Xiao Zhaoye had been in and out of this courtyard more than once, but only on that day could he clearly feel the solemn aura emanating from the building standing there.In the study, the servant was ordered to retreat, and the silence seemed to condense the air."
Zhaoye, you have done a great job in the past two years."
Xiao Changmao sat behind the bookcase, and the pair of pupils were still bottomless pitch black.The self-contained romance in his appearance was concealed by an unfathomable majesty, and the smile on his face was quite meaningful."
The son is dull, and he still hopes that his father will speak clearly."
Questioning as expected, Xiao Zhaoye calmly replied."
Hahaha" Xiao Changmao stood up slowly, the smile on his face was even stronger, people couldn't help but be stunned, he paced, and said slowly, "Why bother to be humble, your subordinates can be described as full of talents, Xiao Tanzhi, Xiao Chen, Qi Mu Zhenzhi, Cao Daogang, Zhou Fengshu" Xiao Zhaoye only felt that the green tendons on his temples were faintly beating, and the few names that Xiao Changmao casually said were secretly cultivated by himself, and he was the most proud henchman, he thought that his father had not yet noticed it, but now it is why, Xiao Changmao held the future and life of these people in his hands, but he didn't move for a long time, because "Father" Xiao Zhaoye interrupted Xiao Changmao's words with a solemn face."
Why can't I listen to it" Xiao Changmao stood still in front of Xiao Zhaoye, "But the dog and horse ears are also worth your disgrace" "My father called his sons and daughters, presumably with the intention of mentioning some ministers."
In this case, please let my father speak up. ”"Mention," Xiao Changmao sneered, "Yes."
In recent days, I have been mentioning it to you, don't you notice it or don't know when you became a person who has no ambitions and goes with the flow" Xiao Zhaoye's expression froze, and he asked lightly: "What does my father think his son should do?"
Fighting against the water, dark arrows and open guns, the party fights against differences, and the court resists" "The court resists the prince of the district, how to fight against the father and the king" "In this way, you have endured humiliation and heavy burdens for the past two months, and you are actually wagging your tail and begging for mercy to me" Xiao Zhaoye raised his head unevenly, opened his mouth, and did not refute after all."
If you want to say that blood is thicker than water, that's the real joke" Xiao Changmao sneered and scolded, "At this time, you are still so gentle and decisive, how can you be worthy of a great responsibility" Xiao Zhaoye's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, and his words were Tai Chi: "Father Zhuyu is in front, and the son is ashamed of himself." ”"Let me ask you, the position of the Son of Heaven, have you ever had the heart, the responsibility of the people, you may bear it" "The sons don't dare" "Here is the only father and son, but it doesn't hurt to say it" Xiao Changmao's sharp gaze pointed directly at the man in front of him."
The emperor's grandfather is blessed with the sky, and he lives with the sky, how dare his sons and sons trespass" Xiao Zhaoye's face did not change and faced the gaze that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, "The sons and daughters dare to persuade, even if the father is the prince, he should not privately discuss the supreme position" "Okay" Hearing this, Xiao Changmao laughed loudly, the laughter was as daunting as the fall of a, but it was as reckless as the raging river tide.Xiao Zhaoye just looked at the current form silently."
Pity the corporal, the way of the officer.Knowing the advance and retreat, the way to be a minister.Emphasis on love and righteousness, and the righteousness of filial piety.Be cautious in words and deeds, and self-cultivation is also.Yasheng has a saying: The gentleman leads but does not start, and leaps as well.Zhaoye, now that you have the world in mind, you will feel at ease as a father. ”Xiao Changmao patted the man's broad shoulder, and the smile in his eyes did not decrease, "Yuru Yucheng, my father suppressed you like this, and I hope you don't have resentment." ”"Erchen doesn't dare."
Xiao Zhaoye was full of doubts and had no choice but to respond.Xiao Changmao walked to the window, stretched out his hand to push, and asked with a smile, "Six years ago, you were standing under this window and eavesdropping on my conversation with Young Master Wang" Xiao Zhaoye was shocked in his heart, and when he wanted to cover up the past, he had already missed half a beat."
There's no need to hide it."
Xiao Changmao looked at the peach blossoms outside the window and said with a smile, "The half of the figure reflected in the window lattice six years ago was not you but who it was" "That's the case, what my father said at that time" "I said it to you." ”Xiao Changmao turned around slowly, "The Wang family is illustrious, and it is true that we have to guard against it, but the so-called death of the noble mother is an exaggeration."
One is to remind you to guard against your relatives, and the other is to consider your heart.If I am not mistaken, in order to protect the princess, you gave up your children's personal feelings.At that time, you knew the trade-off, and in recent years, I think it has grown a lot. ”Xiao Changmao didn't seem to notice that the man's face was gradually pale, and he could barely stand up.He said to himself, but he didn't expect that one day in the future, his always conceited wisdom would be crushed by the fact that his most proud son knew the trade-off, but he refused to give up."
You can rest assured, I called you here today, not to ask the teacher to ask for sin.Father just wants to talk openly and honestly with you, after all, there may not be such an opportunity in the future. ”"What does my father mean by this" Xiao Zhaoye Fang turned around from the whirlpool of memories and asked in surprise."
Poison into the five internal organs, just a person who is about to die."
Xiao Changmao smiled self-deprecatingly, "The imperial doctor said that I have at most one year left to live." ”"Father" Xiao Zhaoye's eyes widened, only to feel that his brain was confused, and he couldn't speak."
You also know in your heart that your father is dying, and he has experienced the pain of losing his son, and his health is not as good as before.Although you are young, fortunately, you have a city in your heart, and the power that your father has cultivated over the years is a guarantee, so I asked you if you can have the position of the Son of Heaven in your heart, not a temptation.If you have the heart to fight with your second uncle, one day you will ascend to the throne. ”This time, Xiao Zhaoye didn't rush to deny it, he listened in a daze, just listened."
You have been involved in politics for more than five years, and all kinds of clever deeds are in the eyes of your imperial grandfather and all the ministers.You are the material to govern the world" Xiao Changmao looked at the eldest son in front of him, and his eyes contained a rare gentleness, "In the past two months, I have suppressed you, although I have a test of your depth, and more importantly, I have created the illusion of discord between our father and son, so that outsiders think that the power you have cultivated is no longer to be afraid of under my heavy blows."
With this scene in disguise, it will be much smoother for me to secretly transfer power to you.After I die, you can stay away from partisanship, keep your head in the dark, and be ready to go. ”"Who poisoned it" Xiao Zhaoye suddenly met his father's gaze, and his fists exerted force, clenching the "sloppy" sound."
Three months ago, when the imperial doctor diagnosed this poison, I ordered a secret investigation into the culprit.It's a pity that I still don't have a clue.The imperial doctor said that this was aconitum poison.The drug maker is clever in his methods, turning poison into invisible, and he has never been able to find out how he poisoned.However, the person who poisoned the poison was cautious and meticulous, thinking that it was necessary to apply it continuously for more than half a month in a very small dose to spread the toxin to the meridians of the whole body.From this point of view, the person who gave the poison should be in the house.After my death, you will respect your mother as the queen mother, and as for the rest of the people in the palace, if you can't bear to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, you must not leave them in the capital. ”Seeing Xiao Zhaoye's eyes flickering, Xiao Changmao added, "Don't be kind to women" and "Sons obey orders." ”"Prince, Yuzhang Wangfu sent someone to ask to see you."
A proclamation sounded outside the door."
Your excuse to leave the house is here."
Xiao Changmao smiled faintly and commanded in a loud voice, "Bring people to the side hall and wait." ”"Zhaoye," Xiao Changmao smiled slyly, "I would like to take this opportunity to try those people under your command who keep saying but have orders and will never give up" "What does your father mean" "If you are trapped in the East Palace, the dragons will have no leader."
At that time, those who were single-minded in their savior were faithful; Those who act carefully are material; Those who are timid are foolish; But those who seek self-preservation, Yu; Those who surrender to me, treacherous.This life is full of variety, but it is colorful and good-looking. ”"It's indeed a rare opportunity" Xiao Zhaoye nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "It's just that Erchen wants to send someone to send a message back to the palace to explain the reason to the princess, so as not to cause chaos in the mansion." ”"If the news is leaked out because of this, won't it be a failure" Xiao Changmao shook his head in disagreement, "Even if you raise your eyebrows on weekdays, it is difficult to protect the same bed and different dreams."
This temptation can also know the attitude of the He family. ”"Yes.Erchen understood. ”Xiao Zhaoye promised, but when it came time to send the man, he still pointed to the man who was dressed as a servant and had a refined appearance, and ordered, "You, apologize to the princess on behalf of the king." ”The understatement of "princess", in such a context, others heard, of course, referring to the host "Princess Yuzhang".The man's face did not change, and he respectfully accepted the order and retreated.Xiao Zhaoye knew that his stay in the East Palace would cause speculation from the outside world, and he happened to wait all day to watch Xiao Changmao's life.It's just why, why do you want to send a doorman whom he admires so much He told himself that this is to prevent Xiao Changmao from saying everything today under the guise of winning his trust, with Ma Cheng here, the eyeliner of the East Palace can be mobilized, and he can still get in touch with the outside world at any time Although he has long been convinced of all this, though, when he stretched out his finger to point at Ma Cheng, a thought flashed quickly in his mind: In this way, the connection with her will not be broken
