It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. He was not stupid enough to pluck out this tiger's beard. Huo Jun did not dare to answer casually. If he were not careful, he might easily lose his head. He replied with great respect: "Of course, Your Majesty He is a good emperor who serves the country and the people."

The emperor couldn't help but laugh mockingly, and shook his head slowly: "Huo Jun, you didn't tell the truth. Why, are you afraid that I will punish you because I heard your truth?"

Huo Jun couldn't help sweating on his palms. He bit the bullet and replied: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I didn't lie. What I said is all the truth."

The emperor did not continue to embarrass Huo Jun. He sighed softly, and his cloudy eyes became extremely clear at this moment. Nan Chu could not let him continue to torment like this. Otherwise, the foundation of the country built by the ancestors would all be lost to him. It was destroyed by his own hands. The throne he got was not justified in the first place. If he loses the power of Nanchu again, then he will become a sinner completely. When he goes to hell a hundred years later, How to face the ancestors of the Xiao family? He lowered his head and looked at his palms. His hands were stained with too much blood, and he had committed too many sins that ignored the moral bottom line. He could not make any more mistakes... He admitted , he is not a good emperor. So does he still have a chance to atone for his sins? The emperor smiled bitterly and turned to look at Huo Jun: "Huo Jun, tell me the truth... Who was the one who assassinated Prince Rui from behind?"

Huo Jun didn't expect that the emperor was not angry, and actually smiled gently at him. This was not at all like the jealous and moody emperor in the past. Although he was suspicious in his heart, his face was still respectful. " Returning to Your Majesty, I found out that the matter seems to be related to Feng Hai, the bodyguard around King Duan. Members of the organization confessed that it was Feng Hai who took King Duan's letter to their organization and interviewed Li Han."

"It seems that this Li Han has been working for King Duan for a long time. Li Han also confiscated the one hundred thousand taels of gold that King Duan gave..." The emperor gasped for breath, and he slowly closed his eyes and was silent for a long time. King Duan...hehe , his son has a good way to win people's hearts. No wonder Li Han would rather die than recruit, and vow to save Prince Duan... It is a pity, Li Han is such a loyal and talented man with both civil and military skills. "It is indeed him. I should have thought of it a long time ago...I actually ignored him before."

"I didn't expect that he would actually come up with such a plan to deal with Prince Rui. Okay, that's really good, I'm quite surprised."

Huo Jun was startled and couldn't react. What did the emperor mean by this...surprise? When he found out that King Duan bribed Li Han to assassinate King Rui, King Rui hurt his descendants and could no longer have heirs. He was cut off from the throne. Lu. Instead of being angry, the emperor was actually surprised? This is really weird! Huo Jun suppressed the confusion in his heart and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do with Prince Duan?"

The emperor looked at Huo Jun meaningfully: "Prince Rui can no longer have any heirs. He has lost the qualification to inherit the throne. Apart from Prince Rui, I only have three sons left. Prince Ming... again The kind of Adou who can’t be helped.”

"After careful calculation, except for Prince Duan and Prince Mo, there are no other people who are qualified to sit on the throne of the crown prince. Prince Mo is still young and has a weak temper..." For a while, the more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt heartbroken. . At the end of the road, how did he get to this point? There is a feeling that there is no successor. If, because of Rui'er's incident, Prince Duan and the crown prince's position will be disposed of, he will have no choice but to let King Mo take the seat. But King Mo also had the kind of temperament that seemed to be unable to bear the heavy responsibility. He couldn't help but worry a little, if he handed over the heavy responsibility of Nan Chu to King Mo, would he be able to keep it? Today's Nan Chu is faced with external and internal troubles. There are a lot of loopholes. He is only sixteen years old, how can he support such a big mess? The emperor frowned, filled with worries. The more Huo Jun listened, the more surprised he looked in his eyes. The emperor said this What do you mean? Could it be that you are planning not to deal with Prince Duan? Are you planning to let Prince Duan take the position of crown prince? Before he could collect his thoughts, he heard the emperor's voice: "Jun Huo, regarding Prince Duan hiring an assassin to assassinate Rui. Please keep your mouth shut about this matter about the king and don’t tell others about it for the time being.”

"I have to think carefully about what to do next."

Huo Jun was completely confused and looked at the emperor in disbelief. The emperor really meant to let Prince Duan go and not to deal with Prince Duan. He thought that he would wait for the emperor's overwhelming wrath and Prince Duan would clang in. He was imprisoned and ended up in ruins, completely missing the throne of the crown prince. But now, things have taken a dramatic turn. Huo Jun said that he couldn't understand the emperor's thoughts. He responded in confusion. ...until he left the palace, concealed his traces and secretly came to Prince Yan's Mansion, and sat in front of Xiao Tingyan, he was still confused. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Tingyan in confusion. "Your Majesty... you say, Your Majesty, he What does this mean? With his love for Prince Rui, Prince Rui has already died and become a useless person. Shouldn’t he get angry and deal with Prince Duan to vent his anger for Prince Rui?”

"But not only did he not deal with Prince Duan, he even asked me to keep Prince Duan and suppress the matter completely. I really don't understand how the emperor's mind has undergone such a huge reversal in the blink of an eye."

Xiao Tingyan frowned. He couldn't understand why the emperor suddenly changed his mind. Doctor Lu was sitting beside him, seeming to have understood the man's psychology. He couldn't help but snorted coldly. "What's wrong with this?" ... In a word, our Emperor is no better than he was back then. He is old now, and he will never be able to return to his previous stubborn and domineering state of turning his hands into clouds and rain. "

"You are still young, and you may not be able to understand the thoughts of an old man... With Xiao Xuanrui's death, he may be afraid. For a moment, he felt that there was no one around him to rely on, and he unexpectedly reached a dead end."

"Inside, our prince was watching him eagerly, and outside there was Liang Guo, who was plotting evil and maintaining an eerie silence. He suddenly woke up and realized the dangerous situation he was in now. Prince Rui has lost the ability to have children, so it is impossible for him to support such A useless person came to the throne... Therefore, he must choose a new candidate to become the prince."

Xiao Tingyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Divine Doctor Lu with some surprise. "Doctor Lu, when did you become so smart? Listening to your analysis, it seems quite reliable."

Doctor Lu looked at Xiao Tingyan speechlessly: "My lord, you think that I am too stupid, don't you? I guess that I have lived a long time and seen a lot about people's hearts, so naturally I can see more clearly than young people like you. "

"I'm about the same age as that dog emperor. I watched step by step how he climbed to the top and how he started a bloody storm in the Southern Prefecture and went on a killing spree. When he was young, he might have been a cold-blooded and cruel Yama, who would do anything to achieve his goals. "

"But now that he is old, he has become a paper tiger. He has committed too many sins and has countless blood on his hands. It is probably a luxury for him to sleep peacefully every night... He is a human being. The heart is made of flesh, and when he was young, he would not be afraid. Those wronged souls would seek revenge on him, but now that he is old and frail, some of his thoughts will definitely undergo a huge reversal."

Huo Jun's eyes flickered and he nodded quickly in agreement with Doctor Lu's words. "Mr. Lu is right. These days, the emperor is indeed getting more and more haggard and has hardly slept well. He is always prone to sweating profusely in the middle of the night. Wake up with a start..." "Moreover, since Zhao Waner's death, he has never spent the night with other concubines. Even though he loves Snow Nobleman so much now, he has never stayed in Snow Nobleman's palace."

Divine Doctor Lu held his hands on his sleeves and smiled proudly. It seems that some of the medicines he developed before have had great effects. The current emperor has committed too many sins because he was young, and because his medicines have had a great effect. As a result, he is haunted by nightmares every day and night... His sense of crisis is overwhelming and he doesn't trust anyone. But he also feels that he is in a desperate situation... he has no one to rely on and he can fall into hell if he makes one wrong step. Xiao Tingyan pursed his lips lightly and didn't say anything else. Everything was going smoothly. I believe that it won't be long before this country changes hands. When Huo Jun left, Xiao Tingyan specifically told him to think about it. Fa Zi spread the news to Shen Huanzhi's ears... Huo Jun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard it. "You plan to sow discord? Not to mention, your plan is clever? Ting Yan, I didn't know that this It turned out that you were planning everything behind his back." Xiao Tingyan didn't want to keep hiding it from him. The two had known each other for more than ten years and had known each other since they were children. He had great trust in Huo Jun. Back then, he was able to escape from Kyoto with Grandma Qin. Huo Jun's tip-off to him was also indispensable. After he entered the Northland and obtained some rights, he received a letter from Huo Jun. The two of them had been secretly exchanging letters. Every year when Xiao Tingyan came to Kyoto, they also Meeting secretly in secret... Huo Jun knew many things about Xiao Tingyan. He had also made it clear long ago that he and Xiao Tingyan were on the same side, and he would fully support Xiao Tingyan no matter what he did. The friendship between the two has lasted for more than ten years. Forged. They trust each other and can completely give each other's back. Xiao Tingyan's eyes were quiet and he murmured in a low voice: "Huo Jun, you should know more or less how my father and mother died. Right? They did not die of illness or love, but were killed by the current emperor."
