Crown Prince's Counterattack

East Palace

"His Royal Highness, Your Majesty's bedroom has been surrounded by His Majesty's people. Our people can't get in at all now. We still don't know what's going on inside. What should we do next?"

The person who came came in a hurry, with a look of urgency.

"It seems that the news of Liu Yang's being robbed has been leaked. Father is forcing him to be orphaned! Sigh, they are also sons, father is so biased..."

Sima Yi shook his head and sighed, his self-deprecating tone was only his own sigh, you see, as soon as something happened to this person, he immediately turned his suspicions on himself, the closeness and distance are obvious, now that Guo Shengtong is under control, there is no way One is not a warning to himself, but Liu Xiu only expected one thing wrong, that is, he is not Liu Jiang, and the importance of Guo Shengtong in his heart is far less than what Liu Xiu predicted.

"Your Highness, should we do it in advance?"

Although they are also worried about the Queen's safety, they are loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince is safe, everything is not too bad.

"No...it's still too early, let's see what the father will do next?"

Sima Yi vetoed this proposal, now is not the most appropriate time, but as soon as his words fell, the eunuch's voice came from outside the door.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty ordered to summon you"

"Lone knows"

Sima Yi smiled knowingly, it seemed that Liu Xiu was losing his composure.

"What happened to the father, why did you block the queen mother's bedroom?"

Sima Yi rushed into the room angrily and questioned, which made Liu Xiu a little bit unresponsive. He originally wanted to preemptively strike, but he was reversed by someone, but he reacted quickly.

"The study room is so noisy and noisy! What about your etiquette, don't you need to salute when you see me?"

Liu Xiu patted the desk heavily, and looked at Sima Yi with a gloomy face.

"Father forgives the sin, but the son is just too worried about the mother"

Sima Yi's tone immediately softened, and his expression showed some grievances at the right time, which made Liu Xiu wonder how to proceed.If the prince continues to argue with him, he has an excuse to reprimand the prince for being unfilial and disobedient, but now the prince has lowered his attitude. If he still insists on it, he will appear to be unkind. He gave Sima Yi a hard look.

"Yesterday, I got the news that there was an accident on the march and Yang'er disappeared!"

Liu Xiu's tone seemed a bit powerless. He sent Liu Yang out this time. Because he was worried about his safety, he specially sent a lot of confidantes to protect him. He was afraid that someone would attack him secretly. Still had an accident.

"What?! An accident happened?! Who did it? It's really daring!"

Sima Yi's eyes widened suddenly, his face was in disbelief, and his expression was mixed with shock and anger. Liu Xiu, who had been paying attention to Sima Yi, didn't see anything wrong, but the more sincere Sima Yi acted, the more suspicious he became.

When Liu Xiu received the news from his confidants, his immediate reaction was that the prince was doing something in it, in order to solve a serious problem in his confidant. Liu Xiu also knew that he had some preference for Lihua's children, but he didn't expect that This villain was so bold, without any evidence, Liu Xiu believed that the prince did it, and immediately decided to seal up Queen Guo's bedroom, threatening the prince to hand him over.

What's more, in Liu Xiu's heart, what outsiders don't understand is that since he was tricked by Sima Yi last time, and this time he was able to succeed when he sent out so many people, such means are deeply rooted. Let Liu Xiu fear.He didn't know when the prince would make a move next time, and what method he would use, so Liu Xiucai wanted to turn passive into active.

"The fourth brother is really pitiful. Before leaving, the son-in-law told him to bring more troops for safety. It seems that the fourth brother is a little careless this time."

As if he didn't see Liu Xiu's ugly face, Sima Yi still said to himself, wishing to stab more knives in Liu Xiu's heart, these words stopped in Liu Xiu's ears, undoubtedly became a mockery, And it was blatant, which made Liu Xiu very annoyed, and he decided that this was the prince's provocation to him.

"Father, why don't you send more troops to find out the fourth brother as soon as possible, otherwise there will be changes later!"

Sima Yi suggested sincerely, with deep worry on his expression, fully showing brotherly love, but Liu Xiu never looked at Sima Yi with the slightest warmth in his eyes.

"That's enough. You don't need to act in front of me anymore. Did you do something to your fourth brother? If so, send your fourth brother back quickly, otherwise... don't blame me for not thinking of father and son!"

Liu Xiu finally lost all his patience. He doesn't have any evidence in his hand now, but the prince will definitely not admit it, so he can only use this method to press the prince, but Sima Yi is not an easy way to save money.

"Father, what do you mean, do you think it is..."

Sima Yi's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, he looked at Liu Xiu with a bit of despair, and said slowly.

"My son understands, is that why you locked up the queen mother?"

The brilliance in Sima Yi's eyes instantly dimmed, and he looked at Liu Xiu blankly, feeling ashamed. Looking at Sima Yi like this, Liu Xiu felt that he was too cruel, maybe... But he quickly He comforted himself that this was another scene directed by the crown prince, Liu Xiu's gaze became cold again, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes when he looked at Sima Yi, which made Sima Yi fully understand what it means to be ruthless.

"But it won't help if you do this, because the son has never done these things at all"

Sima Yi sighed and shook his head, feeling helpless.

Liu Xiu's expression was ugly. He didn't expect to hear such an answer. Could it be that Empress Guo is not enough to restrain this child? Thinking of this, Liu Xiu felt that some things were out of his control, and he began to become irritable.

"He's your younger brother! Do you really want to force me to attack you!"

Liu Xiu threatened that no matter what Sima Yi said, he would only regard him as sophistry, and there was obvious impatience in Liu Xiu's tone.

"Since the father doesn't believe it, my son has nothing to say, but you will definitely regret it."

After speaking, Sima Yi gave Liu Xiu a pitiful look, his eyes were complicated.

"Fourth younger brother has an accident, father must be very busy now, son-in-law will leave first."

After saying these words, before Liu Xiu could react, Sima Yi left the unit without looking back.

Liu Xiushang was still thinking about what Sima Yi said that he would regret it, and then he saw Sima Yi's leaving back, and he was so angry that he didn't think about anything else.

This rebellious son, does he still have his father in his eyes? Liu Xiu deeply felt that his authority as an emperor and as a father had been challenged at the same time. Opportunity, to win the confidant in one fell swoop.

AD 41

A post-abolition summons suddenly shocked the ruling and opposition parties.

"The empress is stubborn and resentful. She has violated the teaching order several times. She can't follow her son and train the elders. If you see eagles and hawks in the palace, you don't have the virtue of "Guan Ju", but you have the style of Lu and Huo. How can you rely on it? Young orphans, respectfully inherit the Ming Dynasty. Today I send Da Situ She and Zong Zhengji to hold the festival, and put the queen's seal on them. The good family in the village of Yin nobles belongs to my humble family. "I have not seen myself, and it will be three years now." It is suitable to worship the ancestral temple for the world Mother. The master details the old scriptures, and is honored at the time. Abnormal things are not a blessing for the country, and they cannot be celebrated on a birthday."

Although Queen Guo was a bit domineering, what was said in the summoning letter was exaggerated, and Lu Huo was even farther apart. All the ministers speculated that it was because His Majesty had accumulated grievances for many years, and the two had been at odds for a long time.However, in recent years, there have been rumors in the palace that His Majesty dotes on the noble man and neglects Queen Guo, so the abolition of the queen is not obvious. Compared with the established facts, more people focus on the East Palace. After all, there is an abolished mother. I am afraid that the position of the crown prince is a little unstable now. Many people's thoughts are coming alive. If the crown prince is abolished, and Liu Yang, the king of the East China Sea, is also missing, then it will be the next turn... …

After Sima Yi received the news, he smiled coldly. It seems that Liu Xiu is really going to get serious this time, but with the power he has now, he is not afraid.

Liu Xiu had prepared the imperial decree for abolishing the empress a few years ago. It was enough to see that Liu Xiu had already made a decision about abolishing the empress in his heart.The prince's performance in the court these years is really impressive. Even if Liu Xiu deliberately finds faults, he can't find the fatal faults. On the contrary, he has accumulated a lot of background. This is something Liu Xiu can do nothing about.The assassination not only did not allow Liu Xiu to find an opportunity to abolish the prince, but instead allowed the prince to win a lot of popular support among the people. His many years of calculations turned into dust, which made Liu Xiu have to be cautious in his future actions.Simply the crown prince is not an impenetrable wall. Liu Xiu can't find the fault of the crown prince, but the fault of Queen Guo is obvious. Liu Xiu didn't want to do this for the sake of husband and wife for many years, but Liu Yang's incident made him He was a bit confused, and Liu Xiu gave up Guo Shengtong, who had been with him for many years, after choosing between choices. It has to be said that it is a kind of irony.

Now that the empress has been abolished, and the position of the crown prince has also been questioned, as long as he adds more fire, the overall situation will be settled. The wish for many years is finally coming true. Liu Xiu is very satisfied with the result. It will anger Sima Yi, but Liu Xiu has already subconsciously ignored it. The most important thing now is to bring down the Guo family and the prince. No one can threaten his imperial power. If the fourth son really cannot come back safely, Liu Xiu can only When he was destined to be so.
