Chapter 59: A New Situation
The father and daughter talked lively, and Liu Shangzhi, who was annoyed, only thought he was unlucky. What else? In any case, when Chaotianzi also admitted his mistakes, he Liu Shangzhi would not dare to think about it in the past.
Still don't know how to advance or retreat? Chen Qing, who has lost face, can do anything.
Although this Chen Qing is not the king of the horse god, he is cautious, decisive, knowledgeable, capable, and ruthless! At this time, he was accused of being wrong by his beloved daughter, and accepted it with a smile, which made Liu Shangzhi feel very surprised, thinking that the two princes had fled the capital and would inevitably become a big disaster, so he was relieved.
As the so-called cannibalistic mouth is short, the human hand is short. At the time when the court was employing people, he put down his body and admitted a mistake, which shows that he Chen Qing, the emperor, is really competent. Of course, this has to be based on the idea of royal rule.
After a slight hesitation, Liu Shangzhi held back the irritability in his heart, "Holy Lord, did Weichen retire first?" ”
said that Liu Zuochen was his own nephew, but the emperor clearly instructed "Liu Zuochen to enter the palace to see the driver", and the kinship relationship is also divided into time and place, isn't it?
"Huh? …… Or is it opinionated? ”
Chen Qing frowned and looked at it, so unhappy in his heart! You old boy doesn't know how to lift, and you still want me to admit my mistakes one by one? I still want to beg you not to resign?! Thinking of this, he raised his sword eyebrows high and waited for the thunder to be released.
"Holy! ...... before, it was a micro-minister who was willful and ......"
"That's it......"
Chen Qing waved his hand, and he looked very atmospheric, which made Liu Shangzhi feel like he had fallen into the middle of the river, and his heart became more and more irritable and annoyed.
"After a while, when that kid enters the palace, I will have dinner with me." After being able to deal with it more satisfactorily, Chen Qing was still quite happy in his heart, so much so that his tone softened and his face returned to calm.
For ordinary people, it is an honor to be able to dine with the emperor.
Liu Shangzhi, who was physically and mentally exhausted, couldn't keep up his spirits, let alone be interested, so he couldn't help but look at Princess Ruxuan with a bitter face, and grinned awkwardly.
"Father, General Liu is tired of sleeping in the open for many days, but unlike Erchen and Liu Zuochen, he must have been physically and mentally exhausted, and Erchen thinks that it is better to let General Liu go back to the house to recuperate. Tired of your border general, your father, you don't have more to gain than you lose. ”
"Huh? Hehehe...... it makes sense! Then go home early and rest! You don't need to go to court early, if you have something ......, I will summon you. ”
......, bidding farewell to the emperor's father and daughter, Liu Shangzhi seemed to have fought a defeated battle, throwing away his armor and returning in defeat.
It wasn't until late at night that the uncle and nephew were able to meet. Two bitter faces look at each other, everything is silent.
What can you get? One was bent on resigning, but to no avail. A man who was bored with the hypocrisy in the palace was not spared.
……
The plan of the year lies in the spring.
Kyoto Castle, which had suffered a mutiny, was like a weed that had been moved away and pressed against a boulder overhead, shaking its body in the spring breeze and straightening its waist again.
The joy of the aftermath of the catastrophe allowed the people of Kyoto Castle to temporarily suppress the grief of losing their relatives and friends, or repairing the damaged courtyard gate or repairing the collapsed walls. It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a curse! A very reasonable sentence indeed.
As for revenge, although it is impossible to find out which one is the real one, Prince Qing and Prince Jing can't escape their involvement, and it is inevitable to be hated, but no one thinks deeply about why there is a mutiny.
It was deliberately rumored by the imperial court that it was the two princes who wanted to usurp power and seize the throne and make innocent people suffer, which strengthened their views, so the young generation who signed up to join the army turned out to be particularly emotional, and it became their only belief to avenge their dead relatives.
"Fuck it! These ignorant people are working hard for others, and they are still coming one after another! ”
Liu Shangzhi, who got the news, raised the teacup in his hand hatefully, muttering to himself: Human life is yours, the teacup is owned by the Liu family, and it is not worth destroying for you Bai Dingping! As he spoke, he lowered his arm and glanced at the teacup, which was gently placed on the coffee table.
Looking at his old naughty expression, Liu Zuochen couldn't help laughing, as irritable as he could hold back his heart at this time, he had figured out a lot of problems during this time.
"I heard that it is a foregone conclusion that the emperor will appoint you as the commander of the southwest border......"
"Hmmm! At most, there will be half a month to leave Beijing for the handover! Liu Shangzhi, who was worried, said softly, Huo Ran got up, "Let's go, accompany me to the station outside the house." As he spoke, he didn't allow Liu Zuochen to answer, so he walked outside the house first.
Liu Zuochen knew that he had something on his mind, but he couldn't speak out, so he followed behind him silently.
After a long time, Liu Shangzhi raised his face and sighed, and asked, "With your current strength, how many private soldiers can you raise?" ”
Taken aback by his words, he raised a private soldier!? That is something that the emperor absolutely cannot tolerate, if the matter is revealed, it will naturally be easy to copy the whole house. Thinking like this, Liu Zuochen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, not that he hadn't thought about it and not implemented it, for now, the about 3,000 people he raised were scattered, which also made him distressed, management is a problem, and worrying about things being exposed is the top priority.
"Don't think uncle, I don't know, your little strength is a problem to protect yourself." Saying that, Liu Shangzhi gasped out again, "Emperor Chen Qing's scheming is so deep, you kid should have understood, how can our Liu family have two border coaches?" Come to think of it, he must have a purpose! Judging from the current situation of the defense of Kyoto City, after the two princes are exterminated or they are completely powerless, our Liu family's mission to serve him will come to an end, who dares to ensure that it will not be a big killer like treating his two closest relatives!? ”
I sighed in my heart, his statement coincided with his own speculation, if this is the case, it is really urgent to raise private soldiers to protect themselves.
"Uncle San, what are your plans?"
"Plans? It's just a matter of taking one step at a time, after all, none of our Liu family wants to seek power and usurp the throne, right? Liu Shangzhi, who turned around, frowned and said: "Being calculated, once you endanger your life, you can stretch your neck and let others slaughter you?" Hum! The Liu family does not have such a seed! ”
Whether the future will be as expected, the uncle and nephew are not confident that they dare to pack tickets, and taking precautions is tantamount to taking risks! This is very contradictory and makes it impossible for people to make the right choice, often making decisions so rashly, failing to get the expected results, but giving people a handle in advance.
"Isn't it...... Somewhat early? ”
"Early? I'm afraid it's too late, it's too late! ”
……
According to Liu Shangzhi's assumption, Prince Qing may not provoke civil strife, but Prince Jing absolutely dares to try. You can't shoot deer, and you can't let deer graze! It is the usual method of Prince Jing.
It shouldn't be difficult to be chased and killed by the emperor Manda Antai, without the strength to fight hard, and to harass him and not let him get a moment of peace.
As a result, chaos abounded, the people were not at peace, and the defenders of the cities were bound to be tired of running around and toiling. So how do some of the local magnates and rich deal with themselves? In the name of flooding the family, it must be used to protect itself, at least until the rebels are wiped out, and the court will have the strength to rectify it.
At this time, it should be an excellent time to raise private soldiers.
