[Hanwu] Attack and retreat

Wei Qing's first reaction when he got the news was to ask Liu Che for clarification.After so many years of friendship with Liu Che, he couldn't believe that Liu Che would let Chen Xu have an accident, but before he went to find Liu Che, he received the news that the emperor had abdicated.

There are a lot of affairs for the crown prince's ascension to the throne, and Wei Qing, a soldier in the army camp, is not qualified to see the prince at all.

This was the first time Wei Qing felt how small he was. Chen Xu had given him so much, and he couldn't even ask Chen Xu to understand, so he could only sit in his room.

Chen Er stood opposite Wei Qing, holding an account book in his hand. "The master left us to you, not to watch you die."

"Why stop me?" He originally wanted to save Chen Xu, but was knocked unconscious by Chen Da.

"The master left us to you, of course he wanted you to take us into battle to kill the enemy and make great achievements in battle." Chen Er opened the account book in his hand, and said to Wei Qing: "Although the master's property has been taken over by the emperor, Yes, but the master has always been cautious in doing things, and bought a few shops in our name, which is more than enough for a Wei family, as long as you can sit in the position of the general, it will be regarded as fulfilling the master's wish."

"You keep calling him master, why are you willing to watch him die?" Wei Qing asked, frowning. "He didn't die, all of this was his arrangement, right? Will he come back as long as I become a general?"

"If you must think so, then so be it." Chen Er threw the account book in front of Wei Qing. "Since you want to be a great general, you have to learn other things besides practicing martial arts."

Wei Qing: "..." Why did the person in front of him show such a scary smile?

If Chen Xu were here, he would definitely tell Wei Qing that this kind of smile is because of ghosts.

In addition to Wei Qing who was making trouble, there was also a young boy who was making trouble in the palace.

"What?" The emperor stood in front of Liu Che's room door, looking at the soup and vegetables on both sides of the door. "The prince is still unwilling to eat?"

"Yes." The guard said: "I haven't even drank any water since this morning."

"Hmph." The emperor snorted and walked in.Liu Che just sat on the bed with a blank expression, and the maidservant by the bed saluted immediately when she saw the emperor, but Liu Che remained motionless.The emperor waved his hand and said, "Go down."

"Yes."

"It's rude not to eat or drink, are you going to be a log?" The emperor stepped forward and slapped Liu Che, and the slap on Liu Che's face was very loud. "It's enough for you to be presumptuous."

"You kill all the servants and guards in the palace, and you kill all the people in Princess Guantao's mansion. It's easy to kill just me." Liu Che's face was distorted, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "A person who doesn't even have brotherhood, how can there be a father-son relationship."

Brotherly love was obviously a disease in the emperor's heart, and Dang even changed his face. "Presumptuous, don't you think that I really dare not take your life, and I don't look at what you have done. If I didn't act for you, would I wait for everyone in the world to laugh at you?"

"This is about me and Chen Xu, what does it have to do with you?" Liu Che grabbed the quilt.

"If you weren't my son, who would care about you." The emperor said and slapped Liu Che again.

Liu Che frowned, and wanted to say something ugly, but the emperor coughed, and the cough became more and more intense, until he coughed up a mouthful of blood.Surprised, Liu Che looked at his father. "you……"

The emperor leaned on the edge of the bed and sat down.He scolded angrily: "What are you? If it weren't for the fact that I'm already dying, I'd just abolish you."

Liu Che: "..."

"I originally liked you the most. Chen Xu is experienced in handling affairs and will be a great help to you in the future. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't attack Princess Guantao's mansion."

"You are brothers. Could it be that in your heart only King Liang is your brother?" Liu Che said, "Chen Xu and I have a closer relationship. If you kill Chen Xu, you will kill me."

The emperor frowned. "Could it be that you don't even want the throne for the sake of Chen Xu?"

Tears welled up in Liu Che's eyes.Chen Xu also asked this question. At that time, he still felt that Chen Xu was simply unreasonable. As a prince, if he could not become emperor, he would have to die in the hands of Queen Dowager Dou. Don't want to be emperor?But when he was really about to ascend the throne, without Chen Xu by his side, he felt extremely melancholy in his heart, without any joy at all.

"Cough cough." The emperor coughed twice again, and he didn't expect Liu Che to be so attached to Chen Xu. "My days are numbered. When I die, you can do whatever you like."

Liu Che: "Everyone is dead, what else can I do?"

"Do you really think I'm so cruel? Cough." The emperor said, "Don't talk about the identity of Princess Guantao, even Chen Wu and Chen Xu, one big and one small, two little foxes, it is absolutely impossible for me to turn over so smoothly. to the princess mansion."

Liu Che's eyes lit up. "Father means..."

"Unless they want to die, those on the execution ground are definitely not them." Seeing Liu Che's eyes lit up, the emperor said again: "Don't be too happy, the solution is not just pretending to be dead. , Chen Xu would do this, obviously because he also wanted to break up with you."

Liu Che's eyes dimmed again. "Father means that Chen Xu is willing to give up Princess Guantao's mansion, give up his status as the eldest son, and is unwilling to be with me?"

"I don't know about that." The emperor said: "Perhaps he also knows that this matter is intolerable to the world, so he chose to leave."

"No, Chen Xu is not such a person." Liu Che said: "If he really wants to be with me, he will naturally not care about other people's eyes. He doesn't want the world to look at me with strange eyes, and he doesn't want me Abandon the throne."

Emperor: "Oh, you just need to understand."

Liu Che: "..." How did he understand?Although Chen Xu was a bit biased towards their relationship at the beginning, they are together anyway, so what are they going to do now by pretending to be dead?He didn't even know where to find Chen Xu.

"After all, you are going to be the emperor, so you should do what you should do." The emperor said, "Did you forget the map of mountains and rivers that was presented on my birthday?"

Liu Che: "..." That thing was made by Chen Xu and him.

"When I close my eyes, I don't know anything. I won't be able to stop you from doing anything then, but now, you have to stay in the palace for me." The emperor said and coughed twice.

Zhang Ze said that he would ascend the throne at the age of 16. Liu Che thought about the reason, and suddenly felt a little more sad. "Long live my father, I will definitely not die."

"Everyone is going to die." The emperor glanced at Liu Che, got up and said, "Think about it for yourself, the food is on the table in the outer room, when you want to know when to eat."

Liu Che touched his face, and the emperor said again: "The ointment is also outside." After saying that, he left Liu Che's room. The guard outside the door immediately handed a cloth towel when the emperor first came out. Walking back, he muttered softly. "This chicken blood dries up so fast?"

Liu Che could hear clearly in the room, smiled, got out of bed and walked to the outer room, and sure enough, there were ointments and steaming hot food outside.

The emperor couldn't bear to see him die like this, and he didn't want to lie to him.This kind of father-son affection must have never been obtained by other princes... How could he live up to his father's expectations of him?Chen Xu also knew this, so he helped him make a choice...
