Tyrant is like a thorn in the back...

However, he was completely oblivious to it.

He passed through hundreds of pairs of eyes that were as sharp as wolves'.

He arrived at the last cell in the Sky Prison.

This was a prison where the Old Master Zhuo was held in isolation.

In the entire Zhuo Palace, only one person, Old Master Zhuo, had not been forced to change into prison clothes.

"Your Majesty." This old official has been waiting for you for a long time. "

Seeing the arrival of Tyrant, Old Master Zhuo did not seem to be surprised at all.

Tyrant said: "Did you know I was coming?"

Old Master Zhuo said, "Isn't the Emperor here?"

Tyrant said: "But how do you know?"

Old Master Zhuo said: "This old official has a strange feeling, it seems like the emperor did not want to exterminate the entire Duke Zhuo Palace, but wanted to protect the mansion, so he grabbed all of us by himself! This is a very strange and ridiculous feeling, this old official doesn't have any clue at all. However, since I have a question in my heart, this old official believes that one day, the Emperor will personally come to the Sky Prison to answer this old subject's question. "

Tyrant said coldly: "Master's foresight is like that of a god! We have indeed come! "

The Old Master Zhuo said, "Since Your Majesty has come, this old subject should be able to resolve the doubts in his heart today!"

Tyrant said: "Actually, I came here today to have a heart-to-heart talk with the old man."

Old Master Zhuo asked: What do we talk about?

Tyrant said: "Old Master Zhuo, you are an esteemed and respected elder of the three dynasties. You have done a great service to the River and Mountain Country. I'm not stupid. The Residence of Zhuo and the honored tutor are pillars of the kingdom, my right and left hand men. I have absolutely no reason to break my own arm. "

The Old Master Zhuo said, "So it turns out that Your Majesty still trusted the Residence of Zhuo. This old official thinks that the Emperor truly believes that our Zhuo Family is conspiring against us, and wants to eradicate the Residence of Zhuo? "

Tyrant said: "No! The old man was overthinking it! The Duke Zhuo Palace had supported them for hundreds of years, and had produced many talents. Zhuo Tianhang, who had been there for more than a hundred years, had even made great contributions, both ancient and modern. Today, there was the illustrious old man whose authority shook the world, and the Duke Zhuo Palace was even more so, loyal and loyal, outstanding in terms of their achievements against the imperial government. If I want to destroy the Residence of Zhuo, then wouldn't I be an unconscious monarch? "

"So that's how it is."

Old Master Zhuo let out a light breath.

He finally confirmed the doubt in his heart.

Emperor...

As expected, he was not a fainting monarch.

At the very least, he wasn't so infatuated as to kill his loyal subjects.

The Old Master Zhuo finally knew that the Emperor had a reason for locking up the Residence of Zhuo.

But for this reason, he couldn't understand no matter how hard he tried.

"Your Majesty." This old official was at a loss. Why did the emperor lock Prince Zhuo's estate in the prison? The destruction of the Prince Zhuo's estate in one night was absolutely not a good thing for the emperor! "I dare to guarantee with my head that the Zhuo Family will never rebel."

The Old Master Zhuo went straight to the point.

"I understand. I can see clearly who is loyal to me. "If the House of the Zhuo had even the slightest intention of conspiring, this small Sky Prison would not be able to trap hundreds of experts in the house."

"Your majesty, please forgive this old subject's boldness. What exactly is Your Majesty thinking?" Old Master Zhuo asked curiously.

"I have not destroyed the influence of the King Zhuo's Mansion. Prince Zhuo's Mansion's army, military power, personal guards … "We will keep everything for you, the Residence of Zhuo!"

"Keep it?"

"Yes!" After a year, maybe not a year, maybe nine months, maybe eight months... When that time comes, the House of the Zhuo will be able to stand up and continue to lead the world to create more glory! "

"Your majesty means …?"

"I want the Zhuo Family to stay in the Sky Prison for eight or nine months!" "Old master, I'm afraid you'll have to put in a lot of effort with the warriors of the Residence of Zhuo!"

"If Your Majesty has other intentions, this old subject does not feel wronged. However, this old subject does not understand why Your Majesty is doing so."

"I have spoken. Today, we have come to talk heart to heart with Old Master Zhuo. Actually, ever since I ascended the throne, the old tutor has been behind the scenes, rarely entering or leaving the temple. There's really very little chance for communication between us! But, I will never forget the old gramps' magnanimity and his meritorious service to the imperial court. "

"This old subject knows of Your Majesty's great talents, it's also my old self's consolation."

"I actually really want to tell the lordmaster something!" We have always wanted to thank and apologize to the old tutor when he escorted us to the black rose! If it wasn't for this, the old tutor wouldn't have been injured. "

"Your Majesty, don't worry. That tiny bit of internal injury is not enough to hurt my old bones. "

"The old gramps' skills are profound, and his body is strong. This is the fortune of the people at dawn."

"Your Majesty is too kind. I'm just an old man on the verge of falling into the depths of the earth. "

"No!"

"Your Majesty …"

"Lordmaster, please listen to me finish." This is the first chance for us, the king's officials, to have such a heartfelt exchange. This may be the last! Therefore, please listen to me seriously, old tutor. "

"Alright. This old official is all ears. "

The Old Master Zhuo slightly nodded his head, listening attentively.

Without hesitation, Tyrant went straight to the point: "Old man. The meritorious service you and the entire Zhuo Mansion have done to the capital.

No one in the world could replace him! "One day, the House of Zhuo will play a more supportive role!"

The Old Master Zhuo said: "The Emperor is at the prime of his life right now, and has eliminated the forces of the Domoto's family. When the power of the imperial government is at its most stable, the Emperor will definitely have great accomplishments in the future.

Tyrant said: "Old master please wait patiently, in a few months, everyone in Zhuo's manor will be released unconditionally. All the power, status, and military power of the Residence of Zhuo will return. Prince Zhuo's Mansion will only become more prosperous than before! "

Old Master Zhuo shook his head and said, "Your majesty! This old official really doesn't understand what the emperor means … Your Majesty has spoken for so long. Perhaps this old subject is truly old and doesn't understand a single word! "

Tyrant said: "Old Master, you probably know that Fei Yan is pregnant?"

Old Master Zhuo said, "Ever since we entered the Sky Prison, this old subject has not had the chance to meet the Xiao Jiu. But this old subject believes that the emperor will definitely take good care of the mother and son pair."

Tyrant said: "Rest assured old master! We will definitely treat Fei Yan and the child in her womb well. "Because …"

He paused, his face becoming grave and pale.

There seemed to be an aura that could never be condensed in his eyes …

"Because of what?"

Old Master Zhuo asked curiously.

Tyrant said: "Because... The child in Fei Yan's womb would inherit the throne after birth and become the youngest emperor in the history of the Tian Song Dynasty! This... It was a huge secret! Old Master Zhuo, you must keep this a secret! "

Old Master Zhuo was extremely shocked when he heard it, "Your majesty? You... Do you mean that the child was born to inherit the throne? "

Tyrant nodded.

Old Master Zhuo said in shock, "Your Majesty … But, Your Majesty, you are at the prime of your life …? "

"Mighty years?"

"Yes!" The Emperor is only slightly over twenty years old. Could it be that he wants to give the throne to a child? "

"The old tutor doesn't care why. In short, I hope the old tutor can lead the Residence of Zhuo to properly support the new emperor and usher in a peaceful and prosperous life!" After all, the little prince in Fei Yan's stomach is also of the Zhuo Family. "

"This old official understands."

Old Master Zhuo nodded.

"So it turns out that the Emperor was in a hurry to destroy the Prime Minister's Estate, and that the purpose of stabilizing the Emperor's authority was to pave the way for the little prince to ascend to the throne!"

"Yes." The Prime Minister's estate has always been ambitious, not even I have taken it seriously. If one day the throne is handed over to the newborn little prince, the Prime Minister's estate will definitely monopolize it and plot a rebellion. I absolutely cannot allow my son to become a puppet emperor, or even be killed right after he ascended the throne! "

"Your majesty has put in a lot of effort and effort. This old subject admires you."

"I want to give my son a peaceful and prosperous river and mountain! I want the whole world to submit to him and become a king of the world! He will take my place and create a peaceful and prosperous world, if there are things that I am unable to accomplish! "

"Your Majesty …"

"Old man!" Can this wish of mine be fulfilled? It's all on your Zhuo's Mansion! The future emperor was also of the Zhuo Family. As a relative of the emperor, the Residence of Zhuo had always been respected as well. With the support of the Prince Zhuo, the young prince's River Mountain would be as stable as Mt. Tai! "That's why we have to destroy the Prime Minister's Residence and conserve the Prince Zhuo's strength!"

"So the Emperor really did it to protect the Zhuo Family? "But, why did the emperor …"

"The lordmaster would like to ask, why did I use such extreme methods to protect the Residence of Zhuo?"

"Yes."

"Lordmaster, my master's secret is involved in this! I can't tell you too much! In short, the Residence of Zhuo is staying in the heavenly prison. We will release you in a few months to restore its reputation and status! "When the new king ascends the throne, the House of Zhuo will be the greatest support!"

Tyrant's eyes were shining brightly as if he could see his son ascend to the throne when he was born and receive the worship of tens of thousands of people!

Old Master Zhuo still had the most important question in his heart, "Your Majesty. You are still in your prime, why are you … You need to be anxious to get the throne to the young prince? "

"This …"

Tyrant hesitated for a while and said, "To be honest, I only have one year to live!"

Old Master Zhuo was surprised. Looking at Tyrant's face, he could see a trace of pale alienation in the cold chill.

"The emperor's complexion …"

The Old Master Zhuo was extremely curious and asked, "Your Majesty, could it be that there is a problem with your demonic technique?"

Tyrant nodded: "Old master's eyes are sharp indeed! "I can hide it from the world but I can't hide it from the old man's Fiery Eyes of Truth!"

Old Master Zhuo said: "So you're saying, this old subject guessed right?"

Tyrant nodded again.

The Old Master Zhuo asked, "Is there a problem with the Emperor's devil arts?"

Tyrant said: "It's a very serious problem!"

The Old Master Zhuo said, "Your majesty, why don't you tell us what you have to say? Of course, if the Emperor trusts this old official. "

Old Master Zhuo's intention was very clear.

Emperor, there is a problem with your demonic arts.

I am an old man, and although I am old, I am still the best swordsman in the world.

If you believe our Zhuo Family's words, tell us your problem.

Analyze...

Maybe this old man here can help you solve your problem.

Tyrant smiled bitterly and said: "I appreciate your kindness! I absolutely trust the lordmaster, but no one can help me with my problems! Even my master... There was nothing he could do! "Believe me, I have no other intentions. Lordmaster, I can never imagine my current situation."

Old Master Zhuo asked curiously, "Master? Your Majesty, just who is your master? This old official has never heard of such a mysterious expert existing in the martial arts world. "

Tyrant said: "Old man, there is no need to doubt! My master has never been a martial artist! The old tutor had absolutely never heard of him! But... Let's not talk about this anymore! In short, no one can help me with my problems! I only hope that the lordmaster can promise me one thing! "
