Chapter 158: Dilemma

The next day came the day when Liu Wu, the king of Liang, left, and Liu Qi, the son of heaven, issued an edict to specially summon Liu Rong into the Qilin Palace.

And when Wang Yan went to Liu Rong's palace, he happened to see Liu Rong practicing swords outside the palace.

Seeing that the person who came was Wang Yan, Liu Rongdang stopped and handed the long sword in his hand to Wang Sheng on the side.

"What is the matter with the Maharaja here?"

Hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness, Your Majesty urgently summons you to the Qilin Palace."

Hearing that his father summoned him, Liu Rong was of course busy.

When he arrived at the Qilin Palace, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said: "King Liang returned to King Liang this time, and I wanted to send it in person, but recently the imperial doctor had something to say, I want to recuperate in the palace, and it is inconvenient to go there."

I summoned you here today to ask you to go out of the palace to send King Liang on my behalf, are you willing to do it? ”。

After speaking, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, couldn't stop coughing again.

"I also ask my father to rest in the palace, and my son wishes!"

"Okay", and then Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, glanced at Wang Rong, and Wang Yan immediately understood what he meant, and when he picked up a tray from the bookcase and walked in front of Liu Rongzhi.

However, when Wang Cheng arrived in front of him, Liu Rong saw that the thing in the tray was actually a beautifully carved dragon-shaped jade pendant.

Among the jade pendants that Liu Rong has seen, the only one that can be compared with the beauty hired by his grandfather, Emperor Xiaowen, can be compared to the jade pendant that his grandfather Emperor Xiaowen rewarded him with.

Is Daddy going to reward me? Liu Rong sighed secretly.

But I don't seem to have done anything, how can I be rewarded?

Just when Liu Rong was secretly pondering, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, spoke again, "You sent this thing to King Liang on my behalf, and I will know what I mean at a glance."

At this time, Liu Rong realized that this was to hand over Uncle Liang's things.

"No!" , Liu Rong turned around and left.

And when Liu Rong came out of the Qilin Palace, Wang Yan brought a bowl of soup and medicine, and walked to the Son of Heaven Liu Qi, "Your Majesty should take the medicine."

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, frowned, and didn't look at Wang Yan, but said indifferently: "Let's put it down first."

After speaking, he looked at the door of the Qilin Hall with great concentration............

At this time, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, can be said to be in despair, since returning from the palace, Liu Wu ordered the slaves and maids in the house to pack their bags overnight and prepare to leave.

In the early morning of the second day, when the gate of Chang'an was just opened, he immediately drove out of the city and left.

This is fixed, and when Liu Rong drove to the gate of Liang Wangfu by car, he saw that the door of Liang Wangfu was closed.

"It seems that my imperial uncle has left."

Immediately, Liu Rong got out of the carriage and rode a fast horse to chase Liu Wu, the king of Liang.

When Liu Rong went out of the city gate, he also specially asked the soldiers guarding the city gate, and learned from his mouth that King Liang's car had only passed for an hour.

Hearing this, after Liu Rong left the city, he rode his horse and galloped away.

ran like this for nearly half an hour, and finally caught up with Liu Wuzhi's car.

Liu Rong rode his horse in front, and Liu Wuzhi's car naturally stopped in place.

And Liu Wu sat on the car and asked: "Why stop for no reason, this is still far from Suiyang."

Zhang Yu hurriedly walked forward to the side of the car and saluted: "King, His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor is in front of the car at this moment."

Hearing that Liu Rong was here, Liu Wu frowned and said secretly: What is he doing here?

No matter what, Liu Wu had to get out of the car.

And Liu Rongdang dismounted and handed over the reins of the horse to Wang Sheng, and immediately approached Liu Wuzhi.

Immediately, he saluted: "Nephew Liu Rong pays a visit to Uncle Huang."

Liu Wu was angry and said, "What is the emperor's nephew doing here?" ”

"My father knew that the emperor was leaving today, so he ordered his nephew to send it off."

At this time, Liu Wu's heart had a lot of resentment towards the Son of Heaven Liu Qi and Liu Rong.

Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said that he wanted to make himself the prince, but after a while, he blocked the mouth of the Empress Dowager Dou with courtiers.

Not to mention Liu Rong, he has always been the biggest obstacle to being the prince, so if he leaves, it is not surprising that Liu Rong is the biggest beneficiary of this battle for succession.

Liu Wuyi arched his hand and said: "I am tired of Your Majesty, the emperor's nephew has seen the widow, so I will go back to the palace to resume my life."

And Liu Rong naturally knew that Liu Wu must not like him at this moment.

didn't say much, when he saluted again: "Father and the emperor ordered the nephew to come here, and he will send something to the emperor's uncle."

After speaking, Liu Rong took out the dragon-shaped jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Liu Wu.

"This is what my father ordered me to personally hand over to my uncle."

Seeing the object handed over by Liu Rong, Liu Wu's eyes straightened.

Stretching out a trembling hand to take the jade pendant, Liu Wu asked eagerly, "This ...... Is this really His Majesty's order for you to be handed over to the widow? ”。

Liu Rong didn't know why Liu Wu was so excited at the moment, so he said: "Naturally, this is what my father personally handed over to my nephew, and my father even said that he would hand it over to his uncle."

However, when Liu Rong raised his head again, he saw that Uncle Liang Wang in front of him had ruddy eyes, "Dare to ask Uncle Huang, what is this."

After a period of silence, Liu Wucai said: "When the first emperor made His Majesty the crown prince, he gave four jade pendants to His Majesty, the widow, Liu Shen and Liu Yi.

At that time, the first emperor even asked the four of us to swear to the sky, no matter what happens, we must never fight in the same room! ”。

After speaking, Liu Wu took out a jade pendant from his arms that was almost identical.

…………………………………………………………

Although the Son of Heaven can be said to be the most ruthless person in the world, how can there be no love for licking calves, when Liu Rongzhi's ancestor Emperor Gao Liu Bang was persecuted by Empress Lu in order to prevent Liu Ruyi from being persecuted by Empress Lu after his death.

tried his best, and even sent Zhou Chang to Zhao State as the prime minister to ensure his thoroughness.

Not to mention Emperor Wen, since Empress Lu took power, Liu Bang's sons are scattered, and they are worried about losing their lives at any time.

Solidly, this has become a hidden pain in Emperor Wen's heart, and he is afraid that his four sons will fight with each other and fight in the same room. In this way, when Liu Qi was canonized as the crown prince, he ordered someone to carve these four jade pendants and give them to the sons.

Hearing this, Liu Rong finally understood, why did his father say that King Liang would understand what he meant when he saw this.

I don't know if it's true or false, Liu Wu burst into tears, and said to Liu Rongyan: "After the imperial nephew returns to the palace, I will take the trouble to inform Your Majesty that the imperial brother's intentions are known to the younger brother, and I hope Your Majesty will take care of your body!" ”。

Liu Rongdang bowed and saluted: "My nephew sends off the emperor's uncle."

In this way, Liu Wu got into the car again with the support of the attendants, only to see the horseman whipping the horse in front of him, and within a while, Liu Wuzhi's car disappeared in front of Liu Rong.

In this way, when Liu Rong arrived in Chang'an again, it was already noon, but Liu Rong did not dare to take a break, so he hurriedly went to Weiyang Palace.

"It turned out that His Royal Highness had returned, and His Majesty had been reviewing the recital until noon, and only then did he take the decoction, and he was sleeping peacefully at this moment."

Hearing that his father had just fallen asleep, Liu Rong was about to turn around and leave.

Seeing that Liu Rong was leaving, Wang Yan hurriedly stepped forward to stop Liu Rong, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has said that if you come back, you will report it immediately."

However, without waiting for Liu Rong to say anything more, Wang Yan pushed the door and entered.

However, after a while, Wang Yan walked to the outside of the hall and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has ordered you to enter."

In this way, Liu Rong just nodded, and followed Wang Yan into the palace.

Immediately saluted and said: "Father forgives the sin, when the son arrived in the imperial uncle's mansion, the imperial uncle had already left, and the son rode a fast horse and chased for a long time before he caught up with the imperial uncle and handed over the jade pendant to the imperial uncle."

Hearing this, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, nodded and said, "I can hand over the jade pendant to him."

Then Liu Rong said: "My father forgave my sins, and when I came, my son heard that my father was sleeping peacefully, and my son retired from it."

………………………………………………………………………

And when Liu Rong came out of the Qilin Palace, where was Liu Qi, the son of heaven, still sleeping, and muttered to himself: "Liu Wuke still resents my ............."

Seeing that His Majesty was sitting still, Wang Yan stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty still wants to sleep peacefully."

In this way, Liu Qicai, the son of heaven, came back to his senses and sighed: "Take the unfinished chapter that I have not approved."

"No!" After speaking, Wang Yan turned around and summoned two attendants to fetch the chapter.

And when this piece was placed in front of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, Liu Qi suddenly asked: "What do you think about making Liu Rong the crown prince?" ”。

Immediately, Wang Yan's legs weakened and he knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, this is ...... This...... How can this be something that a minister dares to say."

The last time Liu Qi, the son of heaven, asked Wang Rong how Liu Rong was, he had already scared Wang Rong a lot, and now he asked Liu Rong how he was the prince, which naturally scared Wang Rong, and he was about to lose his words.

"Don't be so frightened, I ask you, and you will say it."

Kneeling on the ground, the king had to tremble and say: "The minister only knows that His Royal Highness is the purest and most filial person."

glanced at Liu Rong, who was kneeling on the ground: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty".

Regarding the matter of making Liu Rong the prince, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, already had this idea.

However, there has been no movement for such a long time, firstly, in order to continue to test Liu Rong, and secondly, in order to win over Liu Wu, he promised to make him the prince, so naturally he could not rashly appoint Liu Rong as the prince.

However, at this time, Liu Wu was naturally kicked out, and Liu Qi, the son of heaven, knew that there was a big problem with his body at this moment, and it was time to have to establish a reserve.

Fortunately, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, has a candidate in front of him who fully meets all the requirements.

But in order to make Liu Rong the prince, he still has to face a very big problem.

What should Kurihime do!

In the past 50 years of Hanxing, the biological mothers of the Son of Heaven have all been queens and queen mothers.

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, also had the idea of making Li Ji the queen.

But just when she had this idea, Li Ji fell out with Liu Rong because of Queen Bo.

However, not long ago, Li Ji went to the Empress Dowager Dou to sue Liu Rong for unfilial piety.

Although it was not deliberate, it was so easy to be fooled into accusing his son, where did such a person become the queen, let alone be the queen mother in the future.

Although Empress Lu is vicious, he does not lack political wisdom, and when he was in power, all the people who suffered were the people of the clan surnamed Liu, but the people at the bottom were not affected at all.

But Li Ji can neither assist the government nor be a loving mother.

In the heart of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, he was already very disappointed in Li Ji.

I wanted to get rid of Li Ji, but I was afraid that this matter would harm Liu Rong, and I was even more afraid that after getting rid of Li Ji, Liu Rong would resent his father when he learned it..............................

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, was in a dilemma at the moment, and sighed secretly: What should I do?

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, suddenly thought that one person might have a solution.

When even said to Wang Yan: "At dusk, go and summon the Marquis of Dangyang into the palace!" ”。

"No!" , Wang Yan saluted.
