Chu Shenxia saw that Liu Yan had not returned for a long time, so he had to go back to the pile of letters, and slowly flipped through them, and after reading them for so many days, Chu Shenxia found that King Qin often had correspondence with a person named Gongsun Li. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This Gongsun Oak is the world-famous Wu Guo Taifu, after the destruction of Wu State, Gongsun Oak moved his family to the north, living in seclusion in the wilderness of Chenzhou.

He has no children under his knees, only one daughter, known as Gongsun Yunshu, this Gongsun Yunshu is no one else, it is Qian Chong's lover in his early years, Gongsun Li was very opposed to the two at that time, and he didn't want to hurt his daughter in the end.

After the headless case that year, Zhao Chuzhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, searched for these correspondence in his home, although the letters only discussed some political views and Taoist Confucianism, but the emperor still suspected that the two were plotting against each other.

It is no wonder that the emperor was suspicious, at that time, something happened one after another, and the piles pointed to King Qin, even if the emperor believed in King Qin, in the face of so much evidence, he had to believe it.

"Your Highness, Lord Chu is waiting for Your Highness in the palace."

Chu Shenxia heard the sound outside the hall, so he stood up, and walked two steps on crutches very anxiously, and the first thing Liu Yan asked when he stepped into the hall was: "What did you do to find me in a hurry before?" ”

Chu Shenxia didn't answer and asked, "Where did Your Highness go?" Did you go to see Wang Quanming? Does he want to form an alliance with His Highness? ”

Facing Chu Shenxia's continuous questioning, Liu Yan was a little stunned, came back to his senses and nodded, "You guessed it early in the morning?" No wonder you were so excited, I did go to see him and reached a consensus with him. ”

"Consensus? What consensus? Who is Wang Quanming, I have told His Highness more than once that he is very cunning and unapproachable, and His Highness will not listen to it, and he will even do the opposite! From Liu Yanyi's expression when he walked into the hall, Chu Shenxia had secretly exclaimed in his heart, and when he saw him answer easily, his heart was even more on fire.

Liu Yan took two steps towards the table and sat down slowly. picked up an official document and said while reading it: "I understand what you mean, are you just afraid that the power of his Langya Wang clan is too great, hindering and threatening the Southern Song Dynasty?" Wang Quanming has decided to marry Ruoyu to me. From now on, I will control the power of the Langya Wang clan, so wouldn't it be a sure victory? ”

When Chu Shenxia heard him say this, he was stunned on the spot, especially when he was speechless for a while by his light tone.

"It seems that His Highness has made up his mind. I don't need to say more, I just want to advise His Highness to get power for a while, and it will be desolate for eternity. ”

Liu Yan looked up at him in astonishment, but saw that he hadn't even saluted, so he walked out of the hall on crutches and left angrily, Liu Yan couldn't help but recall what he had just said.

Gaining power for a while, desolate for eternity?

Chen Xian, who was mentioned by Liu Zhengsheng yesterday, participated in his book in front of the emperor today, and the emperor once said. Those who indiscriminately bite the prince will be punished with a cane or a degraded official, but Chen Xian still took this huge risk to join him.

It is said that Simen Hu broke the bizarre death case, the emperor detained this chapter privately at that time, and at the same time summoned Liu Yan into the palace, both father and son knew that Liu Yan was forced to leave Jiankang, and it was affected by this case. Naturally, I want to ask Liu Yan.

Fortunately, Chu Shenxia had already found the wrong things that Simen Hupo had committed through the official edicts left by Chu Zhi and Lu Xiufu.

"It was indeed Erchen's subordinates who killed Hu Po by mistake." Liu Yan was straightforward and did not hide it at all. But his expression didn't change half a point, and he seemed to take it for granted.

The emperor's eyes sank, and he turned the Buddha beads in his hand uneasily, unable to understand: "Zishun? Did you really do it? Do you know what that means? Hu Po is the Simen, one of the three divisions in charge of Jiankang, and the three divisions are directly under me. Aren't you slapping me in the face by doing this? ”

"Just because the tiger is really angry, often use power for personal gain, abuse lynching, after the son returned to Jiankang this time, he began to investigate the tiger break, and finally counted clearly, only one year to Jiankang, but there were sixty-nine innocent people who died in his hands, the number is so large that it is embarrassing." Liu Yan's face flashed with a deep disgust, and his words did not hide his hatred for this person at all.

"Oh? How could there be such a thing? The Emperor was astonished that many of his ministers were secretly fond of lynching, and he knew some of them, but he did not know that they were so serious.

Liu Yan straightened up and said in a deep voice: "Not only that, but he often arrests rich people for no reason, so as to obtain money, and all the money is used in casinos and Fenghua Land, he is really the first corrupt official." Erchen has a subordinate eldest brother, he was caught by him for no reason, the subordinate naturally can't sit idly by, when he went to the mansion to argue with him, Hu Po made the first move, and the subordinate killed someone by mistake. In order to hide his eyes, he disguised Hu Po as a suicide and fled that night. Erchen didn't know about it at the time, and it wasn't until recently, feeling guilty, that he came back to tell me everything. ”

After hearing this, the emperor frowned slightly, lowered his head and paced back and forth, suddenly looked up at Liu Yan, saw that his face was always as usual, with a little indignation, and lowered his head again, and finally sat down and said: "Father naturally believes in you, Hu Po really deserves to die, but your subordinate left his master and fled when something happened, it is inevitable that there are some villains, since it is manslaughter, and it is the minister who killed, then the punishment should not be less." ”

Liu Yan was stunned, raised his head and looked at the emperor, the emperor met his gaze, and said in a deep voice: "However, if he can go to the Punishment Temple to explain all this by himself, and he is willing to accept the punishment, it is not that he cannot be dealt with lightly." ”

The emperor's implication was already very obvious, Liu Yan was busy thanking his subordinates, and then he came out of the palace without danger.

The father and emperor doted on himself so much, and in this case, he also put himself in his own shoes, hoping that someone would turn himself in to clear his suspicion.

The more Liu Yan thought about it, the more he felt that he was unfilial, his father had made up for the lack of favor in his childhood over the years, and this favor was not exaggerated compared with Liu Yu back then, but he disobeyed his father again and again, and always wanted to overturn the case and uncover the scars in his father's heart, and couldn't help but shed tears at the moment.

Back in the East Palace, Liu Yan originally wanted to inform Chu Shenxia about Fang Cai, but he remembered that he had only been angry with him at noon today, and he didn't want to put a hot face on his cold buttocks, so he gave up.

"Your Highness." Ruoyu suddenly appeared in front of him and bowed.

Liu Yan nodded slightly and invited her into the main hall, but in half a day, the relationship between the two changed dramatically.

Before that, Ruoyu was Liu Yan's subordinate and did some things for him, but now, it is the link between the Langya Wang family and the East Palace, and the future side concubine.

In fact, in Ruoyu's heart, she doesn't like to marry Liu Yan by marriage, she is such a proud woman, she only hopes to stay with her beloved, but in the current situation, how can it be that Liu Yan really loves her?

But she felt that his father was right, if he didn't marry, Liu Yan would ascend to the throne in the future, and the first person to die would be him, Wang Quanming.

"Your Highness, my father chose an auspicious day, January 18, and he hopes that His Highness will mention this matter to the emperor as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night." Ruoyu couldn't find a trace of joy on his face at all.

Liu Yan felt very surprised, Ruoyu liked herself, he felt it, but now it seems that she has a trace of reluctance, and she can't help but ask: "Ruoyu, don't you want to marry me?" If you don't want to get married, I won't force you. ”

The corners of Ruoyu's mouth hooked slightly, since her marriage was related to the survival of the family, how could she be petty, and replied indifferently: "Your Highness is too careful, it's too late for me to be happy." ”

Liu Yan saw that she was really reluctant, and he didn't know what to say at this time, so he had to pick up the tea in front of him and drink it, but Ruoyu didn't take his embarrassment to heart, and said: "Father also asked me to tell His Highness that the stones that hinder His Highness will be cleaned up one by one, no matter how big or small." ”

Liu Yan's eyes were misty, he didn't speak, but the hand holding the teacup couldn't help but clench secretly, and said in his heart, Ruoyu, if it comes to the day when the war is decided, you must not hate your father, if you want to hate, hate me alone.

After Ruoyu left, Chu Shenxia slowly walked out of the inner hall, sat down where she had just sat down, and asked contemplatively, "Your Highness has thought about it?" If you really want to do this, is it too cruel to her? ”

"No matter how ruthless I am, I can't compare to his father, and I actually sent my own daughter to the East Palace, which is undoubtedly a big gamble for him and Liu Yu." Liu Yan put down the teacup in his hand, put his hands behind his back, and sighed leisurely towards the door.

The quarrel at noon was just the appearance of the two of them, Donggong's eyeliner was messy, they had to be careful with every step, as long as they took a wrong step, it would affect the whole body.

Liu Yan had no intention of using the power of the Langya Wang clan from the beginning, relying on power and not taking the right path, such a path was the one he despised the most, and it was also the one he knew the most.

pretended to form an alliance, married Ruoyu, and went step by step according to the path laid by Wang Quanming, winning his trust, and then it was time for them to fight back, and it was also the time when the Langya Wang clan was uprooted.

It's just that in this big gamble, there are always innocent people who will be implicated and hurt, but for him, he has no choice, and this way is undoubtedly the fastest and safest.

"Who does Your Highness plan to send to surrender?" Chu Shenxia suddenly asked.

Liu Yan turned around and glanced at him, pondered for a long time, and didn't say a name, Chu Shenxia pretended to be scared and said, "Your Highness doesn't want me to turn myself in." ”

"It would be great if you could go." Liu Yan walked up to him with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Who would want to be in this prison without any trouble?" Although my father said that he could be punished lightly, he would not be less imprisoned. ”

Lu Zhi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "Your Highness, I'll go, I'm in good health, but I'm only a few years in prison, and I can afford it." ”

Liu Yan glared at him, Lu Zhi caught his look, knowing that he must have said something wrong, he immediately fell silent, Chu Shenxia teased: "What else does Your Highness care?" Some people are eager to go? Hahaha......"
