Zhou Huanchun sighed, "Yes, I almost forgot, then use my identity to press him." ”

The Emperor pondered for a moment and sighed, "I don't blame you, this Moonless Pavilion Lord is too smart. ”

Zhou Huanchun pouted, "That's it, father, Erchen really doesn't want to do this, other people's formulas just don't sell, and Erchen can't help it, otherwise, you can see and let Sister Hengyang try it?" ”

The Emperor shook his head, "I've tried, but no. ”

"Huh? Tried it? Why not? Is there a reason? "Zhou Huanchun pretended to be stupid.

The emperor sighed and said: "The master of Wuyue Pavilion said that she is a businessman, and she can't sell her housekeeping skills, and the prescription given to Hengyang is already very inconsistent with the ancestral teachings."

However, she was saved by Hengyang, and she had nothing to repay, so she sent a prescription that was more important than her life.

This prescription is her ancestral secret recipe, and once it leaks out, smart people will also find new prescriptions based on this kind of prescription and constantly improve it.

The final outcome is that her family's secret recipe is no longer a secret recipe!

She's a businessman, I'm afraid that if the secret recipe is no longer the secret recipe, she won't make so much money, right? ”

Zhou Huanchun snorted, "That's probably what it means, and she has always emphasized that it is a secret recipe." ”

The emperor sighed, "Zhou Ning, you must know that if I don't have a prescription, I will be choked by the throat, and if people want your father to die, your father will have to die!" Ay! Maybe that's fate. ”

Zhou Huanchun frowned, "Father, don't let you say such things again!" Erchen will work hard, and after going back tonight, Erchen will discuss it with Lingmo.

Let's see if there is any strong way to choke the life of the Moon Pavilion Lord and make her willing to offer the medicine!

So, don't say that again, it's easy for a son to have a father...... Whining...... No, Erchen will do his best! ”

As she spoke, her tears fell instantly.

The emperor was almost moved by this crying.

"Oh, princess, why are you crying? Don't cry, hurt your body, don't pay back to the child! Liu Heng comforted.

Zhou Huanchun sobbed and wiped a handful of tears, "Well, okay, don't cry, it's not good to hurt the child." Father, don't worry, your son must come to the prescription!

By the way, Gonggong Liu, send the medicine to check, if there is no problem, one pill a day, the same is true for the elixir, saying that he wants to eat enough seventy-seven forty-nine pills, one pill a day. ”

"Okay, the old slave will go." Liu Heng left with a smile.

When he was about to leave, Zhou Huanchun said to the emperor: "Father, the ministers don't stay there much, go back and discuss with Lingmo quickly." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left.

"You go and send it." Liu Heng hadn't left yet, and the emperor just asked him to send someone away.

Obviously, every time Liu Heng is asked to give it away, he must ask Liu Heng to help say good things, such as if the emperor has something bad to say, no, let Liu Heng make up for it.

After all, in the end, it is not biological, and it is inevitable that something will be done, and it is impossible to be the same as a biological daughter.

If this is his own daughter, he will definitely make the feeling between father and daughter.

In particular, Zhou Huanchun's words just now have confirmed Liu Heng's words.

Zhou Huanchun is actually a child, without a father, it is easy to have a father, so he naturally cherishes it.

Therefore, the emperor asked Liu Heng to go over to replenish it, otherwise, if people's hearts are a little cold, I am afraid that the medicine on his side will not be easy!

On the way, Liu Heng sighed, "Will it ...... this elixir after taking it?" ”

Zhou Huanchun smiled slightly, "What's wrong?" Could it be that Father-in-law Liu repented and couldn't bear it? Or is he treating you well again? ”

Liu Heng shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm worried about the princess, the old slave is so old, it's impossible to say that I'm not afraid of death."

The old man just thought, if there is a problem with this elixir, when the time comes, your Zhou family will be a big crime to be beheaded!

You must know that the treasury has run out of money, and your Zhou family is going to sleep in the money pile!

You say, if the house is raided, how much money does the Zhou family have to fill the treasury? ”

Zhou Huanchun frowned, "What does Father-in-law Liu mean is that our Zhou family's money will be used to fill the treasury?" ”

Liu Heng nodded, "Of course." ”

Zhou Huanchun smiled, "If he really does this, then this dynasty will also have to change dynasties."

Without the Zhou family to drive the market economy and join forces, the imperial court would only be able to get a fixed amount at that time.

If we keep the Zhou family, the market economy will be driven, and our cooperation with neighboring countries will be more capital-oriented.

The existence of the Zhou family will send a steady stream of money to the country, and if you want to move, you should choose some corrupt officials to move, but you should not move the Zhou family. ”

Liu Heng immediately smiled when he heard this: "What the princess said is that the old slave has been taught. ”

After sending Zhou Huanchun away, Liu Heng came back, and the emperor didn't raise his head to deal with the twists, "What did you say?" ”

Liu Heng smiled, "Naturally, the emperor loves her very much, and he thinks about rewarding her every day, but no one is famous, and it is not good to reward."

Then she said, don't reward, as long as the emperor you live.

The old slave mentioned by the way that the treasury may be tight, after all, the Northeast Zhou army has just fought a battle.

But Princess Zhou Ning said that if she killed a few corrupt officials and raided her home, she would be able to recover some silver. ”

"Corrupt officials?" The emperor frowned, "It's not much money to kill them, but at present, if you kill too much, I'm afraid there won't be so many people to replace them." ”

Liu Heng smiled, "Your Majesty, we can look for people early, and if we find someone suitable for replacement, we can kill one or two first." ”

"How much money is there?" The emperor shook his head, "It's still the Zhou family's money that is enough." ”

Liu Heng smiled, "Your Majesty, the old slave has a sentence that I want to say to the emperor." ”

"Say, do we still need to say these things between us?" The Emperor motioned to him.

Liu Heng nodded, "That's the case, Your Majesty, let's not move the Zhou family for the time being." You think, at present, the Zhou family occupies a high position in the market.

Moreover, the Zhou family can drive the market economy! If the Zhou family is really moved, there will be a large group of people whose business cannot continue, at that time, what should I do?

Our Jingguo's economy can't be broken, otherwise, other countries will covet Jingguo even more.

Don't forget, we don't have anyone brave and good at fighting, and now we are all using money.

But if one day, we kill the Zhou family, we can only get a fixed amount of money, for example, the Zhou family has a hundred taels of silver, and the court may consume it within three years.

At that time, what to do? Looking for corrupt officials again? Not to mention the killing, and even, how to fill it, it is not enough.

But if the Zhou family stays, a treasury runs out of money, the Zhou family will take the lead in donating, three years ago, the war in the northwest, wasn't Zhou Lingmo the leader?

This is the first, and the second is that Zhou Lingmo can bring far more benefits to the court than the one hundred taels of silver obtained by killing him.

Your Majesty, you may not have time to think, but the old slave serves the emperor and has time to think, so please ask the emperor to be quiet for a while and think about what the old slave just said. ”

The emperor has been pondering, and since Liu Heng's first sentence, he has not missed it.

In fact, it's not just this time, every time Liu Heng speaks, the emperor will not miss it, after all, he believes in Liu Heng very much, and listens to some good words for the court.

"Okay, what you said, I understand, the Zhou family, don't move for the time being." The Emperor sighed.

Liu Heng smiled, "Your Majesty, we can move, but not now, we can take this elixir for seven hundred and forty-nine days and see the situation." ”

The emperor smiled, "Old treacherous and cunning! ”

"Sent over?" Zhou Lingmo asked.

Zhou Huanchun has just returned home, lying in bed, her belly is already three months pregnant, and the third month is the most dangerous time, but she must toss this month.

Fortunately, Wang Hai is still a famous doctor and has a good control over Zhou Huanchun's body.

"Send it, husband, now I feel a little overwhelmed, and I feel tired after a little movement. Oh no, it's not that I walk around, but I feel very tired when I deal with the emperor and use my brain a little. Zhou Huanchun sighed.

Zhou Lingmo smiled slightly, "Baby, this is the last time, since the medicine has been delivered, you can stay at home with peace of mind." In the fourth month, you will be able to appear as the Lord of the Moonless Pavilion. ”

Zhou Huanchun sighed, "Okay, you let Grandpa Wang check on me, see if I can eat well?" ”

No pregnant woman is as squeamish as her, and she is not a pampered person, but she is squeamish. The reason is that the foundation is not laid, so it is squeamish.

To put it bluntly, a pampered person may not be as squeamish as her body.

Wang Hai came over to check, "It's okay, it's just that maybe you're too tired, don't pretend to have so many things in your heart, don't have too much pressure." Be relaxed and happy. ”

Zhou Huanchun smiled, "Okay, I know." ”

After sending Wang Hai away, Zhou Lingmo's face became solemn, she walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, looking at Zhou Huanchun with a guilty face, "Am I giving you too many tasks?" ”

Zhou Huanchun held his hand when he heard the words and said, "No, Lingmo, don't worry too much." It's not that you give me too many tasks, but I think that our plan can't be wrong.

To put it bluntly, employing people is a kind of bet. What if this Liu Heng temporarily changed his hexagram? This person is used by me, and I don't want to be suspicious, but Liu Heng is different from Xiao Mu. He is the person who has been with the emperor all the year round, and Xiao Mu is a meticulous work that has been trained.

She is not by the emperor's side all the year round, and her sister has been threatened by the emperor, which gives me a chance. But Liu Heng, just by saying that he was afraid that the emperor would kill him, to put it bluntly, if the emperor suddenly sensationalized him, said that he would not kill him, was reluctant to let him go, and even arranged a back road or something for him, you say, what if Liu Heng defected? ”

Zhou Lingmo smiled slightly, "You don't need to worry about this, there are also my people around the emperor, palace maids, eunuchs, Liu Heng is indeed speaking for you." As for the apostasy, it can only be said that it was our bad luck, and it was a big deal, and it was the opposite.

At this time, even if they want to be prepared, it is too late. What's more, recently, I also prevented this from happening, so that there were rumors about Liu Heng in the palace. ”

Zhou Huanchun was stunned, "Huh? Liu Heng's rumors? What did you preach? ”

Zhou Lingmo smiled slightly, "You just wait to watch a good show." ”

Rumors won't start out so quickly, but as time goes on, they will get more and more fermented.

In the fourth month, it was when the rumors were in full bloom, and it was also controlled by Zhou Lingmo behind it.

In the palace

"Liu Heng!" The emperor was furious.

Liu Heng knelt on the ground at this time, lowered his head, sweating like rain, "Your Majesty, the old slave really didn't collude with the six princes!" ”

The emperor snorted coldly, "No collusion? There is no wind and no waves, someone saw you receiving a gift from the Six Princes! Now, I've had people search your room, and if I do find something, don't blame me for being rude to you! ”

Liu Heng suddenly panicked, the things that Zhou Huanchun gave him were all in his room! Usually, his room is not accessible to others, except for the person who cleans the room, no one can enter.

It should be said that no one is qualified to enter, except for the emperor. He has been conscientious for so many years, and there are no bad rumors, so no one will search his room.

But once he searches, then all the locked cabinets he has locked will be turned out! The emperor wants to search, he doesn't need a key, he just smashes the lock, and it's okay!

Liu Heng suddenly understood, perhaps, the time for the emperor to move him had arrived. He never thought that this day would come so quickly, but unfortunately, he took refuge in Zhou Huanchun, and people didn't have time to save him.

Otherwise, for so many years, he has always been praised, why are there such rumors?

He recalled that the information he had reported to the emperor these days and found that the six princes were very powerful. He was forbearant and low-key, but he had started to make moves recently, and after in-depth investigation, he realized that the background of the six princes was so deep!

Even, more powerful than the second prince and the crown prince! Then, if the emperor wants to move the six princes, it is impossible to be unknown, so he can only use him.

After all, he is the closest person to the emperor, and he can provide first-hand information to the six princes, and if he is slandered, he can definitely convict the six princes.

To put it bluntly, even if any of the eunuchs under him are slandered, these six princes may not be able to be pulled into the water, but Liu Heng, his identity is different.

Liu Heng should have thought a long time ago, no matter who the emperor had to deal with in the end, whoever became the first piece of meat to be cut first, he would be the first to be cut, because he was really too powerful!

It's a pity that he didn't think of this earlier! No matter how smart you are, no matter how you mix in the palace, it is not as good as other people's imperial minds. It was taught by the previous emperor himself from childhood to adulthood, and this was a secret teaching, he couldn't learn it, he couldn't hear it.

"Your Majesty, these are all searched from Gonggong Liu's room!"

With a thud, one of the guards lifted the box out.

Liu Heng glanced at it, his face was like ashes, most of these were given to him by Zhou Huanchun, for such a long time, Zhou Huanchun did not send many things, but they were all valuable.

Now, I'm afraid that the emperor will use it for a real time. Probably, the emperor didn't expect that he really had valuables.

Liu Heng sighed and said in his heart: That's it, do a good deed when you die, and protect the Zhou family!

Originally, the person who was most afraid of death didn't expect to be so calm before he died. Liu Heng thought that before he died, he was afraid that he would cry and beg the emperor to spare his life, and play all kinds of emotional cards.

However, that is just a thought, not a real thing. Only when it really happened, when you were there, did you know that it turned out to be nothing more than that.

"Bold Liu Heng!" The emperor's angry nose was about to be crooked, he took all the folds on the table to smash Liu Heng, and shouted angrily: "In vain, I treat you so sincerely, you actually colluded with the six princes, wanted to seek power and usurp the throne, and betrayed the lord for glory!" Are you worthy of me!? ”

Liu Heng only became the emperor because he was surprised that he really had valuables, so he had to sigh and say: "Your Majesty, the old slave doesn't explain much, it doesn't matter whether this was framed by someone with a heart, or whether the old slave really received it." If you want to kill, kill it. ”

"Pull it out and cut it, cut it!" The Emperor said angrily.

The guard hesitated for a moment, and immediately gave up, "Your Majesty, Gonggong Liu is the head of the Great Interior, and his position should not be cut directly, it will be criticized by the world." Your Majesty, this matter involves internal affairs of the royal family, and it should be handed over to Long Xuansi. ”

The emperor took a deep breath, calmed down, and narrowed his eyes, "Hand over to Long Xuansi!" ”

"Yes!" The guards escorted the men away.

Liu Heng was quietly along the way, escorting him, a total of three guards, the guards led by him looked around, and said to Liu Heng: "I went to Long Xuansi, and to tell the truth directly, these were all given by Princess Zhou Ning." ”

Then, the guards showed a sign, which was Zhou Huanchun's sign for entering the palace, which was the emperor's licensed brand, specially made for Zhou Huanchun.

He was stunned, "This ......?" ”

The guard nodded, "What the princess ordered, just do it, push it on the princess, and you can be acquitted." ”

Liu Heng frowned and kept a thoughtful eye, "I don't know what you're talking about, how can the princess's brand be in your hands?" ”

He suspected that the reason why he had such rumors was that the emperor wanted to move him, but could it be that he had secretly moved the Zhou family? If it was really secretly moved, then this brand may really be taken back.

moved the Zhou family, maybe there is no place to convict, if he opens his mouth to frame him, the Zhou family will really be passive. Anyway, what if it is the emperor who kills three birds with one stone?

To put it bluntly, even if he confesses to the Zhou family, in the end, the confession will definitely be changed, and it will be changed to the fact that he colluded with the Zhou family and the six princes, so the six princes and the Zhou family will be related.

Why did the Zhou family and the six princes give him gifts? The reason is that he is the matchmaker between the Zhou family and the Six Princes. For such a long time, the six princes forbearance and acted in secret, this is something that everyone knows, and it is not impossible to say that he secretly colluded with the Zhou family.

The reason why it was not discovered was because Liu Heng, the middleman, was pulling the strings. And who is Liu Heng? He is the person next to the emperor, so isn't it that what he says, the emperor believes in it?

Therefore, this matter is reasonable and logical, and if the emperor makes another play, everyone will sympathize with the emperor.

After arriving at Long Xuansi, Liu Heng was locked up without any discrimination, and only waited for dawn to start the trial.

"Master, the words have been delivered, but what Gonggong Liu said is very strange, he said, I don't know what his subordinates said!" The guard who showed Liu Heng the sign just now had just changed the guard and sneaked out.

Zhou Lingmo and Zhou Huanchun were stunned at the same time, Zhou Lingmo frowned, "Did you show him the sign?" ”

The guard nodded, "Yes, it was only after reading it that he said so." ”

Zhou Lingmo and Zhou Huanchun glanced at each other, saw Zhou Huanchun pinching his chin, and pondered: "Maybe things are not good, Gonggong Liu is afraid that he wants to protect us, so he will really frame the six princes." ”

"Long Genji's place, there is no way to communicate secretly." Zhou Lingmo was also worried.

Zhou Huanchun pondered for a while and said: "There is no need to send a letter, prison visits are still allowed, in places like Long Xuansi, if you visit the prison, they feel that this is an opportunity for them, if someone is found to be colluding, they can just get the handle."

Anyway, Long Xuansi had to be monitored throughout the whole process, and when we went, we told the truth, this thing was given by me. ”

Zhou Lingmo nodded, "Well, Liu Heng is an opportunity, if he doesn't say so, the emperor can't do it to us first, and we can't act first." ”

They act first, and the emperor does it against them, which is different. People all over the world are watching, Zhou Lingmo wants to rebel, but taking the initiative to rebel and being forced to rebel are two different things!

If he wants to gain a foothold in the mall in the future, he must be forced to do so. In this way, the new emperor will succeed to the throne, and the Zhou family can continue to develop.

Zhou Huanchun followed Zhou Lingmo and went to Long Xuansi together. Prison visits need to be registered, and once they have registered, they will be accompanied by a commissioner who will record every word they say.

Even, if they speak quickly, they will be interrupted, and they must finish writing before they can continue to speak, in short, in Long Xuansi, no matter who the people who come in, they can't put on an official show, they are the boss.

As long as you are out of the Dragon Genji, they can also be grandsons. This is the rule given by the emperor, and no one can change it.

"Liu Heng, someone is coming to visit the prison, come out!" An official messenger opened the cell door for Liu Heng.

Liu Heng's hands and feet were handcuffed by iron chains at this time, and when he walked, there was a pimple sound.

"Princess?" Liu Heng was relieved to see that Zhou Huanchun was still in front of him. It turned out that she was talking about visiting the prison, and he was still thinking about whether it would be the emperor.

Sure enough, I thought about it too much, since I was already able to send him to Long Xuansi, how could he come to this place in person? Even if you want to see him, I'm afraid you have to ask for trial, and it is absolutely impossible to come to such an obscure place.

What is he, he is just an old slave, he treats the emperor as a relative, and the emperor only treats him as a tool to use.

Zhou Huanchun smiled, "Gonggong Liu, we have known each other after all, and I should come to see you." However, with my understanding of Gonggong Liu, this matter must be framed, you tell the truth, whoever gives you something, say who gave it to you. If it's not something that someone gave you, don't say it, let's be free from the pain of flesh and skin, aren't we? ”

Liu Heng sighed, "The old slave knows." ”
