Chapter 198: The Struggle for the Throne (2)

When Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, he was stunned again, what is the situation? The emperor wants to entrust the princess to me? Liu Hong summoned me today for this? It just gave me a false alarm! Emperor Han Ling still has a daughter? And listen to this, this woman will be my wife? Well, isn't that?

It turned out that Liu Hong deliberately questioned Zhuang Shaoyou just now but couldn't swallow this breath and wanted to get back! The emperor's mind is unpredictable!

Liu Hong was a little displeased when he saw that Zhuang Shaoyou did not answer

"My daughter is also a beautiful woman, and she is not inferior to Cai Yan, does Aiqing think that my princess is not worthy of you?"

That's a bit heavy! The emperor's daughter is enough to match anyone, but Zhuang Shaoyou can't react for a while, and this woman who has never met is suddenly going to become his wife, which really makes Zhuang Shaoyou a little unacceptable. However, seeing that Liu Hong was displeased, Zhuang Shaoyou did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly explained

"The minister and the princess have never met, is there something wrong with this arrangement? The minister can promise the emperor to protect her thoroughly, and please forgive the minister for other things! ”

Jian Shuo on the side was anxious when he saw this, he thought that the emperor summoned Zhuang Shaoyou today to find a way to live for himself, but he didn't expect it to be like this! And such a good thing, Zhuang Shaoyou, this stunned young man, still doesn't appreciate it! It's really annoying to our family!

"General Zhuang, this is a great grace, you should accept it, but don't contradict the emperor again!"

Jian Shuo hurried to Zhuang Shaoyou's side and whispered a persuasion, in fact, all this is still for himself, the things entrusted by the emperor before his death must be very important, Jian Shuo also wants to do his best in the end, and show loyalty in front of Liu Hong for the last time! Remind Liu Hong not to forget about himself!

Liu Hong listened to Zhuang Shaoyou's explanation, but sighed: "I really can't understand Aiqing's heart, but it's okay, I didn't see the wrong person!" If it was someone else, it would definitely be a happy response, but I don't know what will happen when it really happens! I look at Aiqing as a person who re-promises, and since Aiqing has promised to protect her thoroughly, I will no longer force it! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou kowtowed again and said, "Thank you for your understanding!" ”

Liu Hong closed his eyes and stopped talking, the hall was silent for a long time, Jian Shuo couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of the old slave, you see ......"

Liu Hong opened his eyes again and said, "Aiqing, Jian Shuo has served me for ten years, and he is loyal, Aiqing can be closer to Jian Shuo!" These days, Jian Shuo is by my side and says a lot of good things about you! ”

Jian Shuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you for the emperor's grace!" The old slave and General Zhuang have always been harmonious, and they will work together to help the emperor ascend the throne, eliminate traitors, support the design, and prosper the Han Liu family! ”

After speaking, he also glanced at Zhuang Shaoyou, but Zhuang Shaoyou was just silent.

Liu Hong sighed: "That's it! Do whatever you want! The world of the Han Dynasty is exhausted! Whether it's the emperor or the emperor! It doesn't make a difference who ascends the throne or not, and in the end it's not the same way as I am, becoming someone else's puppet! If today's turmoil and the dynasty are sluggish, I'm afraid it's not as good as me! ”

Jian Shuo was shocked, the emperor actually said such a thing? Hurry up and persuade:

"Your Majesty! The Han Dynasty is prosperous, but the traitors have misled the country! Emperor Xiehuang is talented and courageous, and he will definitely be able to prosper the Han family in the future! The old slave is willing to uphold His Majesty's wishes, do his best, and assist the Emperor Kuang to support the community! ”

"It's their life! As the men of the Liu family, the Liu family has given them wealth and glory at the same time, but also given them responsibility! Once you have embarked on this path, you cannot look back! ”

Once you have embarked on this path, you cannot look back!

Liu Hong's words deeply shocked Zhuang Shaoyou's heart, and Jian Shuo wanted to say something, but Liu Hong didn't pay attention to it anymore, but said to Zhuang Shaoyou: "What does Aiqing think? ”

Zhuang Shaoyou was looking down and thinking about it just now, this is only a moment of effort, Liu Hong's words have deeply shocked Zhuang Shaoyou's heart, it turns out that no matter how mediocre the emperor is, he also has an ambition, no one is born willing to be a faint king, and these people are not useless as they say in the history books, but more of them are involuntary and born at the wrong time!

"The minister has no opinion!"

Of course, Zhuang Shaoyou is not without opinions, but it is not enough for outsiders, there are some things that everyone does not understand, but no one will expose them, just tacitly! As a minister of the Great Han, what else can you say? What's the point of saying those things that go against your heart at this time?

"Aiqing, don't forget what you promised me! Princess Wannian is at the Empress Dowager Dong in the palace! Step aside! Jian Shuo, the purpose! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou bowed again, in two months, this was the first time he bowed willingly, for no other reason, just for Liu Hong's dying words, so that Zhuang Shaoyou could see that even if he was the emperor of Liu Hong, he still had a good thought in his heart, and when he was dying, he still had a father's love for his daughter.

Zhuang Shaoyou got up and retreated outside the hall, Jian Shuo watched him leave with expectant eyes, and wanted to go over and nag him again, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, and this matter was also very important!

Zhuang Shaoyou said to the coachman: "Go to the palace!" ”

Sitting in the carriage when he came, Zhuang Shaoyou's face was full of confusion, this emperor is really not something ordinary people can be! There are too many involuntary bodies, too many constraints and concerns, and people who do not have great wisdom, great courage, and great determination cannot do it! And one more, it must be cold-blooded enough! Give up decisively when it's time to give up, the most taboo is emotional!

No wonder since ancient times, emperors have been so unkind, they have been emperors for a generation, and in the end they become a loner!

Zhuang Shaoyou was entangled, is this the way he wants to go? Do you really want to be a ruthless and unrighteous person?

Once you have embarked on this path, you cannot look back! Is that really the case?

Faced with this dilemma, what choice will Zhuang Shaoyou make?

A quarter of an hour later, the palace arrived.

Zhuang Shaoyou stepped forward to report his name and asked to see Princess Wannian!

In any case, let's see it first! If you promise someone else's thing, you must do it!

After waiting outside the palace gate for a long time, a little eunuch sent a message: "General Zhuang, the Queen Mother Yizhi: The matter of the princess of Wannian is not bothered by the general!" ”

When Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, he was a little helpless, he offended the Queen Mother a few days ago, but he didn't expect this old lady to go with him at this juncture!

Besides, how did the Queen Mother know about the princess of ten thousand years?

Zhuang Shaoyou hesitated again and again outside the palace gate, and he couldn't let go of the princess who couldn't see Wannian! The palace is the territory of the ten permanent servants, if the princess is allowed to be here, won't it become a weakness for himself?

Damn, it's so hard for a strange woman!

That's it, let's leave first, Princess Wannian doesn't involve the throne, so there won't be any danger for the time being!

Just as Zhuang Shaoyou was about to turn around and leave, another little eunuch hurriedly ran out of the palace gate, sweating profusely.

"General Zhuang, please stay! Zhang Weng is invited! ”

Zhang Weng is the head of the ten permanent servants, Zhang Rang!

Zhuang Shaoyou suddenly frowned, what is this dead eunuch looking for me? You almost killed me last time, and now you still have the face to see me?

But I'm used to it, these people are thicker than the other! For the sake of profit, you can do anything!
