Chapter 10 The emperor’s heart is as deep as the sea
[]
The north wind in the imperial capital is getting stronger and stronger!
The snow started to fall again.
On the carriage where Sima Jian was.
The burly coachman finally couldn't help but asked: "Master, if we don't kill the Ninth Prince, we will be violating the emperor's secret decree. Is it worth it?"
"Hehehe"
Sima Jian touched his flowing green beard and said with a flash of wisdom in his eyes: "Eighteen, you have to know that the Ninth Prince is the son of a dragon, the son of an emperor. Throughout the ages, those who are killed by outsiders will not have a happy ending."
Shiba, who was driving the carriage, suddenly realized: "No wonder the master lets the second lady make her own decision!"
"Hehehe"
Prime Minister Sima held the pearl of wisdom in his hand and slowly shook his head and said: "What's more important is that the current Holy Sage is at its peak. If there are no accidents, he can still rule for a long, long time!"
"And the prince can't wait to be the emperor. His ambition is seen by the current emperor and ministers!"
"The prince's current strength is not strong, and the emperor is not worried about a palace coup."
"However, if the Sima family, as the leader of the noble clan, marries both of their daughters to the prince, it means that the Sima family has been completely tied to the prince. The prince has the strength of our Sima family... which will really make the emperor unable to eat delicious food. could not sleep well!"
"Unless... the prince or the entire Sima clan is killed, can he feel at ease!"
"Eighteen, if you were the emperor today, who would you let die?"
Coachman Shiba had a solemn look on his face: "If I were the emperor, I would definitely not kill my own son, so I would destroy the Sima family!"
"Hahaha"
Sima Jian smiled happily: "You can teach me!"
"The Sima family knew that Xiaolan would die if she followed Prince Huang, but they still gave up. Such an attitude can calm the heart of the real dragon in the palace!"
Coachman Shiba looked worried and couldn't bear it: "Master, the second young lady deserves your love the most, are you really willing to give it up?"
Sima Jian's expression became solemn: "The clan's guard camp must be ordered to ensure Xiaolan's safety!"
"Otherwise, we will be buried together!"
Coachman Shiba finally had a smile on his rough face: "Yes!"
"What about Prince Huang?"
Sima Jian blinked: "Don't worry about him!"
"If it dies, it's not a real dragon, it's just an insect with a frustrated fate!"
"yes!"
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Xia is approving the document.
The old eunuch quietly walked into the house and stood not far behind Emperor Xia.
Emperor Xia asked without raising his head: "Xiao Jiu is gone?"
"gone!"
The old eunuch reported the situation: "Only the prince and Prime Minister Zuo are seeing each other off."
"None of the civil and military officials of the DPRK went out. They were watching the snow scene at home."
"Why"
Emperor Xia put the pen on the pen holder, looked at the heavy snow outside the door, and sighed: "All the civil and military officials in the dynasty are smart people!"
"They are all guessing my thoughts!"
"But, can they really guess it?"
"It doesn't matter that I'm such a stingy person if I go to see off Prince Huang?"
"Do they all think that I am a cruel and ruthless father?"
The old eunuch did not dare to answer.
He cleverly changed the subject: "Your Majesty, what should I do about Prime Minister Zuo Sima Jian?"
"Hehehe"
Emperor Xia smiled enigmatically.
However, he was obviously interested in this topic: "Sima Jian is so smart, he should have guessed what I was thinking."
"But he didn't kill Xiaojiu, and he even hooked up with the beautiful and beautiful daughter. Why do you think this is?"
"Among all my princes, does he think more highly of Xiao Jiu?"
"Or express your loyalty to me?"
The old eunuch and the old god bowed their bodies, remained silent, and listened quietly.
The emperor is a hero and has strong opinions.
No need for him to answer!
After a while.
The emperor seemed to have figured out something!
He stood up and asked cheerfully: "Old man, tell me why Sima Jian didn't kill Xiaojiu, why does my heart feel so comfortable?"
This time, the emperor called him by name and asked him to answer.
Throughout the ages, the minds of emperors have been unpredictable, and anyone who guesses correctly will die.
The old eunuch had no choice but to reply: "Longzi, only dragons can bully you!"
"If outsiders bully you, you will die!"
"Hahaha"
The emperor laughed and scolded: "Old man, no wonder you can still live by my side till now?"
The old eunuch was a master at not answering the emperor's questions and changed the subject without leaving any trace: "Your Majesty, the prince has already arranged a killing array on the road from the imperial capital to Dahuang Prefecture."
"Even if Sima Jian doesn't take action, the Ninth Prince may not be able to reach the fief alive."
The emperor's face darkened, he closed his eyes, feeling a little upset: "That's all!"
"Whether Xiaojiu can survive depends on whether his life is tough enough!"
"This time, I hope those remnants of the previous dynasty can jump out and let me catch them all in one fell swoop!"
"Old man, if you have any information, please report it in time."
"yes!"
The old eunuch thought for a while and asked, "What are the arrangements for Concubine Qin?"
"Move her to Gushan Palace, and no one can enter or leave except me."
"Cut off Concubine Qin's contact with the outside world."
