CHAPTER XXVIII

It is said that Liu Xiu returned to the East Palace that night full of worries, and he didn't even have an appetite for dinner. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info closed his eyes at night, no sleep, tossing and turning. When he woke up the next day, he heard Liu Yang's deceitful prophecy, and knew that there could not be a moment of delay in this matter, and he did not wait for the person who went to inquire to come back, so he directly summoned him, told him about it, and asked him what he thought.

Lai Xi thought about it for a while and said, "Is it possible that this matter is a trick of King Zhending to make His Majesty set up a noble man?" ”

Liu Xiu disagreed, he said: "This is a major crime of rebellion, how can it be such a child's play." If this is really the purpose, I only gave those 100,000 soldiers and horses to me, so why waste my reputation. ”

Lai Xi thought that although this method was a little more radical, it seems that it has worked very well. 100,000 soldiers and horses are included in Liu Xiu's bag, this is a matter of time, what is needed now is just time. What he can think of, he thinks that the king of Zhending will be able to think of it, so this time must be grasped well, obviously, the king of Zhending knows this very well. As for whether Liu Yang's rebellion is true or not, it is impossible to know, at least now, it seems that Liu Xiu is very passive, and according to the current situation, Liu Xiu can only obey. After listening to what Liu Xiu said, he knew that Liu Xiu believed in the rebellion of King Zhending. He remembered that Geng Chun had taken leave some time ago and returned to Zhending Province, so he said to Liu Xiu: "General Geng took leave some time ago to save his relatives, Your Majesty might as well ask to see if General Geng has noticed anything wrong?" Lai Xi thought that since Geng Chun came back and didn't say anything, there was nothing unusual, so Liu Xiu was not in a hurry to make a decision, but it was counterproductive for him to be like this, just because he walked into someone else's trap and didn't know it.

Liu Xiu listened to Laixi's suggestion and felt that it was reasonable, so he sent someone to invite Geng Chun quickly and asked him: "Geng Aiqing came back to Zhending some time ago, but what did you find abnormal?" ”

Geng Chun pretended to think about it seriously, and then replied: "Wei Chen went back this time and heard that King Zhending frequently drilled his troops, and he had some dealings with the Mianman thieves. Wechen went to visit for this purpose, and sure enough, it was not. He had doubts in his heart, and he tried to ask the king of Zhending, what was the reason? King Zhending told Weichen that he was afraid that the soldiers would neglect to practice, and if he was attacked by thieves in the future, he would not be able to form an army, and if His Majesty needed it, he could always share his worries and solve problems for His Majesty. As for the private correspondence with the Mianman thieves, it is just one more place to inquire about the news, after all, the thieves are very well-informed. When Weichen saw that King Zhending had helped His Majesty in the past, and saw that his eyes were clear, and he spoke frankly, he no longer doubted it, and he did not mention it to His Majesty. Your Majesty is asking such questions now, but what must be wrong? Could it be ......" said this, Geng Chun looked at Liu Xiu in disbelief.

Liu Xiu listened to Geng Chun's words, and even more firmly believed in Liu Yang's rebellion, so he told Guo Guo's experience and Liu Dezhi's letter, and then asked Geng Chun: "What is Geng Aiqing's opinion on the rebellion of King Zhending?" ”

Geng Chun thought for a moment and replied, "Please forgive Weichen for being incompetent. ”

At this time, Lai She suggested: "It is better to respond to Liu De first, send someone to Zhending to communicate with him, and quickly solve it before King Zhending raises the matter, and at the same time, clamp down on Zhending's 100,000 army." After such a thing is accomplished, Liu De Xiaoer has no more bargaining chips. ”

Geng Chun immediately retorted: "This move must not be. The Son of Heaven is full of words, how can he be so rebellious and act like such a villain, which will only make His Majesty despised by the world. Liu Dezai is also popular with the people, and His Majesty's reversal will only make him follow his father's actions, which is very inappropriate. Besides, there are external worries that have not been eliminated, how can there be troops to clamp down on the 100,000 soldiers and horses, 100,000 is not a decimal, even if the clamp can be achieved, I am afraid that the external worries are unpredictable, and the military spirit is also difficult to stabilize, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice. ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he bowed his head silently.

When I came to see this, I knew that Liu Xiu had made a decision in his heart. In fact, what Geng Chun said, he didn't know what he was going to do, but after all, he just wanted to fight for the person in his heart for the last time.

Considering that Geng Chun is loyal, decisive, wise and brave, and is a disciple of Zhending Liu Yang's own family, he grew up in Zhending since he was a child, and he knows Zhending very well, so Liu Xiu sent Geng Chun to carry out the pardon order and go out to Youzhou and Yizhou, in the name of comforting the princes, in fact, Geng Chun was asked to investigate Liu Yang's rebellion and kill Liu Yang.

Just when Liu Xiu instructed Geng Chun to act, Laishe, who had already withdrawn, walked on the road, thinking that Yin Lihua would soon become a concubine, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for Yin Lihua. Thinking that Yin Lihua didn't know it now, Lai She really wanted Xigong to tell her all this, but fortunately, Lai She was sensible. After thinking about it and thinking about it, he decided to inform Yin Xing of the matter in private, so that the Yin family could be mentally prepared, so as not to lose his temper in the future. That night, Lai Xi briefly wrote down the matter on a small piece of paper. The next day, Lai Shu avoided everyone and quietly stuffed a small note to Yin Xing, and told him in a low voice: "No one is careful to read it in private." ”

Although Yin Xing was very puzzled by this, he thought that Su Ri and Lai Xi were friendly when they met, so they were not suspicious. After seeing it in private, I was naturally shocked. After seriously recalling the movements of the imperial court, he determined the truth of this matter. After hesitating for a moment, Fang sent someone to quietly transfer this note to Yin Lihua.

After Yin Lihua saw it, her face was incredulous, she didn't expect things to be so reversed. She can actually understand Liu Xiu's decision, but understanding does not mean that she is not uncomfortable. Yin Lihua felt very sad at this time, sad that she would not become a concubine soon, and sad that she gave up herself for Liu Xiu's great achievements, but she would not cry easily now. After smiling bitterly at this, she weakly handed the note to Mama Liu.

Since ancient times, love has not been worth mentioning at all in the face of the regime.

After Mama Liu read it, she calmly burned it.

Yin Lihua saw that Mama Liu's face did not change, so she asked, "Mama has long expected this situation today?" ”

Mama Liu shook her head and replied, "After staying in this palace for a long time, it is not surprising that you encounter anything. The slave and maid were also surprised by this, but the slave and maid thought that instead of dwelling in this accident, it was better to think about what to do in the future. ”

Yin Lihua deeply agrees with this. After calming down, she suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but regret it, she said to Mama Liu: "Not long ago, someone from the palace told me that Zhou Ruyi secretly met Geng Chun, I thought it was just Zhou Ruyi and Geng Chun who had a private affair, and I knew that it was the Changqiu Palace who was only afraid of having an affair with Geng Chun." Perhaps since then, they have learned about Liu Yang's rebellion and discussed countermeasures, but we didn't even know about it. Yin Lihua also understood a truth at this point - in this palace, no matter how big or small, no matter how big or small, you must not be negligent, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Mama Liu has such an awareness of Yin Lihua, and she is satisfied, I have to say that today's Yin Lihua makes her more and more satisfied, so she rarely said good words to comfort Yin Lihua, she said: "Nobles don't have to be too remorseful, the harem often changes hands, not in the morning and night, and the future is long." ”

Yin Lihua nodded, signaling that she understood. It's just that Guo Shengtong has Geng Chun such a capable person to help, she really doesn't feel at ease, after thinking deeply, she said to Mama Liu: "Mama, maybe it's time for the beauty trick you told my mother to come in handy." "Beauty loves heroes, and heroes are sad to pass the beauty level.

When Mama Liu heard this, she looked at Yin Lihua with a slight stunnedness, with puzzlement in her eyes.

Yin Lihua saw that Mama Liu didn't know yet, so she told her frankly, "That day, when you talked to my mother, I stood outside the door." On that day, Mama Liu suggested that Yin Deng leave all the girls she raised, and if he fell out of favor in the future, he could use it to fix his favor, or send it to his opponent to make a beauty. At that time, Yin Deng did not agree.

Mama Liu was surprised, and said, "The old lady didn't agree at that time. ”

"I remember. I have my own opinions. In fact, she didn't completely agree with Mama Liu's proposal. For the girls raised by the Yin Deng family, Yin Lihua also knows them, and has some feelings, Yin Lihua has no intention of taking advantage of them, she plans to let the Yin Deng family find them elsewhere.

Mama Liu asked Yin Lihua: "Who is the noble person going to use it for?" ”

Yin Lihua told Mama Liu what she thought in her heart, "Geng Chun is a great person, and he will be relied on by His Majesty one day." If he were only a good servant of His Majesty, I would not have to pay attention to him. However, whether it was the previous cold medicine or this time, he helped Guo. Presumably, he will protect Guo with all his heart in the future, and I can't let him help Guo like this. I asked my mother to pick a proper woman of the right age and send it to Geng Chun, so that she could think of a way to separate Geng Chun from Guo, and the rest was up to her own heart. ”

In the eyes of the world, Geng Chun is a good son-in-law, and it is naturally an excellent thing to be his wife. To be able to get a beloved, just let the beloved be separated from a married woman, and it does not hurt the beloved, there should be many women who are willing. Yin Lihua thought.

Mama Liu felt that Yin Lihua's idea was good, so she had no objection.

Yin Lihua said that she would do it, and soon conveyed her thoughts to Yin Xing, asking him to tell Yin Deng's arrangement as soon as possible.

Yin Xing listened to Yin Lihua's plan, and couldn't help but sigh at his sister's kindness, if it was him, he would directly find an opportunity to keep Geng Chun away from the court. However, he understood that the reason why Yin Lihua did this was to cherish his talents, and secondly, he had a heart for Liu Xiu after all, and he couldn't bear to lose a capable courtier. This kind of Yin Lihua makes Yin Xing inevitably feel distressed, he has always felt that his sister is the best woman in the world, and she deserves to have the best man in the world, but it is a pity that God makes people, and he can't do anything about it. Although he didn't agree with Yin Lihua's idea, he would still do it seriously.
