An Ruhai knelt in front of the emperor's couch, and the emperor half leaned on the bed, slowly looking at the thick report and the corresponding evidence that An Ruhai had investigated in the past few days.

"Everything is going well?" The Emperor asked.

An Ruhai noticed that the emperor didn't take the report and supporting evidence too seriously, and seemed to be just going through the motions.

"Yes, it went well. Once one clue is found, the rest is logical. An Ruhai replied.

The Emperor laughed, and the laughter was eerie, piercing his eardrums like a night owl. "Good way, good way! What a fool, what a fool! ”

An Ruhai lowered his head, not daring to say a word, he didn't know if the emperor's stupid evaluation was him or someone else.

"Ruhai, what do you think about this matter?" Dropping the report in his hand, the emperor stared at An Ruhai with his eyes.

As soon as An Ruhai raised his head, the emperor's eyes were a little piercing, and he seemed to have seen his heart all the time, and after being shocked, he lowered his head again: "The minister has no opinion, the minister was ordered to investigate, but the results of the investigation were accurately reported to His Majesty, as for the rest, it is all determined by His Majesty." ”

"Holy Judge? Cut! The old emperor laughed again, followed by a violent cough, An Ruhai was horrified to see that mouthfuls of blood splattered out with the old emperor's coughing sound. Qin Yi on the side hurriedly took warm water, and a hot towel rinsed and wiped the emperor's mouth.

Your Majesty is really not good. An Ruhai was a little sad, the emperor was one of the few grandmasters in Dachu, but no matter how high the martial arts cultivation is, it will not be able to withstand the invasion of age and disease, An Ruhai knows very well that even the cultivation of His Majesty the Emperor is not enough to suppress the pain, and it will really not be far from that day.

"This is forcing the palace! I'm pressing! The old emperor gasped, raised his hand, and the thick report flew up like snowflakes, falling on An Ruhai's body.

Where An Ruhai knelt, he didn't dare to move.

His Majesty the Emperor is sick, and he has hardly walked out of the door of this palace for most of the past six months, but His Majesty's heart is very clear.

Hanging his head, An Ruhai was silent, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to speak, he knew that when His Majesty spoke again, it would inevitably be the prelude to the beginning of the next era of Da Chu.

"An Ruhai." The wheezing sound slowly subsided, and the emperor's voice came from his head, and the previous anger was completely inaudible from the voice, only calm.

"The minister is here." An Ruhai held his breath.

"You, take my arrows, go... went to seal the Prince's East Palace. No one is allowed to enter or leave, including the Prince. ”

An Ruhai let out a long breath, he knew that the dust had finally settled. In this thrilling battle, the second prince Min Ruoying won completely, and His Royal Highness the crown prince was defeated.

This Da Chu is about to change the sky.

Kowtowed to His Majesty the Emperor, stood up, turned around and walked out, Qin Yi stood by the door, holding the emperor's golden order arrow in both hands, and handed it to An Ruhai.

Holding the golden approval arrow tightly, An Ruhai felt a little hot, and he had used the golden approval arrow to do things many times before, but this time, it was completely different.

Just stepped out of the palace gate, and a person walked towards him, it was Yang Yihe, the left minister of the Great Chu Dynasty, who was above 10,000 people in the Great Chu Dynasty. The two looked at each other silently across the royal road.

"That day, I thought you'd go in." A moment later, Yang Yihe broke Juemo.

"I thought about it, how about going in? After all, it can't change the result. An Ruhai shook his head and said.

"That's not necessarily, if you and I work together, Your Majesty has to think about it."

"Yang Xiang, I will never disobey His Majesty's wishes." An Ruhai looked down at the golden order arrow in his hand.

Yang Yihe's gaze also fell on the top of the golden order arrow at the same time, and his face turned slightly pale, but it instantly returned to normal, "Commander An, you are also a soldier!" ”

An Ruhai's heart suddenly swelled with shame: "Yang Xiang, I am Your Majesty's courtier first. ”

"Even if Your Majesty is wrong?"

"This time, I don't think Your Majesty is necessarily wrong, or, there is another situation, Yang Xiang, you are the head of the Wenchen, when the head of the court, look at problems, think about things, think about things in the long term than me, why can't you think about it this time?"

"A gentleman stands in the world, does something, and does nothing." Yang Yihe was silent for a long time. "Yang is studying, joining the WTO, being a minister, governing the government, I dare not say that I am above board, but I don't dare to trample on the bottom line."

"It's useless, Your Majesty has already made up your mind." Looking at Yang Yi and this literati, An Ruhai felt a sense of admiration in his heart, this may be what their scholars call integrity, I am afraid that I will never be able to learn it.

"Ruhai, this is going to the Prince's East Palace?" Yang Yihe asked.

"Yes!"

"Can you wait for me for a moment?"

An Ruhai hesitated for a while, Yang Yihe is the emperor's young playmate, a friend of the general horn, for decades, he has assisted the emperor in governing Dachu, has high morality, has won the trust of His Majesty, and is regarded as a good friend by His Majesty, can he really change the ending?

"It won't take long, I can't delay your business, besides, I don't care about this moment, is it possible that with this little time, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do anything?" Yang Yihe said with a wry smile.

"The humble position is waiting for Yang Xiang here." An Ruhai finally made up his mind, whether it succeeds or not, it will drag on for a while, which can be regarded as respect for this old minister.

"Thank you like the sea." Yang Yihe nodded, turned around and walked towards the palace.

Stepping into the gate of the dormitory, Yang Yihe didn't say a word, and knelt directly on the ground, touching the ground with his forehead. The emperor was lying on the bed, tilting his head to look at Yang Yihe, but he was silent, and the two knelt and lay down like this, facing each other strangely. The great eunuch Qin Yi, who was standing on the side, twisted his body uneasily, his eyes turning around the emperor and Yang Yi and the two.

I don't know how long it has been, but the emperor finally sighed: "Yihe, get up, my mind has been decided." ”

"Your Majesty, how can the sixty thousand heroic souls turn their eyes away? How can the hundreds of thousands of people in Anyang County who were robbed be convinced? Yang Yihe raised his head, stiffened his neck, and said.

"The dead are gone. The people, alas, will never know the truth of this. The winner is king, the loser is the villain, when we studied together, don't you remember what the teacher said? History is always submerged under the tip of the winner's pen. The emperor smiled: "Yihe, you have been close to 20 years, haven't you understood this truth?" ”

"Your Majesty, the monarch, the righteous, the powerful, if you use cunning to gain profits, to establish the world with deceit, and to seek life with ruthlessness, then the people will not be long, and the country will not be long." Yang Yihe said slowly. "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is lenient, if he is a king, even if he can't let Da Chu carry forward, but it is enough to keep it, and if the second prince is the king, it is very likely to go to two extremes, either Da Chu dominates the world, or Da Chu will destroy the country and destroy the clan, Your Majesty, we can't take this risk!"

"Ruoying can't be a Ming Jun, but maybe she can become a tyrant." The emperor on the sickbed sighed: "If Cheng is too lenient, he can only become a coward, Yihe, this game of chess, he has no power to fight back, and even the people around him carry him one by one, which really disappoints me, such a person, do you think you can really become the king of Da Chu Shoucheng?" I won't live long, how long will you live? How many more years can you help him? No one can support him all the time, Ruoying is a little ruthless, but from my point of view, or for Da Chu, he is more suitable. The world has been peaceful for more than 100 years, and the Eastern Qi Dynasty is eyeing the tiger, and the ambition to dominate the world has long been undisguised. ”

Yang Yihe fell silent, he knew His Majesty the Emperor's character too well. Nodding, he kowtowed three times wordlessly, "Your Majesty, the minister is old, please tell the old man to return to his hometown." ”

"It's okay, you have been the first assistant for more than 20 years, if Ying is in power, you will not be allowed, let's leave early, while I am still alive, I can let you return to your hometown in fine clothes and raise your old age." The emperor said sadly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Yihe stood up with a choked voice, and bowed deeply, "Your Majesty, take care." ”

Next to the royal road, An Ruhai watched Yang Yihe come with tears streaming down his face, and knew that things could not be changed. "Left Phase!"

"I have resigned to Your Majesty." Yang Yihe waved his hand and staggered away.
