Jialing Riverside.

Cunxiao was still in extreme shock.

"Impossible, how could the emperor die at such a young age? Impossible, why is there a secret mourning? ”

In his opinion, this thing is strange, but it can't be the emperor's death. Even if the emperor really died, why did he have to keep his mourning secret, and why did he order him to be in the land of the domain immediately, shouldn't he be summoned to Beijing immediately?

The rest of the kings were also divided into vassals by the princes.

But the more Liu Xun thought about it, the more likely this was to be, and all kinds of clues led him to think in that direction.

"My lord, do you mean that in case, if Your Majesty really dies at this time, what do you think the court should do to be the safest?"

Filial piety is numb.

"The king might as well listen to me analyze and analyze for you, if in case, the emperor really died suddenly at this time, I mean in case, it is not impossible, although the emperor is prosperous in the spring and autumn, he is strong and strong, but in his early years, he also charged into the hidden formation, and there are countless old injuries on his body, and no one knows if there is any hidden disease left. How many heroes and emperors died early. ”

"If Your Majesty really dies suddenly, and it is in Chang'an City, then if I am the prime minister of the political hall with me, what is the top priority? Of course, it is necessary to stabilize the situation first, the prince is still far away in Luoyang, but there is still a big war in Helong, at this time, to stabilize the army's heart, stabilize the court, and stabilize the world, of course, it is best to keep the secret first, and quickly send someone to take the prince back to Chang'an City. ”

"Then first the edict of the crown prince to regency the country, and then what? Naturally, all the clans that can threaten the young prince will be crowned kings, and they will all be divided into feudal domains, so as not to cause trouble within the Xiao wall. After the internal and external control is completed, the news of the emperor's death will be announced, and then the crown prince will ascend the throne in front of the spirit, and everything will be in order. ”

According to Liu Xun's backwards, Cunxiao feels that it is really similar.

"Could it be? Impossible, impossible, impossible. ”

Cun Xiao clenched his two fists, he couldn't imagine that not only the fifth brother who had just been separated before would have died violently.

"I'm going to Chang'an."

Luo Cunxiao said suddenly.

Liu Xun hurriedly advised, "King, don't do it." If there was no order from the Provincial Government Hall, the king would have no reason to go to Chang'an. Now that this order has been issued, the king has to return to Chang'an, so it will be even worse. If you go back to Chang'an, I'm afraid that your life will not be guaranteed. ”

If it is really as he guessed, the emperor died violently, then this edict is to have a suspicion and defense against him. At this time, Cunxiao rushed back, isn't this giving people a handle and asking for their own death?

What will the imperial court think? I would definitely think that he was here to fight for the throne.

Cunxiao said angrily, "Lao Tzu doesn't want to go to Yunnan in such a daze, I want to go to Chang'an City to see what happened." ”

"Calm down, King. You have to think about it, what are you going to do if the emperor is really dead? ”

"What to do, of course, is to mourn for the emperor."

"And then?"

"What, then?"

"Doesn't the king have the slightest idea about the throne?" Liu Xun asked.

Cunxiao hesitated for a moment.

"Even if the emperor really dies, the emperor still has the crown prince, although the prince is young, he is the emperor's concubine, and he has long been established as the prince, and he should succeed to the throne."

"Does the king really think so? Great Qin has only been established for four years, and the crown prince is not yet ten years old. The world has not yet been unified, there are three feudatories in the south of the Yangtze River, although the court has just cleaned the old aristocratic gate lord clan, but there is still a strong force in, not to mention, now the Western Turks Tuguhun Tubo three feudatories are attacking, Guanlong is in danger, at this time, the young emperor succeeds to the throne, it will inevitably lead to instability in the court, and the world is uneasy. ”

"Haven't you thought about anything else, my lord?" Liu Xun stared at Luo Cunxiao.

Luo Cunxiao's eyelids rolled, and a pair of eyes were as big as bull's eyes.

"Liu Xun, the reason why this king invited you out is because I heard of your reputation. But now, do you want to persuade this king to rebel against usurpation and make this king a chaotic minister and thief? ”

As he spoke, Cunxiao's hand had already pressed on the hilt of the knife.

As long as Liu Xun dared to say another nonsense, he would draw his knife out of the sheath and kill this person in front of him with a knife.

Liu Xun just laughed.

"If the king wants to be a loyal minister and a virtuous king, he will provide good advice to the king, if the king wants to compete for the throne, he can also give advice to the king, and if he is a staff member and mastermind, this is the duty of a certain person."

Cunxiao snorted coldly.

"Then you can only be regarded as a loyal dog, not a good minister."

"I accepted the king's invitation, but I was only the king's private shogunate, but I was not an official of the court, and I should be loyal to the king, so I should naturally consider the king, not the court."

Hearing such straightforward words, Cun Xiao didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I don't know how people in the world think of me Luo Cunxiao, but I, Luo Cunxiao, am not the kind of person whose interests are blindfolded and soaked in lard. Although I assisted His Majesty to fight down this country, the king is a monarch and a minister. Even if His Majesty really dies violently and collapses, it is impossible for me to snatch my nephew's country, I know that many people say that the heavenly family is ruthless, but I Luo Cunxiao has not been cold-blooded to that point, I want to go back to Chang'an, I just want to go and see what is going on, and then help. I, Luo Cunxiao, am a loyal minister, but I can't guarantee that everyone is a loyal minister, if someone wants to take advantage of the chaos to rebel, I, Luo Cunxiao, will take Changlao to stab him to death. ”

Liu Xun shook his head.

"Since the king has also indicated his intentions, then I don't need to guess left and right. King, since you don't have two hearts, then the best choice and the most appropriate way at the moment is to follow the order, set off for the south early tomorrow morning, hurry up, and arrive at the Lijiang fiefdom as soon as possible, so that it can be regarded as showing loyalty to the imperial court, and it can be regarded as a great favor to the imperial court, so as not to worry and suspect them. ”

"How can I rest assured if I don't go to Chang'an?"

"King, if you go to Chang'an, I'm afraid that everyone won't be able to eat and sleep well, so don't make a mess. No matter what the situation in Chang'an City is, I believe that it will not be long before there will be news, even if it is really secret, it is impossible to keep it secret, and once the prime ministers help the prince stabilize the court, the situation will be announced. ”

"Of course, maybe the emperor is really just a little sick, and then he is recuperating in meditation, and he also takes the opportunity to exercise the prince's ability to learn government affairs."

Liu Xun still didn't say something, that is, maybe the emperor was also testing the reaction and loyalty of the princes of the clan and the princes with different surnames?

"Lao Tzu doesn't do anything, this is your advice to Lao Tzu?" Cun filial piety puffed and puffed.

Liu Xun, who was dressed in a white robe, nodded slightly, "Yes, do nothing, just do the best, wait for the news, I hope the Son of Heaven is fine, otherwise, I am afraid that the world that has just recovered stability will fall into an eventful autumn again." ”
