Perhaps this is also a punishment for God to kill him too much... If he hadn't killed her with his own hands, nor had the imperial physicians let her quietly take medicine, perhaps their son would be the most suitable person to ascend to the position of prince.
A candidate!
But he had no room for regret!
Thinking of this, Xiao Heng shook his head and sighed helplessly, leaned against the soft couch and closed his eyes.
The eunuch Chen Rong, the manager, knew that the emperor had suffered a great blow after King Xuanwu's incident. He was also worried about the government affairs in the court. He hurriedly ordered two palace maids to beat the emperor's shoulders and stood aside and whispered: "Emperor, the eldest prince may be."
Just act voluntarily, he still respects you..."
"I know that he has always had a lot of dissatisfaction with me..." Xiao Heng said lightly with his eyes closed, his voice returning to his usual calmness.
"He kept blaming me for the death of his mother's mother. Later, A Jing, who raised him, was again..." Xiao Heng said this and suddenly stopped and was unwilling to continue talking.
When Chen Rong heard the emperor mention these old things, he suddenly felt nervous and did not dare to respond to the emperor's words.
Because whether it is the death of the eldest prince and the mother of the emperor or the death of Empress Li, they are the most taboo talked about in the palace!
He has always served the emperor and saw with his own eyes how they withered... It is precisely because he saw with his own eyes that he dared not make any comments!
He only hopes that those things will be kept in dust, otherwise one day the eldest prince will find out, and the palace will probably be filled with shocking waves again!
Xiao Heng was silent for a long time, then opened his eyes again, and said to Chen Rong, the eunuch who had been afraid to speak, "Forget it, Chen Rong, go find Deng Xian and ask him to persuade me to be a good person..."
Chen Rong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly to take the order. However, he was about to retreat, but was stopped by Xiao Heng: "If he insisted on competing with me, let him think about his mistakes in the bedroom and not leave!"
Chen Rong was slightly stunned, subconsciously looked at the emperor's face, facing Xiao Heng's sharp gaze, his mind sternly, and he nodded quickly to say yes.
************
In the palace, Xiao Heng and Xiao Changgong and his son were still competing secretly. Xiao Heng's practice of demoting the Minister of State and ordered Shen Rui to remove some of the military power of the Wei family has caused a lot of trouble.
Not only were the civil and military officials constantly talking about this matter, but even the streets and alleys of the imperial capital were talking about this matter. Even the storytellers in the restaurant were passionate and vivid in their words.
Wei Zijin had long known that Xiao Heng would never give up because of Xiao Zhao's death, but he did not expect that he not only demoted Shen Rui, who had always been highly valued, but even attacked the Wei family!
She had no intention of comforting Shen Rui, worried that the Wei family's military power would be deposed to the old general Wei. She did not go to the Luoyang Palace again in the past few days, but stayed in the General's Mansion with the old general Wei Ning.
After hearing about this, the young and energetic Wei Dongting was angry and wanted to go to the palace to meet the emperor. He argued about the matter, but was stopped by Wei Zijin and Wei's father.
"Dad, our Wei family has been working hard for the emperor. Since the eldest brother was sent to guard the border, he has suffered a lot. How could the emperor treat the Wei family like this?!" Wei Dongting said angrily. He really didn't expect the emperor to be so ruthless and surrendered continuously.
Not only did the title of general of the elder brother, but they also removed the military power of the Wei family!
"At this time, you go to the emperor to argue, because you think the emperor's warning to our Wei family is not enough?" Wei's father glared at Wei Dongting and reminded him coldly.
