Chapter 197: The Struggle for the Throne (1)

A luxurious carriage galloped out of the West Garden, driven by horses and horses, and rushed to the south of the city, and Jian Shuo on the car kept urging the coachman: "Hurry up, hurry up, the emperor can wait!" ”

In less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Rong Mansion, and there were already soldiers along the way, Zhuang Shaoyou couldn't understand it in the mansion, this is the carriage of the West Garden, what are you doing here at this time? Isn't Liu Hong awake? Then Xiyuan should be busy with a pot of porridge, why did he come here?

"Could it be that Liu Hong wants to ......"

Thinking of this, Zhuang Shaoyou was suddenly a little surprised, and at this moment, his subordinates reported: "Jian Shuo is visiting!" ”

Tian Feng had also been thinking about it just now, and said: "It may be that the emperor summoned him, why don't the general go!" There may be a windfall! ”

Le Jin stopped and said: "No! Never! The general has a great deal to do, so how can he personally get involved in danger? ”

At this moment, a familiar male duck voice came from the courtyard: "General Zhuang! The emperor wants to see you, but our family is afraid that the general will worry, so I came in person! ”

And so it was!

Zhuang Shaoyou was also a little undecided, but he was more inclined to Tian Feng's opinion.

"Summoned by the emperor? Isn't my father-in-law joking? ”

Jian Shuo shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The emperor just woke up and pointed out that he wanted to see the general!" Our family knows that the general has a grudge, but this time our family guarantees the safety of the general with the head of the item! As long as the general is sure, our family will agree to any conditions! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou was a little stunned, what conditions were agreed? Why is this guy so good at talking?

Tian Feng stepped forward and said, "The general is not as good as a line!" ”

Le Jin and the others wanted to stop them, but Zhuang Shaoyou waved his hand to stop them and said, "Okay! If you don't go into the tiger's den, you can get the tiger? Why should General Ben go on a trip? ”

Le Jin stepped forward and persuaded: "The general insists on going, and his subordinates are willing to go with the general!" ”

"No need, Qian, you sit here, General Ben will be fine! Rest assured! ”

Le Jin and the others wanted to say something more, but Zhuang Shaoyou had already left for the rest of the country

"Father-in-law, let's go!"

Jian Shuo was overjoyed when he saw this, and said, "This is very good! So much better! General please! ”

The carriage galloped on Luoyang Avenue, and pedestrians avoided it.

In the West Garden, Zhuang Shaoyou followed Jian Shuo into the interior, and met Liu Yan on the way.

"General Zhuang is really busy! The old man looked forward to the general day and night, and in the end, he didn't expect the general anywhere! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou is disdainful, this kind of person! But he still made a sincere look on his face and said, "Lord Liu, I'm really sorry!" I was seriously injured a few days ago, and today I have only slightly improved, and this general is really involuntarily, please Liu Dahaihan! ”

Liu Yan sighed and said: "This matter is also the old man's fault first, today the old man will set off to Yizhou to take up his post, if the general is unwilling in Luoyang in the future, you can go to Shu to find the old man, the old man will be welcome!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou was the only one stunned, this guy is going to run away? It seems that this is the case, Liu Yan suggested adding the post of state pastor, and overseeing the military and political power of a state. This person also has some brains, but he is too cautious, more cautious than aggressive! Yizhou is also suitable for this kind of person!

Jian Shuo urged: "Lord Liu, the emperor is still waiting to summon General Zhuang!" ”

Liu Yan arched his hand: "So don't disturb the two of you, say goodbye!" ”

Liu Hong was lying on the couch, and the two little palace maids around him were still waiting carefully on the side, and in the month of moving to the West Garden, more than 100 palace maids and eunuchs were abused to death by Liu Hong! The talk of the West Garden changes color!

"Your Majesty! Zhuang Shaoyou is here! ”

Hearing this, Liu Hong slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look out of the door with difficulty, and the palace maid who was waiting next to him hurriedly retreated.

Zhuang Shaoyou came to him in light armor, hesitated, but still knelt down and saluted: "Minister Zhuang Shaoyou knocks to see the emperor!" ”

Liu Hong didn't rush to summon Zhuang Shaoyou to get up, but asked, "Zhuang Shaoyou!" Are you guilty? ”

Not only Zhuang Shaoyou's heart chuckled, but even Jian Shuo next to him was startled, anxious, for fear that the emperor would cut off his life in anger!

Zhuang Shaoyou stubbornly said: "Please forgive the emperor for being stupid, Weichen really doesn't know what the crime is!" ”

Liu Hong continued to shout: "Contradicting me, committing Tianwei, this is a great crime of disrespect!" It should be exterminated! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou's expression had returned to normal, and he continued to argue: "The minister just wants to protect his beloved woman!" That's all! ”

"Presumptuous! In your eyes, can't I even catch up with a woman? ”

Zhuang Shaoyou was silent, what is the trouble for this crime? Who made the family the emperor, don't speak, express acquiescence! Thinking about what to do if he turns his face later, is it to hold Liu Hong hostage, or to hold Jian Shuo hostage?

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, Jian Shuo was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he just wanted to speak, but he was stopped by Liu Hong, Liu Hong suddenly laughed, making the two of them a little overwhelmed below.

"Good! Good! You can say that again! Protect your beloved woman! ”

Liu Hong didn't know whether he was lobbying Zhuang Shaoyou, or talking to himself, so Zhuang Shaoyou didn't know what to say for a while!

Liu Hong turned his head and continued: "It has been twenty-two years since I ascended the throne at the age of twelve! I have been an emperor for twenty-two years, but in these twenty-two years, I have not been happy for a single day! Although I am noble as the sky, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister! But I've never been able to call the shots!

First of all, the Empress Dowager Dou, the general Dou Wu, and the Taifu Chen Fan took power, and I used Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong to defeat them, but the front door went to the tiger and the back door to enter the wolf, and I still said that it didn't count! Over the years, I have always been a puppet emperor, and there is not a day when I can do whatever I want!

I also want to be a good emperor, I want to do things for the people, and I want to become a wise man through the ages, but I have never had a chance! Since the day I ascended the throne, I have been constantly constrained! At the beginning of the month, I moved to the West Garden, and I had Aiqing's help, at that time, I thought that I could finally show my ambitions, show my ambitions, at least wash away the notoriety of the past mediocrity, so that the history books can praise a stroke!

However, I was confused by the mind, and it was all He Lian's damn shrew! Kill the women I love one after another! I'm not reconciled! It's not Cai Yan who likes it! It's someone else! But I couldn't find her, I couldn't find her anywhere, I must have been killed by He Lian! It's definitely her!

Aiqing can do whatever it takes to save the woman she loves, but I can't do it, Queen Song, Wang Meiren, and the little palace maid are all my women, but I can't protect them! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Hong was still extremely excited, and Jian Shuo hurriedly persuaded: "The emperor is angry!" The dragon body matters! ”

After a long time, Liu Hong gradually calmed down, and then said:

"Aiqing, I don't care about you in the past! I have one thing to ask for! I hope Aiqing doesn't shirk! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou just listened to Liu Hong's emotion, and his heart was also a little sympathetic, as the so-called people are about to die, and their words are also good! Hearing that Liu Hong had something to trust, he hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, the ministers must do their best to live up to the emperor's trust!" ”

Liu Hong coughed lightly and said: "I know that the deadline is approaching, although there are still many reluctances in my heart, but there is only one thing, if I don't do it, I will not die!" ”

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"I have a daughter, born to me and my wife Queen Song, she is ten years old this year, after I am gone, no one can protect her, I entrust her to Aiqing, Aiqing can resist me for the woman she loves, I think I am the right person, I have only one request, treat her well!"
