Crown Prince's Counterattack

Jinwu

Marry a wife like Yin Lihua

Tears in the pepper house

Make wedding clothes for others.

A doggerel spread wildly in Luoyang City overnight, in the streets, wine shops, alleys and alleys, all the things about Liu Xiu's uprising were revealed. Of course, the people are most concerned about the emperor's romantic history. This dispute between Guo and Yin has been going on for a long time. However, what he never expected was that Yin Lihua, who had retired to the noble position back then, would become the final winner. Sure enough, the emperor's favorite is still the person he admired since he was a teenager.

Along with these things, the recent assassination in the Emperor's Garden is indispensable. No one would doubt that His Royal Highness would do such a stupid thing. After all, it was too obvious. The people shook their heads and sighed. It must be planned by someone. , many people think that it is the yin noble who is deeply favored by the emperor. After all, the crown prince has been abolished, and her son will be the first to take the throne. No matter from which point of view, it is reasonable.Some people couldn't help but think that maybe the emperor himself directed and performed the assassination, so the last bit of injury was not injured, and all the assassins testified against the prince. It is hard to accept that today's emperor actually framed his eldest son for a woman.

But some people think that this is the prince's conspiracy, just to gamble on the possibility that he, the prince, will be able to take the throne justifiably after the emperor's death. As a result, as soon as he said this, he was immediately despised by the people around him. Is poison even more effective than assassination in broad daylight? !

All in all, the vast majority of people still think that the prince was framed for the purpose of fighting for the throne. Over the years, there have been rumors among the people that the prince spends extravagantly and does not consider the suffering of the people. It was deliberately circulated by someone with a heart in order to smear the crown prince, His Royal Highness is so pitiful... The common people are a little bit embarrassed.

There was a lot of turmoil among the people, and there was a lot of discussion in the previous court. Today, the old officials represented by Zhang You went to investigate the case of Liu Xiu's assassination, to bring those with ulterior motives to justice, and to return the crown prince's innocence as soon as possible.The person who was referring to this ulterior motive was naturally obvious.Even the courtiers who have always supported Yin Lihua muttered, if it was really done by the nobleman Yin, this approach would be a bit stupid.This matter was discussed throughout the morning, and Liu Xiu's face was also gloomy all morning.

After the morning court, Liu Xiu rushed into the study with a livid face, and Zhou Jie followed behind with a worried expression on his face.

"It really makes no sense!"

Liu Xiu clapped his palms on the table, feeling upset. What happened in the early court has completely affected his mood today. Seeing how Zhang You and others treat me, it seems that they are forcing him to release the prince. They are extremely arrogant, which makes Liu Xiu Feeling that his majesty was being challenged, if he wasn't afraid of pulling his whole body, how could he easily let these people go.

"What do you want to say?"

After the morning court, the eunuch reported that Zhou Jie had something important to see him.

"Your Majesty, there has been a lot of discussion in the market about the prince's assassination of His Majesty recently, and the common people all suspect that the nobleman framed the Prince. If these rumors are allowed to continue, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to His Majesty's great affairs!"

Zhou Jie was ordered to be in charge of Luoyang city affairs, and he had to report to Liu Xiu in a timely manner no matter how big or small the incident was, it was not difficult to see Liu Xiu's trust in Zhou Jie from this point.

"Do you need me to investigate the source of this rumor and find out who spread the news behind it?"

Zhou Jie asked respectfully.

Hearing Zhou Jie's words, Liu Xiu laughed back angrily, making Zhou Jie unpredictable.

"Hehehe... No need, I already know who it is! It's a good way to put him to death and survive, even I have calculated it into it, he is worthy of being my good son!"

Liu Xiu's face was ugly, all the fog that covered him was cleared away, and all the doubts in his heart were answered.

It seems that this child has already guessed that he is going to attack him, so he plans to strike first. After performing this good show, his purpose is not to assassinate him at all, but to focus everyone's attention on him, so that he can Don't dare to act rashly.The purpose of such a good show full of mistakes and omissions is to get rid of his suspicions, and by the way, he also calculated others, which is really a good trick. Liu Xiu never expected that he would be able to do this.

Zhou Jie's eyes flashed, and he understood immediately. He couldn't help being a little curious about the prince, but it was more of a pity. His Majesty would not stop there.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

"Wait and see, all movements stop..."

Liu Xiu's voice was faintly helpless, obviously this time Sima Yi's actions really caught him off guard and made him fall into a passive state. Now that the people's hearts are standing in the East Palace, if he insists on going his own way, he may not be able to fall in the end What's better, it's better to suspend the action first, wait until the turmoil is over, and the people have a new topic, it's not too late for him to act, this time Sima Yi's actions also made Liu Xiu a little more vigilant, and his subsequent actions became more subtle stand up.

"promise!"

Zhou Jie cupped his hands and saluted, the next thing he had to do was to calm down those rumors in Luoyang City as soon as possible.

"Get out of the way, I want to see His Majesty!"

"You dog slave, you even dare to stop me, why don't you let me out of the way!"

Suddenly a woman's sharp voice came from outside the door, accompanied by the pleadings of the eunuchs, the conversation in the study came to an abrupt end.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first!"

Zhou Jie didn't need to think about who the woman who dared to scold the eunuch severely in the study was. He simply finished what he wanted to say, and decided to retreat with a wink.

Liu Xiu looked out the door, frowned, and waved to Zhou Jie. When the courtier saw this scene, Liu Xiu's face was very ugly.

When Zhou Jie walked out of the study, he happened to bump into Guo Shengtong who had barged in. Before he had time to salute, he watched her pass by him in a hurry, and his eyes didn't even give him half alms. The queen was very impatient, but this approach was unavoidably inappropriate. Zhou Jie shook his head. According to this temperament, it is no wonder that he has not been liked by His Majesty. Zhou Jie sighed and strode away.

Without the presence of a third party, the couple in the study were at war, Guo Shengtong had resentment in his eyes, and Liu Xiu was impatient.

"As a queen, there are no rules for trespassing in the important place of the study!!!"

"Liu Xiu, it's already at this time, don't mention any rules to me, let Jiang'er out quickly! Otherwise, I will never end with you!"

Guo Shengtong pointed at Liu Xiudao, his temperament was as hot and impulsive as ever.She passed out immediately after receiving the news, and when she woke up, she immediately found her. She absolutely did not believe that her child would do such rebellious things. People, actually attacking her child, for the sake of Jiang'er's crown prince, the more Guo Shengtong thought about it, the more angry she became, she would never let this couple of dogs and men get their wish.

Guo Shengtong's unruly behavior made Liu Xiu's face darken, and he was very annoyed. He hadn't been pointed at by anyone for many years. If it wasn't for the love of husband and wife for many years, why should he be so patient with her.

"I'm free to decide this matter, the queen doesn't need to say anything!"

Liu Xiu's tone was very impatient, he didn't want to explain so much to this lunatic woman, he just wanted her to leave earlier, but it's a pity that Guo Shengtong is not such an easy person to deal with.

"Bah! Liu Xiu, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You just want to use this opportunity to abolish Jiang'er's crown prince and let that woman's son become the crown prince, right? I, Guo Shengtong, tell you , don't be delusional, I will not make you happy even if I die!"

"Look at what you look like? How can you look like a mother in the world?!"

Liu Xiu's chest rose and fell, obviously very angry at Guo Shengtong's blunt words, and lost her posture when she got agitated.

"How come I don't look like a mother in the world, are you going to abolish me and make that woman a queen? Liu Xiu, this is what you really think!"

Guo Shengtong looked at Liu Xiu mockingly.

"I don't know what it means! There should be a limit to making trouble without reason!"

"Liu Xiu, you are ungrateful, don't forget, why did you marry me in the first place? If it weren't for my uncle, you would be just a marketer now. Where did you come from today? So now you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge? You are simply a little people!!!"

Liu Xiu's indifference made Guo Shengtong's suppressed emotions burst out suddenly, and even the eunuchs outside the door could hear the couple's argument.

"It's reversed, it's reversed, someone, hurry up and send the queen back!"

There was endless chill in Liu Xiu's eyes, and Guo Shengtong pointed out the things he didn't want to mention in his heart, making it difficult for him to keep his calm.

As soon as he slapped the table, the eunuchs who heard the sound rushed in and took the struggling Guo Shengtong away from the study.

"Liu Xiu, you are ungrateful!"

"You villain!!!"

"Jiang'er is innocent, I will never let you get what you want..."

Guo Shengtong's angry curses could still be heard from afar.

Liu Xiu sat down dejectedly, with a tired expression that she had never seen before.

East Palace

"How are things going?"

"Return to Your Highness, everything is fine"

"That's good……"

There was the sound of two people talking in low voices in the room.

"Your Highness, are you really going to be all right?"

Thinking of the rows of guards in front of the gate of the East Palace, so strict that even a bird could not fly in, and people patrolling the palace every day, he couldn't relax, but seeing His Highness's calm expression, he couldn't help it. It doesn't seem so worried anymore.

"Don't worry, it will be over soon"

Sima Yi, who seemed confident, was also worried. His chances of success in this risky act were still very high, and he believed that there would be a satisfactory result.
