Xiao Wen left the Jiaozhi Hall with a heavy heart, thinking about the meaning of Emperor Zhaowen. When he just talked about the old affairs of the Xiao family, his words flickered, and he stopped talking, obviously having unfinished words.

"General." The pro-soldier Fang Da was waiting at the gate of the palace, and when he saw him coming out, he shouted.

Xiao Wen turned to look at him, his expression solemn, and he lowered his voice and commanded a few times.

"Bang-"

Three days later, a loud bang suddenly broke the silence of the night.

Xiao Wen shot the case, and his eyes were full of slaughter.

"How dare he—" He gritted his teeth, and the words burst through the cracks.

Liu Tingzhi turned out to be Liu Tingzhi!

In order to protect the rights and interests of the old nobles, Liu Tingzhi secretly collaborated with the enemy country and leaked his father's marching formation, which caused the later disaster.

His father was killed in battle, and his grandfather was also killed in battle.

He still remembers that when he was young, his father taught him in his ear, "Men are determined to be loyal to the country and make meritorious contributions." ”

Unexpectedly, my grandfather and father were killed.

Xiao asked why he hated himself for finding out the truth now, if he had known earlier, even if he fought for his life, he would not let Liu Tingzhi go on rampant again.

His hands clenched and his eyes reddened.

After the next morning, Xiao Wen went to see Emperor Zhaowen again, and came out about half an hour later.

After March, the newly laid Nanyun old land has been established, and the officials in various places have been decided, and now they are just waiting to take office.

These appointed officials were chosen by Prime Minister Liu Tingzhi, and they were naturally his own people. Emperor Zhaowen not only had no objection to this, but was very grateful to Liu Xiang for sharing his worries for the monarch.

For a time, the limelight of Liuting was more prosperous, and the ministers flocked to it.

On August 15, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Zhaowen led his ministers to sacrifice to the sky. When he ascended to the Taimiao Temple to offer sacrifices, he actually said to Liu Ting, who was standing behind him: "Liu Xiang has worked hard all these years to assist Gu in governing the world, and he has made great contributions, so it is better to go to the gift with Gu." ”

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers below talked about it.

Liu Tingzhi also replied: "Your Majesty is inappropriate, this is against the ancestral system." ”

Emperor Zhaowen seemed to be unhappy: "Lone only knows that Liu Xiang is fulfilling his duties, assisting Lone to govern the world in an orderly manner, and now he has doubled the country, such a feat, shouldn't he be on the table?" ”

The ministers below are still talking about it, and the one who doubled the land is General Xiao, when did Liu Xiang go to the battlefield?

However, Liu Xiang has been in the limelight recently, and he has always been favored by the monarch, so no one dares to say anything.

Just, what about General Xiao? The ministers looked around and did not see Xiao Wen's figure.

On such an important occasion as a sacrifice, General Xiao didn't dare to come? It's really proud.

"Lonely, if Liu Xiang doesn't accompany Lone to the sacrificial ceremony, then Lone won't go!" Emperor Zhaowen, who had long passed the year of the weak crown, actually played a role on such a solemn and solemn occasion.

The ministers looked at each other, how is this good?

In desperation, Liu Tingzhi could only go with him.

Emperor Zhaowen was satisfied, climbed the nine-story white jade steps, entered the Taimiao, offered sacrifices, and announced Liu Tingzhi's exploits to heaven and earth.

Liu Tingzhi stood behind him, staring intently at the young monarch in front of him, with a smile on his face.

Over the years, he has been successful. first helped him ascend to the throne, and then firmly controlled him. He deliberately raised him, but he was still grateful and trusted him.

Now, he holds monstrous power in his hands, he can do what the emperor can do, and he can do what the emperor can't.

Thinking of this, Liu Tingzhi's face was filled with a smile that spread leisurely.

However, at this moment, only a "knock" was heard, and the gate of the Taimiao Temple was suddenly closed.

The situation was different, and Liu Tingzhi suddenly became vigilant.

Emperor Zhaowen turned to face him, the cowardice on his face was completely gone, and some were only clear and firm.

Seeing him like this, what else did Liu Tingzhi not understand?

"You want to kill me?" He asked in a gloomy voice.

A gloomy smile bloomed on Emperor Zhaowen's white face: "This ending, Liu Xiangke is still satisfied?" ”

"Just you?" Liu Tingzhi laughed, "You are very capable, you have been pretending to be waste for all these years, and now you can't hold it anymore?" ”

Emperor Zhaowen didn't reply, just looked at him and smiled.

Liu Tingzhi didn't take him seriously at all, how could he kill him alone? Even if there are three or five more eunuchs, he will be able to get out of the way.

Over the years, he has been keeping an eye on him and has not given him half of the right. Therefore, there are only a few useless servants who can help this little emperor kill him.

However, when Liu Tingzhi saw the person who came, his heart suddenly fell to the bottom.

"Xiao asked!" He glared at the man who had come out of the shadows, two words squeezing out between his teeth.

This little emperor actually used Xiao Wen!

The point is, why would Xiao Wen be willingly driven by him?

After Xiao Wen appeared, Liu Tingzhi was surprised to find that all the people in all directions of this temple poured out and surrounded him.

Xiao Wen's tall figure was shrouded in a murderous aura, and he held a long knife in his hand and walked towards Liu Tingzhi step by step.

"Xiao asked, you have to think clearly, killing me will not benefit you at all!" Liu Tingzhi shouted.

Xiao Wen's gaze was resolute, and he approached him: "I think very clearly, I don't need benefits, I just need to kill you and avenge my grandfather and father!" ”

The words fell, and the long sword burst out.

Before Liu Tingzhi could react, the long sword passed through his heart.

Liu Tingzhi's eyes widened, looking at the sword that had submerged into his body, his face full of surprise.

"When you fornicated with the enemy country and harmed my father and grandfather, you should have thought that this day would come!" Xiao Wen's hand holding the hilt of the sword was extremely forceful, and the joints of his bones turned white.

But he looked at Xiao Wen, but suddenly laughed, and laughed very sadly.

"Fornication with the enemy? What did he tell you? A stream of blood gushed out from the corner of Liu Ting's lips, but he didn't wipe it, but looked at Emperor Zhaowen's side.

"Then did he say that the person who planned all this, who is it?" At the end of Liu Ting's strong crossbow, the words were intermittent.

Xiao Wen was stunned and looked at him sharply.

"It's the First Emperor! It's his father! And he, knowing it all along, never objected! ”

After saying this, Liu Tingzhi laughed presumptuously and arrogantly.

A mouthful of blood poured out, causing his laughter to come to an abrupt end. He struggled silently twice, and then there was no more movement.

Xiao Wen was completely shocked, and what he found was Liu Ting's collaborator, which killed his grandfather and father in battle. Liu Tingzhi actually said that it was the first emperor who planned all this?

Why did the Emperor do this? His Xiao family is full of loyalty, why can't the first emperor tolerate it?

Just when he was stunned, he suddenly heard Emperor Zhaowen on the side shouting: "The traitor Xiao Wen intends to assassinate, quickly arrest him!" ”

At the same time, in the quiet courtyard of Nanzhou City, the sycamore flowers have bloomed, and the slightly yellowed paulownia leaves add a bit of depression to this autumn day.

Sunlight leaked through the gaps between the branches and leaves, falling on the white black hair.

Yan Qing sat on the bluestone platform and opened the letter in his hand.

The white letter paper unfolded, and a few words jumped in front of him: Xiao asked the matter.
