Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, there was an eerie silence in the palace.

The sixth prince tried hard to suppress his breathing, not daring to let the emperor notice by letting out a breath.

But after a while, he felt that his back was soaked with sweat and became cold.

But the matter was related to whether his own people could control the military power. Even if the sixth prince felt that the atmosphere in the hall was depressing, he still tried his best to squeeze out a sentence.

"Father, the matter in the southwest must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the Dog Rong will secretly attack the border while we are not paying attention."

The emperor's expression was unmoved, and his voice was extremely cold and authentic: "Quirong has negotiated peace with Dajing, and he will not quarrel with Dajing again in a short time."

"Lao Liu, I know that you are very concerned about the rebellion in the southwest, but some things are not as simple as you think. Instead of focusing on irrelevant people, you might as well go to the southwest directly."

The emperor spoke slowly at the end, but the sixth prince felt a biting chill.

He suddenly understood that the emperor had noticed his little move, and this sentence was specifically a warning to him.

His pupils shrank in shock and he lowered his head even lower, not daring to let the emperor see the change in expression on his face.

"My son understands what my father means. Please rest assured, my father will do his best to suppress the rebellion in the southwest."

The sixth prince felt that he could no longer stay in the emperor's presence, otherwise he would be deterred by the emperor's powerful aura from coming up with all kinds of petty thoughts.

So he solemnly expressed his feelings to the emperor and quickly left the Taiji Hall. As soon as he came out, he met King Duan.

Seeing Prince Duan turn his attention, the Sixth Prince immediately snorted coldly, but his voice was deliberately lowered so that only he could hear it.

"My father already knows your purpose of coming. I don't think my father will see you this time. You'd better go back early, so as not to make my father angry by staying here."

When Prince Duan heard this, his face instantly turned cold, and his eyes when he looked at the Sixth Prince were filled with anger.

"What did you say in front of my father? Lao Liu, do you really want to go against me?"

The more Prince Duan talked, the angrier he became, and the Sixth Prince quickly walked in.

He was a head taller than the Sixth Prince, and being so close to him directly put pressure on him.

The Sixth Prince pursed his thin lips slightly, his eyes dark.

After a moment, he smiled sarcastically and said, "I'm not going against you. I'm just telling you something. Whether you want to hear it or not is up to you."

After saying these words, the Sixth Prince turned around and left without wanting to look at Prince Duan again.

King Duan did not stop him this time, but stared at him for a long time.

Until he could no longer be seen, King Duan was ready to see the emperor.

At this time, Su Dequan came out and said to him respectfully: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has very important things to deal with today, so Your Highness should go back first. If you have anything to do, you can come back to see Your Majesty tomorrow."

When King Duan heard this, a coldness flashed in his eyes, but there was a smile on his face: "Su Daban, what did the sixth man just say in front of the father?"

After Su Dequan heard this, his attitude towards King Duan became more respectful, but he did not answer King Duan. He just made a gesture of invitation and asked King Duan to leave.

Seeing his attitude, King Duan had to suspect that the sixth prince complained in front of the emperor, which made the emperor unwilling to see him.

A fire arose in his heart, and his eyes became very cold.

However, this was the Taiji Palace, and he did not dare to get angry at Su Dequan, nor did he dare to threaten him, lest the emperor would reprimand him when he found out.

"I understand, you can go and do your work."

His expression returned to normal, King Duan turned around and went to the harem.

Although he suspected that the sixth prince was complaining in front of the emperor, after what happened with Chen Changli, he felt that he still had to see Concubine Xue to ask her to pay more attention to the goings-on in the harem, so as not to be caught by other concubines and take advantage of her.

Concubine Xue had nothing to do today and made a special trip to Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu brought her a piece of news, which she thought was unreasonable, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt it was normal.

She returned to the palace and prepared to send people to invite King Duan and tell him the news.

Unexpectedly, their mother and son were connected, and Prince Duan came to the palace to visit her today.

Concubine Xue was very happy when she saw King Duan. She ordered people to prepare the food that King Duan liked to eat. She quickly pulled the person beside her and looked him up and down.

"What have you been busy with recently? Why do you look like you've lost a lot of weight?" After looking at her, Concubine Xue's eyes turned red with distress.

Prince Duan didn't think he had lost weight, but when Concubine Xue said so, he took it that way.

"Mother, I have been keeping an eye on the prince recently. What he and Chen Changli did completely drove Liu Feng to a dead end."

"Now that Liu Feng has been arrested, his descendants are on the run, but I always feel that Liu Feng still has a lot of backup plans. If the prince continues to pursue the case, it will definitely cause greater trouble."

When Prince Duan told the story about the prince, his brows twisted into a knot unconsciously.

"The prince has some abilities, and Chen Changli is also very capable. If these two join forces, I am no match for him."

"Concubine, is there any way you can suppress the prince?"

Although King Duan had many staff, they did not have the same ideas.

He felt a headache listening to their conversation, but he had to think more about the ideas they gave, and then use these ideas to harm the prince and other brothers.

"If I had my way, why would you need your uncle and cousins ​​to help you?"

After listening to King Duan's words, Concubine Xue poked him on the forehead angrily.

"But why are you so impatient? Liu Feng is a remnant of the previous dynasty. I heard that his family rebelled in the southwest. The prince's ability is good, but the Liu family's affairs are enough to make him anxious. If he doesn't handle it properly, you If you do something here, your father might completely hate the prince."

"So this is your chance. You shouldn't be impatient. My son, tell me the truth. Have you done anything else recently?"

Concubine Xue looked at Prince Duan with some suspicion as she spoke, as if she was sure that Prince Duan was hiding something from her.

"I just want to gain military power. That hateful guy Chen Changli won't cooperate with me at all. My other brothers are also watching covetously. The situation in the southwest is not good. I really don't know how to gain military power."

"Mother and concubine, we all know how long our father can live at this age. Why doesn't he still accept his old age?"

"If he had made a decision soon, I wouldn't be so anxious."

King Duan mentioned the emperor as soon as he finished speaking, and his handsome face was full of ferocious contortions.

Obviously for the sake of the throne, he was happy to directly find a way to get the emperor to abdicate in his favor.

However, the emperor had military power in his hands, and the capital was firmly under his control.

Even if King Duan had the courage, he did not have the strength to confront the emperor. This was the fundamental reason why he wanted to gain military power.

Concubine Xue sighed after hearing this: "Your father cares too much about the rights in his hands, otherwise the prince's current situation would not be so bad."

Prince Duan turned green when he heard this: "Concubine, are you sympathizing with the prince? Why?"
