The prince knew very well that after the Qiuyue Valley Fighting Conference, he would select willing monks to go to the southeast to participate in the war. When the war in the southeast was over, the emperor would abdicate the throne to him. Seeing that everything was going to fall into place, but now The flat ground creates waves, and sudden changes occur!
The more he felt that the throne was right in front of him, the more unwilling Zhao Hanqing felt, and the less he could keep his calmness. Several twists and turns, several times when the throne was far in front of him and then suddenly drifted far away, made him feel that he was close at hand but out of reach. Feelings of frustration and pain.
He does not love power, he does not covet wealth, but his ambition and passion need power and wealth to help him realize it!
Only when he climbs to the throne of the Nine-Five Supreme Being above tens of millions of people can he show off his grand ambitions!
He traveled all over China and saw too many people living in dire straits under the rule of corrupt officials. He also saw too many major sects lying on the people's bodies to suck blood and swell.
He wants to change all this, and he wants the people under his rule to live a good life.
But he can only do all this if he climbs to the throne!
He cannot fail!
Absolutely not! !
The prince's voice trembled slightly, and everyone felt his unwillingness and fear. Xiao Yueping on the side suddenly whispered: "What should we do at this time?"
Although this was an ordinary question, both Ning Tongyi and Gu Cangping detected a hint of danger in his twinkling eyes.
Gu Cangping's heart skipped a beat, he stared at Xiao Yueping with extremely stern eyes, and whispered: "No matter what, you should go to the palace first!"
Xiao Yueping also lowered his voice and whispered: "What if this is a scam? What if the fourth prince deceives His Highness into the palace?"
Gu Cangping was speechless, and Ning Tongyi frowned even more. He sneered, "I'm sorry he doesn't dare!"
Xiao Yueping immediately said: "You dare to judge that a dog will jump over the wall in a hurry?"
Ning Tongyi was dumbfounded: Yes, the fourth prince has basically lost everything now. There was no hope left. But at this time, such a big thing happened in Qiuyue Valley!
When the fourth prince saw hope, he took a risk and used a trick to trick the prince into the palace to cause trouble in the Shenjing Palace. So what should he do
Moreover, who dares to guarantee this kind of thing
While the three great thinkers were staring at each other, Zhang Datong, who had been closing his eyes to recuperate, suddenly opened his eyes. He said slowly: "You must enter the palace. However, your highness can ask the princess to accompany you. Enter the palace to avoid any unexpected events."
"Yes! What a good plan!" Gu Cangping was delighted and whispered, "Teacher is right!"
Zhao Hanqing nodded: "Nagu will enter the palace now."
Zhang Datong didn't wait for him to move, grabbed his arm, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, remember! You must endure extraordinary things at extraordinary times!"
Zhao Hanqing nodded heavily. He walked to Zhao Feiyue and hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Feiyue looked at him and whispered: "Third brother, I will accompany you."
Zhao Hanqing was stunned for a moment, and then he let out a long sigh: "Little sister, third brother really doesn't want you to get involved."
Zhao Feiyue forced a smile and said: "I also want to see my father and ask him to ask the Royal Forest Army to search for his whereabouts."
Zhao Hanqing nodded and said, "Well, let's go together."
After the two discussed it, they took a bus to Shenwu Palace together.
When the two of them came outside the palace, they saw that the Royal Forest Guards and the Royal Forest Blood Guards outside surrounded the huge palace with three floors inside and three floors outside, making it almost impenetrable.
There are almost one sentry every meter on the city wall inside the palace, and the torches are lit like a long burning dragon. On the balconies every fifty meters on the city wall, there are Shattering Crossbows, Divine Machine Raging Cannons, Stepping Hundred Oxen Crossbows, and Demon-Breaking God Arm Bows. Everything is ready, and as long as there is any slightest hint of enemy intelligence, they will be met with an overwhelming and terrifying attack.
Even Zhao Feiyue and Zhao Hanqing were put into the inner palace after numerous interrogations and inspections. The two were led by the eunuch Huang Eunuch to a remote palace and finally saw the person. The supreme emperor of the Nine Five Years, Zhao Bairen.
Although the last time they saw the emperor was no more than ten days apart, this time they met again, Zhao Feiyue and Zhao Hanqing felt that he seemed a little older, with more white hair than before, and his face looked older, and his eye sockets The dent is also deeper.
There were candles everywhere in the huge palace, and Zhao Bairen was almost surrounded by a dense sea of candles of various colors, making him look like he was surrounded by firelight.
Zhao Bairen sat blankly among the candles, his pale face seemed to be slightly bloodier due to the light, but his figure looked more and more lonely.
"Your Majesty, the prince and princess have arrived." Eunuch Huang's sharp voice rang out in the palace, waking up Zhao Bairen, whose eyes were dull.
Zhao Bairen groaned, turned his head, and struggled to stand up with the help of the maid on the side.
Zhao Hanqing couldn't bear to see it, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him. He learned from the reports from the palace's informants: Ever since Concubine Ming betrayed the regicide, Zhao Bairen's condition has gone from bad to worse. He often stares at no one in a daze, and sometimes becomes depressed. He murmured loudly, obviously not getting over the blow of Concubine Ming's betrayal.
Zhao Bairen walked tremblingly to Zhao Feiyue and Zhao Hanqing. He first looked Zhao Feiyue up and down carefully, then held her hand and said softly: "Okay, Yue'er will be fine, just fine!"
Zhao Feiyue was about to ask the emperor to send someone to search for Li Chengfeng's whereabouts, but at this time Zhao Bairen had already let go of her hand and turned to look at Zhao Hanqing.
Zhao Feiyue had no choice but to swallow her words again.
Zhao Bairen glanced at Zhao Hanqing coldly and said coldly: "Do you know you were wrong?"
Zhao Hanqing knelt down with a groan and said with a face full of pain: "My son... I am guilty!"
Zhao Bairen snorted coldly and said: "Things that have never happened to me in five hundred years have actually happened in your hands!"
Zhao Hanqing couldn't say a word because the emperor had thrown the blame away. Who asked him to stand out in the fighting games again and again before
Zhao Bairen flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "Go to the Chongyang Palace and copy the "Book of Filial Piety" a hundred times in front of our ancestors!"
The Filial Piety Classic does not have many words, about 2,000 words, but if you read it a hundred times, it is still 200,000 words. If you copy it with a brush, you can really break your wrist.
But Zhao Hanqing didn't dare to say another word, so he kowtowed twice and turned around to leave.
Seeing this, Zhao Feiyue opened her mouth and was about to speak, but Zhao Bairen waved his hands with a look of exhaustion and said: "I know what you are worried about. People cannot be sent. If you want to find it, you can find it yourself."
Zhao Feiyue was speechless, but she looked at Zhao Hanqing's figure, and for a moment, there was a battle between heaven and man in her mind!
On one hand, she was worried about the safety and whereabouts of her lover, but on the other hand, she was concerned about the safety of her beloved third brother. At this time, she really didn't dare to leave Zhao Hanqing's side easily.
After struggling and hesitating for a long time, Zhao Feiyue gritted his teeth and whispered: "I'll go accompany Third Brother."
Zhao Bairen did not stop him, but looked at Zhao Feiyue's leaving figure with complicated and twinkling eyes.
Zhao Feiyue came to the Chongyang Palace and saw a long row of memorial tablets and shrines of ancestors in the Chongyang Palace. In front of each shrine, there were everlasting lanterns and long live incense, and the light smell of incense ash filled the air. In this palace, I suddenly feel a sense of tranquility.
Zhao Hanqing knelt down alone in front of the memorial tablets of his ancestors, and quietly copied the "Book of Filial Piety". When Zhao Feiyue took a closer look, he saw that there were lines written on the fine white deer paper, with fonts written on them. Timeless and vigorous, ancient and clumsy.
Zhao Feiyue didn't say anything, and quietly came to Zhao Hanqing's side, calling two soft cushions for him to place under him, while she gently spread paper and polished ink on the side.
Zhao Hanqing was copying the "Book of Filial Piety" without squinting. The two of them continued in silence for five hours. It was not until the sky outside turned from dusk to night, and then from night to day, that there was a soft creak outside the palace. There was a sound.
Zhao Feiyue turned around and saw an old and thin figure standing at the door. She immediately stood up and said: "Father!"
Zhao Hanqing was startled, immediately dropped his pen, knelt on the ground, and said: "Father!"
Zhao Bairen came in gently. He gently touched Zhao Feiyue's head with his hand and said softly: "Yue'er, please go out. Father has something to say to the third child."
Zhao Feiyue glanced at Zhao Hanqing with some worry, but saw Zhao Hanqing nodded slightly towards her, indicating that she should not worry, so she nodded and went out, gently closing the palace door for the two of them.
Zhao Hanqing raised his head slightly at this time and looked at Zhao Bairen anxiously, but he saw the morning sun outside shining on Zhao Bairen's body, making him unable to see clearly the facial expressions, as if he had the majestic and unpredictable emperor's heart!
He knew that his fate would be revealed at this moment!
