Liu Yu looked at his brother sincerely and seriously: "Second brother, whether you believe it or not, I didn't think about being a prince, I didn't want to be an emperor, I just wanted to assist you, I just wanted to be a respected person like you!"

Liu Xu patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "Seventh brother, have you ever thought about the reason why your father and emperor value you so much recently?"

Liu Yu scratched his head and said, "I've thought about it, but I can't figure it out." When I was young, my father didn't like me very much, thinking that I was too cowardly, and I didn't have any extraordinary talent, and he only had you and the fifth brother in his eyes. ”

Liu Xu said with a straight face: "My father will value it so much, and even hope to entrust the country to you, because you have something that we don't have in you, that is, benevolence." You are broad-minded and kind-hearted, and if you ascend the throne as emperor in the future, you will definitely be able to treat your brothers and your subjects well. ”

After a pause, Liu Xu thought for a while and said: "I have been fighting with my fifth brother for many years, and we have a deep grudge against each other, presumably my father has seen that after any one of us ascends the throne, the other party will have no way to live, so I hope to pass on the throne to you, only you can guarantee that our brothers can get a good death!"

Swallowing his saliva, Liu Xu sighed lightly: "When my father was young, he was decisive in killing, but today, he is still old, and when he is old, he is easy to be soft-hearted, easy to recall the past, and hope to arrange the future of his children and grandchildren." ”

It is precisely because his father reuses the seventh brother that Liu Xu can keenly feel that his father is different from the ruthless man ten years ago, he is betting on his soft-heartedness, so he can turn it over so decisively in the case of the first prince!

Liu Yu was a little frightened, lowered his eyes and said: "Second brother, I can understand what you mean, for the time being, assuming that my father really has this plan, I don't want to, I think I can't compare to you and the fifth brother, I'm afraid that I can't do well, I'm afraid that I will lose the people of the country and the ancestors!"

Liu Xu held Liu Yu's hand and said with a smile: "If that day really comes, you remember that there is still the second brother, and the second brother will become your right-hand man!"

Liu Yu scratched his forehead embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Let's leave the prison first." I'm worried about my mother now, my mother is timid, she should be scared, but the imperial grandmother should comfort her, right?"

At this time, Mo Ziyu and the third lady also came to Fengxi Palace to see the Queen Mother.

Seeing their anxious faces, Mama was not embarrassed, and took them in directly.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Liu Changqing trotted in front of Mo Ziyu and whispered: "Concubine Li is inside, I just heard the Queen Mother persuade Concubine Li Niangniang and tell her not to worry, saying that His Majesty now has high hopes for King Zhao and will not do anything to King Zhao, but he did not mention his father." Concubine Jiang, my father will be fine, right?"

Mo Ziyu looked at the young man in front of him, stared at his eyes and said, "Do you believe in your father?"

Liu Changqing was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Mo Ziyu continued: "In this case, you should go to school, you should practice martial arts, no matter who tells you what is a big deal, you must keep your senses, it is best not to pay attention to anything, and do not take anything to heart! And remember one thing, no matter what happens, with us, you must not come to your majesty to intercede for your father! You now have the protection of the Queen Mother, no one dares to touch you, and you must remember that the most important thing for you now is to protect yourself!"

Changqing understood. Liu Changqing nodded, "Changqing won't make trouble for you." ”

"Good boy!" Mo Ziyu patted Liu Changqing on the shoulder, "Take care of yourself!"

After instructing Liu Changqing, Mo Ziyu and the third lady came to the palace, and sure enough, when they saw Concubine Li, Concubine Li's eyes were red, obviously she had just cried.

"Sit down. The Queen Mother said, "The mourning family knows what you are here for. Now that His Majesty is angry, the mourning family can't persuade him, so let's wait for His Majesty to lose his anger. ”

"Queen Mother, can we go and meet King Qi?" the third lady asked.

The Queen Mother thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's good for you to go and see him, King Qi is not convinced, you go and persuade him." There is no overnight feud between father and son, so let King Qi admit his mistake to His Majesty and not mention that matter in the future. King Qi also has to think about His Majesty, His Majesty is his father after all, and now he is not young, and they are not hairy boys anymore, why are they so impulsive, if His Majesty is angry, they can afford it?"

"Queen Mother, the premise of admitting mistakes is to know that you are wrong, in terms of King Qi's personality, since he dares to recklessly explain this matter to His Majesty above the court, it means that in his heart, he feels that this matter is right, his temper Queen Mother should know very well, for the things he identifies, it is to admit death, and it is impossible for him to admit his mistakes!" Mo Ziyu said.

"Then tell me, what should I do?" The Queen Mother looked at Mo Ziyu and said, "Do you have a better way?"

Mo Ziyu knelt on the ground, bit her lip, raised her eyes to look at the Queen Mother and said, "The concubine thinks that the prince has done nothing wrong!"

"Presumptuous!" the Queen Mother slapped the table fiercely, "You gentlemen do things, they don't care about the consequences, and they are full of blood, don't you think about the consequences? Don't think about admonishment, but echo one another! Right and wrong, how can there be so many rights and wrongs in everything? For the sake of the right and wrong of what you do, don't you even want the father and son Gangchang? Even if the prince wants to get what he wants, this Gangchang is not always there, isn't it the same to be laughed at by the world?"

"Queen Mother!" Mo Ziyu kowtowed to the Queen Mother, "The prince was raised by the former queen, and was taken care of by the first prince, they were wronged, and he shouted for them that this is filial piety, and if someone really framed the former prince back then, then this person caused so many deaths, how many people were toyed with and applauded, and this person was found out, which is to eliminate harm for the country, and this is loyalty." At that time, the prince's friend and teacher, countless people were implicated in that incident, or executed or exiled, and it was righteous to seek justice for them. The prince is benevolent and righteous, and puts life and death aside, and the concubines admire him. No matter what, from that point of view, the concubine can't feel that the prince has done something wrong. ”

"Hmph. The Queen Mother sneered, "You are quite good at speaking for King Qi, but this matter is not easy to turn the page, if it is mentioned again, there may be countless people who shed blood and sacrifice for it, King Qi can fulfill his good name, what about those who died for this matter?"

"Your Majesty is benevolent, and you will definitely not implicate the innocent!" Mo Ziyu said with a firm look in his eyes, "Queen Mother, you can't dare to open the scars of the past because of too much blood shed in the past, you can't revisit it because the past has too much impact, if you can't really figure out the ins and outs of the matter, if you can't find out the murderer who caused so many people to shed blood and sacrifice, this is the biggest betrayal, the betrayal of those who are loyal to the society, and the betrayal of those who are finally righteous!"

"Shut up. The Queen Mother pointed at Mo Ziyu and scolded sharply, "Are you tired of living, or do you think that you don't dare to kill you after saving the mourning family?"

"Your Majesty, too many people were implicated in the case of the former prince back then, since there is a doubt in this matter, can this suspicion be explained clearly, so that the descendants of those who have been implicated can understand it in their hearts?" Rather than let all kinds of speculation run rampant, it is better to try this case openly and strangle all rumors in the cradle!"

"You!" the Queen Mother pressed her temples with a headache, "Why don't you think about Your Majesty?"

Time flies so fast, even His Majesty has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, she is pregnant with the child who is waiting to be fed, and now she has become an old man.

How good it would be if the prince's affairs were so confused, if His Majesty knew that he was confused back then, that he didn't trust his son, and that he personally ordered his son to be executed, what a blow it would be to him!

His Majesty is planning for his sons, and he clearly hopes that his sons can survive and live well!

"Queen Mother!" Concubine Li called worriedly, "Are you okay?"

The Queen Mother waved her hand and sighed: "You all go down, let the mourning family be quiet!"

"Yes!"

Concubine Li and the other three retreated.

After leaving Fengxi Palace, although Concubine Li was worried on her face, she still kindly persuaded: "You don't have to worry too much, the Queen Mother will not watch King Qi and King Zhao have an accident, it is all Your Majesty's blood and bones, the Queen Mother is baby! Your Majesty is angry now, and when he is angry, maybe there is a turning point in this matter, and besides, although the Queen Mother is also angry now, the Queen Mother will definitely talk to King Zhao for King Qi." ”

"That's what Concubine Li said. Mo Ziyu smiled faintly, "The concubine also believes that Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, King Qi and King Zhao will be fine!"

Concubine Li was still worried in her heart, so she didn't say anything to Mo Ziyu and the others, and left first.

Mo Ziyu didn't plan to go out of the palace now, the purpose of her entering the palace today was not only to test the queen mother's attitude, but also to go to another place.

"Third lady, accompany me to another place. Mo Ziyu paused and said.

The third lady frowned suspiciously: "What place?"

"Let's go and meet with Noble Yu. Mo Ziyu said lightly.

The third lady became more and more puzzled: "What are you going to do to see her at this time?"

"I heard that the bedroom of the Yu nobles is next to the Yun nobles!" Mo Ziyu said lightly, "Since you are here, let's go and meet you by the way." ”
