Chapter 0164: The Crown Prince Was Assassinated, Who Was the Real Murderer?

After being busy in the Prime Minister's Mansion until nightfall, Liu Ying said goodbye to Xiao He tiredly and embarked on the road back to the palace.

Seeing that Liu Ying was reluctant to take the car, the accompanying eunuch Chuntuo did not dare to force him, and only followed Liu Ying a little nervously.

But what made Chun Tuo puzzled, and therefore a little relieved: Zhangtai Street under the night sky, from time to time walked by groups of patrolling Southern Army guards.

If Chuntuo hadn't only cared about Liu Ying's safety and didn't carefully look at the 'first team' of guards, Chuntuo would have found that from Xiangfu to Sima Gate, a distance of only two or three hundred steps, the 'dozens' of janitorial teams passing by Liu Ying's side were actually composed of three janitorial patrols of fifty people each.

What is even more impossible for Chuntuo to understand is that these three patrols alternately and 'passed' Liu Ying's side back and forth, without receiving any transfer orders······

"Whew~"

Silently walked out for a long distance, Liu Ying finally let out a tired breath, and waved her sleeves a little helplessly, trying to dispel the smoke and fire smell on her body.

——What Liu Ying saw and heard in the Prime Minister's Mansion today can definitely be regarded as 'appalling'!

Previously, in the Tai Palace, Xiao He only said one sentence, 'King Zhao and Tian are entangled', and Liu Ying didn't take it too seriously.

But just now, when she saw the stack of bamboo slips taller than herself in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Ying almost dropped her jaw in shock!

——As early as four years ago, when Prime Minister Xiao He was forcibly moved into Changling from Handan, the capital of Qi, the Changling Tian clan has already had a relationship with Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, and his maternal family, the Qi clan!

Although in the past four years, neither the Changling Tian clan nor the relatives of the maternal Qi clan have helped Liu Ruyi much, but the correspondence between the two sides has been so frequent that it is outrageous!

said a little disrespectfully: In the past four years, Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, has exchanged letters with the Changling Tian clan, and may even be much more than what Liu Ruyi said to his father Liu Bang!

And among the 'evidence of King Zhao's crimes' that filled the entire guest hall, the sentence that appeared most frequently also made Liu Ying a little suspicious: Is the younger brother's brain really all following his mother?

"As soon as it is established as a reserve, it will be planned to re-seal the Tian family in Qidi, survive intermittently, and succeed Tian Qi's temple and society······"

"Hey ······"

Sneering and shaking her head, Liu Ying couldn't help but sigh a little.

Liu Ying understands that 'resealing the king of the Tian family' is most likely just a big cake painted by the stupid brother for the Tian family.

Even if he really lets Liu Ruyi sit in the world in the future, the wish of the Changlingtian clan to 'reign again' will never be fulfilled one day.

In terms of the technique of painting flatbread alone, Liu Ying does not feel that her brother has done anything wrong.

'Survival to be continued, regain the king's land' is definitely the most attractive and irresistible bargaining chip that Liu Ruyi can come up with in front of the Changling Tian clan.

Even, even Tian knew in his heart that this was just a big cake that Liu Ruyi painted for his own family, but for the less than one in 10,000 possibility, Tian would inevitably be willing to bow down and offer all his loyal ministers to Liu Ruyi.

But the crux of the matter is: this kind of thing, verbally agreed, or even not spoken, the right to acquiesce, how can you leave pen and ink?

Now that it's okay, with the suspicion of 'intending to reseal the princes with different surnames', even if Daddy Liu Bang makes Liu Chang, the youngest of the princes and the eighth eldest who has just turned two years old, the crown prince, it will never be Liu Ruyi's turn.

- Liu Ying is very sure: even if he has burned all the letters exchanged between his younger brother Liu Ruyi and the Changlingtian clan on the grounds of 'the secret fortune of the heavenly family, it must not be leaked', the content of the book must have been sent to his father word by word by the loyal Han Prime Minister Xiao He.

With this matter being lowered, coupled with the suspicion of 'killing his brother and seizing the prince', Liu Ruyi can no longer pose even the slightest threat to Liu Ying.

But at this moment, Liu Ying, who stopped in front of Simamen, did not feel any relaxed because of Liu Ruyi's 'political violent death'.

"Huaiyin Marquis Han Xin······"

"Alas·········"

Raising his head, looking at the plaque on the doorway, and shaking his head worriedly, Liu Ying frowned and entered Weiyang Palace from Sima Gate.

- If nothing else, at this moment, Queen Lu Pheasant is sitting in the main hall of Weiyang Palace, waiting for Liu Ying to come to the door and report today's matter in a proper manner······

·

"Emperor Sword Chixiao?!"

Weiyang Palace, the main hall of the Xuanshu Palace.

Hearing his brother Lu Shizhi's whispering, Rao knew the 'mythical component' of Chixiao's White Snake Sword, and Lu Pheasant couldn't help but be a little surprised.

As the wife of today's son Liu Bang when he was slightly cold, and the royal god stick in the early days of the uprising, Lu Pheasant really knows too well how much water there is in this myth.

But Rao is like this, and it does not affect the importance of the Chixiao Heavenly Son Sword to the Han family.

For the people of the world, Liu Bang's killing of the white snake and responding to the mandate of heaven is a clear proof that the Han family was ordered by heaven!

And the Chixiao Sword, which is known as the 'White Snake Sword' by the folks, represents a significance in the Han Dynasty that is no less than the jade seal of the country.

"Hmmm······"

After bowing his head and pondering for a long time, Lu Pheasant finally loosened his brows slightly, and said lightly: "Even if he still has a little conscience, he didn't let that fox be blindfolded!" ”

Saying that, Lu Pheasant's originally slightly gloomy eyebrows also quietly brought a little warmth.

——Before that, even if he had become the nominal 'prince of the prison country', Liu Ying could not guarantee that the storage position was foolproof!

But with the addition of the Emperor Sword Chixiao, Liu Ying's storage position can already be called impregnable.

Even Liu Ying's honorary status as the 'Prince of the Prison Country' can also be relied on with the blessing of the Chixiao Sword to lean a little closer to the prince of the Prison Country in the real sense.

The grievances in the heart of the sediment for many years dissipated, so how could Lu Pheasant not like it?

That is, in the past, her husband Liu Bang had done too many things that went back on his word, which made Lu Pheasant have a heart.

Otherwise, this one thing alone is enough for Lu Pheasant to happily gather his relatives and set up a banquet in Weiyang Palace!

"But what else is there to do?"

The mood was joyful, and even with Lu Pheasant's tone, he was inexplicably a little affinity.

Hearing Lu Pheasant's extremely gentle inquiry, Lu Shizhi also smiled slightly, and then turned his face slightly straighter.

"I don't know yet."

"Qu rebelled against the Hou to come with the festival, went straight to the palace, announced His Majesty's edict and gave the emperor the sword Chixiao."

"Then, Qu Shunhou said: In addition to the edict, Your Majesty has another edict, and I want to ask the family face to face."

"The family will lead Qu Rebel Hou and Xiao Xiangguo into the side hall."

Speaking of this, Lu Shizhi's face couldn't help but stiffen slightly, and his tone was also a little embarrassed.

"And the family with the Qu Rebellion Marquis, Xiao Xiangguo discussed in the side hall, and the ministers also asked the eunuchs and maids in the palace."

"But in the end, I couldn't solve the ······"

As if he said this casually, Lu Shizhi lowered his head without a trace, and quietly looked at the expression on his sister Lu Pheasant's face.

Seeing Lu Shizhi's behavior, Lu Pheasant only pondered for a while, and then he also understood the voice of Lu Shizhi's words.

"Brother may not know~"

"Last year, there was a burglar in the womb of the prince, and the prince was furious about this."

His face was slightly stiff when he said this, and he saw Lu Pheasant Qiang smile and lower his head, and sighed slightly.

"Xu is last year, the prince was punished for this matter, so that the servants and maidservants in the palace palpitated, and they didn't dare to say more······"

Hearing Lu Pheasant's words, Lu Shi's heart moved, and he was about to speak again, but he heard Liu Ying's slightly tired voice at the door of the palace.

"Son, respectfully ask the queen mother for ······"

Almost at the moment when Liu Ying appeared, the worry on Lu Pheasant's face disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Instead, there was a softness that made Lu Shizhi a little envious, as well as extreme love.

"But tired?"

Wen smiled and nodded, then saw Lu Pheasant ask in an easy-going tone, moved around, naturally gave up the position next to him, and beckoned to Liu Ying with a smile.

"Come on, sit down and rest."

Feeling the tenderness and gentleness that came to her face, Liu Ying also seemed to be driven back a little from tiredness, and stepped forward with a smile on her face, and sat down beside Lu Pheasant obediently.

When Liu Ying and Lu Shizhi saw the salute, they saw Lu Pheasant smiling and taking Liu Ying's hand, and pretending to be surprised to look at Liu Ying's waist.

"Huh?"

"My son has been given by His Majesty with the emperor's sword, but he is not tied to his side?"

Listening to the old lady's undisguised ridicule, Liu Ying only smiled helplessly, and seemed to be a little embarrassed to look at Lu Shizhi on the side.

"The queen mother is happy again······"

Hearing that Liu Ying's voice was a little shy, Lu Shizhi on the side also smiled kindly.

"The queen may not know."

"Qu rebelled against the Hou and announced the edict of the Son of Heaven, in order to give the emperor the sword Chixiao on behalf of His Majesty, but the family did not see joy, but repeatedly thanked him."

"In the end, I can't resist the mission of Qu Rebellion Hou, and the family is only then given gratitude, and I say that I will serve the emperor's sword Chixiao in the main hall of Changxin, in order to replace the majesty of His Majesty's Zhuang family to supervise the prestige of the country······"

Hearing Lu Shizhi's 'intimate' explanation, Liu Ying showed a look of apprehension at the right time, but her heart was quietly tight!

"The ······ of the Imperial Palace"

"Hmmm······"

Thoughtfully smiling at Lu Shizhi, Liu Ying quietly lowered her head.

Seeing Liu Ying's reaction, Lu Pheasant smiled and took Liu Ying's hand, gently put it between his hands and patted it.

"So it is very proper that no one will be left ······ truth."

Hearing this, Liu Ying only squeezed out a stiff smile uneasily, and raised her head as if she was a little weak-hearted.

"Father's ······"

"Hi~"

"Seeing that Qu Yihou came with the emperor's sword Chixiao, my son thought that he was his father's teacher, and wanted to punish Yu Er because of his son's negligence in traveling, and even being assassinated in Changling······"

Seeing that Liu Ying still looked palpitating, Lu Pheasant turned sideways with a smile and pulled Liu Ying's hand as usual.

"It's not such a reserved place~"

"-I think the prince is the prince, just a Chixiao sword, my son, I can afford it!"

Without changing his face, he said the number of 'Chixiao', and saw that Lu Pheasant was angry again.

"Chixiao is the sword of the Son of Heaven; If you don't have the crown prince, is it difficult, and you can still be with that cheap? ”

"Humph!"

"Your Majesty will give it, and you can afford to !! that cheap servant."

Listening to the old lady's domineering declaration one after another, Liu Ying just smiled and lowered her head, and didn't dare to speak.

saw that Lu Pheasant said a few more words to himself, so he naturally took Liu Ying's hand again.

"I heard that Wu'er Fangcai, it seems that he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Xiao Xiang?"

Hearing the old lady ask about business, Liu Ying also smiled slightly, and her expression suddenly changed.

"I was about to tell the queen mother."

"——Today, in addition to passing on his father's edict from generation to generation, Qu Shunhou will give the emperor's sword Chixiao Yu'er, and he will get the third oracle from his father, so as to ask Yuwu'er in person!"

said this with a little seriousness, and saw Liu Ying's face sink slightly.

"First, the father gave the son the emperor's sword Chixiao, in addition to protecting the child and borrowing the child's prestige, it is also related to the abnormal boiling of the price of Chinese grain, and the father wants to make the son take full control of this, and stabilize the price of grain in Guanzhong with the policy of grain and rice official camp."

"The matter of the grain and rice official camp has been told to the queen mother before; Today, it has also been described in detail in Qu Rebellion. ”

Hearing Liu Ying talk about business, Lu Pheasant also involuntarily sat up straight, and his expression quietly swelled with solemnity.

When Lu Pheasant nodded slightly, he saw Liu Yingwei groaning, and his expression suddenly became a little difficult to look at.

"Second ······"

"The connection between King Zhao and the Changling Tian clan is unclear, and the father wants to make a son and condemn King Zhao······"

With a complicated expression, Liu Ying sighed again, and her brows were quietly furrowed.

But seeing that Lu Pheasant heard this, his expression did not show anything unusual, and he only raised his hand slightly, and stopped Lu Shizhi's urgent move to speak.

lowered his head and thought for a moment, and saw Lu Pheasant raise his head thoughtfully, and in his gaze at Liu Ying, there was only a vast and flat place.

"My son went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the evidence of burning King Zhao and dealing with the Changling Tian clan?"

After Liu Ying nodded a little apprehensively, Lu Pheasant's face finally bloomed with a touch of gentleness like a spring breeze.

"Very good~"

"Very good ······"

Seeing that Liu Ying and Lu Pheasant's mother and son lowered their heads respectively, and they didn't mean to speak again, Lu Shizhi couldn't help but feel anxious.

But seeing that Lu Pheasant didn't see the urgency on Lu Shizhi's face, he smiled meaningfully, and looked at Liu Ying's face that seemed to be a little secretive.

"If what I expected is good, in addition to the grain and rice official camp, the punishment of King Zhao, Qu Shunhou will return to Chang'an, and he will also get His Majesty's will, and want to ask Yu'er in person with the real murderer of the assassination?"

Listening to the old lady's extremely accurate words, Liu Ying only nodded solemnly.

"The queen mother's eyes are like torches······"

"If it weren't for the fact that he pretended to be urgent and rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Xiao Xiang, he was afraid that Qu Shunhou would ask him if he opened his mouth, and he would have ······ for this matter."

As Liu Ying replied secretly, Lu Pheasant only smiled meaningfully and looked Liu Ying up and down.

"Hmmm······"

"Rest and recuperate, when it is ······ no hindrance"

Talking to himself, Lu Pheasant finally turned his head sideways with a smile and looked at Lu Shizhi with an indifferent face.

"I'm afraid I should return my brother Lao, pack up here for a few days, and then follow the prince out of Chang'an and go to Sanyuan."

After giving the order in a calm tone, Lu Pheasant ignored Lu Shizhi's increasingly confused expression, turned his back, and smiled with Liu Ying tacitly.

"Since the assassination of Changling, the prince has lived in the deep palace for a long time and has not shown his face to others, so that the people in Guanzhong are panicked and gossip."

"Now, the canal repair has not yet been completed, the prince should go to Sanyuan, and after completing the canal repair, it is also good to be in peace and panic······"
