The emperor's face was filled with coldness and he gritted his teeth, "Are you negotiating terms with me?"

King Duankang stopped kneeling. He looked at the emperor, and his initially frightened expression gradually faded away. Finally, with a sneer on his lips, he slowly stood up from the ground.

The emperor was so shocked by his action that he subconsciously stepped back a little, his back directly leaning against the back of the chair, "What are you doing!"

Xiao Jiayuan frowned.

Everyone is like this, but your first reaction as an emperor is not to be angry but to be afraid?

It really made the biggest laugh in the world!

Just when King Duankang was about to stand up straight, Xiao Jiayuan, who had been standing unsteadily, suddenly raised his foot and kicked him at the knee.

boom!

His knees suddenly hurt, and King Duankang knelt down again.

The emperor quickly glanced at Xiao Jiayuan, slammed the table, stood up angrily, raised his hand and pointed directly at Prince Duankang, "You are going to rebel!"

King Duankang was so angry that Xiao Jiayuan kicked him. He couldn't lose face, but his knees were so painful that he couldn't stand up. He just sneered at the emperor, "Isn't what I did obvious enough? If your majesty is not afraid of trouble, he will kill me. I can guarantee it."

, as soon as I die today, the twelve counties of Liuzhou will immediately riot tomorrow. As for whether other places will follow suit, it depends on your Majesty. After all, the grain shortage in the northwest was suppressed by the local magistrates for more than a month before reporting it.

From the imperial court.”

The local magistrate waited for a month before reporting it?

After the report was reported, the Second Prince's disaster relief work was delayed for nearly two months by the Crown Prince's obstruction.

It’s been more than a month since Yu Yan left.

It's been going back and forth for nearly half a year... His Majesty knows what kind of trouble will happen in such a long time without even thinking.

Liuzhou is so close to the northwest. Once there is a riot in Liuzhou, it would be strange if the victims in the northwest would not follow suit!

The emperor was able to kill Madam Dingyuanhou without any hesitation because the other members of the Dingyuanhou Mansion were still in Kyoto. He could also convict Madam Dingyuanhou for colluding with King Duankang to cause rebellion.

On the pretext of Sunan Huai's hard work and meritorious service, the emperor could not bear to be implicated and pardoned the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. This shows that as an emperor, he is broad-minded and tolerant, and he is an eternal wise king.

But he couldn't deal with King Duankang!

Prince Duankang's Mansion is already dead.

If it is true as King Duankang said, once King Duankang dies, there will be chaos in Liuzhou...

The emperor closed his eyes, feeling that his energy and blood were blocked.

He is different from the former prince. The former prince was good at fighting and wanted to expand the territory, but he only wanted to maintain the existing prosperity. At least during his reign, the government must be stable and the people must be happy.

You also have to give me peace of mind.

He clenched his fist and slammed his fist on the table. The emperor opened his eyes and stared at King Duankang with his red eyes, "Take him down! Wait for your decision."

He had to think carefully about how to deal with King Duankang.

There was a contemptuous smile in King Duankang's eyes. When he was being taken away, he walked to the door of the royal study, suddenly turned around and said to the emperor: "Do you think that if the former prince succeeds to the throne, he will treat the rebels like this?"

The emperor's stagnant blood was instantly stimulated by these words that pierced his heart, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The head chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward, helped the emperor and looked at Xiao Jiayuan at the same time.

What does King Duankang mean?

Why did he want to be crown prince in advance?

The emperor stared at the back of King Duankang being taken away, his eyes full of anger and resentment reaching the extreme. This anger flowed around, making him vomit two more mouthfuls of blood, gud-dong, rolled his eyes, and pouted.

The chamberlain hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

He helped the emperor go to Longtan, and hurriedly summoned Master Zhang, the envoy of Taiyuan Hospital, to come for consultation.

Mr. Zhang checked his pulse. The chamberlain and Xiao Jia were standing on one side, not far away from each other. The chamberlain lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty has been vomiting blood more and more frequently in the past half month. His body has been hollowed out. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long."

.”

Xiao Jiayuan squinted his eyes and looked at the panting body on the bed, "It doesn't matter."

The head chamberlain turned his head to look at Xiao Jiayuan.

The youngest son of King Beijing, Xiao Jiayuan, looks almost exactly like King Beijing, especially his profile.

With his eyes red, the chamberlain frowned and suppressed the sourness in his heart, "But there is no news about the young prince."

Xiao Jiayuan looked at the busy envoy Zhang over there, "There will be news soon. As soon as King Duankang escapes, he will have news."

The head chamberlain first sighed deeply, then before the sigh came to the end, he suddenly realized something and turned to look at Xiao Jiayuan in shock.

Xiao Jiayuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly with a little smile, "Our plan may not be so complicated. If we have the opportunity, we can tell Lao Liu and let him prepare. It's almost time to use him."

The head chamberlain was so excited that he even forgot that the reason for his shock was that Xiao Jiayuan said that King Duankang had escaped. At this time, all his attention was on Yu Yan, "Did the young prince send the news?"

While he was talking, there was a sound of the emperor coughing over there, which meant he was awake.

The chamberlain hurriedly stopped talking and stepped forward, "Your Majesty."

The emperor was lying on the bed sickly. As soon as he opened his eyes, he met the excited eyes of the chamberlain. The joy in his eyes came from the bottom of his heart, which showed how happy his awakening made the chamberlain.

After all, she has been his loyal servant for many years!

Envoy Zhang Yuan stood on one side and said, "Your Majesty is very angry. In addition, due to the recent busy schedule of government affairs and excessive worries, your vitality has been somewhat weakened. I will prescribe you some medicine, and your Majesty will take it first."

The emperor waved his hand and asked the chamberlain to help him sit up.

When we came together, we saw Xiao Jiayuan standing on one side.

The emperor's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

How should he deal with King Duankang so that Xiao Jiayuan can have a reasonable explanation.

Xiao Jiayuan is an insignificant person, but Xiao Jiayuan's opinion and evaluation of him may directly affect the opinion of some soldiers in the army.

What will you say about him?

Say he is weak and incompetent? Say he compromises with the rebels? Say he is a coward?

When the emperor's heart was filled with turmoil, Xiao Jiayuan yawned, "Your Majesty is fine, I cried with joy, but I was captured by King Duankang and humiliated for most of the night. Now I am sleepy and exhausted. Please forgive me and let me go back."

Get some sleep."

Xiao Jiayuan didn't say a word of thanks.

The emperor has no intention of pursuing this matter now. He hopes that Xiao Jiayuan will disappear from his eyes immediately, but he is also afraid that Xiao Jiayuan will say nonsense after he goes out, "King Duankang rebelled and caused chaos. I will definitely punish him severely, but the people are innocent."

Xiao Jiayuan sneered at the emperor's hypocrisy in his heart, and nodded with an indifferent expression on his face, "Yes, I am even more innocent, and I am almost exhausted."
