"Master Taifu, Master Taifu..."

The nearby officials went to help, but found that they could not help him.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor has passed away."

All the officials were immediately in a state of confusion, with expressions ranging from surprise to pity. Only the prince was still kneeling on the ground quietly, as if he had not heard.

His time has completely passed. His dying struggle was not only useless, but also a complete defeat, and he lost everything.

Cen Ziran lost his military power, Cen Shen died... He had nothing, he had everything!

Emperor Wen personally got down from the dragon chair, walked to Cen Shen, and personally felt his breath.

The tentacles were cold, Emperor Wen's face was sad, he slowly closed his eyes, and said in a painful voice, "Taifu Cen is my mentor, and I will respect him as Taifu when I ascend the throne. Taifu has served the country all his life, and he has been loyal to the country. Now that he is old, destiny

You can't violate it, you can't violate the destiny of heaven...Preach my will, bury the Taifu generously, and postulate him as a loyal Duke."

Cen Shen was eighty years old, but he died in the main hall in the end. Everyone was sad in their hearts, and they couldn't help but feel even more trembling when they left.

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. In the court, there is no room for one wrong move.

Cen Shenqian shouldn't marry his granddaughter to the prince... He thought it would improve his status, but he didn't expect that once the prince fell, the Cen family would also be ruined.

Who wouldn't lament the death of a rabbit or a fox?

There were a few who were timid and even walked unsteadily, so they had to support each other and leave.

Only the prince still couldn't kneel down. When all the officials had left, the prince asked hoarsely, "Father, what did I do wrong?"

Emperor Wen glanced at him indifferently, but said to Bo Qin, "Go and call Huaimo back, take him to the Yangxin Hall and wait there. Without my will, he is not allowed to leave even half a step, and he is not allowed to see anyone."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Bo Qin left, Fu Ze also retreated. Emperor Wen and the Crown Prince were the only ones left in the huge hall.

Emperor Wen slowly walked up to the prince.

Xiao Di's face now completely lost the high spirits of the past. His face was pale, his lips were blue, and his eyes were full of dejection after failure. At this moment, he no longer considered the need for courtesy between the monarch and his ministers, and looked straight at Emperor Wen.

, asked painfully, "

Is everything planned by you? In Xuanyang County, you designed me to have a secret meeting with Shen Zui and put me under house arrest in the name of it. But how can this crime alone keep me under house arrest for a long time? And you, your purpose is not just to put me under house arrest.

I'm so simple

?You still want to depose the prince, father, you have already planned to depose the son and minister! The Cen family has a strong backing for the son and minister, so you start from the Cen family, cut off this backing, and take back the military power. However, Cen Ziran's meritorious service

High and powerful, Cen Shen’s disciples are all over the world.

With a single pull, the whole body was moved. You captured the thief first, captured the king, seriously injured Cen Ziran and imprisoned him, and then angered Cen Shen to death... Father, you are so cruel. You cut off all the arms of my son and ministers.

, leaving my sons and ministers alone and unable to sing, from now on I have nothing.”

Emperor Wen looked down at his son kneeling at his feet, his expression calm and indifferent, and he could not see any blood ties. After Xiao Di finished speaking, he did not deny it, but said calmly, "You can see clearly now.

Already."

Xiao Di's eyes turned red, and he laughed sadly, but the laughter was even sadder than crying, "Father, you are so partial! Xiao Yao of Huaimo is your son, and none of the other sons are your sons!

"

"Xiao Di, you have today, which has nothing to do with me; Huaimo has today, and it has nothing to do with me. You also have different intentions. If you have Huaimo's thoughts, you will be the winner today. Kneel down

The people here are Huaimo."

"Having different intentions..." Xiao Di laughed lowly, "Father, you didn't trust me from the beginning."

Emperor Wen curled his lips coldly, "You want to tell me that you don't covet my throne? I hate others coveting my things the most in my life, and my biological son is no exception! Among many sons, do you think I love Xiao the most?

Yao? But you don’t remember that when you were young, my favorite son was you, Xiao Di, because I loved your biological mother the most. When you were sick, I stayed by your bed without clothes for three days and three nights.

I had a nightmare, and I personally slept with you and told you stories. But as you grew up, you fell in love with my throne, and began to learn to obey me and secretly cultivate power. You have been preparing to ascend to my throne early in the morning.

Prepare for the position. Not only you, but also your younger brothers, Xiao Wei, Xiao Li... Only Xiao Yao is cynical and willful, and he is the only one who does not take my position seriously."

"Xiao Wei, Xiao Li, Huai Mo... they all love you, why is it me? Father, why is it me? Why do you have to be so cruel to me?"

"It's not that I'm cruel to you, it's that you are the most incompetent. I know my son better than my father, Xiao Wei is forbearing, Xiao Li is dormant, and Huaimo is making every move... You are the only one who has the appearance. I also want to not be cruel to you, but I can't allow it.

You sat in my position with such unworthy skills. If I let you continue to be the prince, I would be sorry for myself.

Jiangshan. Now that I have deposed you, I can still save your life and protect you from worries for the rest of your life. But if you really ascend the throne, none of the remaining people will let you go. So what if you have the Cen family?

?Cen Shen is old, Cen Zi is brave and resourceful, and Mrs. Cen is the son of a tiger father and a dog. Is there anyone in the Cen family who can help you defeat any of them?"

"When you gain power, Cen Ziran is arrogant; when you lose power, Cen Ziran can't sit still and wants to help you restore it. Huaimo got married and left Princess Nanzhao to leave... Did he find out? Did you find out?

It was Xiao Wei who discovered it! Even my people didn't know about it, but Xiao Wei discovered it. Why did he tell you such a profound and meticulous person without taking any action? Have you ever thought about it? He wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, killing two birds with one stone.

Diao, get rid of you and Huai Mo at the same time! He killed Zhang Jushi, and you couldn't sit still and ran to search for a new house. But the Princess of Nanzhao has been in charge of the government in Nanzhao for many years, and she is so decisive in killing that even the king of Nanzhao wants to

Do you listen to her in everything? Is she so easy to deal with? Let me tell you, from the moment Mrs. Cen stepped into Princess Nanzhao's new house, your defeat was certain. What Huaimo did and what I did after that were just smooth sailing.

Boat."

"Xiao Di, please remember, whether it is you, Huai Mo, Xiao Wei or Xiao Li, your fate is not decided by me, but by you." After Emperor Wen said this, he paused and said softly.

He closed his eyes lightly and sighed softly, "If I really have the ability, even if I have murderous intentions, it will be in vain. He can still rise to the top and rise rapidly, forcing me to be stretched thin."

Xiao Di's whole body was limp, and the last trace of breath left in his body seemed to be taken away in an instant. He lowered his eyes in confusion, and his eyes fell on the ground. His lips trembled, and he could not make a sound for a long time.

After a long time, Xiao Di closed his eyes and asked in a trembling voice, "Is the person my father mentioned in the last sentence Huai Mo?"

Emperor Wen did not answer him.

Xiao Di smiled mockingly to himself, then knelt straight, bowed heavily to Emperor Wen, and said sadly, "My son... thank you father for not killing me."

Emperor Wen turned his back, waved to him, and said calmly, "Kneel down."

Xiao Di slowly stood up, his tall body staggering two steps unsteadily.

In the royal family, the winner is always the king and the loser is the bandit. The once high-spirited and ambitious prince now has an aura of decadence and despair all over his body. He slowly leaves step by step. He is not just leaving, he is withdrawing;

Not just now, but forever, completely withdrawing from this power struggle.

However, Xiao Di didn't see him. After he left, Emperor Wen closed his eyes and sighed deeply. His brows were filled with signs of aging.

Emperor Wen was the only one in the main hall. Fuze came in cautiously from the outside and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's important to take care of the dragon body."

"Things," Emperor Wen said calmly, his voice sounding exhausted, "I am just reflecting on how I raised this son. Abolition of the prince... will shake the country's plan. I don't want to abolish him, and I also want him to become a talented person. But I

After cultivating him carefully, I actually cultivated him into this useless person."

"Your Majesty, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself."

Emperor Wen was silent and then asked, "What's the matter with you coming in?"

"Your Majesty, I have found Shenzui. She is now in the west building."

Emperor Wen Long Yan was furious, turned around abruptly, with a livid face, and asked harshly, "She is so ignorant of self-love that she willingly fell to the West Tower! Does Huaimo also know?"

"Back to the emperor, the Prime Minister knew early in the morning that there was a woman in the west tower who was good at playing the piano. Her name was Luoxi, and she was famous far and wide. Several important officials in the court had heard about it and were full of praises, but no one had ever seen Luoxi's face. So the news now
