"Why does Your Majesty conclude that this news is false?" Empress Zhang raised this question with Liu Yong on the morning of the next day.

Liu Yong smiled.

"Since Sima Yan is deeply loved by his father Sima Zhao, he must be very intelligent, and he must be strict in governing the army, how can a brave and resourceful general like Zhong Tian be so foolish in the barracks? Moreover, if Miss Qing'er alone wants to rescue people in the huge enemy camp, if she doesn't intentionally indulge in it, how can she succeed? ”

Empress Zhang thought about it and felt that Liu Yong's words were reasonable, so she nodded.

"In that case, what is Sima Yan's intention?"

"Meant to be tempting." Liu Yong said in a low voice, "The next news will be the trap that Sima Yan really wants to set for me. ”

"Your Majesty is really not an ordinary person." Empress Zhang praised sincerely.

Liu Yong stopped talking and fell into deep thought.

Empress Zhang looked at Liu Yong's contemplative appearance, worried that it would affect his thinking, so she slowly stood up and left.

As soon as Empress Zhang left, the eunuch who was sent out by Liu Yong to do things walked in.

The servant was ordered to search for Chen Ji and found that he would often go in and out of Empress Dowager Wu's Cining Palace, but Chen Ji placed Lin Yuniang, who had not escaped in time, in a private house, and would often visit him. The minions did not dare to alarm them, so they came to reply to His Majesty and ask for instructions on what to do. ”

Liu Yong looked at the eunuch, still not freed from his contemplation.

The eunuch waited for a while, but did not see Liu Yong answer, probably because he felt that such news did not arouse Liu Yong's interest, so he said, "The slave has another discovery recently, which is about Lord Deng Yi. ”

Two rays of light flashed in Liu Yong's eyes.

"Since Lord Deng Yi received His Majesty's holy decree to stop supervising the construction of the Shu Palace, which was forbidden by Sima and Confucianism, Lord Deng Yi has been staying at home, rarely going out, and it seems that he no longer wants to participate in anything. However, in recent days, the minion has suddenly noticed that he has changed, and some strangers often come and go to his mansion, and he often travels by car. The minions tried to follow him several times, but he threw them off. The eunuch said.

Liu Yong held the table in front of him with both hands, stood up, and kept staring at the eunuch.

The eunuch was a little nervous at the sight.

Liu Yong's hand suddenly slapped on the table.

"When I draw up the decree, you will bring people to go in person, and Xuan Deng Yi and Fei Gong will come to the Yixin Palace to see them, and they will say that I have important state affairs to discuss with them."

The eunuch didn't understand Liu Yong's intentions for a while.

Liu Yong walked down the steps, leaned over and whispered something in the eunuch's ear.

The eunuch immediately understood, gave a thumbs up, and then turned his head away.

After a full hour, Deng Yi and Fei Gong came to the Yixin Hall under the guidance of the eunuchs.

Since Liu Yong ordered to stop supervising the construction of the Shu Palace, the two of them have already had a sense of crisis that is about to come. Now, Cao Wei's army has been driven out of Chengdu City, although there is still the last glimmer of hope, but the two know that the sharp axe in the hands of this queen lord will fall on their heads at any time.

In order to save the lives of his family, Deng Yi made a few "friends" who had the same ideas as him, and had been plotting to help Sima Yan break the city. It's just that because the city gate is tightly guarded, a few people can't send the news out.

Liu Yong's sudden announcement made the two of them have a great fear.

"Wechen see Your Majesty."

Kneeling at the bottom of the steps, the two of them were like mice that had been caught by a cat, crouching in front of the sharp cat's claws, only shivering.

"The two adults are flat, sit down and speak." Liu Yong smiled.

A palace maid brought two chairs and placed them in front of them.

The two did not dare to sit down.

"A few days ago, I asked the two adults to suspend the construction of the Shu Palace, but it was really because Sima Yan suddenly attacked, and my imperial sister refused to give in, giving me an excellent opportunity to reverse. I don't need to say much about this, and the two adults must have figured it out. Liu Yong said.

"Your Majesty is wise, and Weichen is ashamed." Deng Yi said.

Liu Yong laughed.

"I want the two adults to come here, I really have important matters to discuss, and I hope you two can't hide it, even if you say it bluntly."

Deng Yi and Fei Gong exchanged glances.

"Your Majesty, please."

Liu Yong sighed lightly.

"Cao Wei is powerful, although I occasionally have small victories, but it is difficult to hold with it for a long time, my Shu Han will be owned by others sooner or later. I have no choice but to make peace with him, the former, I have formed a relationship with Sima Banru, this time, I want to share the Shu Han counties with Sima Yan, I am willing to give up the throne to his brother, I only want to be a free king, just ask him not to hurt the people of Shu. It's just that I don't know if Sima Yan can agree to this matter, I want you two to come here today, just to discuss this matter, I don't know what the two adults think? ”

Deng Yi and Fei Gong were stunned for a long time.

"Your Majesty is from the bottom of your heart?" After a long time, Fei Gong asked tentatively.

"How can I joke with such a big thing?"

"Your Majesty is really sage." Fei Gong was overjoyed, "This matter is excellent, it is really a perfect strategy, not only to protect the people of my city, but also to make Your Majesty worry-free for the rest of his life, and Weichen has no objection." ”

Liu Yong looked at Deng Yi.

Deng Yi was also peeking at Liu Yong, wondering in his heart whether Liu Yong's words were testing the two of them, or whether they were from the bottom of his heart.

"Lord Deng is silent, but do you think this matter is inappropriate?" Liu Yong asked.

Fei Gong pulled the corner of Deng Yi's clothes.

Deng Yi didn't dare to speak out easily, and after hesitating for a long time, he said in a slur manner, "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and Weichen really can't make up his mind now, and I ask Your Majesty to let Weichen think about it carefully after returning to the house." ”

"Lord Deng acted extremely decisively in the past, why is it so procrastinating today." Fei Gongyuan did not have Deng Yi's calmness and scheming, and urged, "Your Majesty is anxious to ask you and me to make up your mind, and Lord Deng can't shirk it." ”

"Yes, although Lord Deng said it bluntly, I will never blame it." Liu Yong also said.

Cold sweat flowed down Deng Yi's face.

"Forget it, don't embarrass Lord Deng anymore." Liu Yong seemed to be a little impatient, "I want you two to come here, and there is another thing, that is, I haven't been together with the ministers for many days, and I miss it very much, today I want you two to accompany the ministers to have a few drinks with me, this matter, presumably Lord Deng will not shirk it anymore, right?" ”

"Your Majesty values the old minister so much, and the old minister thanked Your Majesty on behalf of the ministers." Before Deng Yi could speak, Fei Gong had already said loudly.

Deng Yi was helpless, so he had to nod.

It didn't take long for the sumptuous wine and food to be placed in front of Deng Yi and Fei Gong respectively.

Liu Yong sat on a chair on the steps, raising his glass frequently.

Halfway through the drink, a man dressed as a eunuch suddenly ran in outside, leaning over and whispering in Liu Yong's ear.

"Lord Deng and Lord Fei are both my Shuzhong humerus, so you don't have to be so mysterious, just report it." Liu Yong took advantage of the wine and said loudly to the eunuch.

"Yes." The eunuch glanced at Deng Yi and Fei Gong, and replied, "The servant asked the Internal Affairs Office to draft a letter in accordance with the order, and it has now been written, and I also ask Your Majesty to read it." ”

Liu Yong nodded, but did not accept the letter handed by the eunuch, but pointed at Deng Yi and Fei Gong with his hand.

"I've already told the two of you about this, so I'll ask the two of them to take a look at it first."

"This ......," the eunuch hesitated.

Liu Yong frowned.

The eunuch was a little startled, didn't dare to say anything, ran down the steps, and handed more than a dozen bamboo slips that had been tied up to Deng Yi's hands.
