Liu Chen ate two bowls of rice balls, felt hot all over, put down the empty bowl, took the handkerchief handed over by the palace maid and wiped his mouth, and listened to the mother next to him, "I know that you have always disliked your uncle's family, and I also know that some of their behaviors are really out of line, but after all, he is your uncle, and he still has tendons when he breaks bones, and when your foundation is not stable, he doesn't help you less......"

Liu Chen's hand holding the handkerchief stopped in mid-air, as if the tangyuan stalk he ate was in his throat, he couldn't swallow it, he was suffocated for a while, and his stomach was churning, he took a sharp breath to suppress the overwhelming bitterness, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

They helped him, but their help was not to make the Liu family's world sit more firmly in the world, what they wanted was just a puppet, an emperor who was at their mercy and let them be in charge alone.

Liu Chen threw the veil to the palace maid and said lightly, "These sons have remembered it, and they haven't forgotten." ”

The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "Then how did I hear that you are going to move them." ”

Liu Chen picked up the cup, "Is it your uncle who told you?" ”

The Queen Mother said, "Who do you care who sues me, you give me a word today, is there such a thing?" Are you going to raid your house, or are you going to raid all over the house? I'm this age, I don't have a few years to live, in this world, except for you, there are only their relatives, do you think I might as well die for the rest of my life? Or are you going to kill me all over the house? ”

Liu Chen said, "Mother has forgotten that since you got married, you have not been a member of the Deng family." ”

The Queen Mother's face was pale, her chest rose and fell, and she stared at him for a long time before she said, "So, you have made up your mind to move them?" ”

Liu Chen did not answer positively, "The family has family rules, the country has national laws, what should I do, I have the law of Darong to deal with it, if they are not guilty, no one can touch them." ”

The Queen Mother stood up suddenly, "What does it mean that there is no guilt?" The mourning family's family is greedy for some land and property, and it is not a matter of heaven to scrape some oil and water, the world is all yours, they are just greedy for some selfish desires, you can't tolerate them like this. ”

The corners of Liu Chen's mouth twitched, "Selfish desires? Their selfish desires are the world of my Liu family, does my mother also want to say that it is not a big deal? Do you want your son to give it away? ”

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head, "No, they have always been loyal to the Liu family, they will not have two hearts, they are not so bold, they are just greedy for some small fortune, as long as you promise to let them go and not be held accountable, I will warn them and let them keep to themselves from now on." ”

Liu Chen closed her eyes in pain, she didn't believe in her son, she chose to believe in her mother's family, what else could he say, if it was about blood relationship, he was her closest person, why couldn't she believe him, why?

The Queen Mother saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time, and her face was even more ugly, "You don't agree?" ”

Liu Chen said weakly, "Although the son is the emperor, there are some things that the son does not have the final say, the law of Darong, the ancestral training of the Liu family, this and that, isn't the son also to be strict and cautious?" ”

"Okay." The Queen Mother slammed the table, "I begged you like this, you are indifferent, it seems that you are iron-hearted, they are right, you don't like them, no matter what they do, you have to be iron-hearted to get rid of them." ”

No matter how much he said, his mother wouldn't believe him, he simply didn't say anything, this was his mother, and he couldn't do anything with her.

When the mother and son were-for-tat, they had already dismissed others.

There were only mother and son in the room, and the conversation was deadlocked, and the room was silent and dull.

Liu Chen obviously didn't eat hard and soft, the Queen Mother covered her head, sat back on the chair tiredly, and after a while, suddenly spoke, "Your body is not very good, the imperial doctor didn't say it a long time ago, let you rest in peace, it is not appropriate to work, I think it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, just today, pass the throne to the prince, what about you, unload the burden and concentrate on enjoying your old age." ”

When Liu Chen heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at his mother incredulously, was his mother asking him to abdicate? Seeing that he doesn't make sense here, just let him step down and let the prince who can't move the Deng family take over?

Is the throne child's play? If you don't like it, just change someone to do it?

Liu Chen seems to have only met his mother today.

My mother was born, when she was at home, she was cared for by her father and brother, and when she arrived in the palace, because of her mother's hard background, no one dared to mess with her in the palace, so she has never suffered hardships, she has not been wronged, her husband is gone, her son is the emperor again, she has become the queen mother, and she is even more respected, she does not understand too much human affairs and national affairs.

Women, or women from everyone's background, Liu Chen didn't think there was anything wrong in the past, he didn't have knowledge, he didn't care if he didn't understand state affairs, and he didn't expect them to participate in politics, or from another point of view, this is better, women are not talented is virtue, and they are in the province to make up something.

However, it is very terrible for such a person to intervene, because ignorance is even more terrible.

If the person in front of her is her own daughter Baochun, she will never be able to do it, not only will she not do it, but she also agrees with him to eradicate the Deng family, or from the beginning, she will stop the misdeeds of her mother's family, instead of ignorantly tolerating adultery and helping her mother's family to deal with her son.

"The prince has no virtue and no talent, not enough to be qualified for this position, my mother asked me to abdicate, why don't I want to, I have thought about it a long time ago, but not now, because there is no descendant of the Liu family who has grown up enough to serve the current situation, internal instability, external enemies are eyeing the prince? The prince is a few catties and a few taels, I can't know more clearly, Darong will only be buried in his hands, how can I let the foundation of the Liu family be ruined in his hands, in that case, what face do I have to meet the ancestors of the Liu family. ”

Liu Chen was really cold, really angry, calling himself me, he had already blocked the relationship between mother and son, and he was undoubtedly declaring that before he was her son, he was first a monarch, and he was responsible for the country and the world of his Liu family.

The Queen Mother said, "The prince is a little immature, but with the assistance of the Deng family, what kind of mess can happen, haven't you been smooth and smooth in your reign all these years?" ”

"Mother don't say it, I won't ......" Liu Chen didn't want to talk to his mother anymore, and when he got up to send her off, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his intestines like a knife churning inside, and with a bang, the whole person fell into the chair.

In a short time, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, from his intestines to his stomach and to his limbs......

When he was numb from the pain, Liu Chen thought of something, and suddenly raised his head, only to see his mother looking at him with a complicated expression, there was no surprise at all, his heart seemed to be pinched, and he looked at the blue and white porcelain empty bowl that had not been confiscated next to him, and he couldn't help laughing, who knew that the warmth he thought was poison, or his mother brought it herself, which is really ironic.

How sinful he was that his own mother drugged him.

The Queen Mother was also a little frightened, but she forced herself to calm down, "Son, my mother is also forced to do so, don't be afraid, this is not some poison, how can my mother use poison to harm you?" It will only make you look terminally ill, and after seven days, you will be back to normal. ”

After Liu Chen's pain at the beginning, he didn't know if the pain had been reduced, or he was numb, he lay down in the chair, unable to lift up a little strength, as if the strength of his whole body had been drained, and the breath of grief spread to his entire body, even if he learned that it was not a fatal poison, his grief was not reduced a little.

The Queen Mother stepped forward and took a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, but he turned his head away and rejected her.

She sighed, "How long can you sit in this position, sooner or later you have to leave it to them, it's better to give it to him now, you can be a leisurely emperor, recuperate well, and live for a few decades, you write the abdication edict." ”

Liu Chen looked straight at his mother, "I can't write it." ”

The Queen Mother's non-cooperation with him did not seem to be unexpected, "If you don't write, you can't stop the crown prince from succeeding to the throne." ”

Liu Chen said, "If you treat your son like this, don't you feel a little reluctant and guilty in your heart?" When you get to the bottom, aren't you afraid that your father will blame you? ”

The Queen Mother looked away, "Mother, this is for your good, for the good of the Liu family's world, don't you say that foreign enemies are eyeing each other?" You're fighting with your uncle all the time, isn't that just right for them? But the crown prince's succession to the throne is different, the Deng family will be desperate to assist him, he is the prince's grandfather, besides, whether you sit or the prince sits, isn't it all surnamed Liu? Why does your father blame me? ”

Liu Chen sneered, "Even if I die, not to mention anything else, he can't sit in that position for Prince Guang's murder of the general." ”

The Empress Dowager said, "If the palace is attacked by assassins, and he leads the army to defeat the assassins and save the palace and the emperor, these are enough to clear his guilt. ”

Liu Chen said coldly, "This qiē was all planned by Uncle Zhena, right?" ”

The Queen Mother did not say anything.

Liu Chen snorted, "Mother, don't forget, the crown prince is still locked up by me, and I guess that my uncle should be leading the army into the palace, right?" I had already taken precautions against him, and all the gates of the palace had mobilized the Imperial Forest Army to take strict precautions, prohibiting the entry and exit of a single qiē person. What he didn't expect was that his mother would do something to him.

The Queen Mother's expression froze, and she sat back on the chair, "Then let's see who wins and who loses." ”

After a while, Sun Ping came with a nervous expression, "Your Majesty ......"

Before Sun Ping could speak, Liu Chen ordered, "No matter what, the rebels must not be allowed to attack the palace." ”

"Yes." Sun Ping received the order, and the matter was urgent, but he didn't notice the emperor's abnormality, so he left in a hurry.

The defense of the palace has always been arranged by Sun Ping, and Liu Chen believes in his ability and knows that it is not easy to attack the palace.

Sure enough, as he expected, more than an hour passed, and the rebels did not attack.

The Queen Mother couldn't sit still, walked to the door and looked back and forth, looking anxious, she probably knew that if the shipwreck failed this time, not only would their mother-son relationship break down, but his brother and Deng Xiang's family would be beheaded in the name of rebellion.

After waiting anxiously for half an hour, the Queen Mother suddenly turned around and walked towards Liu Chen.

Liu Chen said, "Mother doesn't have to bother, it's useless." ”

But who knew that she ran to the back and took out the Son of Heaven Sword, Liu Chen's face changed greatly, "Mother, don't be obsessed anymore, you will regret it, you are luring the wolf into the room." ”

The Queen Mother ignored him, found her henchmen, and handed him the sword, "Seeing the sword is like seeing the Son of Heaven, and those who come are not allowed to resist in order to exterminate the assassins." ”

"No, you can't ...... like this" Liu Chen struggled to stand up, exerting all his strength, but he only lifted away from his body and fell back.

Not long after the person holding the sword of the Son of Heaven went out, the noise came from far and near, and Liu Chen raised his head and sighed helplessly.

"Your Majesty, why are you doing this? Okay, why don't you resist? Those are rebels, what are you trying to do......" Sun Ping, who was covered in blood, broke in angrily, and looked at the emperor for a moment, only to suddenly realize that something was wrong with the emperor.

The emperor gave him a look, and coupled with the queen mother sitting next to him, he instantly understood that it was not what the emperor wanted to do, it was what the queen mother wanted to do, and the queen mother was really confused.

The rebels have already attacked, the emperor's safety is in danger, Sun Ping is about to flee behind the emperor's back, save his life first, even if they master the palace, there is Princess Anping outside, and Rong Xiaowangye, they will not allow these people's behavior.

"No, you don't." Liu Chen waved his hand, "There must be people outside, I am like this now, you can't escape with me, you may have a glimmer of hope alone, after you escape, you see Princess Anping, you sue her ......"

Sun Ping shook his head desperately, "If I don't leave, how can I leave you, if Princess Anping knows, she will kill me with one sword." ”

Liu Chen sighed, "Think about it, don't sue her, after you escape, take care of her for me." ”

Sun Ping shook his head, "No, I won't leave what you say, what kind of mistake do you have and what face do I have to see her, yes, Princess Anping is so keen, she will definitely guess that there is a change in the palace, she once reminded me, maybe she will come back soon......"

The queen mother next to her snorted, "Anping, Anping, you are still thinking about her at this time, what do you say you are thinking in this brain, a girl with no relatives and no reason is worthy of you like this?" I think you're really enchanted, and you can't even figure out your intimacy. ”

Liu Chen was silent.

The corners of Sun Ping's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart, it should be you who can't pick up your relatives.

The Queen Mother said, "Even if she is here, she can't turn things around, just a girl who knows some medical skills." ”

While he was talking, the gate of the palace was suddenly pushed open, Deng Xiang Deng Shangyun, and the prince led a group of people in, and it was impossible for the emperor to let Sun Ping escape.

The moment the crown prince Liu Li saw his father, his eyes were panicked, and he didn't dare to look directly, revealing the extreme weakness in his heart.

On the contrary, Liu Chen is still calm and majestic.

Liu Chen glanced at the people in the hall, "Everyone should have arrived, speaking of which, the emperor has done quite badly, my mother, my uncle, my son, my courtiers, unite and try your best to pull me down, do you really think that if you take me, you can sit in my position?" Prince, you sit in such a position that you can convince the world? Can you convince your brother Liu Jing? ”

The crown prince gritted his teeth, "This position was originally mine, but one day earlier and one day later, I have been the prince for more than 20 years, from childhood to adulthood, everyone around me told me like this, my words and deeds, and what I have learned, are all for the purpose of being the emperor." ”

Liu Chen snorted, "You grew up as a prince, but you are not that material in your bones, you only learned the style of the prince, but you didn't learn how to be a good prince himself." ”

The prince's face was hideous, "You don't like my mother, you don't even like me, naturally, what I do in your eyes is useless, nothing is right, it's true that I am the prince, but you have favored Liu Jing since you were a child, and you have elevated him to oppose me and balance me, in your eyes, how can I ever have a son?" ”

"Even if I didn't make a mistake, you wouldn't have passed on the throne to me, you didn't want me as a son first, you forced my mother to death, you locked me in a dark room, and I just let you enjoy your old age earlier."

There was silence in the main hall.

"As for Liu Jing." The crown prince sneered, "It's impossible for him not to know about such a big thing happening in the palace, and it is impossible for him to stand idly by if he knows. ”

Liu Chen didn't say anything, but the Queen Mother stood up, "This is not good, he is your own brother, you can't hurt him." ”

The crown prince said, "As long as he cooperates well, I will naturally not hurt him, as long as my father writes an abdication edict, I will naturally protect him from harm." ”

The prince took the pen and inkstone and walked to the emperor, trying to force the emperor to write an edict, but halfway through, he heard a stabbing sound, and the person suddenly stopped, and a sword came out of his abdomen.

The Queen Mother sat down on the chair with a thud.

The prince looked back slowly, and found that it was Deng Shangyun who was holding the hilt of the sword, his eyes were stunned, and he couldn't imagine, "You, you ......"
