Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 242 If You Are I

  In Changle Palace, the four princes entered in order of elder and younger.

  The Seventh Prince was the youngest, so he was last in line, and he stood at the gate of the palace with his hands down and waited quietly.

   When the two princes in front came out, their expressions were calm.

  When the fourth prince came out of Changle Palace, His Royal Highness King Wei looked up at his fourth brother.

   This King Qi had a smile on his face.

  The Seventh Prince took a deep breath, tried his best to calm his mind, and walked in.

  In the inner hall of Changle Palace, there is a strong smell of medicine.

   His Royal Highness King Wei frowned slightly, then walked in with his hands down, and knelt down respectfully.

   "My son asks my father, the emperor, to be safe."

   No one responded to him.

   He didn't dare to look up, just kneeled quietly.

   After a long time, he heard a hoarse voice: "You just kneel and obey."

  The Seventh Prince felt tight.

   Just listening to the voice, the royal father has completely lost the energy he once had.

  Although he has the intention of seizing the throne, he has absolutely no thought of killing his father. The emperor of Chengde treats people with generosity, not only the minister, but also several sons respect their father very much.

   Hearing this somewhat old voice suddenly, the Seventh Prince couldn't help but feel a little sad.

   "My son obeys."

  The emperor glanced at the seventh prince who was kneeling on the ground respectfully, and then changed his mind after frowning slightly.

   "Forget it, get up, Chen Ju, go and bring him a stool."

  The **** bowed his head respectfully and brought a stool over.

  The seventh prince bowed his head respectfully: "Thank you, Father."

   He sat down carefully, and then took advantage of the movement of sitting down, and secretly looked up at his father.

Today's emperor of Chengde, although the bun is still meticulously combed, but the spirit of the whole person is completely different, as if he has aged a decade or two all at once, with a lot of white hair on his head, and a lot of white hair on his face. Although there is blood, but the whole person looks wilted and has no spirit.

   Seeing this situation, His Royal Highness King Wei felt a little uncomfortable.

   "Father, are you feeling better?"

  The emperor of Chengde coughed and smiled lightly: "Do you want me to be better or not?"

   The seventh prince knelt on the ground again, and kowtowed: "My son, I hope the father and the emperor live forever!"

  The words of His Royal Highness King Wei are sincere.

   Although he wanted to take the heir, he was also really filial, which is not contradictory.

  The emperor of Chengde squinted his eyes: "There are no outsiders here, it is meaningless to say these false things, how about you and my father and son say a few sincere words?"

   The seventh prince bowed his head and said: "My son, in front of the father, always knows everything and says everything!"

"Well."

   His Majesty the Emperor looked straight at his son and said solemnly, "Do you want to be this Emperor?"

  The Seventh Prince didn't hesitate, just lowered his head and said, "My son wants to."

  There is nothing to hide. Speaking of which, if you hide your self-motivation, you will be deceiving the king.

  The emperor of Chengde chuckled: "Then you just said that you want me to live forever? Since you want to be emperor, you should expect me to die early."

His Royal Highness King Wei touched the ground with his head, and said respectfully, "I only hope that one day in the future, I will be able to inherit the legacy of my father, so that my country will be prosperous and peaceful. The father and the emperor are one day, and the son is the prince for one day. "

  The emperor of Chengde squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then waved his hand: "Okay, get up and talk, you don't need to kneel, just kneel."

  The Seventh Prince stood up and stood with his hands down.

   "Kneeling to the king and kneeling to the father is just right."

  The emperor of Chengde coughed a few more times, and it got worse. Chen Ju quickly handed over a piece of jinpa. After the emperor of Chengde wiped his mouth, his face turned pale.

  The Seventh Prince hurried forward two steps, but did not dare to approach his father, so he could only hurriedly say: "Father, are you all right?"

   "I'm fine."

  The emperor of Chengde waved his hand.

   "You sit back on the stool."

  The seventh prince obediently sat back.

After the emperor rested for a while, he finally recovered a bit, he said slowly: "I just asked a few of your royal brothers the same question, and their answers are similar to yours, but in comparison, your answer is more comfortable than theirs. Some."

   "My son is frightened."

  The emperor of Chengde reluctantly cheered up and looked at the seventh prince.

   "I want to ask you a few questions now, and you answer truthfully."

   "Father, may I ask."

  The Emperor Chengde closed his eyes and said slowly, "If you were me now, what should you do with this court situation?"

   Now is the real big problem.

  The seventh prince sweated on his forehead.

   Before that, Li Xin had told him that there might be such a countermeasure, but at that time Li Xin only told him what he should do when he became an emperor in the future, but did not tell him what he should do when he became an emperor now.

  The problem of the emperor of Chengde... It's beyond the outline!

   You can only rely on yourself.

The seventh prince also closed his eyes and said slowly: "My son is bold and arrogant, if my son is the father and the emperor, the assassination case has come to an end at this time, we should meet the minister as soon as possible, and stabilize the court situation. Wait until the court situation is stable and people's hearts are stable before we start."

  The Emperor Chengde glanced at the Seventh Prince with a half-smile.

   "Who is the murderer you're talking about?"

   His Royal Highness King Wei opened his eyes and said solemnly: "Although Erchen did not participate in the investigation like the third brother, he has guessed a little bit. Most of this assassination was done by the Li family, Marquis of Pingnan!"

   "Why did they stab me?"

"because…"

The seventh prince looked up at his father, and finally lowered his head and said, "Because the royal father is going to attack the southern border, Li Ji's imprisonment is a sign, they couldn't hold back completely, so they lost their minds and sent someone to assassinate the royal father. !"

  The emperor's expression turned cold.

   "Since you already know who stabbed me, why don't you go and avenge your father?"

  The seventh prince lowered his head and gritted his teeth: "Father, the father's revenge will naturally be avenged, but after all, personal revenge will not be worth the state affairs. For the sake of Jin, this personal revenge can only be put aside for the time being!"

  The emperor of Chengde looked up and down at the seventh prince, and clapped his hands in admiration.

   "You are very good. You are the only one of the four princes who sees the court situation so clearly."

   Having said this, the emperor of Chengde shook his head slightly: "If your elder brother also has this insight, I don't have to worry about who to stand."

   Originally, it was the rule from ancient times to establish the first emperor and the first emperor. The Dajin should also be the first emperor to establish the first emperor. In this regard, the first prince Ji Ku has an innate advantage.

   This can be seen from his name.

  Emperor Ku is an ancient sage.

   But this eldest prince is really incompetent, and the emperor of Chengde has been unable to make up his mind to make him the prince.

   The seventh prince bowed his head and said, "My father is too famous."

  The emperor silently glanced at the seventh prince, and finally lowered his eyebrows and said, "I heard that you have also gathered a group of people to listen to the news."

  Seventh Prince's forehead suddenly became cold and sweaty.

   The intelligence organization under him has only been established for less than a month, and it is still not large enough. Even so, the emperor of Chengde actually knew about it!

   Seeing his son's terrified look, the emperor laughed.

   "Don't be so nervous, you are also the prince of Dajin, and it is normal for some people to do things."

   "When I first sneaked into the mansion, there were many people listening to me."

   The Holy Son of Heaven gave the Seventh Prince a faint look and continued.

   "I mean, since someone is listening for the news for you, you should already know the news of Li Shen's return to Beijing."

  The Son of Heaven has a calm voice.

   "If you were me, how would you treat Li Shen?"
