The wind and rain howled, and the thunder and lightning roared.I hugged my nephew, walked through the corridor, and ran all the way to the West Pavilion.

The nephew's wound was bloody, and sugar cake and candied fruit changed his dressing with red eyes.I said anxiously at the side: "Seriously injured, how can you run around like this! Xue Shang is confused!"

"Uncle," the nephew called me softly, "it's my nephew who insists on following me, and it's none of Master Xue's business."

I leaned over to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and he suddenly grabbed my hand again, with a little force, but not too much.The arrowhead grazed the shoulder blade, and the military doctor said that it came out of the back through the seam of the bone.

I wiped my face and turned my head to the side.Zhao Shuo and Wei Pei were separated by a crocodile screen, shadowy looking towards me.The imperial nephew seemed to sense that I was about to get up, and squeezed my wrist firmly: "Uncle Fourteen, be sure to be by my side, Uncle Fourteen..."

My broken copper-like heart seemed to suddenly give way to a corner, and I really couldn't help Liang Wang calling out so angrily.In my previous life, when I was in the war army, King Yan’s cavalry attacked at night, and King Liang broke into my tent, pulled me and put me on the horse, that is to say, Uncle Fourteen, be sure to be by my side.At that time, I suspected that the cavalry was deliberately designed by him to kill me in the army while taking advantage of the chaos.I called Zhao Shuo and Wei Pei to talk inside.

Zhao Shuo pushed Wei Pei, glanced at the emperor's nephew and me in surprise, fell silent for a moment, and said worriedly: "Tiqi's investigation reported that there is indeed no change in the army of the kings, King Yan has returned to Yunzhou, and King Jin has also returned." It has already left the border of Zhongzhou, if it is really the envoy of the Xue family, why did Xue Wangba lose his head this time?"

Zhao Shuo may not be the most politically minded, but he must understand me best, and his questions are usually exactly the same as mine.Of course, I didn't ask him to come in because I didn't expect him to have any insights. I looked at Wei Pei humbly and sincerely: "Young Master Wei, can you relieve my worries?"

Wei Qing, who was silent for a long time, finally moved his lips: "Caomin is a scholar, so I dare not speak nonsense."

I stared at his indifferent and downcast eyes, knowing that he had something to say in his heart: "You were originally the Qiuwei Xieyuan of the Qingzhou Mansion last year. The opportunity to go straight to Hanlin."

Wei Pei raised his eyes to look at me in surprise, Zhao Shuo and the emperor's nephew also looked at me in surprise, there have been too many such surprised looks recently, I have long since become accustomed to them.I shook my nephew's hand back, it was hard for him to listen to me while being in pain.

"Your Majesty," Wei Pei said without hesitation, "Pei just heard in the hall that the criminal Guo Ling had been poisoned and killed in the prison of Dali Temple. Master Xue of Dali Temple said that it was for King Jin. Pei also heard that Guo Ling's son Fighting with the nephew of Lord Song Lang, the servant of the Ministry of Justice, in the market, leading away the guards on duty, leaving no one to save His Majesty when he was assassinated. Master Xue said, it was still the King of Jin's plan. But Pei asked, if the King of Jin was killed in prison Guo Ling must have followed Guo Ling for fear of the Dali Temple, and since the King of Jin is afraid of the court in the capital, how dare he rashly assassinate His Majesty?"

I stared at the azurite floor tiles in silence, the wind and rain outside the window were beating against the iron horse under the eaves, clanging and clanging.

Wei Pei nodded slightly, made a usual movement before making a big move, cupped his hands in front of his eyebrows, paused for a moment, and said: "Pei watched from the sidelines, it may not be true, but Pei thinks that His Majesty was assassinated outside the palace this time. It was indeed the work of the Xue family! The Xue family originally belonged to the family of the deceased crown prince, and the orphan of the deceased crown prince is still there, looking at the capital, now that His Majesty's throne is not stable, and the whole dynasty is in chaos, why not let it go and fight?"

My eyelids twitched when I heard this, the nephew coughed violently, and the sugar cake and candied fruit left in panic with a gold plate on which blood-stained gauze was placed.

"Scholar," Zhao Shuo frowned, "you have only heard a few gossips, how can you make a judgment? The dead prince's orphan has lived in the East Palace for many years. If Mrs. Xue wants to embrace him and proclaim him emperor, there are countless opportunities. Why did you choose this one?" when?"

Wei Pei was stingy with his expression, and didn't take a second look at the person who pushed him over, but lowered his eyes slightly towards me: "Your Majesty, Pei never speaks of inferences."

I stroked my nephew's back and looked at him: "The monk you saw yesterday, which Cangwu gate did you go through?"

"Pei doesn't know how many Cangwu sects there are in the palace. Pei only knows that Jiang Xian, the prime minister of Emperor Wen's dynasty, resigned from his official position and became a monk. In the later Wendi and Xiandi dynasties, he failed to be recruited many times. He has not entered the court for decades. This time Why did you sneak into the palace suddenly, why were all the guards in the palace willing to be dispatched by him last night when there were many dangers, why did the queen mother speak up to defend her in person under the eyes of everyone? Your Majesty, who is worth seeing when Mr. Jiang enters the palace?"

I closed my eyes in pain: "The Empress Dowager..."

Wei Pei's voice was very calm, and his words were analyzed in detail: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jiang and the Empress Dowager are brothers and sisters of the same class. They have been separated for half a lifetime, and when they are very old, they suddenly see each other. If it is not a matter of life and death..."

If it wasn't a matter of life and death, if it wasn't for my grandmother's illness, who would dare to move a finger in this chaotic court?I stood up and rushed out.

"Amitabha." The Buddha's name was uttered, and the monk pushed me back into the door with a palm, and stood on the doorstep with my legs spread apart. "Scholar who talks too much, he should be killed!"

I took several steps back and bumped into the screen. Zhao Shuo supported my back, and dared not say anything else.The empress ran over the doorstep from behind the monk and helped me up: "Fourteen!"

Wei Pei lowered his head and turned to the crowd: "The Buddha is merciful, the master taught us well."

I jumped up: "Old monk! What happened to my grandmother? Don't lie to me!"

The old monk clasped his hands together on his chest, and suddenly moved a Buddhist bead. There was a soft "click", which shook the room into silence: "My son, fourteen, do you want the world to know that he is dead?"

The empress sobbed and began to cry.

The monk is tall and tall, covering half of the wind and rain, looking down from a high position: "The monks in Sumeru Temple are not sleepy. The slave of Xue's family has an affair with the eunuch's son. Did your majesty see it yesterday?"

That's right, the emperor's grandmother died, and the monk Jiezi sneaked into the palace. The little monk didn't bother to observe her change and informed Xue Shi.Immediately, I took a car to the front of the temple to show up, was spotted by Buzhen, and then walked to the night market for more than an hour.This more than an hour is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Kill me, and when Jiang's family is scattered and all the kings retreat from their fiefdoms, push Liangwang to the throne in one fell swoop.Within Kyoto, no one would object.

I got scared.Xue Shang didn't show up for a long time yesterday, and this morning he stood beside my bed with a sword in his hand. In that situation, he wanted to kill me.What about the good king?I look at him.

He didn't know when he came down from the ground, stepped barefoot on the cold blue bricks, held the screen with his hands, and stood quietly beside me.

"Good," the monk suddenly walked into the room and stopped in front of King Liang, "His Royal Highness, how much do you know about this matter?"

King Liang lowered his eyes in vain, silent.

"A good king will not know about it." I went forward to meet him, "It's the careful examination of Mrs. Xue."

There was another cruel smile on the monk's round, white and rosy face: "Your Majesty, who is the one in the Xue family?"

I am dumbfounded.This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Xue family. Fortunately, even if it does not succeed, it will not succeed.The Xue family is full of outstanding talents in civil and military affairs, killing them at this time is tantamount to cutting off their own arms, I can't do anything to them.

If you can't touch the Xue family, who can you touch?

The monk looked at my nephew and said, "Amitabha, His Royal Highness King Liang, it's time to go to Liangzhou."

"Fart!" I yelled angrily, "I won't allow it!"

The empress shivered in fright beside me, and gently pulled me: "Emperor, listen to Master, this is your imperial grandmother's legacy... Yizhi..."

I pulled up my nephew, kicked over the screen, and flung my sleeves away.

I have a bad reputation among the people, because I am not only incompetent, but also crazy from time to time.After the death of King Liang, the whole world thought I was crazy, not because I have learned from the past.

In the previous life, when my grandmother and his elders died, all the lovers suggested that the funeral should be kept secret. However, in front of all the civil and military officials, I couldn't help but burst into grief, and burst into tears. Only set off a decade of wolf smoke.

At this time in this life, I not only have to grieve for the passing away of my father and grandmother, but also feel sorry for the bloody hole in King Liang's body.For the safety of the country, I decided to stop the court for half a month and stay away from all the ministers and workers.

It was raining heavily outside, I hugged my nephew and fled all the way to Xuanyang Palace.The old monk followed him like a shadow, shuttled through the rain, with the Buddha's eyes on his benevolent face, and he pursued him closely.

This old man dares to kill in the place where my grandfather Wendi lived?I respected my grandmother's order and recognized him as my teacher for 20 years. He never taught me anything other than chanting scriptures. I knew he was unwilling. Yes, I think he not only wants to kill Liang Wang, but also wants to kill me too!

Panting, I put King Liang on my dragon couch, facing the old monk on the ridge of the opposite hall through a layer of window paper.

The imperial nephew groaned weakly, and the wound oozes blood again.He stood up forcefully: "Uncle Fourteenth...my nephew made Fourteenth Uncle so embarrassed, if I can save Fourteenth Uncle from the siege, it's better...it's better to execute my nephew, Fourteenth Uncle ordered, My nephew never complains..."

Good nephew, you have no complaints, so can I continue playing?

I picked up a stool and sat down in the middle of the hall door, and started a protracted cold war with the old monk.

It was raining heavily, and the day was like a twilight. I don't know how long it took, but under my steadfast gaze, the drenched monk finally left.

I saw Xu Changan trotting all the way from the Chaoshou corridor from afar.

He was so anxious that he didn't know what to say, and spit at me from ten steps away: "Your Majesty! It's bad food! The previous court is reversed! The grown-ups thought you were dead! Doctor Yin was punched by Prime Minister Xue. Whale and Yulin guards have surrounded the Daming Palace, and the imperial guards are going to fight them! Go and have a look!"

I blocked him from the threshold with my palm, and wiped my face with a headache: "...Go, call the military doctor at the base of the city wall."

"what?"

I stood up and shook my robe, my legs were so numb that I couldn't find my way, I stood silently for a moment before I could move.As soon as I turned out of the palace gate, I heard Xu Changan exclaim: "His Royal Highness Liang! Your Majesty! His Royal Highness Liang has passed out!"

Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky.Eldest nephew, it's good for you, you always want to entrust your life, death and wealth to me.Am I God?
