After the emperor reprimanded Wen Zhemao, he lowered his voice and advised coldly: "Go back and appease Li Dingshan, and let the people of the three guards return to where they should be. I can pretend that I don't know all this, and you are still the person who the people want."

His Royal Highness Prince Su."

Wen Zhemao looked at the emperor seriously, as if weighing the pros and cons.

The emperor stepped down from his high position, looked at his son lovingly, waited patiently for him to nod, reached out and clasped his shoulders, emphasizing: "After leaving the Yushu Palace, whether it is having an affair with the concubine, or plotting against Xiaoliu, even you

You want to murder me, you want to rebel, all these are treasonous, and if there is no evidence, then none of it happened."

"ha……"

The emperor's face was serious, but Wen Zhemao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

In the emperor's dark expression, Wen Zhemao smiled and said, "Father, I am no longer the naive fool I was when I was six years old."

"What you promised but failed to do back then, now, I will take it back myself."

Wen Zhemao smiled, as if he was unaware of the pain caused by the emperor's hand tightening on his shoulder, "Even if I don't get this country, I will never take advantage of Lao San."

"Actually, compared to sitting here..."

Wen Zhemao's tone paused, and his smile suddenly turned pure and kind, "I don't even want to let you have your way."

"Asshole!"

The emperor was so angry that he slapped him with his hand.

Wen Zhemao was staggered by this slap.

Standing firm, Wen Zhemao raised his hand to wipe the blood that overflowed from his mouth, his eyes no longer showing any warmth: "It's useless, even if you kill me now, since the wolf Li Dingshan has been released, such a good opportunity

, he will never let it go."

The emperor was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He grabbed Wen Zhemao by the lapels of his clothes and lifted him up to him and asked, "Why? Do you have to destroy Wu'an? Ruin the Wen family's legacy?!"

"yes!"

Wen Zhemao affirmed the emperor's question with hatred, staring at the emperor with cold eyes, his eyes were scarlet, "I just want to destroy the thing you care about most and let you taste what it feels like to lose the thing you cherish the most!"

Seeing the madness in Wen Zhemao's eyes, the emperor seemed to recognize his son for the first time.

"Why?"

The emperor asked word for word.

A soft light flashed across Wen Zhemao's eyes, which immediately made the emperor's heart sink to the bottom, and then anger surged: "Just because of that woman?!"

"Yes, just for Xi Liu who you ordered to be executed."

Wen Zhemao faced the emperor's eyes that were about to spit out fire and spoke clearly every word. When he read Xi Liu's name, his voice softened unconsciously, "I was kicked out of the palace by you back then, if it weren't for Xi Liu's protection.

, teach me how to survive, I would have died a long time ago.”

"And you..."

"In order not to offend the queen and arouse Xu Xianfeng's dissatisfaction, after I fell into the water, I allowed others to falsely accuse Xi Liu and beat her to death with a cane!"

At this point, Wen Zhemao's eyes suddenly became fierce. He broke away from the emperor's hand that was holding his clothes, and looked down at him, "I do it to cherish Liu, and not just to cherish Liu. My mother-in-law, Xi Liu, my personal

Chamberlain Huai'an, in Fo'an Temple, Zhi is like a master, who treats me like a parent, Huiming, who treats me like a brother...Everyone who was good to me, everyone I cherish, died because of you!"

Under Wen Zhemao's pressure, the emperor refused to give in: "In a government where the king is weak and the ministers are strong, if you want to be an emperor, you should not let anyone or anything become your weakness."

"Bullshit emperor!"

Wen Zhemao bared his teeth and cursed, "You can't even protect the people you want to protect. You're such a bastard king!"

"presumptuous!"

The emperor slapped him again.

However, this time Wen Zhemao grabbed his hand, stared into his eyes, and said clearly: "You are a coward."

The emperor's backhand slap was so fast that Wen Zhemao could not react at all, and the force was so strong that he was instantly knocked to the ground.

At this moment, lying on the ground, Wen Zhemao remembered that the emperor's right hand was not the right hand that he usually used the most, but the left hand that was rarely used.

When the emperor was young, he also went to the battlefield. When he danced with a hammer with his left hand, he was so powerful that no one could defeat him.

Because my left hand was used to holding a heavy hammer and I couldn't control my strength when writing with a pen, I switched to my right hand.

Huge strength was plastered on his face, and his ears and head were filled with buzzing.

In a daze, he seemed to hear the emperor say something, and watched the emperor walk out of the Jade Shu Palace with blurred vision.

Wen Zhemao stretched out his hand to grab the hem of the emperor's clothes, but in vain he only dragged himself slowly on the ground for two steps.

The emperor gave the last slap with all his strength.

He should be grateful that the emperor's body was corrupted by the snow and stone powder, and his strength was not as strong as before, so he was not killed by this slap.

Watching the emperor walk out of the Yushu Palace and the palace door opening and closing, Wen Zhemao clenched his hands unwillingly, and the last light in his eyes dissipated.

Outside Yushu Palace, An Ning was waiting for him. When he saw the emperor coming out, he immediately greeted him.

"Come to Qiu He, don't let that evil boy die."

The emperor ordered with a stern face, his left hand behind his back trembling slightly.

He was indeed so angry with Wen Zhemao that he did not spare any strength in his attack.

An Ning hurriedly told An Gui to find someone. The emperor glanced at the gate of Yushu Palace, struggled for a moment, and finally left Wangchun Palace with an angry roll of his sleeves.

Since then, Wen Zhemao's place of confinement was changed from Prince Su's Mansion to Yushu Hall.

However, even if Wen Zhemao was placed under house arrest, Li Dingshan was not at ease.

Together with the officials previously controlled by Wen Zhemao's people, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

One more Wen Zhemao or one less Wen Zhemao will not have the slightest impact on this plan.

The Yulin army sent to round up Li Dingshan also failed.

Li Dingshan and his 30,000 soldiers and horses set up camp in an absolutely safe area outside Kangdu City.

The Su Wei army controlled by Wen Zhemao in the city also immediately disappeared and no one knew their movements.

The emperor ordered the Xiangya Guards to be mobilized, and the Chiqi Guards rushed to Beijing, but they were stopped halfway by the Longya Guards and Tianshu Guards.

In addition to the Yulin Army guarding the palace, which cannot be mobilized, the Beijing Army, which usually only assists the Jingzhao Mansion in handling cases and has no combat experience, was also mobilized, and together with the remaining Su Wei Army, guarded all directions of Kangdu.

The more than 2,000 Yan family troops brought back to Beijing by Yan Qing were also urgently recruited, dispersed and organized into the Su Wei Army and the Beijing Army as the command level to coordinate the operations of all parties.

The Beijing army and Su Wei army guarding the south gate facing Li Dingshan's army were personally trained and commanded by Yan Qing.

When Wen Zhemao learned the news, he almost laughed out loud.

Looking at the huge city of Kangdu, there are dozens of military generals, but few of them have actually been on the battlefield, let alone someone like Yan Qing who has been guarding the frontiers and frontlines for four or five years.

These high-ranking officials and young men in the capital are well-dressed, well-educated, embellished with tricks, and able to talk on paper. They are not even as good as a young girl!

Wen Zhemao was lying in the middle of the main hall of Yushu Hall, looking at the curved roof of the hall. The carved beams were arranged horizontally and vertically, like the top of a giant birdcage.

This Yushu Palace, this entire palace, and even the entire Kangdu City are just a huge bird cage.

Countless people were trapped in it, struggling to survive, and he was no exception.
