Volume 1 Past Events Chapter 15 Liu Cheng's Thoughts
This sentence came out of Liu Cheng's mouth and had a considerable impact on Liu Ning.
But is it possible? Impossible! Even if Liu Cheng is willing, will the forces behind Liu Cheng be willing? Will they be willing to give up the fruits of victory if they can get rid of the powerful Liu Sheng?
"Second brother, don't get excited, it's for my brother to be pedantic, this year, you have suffered. Liu Ning comforted Liu Cheng.
"Brother Huang, do you know? Although my father's health has not been good, the imperial doctor said that as long as you insist on pranayama, you can recover slowly. But I never expected that all of a sudden, my father would fall ill and die, and I didn't even see his last face. Although I have always ignored the government, I also know that the death of my father is absolutely strange, but I have no choice, I am just a prince, a prince who will only be greedy for pleasure, no one in the court is willing to help me, at that time, how much I miss the imperial brother, how much I hope that the imperial brother can come back soon, inherit the throne, and avenge my father. β
Speaking of this, Liu Cheng picked up the teapot in front of him, poured himself a cup of tea, then drank it all, and continued:
"But I didn't expect that Liu Sheng read out the edict, my father actually passed on the throne to me, let me inherit the ceremony, I am a second ancestor, how can I get this throne, I know, all this is Liu Sheng's conspiracy, he took advantage of the absence of the imperial brother, planned all this, these are all used to deal with the imperial brother. β
Liu Ning listened attentively on the side, he filled Liu Cheng's teacup with tea, poured himself a cup, picked up the teacup, put it on the tip of his nose, and smelled the faint fragrance of the tea.
Liu Cheng didn't stop and continued.
"I have no choice but to succeed to the throne, I thought that if I became the emperor, I could deal with Liu Sheng, I began to investigate the cause of my father's death, and began to contact the ministers to crusade against Liu Sheng. But I was so naΓ―ve, the imperial doctors in charge of my father either returned to their hometowns, or they kept silent, and they couldn't even collect a single piece of evidence. And those ministers, they say that they are loyal and patriotic, but behind their backs, they are in collusion with that Liu Shengxin, but it is ridiculous that I, the emperor, am completely an ornament in that court. β
Speaking of this, Liu Cheng slapped the table heavily, and most of the tea that had just been poured was spilled, and it fell to the ground drop by drop along the tabletop.
"I'm sorry for you, second brother, it's because my brother didn't think about it, and I didn't take into account that Liu Sheng was so heartbroken and dared to do such a rebellious thing. It was for my brother that he killed his father. β
Two lines of hot tears dripped down Liu Ning's cheeks.
"I know, Brother Huang, it's not your fault, the culprit of all this is Liu Sheng's house. When the news of your rebellion reached the imperial capital, I felt that the whole sky had fallen, and the two people I admired the most, one was no longer in the world, and the other had become a prisoner, and I even had to end your life with my own hands. I was really scared, scared, I didn't know what I could do, I locked myself in the dorm all day, I wanted to run away from all this, I felt like none of this was real until she showed up. β
"She?"
Liu Ning thought of the woman he met when he just came in.
"yes, it's ridiculous, I don't know what her name is. She taught me how to be a king, she told me how to achieve victory tonight, and she showed me that there is such a huge force hidden in Dacheng!"
Liu Cheng's eyes flashed, he slowly stood up, walked to the main seat and sat down. I looked out the window and looked at the fallen leaves swaying in the wind and rain.
"There is no way, I can only accept them, because today's Dacheng is like a fallen leaf in this wind and rain, blowing with the wind and rain, and I don't know where it will fall, this is not the Dacheng in my heart, not what Dacheng should be. I want to cheer up, because I am the emperor of Dacheng, and I want to let Daxiang be like this Qingbo Peak, let it blow and rain, and I will stand still. Even if my life is no longer as good as I would like it to be. β
At this point, Liu Ning fully understood, and his thoughts that he couldn't understand before were completely smooth. It turned out that he had been fighting with Liu Sheng for so long, but he completely ignored the others, and there was another force in the Dacheng Empire that was not weaker than them, even if he won this time, I am afraid that he would not be able to pick the fruits of victory, because the appearance of the woman just now was somewhat similar to that of the concubine, which showed that this force would not be used by himself and Liu Sheng, and they could only obey Liu Cheng's orders. This is terrible, and the terrible thing is that this force has endured it willingly for so long, just to be sure in the end.
Now that we have talked about the current situation, this is the end of the previous brotherly narrative. There are some things that Liu Ning has put down, such as the throne and power. But there are some things that Liu Ning still has to fight for, such as Gu Guogong, who came to rescue him tonight, and the people who have been serving him, how to arrange them in the future.
"Second brother, I understand for my brother. You see more clearly and think more clearly than you do for your brother. Over the years, my brother has fallen into a struggle for power, but I have ignored what the essence of power is, and I have failed my father's expectations for me and my second brother's expectations for me. I believe that under your leadership, Dacheng will definitely go to glory. β
After that, Liu Ning got up, walked to the middle, knelt down in front of Liu Cheng, who was sitting on the main seat, and shouted in his mouth: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
This time, Liu Cheng did not stop Liu Ning again, and accepted Liu Ning's courtesy with peace of mind, and after the ceremony was finished, Liu Cheng said lightly: "Brother Huang, please get up." β
"Now that the war is still unclear, Liu Sheng has privately dispatched the Snow Leopard Army to surround Kinmen Pass without my order, in an attempt to commit treason, and now you and my brothers are working together to get rid of this traitorous thief. β
When he heard that the Snow Leopard Army was surrounding Kinmen Pass, Liu Ning was shocked, he was taken out of Kinmen Pass by Yuan Ming, the former commander of the Longshan Battalion, before Gu Yuwei entered the pass, and then appeared here, but he didn't know anything about the war at this time.
"Your Majesty, what about Gu Guogong?" Liu Ning was worried about Gu Bin's safety, and hurriedly asked.
Liu Cheng glanced at Liu Ning, closed his eyes and said slowly: "According to the news just now, Gu Guogong's war horse has an abnormality and has died. β
Hearing the news, Liu Ning was struck by lightning, and his whole brain instantly became empty, his feet were unsteady, and he sat on the ground.
Two lines of hot tears flowed down his eyes, and Liu Ning muttered in his mouth: "Brother Yi, I hurt you, it's all my uselessness, it's all my fault, it's all my fault... β
It turned out that Liu Ning and Gu Bin not only had a relationship between monarchs and ministers, but they also became brothers with different surnames, which is quite rare in the royal family.
