Judge of the Lamp

Xu Zhiqiong used a letter to ask Hong Zhenji if he wanted to be emperor.

Hong Zhenji burned the letter, ordered the chariot to leave immediately, and left Yuyao Palace at a very fast speed.

In Qiancheng Kingdom, there are certain things that cannot be asked, said, or thought about.

This kind of thing is related to being an emperor!
In fact, to be precise, there is no concept of an emperor in the Qiancheng Kingdom, only a god, but the meaning is the same. This sentence is taboo in the entire Qiancheng Kingdom.

In Daxuan, acquaintances can make a joke: "You have such a bad temper, do you think you are the emperor?"

In Qiancheng, if he made such a joke, if the other side sues the government, as long as there is solid evidence, this person will definitely die.

Especially Hong Zhenji, he couldn't hear such things the most.

As the emperor's younger brother, this sentence should not appear on any occasion related to him.

Back at the palace, Hong Zhenji was still in shock, drank two cups of tea, and thought about countermeasures.

In normal times, such matters should be discussed with confidantes, but now this matter involves the emperor, so no one can let anyone know.

Hong Zhenji didn't sleep all night last night, thinking about it until noon, and fell asleep in the study.

When it was Youshi, Hong Zhenji turned over and sat up, his body drenched in sweat.

It's also because he slept too deeply. In his dream, he was cut by a full two hundred knives this time.

He ordered someone to fetch water, wiped his face, looked in the mirror, and looked at his emaciated appearance.

How to do?
If Xu Zhiqiong doesn't agree, looking at this posture, he can only wait here to die.

Hong Zhenji pinched his forehead, his heart throbbing.

Why did Xu Zhiqiong want to frame me?Why did he frame me?

If I had known that he was so vicious, I would never have attacked him.

Annoyed, Hong Zhenji was in a trance and a little tired.

Being possessed by a soul, people are particularly prone to fatigue.

In a half-dream and half-awake, Hong Zhenji heard the voice of the god again: "Hong Zhenji, you are so bold, I knew you had the heart of disobedience..."

Hong Zhenji woke up and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Why is it always the same dream?

Why does the god always suspect me of treason?

Why not other sins?

This must have been arranged by Xu Zhiqiong, he also wanted to frame me in my dream.

……

Around Xu time, a beggar with white beard and hair came to the gate of Yuyao Palace and knocked lightly on the door.

A servant went to open the door and saw a beggar standing at the door. He wanted to go back and pick up some food, but the beggar said, "I'm here to find Yunhou."

The servant was taken aback: "Are you here to ask us to transport you?"

The beggar nodded, we are old acquaintances.

If the beggar said that he was looking for Princess Yuyao, the servant would beat him out on the spot.

But he said that he came to find Yunhou, which is another matter.

Xu Zhiqiong has a special personality, and has many contacts with beggars and the like. Brother Xing was a beggar before, and the servant knows this.

Not to mention, it is most appropriate to leave this matter to Brother Xing.

The servant called Brother Xing, who thought Grandpa saw him coming.

Although it is impossible for his grandpa to come to Qiancheng Country across thousands of mountains and rivers, a child is a child after all, and he really misses his grandpa.

He trotted all the way to the door and saw the old beggar, but unfortunately it wasn't his grandfather. …

Take a closer look, this is not a beggar at all.

This is Shu Wang Hong Zhenji.

Brother Xing lowered his eyes and said, "Are you here?"

Hong Zhenji, dressed as a beggar, nodded.

"Follow me to see Lord Hou."

Hong Zhenji followed Brother Xing to the east courtyard.

In the yard, Xu Zhiqiong was drinking tea while watching Yu Chilan practice guns.

When the training got to a critical point, Xu Zhiqiong went off the stage himself, wanting to give some pointers.

Yu Chilan immediately jumped to the distance, covered Taozi and said, "Tell me, did you practice well?"

"It's good, it's just that it's a little short of fire, come on, senior sister, let's do it again."

Yu Chilan waved her hands again and again and said, "I'll fuck with Tsing Yi envoy later, but I won't fuck with you..."

Seeing an old beggar coming from the yard, Yu Chilan blushed and went back to her bedroom.

Xu Zhiqiong smiled slightly, invited the old beggar into the room, and poured him a cup of tea.

"King Shu, you are finally here."

Hong Zhenji nodded, and said with an apologetic smile on his face: "I came to Yunhou today because I wanted to clarify some things with Yunhou. There was some quarrel between me and Yunhou before, but it was all..."

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "There's no need to talk about unnecessary trivialities, I know what you're here for."

After finishing speaking, Xu Zhiqiong waved his hand lightly, and the chill that had been rolling over Hong Zhenji's body suddenly disappeared.

It felt like a knife was stuck in the tip of my heart, and now Xu Zhiqiong suddenly pulled it out.

For that joy, for that joy, for that comfort, Hong Zhenji almost didn't jump up.

He dispelled the soul-hunting technique?
Solved it so easily?

Don't you have to wait five days?
His methods are so much stronger than Cong Ming's?

It seems that he really underestimated him before, Xu Zhiqiong's cultivation is definitely not the fifth rank.

However, Cong Ming's cultivation might also be overestimated. If he had a third-rank cultivation, Xu Zhiqiong couldn't have a second-rank cultivation?
According to Daxuan's words, if you have a second-grade cultivation, you will become a star king!
But Xu Zhiqiong let me go so easily?

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem like such a kind person.

I guess I still have something to do. If I don't agree, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this door.

No matter what it is, agree first, and then we can leave safely.

"Yunhou is happy, if you have any orders, just tell me, and I will never refuse if I can help you."

"Didn't Brother Xing tell you all during the day? I asked you if you want to be emperor."

How dare he say that!

Hong Zhenji waved his hands again and again and said, "Don't joke anymore, Marquis Yun, don't trap me in injustice. The widow is loyal to the gods and monarchs. If there is any act of disobedience, I will be punished by heaven and earth..."

Xu Zhiqiong waved his hand, and the chill surged up again.

Hong Zhenji froze on the spot.

Could it be that he was hit by his soul-hunting technique again?

Xu Zhiqiong doesn't know the art of dementia, he just closed the hanging bag outside the breath.

Hong Zhenji's breath was trapped by the hanging bag, and he no longer gnawed at Hong Zhenji's soul, so Hong Zhenji naturally felt relieved.

Now that Hong Zhenji refused to be emperor, Xu Zhiqiong opened the bag again, and Hong Zhenji was bitten again.

Hong Zhenji himself can't tell whether this is lost and recovered or lost and recovered. …

The only thing that was clear in his mind was that he had just pulled out a knife from the apex of his heart, and now it was inserted back, and it was still inserted in the original wound.

"Yunhou, this, why is this?"

Xu Zhiqiong ate a green plum and said: "During the day, Brother Xing told you clearly that if you want to be the emperor, you can come to me, and if you don't want to be the emperor, forget it, but in the end you don't want to be the emperor, but you still come to me, are you Did you come here on purpose to amuse me?"

Hong Zhenji shook his head again and again and said, "Yunhou, I really have a problem."

"If you have any difficulties, just tell me!"

"I am truly loyal to the Divine Lord..."

Xu Zhiqiong shouted, "Brother Xing, see off the guests!"

Hong Zhenji fell to his knees with a thud: "Young Lord, please forgive me!"

Brother Xing entered the room, pulled Hong Zhenji and said, "Xuanren doesn't want to see others kowtow, King Shu, come with me!"

Hong Zhenji pushed Brother Xing away and said, "Your Honor, I have other concerns, I have other concerns!"

Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment, and let Brother Xing go out first, then lowered his head and asked: "Let's talk about it, what are your difficulties?"

Hong Zhenji lowered his voice and said: "The gods are all over the capital, if something leaks, I'm afraid I will die tomorrow!"

"So I'm afraid!" Xu Zhiqiong laughed, "It's not your fault to be afraid, let me tell you, how can I make you emperor?"

Hong Zhenji shook his head and said, "No matter what I do, I can't be the emperor. I don't have the destiny to be the emperor."

Xu Zhiqiong touched Hong Zhenji's face, and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate yourself, I admire you quite a lot. If this god is dead now, can you be the emperor?"

Hong Zhenji shook his head and said, "The Divine Lord still has five holy sons, and the holy son shall inherit the position of the Divine Lord."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "What if the Sons are also dead?"

Hong Zhenji said: "Then, it's hard to say that it's me. Among the princes of the same generation, besides the emperor, there is also an elder brother who is alive, the recorded king Hong Zhenkang. Since he is the elder brother, he should succeed him."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "What if your elder brother is willing to let you succeed?"

Hong Zhenji shook his head and said: "King Lu will not let me succeed, he is in the same situation as me, and he is looking forward to my death day and night."

Xu Zhiqiong asked in surprise, "Why is this?"

Hong Zhenji said: "Qiancheng's officials, including the royal family, are divided into two factions, one is close to Da Xuan, and the other is close to Tunu. King Lu is the leader of the pro-tu faction, and I am the leader of the pro-xuan faction. Whenever there is a chance, King Lu is like putting me to death!"

Xu Zhiqiong was taken aback: "Are you from the pro-propagandist sect?"

Hong Zhenji sighed: "It was just said at the time, Yunhou has misunderstood the widow a lot, if he has seen the actions of the pro-tu faction, Yunhou will know that the widow is a loyal person."
