The second is Zhou Yang's desperate letter, which is a torn off placket, which reads: "When the father entered the palace, Uncle Tian came to the door, saying: 'The son of man should respect filial piety, the old man is old, and there is a period for the big one, when the funeral shield is placed for the blessing of the father, the official Shang Fang happens to have excess armor shield for sale, and he can go to buy it'.

So follow it, who expected that it was a traitor's conspiracy to kill the old man, this matter was done by me alone, not to do the responsibility of the old man, and now I will die and pray to the emperor to see. ”

After Liu Qi finished reading one, he handed it to Cheng Buzhi on the left, and Cheng Buzhi passed it to Liu She after reading it, and then slowly passed it on, but no one handed it to Dou Ying, who was side by side with Li Han in the middle.

The third is Zhou Yafu's desperate letter, and it is also a robe: "The traitorous king is reluctant, tempting the important ministers of the court to do rebellious things with heavy profits, dominating the land, and the general is about to change hands."

The old man is trying to investigate thoroughly, but he was framed, and now his beloved son has died tragically, what is the use of the old man living in the world? Let's go, the old man will be perfect, go with Yang'er, and laugh at how you are killed by Tianlei! ”

Unexpectedly, there was an implied rebellion among the princes and kings, Liu Qi's heart sank, his eyes flashed, and he glanced up at Li Han, Li Han squeezed his eyes at him, and he didn't know what the intention was, Liu Qi understood that Li Han had already made up his mind about this matter, so he put his mind at ease.

After Cheng Buzhi finished reading it with Liu She, his two faces turned pale, and the ministers quickly read it, and other testimonies were also read, including Wei Jin's confession that his negligence caused Zhou Yang to commit suicide.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court has been the most ruthless in cracking down on the case of rebellion, and it is often widely implicated, even the nine clans, and now Zhou Yafu is dying to say such an inside story, and everyone here belongs to the "important ministers of the court" who may have a relationship with the "traitorous king", and no one can escape suspicion, if he makes inappropriate remarks, the emperor is jealous. That's self-defeating.

Dou Ying reluctantly waited for a long time, but found that the atmosphere was getting more and more weird, and finally couldn't help but snatch a few pieces of paper from Tian Wei's hand and read it, and he also turned into a clay wood carving.

Li Han's voice broke the silence: "You must be familiar with the prime minister's handwriting, does Wei Qihou think that this desperate letter was forged by me?" Do you still think that I forced Zhou Xiang's father and son to death? ”

Dou Ying was also dumbfounded, he never expected that the development of this matter would completely deviate from the track he envisioned, and even implicate the rebellion, this can no longer be careless, today his crusade against Li Han is the most intense, in order to establish a pattern of the ministers headed by him. further used to overthrow Li Han to establish prestige for Zhou Yafu's grievances, and then took down the position of prime minister in many ways.

However, now that things have reversed, if you continue to be tough, not only will the prime minister not be able to get it, but it is very likely that he will be regarded as a rebellious minister who was bought by the "traitor king" with heavy profits, and it will be impossible to steal chickens and rice.

Dou Ying immediately shouted: "Oh my God, the emperor, the minister never expected that Zhou Xiang's death was deeply implicated. I misunderstood Shaofu Cheng before, and I asked Shaofu Cheng not to be surprised, and I implore the emperor to order someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, and never let the rebellion become the climate! ”

Liu Qi asked coldly, "Who else has something to say?" ”

Liu She said: "Your Majesty." Since this matter involves rebellion, it is indeed not possible to be careless, and he also asked the emperor to send another important minister to assist Shaofu Cheng and Tingwei Mansion to jointly investigate the case thoroughly. ”

Liu Qi said suddenly: "Since Prime Minister Zhou is dead, the position of Prime Minister must not be empty. I ordered Liu She, the imperial historian, to take over the position of prime minister. ”

"Huh?" Liu She was taken aback, and a burst of ecstasy soon surged in his heart. Hurry up and bow to Shane.

Dou Ying's face was like pig's liver, he never expected that he had worked hard and planned for a long time, but he made a wedding dress for the good old man Liu She.

The emperor's appointment of the prime minister was so sudden and decisive, although the other ministers were surprised, they also congratulated Liu She one after another.

Liu Qi raised his hand and continued: "I ordered the Marquis of Jianling to be the crown prince and the prince, and he was appointed as the imperial historian, and from now on he will preside over the investigation of the rebellion case, and Li Han and Zhang Ou are still involved in the investigation. ”

Wei Juan was also stunned, a crown prince's hat fell from the sky, it was a foot high, and it was dazzling with golden light, the key is that there is no risk!

Although Dou Ying was also the crown prince at that time, everyone knew that the emperor hated Liu Rong's mediocrity, and even more hated Concubine Li's arrogance, and he had already had the heart of abolishing the prince.

Wei Juan also bowed and thanked him, and the ministers congratulated him again.

Dou Ying felt even more embarrassed, and involuntarily moved the mat to leave the central position, and forcibly did not leave in advance.

Li Han sat there like no one else, looking at Liu She and Wei Juan, as if he didn't know that the court had gone from a crowd of people to a congratulatory celebration today, all of which were created by him alone.

After the congratulatory announcement ended, the freshly baked prime minister Liu She quickly found his position and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's testament to Zhou Xiang is indeed his own handwriting, so it should be true that there is a traitorous king's rebellion, especially Zhou Xiang's mention that the general in the Bashang military camp is about to be replaced is particularly important."

The general Liu Li was cautious and governed the army very strictly, and it was the most reliable to guard the east gate of the capital, so the emperor could not be easily replaced. ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "Liu Li has already asked for the removal of his armor and returned to the field, and I have promised him that he will satisfy him as long as he finds a suitable candidate, and the day before yesterday, King Liang recommended a suitable candidate, which is the general of Anyi, Lu Jizhu, what do you think?" ”

On the eve of Li Han's abduction by Canglong, King Liang sent Gongsun Yi and Yang Sheng to murder Yuan An, leaving a weapon with polished handwriting at the scene, and was recognized as a weapon of Liang State, Liu Qi sent two people to Liang State to ask for the murderer, and it was Uncle Tian and Lu Jizhu who were sent, and the two brought back the heads of Gongsun Yi and Yang Sheng, but they burned the investigation evidence.

At that time, many people talked about Uncle Tian and Lu Jizhu doing this to help Emperor Jing complete his filial piety and brotherhood, which can be regarded as eliminating the charge of King Liang's mastermind, so as not to make the queen mother worry because of the disagreement between the two sons, and not let the emperor bear the notoriety of killing his younger brother because of his younger brother's guilt, so both of them have been promoted and reused.

Unexpectedly, today Uncle Tian was first found to have instigated Zhou Yang, and also coerced and lured Qin You, obviously with ill intentions, plus Zhou Yafu's suicide note named the "traitorous king", and also mentioned that the overlord general changed hands, immediately, Liu Qi pointed out that King Liang recommended Lu Jizhu, now, who is the "traitorous king", isn't it about to come out?

Li Han said suddenly: "Your Majesty, King Liang is known as the 'God of War' among the people, during the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms in the early years, he supported independently for a long time, and finally helped you quell the rebellion. ”

At this moment, the ministers are confused, the relationship between Liu Li and Li Han is well known, and it should be Li Han who should not approve of removing Liu Li and replacing him with Lu Jizhu, why is he the first to approve? What's more, how can we investigate whether King Liang is a prince who intends to rebel?

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Yes, I also think that this person is very appropriate, since this is the case, I will issue an edict to order Liu Li to resign and appoint Lord Lu Ji as the general of the Bashang military camp." ”

Wei Juan said in horror: "Please think twice, General Liu is young and strong and has no mistakes, why did he order him to disarm and return to the field?" Even if it is to appoint Lu Jizhu as the general of the Bashang military camp, General Liu Li can also be replaced, why not use it? ”

Liu Qi said lightly: "Everyone has their own aspirations, Liu Li's resignation is very resolute, he is really unwilling to continue to be an official, since this is the case, I will fulfill him." ”

At this moment, no one spoke, and the matter was settled.

Since the case has to continue to be investigated, and Li Han has come up with conclusive evidence that he did not force Zhou Yafu and his son to death, there is nothing to say, and everyone disperses.

Li Han didn't leave, he wanted to come, but Liu Qi nailed him to the ground with a cold snort.

When the ministers were dispersed, the emperor stood up and walked to the harem with his hands behind his back, and the little son-in-law had to lower his eyebrows and follow the old man's buttocks, and the two walked into the queen's residence, but the queen was not in the palace, and went to Changle Palace to see the queen mother, which was also very quiet.

After driving out the chamberlain and the palace maid, Liu Qifang asked with a cold face, "Have you already found out?" Isn't it Liu Wu? ”

Li Han nodded categorically and said, "Yes, father." ”

Liu Qi clenched his two fists, controlled the monstrous anger in his heart, and said indifferently: "The last time he failed to seek the prince, he sent his subordinates to assassinate the ministers of the court, I have already given him enough face in the face of the queen mother, I really expect him to be able to repent and be his prince of peace, but I didn't expect him to still miss my throne, and dare to collude with thieves to frame the minister and seek to seize the monarchy, hum!" ”

Li Han understands the emperor's mood, and on the side of the couch, he allows others to sleep soundly?

Imperial power has always been the most cruel object of contention for the royal family, for this dragon chair, how many husbands and wives turn against each other, brothers are separated, father and son are contradictory, and even mother and son also calculate each other, all in order to be the emperor of one dynasty, the supreme of the ninety-five.

It is said that Liu Qi is filial enough to his mother and friendly enough to his younger brother, but the attraction of this throne is too great, so that Liu Wu can abandon all family affection and take risks, so the emperor's anger cannot be calmed.

Liu Qi is a very forbearant person, and he is also a rare emperor in history who does not like to talk and knows his heart, even in the face of his most trusted son-in-law, he is not used to giving out his thoughts and thoughts.

Liu Qi has decided that he must not condone Liu Wu this time, and he will immediately make the matter public and send troops to arrest King Liang and return to Beijing to ask for the crime, but before that, it is necessary to fully grasp the evidence of Liu Wu's rebellion, so that the Queen Mother has nothing to say.
