The steps leading to the main hall are covered with red carpets, winding all the way to the summit of power.

On the steps, an eunuch was announcing the etiquette, and the sound of horns in the distance resounded throughout the Forbidden City.

Yu Wenzhe walked up to the high place step by step, and all the officials knelt down on the ground. Yu Wenzhe looked far away, as if he could see the palace gate from a distance, and this section of the road was long and empty, just like around him. others.

After the father-in-law read out the etiquette, a group of eunuchs came over, the first one held a copper basin for Yu Wenzhe to wash his hands, and then someone offered a jade seal, Yu Wenzhe took the jade seal, and all the officials bowed down together, saying,

"Congratulations to the new emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Yu Wenzhe never thought that this day would happen to him, his throat tightened a little, and it took him a long time to say, "Everyone loves you."

"The time is short, and the minister doesn't know the rules very well, and it is not very grand. Your Majesty is satisfied."

Ye Donglan walked to Yu Wenzhe's side and took the jade seal in his hand, which relieved the heaviness in Yu Wenzhe's heart a little, as if no matter how difficult the high position was, there were people by his side.

"Thank you." Yu Wenzhe whispered.

Ye Donglan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It belongs to you, thank you for what."

He took half a step back, bowed and said, "Get ready to go up, Your Majesty."

Yu Wenzhe turned around and sat down on a chair engraved with nine dragons. Above his head were the four golden characters "Kai Zhang Sheng Ting" written by Yu Wenlan in his early years.

Yu Wenzhe felt a little uneasy, but when he saw Ye Donglan standing first in the hall, he calmed down, patiently listened to the minister's performance, and discussed with the ministers how to deal with it.

Ye Donglan's eyes were always on Yu Wenzhe, and the more he looked, the deeper his smile became.

In fact, he should have belonged to that position.

After the morning court ended and all the officials dispersed, Yu Wenzhe left Ye Donglan alone, "Ye Donglan, I..."

Ye Donglan interrupted him with a smile, "Your Majesty, it's time to change your tune."

"I'm not used to it," Yu Wenzhe also smiled, "It's here with you, let me relax."

Ye Donglan bent his lips, which was his default.

"You know how my father died, right?"

Ye Donglan was stunned, but thinking that Yu Wenzhe would know sooner or later, he nodded, "Actually, I found out a year ago."

Yu Wenzhe has been thinking about this matter and trying to find the truth, but when he got close to the truth, he was suddenly afraid of knowing.

He trembled, "Can you tell me?"

"It's Gu poison."

Yu Wenzhe thought about many, many possibilities. Yu Wenting poisoned his father's body until the oil ran out, but he never thought that it would be such a vicious method.

"Gu, do you really kill people invisible? Why, they couldn't save the father."

Ye Donglan sighed, patted Yu Wenzhe on the shoulder, and let him lean on his body, "I have also learned a little bit about it. Gu comes from southern Xinjiang. There are poisonous Gu and emotional Gu. The main Gu controls the main Gu, and the secondary Gu Find a way to let the voodoo eat it, the voodoo will nibble away at the person's body bit by bit, but it is not fatal, nor is it sick, the doctor can't diagnose it. Instant death."

What Ye Donglan said was very simple, easy to understand, and very brief, but Yu Wenzhe could imagine how painful it would be for those who were bewitched during the process.

What's more, the person who played Gu is his own son.

Yu Wenzhe felt a little dizzy while sitting, he leaned his forehead on Ye Donglan's waist, closed his eyes wearily, and murmured, "Why?"

"Tell me, why?"

Ye Donglan patted him and said in a low voice, "People's greed will never have a reason."

"It will only silently drag people into the abyss."
