Chapter 24: Unstoppable

The news of the emperor's landing also flew to the national capital, and King Wu was sitting in the palace with a haggard expression when he learned about it.

For the first time in his life, he stayed in the main hall for so long, and he hadn't had a feast for several days, and he didn't go to the harem beauties, not that he was sad and the situation was critical-the situation was not critical, the court was turbulent, but he had agreed to make peace with the court, what reason did the court have to beat him?

He was trapped in the palace by Mrs. Chen.

"The imperial court has accepted the hearts of the princes, since fifty years ago, it has been clear that ten years after the rebellion of the Five Kingdoms, the emperor has been recuperating for twenty years, and now he is ambitious and ambitious, and the king cannot conspire with it, let alone attack other princes and kings, otherwise the lips will die and the teeth will be cold, the land of Wu will be lost, and the king will be difficult to survive."

Seeing Chen Danzhu taking the royal order to meet the emperor, Chen Liehu fell to the ground, but he only lay down for a day, then got up and came to the palace, knelt down and asked King Wu to take back his order, King Wu didn't listen, he knelt in front of the palace hall and didn't leave.

King Wu sent people to drive him away several times, Chen Liehu ran back again, relying on the identity of the Taifu, rampage, and King Wu hid in the deep palace and was also found by him.

The other ministers were also in poor spirits, and this sudden incident made them feel so disturbed that they simply stayed in the main hall, some agreed with Mrs. Chen, some were silent, and more scolded Mrs. Chen.

"Chen Liehu, you are too shameless." Wen Zhong scolded angrily, "What kind of loyal minister are you pretending to be now?" Didn't you do all this? Are you father and daughter playing tricks on the king? ”

Now Wu Chen is puzzled and sneered at Chen Liehu.

I don't understand why he looked unaware, and sneered at his previous behavior, especially about Li Liang's death, there were new rumors in the country - Li Liang did not turn his back on the king, but because he did not turn his back, he was killed by Taifu Chen.

Chen Taifu, a self-proclaimed loyal minister who defended the land of Wu, had already taken refuge in the imperial court.

This rumor once again shattered Chen Liehu's heart, but he couldn't fall now.

Chen Liehu straightened his back: "I have already said it, I don't know what my daughter Chen Danzhu did!" ”

His expression was sad and angry, recalling the scene when Chen Danzhu took out the royal decree to him and said that he was going to welcome the emperor - alas.

"My daughter Chen Danzhu saw through Li Liang's plan to betray her, and although she successfully killed Li Liang, she was still controlled by the court spies, and she was threatened by them, orβ€”" Although Chen Liehu was heartbroken, he did not excuse his daughter and speculated the truth, "I was persuaded by them, she took refuge in the court, brought the court spies into the national capital, and forced the kingβ€”β€”"

He finally knew what Chen Danzhu was doing when he saw King Wu alone that day, it was to introduce the court spies, and the housekeeper also said what Chen Danzhu did when he was not in the mansion - kicked and opened the treasury of Li Liang's personal soldiers, and saw that there was one person missing, although these so-called Li Liang personal soldiers were dressed as Wu soldiers, but if you look closely, you will find that the momentum and demeanor are not Wu people at all!

There is no need to torture, they are very happy to admit that they are soldiers of the imperial court.

Chen Liehu dragged these people to the palace to be killed, but was stopped by King Wu on the grounds that he would not behead.

"They're not here, they're spies!" Chen Liehu begged King Wu with grief and indignation, "Even if you are an envoy, without your permission from the king, you will be a thief if you sneak into my Wu land, and you should be killed." ”

King Wu was annoyed: "Chen Liehu, if you dare to kill these people and lead the court to war with the Wu State, you are the sinner of the Wu State!" This king will not spare you! ”

He is a sinner of the state of Wu - Chen Liehu was scolded by the king of Wu and spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted and was carried home, but after waking up, Chen Liehu came to the palace again, he must stop the king of Wu from destroying his future, otherwise, he will really become a sinner of the state of Wu.

"Great Kingβ€”" Chen Liehu ignored the noise of the courtiers and only asked King Wu.

"King!" The eunuch outside the door rushed in happily and raised the letter high, "The emperor has entered the land of Wu!" ”

The hall was suddenly quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on the eunuch, with a frightened, frightened and obscure expression.

King Wu's voice trembled slightly: "He-"

The eunuch knew what the king was going to ask, and immediately answered: "Your Majesty has only brought three hundred guards with you, and has come to see the kingβ€”" Then he knelt down and shouted, "The king is mighty! ”

Only brought 300 guards, the emperor really did not bring soldiers and horses into Wu, the courtiers were stunned, Zhang Jianjun was the first to react, and bowed head-on and shouted, "The king is mighty!" The emperor is coming to see him with the etiquette of a brother! ”

For a while, the courtiers scrambled to kneel and chant might, and King Wu laughed heartily on the throne, and his eyes fell on the only person standing in the hall, and the laughter paused.

Chen Liehu, who was kneeling before, stood up at this time, looking stunned and depressed: "Where is this majesty of the king, this is the majesty of the emperor, this is contempt for the king, and regards my Wu land as a bag." ”

He muttered and then became angry, and stepped forward and shouted to the king.

"Please let me lead the troops and repel the Emperorβ€”"

King Wu was taken aback: "Mrs. Chen, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Someone next to him sneered: "Mrs. Chen, your daughter is walking with the emperor, how can you kill it?" ”

Chen Liehu's expression was cold: "If my daughter can listen to my orders and stop the emperor, she will still be my daughter, if she insists on going her own way, then she is not my Chen Liehu's daughter, she is a thief who turned her back on the Wu State, and I will cut off her head with my own hands." ”

"Mrs. Chen!" Zhang Jianjun shouted, "Don't say this kind of crazy talk again!" The emperor did not bring soldiers and horses as promised, and sincerely negotiated peace with the king, what do you look like when you shout and shout and kill? You're trying to mess with me! ”

The others also stood up and shouted angrily, "What a system!" "There's a little bit of faith there!" "It's a shame on my Wu country!" "Are you letting the king bear the name of rebellion?"

Chen Liehu looked at the palace, it seemed that after hearing that the emperor had entered Wu, the attitude of the courtiers had changed again, except for a few who did not speak, everyone else became elated, even Wen Zhong no longer reprimanded King Wu for peace talks with the emperor, everyone was happy because they could talk peace, excited for the arrival of the emperor, and couldn't wait-

Because he knew that the general trend had gone, he didn't dare to say anything more against it, for fear of angering the emperor and affecting his future future.

The king is still standing in front of everyone! Chen Liehu raised his head and exclaimed: "King, when the old minister goes to question the emperor, why did the king assassin assassinate the emperor, why slandered the king for rebellion, but you still remember the Gaozu Hadith." ”

Then turn around and leave.

Some ministers on both sides reacted quickly, stepped forward to stop Chen Liehu, "Taifu, you can't go!" Others shouted "Great King! ”

King Wu reacted without being reminded by everyone, how could he let Taifu Chen question the emperor, that had to be fought, the emperor only brought three hundred soldiers into Wu, that means that there will be no war, it is too peaceful, what else does he have to worry about? This old thing can be locked up.

King Wu stood up and raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Taifu Chen, hand over the military power!" "Call someone again," escort Taifu back to the house! ”

Chen Liehu was furious: "King-don't listen to slander!" No peace talks with the Emperor! Don't conspire with the emperor! Don'tβ€”"

Chen Liehu was old and struggling, three or five guards were not his opponents, the ministers stood in front of King Wu and exclaimed, more guards poured in, holding Chen Liehu down and dragging him out-

Chen Liehu was finally dragged out, and the shrewd eunuch ordered someone to gag his mouth, and the shouting and scolding disappeared, and only the hat and shoes that fell in the struggle remained in the hall-

The courtiers breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the hall became harmonious again.

"The king, I will go to the emperor first for the king." Zhang Jianjun rushed out and shouted.

The other courtiers scrambled to ask for their lives, and King Wu laughed: "Go and let the emperor see the momentum of my Wu country!" ”
