What does silence mean?

Disobedient, there are still objections.

"What do you mean by that?" Seeing that Ren Ji did not agree for a long time, Liu Tong asked.

"Master, do you think I can invite Prince Zhao back to China? Not necessarily. ”

"Why is that?" After listening to Ren Ji's words, Liu Tong asked puzzled.

"Sir, under normal circumstances, in this case, there is a palace attendant to give orders; Now that the monarch is seriously ill, so many of the inner servants have no one to pass the order, but I am an outsider who went to the capital of the Zhou royal family to ask the prince Zhao to return to China. If you were the prince, would you return to China with me? ”

Ren Ji's words reminded Liu Tong at once.

That is, ah!

"I was so busy that I forgot that there was such a stubble. In your opinion, who should you choose to go to Hokyo? ”

"The chief of the chamberlain is the best choice, and the minister is willing to follow the chief of the chamberlain to Haojing to invite Prince Zhao to return to China."

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a retainer who said that Liu Tong was the head of the family, and Ren was a retainer. Therefore, Ren Ji also called himself a courtier in front of Liu Tong.

"The chief chamberlain?" After listening to Ren Ji's answer, Liu Tong pondered, "I just don't know if he will be to us in his heart?" ”

Ren Ji smiled when he heard this, "The master is too worried, so far the master has not done anything out of the ordinary." On the contrary, since Jun Shang was injured, the old man has been by Jun Shang's side, not leaving an inch. What is there to say about the chief chamberlain? ”

Ren Ji's words immediately reminded Liu Tong, "Someone is here, please come over." ”

"No---"

The chief chamberlain soon came here, "What's the matter with Xiangguo looking for a minion?" ”

"Lord Steward, Your Excellency has been injured for many days, and it has not improved for a long time, do you think we should report the situation here to the prince Zhao of Hojing?" After seeing the manager, Liu Tong asked in a different tone of discussion.

"This?" These days, Liu Tong has the final say in and outside the palace, and today Liu Tong actually discussed this matter with himself, and the chief attendant was a little surprised, "You are the prime minister of the scattered country, do you need to report the situation here to the crown prince, and you need to decide." I'm just an errand runner, and I'll do whatever adults want me to do. ”

Cunning, big cunning.

Liu Tong smiled after hearing this, "The monarch has been unconscious, I think it is better to invite the prince back first, in case there are three long and two short, and the country will also have someone to take care of it." ”

"Lord Xiangguo is right, you should indeed invite the prince back." The chief chamberlain continued.

"Then please trouble the chief manager to go with my family head Ren Ji and ask Prince Zhao to return to China to preside over state affairs." Since people were unwilling to express their position, Liu Tong arranged for the two.

"Okay, then I'll get ready and go first." With that, the chief chamberlain walked out.

"Okay." Then Liu Tong turned to Ren Ji and said, "You should also hurry up and prepare and set off with him." In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the crown prince, bring more soldiers and horses. ”

"Okay." Ren replied.

Sanpan has been in a coma for three days. He lay quietly in the palace without eating, drinking, or moving, as if he had died.

Liu Tong walked in, looked at the motionless loose plate, and said silently: "Your Majesty, Minister Liu Tong sees that you are here." It is precisely because he met the king in this life that he has the future and destiny of the minister. What a pity! What will you do in the future? ”

Saying that, Liu Tong was a little sad and couldn't help but leave tears.

Liu Tong continued: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that Prince Zhao has prejudices against his ministers, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get along in the future!" ”

At this time, Liu Tong told his inner thoughts in the face of this silent loose plate, of course, he still didn't dare to say that he planned to control Prince Zhao with Shi Kai, and he was a little sleepy when he talked about it.

"The widow knows your troubles." Just when Liu Tong was in a daze, he suddenly heard Sanpan speak.

Liu Tong's eyes widened in surprise, only to see that the loose plate that had been in a coma for several days opened his eyes slightly, and said softly to Liu Tong.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Liu Tong asked in surprise.

"Hmm---" The loose plate didn't say much, just a faint hum.

"When you wake up, all problems will be solved. I'll ask the chamberlain to prepare food for you. Seeing that the monarch woke up, Liu Tong hurriedly said.

"No, the widow doesn't want to eat." Loose plate said softly.

Liu Tong knelt down and grabbed the hand of the loose plate and said: "The king is scared to death Weichen, and the minister is still worried that you will have three long and two short?" The minister is guilty, he shouldn't have invited the king to hunt! ”

Loose plate said: "This is a fate of a widow, you can't escape, you don't have to blame yourself." But the widow is still worried about you before he dies, and he always feels that he can't die now. ”

The monarch and the minister have been together for a long time, and they also have feelings. When Liu Tong heard that Sanpanzi was still thinking about his future before he died, his tears couldn't stop flowing, "Don't say this, the minister only hopes that the king can recover as soon as possible." ”

Sanpan shook his head lightly, and said with a miserable smile: "It's impossible, the widow's life is not long." After the death of the widow, you should leave the scattered country quickly, and do not covet the glory and wealth here, and leave early. After that, he passed out again.

Liu Tong looked at the monarch who was unconscious again, and his heart was mixed.

At this time, Ren Ji and the head of the chamberlain rushed to Hojing non-stop, and rushed to Hojing that night.

The two briefly discussed, and the chief chamberlain came forward to go to the Xia Guangong Palace early tomorrow morning to explain the matter to the crown prince.

As Ren Ji guessed, when the chief of the chamberlain explained the situation to Prince Zhao about the situation of the country, Prince Zhao explained the situation to Xia Guanda Sima without saying a word, and prepared to return to China.

Accompanied by the chief chamberlain, Prince Zhao drove out of Haojing, the capital of the Zhou royal family, in a car and headed west.

After walking not far away, I saw a team of soldiers and horses waiting on the side of the road in front of me, led by Liu Tong's family head.

Ren Ji was waiting for him here, which surprised Prince Zhao, "What are you doing here?" ”

"My father-in-law is worried about the safety of the prince, so he arranged for Weichen to escort him here." Ren replied.

"Hmph---, what kind of heart does Liu Tong." Then Prince Zhao waved his hand and said to Ren Ji: "You go, I don't need anyone to protect me." ”

Prince Zhao said to stop, and the coachman hurried to the west.

Ren Ji was stunned, waved his hand and ordered the soldiers and horses behind him: "Keep up with the car in front." ”

"Nuo ---" then led the soldiers and horses to follow the chariot of Prince Zhao and traveled all the way to the west.

Although Sanguo is hundreds of miles away from Hojing, people are in a hurry, and when the sunset sprinkles the afterglow on the head of Sancheng, Prince Zhao's car drove back to the palace of King San.

Jumping out of the car, Prince Zhao trotted all the way to the palace, and when he entered the palace of his father, he saw Liu Tong, the prime minister of Sanguo, and Shi Kai, the general of Sancheng, staying in the palace early.

Seeing the two, Prince Zhao was a little surprised, "Why are you here?" ”

"Chen Liu Tong has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Liu Tong did not answer, but greeted Dao.

"I've seen the prince." Shi Kai also bowed.

"Here's the thing, Jun Shang went out a few days ago and was frightened by the car, fell from the car, was seriously injured, and has been in a coma for many days. The ministers were worried, so they ordered the prince to be invited back to China. I hope the prince will forgive me. Then Liu Tong politely said to Prince Zhao, "Because we are worried about the condition of the king, we have been staying here and obeying the dispatch of the king and the prince at any time." ”

After listening to Liu Tong's explanation, Prince Zhao looked disdainful, "Hmph---, my monarch's father was originally in good health, how did he go out to hunt once and become what he is today." How did you become a prime minister? Prince Zhao asked sharply, "And as a general of Sancheng, what kind of heart are you doing?" ”

Wrong, Prince Zhao, you are really wrong, just talk about Liu Tong, and ask Shi Kai is your fault.

"The minister is guilty, and the minister should not let the king go out hunting." Liu Tong blamed himself again and again.

"Hmph---, I don't know now that I'm admitting my mistake, it---'s too late," Prince Zhao said contemptuously.

"Zhao'er, are you back?" At this moment, the loose plate that had been lying on the bed suddenly spoke.
