Can Drink A Cup of Nothing

After Gongsun You finished saying these words, in the warm and quiet bedroom, Zong Luo's figure was almost shaky in an instant.

Because the lord's face was too pale, Gongsun You was shocked: "His Royal Highness!"

He quickly wanted to squat down to pick up those chess pieces, but Zong Luo stopped him: "No need."

"Then I'll call a doctor?"

"...No need."

Zong Luo's lips trembled, and his hands under his long sleeves curled into fists: "You just need to sit down, and then tell me exactly what you dreamed about..."

As a last resort, Gongsun You could only do as he did.

After he finished speaking succinctly in a few words, looking back, the prince in white looked much better than before.

Seeing that the lord was better, Gongsun You was also relieved, and was able to tell more of his speculations about the inside of the dream.

The first is about the alliance of several princes.

"There is no doubt that the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince are jointly involved in this matter, including the participation of the King of Beining, but he may not be fully aware of the plan."

This dream is too detailed.

Too detailed dreams are not a good thing. Gongsun You had heard of precognition dreams. What's more, after the witch sacrifice ceremony was held in the dream, in reality, the witch sacrifice ceremony is just set in the season of summer and autumn, which means the future.

Whether it was the inexplicable concern in his heart or the content of the dream, it was necessary to report it to the lord in detail.

"In my dream, I was not a pure team of the Sixth Prince, but should belong to the same camp as Ye Linghan." Gongsun You recalled his choking with the King of Beining at the Baijia Banquet last time, and reluctantly admitted that the dream I am afraid that my allegiance is really the prince who is a little seriously ill.

What a vision this is.

"I should know what is in the red box, and I may even participate in person. If according to what the inner servant said, no one except Emperor Yuan can open the red box, then there is no doubt that the inner imperial decree can be a combination of several princes. It turned out to be a fake. It's a pity that I can't remember exactly what happened later."

This one was purely speculated by Gongsun You combined with the dream fragments behind.

After listening, Zong Luo's expression improved a lot.

He nodded: "I see."

Since all the circumstances have been revealed to the lord, and now it is the dead of night, Gongsun You Duanduan has no reason to stay here.

He glanced worriedly at the prince in white standing in front of the chessboard, squatted down and picked up all the chess pieces made of cold stone and warm jade, and put them in the chess basket one by one: "These are just the dreams of the minister, the lord also Don't worry too much, just listen to it as a story."

"I'm really sorry for disturbing you late at night. The lord must have a good rest, and this minister will retire first."

Although Gongsun You didn't know why the lord would be so rude after hearing him say he had a dream, the first rule of being a courtier is not to try to inquire or spy on any of the lord's secrets.

Zong Luo nodded, put on his robe, and personally escorted Gongsun to the gate of the palace.

After the other party left in a hurry, he slowly returned to the bedroom.

It is undeniable that Gongsun You's first sentence straight to the point, saying that the three princes joined forces to disguise the imperial decree, did bring him extraordinary consternation.

Fortunately, most of it was Gongsun You's speculation, not what he saw with his own eyes, so Zong Luo calmed down.

Others do not know, before this, Zong Luo had not doubted the authenticity of the imperial edict.

After all, he is a book-wearer. Although he does not study history professionally, he also knows that such a hapless and tragic prince in history died under a forged imperial decree.

No matter what, Zong Luo wouldn't be so confused.

In his last life, he had seriously confirmed the imperial decree several times under the city, from the handwriting to the jade seal, it was precisely because he recognized that it came from the hands of Emperor Yuan, and that was why his heart was ashes.

Until now, Zong Luo still believed that the imperial edict was absolutely impossible to forge.

There is indeed a red box rule in Dayuan. Every year, Emperor Dayuan needs to put an imperial decree into the house, and the inner servant of the palm seal and the inner servant of the pen will jointly supervise, in case of emergency.

Emperor Yuan didn't set up a reserve, and obviously he couldn't have expected him to have a sudden illness, but the rules of the red box were indeed in use all the time.

Not to mention, forging imperial edicts is a huge sin. The most important thing is... Emperor Yuan's handwriting is the result of a lot of hard work with the help of internal force, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can imitate at will.

But Gongsun You's dream is by no means fake.

At least Zong Luo did not expect that his death in his previous life was actually the result of the involvement of various forces.

Although he was already mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

First, Zong Yuanwu's resistance was suppressed, and the old general came forward to send dead soldiers to intercept them halfway. Then the sixth prince opened the door of convenience, and the fourth prince contacted the two servants... Everything shows that this layout is far bigger than he imagined.

Going around and looking back, the answer to the mystery still falls on the imperial edict.

It's just that if it is clear that Gongsun You is involved, the possibility becomes more.

After all... Gongsun You has a puppet technique in his hands.

Although the puppet technique cannot act on people with deep internal strength and firm will, it is hard to say if Emperor Yuan suddenly falls ill and they take advantage of it.

The fact that several princes joined forces, at least let Zongluo know that Xue Yushi was definitely the first person they dealt with. The secret letter from the border is true, and it is very likely that the secret letter he got outside the city is fake.

The most important thing is...From the time he got the news at the border to the foot of the imperial city, Emperor Yuan was in a deep coma and did not wake up.

For Zong Luo, regardless of whether the imperial decree was true or not, knowing this matter had the greatest impact on him.

Did Emperor Yuan know it or not? Was the imperial decree really what he had imagined?

Everything seems to be clear, and it seems to be covered with a larger fog.

The ending of Gongsun Youmeng was a sharp pain. Combined with the fact that Yu Beizhou said that he killed all the insiders, it is not difficult to guess the final outcome of these people in the previous life.

It's no wonder that Yu Beizhou is so skillful and has no fear in provoking in every possible way.

In the end, to find out the truth, Zong Luo can only get the answer from his mouth.

Everything is back to square one.

Zong Luo was not sleepy at first, but now he is more awake, sitting in front of the desk wrapped in a blanket until morning.

After dawn, he finished his breakfast, and after drinking the medicine, he ordered his servants to bring him a crane cloak.

"Is Your Highness going to go out?" The imperial doctor saw it, and did not forget to mention: "If you go out, please be sure to wear more clothes. If you come back and the cold is severe again, it is not good for you to send your message to Your Majesty."

Zong Luo's heart was sour for a while: "Okay, I'll go back when I go."

The servants prepared carriages and horses for him, carefully placed the charcoal basin, made the interior of the carriage warm, and then drove to the front of Yuchun Palace.

"Go to Pei Xiangfu." Zong Luo held the heater and bent over to get into the car.

Before going to Yu Beizhou for the last time, he needs to find Pei Qianxue and ask clearly what he could not finish last time.

Intuition tells him that now is the time.

The carriage rolled over the bluestone road, and the driver was driving at a slow pace. After a few sticks of incense had passed, he stopped slowly.

The servants of Pei's house were obviously a little surprised by his visit.

After they went in to report, what came out was Pei Qianxue who went out to greet them in person.

"Jin Yu, your illness has not yet healed, why did you come here suddenly?"

Pei Qianxue frowned, watching Zong Luo in a robe getting off the carriage, and frowning disapprovingly: "If there is something wrong, send it down to report, I can go to the palace to see you, why bother?"

When he was still taking a bath, he had nothing to do on weekdays, and there was no need for Zong Luo to come to the door in person.

"I came to Axue, naturally because of something."

As soon as Zong Luo got out of the car, he forced a smile: "No problem, my wind chill is almost getting better."

Although he was infected with a cold this time, it was menacing because he had not caught a cold for many years. But the disease came quickly, and his physique and physical fitness were here, and he walked quickly. After drinking the medicine for two days and sleeping for two days, it will be almost better, and it may not be good to be sick in bed for more than ten days like ordinary people.

Seeing the unnatural expression on his face, Pei Qianxue understood that he didn't stay in front of the door too much, but directly brought people into the inner room and ordered the servants to serve tea.

After a moment of silence, Zong Luo took the initiative to speak: "Axue, I'm here for the event before the New Year's Eve."

He only opened his head, and Pei Qianxue knew what was going on.

Before the festival, he had a brief chat with Zongluo.

"Now I've figured it out, Father Emperor... Maybe it's not what I always thought."

Zong Luo whispered: "I figured it out, Axue. If you couldn't finish the last time, please tell me today."

Coincidentally, the next person served tea.

Pei Qianxue motioned for the servants to close the doors and windows, and poured a cup for the prince in white, before sighing, "Okay."

"That was a year ago. Before that, like Jin Yu, I thought that His Majesty treated the princes in a biased manner."

......

Especially for the third prince.

Many times, no one can guess what Emperor Yuan is thinking.

He was given military power and the Prince's Palace, yet he was so disregarded.

Although Pei Qianxue was a confidant of Emperor Yuan, he also admired his close friend, and his position was biased towards the third prince.

Even he thinks so, let alone everyone else.

However, all of this was broken in the Battle of Hangu Pass a year ago.

The entire Great Wilderness is full of talented people, and it is by no means the Big Yuan family alone. Since he has shown his ambition to conquer the Central Plains, it is easy to be targeted by a group.

Multi-national cooperation has been secretly planned for many years, and it has been resolved countless times by Da Yuan. Finally, last year, the hawks of various countries were united. Down.

That would coincide with the dispatch of troops from Dayuan, and only the Imperial City garrison remained behind Hangu Pass.

When the military report arrived, the troops outside could not be recalled in time, and only 150,000 garrison troops were dispatched. Against the 500,000-strong army, it can be said that there is no chance of winning.

Just at this critical moment, the third prince, who heard the urgent report from the imperial city, rushed with his cavalry for several days, and arrived.

In the early years, only Hu people who were good at cavalry and archery had this type of arm, not a regular army. The real introduction of the Great Wilderness was a few decades ago. It was difficult to train and cultivate good horses, and most of them were mixed.

But because of its high mobility and flexibility, the cavalry is still the most powerful unit in the Great Wilderness.

The real brilliance is still in the hands of the third prince of the Great Abyss.

Xuanqi is famous all over the world, and its success is difficult to replicate, which is precisely the reason.

However, no matter how powerful it is, there is only one outcome between 3,000 and 500,000.

That's a dead end.

After hearing the military report that the third prince came to support with only three thousand Xuanqi, Pei Qianxue was so anxious that he rushed into the palace in a hurry.

The entire imperial city was desolate, and the troops left behind were all prepared for the worst. As soon as there is a change in the army outside, the army of 150,000 will desperately defend the city gate, first protect His Majesty and the courtiers and the people to evacuate the imperial city. Leave the green hills without worrying about no firewood.

On the way Pei Qianxue entered the palace, every household was packing their luggage, and the wind was shaking.

When he walked into the hall, he was almost stunned by the scene in front of him.

Emperor Yuan took off his usual Xuanjin dragon robe and put on armor that he hadn't worn for many years.

His eyes were red, and his eyes were splitting: "Go away! I have also brought soldiers, and I am also a general. I once washed the imperial city with blood, and made all the countries feel scared when they heard the name.

"That is the only heir to our great country, and the prince whom we hold dear the most!"

How could he be so cruel, let him sit in the imperial city with such peace of mind, and watch his most beloved prince die in battle.

......

"If we hadn't stopped us, I'm afraid that day, Your Majesty would have rushed out of the imperial city with the garrison alone."

Pei Qianxue stared at the teacup in his hand, and said in a low voice, "After the news of his death at Hangu Pass came, His Majesty even went to the battlefield in a humble manner, and went through every corpse in person, without sleep for three days and three nights."

"Jin Yu, I didn't lie to you. Your Majesty really loves you, loves you very much."

This secret has been hidden in Pei Qianxue's heart for so long that when he said it, his tone was choked up, as if he had once again witnessed the scene where Emperor Yuan was so rude and almost furious.

"It's just that before he became a father, His Majesty was the emperor of Da Yuan. So I couldn't just rush out with Zhan Lu and fight side by side with you."

"Even if Your Majesty wants to do that more than anyone else... that's why you are more saddened than anyone else, more painful than anyone else, because of your death."
