By the time Bo Junhe returned to Chengdu, Mu Yan's identity had already been revealed to the world.

There is indeed something hidden in the cave that Bai Junhao mentioned, and it is something that no one can think of-the genealogy of the Li Tang royal family.

The jade documents were packed in several big boxes, all of which were heavy books, presumably Mu Yan stayed here because it was inconvenient for Mu Yan to take it with him when he left.That cave is not considered secret, but the cellar is well hidden. The entrance is at the deepest part of the cave. If Bai Junhao hadn't said something first, even if he came in with a lighted torch, he might not be able to find it. The emperor who had been playing with the applause was cheated.

With these jade certificates and the jade pendant engraved with the word "Tan" arranged by Gu Xian early in the morning, it is confirmed that Mu Yan is the former Tang Jianning King Li Tan.Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were surprised, but they felt that it was logical, and those who had enmity with Beiyan Dachu did not make any other guesses except for the Li family.

Bai Junhao's residual poison is still not cleared and he is recuperating in the palace, and the court relies entirely on Gu Xian to preside over the overall situation.Gu Xian didn't bring Fu Donglou with him to the court, Fu Donglou was not familiar with the government, if something went wrong or was caught by someone who deliberately found fault, then the good image that Fu Donglou had built before would be completely ruined.

Even so, Fu Donglou is not idle. He helps Gu Xian with paperwork, classifies memorials, compiles memorials, etc. in the palace every day. He is also busy from dawn to dusk.The four of Fenghuaxueyue followed Fu Donglou into the palace, and every day they felt distressed seeing the master being so busy, and they muttered every day that the prince should come back soon.

Both the government and the public thought that Gu Xian would take advantage of the emperor's poisoning to kill the Wang family, and the Xie family would also be finished. Who would have thought that Gu Xian would not do such a terrific job.The lineage of Wang Daozhi and Wang Shu'er must not be kept. Although the investigation results of the Ministry of Criminal Justice proved that Wang Shu'er was used by Mu Yan, the killing of the king is a fact.Wang Daozhi's whole family, old and young, ransacked and beheaded, and the rest of the Wang family were sent to serve as official slaves who were not registered as lowly. The Langya Wang family, which has been prominent for hundreds of years, was completely defeated.

The Xie family is not doing well either.Although they did not kill the king, all the evidence of their collusion with Mu Yan was confiscated by Qian Niuwei, and all members of the Xie family in Chen County lost their positions and were ordered to move out of Jinguan City within half a month.

Gu Xian's actions not only shocked the aristocratic family but also did not overly stimulate them, his sense of proportion was excellent, which made Fu Zekai, who was still recovering from his injuries, applaud secretly.Fu Zekai couldn't laugh or cry when his son was about to become the head of the country so soon, but his behavior became more and more low-key. It's hard to be a relative!On the other hand, Mrs. Qu, when she thought that Fu Donglou was going to be a queen, she became so angry that she beat and scolded her servants all day long to vent her anger. As a result, Dingguo's mansion was even more lively than the Wang and Xie families whose homes had been ransacked.

"Brother, please greet the emperor."

Bai Junhe secretly handed over the affairs of Chang'an to Bai Yi, and only explained to Jiang Han a few times before rushing back lightly.He didn't go into the city with a high profile like Fu Donglou, but only brought Lei Ting and the Jade Seal of the Kingdom into Chengdu quietly, so much so that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty now thought that King Rui was still in Chang'an.

After returning to the palace to freshen up, he didn't bother to talk to Fu Donglou, and Bai Junhe went straight into the palace to see Bai Junhao.

"You didn't come back fast. I thought you would arrive within five days, but it's been seven or eight days." Bai Junhe sent a letter to Gu Xian Feige on the night he met Bai Yi. He told Bai Junhao the news.Bai Junhao has recovered quite quickly in the past few days. Firstly, he is young, and secondly, he has relaxed a lot after letting go of the intrigue in the court. He will be better soon if he eats well and sleeps soundly.

"Get up and find a place to sit by yourself." Right now, Bai Junhao still looks like a big brother, and he has become easy-going and friendly without using the word "zhen".

It was the night of the accident when Bai Yi went to look for Bo Junhe, so neither father nor son knew about Bai Junhao's poisoning, and Bo Junhe still received the letter on the way.

"Chendi wants the throne, but it is not as urgent as you think, brother. Compared with that chair, I am more concerned about your body. What did the imperial doctor say? Are you okay now? The poisoning is not serious. It's going to go wrong."

Bo Junhe stood up and found a round stool and moved it to Bai Junhao's imperial concubine's couch and sat down.When he came in, he sent everyone out, not even Li Quan. He wanted to have a good talk with his brother.

"It's just that I can't die. Maybe I will be weaker in the future. It's okay. Anyway, I'm not good at martial arts and I don't have much martial arts to waste. I don't have to worry about being emperor in the future. Just find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to raise it. " Bai Junhao said with a smile, "It may cost a lot of expensive medicinal materials, you just don't want to detain me when the time comes, I don't have a daughter-in-law who can come up with golden ideas and make money."

Bo Junhe didn't speak, stretched his hands on the charcoal basin to warm the fire, and said for a while: "Brother, since you became the throne, you have been picking on me all the time, why this time..."

"Why didn't you take advantage of the matter of Uncle Wang and Queen Mother to punish the palace this time, or why did you suddenly think of the Zen seat this time?"

"Both."

"You sent everyone away. I want to drink water now, so Lord Laurie will pour you a glass of water. I can moisten my throat so I can say no to you slowly." Bai Junhao pointed to the kettle on the table, secretly said Today's situation really reversed the roles. In the past, it was Bai Junhe who was so casual.

Looking at Bai Junhao's fingers, Bai Junhe Gou hooked his lips, walked over and poured a glass of water for his brother.

"Let's talk about Uncle Wang first. It's simple. I don't believe that Uncle Wang has been having an affair with his queen mother all these years." Bai Junhao took a sip of water, moved his body and changed into a comfortable posture, and continued, " Those of us who are onlookers can see how the two Uncle Wangs feel about each other, and the Queen Mother is even more discreet. It is well known that the Queen Mother had a marriage contract with Uncle Wang back then. If the two of them were really in love, how could it be the situation today. "

"Furthermore, even if something really happened, we can only deal with it privately within the royal family. If the whole world knows about it, it will be our Bai family's face."

"Brother, you never thought that if I'm really not the son of the emperor, your meditation position is equivalent to giving our family's country to outsiders."

"Outsider?" Bai Junhao thought it was funny, "Even if you are really not the son of the emperor, I take back my will and don't take the throne. If you want this country, wouldn't you take it yourself? The Habayashi Army will always listen to you Yes, the rest of Dachu’s army also went to the battlefield with Uncle Wang. As you said, I may not be able to mobilize them. At that time, you will still sit on the throne, but I will become a prisoner from the royal family. "

It was rare for Bo Junhao to think so clearly, and Bo Junhe felt a little unbelievable.After a long silence, Bai Jun said softly, "My father is not dead. Back then, my father noticed that Mu Yan had a different intention but couldn't figure out the details of Mu Yan, so he asked my father to feign death and hide. He did this to deal with Beiyan."

This time it was Bai Junhao's turn to be surprised, but Gu Xian never told him that Bai Yi was still alive.

Staring at Bo Junhe for a while, Bai Junhao suddenly burst out laughing, tears streaming down his face. He leaned on the pillow, covered his eyes with one hand and took a long inhale and exhale to force himself to calm down.

Bai Junhe quietly watched his brother lose his composure, until Bai Junhao stopped smiling before taking out a handkerchief and stuffing it into Bai Junhao's hand.

"I've lived for more than twenty years, it's just a joke, I've never felt as funny as I am today...it's just..."

"Brother, at the beginning, Royal Father really wanted to pass on the throne to you. He adopted me to Prince Rui's Mansion as a compensation to Royal Father and Qing Father. All these years, Father didn't know that Father was still alive, until Father showed up some time ago. Only then did we know the truth. My father's hardships these years are not a lie, and my father never teased you, and my father will never make fun of Jiangshan Sheji."

"Don't you want to know why I decided to sit in Zen?" Wiping the corners of his eyes with Bai Junhe's handkerchief, Bai Junhao looked into his younger brother's eyes and said seriously, "Because I resigned to my fate."

"I have never been as good as you since I was a child. Although I am older than you, I am better than you in learning literature and martial arts. Although I have the title of the eldest son of the emperor, my mother's background is too low. After all, we are both The concubine gave birth to a son, but the mother's queen is the daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling, so you are not the son of the eldest son."

"Actually, I have thought about the Zen position since the day I came to the throne, but it was just a flash of thought at the beginning, and I never seriously thought about it. At that time, I always felt that my father chose me because I thought I could do it, so these I have been trying to suppress the palace for many years, and divided the monolithic imperial court into the imperial party and the royal party."

"Fu Zekai is my teacher, and he is also the minister of the emperor's life. He helped me and offended you. Now he is your father-in-law, so don't worry about him. He helped me For the sake of Da Chu, the sword is also for Da Chu, you should understand in your heart."

"Although Lou'er and Fu Zekai are not close, but they are father and son after all. I know Fu Xiang's intentions, and of course I won't make things difficult for him."

Bai Junhe responded to Bai Junhao's words, nodded and praised Fu Zekai, and said, "Msg Fu actually understands the most. You see, he is hiding in the mansion to recuperate his injuries in order to downplay his own existence. If he takes the opportunity to jump out How can I take over the throne just because he is the future head of state if he regains control of the government?"

Bai Junhao sighed: "You just need to understand, I don't think you will be confused. You don't know how happy I was when Uncle Wang came to ask me to marry you and Fu Donglou. You have been stepped on. Although I haven't become a queen yet, anyone who warms a bed in the harem will have a higher status than Fu Donglou."

"It's God's will to trick people." Bai Junhao smiled self-deprecatingly, "It is such an illegitimate son of barbarian blood who has gained a foothold in Dachu, even won the praise of the scholars, and even won your heart I really seriously considered the Zen throne when Fu Donglou helped you find the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. At that time, I really realized that the throne is not mine, and it never was."

"You are too superstitious about the Jade Seal of Chuanguo..." Bai Junhe frowned.

"You wouldn't understand my state of mind if you weren't in my situation." The bitterness on Bai Junhao's face couldn't be concealed, like a fallen leaf hit by autumn rain on the ground, his whole body looked low and haggard.

"The news that you got the Chuanguo Yuxi is like a big bell ringing in my ear, awakening my emperor's dream. I know that I can't take the Yuxi away from you, and I even think that I will take the Yuxi away I will return it to you sooner or later. I have struggled, but I found that the situation of the court is getting more and more complicated by me. You are right, many times I don’t think about whether your actions are beneficial to Da Chu, I just I want to suppress you."

"When I really make up my mind..." Bai Junhao patted his younger brother's hand, "I'm sorry, by the time I make up my mind, the government has already been messed up by me. If I hadn't touched Li Xie's daughter As a future thought, if I could handle it properly after Xie’s daughter’s miscarriage, maybe the aristocratic clan would not have the idea of ​​seizing power again, and the political situation in Dachu would not be what it is today. Uncle Wang told me about Jiangnan’s After what happened, I knew that I could no longer control the situation, and the Zen position could be regarded as my cowardly escape."

Bo Junhe shook his head, reassuring his brother: "The matter of Xie's daughter was an accident. It has nothing to do with Yuxi, nor has it anything to do with their ambitions. They have never been restless. The matter of Xie's daughter is just to comfort them. It's just an excuse for the heart of a minister."

"You didn't tell me that Uncle Wang is still alive until today. If I had known, I might have given up a long time ago." Bai Junhao smiled relieved, "I know you want the throne because I am not good enough to lead Chu to rule the world. , I also believe that you have this talent, and Da Chu will rely on you in the future."

Bai Junhe stood up, straightened his clothes, knelt in front of Bai Junhao, and solemnly kowtowed three times: "Your brother will definitely live up to your trust."

"In this way, when I close my eyes in the future, I will have the face to see my father..."

Bo Junhe knelt down for a while with lowered eyes, then slowly got up and said, "Brother, you must take good care of your health. In the future, my brother's heirs will still point at my brother."

"What do you mean?" Bai Junhao was startled.

"Lou'er is a man, and he and I will have no children. I have made a secret wish since I was adopted by my father, Wang Qing. If I get a sweet Wang Qing in the future, I will be dedicated to him. Although I will not soon King Rui is gone, but my promise to Lou'er will not change. Besides, Brother Huang is the heir designated by his father, and I am temporarily acting as Brother Huang because his health is not good enough to work hard. Successors are not heirs In the future, Da Chu's throne will still be inherited by the emperor's brother."

Bai Junhao was completely stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Alright, this way the pressure on you and Fu Donglou will be less. But I really didn't expect that you are so affectionate to him."

"He deserves it."

The handsome facial features outlined a charming smile, and Bai Junhao could feel happiness just by looking at his younger brother's face.

"God really favors you so much that I don't even have the strength to be jealous. Just do what you said..."
