Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, was restless, flattering his hands back and forth, and he didn't even watch the courtesan performance in front of him. Ever since he discovered that someone had sneaked into his fiefdom, he knew that someone was plotting against him. Knowing that it was Liu An, the king of Huainan, Liu Ci sneered in his heart, and later heard that Liu Yan, the princess of Guantao, and Han Yan, the doctor of Guantao, also sent people, so he finally realized that the problem was serious.

The second son, Liu Xiao, walked in with square steps, walked through the dancing courtesans, took the opportunity to touch the buttocks of the most beautiful courtesan, and came to Liu Ci with a smile: "Father, why are you worried?" Speak up, and the child will share your worries. ”

"Get out! You know all day by day, when did you share my worries? ”

Liu Xiao smiled: "Hengshan Country is such a big place, and my father is eloquent, even if there is something, it won't be my turn, right?" As he spoke, he picked up the wine jug in front of Liu Ci and poured it violently.

Liu Ci's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he glared at Liu Xiao: "Someone wants to harm your father, are you still so relaxed?" ”

"Whoever is so bold, the child will take someone to clean him up."

Liu Ci was angry: "Who? If you say it, I'm afraid it will scare you, so I disappear from my eyes and don't let me see you again! ”

Liu Xiao pursed his lips, turned around and walked out: "It doesn't matter if you don't look down on me, I am also your son, and the son of the world is filial, why didn't he come at this time?" ”

Thinking of Shizi, Liu Ci became even more angry. Things in his own family are in a mess, since the queen died, the prince Liu Shuang and the new queen Xu Lai have not dealt with each other, and the two say bad things about each other in front of Liu Ci every day. As a father and husband, Liu Ci used the method of dealing with the mud, and the effect was not too good, not only failed to suppress the fight between the two, but intensified.

"Hey!" Liu Ci sighed, grabbed the wine glass and drank it dry.

Du Wei hurriedly came in and bowed down in front of Liu Ci. Liu Ci hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, the letter can be delivered, they won't come, right?" ”

Du Wei said: "It has been delivered, the villain watched Henan Taishou send the letter to the mansion of Su Ren and others, for the sake of insurance, the villain has been waiting in Luoyang for five days, and those people have not returned to Chang'an, but have come to our Hengshan country." ”

"Ahh They are really not afraid of death! How many people came? ”

"About two hundred."

"Two hundred!" Liu Ci scratched his scalp: "How is this good, as long as the two sides fight in our Hengshan country, no matter which side is damaged, we can't eat and walk around." After thinking about it, he continued: "In this way, immediately send people to the border to stop them, and no matter what, we can't let them enter our Hengshan." ”

"No!" The lieutenant agreed, and Shi Li went out.

Liu Ci lost interest in appreciating singing and dancing, waved his hand and drove all the courtesans out, got up and came to the back house. Queen Xu Lai and her son Liu Guang are planting flowers in the flower garden in the backyard, which are obtained from Xu Lai's hometown and are said to have a calming effect. Liu Ci really wanted to try it now, but the season was not right.

Frowning, he sat in the pavilion and watched the queen and Liu Guang busy with their work, and sighed vigorously. Queen Xu Lai found that Liu Ci was coming, and hurriedly threw down the things in her hand and came over to salute.

"Why does the king have time to come to this back garden today? But what's going on? ”

Liu Ci sighed: "My Hengshan Kingdom is about to come to a catastrophe!" He told Xu about the crisis that was about to appear.

Xu Lai is a Miao girl, with half of the Yue blood on her body, and she has a long national color and fragrance. Back then, he was sent to Hengshan Wangfu as a gift by the Miao people, but he didn't expect Liu Ci to receive it in his hands as soon as he saw it. As soon as the queen died, Xu Lai was crowned queen. Xu Lai is also an ambitious woman, and after becoming the queen, she asked her son Liu Guang to be the son, which is the biggest contradiction between the queen Xu Lai and the current son Liu Shuang.

Xu Lai's eyes rolled: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the king to send the captain to stop him, although the concubine is short-sighted, she also knows that Li Danghu is the son of Li Guang, Gongsun He is the son of Gongsun Hun Evil, Wei Qing is His Majesty's wife and brother, and that Su Ren is now under the favor of His Majesty, these people are flying and domineering, and non-noble people cannot be suppressed, and the concubine thinks that she can ask the prince to come forward, and she may be able to stop those people." ”

Liu Ci glanced at Xu Lai. Xu Lai hurriedly explained: "The concubine doesn't understand, and if what is wrong, please ask the king to atone for her sins." ”

Liu Ci didn't speak, closed his eyes and recuperated.

A palace maid rushed in with a shout, holding the hem of her skirt with both hands, revealing a pair of big feet, and shouting loudly as she ran: "Queen, it's not good, something happened!" ”

Xu Lai frowned, and immediately someone went over to stop the panicked palace maid. Xu Lai said angrily: "This is the palace, what kind of system is it to shout and shout, the king is resting, disturbing the king, what are you waiting for?" ”

The palace maid hurriedly knelt on the ground and said with a crying voice: "The queen is angry, and the slave and maid really have something important to report." ”

"Say! If it's not a big deal, be careful with your little life. ”

"Queen, something is wrong!" The palace maid climbed a few steps forward and came to Xu Lai: "The queen's brother was stabbed by the prince and unconscious!" ”

"Ahh Xu Lai was so frightened that he almost fainted.

Liu Ci also woke up, glared at the palace maid, and said angrily: "What nonsense? The queen's brother has been in the long run, and this king has let the prince entertain him, how can there be a stabbing thing? ”

The palace maid touched the ground with her head: "King Mingjian, it's true, such a big thing, the slave doesn't care about nonsense." ”

Soon, some people kept reporting that it was the prince who stabbed Xu Lai's brother, and he couldn't help but believe it. Under Xu Lai's repeated pleas, Liu Ci personally went to the post house. Sure enough, Xu Lai's brother was lying on the couch, with a thick bandage between his chest and abdomen, and blood oozing out. Standing on the side were Yi Cheng and a few medical officers, kneeling on the ground and not daring to say more.

Liu Shuang sat on the side of a low table not far away, holding a wine glass in one hand and a bloody sword in the other, his eyes were red, and the wine in his mouth could smoke people to death when he spoke.

Xu Lai threw herself in front of her brother's couch and cried. Liu Ci looked at Liu Shuang, and really wanted to cut down this son who caused trouble all day long, but it was his own son, and he couldn't kill him no matter what.

Liu Ci had no choice but to comfort Xu Lai and promise to deal with it strictly. Fortunately, Xu Lai's brother didn't have any major incidents, so he sent someone to send him back to the guest room and invited the best medical officer to treat him.

"Get up, go back to your house, and think about it behind closed doors!" This is the heaviest sentence that Liu Ci said to Liu Shuang over the years.

Liu Shuang laughed: "That stinky woman killed my mother and failed to kill him, I'm really angry!" ”

"Enough! If you don't succeed enough, you will lose more than anything, and you won't retreat quickly! ”

There is a miasma of smoke at home, and there are people calculating outside the house. Even if Liu Ci is nervous, he feels that his brain hurts. Leaving the post station, surrounded by the guards, he walked away. After turning a few streets, I looked up and found that there was the Wei Mansion in front of me. Wei Qing, the master of the Wei Mansion, is Liu Ci's confidant, and this person knows magic. Many times, when Liu Ci has something that he can't decide, he will come to ask Wei Qing.

raised his feet and entered Weiqing's mansion, and someone notified Weiqing to come out to greet him. When the king arrived, there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping up and down the Wei Mansion. finally let Liu Ci into the lobby, and Wei Qing stood respectfully in front of Liu Ci. Seeing that Liu Ci didn't speak, Wei Qing said: "The king is still worried about the queen and the prince? ”

Liu Ci shook his head: "There are too many things? Which one of these kings finds it difficult to choose, and I came to your house today to ask you what your good plan is? ”

Wei Qing secretly glanced at Liu Ci: "The subordinate just divined a hexagram this morning, which is a good omen, the king doesn't have to worry, these things will come to an end soon." ”

"Really?"

"It's true, it's just that the matter in the north is a little tricky, and the ministers think that the king should immediately retire the letter and report the matter to His Majesty."

Liu Ci patted his head: "That's right, why didn't this king expect that someone would come ......"

Wei Qing hurriedly stopped: "Don't worry, the king's words haven't been finished yet, everything is about incriminating evidence, and the king only has to get the incriminating evidence of those people, this matter is not only not a bad thing, but it will also become a good thing." ”

"How?"

"Send someone to monitor closely, and after the two sides move, you can take the opportunity to move!"

"Who can go?"

Wei Qing thought for a while: "General Zhang Guangchangke!" Guangchang is a good omen, and only this person will have a glimmer of hope. ”

Liu Ci thought for a while: "Okay, let Zhang Guangchang go once, come here, let Zhang Guangchang come to see this king quickly!" ”

Coming out of Wei Qing's house, Liu Ci's mood improved. Walking to the door of the house, the crying inside was earth-shattering, Liu Ci's brows furrowed again, one foot had already stepped into the door, and he really didn't want to step into the other.

Liu Xiao didn't know where it came from, and said to Liu Ci with a smile: "Father now knows how good the son is, right?" The son of the world not only does not share the worries for his father, but also causes trouble for his father, as soon as this incident comes out, our Hengshan Wangfu will become the laughing stock of the world, and you will be talked about by others, such a son of the world does not want it! ”

Liu Ci kicked Liu Xiao down: "I'm not dead yet?" It's not your turn to point fingers, the son of the world is your eldest brother, come to me every day to say bad things, a kid like you, don't want to be the king of Hengshan in this life. ”

"Why?" Liu Xiao, who was lying on the ground, was anxious: "My father is eccentric, and he is angry with the son of the world, and he sprinkles it on me, and the child is not convinced." ”

No longer paying attention to Liu Xiao, King Hengshan walked into the palace. In the queen's room in the backyard, Xu Lai's brother was lying on the couch, probably asleep. Queen Xu Lai sat on the side, crying and crying, and the palace maids and medical officials on the side were all cautious, and no one dared to say a word.

Seeing Liu Ci coming in, Xu Lai fell at Liu Ci's feet: "King, the prince wants to kill the concubine, the concubine's brother has no grievances with him, he almost took his brother's life, and the concubine was also killed that day, the prince was completely happy, please ask the king to make the decision for my brother and seek justice for the concubine." ”

Xu Lai is beautiful, under the cry, the pear blossoms bring rain, which adds a bit of enchantment, and Liu Ci is in the fire. Since the founding of the Hengshan Kingdom, family discord and foreign enemies have been around, and Liu Ci has handled all this carefully. But in the end, it will become more and more chaotic, but it is better to be happy when he was a son, I knew that this was the case, and it may be a good thing to ask the emperor to remove the country as soon as possible.
