Chapter Seventy-One: The Sword Doesn't Blade the Liu Family
In front of Liu Ai, Han Zeng didn't show half a point, and only said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your compassion, the minister and the pipa girl are innocent, and please let Your Majesty know it!" ”
"Your Majesty, since Long Ehou said so, don't be reluctant." Huo Chengjun knew that Han Zeng definitely didn't want to, so he persuaded Liu Ai on the side, completely forgetting what Liu Ai had told her before, don't be too close to Han Zeng.
Liu Yi had already glanced at Huo Chengjun, who was speaking for Han Zeng, and also saw the reassuring eyes she handed to Han Zeng, "Since the queen has spoken, how can I disappoint the queen, if the Marquis of Long has a favorite person, and I will say it, I will definitely marry Aiqing." After speaking, he silently put the back of Huo Chengjun's hand aside.
Huo Chengjun was not used to Liu Ai's intimacy, so he subconsciously dodged, but he still couldn't escape Liu Ai's palm, he gave a warning look, the strength in his hand tightened, and he shook it gently.
Huo Chengjun may not have understood Liu Aiji's intentions, but Han Zeng saw it clearly, said "Thank you, Your Majesty", and then talked about the affairs of Chu State in detail.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Changnian has made great contributions to the crime of rebellion against the King of Chu, and Zhao Changnian's daughter is the queen of the King of Chu, then Zhao Changnian is old and does not ask for a reward, but he can't bear to see his daughter's miserable end, and asks His Majesty to give a light sentence." Han Zeng was entrusted by Zhao Changnian, so he naturally tried his best to serve Zhao Changnian in front of Liu Aiji.
"I already know that the dragon is tired from waiting for this, after explaining this matter to the general, go back and rest early!" Knowing Liu Yanshou's actions, Liu Ill has handed over the next matter to Huo Guang, anyway, Liu Ill has not yet been in power, although Huo Guang said that his health is not as good as before and he has a lot of discomfort, but he is still in power.
"No!" Han Zeng waved at Liu Ill and Huo Chengjun, glanced at Liu Ill's hand that had already shook hands with Huo Chengjun, and then turned to leave.
"What does Your Majesty do?" Huo Chengjun withdrew his hand from Liu Aiji's hand, rubbed the back of his somewhat red hand, flattened his mouth, and expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Are you afraid that Han Zeng will see it?" The two sword eyebrows frowned, and the deep eyes looked at Huo Chengjun motionlessly, just waiting for her answer.
Huo Chengjun wanted to avoid Liu Aiji's eyes, but he felt that he could not avoid it, so he simply mustered up the courage to go up, "If I say I'm afraid, Your Majesty shouldn't come to see Chengjun again!" "With Liu Ai already like this, how dare she say no, this is clearly a threat!
"How dare you?" Liu Yi had already approached Huo Chengjun, and seeing that she had no heart, and even had a little joy, she was also happy in her heart, so she naturally didn't care about it anymore, "Han Zeng's marriage, I will pay attention to it, you don't have to worry about him anymore, that game of chess is not over yet." After speaking, Liu Yi got up and went to the chessboard again.
Huo Chengjun smiled and kept up with Liu Aiji's pace, and only after Liu Ai had already sat down, did he sit down on his knees, "Your Majesty, is it interesting like this, eight times out of ten times Chengjun won, and I'm a little tired of winning this win." Having said that, the white son in his hand still fell.
Liu Yi squinted at Huo Chengjun, and also left the sunspots under his hands, "Look at who will win this game, Chengjun, you are careful one day, this will be said in reverse." "Huo Chengjun has been taught since he was a child, Liu Ai has relied entirely on himself to watch others play and grope, it is normal for this chess skill to be inferior to Huo Chengjun, and Liu Ai doesn't care anymore, at least playing chess with Huo Chengjun, it is natural.
Han Zeng was not so leisurely, he didn't want to see Huo Guang, but Liu Yi had already said a word, and he beat him back to Huo Guang, Han Zeng was also helpless, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to go to Huo Mansion to find Huo Guang.
Huo Guang knew that Han Zeng was ordered to go out of the city this time to investigate the affairs of the King of Chu and the King of Guangling in detail, but Huo Guang, who had returned to the city when Han Zeng would return to the city, did not know, of course, he was quite surprised when he saw Han Zeng for the first time.
"When did Long Erhou come back, and Chu Di's party went well?" Huo Guang looked at Han Zeng with a smile, he valued Han Zeng's Huo Guang, otherwise he would not have wanted to marry Huo Chengjun to Han Zeng, and the failure of the marriage did not hinder Huo Guang's attraction to Han Zeng.
Huo Guang is always his elder, and he is also a marquis in terms of status, and he is in charge of the power of Gyeonggi, Han Zeng first bowed respectfully, "I came back at noon today, and I entered the palace to meet Your Majesty, and I told you about the affairs of the Chu State. ”
"Since they are here for state affairs, why bother, what are the intentions of the King of Chu and the King of Guangling?" For Liu Yanshou and Liu Xu, Huo Guang did not intend to be soft, Huo Guang did not say much about the banquet that day, but he did not forget.
"You and I both understand the meaning of the King of Chu, but the King of Guangling did not move, the King of Chu originally planned to order someone to bring a letter, but the King of Guangling did not see the letter, but it was in my hands, and it was presented to Your Majesty." Liu Xu is afraid that he will not have high hopes because he has passed by the throne twice, and it is okay to coax him with the king of Chu, but he is old and does not want to get involved.
Huo Guang nodded, Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, is Liu Che's son, Liu Zhi's younger brother, and the relationship with Liu Zhiji is also closer, as long as he has no intention, maybe there will be a glimmer of life, Xu is old, Huo Guang's knife is also benevolent, especially for those who used to be by Liu Che's side, he can't even do it.
"I see that the general's complexion is better, I am the Majesty I saw in the Jiaofang Palace, the queen mother and Your Majesty can really be described as Qin Se and Ming, the general's move is not wrong."
"That's right, my body probably wants to take a look at the child in Chengshu's belly to get better." mentioned the child in Huo Chengshu's belly, Huo Guang's serious face was full of love, and new life was always a particularly soft piece in his heart; Similarly, when he heard the good news of Huo Chengjun, Huo Guang's heart was finally relieved, and as for whether it was right or wrong, it could only be handed over to the will of heaven now.
The state of Chu did not have such peace and harmony, after Han Zeng left, the king of Chu also slowly realized that something was wrong, it stands to reason that Zhao Heqi should not come back so soon, so he passed Zhao Heqi to ask, how do you know that he is actually a fragment, ask him what the king of Guangling means, but there is a reply, and there is no answer.
After that, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he wanted to ask Zhao Heqi again, but he didn't know that Zhao Heqi refused to enter the Chu Palace because he was unwell, which naturally made Liu Yanshou begin to doubt whether the letter had reached Liu Xu's hands, but within a few days, Liu Yanshou found that there seemed to be more guards near the Chu Palace, and he couldn't even get out of the door, obviously under house arrest.
"Who are you, that you are so bold, that you do not know what place this is, and who this king is?" Liu Yanshou already had some conjectures in his heart, but he was still not sure if it had not been verified.
"On the orders of the general and the Marquis of Long'e, you will guard the king of Chu." The guards didn't mean to be polite at all, when Huo Guang got Han Zeng's message, although Liu Ying had not yet dealt with it, Huo Guang had already taken the first step to control Liu Yanshou, how could this person who already had the heart of rebellion still let it go.
"Although the general covers the sky with one hand, but the affairs of this king, when it is the general's turn to point fingers at the affairs of the Chu State, get out of the way, otherwise Hugh blames the king for being polite!" Although Liu Yanshou was panicked in his heart, he still had a lofty posture on his face.
The general in charge of guarding is Huo Guang's person, and he is not afraid, "The king of Chu should not be polite, the rebellious minister, does His Royal Highness the King of Chu think that His Majesty will not deal with it, the general and the Marquis of Long E's are just sharing the worries for His Majesty first, the king of Chu should please go back." "Why they came back here, they know very well, naturally they will not be afraid of Liu Yanshou's arrogance, and they still think in their hearts that they are all dying, and they can still pretend to be like this.
At this point, Liu Yanshou naturally knew that Liu Yi had definitely understood his plan, and he was still counting on Liu Xu to understand his intentions, so he could raise troops into Chang'an as he wished and rescue himself.
How do you know that Liu Yanshou's wishful thinking is destined to fail, Liu Xu heard this, his mind was full of fear, which emperor can endure the betrayal of his courtiers, and want to replace him, hurriedly repaired a book, ordered people to expedite 800 miles, sent to Chang'an City, and handed over to the general and Liu Ai, he didn't want to lose his life because of this matter, he was old, and he couldn't die well.
When Liu Yi received Liu Xu's letter, he smiled faintly and handed the letter to Huo Guang in the Xuan room, "King Guangling is afraid that he will be implicated, how can I be such an innocent person." ”
"Your Majesty Shengming", Huo Guang looked at it, handed it to Liao Gonggong again, and presented it to Liu Ai, Liu Ai has already had his own ideas, that day Han Zeng said that Liu Ai's attitude towards this matter is his own decision, Huo Guang in addition to ordering someone to put Liu Yanshou under house arrest, he no longer asks about this matter, and waits for Liu Ai's decision.
Huo Guang and Han Zeng didn't wait long, and Liu Ying had already made his final decision on the second day after receiving Liu Xu's letter.
"If my sword is not raised to the Liu family, let Liu Yanshou, the king of Chu, judge himself, as for his family, all capital crimes will be exempted, and those who have nothing to do with rebellion will return home without guilt; Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, has no objection, and I will not pursue it. "It stands to reason that this rebellion is a major crime of the three clans, but Liu Zhi has only cured Liu Yanshou as one mastermind, and the rest are all stopped.
There are also people in the court who are worried about whether Liu Xu has an antipathy, and some people have written a book, whether Liu Xu has an antipathy or not, his daughter's marriage with the Chu State is always right, which shows that there are signs of it, and it is better to kill by mistake than let it go.
Liu Ai has already said: "In this way, it is not too late to wait for him to be punished." Anyway, he made up his mind to treat Liu Yanshou alone, but no one knew why.
In the eyes of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world, Liu Ai has really been a holy monarch, who does not kill innocents indiscriminately, and is full of mercy; In Huo Guang's view, he was even more relieved in his heart, but he was thinking more about his own family affairs, Huo Guang's non-statement was actually to leave a way back for himself, the crime of rebellion was too big, and Liu Ill had only cured Liu Yanshou alone, and smaller crimes than this could naturally be forgiven.
