In early summer, the weather has started to become hot and dry. Ice basins have been placed in all the main halls of the palace. Only the Xihe Garden, because the emperor cannot see the wind, let alone the cold, not only did not add ice basins, but also locked the windows on all sides. .There was a strong smell of medicine in the dark palace, mixed with ambergris, it smelled very smoky.

However, the imperial concubine seemed to have no feeling at all, she raised her jade hand lightly, and fed the emperor one mouthful of medicine, with a gentle smile on her face.The Ninth Prince sat cross-legged beside the Supreme Emperor, holding a fruit plate in his arms. Seeing that the Supreme Emperor had finished drinking the medicine, he immediately stuffed a lychee into his mouth, speaking like an innocent child, "Father, please eat fruit. If you eat fruit, you won’t be afraid of suffering!”

"Little Jiu'er, be good!" The Supreme Emperor smiled and patted him on the head.

The atmosphere in the hall was warm and harmonious, but it was broken by a voice from outside, "The emperor is here."

The Supreme Emperor straightened his face and looked towards the gate of the palace.

The increasingly powerful young man walked in slowly, bowed his hands slightly as a greeting, sat down on the side of the bed, and asked, "Why did the emperor call me here?" Please send An Zhezi up."

Cao Yongli bent over and arched his back, raised his hands high, and respectfully offered a thick and thick fold.

The Supreme Emperor ordered Gao He to pick it up, and after drinking a sip of hot tea, he said slowly, "How many people do you want to implicate in the Jiangnan Hedao case? It's not enough to kill Yu Wenhua, He Qin, and Yuan Guannan, but you also have to copy Zhen Yingjia, Sun Yingjia Qi, Ding Dian's family, what are you doing? Cleaning up my old ministers? I'm not dead yet!" The last sentence was quite stern, causing both the empress and the nine princes to shrug their shoulders.

Emperor Zhengsheng slowly skimmed off the floating tea foam with the lid of the cup, and said in a cold tone, "Wei Dao has recently presented more and more greetings to the emperor, but those people complained to the emperor. Millions of dollars are allocated to the Jiangnan River every year. Two grains of silver, but none of them were used to strengthen the embankment, and all of them went into the pockets of those people. This year, the floods were so great that the south of the Yangtze River became a flood country overnight, and tens of millions of people drowned. I only killed three people to comfort the souls of the people. It’s very gracious.”

He raised his eyes to look at the Supreme Emperor, with a strange smile on his lips, "But Father is right, I really intend to cleanse the veterans you left behind. I have clearly abdicated, but I still order the courtiers to deliver An Zhezi every day. I will inform you of all major and minor matters before making a decision. Dare I ask Father, is this world yours or mine?"

The Supreme Emperor looked at him in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe that such rebellious words came from the mouth of the third son who had always been generous and kind.Seeing that the situation was not good, the imperial concubine hurriedly pulled the ninth prince and quietly exited the hall.

Emperor Zhengsheng didn't wait for the Supreme Emperor to respond, and continued, "I am the lord of the world, Emperor Daqing, not your puppet, father. Now that you have abdicated, you will be raised in peace, and don't do such things as reviewing memorials. Well, save your life from being overworked. I am also thinking of my father."

He looked at Gao He, and ordered in a deep voice, "Take these invitations and burn them."

Gao He bowed and agreed, picked up the memorial and went out.

The Supreme Emperor tapped Gaohe with his trembling fingertips, and then tapped the Holy Emperor, trembling with anger, but regained his composure after a while, and sneered, "I didn't expect that there would be times when I was wrong, third child, you really have a good heart and good means." , playing with everyone in the palm of your hand. It's a pity that you can't hold your breath as soon as you ascend to the high position. Before the throne is firmly seated, you will move my old ministers. Without their support behind you, I would like to see the fifth child when he comes back. How do you deal with it. You haven't won the hearts of the people, and you haven't won the military power, third child, your current situation is not good!"

Emperor Zhengsheng looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, "Father, in your heart, is I that incompetent?"

The Supreme Emperor was stunned for a moment, then his complexion changed drastically, "Jia Huan! Did you send Jia Huan to Lao Wu on purpose?"

Jia Huan's prestige in the army has already surpassed that of the fifth child. With his illustrious military exploits, no one else can say anything about being named a deputy marshal of soldiers and horses. He easily divided half of the military power in the world.Thinking about it, the third child didn't want to send Jia Huan into an official position, but set up a series of games so that he could join the army logically. He and the fifth child were the two pawns in this game, and they were thoroughly used.Good calculation, really good calculation!

Thinking of this, the Supreme Emperor glared at Emperor Zhengsheng with cannibalistic eyes.

"Father, you think too much." Emperor Zhengsheng shook his head in a mocking manner, and left with his hands behind his back.This person, knowing that the imperial concubine poisoned his mother and concubine, still pampers and protects her like a treasure, and treats himself as a puppet to control the court and a chess piece in charge of the world.If everything he valued most was taken away, it would make him suffer as much as his mother and concubine did back then.

There were heavy clouds in Zheng Shengdi's eyes, thinking about Huan'er who had arrived in the capital, he smiled again.

-----------------------------------------------------------

The triumphantly returning Western Expeditionary Army camped in the suburbs of Beijing, and could only enter the city after obtaining the imperial edict the next day.

It was night, after Jia Huan washed up, he leaned on the couch and read a volume of military books. The Fifth Prince sat cross-legged behind him and wiped his dripping long hair with a handkerchief. After wiping, he began to be dishonest and buried his face in He sniffed at the pit of his neck, and then stuck out his tongue to lick his jade-white cochlea.

Just as Jia Huan was about to refuse, he was slightly taken aback when he heard the familiar aroma of ambergris wafting from the door curtain.

Emperor Zhengsheng appeared at the door without a sound, and looked at the two people who were entangled together expressionlessly.

The Fifth Prince also noticed the uninvited guest, and his licking movements became more wanton. His big palm penetrated into the young man's skirt from behind, stroking his flat and smooth chest.

Emperor Zhengsheng finally moved, walked to the side of the couch step by step, clamped Lao Wu's wrist, and took out his wanton palm with a force that could not be resisted, but with a charming smile on his face, "Huan'er, long time no see , have you ever missed me?"

Jia Huan glanced at him lightly and continued to read.

Emperor Zhengsheng let go of the fifth child, and sat down next to the young man, with an unbelievably gentle tone, "I miss you every day and every night, and I often can't sleep because of it. You are back, and I can finally sleep well."

He sighed deeply, leaned closer to see the boy's more handsome facial features than before, and said with a smile, "Why are you still so pale? But are you tired from the journey?" After saying that, he wanted to raise his hand to stroke the side of the boy's face.

The fifth prince stared at him covetously, seeing this scene, he quickly clamped his wrist and exerted the same huge force.The two were deadlocked for a while.

Jia Huan glanced at the two with a half-smile.

Emperor Zhengsheng was the first to let go of his strength, broke free from the palm of the fifth child, and said softly, "Has Huan'er ever missed Mrs. Zhao? Although the generals on the border are not allowed to enter the capital without purpose, Huan'er has no need to worry, just go and see Let her. She is a little thin because of overthinking."

Jia Huan was silent for a moment, finally put down his military book, put on his outer robe, and walked into the night.Emperor Zhengsheng stared at his back for a long time before sighing slightly.

"Zouhuan'er, what do you want to do?" The fifth prince looked at him and sneered.

The gentleness on Emperor Zhengsheng's face faded instantly and turned dark, "You are lucky to come back with all your beard and tail."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you." The Fifth Prince said with embarrassment, "You've seen it too, I'm with Huan'er."

"Really?" Emperor Zhengsheng said lightly.

Seeing that his face did not change, the fifth prince described it in an even more exaggerated tone, "You don't know how happy and carefree our two lives are in the borderlands, riding horses on the grasslands, watching the sunset by the long river, taking the sky as our own. The earth does good things for the mat, and the stars all over the sky are witnesses for me..."

Emperor Zhengsheng listened expressionlessly, then suddenly looked behind him and asked, "Huan'er, why are you back again?"

The fifth prince was startled, not only bit the tip of his tongue, but also fell off the couch, fell like a dog and ate shit, hurriedly got up and saw that the door curtain was closed tightly, there was no one there!

Standing at the door, Xiao Ze cast a mocking look at Ji Yan.Jiyan's paralyzed face became even colder.

"Together? Huh?" Zheng Shengdi glanced at him with a half-smile.

"Although we're not together, it's almost the same. Huan'er didn't let me touch him before, but now he kisses me. You don't know how passionate he is. He often makes the base of my tongue hurt and my lips numb!" The fifth prince smiled so hard that his teeth could not see.

No one understood Huan'er's enthusiasm better than Zheng Shengdi. His expression remained unchanged, but his hands in his sleeves clenched into fists secretly, and said, "What can a few kisses mean? Now that Huan'er has returned to me , so I don’t need you anymore. Yi Huan’er’s persistent nature, if he falls in love with someone, he will never change until death. You should know that I am the one he loves, and you are just a substitute.”

"You fucking lived to be in your twenties, and you haven't learned to speak human language yet!" The fifth prince raised his fist and smashed the desk to pieces.

Emperor Zhengsheng felt satisfied when he saw that he was suffering more than himself, and he took the sawdust off his body in a leisurely manner, and said, "Huan'er's ownership, you and I will discuss later, let's talk about the business."

"What's the matter?" The Fifth Prince managed to suppress his anger.

"Accompany me in a play..." Zheng Shengdi smiled coldly.

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------

Back in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Zhengsheng, who had been calm all this time, showed an expression of extreme pain, and brushed the memorials on the imperial case, the four treasures of the study, and the tea set... all to the ground.His Huan'er actually made the fifth child entangle, hug, and even kiss unscrupulously, but in just one year, could it really make him forget all the good things they had in the past?

Thinking of Huan'er's indifferent eyes when he looked at him, his self-confidence began to falter.

Cao Yongli knelt beside the imperial case, picked up things carefully, and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Ze said to him silently, "Third Master, don't ask."

I see.The third master is the emperor's only weakness.Except for the third master, no one in this world can make the emperor go crazy.Cao Yongli became more and more careful, cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces that hurt people, and went out obediently.

Emperor Zhengsheng untied an old whitish purse tied around his waist, put it at the end of his nose and smelled it, complex emotions such as joy, pain, and reminiscence appeared on his face.After a long time, he closed his eyes, his trembling eyelashes were quietly stained with moisture, and whispered, "One wrong step, one wrong step, I regret it. Huan'er, I regretted it a long time ago..."

How can such a pure and clean feeling be tarnished by calculation and use?If he had to do it all over again, he would definitely not do that, but unfortunately it was too late to regret...
