Qin Chuan put down the teacup and said with deep emotion: "The traitorous ministers are in charge, the society is collapsing, and the people are struggling to make a living, this is the fault of my father, but it is not the fault he wants to see." ”

"Over the years, my father's health has been poor, and the court has been controlled by the queen and Zhou Dewei, who have filled their pockets and regarded the court as their own back garden, all of which are in the eyes of Lonely."

"Gong Liu, the former Lone was an idle person, but don't think that Lone doesn't care about the affairs of the court at all. Lone is just hindered by the suppression of Zhou Dewei and the queen, and he reins in his edge, which is actually the same as if you want to protect yourself. But in the face of the great rights and wrongs of the country, Lone will not retreat. ”

Loaded?

Liu Zhongping didn't think about this.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, who didn't know that Qin Chuan was a drunken man and was not worthy of being a prince at all.

But if all this is all pretended by him, then it is a different matter.

Taking a sip of tea, Liu Zhongping said, "Your Highness, if you can ascend the throne, how will you deal with Zhou Dewei?" And how can I reorganize the dynasty and push my Great Xia to prosperity? ”

"Don't be angry if you say it."

"The minister will not be angry."

"Then Gu will tell you that Gu Lai wants to use you and Zhou Dewei to fight against each other, promote you as the right prime minister, and make Zhou Dewei unable to dominate the dynasty alone. Subsequently, little by little, Lone will eradicate all of Zhou Dewei's forces, and Lone will become a son of heaven who is not at the mercy of others. As for the prosperity of the country, Lone needs a pro-virtuous minister and a distant villain, and the virtuous minister is you Liu Gong. ”

Virtuous Minister...... The weight of these two words is so heavy, Liu Zhongping couldn't bear it for a while.

When it comes to 'utilization', it is not difficult for him to guess, but it is indeed impressive to be able to say it directly like His Royal Highness Qin Chuan, without shying away from it.

Left and right containment, this is already the art of the emperor.

"Lord Liu, after more than 200 years of Great Xia, internal and external troubles, all the vassal states are eyeing each other, and they all want to invade my Great Xia to get a piece of the pie, at this time, the court must not be chaotic."

"That Zhou Dewei was a beggar for peace, during the reign of his father, he fought against other countries several times, and each time it was Zhou Dewei's peace proposition, which led to my Great Xia cession of land and compensation. If the country is controlled by someone like him, in less than twenty years, I am afraid that there will be not much left in my Great Xia domain. ”

"So, I beg Lord Liu to help the Qin family."

Beg?!

Liu Zhongping was flattered, and hurriedly kowtowed, not daring to look directly: "Your Highness, how can you be worthy of your words!" The minister is a wise man who protects himself, the minister deserves to die, and the minister is ashamed of the cultivation of the first emperor! His Royal Highness's words made the ministers extremely admired, and in the future, if His Royal Highness is driven, the ministers will be the work of dogs and horses! In order to repay the kindness of the emperor and His Royal Highness! ”

In a trance, Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart fell.

Wooing people, playing psychology, he is playing on the spot, but what he says is also the truth.

He understood that Liu Zhongping was a loyal minister, but he was not sure who he should support, and what he said just now was a lever, which could be regarded as reassuring Liu Zhongping.

Qin Chuan helped him up and squeezed his arm: "Gong Liu, Lone has entrusted his net worth and life, as well as the rivers and mountains of Great Xia, to you, don't bear Lone." ”

Listening to Qin Chuan's words and looking at his resolute eyes, Liu Zhongping was already enthusiastic.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty! Never go back, the body of the minister is the body of His Royal Highness! ”

The reason why he came to Liu Zhongping is not only that he is in charge of the household department and has many protégés and former officials, but more importantly, Liu Zhongping's nephew Liu Fang is currently the governor of Jiumen, which is the most important position in the capital.

Zhou Dewei controlled hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, but he could not transfer hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from all over the country into the capital in a short period of time.

In this way, the Admiral of the Nine Gates is the most important guard in the capital.

Whoever controls this position can restrain other people and horses, and can also prevent external soldiers and horses from entering Beijing.

Liu Zhongping wiped his tears: "Your Highness, Zhou Dewei will definitely be in trouble tomorrow, his actions today are really helpless." This person is cunning and changeable, with the minister's understanding of him, the first emperor is in mourning, and he will definitely have another turmoil. ”

"Liu Fang can solve this matter."

The two of them thought of going together.

He asked the housekeeper to hurry up and call Liu Fang over, tonight, nothing can be sloppy, it must be decided before dawn, otherwise as soon as the morning dawns, it will be unknown who will kill the deer.

Perhaps, at this moment, that Zhou Dewei was conspiring with the military department Shangshu.

After a long time, Liu Fang came.

"Uncle...... This? Isn't this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”

"I haven't come to see His Highness yet, there are no rules."

Liu Fang knelt at the door and did not dare to approach, this is the etiquette between the monarch and the minister.

"The last general, Liu Fang, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"No need to be polite, get up."

Liu Zhongping said: "Fang'er, during the great funeral of the first emperor, the safety of the capital is very important, especially the safety of His Highness, you have 30,000 serious illnesses, and the safety of the palace and His Highness, I will hand it over to you." Early tomorrow morning, you will surround the palace with 10,000 horses, and 5,000 men and horses will enter the palace to protect the safety of His Highness. ”

“……”

"The first emperor has passed the throne to His Royal Highness Qin Chuan, he is already the lord of the world, only missing an enthronement ceremony, your family and personal honor and disgrace, and even your lifelong future, are all in your thoughts, you don't choose the wrong direction."

Liu Fang didn't expect that his uncle came to him in the middle of the night to talk about it, and suddenly, he was already sweating like rain.

He didn't know how to respond to his uncle's words, because just before he came here, Zhou Dewei personally went to him and promised him a lot of benefits, but he only let him stay still.

"Uncle ......"

Liu Zhongping noticed something unusual, and frowned: "What's the matter?" Didn't my uncle's words work? Doesn't even the edict of the first emperor work? Are you planning to follow Zhou Dewei to make a mess and leave a lasting infamy? ”

"Uncle, I ......"

"Remember! You are a descendant of the Liu family, if you rebel and help the abuse, your ancestors will not spare you! ”

The biggest advantage of Liu Fang, the commander of the Nine Gates, is his filial piety, when he was five years old, his father died in battle, and he was raised by his uncle, and it was Liu Zhongping's recommendation that he got the position of the Governor of the Nine Gates.

This kind of kindness will never be repaid.

After struggling for a moment, he said: "Uncle, an hour ago, Zhou Dewei came to find his nephew, and he asked his nephew to stand still, and promised...... promised to promote his nephew to be a general. ”

"! Zhou Dewei has three sons, two of whom serve in the army and have the position of general, he will leave it to you?! He's using you temporarily, can't you see it?! If you refuse to assist His Royal Highness Qin Chuan, I will not have you as a nephew, and from now on, the Liu family will not have descendants like you! ”
