However, Emperor Wei didn't know how to dissuade him, or in other words, he didn't even know whether to dissuade him, because he knew very well what exactly caused this son to undergo such a big change.

And just as he was hesitating, a chuckle suddenly came from outside the palace: "What a strong murderous aura..."

"who?"

Everyone in the hall turned around in surprise and looked towards the direction from which the voice came. They were wondering: Who dared to make fun of him at such a time.

Under the gaze of everyone in the hall, a middle-aged man wearing cloth and holding a cane, with the support of several guards, walked to the inner hall and looked at everyone with a smile.

Seeing this person, Emperor Wei had an excited expression on his face and struggled to stand up.

Not far away, the Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo, who had been silent from beginning to end, suddenly opened his eyes, subconsciously clenched his fists, and even his breathing became much thicker involuntarily.

What's more, his eyes shined with an unprecedented light.

The general, Shao Hu, immediately kowtowed to the ground and clasped his fists, calling him "Your Majesty."

"I didn't expect that even this person would be alarmed..."

Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army who had already walked up to Zhao Hongrun, looked at the middle-aged man in civilian clothes, looked surprised, and murmured.

"Who is this?" Zhao Hongrun asked Sima An in a low voice. He could see that even the most arrogant Sima An respected the visitor.

"He is your fifth uncle, Your Highness." Sima An reminded him in a low voice.

"Fifth Uncle? King Yu Zhao Yuande?"

Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth slightly, and instantly recalled scenes of past memories in his mind: a figure who was in poor health and would cough up blood from time to time.

At this time, in a corner of the inner hall, Zhao Hongrun's Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao also looked excitedly at the guard next to the middle-aged commoner, who was clearly their brother - Shen Yu, the former Zongwei Chief.

"Shen Yu..." Wei Jiao couldn't hide the joy in his heart and couldn't help but say hello.

He would not consider whether Shen Yu would take back the position of Zong Wei Chief after his return. Right now, he just wanted to know whether Shen Yu's cut tendon had healed and whether Shen Yu had learned how to use weapons from Prince Yu's side. ability.

Hearing Wei Jiao's call, Shen Yu blinked at the former, probably wanting to express "It's not convenient to talk now, we'll talk later."

Seeing Shen Yu's appearance, Wei Jiao felt very happy. After all, since Shen Yu is so open-minded, there is a high probability that his injury has already been cured.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the middle-aged man wearing cloth and holding a cane, or simply the King of Yu Zhao Yuandai, gently broke away from the support of Shen Yu and several other guards, walked towards Emperor Wei's bed, and deeply He bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Yuanji, is here to greet you."

However, before King Yu Zhao Yuandai could bend down, Emperor Wei, who had already struggled to get up and rest, stepped forward to help the former.

After being helped up by Emperor Wei, King Yu Zhao Yuanke changed his formal tone and said bitterly: "I'm late, brother Si Wang..."

Emperor Wei was stunned for a moment, then a look of sadness appeared on his face, and he nodded silently.

After sighing, he said to everyone in the hall: "Please step aside for now."

Emperor Wei gave the order, and naturally no one dared to disobey. They all retreated from the Ganlu Hall and stood outside the hall to wait.

When leaving the Ganlu Hall, Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo paused deliberately when passing Yu King Zhao Yuanke, and Yu King Zhao Yuanke also glanced at him, and neither of them spoke.

Invisibly, their eyes collided as if they were real.

"Heh." With an unknown chuckle, Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo left the Manlu Palace with Pang Huan and others.

"Your Majesty." General Shao Hu then came to the King of Yu, Zhao Yuandai.

As if he guessed what his Zongwei Chief wanted to say, King Yu Zhao Yuandai shook his head slightly.

General Shaohu understood, clasped his fists, and left the Ganlu Hall.

At this time, the inner hall of Manlu Hall was deserted.

Seeing this, King Yu Zhao Yuandai looked at Emperor Wei intently and said in a sighing tone: "I heard about Lao Liu when I entered the city... But it shouldn't be like what is said in the city, right?"

Regarding the rumors in the city that "Yi Wang Zhao Yuanli died while escorting his chariot", Yu Wang Zhao Yuanji did not believe it.

After all, no assassin would be able to get close to the Fourth Brother in front of him except under special circumstances.

When the Emperor of Wei heard this, he remained silent.

After a while, he said in a nonchalant tone: "It's Xiao Luan... It can be confirmed that the leader of the remaining members of the Xiao family is Xiao Luan."

"Xiao Luan?"

After all, they were names separated by more than ten years. King Yu Zhao Yuandai was stunned for a while before he remembered this familiar name: "Xiao Luan, the son of Xiao Boyuan, Marquis of Nan Yan?"

"Exactly." Emperor Wei nodded.

Hearing this, King Yu Zhao Yuan'ai frowned and said in confusion: "Isn't Xiao Luan dead?"

"No." Emperor Wei said in a deep voice: "According to Lao Liu, on that day, a guard who looked exactly like Xiao Luan was executed in Xiao Luan's place, while Xiao Luan escaped by pretending to be a guard.

, Lao Liu missed his old relationship, so he let Xiao Luan run away privately."

King Yu Zhao Yuanke frowned and asked again: "What's going on with the rebellion in Zhongyang Palace? Is Lao Liu colluding with Xiao Luan?"

Judging from his tone, he didn't believe that Zhao Yuanli, the sixth child, would collude with a traitor like Xiao Luan.

Seeing this, Emperor Wei explained sadly: "It is true that Lao Liu colluded with Xiao Luan, but I can see that Lao Liu's original intention was just to make me admit that I had framed the Xiao family. You and I both know Lao Liu's character.

He couldn't do what he did for treason...However, Xiao Luan betrayed Lao Liu's trust and severed his previous friendship with Lao Liu..."

With that said, Emperor Wei told King Yu Zhao Yuandai about the rebellion in Zhongyang Palace that day, but the latter could not help but lament that God's will had tricked people.

Because in Zhao Yuanqi's memory, Xiao Luan was also a forthright and righteous person, and his talents were better than his father, Xiao Boyuan, Marquis of Nanyan. Because of their similar personalities, Xiao Luan had the deepest friendship with his sixth son, Zhao Yuanqi.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Xiao family of Nanyan secretly supported Zhao Yuancai. On the one hand, it was because of Xiao Shuai's relationship, but on the other hand, the friendship between Xiao Luan and Zhao Yuanli also played a decisive role.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Luan betrayed his once sworn friend in order to take revenge.

After thinking about it, King Yu Zhao Yuan'ai sighed: "I didn't expect that after so many years, Lao Liu still can't let go..."

When Emperor Wei heard this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

He told no one that the reason why he couldn't bear to execute the sixth child, Zhao Yuanli, was because he felt guilty, because the woman he killed by mistake was the woman Zhao Yuanli had silently guarded and loved all his life.

At the same time, outside the Ganlu Hall, Shen Yu had arrived in front of Zhao Hongrun, cupping his hands and clasping his fists.

He said excitedly: "Your Highness, do you still remember your humble position?"

Although the sudden appearance of King Yu Zhao Yuanli interrupted the dispatch of troops and felt a little unsettled, Zhao Hongrun was still in high spirits when he saw Shen Yu, the former Zongwei chief, which somewhat diluted the sadness of the death of Zhao Yuanli, the sixth uncle of the king.

After punching Shen Yu hard in the chest, Zhao Hongrun deliberately said with a straight face: "We have been separated for several years. At first, there were letters to ensure safety, but then even the letters were broken, and now you have appeared in front of me?...

Let me tell you, you don’t want the salary in the past few years!”

Shen Yu grinned, then clasped his fists heavily, looked at Zhao Hongrun and said seriously: "Your Highness, I'm back!"

Zhao Hongrun nodded and reached out to pat Shen Yu's arm.

At this time, Wei Jiao, the Zong Wei Chief, said deliberately: "Shen Yu, even if you come back, Zong Wei Chief will not have your share... In other words, when you saw the Zong Wei Chief, you didn't show any sign.

What?"

Hearing this, Shen Yu glanced at Wei Jiao sideways, as if he didn't take Wei Jiao seriously at all, and Wei Jiao looked like he was gnashing his teeth in anger.

But in the end, Shen Yu and Wei Jiao still hugged each other warmly.

Wei Jiao: "It's a pity that you couldn't catch His Highness's crowning ceremony..."

Shen Yu: "Huh? Is Your Highness weak?"

Wei Jiao: "Of course, haven't you seen that His Highness has grown taller?"

Shen Yu: "Is there any?"

Wei Jiao: "...Maybe not?"

"That's enough for you two!"

Seeing these two bastard Zong Wei making fun of his height when they met again, Zhao Hongrun glared at them fiercely.

About half an hour later, Emperor Wei once again called everyone outside the palace into the palace and announced something in public.

"...I hereby appoint King Yu Zhao Yuandai as the commander-in-chief of this war."

Looking at the fifth uncle standing next to Emperor Wei's bed, seeing him covering his mouth with a handkerchief and coughing violently from time to time, to be fair, Zhao Hongrun really couldn't trust him at all.

Although it is somewhat disrespectful to say this, can such a sick man really shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the commander-in-chief of all armies?

Looking at the figure that seemed to be blown away by the wind, Zhao Hongrun even worried that his fifth uncle would die of illness on the battlefield.

I believe that Zhao Hongrun is not the only one who is so suspicious. Everyone in the hall with strange expressions at this moment is probably suspecting this matter.

However, as a party involved, King Yu Zhao Yuanke did not have this consciousness. After ordering someone to lay out a huge map in the center of the palace, he narrated the strategy of this battle in public.

To Zhao Hongrun's expectation, the seemingly weak fifth uncle's strategy was extremely upright.

It can be summed up in eight words.
