After the victory of the soldiers of the imperial court, a feast, the wine and the face of the joy, the soldiers have been immersed in the joy of victory, everyone, you say a word, speak freely, push the cup and change the lamp, endless joy and happiness. Everyone is planning to surrender the remnants of Huanai again, and then the return of the class teacher to the dynasty is just around the corner. The soldiers were all concerned with the foresight and resourcefulness of the King of Liang, and they were so resourceful that they were so impressed that they were so fond of it that everyone affectionately called him Zhuge Kongming in the world.

Just as everyone was celebrating this hearty victory, the court messenger arrived and presented King Liang with a letter written by the emperor himself.

When King Liang read the letter, his brows furrowed, and the letter said, "King Liang! You have led the army to fight the rebellion in the south, which can be described as a great blessing for the imperial court. Lonely day misses brother, thinks about talking with brother day by day, all the world, all the sea, nothing to talk about, that day is really too pleasant, now my brother has been on a long expedition for several months, it is a good news, Lone knows the cunning of this bandit, and the task of suppressing bandits is not an overnight thing. However, Lone really misses his brother every day, and his brother depends on the situation, whether he can go back to the court to see him, and Lone will talk to his brother to solve this feeling of missing his brotherhood. ”

When King Liang saw it, his heart was warm! That's it! I have to say that I am a compatriot, and I have to say that I am a brother! Although the emperor has every opportunity and works hard at the desk, this heart is still thinking about his brother who is on an expedition, which can be said to be a true expression of feelings. He was very moved. Why didn't he miss the Holy One, but how could it be time to go back now? This bandit was about to win victory. At this juncture, if he returns to the dynasty, if something happens to Hua Nai's side, it is likely that his efforts will be wasted, to be honest, he is not too relieved about the general Shen Yi. This person is brave and unscrupulous, and he is probably not Huanai's opponent.

Although the king of Liang had a lot of thoughts and mixed feelings, reason told him that it was not the time to go back, so he took a pen and paper, drafted a letter, handed it to the court messenger, and ordered him to give it to the emperor. The emperor took the letter and read it, but saw that it read: "Your Majesty! I went on an expedition to the south for my brother, and I was in a trance for several months, always adhering to the purpose of quelling the rebellion and suppressing bandits for the imperial court. We dare not slack off in the slightest, and now we have made a breakthrough in suppressing bandits. It is also in a critical period, at this time, if the brother returns to the dynasty, this side will be like a group of dragons without a leader, I am afraid that the evil bandit Hua Nai will change, and his previous achievements will be lost. However, as a brother, why don't you miss Your Majesty, but fortunately, the suppression of bandits and counterinsurgency is nearing the end, and our brothers will soon be able to reunite. I hope Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, everything is fine here for my brother, and the morale of the soldiers is also unprecedentedly high. On the day when the class teacher returns to the court, he will definitely have a hearty drink. ”

The emperor was stupid with this letter in his hand. What is the reason? Obviously, as Duan Zhe expected, he recruited others, but King Liang did not return.

On that day, Duan Zhe mentioned that he was afraid that King Liang had different intentions, and the emperor did not believe that his own brother had the intention of rebelling against usurping the throne.

Duan Zhe came up with a good way to get the best of both worlds, and he asked the emperor to draft a letter, the general content of which was, of course, extremely warm words, expressing his concern for King Liang, and expressing his longing for his brother, hoping that the two of them could meet each other when they returned to the court. If King Liang readily agreed and rushed back in time, it would prove that the worries of the two monarchs and ministers were superfluous, and King Liang had no disagreement at all.

If King Liang does not return, it proves that there must be something here, because it is very likely that King Liang is weak-hearted and mistakenly believes that his collusion with the bandit Kou Huanai has been discovered by the imperial court, so he is reluctant to return to the court, after all, he knows that he is likely to recruit him into the court and will capture him. Definitely won't come back.

The emperor couldn't help but feel that his hand trembled slightly, looking at King Liang's beautiful handwriting, his heart was really uncomfortable, the relationship between the two brothers was once so deep. The two barely talked about anything. I never thought that he would want to rebel and usurp the throne. It was really chilling, he never thought that King Liang had different intentions, if he was really suspicious of King Liang, he would not hand over the 400,000 counterinsurgency army to King Liang with peace of mind. So far, how can it be good?

The emperor had no choice but to summon Duan Zhe and hand over the letter from King Liang to him.

Duan Zhe took the letter, read it carefully, and shook his head helplessly, "Your Majesty! The minister is right! This King Liang really has different intentions, now you finally believe it, right?"

The emperor also nodded again and again, "Aiqing! Now that the matter is now, what should we do? You can think of a way!"

Duan Zhe pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty, only one major event can happen now, and this matter must be so big that King Liang has no reason to refuse to come back, so what is so big? It is nothing more than a matter of marriage and funeral." ”

When the emperor heard this, he nodded again and again, but he felt that what he said made sense, and he racked his brains to think about what was important. It was true that he couldn't come up with anything after thinking about it for a long time, so he looked at Duan Zhe helplessly.

Duan Zhe said thoughtfully: "As the saying goes, you are willing to give, and you can only get if you are giving." Your Majesty, I'm afraid you won't be reluctant!"

"Aiqing! Such an important matter is related to the safety of the society, but it doesn't matter if you say it's okay, what can I not give up!" the emperor said disapprovingly.

"Princess Fleur is the pearl of your palm! Duan Zhe said tentatively.

Sure enough, this mention of Princess Furong is like picking the emperor's heart, the most beloved little daughter, who is as important as her own life. The emperor lowered his face, "Aiqing, what does this have to do with Furong?"

Duan Zhe observed his words and saw that Long Yan was a little displeased, and hurriedly coaxed and persuaded: "Your Majesty is angry! Listen to me slowly! Princess Furong is the niece of King Liang, so it is reasonable, on the day of the princess's wedding, King Liang can't help but come!"

This remark confused the emperor, and he asked again and again: "The princess's wedding, and the king of Liang is here to participate?" However, he thought about it, although the princess is not very old, she has already reached the age of marriage, and it is time to recruit a concubine! It just happened to kill two birds with one stone, and on the day of the princess's wedding, he recruited King Liang into the palace and ambushed the guards to take down King Liang.

In order to fear future troubles, it is necessary to control Yuanyu as soon as possible. This usurpation and rebellion is not something that can be swayed by the kindness of a woman. He had to be put to death in order to stabilize the hearts of the king. Then the question arises again, who is the candidate for this concubine? He felt that since Duan Zhe said so, he must have a suitable candidate in his heart.

"Aiqing, do you have a suitable candidate for a colt?" the Emperor asked with great interest.

"Your Majesty! The dog Duan Ru is the same age as the princess. And full of poetry and books, know the courtesy, the appearance is also quite passable, this character is very easy-going, if the emperor does not dislike it, can he be recruited as a concubine? and married Princess Furong! I don't know what Your Majesty wants?" Duan Zhe is cheeky, this climbing needle has climbed to the emperor's head, it is really laughable, the most important thing is that he knows the importance of Princess Furong to the emperor, if his son can get married to the princess, then he, the head of the cabinet, is even more in this court, monopolizing the government, what makes him most happy is to put King Liang as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, to collapse. No one dared to oppose him again.

The emperor did not refuse, but smiled with joy. What is the reason? The emperor was too familiar with Duan Zhe's son, Duan Ru, and he had seen this child more than once! Duan Ru had been very sensible and obedient since he was a child, and he was very different from that round jade. Not only study hard, but also practice a good hand, love to read without speaking, and very understanding, delicate and white, coupled with this soft character, like a big girl.

Whenever Yuanyu is still causing trouble everywhere and doing misdeeds, Duan Ru is studying hard in the cold window? This kid is extremely talented and writes good articles. If you mention others, the emperor will not want to, but when you mention this Confucianism, the emperor is full of willingness! It is precisely for this reason that this philosopher dares to shamelessly mention this matter to the emperor, and dares to climb the high branches of others.

The emperor smiled slightly, "Aiqing, your proposal is good! These two are really a perfect match, Furong is a child that makes me spoiled! She just needs a well-read, easy-going, and good-tempered character to get along with her, and Duan Ru has all these advantages." It's a godsend!"

The two hit it off and reached a consensus that they wanted to plan the next step.

Princess Furong has been so depressed these days, she came to this Liang Mansion three times twice to find Brother Yuanyu, but she couldn't see half of his shadow, and when she met her sister-in-law Xuanya in the study, she asked her whereabouts.

Xuanya also said inexplicably: "Yuanyu has been going out early and returning late these days, and he can't see anyone at all! I don't know what he's busy with?

Fleur said aggrievedly, "Sister-in-law, I'm not looking for him too!"

In fact, where can this round jade still take care of them! But every day he is immersed in the love with the ice concubine outside the palace gate. The two of them are like glue, like no one. At first, there was some consideration, but after a long time, I got used to it.

The two are snuggling up to each other and enjoying the love that belongs to each other. Almost every day, there were endless words, and Yuanyu asked with concern: "Beauty, did the emperor Lao'er force you again?"

Concubine Bing also felt very strange when she heard this, she pondered for a moment, and said in that delicate voice like water: "Brother Yu! I have always felt very strange during this time! In the past, this emperor Lao Er went to sleep in my room every night, of course, I was extremely reluctant, but what can I do? But these days, I don't know how to do it, this Emperor Lao Er Leng has not come to my room, I have dreamed that he will put me in the cold palace!"

When Yuanyu heard this, he was stunned! "What are you talking about, has the emperor not been in your room for a while?"

"Yes, Brother Yu! I don't know why. Concubine Bing also said a little incredulously.

"Oh no! I'm going to be unlucky now!" said Yuanyu to herself.

Concubine Bing couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard this. A sense of foreboding arose.
