It had been a noisy night in the general's mansion, and Liu Hong was pacing in the living room with his hands behind his back, and he didn't stop for a night.

Seeing that he had all the things in the palace, who would have thought that the old emperor would die without warning, he originally thought that he would live for another three years and five years without a problem, but he didn't expect him to die in the concubine's bed.

Although the cause of death was concealed from the outside world, and they only claimed that they were seriously ill and died, how could they, who were high-ranking and powerful people, not know the inside story, even if the news was blocked, they could not escape the eyes they planted in the palace.

Liu Zhiruo was crying and wiping her tears, but Zhiqian had a mocking and proud face.

"I'll just say, my sister didn't have that life, if my father let my daughter run for election, maybe the saint would still be alive and well. ”

She looked at her crying sister with some schadenfreude, and she didn't seem to feel any sadness at all.

"There's nothing wrong with that, isn't there a new emperor, anyway, the concubine hasn't been officially chosen, and my sister will choose it again." I heard that the Seventh Prince is a handsome and dashing man. ”

There was a strange sparkle in her eyes.

"Shut up!"

Liu Hong glared at her angrily, the stern gaze swept over her face, Zhiqian immediately shut up in fright, although she was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to continue to talk back.

"This is not the time to cry and cry, and it is unknown whether it is a big disaster. On weekdays, I don't have much friendship with the Seven Princes. However, this saint passed the throne to the seven princes with a testament. ”

There seemed to be an unfathomable abyss in his eyes, and the glittering light seemed to carry ice blades.

"Originally, this throne was supposed to belong to the crown prince, but ......"

He shook his head and sighed, he was on the wrong side of the line in the first place. This former emperor is too cunning, knowing that the competition for the throne has always been fierce, and there will be things that kill each other between brothers.

He established the position of the crown prince early, but it was the son he seemed to love on the surface, and the eldest prince was already plotting a rebellion at this time, and sent people to probe him several times.

If you are on the wrong side at this time, I am afraid that there will be no future.

"Dad, my daughter doesn't want to enter the palace anymore, so it's okay, and she can accompany her father and mother at home in the future. ”

Liu Zhiruo wiped her tears and looked at Liu Hong with a slight smile, although she didn't know that the various forces in the DPRK and China were surging at this time, she could also see that her father was very troubled at this time.

"Well, you go and rest first. Let your mother accompany you more. ”

Liu Hong likes this daughter very much, because she knows Dali.

"Master, let's go down first, you can rest early. What's the matter, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Our Liu family has been sincere to the imperial court for generations, and we don't believe that after the Seventh Prince ascends the throne, he will not miss the old feelings. ”

Liu Pang had no bottom in her heart, seeing that her men were so embarrassed, she was even more panicked, but as a woman with such a man, she couldn't express herself even if she was afraid.

She wants to be completely unconditional, believing that her man can handle a good thing.

It's trust, it's love.

"Madame don't have to worry about it, wait for me to discuss it with Lord Yang before making a decision. ”

Yang Gang is the prime minister of the imperial court, and he has been friends with the Liu family for generations, although the two are not quite the same in terms of political opinions on weekdays, but they have never turned their faces.

When Liu Hong first arrived at the Yang family's mansion, a visitor had just left.

"Lord Liu, please. ”

After Yang Gang heard that it was Liu Hong's visit, he was about to go back to the house, but he turned around and greeted him.

He welcomed Liu Hong to his study and instructed his subordinates not to allow anyone to disturb them, and if there were visitors, they would all be blocked.

Liu Hong was very relieved in his heart, but he didn't expect that he didn't abandon him at this time.

"Lord Yang, do you know the purpose of my visit?"

Liu Hong is a military general, and he still speaks very straightforwardly, although he is also a resourceful person, but compared to those literati, he still speaks more straightforwardly.

Of course, the person he is facing now, there is no need for him to beat around the bush anymore.

Yang Gang cautiously glanced out of the window a few times, then closed the window again, he turned around and came back, and whispered,

"Forgive the little brother for being stupid, and ask Lord Liu to make it clear. ”

Because the maids were also driven out, he personally poured a cup of tea for Liu Hong, and he was very respectful.

"Haha, Lord Yang is polite, with my character, don't you really know why I'm here? When I entered the door just now, I'm afraid that the guests who went out also came for this matter. ”

When Yang Gang heard this, his face changed again and again.

It was none other than the prince's personal guard who left just now, and he came to find out for the prince.

But he has never stood in line, and when he already knows the successor to the throne at this time, if he chooses the wrong team again, it will be really smart and confused.

"Since Lord Liu has seen it, I won't hide it. I think we have to take a long-term view of this matter. One wrong step, you and I will be doomed. ”

"Of course, I know this, but I can't afford to wait like this anymore, and now that the enthronement ceremony is imminent, we must also make a decision. ”

Liu Hong is not a fool, a fool can't be a general, and he is also a brave and resourceful general.

If he hadn't had a little wisdom, he wouldn't have survived if he had just relied on luck.

"What do you mean?"

"Originally, the throne was supposed to be the crown prince, but now the first emperor suddenly left an edict to pass on the throne to the seventh prince. ”

Liu Hong naturally still hopes that the prince will turn the tables, after all, he is a celebrity in the eyes of the prince, and there is no friendship with the seventh prince.

The accession of the Seventh Prince to the throne will definitely reduce his interests, and if it really comes to that time, he might as well gamble now.

It's not that the prince has no military power in his hands, but the first emperor handed over part of the military power to the prince, and he didn't have any chance of winning by uniting foreign clans.

Liu Hong didn't understand that the crown prince had military power in his hands, and he also had it in his hands, and if he helped the prince, the throne would not be unattainable.

But once the matter is revealed, he will never recover.

This is also the reason why he came to Yang Gang, if Yang Gang can speak for him in front of the Seven Princes and find out what the Seven Princes mean to him, then he can decide whether to rebel or not.

"Lord Liu has to think about it in the long term at this time, the crown prince was indeed established by the first emperor during his lifetime, but in all dynasties, the ultimate heir to the throne still depends on the edict. It's not for nothing that the heirs to the throne have been replaced at the last minute!"

"What does Lord Liu think of the Seven Princes......?"

"Hey, since Lord Yang said so, then I'll just say it. It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's just ...... It's just that I have never had a friendship with the Seven Princes over the years, and I don't know what the Seven Princes think of me. ”

Liu Hong looked at Yang Gang with a smile, "The little girl in the family must have seen Lord Yang before, and originally wanted to enter the palace to choose a concubine, but since this kind of thing has happened, while she has not yet entered the palace, we might as well be a family of children, what do you think?"

"This ......"

Yang Gang suddenly hesitated.
