Walking out of Princess Pingyang's mansion, Liu Che hunched over, and the clothes on his body wrapped him tightly. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't know who this person was at all.

The General's Mansion is still some distance away from the Princess' Mansion, and Liu Che, although not everyone knows everyone, but in such a day when the whole Chang'an is on guard, anyone who feels strange will probably be paid special attention to.

It was under such circumstances that Liu Che walked slowly towards the General's Mansion, in order not to be recognized by others, but also not to make people feel weird.

No matter how far the journey is, there will be an end point. At this moment, Liu Che is already standing at the gate of the General's Mansion. He knows that if he passes like this, he will definitely not even be able to enter the General's Mansion. He took a deep breath, and the corner of his mouth curled up Smiling: "Little brother, please tell the old general that I have a way to rescue the young master from prison."

Just this one sentence is enough to make these people pay more attention to Liu Che, so the person who was facing Liu Che just now said quickly: "Please wait a moment, I will report to the old general."

After Liu Che waited for a while, someone came out and invited him in, and Liu Che had already foreseen this kind of result.

In the lobby, Li Guangzheng was standing there. Seeing that Liu Che had arrived, he waved his hand to let the man go down. He waited until there were only two people left before he said, "Little brother, to be honest, I have already thought about Ling'er." There are many ways, but the queen mother has never let go, I don't know..."

Li Guang is Li Ling's grandfather. No matter when dealing with others or in public, he is a selfless person. He has never thought of using his status and power for personal gain. It was an innocent disaster, which made him feel that he should find a way to rescue Li Ling.

Liu Che took off those disguises, showed his true face in front of Li Guang, and said with a smile, "Old General, I wonder if you think I am capable of rescuing Li Ling?"

"Prince?!" Li Guang was stunned for a moment, then knelt down, "I didn't know the prince was coming, so I didn't meet him from afar. Please forgive my sin. My family's Linger is ignorant and didn't protect the prince well. It was the minister who taught him to frighten the prince. It doesn't matter, if the crown prince wants to punish, I am willing to take the punishment for Ling'er."

"Please get up, old general." Liu Che hurriedly helped Li Guang up, "The old general is the pillar of my court, and my father has always regarded the old general very highly, and Li Ling is not only innocent, but also has made great contributions. How can I do that?" Let the old general be punished."

As soon as Liu Che's words came out, Li Guang was stunned: "I don't know what the prince said? The minister got the news that Ling'er was imprisoned because he didn't protect the prince well, but the prince heard what the prince said. different."

Liu Che did not answer Li Guang immediately, but asked instead: "Who does the old general think the next emperor of my Han Dynasty should be?"

Li Guang didn't understand why, but he still replied: "Of course it is the crown prince. The crown prince was appointed by the previous emperor. The future emperor, I just don't know why the crown prince asked such a question?"

Liu Che sneered: "What if I tell the old general that someone plans to abolish me and make King Liang the emperor?"

After thinking for a while, Li Guang replied: "Since ancient times, the emperor has been appointed by the first emperor. If the crown prince has nothing to do and has not done anything harmful to the country or the people, then no one has the right to abolish the crown prince's status."

Liu Che didn't speak for a while, and when the silence lasted and Li Guang couldn't hold back, Liu Che said softly: "If I tell you that person is my imperial grandmother, and she imitated her ancestor What about the imperial edict?"

Seeing Li Guang's eyes widen with disbelief, Liu Che chuckled and said, "Don't worry, old general, I'm just joking." Seeing Li Guang finally heaving a sigh of relief, Liu Che He continued, "But it's true that the emperor's grandmother wanted to hand over the throne to King Liang. This time I came to the general's mansion for this purpose. I hope the old general can help."

Just for a moment just now, Li Guang seemed to have experienced a lot, and he looked a little tired. Sitting on the couch, he looked up at Liu Che: "I am a minister of the Han Dynasty, and it doesn't matter who the emperor is. If the prince can Let the minister feel that the prince is the only master, then the minister must do things for the prince well."

"Of course," Liu Che smiled lightly. He was familiar with Li Guang's temperament early in the morning, and picked up the imperial edict that he kept on his body. At that time, I will hand it over to Taishi Ling for verification, I only hope that the old general can cooperate with me, of course, when I ascend the throne, Li Ling must be the biggest hero."

Li Guang stood up and knelt down again: "I must obey the crown prince's orders. The Li family has been loyal to the royal family for generations. I only hope that my Li family will still have a place in the future battlefield."

This time, Liu Che did not stop Li Guang from kneeling down. The timing was different and the focus was different. He could not stop Li Guang from offering his allegiance, but Liu Che just smiled at Li Guang's question: "When the Xiongnu soldiers heard that the leader Even if the people who fought were members of the Li family, they would be scared out of their wits, old general, do you think I will let you all retreat like this?"

Liu Che's words mean that he will never let the Li family disappear like this in the future. Li Guang said: "Thank you, Prince, as long as I have a breath, I will be loyal to the prince."

It was already very late when he came out of the General's Mansion, and Liu Che had already discussed the next plan with Li Guang. He would arrive at the General's Mansion early tomorrow morning, and enter the palace with General Li Guang.

But at the Princess Mansion, the lights were brightly lit at this time, and no one slept very well that night, no matter what the reason was.

Palace

Empress Dowager Dou sat in the middle, King Liang stood aside respectfully, there was no court lady or eunuch serving, tonight was a long talk between the mother and son, no one was allowed to disturb.

"I said son, you are also my son, and you came out of my stomach just like your brother, but the status of the two of you is completely different. Your brother has been sitting in the highest position for so long, but you are no more. It’s just a prince with almost no status, your brother’s son is a prince, but your son is just an ordinary prince’s son, have you ever been unwilling?” Mrs. Dou said this passage expressionlessly from behind, no With the slightest emotion.

King Liang stood aside, unable to figure out what his mother was thinking, and he didn't know what he was probing when he mentioned such a topic at a time like today. Looking secretly at Queen Mother Dou's face, King Liang spoke deliberately: "Reporting to my mother, the emperor's throne was set by my father when he was still alive. This is what the emperor deserves. Without this life, my son and minister naturally dare not ask for anything extravagantly."

"You really have no ambition," Empress Dowager Dou said sullenly, "Your brother, your brother is dead, and tomorrow will be your brother's funeral, and you will be the emperor at that time, and, Shouldn't people have the idea of ​​climbing up?"

King Liang continued to observe Empress Dowager Dou. Although she seemed to be angry on the surface, because she was angry with him and had no ambition, he did not feel that she was angry. Through, whispered: "Mother, tomorrow morning is indeed the time for the son to ascend the throne, but it is the mother's favor that allows the son to have this opportunity. If there is no mother, the son will not have such a good opportunity."

"Well," Queen Mother Dou responded softly, "And then, if you really become the emperor, what will you think in the future? You won't have those weird thoughts like your brother, right? The idea of ​​fighting the Xiongnu, and no longer sending the princess to make peace, he clearly knows that the imperial court simply does not have the strength to confront the Xiongnu head-on all the time."

"What the queen mother said is very true." Liang Wang decided to follow the meaning of Queen Dowager Dou, "If you don't have the strength, even if you make a move, you may not win. It's just that the son is used to being a prince. If you let the son take on the responsibility all at once I am afraid that the responsibility of being an emperor is very difficult, and I will need my mother to give me a lot of guidance when the time comes."

King Liang tried his best to cater to Queen Mother Dou, and this time he finally flattered, and saw Queen Mother Dou with a satisfied smile on her face: "Actually, I am not a domineering person, but you little ones, sometimes you always do things like this." It's unsatisfactory and frizzy, and it would be better if I was watching beside you, wouldn't it?"

"What the queen mother said is absolutely right," Liang Wang finally figured out what the Queen Mother Dou was thinking, but she likes to control, and he has no problem at all. It is enough to be obedient, and this can be said to be more than enough for him, "I actually think so too. In this regard, the mother has more experience than the son. When the time comes, the son will definitely have a lot of things that the mother needs to point out. I just hope When the time comes, the queen mother just don't think that the son and minister are long-winded."

"Well, the queen mother will help you get acquainted." Queen Mother Dou is very satisfied. It is much better for an obedient son to be emperor than a disobedient grandson. Now she already has such a feeling, "Yes, Is the dragon robe ready?"

"Here, Empress Dowager..." King Liang didn't expect that Empress Dowager Dou would ask this question, and was overwhelmed by the question.

Queen Dowager Dou squinted sideways, and said leisurely: "If you do it, you will do it. Isn't this a normal thing, but you'd better wear a dragon robe tomorrow. It's a long night and dreams. Tomorrow everyone will be here. It's you who will be enthroned the most." Good time."

King Liang came to his senses in no time, and nodded quickly: "Empress Mother is thoughtful, and son understands, and I will deal with it when I get back. Empress Mother, son Chen will leave now."

"Okay," Empress Dowager Dou said with a smile, "today you are still the King of Liang, and tomorrow you will be the Emperor. I, the queen mother, will congratulate you here first, but after tomorrow, your every move will be judged." Pay attention, you must have the air of being an emperor."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your reminder." King Liang knelt down and then left. This night, everyone was preparing for tomorrow's event.
