Chapter 353 Father and son talk

The emperor had just finished giving instructions to the secret guards. When he heard the eunuch's report that Murong Li was coming to see him, he was stunned for a moment. The fourth child came to see him at this time. There must be something urgent. He hurriedly said: "Let the fourth child come to see him." Come in."

The eunuch immediately went to pass the message, and Murong Li immediately entered the Taiqian Palace, knelt down and saluted the emperor: "Father, my son came to disturb you so late, because he has something important to report."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "If there is anything important, please get up and tell me."

Murong Li immediately told the emperor about the caravan leader's people coming out of Fangfei Palace.

The emperor looked at him: "How do you know these things?"

Murong Li said truthfully: "Father, if I can restrain the leader of the horse gang, I naturally have my own people, but father, don't worry, I have no ulterior motives."

Murong Li didn't care what the emperor would think now. They were no longer afraid of what he thought. So he told the truth that he had someone in the palace, and he was not afraid that the emperor would suspect him of usurping the throne. Today was different from the past. He wanted the emperor now. The location is easy for them and can be retrieved at any time.

After hearing this, the emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Murong Li, feeling very uncomfortable. He suddenly felt that he was like a clown in front of his son. The things he was so guarded against, in the eyes of this son, he could easily catch them, and he could do it. He could kill him at any time.

He said quietly: "Fourth brother, you have this strength, why don't you take my place?"

The emperor became interested and wanted to know what his son was thinking.

The father and son had a heart-to-heart talk tonight. He asked Murong Li to sit down, and also asked the eunuch to serve him some good tea. The father and son sat face to face.

The emperor stared at Murong Li, waiting for his answer.

This son has grown up to be so powerful inadvertently, and he also looks noble and noble, even more powerful than the emperor himself. After looking at him for a long time, I feel a sense of oppression pressing against him.

He has a natural aura of a king, which he did not have when he was young.

Murong Li said: "Father, do you want to hear the truth?"

The emperor nodded: "Well, it can be considered a heart-to-heart talk between our father and son. No matter what you said, I will not blame you."

"Okay, this is the first time our father and son have had a face-to-face conversation in such a long time."

Murong Li nodded, then paused and said, "Does the father want his son to take his place?"

The emperor said nothing.

Murong Li sighed: "Actually, the most important thing in the eyes of my father is not necessarily the most important thing in the eyes of my son. What I am doing now is just that I don't want the Murong family to fall into the hands of outsiders, and I don't want to see the Xifeng Kingdom. The people are living in dire straits, and now our royal family has no better successor, otherwise I would not want to come back at all."

He was telling the truth. If the Murong family had a prince with both ability and wisdom, he would not come back. He would just stay in the northwest county and live a carefree life with Yue'er, not wanting to get involved in the struggle for imperial power. Come.

The emperor was deeply shocked by Murong Li's words. He had never known that the throne was so insignificant in his son's eyes.

In his eyes, it was the country of the Murong family and the people of Xifeng Kingdom.

He didn't know that Murong Li had such thoughts because he saw scenes in Northwest County. If the emperor had done something, how could the people in Northwest County be left alone? They would leave their homes, become homeless, and starve to death everywhere.

For this throne, the princes fought fiercely among themselves. If they all had the same mentality as the fourth child, how could the royal family be in its current situation?

In his father's generation, there were more than a dozen princes, but in the end, only two or three were left. In his generation, there are not many left. Now there are only two left, and both of them are still in the fiefdom.

They couldn't be summoned back to Beijing, and they weren't even allowed to go back to this year's reunion banquet.

As for his own sons, there were almost ten at the beginning, but now only the two in front of him are left. There is another one who is in the clan mansion, and one who has been resurrected from the dead is still missing.

Just for the sake of this supreme throne, there is no father-son relationship, no brotherhood in the royal family, only calculations and calculations, and killings.

That's it. The people in the royal family only have the throne in their eyes, not the people. Once a natural or man-made disaster occurs, it will cause a situation like that in Northwest County. The officials are all in danger, and the people are left without care, leading to displacement. If Lao Si hadn't stepped in to rescue the people.

Amid water and fire, Xifeng Kingdom had no choice but to face the rebellion of its people again.

In fact, he knew all this, but his focus was only on the throne, for fear that someone would disturb his position.

The emperor sighed deeply. His knowledge was not as good as his own son. Only when the world is peaceful can he be at peace.

The emperor couldn't help but think deeply. If the royal family continued to act as usual, no matter what outsiders did, the royal family would one day devour the direct lineage.

The direct line has been killing each other for generations. In recent years, the development of the collateral line has far exceeded that of the direct line.

This issue must be taken seriously.

The emperor smiled bitterly and said: "Father, I am ashamed. When I am old, my life is not as clear as my own son. It is my father who is confused."

Murong Li didn't expect that the emperor didn't get angry and began to blame himself. It was really unexpected.

He smiled and said: "Father, there is no need to blame yourself. You also have your own position. Fortunately, it's not too late."

Emperor: "Yes, it's not too late. It's already late at night. Fourth son, please go back. I will handle the matter you mentioned."

"Okay, then father, please take a rest early, and I will retire."

Murong Li stood up, bowed to the emperor, and left the Taiqian Palace.

As soon as Murong Li left, the emperor's face immediately darkened, and he waved to Little Li Zi's father-in-law: "Come with me to Fangfei Palace."

"Yes, I obey."

Xiao Lizi immediately brought the palace lantern to light the way for the emperor, and the two of them headed towards Fangfei Palace without even bringing his personal guards.

In Fangfei Palace, Xiao Meiren has been restless in the palace after knowing that the leader of the Ma Gang failed. She wanted to escape from the palace through the tunnel, but if she escaped, wouldn't there be three hundred taels of silver in this place?

It was still unclear whether the emperor knew about her affair with the caravan leader, and no one had seen the matter between her and the caravan leader. She thought that the emperor would not be able to find her, so she decided to take a gamble.

And even if she escapes, her family will be affected.

In the dead of night, Xiao Meiren was lying on the bed alone, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Suddenly she heard that the palace maid came to report the emperor's arrival. She was shocked. Why did the emperor come so late? Could it be that the matter was exposed?

She immediately stood up and asked the palace maid: "Did the emperor come alone or?"

The palace maid said: "Back to you, young master, the emperor is here alone."
