Chapter 725 Why

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" A eunuch rushed in and knelt on the ground, "The frontier is urgent! The southern border war has started! Enter the shuttle and send troops!"

Gong Yu took the urgent report and said, "Go down first."

The eunuch hurried down.

Gong Yu said to Xiao Qi'er: "What is the emperor's idea?"

Xiao Qi'er wrinkled his face: "I shouldn't have listened to the Taifu before and let a scapegoat be the murderer, but instead angered Shuo."

Gong Yu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't think about it now, it's useless to talk too much. The Taifu's strategy was originally a good idea, but now something went wrong, and so quickly, the reason is worth pondering."

"Grandpa, do you mean that someone deliberately brought the news to Shuo?" Xiao Qi'er's face changed.

Gong Yu nodded slowly.

"Who is that? Uncle Cheng Wang?"

Gong Yu pondered and said: "If it is related to King Cheng, it means that King Cheng knows who the real murderer is, or he is the real murderer, otherwise it cannot be explained."

Xiao Qi'er was a little angry, "Uncle Cheng is really trying to seek power and usurp the throne, even disregarding the people of Yueli, he even joined forces with foreign enemies!"

Gong Yu said: "King Cheng has a deep scheming mind and ruthless means, he doesn't care about some losses in order to achieve great things."

He paused for a moment: "Fortunately, the Shao family army is guarding the southern border. I think there will be no major problems, but the Shao family army can't help the capital."

Xiao Qier frowned: "I heard from my father that the Shao family army did not participate in the court struggle."

Gong Yu nodded: "That's the truth, but since the eldest princess married General Shao Qi and brought 30 Shao family troops back to Beijing to help the late emperor succeed in ascending the throne, this example seems to have been torn open, making people uncertain Get up. Especially Cheng Wang and the others must be worried that General Shao Qi will make an exception again, so they may have united with Shuo for this reason, and let them send troops to contain the Shao family army, leaving the capital isolated and helpless."

Xiao Qier frowned and remained silent, her small face was not suitable for the calmness of a six-year-old child.

Gong Yu said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. We are still in the capital, as well as Tan Li's Command History and his Dragon Scale Spirit Imperial Army. After time, the defenders stationed in various cities will have time to come to support."

Xiao Qi'er was silent for a while, then asked softly: "Grandpa, tell me, why do Uncle Cheng and the others want to be emperor so much? Being an emperor is not good at all. When my father was here, I was busy until late every day, but I wake up very early, besides reviewing official documents, I also talk to many ministers every day. I don’t even have time to accompany my mother. I look very tired every day. Why not be a prince, so I can have a lot of time to be myself favorite things."

Gong Yu was stunned, he didn't expect Xiao Qier to ask him this question at this moment, he sighed slowly, and said: "People's hearts are the most complicated, what you want may not be what others want."

"If Uncle Cheng wants the throne so much, I can give it to him..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Gong Yu yelled, forgetting his status as a courtier for the first time, scolding his junior like an elder.

He was obviously angry, and said: "Your Majesty, do you know how chilling these words are?! The late Emperor made so many arrangements just to keep you from ascending the throne. Are you worthy of the late Emperor when you say that? To stabilize your throne, at this moment Are you still imprisoned in Dali Temple by your mother?!"
