Besides, he's just a child, and it's in his nature to be playful, so it's not much of a fault. Besides, a personality like him can only be channeled and not forced, so Li Wei said in a modest and peaceful tone: "Lord Jingfan and Lord Zhou Zhi have been in the city for a long time, Your Highness should go back to the camp and wait for news!" ”

"Just Uncle Yiguo!" Huo Wu smiled embarrassedly, he looked back, and saw that the guards were still kneeling on the ground, their faces were bruised from the cold, and their teeth were "gurgling".

"You can't wait to get up, do you want to freeze to death?" With that, he went back to the camp with his uncle.

……

In the early afternoon, after Shi Yu arranged Zhou Xiang, he went straight to the Liang Wangfu to restore the mansion.

During the few hours when Shi Yu went to the Han army camp, King Liang wandered anxiously in the palace hall. Regardless of whether the prince would accept the invitation or not, Huo Yong felt that he had fallen into a dilemma. He didn't know if the prince's plan to enter the city would succeed, and if Zhou Zhi, Li Wei and others saw through it, what would be the result?

In the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the leaders of the Seven Kingdoms rebelled, and the result was that the country was killed, and now he is alone, isn't he hitting a stone with an egg? Moreover, his original intention was only to intimidate the ministers of the DPRK and China against appointing him as the prince, and he did not want to cause fratricide. He is a well-known filial son, and he can't ignore the emotions of the Queen Mother; But he was also unwilling to personally send Liang Guang and Gongce to the guillotine. What's wrong with them? Isn't everything they do to make themselves hold the authority of Great Wu?

Last night, Liang Guang and Gong Ce got together with Huo Yong again, the three of them were drunk, and through the drunken eyes, Liang Guang looked at King Liang's frowning eyebrows, his beard shook violently, and said loudly: "Your Majesty! Since ancient times, loyal ministers have not been two masters. Since the ministers followed the king, they have been loyal, and the sky can learn from them. The actions of the ministers and Mr. Gongce are selfless, just because the king supports the Han family, covers the world, and masters the four seas, which is dictated by heaven. The courtiers supported the king as the prince, which was actually a move in response to the favorable times......"

Gongce took Liang Guang's words and said: "Since ancient times, the king has been defeated, and the matter has developed to this point, and the minister has no regrets. Since the ministers have followed the king, the orders of the ministers have returned to the king, not to heaven. The minister knew the king's difficulty, so he asked the king to order someone to bind the minister and wait until Changjun Anling to plead guilty. It is not a pity for the minister to die, but I am afraid that the king will have no hope from now on. After saying that, the two knelt on the ground and made a look of restraint.

"Alas! What are you doing here, how can this king not know you? Huo Yong stepped forward to help Gong Ce and Liang Guang, "Both of them are the ministers of this king, how could this king do such an unrighteous act?" ”

But when he climbed the city tower early this morning to look at the Wu army camp, the earth-shaking shouts of killing, the flags fluttering in the wind, and the guards patrolling outside the camp all made him understand that the court would never give up if the first offender was not captured. If the confrontation continues, even he will repeat the mistakes of the past.

When he returned to the palace, his mood was so bad that even the breakfast sent by Gong'e was thrown to the ground.

Now, he was pacing in the hall dejectedly, his hands unconsciously rubbing up and down, and complaining in his mouth that Shi Yu was procrastinating: "How did this Shi Yu do it?" I went for a long time and didn't come back. ”

Although he was in a hurry, he did not forget to ask about Gong Ce and Liang Guang. The government commander told him that since they parted last night, the two adults had only eaten a little.

"Have you eaten?"

"Eat! I ate a lot of wine. ”

"Drink to drown your sorrows!" Huo Yong waved his hand and ordered, "Vice Duke Liang is back and orders him to come and see him quickly." ”

As soon as the words fell, Shi Yu's voice came from outside: "Weichen is here to return to the king." ”

Huo Yong's brows suddenly expanded, and he hurriedly said: "Vice Duke Liang, please hurry up, come on!" Serve tea to Vice Duke Liang! ”

As soon as he sat down, Huo Yong couldn't wait to ask, "Vice Duke Liang, have you ever seen His Royal Highness the Prince?" How? Did the prince agree? ”

Shi Yu drank hot tea and replied calmly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still a good soldier, and he prefers to stay in the barracks. ”

"I'm afraid I can't trust this king, the imperial uncle!" Huo Yong sighed, "What is your impression of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" ”

Shi Yu put down the teacup and said: "Although the prince is small, he is talented and extraordinary, and according to the minister's dull eyes, I am afraid that the future is limitless." ”

"And what does he think about dealing with the matter at hand?"

"Your Highness said that the king is the emperor's brother and his uncle, and he will never do such a thing that goes against the will of the court. Zhou Xiang and Li Wei also thought that as long as King Liang handed over Liang Guang and Gongce, the emperor would definitely calm the anger of the thunder and be dealt with lightly. ”

Huo Yong shook his head and said, "Where Liang Guang and Gong Ce fled to, this king doesn't know. Isn't it difficult for a strong man to ask the whole country for so long, and he has not seen anyone alive or dead, but now he wants this king to hand over the first offender? ”

As soon as Huo Yong said this, Shi Yu fell silent. King Liang was too deep in this matter, and he couldn't extricate himself from it emotionally or from practical interests. Shi Yu knew that if the stalemate continued, he could only meet each other. At that time, the entire Luoyang Prefecture City of Xiguan was afraid that it would fall into a catastrophe, and he would inevitably fall into the disaster of "pond fish".

Bidding farewell to Huo Yong, Shi Yu staggered out of the hall with heavy steps, and when he walked to the snow in the courtyard of King Liang's mansion, he could no longer control his emotions. He turned back suddenly, fell to his knees on the snow and shouted heartbreakingly to the hall: "King Liang, the king of Luoyang Prefecture of Shengming's Xiguan!" Please plan for the people of Luoyang Prefecture City in Xiguan, and plan for the world of Dawu! After that, he couldn't cry, and only knocked the forehead of the sword that had been bathed in the wind and frost "dong" sound.

King Liang saw it from a distance, and his heart was greatly shocked. In an instant, Shi Yu, the former deputy prince of Liang, was ordered many times in danger, and the old things of solving problems for himself came to mind. He believed that Shi Yu was not the kind of person who was treacherous. Seeing the blood on his forehead staining the snow in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and hurriedly shouted to the guards standing by the steps: "Don't help Master Shi up yet!" ”

Shi Yu was helped into the hall, and Gong E called hot water to wash the bloodstains. King Liang found that he couldn't hide anything anymore, so he said bluntly: "Deputy Duke Liang is loyal and courageous, which moves this king, and this king can't hide it anymore no matter how big the secret is." ”

"So, the two thieves are indeed in the house?"

King Liang nodded embarrassedly and said: "They are all henchmen who have shed blood for this king for many years, at this time, if this king hands them over to the court, isn't this going to trap this king in injustice?" After the words fell, King Liang coughed lightly.

"The king's words are wrong!" Shi Yu moved his body and faced King Liang, "Your Majesty, can the minister ask the king a few questions?" All the minister needs is the king's truthful answer. ”

"If you have something to say, please speak!"

"Please let King Liang treat himself to Your Majesty, and compare it with other king-candidates, such as King Huaidong. Who is closer to the emperor? ”

"Of course it's not comparable."

"King Huaidong is the crown prince, and the emperor will be abolished as soon as he says a word, why? Those who smelt the world cannot mess with the public with private interests. Today, the head of the princes of the Liang throne, listening to the evil minister Ye Shao, violated the ban, scratched the law, and the emperor thought of the love of flesh and blood, so he couldn't bear to give the law to the king of Liang. Furthermore, if Empress Dowager Jing sees King Liang and the emperor's brother killing each other, can she not be sad? Since the Changqun Anling Bloody Case, the Queen Mother has cried day and night, hoping that King Liang will change himself, and King Liang will never wake up. If one day the Queen Mother Yan drives, who else can King Liang rely on? At that time, there will be no one in the court to intercede for you, and at that time, I am afraid that the head will fall to the ground. ”

Shi Yu said, bowed to the ground again and cried: "The lord humiliates the ministers to death, and the king of Liang has no unscrupulous ministers, so the great difficulty is here." Today, Liang Guang and Gongce can't subdue the law, the ministers have the emperor's order, they can't share the worries of King Liang, and they can't save the people of Li from fire and water, so what's the benefit of life? Please let the king of Liang give his ministers a death......"

Before Shi Yu's words were finished, he was intercepted by King Liang, and he asked eagerly: "Queen Mother!" What happened to the Queen Mother? ”

"The minister heard from Zhou Xiang that the Queen Mother was very surprised to learn that Wu Zheng and other ministers had been killed; I also heard that the prince led the army to Luoyang Prefecture City in Xiguan to arrest the suspect, for fear that King Liang would make a mistake, and he didn't think about tea and dinner for a few days, but just cried silently, and the person was much older. ”

When King Liang heard this, he let out a long "Queen Mother", and his face was pale and he fainted to the ground. Shi Yu hurriedly sent the imperial doctor of King Liang, and after treating him for a long time, King Liang woke up from a coma, but he cried bitterly; "The queen mother is a child who is not filial, and the queen mother is worried."

Seeing this, Shi Yu lost no time in handing over the hot tea, and when King Liang's mood stabilized a little, he persuaded again: "For the sake of the Queen Mother, King Liang can't have the slightest hesitation!" ”

"In this way, this king must hand over Liang Guang and Gongce?"

"When the interruption continues, you have to delay the big thing!"

"Good!" As soon as King Liang took a few shots, "This king will listen to Vice Duke Liang!" ”

"King Liang is wrong again! You are not a courtier, but a courtier. At this moment, Zhou Xiang is waiting for King Liang to be summoned in Luoyang Prefecture, Xiguan? ”

When King Liang heard this, he hurriedly invited Zhou Xiang to the palace to discuss matters. He looked at Zhou Xiang and Shi Yu and said, "You go and wait outside the palace, and let King Ben say a few words to them." After speaking, King Liang shouted outside, "Someone! Take the sprinkles! Hurry up and have a good week. ”

Now, Gong Ce and Liang Guang are standing in the palace hall.

Prince Liang poured the "Xiguan Luoyang Jade Liquid" that had been treasured for many years for the two of them, and said affectionately: "Please drink this wine, this king has something to say." When Liang Guang and Gong Ce were receiving the wine, they had already found the guards standing in the palace compound, and in an instant, they understood everything.

Gong Ce held the wine and cried: "Wang, I was born in Che Yu, and it is the king who appreciates the subordinates, and the villain deserves such a big social position." ”

King Liang stopped at the end of the matter, and the villain was speechless. King Liang drank this cup, and Liang Guang and I will still be the king's subordinates for the rest of our lives. ”

In fact, since they fled into the Liang Palace, they knew that this day would come sooner or later. At this moment, they remembered the oath of the night of the palace in Luoyang Prefecture, Xiguan, the conspiracy that they had repeatedly planned over the years, the colleagues who had left earlier than them, and the unbearable time when these sons were in prison despite the lavish hospitality of King Liang every day in the palace. They have also said to themselves many times in their hearts that it is better to die happily than to flee and hide like this, but they did not expect things to come so quickly. They don't have any regrets about their actions, they just fulfill their responsibilities, which is no different from Zhou Zhi and Li Wei. They were saddened that they had not fulfilled King Liang's wish.

Liang Guang and King Liang looked at each other for a moment, drank all the wine in the jue, and then continued to the next jue, raised his head, and saluted King Liang: "The minister is the king, and he will not regret his death." Today, I will bid farewell to the king, and the ministers will pray for the king under the nine springs, and the king will take care. After drinking, he bowed three times and bowed nine times to King Liang. Dye Guang and Gong Ce helped each other out of the palace.

"Aiqing!" Huo Yong watched Liang Guang and Gong Ce being escorted into the prison car, and he couldn't bear it, and was about to rush out of the palace, but was stopped by Shi Yu who came in from outside the door.

Looking at the snow curtain outside the door, King Liang's eyes were confused. Gradually, he felt cold all over his body, and his already troubled mind was made even more clueless by this strange feeling, he didn't know what he should do, but said to himself blankly: "It was this king himself who sent them to the point of no return, and it was this king who harmed them!" ”

Shi Yu comforted: "The king doesn't have to blame himself, Liang Guang and Gongce are to blame." Wang Shanggong is in Sheji, and the people of Luoyang Prefecture in Xiguan are benefited. It's just that according to the minister's opinion, the minister thinks that this matter is not over yet, and the king should consider the next step as soon as possible. ”

"Huh? According to Deputy Duke Liang, what will this king do next? ”

Shi Yu thought for a moment and said, "For today's plan, the king must do two important things. ”

"Which two? Vice Duke Liang, hurry up! ”

"First, the Empress Dowager Jing and the emperor were angry with King Liang because of the assassination of the court ministers, so King Liang should quickly go to Anling, Changjun to ask for the understanding of the emperor and the queen mother."

"If something like this happens, can the emperor still see the king?"

"There is one person who can help King Liang dredge!"

"Who, who dares to speak for this king now?"

"Li Tian, the Queen Mother!"

King Liang sighed and said, "Shi Yu's words are bad! Who doesn't know that this king has offended Queen Li Tian a lot for the sake of the prince, and now asks this king to beg her, wouldn't it be because of the wood to ask for fish? ”

"I heard that the queen's brother Li Wei is greedy for money and profit, why didn't King Liang give him a lot of money and let him say a few kind words in front of the queen?"

After hearing this, King Liang looked up to the sky and sighed: "Since the ancestors, my Huo family has been weakened by my relatives year after year, and now I want to ask the Li family's relatives to ......."

Shi Yu continued: "Second ...... is what to do now, that is, King Liang should quickly go outside the city to invite the prince into the city to talk about his uncle and nephew. ”

"This matter has Vice Duke Lao Liang. Just ......"

"King Liang has something to say, and the minister will do his best to serve the king."

"That's not what it means! This king just thinks...... Alas! So far, nothing has been said. Please Vice Duke Liang go out of the city with this king to greet the prince! ”
