King Zhao looked at the sky, his thoughts were too complicated to describe. In fact, he didn't want to create any gap between him and the emperor.
The two brothers are brothers from the same mother. He has been following his brother since he was a child. The two of them studied together, fought their way through the struggle for power, and then sat in this supreme position.
One of them is the emperor and the other is a prince. They are the supreme existences in Dongzhao, and no one dares to compete with them.
Even after so many years, the relationship between the two brothers is still very good. It is really rare to have such brotherly love among this royal family. Even if the emperor does not believe in his son, he will believe in himself. This royal brother.
But today, this relationship involves the life and death of the next generation, which is a bit suffocating.
King Zhao thought to himself, I have worked hard for so many years and have never done anything sorry to you, but your son wants my son's life. This is really too much.
The emperor saw that King Zhao's face was ugly, as if he was suppressing something, and the veins on the back of the hand holding the tea cup were jumping. The emperor knew that this was a sign of King Zhao's extreme anger.
The emperor was vaguely uneasy: "You tell me."
King Zhao took a breath and then said: "Mingzhan is indeed fine. I received a letter from him a few days ago."
"Ming Zhan is okay?" The emperor felt relieved when he heard this. Seeing that King Zhao's face was still ugly, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Isn't that a good thing? What's wrong with you?"
The emperor still valued Zhao Mingzhan very much. He wanted him to be his successor before, but Zhao Mingzhan himself was unwilling. In the future, Zhao Mingjing will still need his support.
The emperor is getting older, and his health has become worse and worse in the past few years. However, Zhao Mingjing is only ten years old, so he is really worried. If the father and son, King Zhao and Zhao Mingzhan, are here, he can feel more at ease in the future.
"Brother Emperor, when Ming Zhan left, he felt that something might happen, so on the way back, he ordered someone to pretend to be himself, left the envoy team early, and came back alone."
"The people who want to kill him this time are our people from Dong Zhao."
King Zhao did not involve Li Lin, and he was not one to repay kindness with hatred.
Li Lin reminded Zhao Mingzhan, which was equivalent to saving Zhao Mingzhan's life. If he was dragged into it, the subsequent events might cause unnecessary suspicion and disputes, and then the peaceful life between him and Su Wan would be broken.
"People from Dong Zhao?" The emperor was startled, "This is impossible!"
The emperor felt that this was impossible. He had been in power for many years. Although he was not as good as the wise kings and saints in ancient times, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Although the court was not pure, there were no treacherous people. Dare to murder the prince of the palace.
No one has such ability.
King Zhao holds a quarter of the troops of Eastern Zhao. The palace of King Zhao also has private troops and secret guards. As the prince of King Zhao, there must be many people around Zhao Mingzhan. Who in the court can do this if they want to kill him? Ability?
"This is impossible! You and I both know clearly that the people in the court must not be capable of this!"
King Zhao looked at him calmly and looked at him quietly for a while before saying, "There are no civil and military officials in the court, but what about the Zhao family?"
Zhao family?
The emperor paused slightly. King Zhao was asking about the Zhao family, but in fact he was asking about King Sui.
King Sui's mother clan, the Zhao family of the Imperial City, was a clan that existed in the previous dynasty. In order to ascend the throne, the former emperor married a daughter of the Zhao family of the Imperial City as a concubine. With the support of the Zhao family of the Imperial City, he ascended the throne. throne.
The Zhao family in the imperial city is the mother clan of King Sui.
The emperor almost couldn't swallow his breath, and he couldn't believe it for a moment: "Do you doubt King Sui? But this is unlikely. It's so good, why would he kill Ming Zhan."
"Even in this battle for the throne, it doesn't fall on Ming Zhan, does it? There is no reason for him to do this."
King Zhao said coolly: "Why can't I fall behind? Didn't my brother-in-law say that he wanted Mingzhan to be your son..."
The emperor's heart froze, and then he remembered that this happened. Could it be that this incident happened because it was spread?
King Zhao continued: "Brother, you and I are brothers from the same mother. You are the elder brother and you are better than me. I will listen to you in everything. Over the years, if you point me east, I will not go west. Brother, for so many years, I I don’t think I have anything to feel sorry for you about.”
"Even if we have disagreements about something, I can tolerate it, but now Zhao Mingsui wants my son's life! I can't bear it!"
Is there any father in the world who can still sit still knowing that someone wants his son's life? Can you still lower your head and swallow this breath? !
Never!
Moreover, Zhao Mingzhan is not only King Zhao's biological son, but also his eldest son who has high hopes for him, and is the backbone of King Zhao's palace!
When he is a hundred years old, Zhao Mingzhan will be the support of the palace and the person who supports the family. If there is no heir, what will happen to the old, weak, women and children of the family?
This is to break the foundation of his inheritance from Prince Zhao’s Mansion!
The emperor's mind was buzzing and he was a little confused.
"Brother Emperor!" King Zhao called the Emperor again, calling him back to his senses, and then said, "Brother Emperor, please come and discuss it with me. How should we deal with this matter?"
The emperor was unable to speak for a moment. If it had been anything else, he would probably have said, 'I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding about this matter. I will give him justice when the truth is found out.' Then he would order someone to investigate and find out the truth of the matter. Redispose.
But could he say this when King Zhao was so angry?
It’s impossible to say.
The emperor knew in his heart that if he was partial and could not handle this matter well, his brother Zhao Wang, who had been together for almost a lifetime, would come to an end.
When King Zhao saw that he was silent, he repeated: "I don't want to argue with the emperor about many things in the world, and I won't take it to heart, but this matter must not be messed with casually."
"He, Zhao Mingsui, wants Mingzhan's life!"
"If the emperor is partial to Zhao Mingsui, then the emperor will just pretend that Prince Zhao's Mansion does not exist. In the future, I will never see the emperor again!"
When the emperor heard this, his face instantly turned ugly, and he turned red with anger. He slapped the table at his hand vigorously: "What are you talking about? Do you want to say goodbye to me forever?"
King Zhao pinched his neck and looked unrepentant: "It's not that I want to say goodbye to my brother forever, but I just can't swallow this breath."
In this way, he looks a bit like he was reckless and unrepentant when he was young.
The emperor felt a little dazed looking at it, as if he saw the young man who followed him in the past.
They had gone through the battle for the throne together, and they had also gone through the years of ups and downs in the court together. The relationship between brothers was very deep, but this was coming to an end, and the country was about to end in a lifetime, with half a foot on it. They were in the coffin, but they were about to have a falling out, saying they would never meet again.
This is simply murderous and heartbreaking.
