Chapter 103: The Tao is Different
Beihua Harem, outside the Queen Mother's bedroom, the sun is scorching and the air is hot and dry.
Liu Li waited for a while, only to see the messenger running out again with an apologetic face. Before Liu Li could speak, he walked to the door.
"Your Majesty, wait, the Queen Mother is really taking a nap!"
Liu Li glanced at the person blocking the road, and Gao Hai directly pushed the person away.
Seeing the situation, the people around rushed over, but they couldn't help Gao Hai, so they had to watch in a panic as Liu Li broke in without thinking.
Liu Li pushed open the door and walked in quickly, and before he could speak, he saw Liu Zhong and the Queen Mother looking at him in unison.
The eyes of the three were frightened, and then gradually stabilized, and then turned to anger.
Liu Li was stunned for a long time, then he understood everything again, thought about it, and walked in.
"Erchen meets the queen mother!
The Queen Mother replied in a cold tone: "No courtesy, what is the matter with finding the mourning family?"
Liu Li looked at Liu Zhong and said without hesitation: "Erchen wants to ask his mother, how to solve this matter? In order to stabilize people's hearts and reconcile relations, this matter needs to be dealt with as soon as possible and find out the truth!"
The Queen Mother smiled, not feeling embarrassed at all. Liu Zhong's face was like a frosted pear, with a cold and bleak melancholy.
"Naturally, it's like this, but why did you come to ask the mourning family? Now that you and the second prince are standing here, and they are also here to ask the meaning of the mourning family, do you still have to divide up and down?"
The Queen Mother drank tea calmly, quietly watching the confrontation between the two brothers, and her heart blossomed. In any case, she is a profiteering.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
"Second brother!"
"I keep calling my second brother, but I can't be respectful, is this going to rob me now?"
Liu Li was stunned for a moment and looked at Liu Zhong. "Naturally not, they are all their own brothers. But it's everyone's job to find out the truth!"
The Queen Mother put down the teacup, looked the same as Liu Zhong, and looked at Liu Li coldly. "Then why didn't the three of us arrest the murderer together, or work hard separately, but we were all stunned here? The emperor still forced his way into the palace, but he didn't trust the queen mother?"
Liu Li wanted to speak and stopped, at a loss for what to do under the strange gazes of the two.
"Third brother, you have always been the most humble and polite, why did you mess up your duties this time? This matter has a lot to do with you, and it happened in front of your eyes. Whether you want to find out the truth or clear your name, I want to see you come with evidence. Otherwise, don't blame the second brother, I turned my face and didn't recognize people!"
Liu Li nodded, held back all the sadness in his heart, and said with a smile: "Accept what the two said, I should sort out the relationship, find out the truth, and give everyone a fact, and also prove my innocence!
Liu Li turned around and left, but was stopped by Liu Zhong loudly.
"Third brother, don't forget, you can't call yourself 'I' anymore! Don't think that Gonggong Liu has taken the blame for you, you can get away with it, no one can say for sure!"
Liu Li sneered, "This is natural! This is also the last time I am sincere!"
After that, Liu Li turned around and left directly, he was afraid that he would not be so firm enough in the next second.
Ever since he opened the door and saw their expressions, Liu Li had already understood everything. Since he began to doubt the Queen Mother, settle his emotions, and establish his direction, he knew very well who he was, and he regained his mind and intelligence, as if he had wiped the windows of his soul.
Since they are given many choices, those people still have to take the single-plank bridge, then they are not the people of the same road.
Liu Zhong looked at Liu Li's back and sighed: "The Tao is different, don't conspire with each other!"
"What do you mean?" The Queen Mother suppressed her joy and asked calmly: "What do you want to say when you come to me? Your mother is quick to speak, haven't you learned this advantage?"
"I don't think the Queen Mother should protect Father-in-law Liu, nor should she be merciful to the third brother. You didn't handle this matter properly!"
The Queen Mother smiled lightly, "Why do you say this?"
"Liu Zhong comforted the Queen Mother, don't put up with Liu Li anymore, he is just an unsuccessful waste! You and him have different political views, different thoughts, and different goals. In that case, why pretend to be peaceful?"
The Queen Mother smiled and asked gently: "Why do you say this about the Mourning family and the emperor? Could it be that the death of Concubine Shu has hit you too hard? Or do you think that the gap between the Mourning family and the emperor is too big and cannot be recovered?"
"It's not the same flesh and blood, how can you raise kindness?" Liu Zhong smiled, showing a smug expression. "Actually, the Queen Mother doesn't have to pretend. I know he's not your own flesh and blood, and you're raising him to raise a puppet!"
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Your mother told you?"
"Yes, two months ago, my mother told me the secret. He also said that he knew the cause of his father's death and wanted to use it as a blackmail so that he could go out of the palace to meet me. I thought it would go well, but I didn't expect this secret to be a life talisman for me!
"Do you think your mother is blackmailing the mourning family?" The queen mother smiled and said word by word: "She is the emperor who is blackmailing, so he killed your mother!"
"I don't care so much, since you don't want to help him, why don't we work together?"
"What are you doing together?" The Queen Mother smiled and thought: I don't need to persuade you, but you are here to persuade me, it's really funny! However, I didn't expect him to be so cold-blooded and resolute!
"We overthrew Liu Li together, and he had no real power. You have a lot of power, and I have a reason to force him to abdicate. You've kept him for so many years, I'm afraid you don't want him to be the emperor all the time, right?!"
"Let him abdicate?" the Queen Mother thought for a moment and looked at Liu Zhong tentatively. "Then who will be the emperor?"
"Naturally, it's big brother! Don't you like big brother the most? and you've always wanted him to be on the throne, haven't you?"
The Queen Mother laughed loudly, and then looked at Liu Zhong with a little sadness. "That's half right! The mourning family wanted the eldest prince to be the emperor, but he refused, otherwise he would have been put on the dragon throne. What do you think the mourning family left him for, because there was no one to choose! The mourning family really regrets that they drove away so many princes back then, and now there are only three of you left......
"The eldest prince doesn't want to, the third prince can't, then ......"
"It's just you!"
The Queen Mother and Liu Zhong looked at each other for a long time, and they each thought a lot in their hearts.
"The Queen Mother values me so much? I'm just an outcast who stays in Baihe all year round!"
"No, you're not an outcast!" The Queen Mother smiled softly, thinking: You are not an outcast, you are a chess piece!
Liu Zhong looked at the Queen Mother with joy and sorrow, his eyes were full of surprise and expectation, who could resist the temptation in the face of the throne?
"Queen Mother!"
"You can try to call me 'Queen Mother'!"
"What?"
"Didn't you say that? If you want to overthrow the emperor, you have to have a new emperor. Are you willing to do it?"
"I... I... I am willing!" Liu Zhong said excitedly, "I will definitely share the same hatred with the Queen Mother and overthrow Liu Li!"
"However, this is not simple!" the Queen Mother smiled, "You said, the current evidence seems to have been emptied by him, and he has no clue at all, how can he be punished for his crimes?"
"This!"
"Hey, although this is a serious crime, with the joint efforts of you and me, it is still difficult to overthrow an emperor! After all, this is related to the government and has a lot involved. If it is not conclusive evidence, or ......"
"Or is he dead?"
The Queen Mother looked at Liu Zhong in horror, "He is your third brother, he usually cares so much about you!"
"Queen Mother, are you reluctant to kill him?"
"Not really!"
"Then let me come, and I will pave the way for the dragon seat. When did the emperors of the past abdicate the throne not set off a bloody storm? I want to be worthy of my mother, who let him have bad intentions?"
The Queen Mother lowered her head and smiled, "Then do you want me to help do something?"
