Hypocrites

When all the people were seated, Liang Huang was on the left of the emperor, Shen Yu was on the right, one short of the king of southern Sichuan.

At this time, the doorman came to report again, and General Tianqing was long in coming.

Before the person arrived, the voice came first: "The last general will see your majesty! The last general has no eyes, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Rashing the door curtain, Lin Zhu barged in. When he saw all the nobles, who was that Liang Heng who was not dressed in red and black royal clothes?

Liang Huang examined him and said, "What are you doing here?"

"Come and pay your respects to Your Majesty!" Lin Zhu said grandly, touching the ground with one knee, and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, you are running too fast with Li Chengbu, and you will be out of reach in the end. If you catch up on the way, I’ve seen it and I’m going back, I have to come to the palace right now, and pay all the respects. Please forgive me for the crime of not entertaining you properly!”

Lin Zhu looked up and looked at the person in the seat, with a gentle expression on his face, but it was different from the temperament he had imagined. Under the stars and the moon, there was a majesty spontaneously.

Liang Heng gave him a seat, and Lin Zhu immediately sat on the head of Shen Yu with a golden knife.

Everyone stared at him.

Liang Huang was stern, and his eyes flew to his subordinates: "Get out."

Lin Zhu said: "What's the matter? I see that His Majesty travels without showing off, so I naturally think it's very casual."

In his words, he meant that Liang Heng went out on patrol in low clothes, and when he arrived at his general's mansion, he kept silent and kept him in the dark, which was really embarrassing.Liang Heng heard it, and felt that the general was really courageous, saying that His Majesty forgives the crime, but in fact he blamed himself.

Liang Heng smiled and said: "You can do whatever you want, you might as well get another one."

Lin Zhu took a look, and if he got another one, he would be taller than Liang Huang.The prince was stern and selfless. As soon as Gang Li's eyes were swept away, Lin Zhu immediately retreated to His Royal Highness with his tail between his legs. Serving in the Southern Sichuan Army, there is no one who is not afraid of the prince.Not to mention his figure, which is comparable to a thousand-foot wall, but his face that is always frozen is intimidating.

This is the proper time to sit down, and everyone has a banquet.Standing by the side were two maids in emerald green dresses, who lowered the curtain of the hall.

The dinner was quiet, only Lin Zhu spoke to Prince Liang and asked him, "Good nephew, are you still studying?"

The crown prince pursed his lips and smiled, rather shyly: "No, I've been feeling unwell recently, and I'm idle on the couch."

"What did the doctor say?"

The princess replied: "It's still the same. In summer, the catkins will cough, and in winter, when the cold air enters the body, they will also cough. I think this child is difficult to raise."

The prince was embarrassed, his cheeks were flushed, as if he had been powdered.When Liang Heng looked at him, he felt more cordial. In the royal family, warriors traveled all over the place, and the strong men were like flowing water, so they could raise such a delicate child.Thinking of his father's life, he died in depression just because of an unworthy ancestor.If he is still alive, he must also lead the son as the same kind.

"If you raise it, you may not be able to mount a gun and mount a horse to fight the enemy," Lin Zhu said, "My good nephew, in the future, I will tell your father and king that if you want to study but not practice martial arts, then the Southern Sichuan Army of Lao Shizi, uncle will lead you. How about it?"

Liang Huang didn't seem to hear it.

The eldest son said calmly: "It depends on uncle's ability. If my nephew really doesn't have this ability, my father will naturally not hand over the army to me."

Lin Zhu tacitly accepted the agreement to compete for posts, and said to Liang Huang and Liang Heng: "Your Majesty and the prince will be a witness!"

Liang Heng thought in his heart, he really dared to say it.But looking at Liang Huang, he didn't refute.

The commander-in-chief of the Southern Sichuan Army, starting from Liang Yu, was no longer hereditary. He chose Liang Huang as his successor, and Liang Huang could naturally choose others.

There are more than a hundred rooms in the palace. After a meal, Liang Huang invites His Majesty and the guards to enter the main room.

There is an arhat bed together, and there is a desk between them. Liang Huang's aura that is really refined by blood and yellow sand is released, and he is like a mountain pressing down on others.

As soon as Liang Heng stroked his sleeves, he said, "I should have issued an imperial edict before coming here, so I wouldn't be in a hurry. But if you pass the Shangshutai, you will inevitably be verbally abused by the three princes and nine ministers, so I avoided this imperial edict." process."

Liang Huang observed carefully, seeing that His Majesty was calm and composed, he withdrew his aura and looked solemn.Speaking in detail, Liang Huang is a grandpa after all, even though he is not old enough, at first he could not help but treat Liang Heng as a junior.

"Your Majesty sent a yellow silk edict from the Marquis of Youdu. With the fish talisman as evidence, I dare not be negligent. I have a general. Your Majesty ascended the throne a few years ago. He went to the royal capital to watch the ceremony and met him from a distance. I went to Tianmen Town to pick him up. , take him with you, and you will know when you see His Majesty."

Liang Heng nodded slightly.

I also saw a niche hanging on the south wall of the main room, in which a memorial tablet was enshrined, it was pitch black, and the name of the person who wrote the book could not be seen clearly, and two thin smokes curled out of the incense bowl.

Liang Huang looked over and said, "That is the spiritual tablet dedicated to Emperor Wu."

Liang Heng said: "Emperor Wu used to be king in southern Sichuan, so you worship him in the palace?"

Unexpectedly, Liang Huang said with a strange expression: "That's not the reason. Don't you know, Your Majesty? More than 20 years ago, there was a famine, another flood, and an earthquake in Dongshan. The descendants paid more attention to enshrining. The imperial court sent imperial envoys to inform the ministers, and a niche was set up in the Linjiang Palace to worship Emperor Xianwu. For this reason, the tablet has not been removed."

Is there such a thing?Liang Heng didn't know at all, but after thinking about it, it was normal for him not to know what happened more than 20 years ago when he was still in the mother's womb.

Shen Yu suddenly said: "Who is the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court? The spiritual seat was sent by Wangdu?"

Liang Huang glanced at him, and replied without hesitation: "It's been a long time, I can't remember who it is. The spiritual tablet is made by the palace now, and Wangdu sent another one—the bone ring of Emperor Wu."

Liang Heng was startled in horror, and he looked at Shen Yu with shock that he couldn't hide.

Fortunately Liang Huang recalled the past, he was also very sad, and did not notice any abnormalities.

"The bone ring was carved from the little finger of Emperor Wu. In the past, Emperor Wu was the king of southern Sichuan and fought in the four fields. He made great achievements in battle, but he also lost a finger. Wangdu sent the bone ring, hoping to return to his hometown and calm the restlessness of the dead."

Liang Heng blurted out: "The bone ring is still in the palace?"

After the words, I feel wrong.If the bone ring was in the palace, the late emperor returned to the west a few years ago, and he was watching the night in the Ming hall, what did the three eunuchs show him?What's more, there is only one empty niche left on the south wall, except for the tablet, there is nothing left.

Liang Huang said: "Your Majesty forgot? The late Emperor Bintian was buried in the imperial mausoleum, and Wangdu sent imperial envoys to retrieve the bone ring, saying that he would return the bone ring to the imperial mausoleum together. There was also a vermilion pen to approve the red permission, and His Majesty had not yet registered. The position, the minister only said that it was written by the prince. The golden seal of the country was stolen, and whether it is the imperial edict or His Majesty's imperial decree, there is no seal as evidence."

These words caused a storm in Liang Heng's heart.He tried his best to restrain his emotions, and he already understood that the imperial envoy who sent the bone ring, and the one who welcomed the bone ring back, must be the confidants of the three eunuchs.

It was getting late, Liang Huang gave up the main room of the palace for Liang Heng to live and rest.He also said that tomorrow the other two generals of the Southern Sichuan Army will be recalled to discuss the peace talks.

It was night, the station guards were arranged in the left and right side rooms of the main room, and Shen Yu set up a couch outside the screen of the main room. Zou Fang and others didn't think it was inappropriate anymore, they were used to it.

Although there was a couch, there was no one on the couch, so Mr. You Duhou slept on His Majesty's bed.

He helped Liang Heng remove his clothes, the two of them only wore shirts and whispered into each other's ears.

Liang Heng felt sorry for him, and analyzed with Shen Yu: "It must have been that year when the late emperor defeated the Korean Clan. The three eunuchs thought the time was right, and told him the truth about his life experience. In order to prevent the late emperor from destroying the evidence, they did nothing. Go on and on, forging the name and sending the bone ring to the Southern Sichuan Palace, so that the first emperor thought that the two sides shared the secret, and dared not act rashly."

Shen Yu nodded, rubbing his chin against Liang Heng's face, it was a little itchy - he had a little stubble, he was running around for days, and he didn't have time to clean it up.

"That's right. The first emperor was always in a state of turmoil. He only suspected that others doubted him, and he didn't believe that others believed him. In fact, it is impossible for the three eunuchs to share the interests with the king of southern Sichuan! Just because the [-] southern Sichuan army is the elite of the country, the three eunuchs have the late emperor's handle. But there is no such thing as the King of Liang, if the King of Liang intends to rebel, how can a mere [-] southern troops in the hands of the three Lang Zhong generals be able to suppress it?"

"The king of Liang is not the same party as the three eunuchs."

Liang Heng's blood was on fire, and his eyes opened up immediately, and he gained a little confidence.

Shen Yu signaled him to speak softly, "Liang Huang is not an accomplice, but he may not be suspicious. I think he has already seen through your conversation with him. You don't know about the coming and going of the bone ring. The most urgent thing is to He must not let him notice the bone ring, he must divert his attention. Liang Huang can only know that there is a gap between His Majesty and the three permanent attendants in the palace, so that it can be used by us."

Liang Heng stopped talking.

He was not as fast as Shen Yu, but he was not stupid at all. He understood Shen Yu's hint - he wanted to hide the secret of his life experience for himself.

This is of course, impersonating the royal family, the crime should be cut to pieces.

But it was very difficult, the first emperor kept it a secret all his life, if he hadn't died early, sooner or later he would be driven mad by the three eunuchs.Perhaps his chronic illness for so many years is hard to get rid of, and it is because of depression.

Liang Heng was also afraid of death, when Shen Yu was not around, he was afraid, when Shen Yu was around, he was afraid that Shen Yu would watch him die.

"You hug me." Liang Heng said.

Shen Yu folded his arms together.

The spring night is warm in the tent, and outside the house, the Zhuojiang River is rolling eastward, and the waves wash away the cliffs and rocks on both sides.Both the southern kingdom and the northern kingdom fell asleep in the endless sound of the waves.

The next day, Liang Huang summoned four groups, but only three came, namely Licheng, Narrow Pass, and Shiqie, and the leader of the Sha group, Wang Jianzhi, was not there for a long time.After waiting for a long time, until the sun was setting, Liang Huang didn't wait any longer, and dispatched a group of personal soldiers to Jingsha Department of Zhuoyin Town to kidnap people.

Lin Zhu spread his hands together: "Wang Jianzhi is from Wang Xia's family, so it's normal for him to have a temper."

Liang Heng only needed to turn his brain, and he found this name with a fine memory.Situ Wangxia, who was sent for crimes during the disaster of the party, died in the Tao.

Because of that disaster, there were more than one or two families that quickly perished, not to mention the Shen family and the Ma family in Ruyang, but the Wangdu Si Nong Jie family, the Shang Shu Ling Wen family, and the Situ Wang family were all listed here.These names are all in Qiu Zhiyuan's murder book, and have been named one after another by Hades, but in the eyes of outsiders, what's the difference between them and the late emperor who was insensitive and proficient?

Liang Heng glanced over, and Shen Yu stood silently half a step behind him.Sometimes he thought, thanks to Shen Yu.

Fortunately, there is an orphan of the Shen family, like a banner, following the new emperor around, proving that he is different from the previous emperor, so Wen Yao's son is willing to receive them, and Jieyun will give a reminder.Shen Yu is all his luck.
