor. ”

"You need to know that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the ten princes have the intention of rebellion, and they should be killed. ”

"Maybe what you say is right, but maybe not, who can say for sure what is going on in this world, just as the words recorded on the post station may or may not be true. ”

"Prime Minister Zichu, what do you mean by this. ”

"Isn't what I mean obvious enough! Prime Minister Murong, you should be the one who understands me best, you really played a big game of chess. ”

Looking at Tuoba Zi's unmoving face at the beginning of the storm, Murong Nan felt a chill, this guy who looked sick like the old emperor, but there was a coldness in his eyes that saw through everything, and a wisdom that penetrated everything, it seemed that all conspiracies and tricks had already been seen through by him, but he just saw through it and didn't say anything.

Now thinking back to His Majesty's cough just now, a person who has never shown weakness was suddenly carried down by the imperial doctor because of a severe cough, it is not normal, is it intentional?

Murong Nan suddenly realized, he immediately understood that His Majesty was actually only showing anger on the surface, and deep down he didn't necessarily think about it, he understood that this game of chess had not yet been won steadily, in fact, he had not really checkmate the other party, and Tuoba Zichu's failure to express his position was the best evidence.

Because the situation is undecided, Tuoba Zichu, who is known as the first smart man in the empire, has never chosen a side, so that the opponent still has a chance to fight back?

Tuoba Zichu's attitude was ambiguous, and it was obvious that he was biased towards the eldest prince, otherwise he would not have said those prompting words with his forbearance.

"This man......" Murong Nan stared at Tuoba Zichu's side face, watching him turn to the throne again and look ahead, gasping, "This man, what a great guy." "Tuoba Zi first faced the throne, his eyes were pious and persistent, and the light revealed showed his absolute loyalty to His Majesty, or did he covet the throne?

I don't dare to continue thinking about it.
