Liu Yan is the old man of Liu Bei's army, although he can't do anything, but he has always had a good temper, and he has never seen him go crazy and do anything to endanger the court.

Although Zhao Xi was quite dissatisfied with his consistent attitude, he had never had the slightest murderous intent towards him.

Who's going to criticize a useless old man?

Since Liu Yan returned to Chengdu, except for this time, he has always kept to himself, if it weren't for the wine, he wouldn't pick up a stick and do those profligate things.

He looked at the long sword leaking from his chest in a daze, and then looked at Zhao Xi's shocked face, as if he suddenly realized something.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and said word by word: "Okay...... The champion will avenge my ......"

"No, that's not the case."

Zhao Xi's face was pale, seeing Liu Yan's body shaking, he fell to the ground with a bang, Zhao Xi hurriedly pounced, only to see Liu Yan's eyes wide, and he was no longer alive.

"Bastard, who told you to do it!"

It was Zhao Xi's cronies and guards who pierced Liu Yan, and he was Zhao Xi's most powerful subordinate in the palace.

"What are you...... You're killing me! ”

The guard slowly pulled out the blood-stained long sword, carefully rubbed it lightly on his arm, and he swept it lightly over him as if he didn't know Zhao Wei at all, and threw the sword on the ground casually.

"General Zhonglang, I have killed the traitor as you said, and all these sins will be handed over to me!"

As he spoke, he suddenly galloped wildly, jumping up like a wild horse, Zhao Wei immediately realized what he was going to do, and quickly pounced on it, but before he touched the corner of the man's clothes, the guard had already slammed into the brick wall on the side, and his head was suddenly bleeding and his brain burst.

"Save him, save him!"

Zhao Shu jumped three feet high, and as he spoke, he pounced on the guard's body, but the guard had already made up his full determination, this collision really used up all his strength, he died instantly, and before he died, he threw a huge black pot at Zhao Xu.

"It's not me, it's really not me......" Zhao Yu muttered.

Looking at Liu Yan who was lying in a pool of blood, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, and he gasped for a long time before he said with difficulty: "Go and tell the Empress Dowager Sun, something big happened this time." ”

The news of Liu Yan's death reached the palace, and Liu Chan, who was still waiting for Liu Yan to enter the palace to ask for his guilt, suddenly stayed on the spot.

"Bastard thing, who made you kill, who gave you guts!"

Since Liu Chan ascended the throne, he has been humble and kind, and everyone has never seen him with his eyes cracked and thunderous, Ma Liang and others also feel that their bad ideas this time are too big.

Everyone looked at each other, they all felt that this world was too crazy, and some people even cast a deeply suspicious look at Liu Chan, and said in their hearts that this young man was actually secretly poisoned because he was contradicted by others, and even the old ministers of his own sect were so painfully killed.

Liu Chan looked at everyone's eyes, and there was a sadness in the center of the trance,

I didn't do anything, I really just wanted to arrest Liu Yan, reprimand him, and make him apologize, how could he die, how could someone kill him?

This is not my command, you have to believe me!

People are terrible, and everyone is golden, of course Liu Chan knows this truth,

Even if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty believed him, but the news spread outside...... What will the people of the world think, what will the generals of the Quartet think, what will the prime minister and general who went to Jingzhou think,

And what should the champion Hou, who has heavy troops in his hands and is preparing to attack Chang'an in the wind and snow in Yongzhou?

Liu Yan and the champion Hou friendship Liu Chan knows best, although this old man has no talent, but he is really loyal and courageous, in the most difficult years of Jiaozhi, he gave Zhao Hao the greatest support in military and civil affairs, and even personally came to the field to persuade farmers, regardless of his tanned skin,

With him and Yu Fu, Zhao Hao can rest assured that he will expedition to the South China Sea and build his own team in a barren world surrounded by enemies.

And when Liu Yan returned to Chengdu, he also had the intention of speaking for Zhao Hao in the court, not to let Zhao Hao have no support in the court.

By the way, he is also the father-in-law of Ding Feng, Zhao Hao's number one general......

Liu Chan only felt extremely dizzy, he slapped the case hard, wanting to call someone to call Zhao Ji back to explain, but he found that he was actually trembling because of fear, and his pale face was powerless to stop any coherent words.

When he was together, all the ministers could clearly see his two trembling and sifting like chaff.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to hurry up and tell the Queen Mother, please ask the Queen Mother to decide!" Ma Liang said hurriedly.

Liu Chan is not yet in power, and now the most effective judgment in the court is the queen mother, Liu Chan nodded hard, and hurriedly called Huang Hao to inform the queen mother of the discussion,

Liu Chan, who has always shown himself as a young man and an old man, finally showed his panic and helplessness, he pulled Ma Liang's sleeve and said: "Ma Shizhong, hurry up and write a letter to the prime minister and the champion Hou, and ask them to return quickly." ”

Ma Liang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, although this matter is important, the prime minister and the champion have important military affairs, how can they waste national affairs because of the life and death of one person?" ”

"......"

Liu Chan was already in a mess, he didn't want to admit his cowardice, but now he really felt that a crisis was spreading around him, and he subconsciously thought that the only people who could save his orphans and widows were Zhuge Liang and Zhao Hao, who had always cared for him like a father, and Zhao Hao, who was far away in Yongzhou.

As long as one of them is still in Chengdu and by my side, those young people will definitely not dare to make a mistake, and they will never dare to ride on their own heads to embarrass them.

Wang Lian hurriedly stopped: "No, Liu Weishuo and Champion Hou are incomprehensible, if you notify Champion Hou early, it will be difficult for him to be angry, thinking that someone in the court is deliberately embarrassing him, what will he do...... Do something incredible. ”

Wang Lian's voice became smaller and quieter, and it was almost inaudible later, but everyone understood what he was thinking, and they nodded yes for a while.

Zhao Hao has always acted unscrupulously, and with heavy troops in his hands, he has already established a firm foothold in Liangzhou, Yongzhou.

Now the four states of Ji and Han, but three states are absolutely on Zhao Hao's side, if Zhao Hao is angry and directly leads his troops to Chengdu to ask for the guilt, wouldn't it be to wipe out these princes in the court in one go?

Zhang Yi probably thought of the seriousness of the problem, and stammered: "In the opinion of the ministers, it is better not to report the funeral to the champion Hou for the time being, and at the same time block the Shu Road and summon the champion Hou back to Chengdu to discuss matters.

If the champion Hou comes, then we can discuss slowly, if the champion Hou does not come, we will quickly summon the prime minister back to the court and ask...... Blame the champion Hou. ”

Zhang Yi's words are heart-wrenching, no one in Chengdu has ever seen Zhao Hao, in the rumors they heard, Zhao Hao is arrogant and rude, vulgar and unliterate, with a belly of treacherous thoughts and bad tricks,

This kind of person is not a traitorous person like Cao Cao, if he had already rebelled, maybe he would directly lead his troops to attack Chengdu.

Now Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Li Yan have taken away a large number of guard troops, if Zhao Hao is really rebellious, even if he stubbornly holds on, he will not be able to hold this Chengdu City.

Zhang Yi's words were still approved by many people, Liu Chan clutched his court clothes tightly, and the green tendons on the back of his hands began to bloom little by little.

Emotionally, he didn't believe that Zhao Hao had the idea of rebellion, but intellectually, every time he thought of "Luo Weaving Sutra", his heart shuddered.

Can a person who can write such a thing really be a person who is loyal to the country?

"Then ......"

Liu Chan just wanted to say that this was the case, but a scolding voice full of anger sounded behind him.

"I see who dares to embarrass the champion Hou!"

Sun Shangxiang, who was dressed in a dark black court dress and silkworm clothes, strode out, her heroic jade face was slightly hideous because of anger, and the fists in her sleeves were slowly clenched, forcing herself to march slowly and stridely, so as not to let the ministers discover the anger in her heart.

"See the Queen Mother!"

Sun Shangxiang has no foundation in the court, and Ping Su has always been in the deep palace and does not participate in political affairs, so everyone was a little stunned when they saw her instead of Empress Dowager Wu, and they were stunned for a while before bowing down one after another.

Sun Shangxiang stood firmly beside Liu Chan, his phoenix eyes swept over everyone, and the ministers were swept by the cold gaze of the tiger girl in this gate, and they all felt a chill.

Zhang Yi then remembered that Empress Dowager Sun had also lived in Jiaozhi for a while, and Liu Yan was the pastor of Jiaozhou at that time, and she and Empress Dowager Sun were also old friends.

"I heard that someone has already come up with the idea of capturing the champion Hou?" Sun Shangxiang said coldly.

"Where does this start!" As an old minister, Ma Liang quickly got up to calm the situation,

But Sun Shangxiang didn't give him face at all, first glared at him fiercely, and then slowly spoke: "Liu Gong was killed, you people don't want to find the real culprit first and avenge the important ministers, but you have to attack the hussar general, the champion Hou, and the Yongzhou Mu Zhao Hao first-

Now the champion Hou is fighting with Cao Wei's puppet emperor in Yongzhou, are you doing this, are you taking the benefits of Cao Wei, and deliberately doing this thing that is happy for the relatives and enemies! ”

"Don't dare!"

Several left-behind ministers hurriedly knelt down together, Zhang Yi, who had a bad idea just now, was even more trembling and didn't dare to move, Sun Shangxiang sneered and glanced at everyone, and said in a long voice: "You can even say this kind of nonsense about blocking the news and not letting the champion Hou know, are you all human heads and pig brains, what's the use of the prime minister keeping you?" ”

Sun Shangxiang and Cheng You have known each other for a long time, and naturally know that Cheng You has cultivated a powerful school army, which will definitely speed up and send the news of Liu Yan's murder to the front line.

If the imperial court deliberately conceals it, it will cause Zhao Hao's dissatisfaction, and when the time comes, it will be a great disaster for him to raise troops to ask for guilt.

"Please let the queen mother decide!" Liu Chan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Sun Shangxiang coming, and he sincerely saluted and begged Sun Shangxiang to preside over the overall situation.

Sun Shangxiang didn't shirk either, she pondered for a while, and said: "Pass the edict, take Guan Xing as the court lieutenant, thoroughly investigate Liu Yan's affairs, no matter who the person who harmed Liu Yan is, his relatives will be imprisoned and tortured first."

Also, quickly send fast horses to Yongzhou and Jingzhou to report the news, and be sure to let the general and hussar general know about the death of the Marquis of Long as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, follow the edict of the Queen Mother!" Ma Liang breathed a long sigh of relief and hurried to execute.

Liu Chan's face was pale, and he slowly spoke: "Queen Mother, I ......"

"Child," Sun Shangxiang stretched out his hand to help Liu Chan wipe away his tears, "You are the Son of Heaven and an example for all the people in the world. ”
