Chapter 267 Whoever Wins the Brocade Box Wins the World
Zhao Wuyou waited at the foot of the mountain, his face was not very good-looking.For some reason, since she left the capital, she always felt that someone was following her.However, Wen Gu and Su Xi's martial arts are so high, if they were really followed by someone, how could they not be aware of it?
People with strong martial arts didn't notice that she, who has no power to restrain a chicken, is suspicious, why is this?Could it be that he really saw hell?
Su Xi rode over and shook her head at Zhao Wuyou when she got off the horse.
Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, "No?"
"The humble officer searched Yun'an Temple, and found no suspicious person. At least, there is no aura of a living person." Suxi narrowed her eyes, "Is the young master being overwhelmed?"
"Really?" Zhao Wuyou paused, "Actually, I can't tell. Ever since Jian Yan, I always felt that something was wrong." She looked around, "I always feel that there is a pair of eyes looking at me."
Wen Gu frowned, and glanced around, "It stands to reason that my martial arts are not as good as Su Xi's. It is impossible for me to be followed without knowing it. We are all extra vigilant along the way, and we haven't missed anything when we think about it. It should be unlikely. Being followed all the way."
Zhao Wuyou rubbed the center of his brows, "It's probably because of me, some things are just heart troubles after all!"
"It's Jian Yan's death, let the young master not let it go!" Su Xi sighed softly, "After all, the young master doesn't have many people to care about. This Jian Yan grew up with the young master. Regardless of whether Jian Yan takes this friendship seriously, at least The young master is serious. That's why the young master was at a disadvantage in this matter, and now I'm afraid that he has lost his heart."
"Maybe it is!" Zhao Wuyou said, "I think that many people died in my hands, but the first time to kill was my best friend. My most cherished childhood sweetheart became the last sharp sword. That's all, Since it is my heart disease, time is the best medicine. Don't talk about it, let's go back to Shangshufu!"
Su Xi nodded, and helped Zhao Wuyou into the carriage.
"Actually, I feel that the young master has such a feeling, does it really mean that someone is following us?" Suxi hesitated, "The spies reported that the secret guards of Prince Qiyou's mansion were dispatched collectively, and a large-scale search has already begun."
"I guess they are looking for that box." Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, "The dark guards were dispatched collectively, this has never happened before in the history of King Qi You's mansion. It seems that King Qi You really wants to be emperor! "
"After all, Xiao Rong in the past only loved beauties and didn't love the country, but now Xiao Rong is... rushing to the throne." Suxi sighed softly, "I guess something big will happen after getting the box."
Zhao Wuyou nodded, "This is a good time."
"What do you mean, young master?" Su Xi was puzzled.
"Although I don't like excitement, I like to watch excitement occasionally. For example, if the world is not chaotic, this excitement is really lively." Zhao Wuyou smiled meaningfully, "Suxi, You have many comrades in the world, don't you?"
Suxi nodded, "There are quite a few, but now that I am in Gongmen, I try not to bother them with many things, lest everyone get involved. Jianghu is Jianghu after all, and the imperial court is the imperial court after all. They cannot be generalized .”
Zhao Wuyou's eyes darkened slightly, "This time, I really have to use them."
Su Xi was taken aback, what does this mean, my lord?
But Zhao Wuyou's mind is usually deep, even though Suxi has been with her for so many years, she really doesn't understand her true inner thoughts.Zhao Wuyou likes to gamble the most, he gambles with his life and wealth.
She thought, if Xiao Rong knew the news, he would be so unpredictable.This so-called recuperation, I'm afraid it has to become a serious injury.
Xiao Rong was indeed injured, and the palace of Prince Qi You was as quiet as hell.Losing something is naturally anxious, and this anxiety will inevitably lead to anger and hurt.
Li Qinan saluted, "Although the injury of the lord is under control for the time being, it still needs to be taken care of carefully. Don't have any emotional fluctuations, lest the wound will open again."
Looking down at the wound on his chest, Xiao Rong's face was pale, "Thank you, Doctor Li, I know."
"I'm going to change the medicine for the lord this time, and see if there will be a better effect." Li Qinan saluted respectfully, and took the needle pack.
"Okay!" Xiao Rong nodded, "How is the palace?"
Li Qinan smiled, "If you go back to the prince, everything is fine. The empress has already watched closely the prince in Wang Zhaoyi's belly, so please rest assured, Wang Zhaoyi will definitely give birth to the prince this time, even if it is not that."
Xiao Rong let out a long breath, "That's the best. If the emperor has hope, he will not allow Dongchang and the prime minister's mansion to take power without restriction, otherwise he, the country and society of Daye, may change hands." gone."
"What the prince said is very true." Li Qinan said, "Now the emperor is waiting for the birth of the prince in the womb of Wang Zhaoyi and Fu Jieyu, there are two pregnant concubines in this palace for the first time, it can be regarded as very lively. It's a pity for Empress Empress, the phoenix crown on this top must change hands in the future if her stomach is not up to snuff."
Xiao Rong snorted, "The empress has passed away a long time ago, and now she has such a little bit of status in the emperor's heart because her mother's family is still in charge of the military power and guarding the frontier. Otherwise, she would have been a cold servant long ago. Can you still stay in this Kunning Palace?"
Li Qinan nodded, "What the lord said is that the queen is the queen after all, and some things need to be taken care of by the queen. After all, the queen is in charge of the harem, so..."
Pulling back his skirt, Xiao Rong's eyes darkened, "Keep an eye on it, now we are waiting for the birth of the prince."
"Yes!" Li Qinan bowed his head in salute, and exited the room respectfully.
Not long after, "Hu Qing" quickly walked into the bedroom, and after paying respects, he said in a low voice, "My lord?"
"How?" Xiao Rong sat upright.
Hu Qing shook his head, "If you go back to the prince, I haven't found it yet."
"Trash!" Xiao Rong was angrily, Xu Shi touched the wound, and immediately sucked in a breath of air and leaned against the bedpost.His face turned pale, his eyes were ruthless, "All the secret guards in Prince Qi You's Mansion were mobilized, but I didn't expect to find a box. What's the use of my king supporting you?"
Hu Qing plopped down on his knees, "Forgive me, my lord, I will continue to search for the lowly ranks, and I will definitely find it. Since this box was lost in the palace, I am afraid that most of the inside thieves are there. After all, the guards of Qiyou Palace are not ordinary people. , if an outsider comes to steal, they will definitely notice it, how can there be no trace like now?"
This is indeed reasonable, Xiao Rong has also thought about this problem, but there are really no outsiders in Qi You Palace.The slaves and maids here are all carefully selected, and even the secret guards of Prince Qi You's mansion are checked at every level, strict to a certain extent.
Xiao Rong is still very sure about his own safety, so he doesn't really believe that there is a thief in his hands.
Inside thief?
Suddenly, Xiao Rong straightened up slightly. During this period of time, there were indeed people who were not under his control.For example, those from Shu City, such as Mu Yao and Lian Ming.
At that time, Mu Yao was no longer in the mansion, and the incident happened after Mu Yao left, so if there was any doubt, Lian Ming should bear the brunt of it.The strange thing is that Xiao Rong himself has observed that Lian Ming doesn't have much skill. In other words, with Lian Ming's ability, it is impossible to enter the forbidden area of his own domain.
Where is the problem?
If it was really Lian Ming's hands and feet, does it mean that Mu Yao also carries some ulterior secrets?Being able to steal this box must be related to the Mirror Building.
Who is it?
Xiao Rong leaned against the bedpost, he had to stroke it carefully and think carefully about which link went wrong.Could it be that the secret he had concealed for more than ten years had already been discovered?
Thinking of this, Xiao Rong sat up in amazement, and his face became even more ugly to the extreme.
"Keep an eye on the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Xiao Rong said, if there is anyone who knows the secret of more than ten years ago, it is probably this unfathomable Prime Minister.People who have been dead for more than ten years, and they know so much, but after thinking about it, there are not so many, and everyone who knew at the time is almost dead.
"Is the prince suspicious of the prime minister?" Hu Qing frowned.
"Regardless of whether it's true or not, the prime minister's mansion is the least alarming thing in the capital. The man from Dongchang is just an eunuch, and he doesn't have that much ability after all." The will was left in the box, even if it fell into Dongchang In his hand, it is of no use to Mu Baili.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Rong only felt a headache.Originally, he thought it would be justifiable, but these years he has been looking for a way to open the box, so he went to neighboring countries.After all, there are some things that one dare not do blatantly in the territory of Daye, but after leaving the capital, it is very good that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.
Could it really be that Lian Ming has a problem?This Lian Ming, when meeting him for the first time, really felt a little unknown.I can't say what it feels like, but I always feel a little uncomfortable.
Hu Qing stepped back, he didn't know what was in the box, the prince was so angry, it would be fatal if he didn't fix the contents.
However, Xiao Rong had just ordered to strengthen the surveillance outside the prime minister's mansion, but the rivers and lakes had already started to turbulent.In the past, these mobs were not in the eyes of the imperial court at all. After all, in the eyes of all the courtiers, these people from the rivers and lakes were nothing but mobs, as long as they kept an eye on them so as not to cause major troubles.
But during this period of time, these mob really caused a big mess.
Xiao Dezi hurried into the Lianhua Palace, the emperor was playing chess with Fu Yuying at this moment.In the final analysis, Fu Yuying came from a wealthy family after all, and she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. These things are not comparable to Wang Jinxiu, a woman from a small family.
That's why they were both pregnant, so Wang Jinxiu's favor was at a disadvantage. After all, she won the king's heart more than Fu Yuying.
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Dezi saluted, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
The emperor was a little displeased, "If you are in such a hurry, how can it be proper to yell in this court?"
Xiao Dezi was reprimanded, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die, for disturbing the emperor and empress' pleasure."
Seeing this, the emperor was about to continue to reprimand, but Fu Yuying chuckled, "You slave, if you are really convicted and die like this, then you will really spoil the interest of the palace and the emperor. Your majesty, you Say it?"
Hearing this, the emperor gave a doting smile, "What about you—you have a good heart and a soft heart."
"How many years has Xiao Dezi been with the emperor, longer than the time when the concubine accompanied the emperor." Fu Yuying knew it and said, "But the concubine also finds it very strange. Why is Eunuch De different today? I am so impatient. Is something serious going on?"
Hearing this, the emperor came to his senses, straightened his face and asked, "Don't hurry up and say it."
Xiao Dezi saluted, straightened up and said, "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good. The slave just got the news that someone outside the palace is spreading rumors wantonly. He said that people in the Jianghu are looking for a box nowadays, and what's the point?" The brocade box wins the world."
"Bastard!" The emperor jumped up against the table, and the servant maid beside him fell to his knees in shock.
Fu Yuying also knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
Emperor Longyan was furious, "Who on earth would dare to spread such rumors wantonly? My country is naturally in my hands, so whoever gets the brocade box wins the world? I'm not dead yet, how can I allow these people to curse me like this?" !"
What does it mean?This clearly means that the country is about to change hands, as long as you get this brocade box, it means that you can become the emperor and replace the current Xiao family.
Therefore, the emperor was naturally furious.
Isn't this a blatant attempt to usurp the throne?
"The emperor calm down!" No one dared to say anything, just knelt there, singing these words over and over again.
The emperor took a deep breath, "Tell me, who is spreading rumors? Also, what is this brocade box? Why are there such rumors spreading outside?"
Xiao Dezi was trembling, "I don't know, I just heard the rumors outside, so I hurried back to report to the emperor. The emperor forgives the sin, this slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die!"
After getting angry for a while, the emperor calmed down a little, and stretched out his hand to help Fu Yuying who was beside him, "Get up quickly, concubine Ai, you don't have to be like this because you are pregnant, didn't you just scare you?"
Fu Yuying smiled softly, "Your Majesty, the authorities are fascinated."
The emperor was startled, "What does Aifei mean by that?"
"Your Majesty, rumors only stop with wise men. But since Your Majesty thinks that someone is operating behind this, why don't we investigate it carefully. Instead of getting angry here, it's better to find a trustworthy person and investigate carefully." Fu Yuying said Sincerely, "Your Majesty, if someone really wants to use this rumor to do something terrible, it's better to plan ahead."
The emperor nodded, "What Concubine Ai said makes sense."
"Your Majesty, my concubine feels that this incident seems a little unusual. Everyman should know that saying this is undoubtedly treason. The crime of treason should punish the nine clans, isn't it?" Fu Yuying said.
The emperor stared at her, "What else do you want to say?"
Fu Yuying looked worried, "Your Majesty, what this concubine means is that there must be a reason for the wind if there is no hole."
"You mean—" the emperor gasped, and suddenly remembered something that happened many years ago.Squinting his clear eyes, the emperor said with a straight face, "My concubine, rest well, I have something important to do."
After speaking, he immediately walked away.
Seeing the emperor walk out of the Lianhua Palace, Qiu Xian frowned, "Your Majesty, the Emperor just got angry."
"The emperor is not angry with me, he must have thought of something." Fu Yuying played with the chess piece in her palm, "This incident is strange, but it is indeed a heavy hammer for the emperor and the court."
Qiuxian was puzzled, "But ma'am, who dares to risk the displeasure of the world and do such a thing? Isn't this a clear rebellion?"
"Hush!" Fu Yuying signaled Qiu Xian not to be careless.
Qiu Xian quickly looked around, but fortunately, there was no one there, Yun Xi withdrew everyone early, and is now guarding outside the pavilion.Heaving a sigh of relief, Qiuxian continued, "Your Majesty, what should I do now, do you want to inform the young master?"
"Notice?" Fu Yuying chuckled, "Qiu Xian, where did the news come from?"
Qiu Xian was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood.Since this news came from outside the palace, it means that this news must have reached the ears of my young master long ago.Since everything is calculated in the young master's mind, there is no need to notify.
"Your servant understands!" Qiu Xian saluted.
Fu Yuying sighed softly, put down the chess pieces in her hand, and walked down the pavilion slowly, "But I'm really curious, who dares to be so unscrupulous. If the court pursues it, it will be a great crime to punish the nine clans. What kind of brocade is it?" Box, can there be such a rumor spread? Whoever wins the brocade box wins the world? Oh, what a big tone."
Qiuxian shook her head, "As the lady said, there is nothing wrong with it, I'm afraid the problem really lies with this brocade box."
"Brocade box?" Fu Yuying thought for a while, but it was just a brocade box, how could someone let out such bold words?This brocade box is still linked to the world, what is it inside?Could it be something from the late emperor?
When I heard that the first emperor passed on the throne, I didn't like the current emperor very much at first.
In fact, the emperor also thought about this problem, so he left in a hurry and went back to the imperial study.He began to search for his edict of succession to the throne. This edict was left by his father, and it was the most legitimate evidence for his succession to the throne.
The imperial edict was still there, so the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the dragon chair with relief, his eyebrows drooping slightly.
"Your Majesty?" Xiao Dezi called out in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"
The emperor looked up at him, "Do you still remember what happened back then?"
Xiao Dezi was slightly taken aback, "Your Majesty?"
"Back then, you were just a young eunuch who had just entered the palace. I guess you haven't adapted to the life in the palace, so you rushed to me when I was in danger. Do you know why I kept you here at that time?" the emperor remembered. "Among the princes, I am actually the least conspicuous, but I have a good mother, and my mother and concubine are the queens."
"Even if it is an unfavorable queen, it is the head of the six palaces, just like my current queen. Although I don't like her, but she lives in a high cabinet, who dares to offend her easily? After all, she is a woman who is the mother of the world, the mother of the country who is aloof. .”
"At that time, the emperor's favorite was King Qi You, Xiao Rong, because although his mother and concubine were only a noble concubine, she was the most beloved woman of the emperor. Even the Mu family was followed by glory. At that time, everyone felt that this The position of crown prince is none other than Xiao Rong."
"Even, even I think so. But I didn't expect that in the end, it was I who got the imperial edict! Those princes were fighting each other, and they did not hesitate to fight to the death, and in the end, I took advantage of it."
"Not only that, King Qi You also supported me to become emperor. I will never forget this friendship in my life. That's why when the kings divided up and left the capital, I specially gave him preferential treatment so that he could stay Drive with the king in the capital."
"Actually, at that time, I also needed someone by my side. After all, I didn't have much prestige, and I couldn't bear the heavy responsibility of the world. But King Qi You was different. When his father was alive, he taught him how to deal with the government. .”
Speaking of this, the emperor clenched the imperial edict in his hand, his eyes darkened, "If he wants the throne, he probably has nothing to do with me."
"Is the emperor suspicious of something?" Xiao Dezi asked in a low voice, "When the emperor ascended the throne, this edict has been verified by all the officials, and there will be no false ones. That's why the rumors outside are probably true. In order to shake the country and make the emperor suspicious?"
"This matter is no small matter. King Qi You is ill now, so go and summon my Zhao Aiqing into the palace." The emperor hesitated for a moment.
Xiao Dezi took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, are you looking for Mr. Zhao, Minister of Rites, or Mr. Prime Minister?"
"Nonsense, of course it's Zhao Xiaoaiqing." The emperor gave Xiao Dezi a gouged look.
The little servant hurried out, and went out of the palace to the Shangshu Mansion.This matter is no small matter, Xiao Dezi tried not to disturb others when he went, and went back quickly.
There was movement in the palace, and the Minister of Rites naturally got the news early.
In the pear garden, Zhao Wuyou sat there with a pale complexion, playing chess with Wen Gu.
"Aren't you ready, my lord?" Suxi asked.
"What are you preparing for?" Zhao Wuyou asked, "I have not entered the palace once or twice, as long as I am prepared in my heart, why bother." It is not the first time she knows what the emperor's temper is.
When the chess piece fell, Zhao Wuyou looked up at Suxi, "I am a little surprised that the palace got the news so quickly. Originally, in my plan, it would take two days, at least let those restless people know , and then press the news to reach the emperor's ears. Unexpectedly, some people's speed is so fast."
Su Xi said, "My lord, it's not a humble job."
"Of course I know it won't be you, I never hide my plan from you." Zhao Wuyou narrowed his dangerous eyes, "It's just that some people can't restrain themselves!"
Wen Gu was taken aback, "Is it Dongchang?"
"Dongchang is busy suppressing the affairs of Huanglan, and Mu Baili can't take care of himself. How can he be so leisurely and elegant to take care of these rumors?" Zhao Wuyou sneered, "Who covets the throne, who wants to take advantage of it?" Hit hard, use your toes to know everything."
"Who are those two?" Wen Gu squeezed the chess pieces in his hands, "It's just that I can't figure it out a little bit. Are you afraid that the one holding the real thing wants to use you to climb up? One or two covet the throne. , that kind of ambition, you have to guard against it!"
"If Lian Ming wants the throne, it might not be a bad thing." Zhao Wuyou said, "He is using me, so why am I not using him? The ancients said: The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit. "
Wen Gu nodded, "I'm afraid I'll be bitten by a snake in the end."
"If you bite more, it won't hurt anymore." Zhao Wuyou smiled back, "Just wait, the emperor's suspicions are getting worse and worse. In the end, he won't trust anyone, including me!"
"The young master—what should I do?" Su Xi was worried.
"It's not bad not to believe anyone. In this way, no one will benefit." Zhao Wuyou smiled nonchalantly, "There is no one trustworthy around the emperor anymore. Whose tragedy is this?"
Su Xi smiled wryly, "It's not easy to be an emperor either."
Zhao Wuyou said, "Stand tall and see far, but the heights are too cold."
Xi Mo hurried over, "My lord, there are people coming from the palace. Eunuch De came here in person and said that he wants to invite you to enter the palace quickly."
"I can't play this chess set." Zhao Wuyou got up, "I should go to the palace to play chess."
Wen Gu squeezed the pawns in his hands tightly, without saying a word.
Zhao Wuyou followed Xiao Dezi into the palace, and Xiao Dezi was in a hurry, but it was inevitable that he would have to give a few words of advice in the palace road, explaining the whole story in detail, "Master Zhao must have heard about it, and now everyone in the world is spreading the word, what are you talking about?" The one who wins the brocade box wins the world. The emperor was furious because of this, so he must thoroughly investigate this matter, so I hope Master Zhao can be mentally prepared."
"Whoever wins the brocade box wins the world?" Zhao Wuyou stopped in his tracks, "Eunuch De, this is not a joke."
Xiao Dezi showed embarrassment, "Master Zhao really doesn't know?"
"I have been ill these days, so... I seldom go out, and the visits are only the morning and evening of the prime minister's mansion. I really don't know what Eunuch De means." Zhao Wuyou frowned, "Who dares to be so rebellious and say Say something like that?"
Xiao Dezi sighed softly, "It seems that something happened a few days ago, but I don't know who said it. Nowadays, no one dares to say anything in the capital, but outside the capital, it has become a common people's gossip." joke."
"Since it's a joke, it can't be taken seriously." Zhao Wuyou followed Xiao Dezi towards the imperial study.
"It's fine if you don't take it seriously, but the emperor admitted it today." Xiao Dezi sighed softly, "My lord Zhao didn't know something, the emperor was furious today, and the servants didn't dare to say a word, for fear that they would eat the food accidentally. The guy got lost."
Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, "I see, it's just such a big matter, why did the emperor only summon me? Wuyou's qualifications are shallow, I'm afraid I can't compare with other adults."
"The man in Prince Qi You's mansion is ill, and the Prime Minister is also on leave to recuperate. Whom can he turn to if he doesn't ask you now?" Xiao Dezi smiled apologetically, "In the emperor's heart, Mr. Zhao is well-versed in poetry and books, and he is well versed in the way of being an official. Which one inside and outside the court is not admiring? The Prime Minister and King Qi You have been on the neighboring country for so long, and the Lord Zhao has managed the affairs of the court properly, and the emperor is at ease."
While speaking, he had already entered the courtyard of the Royal Study Room.
"Master Zhao wait outside, the servant will report it." Xiao Dezi saluted, Zhao Wuyou returned the salute.
Waiting for the emperor's approval, Zhao Wuyou entered the imperial study room respectfully, the door behind him was gently closed, Zhao Wuyou turned his face away, and bowed to salute, "My humble servant pleases the emperor's peace!"
The emperor sighed, "Let's be free from etiquette!" He waved to the emperor, "Zhao Aiqing doesn't need to be formal, come here!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Zhao Wuyou got up, walked slowly to the chessboard, saluted and sat down.
Zhao Wuyou was slightly taken aback, his face was a little sick.
After all, the emperor was just playing games on his own, and when he saw Zhao Wuyou approaching, he grabbed the chessboard.But he handed her the basket of baizi very skillfully, as if he knew her disposition and habits well.
It is very dangerous for people to know too much about their own behavior and habits.In fact, Zhao Wuyou realized in retrospect that the emperor also touched some of her scales in many cases.
Those subconscious behaviors became a silent habit.
Zhao Wuyou bowed his head to show respect, waiting for the emperor to give birth.
"Xiao Dezi explained everything to you, right?" the emperor said.
Zhao Wuyou nodded, "Eunuch De has already told this official, and this official has already figured it out."
"Then tell me, how should we deal with this matter?" The emperor sighed softly, "The one who wins the brocade box wins the world. This tone is really arrogant. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can't think of an ugly Yin." U. Zhao Aiqing is extremely intelligent, so you might as well think for me, what kind of brocade box can be related to the country? Is it related to the throne for the future?"
Zhao Wuyou put down the chess pieces, raised his head and smiled, "If you go back to the emperor, the one who can rule the world must either hold great power or be justified. In the past, there was a chaotic Qin Dynasty, and then there was the great Chu Xing and King Chen Sheng. Later, there was the Chen Qiao mutiny." , wearing a yellow robe. One is to force the people to rebel against the government, and the other is to have great power. Both of these are unrealistic for the emperor, so the brocade box that is rumored outside may not be true."
The emperor actually laughed, "What Zhao Aiqing said won my heart deeply. I have also thought about it for a long time, and I really can't think of the reason why this country has changed hands."
Hearing this, Zhao Wuyou made a bow, "The emperor is the emperor of the world. Now that Daye and Huang Lan have successfully negotiated peace, under the emperor's rule, the whole country is peaceful. How come there are conflicts in a chaotic world, and the heroes are competing for the throne. So I thought that this matter must be Some people did it on purpose, probably to stir up civil strife in our Daye Dynasty. Your Majesty is wise, don't be fooled by these people."
"That's true." The emperor seemed in a good mood, "One word from Aiqing, I was like enlightened, and I really benefited a lot."
"The emperor is wise." Zhao Wuyou bowed his head.
"Ai Qing, have you thought about it, if I let these people do what they want, what kind of troubles will this group of mobs cause in the future?" The emperor dropped his son, and then stared at Zhao Wuyou's white as jade catkins, " Don't be careless about the affairs of the world. To spread such rumors, there must be a rebellious heart in the heart, so it's better to be in vain than to let go."
Zhao Wuyou held the chess pieces, still with a faint smile on his face, "I understand, but I don't have any military power, and secondly, I'm just a minister of the Ministry of Rites. I really don't know how to deal with these mobs in the rivers and lakes."
Pretending to be unintentional, she paused, and then said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask the prince—after all, the prince is the emperor's brother, and he must be extra cautious when handling such a matter, knowing where to start. The prince is good at martial arts, and there are many capable people in his hands." There are strange people, there are also some strange people from Jianghu, if there is a prince to make a move, it must be—”
Before she finished speaking, she had already noticed that the emperor's face was slightly ill.
Seeing this, Zhao Wuyou swallowed his saliva, his body was slightly stiff, and he was a little helpless.
The emperor threw the chess pieces on the board casually, messing up a good game.
Zhao Wuyou immediately knelt on the ground, bowed his head and kowtowed, "Your Majesty calms down with my words!"
(End of this chapter)
Zhao Wuyou waited at the foot of the mountain, his face was not very good-looking.For some reason, since she left the capital, she always felt that someone was following her.However, Wen Gu and Su Xi's martial arts are so high, if they were really followed by someone, how could they not be aware of it?
People with strong martial arts didn't notice that she, who has no power to restrain a chicken, is suspicious, why is this?Could it be that he really saw hell?
Su Xi rode over and shook her head at Zhao Wuyou when she got off the horse.
Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, "No?"
"The humble officer searched Yun'an Temple, and found no suspicious person. At least, there is no aura of a living person." Suxi narrowed her eyes, "Is the young master being overwhelmed?"
"Really?" Zhao Wuyou paused, "Actually, I can't tell. Ever since Jian Yan, I always felt that something was wrong." She looked around, "I always feel that there is a pair of eyes looking at me."
Wen Gu frowned, and glanced around, "It stands to reason that my martial arts are not as good as Su Xi's. It is impossible for me to be followed without knowing it. We are all extra vigilant along the way, and we haven't missed anything when we think about it. It should be unlikely. Being followed all the way."
Zhao Wuyou rubbed the center of his brows, "It's probably because of me, some things are just heart troubles after all!"
"It's Jian Yan's death, let the young master not let it go!" Su Xi sighed softly, "After all, the young master doesn't have many people to care about. This Jian Yan grew up with the young master. Regardless of whether Jian Yan takes this friendship seriously, at least The young master is serious. That's why the young master was at a disadvantage in this matter, and now I'm afraid that he has lost his heart."
"Maybe it is!" Zhao Wuyou said, "I think that many people died in my hands, but the first time to kill was my best friend. My most cherished childhood sweetheart became the last sharp sword. That's all, Since it is my heart disease, time is the best medicine. Don't talk about it, let's go back to Shangshufu!"
Su Xi nodded, and helped Zhao Wuyou into the carriage.
"Actually, I feel that the young master has such a feeling, does it really mean that someone is following us?" Suxi hesitated, "The spies reported that the secret guards of Prince Qiyou's mansion were dispatched collectively, and a large-scale search has already begun."
"I guess they are looking for that box." Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, "The dark guards were dispatched collectively, this has never happened before in the history of King Qi You's mansion. It seems that King Qi You really wants to be emperor! "
"After all, Xiao Rong in the past only loved beauties and didn't love the country, but now Xiao Rong is... rushing to the throne." Suxi sighed softly, "I guess something big will happen after getting the box."
Zhao Wuyou nodded, "This is a good time."
"What do you mean, young master?" Su Xi was puzzled.
"Although I don't like excitement, I like to watch excitement occasionally. For example, if the world is not chaotic, this excitement is really lively." Zhao Wuyou smiled meaningfully, "Suxi, You have many comrades in the world, don't you?"
Suxi nodded, "There are quite a few, but now that I am in Gongmen, I try not to bother them with many things, lest everyone get involved. Jianghu is Jianghu after all, and the imperial court is the imperial court after all. They cannot be generalized .”
Zhao Wuyou's eyes darkened slightly, "This time, I really have to use them."
Su Xi was taken aback, what does this mean, my lord?
But Zhao Wuyou's mind is usually deep, even though Suxi has been with her for so many years, she really doesn't understand her true inner thoughts.Zhao Wuyou likes to gamble the most, he gambles with his life and wealth.
She thought, if Xiao Rong knew the news, he would be so unpredictable.This so-called recuperation, I'm afraid it has to become a serious injury.
Xiao Rong was indeed injured, and the palace of Prince Qi You was as quiet as hell.Losing something is naturally anxious, and this anxiety will inevitably lead to anger and hurt.
Li Qinan saluted, "Although the injury of the lord is under control for the time being, it still needs to be taken care of carefully. Don't have any emotional fluctuations, lest the wound will open again."
Looking down at the wound on his chest, Xiao Rong's face was pale, "Thank you, Doctor Li, I know."
"I'm going to change the medicine for the lord this time, and see if there will be a better effect." Li Qinan saluted respectfully, and took the needle pack.
"Okay!" Xiao Rong nodded, "How is the palace?"
Li Qinan smiled, "If you go back to the prince, everything is fine. The empress has already watched closely the prince in Wang Zhaoyi's belly, so please rest assured, Wang Zhaoyi will definitely give birth to the prince this time, even if it is not that."
Xiao Rong let out a long breath, "That's the best. If the emperor has hope, he will not allow Dongchang and the prime minister's mansion to take power without restriction, otherwise he, the country and society of Daye, may change hands." gone."
"What the prince said is very true." Li Qinan said, "Now the emperor is waiting for the birth of the prince in the womb of Wang Zhaoyi and Fu Jieyu, there are two pregnant concubines in this palace for the first time, it can be regarded as very lively. It's a pity for Empress Empress, the phoenix crown on this top must change hands in the future if her stomach is not up to snuff."
Xiao Rong snorted, "The empress has passed away a long time ago, and now she has such a little bit of status in the emperor's heart because her mother's family is still in charge of the military power and guarding the frontier. Otherwise, she would have been a cold servant long ago. Can you still stay in this Kunning Palace?"
Li Qinan nodded, "What the lord said is that the queen is the queen after all, and some things need to be taken care of by the queen. After all, the queen is in charge of the harem, so..."
Pulling back his skirt, Xiao Rong's eyes darkened, "Keep an eye on it, now we are waiting for the birth of the prince."
"Yes!" Li Qinan bowed his head in salute, and exited the room respectfully.
Not long after, "Hu Qing" quickly walked into the bedroom, and after paying respects, he said in a low voice, "My lord?"
"How?" Xiao Rong sat upright.
Hu Qing shook his head, "If you go back to the prince, I haven't found it yet."
"Trash!" Xiao Rong was angrily, Xu Shi touched the wound, and immediately sucked in a breath of air and leaned against the bedpost.His face turned pale, his eyes were ruthless, "All the secret guards in Prince Qi You's Mansion were mobilized, but I didn't expect to find a box. What's the use of my king supporting you?"
Hu Qing plopped down on his knees, "Forgive me, my lord, I will continue to search for the lowly ranks, and I will definitely find it. Since this box was lost in the palace, I am afraid that most of the inside thieves are there. After all, the guards of Qiyou Palace are not ordinary people. , if an outsider comes to steal, they will definitely notice it, how can there be no trace like now?"
This is indeed reasonable, Xiao Rong has also thought about this problem, but there are really no outsiders in Qi You Palace.The slaves and maids here are all carefully selected, and even the secret guards of Prince Qi You's mansion are checked at every level, strict to a certain extent.
Xiao Rong is still very sure about his own safety, so he doesn't really believe that there is a thief in his hands.
Inside thief?
Suddenly, Xiao Rong straightened up slightly. During this period of time, there were indeed people who were not under his control.For example, those from Shu City, such as Mu Yao and Lian Ming.
At that time, Mu Yao was no longer in the mansion, and the incident happened after Mu Yao left, so if there was any doubt, Lian Ming should bear the brunt of it.The strange thing is that Xiao Rong himself has observed that Lian Ming doesn't have much skill. In other words, with Lian Ming's ability, it is impossible to enter the forbidden area of his own domain.
Where is the problem?
If it was really Lian Ming's hands and feet, does it mean that Mu Yao also carries some ulterior secrets?Being able to steal this box must be related to the Mirror Building.
Who is it?
Xiao Rong leaned against the bedpost, he had to stroke it carefully and think carefully about which link went wrong.Could it be that the secret he had concealed for more than ten years had already been discovered?
Thinking of this, Xiao Rong sat up in amazement, and his face became even more ugly to the extreme.
"Keep an eye on the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Xiao Rong said, if there is anyone who knows the secret of more than ten years ago, it is probably this unfathomable Prime Minister.People who have been dead for more than ten years, and they know so much, but after thinking about it, there are not so many, and everyone who knew at the time is almost dead.
"Is the prince suspicious of the prime minister?" Hu Qing frowned.
"Regardless of whether it's true or not, the prime minister's mansion is the least alarming thing in the capital. The man from Dongchang is just an eunuch, and he doesn't have that much ability after all." The will was left in the box, even if it fell into Dongchang In his hand, it is of no use to Mu Baili.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Rong only felt a headache.Originally, he thought it would be justifiable, but these years he has been looking for a way to open the box, so he went to neighboring countries.After all, there are some things that one dare not do blatantly in the territory of Daye, but after leaving the capital, it is very good that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.
Could it really be that Lian Ming has a problem?This Lian Ming, when meeting him for the first time, really felt a little unknown.I can't say what it feels like, but I always feel a little uncomfortable.
Hu Qing stepped back, he didn't know what was in the box, the prince was so angry, it would be fatal if he didn't fix the contents.
However, Xiao Rong had just ordered to strengthen the surveillance outside the prime minister's mansion, but the rivers and lakes had already started to turbulent.In the past, these mobs were not in the eyes of the imperial court at all. After all, in the eyes of all the courtiers, these people from the rivers and lakes were nothing but mobs, as long as they kept an eye on them so as not to cause major troubles.
But during this period of time, these mob really caused a big mess.
Xiao Dezi hurried into the Lianhua Palace, the emperor was playing chess with Fu Yuying at this moment.In the final analysis, Fu Yuying came from a wealthy family after all, and she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. These things are not comparable to Wang Jinxiu, a woman from a small family.
That's why they were both pregnant, so Wang Jinxiu's favor was at a disadvantage. After all, she won the king's heart more than Fu Yuying.
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Dezi saluted, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
The emperor was a little displeased, "If you are in such a hurry, how can it be proper to yell in this court?"
Xiao Dezi was reprimanded, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die, for disturbing the emperor and empress' pleasure."
Seeing this, the emperor was about to continue to reprimand, but Fu Yuying chuckled, "You slave, if you are really convicted and die like this, then you will really spoil the interest of the palace and the emperor. Your majesty, you Say it?"
Hearing this, the emperor gave a doting smile, "What about you—you have a good heart and a soft heart."
"How many years has Xiao Dezi been with the emperor, longer than the time when the concubine accompanied the emperor." Fu Yuying knew it and said, "But the concubine also finds it very strange. Why is Eunuch De different today? I am so impatient. Is something serious going on?"
Hearing this, the emperor came to his senses, straightened his face and asked, "Don't hurry up and say it."
Xiao Dezi saluted, straightened up and said, "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good. The slave just got the news that someone outside the palace is spreading rumors wantonly. He said that people in the Jianghu are looking for a box nowadays, and what's the point?" The brocade box wins the world."
"Bastard!" The emperor jumped up against the table, and the servant maid beside him fell to his knees in shock.
Fu Yuying also knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
Emperor Longyan was furious, "Who on earth would dare to spread such rumors wantonly? My country is naturally in my hands, so whoever gets the brocade box wins the world? I'm not dead yet, how can I allow these people to curse me like this?" !"
What does it mean?This clearly means that the country is about to change hands, as long as you get this brocade box, it means that you can become the emperor and replace the current Xiao family.
Therefore, the emperor was naturally furious.
Isn't this a blatant attempt to usurp the throne?
"The emperor calm down!" No one dared to say anything, just knelt there, singing these words over and over again.
The emperor took a deep breath, "Tell me, who is spreading rumors? Also, what is this brocade box? Why are there such rumors spreading outside?"
Xiao Dezi was trembling, "I don't know, I just heard the rumors outside, so I hurried back to report to the emperor. The emperor forgives the sin, this slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die!"
After getting angry for a while, the emperor calmed down a little, and stretched out his hand to help Fu Yuying who was beside him, "Get up quickly, concubine Ai, you don't have to be like this because you are pregnant, didn't you just scare you?"
Fu Yuying smiled softly, "Your Majesty, the authorities are fascinated."
The emperor was startled, "What does Aifei mean by that?"
"Your Majesty, rumors only stop with wise men. But since Your Majesty thinks that someone is operating behind this, why don't we investigate it carefully. Instead of getting angry here, it's better to find a trustworthy person and investigate carefully." Fu Yuying said Sincerely, "Your Majesty, if someone really wants to use this rumor to do something terrible, it's better to plan ahead."
The emperor nodded, "What Concubine Ai said makes sense."
"Your Majesty, my concubine feels that this incident seems a little unusual. Everyman should know that saying this is undoubtedly treason. The crime of treason should punish the nine clans, isn't it?" Fu Yuying said.
The emperor stared at her, "What else do you want to say?"
Fu Yuying looked worried, "Your Majesty, what this concubine means is that there must be a reason for the wind if there is no hole."
"You mean—" the emperor gasped, and suddenly remembered something that happened many years ago.Squinting his clear eyes, the emperor said with a straight face, "My concubine, rest well, I have something important to do."
After speaking, he immediately walked away.
Seeing the emperor walk out of the Lianhua Palace, Qiu Xian frowned, "Your Majesty, the Emperor just got angry."
"The emperor is not angry with me, he must have thought of something." Fu Yuying played with the chess piece in her palm, "This incident is strange, but it is indeed a heavy hammer for the emperor and the court."
Qiuxian was puzzled, "But ma'am, who dares to risk the displeasure of the world and do such a thing? Isn't this a clear rebellion?"
"Hush!" Fu Yuying signaled Qiu Xian not to be careless.
Qiu Xian quickly looked around, but fortunately, there was no one there, Yun Xi withdrew everyone early, and is now guarding outside the pavilion.Heaving a sigh of relief, Qiuxian continued, "Your Majesty, what should I do now, do you want to inform the young master?"
"Notice?" Fu Yuying chuckled, "Qiu Xian, where did the news come from?"
Qiu Xian was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood.Since this news came from outside the palace, it means that this news must have reached the ears of my young master long ago.Since everything is calculated in the young master's mind, there is no need to notify.
"Your servant understands!" Qiu Xian saluted.
Fu Yuying sighed softly, put down the chess pieces in her hand, and walked down the pavilion slowly, "But I'm really curious, who dares to be so unscrupulous. If the court pursues it, it will be a great crime to punish the nine clans. What kind of brocade is it?" Box, can there be such a rumor spread? Whoever wins the brocade box wins the world? Oh, what a big tone."
Qiuxian shook her head, "As the lady said, there is nothing wrong with it, I'm afraid the problem really lies with this brocade box."
"Brocade box?" Fu Yuying thought for a while, but it was just a brocade box, how could someone let out such bold words?This brocade box is still linked to the world, what is it inside?Could it be something from the late emperor?
When I heard that the first emperor passed on the throne, I didn't like the current emperor very much at first.
In fact, the emperor also thought about this problem, so he left in a hurry and went back to the imperial study.He began to search for his edict of succession to the throne. This edict was left by his father, and it was the most legitimate evidence for his succession to the throne.
The imperial edict was still there, so the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the dragon chair with relief, his eyebrows drooping slightly.
"Your Majesty?" Xiao Dezi called out in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"
The emperor looked up at him, "Do you still remember what happened back then?"
Xiao Dezi was slightly taken aback, "Your Majesty?"
"Back then, you were just a young eunuch who had just entered the palace. I guess you haven't adapted to the life in the palace, so you rushed to me when I was in danger. Do you know why I kept you here at that time?" the emperor remembered. "Among the princes, I am actually the least conspicuous, but I have a good mother, and my mother and concubine are the queens."
"Even if it is an unfavorable queen, it is the head of the six palaces, just like my current queen. Although I don't like her, but she lives in a high cabinet, who dares to offend her easily? After all, she is a woman who is the mother of the world, the mother of the country who is aloof. .”
"At that time, the emperor's favorite was King Qi You, Xiao Rong, because although his mother and concubine were only a noble concubine, she was the most beloved woman of the emperor. Even the Mu family was followed by glory. At that time, everyone felt that this The position of crown prince is none other than Xiao Rong."
"Even, even I think so. But I didn't expect that in the end, it was I who got the imperial edict! Those princes were fighting each other, and they did not hesitate to fight to the death, and in the end, I took advantage of it."
"Not only that, King Qi You also supported me to become emperor. I will never forget this friendship in my life. That's why when the kings divided up and left the capital, I specially gave him preferential treatment so that he could stay Drive with the king in the capital."
"Actually, at that time, I also needed someone by my side. After all, I didn't have much prestige, and I couldn't bear the heavy responsibility of the world. But King Qi You was different. When his father was alive, he taught him how to deal with the government. .”
Speaking of this, the emperor clenched the imperial edict in his hand, his eyes darkened, "If he wants the throne, he probably has nothing to do with me."
"Is the emperor suspicious of something?" Xiao Dezi asked in a low voice, "When the emperor ascended the throne, this edict has been verified by all the officials, and there will be no false ones. That's why the rumors outside are probably true. In order to shake the country and make the emperor suspicious?"
"This matter is no small matter. King Qi You is ill now, so go and summon my Zhao Aiqing into the palace." The emperor hesitated for a moment.
Xiao Dezi took a deep breath, "Your Majesty, are you looking for Mr. Zhao, Minister of Rites, or Mr. Prime Minister?"
"Nonsense, of course it's Zhao Xiaoaiqing." The emperor gave Xiao Dezi a gouged look.
The little servant hurried out, and went out of the palace to the Shangshu Mansion.This matter is no small matter, Xiao Dezi tried not to disturb others when he went, and went back quickly.
There was movement in the palace, and the Minister of Rites naturally got the news early.
In the pear garden, Zhao Wuyou sat there with a pale complexion, playing chess with Wen Gu.
"Aren't you ready, my lord?" Suxi asked.
"What are you preparing for?" Zhao Wuyou asked, "I have not entered the palace once or twice, as long as I am prepared in my heart, why bother." It is not the first time she knows what the emperor's temper is.
When the chess piece fell, Zhao Wuyou looked up at Suxi, "I am a little surprised that the palace got the news so quickly. Originally, in my plan, it would take two days, at least let those restless people know , and then press the news to reach the emperor's ears. Unexpectedly, some people's speed is so fast."
Su Xi said, "My lord, it's not a humble job."
"Of course I know it won't be you, I never hide my plan from you." Zhao Wuyou narrowed his dangerous eyes, "It's just that some people can't restrain themselves!"
Wen Gu was taken aback, "Is it Dongchang?"
"Dongchang is busy suppressing the affairs of Huanglan, and Mu Baili can't take care of himself. How can he be so leisurely and elegant to take care of these rumors?" Zhao Wuyou sneered, "Who covets the throne, who wants to take advantage of it?" Hit hard, use your toes to know everything."
"Who are those two?" Wen Gu squeezed the chess pieces in his hands, "It's just that I can't figure it out a little bit. Are you afraid that the one holding the real thing wants to use you to climb up? One or two covet the throne. , that kind of ambition, you have to guard against it!"
"If Lian Ming wants the throne, it might not be a bad thing." Zhao Wuyou said, "He is using me, so why am I not using him? The ancients said: The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit. "
Wen Gu nodded, "I'm afraid I'll be bitten by a snake in the end."
"If you bite more, it won't hurt anymore." Zhao Wuyou smiled back, "Just wait, the emperor's suspicions are getting worse and worse. In the end, he won't trust anyone, including me!"
"The young master—what should I do?" Su Xi was worried.
"It's not bad not to believe anyone. In this way, no one will benefit." Zhao Wuyou smiled nonchalantly, "There is no one trustworthy around the emperor anymore. Whose tragedy is this?"
Su Xi smiled wryly, "It's not easy to be an emperor either."
Zhao Wuyou said, "Stand tall and see far, but the heights are too cold."
Xi Mo hurried over, "My lord, there are people coming from the palace. Eunuch De came here in person and said that he wants to invite you to enter the palace quickly."
"I can't play this chess set." Zhao Wuyou got up, "I should go to the palace to play chess."
Wen Gu squeezed the pawns in his hands tightly, without saying a word.
Zhao Wuyou followed Xiao Dezi into the palace, and Xiao Dezi was in a hurry, but it was inevitable that he would have to give a few words of advice in the palace road, explaining the whole story in detail, "Master Zhao must have heard about it, and now everyone in the world is spreading the word, what are you talking about?" The one who wins the brocade box wins the world. The emperor was furious because of this, so he must thoroughly investigate this matter, so I hope Master Zhao can be mentally prepared."
"Whoever wins the brocade box wins the world?" Zhao Wuyou stopped in his tracks, "Eunuch De, this is not a joke."
Xiao Dezi showed embarrassment, "Master Zhao really doesn't know?"
"I have been ill these days, so... I seldom go out, and the visits are only the morning and evening of the prime minister's mansion. I really don't know what Eunuch De means." Zhao Wuyou frowned, "Who dares to be so rebellious and say Say something like that?"
Xiao Dezi sighed softly, "It seems that something happened a few days ago, but I don't know who said it. Nowadays, no one dares to say anything in the capital, but outside the capital, it has become a common people's gossip." joke."
"Since it's a joke, it can't be taken seriously." Zhao Wuyou followed Xiao Dezi towards the imperial study.
"It's fine if you don't take it seriously, but the emperor admitted it today." Xiao Dezi sighed softly, "My lord Zhao didn't know something, the emperor was furious today, and the servants didn't dare to say a word, for fear that they would eat the food accidentally. The guy got lost."
Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, "I see, it's just such a big matter, why did the emperor only summon me? Wuyou's qualifications are shallow, I'm afraid I can't compare with other adults."
"The man in Prince Qi You's mansion is ill, and the Prime Minister is also on leave to recuperate. Whom can he turn to if he doesn't ask you now?" Xiao Dezi smiled apologetically, "In the emperor's heart, Mr. Zhao is well-versed in poetry and books, and he is well versed in the way of being an official. Which one inside and outside the court is not admiring? The Prime Minister and King Qi You have been on the neighboring country for so long, and the Lord Zhao has managed the affairs of the court properly, and the emperor is at ease."
While speaking, he had already entered the courtyard of the Royal Study Room.
"Master Zhao wait outside, the servant will report it." Xiao Dezi saluted, Zhao Wuyou returned the salute.
Waiting for the emperor's approval, Zhao Wuyou entered the imperial study room respectfully, the door behind him was gently closed, Zhao Wuyou turned his face away, and bowed to salute, "My humble servant pleases the emperor's peace!"
The emperor sighed, "Let's be free from etiquette!" He waved to the emperor, "Zhao Aiqing doesn't need to be formal, come here!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Zhao Wuyou got up, walked slowly to the chessboard, saluted and sat down.
Zhao Wuyou was slightly taken aback, his face was a little sick.
After all, the emperor was just playing games on his own, and when he saw Zhao Wuyou approaching, he grabbed the chessboard.But he handed her the basket of baizi very skillfully, as if he knew her disposition and habits well.
It is very dangerous for people to know too much about their own behavior and habits.In fact, Zhao Wuyou realized in retrospect that the emperor also touched some of her scales in many cases.
Those subconscious behaviors became a silent habit.
Zhao Wuyou bowed his head to show respect, waiting for the emperor to give birth.
"Xiao Dezi explained everything to you, right?" the emperor said.
Zhao Wuyou nodded, "Eunuch De has already told this official, and this official has already figured it out."
"Then tell me, how should we deal with this matter?" The emperor sighed softly, "The one who wins the brocade box wins the world. This tone is really arrogant. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can't think of an ugly Yin." U. Zhao Aiqing is extremely intelligent, so you might as well think for me, what kind of brocade box can be related to the country? Is it related to the throne for the future?"
Zhao Wuyou put down the chess pieces, raised his head and smiled, "If you go back to the emperor, the one who can rule the world must either hold great power or be justified. In the past, there was a chaotic Qin Dynasty, and then there was the great Chu Xing and King Chen Sheng. Later, there was the Chen Qiao mutiny." , wearing a yellow robe. One is to force the people to rebel against the government, and the other is to have great power. Both of these are unrealistic for the emperor, so the brocade box that is rumored outside may not be true."
The emperor actually laughed, "What Zhao Aiqing said won my heart deeply. I have also thought about it for a long time, and I really can't think of the reason why this country has changed hands."
Hearing this, Zhao Wuyou made a bow, "The emperor is the emperor of the world. Now that Daye and Huang Lan have successfully negotiated peace, under the emperor's rule, the whole country is peaceful. How come there are conflicts in a chaotic world, and the heroes are competing for the throne. So I thought that this matter must be Some people did it on purpose, probably to stir up civil strife in our Daye Dynasty. Your Majesty is wise, don't be fooled by these people."
"That's true." The emperor seemed in a good mood, "One word from Aiqing, I was like enlightened, and I really benefited a lot."
"The emperor is wise." Zhao Wuyou bowed his head.
"Ai Qing, have you thought about it, if I let these people do what they want, what kind of troubles will this group of mobs cause in the future?" The emperor dropped his son, and then stared at Zhao Wuyou's white as jade catkins, " Don't be careless about the affairs of the world. To spread such rumors, there must be a rebellious heart in the heart, so it's better to be in vain than to let go."
Zhao Wuyou held the chess pieces, still with a faint smile on his face, "I understand, but I don't have any military power, and secondly, I'm just a minister of the Ministry of Rites. I really don't know how to deal with these mobs in the rivers and lakes."
Pretending to be unintentional, she paused, and then said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask the prince—after all, the prince is the emperor's brother, and he must be extra cautious when handling such a matter, knowing where to start. The prince is good at martial arts, and there are many capable people in his hands." There are strange people, there are also some strange people from Jianghu, if there is a prince to make a move, it must be—”
Before she finished speaking, she had already noticed that the emperor's face was slightly ill.
Seeing this, Zhao Wuyou swallowed his saliva, his body was slightly stiff, and he was a little helpless.
The emperor threw the chess pieces on the board casually, messing up a good game.
Zhao Wuyou immediately knelt on the ground, bowed his head and kowtowed, "Your Majesty calms down with my words!"
