In the solemn and solemn Zhengyuan Hall, Emperor Yu sat high in the middle, with a large table in front of him. On the left and right sides of it were stacked piles of bamboo slips like hills. A memorial to be reviewed.

Because Luo Chi and Wei Yuan were summoned, Emperor Yu temporarily stopped reviewing the memorial, sat upright on the couch, and unconsciously kneaded his right wrist with one hand.In his early battles, his right wrist was injured. Although the injury healed, the root of the disease remained. The right wrist should not be overworked. Fortunately, other things were done by the palace servants, but it was impossible for others to do the reading of the memorial. Yes, although the bamboo slips are not heavy, the thick volume is still heavy. The memorials he has to review every day are as many as two carts. As time goes by, it also puts a lot of burden on the right hand, and the pain is getting worse day by day .

However, Emperor Yu is used to it, and now he doesn't take it to heart. He just kneaded his painful right wrist habitually, then looked up at Luo Chi and Wei Yuan who stood respectfully in the hall after saluting, and said He asked: "The two of you have been at the border for several years, and you have gone deep into the enemy's camp several times during the campaign. You know that Beidi is surrounded by the national conditions of various countries. This time, the envoys come to offer tribute to seek peace. What do you think?"

Old General Wei was too old to fight on the battlefield, and these young generals would lead troops to fight in the future, so Emperor Yu wanted to hear their opinions.

Luo Chi heard the words and said wildly: "The country of ants can be smashed with an army."

Wei Yuan looked more modest, thought for a while before answering: "Ants shake the tree, we have to guard against it. Our country has been fighting for many years, and the treasury is empty. We might as well make friends and ministers first, and send envoys to patrol the countries to see if there is any disobedience." Heart, let’s make a conclusion.”

Although Luo Chi was a reckless man, he was not completely lacking in brains. When he heard the words, he immediately said: "The minister seconded the proposal, and took the initiative to invite Ying to be an envoy to show the country's prestige."

After saying that, Luo Chi bowed his hands and knelt down to beg for orders.

Wei Yuan also knelt down and begged for orders.

Hearing this, Emperor Yu was very satisfied with the two of them, he laughed and said: "You two lovers, let's get up first, this matter is not urgent, envoys from various countries are still on their way to court, and we will make a conclusion later."

After Emperor Yu's words fell, a young eunuch quietly entered from outside the hall, saluted Emperor Yu and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Your Highness the Third Prince is outside the door to see you."

When Emperor Yu heard that Luo Jingyao had come, he was even more delighted, and immediately raised his hand and said, "Quickly send him in."

The little eunuch hurriedly responded, bowed and ran out quickly.

After a while, Luo Jingyao brought the little maid into the Zhengyuan Palace. Emperor Yu had a smiling face, but when he saw the maid who brought in the cup of five flowers, his face instantly sank.

Luo Jingyao first stepped forward to salute: "I will see my father."

"Don't be too polite."

Emperor Yu waved his hand directly, shouted, then frowned at Luo Jingyao and asked, "Yao'er, what's going on?"

Wei Yuan and Luo Chi were also puzzled. They didn't understand why Luo Jingyao's face was tied up with a disheveled palace lady with a runny nose like a cold.

In fact, Luo Jingyao pretended to be innocent and said: "Reporting to my father, I don't know what's going on. It stands to reason that I have just entered the palace and I shouldn't have offended anyone. I don't know why this palace lady is serving Zhao today. She was sneaky during the meal, and Erchen saw that she looked strange, so he ordered someone to search, and finally found these things under her bed, and ordered someone to feed her. She gave Erchen and Ah today. Yan's milk, she suddenly became like this when she was alone, my son didn't know the reason, and he didn't dare to make a decision in private, so he brought her here to be dealt with by the emperor."

When Emperor Yu heard the words, his face darkened instantly, and he shouted loudly: "Send the imperial physician here, and let me investigate!"

Wei Yuan and Luo Chi also changed their faces instantly when they heard the words, Wei Yuan was worried about Luo Jingyao, judging from the situation, he didn't need to tell the imperial physician, he could guess what was going on.

Luo Chi was filled with rage and fear, because his first thought was Chen Jie and King Chang.

Several imperial physicians came quickly under orders. First, they diagnosed the maid's symptoms and concluded that it was unintentionally caused by wind and cold. Then they checked the medicine repeatedly and concluded that it was not from the territory of Yu Kingdom. They didn't know What does this medicine do.However, it is not difficult to know what the medicine does. One of the imperial physicians ordered someone to mix the medicine with food and feed it to the livestock, and soon he developed the same symptoms as the palace lady, which proved that the palace lady was not infected. Wind-cold is caused by medicine.

Naturally, Emperor Yu would not think that this was just the work of a little maid, and immediately yelled at the little maid: "The lowly maid actually murdered my prince, who told you to do this?"

When Emperor Yu asked questions, naturally he could no longer gag the maid's mouth. Even if someone stepped forward and took out the white cloth that was covering the maid, the maid was already frightened with tears and snot all over her face, and knelt down tremblingly. The ground choked up and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, the slaves did not do so voluntarily. The slaves were coerced by Concubine Xian."

But she was dishonest when she was about to die. Also, if she confessed honestly, how could the people behind the scenes spare his relatives.It's just that this matter was brought up in front of Emperor Yu, even if he didn't confess honestly, his relatives would still not be able to escape, besides, Emperor Yu was not a fool.

He can believe that Concubine De never murdered Empress Wuxian because Concubine De and Empress Wuxian have always been in love with each other as sisters. I can't bear it, I feel the same way.But what is this court lady, it is absolutely impossible to deceive Emperor Yu by just saying a few words.

Emperor Yu laughed angrily when he heard the words: "Okay, what a loyal dog slave! Come and take him down and torture him severely. Another lowly servant murdered the prince. It is an unforgivable crime, and I will punish the nine clans!"

The palace lady's eyes widened suddenly, and she cried out excitedly: "It's the lieutenant, the lieutenant and the concubine Shu ordered the servant to do it, the emperor doesn't want it, I beg the emperor to spare the life of the servant's relatives, this matter is all done by the servant alone." Because, it has nothing to do with them!"

Emperor Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, and frowned slightly.

Chen Jie is also highly regarded by him now, and he also made great contributions in suppressing the barbarians this time. Emperor Yu trusted him very much. The concubines and concubines are very friendly. Although there was a sliver of doubt in their hearts when they heard the words, they didn't believe it too much. It was just that the maid was biting others in order to save her own clan.

The court lady also saw that Emperor Yu couldn't believe him easily, so she immediately continued: "If you don't believe me, the emperor can ask Wang Wei, the guard of the East Sixth Palace, that the medicine bag was given to the servants by him, and he belongs to Lord Lieutenant." .”

When Emperor Yu heard the words, he immediately ordered to arrest Wang Wei, but it turned out that Wang Wei had hanged himself in the room and died, leaving a confession letter, telling that he had a grudge against the former empress and Chen Zhongwei, and wanted to poison him. The dead third prince then planted the blame on Chen Zhongwei. Finally, his conscience realized that he remembered Chen Zhongwei's contribution to defending his family and the country, let go of the resentment towards Chen Zhongwei in his heart, and apologized with death.

Luo Jingyao listened to the little eunuch read the suicide note, and twitched the corners of his lips ironically. If he wanted to say that King Chang's methods were sharper and bolder than that of King Cheng, but he was too conceited, reckless and impulsive, and did not understand the importance of people's hearts. Did he think it was over?

"My Majesty, I can testify that this person is Lord Lieutenant's subordinate. He has no enmity with Lord Lieutenant, and even Lord Lieutenant has some kindness towards him. He was seriously injured once in the battle against the barbarians. It was only after the lieutenant ordered someone to support him that he saved his life from the enemy camp. The battle at that time was very dangerous, and only nine people survived, except for the minister and the lieutenant, and six others. It must be reused by the lieutenant."

Luo Chi suddenly knelt down and spoke, suing Chen Jie. No one had thought of this. Emperor Yu was shocked, and Wei Yuan was also shocked. He knew that Luo Chi belonged to Chen Jie.

Only Luo Jingyao was not surprised. He had been with the three Luo family brothers day and night for more than ten years. In terms of understanding of these three brothers, Chen Jie was far behind him. If Chen Jie harmed him, perhaps all the three Luo family brothers They would turn a blind eye, but once Luo Yan was involved, he would be Ni Lin, and it would be death. This time, no matter what happens to King Chang in the future, Luo Chi will no longer be loyal to him.

Although Wei Yuan didn't know why Luo Chi suddenly rebelled, since Luo Chi had rebelled, he naturally had no reason not to follow suit, and he hadn't avenged the deaths of dozens of soldiers back then.

"My Majesty, I also have something to say. In the first battle to pacify the barbarians, I led the soldiers over the steep mountains and was ambushed and attacked by bandits. The bandits once said that someone spent a hundred thousand yuan to kill us. At that time, my father There have been investigations, and there are clues that the people of the lieutenant have contacted those bandits, but there is no definite evidence, and I don't know why the lieutenant acted like this, and finally nothing happened. Now that I think about it carefully, I couldn't help being a little startled, why did the Lieutenant spend a hundred thousand dollars, even disregarding the country's war, and wanted my life, if it wasn't collaborating with the enemy and treason, or there were some of us who made him think that the hundred thousand dollars and the war were more important People, and the unidentified Third Prince happened to be among them."

How could Emperor Yu not understand, he was really angry now, why did he love Chong and Chen Jie?Wasn't it because of his hard work in defending his family and country on the battlefield, but now someone told him that Chen Jie disregarded the country's war and the people of his family and country in order to murder his exiled prince? How could he not be angry, his face was red with anger, his neck was thick, and he immediately arrested Chen Jie and the six people Luo Chi mentioned, and investigated the matter.

And Jiang Qin happened to be among the six people mentioned by Luo Chi, and the result can be imagined. Naturally, he didn't need to be tortured, and he sold Chen Jie with all his heart, including how he had been in the army all these years He also explained the murder of Luo Jingyao by every means.

Emperor Yu was furious, except for Jiang Qin's accusation of Chen Jie's meritorious service, and someone under the name of Luo Jingyao interceding for him, the rest of them beheaded Chen Jie in public, and everyone in the court felt in danger for a while.

Because Luo Jingyao was also busy at this time, Shenlong couldn't see his end, Luo Jingyao was busy, and Luo Yan was also busy, busy improving his papermaking skills.

In such a short time, the celebration of Luo Jingyao’s recognition of his ancestors and returning to his clan passed. Because Emperor Yu was very satisfied with Luo Jingyao’s name taboo, he felt that Jingyao symbolized the prosperity of Yu’s country, so he didn’t think about anything else. The choice of the name was just to adopt the surname of the country, officially changed his name to Li Jingyao, and was canonized as King Xiang, and ten counties of Zhaoyang were enfeoffed to honor his merits and comfort his suffering.

The ten counties of Zhaoyang occupy two out of ten of the territory of Yu Kingdom, and they are the most prosperous and prosperous. An ordinary prince is only one or two counties. But no one dared to speak.For a while, Li Jingyao, the newly conferred king of Xiang, was in the limelight in Yu State.

However, on the second day after King Xiang was crowned, the urgent limelight passed, and Luo Chi hurriedly found an excuse to enter the palace to find Luo Yan.

At that time Luo Yan was still baking paper in the kitchen of Pingyang Palace, when he heard Luo Chi came looking for him, he immediately handed over the work at hand to the little eunuch on the side, and ran out happily.

"Second brother!"

As soon as Luo Yan came out of the kitchen, he saw Luo Chi waiting in the yard, and immediately yelled and flew towards him.

Seeing Luo Yan, Luo Chi, who had been frowning for a long time, finally couldn't help showing a smile. He caught Luo Yan firmly, looked down at him carefully for a moment, and said, "Well, it looks pretty good, I haven't lost weight."

Luo Yan responded immediately with a smile: "Fourth brother feeds me so much meat every day, it's no wonder I'm thin."

Upon hearing Li Jingyao's words, the smiling face on Luo Chi's face instantly sank, and he immediately frowned and said, "Ayan, he is King Xiang now, not your fourth brother, do you understand? You can no longer stay with him." I’m by your side, I’ve discussed it with my elder brother and told you to pretend to be sick, and we’ll find a way to get you out of the palace.”

At that time, King Xiang Li Jingyao was also on his way back to the palace. Li Yi followed him and whispered angrily: "It's a pity that we only moved to Chen Jie, and both concubine Shu and King Chang are just such insignificant things as confinement and fines. Small punishment."

Li Jingyao was not very annoyed. Finally, he was busy for a while and had more time. He was in a rare good mood and walked quickly towards the palace. Hearing the words, he said nonchalantly: "Mr. Chen is a hero who founded the country, with flourishing branches and leaves. Wanting to get rid of him is not a one-day effort. The father has just cut Cheng Enhou, and for the sake of the government, he will not make any big moves for the time being. Once Chen Jie dies, the power will fall. At this moment."

The two of them walked to the gate of Pingyang Palace. Hearing the words, Li Yi also breathed a sigh of relief when he thought that the position of lieutenant now falls to Wei Yuan, which means that the entire Yangcheng is under their control. He nodded and smiled: " What the master said is very true."

As a result, he just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the master who was walking in front suddenly stop, and the relaxed and happy atmosphere around him was also swept away.
