Chapter Fifty-Nine: Killing the King

After Guo Ju left the palace, he still felt unsteady in his heart, and rushed to Deng Die's mansion non-stop.

"We also discussed this matter that day, but the emperor didn't do anything at that time, so we let him go. For example, he was a little mouse at that time, and we could pinch him to death with just a finger movement, but now, he has grown into a big cat and fights with us. At this point, it's too late for you to raise it again. Deng Di picked up the tea and took a sip, nodded and said: "This tea was sent by Dou Du just now, it tastes fresh, I just asked to brew some, you can taste it too!" ”

Guo Ju was upset by what he said, sat down, lowered his head, and didn't answer.

Deng Di smiled and said, "I said, why are you so unbreathable?" Yesterday, I also told your father that Guo Ju is very good at things now, and he is no longer the hairy boy he was back then. Thanks to the relationship between you and her, if you were someone else, I was afraid that you would fall to the ground today. ”

"I pondered that the Queen Mother also had the intention of killing the emperor with "None" and "Wrong", but she is also powerless now!" Guo Ju said a word, and he felt more and more irritable in his heart.

"Yes, the queen mother has two roads in her hands, one is the general, if the general can take the throne as the emperor, she will be a sister, that is, a princess, and she will not have any power. But if it is the emperor, it will be different, she can still sit firmly in the harem and intervene in state affairs, the emperor is her son, and she will always be the queen mother. You say, which one will she choose? Therefore, this matter must not be said to not only the Queen Mother, but also to the general. It's okay for the four of us to know. As for the rat gall people in Bangu, they have to keep their mouths shut. Deng Di pouted and talked eloquently. Guo Ju nodded again and again when he heard this, feeling that what he said was very reasonable, and he also felt that he was a little reckless today.

"So what do you think we're going to do next?" Guo Ju asked.

"You, I have already arranged this matter, the emperor has left our people by his side in the past few days, we only need to move our hands and feet in his diet, and we are not unaware! You fanfare. Frivolous! ”

Guo Ju smiled when he heard this: "Yes, yes, what Hou Ye said is right, the emperor is lonely." In the palace, except for Cai Lun, who meddles everywhere, who else can help him? We have to use our hands and feet in our diet, and we don't have to do it yet. He laughed.

"That's it! I've made it clear that this can't be done. There is another plan. In short, it is necessary to ask the little emperor to return to the west as soon as possible. The two laughed, very proud.

In the palace, Liu Zhao approved the day's folding, but he still didn't feel sleepy, stretched his waist, and said to the maid standing beside him: "I'm thirsty, go get tea!" ”

It was here that Liu Qing asked to see, and Liu Zhao was overjoyed. Busy calling in.

Liu Qing had four or five books in his hand, all of which were biographies and the like. It was presented in front of Liu Zhao. Liu Zhao looked through it and saw that there was a copy of "Biography of Foreign Relatives" in it, and he was very happy. said to Liu Qing: "Brother, sit down, I just approved the excerpt, saying that spring is coming, the rain is reconciled, there is no drought and flood, it is really a bumper harvest year!" ”

Liu Qing was slightly nervous, accompanied by a smiling face, and looked around. Liu Zhao smiled and said, "Brother, what are you looking for?" ”

"Zhao'er, I'll come, you look weird, but why?"

"Haha!" Liu Zhao said with a smile: "The queen mother has newly assigned a few newcomers to come over, I look at them all thieves, I know that they are all coming to see me, and they are showing them, but I am not afraid that she will know about this book." ”

"But why?" Liu Qing asked in surprise.

Liu Zhao's face flushed, and a pair of dark eyes shimmered, "I just want her to know that I am dissatisfied with the Dou clan and want to clean them up!" ”

Liu Qing was shocked, "Your Majesty, have you asked your husband if it's too early to do this?" ”

"It's not too early, I have already greeted the generals in the army, and as long as I am under my command, they will fully cooperate. These people are all disciples of Lao Situ, and they think Dou Xian and his party are very evil, what are I afraid of with them as backup? ”

"If the Queen Mother knows, what if she blames Your Majesty?" Liu Qing frowned, and a layer of worry rose in his heart.

"Don't be afraid, my husband said that what the Queen Mother is afraid of is that I am too tough, if I insist, the Queen Mother has no choice, because Zheng Zhong told me that the Queen Mother is between me and my brother, and she will still protect me!" Liu Zhao paced a few steps in the hall with his hands behind his back, with a determined expression on his face that he had never seen before.

It seems that the emperor is really not afraid, he is becoming more and more mature and has more and more confidence in himself. He has finally grown from a prostrate child to a real man, a real king. Liu Qing looked at him excitedly, his heart full of emotion.

"Your Majesty, if you think it's right, just do it, let Liu Qing do something, just say it."

"Brother, I still want to-" At this moment, the maid walked in with tea, Liu Zhao stopped and took the tea: "Go out, bring tea for King Qinghe again!" ”

"Whoa!" The maid agreed and retreated, and Liu Qing asked the attendants on the left and right to retreat, and then said in a low voice: "Brother, I still want to collect the calendar files of Emperor Wen killing Bo Zhao and Emperor Wu killing Dou Ying, and I will see these as soon as possible." You go to Ban Gu and Chao Zhao, and I want them to record them all, and I want to check them. ”

"Whoa!" Liu Qing agreed, and when he saw that Liu Zhao wanted to drink water, he said, "Your Majesty, is this tea a new tea?" ”。

"Oh? New tea, I've been busy all day and haven't thought about this aspect. But the tea I drank at your place last time was full of fragrance, it was really delicious, this tea-" He put his eyes on the tea and looked at it, but he didn't see any difference, but when he saw a small insect floating on it, he felt disgusted, and his temper came up, so he threw the tea bowl directly to the ground, and scolded: "Which slave who doesn't have long eyes is so careless, and I still have something in my tea, I really don't want to live?" ”。

The tea splashed on the ground, flooding with white foam, Liu Qing exclaimed in fright, stood up and pulled Liu Zhao away, "Your Majesty, this tea is poisonous!" Liu Zhao didn't know that the tea was poisonous, but as soon as he said it, his face immediately turned frighteningly pale, and after a while, he shouted: "Someone!" ”

The palace maids and eunuchs outside the door rushed in when they heard it, and when they saw the tea spilled on the ground, they all knelt down in unison and said, "The emperor forgives the sin, I don't know what happened?" ”

Cai Lun also trotted into the hall, and when he saw that the tea on the ground was still foaming, he was suddenly frightened, and knelt down and scolded: "You group of minions who don't have long eyes, who did it, who wants to murder the emperor!" Say it, say it! ”

"Chang Shi, the emperor is frightened, I will take him to the dormitory to rest, you should ask them, who did these things, dare to kill the king, this crime is bigger than the sky, send someone to tell the queen mother, let her old man don't worry!" Liu Qing pulled the bloodless Liu Zhao, didn't let him speak, and arranged things himself, before helping the emperor to walk towards the apse.

After entering the dormitory, Liu Zhaocai asked in a low voice: "At this time, everyone has gone to the front hall to be tried, brother, the second time, the second time someone wants to kill me, do they still have a conscience?" I have been trembling and trembling, guarding this wealth and glory for them, sealing my wife and son, and I can do anything for them, but what is the result? They're going to kill me! ”

He sat down on the floor trembling, looking very wilted. Liu Qingdao: "Heaven, that is, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is Tianli, they don't want Tianli, they are marrying themselves and perishing." Please Your Majesty, bury all the palace people alive, and let the Queen Mother and the people of the Dou family see where the heavenly principles of the Han Dynasty are! ”

He gritted his teeth, every word was squeezed out of between his teeth, and seeing that Liu Zhao was silent in thought, he said again: "Your Majesty, you have to do this, otherwise there will be a third time, a fourth time, Your Majesty can prevent it once, and it can be prevented three times or four times?" This is to cut those who want to kill His Majesty, and let them know that this is what will happen to them in the future. Check, check to the end, you must find the mastermind behind it! Your Majesty, the minister now knows that it is time for us to make a move, otherwise, it will be your life or death! ”

"The crime of killing the king, the sin is greater than the sky, okay, I will listen to my brother, investigate it, and everyone in the palace will be buried for his sins!" Liu Zhao stood up and walked back and forth on the ground with his hands behind his back, "It's all Shechen, it's all Shechen, if it weren't for my brother talking about new tea and old tea, I'm afraid I would be a person from Huangquan now." It's not like I'm going to cause trouble for no reason, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, what can I do? ”

His face suddenly turned blood red from Tie Qing, and he pulled the collapsed quilt to the ground, and stepped on his feet hard, as if he had relieved some of his breath.

Liu Qing pulled him to sit down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's meaning, the matter is serious, you can call Tingwei Han Ling to try it personally, he is fair, and he is not a party of the Dou family, as long as there is solid evidence in hand, we will immediately start the matter and arrest all the party members of Dou Xian." ”

"Good!" Liu Zhao hurriedly walked to the imperial case, picked up the pen, wrote the will, and asked Liu Qing to do it. At this time, Cai Lun came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, I have asked Zhou Rong to lead people to detain these palace people, please show your majesty." ”

Liu Zhao's fierce green tendons in front of his forehead gradually faded, and the expression on his face calmed down, and he sighed softly: "Go and inform the Queen Mother, I am sick, and I can't go to ask for peace these days." When the Imperial Doctor came, my heart was beating hard! ”

"Whoa!" Cai Lun glanced at Liu Zhao with concern and hurriedly went out. The clear sky is still the same, but the Deyang Hall looks unusually cold, and in the empty hall, only Liu Zhao and Liu Qing stand alone in each other's hands.

When Empress Dowager Dou learned the news, she was coughing badly, and when she heard it, she didn't catch her breath and passed out. By the time Wang Yin'er and the medical officers pinched people, pinched the tiger's mouth, and sucked phlegm, they were finally saved, and they were already sweating profusely, their hands and feet were weak, and they couldn't move.

just instructed Wang Yin'er: "Go and see how the emperor is, there is nothing wrong with the mourning family here, these damn things, do you want to be angry with the mourning family?" ”。 His voice was weak, and he was already out of breath.

Wang Yin'er had to agree, but refused to leave, looking worriedly at the flushed and weak Queen Mother, and sighed secretly in her heart.

"Go! It's okay to mourn the family, oh, and, you Xuan Guo is raised into the palace, I have something to say to him! Empress Dowager Dou said again, coughed again, and couldn't speak anymore. (To be continued......)
