After the emperor had breakfast, as usual, he and his concubine spent time together pondering singing and dancing.

In the pear garden, the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard early in the morning.

Han Shitou stood on one side, watching the dancers rehearsing, the singers practicing their voices, and the musicians tuning the piano, and couldn't help but smile.

A chamberlain said: "When we look at this scene, it feels like a painting. It's a pity that I don't know where this painting is. Han Shaojian is well-informed, does he know?"

Han Shitou shook his head slightly.

In his opinion, this place is more like a place.

A place he had been to once before.

Brothel!

Liang Jing is here.

"Your Majesty, the governor of Yunzhou is vacant, and the three provinces are arguing endlessly."

The emperor said calmly: "Who do you think is suitable?"

"I dare not talk nonsense about such matters."

The imperial concubine said nothing, but her eyes were fixed on her brother.

Liang Jing said: "Dali Temple Shaoqing, Chen Yue."

"Can!"

The emperor nodded lightly, Liang Jing glanced at the imperial concubine, gave him a confident smile, and then left.

"Your Majesty, my eldest brother is very careless in his work. I am afraid that he will recommend someone who is not a good person and will miss your Majesty's business."

"I'm not worried, so what are you worried about?"

The emperor smiled.

He needs Liang Jing to be his spokesperson and his dog, so he must give Liang Jing the opportunity to form a party for personal gain. Otherwise, how can the lonely Liang Jing fight with those people?

Han Shitou knows this very well.

The imperial concubine also knew it, but everyone was just acting.

Once the performance is done, the love is as deep as the sea.

But many times, it is easy to mess up the performance.

The chamberlain who went to ask questions came back.

"His Majesty."

The emperor's smile faded, "Have you ever regretted it?"

The chamberlain lowered his head, "Your Majesty said he has no regrets..."

"The traitor!"

The emperor casually swept the water cup off the desk and dropped it to the ground.

"Does he think I don't dare to attack him?"

The emperor's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

It reminded Han Shitou of the time when the emperor was deciding whether to kill the prince or imprison him.

In a single thought, the prince saved his life and is now living in the palace. When the emperor decides which of his sons should be promoted to the East Palace, it will be the end of the prince.

But the identity of King Wei is very special.

The emperor now has two adult sons, one is the King of Yue and the other is the King of Wei.

The King of Yue came from the Middle Palace and had a distinguished status. He was the natural candidate to take over the East Palace after the crown prince.

But everything is a double-edged sword, and the identity of the queen also brings a taboo, Yang Songcheng!

The father-in-law led a group of noble families to compete with the emperor and work for everyone's benefit, and he had a high prestige.

If the king of Yue ascends to the throne, Yang Songcheng's power as his maternal ancestor will expand.

This was something the emperor could not tolerate.

Therefore, King Wei cannot fail!

We must stay to contain the King of Yue.

But King Wei's statement was too harsh and hurt the emperor's lungs.

The emperor's face was flushed and he was breathing heavily.

Han Shitou was convinced that if King Wei were here at this moment, the emperor could strangle him alive with the strings of the guqin!

The chamberlain was frightened, "Your Majesty, the king still has something to say..."

"What else can the traitor say?" The emperor sneered: "He has been in Northern Xinjiang for several years. He has not learned anything else, but he has learned to protect himself wisely. If so, what use do I have for him?"

King Wei is a chess piece.

If this chess piece refuses to serve the emperor, then it has no value in existence.

Looking back, he said that if he didn't do it, King Wei would die of illness in the palace.

Han Shitou was happy to hear this, but thinking that his husband had to rely on King Wei to attract the emperor's attention and contain the emperor's suspicion, he whispered: "Your Majesty, father and son are connected!"

——There are a lot of people here, so we can’t go here according to our temper, otherwise if word spreads, the emperor will have a bad reputation as a murderer!

Only Han Shitou dared to say this.

And he said that the emperor would not be suspicious, but would feel that Han Shitou was considerate.

The murderous intent in the emperor's eyes faded a little.

The chamberlain regretted accepting Yu Nan's favor and spoke for Concubine Shu. He said tremblingly: "King Wei said that he would be distracted if his wife and children are here."

Han Shitou was looking at the emperor with a concerned look on his face.

The murderous intent in the emperor's eyes dissipated instantly.

This is when I need to praise you!

Han Shitou frowned, "You are a person who talks half-heartedly. You are the messenger. How can your majesty manage the affairs? Your majesty, please forgive me for overstepping my bounds. Come here!"

Two chamberlains came forward.

Han Shitou pointed at the chamberlain and said: "This man is not doing things well, take out ten sticks!"

Ten sticks, this is just a warning.

But it was not the chamberlain who said half of it, but the emperor who was about to say half of it, and the emperor became furious.

It's the emperor who didn't give us a chance to speak!

But the chamberlain did not shout, but shouted: "Your Majesty is merciful!"

It's the emperor's fault.

But the emperor never makes mistakes.

Therefore, it must be someone else's fault.

It was difficult for the emperor to speak. At this time, Han Shitou showed his value.

With a transgressive move, the emperor successfully found the steps.

The emperor's face brightened slightly and he said calmly: "That traitor is acting recklessly."

Han Shitou smiled and said: "No. Remember five years ago! The King beat the head of the chamberlain next to the Queen, and the Queen was furious. If Your Majesty hadn't protected him, I might not have been able to survive that time."

The emperor also remembered that incident and said with a smile: "The traitor is impulsive."

The atmosphere relaxed.

Han Shitou said: "Your Majesty, the king has never suffered much since he was a child. He has been under house arrest for a day, and I am worried..."

This is a temptation.

Let's see if the emperor goes down the steps or is ready to continue punishing King Wei.

"That traitor!"

The emperor said with a cold face, "Go and have a look."

The emperor seldom goes out of the opera garden recently, so there are no beauties showing off their talents on the roadside or meeting by chance.

However, the chamberlains and palace officials were caught off guard.

"His Majesty!"

Two chamberlains were fighting. When they saw the imperial chariot approaching, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"This slave is incompetent!" Han Shitou apologized.

The emperor said calmly: "You follow me all day long, why should you take responsibility for those people? Deal with it!"

"yes!"

Han Shitou took note of this matter and planned to deal with it later.

Arriving in front of the side hall of the Imperial Guard King, Han Shitou stepped forward and said, "Open the door."

The door opens.

King Wei knelt and sat inside.

Looking up, a pair of tiger eyes were filled with calmness.

"Aye."
