Chapter 226: Liu Ce Sets Out
When the news came, the entire Chang'an City almost exploded.
When Liu Ce heard about it, he just sneered. "I knew this woman would do that. However, she has a really good grasp of this moment at the moment...... She's getting smarter. ”
Truly. Now that Changsha is in chaos, Chang'an has also been stirred up by Ji Changshi. Everyone was immersed in the heavy blow of the death of the crown prince, and the emperor and queen mother were even more heartbroken. Their mother and son seized this opportunity to kill King Wu and replace him, expecting that Chang'an was busy taking care of the prince's funeral, and would not put all his energy on dealing with them for a while.
In this way, they will have a lot of respite.
"And what are you going to do now?" Qi Kang asked him.
"What to do! I see what His Majesty the Emperor means. Liu Ce said disapprerovingly, "My father is already so sick that he can't open his mouth, they can still fabricate a copy of his edict, this woman is really ruthless." I just don't know, before my father died, he saw his most beloved woman personally kill him, what was his heart? ”
"It must be ecstatic." Qi Kang said.
Liu Ce smiled coldly. He betrayed his relatives for the sake of that woman, and he never repented until his crime was exposed in public. In the end, he died at the hands of that woman, and he deserved it. At least, now that his throne has passed to him and her son, he should be able to look down under the Nine Springs. ”
"But it's still a question whether this mother and son can hold the huge Wu Kingdom." Qi Kang said lightly.
Wu is located in a rich place, although the place is not big, but every inch of land is gold, is a famous land of fish and rice. In addition, reading has become a trend in the territory of Wu State, and there are countless literati, it is definitely a treasure land, how many people are staring at it!
Now that this mother and son have made such a fuss, someone must have begun to think crookedly.
Liu Ce still only smiled faintly: "Let's wait and see!" The imperial court will not let the mother and son continue. And the surname Liu...... They can only resist stubbornly on the territory of Wu now. It's going to be a good show. ”
But when he said this to Qi Kang, after waiting for the person, Liu Ce hugged Ji Shangxie tightly, his chest rose and fell violently, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
"You're still worried about what's going on over there." Ji Shang said evilly.
"Of course I'm worried. After all, it is the place where I grew up, and it is also the place where my aunt died. I still remember that A-Niang still wanted to assist her father and govern Wu well. As a result......" Liu Ce paused, and then said in a low voice, "Now, seeing that couple has gone against the grain, they have already thrown the territory of Wu into a mess. It's better now, the people of the Liu clan couldn't stay in Chang'an, so they all went to Wu to join them, and then this group of people joined forces to help Liu Xuan to be the king of Wu, which was actually supporting a puppet. Now everything in the country of Wu is in the hands of that group of people! You have seen those people in the Liu family, you should know what kind of virtue they are. With them, the people of Wu don't know how much hardship they have to endure! After all, that's where my aunt once wanted to be treated well......"
Ji Shangye listened, and gently patted him on the back a few times. "Don't overthink it just yet. Let's see how His Majesty behaves first. If it is really necessary at that time, you will go with the imperial court to fight this place for your aunt! ”
Liu Ce raised his head suddenly. "Will you let me go?"
"Auntie's wish, that's your wish, and it's also mine. As long as I can make my aunt feel at ease under Jiuquan, and also give you peace of mind, of course I am willing. Ji Shang smiled evilly, "However, no matter what, you must pay attention to safety, no matter what happens, choose to protect yourself as soon as possible." I'm still waiting for you to come back and grow old with me! ”
The soft and beautiful voice drilled into his ears, making Liu Ce's heart soft.
He nodded hurriedly, and hugged Ji Shangxie even tighter. "I know. No matter how important A-Niang is to me, she has gone after all. The most important thing by my side now is you, and even if I had to choose, I would definitely give priority to protecting you. ”
With his words, that's enough. Ji Shangxie smiled again and hugged him gently.
The rest turned out as they expected.
After the emperor learned that the Liu family and his party had done a good job, he was furious and sent people to Wu to announce that the princess of Wu, Liu, and her son Liu Xuan would return to Chang'an to face the saint together. But Liu refused to return to Chang'an on the pretext that although her son was young and her health was not good.
The people who went to Wu wanted to mourn King Wu, but found that King Wu had already been hastily buried. And it was cremated directly after death and buried with ashes!
The weakness of the hearts of the Liu family and others can be seen.
In the end, seeing that the envoy was still investigating the real cause of King Wu's death, Liu's brother actually killed the envoy directly! Then he pretended to ask someone to send the body of the messenger back, pretending that the person had gone to Wu to refuse to adapt to the water and soil, and died violently.
The emperor was even more angry, and made several decrees in a row, insisting that Princess Wu and Liu Xuan come to Chang'an to face the saint. He even sent a team of imperial physicians over, but this time, as soon as the men and horses arrived at the border of Wu, they were ambushed by the army, and more than half of the imperial physicians were killed and wounded, and the rest fled back to Chang'an in a hurry.
"Are they going against the court? Well, I'll do what they want! ”
Seeing the imperial doctors who came to him crying and complaining with blue noses and swollen faces, the emperor was so angry that the green tendons on his forehead exploded. "Someone, summon Taiwei Chen into the palace!"
Seeing this, Liu Ce immediately stood up. "Your Majesty, nephew, please fight!"
The Emperor narrowed his eyes. "Ah Kun, you must know that the Liu clan is crazy now. I'm going to hunt them all down, kill them all!" ”
"I know, that's why I want to fight. The country of Wu is where I was born and raised, and the people there are also my people. In their eyes, I am their heaven, and I have rescued them from fire and water several times. This time, they suffered an even greater disaster, and I naturally had to step up to live up to their expectations of me. Liu Ce said loudly.
"You've really decided?" The Emperor asked.
"It's decided!" Liu Ce determined.
"Well, as you wish." The Emperor said.
Within a few days, Liu Ce commanded an army of 60,000 imperial courts and went in the direction of Wu State.
Before leaving Chang'an, he solemnly sent Ji Shangye back to the Hou Mansion: "You live here, except for your uncle and uncle, you don't want to believe anyone." Stay here until I get back. ”
"Well, I'll wait for you." Ji Shangxie nodded slightly.
The two of them parted for a long time, and Liu Ce finally relented, turned around and left without looking back.
And since he left, Ji Shangxie felt empty in his heart, as if a large piece of his heart had been dug up, and he didn't know how he survived day after day every day.
The old lady Yongjian Hou saw her reaction in her eyes, and could only hug her and sigh: "This Liu family is really a scourge!" When she went to Wu to recuperate under the pretext of recuperation, I told Ah Kun and his mother that it was best not to stay with this woman, and to hurry up as far as she could. But Ah Carp and his mother said that the prince likes it, what can she do? As a result, that woman occupied the magpie's nest and died in Wu all the time. Until now, she has done such a thing! You wait and see, Ah Crucian will definitely be able to beat them to the point of crying father and mother, and then tie up their family back to Chang'an, and completely destroy everyone surnamed Liu! ”
Her arrogant words made Ji Shangye can't help but laugh. "Auntie, you can't help but be too relieved of him."
"Of course. I watched that kid grow up, and I know better than anyone else what he can do! The old lady said loudly, and then patted her hand, "You can wait here!" Actually, I think it's just right now, the guy surnamed Liu couldn't bear to start messing around, so he seized the opportunity to clean up the portal and destroy them all. In this way, when I turn back to Wu Guo, I can be clear and quiet, and I can rest assured that you will pass. Otherwise, just a few mothers and sons are enough for you to have a headache, and I don't have to worry about letting you live in that environment! ”
Moreover, King Wu is also dead now, and he died at the hands of Princess Wu's mother and son, King Wu's assertion that Liu Ce wanted to kill his father finally fell on his most precious son, and Liu Ce completely cleared the suspicion. Now, as long as we get rid of those people who do evil, the territory of Wu will be clean, and they will indeed be spared a lot of troubles.
If you think about it that way, that's true.
Ji Shangevil hooked the corners of his lips again.
It was easy to see her smile, and the old lady Yongjian Hou breathed a sigh of relief, so she took her hand and said, "Tomorrow, let's go to Princess Huyang's mansion as a guest!" I want to hurry up and settle down the eldest girl of the Fu family to Ah Yan. When Ah Kun's victorious class teacher returns to the court, Ah Yu can also get married, then it is called double happiness! ”
"Okay!" Ji Shangye nodded hurriedly.
