The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, it is me who turns back

11.

Three days passed quickly, and early in the morning, a long dragon formed a mighty line up and down the palace, traveling from the city to the imperial mausoleum on the outskirts of the city.

Chen Kuang was riding a dragon chariot and was guarded by the guards, while the crown prince and the eighth prince stood in front of him on horseback.At the front of the procession, white sails were hoisted, and sixteen eunuchs in mourning clothes were carrying a wooden coffin, throwing a string of paper money as they walked.

"Sixth prince, the emperor has already arrived in the western suburbs, and he will enter the imperial mausoleum within a stick of incense."

Chen Puyu changed into a military uniform, took a long sword from his subordinates, and tied it solemnly around his waist: "Okay, follow the plan."

Gu Zhizhou and Fu Ziqiu sat alone, with no expression on their faces.Especially Fu Ziqiu, who looked like he had nothing to do with himself, huddled lazily in the chair, propping his forehead with two slender fingers.

Chen Puyu turned to them: "Regardless of success or failure today, Puyu would like to thank you two for saving my life. If I really die here, the teacher's blood hatred will be entrusted to you two." The two made a royal gift.

After all, he was the person in charge, so Chen Puyu didn't stay for long.After he left, only Gu Zhizhou and Fu Ziqiu were left in the hall.

The two hadn't seen much since their breakup that morning.Gu Zhizhou looked at Yan Yun every day and forced him to share the same bed with him.

They tacitly avoided each other, and neither of them said a word.

Gu Zhizhou glanced at Fu Ziqiu coldly, and walked out indifferently.

After a stick of incense, Chen Kuang and his party finally arrived at the imperial tomb.

Liang Fengsheng, an official stationed here, and Wu Bang, the commander of the army, came out to greet them in person, and a group of well-trained soldiers lined up in formation, looking very mighty.

Li Gu turned his head slightly and looked at Chen Liangyu.The latter immediately understood, immediately recruited his subordinates, and whispered something.

Chen Kuang is old, and after being frightened by ghosts, he is even weaker. The sudden loss of his son made his already overwhelmed health take a turn for the worse.Therefore, Chen Kuang came to the imperial mausoleum to bury Chen Puyu on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was to sacrifice to the sky and bless him with great blessings.

Chen Puyu didn't know if his father felt sorry for his passing, if he would recall how regretful he was for such a son in Midnight Dream, or if he regretted the cold treatment all these years.

But he understood that the purpose of his father's coming here today was not to arrange his funeral, what he wanted was peace of mind, and more importantly, to seek blessings for himself.

The royal blood relationship is weak, and the biological father and son are no more than that.

Standing under a high wall behind the imperial mausoleum, Chen Puyu listened to the eunuch reading out a series of titles and posthumous titles bestowed on him by his father, and heard his father's concubines who had never met him cry bitterly for him. Raising it crookedly, it can't be described as joy or sorrow, but a deep sense of ridicule and powerlessness.

The ceremony was carried out step by step. After the burial, Chen Kuang was supported by the eunuchs to go to the mausoleum temple to offer incense to heaven.

Chen Liangyu covered her voice and asked, with anxiety hidden between her brows: "Have you found it?"

The subordinate shook his head: "Little prince, I have searched everywhere, but there is no sign of the sixth prince, and neither of those two people."

"Keep looking, they must be hiding here!"

Chen Kuang's face was pale, and he walked tremblingly to the front, took the incense candle handed by the waiter and inserted it into the ashes, and put his palms together on his forehead.Emerald green fingers were worn on his skinny fingers, and the wide bright yellow dragon robe made him look extremely thin.

This is an old man who is dying no matter how he looks at it, but he is so conceited, he doesn't believe in fate, and he can't help it.

"Heaven is above." Chen Kuang's voice was not loud, even a little trembling, full of vicissitudes: "God bless me in great danger, the prosperous world is peaceful, and the people are safe and peaceful."

After finishing speaking, Chen Kuang put down his hands, turned around slowly, his eyes wandered from the two sons standing in the front, and then turned to Li Gu and other ministers behind.

No matter how long he has left, how long he can sit on the throne, there are some things that should be prepared in advance.

"I have eight sons, and now only the crown prince and the eighth son are left." Chen Kuang sighed: "When the third and sixth sons were here, I always wanted to wait a little longer, and when they were older, I would let go of the eldest son." Yu handed over to a few children. They are brothers, no matter who sits on the throne, the rest should do their best to help, and I was happy at that time, and went to another palace to enjoy my family."

Chen Kuang paused, his face was slightly cold, and the majesty of the emperor was fully displayed: "It's my blessings, and white-haired people give black-haired people."

All the ministers knelt down and kowtowed, shouting: "The emperor's blessings are as good as the sky!"

Chen Kuang raised his hand to stop, took a breath and continued, "The situation is much better now than before, but I'm still worried. Let's make some arrangements in front of our ancestors today."

The accompanying eunuch presented an imperial edict with both hands, Chen Kuang opened it, and read: "From now on, Zhang Tingwei will be granted the title of Grand Tutor, and Zhao Ke will act as the servant of Zhongshu to assist the prime minister and Doctor Yushi in discussing court affairs."

The two people who were entrusted came forward to receive the decree. Li Gu stood still in the center of the ministers, but his eyes became colder.

He subconsciously looked at Chen Liangyu, and nodded to him calmly.

Chen Kuang waved his hands to make people retreat, took away the imperial edict, pondered for a moment before saying: "The throne has been suspended for many years, and it is time to make a decision."

There were several objections from below, saying that Chen Kuang was in the prime of his life and was not in a hurry to pass on the throne.

It was obvious that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, but Chen Kuang was very helpful.

"I have no intention of occupying the throne, I just plan ahead." Chen Kuang shook his head.

At this time, Chen Liangyu and Li Gu's men had already surrounded the imperial mausoleum, and the Imperial Forest Army outside the palace had already been taken over by Chen Liangyu for his own use, and they were about to break in as soon as he gave an order.

Chen Liangyu straightened her back and held her head up, waiting for a result or a verdict.

After so many years of painstaking planning and secret planning, I did everything black and white, just for this moment.

If the throne is given to him, he will still be an obedient son in Chen Kuang's eyes, and he will serve his father wholeheartedly for a hundred years.

If the throne falls...

Chen Liangyu's eyes showed a fierce look, so today he will wash the imperial mausoleum with blood, and completely change the world of Dayu!

However, before Chen Kuang could open his mouth in time, a sudden change happened.

I saw the ancestral tablet behind Chen Kuang suddenly vibrate, and immediately the soot fell all over the ground.

The guards with knives rushed forward to protect the driver, while Chen Kuang stared at him with a livid face.

All of a sudden, soot rose up all over the floor, condensing into a stone wall in front of everyone.Immediately afterwards, the tablets were flipped upside down on the table, making loud noises.

Sheets of white paper came out of the wall and stopped in front of Chen Kuang.

The guard with the knife caught it subconsciously, and stacked a thick stack in his palm. When the last one was completed, the stone wall fell, and three large characters were written on the ground——

Qin Zhonghe.

·

"Escort—!"

Chen Liangyu shouted loudly, and the Imperial Forest Army outside the hall immediately filed in.

In an instant, the long sword was rustling, and the armored guards blocked the entire ancestral temple.

Chen Kuang was guarded in the middle and was frightened. He gasped and stared at the heavy soldiers coming up the hall with disbelief on his face.

The soldiers and horses for this trip were ordered by Chen Kuang himself, and he only brought the royal guards with him, and did not dispatch the Imperial Forest Army.Looking at the number of people in the hall and the crowds outside, it seems that the entire Imperial Forest Army has been brought here.

What is the purpose?

Chen Kuang's chest rose and fell, and he questioned in a trembling voice, as if he didn't care about the changes in front of him: "Where... where did it come from?"

Chen Liangyu didn't hide it either, and said it as it should be: "Going back to the emperor, the Imperial Forest Army was brought out by the ministers. This trip out of the palace is very grand, and the ministers are worried about the safety of the emperor and fear that there will be troubles from thieves, so they arrange it privately. Please also Forgive me, father."

Saying I'm sorry, how can there be any shame on Chen Liangyu's face?Not even a single point off the waist.

"Okay! Okay!" Chen Kuang laughed back angrily, and in the blink of an eye he had seen Chen Liangyu's plan clearly: "As expected of my good son!"

"My son doesn't dare."

"What else are you afraid of?" Chen Kuang snorted coldly: "For so many years, I have favored you too much, indulged you too much, and made you forget your identity!"

Chen Liangyu said respectfully, "My son is the son of my father, I dare not forget it for a day."

In front of the courtiers, Chen Kuang showed no mercy: "I'm a courtier, you should be my minister first and then my son, you are my minister first and then my son!"

The confrontation between father and son listens to you coming and going, but there is an undercurrent surging in between.The officials didn't dare to show their anger, but they vaguely sensed that something was wrong. I'm afraid Dayu's life was about to change.

Chen Liangyu was taken aback for a moment, and then relieved: "Thank you, Father, for your reminder, I will definitely keep it in mind." Then, he stretched out his hand to the guard in front of Chen Kuang, and said solemnly, "Give me something." .”

The imperial feather guards only listen to the dispatch of the emperor, and only protect the emperor, and the rest are completely ignored.Yu Wei immediately put his hands away and presented the things to Chen Kuang.

Chen Liangyu's forehead twitched, and his back molars were also clenched together: "Father, I would like to advise you that it is best for you to turn a blind eye to some things."

Chen Kuang grabbed the stack of papers, shook them, and had a strange smile on his pale face: "Why, you still threaten me? For so many years, you and the prime minister have done things behind my back. Can't you see through your old eyes?"

Li Gumeng and Chen Kuang looked at each other, cold sweat pouring down from their bodies.After all, the monarch and ministers have been for many years, no matter how old or useless Chen Kuang is, those fears have already been deeply rooted in his heart.

Chen Kuang's words were tantamount to pushing Chen Liangyu, Li Gu, and the ministers who had close contacts with them to the forefront.

But this time is different from 15 years ago. 15 years ago, Qin Zhonghe was imprisoned before he could refute, and became a prisoner.No matter what the facts are and how many doubts there are, his fate is certain, and the courtiers related to him have separated from him one after another.

It was a dead end game.

But today is different, Chen Kuang is in his twilight years, while the Eighth Prince is in his prime, the power behind him is in full swing, and there are few enemies in his hands.

This contest between father and son is really hard to decide.

Chen Kuang didn't read carefully, he almost read ten lines at a glance, and turned a page from the beginning to the end.There was no sound in the hall, only the sound of flipping paper was particularly ear-piercing, stirring people's nerves.

After reading it hastily, Chen Kuang threw the paper on the ground viciously.

With a "snap", I shook my arms open, only to see densely packed small characters.

Chen Kuang's eyes seemed to be poisoned, he stared at Chen Liangyu slyly, and then turned to Li Gu behind him.He was so angry that he couldn't speak a word, his whole body trembled, and was held firmly by Yuwei.

Chen Liangyu curled his lips and warned: "I've advised the emperor not to meddle in other people's business. If I get angry, I will feel uneasy."

"You..." Chen Kuang's throat was hoarse, and he managed to breathe a sigh of relief: "...You guys did a good job! Come here! Take down this traitor!"

The long swords of the imperial forest army were drawn out one after another, the light of the swords dazzled the eyes, and no one dared to take a step forward.

Facing Chen Kuang's wrath, Chen Liangyu was neither surprised nor afraid. He strolled up to Chen Kuang like a leisurely stroll, bowed his waist slightly, and thought about his father's face: "Everything that my son has done, there is one thing after another. , didn't the father see it? He hasn't made trouble for so many years, why is he going to put his son to death today?"

Chen Liangyu touched his neck, looking tired: "Oh, it's because you are old now, and I am full-fledged, so I can't stand your control anymore."

"...you bastard! Cough cough...you bastard!" Chen Kuang was filled with anger, coughing so hard that his face became even more ugly: "I have valued you for many years...you...you actually...are collaborating with Li Gu in plotting against you? "

"Stop." Chen Liangyu stopped Chen Kuang's words, straightened up, passed the layers of imperial guards and feather guards, and looked at the rows of ancestral ranks on the high platform.

"Father is not important to me, you just need me." Chen Liangyu twitched the corner of his mouth: "Father has made great achievements in his life, and the Dayu River is as stable as a rock. What is piled up behind this is not the blood of soldiers, nor the support of the people, but It’s your self-righteous check and balance.”

"……What did you say?"

"My son said, father is too authoritarian and domineering, you have to blame yourself for today."

"you--!"

Chen Liangyu rubbed the center of his brows, and looked at the elder brother who had been huddled in the crowd since the accident, the current crown prince Chen Jin.

Chen Liangyu said: "Is my son wrong?" He pointed to Chen Jin: "He is cowardly and incompetent, his body is broken, and he has no merit or virtue. I fought on the battlefield when I was 16 years old, mediated the court, and advised you. I have done good and bad things. Now You think I'm covered in mud, and you would rather leave the throne to him and let the prince oversee the country than give it to me."

"Back then, Qin Zhonghe was only loved by the people, so you were extremely jealous, implying that Li Gu put all the rotten hats on him, so that he could not stand up. Chen Youyu, Chen Puyu was extremely intelligent since childhood, courageous and strategic, capable of writing and martial arts How did you treat your own son? Did Chen Youyu die suddenly and suddenly? Chen Puyu has been silent for so many years and has nothing to do with you? If I hadn’t been useful, you would have kept me to this day? Why did you choose Chen Jin Prince, isn't it because he is weak and incompetent and easy to control? Then, let him be the emperor, and you still point out the country behind his back. Father, you have been autocratic | Life is good, your dreams should wake up, it's time for the country to change hands."

The sound of questioning was like a Hong Zhong, and every sentence hit Chen Kuang's heart.His eyes darkened, his chest felt a dull pain, and he took a mouthful of fishy sweetness.

"Pfft—" The blood spewed out, dripping onto Chen Liangyu's sleeve.

Chen Liangyu didn't turn his head, and didn't look at him from the corner of his eye, he just said: "Father, you should step back."

After finishing speaking, he made a gesture, and the Imperial Forest Army was ordered to move.

The two armies fought immediately, but they were outnumbered in the end, and the number of feather guards was not dominant, so they were soon besieged by the Imperial Forest Army.

At this time, Wu Bang, the commander of the army guarding the imperial tomb, led his troops to help and fought outside with the imperial forest army.

The Imperial Mausoleum Army responded flexibly according to the formation of Qi Wujiao. Although there were few people, they easily restrained the Imperial Forest Army. After a while, they broke through a small road, and Wu Bang took advantage of the situation to enter the hall.

He straightened the long knife and thrust it into the ground forcefully, cracks spread layer by layer like blue waves.

Wu Bang was red-eyed, and he was neither humble nor overbearing, but his words were rebellious: "General Wu Bang, the general of Chen Zhenguan, come to ask the emperor for an explanation. If the emperor still has a trace of the virtue of being a king and a king, please let the emperor let me go. Soldiers return to court, let them go where they should go!"

One hundred thousand blood-bathed soldiers, because of Chen Kuang's suspicion, wandered all over the place, unable to form a family, and their ideals and aspirations were all in vain.

Following his words, a majestic figure, Chen Puyu, dressed in military uniform, came slowly with a cold face and a green blade.

More troops rushed from all directions, including the [-] border guards who were dismantled and dismissed by Chen Kuang.

Through many barriers, Chen Puyu finally stood on the opposite side of Chen Kuang.

"Ancestors come first," Chen Puyu waved his arms, and the ancestors stood up one by one.He knelt in front of Chen Kuang, and performed the courtesy of a courtier: "I beg your father to give justice to Taifu Qin, give justice to the virtuous ministers who have been imprisoned, and give justice to a hundred thousand soldiers!"

But he didn't say a word about his own justice.

This is an apparent persecution, but it is enough to reverse the situation.

Chen Kuang didn't think much about why his son who was supposed to be lying in the coffin appeared here, but the officials were terrified.

Chen Liangyu stood a few steps away from Chen Puyu, both of them were guarded by their respective soldiers.They didn't look very much alike, nor were they very close, presumably.Now a battle is inevitable, and everyone knows that the winner is between the two of them.

Chen Kuang was terrified of death, he vomited blood but he was more energetic, Dang Li nodded and agreed: "My good boy, I will give you whatever you want, quickly take down these thieves for my father, I will reward you very much."

Chen Puyu smiled faintly: "You are not joking, I dare not expect extravagance from my father's reward, Puyu, but it is time to settle some accounts."
