Father, don't!

Then he said: "San'er, I have other arrangements." I was taken aback, glanced at my elder brother, who nodded indifferently, at this point I saluted my elder brother, parted ways, and followed my father back to Zhaohe Palace.Although it was already late at night, the emperor did not rest because of the fatigue of the journey, and he did not even order Li Donglai to wait for him to wash up. He just took Li Donglai and me to Zhaohe Gongshuge all the way.

What the father did was really not quite right, I looked at the father in puzzlement along the way, he just slightly raised his hand and pressed his palm to appease me, signaling me not to worry.Then he ordered people to move all the Zhaohe palace guards outside Shuge five steps forward to ensure that they could not hear the conversation in the palace.Even Li Donglai, who was closest to his father, was sent away by him.When my Sanzhang monk couldn't figure it out, my father, who had been sitting in front of the case in the book pavilion, patted my shoulder for fear of me, motioned me not to speak, then suddenly turned to the beam and said softly: "Come down. "

Immediately, I stood up straight sensitively, and stretched out my hand to the palace knife wound in the waist behind me, faintly protecting my father behind me.However, in almost a blink of an eye, ten black-clothed men were kneeling in the hall a few days before the father's case. They were all dressed in black, with a long knife behind their backs, and daggers on both sides of their waists. All ten of them were masked, and at first glance they looked almost identical, the only feature being a dark red dragon embroidered on the black fabric on their left arms.

Immediately, I understood that this is the last strong protection for my father, the dark guard.But I was still puzzled, looking at my father, I saw him looking at these hidden guards and asking: "I have been away from the palace for so many days, is there any movement?"

"Report to the Emperor." One of them bowed his hands and half knelt on the ground, his voice extremely hoarse: "The subordinates and others are monitoring the court. These days, the activities of various parties are ordinary, and they all visit here and there under the guise of New Year's worship." The royal father smiled coldly, gently picked up the teacup on the desk, brushed off the tea leaves, and took a sip: "A group of monkeys, the tigers can't stand it anymore without the tiger."

Where did I dare to make a sound, I had to stand by.What I'm hearing right now is the most secret thing about my father, and these hidden guards are my father's cards.It's just that after I heard the news, I felt that the situation was complicated. The parties in the DPRK had indeed begun to feel restless.But I didn't expect them to be so courageous. The emperor just went out of the palace, and he could start to visit officials from all walks of life and collude with the party so blatantly.

Father didn't pause for long, and said, "Where are the others?"

Another hidden guard took out a bamboo tube from his arms, kneeling towards me, I immediately reacted and stepped forward to take it and pass it to my father.Seeing his father opening the sealing wax on the bamboo tube, the man also said in a hoarse voice: "The few powerful people in the court are very peaceful, but Liu Cheng has met many people during this period. Among them, Liu Cheng Mrs. Cheng handed over the palace card, went into the palace to meet Concubine Xiao, and secretly gave the concubine a brocade handkerchief." The guard paused and said, "The content on the brocade handkerchief is secret, but in the imperial concubine's room I found clues in the "Nvjie" in the book, so I translated it into a secret report, please read it."

I watched my father pull out a piece of paper from the opened bamboo tube, and I was very puzzled.Father, however, opened the secret report in a very ordinary way, opened it to look at it, and then snorted coldly.Passed this secret report to me casually, which made me stunned, but I couldn't go against the holy will in front of outsiders, so I had to take it and read it.

I don’t know if I don’t read it, but I’m startled when I see it!This is a letter, to be exact, a secret letter from Liu Cheng to his daughter, Concubine Xiao.The content is very simple, let her stay in the palace and monitor the movements of all the princes, especially carefully monitor me by name.The last paragraph is very speculative.

'...Father, the ambition, the son must remember.The time of anticipation is approaching, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.If the right time, place and people are in harmony, great things can be accomplished!Son, don't be kind to women, but act decisively.If the son succeeds, he only needs to act according to the plan, and the father will rise up and force the palace to seize the throne! ..."

I took a deep breath, and immediately understood that Liu Cheng's intention of treason had been planned for a long time, but there was really very little information that could be read from these few words.Among them, what Liu Cheng meant was more to appease and exhort than to warn and warn, as if he was asking Concubine Xiao to do something for her plan.If you analyze the things in it, it should not be difficult to guess their general actions and plans.

Royal father probably saw that I was silent for a long time and stared at the secret letter in a daze, so he asked me: "San'er, can you see the clue? But it's okay, there is no outsider here." I heard the last sentence of father's last sentence. Without outsiders, they knew that these hidden guards were absolutely trustworthy, so they confidently and boldly spoke out their thoughts.

"Father, in Liu Chengxin's letter, the 'time of anticipation is near'...does it refer to the day when they rebelled? After careful calculation, it seems that only the New Year's Day and the Lantern Festival are special among the recent days." I looked at After listening to my words, my father thought for a while, and continued: "The possibility of the New Year's Day is not very high, let alone the New Year's Day is approaching, and it has been snowing heavily for the past few days, and the road is impassable. Even if Liu Cheng doesn't consider his own army Soldiers will also consider the issue of marching when they go home for reunion.”

Father looked at me, and said slowly: "So, you mean that Liu Chenghui is aiming at the Shangyuan Festival?"

"Even if it's not, it's still a very important day for their plans. He said after the letter, 'Everything is ready, the only thing we need is the east wind. If the time, place, and people are in harmony, great things can be accomplished!' I'm afraid, there are still people who can help him , and on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, it will be a meeting of hundreds of nations that the court has reserved for a long time."

As soon as I said this, my father's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered: "From now on, all the soldiers and horses of the countries around Jiacha will move around. If there is any movement, report immediately."

I paused, thought for a while and said, "Does the father want to inform the prince?"

Father waved away the hidden guards, turned his face and looked at me in surprise, "Why?" I said carefully, "It is impossible for Liu Cheng to know the people in his family for making such a big move. Moreover, Liu Cheng formed a clique for personal gain. The slogan is the princeling party, although I don't believe that the prince will rebel with Liu Cheng, it is hard to guarantee that the general Bai Hu who is next to the prince will not know about it.

The royal father smiled, "Bai Hu? Haha he won't, he belongs to your second brother, he is loyal to your second brother, and he will never do such a thing." The royal father thought about it again, and said "But you are right. It is inevitable that he will not receive any rumors. However, it is inconvenient for me to intervene at this time. I will inform the prince about this tomorrow and let him ask Bai Hu."

I nodded, and then said: "My son also implores my father, from today onwards, no one can enter inside or outside the Zhaohe Palace without my father's warrant." I thought about the most important thing I would say later, gritted my teeth and knelt down I fell to the ground, which surprised my father immediately: "What are you going to do?" After speaking, he stretched out his hand to help me up.

But I still insisted on kneeling, and said: "First, please forgive my son's boldness!"

"Why?"

"I implore Father, from today onwards, to no longer have any concubine in Linxing Palace!" As soon as these words came out, I felt that Father's aura stopped!I didn't make any movements for a long time, but I really felt that my father was standing in front of me, his eyes were fixed on me.

It wasn't until my knees started to go numb that my father's voice came lightly. "San'er, what does this mean?"

I didn't raise my head, but I reorganized my thoughts in my heart and said: "The last sentence in the letter is 'If the son succeeds, just follow the plan, the father will raise troops and force the palace to seize the throne!" Now, what exactly did Liu Cheng ask Concubine Xiao to do? Please forgive me for being disrespectful. What I conjecture is that Liu Cheng wants Concubine Xiao to murder Father." I did not stop here, but analyzed Said: "At the beginning of the whole article, Concubine Xiao was only asked to monitor all the princes in the palace, but did not attack us. It can be seen that in Liu Cheng's eyes, the fourth brother, me and elder brother are not a threat to him. And his letter is exactly what it says. Notification is more like a warning, 'Son, don't be benevolent, but act decisively' I'm afraid I want to make Concubine Xiao, intending..." I always feel that this word pops out of my mouth, and it always makes me I was extremely uncomfortable in my heart, so I couldn't say that word for a long time.

"Kill me." The emperor's faint tone made me sound very downcast, even a little bit regretful.I immediately knelt down and said, "Your servant is bold."

Father took a step forward, helped him up, and said: "If Concubine Xiao has this ability, I won't be able to keep her, there is nothing to say." I stood up and looked at Father, but I didn't see how sad he was, and I was suddenly surprised: Why was my father's tone so regretful when I told the reason just now?

Just when I was thinking wildly, my father said: "San'er, I know you are thinking about me, and I promise you not to go to the harem." My face gradually became happy, but my father said again: "But if I don't go , Liu Cheng changed his plan to assassinate me, what should I do?"

I was stunned for a moment, this...couldn't the royal father not take those imperial guards at the door seriously?Aren't they all directly subordinate to their father, but elites selected from the army?However, my father said so, and I couldn't refute it, so I said: "Then father means..."

Father said to me solemnly: "To be on the safe side, from today onwards, you will sleep with me in case of accidents." He looked at me with a embarrassed expression, and said very seriously: "San'er, your analysis can be described as It is outstanding and well-organized, but it is still a bit lacking in deployment, and it is not so comprehensive."

"Yes, I would like to follow my father's teachings
