"How did the gentleman find out? General Liu has done his best for the country for many years, and I don't think it is appropriate for Mr. to say this. "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, do you know that Liu Shangshu went out of the city today to greet Niangniangzi Palace?" "Of course I know that I asked him to do it." "Prince Shen personally sent the coffin, but he was disrespectful and greeted Niangniang Zigong, but he didn't even get off the horse, this person has no monarch in his eyes." If Mr. is true of this, then he really has to think about it in the long run, but now is the time of crisis, it is the time of employing people, and Mr. still does not say this kind of thing. When the situation settles down, I will ask my father to dispose of him. ”

The two of them said, and unconsciously arrived in front of the queen's palace, and the Taifu said: "The harem is forbidden, and it is inconvenient for the foreign ministers to enter, His Royal Highness the Prince, please, the old ministers will retire." "Tianjiao came to the hall, but found Liu Huizu kneeling in front of the spirit." Uncle, what are you doing here? "The sinner has come to ask the mother for his guilt." "What is the sin?" "The criminal failed to avenge his mother, and personally slashed Prince Shen's yellow-mouthed child." "Uncle, Prince Shen is here to see off my mother, you shouldn't use the sword at this time, this matter can't be rude, you have done it thoroughly." "Thank you, His Royal Highness the Prince, but the guilty minister is still sad, the queen is the mother of the country, the mother of the world, the minister failed to avenge his mother, it is the minister's regret!" "Okay, uncle, there will always be a chance to fight on the battlefield, and it will not be too late then." "Since His Royal Highness said it, the minister made a military order and swore to kill Prince Shen to avenge his mother. The harem was heavy, and the minister couldn't stay for a long time, so he retired. ”

Liu Huizu returned to the house and instructed his subordinates: "What about the drama I brought back today?" Let him come to me. The servant hurried out, and after a while, he hurried back: "Master, he, he said that he didn't have time to see you, and asked you to take the time to see him." Liu Huizu stood up from the chair suddenly: "It's the opposite!" Where is he? "In the backyard." "Take me to him!" When I arrived in the backyard, I saw that Chu Weimin was splitting piece by piece. "What are you doing here?" "The housekeeper said, I'm a play, if I want to have something to eat, I have to do some work by myself, don't let the master support me for nothing." Liu Huizu was a little embarrassed: "Sir, the housekeeper in the house doesn't know how to be polite, and he knows that you are a distinguished guest invited by me, so he wants to be so lazy, and he will give the order to beat this housekeeper and expel him from the Liu family, and never use it again." By the way, other homes are not allowed to use it. ”

The subordinates understood and retreated. Liu Huizu pulled Chu Weimin into his room in the front yard: "Sir, according to what you said today, I went to the harem to guard the queen's spirit, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't have any special expression." "Didn't you go to the dormitory with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" "No, the prince was talking to the prince at that time, so I went by myself." "My lord! How did you forget! Foreign ministers can't easily enter the harem, you enter the harem so easily, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must suspect that the guards of the harem are your cronies, and if you want him to believe in you when the time comes, I'm afraid you can't. ”

"Sir, you are not from the harem, how can you be so clear about the rules?" Chu Weimin smiled: "I don't know, but he knows." "Who?" Chu Weimin took out a puppeteer, and saw that the puppet was about a foot long, with a golden jade robe engraved on its body, a golden silk crown, and a pair of dark boots on its feet, on which dragons and phoenixes were depicted. "Sir, this thing is." "He is my junior brother, called Lu Tong." "Senior brother?" "Exactly, he told me these things, and he also told me that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already afraid of you, and I hope you can make plans as soon as possible." "What are you going to do? Can I still stand on my own feet? ”

"My lord, there is no need for you to set yourself up as a king, as long as Your Majesty reigns for one day, your glory and wealth will be inexhaustible." "Although Your Majesty is sick in bed now, it is not completely ignorant of the outside world, the prince is fledgling, and it is difficult to achieve great things." "My lord, the prince, after all, he is a prince, and he is fledgling, but there will always be a day when he is full-fledged, don't you think about yourself?" "I understand your words, I'll think about it. Is this your puppet show, just this puppet? "Of course, he's not the only one, please see, my lord." He took out a large wooden box from the cabinet, opened the box, and turned to Liu Huizu's side: "My lord, please take a look." ”

I saw dozens of puppets neatly arranged in the wooden box, the same as Lu Tong, but they looked different and dressed. Liu Huizu was surprised: "Sir, is this your puppet?" Chu Weimin nodded: "Exactly, they each have their own names." You see, this taller one is King Xiang in ancient times, and the one next to him is his concubine; This is the king of Zhuangxiang of the ancient Qin State, and this is the first king of the ancient New Qin State. Liu Huizu nodded again and again, "Can I see Mr.'s puppet show?" ”

Puppet show, said to be a play, is actually a person fiddling with these puppets and singing opera on stage. Liu Huizu never took these lowly people in his eyes, but what he saw today actually surprised him. He was determined to take a look at these plays, which he could only do on the street and could not be on the stage. "Please give me some time to prepare, it's getting late today, and tomorrow at this time, I will give you a satisfactory performance."

Outside the Qinzheng Palace, Liu Huizu smiled and handed a dozen silver tickets to the chief attendant: "Sir, how is Your Majesty's dragon body?" "Your Majesty's dragon body is fine, it's just that because of the queen's affairs, she is low-willed and has no energy to deal with government affairs." "Please also ask Sir to help me communicate to Your Majesty, and say that I have an urgent military situation to report." The chief chamberlain hurried in and came out in a few moments. "Your Majesty, please come in."

In the hall, a middle-aged man was lying on the dragon bed depressedly, saw him come in, and nodded: "Zihui, this early in the morning, you are here, let's say, what's the matter." "Your Majesty, the spies outside the city have come to report that the rebels have withdrawn, and Gyeonggi has no worries." "I know, you see, I have been in poor health recently, and if there is anything, you can tell the prince." Just as he wanted to lie down, Liu Huizu knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just a child, things in the army are unpredictable, he may not be able to get a big idea, he still has to rely on Your Majesty!" "Look at the Qin Wang Army, can you succeed in destroying the rebels?" "Your Majesty, King Qin's army is known as an army of 600,000 and will definitely be able to exterminate the rebels." He sighed: "In this rebellion, Da Zhou is afraid that he will not be able to regain his vitality for more than ten years." ”
