Chapter 192: Retirement
In the middle of the month, after Chu Yun came out of Liu Bang's palace, Lu Pheasant invited him over.
"General Chu, half a moon has passed, when are you going to do things for this palace?" Lu Pheasant asked unhappily.
Chu Yun had been in Chang'an for many days, but he had not taken action for a long time, which made her extremely anxious.
"The minister has a general understanding of His Majesty's wishes, and he can share the queen's worries." Chu Yundao.
Lu Pheasant was overjoyed, what she was waiting for was Chu Yun's words, and asked, "What is the general's good plan!"
Chu Yun said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty wants to see the Queen's attitude, why doesn't the Queen show Her Majesty?"
Lu Hou said: "Listen to the general's good words!"
Chu Yun said: "The queen can make Mrs. Bo's son Liu Heng the acting king, and let Mrs. Bo go to the fief with her son to enjoy happiness."
"Madame Bo?" Lu Pheasant frowned, Mrs. Bo was suppressed by her and was extremely stable in the harem.
Chu Yun nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Why did you choose her?" Lu Hou asked.
Chu Yun asked rhetorically, "Has Mrs. Bo ever competed with the queen for favor?"
"No!" Lu Pheasant said.
"Can Gongzi Liu Heng threaten the crown prince?" Chu Yun asked.
Lu Pheasant smiled: "Liu Heng is only seven years old, and he has not yet been weaned, how can he threaten my son!"
Chu Yun said: "Since Madame Bo has never competed with the queen for favor, and her son cannot threaten the prince, she is Your Majesty's favorite concubine."
"If the queen treats her well and gives her son a fief, Your Majesty will be happy to see it, and he will no longer embarrass the queen!"
"But her son is only seven years old, not yet the age of king!" Lu Pheasant said.
"So the queen can make him the acting king, let him stay away from the imperial city, the best of both worlds, why not." Chu Yundao.
Lu Pheasant smiled and said: "The general's plan is really clever, but I don't know if Mrs. Bo will accept the separation."
Chu Yun said: "I will be a lobbyist for the queen, and she will not refuse."
Lu Pheasant nodded, Chu Yun's plan could indeed relieve the suspicion in Liu Bang's heart.
She suddenly raised her head and asked, "The first thing General Chu did when he came to Chang'an was to visit Mrs. Bo, could it be that he was waiting for this day?"
Chu Yun said with a smile: "Yes, the ovary explained to me the queen's situation, so I rushed to contact Mrs. Bo for the queen and test her wishes."
Lu Pheasant was a little happy, and asked calmly: "Since the general has a plan in mind, why did he only offer advice today?"
Chu Yun said: "If Your Majesty bans the palace, the queen will immediately send Madam Bo to a distant place, and it is inevitable that there will be suspicions of wanting to cover up."
Lu Pheasant said: "I see!"
Chu Yun hurriedly said goodbye, he visited Mrs. Bo, but Mrs. Bo's spirit was not very good, and she was worried about Lu Pheasant's murder day and night.
When Madame Bo saw Chu Yun coming, she immediately asked, "General Chu, how are things?"
Chu Yun said: "The matter has been done, and Mrs. Bo will have no worries in the future, but the queen has one condition."
Madame Bo asked, "What conditions?"
Chu Yun said: "The queen wants to crown Liu Heng's son as the acting king, and let his wife take his son to the fief."
Mrs. Bo breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at Chu Yun gratefully, and said, "As long as our mother and son can be safe, it doesn't matter where we go."
Chu Yun reported the situation to Lü Pheasant, and Lü Pheasant drafted a holy decree for Liu Ying, appointing Mrs. Bo's son Liu Heng as the king, and letting Mrs. Bo go to the fief with her son to enjoy the blessings.
As a king at the age of seven, the court ministers were surprised, even if it was a son, it was an excellent treatment, and the fief that Lu Pheasant gave to Liu Heng was not bad.
Liu Bang was lying on the bed, and heard that Lu Pheasant did not persecute Mrs. Bo and Mrs. Qi, and also named Liu Heng as the acting king, so that Mrs. Bo's mother and son could enjoy happiness.
He knew that his time was short, and after Mrs. Bo hurriedly led Liu Heng to the fiefdom, Liu Bang ordered someone to write a testament and pass the throne to the crown prince Liu Ying, and soon died.
After Liu Ying succeeded to the throne, Lu Pheasant was named the queen mother, and listened to the government, Liu Ying was weak by nature and did not dare to be disobedient.
Mrs. Qi was humiliated and died tragically, Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, was killed, three generations were executed, Lu Pheasant persecuted the king surnamed Liu, and the Lu family controlled the court.
Madame Bo is the only harem concubine who escaped the persecution of Lu Pheasant and was able to live in peace.
She led Liu Heng to live in peace in the fiefdom and acted very low-key, and Lu Pheasant gradually forgot about her.
She remembered Chu Yun's merits and wanted to reward him and give him a high official, but Chu Yun was gone.
Chu Yun and Zhang Zhao went to the land of Qilu in Shandong, and Guiguzi was suspected of being imprisoned in Linzi, the old Qi capital.
"The Demon Whitebeard Sparrow is my Guigu Pai's nemesis, we must not be reckless." Chu Yundao.
They have been investigating the Demon Bearded Sparrow for more than ten years, and there have been no clues, no wonder this organization has been invisible for hundreds of years, and almost no one knows of their existence.
The two stayed in Linzi for a month, always looking for the mysterious organization.
Originally, Chu Yun and Wang Xu suspected that Zhao Gao was the leader of that organization, but when Zhao Gao died, they told him the truth, but Zhao Gao failed to provide more clues.
Chu Yun and Wang Xu were very concerned about this matter, but the mysterious organization was too well hidden, and they did not come out again since Han Ling united with the Hundred Schools of Sons to encircle and suppress them.
Only the hundreds of famous houses of Zhuzi know their clues, and they can't start if they want to investigate.
They hibernate and secretly investigate, and finally one thing caught Chu Yun's attention.
This was something he had discovered by accident, and he saw an old woman who was very old and hobbling with a sugar gourd in one hand and a small rattle in the other, looking very ordinary.
Both of these things are things that children like, and when the old woman holds them, most people think that she is going to take them back to her grandson.
But the direction of the old woman's walk is the grave mountain of Linzi, even if her grandson dies, but if she wants to worship, she must choose a date.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, the world advocated superstition, and they all felt that the tomb was very unlucky, so the time to sweep the tomb, in addition to the Qingming Festival, also had a special day.
Chu Yun looked at the old woman's steps, which seemed to be very ordinary, but in fact, she was a hidden master.
If he hadn't noticed the old woman, he would have thought she was an ordinary person.
They followed the old woman to the grave hill, and when she put the sugar gourd and the drum in front of a broken stone tablet, they returned.
Chu Yun and Zhang Zhao looked at each other, the two nodded, Zhang Zhao left to track down the old woman, and Chu Yun stayed to see who would take those two things in the end.
He waited an hour, and saw two men in black appear, and they glanced at the stele, picked up the sugar gourd and the drum, and left one thing behind, and went away.
Chu Yun took a closer look, he didn't follow the man in black, he was attracted by what they left behind.
It was a polished plate with some grated grain on it.
"The grinding plate is placed on a stone tablet, and on it is placed the ground grain."
He muttered, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Mopan Mountain, Guiguzi!
Chu Yun understood the secret words, the worn plate alluded to the mill mountain, and the ground millet alluded to the ghost valley, grinding it and putting it on the tomb mountain, the meaning was to kill it.
