"Listen to Xiangguo's words, do you know the deep meaning of my father's establishment of me as the crown prince?"

Luan Tiance leaned on the table, reached out to pick up a few chopsticks and dishes for Ming Youchen, and after putting the chopsticks away, he filled the glass in front of him with wine, "Speaking of this matter, don't say that King Zhao is not convinced, even now I still have Puzzled. Judging from the situation at that time, it should be the elder brother or the fifth younger brother who will become the great treasure, how could the father notice me, the prince who only knew how to mess around?"

"It's not as simple as it seems on the surface, especially in the emperor's house. The emperor's love may bring death to the child he likes." Ming Youchen said softly.

"Xiangguo means that my father ignored me back then, but it was out of a caring heart?"

"That's right. The first emperor valued King Zhao because, as the eldest son, he was older than the rest of his brothers and could deliver important tasks. The first emperor also loved the king of Chu sincerely, but entrusting the country cannot be based on personal preferences. Therefore, the first emperor He had been secretly observing the princes back then, so the emperor was naturally in his consideration."

"I remember that the prince who was punished the most by his father when he was young was me. At that time, with my eldest brother and fifth younger brother, I thought that it would be enough to go to a feudal prince with fertile land in the future. I never thought that my father would also Keep your eyes on me." Luan Tiance said in a self-deprecating manner, and unknowingly drank another bottle of wine.

"If it's easy for people to see what's on their minds, then they're not the former emperor." Ming Youchen said leisurely here, seeing Luan Tiance looking at him seriously, he seemed to want to hear his story, and his indifferent eyes finally became slightly warmer, " The emperor still remembers that one year during the Mid-Yuan Festival, the court lady came to report that several treasures enshrined in the temple of the ancestor emperor were missing?"

Luan Tiance looked sideways and thought hard for a while, then nodded slightly with his forehead pressed, it seemed that he also felt drunk and felt a little uncomfortable at this time.

"King Zhao, who was still the first prince at the time, got this matter and personally led people to investigate it. In a short time, he found out that it was a maid who secretly took treasures out of the palace to sell. The first prince suggested that the late emperor severely punish the sinners, and that those who blasphemed the founding king should be punished. The whole family of the palace servants ransacked and beheaded. The fifth prince heard that someone had touched the belongings of the ancestors, and he yelled that as long as the late emperor gave the order, he would immediately deal with the sinners on behalf of the king, and he was so proud at such a young age."

Having said that, Ming Youchen looked at Luan Tiance with a gentle expression, and the indifference between his eyebrows receded a little.

"When the crowd was angry, I remembered that the emperor who was still the third prince suddenly interrupted and said two sentences. The first sentence was that the palace maid made a mistake alone, and it was not a major crime of conspiracy to rebel. Why did you kill her whole family? Then, Your Majesty Ask again, why did she steal the belongings of the ancestors?"

"I remember that my father asked for a quick investigation. It turned out that the court lady in charge secretly withheld the monthly salary of the unqualified servant and the maid. The father of the maid fell ill and had no choice but to risk her life and steal the ancestor's offering. She committed a crime but The situation is pitiful, the father saw her filial piety in recovering the offerings, so he only sent her out of the palace with a staff, and returned the full amount of the deducted monthly salary, and asked her father to ask for medical treatment, and then severely punished The court lady in charge."

After drinking the wine in the glass, Luan Tiance's bright eyes became a little hazy. He rested his head on the desk, squinting at the famous Youchen who smiled softly.

"Relying on the emperor's two words, the evils in the palace were eliminated, and the reputation of the former emperor as a benevolent monarch was widely spread among the people." Ming Youchen lowered his eyes and said: "I think that at that time, the former emperor had another decision on who to appoint as the crown prince. Decide."

"Really?" Luan Tiance stared at Mingyou Chen with a half-smile, "Xiangguo is very clear about the late emperor's thoughts."

"Why is it difficult to guess? The first prince is talented but cruel and suspicious by nature. If he takes the throne, he will inevitably kill his brothers and sisters in the future; the fifth prince is born with supernatural power and extraordinary martial arts, but it's a pity that he is too emotional and acts impulsively, just for liking People who are willing to devote their allegiance to others, only have the talent of a general but not the appearance of an emperor. As for my friend, the second prince, His Highness Qing Ning, who is intelligent and open-minded, but without the support of a huge force behind him, it is difficult to take power."

Ming Youchen turned to look at Luan Tiance, who was drunk and hazy, and a sharpness flashed across his gentle eyes.

"The first emperor cherished the eldest son, loved the youngest son, and took care of the second son everywhere, but he saw that the third son was clear-headed, intelligent and kind, and he was the most suitable candidate to succeed the throne. This shows that the emperor is not an ordinary person. In the future, this country will depend entirely on His Majesty's support .”

"Xiangguo was joking again... Well, you come from a famous family, and you are the only person in my dynasty who has won the first prize in civil and military affairs. Hehe, Xiangguo even has a very good name. He cares about the country and the people, and cares about the world of mortals... That's really great." Luan Tiance twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a loud laugh, "Currently the imperial court and I can't live without the Prime Minister. Tell me, don't you?"

"Your Majesty, you are drunk, please don't drink any more." Ming Youchen frowned again after hearing these frivolous words.

"I'm not drunk! I said that Xiangguo got the name well, did I say something wrong?" Luan Tiance muttered dissatisfiedly.

"What's so special about your name? It wasn't because my late father wanted to serve the royal family wholeheartedly, and not to insult the loyalty and goodness of my famous family for generations, so I specially chose this name for my minister, hoping that I can do my best for the country and share the worries of the king. My late father did this for this reason. Visiting famous teachers and teaching ministers... I learned too many and complicated things when I was young, but I also missed a lot of fun time."

Ming Youchen's voice gradually became low, and at the end he was slightly lost in thought.

"I still remember that I learned calligraphy at the age of three, and practiced martial arts at the age of five. I spent every day under the strict teachings of my father and masters. I only wanted to do what my father wanted and not let him down."

"I see." Luan Tiance replied casually.

"Chen's mother is a well-known talented woman in the capital. She is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and astrology. She is the only one in the family who doesn't want me to get involved in officialdom. She also doesn't like the name of Chen very much. But she can't beat her husband in the end. I mean, against my will, I will give everything I have learned to my ministers."

Speaking of this, Ming Youchen secretly sneered, their famous family is now relying on his power to dominate the world, and they are gradually ignoring the royal family.If his father, who was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, was still alive, what would he think when he saw the deeds of future generations?

Ming Youchen inadvertently realized that he became famous at a young age and attracted the attention of the world. Although his father and family members were happy, others wanted to be envious.But how do these people know how much painstaking effort and effort he has put in?How could they understand the envy and isolation that follow envy and glory?How can you understand what he wants?

Ming Youchen stopped talking, his mind was in a trance, his fingertips suddenly felt warm, but it was Luan Tiance who held his hand tightly without knowing when.

Their palms touched each other, and they became slightly hot, causing Ming Youchen to feel a faint strange feeling in his heart.

"It turns out that Xiangguo's ability to read astrology is learned from your mother. Well, Lingtang's talent cannot be underestimated. I, too, was often reprimanded and punished by my father when I was young, and my mother wanted to be caring, but she has always been only for people. Sending meals to Zhen who was punished for copying the scriptures, I never asked my father to reduce my punishment. Every time my father finds a teacher for my fifth younger brother, my mother will definitely beg my father to let me go to study together."

Luan Tiance murmured, also caught in the memory, his eyes became more and more hazy, and finally he smiled self-deprecatingly.

"If the father has already decided who to pass on the throne to, whether the queen begs or not, he will let me and my fifth brother study together. From outsiders, it seems that I have been honored by my fifth brother, but in fact the person my father intends to cultivate is me, right? Hmph, his old man's mind is really hard to fathom!"

"This is the brilliance of the late emperor. He chose the emperor not only because the emperor is the most suitable successor, but also because the minister saved the emperor back then. The late emperor hoped that the minister would love the emperor and treat his majesty differently." , I hope that the minister will be loyal and responsible, and serve the Holy Grace."

When Ming Youchen said this, his eyes were slightly bitter, as if he felt helpless at the calculations of the former emperor of Tiandu, but he didn't know what to think of, and his eyes immediately became dark.

"However, the late emperor was also the first person in this world to tell his ministers that there was no need to do anything for him. For a long time, what the ministers heard in their ears were the ancestors who had to learn something and be worthy of famous people. , If you must serve the king loyally, but the former emperor did not treat his ministers that way, he said the opposite to his ministers, and never displayed the majesty of an emperor in front of his ministers, but it was heartbreaking. From him, the minister has learned a lot. "

At the end, Ming Youchen's gentle voice gradually died down, his eyes became soft, with some indescribable nostalgia and melancholy, he was in a daze, which made people feel inexplicably sad.

Luan Tiance, who was originally holding Ming Youchen's hand, suddenly exerted strength and threw the thought-stuck person down.

Ming Youchen was caught off guard, his head was dizzy for a while, he couldn't help closing his eyes, and when he opened them again, he found Luan Tiance's eyes glaring angrily, pressing on him, holding his shoulder tightly.The two of them stood face to face like this, looking at each other, as if not even a leaf could get in between them.

"Are you thinking about the father again! I forbid you to think about him, forbid you to mention him! Do you think I don't know how you think about the father? Do you think I don't know the things between the father and you?" Is it? Yes, you have always treated each other with courtesy, but that night, that night..."

Luan Tiance yelled here, as if he didn't want to think about it anymore, he lowered his head angrily, and bit Ming Youchen's slightly opened lips that were about to speak, biting harder and harder, then thrusting his tongue indiscriminately, searching for the body of the person under him. tongue.

Ming Youchen was deeply annoyed, not only because of Luan Tiance's rude behavior after drinking, but also because the emperor mentioned the night he was alone with the first emperor in an embarrassing tone.He raised his palm and slammed Luan Tiance on the back, but the emperor, restrained by drunkenness and anger, didn't react at all, and naturally he didn't move at all.

"Don't think about him, don't mention him, don't let you think about him anymore!"

Luan Tiance didn't seem to notice Ming Youchen's unhappiness and resistance, he spoke angrily, and every time he said a word, he lowered his head and bit Ming Youchen's lips hard again.

Gradually, the voices of these unreasonable words became weaker, and Luan Tiance's movements became softer; nibbling turned into kisses, which were printed on every corner of Ming Youchen's cheek one by one.

"Promise me, don't think about him again, Youchen... okay, Youchen."

Luan Tiance murmured and urged unconsciously, he said the same thing and pressed a kiss, the strength was gentle, like falling snow and flowers, but his hands vigorously shook Ming Youchen's shoulders, his hazy eyes suddenly became bright at this moment, his expression Wei Wei is a bit tough and domineering, but also full of grievances and expectations like a spoiled child.

The emperor unconsciously called out the name of the person in his arms and stopped calling himself Zhen, his tone became very natural, without thinking, affectation or hesitation, as if this was the most intimate and suitable self-proclaim he thought when facing Ming Youchen.

"Hmm..." Ming Youchen let out a shallow groan inadvertently.

The anger that should have exploded was overwhelmed by the inexplicable soft-heartedness. He suddenly had a feeling that he didn't want to face Luan Tiance, and he didn't want to look at the longing eyes of this man who was four years younger than him, as well as the strong, smug taste that came out of the other's mouth. The hot breath of strong wine.

"Your majesty, you're drunk." With some difficulty uttering these words, Ming Youchen's palm fell a little less forcefully this time, and he moved his eyes away from the emperor's, "Such a thing is not It should happen again, the emperor should choose his concubine according to the etiquette, and bestow rain and dew on the courts of the harem, so that one of them will give birth to a prince for Tiandu as soon as possible."

"I'm not drunk! I'm sober! I knew you would say something like this again! When you come here three nights a month, have you never said it? When have you really acquiesced in getting close to me? Obviously, I have worked hard , as long as one of those women can give birth to a prince for me, I don't have to spend every night with them!"

Luan Tiance suddenly raised his head, shook his head slightly, and said bitterly again: "It's a pity that they either didn't move or were pregnant with the dragon seed and shed it. What do you want me to do?"

Ming Youchen frowned slightly, his face remained calm and calm, but he already expressed that he didn't like hearing such remarks.

"Your Majesty, please be careful. The women in the harem of Tiandu are also the subjects of the Emperor. They love the sage and are virtuous and virtuous. They should not be regarded as reproductive tools by the Emperor. In my opinion, the Emperor should establish a queen as soon as possible. The Empress Dowager By the way, is it still not confirmed?"

"I won't stand behind!"

Hearing Luan Tiance yell out these words in anger, Ming Youchen shook his head and smiled wryly. It seems that the emperor is really drunk, and he is talking nonsense at this time?Looking up, he saw Luan Tiance approaching a little bit closer, the smell of alcohol in his mouth became stronger, Ming Youchen was thinking about how to persuade him, the emperor who was pressing on him spoke again.

"If you are a woman, I will definitely appoint you as the empress and dismiss the Six Courts, leaving only the Central Palace!"

"Your Majesty, you are talking drunkenly. Let me let you hear it. I will say it again in the future." Ming Youchen was shocked, and then he was annoyed that the emperor compared him to a woman who served the emperor by herself.

"I said that I am not drunk! You are not a woman, and I can make you my queen in the future! I am the king of a country, what do I want to do, can those ministers and people in the world still control me?"

Speaking of this, Luan Tiance was very happy, he tried to open his eyes wide, grinned subconsciously, and looked at Ming Youchen, not paying attention to the other's sullen gaze.

Following the emperor's frowning, he seemed to be trying very hard to observe Ming Youchen's reaction, the application seemed both excited and innocent, as if blaming Ming Youchen for not being as happy as he was after listening to these words from the bottom of his heart.

Feeling like being vomited by Luan Tiance like this, Ming Youchen felt that the little emperor gave him a headache for the first time.Just as he was turning his mind and thinking about how to get rid of the other party's drunkenness, Luan Tiance pressed down his lips with a mellow aroma of wine again, and slowly kissed the corners of his lips with a gentleness and consideration that was completely opposite to the domineering and arrogant one before.

The emperor's tongue thrust in at the moment when Ming Youchen lost his mind, entangled extremely, and the palm of his hand unconsciously pinched the person he was grasping even tighter.

This may be the first official kiss between them. Unlike the previous revenge and mischief, just four lips touching make people feel that they will be burned by each other's breath.

After the half-forced, half-tricky, and half-tender deep kiss was over, the two people on the couch were panting slightly, and at the same time felt some lingering tenderness strangely. It was only a moment later that Luan Tiance's mind was in turmoil, and Ming Youchen's Wei Wei feels annoyed.

"You Chen, You Chen, You Chen." Luan Tiance's bright eyes became foggy, as if he couldn't see the face of the person in front of him clearly, but he still called Ming Youchen softly.

The emperor's hot lips slowly fell to the neck of the person under him, his hands slid down, and he groped passionately into Xiangguo's clothes, and then hurried to untie the other party's belt, and said softly: "Look Look at me, you have to know that it is me who treats you like this at this moment."

"No." Ming Youchen scolded softly, he could barely tolerate Luan Tiance's close approach these days, it was not easy not to turn against the emperor, and Xiangguo never had sex with him again.

However, this time it seemed to be different from the last time, the feeling of humiliation disappeared, and the anger turned into annoyance, and more of it was unwillingness and inappropriateness.

Ming Youchen felt conflicted, he would never force himself to do something he didn't want to accept, the little emperor had lust for him, in his opinion, it was absurd and unbelievable, but why couldn't he simply do something against the emperor thing?

"Your Majesty, if you don't let go, don't blame the minister for being rude!"

Ming Youchen gritted his teeth and made the final warning, but Luan Tiance ignored it. He tightly circled Ming Youchen with one hand as if to show his possession, while the other hand quickly slid down Ming Youchen's tough and strong waist restlessly, stroking Passing through a large piece of delicate and soft skin, it went directly between the legs of the person under him without any mistakes, held the warmth of the pulse, and rubbed it vigorously.

"Remember well, the person who is hugging you right now is me!"

Obviously the emperor's eyes were burning with helpless jealousy, and it was obvious that this was an overbearing and rude sentence, but Luan Tiance said it at the moment, but it seemed extremely gentle, as soft as the kiss he had printed on Ming Youchen's body through his clothes.

Ming Youchen was shocked, he opened his mouth but found that he couldn't speak at this moment.It was the first time he stretched out his hands in embarrassment to reject Luan Tiance's encroachment, even the last time he was forced to do so, Ming Youchen secretly blamed him for his abnormality, no longer hesitated, and took another shot again.

Before Ming Youchen pushed Luan Tiance away, he suddenly felt his chest sink, but the emperor, who was still in high spirits before, now fell asleep lying on top of him with his eyes closed; not long after, a slight snoring sounded.

Looking at the thick black hair nestled in the middle of his chest, Ming Youchen subdued his anger slightly, he took a breath to calm himself, moved his hands with difficulty to straighten the messy clothes that had been hugged by the emperor before, and made people come in with a deep voice Remove the table on the couch where the food and wine are placed.

The people who came in were of course Gu Deng and Shen Ye. They lowered their heads and removed the case, and then covered the two people in the collapsed quilt. During the whole process, they didn't look at the emperor who was lying on his master's body and sound asleep. It seems that Ming Youchen is the only one in Yehong Palace.

Everything returned to silence, Ming Youchen listened to Luan Tiance's more and more regular breathing, and his troubled thoughts slowly returned to tranquility. He raised his head and let out a sigh of unknown meaning, and gently encircled Luan Tiance's with his two hands that had not been clapped before. Head and shoulders, eyes gradually closed.

When he woke up the next day, Luan Tiance was in good spirits, but Ming Youchen had a severe headache after drinking a few glasses of wine.Luan Tiance ordered the imperial doctor to bring the hangover soup, brought the soup himself, tasted it first, and then slowly fed it to Ming Youchen.

"The emperor actually tested the medicine for his minister, isn't he afraid that someone will poison the medicine?" Ming Youchen looked at the emperor indifferently, "If I die, can the emperor really take charge of the government?"

"A joke! I will take what I want with my own hands. It's easy to get something for nothing, but I don't care for it! Didn't I promise it before? One day, I will make the Prime Minister willingly recognize my strength and rule the world with dignity!" Luan Tiance said in a deep voice. .

Seeing the emperor's firm gaze and unshakable tone, Ming Youchen's faint sarcasm and doubts with half-closed eyes slowly disappeared.

"and……"

"and?"

Luan Tiance said two words inexplicably and then stopped talking, Ming Youchen also interjected to ask, their tacit understanding was very good at this time, so they were each slightly stunned.

"Moreover, I want Xiangguo to be by my side all the time, to help me stabilize the country...to warm the couch and warm the bed." Speaking of the last four words, the pride and solemnity in Luan Tiance's words turned into teasing and intimacy.

"The emperor is talking nonsense again." Ming Youchen lowered his eyes and reprimanded lightly: "The subject and the emperor are both men, how can they do that unethical thing again and again?"

"Why not?"

"Since ancient times, monarchs and ministers have been different, and they should follow the way of yin and yang between men and women."

"Then what about Xiangguo and the former emperor?" Luan Tiance heard Ming Youchen repeatedly declined, thinking that his sincerity would be exchanged for indifference and indifference, and he spoke out in anger.After the words were spoken, the emperor regretted secretly, he knew that he was not impatient, but it was a pity that it was always difficult to take it easy when facing Ming Youchen.

Ming Youchen didn't change his expression when he heard Luan Tiance's angry words this time, he silently raised his eyes to look at the silent emperor, and seemed to think of something again, tiredness and weariness appeared in his eyes.

"Even if there is no suspicion or estrangement in the hearts of the minister and the emperor, the minister has never thought of accompanying the holy car. Because there is no heaven and earth suitable for two men to know each other and coexist."

"I will create it!" Ming Youchen's indifferent voice just fell, Luan Tiance suddenly shouted loudly, his tone was firm and serious, without hesitation and shrinking, it stunned Ming Youchen who was previously indifferent and said perfunctory words.

Luan Tiance suddenly laughed, there was no playfulness in his eyes, his gaze was directly on Ming Youchen's peaceful face, and he spoke again word by word.

"The sky you want, the land you want, I will create it for you in the future! You just need to stop avoiding and treat me fairly."

Ming Youchen's heart was shocked when he heard the words, and he frowned unconsciously, but his face and eyes were not disturbed, and he silently raised his head to meet the emperor's persistent and deep gaze, calm as before, and he couldn't see the slightest wavering.

"I will never let you go!"

After vowing to leave this sentence, Luan Tiance took a deep look at the thoughtful Ming Youchen, turned and left.

Kneeling to send the emperor away, Gu Deng and Shen Ye looked at the door of the palace where Luan Tiance left by coincidence, dazed.

"You two, are you wondering why the emperor treats me so well?"

"The servant girl used to only say that His Majesty hates Your Excellency, but just now the Emperor has shown compassion towards His Excellency, it is really affectionate."

"If I die and the emperor doesn't take back the real power, there might be troubles in my family, and the loss will not be worth the loss; plus the current diplomatic relations are up to me, if something happens to me, it is difficult to guarantee that those neighbors with ulterior motives Raise troops to commit crimes."

Ming Youchen said with a faint smile, "The emperor is very shrewd, he knows more about the seriousness of this than anyone else, so of course he doesn't want me to die right now."

Seeing Ming Youchen say these words as usual, and thinking of Luan Tiance's intimacy and ambiguity towards him, both Shen Ye and Gu Deng shuddered a few times, deeply ashamed that they have been in the palace for many years, and their eyes and thoughts are so superficial.

In the early court of this day, Ming Youchen did not go to the court to assist the government, and the officials looked at each other, not knowing what to do.After thinking about it, everyone understands that the smart thing to do at this time is to keep silent, but there are two things that are dangerous to Tiandu, so the Minister of the Ministry of War dare not say nothing.

After hesitating again and again, the Minister of the Ministry of War, who was covered in cold sweat, still opened his mouth in a deep voice under the watchful eyes of the famous family and his disciples, and reported to the emperor that the Queen of Liang Kingdom had suddenly led an army to the border, and there were also rumors circulating in Kyoto recently that the king of the foreign race in the south wanted to raise troops. Rumors of rebellion.

"The King of the South rebelled?" Luan Tiance, who was sitting in the middle of the dragon chair, frowned first, and then said with a smile: "Xiangguo makes good use of talents, and he will not send useless people to guard the south. Since the imperial court has not received the military report of King Nan's rebellion, it must be It’s just spreading. You pass on my spoken words, so that General Zhennan will strictly guard against people with ulterior motives who take the opportunity to make trouble. Other matters will be discussed after Xiangguo recovers from his illness.”

People from famous families felt radiant when they heard the emperor's arrangement, so they had no objection.

"The minister obeys the order."

"As for the queen of Liang Kingdom who suddenly led an army to press in, what is the name of the army?" Luan Tiance asked.

"The Queen of Liang Kingdom sent a letter of credence, and asked Xiangguo to read it personally. Others are not allowed to read it, so I don't know the reason why she sent troops to the border."Everyone knows who has the real power in Tiandu, but this is the first time such a blatant provocation has happened.

Luan Tiance didn't even frown this time, he smiled and turned his head to look at Du Chengjing who was standing beside him.The old eunuch immediately sent this letter of credence that no one could open to Yehong Palace.

"Since the Queen of Liang Kingdom has something important to discuss with Xiangguo, I need to let him know the other party's intentions in real time, so that I can make an early decision to retreat. By the way, several forward generals from the right battalion are following Xiangguo, you all retreat. Say hello to him, and discuss this matter with Xiangguo by the way."

"Your servants will abide by the holy will." The generals of the famous families who held part of the military power were even more relieved to see that the emperor was so knowledgeable and interesting, and they all bowed to receive the order.

"Let's go." Luan Tiance waved his hand seemingly casually, and Du Chengjing hurriedly shouted to leave the court, and followed the emperor to leave the court hall in strides while all the officials bowed down.

Luan Tiance turned his head to look at the newly recruited servant, with a half-smile in his eyes, "It seems that you are very worried about Xiangguo's condition."

"That's because the old slave knows that His Majesty still doesn't want to see Lord Xiangguo go west, so he is very concerned about his condition." Du Chengjing lowered his voice when he said these words, and only let Luan Tiance alone People hear.

Luan Tiance finally stopped, looked back at the old servant with lowered eyes and drooping face, and said slowly, "No wonder the late Emperor liked to let you, an old servant, serve you when he was alive. You have some eyes."

"Your Majesty's praise made the old slave blush." ​​Du Chengjing said respectfully, his tone was not embarrassing.

"You followed the first emperor for many years, and you took the initiative to invite Shouling after his old man Longyu Bintian. This loyalty is really commendable."

When Luan Tiance saw the mention of the former emperor, the old eunuch had a flash of nostalgia in his eyes, and he smiled and said again, "I specially transferred you from the imperial mausoleum to accompany you because of your loyalty and patriotism. Now, you who have served the late Emperor and Zhen, tell me, what do you think is the difference between the late Emperor and the late Emperor?"

Du Chengjing's face was slightly terrified, and after a moment of silence, he still spoke under Luan Tiance's urging eyes to forgive him for his innocence.

"The first emperor and your majesty are both true dragon emperors, majestic and heroic, striving to rule, and making hundreds of officials and all people submit, but now your majesty is facing a rather embarrassing situation, which is a problem that the late emperor did not encounter.

"Forgive this old slave for being presumptuous. This old slave thinks that it's not that His Majesty is incompetent, but that the current situation has become like this. Your Majesty has devoted himself to this alone, and is subject to restraint everywhere. For the time being, he is not as free and easy as the late emperor who swung the country and was full of pride."

"Stop it. You glib old eunuch, you talk a lot, but it's just good nonsense." Luan Tiance stopped smiling and asked suddenly: "You used to be favored by the late emperor. You can't leave his old man every step of the way, so you naturally know a lot of things?"

"Whatever Your Majesty wants to know, this old slave will tell you everything." Du Chengjing bowed and said.

"I originally thought you would shirk and say that you didn't know about some things... just like that night, when Ming Xiangguo was accompanied by an imperial edict, the first emperor only let you stay at the palace gate and pass messages to the maids and imperial doctors for them. It’s because I’m quite curious about the late emperor’s trust in you.”

"If His Majesty wants to know what happened that night, this old slave will not hide a word."

Hearing such an answer, Luan Tiance snorted, turned around and continued walking.He knew that Du Chengjing, a clever old servant, saw that he was not so boring, and asked a humble servant about things other than the government and power.

"If you really fulfilled my wish, wouldn't you have broken your oath of loyalty to the late emperor?" Luan Tiance walked out of the imperial garden and put down his words in a serious manner.

"This old slave is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor in Tiandu, and he respects and remembers the late Emperor, so he is naturally loyal to His Majesty." Du Chengjing said, and this nasty confession came out of his mouth, and it didn't feel artificial.

Luan Tiance knew that the old eunuch in front of him who had been submitted to the mausoleum after the death of the first emperor had no sons and no daughters, and he had already seen through life and death and honor and disgrace, so there was no need for the other party to deliberately flatter him.So he nodded casually, and ordered: "You go and get ready, I'm going out of the palace to the Chu Palace."

"Yes." Du Chengjing answered with his back hooked, and stepped back to mobilize the escort.
