"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
As the old voice came out, a deep voice sounded outside the palace.
The next second, a tall man with a beard walked into the palace.
The moment he saw this person, a smile appeared on the late emperor's face.
"Second brother, I knew you were definitely by my side!"
It turned out that this man was the former emperor's sworn brother, the brave and invincible General Guan among the people!
As the late emperor's sworn brother, General Guan had the closest relationship with the late emperor.
On weekdays, General Guan has been guarding the surroundings of the palace, always paying attention to the late emperor's condition.
Now, after hearing the late emperor's sigh, he appeared immediately.
"Second brother, do you know about the Prime Minister's affairs?"
At that moment, facing someone he could trust, the late emperor spoke immediately.
After hearing this, a look of solemnity appeared on the face of General Guan across from him.
"Brother, I feel a little strange. Why did the Prime Minister want to retire for so long in the first place?"
"If it hadn't been for changes like his, why would the national strength of our Shu country have stagnated for so many years?"
"Nowadays, it is even more ridiculous for the Prime Minister to come out. He actually stands up personally for a mere businessman. Such an approach is really insulting to his status!"
General Guan said what he was thinking at this moment, but the next second, as his elder brother spoke, General Guan's expression changed!
"If he hadn't retired back then, I'm afraid even living now would be a luxury!"
"Brother, what do you mean by this?" When General Guan heard this, his pupils widened in an instant, and there was a look of disbelief in the depths of his eyes.
At this moment, General Guan already noticed something unusual.
Could it be that the prime minister's retirement back then had something to do with his eldest brother?
"Second brother, I have something to give you now. Before completing this matter, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I promise to tell you everything I know!"
Facing General Guan's inquiry, the late emperor held on at this moment and spoke.
As soon as these words came out, General Guan did not hesitate at all and directly said what he was thinking.
"Brother, is it really because of you that the Prime Minister retired this year?"
When he said this, General Guan already believed it. The late emperor was seriously ill, and it was at such an important moment that the prime minister suddenly disappeared.
As one of the generals of the Shu Kingdom, General Guan had accused the Prime Minister several times behind his back.
He just thought that the other party saw that the prospects of Shu Kingdom were not good, so he gave up early!
But now, as the truth is revealed, General Guan feels a little guilty.
Who could have imagined?
The prime minister's retirement was accompanied by such secrets!
If he were truly the king of a country and had such thoughts, it would be no wonder that the prime minister would disappear without a trace.
For a moment, facing General Guan's gaze, the late emperor was silent for a long time. After more than ten seconds, he finally nodded!
"That's right, second brother, I did this!"
"I originally just wanted to kill that old thief directly, but the people I sent out accidentally missed it, and that's why we ended up like this!"
After hearing this, General Guan's eyes showed a bit of shock, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Brother, why did you do this?"
As soon as these words came out, the late emperor had a look of determination on his face. Faced with his second brother's doubts, he did not hesitate and directly told the reason.
"Second brother, think about it carefully, why did we get acquainted with Mr. Wolong in the first place?"
"Do you still remember how much effort we spent to invite him?"
"Also, think about it when I was seriously ill and couldn't interfere with matters above the court. Everything could only be left to Dou'er, and he was still young at that time. If at such a juncture, the Prime Minister Come forward, when the time comes, will the land of Shu belong to him, Mr. Wolong, or to my biological son?"
As soon as these words came out, General Guan's eyes showed a bit of solemnity.
Although the late emperor's suspicion was somewhat helpless, it had to be said that it was indeed extremely possible!
Based on the reputation of the prime minister at that time, as long as he climbed up and shouted, countless people would immediately obey him!
Coupled with the prime minister's arrogance, if the late emperor was not here, I am afraid that no one would really be able to suppress him!
"Brother, just for the sake of belonging to this dynasty, is it really worth it for you to break your previous promise?"
In General Guan's heart, friendship is the most important thing.
Compared to the word "rebellious", everything else is a joke!
Even though he knew his eldest brother's character, General Guan still had no doubts at this moment and directly questioned him.
As soon as these words came out, the late emperor's eyes revealed a somewhat profound gaze.
At that moment, I couldn't help but sigh.
"At the beginning, I had no choice but to do it, but after it happened, I regretted it all the time!"
"But it's helpless. Now the deal is done. The prime minister is out now. I'm afraid he has endless resentment towards me in his heart!"
"Second brother, I hope that what you are doing is related to this secret. Now that the Prime Minister has come forward, no one knows what he is thinking!"
"I guess, with his resourcefulness, he must have guessed the truth of the whole thing. Even if this guy's influence is slightly inferior now compared to his original influence, but with his resourcefulness, it is no problem to conquer a country! "
"Second brother, I hope you can nip all these dangers in the bud. If you come forward, I can guarantee that the old thief will never be buried!"
"Second brother, eldest brother, I have never done a single wrong thing in my life. Only on this matter, I regret it very much. But now it is too late to regret it. For the future of Shu, I can only put this matter aside." The important responsibility is entrusted to you!"
The late Emperor wanted to take action himself first. If he just killed the prime minister, everything would naturally end there.
Unfortunately, there were flaws in the original plan, and now, the prime minister has returned.
No one knows how the prime minister will treat himself from this moment on.
In the late emperor's opinion, it is better to make mistakes yourself than to let others threaten you!
As the saying goes, strike first to gain the upper hand.
Since you can't figure it out clearly, it's better to nip all dangers in the cradle!
However, such a request is really difficult for General Guan.
The most important thing in his life is loyalty.
Now, after hearing what my elder brother said, I will kill someone who was kind to me in the past.
With General Guan's temperament, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. After a long time, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother, I did this!"
"But from now on, if this comes to pass, I will also retire to the mountains and forests and never be interested in worldly affairs again!"
When General Guan spoke, he readily agreed to the matter. However, as soon as the words fell, General Guan stood up.
Between his eyebrows, there was a hint of age, as if he had aged several years in an instant.
