The excitement of the rivers and lakes has not completely subsided, and there have been earth-shattering waves in the court, and the affairs of the rivers and lakes are just the ups and downs of the emotions of the people in the rivers and lakes, and the news that almost exploded in the court is undoubtedly the world's affairs.

Today's early court is undoubtedly earlier than in the past, and the ministers who have already hurried to come are outside the main hall early, and the men who should be more worried at the moment of urgency have not gone to court for a long time.

When the officials were impatient and were about to break in, the time of the court came quietly, and the wooden door carved from mahogany slowly opened, and the civil and military officials hurriedly entered.

Not long after, the Ninety-Five Lord, who was belatedly coming, slowly sat on the dragon chair, looked at the people who were already eager to try, and the words were about to blurt out, and nodded to the old eunuch beside him.

After Liu Chen got the signal, he shouted in a sharp and feminine voice: "There is a book to participate, but there is no book to retreat." ”

How could the already anxious minister calm down, and the officials with slightly higher official ranks stepped forward to meet him.

"Your Majesty, there is movement in the northwest today, and Chu Lian, the king of the northwest, secretly gathered soldiers and horses, intending to raise troops to rebel. ”

Chu Quan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, did not have a dragon's anger or the uneasiness of the throne, but just said lightly: "I know." ”

A simple sentence blocked the minister who met him, and he didn't know how to open his mouth for a long time, so he could only sigh secretly and return to his original position.

"Your Majesty, the king of the northwest has gathered about 100,000 soldiers and horses, and all kinds of siege equipment are available, and there are more than 10,000 cavalry wrapped in armor alone. ”

"Your Majesty, Xiping and Luoyang are not far apart, if you hurry up and hurry overnight, I am afraid that it will hit Luoyang City in half a month. ”

"I hope that Your Majesty will think twice as soon as possible, and block the rebellious ministers and thieves outside Luoyang City as soon as possible. ”

The ministers who never met on weekdays all spoke at this time, and it can be seen that the Northwest King is really in the city, and there is more than one person who has lost his interests and status, and there are still a lot of moths involved.

Chu Quan waved his hand, stopped the slightest non-stop speech, and looked at the ministers with one hand on his cheek and said, "What is the best way to solve the urgent need at the moment." ”

"I hope that Your Majesty will recruit back the eldest prince as soon as possible, and let him lead his troops north to block the thieves, and the great prince will definitely calm down the waves. ”

Chu Quan didn't speak, and Liu Chen on the side looked a little uncomfortable, and glanced at the second prince who was also like this.

The second prince comprehended, bent down and said respectfully: "Father, the eldest brother is far away in the border fortress, if he leads the troops back, he will definitely be tired all the way, if the gains of facing the enemy outweigh the losses, the son is willing to go out for the second brother to stop the rebels from going north, and annihilate the rebellious ministers and thieves in one fell swoop." ”

The ministers who spoke before were not good to speak again, but now the contest between the princes has started a fire in private.

Chu Quan didn't speak, looked at the civil and military officials again, and continued to ask, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man in armor strode to the center, raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I think the three princes can serve as the representatives of this crusade against the rebels, and they all know that the three princes are extremely intelligent, and they will definitely be able to annihilate the army with strange tricks." ”

After hearing this, Chu Quan immediately laughed: "The third child is indeed smart, but he is not interested in this, I am afraid that he is still studying how to become an immortal at this time, but it is a pity that it is far worse than his two diligent brothers." ”

Some people with brains can hear the meaning of the words, and it is true that the indisputable three princes are indeed a little far behind the other two princes. And this is far from the mind, just inserted in the mind, everyone knows that the three princes like to cultivate immortals, and where did they get the kung fu to be the emperor.

The court gradually quieted down, and after the various representative forces spoke one after another, the early dynasty was already coming to an end, and it was only from the rebellion to the throne.

I am afraid that there are only a few people who take the king of the northwest seriously, and the rest of them are all the ones who followed the rebellion of the king of the northwest and admired the future emperor candidate in their eyes.

"Okay, let's retreat, I still need to reconsider this matter with the national teacher. ”

Obviously, the excuse that the national teacher has been moved out is enough to shut up the civil and military officials, and after the old eunuch "retreated from the dynasty", the early dynasty also ended in "Long live my emperor".

The civil and military officials came and went quickly, the stone dragon surrounded the long stone ladder, and the civil and military officials stepped on the stone slab and gradually left.

The second prince never left, and was still waiting outside the door of the main hall, as if waiting for news.

Not long after, the belated old eunuch appeared in the sight of the second prince.

"Second prince, I've kept you waiting. Liu Chen said apologetically.

The second prince, Chu Nanshan, obviously didn't care, but it happened suddenly, and some questions urgently needed answers.

"Gonggong Liu, I don't know if the evidence entrusted to you last time was presented to my father?"

Although there was no mention of evidence in the words, how could Liu Chen, who had already planned something, not know.

"Second prince, I have already handed in that evidence. ”

"What did Father say?" Chu Nanshan said eagerly.

The old eunuch Liu Chen shook his head: "Your Majesty didn't say a word after reading it, as if he hadn't heard it." ”

Chu Nanshan looked embarrassed, he didn't expect that the evidence he had worked so hard to get didn't exist at all in the eyes of his father, and this was tantamount to saying that he wouldn't care about how he fought with his eldest brother.

"Gonggong Liu, I have an opinion on the news of the rebellion of the king of the northwest. ”

Liu Chen still shook his head.

"Your Majesty seems to have a countermeasure, but even I, an old slave who has been with me for many years, can't see through anything, and Your Majesty has moved out of the Lonely Country Division, so I think there must be a countermeasure. ”

The second prince knew that Gu Chunqiu, the man known as the man in troubled times, had also tried to win him over, but the result was naturally unsatisfactory, and no one could guess the old fox's thoughts.

"In this case, we can only take one step at a time. Chu Nanshan said wistfully.

Now the situation is quite balanced, and the three princes are still in a delicate relationship of balance, as for who will break the balance first, it is unknown.

Liu Chen nodded, he also knew the current situation, the king of the northwest rebelled, which obviously accelerated the evolution of the breakthrough as today, as for the future of the world, it is really hard to say.

......

In the palace of the Hanzhong region, a large area of pond water, instigated by the cold winter, formed a thick layer of hard ice.

Chu Ran, who was rickety, stood on the ice, and if the time was calculated, he had been standing for half an hour.

It didn't take long for a voice to come from behind him, and a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar stood behind the rickety man and said slowly, "You know everything?"

Chu Ran looked back at Song Xianshu, who was both his own bag and his brother-in-law, and nodded.

"What do you think?" Although Chu Ran already had an answer in his heart, he still asked.

"Kill yourself!" Song Xianshu's words were very short, short enough to hit the center of Chu Ran's thoughts.

Chu Ran, who sighed, continued to admire the ice color, and after a long time, he slowly said: "Chu Lian has endured it all his life, knowing that he is about to come out, why rush for a while." ”

Song Xianshu obviously didn't want to answer this question, but changed his mouth and said, "Do you know the famous young man in the rivers and lakes some time ago?"

Chu Ran nodded.

"What does Xiao Fan's master have to do with this person?" Song Xianshu then asked.

"I didn't expect that I still couldn't hide your eyes, Brother Wu is this person's junior brother. ”

Song Xianshu guessed the relationship between Wu Bufan and the young man named Li Chenfeng on the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect it to be wrong, and it was wrong in terms of age.

"You put everything on this young man, are you really not afraid of jumping out of the coffin after death?"

Chu Ran smiled and asked rhetorically, "Then do you think this person is reliable?"

Song Xianshu, who had been silent for a long time, obviously had no answer, and this question had already stumped him.

"How can you be sure that he will help you, is it because his senior brother is Wu Bufan, and because Wu Bufan is Xiaofan's master?"

Hanzhong Wang Churan struggled to straighten his waist, but despite this, he was still hunched obviously, and the cold wind blew the old man's clothes.

"Because he gave me a promise!"

Obviously, Song Xianshu, who didn't think it was reliable for promising these things, was a little disdainful.

"Why don't we make a bet? bet on whether he will fulfill his promise and help my Chu family. ”

"Bet on what?"

"If you win, you can do whatever you want, if you lose, call me brother-in-law. ”

"Okay, I'm betting on this!"

The battle between the two men's wills, no matter how you look at this bet, it's a bit heavy!
