Chapter 108: Trying the Minister's Heart Beauty Poison Scheme
The matter was settled, Liu Hong was about to go to the naked palace to play, but he was too lazy to talk to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang saw that Liu Hong was not interested, so he prepared to leave. However, Liu Hong felt that letting Liu Zhang leave like this seemed to have a feeling of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, so he asked Liu Zhang to see He Lingsi and asked He Lingsi to give him a banquet! Anyway, every time Liu Zhang entered the palace, he had to see He Lingsi, and Liu Hong's arrangement was exactly what Liu Zhang wanted. What's more, if Liu Zhang enters the palace but doesn't go to see He Lingsi, the next time he is caught by He Lingsi, he will definitely be scraped off, and Liu Zhang doesn't want to be taught a lesson by a woman!
In Jianzhang Palace, after He Lingsi received Liu Hong's order, he couldn't help but be a little funny. The courtiers made meritorious contributions, but they wanted the queen to accompany them, Liu Hong, the emperor, did something unprecedented, as for whether there was anyone coming later, He Lingsi didn't know. However, if she asks Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang will definitely tell her: Yes!
Liu Zhang, under the guidance of Xiao Huangmen, slowly walked to Jianzhang Palace. He Lingsi had already prepared a banquet, and Liu Zhang entered Jianzhang Palace and was about to salute, only to hear He Lingsi smile and say: "Why do you have to be polite, come in and sit!" The palace has already prepared a wine banquet, and if you slow down, the food will be cold. ”
"Then you're welcome!" With the relationship between Liu Zhang and He Lingsi, it doesn't matter if you do it or not, but you still have to do it.
He Lingsi rolled his eyes and said, "You! It's not good to learn from anyone, and you have to learn from those old pedants, it's really boring. ”
Liu Zhang touched his nose and said, "Sister-in-law, my brother doesn't want to!" Recently, Old Man Cai moved to his brother's mansion. Being influenced by this old pedant all day long, it is inevitable that he will be stained with a bit of rotten Confucianism, helpless! ”
When He Lingsi heard this, he covered his mouth and snickered. Dare to say bad things about Cai Yong in Dahan, Liu Zhang is the only one. You must know that Cai Yong is not only Liu Zhang's teacher, but also his father-in-law. He Lingsi smiled: "Aren't you afraid of being heard by Old Man Cai?" If he doesn't marry his daughter to you, you won't have a place to cry! ”
"Don't be afraid!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "The royal brothers have been married, and Old Man Cai still doesn't dare to resist the decree!" ”
"You..." He Lingsi shook her head with a smile, she really didn't expect Liu Zhang to be such a scoundrel. However, she prefers this kind of Liu Zhang.
chatted with He Lingsi while eating, and after about half an hour, Liu Zhang glanced at the hall and suddenly asked, "Sister-in-law, where is Zhi'er?" ”
When He Lingsi heard this, she also found out that Liu Bian was not there, she was shocked, and immediately called the palace people and asked, "Have you ever seen the prince?" ”
A palace person said in fear: "Qi Yu Niangniang, just now the prince of Xie's son called the prince out!" ”
"Liu Xie? Not good! Liu Zhang said loudly: "Immediately inform Your Majesty that the prince is missing!" Let's go right away and find the prince! ”
"This..."He Lingsi looked at Liu Zhang in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?" Why is the royal brother so panicked! ”
Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "That Wang Meimei is scheming, if her son gets one or two points, he will not be able to deal with it!" I'm afraid, their mother and son have joined forces to frame Jie'er! There are not a few princes who have been assassinated in the palace! ”
"It's... How is it good? Hearing that his son might be in danger, He Lingsi's beautiful face turned very pale. As the saying goes: a mother is more expensive than a child. The women in the palace, whether they are queens or concubines, are the most important. If there are no heirs, even the queen is not worth mentioning.
"Find! Find out the prince immediately! Liu Zhang's face sank like water, and he remembered that Liu Xie in history was scheming at the age of nine. Although Liu Xie is only five or six years old now, it is difficult to guarantee that he is not a femme fatale. Even if he isn't, there is a Wang beauty by his side. According to He Lingsi, Wang Meiren has not assassinated Liu Wei once or twice.
Liu Hong was playing with the palace maid in the naked palace, and when he heard that his son was missing, he was immediately furious. I just don't know if he's angry because his son is missing, or because he's angry because he's been disturbed. However, the Son of Heaven was furious, and the entire palace was in chaos.
"Brother Huang, what the hell is going on?" Liu Hong, who came in a hurry, saw Liu Zhang and immediately asked him about the whole story.
Liu Zhang said with a gloomy face: "Brother Huang, the younger brother went to Jianzhang Palace to have a banquet, and he didn't see Jie'er for nearly an hour, and the younger brother was worried that something had happened to him!" ”
"What else can happen in the palace!" Liu Hong looked unhappy, just because he didn't see Liu Yan for an hour, he caused chaos in the palace, which is too much. However, Liu Bian is Liu Hong's son, and Liu Zhang's behavior made Liu Hong swallow all his dissatisfaction.
Liu Zhang saw that Liu Hong was unimpressed, and he asked lightly: "Dare to ask the imperial brother, how did Emperor Qian, Emperor Chong, and Emperor Mourning die?" ”
"This..."Liu Hong's face changed drastically: "You mean, someone wants to assassinate Jie'er?" ”
"Brother Huang, in fact, the younger brother doesn't want to take care of your family affairs, but the younger brother is close to you, if there is anything inappropriate, please forgive the imperial brother!" Liu Zhang glanced at Liu Hong, but found that Liu Hong's eyes were very sharp.
"All of them are for me to stand away, and no one will be close to me and the champion within a hundred steps!" After Liu Hong finished giving the order, he said to Liu Zhang: "Brother Huang, please say, come out of your mouth here and enter my ears!" ”
Liu Zhang said softly: "Brother Huang, you have two sons, Jie'er and Xie'er." No matter who you want to make the crown prince, you must choose between the two sons. Empress He has the backing of the general, and she is friendly with her younger brothers, and if she says something disrespectful, even if you let Xie'er be the crown prince in the future, he will not be able to sit still. At this point, if one of the two princes dies, you can only choose the other..."
Liu Hong's pupils shrank and said, "You mean, someone assassinated Jie'er for the throne?" ”
"Alas!" Liu Zhang sighed and said: "As soon as you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, and it is the most ruthless emperor's family!" How many emperors like the imperial brother have been there since ancient times? For the sake of the throne, there are both father and son, let alone brothers? Even if Xie'er doesn't want to be the emperor, it doesn't mean that others don't want him to be the emperor! ”
After listening to this, Liu Hong stared at Liu Zhang carefully for a long time, and suddenly asked, "What about you, the imperial brother?" In my opinion, you are also a member of the Han family, and you are even more capable, don't you want to be the emperor? ”
Liu Zhang laughed and said, "What are the benefits of being an emperor? It's too tiring to be a bright gentleman, but to be a faint gentleman is to be scolded, and even scolded for thousands of years! Boring! Maybe one day the younger brother wants to be the emperor, but there are two things that the younger brother will not do, one is to make the emperor's brother rebel, and the other is to seize the throne of the emperor. If the world is not the emperor's brother or the child, maybe the courtier's brother will make up his mind. ”
"What if I pass the throne to Xie'er?" Liu Hong stared at Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang smiled: "Then let's talk about it!" ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" A cold light flashed in Liu Hong's eyes.
Liu Zhang said with a smile: "If the imperial brother can really kill the subordinate brother ruthlessly, the subordinate brother will accept his fate!" ”
"Didn't you say that ruthlessness is the most emperor's family? Why can't I be ruthless? Liu Hong's aura is a little weak, but he is still a little unconvinced.
Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Maybe the imperial brother is not a Ming monarch, but he is a benevolent monarch, and he is very affectionate and trustworthy. is the most ruthless emperor's family, talking about those heroes, not benevolent monarchs like the imperial brother. Since he is a benevolent monarch, how could the imperial brother slaughter the minister for no reason, or a minister of the clan with great achievements like the younger brother? ”
"Good boy, don't you really know it?" Liu Hong laughed and said: "Now that the dispute between the imperial court and the prince is quite fierce, you actually want to tell me that you are a supporter of Zhu'er, right?" ”
"That's not right!" Liu Zhang looked at Liu Hong very proudly and said with a smile: "Actually, the younger brother is a supporter of the imperial brother, and he supports Jie'er, which is by the way." You must know that Jie'er is not only the eldest son of the emperor's brother, but also relatively close to his courtiers. If the imperial brother wants to choose an heir, the younger brother will naturally follow the imperial brother's wishes, but if the imperial brother asks the younger brother's meaning, the younger brother will naturally be more optimistic about the younger brother, because he and his mother are both kind-hearted people! ”
Liu Hong asked suspiciously: "What the imperial brother said is a little biased!" Then why is the queen kind-hearted, is Wang Meiren a femme fatale? ”
"Brother Huang, let's hurry up and find Zhi'er!" Liu Zhang sighed, in fact, Wang Meiren assassinated Liu Bi not once or twice. Every time Queen He told Liu Hong, Liu Hong thought she was framing Wang Meiren, but Liu Zhang knew that none of the women in the palace were idle.
"Your Majesty, there's news!" A small yellow door stood in the distance and shouted to Liu Hong, Liu Hong beckoned, and he dared to come over.
"Where's the prince?" Liu Hong is not stupid, he heard a lot of things from Liu Zhang's words. In fact, if Liu Hong works hard, with his ingenuity, it is not very difficult for Zhongxing Dahan, but it is a pity that he puts his ingenuity and talent into making money.
"In... Gui Gong..."Seeing that Liu Hong's face sank like water, Xiao Huangmen swallowed his saliva and replied.
"He's okay!" Liu Hong asked again.
Xiao Huangmen nodded and said, "When I found the prince, Wang Meiren was trying to feed her. However, it seems that the prince doesn't want to eat, Wang Meiren..."
"What!" When Liu Hong heard this, his face became more and more cold, and he asked coldly: "The things that Wang Meiren fed Jie'er were not thrown away, right?" ”
"Nope!" Xiao Huangmen said: "When the queen mother ordered us to look for the prince, she said that no matter where the prince is found, the place will be blocked immediately, and no matter whether it is people or things, they must not move." The palace maids and chamberlains present will all be taken down, even if they are concubines and beauties! ”
"Hmm!" Liu Hong nodded and said, "Lead the way!" The emperor's brother is with me. I want to see who dares to harm my son in the palace! ”
Liu Hong's words are full of anger and cruelty, although Liu Hong is not a good emperor and a good husband, it is undeniable that he is a good father. With the little yellow gate to the side hall of the Gui Palace, I saw Wang Mei, a few palace maids, and inner servants with an aggrieved face being caught by the guards, but Liu Bian sat aside in surprise.
Seeing Liu Hong entering the hall, Wang Meiren immediately shouted: "Your Majesty save me!" I wanted to invite the prince to eat, but the queen's people suddenly broke in, and said that the concubine assassinated His Royal Highness..."
"Shut up!" Looking at the furnishings in the hall, coupled with what Liu Zhang said, how could Liu Hong not know the cause and effect of the matter? If it was a few years ago, when Wang Meiren was favored, this would not be a big deal. But now, Wang Meiren is not much better than He Lingsi. What's more, Liu Zhang has already expressed his support for Liu Yan, and of course Liu Hong will not give Wang Meiren a good face.
