Fast time travel: black lotus has no emotion

Chapter 116

Prime Minister Zhou rolled his eyes, with an expression of disbelief, stretched out his hand, fingertips trembling: "Emperor... Your Majesty, are you going to kill the donkey? Are you not afraid that the world will laugh at you!"

How can the emperor be afraid, he is already in his dying years, and after becoming an emperor, he bears so much infamy, do he still need to care about this now?
Furthermore, who was his second prince misled by? !

It's you!It's you, Prime Minister Zhou, the veteran of the three dynasties!
Don't think that he didn't understand, it was just that he had no choice but to compromise in order to stabilize the government.

But now, he can no longer watch Prime Minister Zhou harm the country and the people.

Prime Minister Zhou and the party behind him should be pruned.

"Prime Minister Zhou, I respect you as Prime Minister, but don't think that you can trust me, you have to know..."

I recognize you, you are the prime minister, but I don't recognize you, so why not kill you!
Prime Minister Zhou's dizzy old eyes suddenly reflected the appearance of the emperor, and he kept all the words of anger in his heart, and after being overwhelmed by anger, he fell limply to the ground.

There was no sound in the hall of Jin Luan, Prime Minister Zhou was part of the party, wishing he could not hide himself.

No one could believe that at this juncture, the emperor would suddenly attack Prime Minister Zhou.

He muttered secretly in his heart.

Giving the garden to Prime Minister Zhou, at best, is to spend his old age peacefully, at worst, it is imprisonment in disguise.

The emperor is old, but his majesty remains.

For a while, some of the officials who were about to make a move turned off their fire.

However, the early dynasty was over, but the drought in Longnan did not yield any results.

What's more, when the emperor was angry, some courtiers chose to watch the fire from the other side, not wanting to get caught up in the fire.

After the court, the emperor kept Gu Ruchen by his side.

Throwing the rosary wrapped around his hand on the table: "The imperial doctor is muttering every day to make me calm down, but you have also seen it, how can I calm down with this mess!"

Gu Ruchen didn't understand why the emperor told him this.

It was just years of experience that made him vigilant.

That's not a very good sign.

The emperor didn't care whether Gu Ruchen was arguing or not, or in other words, he didn't intend Gu Ruchen to say anything.

He continued to chatter on his own, and then suddenly asked, "Who does Gu Aiqing think I should hand over this throne to?"

Gu Ruchen's heart skipped a beat.

coming!

Frowning eyebrows and nodding, he said calmly: "Back to the emperor, I don't know if I should say something or not."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, suddenly became interested: "Speak."

Gu Ruchen took half a step back, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Gu family has followed the ancestral precepts for generations, and I am willing to do anything for the Emperor!"

"Therefore, no matter who your majesty prefers, it will not have any influence on the Gu family and the ministers."

The emperor's face turned slightly cold: "Gu Aiqing, do you know what you're talking about?!"

Gu Ruchen nodded.

Of course he knew.

However, the situation in the previous dynasty was ever-changing. The sixth prince, who was honored and favored earlier, had already become a prisoner more than a month ago.

Who does he dare to say he belongs to?
It really doesn't feel like life is long enough.

From the power of the dragon, it is not so easy to succeed!
Especially the person in front of him, who doesn't even have the slightest intention of delegating power...

It's better to hide all your thoughts at the bottom of the valley. Whoever becomes the emperor will not shake the foundation of the Gu family.

Seeing that Gu Ruchen didn't seem to be lying, the emperor seemed to be in a very good mood after the rain suddenly cleared.

Sitting up straight, he picked up the string of Buddhist beads that he had left aside, dangled it on his wrist for a few times, and then threw it into Gu Ruchen's arms.

"Gu Aiqing, if all my civil and military officials think like you!"

The emperor's voice carried indescribable melancholy and helplessness.

"I remember that General Gu has been guarding the border for three years. It's really hard work! General Gu has served the country, and I can see it. Go back and tell the Duke and Madam that he will be back soon. At that time, I will let Concubine Hui out of the palace. Gather with you."

Gu Ruchen quickly raised his head to look at the emperor, saw that his face was soft, and he didn't seem to be speaking ironically, so he nodded: "My minister thanked the emperor first on behalf of my father."

After Gu Ruchen left, the emperor summoned the four princes to have an audience.

After the fourth prince heard the summoned servant retreat, he got up and took out a note from the hidden compartment behind him.

The emperor is seriously ill and may collapse soon.

A few short words caused a shocking wave in his heart.

Father, he...is sick? !

When he first learned the news, he was still dazed for a moment, but as time went by, his daze gradually formed a clear and definite goal.

He seemed to be able to see himself wearing a dragon robe, surrounded by thousands of people standing on the Golden Luan Hall.

Take out a brush, paint the entire note with thick ink, crumple it into a ball and throw it into the brush washing water.

Seeing the ink blots gradually fade away, it seems that he has just calmed down a little.

It's good that only he knows about this matter.

"Father, call your son."

The fourth prince is like an actor on stage, he is good at singing and dancing.There is just the right amount of admiration on his face, neither flattering nor flattering, but just right to poke the heart of the emperor's beloved son.

"Chun'an, we, father and son, have given up on what the officials say today." The emperor pointed to the seat closest to him: "Sit."

The sixth prince sat down, but he didn't dare to sit still completely, the spine on his back was tense, and his hair was hot.

Are you going to... come?

Is the emperor going to make him the prince?

"Chun'an."

"Yes."

The sixth prince heard his voice trembling, in line with his heartbeat, again and again... overshadowing his heavy breathing.

"I remember that when you were young, you were weak and sick every day. At that time, I thought you couldn't survive. I can't believe that you are now in your thirties."

"Your mother and concubine asked for remedies everywhere for you, and even heard that Yungui used the blood of parents to keep the life of the child. So she cut her own wrist, dripped a big bowl of blood for you to drink slowly, and slapped you Big face, completely devoid of blood, but well-behaved..."

The sixth prince listened quietly.

The more you listen, the colder your heart becomes.

Even because of the emperor's description, a blood clot appeared faintly in his throat, it was fishy and sweet and made him want to vomit.

"Father, I benefited from the care of you and my concubine when I was young, and I dare not forget each other."

The sixth prince interrupted the emperor's infinite memory.

He just wanted to know, in the heart of the emperor, who exactly did he want to be on the throne.

It's him?

Or that hypocritical pure king?
Or, in the clan mansion, the second brother he was most proud of?

The sixth prince was a little restless, and it was this superficial restlessness that forced the emperor to re-examine his fourth son.

Can he really shoulder the heavy responsibility of the common people in the world?

"Chun'an, do you know what an emperor is in the eyes of the common people?"

The sixth prince's eyes dimmed, and he said without hesitation: "The person who can decide the life and death of others, and who is in charge of the government."

Everyone wants to sit in that position, but there are very few who can.

The emperor neither said it was right nor said it was wrong, but said sadly: "The Son of Heaven is a person who needs to be a good person at all times to bear the faults for the people of the world."
