Pick all the cold branches

"You really don't understand."

The Supreme Emperor suddenly laughed.His voice was deep and cold, and when he grasped Zhen Xian, his five fingers were shaking so hard.Zhen Xian heard him grit his teeth in an extremely difficult tone and said:

"Your father is knowledgeable, sharp in thinking, and elegant in writing. He was my best friend when I was young, and I have been a confidant all my life. The only thing that I hate deeply is that he is born rebellious. Kneeling and submitting, I don't want to say a word of flattery that is not sincere, even if it is to me, I will not show any affection at all!"

Are these words praise or derogation, love or hate?

For a split second, Zhen Xian felt a cool air rising from his heart.

The Supreme Emperor glanced at the jade pillow at the head of the bed, and motioned Zhen Xian to take it and open it.

According to Zhen Xian's words, he opened the lock at one end of the pillow, and took out a book that was neither thin nor thick.

At the first glance, he froze, and even his hands trembled uncontrollably.

He had seen and even read the book before.

Although it was not the same book, he did remember it.

Back then when I was still young, I was confused about many things, I didn't know the seriousness, so I randomly stole such a book from my father's study and took it to peep with His Highness. Beat up.

The name of this book is "Dreams".

The one he stole when he was a child was printed in engraving ink.

Now the book in front of me, the one hidden in the pillow by the Supreme Emperor, is a hand-written book.The handwriting on it couldn't be more familiar, and he will never forget it in this life.It was written by his father Zhen Yunli.Every word, every sentence...

"You were also a first-class Jinshi, Tanhua Lang hand-picked by the Golden Palace, tell me, how good is your father's writing?"

The overlord's hoarse voice rang in his ears.

Zhen Xian felt unable to breathe.

Everything in front of him suddenly became blurred, giving him the illusion of dizziness.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to support himself, not letting himself fall down.

He actually still remembers some of the stories in that book.

The story tells that a young scholar stumbled into a place called Daxia Kingdom in his dream, and became a confidant with the emperor of Daxia who had the same interests and became a close minister who was valued by the emperor.

However, the emperor was obsessed with alchemy, favored the eunuch, no matter how the scholar advised him, he would not listen to it, and still indulged the eunuch's monopoly, offering elixir to him every day, and playing with the state affairs with applause.

The emperor's empress is a bold and outspoken aristocratic woman. After repeated outspoken admonitions but failed, she united with her mother's family to bring down the powerful officials.However, the eunuch is on the king's side and has been in business for a long time. The palace is full of eyeliners.The news was accidentally leaked, and the queen was accused of conspiring with her relatives instead, and was poisoned to death by the eunuch.

The eunuch killed the queen, persecuted and relegated all the queen's mother clan, and then made up the idea of ​​the East Palace, wanting to depose the young prince and support his own puppet.

After the tragic death of his wife and the death of his youngest son, the emperor suddenly came to his senses. However, the power of the eunuch is so powerful that it is difficult to get rid of it easily.

The emperor could only turn to scholars for help.

The scholar taught the emperor to lock up the young prince in the abandoned cold palace, strictly guarding against allowing anyone to approach him. It was called confinement, but it was actually protection. On the surface, he pretended to obey the eunuch by keeping a low profile.

So the emperor pretended to be obedient to the eunuch's words, locked up the prince, and appointed another concubine who was with the eunuch as the new queen, and the son of the new queen was the new prince, secretly conspiring with the scholar to weaken the power in the eunuch's hands Bring it down.

However, the eunuch is suspicious by nature, shrewd and fierce. Half of the officials in the court are his henchmen, and many of the other half are controlled by him. He dares not speak out, let alone stand up to resist.

The emperor and the scholar tried several times, but the eunuch broke the trick first, killed the witnesses, destroyed the evidence of the crime, and gathered his party members to stir up trouble to force the emperor to submit. In turn, he deliberately tried to gather criminal evidence to frame the scholar...

Zhen Xian no longer remembers what happened to the story, whether the scholar lived or died, who won the emperor or the eunuch.

Maybe it was forgotten.

Maybe never saw it.

What remains deep in my memory like an imprint is only the furious face of my grandfather at that time, and the complicated look in the eyes of the emperor when he asked them what they understood from this book.

He remembered that he replied at that time: "I just feel that many people in this story seem to have met. It is obviously a person in the book, but it is the situation in front of me." His grandfather was so angry that he hit him again.

In fact, he didn't understand anything at all back then, otherwise how dare he go so far and say such words.

It never occurred to him that this book was actually written by his father.

It was because of this.

It turned out to be the case.

All kinds of speculation, gossip and rumors, saying that he is ignorant of the current affairs and blamed Governor Chen, etc., in fact, it is just such a "counter-report"...

And this "reverse book" turned out to be that he stole it from his father's study ignorantly and fearlessly, which caused an irreparable disaster.

No wonder at that time, his grandfather was so angry that he almost beat him to death, and even asked his father to kneel in the yard and burn the book with his own hands, page by page.

But since it has been burnt clean, how can this manuscript be left behind, and it is still in the pillow of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor?

So many years have passed, and the Supreme Emperor lays his pillow on this "Dream in a Dream" every night, what does he see in his dream?

The Supreme Emperor actually came to ask him if his father could write well.

How can he answer?

Obviously his father, his family members have all died in this Nanke Yimeng.

Zhen Xian couldn't help but let out a bitter sigh.

There seemed to be a big hole in my heart suddenly, it was painful and cold, and blood was gurgling out.

"Does Your Majesty want to hear the truth?" He couldn't even raise his head to look at the old man in front of him again, so he could only bite his lip.

The Supreme Emperor squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully, seeing his eyebrows and eyes, even his expression, which were almost similar to his father's. Even if he lowered his eyes, he still didn't let go of his stubbornness and pride, and then snorted softly, It should be accepted.

Almost at the same time, Zhen Xian's brows twitched imperceptibly, "I think father writes well."

The Supreme Emperor immediately laughed.

"Yes! He wrote well, and there is nothing wrong with his writing. That's why he deserves to die! The one who killed him was not Chen Shiqin, not Zhen, but himself!"
