Text Season 8: Danger _ "Phantom Spear (8)" Chapter 44: The golden cicada sheds its shell

Outside the imperial study, weapons intersect and fight constantly. In the imperial study, the breath is peaceful, and the silence is still there. Liu Shichen stepped forward slowly, the thick bead curtain covered the situation inside, he was cautious, lest there be an ambush knife and axeman, he looked left and right, and found that there was nothing unusual, before he spoke: "Weichen Liu Shichen, see the emperor." At this moment, he still deliberately reserved his ambition and said hypocritically.

Although the words came out, there was no response from them. Liu Shichen wondered, and said in his heart: Isn't it here? No way, Liao Pan has already sent people to keep a close eye on him, if the emperor comes out, he will never be ignored by them.

"Long live my lord, Weichen has something important to report to you!" Although Liu Shichen was respectful, his body was already standing straight, and he did not do any courtesy. After a while, a voice came from behind the bead curtain: "It turned out to be Liu Aiqing, you came to the imperial study late at night and had a fight with the imperial guards, but why?"

Although Liu Shichen heard this voice familiar, but he didn't feel like the emperor's voice, he had doubts in his heart, he thought that the emperor was sick, and his voice changed a little, and he didn't have time to think about it at this moment, so he continued: "Your Majesty, the imperial guards outside the door are plotting to rebel and want to assassinate the emperor. ”

"Presumptuous! The imperial guards are loyal people personally selected by me, how could they plot a rebellion? Isn't this a thief and a thief?" the emperor asked.

"Weichen didn't dare, Weichen got the news and knew that Hong Shun, the deputy commander of the imperial guard, was secretly hiding his rebellion, so he braved the snowstorm and gave up his life to enter the palace to escort him. Weichen's hard work, the emperor has to understand. Liu Shichen's words were high-sounding.

"I know who you are. If you really have the heart to protect you, then I am no longer in danger at the moment, so quickly retreat. The emperor said slightly angrily.

"Your Majesty, you are sick, and you need to rest a lot. If this situation continues, I am afraid that you will not be able to support the dragon and shake the lifeblood of the country. Liu Shichen threw out these foreshadowing words.

"I naturally know how my dragon body is, not to mention that there is a doctor in the palace, so I don't need to worry about Aiqing. The emperor began to walk two steps, and then said: "It's so noisy outside, let them stop!"

Also, the emperor's illness, I have heard Imperial Physician Lu mention that he urgently needs a quiet and warm place to recuperate for a few years before he can recover. Weichen is deeply favored by the emperor, how can he sit idly by. Weichen Tan heard that the small town in the south of the Yangtze River has a suitable climate and is like spring all year round, which is very suitable for resting the dragon body. Liu Shichen has already picked out the words very clearly.

"Bold Liu Shichen, do you know that as soon as these words come out, I can punish you for capital crimes and exterminate your nine clans?" The emperor was already furious.

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, I am now giving you a way to live, so I persuaded you so hard. Since you toast and don't eat and drink, there will naturally be a second way for you to choose. However, this road is likely to be the point of no return, I wonder if the emperor dares to take it?" Liu Shichen said in an accentuated tone.

"Liu Shichen, Liu Shichen, are you finally willing to show your fox tail?" the emperor asked deliberately.

Liu Shichen seemed to have lost his patience, now that the words had been spoken, he didn't have any worries, pressing step by step, and said as he walked: "Let me tell you the truth, Your Majesty, my men and horses have surrounded the palace, even if the Imperial Forest Army is there, but it is less than 3,000, how can you resist my 5,000 soldiers?" Also, the talisman of the generals of the Quartet is already in my hands, and the generals are also rushing to the capital, the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the central government are all greedy for life and afraid of death, today you and I are in a duel, they will definitely not interfere, even if there are a few people who don't know each other, I will kill a hundred people, they are naturally afraid and dare not say more. You don't have any chance of winning anymore, if you know the current affairs, I can still see that you promoted me exceptionally back then, so that you can spend your old age in peace. If you don't know how to lift up, then tonight is your time of death. When the time comes, I will make a decree on the throne and announce to the world that I can still sit on this throne. ”

"It's really a foolproof strategy, Liu Shichen! However, it's a pity!" The emperor also walked behind the bead curtain, and Liu Shichen also walked to the front of the bead curtain, and his doubts arose, he quickly opened the bead curtain, and the person he saw was not the emperor!

"Liu Shichen, you traitorous traitor who bullied the king, what else do you have to say now?" asked the fake emperor verifying his words.

"Hmph, it's amazing, but I underestimated the Dog Emperor and you. When did you come out? It turns out that the prison in the capital can also be opened?" Obviously, Liu Shichen knew the person in front of him.

"I, I've been a dead person for a long time, this time I can be for the emperor and share the worries of the society, although I have no regrets in death. But you, even if you succeed tonight, you can't be the emperor, because the real emperor has already left the palace to transfer troops and generals, and he is about to turn defeat into victory. The false emperor said in a loud voice.

Liu Shichen shrugged his shoulders, shook his head slightly, and sneered: "Fang Yan, Fang Yan, I see that you are still not sober." has been locked up in the prison for so many days, I'm afraid you are stupid. What can the golden cicada do when it comes out of its shell? Can it hinder my plan to map the world? Joke!" "In place of the emperor, the person waiting for Liu Shichen is Fang Xinyao's father, Fang Yan.

"Liu Shichen, you are really too bold to do such an arrogant thing, no one who has conspired against the ancients can have a good end, and you are naturally no exception. Fang Yan said sarcastically.

"You want to provoke me with just a few words? Hehe, you underestimate me. Fang Yan, we have known each other for more than 20 years, and I knew that you were not a simple person, and I deliberately impeached and transferred you from the capital. Moreover, if you stay for more than ten years, you will never be given a chance to be promoted. I didn't expect that you would come to play and pay a sum to me? I underestimated you!" Liu Shichen explained the reason for the incident.

"Prime Minister Liu, you are jealous and jealous, so naturally you can't tolerate me. You can make me lose the opportunity to return to the capital again and be an official in the court forever, but you can't stop me from going to the court and telling you about your crimes. Fang Yan's tone also began to become intense.

"But have you forgotten that you are a prisoner and I am a guest?" Liu Shichen's tone first suppressed and then raised, and his eyes became fierce.

"Yes, your career is indeed proud, so proud that you think you can change your destiny. You can indeed fabricate a lot of trumped-up charges, let the officials send the documents to the subordinates, and send your son-in-law to come to my house to take people in person, and cause my family to be ruined. Fang Yan did not show weakness.

All of a sudden, the two of them were like needles facing each other, although there was no killing in the rivers and lakes, but they were already better than the weapons outside.

"Hehe, it's up to you. You and I have known each other for so many years, but what kind of person you are, am I still not clear? You have deceived the Dog Emperor and other people, but you cannot deceive me! Fang Yan, you should not be coy here and pretend to be righteous about to sacrifice your life for the country. I tell you, the more you are like this, the less I will kill you, I will let you live well, and then watch how I ascend the throne and rule the world. And you can only live better than die, and spend your whole life in pain!" Liu Shichen said very seriously.

"The ancients said: 'Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help', you will not end well after all!" Fang Yan sneered.

Liu Shichen went up and gave Fang Yan a slap, Fang Yan didn't expect Liu Shichen to make a sudden move, and he was a little dizzy when he was beaten at the moment. Liu Shichen said fiercely: "Fang Yan, let me tell you, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, that's a later story." The emperor of the ancients, which one did not rely on reckless military force to ascend the throne before ascending the throne? This is true of the First Emperor, the Han Gaozu, and the Guangwu Emperor. From this point of view, those who achieve great things rely on comprehensive strategy and military power, you pedantic nerd, it is a waste of words to talk to you here. "Although Liu Shichen was very satisfied with his careful plan, after all, the emperor escaped beyond his expectations, and this was a big deal. However, he also believed that his son Liu Ruohan would let him personally supervise the siege of the city.

Fang Yan's cheeks began to swell slightly, and he ninja was in pain, and said, "You don't know what the world is, you can kill me, or even torture me." But I still look down on you, because you only have ambition, not ambition. ”

Liu Shichen kicked Fang Yan again, and said sharply: "I just asked you to tell me where the Dog Emperor went, not to let you, a dog with a broken backbone, bark wildly here." ”

"Even if you put a knife on my Yan's neck, I won't say a word!" Fang Yan stood up again, his right hand seemed to be groping for something around his waist......
