The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

"This person has already been brought here. She is the dowry maid of the eldest princess Zhaoning, named Zisu. After the eldest princess Zhaoning married to Yeluo, she heard some inside information many times. Su came to report, and now Zisu is outside the hall. It's just that women are not allowed to go to the court hall, and whether they are summoned or not, I have to listen to the emperor's wishes."

The emperor glanced at Yan Jun and said indifferently, "Come in."

Zisu is the confidant of Princess Zhaoning for many years. She is very well-dressed, and she is not cowardly when she enters the court. Luo, but she has always known that she is the princess of Da Zhou, a subject of the emperor, and she only cares about Da Zhou and the emperor. Therefore, the eldest princess would rather take the risk of being deported by King Ye Luo, and send her servants back, Expose the conspiracy between Ye Luo and King Liang!"

Cen An said: "Now in front of the emperor and all the ministers, you have to explain everything clearly, so that you can live up to the entrustment of Guoen and the eldest princess."

"Yes." Zisu kowtowed three times again, and said slowly, "Once, the Eldest Princess overheard a general from Yeluo talking to the monarch, saying that the food, grass and supplies had been prepared, and they didn't know when they would send them. The eldest princess felt strange, hadn't heard of where Ye Luo was going to fight, and what was he preparing to do with the military resources? So the eldest princess paid attention, secretly investigated, and only then did she know that those things had been sent to the southeast border. The southeast of Yeluo is on the border with Dazhou, and the eldest princess was afraid that Yeluo would go to war with Dazhou. But when she thought about it, the two countries were already married, so how could they go to war? Finally, the eldest princess knew that the place was actually The fiefdom of King Liang! The eldest princess was very worried, so she ordered her servants to come back quietly. She wanted to meet the emperor directly, but the servants came back quietly. When the general came out of the palace, the servant girl first reported the situation to him and asked him to be the master."

Cen An said: "When I learned about this, I already knew that King Liang and Ye Luo had colluded for a long time, Zisu's words are even more evidence. The emperor and the adults knew after careful consideration that Princess Zhaoning is the Queen of Ye Luo. Why would she order her maid to come back and slander her husband and the innocent King Liang with lies? If Ye Luo is at odds with Da Zhou, wouldn’t it be a dilemma for her, the Princess of Da Zhou and Empress Ye Luo, to be caught in the middle?”

Everyone has different expressions, some believe it, some don't believe it very much, but even if they don't believe it, they can't find a reason for Princess Zhaoning to be a fake.

"It's good that Zisu is the eldest princess's dowry maid, but what she said may not necessarily mean what the eldest princess meant. In case she was bribed, or the eldest princess made a mistake and misunderstood something, it is not impossible. After all, the eldest princess Raised in a deep boudoir since childhood, how can I understand these important military affairs?"

After all, Zi Su was just a court lady, she didn't know how to explain to the courtiers, so she could only look at Cen An earnestly.Cen An said: "Master Chen is right. The eldest princess really doesn't understand military affairs, and it is possible to make a mistake, but our ministers will not make mistakes. What is the relationship between General Yan and King Liang? It's not for the purpose of leaving a support for King Liang, so that he can plan something with Ye Luo in the future, even if General Yan is bold, he wouldn't dare to indulge Qin Ran, the criminal minister of the court, right?"

"Even if there is something, just now Zisu only talked about King Liang, and didn't mention General Yan, but General Cen kept talking about General Yan. How can you say that you are both ministers and leaders For the position of great general, why should there be such internal strife and discord, causing the emperor to worry, and the country will have no peace!"

Cen An twitched the corners of his lips, and said: "I dare not compare myself with General Yan. General Yan holds a heavy army, and most of the generals in the court are attached to him, so they look down on me. I am only loyal, maybe It is slightly better than General Yan."

The emperor said impatiently, "Where did all this nonsense come from? Is this what I'm sitting here listening to you complain about?"

Cen An restrained himself a little, reluctantly answered "Yes", and said, "I still have a witness for General Yan."

The moment Yan Zun entered the hall, no one raised any objections.

It has been cloudy and rainy for a while, and the continuous rainy season will not go away, and there is a cold and damp smell everywhere.Ye Zhiyan had nothing to do, so he bought a lot of sandalwood at the market and came back to light it, and specially sent some to Cui Zheng.

After these days of recuperation, Kui Zheng's hand got better again, he lit the sandalwood himself, and said with a smile: "Sandalwood smells good, I remember Li Guang likes it too. Did you send him some?"

"Daoist forgot? Your Highness is afraid of the heat, and he doesn't burn incense in his room in summer." Ye Zhiyan said.

Kezheng looked at the pattering rain outside the window, and said: "Yes, his body has always been afraid of heat and cold. After all, he was separated from his biological mother when he was born, and he had no breast milk to drink, so he had a bad foundation since he was a child. I was Ah, he was raised with goat's milk."

Ye Zhiyan said: "I heard from my mother before that it was extremely difficult for the Taoist priest to raise His Highness."

Kui Zheng smiled and shook his head, "It's not easy, but now I've made it through."

Ye Zhiyan thought for a while and said, "Your Highness seems to be in a bad mood these days, but he doesn't say anything, so I can't ask."

Kui Zheng let out a long sigh, and said, "I know he's in a bad mood. I've been waiting for him to ask me, but he hasn't come yet."

"Your Highness didn't come to ask, because he was afraid of hearing the answer from the Taoist priest, and also afraid that the Taoist priest would not give him the answer." Ye Zhiyan thought, "However, it is better to talk about some things as soon as possible. It can't be delayed any longer, His Highness has to decide on many things."

Qianzheng looked at him, and finally nodded, "Then, call Liguang for me, I want to talk to him."

Bai Yu came only at dusk, bringing fresh melons and fruits that had just been delivered to the palace, "This honeydew melon is very sweet, Master must like it. When it's hottest at noon, eat it chilled, it's the best way to cool off the heat. But don't do this at night. Eat, afraid of hurting the stomach."

Kui Zheng smiled lightly and said, "Okay, I'll make a note of it."

Like when he was a child, Bai Yu took a small stick and sat down in front of Kui Zheng, leaned on Kui Zheng's lap, raised his face and said, "Master is looking for me, do you have anything to tell me?"

Cuizheng's hands trembled, and he stroked Baiyu's head, "That's how you acted like a baby with me when you were young."

Bai Yu smiled, and said softly: "I remember that time, it was to ask Master where my biological parents went. This time, I also wanted to ask Master clearly, what exactly is Master planning?"

Now, there is nothing to hide.Ke Zheng leaned down and whispered in Bai Yu's ear: "If you want to start an incident, you need enough money, soldiers, horses and weapons. I have been preparing for you for 17 years."

Bai Yu didn't respond, only the sound of his disturbed breathing could be heard in the dead silence of the room.His expression was still calm, but he could clearly hear his heartbeat, which missed a beat.

Although there have been many guesses and perceptions, but now that I heard it with my own ears, the shock is naturally conceivable.Bai Yuping took a breath and said calmly: "17 years? In the past, we were just two impoverished Taoist priests in a dilapidated Taoist temple, with no power, no power, no support. How did Master do this? "

Qianzheng said slowly: "Your mother and concubine and I are both from Weiyan. She is the daughter of a well-known wealthy businessman in Weiyan. She was only twelve or thirteen years old and famous for her stunning beauty. Betrothed to someone else, but Weiyan was still a weak and small country at that time, so the monarch of Weiyan ordered to give this beautiful woman to your father. No one can disobey the monarch's order, and she has nothing to do if she doesn't want to. Fortunately Your royal father really likes her very much, and Weiyan has also relied on her, and she quickly became strong."

Bai Yu looked at the gloomy expression on Qizheng's face, and suddenly understood something, "It seems that the person the mother and concubine wanted to betroth to is the master."

"Yes." Kezheng seemed to be drowning in the river of the past, "Li Guang, you have never seen her before, she is really beautiful, even if you have searched all over the harem of Dazhou and Weiyan, there is probably no one who can match her." I have passed her. With such a face, she has such a beautiful heart. The so-called beauty is unlucky, she is not born to belong to me, how can I keep her? After she was sent to the palace, I chased after Da Zhou, even though I knew that I It is impossible to enter the palace, but as long as I can be closer to her, I was heartbroken day and night, and I hated myself for not having a good pregnancy, and even the only woman I loved had to be handed over to others. Later, she followed you My father went to the royal enclosure, and I finally saw her again, and she also knew that I live in Dazhou now. I tried to let her go with me, but she told me that she was pregnant, you Father was very kind to her, and she couldn't harm her parents and family. Later, her maid sent you out of the palace and handed you over to me."

Bai Yu endured the sadness and remained silent.He didn't know whether he should be thankful that his mother and concubine didn't choose to leave with Qizheng, causing the whole family to die, or should feel sorry for their lifelong regret.

Li Zheng stretched out his hand to embrace Bai Yu, with a sad face, "Li Guang, you are the only son of the person I love the most, and I live for you in this life. We sold off your birthday gift, and we have made up most of the money for recruiting soldiers and horses." , the rest your grandfather will provide you—in fact, you have met him, he was one of the two masters I invited to teach you. These days, weapons, guns, powder, horses, equipment, They have already entered the city through secret channels. The only thing we lack is soldiers, and Ye Luo will lend you [-], but it is still too little. This is where I worry."

Bai Yu was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Master's 17 years of planning not only achieved this, but also cut off my escape route. Now, no one in Dazhou knows that King Liang and Ye Luo have colluded for a long time, intending to rebel. More What's more, these are true, and I can't refute them. Now that the yellow robe is added to my body, I will oppose it if I oppose it, or I will oppose it if I don't."

There was a flash of shame in Qianzheng's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, "I used to be just a scholar who failed in the rankings. Seeing that my sweetheart has become the most favored concubine, I don't even have the qualifications to compete. I am so poor." It took me a lifetime to understand that everything is unreliable, only the supreme power in this world... I was born without this opportunity, but you are completely different..."

"Brother Huang treats me well!"

"He should have treated you like this! Because his throne belongs to you! You don't have to feel guilty, you just take back your own things!"

Bai Yu lowered her head and said nothing.

Qianzheng's tone was a little bewitching, "Li Guang, you have to remember that it was the queen mother who forced your mother, concubine and brother to death, and robbed you of everything, making you lonely since childhood. But even so, she She still refuses to let you go, and will kill you several times. Why does this poisonous woman live so happily?! You know that it is impossible for the emperor to announce to the world that he is going to kill his own mother. Then, who else Can I avenge you?"
