"Your Majesty."

Emperor Changping glanced at his younger brother sitting silently at the bottom: "Zhao'er came to the imperial capital for the first time, and he must be very curious about the customs and customs of the imperial capital, and it is rare for him to be so in love with the prince. After the Dragon Boat Festival, let him have a small Let's stay for a while. I really like this child very much."

The sensitive civil servants immediately pricked up their ears.

Your Majesty has played Tai Chi with King Jing for two days, is this finally about to be done?

They are not stupid, so they can naturally guess that this time Emperor Changping suddenly summoned King Jing and his son to Beijing for the festival, obviously it was not for the sake of brotherhood, and the story will be told earlier, and they will not wait until this year, but to test whether King Jing is real. As rumored, he was treasonous.

If King Jing agrees that his son should stay in Beijing as a hostage, then everything is easy to talk about, if not...

All the civil servants sighed inwardly.

The disaster of Emperor Wu is not far away, and the tragedy of the rebel army besieging the city is still in front of us. Now the government has finally stabilized, and the lives of the people have finally become a little richer. Under the series of benevolent policies introduced by His Majesty, all walks of life are thriving. Up, prosperity and development, it really can't stand the devastation of another war.

If King Jing dared to rebel and start a war at this time, he would be really heartless.If such a person without conscience ascends to the throne, it will be a disaster for the whole country.

The civil servants knew very well that His Majesty took the risk to call King Jing and his son to Beijing because he wanted to preemptively eliminate this disaster. It would be even better if it can be proved that this matter is really just a rumor.

Although he knew that his dear father made this decision for the sake of the country and the people, but Mu Xiao still refused in his heart.Leave such a pushy bastard in the palace, how can he show off in the future.How can he gain the love and encouragement of his father without being in the limelight?Without the love and encouragement of his father, what meaning would his life have?In short, Mu Xiao confirmed once again that he and Mu Zhao must have a mutual relationship. In the previous life, he killed Mu Zhao's father or Mu Zhao killed his father.

Mu Zhao naturally also heard what Emperor Changping said.

He doesn't care where he lives, anyway, it's boring to stay in Sichuan all the time, what he cares about is, who?Who did he fall in love with?Even the emperor can't talk nonsense, okay?

He has nothing but hostility towards that former little prince!hostility!hostility!

General Wu looked at Mr. Wu excitedly, son, from now on, you are no longer alone, respecting the prince, you will also perish with the little prince.You, the little prince, and Prince Jing, the three of you will be grasshoppers on the same rope from now on.The father of the same grasshopper, if King Jing was not carrying a treason lawsuit on his back, he really wanted to ask King Jing to have a cup of tea with him.

There are really too many topics to talk about between them, for example, the future of the son, for example, facing the future of the son, what should a father do.

But thinking about it carefully, General Wu felt a little wronged again. King Jing wanted to usurp the throne, and let King Jing's son and the little prince perish together. As for him, he didn't do anything, he didn't have any evil intentions, The Ministry of War has been doing its duty in these years. Why does His Majesty insist on letting his son perish with the little prince?

Is it because he once missed the team and supported the second prince?But there are many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, especially Wu, who support the second prince, so why did they choose his son?His boss Xiao's son is also very suitable for the little prince no matter his age or personality.

Xiao Bing, who was drinking heavily, sneezed three times in a row for no apparent reason, thinking that some bastard was speaking ill of him behind his back.

Under the eyes full of speculation from all directions, King Jing stood up from his seat in trepidation, bowed respectfully to Emperor Changping, and said: "Brother Emperor does not despise Zhao'er's recklessness, and is willing to keep him in the palace to teach. My younger brother naturally has no objections. Not only do I have no objections, my younger brother even wants it."

"Brother Huang also knows that Zhao'er has been spoiled by his younger brother and has no rules. It's not a solution for a long time. As the saying goes, a loving father has many failures, and my younger brother is too ruthless to discipline him. If Brother Huang can act on his behalf Discipline, take care of this child's temper, I am really grateful."

This answer is both expected and unexpected.

Emperor Changping took a deep look at his younger brother and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I regard Zhao'er as my own son. As long as you are willing, I will naturally take good care of him."

King Jing smiled humbly and said: "Brother Huang speaks seriously. It is this child's honor to be taught in front of Brother Huang. There is no reason for me to be reluctant."

The civil servants were also in a slightly complicated mood.

King Jing's answer is naturally perfect and reassuring, but isn't it a bit too perfect and reassuring?

I heard that Prince Jing and Concubine Jing have only this one son, and Prince Jing loves Concubine Jing very much. She has no concubines and concubines. Prince Jing's son is the only child of Prince Jing's mansion. Now he wants to keep the only son in Beijing as a hostage. How forced it is, as a father, King Jing should show a little sadness or reluctance.That's the nature of father and son, nothing else.

Ke Jing Wang showed no signs of sadness or reluctance at all, Jing Wang's reaction was like completing a pre-planned task, without any emotion at all, with only strong traces of acting.

If King Jing really made up his mind to prove his innocence, that's why such a strong man broke his wrists, then that would be great.

If King Jing could even give up his only son for his own ambition, then this person is really terrible.

The civil servants sighed in their hearts again.

Hope things don't go in the worst direction.

As the person involved, after hearing his father's answer, Mu Zhao frowned, his face sank, and he shattered a wine glass on the case.

"My son?!"

The attendants of Prince Jing's Mansion were startled.But soon, they understood why the son was angry.Just ask, which child would like his father to abandon himself so without hesitation like abandoning a pawn.What's more, chess pieces are cold stones, without emotions, but people are made of flesh and blood, with emotions, joys, anger, sorrows and joys.

Mu Zhao was angry, firstly because his father ruthlessly abandoned him, and secondly because...Mu Zhao cast his eyes on Mu Yun.

The second is because, before leaving, he accidentally overheard the conversation between his father and the counselor, and knew the secret!

For the little prince of the former dynasty, his father would rather abandon him!He really hated this former little prince!

King Jing didn't seem to notice his son's angry gaze, he still said calmly: "Actually, this time when I come to Beijing, besides wanting to personally present the gift to the emperor, there is also one important thing to report to the emperor."

Emperor Changping signaled King Jing to continue.

King Jing said: "Brother Huang, do you still remember that Jiannan Jiedu envoy Pei Daoyuan was wiped out three years ago?"

Not only Emperor Changping was taken aback, but all civil servants and generals present also looked solemn.

Jiannan Jiedu envoy Pei Daoyuan, like Wei Zhao's father Wei Zhizhang, was once a close friend of Emperor Changping when he was the prince.Later, when Emperor Wu ascended the throne, the second prince was granted the title of King Anshun, and he was stationed in the southwest. On the surface, Pei Daoyuan cut off contact with the Palace of Anshun, but in fact, he had been subsidizing King Anshun's soldiers, horses, food and grass secretly to help him quell the banditry. The first one joined King Qin's army, and took the initiative to hand over his troops to the command of King Anshun.

It can be said that Emperor Changping was able to go north smoothly, repel the rebels, and finally ascended the throne as emperor, thanks to Pei Daoyuan's contribution.But just when Emperor Changping was about to reward the officials, a shocking tragedy happened. Including Pei Daoyuan, the Jiannan Jiedu envoy's mansion was wiped out overnight, and no one survived.Afterwards, the murderer burned down the entire Pei Mansion and cut off all clues.

Emperor Changping wanted to investigate, but there was no way to start.

Now that King Jing suddenly mentioned it, Emperor Changping was puzzled: "Of course I remember it, why did I suddenly mention it."

King Jing said: "Because, my younger brother has found the murderer who wiped out the whole family of Pei's family back then."

Emperor Changping suddenly stood up from behind the case, clenched his fist with one hand: "What did you say?"

"Your brother dare not lie to the emperor."

King Jing glanced at a man dressed as a guard of Prince Jing's mansion standing behind him: "I haven't come out yet to meet His Majesty."

"Yes."

The man went out, knelt down, and cried loudly: "I hope that Your Majesty will decide the lives of more than 100 people in the Pei family."

Emperor Changping was surprised: "Who are you?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the villain is..." The man choked up and broke down in sobs: "The villain is the deputy general next to Mr. Pei, named Wang Lun. When the tragedy happened that night, he was ordered by the general to go out to handle errands, so he was spared."

Emperor Changping anxiously asked, "Who is the murderer?"

"Brother Huihuang." This time it was King Jing who answered: "According to Wang Lun's investigation, the murderer who destroyed the Pei Mansion was a young killer. There is a group of blood-red beast totems, from the outside, it looks very much like..."

Emperor Changping's heartstrings tightened immediately: "What does it look like?"

"It's like... listening to the legendary divine beast."

Not only did Emperor Changping's complexion change drastically, but everyone else in the banquet gasped as well.

Di Ting, Di Ting, who once enveloped the entire imperial city like a shadow, and the veterans of Emperor Wu's court who had experienced that horrible period, shuddered almost at the same time.However, Pei Daoyuan is a well-known loyal minister and good general, and he has a high prestige among the common people. Why did Emperor Wu send Di Ting killer to destroy the whole family of Pei's mansion?Could it be because Pei Daoyuan knew something secret that he shouldn't know?

King Jing said: "I heard that young man is the best killer in Di Ting, and the only one who can use ghost swordsmanship."

Wei Zhao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly changed his expression, and said in a deep voice, "He comes and goes like ghosts, killing people invisible, but the ghost sword that can kill hundreds of people with one move?"

King Jing nodded: "That's right. When Pei's mansion was destroyed, it was almost silent. The people nearby didn't even hear the sound of fighting or screaming from the mansion. This is really unreasonable."

Wei Zhao looked at Wang Lun, "Since that's the case, how did you know for sure that the murderer was that unknown boy?"

Wang Lun cried: "Because when the last general came back from his work, he found the dying general in a secret passage in the mansion."

"It was the general who described the appearance and moves of the murderer to General Mo. Over the years, General Mo checked around based on these characteristics, and finally confirmed the identity of the murderer."

Wei Zhaofeng narrowed his eyes and asked again: "Since that's the case, why did you wait until now to report the truth to His Majesty?"

"because……"

Wang Lun raised his head, stretched out his hand, and slowly tore off a mask on his face, revealing a horrific face: "Because when the last general left the mansion, he was seriously injured by the fire. Fortunately, His Highness King Jing took him in. He has been recuperating in the mansion of King Jing all these years After recovering from the injury, the last general was anxious to confirm the identity of the murderer so as to repay the general's kindness, so he delayed reporting the matter to His Majesty."

"Furthermore, the final general also got definite news that the young killer was dormant in the imperial capital back then! That's why he traveled thousands of miles to ask His Majesty for help!"

The banquet, which was originally enjoyable, suddenly became eerie and eerie because of this news.

"This news...is it true?"

After a while, Emperor Changping asked with a gloomy expression.

Jing Wang said: "They spent a lot of money to find out, it should not be wrong. Listening to the emperor is a hidden danger. Taking this opportunity, the emperor can just uproot this force."

……

After the banquet was over, Emperor Changping immediately summoned Wei Zhao, "Ai Qing thinks, is Wang Lun's words credible?"

Wei Zhao said calmly, "Credible is also suspicious."

"Wang Jing obviously had the opportunity to report this matter to His Majesty in private, but he chose such a grand occasion as the Dragon Boat Festival. Now all the officials are in danger, and they are afraid that they will become the next target of Di Ting. King Jing is almost effortless. One death will disrupt the entire court, and even the entire imperial capital."

Emperor Changping sighed: "In Aiqing's opinion, could the nameless boy Wang Lun mentioned be the same boy who was imprisoned in the alchemy room by Master Li?"

Wei Zhao shook his head: "It's hard for me to make a conclusion on this matter. Many of the assassins who were listening to the truth were sent to the palace for secret training when they were children. There should be quite a few teenagers at that age. Unless someone can prove that they were killed The youth imprisoned by Li Tianshi will use the ghost sword."

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other, and a name came to mind at the same time: Chunyu Puppet.

Wei Zhaodao: "Obviously King Jing came prepared. In these two days, I will find an opportunity to visit the post where King Jing lives and see if there is anything unusual."
