Shen Zangfeng was well prepared and said in a deep voice, "I am planning to look for an opportunity to go to your mansion."
Liu He's heart suddenly rose to his throat: "What do you mean, brother Xian?"
"Your Majesty may not be able to survive!" Shen Zangfeng's words made Liu He suddenly frightened, and then he felt faintly excited: "What about us?"
"Don't forget where the army is now?" Shen Zangfeng reminded calmly.
Liu He was startled. Thinking about Southwest, he also felt that his excitement just now was a bit hot-headed: "But although the four royal cities in Southwest have been destroyed, the remnants of the four kings are still wandering around, but the news of that one's illness has been reported early. This is… ?"
Shen Zangfeng muttered: "Now that I think about it, your family's apology a few days ago was really timely..."
Liu He's face changed color, and he thought: "It turns out that that person has noticed something wrong with his body a long time ago, but he may not be sick all of a sudden. He actually came here to provoke our Liu family to make mistakes, so that he could use the leverage to kill him." !” He felt something was wrong in his heart, “He is so bullying, isn’t he afraid that there will be no one to guard the country in the north?”
"What if all the Zheng family dies first?" Shen Zangfeng asked, "Zheng Sanya was originally leading troops in the southwest, and when His Majesty returned to the capital, he was not among the people accompanying him! He was informed of the Wang family's conspiracy to murder the two young masters of your family. After hearing the news, he handed over his subordinates to his deputy and rushed back overnight! The question is, how far is it from the southwest to the imperial capital? Zheng Sanya abandoned the army and left on the way back to the capital. If Your Majesty doesn’t want him to come back, can he really dare to come back despite His Majesty’s orders?”
Liu He gasped!
"Even we know what Zheng Sanya's temper is, let alone His Majesty, who is his cousin?" Shen Zangfeng's eyes were heavy, "Even if the Zheng family is in trouble, is Zheng Sanya a reasonable person? When he returns to the imperial capital, Not only will it not help the situation, but it will easily add fuel to the fire - Your Majesty could not have foreseen this?"
"So that person deliberately allowed Zheng Sanya to come here just to... frame his illness on our Liu family without mentioning it. At the critical moment, he abandoned the Zheng family in exchange for the opportunity to attack my Liu family in a legitimate way?!" Liu He's face was ashen!
Shen Zangfeng said calmly: "Jing Guo Gong just sacrificed his life to save others. There is no extraordinary reason. How could he touch the Liu family?"
"Earlier, he had no good intentions when he named the younger brother of the Ruowo clan the Duke of Jing!" Liu He sneered. His daughter Liu Bing'er was married to Shen Shuming through Liu Xixun. Of course, he was also from Liu Xixun's faction. On the death of Liu Zhang and Liu Tong, he stood with Liu Ruowo because those two children represented the dignity of the entire Liu family. But if Liu Ruowo and Liu Xixun fought, he would stand with the latter. Side.
At this moment, he said angrily, "Shili is the leader of the clan. Before the clan leader can seal the clan members, let alone Ruowo back then... This clearly wants to provoke a fight among the clan!"
"Speaking of which, this time the Liu family was caught in the act, it was Liu Ruoye's sister Liu Ruoye's fault!" Liu He couldn't help but think about it in his mind, "If she hadn't come back shamelessly, Zheng Cuiye's death would have nothing to do with Liu Ruoye's. The family is not related, how could something happen to Liu Zhang and Liu Tong? This was Liu Ruowo's own fault. He took in his sister who should have been killed long ago, and it was retribution for his two biological sons! "
"What should I do in the future? Can you teach me, dear brother?" Liu He thought for a long time and asked.
Shen Zangfeng said sincerely: "Since Brother Shi asked me this, I can't hide it from Brother Shi: Dare I ask Brother Shi, is it possible for us nobles to replace him now?"
Liu He frowned and thought for a long time, then shook his head dejectedly: "Liu Rong has a lot of troops and is good at fighting. He is not that easy to deal with. When the southwest army returns, the Fourth Po Army has completely disrupted the previous organization. Thinking of things, how easy is it? Even if Dayong does not survive in the end, this world may not fall into our hands. "
Otherwise, why did they join Wen Yaozi
Shen Zangfeng nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with Liu He coming to contact him. The main reason was that this person was from the Liu family. Although he was not good at killing enemies in battle, he was not ignorant about military strategy, nor was he short-sighted and incompetent. People like him - so when talking to Liu He, he can understand a lot of things without having to persuade him earnestly.
"In this case, of course we have to comply with the wishes of our superiors and support the eldest prince." Shen Zangfeng said calmly, "Now that the world's vitality has not recovered, if the chaos continues, I am afraid that the Hu people will have a hand in it. By then, , Where can I keep my clothes?”
Liu He frowned and said nothing.
Shen Zangfeng knew that this was not because he was against it, but because he felt that after the eldest prince took charge of the country, he immediately promoted Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changfeng as their confidants, but what about the Liu family? The Liu family had suffered such a big loss and deserved compensation—in a word, he felt that the Liu family had been wronged.
"Duke Jingguo has just set out on his journey, right? There are still some days before we can reach the imperial capital." Shen Zangfeng chuckled and reminded, "If Duke Jingguo comes, he will be the one who lost his son, and he will be the one who rescued him..."
Liu He was suddenly shocked!
"It's strange that since the eldest prince has been in charge of the country, he has only mentioned Shen Wei and not the Liu family... Even the several times we have called the eldest prince wrong have been vague. So it turns out that he wants to continue to support Liu Ruowo?!" This person has been standing with Liu Xixun for a long time. How can Liu He on the other side say that? !
The deaths of his nephews Liu Zhang and Liu Tong were immediately put aside by him, and he began to quickly think about how to negotiate good terms with the royal family before Liu Ruowo arrived - even if Liu Xixun couldn't get a big advantage, he definitely couldn't. Let Liu Ruowo continue to expand its advantage!
Otherwise, even if Liu Ruowo steals the position of the Valve Leader without knowing it, what if Liu Xixun, the Valve Leader, exists in name only
... After seeing Liu He off, Shen Zangfeng mused: "I reminded Liu He that Liu Ruowo should not be allowed to take advantage of the opportunity to return the capital to add more chips."
Strictly speaking, the dispute over the head of the Liu family has nothing to do with Shen Zangfeng, but Liu Xixun is closer to Shen Zangfeng, and Shen Zangfeng himself likes Liu Xixun better, so there is certainly something that can deceive Liu Ruowo. Can't let it go.
Liu He moved very quickly. Perhaps Liu Xixun had given him the right to make a decision before.
A few days later, he and several members of Liu Xixun's clan entered the palace to see the eldest prince, and stayed for most of the day.
After coming out, the decree was quickly spread in the palace. The Wang family, a commoner, murdered the Liu family's legitimate son, which resulted in the death of the two sons of Duke Jing, a hero of the country. She should have been beheaded in public, but for the sake of the late Duke Lu, she was allowed to commit suicide - but All the properties of Duke Lu's mansion should be compensated to Duke Jing. If Duke Jing has any more children, he can make another son a viscount or a daughter as the county head in addition to the son of the Duke of Xi, as a sign of comfort.
Just like this, Mrs. Zhou didn't agree with anything, but Mrs. Wang could actually commit suicide decently? !
Not to mention the Donghu Liu family, even her natal Zhou family, is she the kind of family that can accept financial compensation for losing her biological flesh and blood? ! As for future rewards for her children, Mrs. Zhou also didn't pay attention to them - the status of the Liu family's direct children was nobler than the princes and princesses in the eyes of the gentry!
Besides, the promise of a mere viscount or county lord cannot be hereditary. What value can it have to the family as a whole? !
If the imperial court gave such an explanation, Mrs. Zhou would be furious to death! This is even more hateful than dragging it on forever. It is clearly burying the Liu family!
So there’s also—
This time, the news of poor physical condition was clearly announced.
The Liu and Zheng families were angry with him for his poor physical condition. Both families were responsible.
But the palace had never mentioned this before, and now it finally spoke: the Zheng family has to bear the main responsibility, who told Zheng Sanya to roar at the Golden Palace that day
God knows who wrote the edict, directly giving Zheng Sanya the poison and sending his family into exile!
"This is really too heavy!" Liu Rong immediately went to the palace to intercede with the queen and the eldest prince after seeing the edict. "General Zheng just couldn't control his temper for a moment. If your majesty were here, there would be no way he would be killed for this." ! Not to mention his family!"
Empress Qiu said coldly: "Rong'er, have you ever thought about it? Sanya can roar the Golden Palace to His Majesty. In the future, to Zhi Qi, should he catch up with Dan Chi and attack directly?!"
The queen is so indifferent, Qiu Baoniang has contributed to the brainwashing - the regicide test has been passed, and the son has returned safely. Now the last hurdle is left, that is, the son can safely become the emperor!
After finally getting to this point, what the Queen is most afraid of is falling short!
Anyway, the queen even killed her husband herself, relatives, old friends... Why can't she be ruthless? ! Now she only has her son in her eyes!
Aunt Qiu, who helped her move from a fallen queen to the throne of the Queen Mother, said that the eldest prince had been away from Wen Yaozi for many years and had almost no prestige. The nobles were accustomed to observing etiquette, and the palaces were generally deep, so the eldest prince would not cause trouble in the scene. There's no way to step down—unless they really want to fall out.
But this is not necessarily the case for the new rich, especially Zheng Sanya, who relies on his royal relatives and old relationships. He couldn't even suppress him when Wen Yazi was there. If the eldest prince was replaced, Zheng Sanya would not be able to do anything. Dare to do it? ! When the time comes for the court meeting, he will act like an elder and ask the eldest prince what to do with him
So it’s better to kill Wen Yaozi in the name of Wen Yaozi while he is still alive in name!
It not only gives an explanation to the Liu family, but also repays Liu He's previous loyalty on behalf of Liu Xixunbiao; it can also frighten the old people so that they dare not make mistakes in front of the eldest prince! At the same time, the eldest prince did not get the bad reputation of killing heroes and elders.
The Queen felt that it made sense - Qiu Baoniang's words, "Your Majesty is in charge of the house, and the Queen is rest assured about the future of the two Highnesses. It is better for the Queen to be in charge of the house herself." The Queen thought about it over and over for a long time. Now the Queen's fear of personally killing the king has gradually faded away. The various matters currently involved in supporting her son's ascension to the throne made her feel particularly fulfilled.
This change in the queen fell in Qiu Baoniang's eyes, and Qiu Baoniang was not surprised: There have always been few people who can't help but be addicted to the beauty of power...
"How is this possible?" Facing the queen's sudden cold expression, Liu Rong couldn't help but said, "General Zheng will definitely not..." Seeing the queen's unmoving expression and the eldest prince's silence, Liu Rong's heart dropped and she changed her words. "Now it is known outside that His Majesty is bedridden, the Empress stays by his side, and the eldest prince supervises the country - if this order comes down, they will definitely suspect that the empress and the eldest prince are swaying it! At least those of us in the past will also feel sad about the empress and the eldest prince. Don’t dissuade…”
Queen Qiu smiled miserably: "Don't dissuade him? If His Majesty is still here, if he has made up his mind, can we, mother and son, dissuade him? Then when Fan poisoned Zhi Qi's brother and killed Yu Lan, besides Rong'er you, , Who else has spoken for our mother and son?! Oh, what did they say at that time? The king has made up his mind - yes, the emperor has made up his mind. They couldn't speak at that time, but we must be able to speak with them now? Sad? Ha, we have been sad before! Who is sorry?"
Liu Rong listened to the queen recounting the past, and saw that the queen became more and more sad as she spoke, sobbed loudly, and did not dare to speak for a long time.
After a long time, he said: "My dear, that's not what I meant. I am worried about the eldest prince. After all, the nobles cannot fully trust. The old people who started trouble in the early years and today's new nobles will eventually have to rely on them."
"Then we have to let them figure out who is the master!" Queen Qiu straightened her back and looked down majestically, "They are the ones assisting Zhi Qi, not Zhi Qi begging them! Ronger, do you understand?!"
Liu Rong bit his lip, and flashed across his eyes were the Zheng family - all the folks from the village. The children of the Zheng family, like the princes and princesses today, were all grown up under his brother Liu's watch. Many of the children he had watched back then. Hugged and carried...
Suddenly Wen Zhiqi, who had never spoken before, said calmly: "Brother Liu, don't worry too much. The only one who will really be punished is Uncle Zheng. After I ascend the throne, isn't it a rule to grant amnesty to the world?"
... Now the person above him also calls him eldest brother, and he still calls him eldest brother - so, when both are his younger brother and younger sister, how should he choose
Liu Rong was at a loss. (To be continued)
