At dawn the next day, someone came to report that Cheng Pu had been interrogated overnight, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to let go. As a result, he died due to wound inflammation and excessive blood loss.I didn't ask too much, I just asked them to drag Cheng Pu's body out for public display.

Angqin and Uncle Wei had a good talk, but Uncle Wei felt that there was an inner ghost in the army, and that Bao Buqi had something to do with Huder, and he could not shirk the responsibility for the tragic death of the Turkic leaders.The more Uncle Wei thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, and the more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt, so he took off his shirt and said "Apologize", and ran to my camp with a whip in his arms, asking Alan San to beat him up.

Ang Qin is also benevolent enough, and has no intention of making things difficult for Uncle Wei.The two of you come and I poured into the tent, and then Gaba froze.

I can't help but hug Zhong Bochen's big head and kiss him.Brother Zhong was a little dazed by me, and when he looked up, he saw Uncle Wei and Ang Qin standing at the door. Uncle Wei's face was blue, and his jaw almost fell to the ground.Brother Zhong hurriedly patted me on the back, pushed my head and told me to pull my mouth off his face quickly.I already knew who was coming, after all, Uncle Wei's loud voice could be heard ten miles away, but I still didn't have enough kisses, and it was like cupping a few times before I got over it.

Zhong Bochen seemed to have been sucked away by me, his eyes were empty, his face was flushed, he slumped on the couch and pretended to be dead.I straightened my clothes, looked at Uncle Wei and grinned: "Uncle, make arrangements, the king has to go back to the palace."

Uncle Wei took a step back clutching his heart, with a grim expression as if he was about to have a heart attack, and he couldn't stand still while holding Ang Qin's shoulder.From Uncle Wei's face, I could clearly see the pain of "the raised cabbage was pushed up by the pig".Before we had time to explain to Uncle Wei, our General Wei turned his head and ran away with a long roar, rolling up a cloud of dust.

Zhong Bochen said quietly: "His Royal Highness, let's set off earlier. If you stay any longer, I'm afraid I might lose my life..."

I blamed him, if he hadn't been procrastinating, why would I have stayed here for so long.But now it is time to move on.The fact that I came to the border without being in the palace has already been discovered by the court officials.Jiugao's Mansion became the target of public criticism. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials sent three letters in a row to urge me to go back quickly. Comrade Xu Changzhi, who was sloppy for me, was detained by the Minister of the Ministry of War. The Minister of the Ministry of War said that if I did not return to the palace, Comrade Xu Changzhi would Will become Mr. Xu.For Shangguan Xia's happiness for the rest of his life, I can only suffer for Prime Minister Zhong, and let him be bumped again before he recovers from his serious injury.

So the next morning, Ang Qin and I carried the "daughter-in-law" into the carriage.Alan Sang insisted on riding a horse by himself, but Ang Qin sternly refused and forced him into the carriage, cursing for a long time.Our old brother Zhong was more at ease, got into the carriage and didn't make a sound, and lay down quietly with eyes closed.I looked around and finally saw Uncle Wei from a distance.Uncle Wei gave me a vicissitudes-like back of an old father, looking up at the sky without saying a few words.I had no choice but to step into the carriage.

As soon as I sat down, I heard Alan Sang yell loudly: "The king of the Central Plains will meet later."

"There will be a period later! Take care!" I replied.The carriage set off slowly, and finally left the camp.I opened the car window and looked at the tower that was fading away behind me, and vaguely noticed that Uncle Wei was standing on the tower with his hands behind his back. Just about to take a closer look, the carriage turned a corner, and the trees blocked the view, so I couldn't see.

At this moment, Zhong Bochen coughed suddenly, and I felt a twinge in my heart, I quickly withdrew my head and gave him water.Zhong Bochen smiled, looked at my nervous expression and asked with interest: "Does Xiao Wu think I'm going to die?"

"Almost." I looked at his bland expression and became furious, rolled my eyes and said, "You slept soundly, you almost hanged me in a hurry."

"I had a dream, a very strange dream." Zhong Bochen saw my annoyance and didn't dare to tease me anymore, suddenly his face was sullen: "I seem to be haunted, I wake up no matter what. I can't come here. I know it's fake, but somehow I feel it's real. Xiao Wu, it took me a lot of effort to escape and come back to find you, please praise me."

"Praise you? You should first talk about what kind of dream you had. Did you dream of marrying a wife? Can't bear to come back?" on my lap.

Zhong Bochen rested his head on my leg, and closed his eyes comfortably: "It's not a dream, but a nightmare. I dreamed that our country was subjugated, and they wanted to kill you. I couldn't save you, so I committed suicide."

I was rubbing his temples, when I heard this sentence suddenly, my fingers trembled in fright.Zhong Bochen opened his eyes a little, and seeing my complexion change drastically, he immediately said in annoyance, "Xiao Wu, it's just a dream. Dreams are all reversed."

"What else?" I was in a panic, my heart seemed to have a hole, and blood was gushing out.It was really him, the one who sent me off for the last time, it was really him.It's just that I still can't figure it out, why did he die for me at that time?In my previous life, I never fell in love with him, and didn't even have much contact with him. Is it true that he has been secretly in love with me as written in the script?However, based on my understanding of Zhong Bochen, he has always expressed his love for me in a way that is not veiled.Why didn't I see the slightest bit in my previous life?Is it because I'm stupid?

Zhong Bochen sighed, and rubbed his head against my hand: "I dreamed that you fell in love with Li Qing and treated him wholeheartedly. I was so jealous that I was going crazy, I sent someone to assassinate Li Qing, and prevented the two of you from having a private meeting. However, Li Qing is fateful, and you are stubborn. You two are like a match made in heaven, and you can't break it apart. I was desperate in the constant failure, so I had to give up. Later, I accidentally found out that you stole the general's confidential letter I gave it to Li Qing, then I knew what was going to happen...but I didn't stop you."

"Why?" I was terrified.I'm really afraid that Zhong Bochen is also a reincarnated person, and one day he suddenly remembers how I treated him back then, and he will definitely hate me.I can't even forgive myself, so why ask him to forgive me.

"Xiao Wu, come here and let me see you." Zhong Bochen tried his best to raise his head and arms, trying to grab my hand.I was afraid that he would hurt the wound, so I quickly got up from the seat, knelt beside him and hugged his waist.Zhong Bochen touched my head and suddenly burst into tears: "Because I don't want to live anymore. I know Li Qing is lying to you, but I have no right to persuade you. I think I am taking revenge on you... I finally lost to My own jealousy is disgustingly ugly. Xiao Wu, I was standing in a dream, looking at the other self who was doing nothing, and really wanted to rush up and beat him. Obviously everything can be redeemed, even if I can’t get you , I shouldn’t have ruined you, and I shouldn’t have dragged the people of Liming to be buried with you.”

That's it, that's how it is.I reached out and wiped away his tears: "Don't cry, don't cry. It's all fake."

The prime minister was so wronged, he was immersed in self-blame and acted like a baby, so he had to coax me to kiss him.I had no choice but to help the prime minister smooth his hair in a good voice.

So on the long road back to the palace, I spent the whole time coaxing Zhong Bochen who was depressed.Zhong Bochen repeated these two sentences over and over again: "Why would I be willing to kill you? How could I have such a dream?" And I don't know how to comfort others, so I could only keep replying: "That's not you, it must be When you read the storybook, you take the plot in it as yourself...Why don’t you read the storybook? That’s when you listened to stories when you were young...ah, no one told you the story?"

The more I comforted you, the more I was doomed. In the end, I had to forcefully change the topic and talk about something serious: "It is said that while you were in a coma, the army found a spy who was collaborating with the Turkic enemy, and you refused to recruit them. What do you think of it?"

Zhong Bochen managed to regain his wit and wisdom and analyzed for a while: "It's not very good. If the person behind him is a Turk, he can be recruited as soon as he is recruited, and he can die happily; but if this person is an important minister in the court... "

"There will be more worries, such as his relatives." I knew it in my heart, but I was helpless: "In this court, those who stay are not necessarily useful; those who are useful are not necessarily loyal; and those who are loyal are not necessarily loyal." Be loyal to me. Fortunately, I have you, otherwise I really don't want to support this ruined court."

"Xiao Wu, there is no way around it. The change of the old and new dynasties is too hasty. You have not proclaimed the emperor, and you have never had your own party members. The remaining old officials are all the officials of the late emperor, and they are somewhat dissatisfied with you. But..." Zhong Bochen straightened my messy hair and said softly: "Xiao Wu has done a good job. There is a saying, "If you don't break it, you can't build it." Breaking the court also has the benefits of breaking the court. Later generations. At the beginning, the former emperor left the Guangzi flood control case unsolved for a long time, just to wait for this day."

I was shocked: "Waiting for this day? Waiting for me to do it? However, so many ministers wronged Shen Xue, the father is so ruthless?"

"So what if you can't be ruthless?" Zhong Bochen finally stopped hiding it and waited for me to figure it out, but told me directly: "Although corrupt officials are hateful, they are capable. The late emperor still needed them. What's more, the military achievements and power they have accumulated over the years are too huge. In order to stabilize the court, the late emperor had to keep them for a while. The late emperor is not waiting for you, His Highness, but for the day of "breaking". Doing unrighteousness will lead to self-death. Only when these people snowball and put their hearts where they shouldn't be put, can the late emperor convincingly take them down in one fell swoop. It's a pity that the late emperor passed away early, and this difficult I leave the entanglement to you."

I do understand that.But what about those ministers who were wronged and imprisoned?Their wives and children are separated, and they have nowhere to confide in, but what they want is the so-called "neither broken nor established".Could it be that the emperor regarded them as abandoned sons?I beg to differ, troubled.

Zhong Bochen saw through my thoughts and said in a low voice, "Xiao Wu, incompetence is also a serious crime."

"Then I am truly unforgivable." I smiled bleakly, and fed Zhong Bochen some food.

Zhong Bochen swallowed the food hastily, stared into my eyes and said earnestly: "Xiao Wu. Since ancient times, when talking about the talents of emperors, they are not good at literature or martial arts, but benevolence is the most important thing. There are generals in charge of soldiers and wars, and the strategy of governing the country depends on the ability of good ministers." Talent, there is nothing wrong with it. The key is how to retain people's hearts. Xiaowu is magnanimous, does not record people's faults, does not remember old evils, listens to loyal words and puts down his dignity. Therefore, he is favored by courtiers. He respects the king and is brave, But he is too violent and narrow-minded; King Jin is supported by the Queen Mother's mother's family, but he does not argue about loyalty and treachery, and is dull and ignorant. Xiao Wu is not as powerful as King Chong, nor does he have the power of King Jin's family, but he is the most popular. Is this true? Isn't it Xiao Wu's ability?"

I was dumbfounded, I always felt that my popularity was a matter of going along with the flow, after all the courtiers had no choice.Coupled with the fact that Uncle Wei and Zhong Bochen favored me, I was lucky in a sense.Does the popularity gained by luck really count as my ability?

This question has troubled me for a long time, until the carriage finally drove into the palace, I was suddenly relieved.Luck is also a skill. I may never be able to figure out the way my father governs the country in my life, but I still have a great prime minister to help me worry about it. After all, there is one thing that is a little bit better than my father.

We are finally back.I ordered people to carry Zhong Bochen back to the Jiaming Palace, and went straight to the Imperial Study to meet with the Minister of War to redeem Xu Changzhi.As soon as I entered the room, I saw the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials sitting opposite each other, looking at each other silently.Xu Changzhi stood aside and winked at me.I pulled Xu Changzhi over and saw that he hadn't become a young Xu Zi, so I was relieved.Seeing me coming, Minister of the Ministry of War didn't even lift his ass, and said annoyedly: "Your Highness, it would be nice if you come back a few days later, and the imperial court will be gone by then, so it will be a peace of mind."

In an instant, I felt that I, who had been loved by thousands of people just now, suddenly became a little cabbage that no one loved.I laughed and talked about what happened. After listening to the Minister of the Ministry of War, he only cared about one thing: "Is the Prime Minister still alive?"

I'm still alive, but I can't move.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay if you're paralyzed, as long as you can still use your brain."

I said that you, an old comrade, have a very problematic mind!I was blowing my beard and staring, when the Minister of the Ministry of War said slowly: "Your Highness, those old dogs you used to feed with money have gone wrong. Prince Dian and Pei Guo have voted for Shengxuan Kingdom. They took fifty thousand elite soldiers away, and by the way The three cities in Yanbian were also "sent away". Shengxuan State claimed to break off diplomatic relations with our dynasty, and turned to Qi State, promising five cities. Qi State has not responded yet."

I suddenly held a mouthful of old phlegm in my chest and almost passed out.Just now I thought I was the "chosen one", but now it seems that I am still the "son of the heavens".Presumably, God sneezed and sprayed a lot of snot when writing my life resume.Otherwise, how could I, the Prince Regent, be in such a state...
