Chapter 120 Falling Chess Pieces

Hearing that Liu Xiu had been selected, the hall fell into silence for a moment, and after several powerful ministers of the country looked at each other, they all stepped forward and saluted, and said:

"I wonder which prince Your Highness thinks is suitable? If the bloodline is orthodox, the ministers should do their best to assist and dare not slack off. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed after hearing this, he waved his hand, and said:

"Do you still remember that Liu Hongwen has two royal brothers?"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, then fell silent, and after thinking for a while, Prime Minister Su Ze calmed down and saluted back:

"Returning to His Royal Highness, the first king has three sons, namely the prince Hongwen, the second prince Hongwu, and the third prince Huaiyi, of which the prince ascended the throne as the king, and the third prince Huaiyi died on the battlefield in a battle against Yan not long after the son ascended the throne, because of the light enemy's rash advance, and the second prince"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that a gaze shot at him in the darkness behind Liu Xiu in front of him, as if with a blazing fire of desire, scorching him.

He suddenly looked up and saw a figure standing there, and he could already see the outline.

His heart froze, he suddenly realized the identity of that person, secretly took a deep breath, as if he suddenly saw a glimmer of light, his heart was ecstatic, the thought in his mind turned sharply, reorganized the wording, but his face did not show it at all, bowed down and said:

"The second prince Liu Hongwu is above the three princes regardless of his intelligence and virtue, and he is deeply loved by the first king, and even has the heart of abolishing the long and young, because of this, the prince regards him as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and he can't get rid of it quickly, and finally shortly after the prince ascended the throne, he let the second prince send the second prince to Luojing in the empire in the name of resisting Yan for help, and then there was no news and he never came back."

As if in an instant, he felt that sharp gaze soften.

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed, he smiled and asked:

"I wonder if Su Xiang still remembers the appearance of the second prince?"

After Su Zewei hesitated, he responded:

"Although the old minister has a slight impression, even if he sees His Royal Highness the Second Prince at this moment, I am afraid that he will not be able to recognize it"

Liu Xiu smiled, withdrew his gaze from Su Ze, looked at the ministers, and said straightly:

"If Prince Hongwu stands in front of you at this moment, will anyone recognize him?"

This sentence immediately caused a small uproar among the ministers of the country opposite him.

While everyone was still discussing, they saw that Yin Liu Zhengyun of Dongping Mansion, who had been bowing his head and being silent, flashed his eyes, and suddenly walked out of the crowd tremblingly, coughed a few times, and pulled everyone's attention to him before bowing to Liu Xiu and slowly speaking:

"Your Royal Highness, the old minister gave lectures to the three princes more than ten years ago, and he was very impressed by the second prince and knew some of his secret characteristics, so even if His Royal Highness the prince's appearance changed too much, the old minister could recognize it."

As soon as the words fell, he heard someone behind him snort coldly and said in a muffled voice:

"After so many years, even I can't remember the appearance and actions of the second prince, just because you taught him a few days of schoolwork, it is really ridiculous and shameless to say that you can recognize him at this moment!"

Hearing such provocative words, Liu Zhengyun's eyes narrowed, and he was not angry, he still had a smile on his face, and said to Liu Xiu:

"After the prince ascended the throne, the old minister secretly moved to secretly evacuate the family members of the other two princes from the palace to protect them, for more than ten years, although people have gradually passed away, but now there are still many people who can recognize the second prince at a glance."

As if he hadn't said so many words for a long time, and he was a little exhausted, Liu Zhengyun coughed violently, and coughed for a long time before he gasped and stopped coughing.

Liu Xiu glanced at Liu Zhengyun deeply, his eyes were slightly vigilant, but there was appreciation, and then he turned his gaze to the ministers who were still at a loss, and said:

"Since Liu Fuyin is sure to recognize the second prince Liu Hongwu, then the king will no longer hide it from you, and His Royal Highness Liu Hongwu is in this hall."

After speaking, he waved his hand, and smiled at the guards who were whispering and looking around:

"Don't be anxious, this king will let him come out to meet you, of course, although the country is an imperial realm, but after all, its country is also a vassal country, open a government and build a state, if you are dissatisfied as a minister of a country, it is feasible to submit a chapter and abolish the holy words, if Liu Hongwu's talents and virtues are not of great use, you may wish to speak up, this king has no intention of favoritism."

Hearing this, Su Ze and Liu Zhengyun's eyes flashed, knowing that although Liu Xiu's words seemed fair, they actually implied cover-up, at that moment, the two glanced at each other, nodded, and said in unison:

"His Royal Highness is dedicated to the country, with the people in mind, the second prince can be by His Royal Highness's side for a long time, it can be seen that the second prince must also be a king with both ability and political integrity, and great talents, and the ministers must work together, do their best, and dare not slack off."

Liu Xiu laughed after hearing this, stood up from the chair, and praised:

"Good! With your words, this king is relieved! ”

With that, he turned and said to the figure who had been standing in the darkness for a long time:

"Your Highness has kept you waiting."

In the dark, Liu Hongwu took a deep breath and walked out slowly.

From now on, he will lose the identity of Liu Xiu's attendant Wa'er, and as the monarch of the kingdom, he will be lonely in the south.

The heart was beating like thunder, as if I felt that restless heart was about to rush out of my chest.

The road ahead, through the darkness, gradually unfolds in the sun, and at the end of the road, it is the pursuit of his life.

It was a dream that I once dared not dream of, and now it is right in front of me.

He sighed happily in his heart, and continued to walk slowly, as if walking on a bright road to power, about to reach the peak of the entire continent, standing there, looking down on all beings!

He looked at the dazzling sunlight in front of him in a daze, looked at the dust rolling in the light, and suddenly felt a little distracted.

Are you in the light, that tiny speck of dust?

Is it like the desperate young man who was chased and killed by Liu Hongwen and ran on the path in Luojing City?

Once upon a time, I had given up my dreams and became a struggling wasted person!

At the beginning, in front of his father, the young man who had ambitions and intended to chase horses and step on the world seemed to be at the end of the road, looking at himself, visible at a glance, but he was a little unreal in a trance.

He gritted his teeth, looked at the splendid country in front of him, looked at the patriotic world that was about to belong to him in front of him, and clenched his fists, but at a glance he saw the person at the end of the road, who was not tall, but like a mountain in front of him, he couldn't help frowning, and roared in his heart:

"Liu Xiu!"

Liu Xiu's figure, like a mountain shade, blocked the sunlight and projected a huge black shadow, completely covering the road.

And the end of the road is just around the corner!

He took a deep breath, smiled, and slowly walked out under everyone's gaze, and after a few moments, he stepped out of the darkness and stood in front of everyone.

There are many images in the depths of his memory, as if engraved in his mind and deeply imprinted in his dreams, and he will never forget them.

Then, inhale, smile, and speak:

"I'm back."

Opposite him, before the throne, how many people's eyes shifted from Liu Xiu to him!

It's a feeling of being looked up to, like standing on the top of a mountain and looking down on all beings.

Never giving up lightly, he took a step forward, his eyes narrowed slightly, bowed to Yin Liu Zhengyun of Dongping Mansion, and said:

"Long time no see, sir! Student Liu Hongwu greets him. ”

Everyone was silent, quietly looking at Dongping Mansion Yin, who was standing in the middle of the official train and had not yet returned to his position, everyone's eyes flashed with an unknown meaning, as if they had their own thoughts.

Liu Zhengyun looked at Liu Hongwu, who was about to sit facing the south and was about to sit facing south, looking at him with a humble face, and seemed to inadvertently turn his head to look at Liu Xiu, who had been not moving, sighed in his heart, and replied:

"Your Highness is polite, the old minister is ashamed."

Seeing this, Liu Hongwu raised his eyebrows, and after a few thoughts in his heart, he straightened up, walked to Liu Xiu's side, arched his hand to Liu Xiu, and said respectfully:

"Thank you Your Highness for your help in the past, I will definitely live up to it"

After a pause, he arched his hand to the west and continued, "I will definitely live up to His Majesty's ardent expectations. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes froze, but he still had a smile on his face, made a salute in his hand, and replied:

"Defending the territory of the country, the empire, I hope that His Royal Highness will do his best, be loyal to His Majesty and the Han Dynasty, and create a prosperous era for the people, and there will be no more 'Fengcheng conscription' rebellion."

Liu Hongwu's eyes flashed after hearing this, and he raised his head and stared deeply at this man who was now actually in power in the country, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain, and suddenly felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.

It seems that just his figure can cover the entire patriotic country.

Liu Hongwu suddenly felt a little frightened, he had been a servant to Liu Xiu for ten years, but at this moment, opposite him, he suddenly felt that he couldn't see his face clearly, and the current His Royal Highness seemed to be completely hidden in a dark shadow, not allowing him to see clearly.

It seems to be by his side, but he is as far away as the end of the world.

The end of the world is just around the corner! A deep and boundless ravine lies in front of the two, making them no longer as close as they used to be.

Liu Hongwu snorted coldly in his heart, and in the surprised gaze of the hundred officials, he clenched his fists again, he had finally come to this point, how could he give up lightly!

No matter who helps me, as long as they block my way to power, they will die!

As his eyes widened, the sunlight became even more dazzling.

On the other side, Liu Xiu stared at Liu Hongwu's uncertain and ever-changing face, his eyes flashed, he turned his head to face the ministers of the country, and said with a smile:

"After the ministers 'verified the identity' of His Royal Highness, the king presented a chapter and asked his father to ask His Highness to inherit the throne."

After hearing this, Liu Hongwu nodded and thanked him.

The two looked at each other for a while, as if they were two close friends, and suddenly they looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere instantly eased, and the ministers shouted Chitose.

After a while, when the laughter stopped, Liu Xiu waved his hand and said loudly:

"In this case, this king will wait for your news before handing over the chapter, you must do your duty for the world and the welfare of the people, you must do your best, and you must not deceive the world!"

"Don't dare!"

"Yes!"

The crowd shouted in unison.

The atmosphere is harmonious and warm, like a beautiful scroll of chatting among the ministers in a prosperous era. I1387
