Chapter Forty-Six: A Defeat

Du Zongting heard clearly, but still didn't answer, and when he looked up and saw King Wei staring at him curiously, Du Zongting's eyes began to flicker, and then he lowered his head in shame.

Liu Xu became more and more curious, and walked in front of Du Zongting, "Come with me!" Then he shouted at Jin Wuwei's soldiers: "Jin Wuwei's brothers, all go straight to the prince's mansion with this king, whoever gets Liu Yan's head first, a reward of 100,000 yuan, and a ...... seal."

"Uncle Nine Kings! Don't work hard, my nephew is here to recommend myself! A familiar voice came from the crowd.

Liu Xu's heart was shocked, and he looked forward, and a path flashed out of the team, and a young man wearing a golden crown and a python robe walked out of the crowd, and that person was the crown prince Liu Yan.

Liu Xu was at a loss for an instant, subconsciously took three steps back, and said hesitantly: "This ......" looked at Du Zongting, who was expressionless in front of him, and suddenly understood what was going on, and grabbed Du Zongting's collar with his left hand and asked angrily: "Du Zongting...... This...... What the hell is going on? ”

Du Zongting's eyes were red at this time, and he turned his face helplessly, knowing that he had no face to face King Wei now.

"Uncle Jiuwang, don't be too embarrassed by Lord Du, he is doing this for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji and our Liu family." The crown prince Liu Yanzhi said proudly and sarcastically, "Lord Du is a meritorious minister now, and tomorrow the emperor's grandfather will be rewarded separately!" ”

Liu Yan's sharp ridicule made Liu Xu instantly angry, and he shouted while slashing at Du Zongting with the sword in his right hand: "Traitor, I will kill you......"

Before Liu Xu could cut down with a sword, the two guards next to him had already snatched the sword from Liu Xu's hand and subdued him. Although Liu Xu's arms were held backwards by the two guards, he still kept struggling, and scolded Liu Yan and Du Zongting at the same time: "You dog thieves, I won't let you go even if I go to the Netherworld!" ”

"Uncle Jiuwang, don't you want to know how General Hu is doing now?" The corners of Liu Yan's mouth showed a hint of sly pride.

He ...... How are they? said......" Liu Xu gritted his teeth, eager to eat Liu Yan alive.

Liu Yan shook his head, said with a smug face and a mocking voice: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" Hu Dayou was not only wiped out, but before he stepped out of the south gate, his whole body was shot like a hedgehog. ”

After Liu Xu heard this, tears welled up in an instant, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak, and it took a long time to look up to the sky and shout angrily: "General Hu...... It's me Liu Xu who hurt you! ”

"Huh!" Liu Yan sighed, "Uncle Wang, you don't have to blame yourself, if my nephew also has such a loyal hero, I will be blind to death!" ”

Liu Xu was angry and blood surged up, protruding a mouthful of blood, and then spat on the prince's face with all his strength, "Dog thief, kill me......"

Liu Yan subconsciously wiped his chin, glared at Liu Xu and said, "I'm not as stupid as you!" If you make your own decisions, you will only end up doing it yourself. Then he ordered, "Someone! Escort back! ”

Tonight, the prince's mansion is destined to be sleepless, everyone is immersed in the ecstasy of victory, after a few hours of scheduling, finally put down the rebellion, some soldiers are already a little tired, so the prince prepared thin wine in the hall, specially feasted Xun Mou and Du Zongting. The three of them have been drinking until the fourth watch, and Du Zongting has been smiling and worrying during the banquet.

Xun Mou also saw Du Zongting's thoughts, so he raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Lord Du, if you can do this this time, this credit must be recorded on your head!" Come, I salute you......" said the two of them drank it all.

Liu Yan also took advantage of the wine and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Du, you will follow this palace in the future to ensure that you will always enjoy wealth and prosperity!" Tomorrow's palace will ask the emperor for credit for you. ”

"Your Highness!" Du Zongting only said three words, refused to say anything more, and then drank another glass.

"At present, the thorn in the flesh of Liu Xu, the king of Wei, has been removed, and now there is only the thorn in the eye of Liu Xun, the king of Ning. General Xun doesn't have any tricks! Liu Yan asked Xun Mou with a frown.

Xun Mou smiled slightly and said: "King Ning has been in the dynasty for decades, and there are many of his cronies in the court, if you want to get rid of him, you can only do it slowly, and you must not be as impatient as King Wei." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Yan drank another glass of wine and continued to ask Xun Mou, "What about next?" ”

"This King Ning is like a golden cherry tree full of thorns, if you want to eat it, you must first get rid of the barbs on its body, instead of thinking about how to eat it in one bite!"

"Oh! Right! Liu Yan realized, "General Xun means to get rid of those people around King Ning first, and then get rid of him last?" ”

"Exactly!" Xun Mou nodded, "Not only that, but we also want to install our people in the court." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Now that General Jin Wuwei Hu Dayou is dead, this position will be vacant. ”

Xun Mou thought for a moment, "Now that the emperor is in this position, he must be afraid, and it will be a little difficult for us to install our own people!" ”

The crown prince Liu Yan continued to ask: "Then what should we do now?" ”

"For the sake of today's plan, we still have to win over some talents from this test."

Liu Yan also nodded, "Then what cronies should we get rid of King Ning first?" ”

Xun Mou rolled his eyes, knocked his index finger on the table, and said solemnly: "Lu Zuo! ”

"Lu Zuo?" Liu Yan looked puzzled, and then full of disdain, "Just him?" He is now helpless, he has no official position, he is also known as Luosun Mountain, and he is not a close confidant of King Ning. According to the palace, General Xun is too worried, right? ”

When Liu Yan said that Xun Mou was too worried, he actually thought that Xun Mou was too narrow-minded, and Lu Zuo was just a grass man now, even if he really became King Ning's guest, he wouldn't be able to stir up the situation.

Xun Mou also guessed what Liu Yan was thinking at this time, but he himself knew that Lu Zuo's threat was by no means as simple as a grass people, "If Your Highness wants to inherit the throne smoothly, then please listen to me and get rid of Lu Zuo!" Now with King Wei as an excuse, it is a good time to catch him, otherwise he will have a long night and a lot of dreams! ”

"Okay, don't worry, General Xun, isn't it just a Lu Zuo? I'll have him arrested tomorrow! Liu Yan smiled reluctantly, "General Xun, come and drink, Master Du, don't be stunned, let's do it together!" ”

The next day, it rained continuously, and the capital, which had been sunny for a long time, suddenly began to rain lightly. In the early morning of the spring rain, all the ministers who were ready to go to the early court had been waiting outside the palace gate, and everyone was worried, because the news of the rebellion of the King of Wei last night had spread far and wide, and the whole capital had begun to spread wildly, and everyone was speculating about how the saint would deal with Liu Xu, the king of Wei, today, it was impossible to turn a blind eye as a few days ago, and the "rebellion" touched the bottom line of the Han Emperor.

Seeing that the time of the last dynasty was almost there, the guards blew the horns, the trumpets sounded, the whole earth seemed to tremble, all the officials couldn't help but tremble, and then lined up neatly and walked into the Xuanzheng Palace.
