The emperor laughed loudly: "What a wise and powerful man. I am tired of hearing these four words, but they are not as true as when they come from your mouth at this moment. I am indeed wise and powerful. At least since my Qin family has been in power, I have been among the best in the world.
Among the former emperors, no one is as courageous as me!"
Qin Chuzhen looked at the emperor and saw that his father was so heroic, just like he had seen when he was a child.
The emperor held Qin Chuzhen in his hands: "Chu Zhen, get up."
His father's hands, long-lost hands, reminded Qin Chuzhen that they were father and son connected by blood, and he mustered up his courage: "It's just that I don't understand what my father has done over the years..."
Qin Chuzhen paused for a long time before saying: "What you did."
"Chu Zhen, it's not that you don't understand. You understand but are confused at the same time, right?"
Qin Chuzhen nodded: "I am half aware and half confused."
The emperor smiled slightly: "Chu Zhen, how long has it been since you played chess with me?"
"Father, since the first time you taught me how to play chess, you have never played chess with me again."
"Okay then, let's play a game together as father and son. Let Father see how your chess skills are?"
Qin Chuzhen was a little confused as to whether his father's visit in the middle of the night was just to play chess with him, but he still followed the instructions and took out the chessboard to play.
When the game of chess began, Qin Chuzhen thought that this was a good opportunity to show off his talent in front of his father. Chess is smart and people are wise. First, he fought with his father to a close victory, but in the end, he silently regretted the loss.
After just playing more than twenty moves, Qin Chuzhen felt that his father's chess skills were unfathomable, and he had to rack his brains for every move, but his father was easy to master.
In the middle of the game, Qin Chuzhen's defeat was determined and he had no way to save himself. He was about to abandon his son and admit defeat, but the emperor squeezed his hand.
Just when Qin Chuzhen was puzzled, the emperor waved his sleeves and disrupted the chess game: "Chu Zhen, you win."
Qin Chuzhen was surprised and said in shock: "My son has lost!"
The emperor smiled and pointed at the chessboard: "Look, there are more black stones on the chessboard than mine. Doesn't that mean you win?"
"This..." Qin Chuzhen really couldn't figure out what his father was thinking. Could it be that he was hinting that he was doing those little tricks behind his back, breaking rules and violating national laws.
The emperor said meaningfully: "This game of chess is only played by you and me. The winner is determined. It is not difficult to win. You only need to practice chess every day. But if this game is played by not only two people, but three people,
If four or even ten people are playing, if they want to win, they can’t just rely on their superior chess skills, but they must also rely on their own strength to mediate a balance.”
"Father, what do you mean?"
"As the emperor, I am just one member of this chess game. In addition, there are hundreds of civil and military officials, nine surnames and thirteen lords, three sects of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, Penglai Immortal Sect, you, Chu Cheng, and
…”
The emperor pondered for a long time before pronouncing the last name: "Thank you!"
Qin Chuzhen was secretly shocked. He originally thought that Xie Fu was a force cultivated by his father to fight against others, but he did not expect that his father actually regarded Xie Fu as one of his opponents.
Could it be that my father was trying to remind me to keep distance from Mr. Xie, but his expression remained calm.
The emperor smiled: "Indeed, I am using my power, but people are not as good as God. There are some things that I could not predict."
Seeing Qin Chuzhen lower his head and remain silent, the emperor said softly: "It's really not easy for my father to be the emperor. Chu Zhen, do you understand now?"
Qin Chuzhen knew what he had to say now, instead of always being submissive, he raised his head and looked at the emperor: "Father, you will look at the nine surnames and thirteen, the three sects of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the civil and military officials, and even regard me and Chu Chengdu as your opponents.
I don’t think it’s strange, but I don’t understand why my father regards the Penglai Immortal Sect as an enemy.”
The emperor smiled and said nothing, as if he wanted Qin Chuzhen to express more of his inner thoughts.
Qin Chuzhen wiped the two separate piles of sunspots into one pile: "Father, my Qin family has been a whole with the Penglai Immortal Sect since the founding of the dynasty. This is also the reason why my Qin family's Qiankun Zhongzhen has been stable for two hundred years."
The emperor smiled lightly: "Chu Zhen, now it's time for a decisive battle, and I won't hide it from you, because the Penglai Immortal Sect is my biggest enemy, and I have made up my mind since I first became a child. One day I will conquer the Immortal Sect.
The 200-year-old sacred mountain that has been weighing on top of my Qin family has been knocked down."
Qin Chuzhen was shocked when he heard this. He felt as if the world was falling apart. He had lost the protection of the Penglai Immortal Sect. His Qin family could be replaced by someone at any time, but his father wanted to take the initiative to overthrow this protection.
The emperor's face showed displeasure: "Why, are you afraid?"
Qin Chuzhen quickly raised his hands as a courtesy: "My son, I am not afraid, but I am extremely surprised and don't know why."
"I don't know why! Then let me explain it to you. My Qin family is the family of the emperor, and I am the king of a country. How can I allow anyone to ride on my head, or even control the fate of me and the Qin family."
"Father, in the past two hundred years, the Penglai Immortal Sect has never..."
The emperor interrupted: "I know what you want to say. It has never happened in the past two hundred years. It does not mean that it will not happen in the future, but it will happen sooner or later. Since we know the outcome, why not deal with the changes early. There must be the Qin family to do this.
The thing is, this person is me!"
"Although our Qin family is a family of emperors, but listen to what the world says, sitting in the Qin family of the emperor, An Hua Xia Han soul with nine surnames and thirteen looks, it seems that our Qin family is taking advantage in vain, and completely ignores our Qin family
After ruling the country and serving the people for two hundred years, they even ranked the Li family and the Wang family above my Qin family. They regarded our Qin family as a bastard with a surname of captives and disdained intermarriage with my Qin family. These wealthy and famous families are so bold.
!”
The more the emperor spoke, the more the atmosphere became more intense: "This emperor's position is useless, and this emperor's name is flashy and unreal. Not only do I want to overthrow the Penglai Immortal Sect, but I also want to eliminate these wealthy and powerful families, so that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism can bow their heads and dominate the universe.
I, the Qin family, am the only one who is supreme!"
Qin Chuzhen didn't expect his father to have such ambitions. He thought...he thought...
"Chu Zhen, now it's time for a showdown, I have something important to tell you personally..."
As the emperor spoke, he suddenly stopped and looked gently in the direction of the door.
Qin Chuzhen also noticed that someone was coming and said coldly: "Who is it?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gu Liuqing's voice came softly: "Your Majesty, it's me."
Qin Chuzhen's face showed displeasure: "What are you doing here?"
"I heard from my servants that the prince is still busy with official duties at this time, so he stewed ginseng soup and sent it to you."
Qin Chuzhen was about to ask Gu Liuqing to go back, but Gu Liuqing opened the door and walked in. When he saw other people in the room, he was frightened and stood at the door. Then he felt that although this person had a calm smile, his eyes were extremely sharp.
It fell on her body, like a thorn in her back.
Qin Chuzhen said coldly: "Who asked you to come in?"
Gu Liuqing was drunk by Qin Chuzhen and panicked: "The slave family..."
The emperor smiled: "Okay."
Qin Chuzhen then said softly: "Put down your things and leave immediately!"
Gu Liuqing approached timidly, put the stewed ginseng soup on the table, and took the opportunity to quietly look at the emperor's clothes and sitting posture. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet the emperor's eyes, and he almost fell down in fright.
The emperor raised his hand to mix it in, and said with a smile: "Be careful."
Gu Liuqing nodded and thanked him and left in a hurry.
After Gu Liuqing left, the emperor stopped smiling and asked solemnly: "Chu Zhen, who is this stunningly beautiful woman?"
"Father, her name is Gu Liuqing, and she is the singer of my son."
The emperor said calmly: "Well, I think she has an air of simplicity that most ladies don't have. I'm tired of listening to the music in the palace. You can send her to the palace tomorrow."
Qin Chuzhen suddenly looked embarrassed. His father said he wanted to listen to new music, which meant that he wanted to get Gu Liuqing.
He originally only used Gu Liuqing as a pawn to drive a wedge between Xie Fu and Qin Chucheng, and at the same time deepen his relationship with Xie Fu.
But after spending these days together, he found that he really fell in love with this woman. No matter how noble a man is, there is always a soft place in his heart, especially when he is in the intrigues of the emperor's house, and he is shocked at every step, and Gu Liuqing happens to play the role of let
The character that his soul dwells in.
Gu Liuqing's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and her beautiful body gave him great spiritual comfort. What's more, this woman also gave him a smart and lively son, and he had become unable to let go of her.
"Father, this woman doesn't understand court etiquette, and I'm afraid she will disappoint my father. I want to hear some new music, and I will find some stunning singers for my father to send to the palace."
The emperor said solemnly: "Chu Zhen, you really think that I am old and fatuous, and you cannot see the relationship between you."
Qin Chuzhen quickly knelt down and apologized: "Father, her real name is Du Zhiwei. She is the daughter of a prison officer. She became a brothel girl and became a brothel girl. When my son saw that she had some talent and beauty, he took her into the palace." He was trembling in his heart, and now
Father became more and more terrifying.
The emperor smiled: "Chu Zhen, if you are willing to tell me the truth, I will forgive you. However, this woman looks familiar to me, so I can't keep her. You kill her!"
Qin Chuzhen's face changed. He didn't expect that Gu Liuqing would be killed if he showed up. He couldn't do it at all, but the emperor's life was difficult.
After all, he had gone through ups and downs, so he pretended to be casual and asked: "Father said she looks familiar, have you seen her somewhere?"
The emperor said calmly: "I can't remember, just kill her."
Seeing the emperor's determination, Qin Chuzhen had no choice but to plead for mercy: "Father, I beg you to spare her life. I am no better than my elder brother, and there are so many beauties around me. This is a woman who can comfort me when she is lonely."
The emperor said calmly: "Chu Zhen, the more you say this, the more this woman must be killed."
Qin Chuzhen was silent, his head lowered and his expression tense. As a prince, he could not even protect his own woman. This was his fate when he was born in an emperor's family, but he was not as good as an ordinary citizen.
All the years of forbearance and grievances were wanted to burst out at this moment, but he said calmly: "Father, I can't do it because she gave birth to a son, and I don't want my son to do what I did."
Destiny, I have never known where my biological mother is since I was a child!"
The emperor said calmly: "Chu Zhen, you know everything."
Qin Chuzhen nodded and said yes.
The emperor said earnestly: "Chu Zhen, if you still have the heart of an emperor, you must pass this test."
Qin Chuzhen raised his head: "I can't do it. I don't want to be a cold-blooded and ruthless person. If I have to do this, I will... give up this thought now. I only ask my father to spare this miserable woman's life."
.”
In fact, he was taking a risk, betting that the less his father lacked these things, the more he valued them.
The emperor said coldly: "Do you really think that I don't know that the prince's affairs are all caused by you behind his back? Do you really think that I have no choice? Even if Chu Cheng can no longer be reused, I can cultivate an emperor at any time when I dominate Yunei."
Chosen, Chu Zhen, believe it or not, I will kill you now!"
At the end of the emperor's speech, he felt murderous in his face, but Qin Chuzhen held his head high and showed no fear: "Then please grant me death!"
The emperor smiled lightly: "Get up and talk first."
When Qin Chuzhen stood up, the emperor smiled and said: "Chu Zhen, do you know why I didn't expose you and still imprisoned the prince? I just want you to take over the prince's military power."
Qin Chuzhen was surprised and happy, feeling that he had made the right bet.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and it was Gu Liuqing who came with a sleeping child in her arms.
Both the emperor and Qin Chuzhen were surprised. The emperor looked at Gu Liuqing, who looked calm and not timid just now. He turned to Qin Chuzhen and asked: "Chuzhen, are you colluding with her?"
Qin Chuzhen had no time to think about the meaning of his father's words at this moment, so he shouted coldly to Gu Liu: "What are you doing here!"
Gu Liuqing ignored Qin Chuzhen, looked at the emperor and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, my name is Du Zhiwei, and my father is Du Wenyan."
Qin Chuzhen's face changed when he heard this, and he yelled angrily: "Liu Qing, what nonsense are you talking about!"
For a moment, he didn't know what Gu Liuqing's purpose was. He stepped forward quickly and raised his hand to pull Gu Liuqing out. However, Gu Liuqing raised his arm and easily grabbed Qin Chuzhen's arm.
Qin Chuzhen's expression was astonished. He secretly lucked in his true energy, but his meridians were brittle, and he was gently pushed to the ground by Gu Liuqing.
Gu Liuqing smiled slightly and said: "Prince Qi, why don't you just sit down, because I have a lot to say tonight."
Qin Chuzhen tried again, but found that his muscles and veins were soft and weak, and he could not move any Qi.
Gu Liuqing smiled and said: "Prince Qi, don't waste your efforts. This is the most strange poison in the world - Traceless Sui Vein. If you can resist it, I won't find it specially to deal with you."
Qin Chuzhen said coldly: "When did you do it?" He said with a surprised expression: "Could it be last night!"
Gu Liuqing shook his head gently and looked at the steaming ginseng soup on the table: "My purpose is not to kill you, so why would I attack you when we were in love with you last night?"
Qin Chuzhen glanced at the ginseng soup on the table: "It's ginseng soup!"
Gu Liuqing smiled: "Use the soup to make the fragrance, Prince Qi, let you be cunning and cunning, I'm afraid I won't even think of it."
It's really ironic to be described like this by the woman he loves. Qin Chuzhen responded: "Du Zhiwei, what I didn't expect was you."
Gu Liuqing smiled: "Qin Chuzhen, you should have thought of it a long time ago. After all, you have done so many dirty things. I know all your conspiracies and tricks. I even know what you are thinking in your heart. You just kidnapped the child."
