Crown Prince's Counterattack

"Your Majesty, it's not good, something serious happened!"

The servant hurried into the hall with an anxious look on his face.

"Cao Taiwei is leading a large number of officials to gather outside the Meridian Gate, hoping that His Majesty will allow them to meet the Supreme Emperor..."

"Ridiculous!"

Sima Yi sneered, did they think that doing so would make him afraid?How naive...

A large number of officials headed by Cao Zhen were single-handedly promoted by Liu Xiu, and they are naturally loyal to him. Do you want to put pressure on him through public opinion?Sima Yi had to admit that this was a good idea, but unfortunately, he didn't agree with it.If I had known today, since I had already chosen to surrender under the sword at that time, what is the point of such stubborn resistance now?

What's more, the public opinion among the people is not only aimed at him. Although his behavior of forcing the palace to seize the throne is somewhat criticized, many people feel that this is also what he was forced to do.Because everyone understands that his position as the crown prince has been lost for no apparent reason, and Sima Yi's many years of arrangements have not been in vain, which makes him greatly relieved. Some of the gains outweigh the losses.But in a few years, when the common people get used to his rule, who will remember Liu Xiu, the outdated emperor, so what Sima Yi lacks now is time.

Sima Yi still remembered the hatred and unwillingness in Liu Xiu's eyes when he was taken away. He thought that Liu Xiu also understood this truth. Perhaps in a few years, who would care about him, an old man locked up in a deep palace? He will be recorded in the history books with a very disgraceful ending, which is the greatest cruelty for Liu Xiu who has always cherished feathers very much.

It is undeniable that when all the dust finally settled, Sima Yi really let go of the burden in his heart, and he removed the sharp sword hanging over his head. Perhaps there was no lack of lucky opportunities in the process, but it was also his The result of years of planning.

He single-handedly designed Liu Yang's disappearance in order to provoke Liu Xiu to issue an imperial edict to abolish the crown prince. When Liu Yang returned safely, the original imperial edict became the reason for Sima Yi to force the palace.When everyone focused their attention on the newly appointed prince Liu Yang, he, who had been outdated for a long time, was naturally left out, and he naturally started his final plan.

The canonization of the prince is a major matter related to the stability of the country, and the etiquette and details are particularly prudent, so from the day when the edict was promulgated, the palace began to prepare early, and Sima Yi also took advantage of the busiest time in the palace. Constantly recruiting staff.Sima Yi has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, the so-called money can turn ghosts, these wealth have given him a lot of help, bought a lot of hearts for him, and bought a lot of servants.The part he gave to Zhang You allowed him to obtain a large number of troops in a short period of time, which was a real benefit.In addition to lures, intimidation is also indispensable for those who cannot be moved, and people have more or less weaknesses.

But these were all things he ordered others to do early on. Sima Yi knew very well that Liu Xiu had been paying attention to his actions.So for a long period of time after being deposed, he honestly read and wrote in his new mansion, very stable, and this dispelled most of Liu Xiuyi's wariness.When the day came when the crown prince was canonized, the group of people Sima Yi sent into the palace changed into band or guard clothes, and entered the inner hall together with all the civil and military officials.At the same time, another group of Sima Yi's people also sneaked into the palace under the care of Neiying, and took control of the whole situation.Once Liu Xiu is under control, the army guarding outside the city will no longer be a threat.

The reason for choosing this day is not only because of Sima Yi's mentality of wanting to see a good show, but more importantly, it is always easy to dispel people's vigilance on a festive day. The presence of civil and military officials gave Sima Yi a chance to catch them all. In order to ensure that there are no accidents.More importantly, Liu Xiu would never have imagined that his most trusted head of guards was Liu Yang's backhand for him back then, but he didn't have time to activate this pawn, and it became the key to Sima Yi's success today.That's why when Liu Xiu saw the sharp blade on his neck, he almost didn't react.

"Order, let the guards drive those people away"

"promise"

The servant raised his foot and was about to leave, but he heard Sima Yi suddenly stop him.

"Wait! If they still refuse to leave, then—kill!"

"promise!"

The servant's voice trembled slightly. Although the cold killing intent was not directed at him, it made his heartbeat stop for a moment.

#************

Futai Palace

The huge palace is resplendent and resplendent. The inner pillars of the main hall are engraved with circles, lifelike dragon and phoenix patterns, exquisite and charming. This magnificent palace has now become the residence of Liu Xiu after he abdicated, just to make some superficial decorations. Kungfu, Sima Yi will definitely not treat Liu Xiu badly. The meals delivered every day are better than those used by Liu Xiu when he was the emperor, but Sima Yi thinks that Liu Xiu will not be in the mood to experience it. These.

"Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine..."

Even though Liu Xiu is no longer the emperor, Yin Lihua is still used to calling this man like this. She thinks he likes to call him like this, because apart from this, there is nothing to prove his original glory.

Yin Lihua walked in holding a white porcelain bowl that was still steaming. The sound of small footsteps could be clearly heard in the empty hall. Liu Xiu, who was lying tightly on the bed, became excited and her eyes widened. Yes, he wanted to sit up but couldn't do anything, his body trembled slightly because of the excessive tension.But Yin Lihua didn't seem to notice, she sat gracefully beside the bed, her gentle eyes fell on the man in front of her, with a faint smile on her face.

All the maids and eunuchs in the hall retreated. It was the setting sun at this time, the hall was dark and dark, and there was a gloomy coldness in the majestic palace.

"Your Majesty, do you want to sit up? Why bother? It's just a waste of effort..."

Yin Lihua held the handle of the spoon with her right hand, and stirred the Chinese medicine in the bowl. The strong aroma of the Chinese medicine overflowed. Yin Lihua never took her eyes off the medicine bowl, and the smile on her face gradually turned into a malicious one. ridicule.

Hearing these words, Liu Xiu's eyes were full of anger, but now he couldn't speak, let alone move, and could only look at Yin Lihua with hatred.

No one knows why Liu Xiu suddenly had a stroke, but it doesn't matter who is behind his hands and feet, the meaning of his existence is only to survive. The only thing that makes Liu Xiu feel lucky is that they saved the last breath for him. A little dignity.

"Your Majesty looks very angry, but it's not as desperate as my concubine was back then..."

The smile on Yin Lihua's face faded instantly, and her eyes gradually turned cold.

"..."

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, he wanted to question Yin Lihua, but he couldn't open his mouth now, and Yin Lihua was also immersed in his own thoughts at this time, with worried eyes.

"And it's all because of you, because of your ambition, that made me the biggest joke in my life"

"Why do you marry Yin Lihua when you marry a wife?! I wish you never said that!"

Yin Lihua felt very sad, if the story hadn't been so beautiful at the beginning, perhaps she wouldn't have so much hatred in her heart now...

"Demoting my wife into a concubine, this is what you did to me. Originally, my children were supposed to be dignified sons-in-law, but because of your selfishness, they fell into such an embarrassing status. I don't hate Guo Shengtong, because she is just as good as you are." You are a poor woman who is used by you, the only person I hate is you, and your never-ending ambition"

"Do you think I don't know? During the time when Yang'er was missing, did you want to give up on him! A person like you is not worthy of being a husband, let alone a father!"

"..."

The anger in Liu Xiu's eyes gradually calmed down. He looked at Yin Lihua with a look of sadness, and suddenly felt strange when he saw this hysterical woman in front of him. She had lived with him for many years, and he had always regarded her as a Wife woman?Although he has indeed done many things that are sorry to her, the person he loves is always her, so for so many years he has always wanted her to take back everything she deserves, but now she tells herself that for so many years, she has always resented him Yes... Liu Xiu couldn't accept such a fact. As for Yang'er, he had no choice but to choose. She should understand him...

"It seems that you still don't understand, but it doesn't matter, we still have many years, I will not leave you, I will always be with you..."

Understanding the puzzlement and disbelief in Liu Xiu's eyes, Yin Lihua, who was on the verge of collapse, suddenly calmed down, the corners of her mouth suddenly raised, and she looked as gentle and amiable as usual, but her eyes were more filled with What is more is indifference.The medicinal soup in the white porcelain bowl had already cooled down. Under Liu Xiu's eyes of disgust and refusal, she served Liu Xiu to drink it with her own hands as if she didn't see it, her movements were extremely gentle.

Now she has nothing. She has suppressed her inner hatred for so many years, endured humiliation, and Xiaoyi served this man tenderly, just to get everything back one day, but now it is meaningless, this man did not hold on Everything that should have belonged to their mother and child, but Yin Lihua believes that with His Majesty's heart now, he should not embarrass her children too much, and now that she is trapped in the deep palace, she is powerless to do anything. The days are still so long, she will not be able to leave here after all, so in the days to come, it is time for Liu Xiu to pay her back...
