"I'm afraid there will be a funeral in this Weiyang Palace..... I'm afraid!"

As soon as Liu Xiu said these words, his face immediately changed, and he explained hesitantly: "Of course, the old man is just a false guess, but he can't really count. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

As he spoke, he also secretly blamed himself in his heart for being too carried away, and it would be really troublesome for such a confidential matter to be announced so easily, and the important matter was heard by others.

After all, he is now at home, and His Majesty is quite dissatisfied with the proverbs related to himself that have been circulating in the market during this time, and his current situation can be said to have been forced to retreat to the edge of the cliff, and he can't take another wrong step, otherwise he will lose everything.

Ximen Junhui knew what the National Teacher in front of him was worried about, it had been almost two months since he entered the National Teacher's Mansion, and his previous experience in society made him easily understand the temper of the old man in front of him. In the final analysis, he is just a stubborn old man who is literate and loves divination, and his own ability, can't he still be an old antique with feudal thoughts?

"What the lord said is indeed reasonable, the dragon is the beast of the emperor, it can be big and small, and it can be promoted and hidden; The big one is the clouds and the fog, and the small one is hidden and hidden; The rising is soaring between the universe, and the hidden is lurking in the waves. Its color is still white, and the Lord will kill and kill, and there will be swords and soldiers; The crow throws itself into the river, and the matter will be mourned, and it is located in the south, so this hexagram must be fulfilled. ”

Liu Xiu saw that Ximen was very clever and did not mention his slip of the tongue just now, and instantly returned to his previous cautious appearance: "Well, since the Taoist chief said so, it seems that Xiu's divination is indeed right?" It's a pity that this is a murderous hexagram, and when it comes to fulfillment, a few lives will have to be removed. ”

As he spoke, he began to pull Simon to his knees and sit on the seat, and the two sat opposite each other, and began to talk enthusiastically about this divination.

Although Liu Xiu is the leader of Confucianism in the world and the most orthodox descendant of Confucius, he is extremely fond of divination, a very popular social atmosphere. For his hobby, he also wrote a book to explain the meaning of the phrase "Zi is silent, strange and chaotic" in today's era, and justifies divination in legal theory.

Ximen Junhui spread the bamboo slips brought by Liu Xiu between his legs, and a pair of dark and rough hands gently stroked the nicks on it, and suddenly raised his head and said, "The national teacher came today, it must not be as simple as divination, right?" ”

Liu Xiu bowed slightly: "The murderous hexagram is one thing, but I haven't been here with you for a while, and I just want to ask today, how is that thing?" ”

Ximen Junhui immediately replied with understanding: "The gold, silver and jewelry have been sent out, and only the people of Meixin Gong and Taishi have not moved, and everyone else has promised to help you go to the Ruizhang on the day of His Majesty's sacrifice to the Taimiao." ”

"Humph! Mourning and Wangyi? Wang Yi, the old horseman, is okay, after all, he is from a famous family, although he is tyrannical and expropriating, he still cares about his face; Mourning? It's just a shameless villain, you don't have to pay attention to him. ”

"No."

"The matter of Ruizhang is all up to you, as for the auspicious rui from all over the country, I am sending people to search around, and when you go to your majesty's temple to sacrifice to the temple, you will definitely be able to make your majesty understand this intention."

"Your Excellency is clever." Simon complimented.

"Hmm." Liu Xiu stroked his gray beard with his hand and said with a look of trust: "I don't have to worry about you doing things." ”

Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, he pretended to be casual and said: "By the way, when Su'er came back to see me a few days ago, he said that His Majesty had let the prince enter the palace to accompany him, what do you think about this?" ”

Ximen Junhui didn't answer immediately, he pondered for a moment, then raised his head and replied with a serious face: "I'm afraid that the hexagram that your lord divined today will be fulfilled on the prince." ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he was immediately shocked: "How can you say this?" ”

"Do you remember the matter of Prince Yin and Zhongsun?"

As soon as the words came out, Liu Xiu understood the meaning of Ximen's words.

Prince Yin and Zhongsun refer to Wang Mang's eldest son Wang Yu and second son Wang Shu respectively, Wang Shu killed a slave when Wang Mang was living in seclusion in Xinye because of the attack of his political enemies, and in order to prevent others from making a fuss about this matter, he directly ordered his son Wang Shu to commit suicide. Use it to gain fame.

And the cause of death of the eldest son Wang Yu is even more outrageous. After the death of Emperor Wai, Wang Mang set up the nine-year-old King of Zhongshan as the emperor, in order to prevent Emperor Ping's mother party from fighting for power with him, Wang Mang did not allow the emperor's mother Wei Ji to come to the capital, Emperor Ping's uncles were all marquis, and they were not allowed to come to the capital, and all the Wei clansmen were not allowed to come to Beijing. Wei Ji wanted to see her son crying day and night. Wang Mang's eldest son, Wang Yu, was afraid that Emperor Ping would take revenge on the Wang family for this when he became an adult, and opposed the isolation of the Wei family, and contacted the Wei family, and opposed Wang Mang doing so. He knew that persuasion was useless, and wanted to intimidate Wang Mang with ghosts and gods, so he sent his brother-in-law Lu Kuan to sprinkle dog blood in front of Wang Mang's door. Wang Yu's wife, who was pregnant, was executed after giving birth to her son in prison.

Later, Wang Mang often compared his killing of his own son to Zhou Gong's punishment of Cai, which is really incredible. may also be more fond of the eldest son Wang Yu, so Wang Mang named him the hidden prince after Wang Yu committed suicide.

Ximen Junhui thoroughly understood Wang Mang's growth trajectory at this time, so he knew very well what to say to make Liu Xiu alert.

As Wang Mang's right-hand man, Liu Xiu deeply understands that although Wang Mang is benevolent, righteous and moral, generous and loving on the surface. But in fact, he is ruthless, mean-spirited. Now that he was reminded by Ximen Junhui like this, he suddenly had a sense of danger, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and he no longer dared to act rashly.

"You mean something will happen to the prince?"

Simon nodded: "It's just worrying, adults don't have to worry too much." ”

Liu Xiu first froze for a moment, and then he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no!" What the Taoist chief said is very reasonable, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been living outside the palace before, why did His Majesty suddenly let him enter the palace at this time? Something must have happened in between! ”

"No, I have to write to Su'er as soon as possible and ask her to pay more attention to the movements in the palace. If something happens to the prince, what we did before will be in vain! ”
