Chapter 193 Her demonic words confuse me 24

Assassins entered the palace and disturbed the emperor, so the emperor took a day off.

Prime Minister Zuo saw off the messenger eunuch and stood in the front hall, hands behind his back, meditating.

The prime minister's eldest son didn't know why and asked: "Father, what are you doing?"

Prime Minister Zuo twirled his gray beard and frowned: "Yachuan, do you still remember the Taoist priest yesterday?"

The eldest son nodded: "Of course I have never forgotten it."

Of course, what happened yesterday would not be forgotten so quickly, not to mention what the Taoist priest did was particularly memorable.

Yesterday, father and son returned home as usual, but they saw a Taoist priest arguing with someone on the way.

The Taoist priest had a loud voice and shouted so loudly that everyone knew:

"I have been calculating for so many years and I have never made a mistake. The child in your woman's arms is not your child at all!"

The rich old businessman in luxurious clothes had a livid face: "You Taoist priest, don't talk nonsense! Who knows better than me whether he is my son or not!"

The young and beautiful new lady beside him was hiding aside with her child in her arms.

It was just a trick used by Taoist priests to cheat. It was common for Prime Minister Zuo to see that the road was blocked by two people, so he ordered the carriage driver to change to another street so as not to disturb the quarrels among the people.

But the next moment, the Taoist priest's words fell into his ears.

"You have done bad things, and you are destined to have no children. I only need to look at you to know such an obvious thing."

The Taoist priest straightened out his clothes that were wrinkled in the chaos and snorted coldly: "By the way, this child should call you grandfather."

As soon as these words came out, not only did the new lady's expression change drastically, but the expression of the silent young man on the side also changed, and the two looked at each other in confusion.

The passers-by who heard this were shocked and stopped to watch the excitement.

After that, the new lady seemed to have been depressed for a long time. She broke the jar and threw the child into the young man's hands. She pointed at the wealthy businessman and yelled:

"You old man, how dare you accuse me? I was supposed to be your daughter-in-law, but you married me because of your disrespect. Why are you dissatisfied that I gave birth to a grandson before you?"

The prime minister's eldest son recalled this with emotion: "Now the people's lives are really full and varied."

"You worthless thing!"

Prime Minister Zuo was furious. If it weren't for his eldest son's face, he would have wanted to slap him twice: "Is this all you remember?"

He took a deep breath, not expecting his eldest son to say anything that would satisfy him, and said bluntly: "The Taoist priest got into trouble yesterday. Did you see clearly the token on the waist of the person who came to pick him up?"

The Cirrus Cloud Beast Pattern Token can only be carried by people in Prince Huai's Mansion.

The man looked helpless when facing the Taoist priest: "Taoist Priest, why did you run away while His Highness went to the palace? How should I explain it to His Highness when he returns home?"

Prime Minister Zuo is not young, he is a veteran of the two dynasties, and he can be regarded as a person who has watched the emperor and Prince Huai grow up. He sees the relationship between the two brothers becoming increasingly tense in recent years.

Last night, assassins broke into the palace and disturbed the emperor, but King Huai was also in the palace at that time. Although a coincidence is understandable, putting the two things together always makes people feel uneasy.

Prime Minister Zuo sighed: "I just hope..."

The eldest son didn't hear clearly and asked doubtfully: "What do you hope for?"

I just hope that your Majesty will not be confused for a moment. With the current situation of Weiguo, no one can be missing without His Highness Prince Huai.

He stroked his beard, glanced at the dull eldest son on the side, and sighed even more depressedly. Out of sight, out of mind, he shook his head and walked back to the study.

"How could I have such a wooden fish-headed son? It has really ruined my reputation for the rest of my life."

"Mr. Zuo, what you said is wrong. Mr. Zuo has a pure nature. If he becomes an official in the future, he will definitely be clean and honest, and will be praised by others."

Prime Minister Zuo:!

The man in front of the bookshelf is tall and tall. Although his clothes are messy, he still looks dignified.

Seeing the man's eyes falling on the calligraphy and paintings on the bookshelf, his eyebrows jumped and he bowed:

"I didn't know that His Royal Highness the King of Huai was here, but I failed to welcome you from afar. This is my fault."

"Master Zuo, there is no need to blame yourself. It was my impromptu decision that I failed to inform you of."

Qi Jinchao looked at the calligraphy and painting with a gentle smile: "This handwriting looks very familiar."

"Your Highness has good eyesight," Prime Minister Zuo said with a smile, "This is a work written by the late emperor himself, and I am very lucky to receive this honor."

Qi Jinchao smiled and did not answer. He raised his hand and took the calligraphy and painting off the bookshelf, revealing the empty cabinet wall behind it.

He crooked his knuckles and knocked on that spot. The sound was dull and hollow.

Cold sweat broke out on Prime Minister Zuo's forehead.

"I remember that my father summoned Mr. Zuo on the eve of his death." Qi Jinzhao determined the position and pushed hard with his finger, exposing a narrow gap.

The bright yellow and slightly old imperial edict was held in his hand.

Prime Minister Zuo lifted up his clothes and knelt down.

Three years ago, on the eve of the late emperor's death, he was summoned to the palace.

The late emperor was as angry as a silk thread, and his voice was so low that it was inaudible: "Prime Minister, I have something to entrust to you."

His eldest son, Qi Nianben, was mediocre in talent, not broad-minded, incestuous, and unworthy of the throne;

The second son, Qi Jinchao, is talented, kind-hearted, and brave. If the country of Wei is handed over to the second son, then he, the late emperor, can rest assured.

However, since ancient times, the eldest has not established the virtuous, and this year is also his son. If the throne is awarded to the second son instead of the eldest son, I am afraid that this year he will be resentful and plot trouble.

He is the father of the Wei Kingdom and the father of the princes. Naturally, he does not want to see brothers killing each other.

"If Chengji is king, trouble will definitely occur this year, and brothers will fight each other. If Chengji ascends the throne this year, with Chengji's broad-mindedness, there is still hope of living in harmony."

The late emperor picked up a handkerchief and covered his mouth and coughed violently. Prime Minister Zuo said worriedly: "Your Majesty, don't think too much, you still have to take care of the dragon body."

"No problem."

The late emperor waved his hand tiredly and said bitterly: "Previously, I wanted to leave a clear leader for the Wei Kingdom and had high hopes for Chengji. But now that it's here, I have become hesitant."

"Now, I just hope that the princes will be well," the late emperor closed his eyes and whispered, "I will make my eldest son the prince and inherit the throne, but I have to entrust you with something..."

Prime Minister Zuo was entrusted with the important task of carrying this imperial edict back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and carefully hid it. It has never been revealed in these years.

I don’t know how His Highness Prince Huai knew about the existence of this imperial edict and came straight over.

Qi Jinzhao glanced at the imperial edict and explained: "Before his death, my father summoned me alone and informed me of all the arrangements he had made."

At that time, the late emperor was already dying and could barely hold his hand:

"Chengji, your imperial brother is jealous by nature. He has been jealous of you for a long time. I hope you can be tolerant and patient." He said and took a breath.

"Father, we have already made arrangements. If he threatens your life in the future, you will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to obtain the imperial edict. With my imperial edict, you will be able to ascend to the throne of justice."

The emperor is far less important to Qi than his relatives, and he values ​​friendship more than power.

He had forgiven Qi Nannan again and again, but now, Qi Nannan was no longer his relative.
