Marriage on behalf of others is risky, so you need to be cautious the second time

The majestic walls of the palace erected lines of defense one after another.It starts and ends, twists and turns, like a poisonous snake coiled around a mass grave.

Hidden so deep that no one else can see it.

Wei Linhuan was still the same as before, with black shadows on his lower eyelids, pale face, and a ring of dry skin on his lips, which couldn't be removed even after dipping in water.Under the morbid look, his eyes were not distracted, and the majestic air of the king was still there.

After a rough look, there is no sign of aggravation of the condition.

"Don't kneel down, get up, as if you are at home."

He did not wear the majestic formal attire of a king, but he did not know where to get a set of ordinary people's ordinary clothes, and he wore an ordinary hair style without a golden crown, which made him look quite friendly.

Home?

Fang Yi faintly felt that this was wrong, and after Xie En got up, he didn't say anything else, just watching the changes.

Wei Linhuan waved his hand to let all the palace people go down and close the doors and windows.Only when there were only two people and a lamp left in the palace, did he speak slowly:

"Hongzhi."

He called Fang Yi's name.

The voice is old but low and stable, with a deep sense of time, like a boulder at the bottom of the deep sea in the far east of Yachuan.

"Do you know why Gu gave you these two characters?"

His face was very heavy, as if he had suppressed Wan Jun's thoughts.However, as a king, appeasing his anger has always been unspoken. Now that he is showing a preoccupied expression, it is natural that something is tens of thousands of times more important than usual.

Fang Yi didn't rush to search for the reason, but only asked what to answer, and said respectfully: "Back then, I quelled the civil strife and made some bold and ambitious words. Fortunately, the king appreciated it."

Wei Linhuan asked him back then: "Ai Qing thinks, what is the qualification for a general?"

Fang Yi replied at that time: "The ability of my generation is enough to be worthy of the great ambition in my chest."

After all these years, he always thought that the word came from this way.

The man on the throne obviously remembered the past, and smiled, "That was just an opportunity." The memory drifted to a farther place, and he said, "Back then, your father loved you very much. The words that ordinary men only have when they are adults, he But I thought about it the moment you were born."

Fang Yi suddenly thought of the man who had been strictly disciplined since he was a child and died in the flood accidentally.

It's just...not right.

His father was an inconspicuous accountant. He was born in Dasheng Township, a remote place in the south of Rongguo, thousands of miles away from Huayang. How could Wei Linhuan recognize him?

So he asked, "Your Majesty knew your late father?"

"More than knowing..."

Guilt flashed across Wei Linhuan's eyes, and the next sentence made Fang Yi's ears tingle with thunder.

"Alone with him, there is brotherhood."

boom!

There was a loud noise in my head, as if a thunderbolt split the surface of the ground into a sinister gully, bottomless.After the sound of He, he circled around him a thousand times, trapping him without gaps.

Siblings, brothers also.

These words are not casual.

Fang Yi hadn't recovered from the violent blow, and froze for a moment, "The king is probably joking."

Wei Linhuan looked straight at him, and said word by word: "You are not joking."

Before Fang Yi continued to say anything, he opened his mouth again, his eyes were ten thousand times more serious than before:

"Hongzhi, if Gu says that Gu intends to pass on the throne to you, what will you do?"

Fang Yi suddenly raised his head, and his whole life was shocked, Wan Jun was struck by a thunderbolt, piercing him through a hole.

After the sky collapsed, the only sound in the huge and empty palace was the sound of burning candles.

Fang Yi was silent for a long time. Yesterday, even if he had the guts, he would not have dared to imagine that Wei Linhuan could say such a thing.

But now Wei Linhuan said it, and even waved away all the palace people, faced him face to face, and said this directly.

After thinking about it, he could only imagine that Wei Linhuan was testing him, so he managed to return to normal, and said:

"Your minister's heartfeltness to Da Rong is beyond words, Your Majesty does not need to try again."

Wei Linhuan looked at him fixedly, his eyes were very clean, without any distracting thoughts, "I said this from my heart, and I didn't mean to test it." The old eyes moved, and then sighed, "If it wasn't for Gu You are young and energetic, and you did something impulsive, the throne should belong to your father, and he will definitely pass the throne to you."

This time, the last layer of window paper was really torn.Now that it was punctured, Wei Linhuan no longer hid it, and simply said it all:

"Everyone knows that I was snatched from the crown prince back then."

Speaking of the past, Wei Linhuan no longer called himself "solitary".

"At that time, I knew that my elder brother had a better chance of being enshrined, so I joined forces with the disciples of the family and some cronies in the Forbidden Army to plan the Qinglongmen mutiny."

When he mentioned that he had turned his back on the boat, he should have had pride in his eyes, but more than that, there was boundless guilt.

The fist in Fang Yi's sleeve was clenched tightly, and his entire arm was stretched stiffly, like cast iron that had just been punched out.

"I want the throne with all my heart, and I have used all available means to eradicate all those who stand in my way. I just think that those who make big things don't care about small things, and these people don't care too much. When I am in power, they will help me ascend to the throne." A person who ascends to the throne deserves to die."

Wei Linhuan talked to himself, quite a bit of an autobiography dictated by a man of the world.

"Later, more and more people died, and the blood on my hands became thicker and thicker. However, none of the cronies who followed me ended well. Some followers were caught by the elder brother's old department. Die late."

Fang Yi listened quietly, staring at a newly smashed hole on the floor, and said coldly:

"Brothers fight against the wall, cook beans and burn Osmunda. The royal family's deep palace's road to succession was paved with blood. The king must have known this reason well when he was able to do such a thing."

Wei Linhuan laughed at himself, and said: "At that time, the Qinglong Gate was full of blood, and there were corpses everywhere. None of the eldest brother and his subordinates survived. The guards in his house heard the news and took his own age. The child stayed and escorted the eldest brother's only youngest son to escape from Huayang overnight."

After a pause, his tone became more dignified, and he said, "And the orphan who survived by chance is you, Hongzhi."

Fang Yi didn't listen to him, but raised his chin arrogantly, and said: "My father is an ordinary study boy in Dasheng Township. His family has been poor for generations, and he is not a member of the royal family."

He said he didn't believe it, but no king would laugh at such a big thing.

"Hongzhi, what kind of calm person are you?" Wei Linhuan glanced at his trembling fist, knowing that he was holding back, and said, "No one can bear such news. It's just your background, It’s absolutely untrue.”

"I also feel that my background as a commoner cannot be faked."

Wei Linhuan got angry for a moment, breathing heavily, and said: "Okay, let me ask you this way, who gave you that white jade ring that you have been hiding next to your body?"

Back then on the battlefield, Fang Yi had saved Wei Linhuan's life in the chaos of war, and the ring fell hastily, although he picked it up in time, Wei Linhuan saw it.

"That's a token left to my minister before my late mother passed away."

After the woman decided to die for love, she asked him to come to him and told him that besides this ring, she also told Fang Yi to stay away from Hua Yang and not to step into the court hall.

Now that I think about it, there is a reason.

Wei Linhuan asked: "You didn't ask her what token it was?"

Fang Yi was unmoved, and said, "Family keepsake."

Wei Linhuan's breathing slowed down, "That ring was a gift from the old king to the eldest brother." Seeing that Fang Yi didn't believe it, he continued, "There is a 'Ze' engraved on the inner wall of the ring, which is his son's title. .”

Fang Yi's hands trembled, he clearly didn't believe Wei Linhuan's words, but there was a sense of fear in his heart for no reason.If these are true, then all the heartfelt, all the heart and soul, and the object of allegiance in the first half of his life is...killing his father and enemy?

And no one knew better than him that the inner wall of the white jade ring was truly engraved with the word "Ze".

For a moment, it was as if a boulder was pressed against his chest, constantly squeezing his internal organs, making him breathless.

"It seems that I was right."

Wei Linhuan said this calmly, his body relaxed slightly, and he leaned on the back of the dragon chair.

The air stagnates, and even the most normal breathing becomes thin.There seems to be a poison/drug in the dark, spreading rapidly and silently, corroding the place it passes inch by inch.The juicy green wood instantly turned into dead branches, lifeless.

The hall is very quiet, so quiet that it can kill people.

Fang Yi finally raised his eyes and looked at the man on the throne, his eyes became colder and colder.He no longer questioned his life experience, but only asked sarcastically in his heart: "You tell me this, are you afraid that I will rebel?"

"I pass the Chuanguo Yuxi to you, so naturally I have to give you a reason."

The implication is that Fang Yi does not need to send troops, and the world of Rongguo is also his.

"You have no shortage of heirs, and there will be successors."

Wei Linhuan was lonely for a moment, and said: "But there is no malleable talent. The position of king has always been occupied by those who are able. My heirs cannot take on the responsibility of the family and the country. I know this very well."

Fang Yi suddenly felt that the man on the throne was pathetic, unreasonable and self-righteous.

what is this?

Back then, in order to fight for the kingship, he killed siblings. Now that more than 20 years have passed, he has seen it through, realized it, and regretted it. Want to transfer this bloody seat to him?

Is this compensation, or a favor?Or... handouts?

"Your Majesty."

Fang Yi said coldly, his eyes were full of ice, "The reason why I still call you the king is because I think about the old relationship between the emperor and his ministers, and because I think about the kindness of knowing you. As for the throne, even if one day I fall in love with this person, I will take it personally." Take it according to your ability." After a pause, he said, "You don't need to pay it back."

All of a sudden, there seemed to be a roaring lion, galloping from behind Fang Yi, its power was invincible and unstoppable.

Wei Linhuan's heart sank a bit, but he still did not give up persuading:

"Hongzhi, don't you understand? The reason why I value you is not only because you are the son of the eldest brother, but also because of your ability!" He reluctantly stood up from the chair, and said, "Take a step back and say, why do you have a lot of money?" The king, who holds the power of life and death, is the master of millions of bears, and has power over the world. The opportunity that so many people dream of is now in front of you!"

Fang Yi's brows were deeply furrowed, and he stood upright like a cliff, "Being a king is not the most proud thing in the world, you will know it yourself."

Wei Linhuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he took a step forward in grief, intending to persuade him a few more words, but was interrupted by an exclamation from outside the door.

"--who!"
