[Ying Zheng + Dahan Emperor] Golden House
Chapter 53 Jealousy
Ying Zheng felt his neck wet, followed by something slippery and warm sliding back and forth on his neck, sometimes mixed with tingling pain.
This feeling made Yingzheng's whole body tense suddenly, mixed with the faint alcohol smell from the other party, his scalp was involuntarily numb, his body seemed to remember the "joy" at the Princess Pingyang Mansion that day, and he felt a tingling sensation Wave after wave came up from the tailbone.
Liu Che's hand tore his belt, Ying Zheng immediately felt bad, the current Ying Zheng is a man, although he is not as tall as Liu Chesheng, but he still has strength, especially Liu Che is drunk and has no rules , just to tear blindly.
Ying Zheng grabbed the opponent's wrist, trying to get Liu Che to drive away, but Liu Che seemed to be trying his best, ignoring Ying Zheng's obstruction, and still softly calling Gillian.
Ying Zheng heard his murmurs, his heart tightened suddenly, and he squeezed his hands. In addition, Liu Che was drunk, staggered a step back, and fell into the pond with a "plop".
The water in the pond was not deep, the deepest part was only one meter. Liu Che stood in the pond, the water was not even up to his chest, but the water was cold.
Liu Che was a little angry. After all, Ying Zheng was the first one who dared to push the emperor into the water. Besides, Chen Yu had always recommended himself a pillow mat to himself with a shy face. The last time he was in Princess Pingyang's mansion, he took advantage of his drunkenness to get naked. Flattery, but at this time he pretended to be noble.
Most importantly, Liu Che lost face. He was soaked in the water, and the water droplets rolled down the beads of the crown, making his hair stick to his face, not to mention the dragon robe on his body. Completely wet, how embarrassing it is.
As an emperor, who doesn't pay attention to face, Liu Che lost face, this is what makes him most angry.
When Liu Che looked up, the other party did not run away as expected. Liu Che thought that Chen Yu would run away if he did something wrong, but Chen Yu stood where he was, and gave him a cold look.
Liu Che's heart flickered, and it was inevitable that he was a little dazed. This look seemed so similar that he couldn't help being dazed again. He still remembered that when he was in Princess Pingyang's mansion, his hands strangled the other party's neck, and Chen Yu seemed to faint. But when he opened his eyes again, that kind of look made him feel impulsive.
He originally thought that Chen Yu and his sister Gillian were just similar in appearance, but at that time, Liu Che had a strange feeling that even their eyes were carved out of the same mold.
Liu Che soaked in the cold water, looking at Ying Zheng's eyes, he felt a little impulsive, and his throat tightened a little, but Ying Zheng didn't pay any attention to him, just gave Liu Che a cold look, then turned and left.
Although Liu Che felt that apart from his face, his eyes were somewhat similar to Chen Ajiao's, but this was far from enough to save his face.
The weather is still warming up, the lake is soaking in the dark sky, and it is inevitable to shiver when the wind blows. Liu Che sneezes, and there are no palace people around in the dark, but if Liu Che is willing to call someone, someone will definitely salvage him go up.
But Liu Che couldn't afford to lose this person, so he had to climb up from the pond with his hands. The dragon robe was very cumbersome, and it didn't sink as usual after being soaked in water.
Liu Che dusted off his robe, but he had been served all his life, so there was nothing he could do. He was a little helpless, and this time he was sober, so he walked back quickly. Fortunately, it was dark along the way, and no one was watching. Seeing him in such a mess.
Li Yan was kicked out by Liu Che, the first person who heard the news must be Li Yannian, Li Yan went to Li Yannian and cried, after all, she was a girl with a thin skin, it was a good thing in itself, but she was so unhappy.
For some reason, he provoked the emperor.
Li Yan didn't know which sentence she said wrong, and Li Yannian was also annoyed, so she sent away her crying sister, and just after sending Li Yan away, she saw Liu Che returning with a wet body.
When Li Yannian saw Liu Che like this, he hurried forward to meet him, knelt down and said, "Hey, Your Majesty, where have you been?"
Liu Che was upset and ignored him, and went straight forward. Seeing Liu Che's appearance, Chu Fu went to get clean clothes for him to change into.
Liu Che took off his wet clothes and changed into clean clothes before he felt a little better. Li Yannian looked at the emperor's expression and didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only stand respectfully.
Liu Che didn't say any more, and went to sleep after laying down, but he woke up from the dream in the middle of the night. He said that waking up was not bad at all, because he dreamed about Chen Jian. But it turned into Chen Yu.
Liu Che remembered those eyes, no matter when he was in Princess Pingyang's Mansion or just beside the pond, Liu Che could never forget those slightly indifferent eyes.
After finally dawning, after Liu Che washed up, he heard from Chu Fu that the Empress Dowager invited him to the East Palace.
Liu Che didn't know what the Queen Mother wanted to tell him. It was nothing more than that she wanted to promote someone, or wanted to reuse someone, or that the uncle's family had a large population and the house was not enough to live in, so she wanted to expand it. , what else can happen.
Although Liu Che was impatient, he had no choice but to ask someone to prepare a car and go to the East Palace.
When Liu Che arrived at the East Palace, he didn't see Tian Fu. The Queen Mother was sitting in the Fengzuo, with a kind look. When she saw Liu Che, she waved and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, come quickly."
Liu Che walked over and said hello to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother patted the side and motioned Liu Che to sit down.
Liu Che sat down, and the Queen Mother laughed again: "I heard... Chen Wu is going to die."
When Liu Che heard this, he didn't understand what the queen mother meant, but said: "Tang Yihou has been in poor health for the past few years."
The Queen Mother said: "I heard that Tang Yihou loves his eldest son Chen Xu very much, doesn't he?"
Liu Che said: "This son is unknown."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't you want to cut down the feudal clan recently? If the Marquis Chen Wu is gone, the eldest son Chen Xu will definitely inherit the throne. Mother has a good way..."
The Queen Mother likes to be in charge of political affairs, but most of them are just to increase Tian Fu's power. The Queen Mother will not want to shut down such things as cutting down the feudal clan.
In the eyes of the Queen Mother, cutting down the vassals will inevitably lead to major events. One more thing is worse than one less thing. It is better not to deal with these princes and kings, as long as they are properly appeased, it is enough. How to end.
So when she suddenly proposed a way to cut down the feudal clan, Liu Che was naturally skeptical, but his face remained calm, saying: "Mother has a good way, so my son will listen to it."
The Queen Mother said: "Think about it, the power of the Chen family is still not small. If Chen Wu is gone, I heard that Chen Xu is not a good candidate and may not be able to take on important tasks. Why don't we give Chen Xu Refers to a marriage, marrying the princess to him, so that he can use the method of in-laws to take away his power."
When Liu Che heard it, he understood a lot. The Queen Mother mentioned Chen Xu, but she never mentioned Chen Fu. This shows that Chen Fu went to harness the river a few days ago and found out about the property, which scared the Queen Mother and Tian Fu. Those who want to change their ways will have trouble with the Chen family.
The Queen Mother said again: "Your sister Longli should also be old enough to leave the cabinet. I figured it out, and she happened to marry Chen Xu."
Liu Che said: "Chen Xu is not very good. Chen Xu has a family. Doesn't the princess want to be a child when she marries?"
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Is it possible that you want to marry Chen Yu?"
When Liu Che heard the word "Chen Yu", his heart twitched immediately, and he subconsciously said, "I'm afraid it's not right for Chen Yu. Chen Yu has married twice. Although he doesn't have a regular wife now, how can I let my sister marry?" past."
The Queen Mother said: "Your Majesty, you are so confused. This is a great opportunity. You can hold Chen Yu in your hands. Taking advantage of the fact that Tang Yihou is not well now, you can use an excuse to cheer him up."
Liu Che saw that the Queen Mother was determined to return the attention of the Chen family, but he was not willing to let Chen Yu marry his younger sister, so he could only say: "Mother, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. Long Lu is my own sister. You can't just get married so hastily, can you?"
Seeing that he didn't agree immediately, the Queen Mother didn't bother to bother her any more. She changed a topic and said, "Okay, let's not consider the matter of Long's concern for the mother. What about your matter, Your Majesty? You have spoiled Mrs. Wei all these years. , the harem is full of gossip, I heard that you met Li Yan yesterday?"
Liu Che didn't understand how the Queen Mother heard about it, so he prevaricated: "Li Yan? Which Li Yan?"
The Queen Mother covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Why are you pretending to be stupid in front of your son and mother? I have seen Li Yan, a girl. As early as several years ago, my mother thought she was born well, and she had a sweet mouth and a good way of speaking. It's reasonable, but the family background is lower. But we don't value the family background so much. As long as she is willing to serve the emperor wholeheartedly, and is not jealous or competing for favor, isn't that fine? The emperor has had a few princesses in recent years, It’s just that there is no more prince, so I’m not worrying my mother. I’m just telling the emperor, this Li Yan, mother is in charge, and I will fill you in the court.”
Liu Che heard her say such a long list, daring to be affectionate is already a finalized matter, and he didn't object, but said: "Mother is happy."
"What makes me happy, son, which daughter of the family you like, you must tell your mother that it is serious to have more princes, you know."
Liu Che prevaricated: "I'm letting my mother worry about it. If my mother likes this Li Yan, ask her to come and talk with you more, so that my mother won't be bored alone."
Liu Che has been following the queen mother's thoughts, and the queen mother is of course satisfied, and said with a smile: "You are really sensible."
The queen mother seemed to think of something as she said, "I'll have someone show the book to the queen in a while. According to the rules, Li Yan has to go to Jiaofang Palace to serve the queen as an official for a period of time."
Liu Che said: "This matter is not in a hurry. I am holding a birthday banquet for the queen these few days. It would not be very good to send Ye Ting books over at this time."
When the Queen Mother heard it, she sneered and said, "Don't spoil Wei Zifu too much, it's because you spoiled her and made her look like she was an obedient person before, but now, To be a queen, one must have the heart of being a mother, and even a concubine can't be tolerated, so what's the point of being so jealous?"
Liu Che talked with the Queen Mother for a while, and Wei Zifu quickly received the book, adding a new talent, Li Yan who performed dance and song yesterday.
Wei Zifu was a little shocked on the spot, he didn't expect that this Li Yan just presented a song and dance yesterday, but the booklet was delivered today, and he doesn't know what this Li Yan is capable of.
The maid who was following Wei Zifu also asked her a little bit, and heard that the Queen Mother seemed to like this singer named Li Yan very much. She said that Li Yan was obedient and sensible, and knew the general situation. Isn't this what I was back then?
What the Queen Mother wants is people who listen to her words and take her words as imperial edicts.
On the first day of the birthday banquet, Li Yan climbed onto the dragon bed. Although Wei Zifu was angry, he was helpless. It was not her decision. After all, Li Yan was backed by the Queen Mother.
The birthday banquet will continue on the second day, because all the ministers and princes and kings have already presented gifts on the first day, so it is much easier to come up today. When Liu Che and Wei Zifu arrive, everyone is seated, and then they pour their own drinks.
Today's configuration is the same as yesterday's, Chen Yu is still sitting in the corner, other places are very lively, courteous, and people who pretend to be false are everywhere, but no one is courteous to him.
Because as the Queen Mother said, Chen Wu, the head of the Chen family, Tang Yi, was about to die. Because of his frail health, he could no longer stay at the bed, and he did not come to celebrate the queen's birthday in person.
Everyone also knows that after Tangyi Hou returns to the west, the Chen family will be handed over to the eldest son Chen Xu, and the second son Chen Xu, who is famous for his glib tongue, has no ability at all, so naturally he cannot inherit the position of Marquis.
Since he has no power or influence, why should others curry favor with him?But isn't it very deserted?
Hesitating. The little prince Liu Ju slept too late yesterday, and today he was sleepy all day. Wei Zifu didn't bring him out, so no one came to talk to Ying Zheng today.
Ying Zheng poured his own drink, and when the banquet was over, he saw a young man walking through the crowd. Every time he took a step, someone would come to toast him. Everyone knew that this was the emperor's celebrity, the empress's nephew. , it was Huo Qubing.
It was no secret that the emperor held Huo Qubing in high regard. Liu Che felt that Huo Qubing had a talent since he was a child, and he would definitely surpass Wei Qing in the future, so he focused on training him and personally selected his master from the court.
They also set up an imperial forest army, and planned to hand over the imperial forest army to Huo Qubing after Huo Qubing grew up.
Liu Che's ability to know people is indeed right. This child has indeed shown a very high general talent since he was a child, because this person is not simply Wei Qing's nephew. In the six kingdoms, Wang Jian, the general who achieved grand unification and hegemony.
Wang Jian didn't forget who he once served loyally to, and he was named the emperor's teacher by that person, but Wang Jian was still a mortal. He had lived as Huo Qubing for fourteen years, had an uncle Wei Qing who loved him dearly, and another Pay special attention to cultivating your own emperor.
Liu Che almost gave him all his dreams as a soldier, whether it is the army or trust.
Just when he was about to integrate into this place, Huo Qubing met this person. He didn't know who the other person was, but that person said something familiar to him, which reminded him of all kinds of things from a long time ago. Whether it's passionate, iron-blooded, desolate, or sad...
Huo Qubing saw Yingzheng sitting alone, so he wanted to find out, maybe he was thinking too much, but it was really hard for him to go there, a bunch of people came to toast, and after drinking a wave Another wave.
Fortunately, Huo Qubing felt that he could drink a lot, so he finished his courtesies with a bunch of ministers and princes with fake smiles, and finally walked over.
Ying Zheng looked at the person standing in front of his desk, just raised his eyes and smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down."
Huo Qubing watched his every move, a feeling of déjà vu suddenly struck in his heart, and he suddenly had the illusion that his blood was boiling.
Huo Qubing calmed down, sat down immediately, raised his cup, and said with a smile, "Master Chen, why is he drinking alone, why don't you and me have two cups?"
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "I often hear that Huo Qubing is a straightforward person, but when I saw him, he really lived up to his reputation."
Huo Qubing was stunned for a moment, then he opened his mouth and remained silent for a while. Back then, Wang Jian came from a family of generals. When the King of Qin met him for the first time, he said something like this. He said that he often heard that Wang Jian was straightforward. This sight really lived up to its reputation.
Even though Huo Qubing was a general, he could tell that Ying Zheng was giving himself some advice.
Huo Qubing's throat felt a little tight. He never expected that after the time had changed, he would still meet someone he knew, and this person was the King Qin whom he had loyally served back then...
Because of what happened last night, Liu Che couldn't let it go. The similar look in his eyes already made Liu Che unable to figure out whether Chen Yu was like Chen Ajiao, or whether Chen Ajiao was similar to Chen Yu.
Liu Che wanted to take advantage of today's banquet to go over and have a word with Chen Yu. Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Che stood up, he saw Huo Qubing sitting in front of Yingzheng. He didn't know what the two were talking about, anyway, Liu Che had never seen him before. Ying Zheng smiled like that.
In my impression, Chen Yu knows nothing but a glib tongue. I don't know what happened to Chen Yu these days. After changing his previous behavior, he has become capable, and he still feels a little vigorous.
Ever since that night at Princess Pingyang's mansion, Liu Che felt that Ying Zheng had never smiled at him, not even a flattering smile, but a sneer at most.
But at this time, Liu Che watched Ying Zheng smiling, and it wasn't a sneer, nor a flattering smile, but a little gentle?
Huo Qubing hesitated for a long time before he said, "I...I didn't expect that I was the master."
Huo Qubing's voice was very soft, but Yingzheng heard it clearly, Yingzheng said: "I didn't expect it to be you, but the action of you unloading your sword in front of Xuanshi Pavilion that day, I have seen it no less than a hundred times before. Naturally there is an impression."
Huo Qubing did not expect that Yingzheng would have an impression of him. You must know that emperors are ruthless, and anyone can give their lives to him, but Yingzheng remembered his action of unloading the sword.
Maybe a courtier is like this, he will be moved by a little bit of kindness, even if he doesn't have mountains of gold and silver, even if he doesn't have a title of marquis or minister, even if he is notorious for thousands of years, he will be loyal to such a little bit of kindness.
Ying Zheng looked at him, reached out and patted Huo Qubing on the shoulder.
Before he had time to speak, he saw Liu Che walking towards him. Ying Zheng gave Huo Qubing a wink. Huo Qubing quickly regained his composure, stood up and saluted Liu Che, and said with a smile, "The emperor is also here."
Liu Che also patted Huo Qubing on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You and Chen Yu also know each other?"
Huo Qubing smiled and said: "We just met, we chatted speculatively, so we chatted a few more words."
Liu Che looked at Ying Zheng, then at Huo Qubing, and said with a smile, "You kid, there is still someone who can have a good chat with you? Won't you push it back with a few words?"
Huo Qubing looked at Liu Che, as if he had something to say to Yingzheng, so he said, "I went to another place first."
Liu Che nodded, turned towards Huo Qubing's back, and said, "Drink less alcohol and let your uncle know, he will definitely teach you a lesson."
Huo Qubing quickly responded, he used to be a soldier, and there are very few soldiers who don't drink, especially a person like him who is arrogant and rude, so he naturally likes to drink, but Wei Qing has high expectations for Huo Qubing, so naturally the teaching is very strict, Huo Qubing In his eyes, he is just a child, and his personality is impulsive, not very calm, and he is more likely to get into trouble after drinking.
Liu Che waited for Huo Qubing to go far away before sitting down. Looking at Ying Zheng standing there, he raised his head and said, "Sit, sit."
Ying Zheng didn't know what he was doing sitting here, so he could only sit down. Seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Che took the lead in laughing and said, "Chen Yu, I'm here to question your Xingshi."
Ying Zheng didn't look scared, he remained calm and said, "I don't know what crime the emperor wants to ask."
Liu Che poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "Of course it's your crime of pushing me into the pond last night."
Ying Zheng twitched his lips, and said, "Your Majesty was drunk last night. It wasn't because of my humble servants, it was because you didn't stand your ground."
Liu Che looked at Ying Zheng's smile, but it was not as gentle as Ying Zheng's smile on Huo Qubing just now, which made Liu Che feel very dissatisfied.
Liu Che said: "You can't let this matter go like this. I have already written it down for you. If you make a mistake in the future, you will be punished and brought back together."
Ying Zheng said: "Do you want to thank my humble minister?"
Liu Che originally wanted to adjust the atmosphere with him, but he didn't know that Ying Zheng always choked himself with a few words, so he coughed and said, "I'm here to tell you something serious."
He paused as he spoke, lowered his voice, and said: "Tomorrow is the last day of the Queen's birthday banquet. The princes and kings are already in the palace for the things I ordered you and the master to do before, so I don't worry about what they will do. , as soon as the banquet is over tomorrow, the two of you will capture Yanshan King Liu Dingguo and hand it over to the Ting Wei Department for trial."
"promise."
Ying Zheng didn't say a word of unnecessary nonsense, which made it extremely difficult for Liu Che to strike up a conversation.
Liu Che thought for a while, and then remembered what the Queen Mother said this morning, and said: "Chen Yu, when the Queen Mother talked about Princess Longli with me today, she mentioned you. To your elder brother Chen Xu, but he has already married a wife, so the Empress Dowager thought of you, you don't have a wife now, what do you think about this matter?"
Ying Zheng glanced at Liu Che indiscriminately, and then said, "But it's up to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to decide."
This sentence was not what Liu Che wanted to hear. Liu Che suddenly remembered the way the other party was tossing and turning under him for joy that night. My heart beats wildly.
Hearing what Ying Zheng said, Liu Che didn't seem to object to the marriage. He immediately lowered his face, sneered, and brought up his hand, which suddenly covered Ying Zheng's hand on the table.
Ying Zheng froze for a moment, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but Liu Che didn't give him this chance, and immediately clenched his wrist tightly, Ying Zheng didn't dare to move too much, lest others would see him.
Liu Che grabbed his wrist, leaned forward slightly, and got closer to Ying Zheng. He sneered and said, "You want to marry my sister?"
Ying Zheng said: "Isn't it an honor for a humble minister to marry a princess, and no one would refuse it."
Liu Che did not let go of his hand, stared at Ying Zheng, and said with a smile, "Can you really marry my imperial sister? Don't forget, the way you courted on my bed..."
"emperor."
Ying Zheng's complexion suddenly fell, and he said coldly: "Please respect yourself, Your Majesty."
Liu Che said: "Why, what I said was wrong? Didn't you always want to replace your sister, so why did you marry my sister?"
Although Ying Zheng was very thoughtful, he didn't understand why Liu Che was suddenly angry and mentioned his sore feet.
No matter how Ying Zheng thought about it, he couldn't understand it. After all, he didn't know Liu Che's thoughts about Chen Ajiao, and Liu Che saw the shadow of Chen Ajiao in him. Get married, and Ying Zheng does not refuse this marriage.
Liu Che just glanced at him again, then let go of Ying Zheng's hand, got up and left.
Ying Zheng was baffled by him, thinking that Liu Che's thoughts had been getting deeper and deeper in the past six years, and he would never have thought that it was actually Liu Che who was eating inexplicable jealousy.
In fact, Liu Che also felt that he was baffled, and had withdrawn from the banquet early. Wei Zifu would naturally persuade him to spend the night in Jiaofang Hall, but Liu Che refused, saying that he was a little sick today and needed to go to bed early.
Wei Zifu heard that this was an excuse at all, and thought that Liu Che was going to pamper Li Yan again. Although he hated him so much, there was nothing he could do.
On the third night, which was also the last night of the queen's birthday banquet, Huo Qubing didn't show up because he had to take care of the little bun Liu Shi. It happened that today he was going to arrest King Yanshan, and Liu Che didn't want Huo Qubing to come out, so he let him take care of the prince.
The banquet was still full of laughter and kabuki performances, but Li Yan was no longer among them. Li Yan had become a talented person and had been registered in the harem book.
Although only Li Yan and Li Yannian knew that the emperor had never favored Li Yan at all, but this did not hinder anything, after all, it was ordered by the empress dowager herself, and Li Yan felt that she was too lucky.
This day, Zhu Fuyan was also present. It is said that it is impossible for him at this level to participate in such a ostentatious banquet, but tonight Zhu Fuyan will accompany Ying Zheng to be half of the protagonist, so it is natural to be there.
Zhu Fuyan sat with Yingzheng today, Zhu Fuyan held the cup and said with a smile: "Now it's a feast of laughter, I don't know what expressions the princes and kings will make when they see someone being arrested."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Master Master really looks like he's watching a good show."
The master father Yan smiled and said: "This is naturally a good show, and it is the most elated show since my master father Yan became an official."
Ying Zheng said: "My lord father bows so hard for the emperor, isn't he afraid that other princes and kings will feel that you have threatened their status, and are they not afraid of being retaliated and impeached?"
The master's father raised the wine cup, drank the wine, and said with a smile: "I have been in trouble for a long time, and my husband will not eat five tripods in life, but he will cook in five tripods when he dies!"
Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "My lord, you are indeed so proud."
The master father shook his hand and said: "I am not arrogant, but I am used to being poor. Even my parents and brothers don't recognize me. If the emperor can appreciate me and give me a place, it will be a kindness. What else can I give in return?"
Ying Zheng just smiled, the idea of being a king and a minister are indeed different.
But even if they are different, Yingzheng can be sure that this master father Yan, no matter six years ago or six years later, is a talent that Yingzheng wants to take over for his own use. He is bold, courageous, resourceful and resourceful , have the means, even if there is a small fault, it will not hinder anything.
Ying Zheng respected Zhufu Yan for a cup, and Zhu Fuyan put down the wine cup after drinking this cup, saying: "I can't drink any more, Mr. Chen, don't drink any more, I'm afraid I'll miss a big deal if I drink any more."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "It's about time."
Liu Che stood up from his seat with a gentle smile on his face. Seeing that the emperor seemed to have something to say, everyone stopped and looked at the emperor.
Liu Che waited for the banquet to become quiet, then smiled and said: "Everyone has been eating and drinking for three days, and I am very happy for these three days."
Liu Che glanced at the crowd with a smile, and said: "All of you who can sit here today are my confidantes, as well as real uncles and brothers, all of whom are valued by me. You should be members of the imperial court. Pillars, but..."
When he said this, the smile disappeared from his face immediately, and everyone couldn't help trembling when they saw it. They knew that the emperor's talk was about to change, and they didn't know who was going to be unlucky.
Liu Che's face was cold, his voice became deep, and he said: "However, there are some people who rely on my respect and trust to belittle themselves."
As he spoke, he took out a brocade silk from his cuff, held a corner, shook it away, and said coldly: "I have received a lot of memorials recently, all of which are impeachment of various princes and kings for misbehavior. , lewd and incestous, killing innocent people indiscriminately!"
After he finished speaking, everyone was covered in cold sweat, and quickly knelt down, bowing their heads to the ground, waiting for Liu Che's next words.
Liu Che took two steps, took the brocade silk, and did not tell everyone what was written on it, and said slowly: "You are all my confidantes, I can't punish anyone harshly, I don't want to, punish It hurts you more than stabbing a piece of my flesh..."
He spoke slowly, but he paused for a moment, and immediately turned into a cold drink, saying: "But there are people who want to provoke me! I think he is my elder, so I dare not deal with him? Think he can I dare not deal with him if he forms a gang in the court to form a clique for personal gain! Well, I will let you see today, this big man, who is the emperor."
He said, turned around two steps, stretched his sleeves and sat down, said: "Chen Yu, master father Yan, what about your evidence, bring it up for my uncles and uncles to read."
Yingzheng and Zhu Fuyan heard Liu Che's words and responded. Yingzheng immediately took out the memorial that he had prepared a long time ago, went forward to unfold it, and stated the evidence of Yanshan King Liu Ding's adultery and incest one by one.
Liu Dingguo didn't expect that today's banquet would become his own beheaded wine. He was so scared that his face turned pale, he fell to the ground, and cried, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Mingcha!"
Tian Fu was also present, and was surprised to see that Liu Che wanted to investigate Liu Dingguo. He didn't expect that Liu Che's purpose was to investigate Liu Dingguo himself, so he went to investigate Liu Dingguo and shocked the mountain.
Tian Fu just wanted to say something nice for his father-in-law.
But Liu Che slammed the table and shouted: "King Yanshan, you are not guilty yet? If you want me to investigate clearly, I will tell you clearly that this is all discovered by my people! King Yanshan, don't rely on it." As long as you are in the imperial court, you can form gangs and have nothing to fear. Do you think that no one dares to investigate your one-acre three-point land? I will tell you, I dare to investigate, and I will do things that others cannot do."
When Tian Fu heard this, he was so frightened that his legs softened. Isn't this obvious? The words "together with gangs" refer to himself. It is very indiscreet, but because there is a prime minister named Tian Fu in the court, no one dares to speak out. If anyone dares to impeach him, he will be stopped by Tian Fu in advance. Less than good fruit.
After a long time, no one dared to say anything over time. The princes and kings saw countless incidents of lewdness and incest and the killing of innocent people, which has reached the point of unwritten regulations.
Liu Che didn't just want to beat the mountain to shake the tiger, but wanted to beat the Tianfu. Liu Che's original intention was to take this opportunity to punish the princes and kings.
After hearing Liu Che's words, King Yanshan was so frightened that he couldn't get up anymore, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and changed his tone from "clear investigation" to "the minister is convicted" and "begging the emperor for mercy".
Liu Che sneered, and said, "Forgive me? I also want to show you a favor, but you are forcing me, King Yanshan, how can I show you favors for your crimes, you can tell yourself."
Liu Dingguo was a little dazed, he hesitated for a long time, and cast his eyes on Tian Fu, thinking that Tian Fu would save him.
But Tian Fu acted as if he hadn't seen it, and stood far away without saying a word.
Liu Dingguo's heart was half cold now, knowing that Tian Fu must not want to go through this muddy water, and his face was even more bloodless.
Seeing that he was silent, Liu Che said in a cold voice, "King Yanshan, if I knew I would regret it today, I can't forgive you for your sins. If I forgive you, how can I give an explanation to the world...Chen Yu."
Ying Zheng responded, "My humble minister is here."
Liu Che said: "This matter is under your supervision. Put Yanshan King Liu Dingguo in prison and hand it over to the Tingwei Office for investigation."
Liu Dingguo didn't expect Liu Che to be so ruthless, so he didn't bring it up immediately, and almost fainted. If the Ting Wei Department came to investigate this crime, he would have to wait for death.
And Tian Fu acted like a normal person, and didn't even look at Liu Dingguo, as if King Yanshan had nothing to do with him.
At that moment, some guards came up to take Liu Dingguo down and put him under custody. The moment King Yanshan left, everyone present immediately talked about it, and the horror was unavoidable.
Wei Zifu did not expect that on the last day of her birthday banquet, she would do something like this. Although Wei Zifu didn't want to interfere with political affairs, she was also a smart person. After thinking about it, she realized that it was not at all that the emperor wanted to make such a big show. For their own sake, but to call the princes and kings back to the capital for an excuse, only the reason of holding a birthday banquet and offering congratulatory gifts can make the princes and kings put down their guard.
When they were arrested, Liu Che ordered the crowd to disperse, and everyone was afraid to stay any longer. Now that the entrance guards had arrived, they could only stay in the palace and went back to their respective residences.
Yingzheng wanted to go back, but he heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Liu Ling, the king of Huainan.
Liu Ling hadn't seen her in these years, and she was even more graceful than before. Although she was pretty, Ying Zheng didn't have a good impression of her before. Now that she has changed her shell, Ying Zheng is still Ying Zheng. Naturally, Liu Ling Not impressed.
But Liu Ling didn't know, and said that the other party was that smooth-talking, incompetent and pretty second son of Tang Yihou, Chen Yu.
When Liu Ling saw him today, he knew that Chen Yu had been greatly used by Liu Che. The emperor had obviously started to cut down the feudal clan. He was afraid that his father would be cut down, so he came to find out.
Liu Ling walked over with a smile, and said, "Master Chen, we haven't seen each other for a long time, but this meeting, Master Chen is so majestic..."
She said, putting her hands on Ying Zheng's shoulders, and lightly dusted Ying Zheng's dust that was not there at all. Taking the opportunity, she snuggled into Ying Zheng's arms and said with a smile: "It's been so long, Mr. Chen, how can you?" Do you miss the little girl?"
Ying Zheng doesn't mind women throwing themselves into their arms, but it's just that women with malicious intentions, if they want to plot against their own women, they should be thankful. After all, Ying Zheng is not just for the sake of these people who have missed important things.
Ying Zheng wanted to push Liu Ling away a little, but at this moment Liu Ling let out an "ahhhh", pretended to fall, and threw himself into Ying Zheng's arms. Ying Zheng was staggered by her and stepped back two times. He took a step, but was stabilized by someone.
When Ying Zheng looked back, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect it to be Liu Che.
Liu Che looked at Liu Ling nestled in Ying Zheng's arms with a smile, and said with a smile: "Sister Liu Ling
This feeling made Yingzheng's whole body tense suddenly, mixed with the faint alcohol smell from the other party, his scalp was involuntarily numb, his body seemed to remember the "joy" at the Princess Pingyang Mansion that day, and he felt a tingling sensation Wave after wave came up from the tailbone.
Liu Che's hand tore his belt, Ying Zheng immediately felt bad, the current Ying Zheng is a man, although he is not as tall as Liu Chesheng, but he still has strength, especially Liu Che is drunk and has no rules , just to tear blindly.
Ying Zheng grabbed the opponent's wrist, trying to get Liu Che to drive away, but Liu Che seemed to be trying his best, ignoring Ying Zheng's obstruction, and still softly calling Gillian.
Ying Zheng heard his murmurs, his heart tightened suddenly, and he squeezed his hands. In addition, Liu Che was drunk, staggered a step back, and fell into the pond with a "plop".
The water in the pond was not deep, the deepest part was only one meter. Liu Che stood in the pond, the water was not even up to his chest, but the water was cold.
Liu Che was a little angry. After all, Ying Zheng was the first one who dared to push the emperor into the water. Besides, Chen Yu had always recommended himself a pillow mat to himself with a shy face. The last time he was in Princess Pingyang's mansion, he took advantage of his drunkenness to get naked. Flattery, but at this time he pretended to be noble.
Most importantly, Liu Che lost face. He was soaked in the water, and the water droplets rolled down the beads of the crown, making his hair stick to his face, not to mention the dragon robe on his body. Completely wet, how embarrassing it is.
As an emperor, who doesn't pay attention to face, Liu Che lost face, this is what makes him most angry.
When Liu Che looked up, the other party did not run away as expected. Liu Che thought that Chen Yu would run away if he did something wrong, but Chen Yu stood where he was, and gave him a cold look.
Liu Che's heart flickered, and it was inevitable that he was a little dazed. This look seemed so similar that he couldn't help being dazed again. He still remembered that when he was in Princess Pingyang's mansion, his hands strangled the other party's neck, and Chen Yu seemed to faint. But when he opened his eyes again, that kind of look made him feel impulsive.
He originally thought that Chen Yu and his sister Gillian were just similar in appearance, but at that time, Liu Che had a strange feeling that even their eyes were carved out of the same mold.
Liu Che soaked in the cold water, looking at Ying Zheng's eyes, he felt a little impulsive, and his throat tightened a little, but Ying Zheng didn't pay any attention to him, just gave Liu Che a cold look, then turned and left.
Although Liu Che felt that apart from his face, his eyes were somewhat similar to Chen Ajiao's, but this was far from enough to save his face.
The weather is still warming up, the lake is soaking in the dark sky, and it is inevitable to shiver when the wind blows. Liu Che sneezes, and there are no palace people around in the dark, but if Liu Che is willing to call someone, someone will definitely salvage him go up.
But Liu Che couldn't afford to lose this person, so he had to climb up from the pond with his hands. The dragon robe was very cumbersome, and it didn't sink as usual after being soaked in water.
Liu Che dusted off his robe, but he had been served all his life, so there was nothing he could do. He was a little helpless, and this time he was sober, so he walked back quickly. Fortunately, it was dark along the way, and no one was watching. Seeing him in such a mess.
Li Yan was kicked out by Liu Che, the first person who heard the news must be Li Yannian, Li Yan went to Li Yannian and cried, after all, she was a girl with a thin skin, it was a good thing in itself, but she was so unhappy.
For some reason, he provoked the emperor.
Li Yan didn't know which sentence she said wrong, and Li Yannian was also annoyed, so she sent away her crying sister, and just after sending Li Yan away, she saw Liu Che returning with a wet body.
When Li Yannian saw Liu Che like this, he hurried forward to meet him, knelt down and said, "Hey, Your Majesty, where have you been?"
Liu Che was upset and ignored him, and went straight forward. Seeing Liu Che's appearance, Chu Fu went to get clean clothes for him to change into.
Liu Che took off his wet clothes and changed into clean clothes before he felt a little better. Li Yannian looked at the emperor's expression and didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only stand respectfully.
Liu Che didn't say any more, and went to sleep after laying down, but he woke up from the dream in the middle of the night. He said that waking up was not bad at all, because he dreamed about Chen Jian. But it turned into Chen Yu.
Liu Che remembered those eyes, no matter when he was in Princess Pingyang's Mansion or just beside the pond, Liu Che could never forget those slightly indifferent eyes.
After finally dawning, after Liu Che washed up, he heard from Chu Fu that the Empress Dowager invited him to the East Palace.
Liu Che didn't know what the Queen Mother wanted to tell him. It was nothing more than that she wanted to promote someone, or wanted to reuse someone, or that the uncle's family had a large population and the house was not enough to live in, so she wanted to expand it. , what else can happen.
Although Liu Che was impatient, he had no choice but to ask someone to prepare a car and go to the East Palace.
When Liu Che arrived at the East Palace, he didn't see Tian Fu. The Queen Mother was sitting in the Fengzuo, with a kind look. When she saw Liu Che, she waved and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, come quickly."
Liu Che walked over and said hello to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother patted the side and motioned Liu Che to sit down.
Liu Che sat down, and the Queen Mother laughed again: "I heard... Chen Wu is going to die."
When Liu Che heard this, he didn't understand what the queen mother meant, but said: "Tang Yihou has been in poor health for the past few years."
The Queen Mother said: "I heard that Tang Yihou loves his eldest son Chen Xu very much, doesn't he?"
Liu Che said: "This son is unknown."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't you want to cut down the feudal clan recently? If the Marquis Chen Wu is gone, the eldest son Chen Xu will definitely inherit the throne. Mother has a good way..."
The Queen Mother likes to be in charge of political affairs, but most of them are just to increase Tian Fu's power. The Queen Mother will not want to shut down such things as cutting down the feudal clan.
In the eyes of the Queen Mother, cutting down the vassals will inevitably lead to major events. One more thing is worse than one less thing. It is better not to deal with these princes and kings, as long as they are properly appeased, it is enough. How to end.
So when she suddenly proposed a way to cut down the feudal clan, Liu Che was naturally skeptical, but his face remained calm, saying: "Mother has a good way, so my son will listen to it."
The Queen Mother said: "Think about it, the power of the Chen family is still not small. If Chen Wu is gone, I heard that Chen Xu is not a good candidate and may not be able to take on important tasks. Why don't we give Chen Xu Refers to a marriage, marrying the princess to him, so that he can use the method of in-laws to take away his power."
When Liu Che heard it, he understood a lot. The Queen Mother mentioned Chen Xu, but she never mentioned Chen Fu. This shows that Chen Fu went to harness the river a few days ago and found out about the property, which scared the Queen Mother and Tian Fu. Those who want to change their ways will have trouble with the Chen family.
The Queen Mother said again: "Your sister Longli should also be old enough to leave the cabinet. I figured it out, and she happened to marry Chen Xu."
Liu Che said: "Chen Xu is not very good. Chen Xu has a family. Doesn't the princess want to be a child when she marries?"
The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Is it possible that you want to marry Chen Yu?"
When Liu Che heard the word "Chen Yu", his heart twitched immediately, and he subconsciously said, "I'm afraid it's not right for Chen Yu. Chen Yu has married twice. Although he doesn't have a regular wife now, how can I let my sister marry?" past."
The Queen Mother said: "Your Majesty, you are so confused. This is a great opportunity. You can hold Chen Yu in your hands. Taking advantage of the fact that Tang Yihou is not well now, you can use an excuse to cheer him up."
Liu Che saw that the Queen Mother was determined to return the attention of the Chen family, but he was not willing to let Chen Yu marry his younger sister, so he could only say: "Mother, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. Long Lu is my own sister. You can't just get married so hastily, can you?"
Seeing that he didn't agree immediately, the Queen Mother didn't bother to bother her any more. She changed a topic and said, "Okay, let's not consider the matter of Long's concern for the mother. What about your matter, Your Majesty? You have spoiled Mrs. Wei all these years. , the harem is full of gossip, I heard that you met Li Yan yesterday?"
Liu Che didn't understand how the Queen Mother heard about it, so he prevaricated: "Li Yan? Which Li Yan?"
The Queen Mother covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Why are you pretending to be stupid in front of your son and mother? I have seen Li Yan, a girl. As early as several years ago, my mother thought she was born well, and she had a sweet mouth and a good way of speaking. It's reasonable, but the family background is lower. But we don't value the family background so much. As long as she is willing to serve the emperor wholeheartedly, and is not jealous or competing for favor, isn't that fine? The emperor has had a few princesses in recent years, It’s just that there is no more prince, so I’m not worrying my mother. I’m just telling the emperor, this Li Yan, mother is in charge, and I will fill you in the court.”
Liu Che heard her say such a long list, daring to be affectionate is already a finalized matter, and he didn't object, but said: "Mother is happy."
"What makes me happy, son, which daughter of the family you like, you must tell your mother that it is serious to have more princes, you know."
Liu Che prevaricated: "I'm letting my mother worry about it. If my mother likes this Li Yan, ask her to come and talk with you more, so that my mother won't be bored alone."
Liu Che has been following the queen mother's thoughts, and the queen mother is of course satisfied, and said with a smile: "You are really sensible."
The queen mother seemed to think of something as she said, "I'll have someone show the book to the queen in a while. According to the rules, Li Yan has to go to Jiaofang Palace to serve the queen as an official for a period of time."
Liu Che said: "This matter is not in a hurry. I am holding a birthday banquet for the queen these few days. It would not be very good to send Ye Ting books over at this time."
When the Queen Mother heard it, she sneered and said, "Don't spoil Wei Zifu too much, it's because you spoiled her and made her look like she was an obedient person before, but now, To be a queen, one must have the heart of being a mother, and even a concubine can't be tolerated, so what's the point of being so jealous?"
Liu Che talked with the Queen Mother for a while, and Wei Zifu quickly received the book, adding a new talent, Li Yan who performed dance and song yesterday.
Wei Zifu was a little shocked on the spot, he didn't expect that this Li Yan just presented a song and dance yesterday, but the booklet was delivered today, and he doesn't know what this Li Yan is capable of.
The maid who was following Wei Zifu also asked her a little bit, and heard that the Queen Mother seemed to like this singer named Li Yan very much. She said that Li Yan was obedient and sensible, and knew the general situation. Isn't this what I was back then?
What the Queen Mother wants is people who listen to her words and take her words as imperial edicts.
On the first day of the birthday banquet, Li Yan climbed onto the dragon bed. Although Wei Zifu was angry, he was helpless. It was not her decision. After all, Li Yan was backed by the Queen Mother.
The birthday banquet will continue on the second day, because all the ministers and princes and kings have already presented gifts on the first day, so it is much easier to come up today. When Liu Che and Wei Zifu arrive, everyone is seated, and then they pour their own drinks.
Today's configuration is the same as yesterday's, Chen Yu is still sitting in the corner, other places are very lively, courteous, and people who pretend to be false are everywhere, but no one is courteous to him.
Because as the Queen Mother said, Chen Wu, the head of the Chen family, Tang Yi, was about to die. Because of his frail health, he could no longer stay at the bed, and he did not come to celebrate the queen's birthday in person.
Everyone also knows that after Tangyi Hou returns to the west, the Chen family will be handed over to the eldest son Chen Xu, and the second son Chen Xu, who is famous for his glib tongue, has no ability at all, so naturally he cannot inherit the position of Marquis.
Since he has no power or influence, why should others curry favor with him?But isn't it very deserted?
Hesitating. The little prince Liu Ju slept too late yesterday, and today he was sleepy all day. Wei Zifu didn't bring him out, so no one came to talk to Ying Zheng today.
Ying Zheng poured his own drink, and when the banquet was over, he saw a young man walking through the crowd. Every time he took a step, someone would come to toast him. Everyone knew that this was the emperor's celebrity, the empress's nephew. , it was Huo Qubing.
It was no secret that the emperor held Huo Qubing in high regard. Liu Che felt that Huo Qubing had a talent since he was a child, and he would definitely surpass Wei Qing in the future, so he focused on training him and personally selected his master from the court.
They also set up an imperial forest army, and planned to hand over the imperial forest army to Huo Qubing after Huo Qubing grew up.
Liu Che's ability to know people is indeed right. This child has indeed shown a very high general talent since he was a child, because this person is not simply Wei Qing's nephew. In the six kingdoms, Wang Jian, the general who achieved grand unification and hegemony.
Wang Jian didn't forget who he once served loyally to, and he was named the emperor's teacher by that person, but Wang Jian was still a mortal. He had lived as Huo Qubing for fourteen years, had an uncle Wei Qing who loved him dearly, and another Pay special attention to cultivating your own emperor.
Liu Che almost gave him all his dreams as a soldier, whether it is the army or trust.
Just when he was about to integrate into this place, Huo Qubing met this person. He didn't know who the other person was, but that person said something familiar to him, which reminded him of all kinds of things from a long time ago. Whether it's passionate, iron-blooded, desolate, or sad...
Huo Qubing saw Yingzheng sitting alone, so he wanted to find out, maybe he was thinking too much, but it was really hard for him to go there, a bunch of people came to toast, and after drinking a wave Another wave.
Fortunately, Huo Qubing felt that he could drink a lot, so he finished his courtesies with a bunch of ministers and princes with fake smiles, and finally walked over.
Ying Zheng looked at the person standing in front of his desk, just raised his eyes and smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down."
Huo Qubing watched his every move, a feeling of déjà vu suddenly struck in his heart, and he suddenly had the illusion that his blood was boiling.
Huo Qubing calmed down, sat down immediately, raised his cup, and said with a smile, "Master Chen, why is he drinking alone, why don't you and me have two cups?"
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "I often hear that Huo Qubing is a straightforward person, but when I saw him, he really lived up to his reputation."
Huo Qubing was stunned for a moment, then he opened his mouth and remained silent for a while. Back then, Wang Jian came from a family of generals. When the King of Qin met him for the first time, he said something like this. He said that he often heard that Wang Jian was straightforward. This sight really lived up to its reputation.
Even though Huo Qubing was a general, he could tell that Ying Zheng was giving himself some advice.
Huo Qubing's throat felt a little tight. He never expected that after the time had changed, he would still meet someone he knew, and this person was the King Qin whom he had loyally served back then...
Because of what happened last night, Liu Che couldn't let it go. The similar look in his eyes already made Liu Che unable to figure out whether Chen Yu was like Chen Ajiao, or whether Chen Ajiao was similar to Chen Yu.
Liu Che wanted to take advantage of today's banquet to go over and have a word with Chen Yu. Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Che stood up, he saw Huo Qubing sitting in front of Yingzheng. He didn't know what the two were talking about, anyway, Liu Che had never seen him before. Ying Zheng smiled like that.
In my impression, Chen Yu knows nothing but a glib tongue. I don't know what happened to Chen Yu these days. After changing his previous behavior, he has become capable, and he still feels a little vigorous.
Ever since that night at Princess Pingyang's mansion, Liu Che felt that Ying Zheng had never smiled at him, not even a flattering smile, but a sneer at most.
But at this time, Liu Che watched Ying Zheng smiling, and it wasn't a sneer, nor a flattering smile, but a little gentle?
Huo Qubing hesitated for a long time before he said, "I...I didn't expect that I was the master."
Huo Qubing's voice was very soft, but Yingzheng heard it clearly, Yingzheng said: "I didn't expect it to be you, but the action of you unloading your sword in front of Xuanshi Pavilion that day, I have seen it no less than a hundred times before. Naturally there is an impression."
Huo Qubing did not expect that Yingzheng would have an impression of him. You must know that emperors are ruthless, and anyone can give their lives to him, but Yingzheng remembered his action of unloading the sword.
Maybe a courtier is like this, he will be moved by a little bit of kindness, even if he doesn't have mountains of gold and silver, even if he doesn't have a title of marquis or minister, even if he is notorious for thousands of years, he will be loyal to such a little bit of kindness.
Ying Zheng looked at him, reached out and patted Huo Qubing on the shoulder.
Before he had time to speak, he saw Liu Che walking towards him. Ying Zheng gave Huo Qubing a wink. Huo Qubing quickly regained his composure, stood up and saluted Liu Che, and said with a smile, "The emperor is also here."
Liu Che also patted Huo Qubing on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You and Chen Yu also know each other?"
Huo Qubing smiled and said: "We just met, we chatted speculatively, so we chatted a few more words."
Liu Che looked at Ying Zheng, then at Huo Qubing, and said with a smile, "You kid, there is still someone who can have a good chat with you? Won't you push it back with a few words?"
Huo Qubing looked at Liu Che, as if he had something to say to Yingzheng, so he said, "I went to another place first."
Liu Che nodded, turned towards Huo Qubing's back, and said, "Drink less alcohol and let your uncle know, he will definitely teach you a lesson."
Huo Qubing quickly responded, he used to be a soldier, and there are very few soldiers who don't drink, especially a person like him who is arrogant and rude, so he naturally likes to drink, but Wei Qing has high expectations for Huo Qubing, so naturally the teaching is very strict, Huo Qubing In his eyes, he is just a child, and his personality is impulsive, not very calm, and he is more likely to get into trouble after drinking.
Liu Che waited for Huo Qubing to go far away before sitting down. Looking at Ying Zheng standing there, he raised his head and said, "Sit, sit."
Ying Zheng didn't know what he was doing sitting here, so he could only sit down. Seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Che took the lead in laughing and said, "Chen Yu, I'm here to question your Xingshi."
Ying Zheng didn't look scared, he remained calm and said, "I don't know what crime the emperor wants to ask."
Liu Che poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "Of course it's your crime of pushing me into the pond last night."
Ying Zheng twitched his lips, and said, "Your Majesty was drunk last night. It wasn't because of my humble servants, it was because you didn't stand your ground."
Liu Che looked at Ying Zheng's smile, but it was not as gentle as Ying Zheng's smile on Huo Qubing just now, which made Liu Che feel very dissatisfied.
Liu Che said: "You can't let this matter go like this. I have already written it down for you. If you make a mistake in the future, you will be punished and brought back together."
Ying Zheng said: "Do you want to thank my humble minister?"
Liu Che originally wanted to adjust the atmosphere with him, but he didn't know that Ying Zheng always choked himself with a few words, so he coughed and said, "I'm here to tell you something serious."
He paused as he spoke, lowered his voice, and said: "Tomorrow is the last day of the Queen's birthday banquet. The princes and kings are already in the palace for the things I ordered you and the master to do before, so I don't worry about what they will do. , as soon as the banquet is over tomorrow, the two of you will capture Yanshan King Liu Dingguo and hand it over to the Ting Wei Department for trial."
"promise."
Ying Zheng didn't say a word of unnecessary nonsense, which made it extremely difficult for Liu Che to strike up a conversation.
Liu Che thought for a while, and then remembered what the Queen Mother said this morning, and said: "Chen Yu, when the Queen Mother talked about Princess Longli with me today, she mentioned you. To your elder brother Chen Xu, but he has already married a wife, so the Empress Dowager thought of you, you don't have a wife now, what do you think about this matter?"
Ying Zheng glanced at Liu Che indiscriminately, and then said, "But it's up to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to decide."
This sentence was not what Liu Che wanted to hear. Liu Che suddenly remembered the way the other party was tossing and turning under him for joy that night. My heart beats wildly.
Hearing what Ying Zheng said, Liu Che didn't seem to object to the marriage. He immediately lowered his face, sneered, and brought up his hand, which suddenly covered Ying Zheng's hand on the table.
Ying Zheng froze for a moment, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but Liu Che didn't give him this chance, and immediately clenched his wrist tightly, Ying Zheng didn't dare to move too much, lest others would see him.
Liu Che grabbed his wrist, leaned forward slightly, and got closer to Ying Zheng. He sneered and said, "You want to marry my sister?"
Ying Zheng said: "Isn't it an honor for a humble minister to marry a princess, and no one would refuse it."
Liu Che did not let go of his hand, stared at Ying Zheng, and said with a smile, "Can you really marry my imperial sister? Don't forget, the way you courted on my bed..."
"emperor."
Ying Zheng's complexion suddenly fell, and he said coldly: "Please respect yourself, Your Majesty."
Liu Che said: "Why, what I said was wrong? Didn't you always want to replace your sister, so why did you marry my sister?"
Although Ying Zheng was very thoughtful, he didn't understand why Liu Che was suddenly angry and mentioned his sore feet.
No matter how Ying Zheng thought about it, he couldn't understand it. After all, he didn't know Liu Che's thoughts about Chen Ajiao, and Liu Che saw the shadow of Chen Ajiao in him. Get married, and Ying Zheng does not refuse this marriage.
Liu Che just glanced at him again, then let go of Ying Zheng's hand, got up and left.
Ying Zheng was baffled by him, thinking that Liu Che's thoughts had been getting deeper and deeper in the past six years, and he would never have thought that it was actually Liu Che who was eating inexplicable jealousy.
In fact, Liu Che also felt that he was baffled, and had withdrawn from the banquet early. Wei Zifu would naturally persuade him to spend the night in Jiaofang Hall, but Liu Che refused, saying that he was a little sick today and needed to go to bed early.
Wei Zifu heard that this was an excuse at all, and thought that Liu Che was going to pamper Li Yan again. Although he hated him so much, there was nothing he could do.
On the third night, which was also the last night of the queen's birthday banquet, Huo Qubing didn't show up because he had to take care of the little bun Liu Shi. It happened that today he was going to arrest King Yanshan, and Liu Che didn't want Huo Qubing to come out, so he let him take care of the prince.
The banquet was still full of laughter and kabuki performances, but Li Yan was no longer among them. Li Yan had become a talented person and had been registered in the harem book.
Although only Li Yan and Li Yannian knew that the emperor had never favored Li Yan at all, but this did not hinder anything, after all, it was ordered by the empress dowager herself, and Li Yan felt that she was too lucky.
This day, Zhu Fuyan was also present. It is said that it is impossible for him at this level to participate in such a ostentatious banquet, but tonight Zhu Fuyan will accompany Ying Zheng to be half of the protagonist, so it is natural to be there.
Zhu Fuyan sat with Yingzheng today, Zhu Fuyan held the cup and said with a smile: "Now it's a feast of laughter, I don't know what expressions the princes and kings will make when they see someone being arrested."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Master Master really looks like he's watching a good show."
The master father Yan smiled and said: "This is naturally a good show, and it is the most elated show since my master father Yan became an official."
Ying Zheng said: "My lord father bows so hard for the emperor, isn't he afraid that other princes and kings will feel that you have threatened their status, and are they not afraid of being retaliated and impeached?"
The master's father raised the wine cup, drank the wine, and said with a smile: "I have been in trouble for a long time, and my husband will not eat five tripods in life, but he will cook in five tripods when he dies!"
Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "My lord, you are indeed so proud."
The master father shook his hand and said: "I am not arrogant, but I am used to being poor. Even my parents and brothers don't recognize me. If the emperor can appreciate me and give me a place, it will be a kindness. What else can I give in return?"
Ying Zheng just smiled, the idea of being a king and a minister are indeed different.
But even if they are different, Yingzheng can be sure that this master father Yan, no matter six years ago or six years later, is a talent that Yingzheng wants to take over for his own use. He is bold, courageous, resourceful and resourceful , have the means, even if there is a small fault, it will not hinder anything.
Ying Zheng respected Zhufu Yan for a cup, and Zhu Fuyan put down the wine cup after drinking this cup, saying: "I can't drink any more, Mr. Chen, don't drink any more, I'm afraid I'll miss a big deal if I drink any more."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "It's about time."
Liu Che stood up from his seat with a gentle smile on his face. Seeing that the emperor seemed to have something to say, everyone stopped and looked at the emperor.
Liu Che waited for the banquet to become quiet, then smiled and said: "Everyone has been eating and drinking for three days, and I am very happy for these three days."
Liu Che glanced at the crowd with a smile, and said: "All of you who can sit here today are my confidantes, as well as real uncles and brothers, all of whom are valued by me. You should be members of the imperial court. Pillars, but..."
When he said this, the smile disappeared from his face immediately, and everyone couldn't help trembling when they saw it. They knew that the emperor's talk was about to change, and they didn't know who was going to be unlucky.
Liu Che's face was cold, his voice became deep, and he said: "However, there are some people who rely on my respect and trust to belittle themselves."
As he spoke, he took out a brocade silk from his cuff, held a corner, shook it away, and said coldly: "I have received a lot of memorials recently, all of which are impeachment of various princes and kings for misbehavior. , lewd and incestous, killing innocent people indiscriminately!"
After he finished speaking, everyone was covered in cold sweat, and quickly knelt down, bowing their heads to the ground, waiting for Liu Che's next words.
Liu Che took two steps, took the brocade silk, and did not tell everyone what was written on it, and said slowly: "You are all my confidantes, I can't punish anyone harshly, I don't want to, punish It hurts you more than stabbing a piece of my flesh..."
He spoke slowly, but he paused for a moment, and immediately turned into a cold drink, saying: "But there are people who want to provoke me! I think he is my elder, so I dare not deal with him? Think he can I dare not deal with him if he forms a gang in the court to form a clique for personal gain! Well, I will let you see today, this big man, who is the emperor."
He said, turned around two steps, stretched his sleeves and sat down, said: "Chen Yu, master father Yan, what about your evidence, bring it up for my uncles and uncles to read."
Yingzheng and Zhu Fuyan heard Liu Che's words and responded. Yingzheng immediately took out the memorial that he had prepared a long time ago, went forward to unfold it, and stated the evidence of Yanshan King Liu Ding's adultery and incest one by one.
Liu Dingguo didn't expect that today's banquet would become his own beheaded wine. He was so scared that his face turned pale, he fell to the ground, and cried, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Mingcha!"
Tian Fu was also present, and was surprised to see that Liu Che wanted to investigate Liu Dingguo. He didn't expect that Liu Che's purpose was to investigate Liu Dingguo himself, so he went to investigate Liu Dingguo and shocked the mountain.
Tian Fu just wanted to say something nice for his father-in-law.
But Liu Che slammed the table and shouted: "King Yanshan, you are not guilty yet? If you want me to investigate clearly, I will tell you clearly that this is all discovered by my people! King Yanshan, don't rely on it." As long as you are in the imperial court, you can form gangs and have nothing to fear. Do you think that no one dares to investigate your one-acre three-point land? I will tell you, I dare to investigate, and I will do things that others cannot do."
When Tian Fu heard this, he was so frightened that his legs softened. Isn't this obvious? The words "together with gangs" refer to himself. It is very indiscreet, but because there is a prime minister named Tian Fu in the court, no one dares to speak out. If anyone dares to impeach him, he will be stopped by Tian Fu in advance. Less than good fruit.
After a long time, no one dared to say anything over time. The princes and kings saw countless incidents of lewdness and incest and the killing of innocent people, which has reached the point of unwritten regulations.
Liu Che didn't just want to beat the mountain to shake the tiger, but wanted to beat the Tianfu. Liu Che's original intention was to take this opportunity to punish the princes and kings.
After hearing Liu Che's words, King Yanshan was so frightened that he couldn't get up anymore, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and changed his tone from "clear investigation" to "the minister is convicted" and "begging the emperor for mercy".
Liu Che sneered, and said, "Forgive me? I also want to show you a favor, but you are forcing me, King Yanshan, how can I show you favors for your crimes, you can tell yourself."
Liu Dingguo was a little dazed, he hesitated for a long time, and cast his eyes on Tian Fu, thinking that Tian Fu would save him.
But Tian Fu acted as if he hadn't seen it, and stood far away without saying a word.
Liu Dingguo's heart was half cold now, knowing that Tian Fu must not want to go through this muddy water, and his face was even more bloodless.
Seeing that he was silent, Liu Che said in a cold voice, "King Yanshan, if I knew I would regret it today, I can't forgive you for your sins. If I forgive you, how can I give an explanation to the world...Chen Yu."
Ying Zheng responded, "My humble minister is here."
Liu Che said: "This matter is under your supervision. Put Yanshan King Liu Dingguo in prison and hand it over to the Tingwei Office for investigation."
Liu Dingguo didn't expect Liu Che to be so ruthless, so he didn't bring it up immediately, and almost fainted. If the Ting Wei Department came to investigate this crime, he would have to wait for death.
And Tian Fu acted like a normal person, and didn't even look at Liu Dingguo, as if King Yanshan had nothing to do with him.
At that moment, some guards came up to take Liu Dingguo down and put him under custody. The moment King Yanshan left, everyone present immediately talked about it, and the horror was unavoidable.
Wei Zifu did not expect that on the last day of her birthday banquet, she would do something like this. Although Wei Zifu didn't want to interfere with political affairs, she was also a smart person. After thinking about it, she realized that it was not at all that the emperor wanted to make such a big show. For their own sake, but to call the princes and kings back to the capital for an excuse, only the reason of holding a birthday banquet and offering congratulatory gifts can make the princes and kings put down their guard.
When they were arrested, Liu Che ordered the crowd to disperse, and everyone was afraid to stay any longer. Now that the entrance guards had arrived, they could only stay in the palace and went back to their respective residences.
Yingzheng wanted to go back, but he heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Liu Ling, the king of Huainan.
Liu Ling hadn't seen her in these years, and she was even more graceful than before. Although she was pretty, Ying Zheng didn't have a good impression of her before. Now that she has changed her shell, Ying Zheng is still Ying Zheng. Naturally, Liu Ling Not impressed.
But Liu Ling didn't know, and said that the other party was that smooth-talking, incompetent and pretty second son of Tang Yihou, Chen Yu.
When Liu Ling saw him today, he knew that Chen Yu had been greatly used by Liu Che. The emperor had obviously started to cut down the feudal clan. He was afraid that his father would be cut down, so he came to find out.
Liu Ling walked over with a smile, and said, "Master Chen, we haven't seen each other for a long time, but this meeting, Master Chen is so majestic..."
She said, putting her hands on Ying Zheng's shoulders, and lightly dusted Ying Zheng's dust that was not there at all. Taking the opportunity, she snuggled into Ying Zheng's arms and said with a smile: "It's been so long, Mr. Chen, how can you?" Do you miss the little girl?"
Ying Zheng doesn't mind women throwing themselves into their arms, but it's just that women with malicious intentions, if they want to plot against their own women, they should be thankful. After all, Ying Zheng is not just for the sake of these people who have missed important things.
Ying Zheng wanted to push Liu Ling away a little, but at this moment Liu Ling let out an "ahhhh", pretended to fall, and threw himself into Ying Zheng's arms. Ying Zheng was staggered by her and stepped back two times. He took a step, but was stabilized by someone.
When Ying Zheng looked back, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect it to be Liu Che.
Liu Che looked at Liu Ling nestled in Ying Zheng's arms with a smile, and said with a smile: "Sister Liu Ling
