Gu Changzheng sighed: "Changting has suffered a lot this time. If it weren't for the Xin family in the Prince's Mansion, I don't know what would happen now. How can Father compensate and reward him?"

"Do you still need to worry about him?" The emperor sneered: "Without some hardship, how could the favor of the two generations of emperors fall on him so easily? As for Xin, if she didn't have such an opportunity to show off her talents, why would she? Become Princess Duanqin?"

Gu Changzheng's eyes lit up, not because of the hint in the emperor's words, but because he was happy for Gu Changting and Xin Nian: "So, my father really wants to make Xin the princess? For the daughter of a guilty minister, this is a big deal. of glory."

"She deserves it."

The emperor picked up the teacup and took a sip, then thought about it and said: "The most important thing is, if I don't seal her, can this bastard from Changting let me go? I can't bear to come here every day crying and complaining about my merits."

Gu Changzheng: ...Father, you are so scheming, it turns out that there are juniors who are afraid of you.Changting is really a role model for our generation, and it’s worth it.

His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have sensed his son's thoughts, and suddenly snorted: "That's the end of my making her a princess. Her father's injustice will be vindicated when you become emperor in the future. As an emperor, I have to take care of my face." "

Gu Changzheng looked at his nose and mouth, and murmured in a low voice: "It's not like I haven't issued an edict to sin against myself before, but now I think about my face."

"You bastard, Sin Ji Zhao Na... that's just a formality, can it be compared with this?"

The emperor scolded him angrily, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside, and then Xue Yan, the chief eunuch, ran in with great strides and said urgently: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has led a thousand imperial troops into the palace gate and is now heading to the Yangxin Palace. Come."

"I understand." The emperor dusted off the hem of his dragon robe, turned around and got off the bed: "Is everything ready in the pavilion?"

"Yes. The five hundred elites brought by Prince Duan have already laid an ambush. Coupled with the palace guards and a thousand imperial guards, they can't create a big storm."

"It's not just that it can't make waves, it's nothing to be afraid of."

Gu Changzheng stood behind the emperor and said calmly: "Zhao Ruhu is the confidant of the prince's brother. How dare he protect a thousand imperial guards under him, all of whom are the prince's confidants? Are they all willing to force the prince to go to the palace? Especially when they find that the situation is over, How many people are willing to risk the lives of their entire families and participate in the rebellion?"

"Yes."

Xue Yan was shocked: These five princes have always been unruly, but now they suddenly show the dignity of a king, which makes people dare not look directly at them. Sure enough, His Majesty has good taste, and Concubine Shu is really a blessing.

"Come on, let's go out and see."

The emperor said something and stepped out of the gate first. Gu Changzheng and Xue Yan quickly followed him. At this time, the sound of neat footsteps in the distance could be heard faintly.

*******************
Just before entering the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, His Highness the Crown Prince was still full of confidence. However, this confidence disappeared when he saw the emperor standing calmly on the steps, looking left and right without any sign of illness. .

"It's so late for the prince to break into the Yangxin Palace with so many armored guards. It's not a filial piety to visit me, right?"

The emperor looked down at his uncertain-looking son, who was illuminated by the torchlight, with a calm expression, and all the pain and anger were suppressed in his heart.

If this was a step given by his father to use the slope to get off the donkey, the prince would really like to go down.It was only then that he suddenly realized that he had said that he would succeed if he failed, but in fact, he had never been prepared for success in his heart. He always thought that with his wisdom and strategy, he would only succeed in one blow.But now that he was about to become a benevolent man, he realized that he was so guilty and timid, so timid that he wished he could kneel down, hug his father's thigh, and cry bitterly to beg him for forgiveness.

Yes, the prince would definitely have done this if he had not known that it would be useless.Just like when he did something wrong when he was a child, his father would forgive him as long as he held his father and cried for a moment.

But it doesn't work anymore. When he grows up, he wants to be emperor. In order to achieve his goal, he even forces the palace to rebel, which can be called crazy.

Now that the matter has come to this, there is no point begging for mercy. All we can do is try our best.

Although the prince already had an ominous premonition in his heart, he still tried his best to calm down and said: "My father is seriously ill and it is really not suitable to continue to take care of state affairs. Therefore, I have the courage to ask my father to retire and live in peace and prosperity."

"Hahaha……"

The emperor laughed loudly, then his face suddenly sank, and he said in a deep voice every word: "Retire after success, and live a long life. Well, what a filial son. It's a pity that I don't want to fulfill your filial piety. How about staying?"

"Since my father refuses to put his body first, my son has no choice but to remonstrate to the end."

At this point, the prince had no way out. He slowly raised his hand, only to hear a loud "swipe" sound, which was the sound of a thousand imperial sabers being unsheathed behind him, so neatly that it made people's scalp numb.

Under the torch, the sword was shining brightly, and everyone's face was extremely solemn.Just kidding, this is forcing the palace to rebel. If it succeeds, it will be the merit of following the dragon; if it fails, the whole family will lose their heads along with him.

The prince was about to put down his hand when he suddenly heard a long sigh from behind, and then a familiar voice sounded: "Your Highness, I advise you to retain a little awe, and don't let these thousand loyal soldiers be buried with your ambition. They Among them, except for a few people, who knows that what is being done tonight is to force the palace to rebel? Look at the situation at this time, do you really think you can still succeed? "

There are no words that can describe the prince's shock at this time. Even if a lightning fireball suddenly fell from the sky or some stone man spoke, it would probably be nothing more than that.

He turned around suddenly and looked at the tall young man walking slowly behind him. The muscles on his face jumped a few times uncontrollably. Fang shouted in disbelief: "Is it you? Gu Changting?"

"it's me."

Gu Changting looked at the prince coldly and said in a deep voice: "I have met His Highness the prince. Yes, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I haven't thanked you for your kindness to the prince. But it doesn't matter. On such a big day tonight, we It just happens to wipe out the past grudges."

"you you……"

After all, he has been a prince for 30 years. Seeing Gu Changting appear here and now, and thinking about His Majesty the Emperor's long face, which was clearly free of any disease, how could the prince not understand?
Because you pointed at Gu Changting, after you shouted twice, you could no longer say a complete sentence.

Gu Changting came to the prince's side and saw the strong look of despair in his eyes. He thought there would be some pity and sympathy in his heart, but there was none at all.The night attack at the palace wiped away the last bit of affection he had for his cousin, leaving no trace left behind.
