Chapter 865

Murong Jie ignored the gleam and resentment in his eyes, and said indifferently: "Today, when the king enters the palace, he wants to ask for something."

"Please?" The emperor smiled faintly, "The regent's words are serious, this week, what do you fancy, just take it, my life is in the hands of your husband and wife."

"I ask the emperor to entrust the Southern Kingdom to the ministers. After the emperor recovers from illness, the minister will take Zi'an to the Southern Kingdom." Murong Jie said slowly.

The emperor was startled, and looked at him in disbelief.

His appetite is so small? Impossible, this week he has everything at his fingertips, how could he only want a small southern country?

He looked at Murong Jie critically for a long time, and then asked: "What kind of trick do you want to play? You might as well just say it, I don't have the intention to guess with you."

Murong Jie stepped back and turned around, sat on a stool in the hall, and looked at him from afar.

Murong Jie didn't make a sound, but several emotions changed in his eyes.

"Speak." The emperor seemed a little impatient.

Murong Jie spoke with a desolate voice, "I hate this place, the emperor, the intrigue, and the endless suspicions and calculations. This king went to the battlefield on the fifteenth or sixteenth day, and experienced hundreds of battles, big and small. I once thought, The best ending in my life is to return home shrouded in horse leather for the Great Zhou and die on the battlefield, that is the fate of a soldier, the best fate."

The emperor was slightly moved, but only for a moment, his face soon became indifferent as usual.

Murong Jie turned the jade finger in his hand, and continued: "Since I was young, my ancestors told me that my brother will be the emperor in the future, and you must guard the country of the Great Zhou together, guard the country that your ancestors fought back with blood, and let the people of the world live together." Live and work in peace and contentment, free from the suffering of wars. Great Zhou has experienced so many battles, all of which are helpless battles. We are resisting and not aggressing. Therefore, I am willing to use my flesh and blood to protect the country and the people of Great Zhou..."

The emperor interrupted him, "Yes, you did do this before, and because of this, I believed in you and asked you to be the regent to assist the prince, but maybe I was wrong, and I forgot to taste it alone. The taste of desire for power will be irresistible."

Murong Jie looked at him, "Really? That's just your opinion. I haven't changed. What has changed is your opinion of me. We talked about it before. Let me tell you, if I am greedy for the throne, you will be the first When I was seriously ill, I could replace you. If you don’t believe me, you think that I want to wait until you are seriously ill and die before plundering everything. You think that I have already controlled all the situations at that time, and everything is at your fingertips. You didn’t expect that you will recover later. , You thought this way before, but now?"

His eyes suddenly became fierce, and the murderous look of thousands of troops was raised in his long and narrow phoenix eyes, "Even if this king kills you in Xiwei Palace, no one can do anything to win this king."

The emperor was startled, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and he said sternly, "How dare you?"

Murong Jie sneered, "It's not that I don't dare, it's that I won't do it. You are guarding against me, the Xiao family, and all those who have made meritorious deeds for the Great Zhou. , who is it?"

The emperor's thoughts were a little confused, and he could hardly keep up with his rhythm.

"Those who covet this throne are Lao Ba, Liang Taifu, and Seventh Prince. Lao Ba? Who did Lao Ba rely on? Liang Taifu? Why is Liang Taifu so powerful? As for the Seventh Prince, who is he so ambitious because of? It's just a child."

The emperor said angrily, "What are you trying to say?"

"I say you are confused, stupid, you don't know who is your real enemy, you blindly murder Zhongliang, you are self-righteous, and you think you are wise. If you didn't blindly promote the crown prince and the empress Liang, how could you have the arrogance of Liang Taifu? And the old eight, You clearly know his wolfish ambitions, but you have repeated your attitude towards him, and you often promote him to deal with me and other loyal courtiers, as well as Concubine Yi, who has long been suspicious of her, but you think Concubine Yi is your concubine , I will definitely be towards you in my heart, but as long as you investigate, you will know that Concubine Yi is from Xianbei, and the child she gave birth to is not yours. You've lost all of your face."

"Shut up, you're talking nonsense!" The emperor became agitated, his eyes terrified.

How can it be? Yi Fei, a bitch, how dare she do such a rebellious thing?

Murong Jie continued: "As long as anyone who says a few good words to you, you will be a trustworthy and loyal person. Over the years, how many of those ministers who are sitting on vegetarian meals have been promoted by you? Isn't it because you can say a few words about the emperor's wisdom?" How many practical things have they done? And Concubine Xi, that Hu Huanling who didn't even say hello when she went out just now, who was crowned the Queen Mother, why? Isn't it because Concubine Xi's natal family has been in conflict with the king? Are you right? Do you think that the enemy of your enemy is your friend? As for Hu Huanling, after becoming the empress, I don’t know how much private money has flowed into the pocket of the emperor, a majestic emperor!"

Murong Jie said while shaking his head sadly.

The emperor blushed, breathed rapidly, raised his hand and slapped the edge of the bed heavily, and said angrily: "Murong Jie, why don't you just give me a good time, don't insult me ​​here, I'm still the Ninth Five-Year Honor, rather Even death will not be insulted by you."

Murong Jie said indifferently: "A few gossips, the emperor is in a hurry to get angry? Then what about the things the emperor did to me and Zian?"

The emperor glared at him, Murong Jie did not dodge and confronted him.

The two brothers had long been separated from each other, this conversation did not feel pleasant to Murong Jie at all, but the emperor would probably remember his harsh words today for the rest of his life.

"I have drawn up some future policy measures, and they are all listed in the memorial. Later, I will order someone to send them to the emperor for review. If the emperor still wants to be a good emperor, please ignore the hatred for me and take a good look. This is it Over the past few months, I have discussed with you adults the result."

After all, he still kept the etiquette and bowed his hands before leaving.

Eunuch Lu, who was listening outside, broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing Murong Jie coming out, he quickly knelt on the ground, "Send off the prince!"

Kneeling down this time is to be grateful.

He knew that Murong Jie's words about killing the emperor just now were not empty words, he could definitely do so.

However, he didn't, even if he knew that he would be cornered or even had nowhere to go, he didn't intend to kill at this time.

Hu Huanling was still outside the hall, and probably heard what they said, seeing Murong Jie's cold eyes sweeping over, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

Murong Jie strode away.

He thought that there was probably no need for him and the emperor to continue talking.

Entering the palace this time, he has said everything that should be said and what should not be said.

These words have been held in his heart for many days, and he thought about waiting until he was almost fully recovered to take charge of the government. However, Eunuch Lu has been going out to find people recently, and he does not want what he has done these days to fall short. As I said in advance, if he still cares about the country and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he will be able to listen to these words.

on the contrary……

His eyes were condensed, and he left Xiwei Palace, looking at the sun that suddenly shrank that day, a murderous desire suddenly arose in his heart.
