The young emperor's words made Wang Liulang's heart sink involuntarily.

He thought of his good friend Kang Deyi in his previous life. Because he was framed and involved in the assassination of the emperor, his whole family was sent to Shanglin Prison.

And when he entered the palace to intercede with the evidence he collected enough to prove the innocence of his friend's family, the emperor, who was still a boy at that time, sat high on the cold dragon chair.

he said,

"Little uncle, what if I would rather kill by mistake?"

Just such a casual sentence, completely ignoring the evidence he collected so hard, the next day there were no more than 60 members of the Kang family alive.

Is it still too late even if I come again?

The color of Wang Muzhi's gentle and jade-like face faded in an instant, perhaps because he was hit by his own thoughts, disheartened, he barely maintained his demeanor and retreated, then returned to the carriage in a daze, and left the palace in the carriage.

When I got back to Wang's house, it was already extremely dark, and when I got off the carriage, I almost lost my footing due to distraction, but fortunately, I was supported by the driver with sharp eyes and quick hands.

"Liulang-jun, what's wrong with you?" The carriage driver looked at Wang Muzhi in surprise and asked.

"It's okay, let's go to God for a while."

This moment of weightlessness brought Wang Muzhi back to his senses. After speaking, he straightened his clothes and walked towards the gate.

After entering the gate, Wang Muzhi walked along the main courtyard. He stopped at the gate and asked the servants guarding the gate, "Father, is he going to sleep now?"

"I just drank the medicine and haven't slept yet. I said I'm waiting for Mr. Liulang to come back." The guard replied. "The old lady has orders, Mr. Liulang, you can just go in."

Wang Muzhi nodded and stepped into the main courtyard.

The servants and maids passing by along the way saluted one after another. When Wang Muzhi walked to the main room, the door was not closed, but the bamboo curtain was lowered.

"Liu Langjun." The maid at the door saluted, and then lifted the curtain to let him pass.

"Cough cough cough—" the old man coughed hoarsely from inside the room, and then he seemed to be ordering someone, "Go outside and have a look, but Mr. Liu Lang is back?"

Wang Muzhi quickened his pace, just as the maid inside came out. Seeing him busy smiling and saluting, Wang Muzhi raised his hand to signal his excuse, and then walked quickly towards the inner room.

Taking advantage of the faint yellow candlelight, he saw the white-haired old man slowly changing from lying down to half-sitting on the head of the bed with the help of the maidservants.

For some reason, Wang Muzhi suddenly thought of the young emperor's white hair, which was implied to be ominous.

It is taken for granted that people with gray hair when they are old, but it is unknown when they are young.

Obviously, the young emperor's gray hair is most likely due to a mutation caused by the queen being poisoned when she was pregnant. However, the former emperor knew the truth, but still blindly believed in the ominous prophecy.

It ended up being a bitter fruit.

The young emperor does not lack the ability to govern the country, and it can even be said that he has a long-term vision. If everything was not thrown into the abandoned palace as unknown at the beginning, he might not be able to become a generation of Mingjun.

Unfortunately, the day the young emperor walked out of the abandoned palace with a heart of revenge, it was too late.

Wang Muzhi sighed, walked to the bed and stood still, bowing, "Father, the child is back."

Mrs. Wang looked up at him, raised her hand and beckoned, "Mu Zhi, come and sit down."

"Yes." Wang Muzhi put down his hands, the maid moved a chair to the bed, Wang Muzhi walked over and sat down.

"Your Majesty, is he injured?" As soon as Wang Liulang sat down, Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to ask. Although his face looked old, his eyes were sharp and extraordinary.

"Your Majesty...he asked me to tell my father that he is fine." Wang Liulang replied.

Old Master Wang noticed that Wang Muzhi's expression was different, "Why, did you encounter other things during your trip to the palace?"

"There is one person, I can't understand what he does, and I even know that what he does will bring disaster to others." Wang Muzhi paused, "But because of my status, I can't hurt him, and I can't blame him. I should How to prevent the disaster he is about to bring?"

Old Mrs. Wang frowned, "How do you know that he will bring disaster? Is he bringing disaster out of intention or by accident?"

"I'm just assuming." Wang Muzhi passed vaguely, "but the source of this disaster should be that he did it deliberately."

"You're talking about Your Majesty." Old Master Wang's eyes were burning. "Tell me, what did you see when you entered the palace?"

"I can't hide it from my father." Facing his father's sharp eyes, Wang Muzhi couldn't help but smiled wryly, and then told about everything after entering the palace.

"I just feel that he seems to be lacking in kindness, which may bring disaster to Beiyan."

After Wang Liulang finished speaking, he couldn't help but smiled wryly in his heart. It wasn't a possibility, it was a fact that he had experienced.

Old Mrs. Wang lowered her face, "You think he is not kind enough, then have you ever thought about who taught him kindness and love when he was growing up?"

Mr. Wang Liulang was stunned by this rhetorical question. The young man grew up in the abandoned palace, and there was only one eunuch by his side. Even the Wang family could only occasionally support him secretly.

However, the young man was a taboo of the former court and harem, and even the royal family could not mention it in front of the former emperor. Once it was known that he had been in contact with each other, the young man would definitely face the death threat from the former emperor.

The late emperor's benevolence was limited to those who did not pose any threat to him.

"No one in the whole palace has taught him, including your eldest sister."

"As a queen, if she is more courageous, she can take care of your young majesty." The old man Wang coughed a few times because of excitement, and Wang Muzhi quickly reached out and patted his back to smooth him.

"In the name of a mother, the first emperor would never do anything to her, nor would he be jealous of the Wang family."

"But she dared not."

"One of the things I, Wang Hongji, regret most in my life is to allow your mother to raise your eldest sister into such a cowardly appearance, without the slightest demeanor of a daughter of a family."

"Father, don't get angry." Seeing that his father's face was flushed with anger, Wang Muzhi quickly poured tea and handed it over.

"Drink a sip of tea to calm down, the doctor said, try not to get angry."

Old Mrs. Wang took a sip, and then put the tea on the small table beside the bed, "I know, you have always disliked His Majesty, and thought that the Wang family should not support him, but should support the third prince from your eldest sister."

"The third prince is extremely intelligent, with a gentle and gentle personality." Wang Muzhi was a little confused, "And he is still a legitimate prince. I don't understand why father would take risks?"

"Why take the risk?" Old Master Wang said with a sullen face, "It's just because the Third Prince is not as good as His Majesty. He sounds honest and gentle, but he is actually a timid and soft-hearted person like your eldest sister. In the future, he will not be able to secure that position in the face of many powerful princes from his mother's family."

"And Your Majesty, from the very beginning of his contact with the Wang family, he has demonstrated his ability and ambition. Such a person should be supported by my Wang family."

"But father..." Wang Muzhi raised his head to meet Mrs. Wang's gaze, "Have you ever thought about what bad luck he will bring to this country when he ascends to the throne with a vengeful heart?"

"You don't have to be too scared about this." The old man Wang waved his hand, "At least that child is still a bit soft-hearted, at least on the day he forced the palace, he left their mother and child three years ago for the sake of your elder sister's kneeling to the first emperor. Human life, and the little prince who was still in his infancy was spared."

Normally speaking, the Third Prince, who was the former prince, was the one who was most likely to threaten his throne because of his justifiable pretext.

But the child was let go because of the reward for the queen's gift of childbearing and the only kneeling that she mustered up courage for.

Mr. Wang Liulang was stunned. In his "previous" impression, that person was a cold-blooded and ruthless tyrant. He never thought that the other party would also have a soft heart, and he never thought about the other party's reason for keeping the prince.

"Prejudice is the most likely to confuse people's eyes." The old man Wang seemed to be extremely tired, he closed his eyes, "If you want to change your guess, the disaster that is about to be brought about by His Majesty in the Northern Yan Kingdom, then You should get to know him well first, see clearly the cause and nature of the matter, and then try to find a way to change it.”

"But he doesn't think it's a disaster?"

Old Mrs. Wang closed her eyes and said, "Then let him know what consequences his actions will bring."

Mr. Wang Liulang showed a look of sudden realization, and he got up to salute: "My child is educated."

He remembered the day when he broke into the palace and knocked the young emperor unconscious and took him out of the palace.

It was the first time he saw the young emperor's expression other than violent and indifferent, but such a complex expression was fleeting, and he didn't even have time to understand it.

He only cared about being angry at the boy's "indifference."

Later, after returning to the palace, the young man became more and more "violent" in revenge, and in less than half a month, the throne of Beiyan Kingdom was changed.

The speed was so fast that there seemed to be no resistance, and the rebel army just entered the palace.

The young emperor committed suicide by taking poison on the dragon chair, as the imperial doctor said that he would not live to be twenty.

Looking at it from another perspective, his crazy "revenge" is not deliberately forcing the rebel army to speed up, and liberating the people of Beiyan Kingdom in his way.

With the establishment of the new dynasty, everything was cleaned up, and the laws left by the youth, the academies that were built with great effort, and the imperial examination system that it insisted on implementing were all continued by the new dynasty.

When the kings and grandsons broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, when folk scholars stepped into the court, and the past when the aristocratic family monopolized the right to speak no longer existed, he knew why the aristocratic family sent people into the palace to assassinate so frantically.

Old Mrs. Wang was a little worried about his upright son, "What have you figured out?"

"I want him to see how the people live and work in peace and contentment first." Wang Muzhi said, "With his intelligence, he will definitely know what consequences his every move will bring to the people. If he has ever seen the beautiful , even if you want to change some things in the future, you may consider using more moderate means.”

He shouldn't criticize the young emperor's actions from his point of view, because the young man has never felt the kindness of others and has never seen the beauty of the world when he was growing up.

What he should do is to take the young man to experience all of this. Only when he has experienced the beauty of stability in the world, he will have scruples in order not to lose it.

Mr. Wang Liulang, who had figured it out, handed over the sign again the next day to enter the palace to ask for an interview.

Xie Xun, who had deliberately frightened the other party yesterday, was a little surprised, so he summoned him.

"Little uncle entered the palace today, why?"
