Chapter Fifty-Seven: Lian Zhan
Liu Mu's face was a little ugly, and he tried his best to appease Chu Sheng's emotions, and after seeing that he was a little more stable, he explained to him again: "Great Prince, this matter has been planned to be foolproof. But unexpectedly, in the end, they actually ran into the Anguo Mansion, and the people we sent out were all repelled by the guards in the Anguo Mansion. ”
Chu Sheng frowned, and said angrily: "Useless things, who are you looking for? You can't even beat a few guards in the Anguo Mansion?"
Liu Mu smiled bitterly, and replied a little helplessly: "The eldest prince, in order not to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suspect us, I didn't dare to send our people. These Xiongnu death row prisoners were all transferred from various places in the next period, and it was not easy to find these people. ”
Hearing him say this, Chu Sheng gradually calmed down.
Especially after seeing a trace of loss flashing on Liu Mu's face, he immediately changed his face again, and hurriedly reassured: "Mr. Liu, the prince was anxious for a while, and his words were a little conflicting, and I ask Mr. Liu to forgive me." ”
Liu Mu hurriedly waved his hand: "The eldest prince is serious, this time his subordinates are not doing well, and I also ask the eldest prince to atone for his crimes, and then give his subordinates a chance to make meritorious contributions." ”
Mr. Liu rest assured, this opportunity is there. As long as Mr. Liu can help the prince, successfully overthrow the crown prince, and help the prince to sit on the throne of the prince, in the future, the prince will become the emperor of Chu, and he will definitely be crowned as a marquis. ”
"Then the subordinates thanked the eldest prince in advance. Liu Mu's face was full of joy, and he quickly replied.
As the first strategist in front of the eldest prince, as long as he successfully assists Chu Sheng to become the emperor of Chu, he will naturally be indispensable in the future.
After laughing, Chu Sheng turned to the topic again and asked him: "Mr. Liu, although the assassination of the crown prince tonight failed, it is absolutely impossible to let His Royal Highness the crown prince find out about us." Have you taken care of the rest of the tail?"
Liu Mu nodded confidently: "Please rest assured, the eldest prince, his subordinates have never been involved in this matter." These assassins of the crown prince are also the key prisoners on death row who infiltrated our Chu State by the Huns, and if they want to investigate, they will only find the bodies of some petty officials from other places, and they will never find our bodies. ”
Chu Sheng nodded with a smile, and patted his chest fearfully: "That's good, that's good." ”
Taking advantage of Chu Sheng's better mood, Liu Mu hurriedly offered him another suggestion, and said: "The eldest prince, although we failed to succeed in the assassination this time, we can't continue to let the prince be so showy, otherwise, those who have fallen to the eldest prince early may switch to the prince's disciple." ”
Chu Sheng nodded heavily, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes: "Mr. said this, is there already any countermeasure?"
"Sharing worries for the eldest prince is a matter of subordinate. The subordinates have already secretly contacted several ministers, and they have long been resentful of His Royal Highness the Prince's behavior, and they are quite dissatisfied with His Royal Highness's recent behavior. Therefore, the subordinates have already discussed with them, and after a few days, they will jointly write a letter to His Majesty about the prince's shameful behavior. ”
Liu Mu secretly observed Chu Sheng's face for a moment, and then continued: "Even if we can't bring down the prince in one fell swoop based on this matter alone, we have to kill his sharp spirit, and we can't let him continue to be so showy." ”
Chu Sheng bowed silently: "It's still Mr. thoughtful, then Mr. will let them go to the prince tomorrow, so that he is tired of dealing with other things, and he has no heart to investigate the assassination again." ”
Who knows, when Liu Mu heard this, he hurriedly shook his head: "This matter must not be allowed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just been assassinated tonight, and the next day we will let people visit the Prince in the court." Doesn't this just confirm that we are thieves with a weak heart? Therefore, we have to wait a few days for the matter of joining the prince. ”
Chu Sheng nodded in agreement, and then patted him on the shoulder, "Since Mr. has already planned it, then leave this matter to Mr. But Mr. has to remember one sentence, don't seek merit but seek no fault, even if we can't win the prince, we must not get into trouble." ”
"The subordinate understood, and the subordinate retired first. ”
The eldest prince Chu Sheng shook his hand, Liu Mu bowed to him, and then slowly withdrew from the hall.
"Hmph, Chu Mo, let's see. ”
Chu Sheng clenched his fists, and in his heart, he was indignant.
In the blink of an eye, it's the next day.
Although Chu Mo found an excuse and only let Qin Lang and Zhao Ziyun report the assassination to the Kyoto Praetorian Guards, therefore, few people in Kyoto knew that the real assassin was His Royal Highness the Prince.
However, the Huns assassinated the sons of the Marquis of Yong'an and the Duke of Zhao in Kyoto, and so many Hun killers appeared in Kyoto at once, which also caused a sensation throughout Kyoto.
Although this Qin Lang is the second son of the Marquis of Yong'an and a concubine, after learning of this, Qin Meng, the Marquis of Yong'an, and Zhao Tingjun, the Duke of Zhao, made a statement to the Emperor of Chu in the early court, asking the Emperor of Chu to order a thorough investigation of the matter.
But how can we get a result in two or three days after investigating this matter?
Gradually, the sensation caused by this incident quickly subsided, and after only a few days, not many people in Kyoto remembered it.
In the past few days, Chu Mo has been staying in the prince's mansion, in addition to drinking all kinds of big tonic every day, he is practicing martial arts day and night, and every time he is tired and paralyzed, he is willing to stop and rest.
He has to take advantage of the present to constantly break through himself, and his martial arts can be rapidly improved in a short period of time.
Sweat a little more now, and you'll be able to bleed a little less later.
But he didn't expect that just as he was trying to raise funds for disaster relief while arranging a workshop to build ordnance for Zhao Guo, someone began to make his small report behind his back.
On this day, after the early dynasty dispersed, the three scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion did not leave in a hurry.
Instead, when everyone else was gone, he secretly went to the imperial study and met Chu Yunxiu, the emperor of Chu.
In the imperial study, Chu Yunxiu listened to the words of the three of them, and his face suddenly turned bad.
It's not that the three of them are blowing the wind in their ears, which makes Chu Emperor Chu Yunxiu really angry with Chu Mo.
Instead, he saw that the three scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion had joined forces to participate in the performance, and he couldn't help but worry about Chu Mo in his heart.
Chu Mo has made a lot of contributions to the Chu State these days, and Chu Emperor Chu Yunxiu has always kept it in his heart. How could they be angry at Chu Mo just because these people said a few words?
But these three people entered the speech, and they said it conclusively, all for the sake of the royal family of Chu State.
Chu Yunxiu had no choice but to decide that the trouble that Chu Mo had caused himself would be handled by himself. immediately sent someone to the prince's mansion and asked Chu Mo to come to the imperial study immediately.
In the prince's mansion, Chu Mo was practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
Suddenly, I saw a guard in the palace hurriedly walking over with Hong Sifeng's father-in-law, and as soon as Gonggong Hong saw him, he immediately stepped forward and said: "Oh, my Royal Highness the Prince, little ancestor! How can you still have the leisure to practice martial arts here? Everyone else poked your backbone behind your back, and they all poked your majesty. ”
"Grandpa Hong, what happened, you are so anxious that you are sweating profusely. ”
Chu Mo smiled at him, and then instructed the person next to him, "Why don't you have any eyesight?"
