Chapter 47

Zhao Run returned to his palace, and Lin Yunying immediately asked, "How is it? Is there anything strange about Your Majesty?"

"It seems abnormal, it seems normal." Zhao Run said: "My second brother has always had a lot of emotional ups and downs. Recently, he has been drinking and lustful, so he may not be poisoned."

Lin Yunying said: "If this poison just makes Your Majesty overexcited, it would be fine. I am afraid the result will be worse. If Your Majesty is really poisoned, we don't know. One day he becomes a madman, wouldn't the country and the people suffer the consequences?"

Zhao Run was silent for a while and asked, "Yun Ying, what are you saying I was chasing the throne? Is it for the people of the world, or for my own selfish desires?"

Lin Yunying was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Highness is naturally for the country and for the thousands of people."

Zhao Run sat down and said sadly: "At the beginning, I saw the decline of the imperial power and Yu Huaiyong's power was so powerful that my second brother was cruel by nature. As my elder brother said, if the country fell into the hands of any of them, I would probably be in turmoil. My elder brother asked me to take on the burden. In order to make them fight, I poisoned my elder brother. At that time, I felt guilty, but it was indeed for the people of the world. But step by step, I went to this day for public and private, and I could no longer tell the difference."

Lin Yunying said: "Your Highness should see that in this position, Your Majesty is destined to not sit for a long time. Let him sit down. The king does not love his ministers, and the ministers do not respect the king. The gap between the king and the ministers is getting bigger and bigger, and the country is destined to be divided. The people are still suffering." She held Zhao Run's hand: "Your Highness has blood on his hands, which is also the only way for those in power. If Your Highness feels guilty, then ascends to the throne with this guilt, and spends the rest of his life to make up for it, and creates a new world of peace and Chang'an for the people of the world."

"Can I?" Zhao Run asked with his head up.

"Your Highness is supported by the people and loved by the ministers. You have a kind heart and will definitely become a wise monarch in the future."

"But if I ascend to the throne, my second brother will have to die. With such a temperament, he will not be a deposed emperor alive." Zhao Run frowned and his eyes were wet

"Your Highness think about it, if you inherited the throne, what would Your Majesty do to you now? Will he be willing to be a prince by your side just because you are his fourth brother?"

Zhao Run said: "This power position is really a harmful thing."

It’s like gambling. If you have paid the gambling money, you will ask for a reward. The more you pay, the more unwilling you will be. If the cycle continues, you will lose your sense of reason in the end and you are willing to pay any price.

He killed the first person, but he killed the second person without intention, just intentionally. By the time the third person was, he could not wait.

"Call Xiao Wenyuan over, I have something to say to him."

Lin Yunying pressed his shoulder and went to call the inner palace.

But at this moment, Xiao Wenyuan was not in the palace, he was in the Yu family.

Yu Rong has been lingering in sick bed for several months. He sat on the bed. After listening to Xiao Wenyuan's words, he asked: "This is important. There is no evidence. You must not tell it out, otherwise you will not know how many people will kill."

Xiao Wenyuan said: "I only told the princess my suspicion, and secondly you are the only one. I also know that this is important and I dare not talk to others."

"Did anyone else discover this besides you?"

"Recently, His Majesty drinks and has fun all day long, and he has always slept less. Everyone is used to it, so no one should know."

"You can check it secretly," Yu Rong said, "see if anyone poisoned His Majesty."

Xiao Wenyuan said: "If it is found out, what should I do? Please help me with an idea."

Yu Rong was silent for a while, but Yu Cheng next to him said, "You dare not investigate, do you?"

Xiao Wenyuan said: "Your Majesty is suspicious by nature, and he is surrounded by his people. If you have a little movement, you will know. If he also suspects that someone poisons him, I am afraid that many people in the palace will be implicated, including me, our Majesty, are not a reasonable person."

"Since he is surrounded by his own people, either he is not poisoned, or his own people have poisoned him." Yu Cheng said: "You went and told the princess, and then came over to tell my father, just leaving a way out for yourself, right? If the incident happened in the future, you also have an excuse to just follow the order."

Xiao Wenyuan's face showed some embarrassment.

Yu Cheng said: "So no matter how my father thinks, he can only tell you that you can check it secretly first. As for the others, wait until you find out."

Xiao Wenyuan immediately knelt down and kowtowed and said, "It's not to be hiding the matter now. I have evidence. Your Majesty is indeed poisoned! The person who poisoned is his favorite minister Wen Liangchen."

Yu Rong frowned: "Wen Liangchen?"

Yu Cheng said: "I guess it's him."

"Why did he poison His Majesty? Now he is favored. What His Majesty gives him is the highest status he can get in his life. What will be good for him to kill His Majesty?"

"I don't know this, but Wen Liangchen recommended his colleagues to His Majesty to the palace today to perform for His Majesty. In fact, they searched their bodies routinely when they entered the palace, and were detained by my people on the spot. They told me that for safety reasons, they carried very little poison every time. Except for today's one, Wen Liangchen asked them to give him another copy during the military fighting competition. I didn't know how to deal with this matter, so I detained some of the poisons, and the rest was still handed over to Wen Liangchen."

"Wen Liangchen doesn't know, right?"

"This is a heinous death penalty. After being discovered, those people only wanted to protect themselves. Since I threatened them, they dared not say it. After the performance, I asked someone to detain them."

Yu Rong rubbed his fingers and said nothing.

Xiao Wenyuan looked at their father and son, and Yu Cheng said, "This is a big deal, let us think about it."

Xiao Wenyuan bowed again and said, "I heard that Your Highness Chen is going to compete with Your Majesty, but Your Majesty is now poisoned and is excited and irritable. If you really fight, I am afraid that your subordinates will be incompetent and will hurt Your Highness Chen. Please think deeply, both of you."

He said and then stepped out.

Yu Rong frowned and didn't say anything for a long time.

Yu Cheng said: "Since Wen Liangchen intends to poison Zhao Zhun, it is better for us to fulfill his wish."

"If he really wanted to poison the emperor, he wouldn't have applied this kind of poison. He probably had other purposes."

"His purpose is hard to guess. Since he is the murderer, he will not be wronged." Yu Cheng said: "We only need to replace the poison in his hand when Wen Liangchen takes the medicine next time, and he can kill two birds with one stone."

That is to take the opportunity to poison Zhao Zhun to death.

Yu Rong said: "I know you hate him deeply, but poisoning the emperor will cause chaos in the world."

"If our people took action, the world would be in chaos. His confidants, including Empress Dowager Yao, would not let us go. I am afraid that the Fourth Prince would mind. But Wen Liangchen was just an actor, alone. If they had to settle the score, they could only count on him."

Yu Rong said: "You are not allowed to take action."

After saying that, he looked up at Yu Cheng: "Did you hear it?"

Yu Cheng's eyes were gloomy and he didn't say anything.

He came out of Yu Rong's room and told Chen Zui about this.

Chen Zui was shocked when he heard this, then smiled and said, "I finally understand what Wen Liangchen wants to do."

He said to Yu Cheng: "Wen Liangchen is Yu Huaiyong's man. He has a deep affection for Huaiyong, but Yu Huaiyong died in the war with Zhao Zhun, and died at my hands. He wanted to kill me with one stone and use Zhao Zhun's hand to kill me, and by the way, except Zhao Zhun. If I guess correctly, when I fight with Zhao Zhun the next day, he will definitely drug Zhao Zhun again."

Yu Cheng said: "Then do you want to compete?"

"Since I have worked hard for several months, I will definitely compare." Chen Zui said: "It would be better if he was crazy on the spot. I will kill him to protect myself, so that's right."

"He deserved to die long ago, but he can't afford to lose your life for him." Yu Cheng said: "You promised me that no matter what the situation was, the first thing you had to do was to protect yourself. Do you understand?"

Chen Zui said: "Don't worry, I cherish my life very much, and I will definitely protect myself. But if I have the chance, I will kill him."

He looked firm and had a vicious look, and said to Yu Cheng: "You don't have to persuade me."

Yu Cheng said: "I blamed me for not protecting you that day, so that I could get you to this point."

Since he was sent to the Yu family, he felt that Chen Zui's heart was harder than before. In the past few months, Chen Zui has been training hard and has never let him slouch his hands. Every punch and kick hit Chen Zui, but it hurts his heart.

Chen Zui said: "If you don't talk about what he did to me, just say that he wants to deal with you several times and repeatedly, I will know that if he is in power one day, we will not be at ease. Instead of worrying about being humiliated again, or worrying that you will be harmed by him, it is better to take action first. I have discovered that the struggle for power cannot change the world without killing people."

Yu Cheng didn't say anything more.

When Xiao Wenyuan returned to the palace, the people from the inner palace told him that Zhao Run wanted to see him.

He hurried to Zhao Run Palace.

Yu Rong and his son realized his purpose, so he could only try Zhao Run. Zhao Run has never liked power and is simple and kind, so he should have an idea for him.

Whether it is to investigate or not, he needs someone to make a decision.

When he arrived at Zhao Run's palace, Zhao Run said directly: "You suspect someone poisoned His Majesty, I already know."

Xiao Wenyuan said: "Your Highness will also ask me for an idea."

"How many years have you been in the palace?"

Xiao Wenyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "I entered the inner palace at the age of fourteen."

"I heard that your family was in decline, and your half-mother's brother couldn't tolerate you. He suffered a lot since childhood. It was the late emperor who compassioned you, let you get education in the palace, and personally promoted you to the position of the general magistrate step by step. Among the general magistrates of the previous generation, you have been the one who has been the longest?"

When Xiao Wenyuan heard him mention Zhao Jin, he said: "Without the late emperor, there would be no today as I am."

Zhao Run said: "Do you still remember the last wish of the late emperor?"

Xiao Wenyuan didn't know why he mentioned the late emperor at this time, so he looked at Zhao Run.

Zhao Run was as gentle as jade, wearing all kinds of clothes, and elegant and elegant as a jade-like man, saying, "The last emperor wished me to ascend the throne. I was forced by the situation and gave the throne to my second brother. But my second brother was cruel and licentious by nature, and fought with court officials, which led to national turmoil. I regretted my original decision. Although family affection is precious, in the face of national justice, what is private affection?

Xiao Wenyuan showed a clear expression.

Zhao Run said: "If I want to ascend the throne to the emperor, are you willing to do something you shouldn't have done for this country, for me, and for the people of the world?"

Xiao Wenyuan knelt down.

Zhao Run reached out and handed him a bag of medicine.

The author has something to say: This time, like the prayer event, is still a tripartite melee!! I feel that everyone is a cruel person, including the attack.
