CHAPTER XLVII

Since King Qi ascended the throne as an emperor, he has been thinking about how to take revenge on the loyal general Liu Guohui, he is a villain, and he will be repaid, not to mention that this loyal general refused the old emperor's marriage, and married his daughter to a general, which does not mean that he King Qi is not as good as a subordinate, so that he can save face in Tanzhou and even the entire Jin Kingdom! Now that he has just mastered the situation, he is just taking General Zhongwu to open the knife.

Emperor Shi Zhong of Jin called Ma Ping: "You go and get a copy of the evidence of Liu Guohui's rebellion, remember to make it false and true, and then hand it over to Feng Dao, I want to see how Feng Dao, the old man, makes a choice." ”

"Yes." Ma Ping went to do it immediately. Now Ma Ping is already the front secretary of the palace, he has always been Shi Chong's cronies, and all secret things, things that go against common sense, Shi Chong is entrusted to him.

After a month, Feng Dao stood up to impeach General Zhongwu: "The minister impeached General Zhongwu Liu Guohui for colluding with the Khitan and Shu people, intending to rebel, and has been passing on the secrets of our country to Shu for many years. ”

Emperor Jin Shi squinted his eyes, this old horseman is really going to judge the situation, spare you one yard first, and then see how you perform in the future.

The head official of the palace hurriedly took the letter and held it in front of Emperor Shi Chong of the Jin Dynasty, Shi Zhong took the letter and glanced at it hastily, and said sharply: "Give me the general Zhongwu to take down, put him on death row, and behead all over the house!" ”

General Liu didn't argue, but only said: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse!" "Let the forbidden army tie him up and escort him out.

Shang Guogong was anxious, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this loyal general is upright, not like a person who has done such a rebellious thing, whether the emperor can order someone to investigate is a matter of conclusion." "Shang Guogong Shang Yifeng is a person who has made great contributions to the founding of the country, and the first emperor also let him when he was in power, and now he stands up to speak for General Zhongwu, and many courtiers are relieved.

Emperor Shi of Jin said with a calm face: "Guogong, this is the evidence that Feng Xiang has taken out, since the investigation is careful, you also know that the relationship between Feng Xiang and General Zhongwu is acceptable, there is no conclusive evidence, how can Feng Xiang frame him, needless to say, for those who plot rebellion, there will be no mercy, whoever dares to speak for Liu Guohui will be punished according to the same crime!" ”

Shang Guogong looked at Feng Dao, looking at the high Jin Emperor Shi Chong, it was not good to say anything, knowing that General Zhongwu was framed, but in the current situation, he could only ask for more blessings, and there was no way.

The other courtiers in the palace all knew that General Zhongwu had offended Emperor Jin because of his children's affairs, and now Emperor Jin was cleaning up the courtiers, excluding dissidents, and taking General Liu under the knife, even if some wanted to stand up and say a few words for General Liu, they didn't dare.

General Liu expected that the king of Qi would not let him go when he ascended the throne as early as when the old emperor died, so he repaired the book to Liu Yibai, the eldest son of Bianguan, and Liu Yihan, the second son, so that they could be prepared. Afraid that there would be problems with the letter, he specially ordered his cronies to go to the border and deliver the letter in person. He called Liu Yan forward and ordered, "Yan'er, Dad has something to ask you." ”

Liu Yan said: "If Daddy has something to do, even if he tells him, the child will definitely do it well." ”

"Dad wants you and Zhou Yuandong to escort your two sisters-in-law and children to Yizhou, the border pass."

"Why? According to the regulations, family members can't go to the border with the army, why is my father like this? Liu Yan wondered.

"Child, dad has no choice, now that King Qi has ascended the throne, if you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave." General Liu sighed, he knew that Liu Yan was reasonable.

Saying this, she already understood, and said hurriedly: "Daddy, and grandmother, eldest lady, what should I do with my mother?" ”

"Can't go too much, too obviously. There can only be one less one, and when you arrive safely, I am thinking of a way, now that King Qi is busy ascending the throne, he can't take care of us, so he can't miss this opportunity. General Liu shook his head helplessly.

"Daddy, it's all my daughter's fault, it's better to get married than to ......get married in the first place if you cause such a disaster," Liu Yan knelt down and cried.

"Child, the world is impermanent, you don't have to blame yourself, King Qi has such a character, a woman is just an ant in his eyes, what he wants is your father's obedience, even if there is no you, your father will not escape fate, such a person can ascend to the Ninety-Five, it is really a creation and a man!" General Liu was in tears. "Leave tomorrow, you dress up as an ordinary person, and you must not reveal your identity on the road."

Liu Yan somewhat understood her father's intentions in her heart and nodded. The next day, he dressed up in disguise, divided into two carriages with Zhou Yuandong, and took the eldest brother and the second brother's family out of the city respectively.

Qi Wangshi was busy with the matter of ascending the throne, which happened to let General Liu take advantage of the loophole, and the families of the two sons were basically unhindered, and arrived in the border city of Yizhou a month later, hid in the city, and joined Liu Yibai and Liu Yihan.

At the junction of Yizhou and Shu, Liu Yibai got a customs clearance document and prepared to flee to Shu with them. Liu Yan was worried about her father, and refused to leave anything, so she deceived her two brothers to go first, but the two brothers were helpless, so they listened to their sister's suggestion and sent them to Shu first, and then came back to find a way to save their father.

Sending off her two brothers and sisters-in-law, Liu Yan said to Zhou Yuandong: "You can go too, don't go back to Tanzhou, it's dangerous there." ”

Zhou Yuandong was willing to go, and said: "I will go wherever Miss goes, you don't have to persuade me." ”

"No, I don't want you to follow, hurry up!" Liu Yan was angry.

"Miss, I have followed the general since I was a child, he treated me like his own son, now that the general has something, how can I stand by and watch, you let me go, do you want me to regret it for life! I'm not going! ”

Liu Yan knew that Zhou Yuandong was not only a brother and sister to her, but more of a love for her, but she really just treated him as a brother, and that day her father ordered her to marry Zhou Yuandong, knowing that it was her father's expedient measure, and also knowing that her father felt that Zhou Yuandong would be able to protect him and entrust him for life, so he promised her to Zhou Yuandong.

Since Liu Yan married Zhou Yuandong, he never forced her, knowing that he was just unrequited love, he hid his love in the bottom of his heart, was considerate to her, and accommodating everything, and the two have been sleeping in separate rooms, nominally husband and wife.

Liu Yan saw that Zhou Yuandong was stubborn, so she said: "Okay, but the future is slim, life and death are uncertain, please be careful in everything, don't lose my life because of me, then I will be very heartbroken......"

"Sister, don't worry, my brother won't be so stupid and will protect himself." Zhou Yuandong said with a smile, looking at Liu Yan softly, slightly distracted, as long as the two of them can be together, they will be content to look at herself, so what's the matter if she dies, Zhou Yuandong thought, there was a faint expectation in his heart.

The two mounted their horses and returned the way they came.

When the holy decree came down, when the guards went to raid the house and get people, General Liu's mother and his two wives were left in the Zhongwu General's Mansion, as well as some subordinates who were unwilling to leave.

Emperor Shi of the Jin Dynasty was so angry that he ordered someone to immediately arrest General Liu's son and daughter and other family members, and kill them.
