Chapter 45: Turmoil

Seeing Liu Xiu standing there, the emperor was silent for a long time, sighed and said:

"But he is my brother after all, and I am not an unkind person, so I left him a bloodline before he gave birth."

Liu Xiu frowned, and understood in his heart that the emperor's so-called 'leaving a bloodline' was just to contain the king of Pingxi, and in order to stabilize the country and not fall into the hands of the side veins, this bloodline must not be a man. Baby, thinking of this, he couldn't help but exclaim:

"It's Princess Liu Ying!"

The Emperor nodded and said slowly:

"Yes, if she wasn't the daughter of the imperial brother, I would have married her to Shu a long time ago, so why bother with all these troubles. After the prince of Shu proposed marriage, I arranged for Yaheng to secretly visit the folk girl in the people, and find someone close to Liu Ying to pretend to be a princess, so as to make peace for her afterwards. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed after hearing this, but he didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, the emperor's eyes were cold, but he still smiled "kindly" and said:

"After that, it's your credit, because you and the princess have been familiar with each other since childhood and have a cowardly personality, I asked Yaheng to find you, so that you can teach the fake princess court etiquette and Liu Ying's daily behavior, so as to achieve the effect of confusing the real with the fake."

Liu Xiu looked up at the emperor who was sitting on the chair, even the father and son were still so far apart, and said:

"So my father, you have been letting your child accompany you in the palace for the past two years of your illness, and it is also because of this?"

The emperor frowned, looked at the child in front of him who suddenly looked a little weak, and said strangely:

"What's the matter?"

Liu Xiu said astringently:

"Because King Pingxi has become your stand-in."

After hearing this, the emperor smiled, half-closed his eyes, and looked at Liu Xiu, this time Liu Xiu's deep eyes were no longer lowered, but looked at him calmly.

The Emperor smiled slightly, stood up from his chair, and said:

"Yes, you have been serving me and King Pingxi for the past two years, can you see the clues?"

Liu Xiu shook his head and said frankly:

"Nope."

When the emperor heard his answer, he laughed and said:

"Even you didn't see it, it seems that my imperial brother is really good at fake and real skills, but it's a pity that he died for me after all, although he is loyal to the country, but my heart hurts a lot!"

Liu Xiu's face turned white, and the words came to her mouth, but she didn't say them.

The emperor looked at Liu Xiu and stopped, with a slightly stubborn face, and raised his eyebrows, but immediately endured it again, after all, it was his own son in front of him!

But can't this clever boy see my heart for him? Jiangshan Sheji, except for the inheritance, there is no family affection at all!

The Emperor sighed and said:

"Do you know why I'm suing you about this?"

Liu Xiu was stunned, his eyes flashed, and he realized in his heart, but he still resisted, so he didn't speak.

The emperor looked at him, and then looked at the "Dingbang" pavilion surrounded by the river, and said earnestly:

"This palace is very bright in the eyes of outsiders, and the people who live in it enjoy the glory and wealth that are rare in the world, thinking that we will be very happy, happy and happy, father and son are harmonious, and brothers are of the same heart, but where do they know the helplessness and troubles of the emperor's family? However, you are not a stupid person, you have thought of this a long time ago, and you also have a lot of actions in secret, the masked army that suddenly appeared outside your second brother's mansion to resist Rojo was arranged by you, right? ”

He waved his hand, not letting Liu Xiu answer, and continued:

"But when the world is about to overturn, the meaning of brotherhood is precious, now the world is unstable, people's minds have changed, you are not yet able to be alone in the world, I can't die, but there are too many people to kill me, and I have limited energy in my illness, so I have to learn from Liu Ying and my relatives, and find a substitute, and King Pingxi is the best candidate."

Speaking of this, the emperor glanced at Liu Xiu and said:

"It's just that I didn't expect that the first person who wanted to kill me was my own flesh and blood! Although I was prepared in my heart, I was still a little uncomfortable when it came to the end. ”

Liu Xiu was shocked when he heard this, looked up at the emperor's face as if he had suddenly aged, and his heart was also a little sour, he stared at the old man sitting in the chair, slowly lowered his head, and hid the irrepressible vibration in his eyes, as well as a trace of sadness, and admiration from the heart.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear it!

The emperor's gaze swept back and forth on Liu Xiu a few times, smiled faintly, turned his eyes to the dark room in the pavilion again, shook his head, and said:

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Liu Xiu raised his head slightly, kowtowed to the emperor, and said respectfully:

"Erchen, Erchen, thank you!"

Then there was no more speech, and there was silence in the inner river, in the pavilion.

The emperor glanced at Liu Xiu deeply, then swept the dark room in the pavilion with cold eyes, and said lightly:

"Okay, since there's nothing else to do, let's step back, I'm tired and want to rest."

Liu Xiu kowtowed again and retreated.

In the pavilion, only the emperor was left, and a light breeze came to his face and blew on the emperor's cheeks, but it made the emperor, who was still majestic and invincible just now, cough violently.

After a while, he stopped coughing and gasped for breath, and at this moment he leaned weakly in his chair like a lonely ordinary old man.

The emperor turned his head, looked at the dark room in the pavilion, and said:

"They're all gone, they're all gone, hehe, my three sons, it's really a headache for me!"

He smiled bitterly, and the witnesses relaxed, lay flat on their chairs, wrapped their clothes tightly, and looked at the door of the dark room, as if he could only truly relax himself in this dark room, facing his dead brother:

"The three of them are really not as good as you and me, back then, you took the initiative to give way to me for the sake of the Han Kingdom, taking into account the overall situation, so there is the current situation of the Han Dynasty, but,"

When the emperor said this, he was suddenly silent for a while, and then shook his head and smiled:

"I also know that in front of the throne and in front of absolute power, there are a few people in the world who can see it, but I'm afraid you didn't feel good back then."

The emperor shook his head again, and heyed, as if he had been immersed in the past for a while, before he slowly walked out, settled his mind, and said to himself:

"But now the Han is in chaos again, this is caused by my indecision, hesitation, and ruthlessness, I failed to choose one person back then, so that the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu gang formed a faction, and the situation is the same, if it weren't for Liu Xiu's assassination of the hundred masters, giving me a reason to take down the second Liu Zhao, I'm afraid that the situation is worse now, hey, now there are two factions, if one side gains power, the other faction will inevitably be inevitable, in order to survive there is only rebellion, now the foreign enemy is around, and the slightest carelessness will be in danger! I became the emperor in vain, and I was forced to the point of making a dangerous move and killing Liu Rui! ”

After speaking, the emperor coughed a few more times, and only stopped for a while, looked at the dark room and said:

"This mess, I must not allow him to continue, it's time to pave a way for Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu dares to threaten me with Yingge, I will destroy his Yingge first, I want him to know that as long as I am alive, this world is not his."

After speaking, he sighed and said with a wry smile:

"In fact, at the beginning, I left Liu Xiu by my side, I had the intention to make him the crown prince, in the past, only he had nothing to do with the forces of the DPRK and China, and he succeeded to the throne, and the factions had no worries about losing power, but I hated him for being cowardly, afraid that the people would not be convinced, and I was afraid that his two brothers would not be able to settle down, but now Liu Xiu has more means than his two brothers, and I don't want to hand over this throne to him in my heart, people's hearts are really unpredictable."

He coughed again, and only stopped for a while, and his face, which had been somewhat gray, suddenly turned an abnormal crimson.

The hand that covered his mouth, a drop of blood, fell-

The news spread quickly, and on the second day, the big battle in front of the palace gate spread throughout Luojing, and the news spread rapidly to all sides with Luojing as the www.biquge.info of the Fun Pavilion.

In the past few days, the most tiring thing is the spies stationed in Luojing City.

But fortunately, the emperor did not die, he was still alive, and even at noon, the emperor was still under the escort of the Imperial Forest Army, and took the imperial drive around the capital, according to the people who had seen the emperor, his complexion was very good.

Blessings to the Empire, blessings to the people!

That's what people say.

But in the eyes of the people of the empire, the situation in Luo Jing became grim again.

First of all, the Imperial Forest Army has all been replaced, and secondly, the curfew is more severe, and after nightfall, the imperial capital is dead silent, and a huge city reveals a desolate and cold meaning.

Then the people heard the news again, and the emperor's order came from the imperial court, and elite soldiers were recruited from all over the country to supplement the imperial forest army, so that the number of soldiers and horses directly under the emperor in the capital rose to 50,000.

Even the metropolis of Luojing, which is second to none in the entire sacred capital, is a little cramped and crowded under the filling of these soldiers and horses.

At this time, it was also time for the change of guards, and a total of 80,000 troops came to the capital from other places and were temporarily stationed outside the city, and the general of the garrison was a handsome, tall young man with a warm smile on his face.

His name is Zhang Duo, and he is a general who has just been appointed after walking out of the prince's mansion.

It's just that in this world, only a few people know his real name, and he is not called Zhang Duo, but Ouyang He.

Although the 80,000 troops did not enter the city, according to the people who entered and exited the city, those soldiers were not like those who had been changed in previous years, their clothes were worn and the spirit was decadent, but they were bright, and they did not take off their armor all day long, and they looked like they were going to war, especially those war horses, who roared outside the city all day long, which made people feel chilling to hear.

And the crown prince, since the bloodshed outside the palace, after entering the palace once and meeting the emperor once, said that he occasionally felt cold, could not afford to be sick, and could not go to court early.

The British king Liu Xiu led his troops to attack the city gate without authorization, although he had the merit of saving the driver, but after all, he committed the following crimes, and the merit was not worth it, and he was temporarily detained in the prison to set an example.

The emperor began to restore the early dynasty, and the world seemed to suddenly restore calm.

Except for the two soldiers and horses inside and outside Luojing, which made people feel chills in their hearts, there was nothing unusual.

The officials and the people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, praying for the stability of the country and not for change.
