fake prince

Chapter 1089
"It's very good, very good." The emperor nodded again, and looked outside the hall, as if looking at an illusory existence.

"I have always regretted what happened to the prince back then..." After a long time, the emperor spoke slowly, with a bit of remorse in his voice, and even weaker strength.

"...Now, I have given back to the grandson what should be given to him, and my heart finally feels better."

The "he" mentioned by the emperor, Qian Wei is very clear, refers to the prince.

In the old days, Qian Wei would not want to hear about this matter, after all, he knew everything about the crown prince.

But now, at first glance, the emperor is thinner again, his face is full of wrinkles, he looks haggard and weak, and his great-grandson has already been registered. At such an important and special moment, the emperor thought of what happened back then, it was reasonable, and he wanted to find someone Complaining is also very normal.

As the emperor said, there are basically no people who can listen to what he said, and there are still others, who are not suitable to listen to these words.

Qian Wei is really the most suitable candidate.

"... I have done these things, maybe what I want is peace of mind, and I also hope to choose a wise king for Dazheng, but I don't know, if I appoint this grandson, can I still go to see Taizu in peace? "

These words are very important. When the emperor said this, a place in the dark palace suddenly lit up.

Qian Wei is old, but not only does he not have presbyopia, but his eyes are extraordinarily sharp and easy to use.

From such a distance, he still saw the big thing and the light that filled two-thirds of it, but even if he saw it, it was just swept away.

Although he didn't understand what it was, he couldn't observe it carefully in front of the emperor.

When the emperor spoke, although he was sitting, his buttocks were actually slightly touching the chair, and he didn't dare to sit firmly.

Until the emperor said whether he could see Taizu safely, the deep meaning in it made Qian Wei really unable to sit still, and immediately got up and knelt down and kowtowed upward.

"The grandson has always been benevolent and filial, and he will never disappoint the emperor's great kindness. If there is a change, the minister must swear to defend the emperor to the death!"

These words are decisive, without any hesitation.

Although the emperor had some opinions on the matter of the crown prince, Qian Wei did not say that the emperor had repented and canonized the acting king as his grandson. Not to mention the same.

This is the way that Qian Wei never gave up even though he stumbled all his life.

"Your majesty is still so vicious when looking at people." Eunuch Zhao watched silently, and suddenly understood that Qian Wei was a big official, and there were many contingencies, but the unbreakable morality in his heart was still there.

Monarchs, relatives, friends, and subordinates all have norms, and they are not willing to go overboard.

Prince, Qian Wei sympathizes, and is also delighted to be crowned grandson on behalf of the king, but if the grandson oversteps any step because of this, it is absolutely unacceptable.

What Qian Wei said was actually just to reassure the emperor, because he really understood why the emperor looked old suddenly.

Even a courtier like himself who entered the palace could see that although the palace was magnificent, the atmosphere was not as good as that of Taisun's Mansion.

It has always been the emperor and the courtiers. The emperor seems to be very old. Compared with the very young grandson, which one is more worthy of getting close to such an old emperor, needless to say?

The emperor is the son of heaven, how can he not feel the changes?

The emperor who has ruled the world for 20 years will have this day. Qian Wei is really sad for the emperor, and he heard the emperor's voice above his head: "You don't need to die, I have something to tell you to do, you should get up and talk first."

"Yes."

Only then did Qian Wei get up and saw that Eunuch Zhao was no longer by the emperor's side. After a while, Eunuch Zhao came back, holding a scroll box in his hand.

Qian Wei had already realized something at this moment, and his expression became more dignified.

The emperor stood up, without the help of Eunuch Zhao, walked over step by step, and said: "This is a scroll of imperial decree. If there is nothing wrong with me, everything will be fine. If there is something wrong, you can announce it."

"Yes!" Qian Wei hurriedly knelt down again, and took the scroll box that Eunuch Zhao handed over. Although the box was not heavy, it felt like a thousand catties in his hands.

After he took the box, he naturally didn't dare to open it to check, but solemnly swore to the emperor: "Please rest assured, the emperor, I will definitely live up to the emperor's entrustment, if I fail, I will be punished by heaven and earth!"

"Seriously." The emperor smiled, but obviously, he was very satisfied with Qian Wei's attitude.

Just saying these few words, as if the emperor had exhausted a lot of energy, he waved his hand, indicating that Qian Wei could go back.

Qian Wei backed up to the door, then turned and left.

What Qian Wei didn't know was that when the figure disappeared outside the palace gate, he took a few steps back and sat down just after speaking, like an old and weak emperor, and stood up again.

But this time when he got up, he didn't look as weak as before. Although his complexion was still not very good, his spirit was obviously much stronger.

"As a cabinet minister, Qian Wei has a lot of influence. That's all. The key lies in the influence and reputation of Shilin. There is a great stream of influence from him."

"Normally, I don't need to be like this, but at this time, I have to appease one or two."

"After all, Dan Ruocheng's reputation is too bad for me. Someone must come forward to support me and tell me why I have no choice."

The emperor pondered, and found that there was no problem. He didn't care whether Qian Wei found Jiulongyi. Even if he found it, he didn't dare, let alone say it.

"Yes!"

The curtain of the main hall was pulled back, and two rows of people entered in response to the sound, all of them kneeling on the left and right with expressionless faces.

The emperor walked up to the Jiulongyi and looked at the dragon ball on it. The dragon ball was shining brightly, and the light inside was growing little by little.

Within ten steps, there were only two eunuchs waiting on them, one was Menglin Meng Gonggong and the other was Zhao Gonggong. Ma Shunde, who had always wanted to be the emperor's most trusted chief eunuch, was not among them.

Staring at the slow growth of the dragon ball, the emperor was both joyful and vigilant, and even more indescribably melancholy. He murmured, "Do you know? When I passed out, I saw Taizu."

The emperor seemed to be saying this to the nearest Meng Lin, but he was actually talking to himself.

"Taizu seems very displeased. Could it be that I was really wrong? No, even if Taizu doesn't allow it, I have made up my mind to set up such a net!"

Eunuch Zhao was a little further away, and vaguely heard the emperor talking to himself.

"A net of heaven and earth?" Eunuch Zhao just bowed his hands and moved his ears: "The great grandson has only been sealed for less than three days, and a big net has already been laid."

Eunuch Zhao didn't know the inside story, but after decades of life in the palace, he guessed nine out of ten just by looking at it, and just thought about it.

"Could it be that the time when the Dragon Balls are fully lit is when the net is closed? Back then, was the prince targeted in the same way?"

Once this thought started, there was no way to suppress it.

The figure of the prince appeared in Eunuch Zhao's mind. Although it was blurred in his memory, and he could hardly remember the facial features, but the figure became deeper and deeper at this moment.

After recovering, Eunuch Zhao saw Meng Lin standing beside the emperor.

In fact, there were not only a few eunuchs who followed the emperor back then, there was another eunuch who was trusted by the emperor's side back then.

Xu Zhong.

Eunuch Zhao suddenly had another thought: "Xu Zhong, who was with the emperor back then, disappeared suddenly after the crown prince was destroyed. No one dares to mention it so far. Will I... Will there be such a day?"

Just thinking of this possibility made Eunuch Zhao's blood run cold.
