Liang Shengzhi was unkempt, like a beggar who had strayed into the palace, although he had to take care of the new emperor at all times, and still had time to wash, he would rather keep it like this, giving outsiders an extremely strong impression that the emperor could not do without him.

The little emperor was lying on the couch, pillowing one of Liang Shengzhi's legs, as if he was asleep, occasionally opening his eyes and checking around in a panic to confirm that this was really the palace, and the familiar people were around, so that he could be quiet for a while.

The candles were set in a circle, illuminating the room as bright as day, and four eunuchs took care of the candles, cutting off the candles at regular intervals to prevent them from being extinguished.

Bowing to the emperor is also bowing to Liang Shengzhi, and no one can avoid it.

Before Liang Shengzhi said a word, he had to look down at the little emperor, as if he had been instructed, "Lou Gongzi is flat." His smile was a little tired, but confident.

"I'm glad you can come, and Your Majesty is also very happy." Liang Shengzhi glanced down again, "Heaven does not bless this dynasty, so that the first emperor abandoned his ministers and left, and God also favored this dynasty, and sent His Majesty back to the Eastern Capital in time, one sorrow and one joy, all in the will of heaven." ”

Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "It was also the will of heaven that sent the seventeenth prince." ”

Liang Shengzhi smiled slightly, this is not the grandson of Taifu who lost his temper after drinking in public a month ago, but the upstart who escaped the catastrophe and suddenly took power.

"How dare you bear the will of heaven when you are humble? Liang Xima's work of escorting the horse is well-known in the sea, and it can be called the will of heaven. "The building is arched.

Liang Shengzhi laughed loudly, and immediately lowered his voice, "We are also acquaintances, listening to Mr. Guo, the seventeenth prince is deeply favored by the general......

The little emperor sat up suddenly, with a frightened face, and screamed, "Drive away!" Get rid of them all! ”

Lou Ji thought that he was not popular, and looked at Guo Shifeng in surprise, Guo Shifeng smiled and shook his head.

Liang Shengzhi gently comforted: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, this is the Eastern Capital Palace, and there are no chaotic people around." ”

"I heard you say 'General.'" The little emperor is not used to calling himself "I".

"The rebels are most afraid of the general."

"Oh." The little emperor lay down slowly, completely ignoring the other people in the room, and suddenly said, "Did the general kill my father?" ”

Liang Shengzhi glanced at the foundation of the building quickly, and said in a low voice: "No, the general is dedicated to the country, but a first-class loyal minister." The imperial court will find out the truth, soon. ”

"Revenge."

"This revenge must be avenged."

"Kill all the rebels."

"None of them will be left."

The little emperor made two hmm-hmms and gradually fell asleep.

Liang Shengzhi patted the little emperor, raised his head and whispered to Guo Shifeng: "Please Mr. Guo to receive Lou Gongzi, what do I mean...... Your Majesty means, you understand. ”

Guo Shifeng lightly claimed that he was leading Lou Ji out of the room, and this visit was not for discussion, but just to prove to Lou Ji that he Guo Shifeng could indeed represent Liang Shengzhi and the emperor.

The room next door was empty, and there was no light, so Guo Shifeng and Lou Ji stood at the door to bargain.

"The general's defeat in Qinzhou will not be pursued by the imperial court, but the general has to write to the general, his name can be retained, and the imperial court will also give him the position of Taibao, in short, it will not embarrass the general."

"Since the imperial court has this intention, why not let the general enter the city?"

Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "The people in the city are unstable, and the court doesn't want to add any more accidents, so it's better to solve the matter outside the city." ”

"What about the rest of the Lou family?"

"The general of the Chinese army is promoted to the middle of the chamberlain, and the others who have officials do not move, and they will be promoted to the first level, and those who have no officials will be awarded the first rank, except for the seventeenth prince, and continue to stay by His Majesty's side as an attendant, and the things that are imprisoned must be slowly planned, and they should not be rushed."

"Imperial Court ...... It's so generous. ”

"Brother don't have to worry too much, the court hopes that the general will give office, there is really nothing else, but the new emperor is young, I am afraid that all parties will not accept it, and it is necessary to take an important minister to warn the world, the general can take care of the old age, if you want, you can also take charge of the army again after a while, imitating the matter of Taifu Liang."

"Hmm." Lou Ji thought for a while, "Your Majesty just said that you want to take revenge......

Guo Shifeng said with a smile: "Your Majesty wants to avenge Qinzhou's frightened revenge, not the revenge of killing your father." Of course, things can't just go over like this, the assassin is from the Liang country, and a group of people from the Five Kingdoms have to pay the price. It was really unfortunate that Brother Ma fled this time, so he had to take him as the mastermind. ”

"Mavi is my best friend."

"Isn't that true for me? I knew Brother Ma even earlier. Alas, it was also his bad luck, and all we could do was to secretly inform him and let him escape as far away as possible. ”

"And Brother Ma's family."

Guo Shifeng shook his head, "This kind of thing can't be exhaustive, we have to protect ourselves first, otherwise, there will be no one to ventilate Brother Ma." ”

Lou Ji was still hesitating, Guo Shifeng said again: "Brother Ma's matter will be talked about later, the court has not found out about him, and the general needs to make a decision as soon as possible." ”

"I will convey the court's good intentions to the great general—what if the general does not accept it?"

"This ...... Liang Xima didn't say, I can only speculate, then the imperial court can only investigate the defeat of Qinzhou and the crime of the general's unauthorized return to Beijing, it stands to reason that the general should at least stay in Tongguan, the best choice is to stick to Xijing, wait for reinforcements, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people of Qinzhou. ”

"Understood, as long as the imperial court can guarantee that it will not be pursued afterwards, I think the general will agree."

"Since the general has handed over the military power, what's the point of pursuing it further?"

Lou Ji thought for a while, "The Lou family must have a shepherd, Jizhou is good, I heard that the Huangfu father and son fell into the hands of the troubled people, and the position is vacant, Wuzhou or Yizhou can also be." ”

"I'm not going to make a promise, I'll have to ask about it."

"I'll wait here."

Guo Shifeng said goodbye and went to the next room to discuss with Liang Shengzhi.

The building must put forward conditions so that the other party can believe that he really wants to talk.

Guo Shifeng is more like a businessman, and he agrees too happily, which will make him suspicious.

There were a few screams from next door, and the little emperor was awakened by a nightmare again.

Guo Shifeng came back, "The general of the Chinese army can go to Yizhou, but he will not be given the position of serving in the middle." ”

"Okay, I'll go out of the city as soon as it's dawn and talk to my father."

"The younger brother has to persuade the general, both public and private, and Zhishi is the best choice."

"Understood. Before leaving the palace, I had to meet the general's wife and the general of the Chinese army, and my father would definitely ask about them. ”

"I can send you to see the general of the Chinese army, and I will also send someone to ask the general's wife to see if she can come out."

"Thank you, Brother Guo."

"Brother Hugh should be polite, no matter what happens above, you and I are friends, and the same is true for Brother Ma, although he can't be kept innocent, at least he can be saved, and maybe his wife can be saved." Guo Shifeng obviously reflected on the answer just now, revised it again, and made friendship more important.

Lou Ji arched his hand and said: "There will be a lot of things in the future, and Brother Guo will have to take care of it." ”

"You and I have no chance to be classmates, and in the future, we will serve the new emperor together, which can be regarded as colleagues, and we must treat each other."

The two complained to each other, and then Guo Shifeng took Lou Ji to meet the general of the Chinese army.

Lou insisted on guarding the emperor's spirit, and the empress dowager took pity on him and let him stay at the door of the palace.

When the building was built, Lou Qiang was sleeping on a blanket, unclothed, curled up in a ball, relying on the fat accumulated for many years to resist the cold.

Guo Shifeng retired with interest, "I'll go find someone to inform the general's wife." ”

The building base pushed the third brother awake.

Lou Jian was about to cry when he opened his eyes, and Lou Ji sat next to him, "Third brother, it's me." ”

Before dawn, Lou Qiang looked at the candlelight in the hall and said in a trembling voice: "It's you?" ”

"It's me, my father sent me into the city to find out." Lou Ji has practiced lying to the fullest, and even he takes it a little seriously.

"Father...... Really back? "Lou is going to cry again.

"I'm back, and I stopped at the inn outside the city."

Lou held back his crying, leaned on the threshold and looked out a few times, and then said in a very low voice: "Let my father come and save me." ”

"What is the third brother afraid of?"

"Your Majesty has an accident in my house......"

"The court will not wronged the innocent."

"You don't understand ......"

"The new emperor behaved differently from the previous emperor."

"Is it different?"

"Different."

Lou Gang was a little relieved, hugged his younger brother, and still cried, "This is really not a human life, no matter what, you must let me leave the Eastern Capital, I really ...... I really don't want to stay for a day. Sometimes, I can still hear His Majesty's voice......"

Lou Gong looked at the coffin in the hall, his whole body was cold, and he couldn't stop shaking.

Lou Ji also looked into the depths of darkness, he didn't see anything, he wasn't afraid of anything, even if the Emperor of All Things came out at this time, he wasn't afraid.

Mrs. Lan came alone, and the princess and daughter-in-law had been recruited back to the palace by her to accompany the grieving queen mother.

"How is the general?" As soon as she met Mrs. Lan, she asked about her husband's condition.

"Everything's fine." Even if there were no outsiders, Lou Ji didn't mention his father's injury.

Mrs. Lan let out a sigh, "Then I will be relieved, please also tell the general, I will ...... with the hard child" Mrs. Lan glanced at her son, her brows furrowed slightly, "We are okay, please rest assured, the general does not understand, I don't understand the major affairs of the court, but the court will not be wrong, the Lou family is full of loyalty and kindness, and must not live up to the court's kindness." ”

"Yes, ma'am, the child understands."

Mrs. Lan sighed, "The Lou family has a group of descendants, but you are the only one who can be used in the end." Leave your third brother alone, he's just a useless waste. ”

Lou Qiang was still sitting on the blanket, and when he heard his mother's words, he snorted twice.

Mrs. Lan had nothing else to say, so Lou Ji said goodbye, found Guo Shifeng, and sent her out of the palace by him.

Just as the sky was about to dawn, Guo Shifeng gave it away without being hindered.

Lou Ji rode out of the city, ran to the barracks first, and was just in time for Qiao Zhisu to come out.

"The seventeenth prince doesn't have to enter the camp, go back and tell the general that the king of Xiangdong will go to the post station tonight and discuss it in person."

The king of Xiangdong was at least moved.

The two rode to the post station, and along the way, Qiao Zhisu didn't ask anything, he was just a staff member, and the general would give ideas when he needed it, and he would never ask indiscriminately when he didn't need it.

The general was waiting for news, and hundreds of guards surrounded the post station, and the commuters had to be transferred elsewhere.

Hearing Qiao Zhisu say that the king of Xiangdong was coming, the general nodded, "Okay, Mr. Qiao will go and prepare, and be sure to receive the king of Xiangdong well." ”

Hearing that the seventeenth son entered the city last night, the general showed a little surprise, and then smiled: "Fortunately, I have a son like you." ”

Lou Ji said that the eldest princess and Liang Shengzhi were attracted to each other.

Lou Wen listened word-for-word, "Which side do you think I should accept?" ”

"The Liang family is not credible, and so is the eldest princess, the child thinks that Mo Ruo will enter the forbidden army with the edict and enter the city with the king of Xiangdong to avenge the emperor of all things."

"Revenge? How to get revenge? "The general himself is one of the masterminds behind the assassination.

"The timing of Liang Shengzhi's return to Beijing with the crown prince is too coincidental, and Guo Shifeng next to him is the one who arranged the assassin, and the court will know it when it is checked, and it can be decided."

"Hey, and then what?"

"As my father pleases." Lou Ji didn't know what step his father was going to take, so he didn't want to persuade him more.

Lou Wen took out the edict from his arms and opened it slowly, "I've already asked someone to add a few lines to it, what do you think?" ”

The building foundation was in his hand, and after just a glance, he said, "It's not proper!" ”
