As long as Shen Chen died and the imperial envoy disappeared in Fujian, the people in the Liu family's old house would have no worries. As for bowing their heads, since they could bow their heads to Shen Chen once, couldn't they continue to bow their heads to Liu Biping
Shen Chen is a person from another family.
Liu Biping's surname is Liu after all, and they are related by blood.
They will know what to choose when the time comes.
It’s just that this choice made out of helplessness and without any alternative seems less satisfactory.
Liu Biping sneered and didn't answer. He just asked him to go out and do his work: "Don't delay the things I told you to do. Go and do them one by one. Also, send a letter to Princess Linjiang and tell her that we are in a difficult situation now. Her adopted son is really not an ordinary person. It is very difficult for us to deal with him. Ask the princess in your heart, if this adopted son turns against us and joins Chu Jingan, I wonder if she and the current prince can bear it."
The chief of the guards was surprised.
Although Liu Biping had vaguely mentioned this plan, he had never spoken it out loud.
It was only now that he realized that Liu Biping was actually planning to cooperate with Princess Linjiang to kill Shen Chen.
In his opinion, Princess Linjiang was really crazy.
He had to force out such a good adopted son who was such a great help - Shen Chen and Chu Jingwu had an unusually good relationship, and everyone knew it.
Shen Chen is particularly favored by Prince Linjiang, and he is capable. Now he is about to get engaged to Princess Shouning, who is the daughter of Prince Zheng!
Prince Zheng is now a legitimate vassal prince and has a lot of influence in front of Emperor Longqing. With him as his father-in-law, Prince Linjiang will only value Shen Chen more.
But Princess Linjiang wanted to kill such a capable helper.
This is really unheard of.
What's more strange is that it was not Liu Biping who took the initiative to contact Princess Linjiang, but Princess Linjiang who took the initiative to find someone to contact Liu Biping, wanting to cooperate with Liu Biping.
He asked Liu Biping hesitantly: "Minister, please forgive me for my lack of knowledge. Princess Linjiang's actions are tantamount to seeking her own death. Why is she doing this..."
"Women's minds are different from men's." Liu Biping curled the corners of his mouth sarcastically: "She doesn't care whether Shen Chen is capable or not, or how much help he can provide. She only remembers that it was Shen Chen who killed her son. That's enough."
He came back to his senses after that: "You don't have to worry about this, just do it."
The chief guard still felt uneasy, but Liu Biping always had his reasons for doing things, and Liu Biping's health had been getting worse recently, so he said no more, bent down and walked out.
After reminding the clerk to serve well, he went out to do his work.
Liu Biping also closed his eyes for a while under the service and advice of the clerk, but this time he did not wake up on his own, but was awakened by a loud knock on the door.
This is the Governor's Office, so the routine affairs are naturally taken care of by his subordinates. Besides, he is currently unwell and has lost his son and wife, so no one would disturb him unless it is a big deal.
He woke up immediately, wiped his face with his hand, and shouted for someone to come in.
The person who came in was a clerk, trembling all over. He didn't care about anything else and fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, as if he had no bones. His voice was erratic: "Minister! The imperial envoy brought a lot of guards outside and surrounded our governor's mansion!"
The imperial envoys besieging the mansion was no small matter. The scene was grand and the number of people was so large that the torches almost burnt the people around them, and it was as bright as day outside.
When the people under them found out, they were so scared that they thought something terrible had happened at first, but who knew it was the imperial envoy who surrounded the mansion.
Liu Biping couldn't believe it. He was usually able to hold on, but he couldn't help but show shock and confusion on his face. He shouted, "What?!"
How is this possible? !
Is Shen Chen crazy
He came to the Wei Mansion? !
But when he thought about it carefully, he felt a chill in his heart.
He could think of a quick and easy way to kill Shen Chen, so why couldn't Shen Chen think of the same method? !
He had just returned in defeat from Shen Chen and had no preparation. The garrison was now at the base and not in the city, and the Governor's Office only had some ordinary guards.
As for Shen Chen, he actually has more than 2,000 people under his command!
He sat up in shock, not caring about anything else. He quickly went through all the information in his mind and immediately ordered: "Go outside the city..."
He frowned again when he said this.
We can’t mobilize troops outside the city-----Since Shen Chen chose to surround the mansion at this time, it means he has made all the preparations and the city gates must have been controlled by him.
However, he had actually controlled the four city gates of Rongcheng... Thinking of this, Liu Biping couldn't help but feel frightened. He was really capable.
He frowned, looking at the clerk kneeling on the ground, already frightened out of his wits, and asked, "How many people are there in the palace now? How long has the chief guard been out?"
The clerk had a sad face and could hardly breathe. He looked at Liu Biping tremblingly and said, "There are only more than 200 people in the palace... The head of the personal guard went out to do something and has not returned yet..."
I'm afraid I may not be able to come back.
Liu Biping seemed to be thinking about something and asked him, "Did Shen Chen ask you to come in and report?"
After all, he was a second-rank official of the imperial court and the governor of a prefecture, which was different from Shen Chen, the imperial envoy. On what basis did Shen Chen surround his prefecture
Even if he really surrounded us today and really intended to kill us.
But, does he dare
The clerk agreed and answered quickly, "The Imperial Envoy asked me to come in and report to the Ministry. And... And, it seems that there are other officials who came with the Imperial Envoy."
The officials next to him
In Min, is there any official higher than him
Liu Biping hummed, but managed to keep his composure. He stood up and told the clerk to fetch him his official uniform. He said in a cold voice, "You don't have to be so angry. I may not die today."
The clerk was frightened by his words and turned even paler. He could not utter a word, but he forced himself to smile. Then he quickly got the official uniform for him and helped him put it on.
In just a dozen hours, he went from being the one who led the siege to being the one who was sieged. The situation changed too quickly, but Liu Biping remained calm and didn't show any fear. He calmly went to the flower hall and asked Shen Chen, "The Imperial Envoy came to the siege with such a large force. If you don't know, you might think what the Imperial Envoy is doing. I almost thought I had made a big mistake that required the Imperial Envoy to make such a big move."
