The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Before Li Jue completely went crazy, Zhao Yao finally went to see him in the secret room. He saw that his hair was messy, his expression was haggard, his chin was covered with beard, and his clothes were wrinkled.

Li Jue slumped on the ground. When he saw Zhao Yao coming, he just raised his eyes slightly, his expression calm, but Zhao Yao could feel the madness under his calm appearance.

Zhao Yao sat down at the table and poured himself and Li Jue a cup of tea each.He raised his tea cup towards Li Jue, "Don't you want a cup of tea?"

Li Jue did not move, staring at Zhao Yao quietly with his eyes.

Zhao Yao was not annoyed when Li Jue ignored him. He picked up the teacup and drank tea slowly.After drinking tea, he spoke to Li Jue and said, "The Li family, the Fang family, the Zhong family, the Fu family, the Song family, and several others have all had their homes confiscated."

When Li Jue heard this, he stood up suddenly.He waited for Zhao Yao with fierce eyes and staggered to the opposite side of Zhao Yao.He looked ferocious and said through gritted teeth: "Your Highness, you are really good at it!"

Zhao Yao pushed the cup of tea that he had poured for Li Jue in front of him.He raised his hand to signal Li Jue to sit down, "You think highly of me. All of this is my father's plan, I just added fuel to the flames."

Li Jue sat opposite Zhao Yao, picked up a cup of tea and poured it towards Zhao Yao.

Zhao Yao seemed to have expected that he would do this, and he ducked quickly, but the tea was still splashed on him.

After Li Jue poured the tea, he collapsed on the table.He was panting heavily, but his eyes were still staring at Zhao Yao fiercely.

"Even if I don't arrest you, you will be captured by my father's people." Zhao Yao looked at Li Jue who seemed to want to eat him alive, and said in a gentle tone, "If you were captured by my father, you would have been arrested long ago. If you are dead, you cannot live until now, but I let you live until now, and I will also let you know the ins and outs of the whole thing."

Li Jue got up vigorously.His limbs had long lost any strength.

"I think you've pretty much figured out the whole thing during this time."

Li Jue said nothing.

Seeing Li Jue's silence, Zhao Yao continued: "More than 20 years ago, Jinling was a plan arranged by my emperor and my father. You people in the family are just a part of the plan of my emperor and my father. "

Li Jue raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Yao in shock.

"At that time, just after the troubled times of the previous dynasty, Jinling was destroyed by the rebel army, and other places were in a mess. Grandpa Huang and his father left the local prominent families and asked them to contribute to restoring the local area. Facts have proved that this move is right "." Zhao Yao glanced at Li Jue, who had a gloomy face, and chuckled, "When you are fattened up, my father will start to kill you. The money stolen from your families will make the national treasury rich again." "

Li Jue couldn't accept this fact.He said with a face full of rejection: "Impossible!"

"Actually, as long as you restrain yourself a little, my father will not slaughter your fattened sheep so quickly. It's a pity that you are becoming more and more unbridled, greedy and ambitious. You are also paying less and less attention to the imperial court." Zhao Yao shook his head, tutted and said, "What happened to those families in Yangzhou back then, you didn't learn any of their lessons, and you became even more unscrupulous, you said that my father Will I still tolerate you?"

"What about the prince?" Li Jue asked in a cold tone.

"Prince?" Zhao Yao sneered, "My father has long wanted to depose him. In my father's eyes, he has long been the deposed prince."

"How is that possible?" Li Jue said in disbelief.

"The prince was indeed canonized by the emperor himself, but it does not mean that the emperor agrees with the prince." Zhao Yao kindly explained Li Jue's doubts, "Actually, the emperor still valued the prince very much at the beginning, but the prince relied too much on Zhenguo. The prince's government has made my father more and more disappointed. The prince he wants is the crown prince of Zhou Dynasty, not the crown prince of the Duke of Zhenguo, do you understand?"

Zhao Yao's last words made Li Jue fully understand, and then he was shocked and seemed to be unable to accept it.

"My father allowed the Crown Prince and Duke Zhen to collude with you in order to make them make more and more mistakes." Zhao Yao pursed his lips and smiled, "The Crown Prince and Duke Zhen did not I disappointed my father, and he did a lot of wrong things in Jinling. Now, although the prince has not been deposed, he is under house arrest in the East Palace and has lost the power of a country's crown prince, while the prince of the country has been deposed."

Li Jue couldn't believe that the emperor treated his eldest son so ruthlessly, "The prince is not the emperor's son?"

Zhao Yao was amused by Li Jue's words, "Hahahaha, of course the prince is his father's son, he didn't pick him up."

"In order to deal with us, as well as the government and the prince, the emperor has really taken great pains." Li Jue's words were full of ridicule.

"As long as you are obedient, my father will not treat you like this. In the final analysis, you are too greedy, too arrogant, and too underestimated my father." Zhao Yao glanced at Li Jue with pity, "You think you are cheating After passing the court, I don’t want to be played by my father. Oh, by the way, you treat the prince and the Duke of Zhen as toys, but you didn’t expect that you are one of them."

Zhao Yao's last words hurt Li Jue's heart. This was what he couldn't accept the most.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you something. The reason why my father didn't take care of you is because he left you to me and asked me to take care of you."

Li Jue frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"My father thought you still had some talents and wanted you to be used by me, so he left you to me." Zhao Yao learned about this matter through the four secret guards arranged by the emperor to protect him.

"What?" Li Jue couldn't accept this fact even more.

"You are very smart, but I don't plan to use you."

Hearing Zhao Yao's dislike for him, Li Jue's face turned cold, "What do you mean?"

"You are too self-righteous and arrogant. You don't take anyone or anything seriously. Everything in this world is just a pastime for you." Zhao Yao looked at Li Jue with sharp eyes. As if seeing through his soul, he said, "You have no compassion or empathy at all, and you are too domineering. You will never be willing to give in to someone."

Li Jue didn't expect Zhao Yao to know him so well.

"Also, there is no right or wrong in the world for you. You only do things based on your preferences, and your preferences are right. So even if you are talented, I won't use them."

Li Jue glanced at Zhao Yao coldly and said with disdain, "Are you worthy?"

"I don't deserve it, and I don't want to, so I don't need you."

Li Jue was choked and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Zhao Yao held up his face and looked at Li Jue with a smile: "I will come to see you when I am free today. If you want to know anything, you can ask me."

Li Jue was very dissatisfied with Zhao Yao's alms-giving tone, but he knew in his heart that after Zhao Yao left this time, he would not come to see him in the secret room again.

"Prince Jing and the Song family."

"I just said that the Song family was also ransacked, even though he helped King Jing." Zhao Yao said, "Actually, King Jing begged for mercy for you, but my father did not agree. After all, you have done many heinous things. "

"What role does King Jing play here?"

"Shit stirrer."

When Li Jue heard such a vulgar word as "shit stirrer", he was so shocked that he almost choked on his own saliva.

"Prince Jing is the one my father used to deal with the Crown Prince and Duke Zhen." Zhao Yao continued, "Prince Jing is the relationship between the Crown Prince and Duke Zhen. You should understand it without me saying more."

Li Jue naturally understood.He sneered: "The emperor is really ruthless." Both the prince and Prince Jing were the emperor's legitimate sons, but they were all used as pawns by the emperor.

Zhao Yao did not respond to Li Jue's comment.

"Is there anything else you want to know?"

"Where is the King of Chu?" What Li Jue wanted to know most was about the King of Chu.

"My fourth brother is already looking for the copper that the prince and the others stole, and he is going back to Beijing in the next two days."

"Did the King of Chu find it?" Li Jue looked surprised, "How did he find it?" He didn't even find the copper that the prince and the others stole. How did the King of Chu find it?

"My fourth brother secretly came to Jinling before and investigated the transportation route of the stolen copper, but it was interrupted here. Then my fourth brother cleverly sent people to Shu to investigate, and sure enough, we found clues in Shu. "Sichuan? The prince and the others hid the copper in Shu?"

"That's not true, but they transported the stolen copper to Wuhua Mountain through Shu." Seeing that Li Jue didn't understand why he wanted to go through Shu, Zhao Yao explained his confusion considerately, "Shu Han Zhong had secretly forged weapons before."

Li Jue didn't expect that there was such a relationship.

"Did King Chu arrange for someone to be in Jinling?"

"That's not true. The fourth brother was ordered to go to Pengcheng to investigate the stolen copper. This was his first trip to Jiangnan." Zhao Yao said, "My fourth brother's power is mainly in Liangzhou and the capital."

Li Jue looked suspicious: "Not the King of Chu?"

"It's my eighth brother, King Wei." Zhao Yao said proudly, "My eighth brother is very capable. He is very powerful in Jinling and even the entire Jiangnan."

Hearing this, many things flashed through Li Jue's mind.He finally understood everything now, "It's actually King Wei!"

"You must have been deceived by my eighth brother." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "Don't be angry, not only you were deceived, the prince and the Duke of Zhen were also deceived."

"No wonder it's like this..." Li Jue had never taken King Wei seriously, and he didn't expect King Wei to hide it so deeply.

"I told you before that you should not underestimate us princes. We princes all have eight hundred evil intentions, and we all hide them deeply. Now you believe it."

Li Jue had a sullen face and said nothing.

Zhao Yao asked patiently: "Is there anything else you want to know?"

"How did you capture me?" Li Jue still can't figure out how Zhao Yao captured him.

"Oh, some special friends of mine helped."

"Special friend?"

"Animal friend, did you feel yourself being bitten by something before you lost consciousness?"

"Not a poisonous needle?" Li Jue thought he was hit by a poisonous needle and passed out.

"No, it's a kind of small insect. I asked them to help bite you, and everyone in your house, so I could kidnap you openly." It's something that is difficult for people to do, so I asked him My animal friends helped me do it.

"What bug?"

"A very small poisonous insect. People who are bitten by them will be unconscious, but they will not be poisoned." Zhao Yao has many animal friends, not limited to cats, dogs and birds, but also other animals.

Li Jue's face was as dark as water, because he thought about how when he arrested Zhao Yao before, Zhao Yao deliberately pretended to be poisoned and stayed in the secret room.

"What else do you want to know?"

"How do you want to kill me?" Li Jue knew that Zhao Yao was unwilling to use him, and waiting for him would only lead to death.

"Hey, don't you want to know about Suzhou Mansion and Runzhou Mansion?"

Li Jue sarcastically said: "Jinling was arranged by the emperor, and the same is true for Suzhou and Runzhou. What else is there to ask?"

"That's true." The homes of the aristocratic families in Suzhou Prefecture, the Cao Gang, and the Yan Gang were also confiscated. "I won't kill you."

"You won't kill me?" Li Jue looked disbelieving.

"Yeah, I won't kill you directly." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "As long as you can escape from this secret room, you will be free. Of course, if you can't escape, then you can only die here. ”

Li Jue had a dark face and said nothing.

"Don't worry, I won't poison you anymore from today on."

"Will you be so kind?"

"I don't mean well, I have confidence in the secret room I set up." Zhao Yao grinned brightly at Li Jue, "You won't be able to escape my secret room even if you have ten of them."

"When I get out, I will never let you go." Li Jue was very confident that he could escape.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in Yangzhou." Zhao Yao looked at Li Jue with a smile, "I'll let you ask one last question."

Li Jue took a deep look at Zhao Yao and immediately asked: "What role did you play in this matter?"

"I don't play any role, I am the tenth prince."

"You just said that the emperor wanted you to conquer me, but you..." Li Jue finally discovered the key point and exclaimed, "You are not unloved by the emperor, you are the one who hides it the most."

Zhao Yao stood up and said, "That was the last question, I should go." Zhao Yao did not respond to Li Jue's words, "You can take care of yourself."

"I will go to Yangzhou to find you."

"Then it depends on whether you have this ability." Zhao Yao waved to Li Jue and immediately left the secret room with Tongxi.Before leaving, he thoughtfully prepared a last meal for Li Jue. It was very rich, including fish, meat, and his favorite wine.

"Your Highness, do you really not care about Li Jue?"

"No matter what, he can't escape anyway." Li Jue was left in the secret room with only two consequences.One starved to death while the other committed suicide.No matter what the outcome is, the final result is death. "We have to return to Yangzhou as soon as possible, otherwise when Bage goes to Yangzhou and finds out that I am not here, I will expose my secret."

King Wei's injury improved a lot.After some time, the King of Wei will leave for Beijing.Before returning to the capital, he was going to Yangzhou to visit Zhao Yao.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything is taken care of and we can set off back to Yangzhou tonight."

"That's good." He spent a lot of time in Jinling.If they don't return to Yangzhou, my grandfather and grandmother will be worried.

"Your Highness, will your Highness King Wei be okay when he returns to the capital?"

"Of course something happened, but it's not life-threatening." Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and guessed, "Father will probably remove him from his post and let him be under house arrest in Prince Wei's Mansion like the prince."

"Will Duke Zhen and the others secretly be cruel to His Highness the King of Wei?" After all, His Highness the King of Wei did not succeed in getting things done this time.

"No, Bago is still valuable to them." Zhao Yao was not worried about King Wei's safety, "Even if they want to deal with Bago, they are no match for Bago."

"Yes." Tongxi felt relieved.

"Fourth brother is about to arrive in the capital. I wonder what kind of bloody storm will be caused?"
