King Ning briefly explained his acquaintance with Jiang Weiwei. Finally, he said, "doctor Jiang saved my life. In return, I want to take care of Wei Chen as much as possible."

Sima wearily said, "so you have seen Jiang Weiwei's husband?"

King Ning wanted to say no, but after smiling at the emperor's eyes, the lie was forcibly swallowed back by him.

He said with a smile, "it seems that your majesty already knows about Gu Fei."

He said Gu Fei, not Gu sunken boat.

This is a test.

He wanted to know whether the emperor really knew Gu Fei's identity.

As a result, the emperor did not disappoint him.

"Uncle Huang hasn't returned to Bianjing for a long time. I don't know the changes of the situation in Bianjing. Gu Fei is not only the town governor of the North Town governor, but also was canonized by me as the marquis in the pass and the general of the West expedition not long ago. Like his father, he is a man of letters and martial arts. I hope he can become a pillar of the country and clear the obstacles for the future development of Southern Chu. "

For this reason, there is no need to test.

King Ning said in a soft tone that was completely inconsistent with his weight: "it seems that your majesty knows everything, so I have nothing to hide. I did meet Gu Fei. I wanted to report it to your majesty, but because Dr. Jiang saved my life, in return, I promised not to disclose Gu Fei's affairs. I committed the crime of bullying the king, Please punish your majesty. "

Then he knelt down.

Because his body was too fat, the posture of kneeling was particularly difficult for him. He had to squat down first, support his hands on the ground, and kneel his knees to the ground a little bit. The whole set of movements made him sweat all over.

This picture made Sima tired of crying and laughing.

"Uncle Huang, I don't mean to blame you. Get up first."

Ning Wang struggled twice and sadly found that he couldn't get up.

He is so fat that his two arms alone can't support his whole body to stand up.

Xie Miao is a very observant person. He found the embarrassing situation of King Ning and hurried forward to help king Ning up.

Ning Wang gasped: "thank you."

"You're welcome, Lord." Xie Miao bowed slightly and retreated to the side wisely.

Sima fan took out a jade token: "you can see Wei Chen with this token."

"Thank you, your majesty."

King Ning was about to reach out to pick it up. Sima fan suddenly took the token back. He said, "you can give it to you, but you have to promise me a request."

"Your Majesty, please command."

"I want you to find out the truth about the assassination of the prince."

In fact, King Ning is a person who is afraid of trouble. This can be seen from his running away all year round. He doesn't want to stay in Bianjing, have contacts with those aristocratic families, and arouse the suspicion of the emperor. He just wants to be a carefree Prince comfortably.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

He dodged around and finally got caught up in trouble.

Ning Wangwei said wrongfully, "since the emperor has opened his mouth, what else can I do? I can only promise. "

Sima tired of laughing and handed the token to him.

"I wish the Royal uncle to solve the case as soon as possible. I'm waiting for your good news in the palace."

It is reasonable to say that this case should be handed over to Dali temple, the Ministry of punishment and the royal guards, which can play a role of mutual supervision.

But Sima couldn't trust the royal guards and the criminal department.

At present, only king Ning can be trusted. In addition, he has high seniority and is a relative of the emperor. Anyone who sees him has to be courteous and do not have to be afraid of offending others. Therefore, it is most appropriate for him to check the matter.

King Ning took the token. The purpose of his trip had been achieved. He should have left, but his curiosity prompted him to stand still.

He hesitated again and again, but he couldn't help opening his mouth.

"Since your majesty already knows Gu Fei's identity, why reuse him? Aren't you afraid that he will seek revenge on you? After all, you were... "

But personally ordered to kill his father!

Sima fan seemed to have expected that he would have this question, and said calmly: "as I said just now, he is a man of both literature and martial arts. Now I am in the moment of employing people, how can I let go of such talents? As for the Revenge of killing his father... Ah, if he really wanted revenge, he wouldn't hide in a remote mountain village for more than ten years. To take a step back, even if he really wants revenge, he should first seek revenge from Xu Yizhi. He planned to arrest and kill Gu Zheng, but even I was calculated by Xu Yizhi. "

King Ning looked at him steadily.

Sima fan asked, "what are you doing looking at me like this?"

"Do you regret killing Gu Zheng?"

As soon as he spoke, King Ning regretted it.

Is that what he can say?!

He quickly lowered his head and said, "I said the wrong thing. Please forgive me."

Sima Yan didn't mean to be angry. He leaned back, rubbed the jade trigger with his right index finger, and remained silent for a while.

"I don't regret it."

Over the years, he asked himself more than once whether he would insist on killing Gu Zheng if time went back?

As a result, yes.

Because he is the emperor and the Lord of the world, he will not allow a person with greater power than himself to live in the world.

King Ning didn't speak any more and bowed away.

When he walked out of the Zhaoyang palace, he couldn't help looking back at the young emperor sitting on the throne. His mind suddenly remembered the scene when the emperor had just ascended the throne 15 years ago.

Because the emperor is too young to handle government affairs in person, he can only be handled by Gu Zheng, who is the head and assistant.

At that time, the emperor sat on the throne alone, just like now.

Fifteen years passed in an instant.

Everything has changed.

With the help of xiaohuangmen, King Ning slowly crossed the threshold of the hall.

When the emperor first ascended the throne, everyone thought that the emperor was just a puppet in Gu Zheng's hands. With Gu Zheng's wrist and power, as long as he said a word, he could change the throne at any time.

However, fifteen years later, the emperor is still firmly on the throne, and the man who once had power is dead.

No one expected that Gu Zheng would die in such a disgraceful way.

Ning Wang sat in the soft sedan.

In the wind and snow, the guards carried the soft sedans away gradually.

In Zhaoyang hall, Sima fan was still sitting on the throne, his index finger gently rubbed the jade wrench, and his eyes looked ahead. He didn't know what he was thinking.

After a long time, he asked softly.

"After Gu Zheng was executed by lingchi, who took away his bones?"

Xie Miao shook his head: "I don't know."

"Let someone check."

"Here."

After leaving the palace, King Ning went directly to the prison of Dali temple.

After he was born, the prisoner said politely, "please follow me, Lord."

They came to the cell where Wei Chen was held.
