fake prince

Chapter 1011
Imperial Palace·Qinhua Palace

Located in the corner of the imperial city, with many palaces and halls, it is very secluded and deep
Eunuch Zhao, Huo Wuyong, Xue Ming and others retreated silently. At this time, the sky was high and cold, the autumn wind was blowing, and a round of moon covered the entire hall with mercury. Only the eunuch stood expressionlessly in the darkness with his hands down. Among them, it seems to be the little ghost of the judge in the temple, which is shocking.

A figure sat in front of the table, watching the clear fragrance wafting from the stove, meditating in the cool night wind that soaked into the spleen.

After a long time, a burst of light burst out, and a candle on the table lit up.

In the large and quiet side hall, instead of being brightened by this candlelight, it was even more gloomy.

The face in front of the candle was illuminated, it was the emperor.

The emperor's face was already full of old age, it was fine during the day, because the aura was not so obvious, but under this candlelight, it looked pale and gloomy.

"The Dai Wang has already received the reward, but the fortune hasn't changed much?"

The emperor held a ball of paper in his right hand, hesitated, and finally spread his hand slowly by candlelight.

In the slightly withered palm lay a piece of crumpled paper.

Slowly unfolding the paper on the table, the words on it were blurred by the candlelight, which dazzled his eyes again.

"It should be true." The emperor's voice was so soft that only he could hear it. There was almost no emotion in the voice. If one looked closely, one could even discern a trace of excitement.

"Isn't it just the dragon following the dragon?"

"It's just that I'm old now, and the situation is worse than it was back then, and there's already been a change of fate, so when I get to where I am now, maybe there will be more obstacles?" The emperor narrowed his eyes, and the top-secret conversation just now took place here .

This is the main hall where top-secret matters are discussed. There are various precautions. Let alone living people, even ghosts and gods must not invade and leak. At the same time, meetings are also conducted in batches. There is only one person at a time, and the monarch and his ministers discuss privately. Naturally, they exchanged secretly A lot of information.

The emperor also knew that this was going against the sky, and it was the second time. There might be a lot of obstacles, and the alchemy might fail.

Secondly, the Dai Wang was rewarded, and the weather didn’t change much. The specific investigation required a special magic weapon. Of course, Huo Wuyong and others were questioned, and they mistakenly thought that the emperor asked about the Dai Wang’s equipment, and they answered cautiously. In fact, the Dai Wang is now. He has the appearance of a prince, but that's all. He is on the same level as the king of Qi and the king of Shu, and he is not outstanding.

The emperor thought of the meeting just now, pondered, rubbed his fingers lightly under a line of words, and paused there slightly.

"Dai Wang is still far from being called a dragon. For specific supervision, do you still need magic tools?"

Snapped!
The candle jumped lightly for some reason, and under the suddenly brightened candlelight, the old emperor's eyes were filled with coldness, and he was silent for a long time before moving again.

He gripped the paper tightly again, squeezed it into a ball, held it tightly in his palm, and called softly, "Meng Lin."

In the quiet side hall where only one person was originally there, a figure appeared like a ghost, bowed his head in front of the old emperor, and said respectfully: "The old slave is here."

If the eunuch who had seen this person before saw it, he would be surprised.

This is an old eunuch who only occasionally shows up beside the emperor. His actual age cannot be discerned from his appearance, and his martial arts should be excellent. When he hides his figure, people can't easily notice it, and when he comes out, he is even more silent, which makes people can't help Curious, where do you usually hide.

This huge and deep palace, because of the appearance of people, makes people feel that secrets may be hidden everywhere, ghostly and mysterious.

"Meng Lin." The emperor called his name again: "Look at this."

The old eunuch stepped forward with low eyebrows, took the paper from the emperor with both hands, took a quick look, sent it back respectfully, and stepped back to stand still.

"I remember, this magic weapon has existed before, is it in my inner treasury?" the old emperor asked.

The old eunuch replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, this magic weapon is the Nine Dragons Orb, which belongs to the previous dynasty. It is indeed stored in the No. A inner warehouse."

"Take it out of the inner treasury, you make dragon balls according to the paper, and..." The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly: "Quickly obtain the blood and hair of the king, this matter is left to you, don't let me Disappointed."

Although the matter involved the king, the old eunuch replied calmly: "Please rest assured, the emperor, this old slave will definitely finish this matter as soon as possible."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Let's go now. Don't waste time. The sooner the better." The emperor waved his hand and asked the old eunuch to step down.

"Wait a minute." After walking a few steps, the emperor suddenly stopped.

"Dai Wang Mansion, have you been watched by others?" the emperor asked, the emperor was suspicious, even if Eunuch Zhao and the Imperial City Secretary supervised the Dai Wang Mansion, there were other hidden clues, Eunuch Meng was one of the emperor's trump cards.

Even if the emperor trusts him, he doesn't like to listen to one side's words. He likes to hear different people report the same thing, and then compare the things together.

After all, when a once mighty tiger's teeth are no longer so sharp and its claws are blunt, in order to continue to maintain its position, it will often do things that even its past self would despise.

Meng Lin's expression did not change, and he answered seriously: "Your Majesty, there are indeed some changes in Dai Wang's mansion. Dai Wang has decided to exile a group of people to Zhuangzi and other properties. There are hundreds of people."

"Oh? There are so many people? Tell me carefully." The emperor was a little interested and asked him to explain in detail.

Meng Lin bowed: "It was the last time when Ma Shunde surrounded Daiwang's mansion at night and wanted to search the people in the mansion, there was some commotion in Daiwang's mansion."

"Many people panicked and failed to do their duty faithfully. Some even wanted to report to live on behalf of the king, and even wanted to get rich."

"The old servants who were placed in Dai Wang's mansion all saw these things in their eyes, and the facts are correct. Therefore, Dai Wang decided to exile these people."

No matter who you tell this matter to, you won't think Dai Wang is wrong.

After all, Dai Wang is fine now, but those people really want to betray the Lord.

Even if the emperor himself had a complicated attitude towards the acting king, he was mainly vigilant and didn't really treat him like a grandson, but when he heard about this, his first reaction would never be that these people did the right thing.

Those in power will only hate such slaves against the master even more, although the emperor is the ultimate beneficiary.

"Hmph, I'm still a little self-conscious, and I know how to clear out some incompetent people and those who betrayed the master." The emperor felt a little satisfied, and shook his head again: "It's just too magnanimous. Let it go lightly?"

The emperor commented on this sentence.

Meng Lin lowered his head, standing in front of the emperor like a wooden sculpture of clay, and did not respond to the emperor's words.

And the emperor really didn't want him to respond, so after finishing speaking, he asked in a deep voice, "Is there anyone else in Daiwang's mansion?"

This question is to ask Meng Lin, and the question is not referring to anything else, but to the person Meng Lin has placed in the Dai Palace.

Meng Lin bowed to listen, and immediately answered: "Your Majesty, although a large number of people will be cleared out from the Daiwang Palace, those who will be cleared out are those who are not strong-willed, and most of them are those who were placed in the Daiwang Palace by the Kings of Shu and Qi. Eyeliner, but the people inserted by the imperial court are different. They are all determined people, and when they are not given tasks, they are all based on showing loyalty, so there are still three people in Daiwangfu. Please rest assured, the emperor, they will definitely Complete the assignment."

The emperor was finally satisfied, and nodded his head: "That's good, finish this matter quickly, let's go down."

With a wave of his hand, Meng Lin was really let down.

The old eunuch saluted the emperor respectfully, it seemed that he didn't go out directly through the gate, but disappeared into the darkness again, and there was no sound in a blink of an eye.

In the main hall, the emperor stared at the faint candlelight and looked again, and then with a pop, the candlelight went out.
