Chapter 1121 Is that right?

Palace, study.

After personally escorting Yu Yao back to her residence, Yuwen Taihao rushed over without stopping.

The Supervision Department was worthy of being Emperor Yan's eyes and ears, and had presented it to Emperor Yanling before he arrived. Therefore, when he arrived, Yuwen Tailuo already knew his intention and started laughing before he could speak.

"It's quite lively at your house today."

Without panicking, Yuwen Taihao smiled and nodded: "It's a bit lively. It seems that the emperor already knows."

"I have heard a little bit, but I can't tell you in detail. Tell me, what happened today?" Emperor Yanling smiled, with a gentle smile but sharp eyes.

Yuwen Taihao didn't dare to be careless. He thought about it for a while and then gave it in detail.

After saying this, he stood with his hands behind his back, silently waiting for the emperor's brother's decision.

Emperor Yanling did not express his position immediately. He pondered for a while before speaking softly.

"Tahao, what do you think about this?"

Yuwen Taihao was already prepared. When he heard the words, he bowed slightly and replied calmly: "This matter involves three princes and a princess. I dare not say anything nonsense. Please let the emperor make a decision."

Emperor Yanling waved his hand: "It's okay, I want to hear your opinion. That kid Li Chuyi is not stupid. Although he does things out of the ordinary, he rarely does anything meaningless. Today he clearly knows that he is in your house, and the other party is a He is a prince, but he still kills without mercy. The reason is just that Xuanyi hurt one of his subordinates. I don't believe the reason is so simple. "

Emperor Yanling's eyes were blazing, and Yuwen Taihao couldn't avoid it and had to speak.

"Since the emperor wants to hear it, then the minister will be bold. The emperor thinks that Li Chuyi's reason for killing the ninth prince is not sufficient, but the minister thinks that this is exactly where the root of the problem lies. The emperor may not know something, Li Chuyi The people around Chu Yi are not his subordinates as you think. As far as I know, they are good friends and partners who have lived together and died together. They have a life-long friendship. The same goes for the monsters and cultivators around me. The relationship between them is not as simple as master and slave."

"Brother Imperial Brother should understand Li Chuyi's character. He is ruthless to his enemies and extremely good to the people around him. He can be said to value love and righteousness. So it is not unexpected that Li Chuyi will kill the Ninth Prince today, even in my brother's opinion. This is natural. The Ninth Prince offended his close friends and almost hurt their lives. It was strange that Li Chuyi was not angry. The death of the Ninth Prince was the only way to resolve it, and it was also his response to his friends. The best explanation.”

"As for the tacit understanding and scruples that ordinary people care about, how can Li Chuyi care? Not to mention that he still doesn't regard himself as a Dayan person, nor does he regard himself as the eldest prince, even if he does, But firstly, he had Master Mu Tianshi supporting him, and secondly, he had the royal brother's special favor, which forced him to run outside Dayan. No matter the Taixu Palace in the west, the Baji Alliance in the north, or even the Ten All the monsters in Wanda Mountain will support him, so how can he be afraid?"

"So, you also think that this is a kind of temptation, that he is testing my mind?" Emperor Yanling looked at Yuwen Taihao steadily.

Looking at each other for a moment, Yuwen Taihao lowered his eyes slightly: "I don't know, brother."

"Is it 'I don't know' again?"

Emperor Yanling seemed to be talking to himself, Yuwen Taihao lowered his head and lowered his hands, not daring to continue, and the study fell into silence.

After a long time, Emperor Yanling flipped through the albums on the table and asked casually, "What about Lao Jiu? What do you think of his affairs?"

After a pause, Yuwen Taihao said in a deep voice: "The death of the ninth prince is indeed sad, but from my point of view, he actually brought it upon himself. My brother did not think that his methods were wrong. The temptations and secret fights between the princes It has been the norm since ancient times. There is nothing wrong with what the Ninth Prince did. His mistake was that he got the wrong person. It was true that Li Chuyi was the eldest prince, but in his eyes, Li Chuyi was just the eldest prince, among the princes. A member of the family must follow the rules and tacit understanding between them since ancient times, but he did not know that Li Chuyi was not a prince in the ordinary sense. His background and experience determined that he would not follow those inherent rules like normal people. He is like a savage beast covered in thorns. Unless you can suppress him, you will only get yourself bloody if you test him."

"And the Ninth Prince is not clear about this, or he never thought of making it too clear. His thinking is too rigid and rigid, which makes him self-righteous and transform Li Chuyi into the same person as all the princes and princesses. . In fact, he died in his own hands. As far as I know, a lot of information about Li Chuyi is not difficult to obtain today. As long as he pays more attention, thinks a little more, and studies Li Chuyi seriously. For Chu Yi, today’s outcome will definitely be different.”

After saying that, Yuwen Taihao lowered his hands and stood silently.

Emperor Yanling looked at him playfully: "Are you interceding for Li Chuyi?"

Yuwen Taihao denied: "No, I just said some of my own opinions."

"Then how do you think this matter should be handled?"

"My dear brother, I dare not make false claims. Please ask your royal brother to make a decision."

"What if I must ask you to tell me?"

"this......"

Gritting his teeth, Yuwen Taihao said: "I think that since the palms and backs of my hands are all flesh, I can just hit fifty big boards each."

Emperor Yanling sneered: "That's easy to say. The old nine are dead. What's the difference between hitting each other with fifty big blows and being innocent? Besides, you also know that child's temper. I can't hit him with my blow or two." Say it!”

Yuwen Taihao was silent and did not dare to continue.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Yanling suddenly asked: "Have you met the man in your house after today?"

With a slight shock in his heart, Yuwen Taihao's expression remained unchanged and he respectfully said without hesitation: "Brother Huang, no."

Emperor Yanling didn't believe it and looked at him meaningfully: "He came all the way to Dayan, nominally to seek an explanation from me for his mother. In fact, we all know very well that he came here just for the person in your house." Yes. He must have heard the news when he went to your house today. With his character, he will never give up until he sees someone. Can you stop him? "

Without waiting for Yuwen Taihao to argue, Emperor Yanling continued: "The reason why I said there was something behind Lao Jiu's death is because of this. Why do I feel that he saw the person in your house, and you had an idea, Through that person who made a deal with him, the purpose is the person in the Supervision Department. You want to ask Li Chuyi to come forward and plead for mercy on the condition of your old lover, and let me beg for that kid's life, because you know very well. I attach great importance to that child, and I know that I will most likely be unable to refuse his request, so you used this to set up a trap. But you and he are not at ease, and you don't know whether I have true feelings for him or not, so you did it. Use Lao Jiu to test me. If I commit a serious crime against him, it will definitely be impossible for the Hai family boy. But if I forgive him, not even the death of a prince can shake my mind. Why can't the boy's life be saved? Emperor brother, I wonder if I am right?"

The more Yuwen Taihao listened, the more horrified he became. If he hadn't understood something, he would have thought that the monk had leaked the information to Yuwen Tailuo.

Fortunately, his practice of lurking in Taixu Palace for so many years was not in vain. No matter how horrified he was, his face showed no expression at all. After hearing this, he knelt down in fear and kowtowed with endless grievance.

"Brother, I don't have any!"

Looking at Yuwen Taihao calmly, Emperor Yanling smiled after a long time.

"Get up, I'm just teasing you, I'll scare you."

Yuwen Taihao didn't dare to get up, but he banged his head on the ground again.

"Brother Huang Mingjian, I really don't have any!"

"I know, I know, you are such a serious person, you can't stand a little joke."

He stood up and stepped forward to help him up with his own hands, and even helped him smooth his clothes considerately. Emperor Yanling smiled slightly.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether he has it or not. What matters is whether Li Chuyi is willing to return to our clan. Whether it's Hai Wufeng or Xuanyi, these are not as important as this matter. As long as he can come back, it will be my What’s the point of killing all the princes and daughters? There is only one emperor in Dayan, and the remaining ones are a disaster, so it’s better to deal with them early.”

These words chilled Yuwen Taihao to the extreme. He couldn't help but think of many old events, and he lowered his head silently and did not dare to say anything.

Seeing him like this, Emperor Yanling laughed and patted him.

"Don't think too much, I'm talking about others. You are my biological brother, and you are helping me wholeheartedly, even risking your life and committing yourself to the enemy's camp. No one I kill will kill you. Look at King Rong, the same He is devoted to me, why have I ever touched him? Emperor brother, rest assured."

That’s what he said, but how could Yuwen Taihao believe it?

King Rong was not dead, but he had already entered the deep mountains and forests. He himself had only narrowly escaped death before escaping back. Is this still too much to think about?

Not daring to show his feelings, Yuwen Taihao nodded vigorously and said with tears of gratitude: "Brother Huang is considerate, and I naturally know that I don't think too much about it. Brother Huang, please rest assured!"

"That's good. Although you and I are monarchs and ministers, we must not neglect our brotherhood. I still often think of you and me when we were young. At that time, my father and mother were still there, and you and I didn't have so many customs. I am really carefree and happy when I think about it. Haha, Emperor brother, do you think I am getting old? "

"Of course, my brother is not old. This is just a little melancholy after the vicissitudes of life. It seems that my brother is tired due to too many secular affairs these days. I would also like to ask my brother to take care of himself!"

Looking at the sincere Yuwen Taihao, Emperor Yanling smiled and tapped him: "You, you, you are the best at talking."

After saying this, he turned around and sat back at the desk. Emperor Yanling's expression suddenly straightened, solemn and majestic.

"According to my decree, the ninth prince Yuwen Xuanyi rebelled and tried to assassinate the eldest prince Li Chuyi, but fortunately he failed. According to Dayan law, princes and princesses are not allowed to kill each other. Those who disobey shall be punished with serious crimes. If the circumstances are serious, they shall be punished As a capital punishment, Yuwen Xuanyi should be deprived of his titles and fiefs, and his residence and property should be confiscated to the national treasury. He should be punished with a penalty of death. After his death, he should not be buried in the altar of the Holy Ancestor, and his son Yuwen Xuan should not be buried with royal rites. Since Yi is dead, I also cherish the past family ties, so I am extraordinarily gracious and allow him to be buried with royal rites, and the rest will still be carried out according to the law!"

"My brother obeys the order!"

Yuwen Taihao knelt down to receive the order.

Signaling Yuwen Taihao to stand up, Emperor Yanling said apologetically: "Brother, I'm going to wrong you this time. I'll leave this matter to you personally. I don't worry about the others."

Yuwen Taihao responded: "Brother Emperor has defeated my younger brother. It is my blessing to be able to share my worries with my brother. How can I feel wronged? Brother Emperor, don't worry. I will go and do it now. I will come back after understanding it." Report to you!”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out. When he was approaching the door, he was stopped by Emperor Yanling again.

"Tahao, take all your things back to the palace and send some to Chu Yi. It's best if you go in person and tell him clearly that I really miss him."

"Brother, don't worry, I understand."

After saying goodbye, Yuwen Taihao turned around and left the study.
