In the eyes of the courtiers, Liu Tong used to be a low-key and inconspicuous prince. Emperor Yuanwu has many sons, although Liu Tong has a foreign bloodline, which is slightly different from other princes, but it is no more.

He began to emerge because he began to do things with King Rui, who was suddenly valued by Emperor Yuanwu.

Not to mention Liu Tong's ability to do errands for the time being, almost everyone knows that Liu Tong has absolutely nothing to say to Rui Wang's brother.

likes to assign factions to people, so he consciously included Liu Tong in the faction of King Rui.

When Liu Tong said that when Emperor Yuan Wu had no idea, he had to listen to the prince's words when he retreated, many courtiers felt that their ears were wrong.

But after reacting, he realized that this was just Liu Tong's sarcasm.

The emperor has no idea, so doesn't the prince have to call the shots? Since the prince is the master, he can only listen to the prince.

But the dignified emperor, if he has an idea, he doesn't take it, but he lets the prince take the idea, which doesn't sound good.

In addition, what Liu Tong said later, what kind of retribution was clear, and he tasted something, and the eyes of the prince were a little different.

Emperor Yuanwu's face tensed, and he no longer continued to ask the opinions of other princes.

"I said that the disposal of the Qi and Lu families is naturally effective." Emperor Yuanwu's face was cold, and he said to King Rui: "King Rui, take the order." ”

King Rui was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help pressing his legs.

Emperor Yuanwu suddenly said, "King Rui injured his leg, this is not very easy to do......"

As he spoke, Emperor Yuanwu's eyes turned to Liu Tong again, and after a pause but blinking, Emperor Yuanwu said: "In this case, then the Nine Emperors will take the order, take two thousand Zuo Xiaowei, and go to Yanzhou to arrest the criminal." ”

Liu Tong was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he came out and said, "The son of the minister has the order." ”

Emperor Yuanwu nodded, lowered his eyes, and said, "There is nothing else to do today, I wish the king to come with me." ”

After speaking, Emperor Yuanwu glanced around again, and then said, "Retreat from the dynasty." ”

The temple people hurriedly shouted out the word retreat from the dynasty in a long tone, and everyone bowed in unison under the jade steps, shouting to send off His Majesty.

When Emperor Yuanwu disappeared, the courtiers gathered together in twos and threes and walked out of the hall.

Liu Tong stepped forward to help King Rui get up, and King Rui stood up with his hand.

Because of the good recuperation after returning to Beijing, although it is still a little inconvenient for Ruiwang to walk, it does not affect his daily life.

Rui Wang frowned and looked at Liu Tong.

Liu Tong's face is not so much calm as expressionless.

King Rui wanted to scold him twice, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't reprimand him, and only sighed lightly after a long time.

"You." King Rui shook his head, let Liu Tong help him walk out slowly, and said softly: "If I don't stop you today, do you want to expose the prince and the Qi family in front of all the courtiers, and wish the relationship between the king and the Lu family to be successful?" ”

Liu Tong lowered his eyes, focused on the road under his feet, and replied: "So what?" If the father wants to cover up, he has to ask if everyone is blind and blind. ”

King Rui shook his head: "What's the benefit of going against my father?" ”

Liu Tong snorted coldly: "If you follow him, you won't see any benefits." ”

"Little Nine." King Rui stopped, looked at Liu Tong seriously, and said, "You have a problem with your mentality, and your mentality is unbalanced, which causes you to be radical and impulsive. This is a taboo for the son of man and a minister. ”

Liu Tong gritted his teeth: "Fifth brother, can you bear it?" ”

"Yes."

King Rui replied categorically: "What is there that cannot be endured? I can bear it, so you have to endure it too. ”

"Fifth brother!" Liu Tong pursed his lips fiercely, and the muscles on his face became a little blue due to the exertion.

"You see, on the top of the hall today, my father only took the Qi family's Lu family and Yanzhou riots, and Tongzhi was stabbed, and the Qi family plundered and sold civilians to collect wealth for the prince and didn't mention it at all, Zhu Wang secretly contacted the Lu family for the Lu family's personal gain, and it was just a simple sentence to settle accounts with Zhu Wang afterwards, fifth brother, you were stabbed by the Yuwen family, so far there is no explanation, and even today's father mentioned Yanzhou, the Qi family and the Lu family in the three major clans have all said, but the Yuwen family has not mentioned it. Why?! Why did the Yuwen family assassinate the fifth brother, so you have to tell the fifth brother for this reason, but the father seems to have forgotten such a big thing! ”

Liu Tong's tone was ruthless, and his expression was quite vicious: "My father is like this, but who wants to suffer this kind of grievance?" Fifth brother, you can bear it! If I hadn't stood up today, the fifth brother would not have said that call in front of his father, so that his father had to deal with the Qi family and the Lu family, right? ”

King Rui was silent for a long time before he said, "Xiao Jiu, no matter what, that is also our monarch father." Since he is the king's father, then the king should be the first and the father last. ”

"I can't care so much!" Liu Tong roared: "I only know that it is tolerable or unbearable, I can't bear it anymore!" ”

"Little Jiu!"

Rui Wang shouted loudly, and Liu Tong, who was on the verge of irritability, was suddenly suppressed.

King Rui had a serious face, and said to Liu Tong word by word: "The eldest husband can endure what ordinary people can't bear, you don't want to do something that outweighs the loss just because you are happy for a while." ”

Liu Tong turned his face hatefully.

King Rui also lowered his eyes, motioned for Liu Tong to continue walking outside the palace with him, and said, "Let me ask you, even if you really pierce this layer of window paper today, what can you do?" Will the father depose the crown prince? Will you kill King Zhu? Will it destroy the Yuwen clan? Do you think it will? There is no way to have results, so why bother to have more complications and make your father dislike you? I'm afraid that what you said later today has already made your name known to your father. ”

"What did I say?" Liu Tong snorted coldly: "Isn't it natural that those who do bad things will have retribution?" ”

"Xiao Jiu, you know what I mean."

King Rui supported Liu Tong's shoulder, paused and continued: "I should have gone to Yanzhou to arrest the Qi and Lu families. I politely refused with the injury on my leg. If it weren't for what you said today, my father wouldn't have thought of you and entrusted this errand to you. ”

Liu Tong sneered: "As far as the situation in the face is today, who doesn't know that the matter of Yanzhou is a hot potato?" Who wants to go? He wants to give it to others, but he also needs others to be willing. Just like the incident in Yanzhou came to Beijing before, my father would ask you who would like to find out the truth about the riots. ”

Liu Tong pursed his lips and said, "But he never asks me if I want to." ”

Like his first marriage.

The prince was the matchmaker, and the concubine saw that the girl from the Fuguo Mansion was matched with him, and no one said hello to him, so the family was settled.

Liu Tong has had a knot in his heart for Emperor Yuanwu since he was a child, and later because of the unfair treatment he and King Rui received from Emperor Yuanwu, the knot became heavier and heavier.

said that he was father and son, and he still had a little father-son affection for Emperor Yuanwu, hoping that Emperor Yuanwu would occasionally remember and know that there was such a son as him.

But what about Emperor Yuanwu to him?

Liu Tong sneered, haven't you looked down on it all these years? (To be continued.) )
