Chapter 908: Alone
Liu Liang went to the palace angrily and came to see Liu Xiu.
After seeing Liu Xiu, Liu Liang couldn't wait to ask: "Why did Your Majesty seal up the Li Mansion, and why did you arrest more than 100 people from the Li Mansion?" ”
Liu Xiu looked at his uncle with an angry face, feeling helpless, it seemed that in his uncle's mind, Li Zichun was more important than himself.
He asked rhetorically, "Uncle do you remember that he sent a batch of dancing girls to the palace before?" ”
Liu Liang was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes, there is indeed such a thing!" ”
Liu Xiu said bluntly: "Those dancing girls are all fine works of Gongsun Shu. ”
"What?"
When Liu Liang heard this, he was taken aback, his face changed, and he said in horror: "They ...... Are they all the fine works of Gongsun Shu?
This...... How is this possible? ”
"The evidence is conclusive, and they themselves confessed!"
Liu Xiu said slowly.
Liu Liang was stunned for a moment, his body shook suddenly, and he said urgently: "Your Majesty, this matter ...... The ministers don't know ...... about this matter" Liu Xiu said: "Of course my uncle doesn't know the inside story, otherwise, I believe that my uncle will never send them to the palace." ”
Hearing Liu Xiu say this, Liu Liang breathed a long sigh of relief.
The people sent to the palace are all spies of Gongsun Shu, if this matter is investigated deeply, it will be repaid, even if he is a prince, he can't eat and walk around.
Liu Xiu continued: "According to investigation, those dancing girls were all bought by Li Zichun, and then transferred to the hands of my uncle and sent to the palace.
Uncle doesn't know the details of those dancing girls, doesn't Li Zichun know either?
Shouldn't I have arrested him on that basis alone? ”
Liu Liang's cold sweat broke out.
He still knows Li Zichun well, Li Zichun is a businessman, and it is his nature to be greedy for money, but if he wants to say that he fornicated with Gongsun Shu for money, Liu Liang doesn't believe it anyway.
He frowned and said: "Your Majesty, with Zichun's character, he will never fornicate with Gongsun Shu, he ...... He doesn't have the guts to do that. ”
Liu Xiu was almost angry, and asked silently: "So, according to my uncle's opinion?" ”
Liu Liang thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, let's let Zichun and Zichun's family go first!" ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, she was really a little angry.
He really wanted to yell at Liu Liang: I am your own nephew! It's your blood relative! He said quietly: "Li Zichun transferred the detailed works of more than a dozen grandsons to his uncle and sent them to the palace, and now, my uncle asked me to let him go like this?" ”
Liu Liang was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, Weichen can guarantee with his life, Zichun will never fornicate with Gongsun Shu!" He must have been deceived by this! ”
Liu Xiu took two deep breaths before he could barely suppress the anger that rushed to his head.
He looked at Liu Liang and didn't say a word for a long time.
Liu Liang's maintenance of Li Zichun disappointed Liu Xiu.
Under the pretense of the hands of the prince, he sent more than a dozen fine works into the palace and made such a big rebellious act, but instead of standing on his side, his uncle continued to stand on Li Zichun's side, and even did not hesitate to guarantee his life, can Liu Xiu not be disappointed in this?
Liu Liang also felt the sullenness in Liu Xiu's heart, and he said: "Ah Xiu, it is impossible for Zichun to fornicate with Gongsun Shu, and you can't ...... You can't wronged him! ”
Liu Xiu closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, he slowly raised his eyes and said, "Uncle, I can release Li Zichun and the rest of the family." ”
Hearing this, Liu Liang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Weichen Xie Your Majesty Longen......" Before he finished speaking, Liu Xiu waved his hand and said: "After I let them go, Li Zichun and his family will go back to their hometown in Huaixian, and they will not be allowed to step into Luoyang again in the future." ”
"Your Majesty......" Liu Liang's face changed suddenly.
Liu Xiu continued: "Also, uncle should also go back to his fiefdom." ”
Liu Liang looked at Liu Xiu in disbelief, Ah Xiu let himself go back to the fiefdom?
This...... Is this to drive yourself out of the capital?
Liu Xiu slowly stood up, walked towards the inner room with heavy steps, and said at the same time: "Uncle, my nephew is too tired and wants to take a rest." ”
When he was a child, his father died of illness, Liu Xiu was fostered in his uncle's house, and after the rebellion, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the second sister were martyred one after another.
And what hurts him the most is precisely family affection.
Liu Liang's maintenance of Li Zichun in every way, even indiscriminately, really hurt Liu Xiu's heart.
He felt that in his uncle's mind, his nephew was completely dispensable, and whether he lived or died had little to do with him, but his uncle cared more about the safety of Li Zichun, an outsider.
"Ah Xiu-" Liu Liang looked at Liu Xiu with blank eyes.
Liu Xiu said meaningfully: "Uncle, there are too many disturbances in the capital, right and wrong, there are too many people, and when you return to the fiefdom, you can live for a long time and enjoy the joy of humanity." ”
With Liu Liang's ability, being a county official is barely enough, and being a prince, he is indeed far behind.
The prince is not so easy to do, he has to face all kinds of people, all kinds of things, and if he is not careful, he may be used by others and become a tool in the hands of others.
Liu Xiu really felt that it was not suitable for his uncle to stay in Luoyang, otherwise, something big would happen sooner or later.
After saying this, Liu Xiu walked into the inner room of the main hall.
Liu Liang stood in the hall for a long time, until Zhang Kun stepped forward to remind him that His Majesty had rested and that King Zhao should also go back, and Liu Liang came back to his senses.
As if he had aged several years all at once, he raised his hand upwards and opened his mouth towards the inner chamber, but in the end he could not speak, and the old man sighed and turned to walk out.
This is the end of the matter.
Liu Xiu did not have evidence of Li Zichun's collusion with Gongsun Shu, but so many coincidences also made it difficult for Li Zichun to clear his suspicion.
Under Liu Liang's intercession, Liu Xiu finally released Li Zichun and his family, but the Li family was also expelled from Luoyang and moved back to Huai County.
The Li family is a big family in Huai County, and even if they return to Huai County, they can live a life of fine clothes and food.
Liu Liang was instructed by Liu Xiu to return to his fiefdom, Zhao Guojun.
Uncle wanted to return to the fiefdom, and it was instructed by His Majesty, Liu Boji heard the news and came to the palace as soon as possible, asking to see Liu Xiu.
After the brother and sister met, Liu Boji asked with concern: "Why did the imperial brother suddenly want to let his uncle return to the fiefdom?" ”
Liu Xiu did not hide Liu Boji, and told her the ins and outs of the matter.
In the end, he said with a wry smile: "Uncle has no heart to defend against people, and he has fellowship with people and digs out his heart and lungs.
This time my uncle was used by Li Zichun, fortunately, there was no major incident, but next time, who dares to guarantee that there will be no second Li Zichun and a third Li Zichun in Luoyang? ”
After listening to Liu Xiu's story, Liu Boji was stunned for a long time before reacting.
She said with deep feeling: "The current Luoyang City is becoming more and more like a big quagmire. ”
In the midst of it, dangers lurk, and one wrong step may lead to a catastrophe.
Liu Xiu looked at the little sister who was moved, and couldn't help but show a wry smile.
Liu Boji raised his head, looked at Liu Xiu, and said, "Third brother, this time Boji entered the palace, in addition to inquiring about his uncle, he also had something to tell the third brother. ”
"What's the matter?"
Liu Xiu asked curiously.
"Third brother, I'm leaving Beijing too."
"Huh?"
Liu Xiu looked at Liu Boji in surprise.
Liu Boji smiled at him and said, "The dimension is in Shunyang Tuntian, and I want to go to Shunyang to accompany him." ”
After a pause, she said again: "The third brother also knows that the dimensional health has not been very good, and if no one takes care of his diet and daily life, his condition will be repeated if it is not good. ”
Liu Xiu looked at Liu Boji, his eyes dimmed, and muttered: "Little sister is also leaving...... Now the only people who can be called Liu Xiu's closest relatives are uncle Liu Liang, eldest sister Liu Huang, and younger sister Liu Boji.
The uncle is about to leave Beijing and is about to go to the fiefdom, the eldest sister has already left Beijing and returned to the fiefdom to cultivate the truth, and now even the younger sister is leaving Beijing and going to Shunyang to accompany the dimension.
At this moment, Liu Xiu really felt what it means to be alone.
Looking at Liu Xiu's lonely appearance, Liu Boji's heart was sour, she stood up, walked to Liu Xiu's side, knelt down, held Liu Xiu's hand, and said, "Third brother, I'm just going to Nanyang, and it's not that I won't come back." ”
Shunyang is in the west of Nanyang, not far from Wudang Mountain, and Li Tong is in Shunyang Tuntian, one is to relieve the pressure of the imperial court's lack of grain and grass, and the other is to prevent Gongsun Shu's army from crossing Wudang Mountain and invading Nanyang.
Liu Xiu held Liu Boji's little hand, patted her lightly on the back of her hand, and said, "There are many children of the Liu family in Nanyang, if you are in trouble, the little sister can ask the clan relatives for help."
The clan relatives are all over Nanyang, and they respond to every call, even if there is a big difficulty, they can help the little sister solve it. ”
Liu Boji's eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "Third brother, I know." ”
"Shunyang is remote and the conditions are difficult, and the little sister also has to take care of herself."
"Hmm......" Liu Boji lowered his head, his eyes dripping.
Liu Xiu raised her hand, wiped the tears on her face, and said with a smile: "After a while, when the situation stabilizes, I will transfer the dimension back to Beijing." ”
Liu Boji wiped his cheeks with his sleeve, smiled at Liu Xiu, and said, "When the time comes, I will bring back more Nanyang specialties." ”
Liu Liang and Liu Boji left Beijing one after another, which made Liu Xiu's mood depressed for several days.
In the past few days, he has not gone to the palace of the concubine, and has been living in the Qingliang Palace.
That night, Liu Xiu finished his government affairs and was sitting in the main hall drinking, Zhang Kun walked in from outside, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the flower beauty asks to see." ”
"Hmm!"
Liu Xiu replied casually.
Zhang Kun blinked, owed to Liu Xiu again, bowed, and withdrew from the hall.
It is not easy to be an internal servant by the side of the Son of Heaven, for example, now, Zhang Kun has to distinguish from Liu Xiu's voice, whether it is 'I know' or 'I have invited a flower beauty into the palace'.
After Zhang Kun withdrew from the main hall, he walked quickly to Hua Feiyan and whispered: "Flower beauty, Your Majesty is invited!" ”
Hua Fei thanked him and was about to go inside, Zhang Kun hurriedly said: "In the past few days, Your Majesty has been in a bad mood, and Hua Meiren will try to pick up some things that are pleasant!" ”
Seeing Hua Feiyan looking at himself puzzled, Zhang Kun explained: "King Zhao and Princess Ningping left Beijing one after another, Your Majesty's heart is empty, and he stayed in the Qingliang Hall for several days in a row, and drank a lot of wine every night. ”
Hua Feiyan showed a sudden realization, nodded to Zhang Kun, and said, "Thank you Zhang for telling me." ”
"The flower beauty is too polite, isn't this a slave!"
Zhang Kun hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Hua Feiyan walked into the main hall and looked up, and sure enough, Liu Xiu was sitting on the mat, holding a wine jug in one hand and a wine glass in the other, pouring himself a drink! "Your Majesty!"
Hua Feiyan walked up to Liu Xiu and gave a blessing.
Liu Xiu was dazzled, smiled slightly, and said, "Feiyan came just in time, accompany me for a few drinks!" ”
Hua Feiyan showed helplessness, she didn't come to Liu Xiu to drink, but to ask Liu Xiu how to deal with Luo You.
Now that the case has been clarified, Luo You can't be detained in Yeting Prison all the time, whether to kill or release, Liu Xiu needs to make an idea.
