Chapter 13: Mind

Chen Liehu didn't know why his little daughter's tears kept flowing, and his heart broke when he looked at his daughter leaning over and crying.

If all this is true, what a great pain in the heart of the fifteen-year-old daughter, alas, he has now basically believed that it is true.

Chen Liehu pulled Chen Danzhu up and invited a doctor to show her the problem of poisoning, and the next day Li Liang's body was also received, Changlin was escorted back, and confessed after several tortures with Changshan.

Li Liang was indeed persuaded by the lobbyists of the imperial court, and let Chen Danyan steal the talisman just to invade the Wu capital by his own inadvertence.

They finally cried, "Boss, our son can't help it, that's the emperor's holy decree, saying that King Wu sent assassins to assassinate the emperor, King Zhou and King Qi have already identified it, it was King Wu who did it, this is a rebellion, we can only obey orders." ”

Chen Liehu slapped the corner of the table when he heard it: "The emperor's holy decree is not credible at all!" ”

This emperor disobeyed Emperor Gaozu, listened to Zhou Qing's gossip, and intended to regain the fiefdom of the princes and kings, and used various means, first to provoke between the princes and kings, and then between the princes, fathers, sons and brothers, killing people and punishing their hearts.

Back then, when dealing with Yan and Lu, the emperor cried and gave a holy decree, saying that Yan Lu had rebelled and sent assassins to kill himβ€”and now he was treating Wu like this.

Chen Danzhu was silent on the side, Changshan Changlin didn't tell the truth, Li Liang was not just persuaded by the imperial court, and they didn't reveal Li Liang's wife as the county lord at all.

She didn't make it clear, Li Liang was dead, Changshan Changlin couldn't beat out of his palm, and the most important thing now was to solve the life-and-death matter.

"Maybe my brother-in-law saw that the imperial court was strong and unstoppable, so he lost his confidence and fighting spirit." She said softly, "I went out all the way and found that there are many displaced people outside, and the national capital is simply two worlds, and our military camp is chaotic and centrific, and there is no end to infighting, compared with the imperial army on the other sideβ€”β€”"

Chen Liehu slapped the table again and shouted, "Shut up!" ”

Chen Danzhu hung his head and stopped talking.

"Don't say that what you said is not to make others want to destroy their own prestige, even if what you say is the truth." Chen Liehu's face was gloomy and resolute, "Our soldiers in Wu will never be afraid of not fighting, there is only one person left, and they will not flee if they die in battle, the emperor is unjust, slandering King Wu for disobedience, he is the disobedient ancestor, the unjust war, what is my Wu country afraid of!" ”

Of course, he knew why Li Liang was persuaded, it was not an emperor's edict, it was the power of the Son of Heaven who was tempting, and it was always better to follow the Son of Heaven than to follow the princes and kings.

Not to mention Li Liang, there are many officials in the country who have moved their minds, so the court is in chaos, and the king has not ordered to attack the imperial army so far, and the fighters are missing again and again-

He frowned and looked at Chen Danzhu.

"Ah Zhu, you are my daughter of Chen Liehu, how can you say such a thing?"

Chen Danzhu said in a low voice: "My daughter is not afraid, she just saw the facts with her own eyes and felt that the king was too arrogant and underestimated the enemy. ”

Chen Liehu was silent for a moment.

"The imperial court sent troops suddenly, and the king just didn't react for a while." He said, patting the broken table, "Now that all kinds of military newspapers have gathered, the king knows the current situation, the national capital has implemented a curfew, and the royal court is also discussing the resettlement of the victims." ”

He glanced at Chen Danzhu.

"You don't have to worry, our side has a bad start, but as long as you work together, even if the imperial court is powerful, you can't trample on my Wu country at will."

Speaking of war, other people will say don't worry, because there is a Yangtze River natural danger, there is nothing to be afraid of, but his father did not say so, obviously he knew very well in his heart that the natural danger could not stop the soldiers and horses at all, Chen Danzhu's heart was sore and painful, even so, his father never thought of blaming King Wu for not listening to his advice, he would only think that he was derelict in his duties.

Even if he was unjustly killed by King Wu, he was willing, and even if he was exterminated by King Wu, he only thought it was his fault.

That's obviously King Wu's own fault, it's King Wu who doesn't listen to or believe his father, it's King Wu who is afraid of war, and those courtiers just want to take the opportunity to drive their father out of the royal court-

Li Liang bullied them, King Wu bullied them, Chen was a sinner in the Wu country, and a sinner in the court, there was no way to go to heaven and no door to the earth, he was a sinner when he was alive, and he was a sinner when he died.

Chen Danzhu looked at his father's white hair, wanted to lie on the bed and didn't know how to face the bad news, his brother who had died, and then thought about his relatives who would be destroyed by King Wu in the future - she hated it so much, so unwilling!

"Sir, sir." The butler hurriedly ran in, "The king has come to proclaim the order!" There are a lot of guards, let the master hand over the talismans! I want to put my lord in prison! ”

Chen Danzhu was surprised: "What's the matter?" "Could it be that this is also ahead of schedule? She didn't go back to the capital with a large army.

Chen Liehu stood up, dragged his stump and limped out: "I'll take a look." ”

Chen Danzhu hurriedly followed, and did not support, Chen Liehu would rather be ridiculed and crippled than be supported by others.

Outside the gate was already surrounded by guards, and another eunuch had a cold face with an edict in his hand, and when he saw Chen Liehu limping away, he immediately shouted screaming: "Chen Liehu, you are guilty!" ”

Chen Liehu walked over and knelt down slowly: "The old minister doesn't know. ”

The eunuch sneered: "Lord Taifu, this is a national crisis at this time, the king trusts you and hands over the heavy defense of the national capital to you, what about you, you actually let Xiao'er take the talisman to the military camp to mess around!" If it weren't for the urgent report in the army, would you still hide it from the king! You have a king in your eyes! ”

Chen Danzhu gritted his teeth in the back, he was accused so soon, and I don't know how many people in the army are staring at the Chen family who wants his father to lose his official position and go to work.

Chen Liehu said: "There is an inside story in this matter, please forgive your father-in-lawβ€”β€”"

The eunuch interrupted him: "Or frame Zhang Jianjun to kill your son, right?" So let your daughter take the talisman to the barracks and make a fuss, Master Taifu, Zhang Jianjun has been driven back by you, and now that Li Liang is dead, who are you going to frame? You don't have to be polite, Lord Wen has already sent an inspector to the military camp to investigate, so Master Taifu should go to the prison with peace of mind and wait for the results. ”

The word framing made Chen Liehu's kneeling figure tremble slightly, he raised his head, his eyes were red and looked at the eunuch: "My son and son-in-law Chen Liehu have all died in the barracks, in the mouth of the king, is there only two words of framing?" ”

The crippled man kneeling on the ground was old, and his momentum was still like a tiger, and the eunuch was startled and took a step back, but fortunately the guards behind him made him calm down.

He shouted in a trembling voice: "Chen Liehu, are you blaming the king!" ”

Chen Liehu shook his head: "The old minister doesn't dare, the old minister wants to see the king." ”

He said that he wanted to get up, but his legs were inconvenient, and he looked a little embarrassed, and a trace of disgust flashed in the eunuch's eyes - this old immortal was going to disturb the king's good mood again.

Because of his alarmist words, the king couldn't calm his nerves, and he didn't want to watch singing and dancing in Wangxian Tower.

He said sharply: "This matter has been handed over to the Wenshe people, and the king is gone-"

Chen Danzhu rushed out from behind, helped Chen Liehu up, and also interrupted the eunuch with a scream: "Wenshe people are just a housekeeper, my father is a princess, and he can meet the important ministers of the Son of Heaven on behalf of the king, and if you want to deal with it, you can only have the king to deal with it, let the Wenshe people deal with it, whose Wu country is this Wu country!" ”

The eunuch was taken aback, and then he was annoyed: "Bold, in front of the king's order, you kid-"

Chen Liehu stood up straight and held Chen Danzhu down, and said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, I have a secret report on important military affairs, please pass it on to my father-in-law, and when I see the king, explain the matter clearly, I will accept the guilt." ”

Without waiting for the eunuch to object, he picked up the long knife that was placed aside and shook the ground.

"Before meeting the king, the ministers cannot obey orders!"

With his long knife, guards poured around the Chen family, surrounding the eunuchs and guards.

The eunuch's face turned pale, and he shrank in the guards and shouted in a trembling voice: "Chen Liehu, do you want to rebel?" ”

Chen Liehu doesn't care about this accusation, anyone in Wu Di can rebel, he Chen Liehu will definitely not, this is to shout in front of King Wu, and King Wu will not care.

He leaned over and saluted: "Please pass the word to my father-in-law, Chen Liehu is waiting outside the palace gate to be summoned." ”

He said that he would take a step, and as he took a step, the guards of the Chen family also stepped together, these guards were all retired from the army, and they were also Chen Liehu's private soldiers, and the guards were not their opponents, the eunuch hated and feared, the key was that Chen Liehu was indeed in a transcendent position, if he killed himself, he would die in vain-

"You, you're bold." The eunuch shouted, throwing down a sentence, "You wait." ”

Turning around and running out in a hurry, the guards saw that he had run away, so they hurriedly followed.

Chen Liehu did not stop, walked out slowly, and instructed the housekeeper to prepare the horse.

The housekeeper had already led the horse, and Chen Danzhu also called her to prepare the horse, "I'll go with my father." ”

Chen Liehu frowned: "You don't want to go." ”

Chen Danzhu said: "Father, it was me who went to the barracks with the talisman, I should make it clear." ”

Chen Liehu shook his head: "No, I'll just tell the king about this matter." ”

Chen Danzhu pulled him and refused to let go: "Father, I didn't go to confess my guilt, I went to the barracks in person, and my brother-in-law's affairs were also done by me, I know everything best, let me tell the king better." ”

Chen Liehu hesitated, okay, nodded to the housekeeper, the housekeeper was busy letting people lead the horse for Chen Danzhu, and the father and daughter walked out of the house, and there were many people pointing in front of the door.

The previous eunuch guards came to hula and attracted a lot of onlookers, and when they saw the eunuchs of the guards running away in a panic, the guards who poured out of the Chen family were violent, and everyone was startled, and they didn't know what was going on.

"Nothing, nothing." The housekeeper led people to disperse the people, "The king summoned the prince into the palace." ”

Chen Liehu sat on the horse with the assistance of the guards, and Chen Danzhu waited for his father to sit firmly before getting on the horse, looking in the direction of Miyagi and clenching the reins.

Why was their family loyal and righteous killed by King Wu, but some people slandered King Wu but lived vigorously.

When Li Liang came in with soldiers and horses, he was the first to run, and coaxed the reinforcements from outside the national capital, saying that the imperial court came in, and the king was ambushed, everyone surrendered, obviously the king was not dead at that time-

Wu Di died, King Wu died, he did not have the slightest shame, let alone repay King Wu with death, and turned into a civil servant and hero of Great Xia, and he was a high-ranking official and at ease.

She is not afraid of death, but it is not worth dying because of such a king and such a minister.

She killed Li Liang and robbed him of his defection to the imperial court, and simply robbed the Wu ministers of slander and rumored about King Wu.
