Kyoto Imperial Palace

The emperor sat high on the dragon chair, his eyes slightly closed, his right hand supporting his forehead, thinking deeply about something. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the prince finished his report, he stood quietly and waited with a little apprehension. Even if he is the prince of a country, he is extremely talented. The prince still has some faint fear in the face of his biological father. This is the instinctive vigilance of the subordinate to the superior, just like a gray wolf encountering a tiger, no matter how cunning he is, he must retreat and dodge in front of him.

For a long time, the emperor remained motionless and seemed to be asleep. But the prince only dared to slow down his breathing, and once again lowered the sound he might make.

The emperor finally raised his head, looked at the crown prince, and said, "So. The mission to kill Zhang Yuwen failed. ”

The prince did not dare to argue, and should claim that it was.

The emperor knocked on the dragon chair and said, "If I'm not mistaken, I didn't get rid of Zhang Yuwen and wasn't allowed to return to Beijing, but is it wrong?"

The prince's heart tightened, but he still nodded and said, "Father is not mistaken. ”

The emperor said: "There is nothing wrong with you returning to Beijing to report. After all, for this kind of big event, it's safe to meet me in person. ”

The prince's heart relaxed slightly, but before he landed safely, the emperor's next words made his heart rise again.

The emperor said: "Zhang Yuwen went to deal with that man in Tsing Yi, naturally it was a good strategy. But why didn't you send someone to deal with the endgame, if one of them wins miserably and only has half a life left, this is the best chance. ”

"It's the son's negligence. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince blurted out, but the Emperor was clearly not satisfied. So he continued: "That's how Erchen understands. Although the man in Tsing Yi is a threat, what he did did did not threaten the interests of the imperial court. And Zhang Yuwen's move is to win the hearts of the people, if we take advantage of the danger of others, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

The emperor yawned lazily, the prince lowered his head and didn't dare to look, yawning is human nature, but the emperor always makes people feel undignified, so when the emperor does this kind of thing, the people around him have to look away and dare not look. It was not the emperor's request, it was the result of power and class.

The emperor said, "The gains outweigh the losses, and the gains outweigh the losses of two in a row." ”

"You have the ability, and you are ruthless enough, otherwise you won't be able to sit down, and you won't be able to sit firmly in the position of the prince. It's just that sometimes, you look stupid and naïve!"

The crown prince was very surprised, even if the emperor scolded him for being stupid, he could accept it. But when it comes to his naivety, the prince is a little unimpressed, and he doesn't know where to throw his innocence until now.

The emperor sneered and said, "You're not convinced?"

The prince said respectfully, "Don't dare." ”

The Emperor said, "The first one is worth the loss, joke." On the side of the couch there is no room for others to snore. A person who is a threat does not want to try to control and eliminate him, and expects the other party not to treat him with him, and he is sure that he will not interfere with each other in the future by not interfering with each other in the past. Isn't this naïve, are you stupid as a pig!"

The prince's body was lowered, and he didn't dare to refute it at all.

The Emperor continued, "The second one is hopelessly stupid and naïve. Don't take the opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, just for some fame. Hmph, since ancient times, there has only been a truth that the winner is king, and the loser is the villain. This is a reputation that has been passed down through the ages. What about unscrupulous means, even if there is some infamy, there is no consciousness to bear it?!"

The crown prince knelt on the ground, "Father's lesson is yes." ”

The Emperor said, "That's it." It's not easy for you, either. In this way, you worship Fang Guoshi as a teacher and study the truth hard. For two months, don't do anything else. ”

A look of joy appeared on the crown prince's face, and he said, "Thank you, Father." ”

The emperor said, "What about the eighth child, he has been in Jiangnan Province for so long, what kind of construction does he have?"

The prince said: "After the eighth uncle left for Jiangnan, he secretly contacted reliable people to organize the siege and killing of Zhang Yuwen. After Du Daowei and I arrived, we were in the process of completing the assembly. After that, an agreement was reached with Zhang Yuwen. The eighth uncle didn't want to go in vain, so he stayed in Jiangnan Province to preside over the overall situation. ”

After hearing this, the emperor didn't have any special expression, just waved his hand to signal that the prince could leave.

......

Gangnam-do,

A place where the Heavenly Machine Dao people receive disciples to teach.

Tianji Dao's hand suddenly shook, and the white child in his hand fell into the chessboard.

Not only was the Tianji Daoist very surprised, but the old man who played against him was also surprised. Even ordinary chess players would not make such mistakes, and it is unlikely that they will be distracted for a while.

Uncle Cai grabbed the hand of the Tianji Daoist to pick up the chess, and said, "There is no regret about the fall!"

The Heavenly Machine Daoist withdrew his hand and said disdainfully, "If you let you have three sons, you won't be able to win against me." ”

What Tianji Daoist said was naturally not the truth, he just didn't want Uncle Cai to gloat too much and deliberately stimulate him.

Uncle Cai was really enraged, blowing his beard and glaring. Tianji Daoren didn't continue to pay attention to Uncle Cai, but watched the chess game. He was intrigued by his one-in-one mistake. Any accident has a cause, and finding out the root is likely to be a big mistake.

Tianji Taoist, self-proclaimed Tianji, said that he was the second in the world in the derivation of the heavenly machine, and no one dared to call himself the first in the world.

Soon, the Heavenly Machine Daoist saw that there was a problem and said, "I see. That thing was over. ”

Uncle Cai reacted very keenly and said, "What is it?"

The Heavenly Machine Daoist said, "What else can there be?" The bureau in the forbidden land of the Ye family. ”

Uncle Cai asked, "What was the result?"

Tianji Daoist said, "If there is something, can I still play chess with you so leisurely?"

Uncle Cai nodded and said, "Yes." Well, let me tell you, there is no room for regret when this chess piece falls, don't play tricks!"

Tianji Daoist sneered, "Old guy, don't look carefully, you make a lot of nonsense." I'm just messing around, and it's a good move. ”

Uncle Cai said, "You have deceived me so many times. Do you think I'm going to follow your ways?"

"If you don't give up, just keep going. Tianji Daoist said unceremoniously.

Continue to go back and forth, entangled for a while. Tianji Daoist suddenly said, "The Ye family's treasure, why don't you go and join in the fun?"

"Nothing good. We resisted so fiercely that we ran out of goodies. The only thing that can be regarded as a good thing is the inheritance of the sword array and the thing outside the sky. I have no reason to go. ”

The Tianji Daoist was a little surprised, "Listening to what you said, that's not some hope for revival. Still leave the inheritance of the sword formation there?

Uncle Cai said, "As long as the martial arts are not lost, the others can be taken back." The hope of setting up revival is a bit far away, the Ye family, rather than bending. If you want to fight hard, you will do everything and never leave a way back, whether it is the enemy or yourself. As for putting the Sword Formation Inheritance there, it is the revival of the Sword Gate. Those who can get the sword array are the descendants of the Sword Gate. That's what Ye Ziyue meant. ”

The Heavenly Machine Daoist said, "Ye Ziyue is not dead. Why don't you go to her?"

Uncle Cai said, "Don't you understand? Now is not the time to meet, after Ye Xiaoye can support the burden of revival." ”

The Heavenly Machine Daoist sighed, "How could I not understand. It's just that don't you think it's too heavy to put this burden on Xiaoye? Since Ye Ziyue is not dead, she is the best candidate for the revival of the Ye family. ”

Uncle Cai didn't speak.

The Heavenly Machines Daoist also stopped talking.
