Chapter 400: Negotiation
In the palace of King Liang.
Liang Wang Guangzhen and Changxin Hou Su Yue were in the face of Su Qin's reply.
King Liang also received the holy decree a few days ago.
According to the holy decree, the Liang State will retain all the honors of the Liang King, the Xian German Duke, the Marquis of Changxin and others, and the fiefdom of Jinling City will remain unchanged. However, the other states and counties of Liang must be governed by the imperial court, of course, the original state and county officials of Liang can also be immovable, but these officials will have to report to the imperial court in the future, and will no longer report to the king of Liang. Liang had few soldiers, and after leaving the troops for self-defense, the rest of the troops were also uniformly deployed by the imperial court. The deadline for the handover of states, counties and troops is also one year.
Sima Yu was killed, and Xia Chengyou and the former King of Lu joined forces to take control of the palace and the entire Yingtian in one day. When he received the news, Guangzhen didn't believe it. It wasn't until the holy decree stamped with the jade seal of the country arrived that Guangzhen reacted that all this was true.
Guang Zhen immediately passed the holy decree and his thoughts to the virtuous and German duke.
The virtuous man replied the next day.
After receiving a reply from Duke Xiande, Guangzhen invited Su Yue over.
The letter said that the soldiers would not move first, and then observe and observe.
Only the south gate of Yingtian City was opened. In order to welcome the Empress Dowager Xia into the palace. After Empress Dowager Xia Jincheng, the city gate was closed again.
The reinforcements of the State of Qi, the State of Liang, the State of Wu, and the State of Lu and Chu, who rushed over and did not fight, did not move.
The imperial court also did not give clear instructions for the withdrawal of troops.
After reading the letter from Duke Xian, Su Yue said hatefully: "All this is really too weird. King Lu didn't die, and he made a prince. Do you believe it? ”
"Back then, among the nine generals, Lu Ziying was just a middle-rated. He is much weaker than Qi Lin, and I and the old King of Chu. Unexpectedly, he has now become the first minister. Ying Tian's troops are at least six or seven hundred thousand. He took it all at once. Presumably, over the years, he didn't know where to hide and practice evil skills. ”
"Guangzhen!" Su Yue frowned and said, "Didn't you find out what happened that night?" In addition to the people in the palace, there are also newly recruited people, doesn't it mean that there is a young man with An Xian? Do you think that person will be Xia Chengyou? If that's ......"
"If so, they might be here to kill us!" A group of Su Yuan frowned and said, "Now that I think about it, that Li Shilang died strangely." Maybe they did it. They covet the wealth of our Liang Kingdom. ”
"Yuan'er, it's not unreasonable for you to say that."
"It's too late to say anything!" Su Yuan sighed, "We were all tricked by Empress Dowager Xia." This queen mother is really tall. On the bright side, throw out a princess to envelop the countries, and it is yours to marry the princess throne. But secretly, he did his best to train his grandson to inherit the throne. It's horrible. ”
"It's scary Xia Chengyou!" Guang Zhen's eyes narrowed, "He can sneak into thousands of troops and kill Da Sima, this skill is comparable to An Xian." When such a person became the emperor, who would dare to refute his wishes? The courtiers who were killed by him never dreamed that they would be killed by the emperor himself. ”
"Isn't that ridiculous!" Su Yue felt more and more angry, "What about the emperor!" Can he, a murderous child, afford it? ”
Guang Zhen was about to answer, when he saw Fuwen knocking on the door and said, "Lord, King Lu asks to see." ”
"Who?" Guangzhen thought he had misheard.
"King Lu, Lu Hanxiong!" Fowen stood outside the door and said loudly, "He traveled in disguise and brought only two guards. said that he came from the Qi country, and he had something important to talk to the prince. ”
Guangzhen looked at Su Yue and then at Su Yuan: "I'll go and see." ”
"Bring more people!" Su Yuan hurriedly said, "It's weird that he's coming here at this time." He probably knows most of Lu Ziying's affairs, and if he looks at it this way, their Lu family is the biggest winner. He probably came to find out the truth. ”
"I'll invite him to the Lebin Palace, and you will observe it secretly." Guang Zhen said to the outside, "Take him to the Lebin Palace." Except for the guards, idle people are not allowed to approach. ”
When Guang Zhen came, King Lu was pacing back and forth, looking restless.
"Why did the prince and nephew come like this?" Guang Zhen slowly walked into the hall.
"Uncle Wang!" Lu Wang rushed to Guangzhen in two steps, "Uncle Wang, my nephew is bitter!" Bitter! ”
King Lu said and beat his chest with both hands: "You and my father are old acquaintances, you should know my father." ”
King Lu is five big and three coarse, but in front of Guangzhen, he looks like a child has been wronged and asks him for protection.
Guang Zhen was stunned for a moment and then replied: "Naturally, I recognize it." ”
King Lu grabbed Guangzhen's sleeve and begged with his eyes: "Then Uncle Wang is willing to go to Yingtian with his nephew?" ”
"Go to Yingtian?" Guang Zhen was stunned again.
"Hmm!" Lu Ziying nodded again and again, "Go find my father, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to see him if I go alone." I went to find Qi Huan and Jin Ling the day before yesterday, and they didn't want to go because Qi Huan was injured......"
Guangzhen frowned: "Anyway, you are also the head of a country, why can't you see your father?" ”
"I'm settling accounts with him!" King Lu gritted his teeth and said, "I'm so bitter for him!" I've been burning paper money for him for years. He suddenly appeared again, Uncle Wang, can I not be afraid......"
"You ......" Guang Zhen frowned, "You really don't know that your father faked his death?" ”
King Lu's death, Guang Zhen has always felt strange. At that time, he also went to the funeral. It's just that the coffin has been sealed, and no one has seen it.
"I don't know!" King Lu was in a hurry and cried, "I'm his own son!" He even lied to me! Now it's okay, he's a general of soldiers and horses, and I, this King Lu is famous! The country of Lu is dead......"
Guang Zhen kept staring at King Lu and didn't answer.
"Uncle Wang!" King Lu wiped his tears, "Qi Huan, he is different from us, he and the eldest princess are fine, the top doesn't dare to touch him, no one can say what kind of situation we will face in the future......"
"Isn't there your father?" Guang Zhen said coldly, "You also said that you are his own son......"
"Uncle Wang!" King Lu glared, "I don't think he's definitely my father." Otherwise, he wouldn't have cheated me like this. If he is, then he must be controlled! ”
Guangzhen didn't answer.
King Lu said again: "Uncle Wang, now among the nine kingdoms, the Liang country is the strongest. Uncle Wang has been working hard for more than ten years, does he really want to give up his land and people? They only gave a decree. The troops of our five countries have not yet retreated, so why don't we negotiate with the imperial court......"
Guang Zhen still didn't answer, only squinted at King Lu.
"Uncle Wang!" King Lu hurriedly said, "We are all meritorious in killing Sima Yu, let's not ask for anything else, just keep it as it is." He is his emperor, and we are our kings. Isn't that bad? ”
Guang Zhen's eyes narrowed: "Is this what you mean or what Qi Huan and Jin Ling mean?" ”
King Lu hurriedly said: "What the three of us mean, if Uncle Wang also joins, and then Lu Xuan joins again, other old Lu dare not guarantee that it should not be difficult to maintain the status quo." ”
"What can you guarantee?" Guang Zhen sneered, "You said that your father may not recognize you, and I can't do this." As for Lu Xuan, he is at the gate of Yingtian City, you can go and talk to him. ”
"Uncle Wang?" King Lu looked disappointed, "You don't trust your little nephew so much?" If you don't believe it, you can write to ask Qi Huan. By the way, for this matter, Mrs. Liu is already angry. It's okay if Uncle Wang doesn't accompany his nephew, but he must take care of his health. Don't be angry. ”
"You ......," Guangzhen said in a long voice, "If you see your father, greet this king." I haven't seen each other in more than ten years. Now there are only two of us left in the nine generals back then...... Thinking about this, this king is very panicked......"
King Lu was stunned for a moment and sighed: "So Qi Huan said let me come to you." You and my father can talk, and you have a love for your robes. ”
"Oh......" Guang Zhen sighed again, "then don't mention it." Your father is not what he used to be, and this king will not dare to climb high. It would be better for the virtuous nephew to go over and see him earlier. After all, you are father and son, and you have broken bones and tendons. ”
"Uncle Wang, look at you!" King Lu hurriedly said, "If you say that, my nephew is really embarrassed." You act like your nephew never came. Nephew bothered! King Lu said that he was about to leave.
"Wait!" Guangzhen hurriedly said, "If you are a virtuous nephew, if you go to Yingtian and see Lord An, thank you for this king." ”
"This thank you is only sincere when Uncle Wang says it himself, but if my nephew can see Lord An, he will convey it."
Guang Zhen smiled faintly:
"Thank you!"
