The old man who entered the palace at night was Yang Shiqi, a veteran of three dynasties under one person and over ten thousand people.


    At this time, I watched myself grow up. The emperor, who was only in his forties, was as white haired as his old self.


    He made a simple salute to the emperor. Before he bent down, the emperor shouted to him and asked him to be excused and sit down.


    Yang Shiqi nodded to the emperor, and then nodded to an old white eunuch standing on the emperor''s side. The old Eunuch in white nodded back.


    The old eunuch was somewhat similar to eunuch Chen who had been killed in the hall of Baohe, but his face had more wrinkles and seemed to be similar to his age.


    But Yang Shiqi knows that the old eunuch is also called eunuch Chen, or he is the real eunuch Chen. He is only ten years older than the emperor, and he can still be his father.


    He is one of the four martial arts in the town, tiancuo, which is said to protect the center.


    Tiancuo has also defended the palace for two dynasties. Yang Shiqi is one of the few people who know his identity. Even a few years ago, the emperor asked tiancuo to retire and live in retirement. He helped nameless secretly cultivate fake eunuchs Chen.


    Therefore, even if the thieves found out that tiancuo was the head of eunuch Chen at the Baohe hall and made a drug sneak attack to kill eunuch Chen, Yang Shiqi was not at all alarmed. Because he knew that the real tiancuo had long retired and lived in seclusion somewhere in the palace. These peerless experts were very sensitive to the feelings of the outside world. As long as he found something wrong, he would come to solve the danger of the palace.


    As a result, the unwitting officials of the Baohe hall later praised him for his calm in the face of danger and his color remained unchanged... Well, his calmness was only because he knew some inside stories, otherwise he scolded more fiercely than them. I know I can get rid of the siege when I get to tiancuo. It''s not cost-effective to yell there in case I annoy the other party and get stabbed?


    I just didn''t expect that I haven''t seen it in a few years. Tiancuo is suddenly so old. He heard from the emperor that tiancuo''s martial arts were overdrawn and his body was getting worse day by day, so he ordered him to retire and cultivate himself. This time, it is true.


    Nevertheless, as long as tiancuo stands here, Yang Shiqi has an unspeakable sense of peace of mind.


    Yang Shiqi came to the table in the hall and sat down next to the emperor. The emperor turned back and waved his hand to sign tiancuo to sit down.


    Tiancuo looked at Yang Shiqi. Yang Shiqi''s eyes were dim, but he nodded slightly. So tiancuo sighed and sat on the other side of the emperor. The emperor is physically and mentally exhausted recently. It''s only right to follow his wishes.


    "It''s been hard these days for the prime minister to preside over the overall situation."


    "It''s not worth mentioning what''s inside." Yang Shiqi said modestly.


    The emperor looked at his left and right hands and couldn''t help sighing: "at present, the national disaster still depends on two Aiqing who should enjoy the peace and happiness. Is my strength at the end of my life... The important officials of the imperial court who have been trained and relied on for many years say betrayal and betray, who can I trust?"


    "Emperor, this rebellion is just a few clowns who don''t know how to live or die. I only blame the old minister for his slow response, otherwise the danger of the imperial city should be solved early. The vast majority of ministers in the court were unwilling to surrender to the Yin power of the thieves that day. They are also the pillars of the country, which is enough to prove that the emperor''s territory is still stable!" tiancuo hurriedly said.


    Originally, eunuchs in charge of internal affairs could not discuss politics, but tiancuo also had a general position of four martial arts in the country, which was unusual. In the past, the emperor asked him about the level of warriors in the world and how to manage the Jianghu.


    The emperor shook his head, knowing that this was tiancuo''s consolation, but it was too much.


    This is the core strength of their imperial court.


    Everyone thought they had defeated the chaotic party, but did they win? After this battle, the vitality of Sansi Gongmen was greatly damaged, especially the shadow capital mansion. All the dark guards who had been cultivated in the imperial court for many years were wiped out. Du Ming is in charge of many secrets. Other dark guards arranged outside are also in danger of being exposed. As long as the other party has the intention, he can solve all the dark guards outside the movie capital at any time, leaving the movie capital with only a false name.


    Besides, the death of the prince... Is it a victory? The prince was killed by the chaotic party himself. It is clear that he was used by people with intentions. Did he defeat the chaotic party when he died?


    No, their Li family, no matter what the outcome, are the biggest losers in this chaotic war.


    "Cough..." the emperor coughed suddenly.


    It''s not intense, but it sounds weak.


    "Emperor, since you saw Li Tianhan''s body, you haven''t eaten much for more than a week. You can''t sustain yourself like this." tiancuo sighed and advised. He got up and brought a bowl of Shanzhen miscellaneous brocade hot porridge prepared early and put it in front of the emperor. "Have a little."


    Now the crown prince is a sinner of rebellion. He must deprive the crown prince of his name. Tiancuo has a high status and does not hesitate to call him by his name.


    "I''m not hungry, I have no appetite." the emperor pushed away the hot porridge slightly. The aroma of the food even made him want to vomit. How can he eat it.


    These days, the Emperor didn''t fall down because of the tonic Decoction prescribed by the imperial doctor.


    "What disease is the emperor suffering from?" Yang Shiqi asked with a frown.


    He only heard the emperor say that he was uncomfortable and didn''t go to court, but he didn''t expect to eat and drink much for more than a week.


    "No external diseases were found..." tiancuo looked at Yang Shiqi and replied.


    Yang Shiqi, an old man who was about to become a master, immediately understood what he meant. It was a heart disease.


    He can understand.


    The emperor has only two sons. The first to lose Li Jianbi has suffered a great blow. Later, he focused all his attention on Li Tianhan. But Li Tianhan rebelled directly on the day of great joy and later died in the hands of thieves. This is a fatal blow to the emperor.


    The greatest sorrow in life is the loss of a father in youth, a wife in middle age and a son in old age. The emperor had a painful experience in the last two months. Moreover, the loss of his son in his later years is the most tragic... He also experienced the loss of his son twice in a row, which is not a blow that ordinary people can bear.


    "It''s all my fault. I deserve to die!" Yang Shiqi stood up and knelt down to the emperor with a trembling old body. "If the old minister hadn''t suggested that the emperor should seize the time to let the prince open branches and leaves and introduce himself as a matchmaker for the prince, it wouldn''t have happened!"


    "How could it be the prime minister''s fault! Cough... Please get up! Cough..."


    The emperor wanted to help Yang Shiqi, but his hands and feet were weak and his whole body was weak.


    Seeing this, tiancuo hurriedly came and helped them up. They were frightened into a cold sweat on their forehead. They were old and sick. Can you stop bothering him!


    "Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough


    "It''s not the emperor''s fault. It''s obviously the enemy Party''s painstaking planning, which tempted the two princes to go on the road of no return." tiancuo knew that the root of the emperor''s heart disease was self blame, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "the prime minister is anxious to see the emperor at night. Why?"


    "Recently, after hearing that the prince was killed in the rebellion, King Liuqin brought people to Nanjing and said that it was too late to rescue, but it could be mended after the sheep were lost, so as to help the emperor control the world." Yang Shiqi came tonight to report this matter.


    He is subordinate to one person and above ten thousand people in the court. He has a high status and hundreds of ministers are willing to obey him. However, the Liuqin king was not only separated from the establishment of the imperial court, but also the division of the feudal land appointed by the former Emperor. He was in a leading position. He really wouldn''t obey Yang Shiqi.


    King Liuqin gave him the title of king in order to protect the imperial capital. When something went wrong in the Imperial City, they came boldly, and he couldn''t control it.


    But you can''t control it, you must control it, because


    "This is... Running for my successor, each with his own small abacus... Bullying my successor..." the emperor smiled bitterly, and the tears finally flowed down, his face was more haggard and pale, and his lips were like white paper.


    Oh, why did you change the subject or go to the funeral! Tiancuo really has a headache. He can''t cure his heart disease with a martial artist!


    Seeing that the emperor understood this, Yang Shiqi didn''t have to spend much time. His prime minister couldn''t order Liuqin king, so he had to take the emperor''s horse. Otherwise, King Liuqin gradually intensified and began to interfere in the internal affairs of the court, resulting in disputes. It would be difficult to drive them back to the fiefdom in the future.


    The emperor sighed. He understood the truth, but even if he had that heart now, he didn''t have that strength... When King Liuqin saw him, he felt that the rivers and mountains were floating. Maybe he would fall on someone with crazy ambition?


    "The emperor is the only one who wants to deal with internal and external troubles. He can only ask the emperor to adjust his body quickly these days and frighten the inside and outside with his excellent appearance, so as to calm the chaos."


    Yang Shiqi''s topic went deep and shallow, so that the emperor could adjust his body and tiancuo couldn''t help applauding. Or are these scholars skilled in speaking and can give full play to China''s broad and profound written culture!


    The emperor smiled miserably. If he could, how could he deliberately sink... It''s really a lack of mind. He doesn''t want to see anyone hiding in the bedroom recently. When I fall asleep, I always dream back to my second son when he was young. When I wake up, I always remember my second son''s tragic death. I lose my soul every day and night... How can I swallow things and keep a good body?


    "I''m... Really tired..."


    "Tell the emperor!! an old man appeared in the garden outside somehow and called himself ''old man of heaven''s secrets''!" the eunuch who led the way just now said loudly outside the door, a little worried.


    Recently, there was a disturbance. Suddenly, people who didn''t know their origin mixed in. Of course, they were flustered.


    "Secret old man?!"


    The emperor had the biggest reaction to the name today. His hands crushed his fists and kept shaking on the table. He couldn''t control his emotions. His face was filled with grief and anger, which was unspeakably complex.


    "Emperor... Emperor, I''ll ask him to leave!" tiancuo was afraid that the emperor''s current physical state could not support the strong mood fluctuation, so he quickly got up again.


    "No, announce him to come in! No, ask him to come in!! will I still not believe what he said to me!"
