"Chao Cuo! I heard that you once refused a marriage that would allow you to achieve success in Yecheng? Why?"
"Don't forget your poor and lowly friends, and don't abandon your wretched wife. Your Majesty, why do you want to ask me about this old thing?"
"You said it too." He sighed deeply, then stretched out his hand to straighten Chao Cuo's collar. Li Mu said to him in a gentle tone: "You respect your wife so much, let alone me."
Slowly looking away from the bloody silk, Chao Cuo's eyes finally glowed with some sparkle after Li Mu said these words. .??.
But seeing that Chao Cuo had listened to his words, Li Mu continued: "I am an emperor who is sitting in a state of fear. It is probably not an exaggeration to describe him as frightened. Since even my situation is so difficult, let alone the people around me." Already."
"Your Majesty is talking about Queen Zhen?"
"Well, that is a position that is supposed to command the harem, enjoy the respect of all people, and the support of all ministers!"
Li Mu's emotion made Zhen Mi shed tears while standing outside the palace.
The Shi Chang servants rebelled against the palace and plotted to poison the late empress. Wang Mang withdrew the princes and moved the capital to Yecheng with the late emperor.
It was also at that time that Li Tang sent her to the palace.
In the blink of an eye, three years passed. During these three years, she received neither the support of the Li family in northern Hebei nor the favor of the late emperor.
Until the late emperor was critically ill, Li Tang secretly entered the palace.
Zhen Mi didn't know where Li Tang found Li Mu from, but from the tone of his conversation with the late emperor, it seemed that Li Tang had known for a long time that there was a person in the world who was exactly the same as the late emperor.
It was also at that time that Li Tang gave her a task.
She had not yet met Li Mu, so she was asked to use any method to appease Li Mu and let him confirm his identity as the emperor.
Even at the expense of her body!
It was also for this reason that Zhen Mi said such explicit words to Li Mu three days ago.
"Chao Cuo, how can I abandon such a queen?"
"But Your Majesty——"
"No buts!"
Li Mu gave a cold drink, and Chao Cuo became decadent again.
But seeing Chao Cuo's eyes wandering again, Li Mu felt really bitter in his heart.
This feeling of knowing everything but being unable to say anything to Chao Cuo is really uncomfortable.
Let’s not talk about his identity as a fake emperor. Let’s just talk about the Li family in northern Hebei Province.
If the Li family in northern Hebei really had such appeal, when the real emperor was kidnapped by Wang Mang, why didn't they raise their arms and form a force of King Qin to destroy Wang Mang? Instead, they had to wait until the real emperor died before they killed him. Did he find him to be a fake emperor?
etc--
Li Mu seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned his attention to the bamboo flute lying on the ground.
This bamboo sheng is a relic left by the true emperor.
What if... what if Li Tang in Northern Hebei didn't find me, and I didn't travel through time? Also - when I was first kidnapped by them, Zhen Mi seemed to be quite calm, so calm that she seemed to have known for a long time that I was related to him. The burping emperor looks just like the twin brothers who came out of the same mother's womb. Why is this? It seems that Zhen Mi had never seen me before I was kidnapped.
It seems like he is talking to himself or having a conversation with himself.
Li Mu's strange behavior attracted Chao Cuo's attention.
"His Majesty."
"His Majesty."
Chao Cuo called Li Mu twice in succession, but failed to call Li Mu out of his soliloquy.
Just when Chao Cuo was about to call out for the third time, Li Mu suddenly looked back abruptly.
Staring at Chao Cuo closely, Li Mu said to him in a categorical tone: "Chao Cuo, I don't care who you were bewitched by before you threatened me with such stupid methods as death remonstrance and blood writing.
I only have one thing to say, go back and tell them that if they want to die, I won’t stop them. If I want to destroy Zhen Mi, don’t even think about it!"
After Xiang Chao Cuo said this, Li Mu didn't care whether he would really hit him to death in his Shen Xin Palace, so he walked out without looking back.
"Pang Juan, give me a good look at him. If he dies, just wait and collect his body for me."
"ah?"
But after listening to Li Mu's unintelligible words, Pang Juan, who was standing outside the palace, suddenly became confused.
Zhen Mi knew that Li Mu's words were meant for her and Ji Ming to hear.
Watching Li Mu leave, Zhen Mi felt mixed emotions in her heart at this moment.
Who is it?
Pavilion waterside pavilion
Although the scenery was pleasant, it could not appease the anger in Li Mu's heart.
Depose Zhen Mi and establish Zhao Feiyan, thus making Li Tang and Wang Mang fight against each other!
Let’s not talk about whether this plan is a joke, but let’s talk about whether Zhen Mi and Zhao Feiyan are worthy of this weight.
What really makes Li Mu angry is that the three great sages Chao Cuo, Shang Yang, and Xiao He believed in such a plan that was full of loopholes. Not only did they believe it, they even threatened their lives.
Now, if Chao Cuo enters the palace again, Ji Ming will not be able to hack him to death.
No, that's not right. After the commotion just now, it is still unclear whether Chao Cuo will enter the palace in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Mu became more and more irritable.
"No, this is a matter of life and death for me. How can I be swayed by my emotions?"
Comforting himself from the bottom of his heart, Li Mu forced himself to calm down.
The plan is a bad plan. What is the intention of the person who made this bad plan?
Unable to imagine or guess, Li Mu found that he could not figure out the mystery hidden in it.
"His Majesty--"
Pang Juan walked carefully to Li Mu's side.
But when Li Mu ignored him, Pang Juan said again: "Your Majesty, Mr. Chao didn't have a chance to hit the wall. As your Majesty walked down, General Ji rushed in and carried Mr. Chao out of the palace."
"Oh? General Ji didn't beat him first?"
"Your Majesty is wise, nothing can be hidden from your Majesty. General Ji really wants to beat up shopkeeper Chao, but the Queen is there. Even if General Ji wants to, he doesn't have the guts."
After waiting for a moment, Pang Juan saw that Li Mu had lost his voice again, so he said again: "Your Majesty, you were not watching just now. The Queen was moved to tears by Your Majesty just now."
"Crying?"
"Yes! I can see clearly."
I have to say that Pang Juan is very good at talking. Even Li Mu himself felt that he really got a bargain.
Li Mu looked away from the water and slowly looked at Pang Juan.
"Pang Juan, I ask you, what do you think about Chao Cuo asking me to abolish the queen?"
"Ah?" Pang Juan was flattered. He never expected that Li Mu would ask him for his opinion.
Lowering his posture a little lower, Pang Juan asked Li Mu said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, I don't think I have any opinions. I just think..."
"What do you think?"
"Your Majesty." Pang Juan leaned closer to Li Mu and continued: "I personally think that this Chao Zhang story is too stupid."
"Oh? How do you say this?" But after hearing Pang Juan's novel statement, Li Mu also became interested.
"Your Majesty, I think so. Since Master Chao has long wanted to dethrone Your Majesty, why didn't he mention this matter to Your Majesty in the court? If he mentioned it in the court, the general would definitely be happy."
Replacing support with joy, Pang Juan stopped talking and hurriedly cut his words and said: "But now? Your Majesty, you have also seen that Jing Chao made such a fuss in the palace. Let's not say whether he has any face or not.
If he enters the palace again to teach His Majesty the rituals and music, it is hard to say whether General Ji will let him in."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has no intention.
Pang Juan's analysis made Li Mu suddenly think of a word.
"isolated!"
He was isolated again.
The last two words of isolation mean helpless.
This is because someone doesn't want him to have any contact with the outside world.
This is someone who wants to put him on the chopping block.
Who is it?
There are always people in this world who have extraordinary talents in certain areas, such as Pang Juan. He had only been in the palace for a few days, but he had already mastered the art of observing words and colors to the pinnacle.
Although Li Mu said nothing, Pang Juan could read Li Mu's heart from some of his micro-expressions.
"His Majesty!"
Under Li Mu's silence, Pang Juan suddenly knelt on the ground, looked up at Li Mu with a firm gaze and said: "I am fortunate to be appreciated by your Majesty so I can follow him. For me, being able to follow your majesty is a small minister."
I surrender to the good fortune of this life.”
But after hearing what Pang Juan said, Li Mu lowered his eyes and looked at him in surprise.
Looking at it, I saw that Pang Juan's eyes were surprisingly determined, and he was completely different from his usual self.
"The king is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the king will humiliate his ministers to death. Although I have not been with your majesty for a long time, I can deeply understand the ambitions in your majesty's heart. Now Chao Chao has been tricked by evil people and lost the right to enter the palace. I have the courage to recommend it to your majesty.
One person will serve as your Majesty's eyes and ears on behalf of Chao."
