Can Drink A Cup of Nothing

This conversation did not last long, and soon, the palace servant who notified him brought Emperor Yuan's oral order.

After hearing Emperor Yuan summoned him to go there, Zong Luo did not delay any longer, just talked nonsense with Yu Beizhou for one more second, and left with the palace servant.

So Zong Luo didn't realize that it was the first time that he was speechless when he said Yu Beizhou.

The red-clothed youth stood there for a long time, with a gloomy expression on his face. When the corner of the white shirt disappeared, he stepped forward and followed.

When he returned to the Golden Throne Hall, the people in the hall who were kneeling on the ground were long gone.

The waiters carried the table and put the lunch on the table. The hot meal was steaming hot.

"My son sees my father."

With his back facing the temple gate, he stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the Qixing Longyuan in front of him and said, "Sit."

The face behind Mian Yan was still cold and hard, and there was no one around, only Zong Luo Shi softened a little. Who would have thought that just before a cup of tea, the tyrant was so angry that he not only ordered Xue Yushi to investigate the matter, but also drove all the servants of the Prince's Palace out of the palace, and even announced that the participants would die.

With such a simple sentence, now the entire imperial city is shaking. Especially the people from the Sixth Prince's Mansion, they were so frightened.

Even after the last time Emperor Yuan ordered Pei Qianxue to make drastic reforms and bloodbathed the imperial city, the tyrant had not shown his anger for a long time.

However, this does not mean that the people in the imperial city have forgotten that the people who were under the terror/rule of this tyrant were panicked, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

On the contrary, precisely because Emperor Yuan had not been angry for a long time, this time his anger was even more terrifying.

You know, that is the fourth prince! !

When he first ascended the throne, it can be said that the sibling relationship is at least no better than his own parent-child. However, the fourth prince is indeed the blood of Emperor Yuan, and the tiger's poison does not eat his son. For many years, unless the plot of the rebellion is bad, most of the kings of the kingdoms have relegated him to a commoner, and it is rare to directly give him death.

This time, I don't know how many old ministers were frightened.

It was rumored back then that Emperor Yuan not only killed the killer's feet, but even forced the late emperor to death. Thinking about it this way, it's normal to kill a killer's feet, kill a father, and kill a prince.

What Emperor Yuan wanted was this result.

Zong Luo was not in a hurry to take the seat, he considered his words: "My son just went to the prison to meet the fourth emperor's younger brother, and my son thinks...the fourth emperor's younger brother is at least the body of the prince, and the father has given him a poison. Alcohol, inevitably hurts."

If Zong Chengsi really rebelled, Zong Luo would not speak for him.

But at the end of the day, there is a high probability that Zong Chengsi will be framed by Yu Beizhou in this life, but it is the most common murder and silence.

In the last life when Emperor Yuan was alive, such a thing never happened. This is still the case after rebirth... Zong Luo, as the prince, still has to say a few words. After all, it is common for stubborn killers to ascend to the throne, but it is really uncommon for emperors to kill sons. If the name of the tyrant, Emperor Hou Yuan, spreads, I am afraid that it has to be on par with the great tyrants of all dynasties, Jie Zhou.

Emperor Yuan said indifferently: "On the first day of being the Crown Prince, you actually persuaded you, and you are getting more courageous."

Everyone knows that Pei Qianxue is the only one who can persuade Emperor Yuan to retreat.

In addition, even Xue Yushi and Shen Tingwei's a few confidants have to think carefully.

"My son just thinks that the fourth emperor's younger brother failed to conspire and won't be given death, but it is absolutely enough to be demoted to a commoner and assigned to the frontier. And... I'm afraid that the father's emperor's prestige will be hindered."

"If the rebellion succeeds, I'm afraid you won't see him for the last time today."

Facing the only persuasion that dared to speak out in rebellion, Emperor Yuan did not get angry, but calmly ordered the palace servants to prepare dishes: "Is that the kind of person who cares about the history of future generations?"

"My son doesn't dare."

Although Zong Luo thought so, it was another matter for Emperor Yuan to say so.

After finishing the dishes, all the palace servants in the Zhang Palace retreated one by one with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, closed the doors and windows of the palace tightly, and left this place to the father and son.

"I have practiced tyranny for many years. Although I can appease the people in troubled times and enrich the country and strengthen the army. But have you ever thought that if I didn't do this, would I be able to stabilize this group of ill-conceived subjects?"

"Let's not talk about Zong Chengsi for the moment. The old general of the Dingbei military mansion is standing behind the old fifth. The old man's house and the half-dynasty civil and military are almost all related by marriage. Not to mention that after the reform, they came from other countries. Da Yuan's people who seek opportunities and are ambitious are all young people who want to make a career. Do you think that when I ascended the throne, what means did I use to suppress those old officials who depended on the old and sold the old in the shortest time and the fastest speed? "

This was the first time that Emperor Yuan had talked openly about state affairs with him.

Zongluo has learned the way of being a king in Guigu, and he also has experience and wisdom before reading books. In this regard, he can be considered to have never eaten pork but has seen pig run. He is definitely a giant in theory. Not difficult.

As the tyrant spoke, he calmly put a chopstick dish into Zongluo's bowl: "I don't care about reputation. But once I have three strengths and two weaknesses, these people will immediately turn into jackals, not vegetarians."

Facts have proved that Emperor Yuan has reached an extremely terrifying level in trying to figure out people's hearts, and his vision and wisdom are by no means comparable to ordinary people.

Because of what he guessed, Zong Luo had witnessed it with his own eyes in his previous life.

After Emperor Yuan suffered a sudden illness and the news was conclusive, all the shadows in the imperial city rose.

"So, I will kill more people with bad intentions. It can also be regarded as clearing obstacles for you."

The emperor lifted his chopsticks, and his voice echoed in the empty hall.

Zong Luo, who had been burying his head in cooking, opened his eyes wide.

In his memory, Emperor Yuan had almost never been so frank. Even that night, he confided the truth while drunk.

However, now, perhaps the witch sacrifice ceremony has passed, and the matter of the prince is a foregone conclusion. There is no need for Emperor Yuan to follow the ancestral teachings and traditions of the clan, but clearly put his love for his son in front of him, and he is not afraid of being known by others.

"Father..."

Zongluo forced himself to divert his attention so that he could ignore the guilt and guilt surging in his heart.

After so long, he has been able to cover up his true feelings very skillfully. In fact, he is numb, but he can also behave as usual, like a dumb wooden man.

This numbness comes from everything Zonlo has been through.

He could no longer burst out the anger of fighting with Yu Beizhou when he was at Hanmenguan.

Even the sea, after experiencing a storm, will become peaceful, even if the undercurrent hidden beneath it is anxious and painful, and cannot be relieved.

"You plead for the fourth child, it means that you care about your siblings, which is very good. But I have my own plans for this matter. Instead of enclosing them to other places, it is better to put a long line to catch big fish and wait for your own hands and feet. Whether it is Dingbei The military mansion, or the mansion of the Sixth Prince, I will clean up one by one."

"The era of turbulence requires tyranny, and the era of peace requires benevolent governance. Dayuan needs a benevolent monarch who will end tyranny. You have to work hard in this direction in the future. Let me be a bad guy and take this tyrant to the end."

It is estimated that Emperor Yuan is the first time to talk to others about his plans so patiently, breaking them apart bit by bit. As usual, who would dare to expect a tyrant to be so leisurely.

After he finished speaking, he instructed his servants to remove the table, and he also pulled a few copies of the memorial, pointing to the words on it, and explained it in detail with Zong Luo. Wait until the sun outside gradually slants westwards and moves past noon, then stop.

"If you have time, I will often come to Zhang Palace in the afternoon to review the memorials with me."

The more Emperor Yuan treats him, the more Zongluo owes him.

However, this heavy love is indeed only for him.

Zongluo blamed himself for those misunderstanding days. As an iron-blooded emperor in the feudal era, no one can do better than Emperor Yuan.

"My son knows."

Emperor Yuan nodded and said: "There is one more thing. I have already drawn up the edict, you can take a look."

He took out the written imperial decree on the desk and handed it to Zong Luo.

The latter paused for a moment before reaching out to take it.

Unsurprisingly, this was an imperial edict for marriage.

The names of Shen Xinyue and Zong Luo were written on the inscription, but the place covered with the jade seal was still empty.

The emperor's voice seemed to be very far away: "This imperial edict has been prepared, and when tomorrow morning, the seal can be directly promulgated and announced to the world."

Shen Tingwei had spoken to Emperor Yuan privately many times before, and this morning, because he had to deal with Zong Cheng's rebellion, Emperor Yuan didn't have time to deal with it, and he didn't even make a statement, so he just informed Shen Tingwei in a hurry.

"Waiting for the edict, Fengchang needs to go to the Wu Temple to count a good day and auspicious day. The wedding of the prince is a major event, and it will take more than half a year to prepare for anything, and it will not be too late to carry out after winning the Wei Kingdom and dominating the world. It's just that The engagement must be made as soon as possible."

After all, it is imperative to give marriage.

Emperor Yuan was seeking his opinion. If you can come up with a reason that can be rebutted, this marriage is not impossible to refuse. Zongluo also knew that, according to Emperor Yuan's indulgence, even if he had no reason to say he didn't want to marry him, this imperial decree could eventually be withdrawn.

However--

In the endless chatter, Zong Luo heard his own voice: "...Okay."

He acquiesced to Emperor Yuan's marriage.

As the crown prince, the heir of a country, it is natural that he cannot fail to marry or have no heirs. Not to mention the civil and military officials, the first emperor Yuan would not agree.

The only thing Zongluo can do now is to shoulder the responsibility of this identity.

Emperor Yuan looked at him absent-mindedly, squinted his eyes without a trace, and put the imperial decree back on the table, deliberately placing it in the most conspicuous position.

"Since there is nothing to do, then go down and rest and take care of your body."

"My son retire."

The prince in white got up from the cushion, bowed his hands in salute, and walked out slowly.

Tomorrow, Emperor Yuan will issue the imperial edict of marriage.

Once the marriage is granted, unless there is a major change, it is impossible to take it back.

Zong Luo didn't know what to do.

Although his heart is dead, he does have another person in his heart. Whether it is morality or his own departure, another innocent woman is involved.

But if he doesn't agree...he really has no reason or room for not agreeing.

The only thing that can be done is to go to Shen Xinyue, have a candid talk, and leave the choice to this young lady. Whether it is accepting the decree or rejecting the marriage, Zong Luo can accept it calmly.

When he walked out of the main hall, he heard Yuan Jia, who was standing by the side, whispering to the little servant: "Pass your majesty's order, and go to Beining's palace to announce that the king of Beining will meet."

Zong Luo went straight in the opposite direction without pausing for half a step.
