405, making the land king (5000+) After Emperor Zhou gave the order to the man in black, he waved his hand to let the man in black go down. After that, he began to cough uncontrollably.

He was very sad. Finally, Eunuch Li brought tea, and Emperor Zhou was about to reach out to take it. Unexpectedly, there was a pool of blood on the palm of his stretched out hand.

"Your Majesty?" Eunuch Li's face changed drastically, and even his voice trembled.

"Don't tell anyone about this matter!" Emperor Zhou said with a gloomy face, but there was no trace of emotion on his face.

Yes, this was not the first time he coughed up blood, but many times. He also clearly remembered the panic when he coughed up blood for the first time, which was the same as that of Eunuch Li.

"Yes... it's the emperor! Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?" Eunuch Li responded, but he was still very worried about Emperor Zhou.

"No need, I know my body!" Emperor Zhou first took the handkerchief handed over by Eunuch Li and wiped his hands, then took another sip of tea and said.

"How is Concubine Hui's place? Are you still making trouble?" After that, Emperor Zhou didn't continue talking about his illness. He changed the topic.

"Back to the Emperor, Concubine Hui has not eaten for a whole day, and His Highness the Second Prince has also been kneeling outside for a whole day!" Eunuch Li answered truthfully.

"Call the Second Prince in!" Emperor Zhou narrowed his eyes and said after hearing that Ouyang Hong had been kneeling outside for the whole day.

Emperor Zhou was also very bitter in his heart. They were all his sons. Although he had to give up a few to save one, he was also trying his best to save their lives. However, each of these sons had their own characteristics.

Ambition made him very worried about what would happen to his sons when he was gone.

"Father, please spare my mother-in-law this time. My mother-in-law has lost her mind. She knows she was wrong. Please forgive her just once!" Ouyang Hong knelt down on the ground and said as soon as he entered the hall.

.

Emperor Zhou heard the sound and looked at his son, whom he had not seen for many years. This son had been negative for a long time since Duoduo got married. Even when the envoys from the four countries arrived, he claimed to be sick and did not welcome them. Today

Seeing this, Emperor Zhou was stunned for a moment.

How could the originally handsome and handsome Ouyang Hong be as exciting as before? Not to mention his thin and pale face now, let alone his dull and empty eyes, which deeply hurt the Emperor of Zhou.

Heart.

"Hong'er, what are you...you...get up first!" Emperor Zhou wanted to ask him what was going on, but he knew what was going on as soon as he thought about it, so he couldn't bear to arouse his son's anger again.

It's sad.

"Father..." Ouyang Hong did not get up, but went to ask the Great Zhou Emperor again.

"Hong'er, that Si Ying is the princess of Donglin, and the prince and princess of Donglin were involved in the incident that day. There are many people involved in this matter, so your mother and concubine are responsible for it." Emperor Zhou

He said with a gloomy face, and at the same time he winked and asked Eunuch Li to help Ouyang Hong up.

"Father, my concubine is confused for a moment. I am willing to apologize to the people of Donglin Kingdom on her behalf. Father, I beg you!" Ouyang Hong saw the look on Emperor Zhou's face and said

I became even more anxious.

When Emperor Zhou heard what Ouyang Hong said about going to apologize to the people of Donglin Kingdom, Emperor Zhou's eyes flashed, and then an idea came to his mind.

"Hong'er, my father understands how you feel, but you must also know that I am your father and the king of a country. I have to give Donglin an explanation for what your mother and concubine did this time.

So..." Emperor Zhou finally said with a sigh.

***************************************************

***************************************************

"Father, if you can let my mother and concubine live, I am willing to bear all this for my mother and concubine!" Ouyang Hong's expression did not show any abnormality at all because of the implication of the Emperor Zhou.

He is a smart man, so how can he not know what his father means? But now he has already seen his father's thoughts. The eldest brother has military power, the third brother is disabled, the fourth brother is dead, the fifth brother...

…

Now he can't count on anything from his maternal grandfather's family, so all he can do now is to keep his relatives safe. Since he has lost now, he can only accept his fate.

.

Moreover, he had lost the most important person in his life. He originally thought that as long as he worked hard and climbed to that position, she would definitely belong to him. However, whenever he saw her flower-like smile, he still thought

With so much happiness around him, he knew that he would always lose. He would never be able to win this woman's heart. In this case, what was the use of pursuing those illusory things?

At that time, he really envied his fourth brother, who could die for her.

Therefore, the most important meaning of his life now is to keep his relatives safe. He feels that this karma is really magical. Back then, it was him who was selfish and did not save his abused cousin. It was him who was selfish.

, and finally saw his aunt die with his own eyes, which aroused his cousin's anger, which also led to his current relationship with him.

Therefore, Ouyang Hong does not hate or complain about everything Xu Hongbo has done now. This is all retribution, retribution. Therefore, now he just wants to keep his relatives safe. As for anything else, he will not go there again.

Too much to ask for

"Hong'er, you also know that although my father is reluctant to let your mother and concubine suffer, he still has no choice but to do it, so he thought about it again and again, and decided that this is what he has to do. Hong'er, what do you think of Liucheng?

"Emperor Zhou said thoughtfully.

When Ouyang Hong heard Emperor Zhou ask him this question, what else did he not understand? Liucheng was also a place where birds did not lay eggs. When the late emperor was still alive, he originally wanted to give birth to one of his unfavorable sons.

He was sent to that place to be crowned king, but the prince would rather die than go there. In the end, he ended his life abruptly. It was enough to show that Liucheng was not a good place, and the prince could not afford to lose that person. This

That's why I chose that path.

"Go back to my father, I am willing to go!" Ouyang Hong said with clasped fists.

For Ouyang Hong now, it doesn't matter where or how he lives, and he also feels that maybe a place like Liucheng will be more suitable for him.

Emperor Zhou agreed to Ouyang Hong so readily. He was stunned for a while, and then he said: "Hong'er, I hope you can understand my father's painstaking efforts. After the state banquet, you will take your mother with you."

Concubine and my grandfather, please go to Liucheng with your family, I will make you king, and I will also give you an order that you have full power to make the decision in Liucheng, and the kings after the Great Zhou Dynasty will not be able to interfere!"

After all, he is his own son. Although his actions are somewhat selfish, there can only be one king in the Zhou Dynasty in the past dynasties, but there are as many as five of his sons. The palms and backs of his hands are all flesh, even in his mind.

He already had a candidate in mind, but he had to keep the others safe first.

At present, Ouyang Jian holds military power, and has no ambitions for the throne. His relationship with his younger brothers is also very harmonious. He doesn't need to worry. His third son Ouyang Zhuo is now disabled, so he has no relationship with the throne.

He was also going to miss out. His fourth son Ouyang Lei died, and the candidate in his mind was of course his fifth son Ouyang Chen. Therefore, in this way, he was most worried about his second son.

***************************************************

***************************************************

So he must have arranged this matter before he was alive.

"Everything will follow your father's arrangements!" Ouyang Hong said with a sigh of relief now.

"Well, you go back and take good care of yourself. Your mother and concubine's people must not be evacuated first. Otherwise, if she does something drastic again, even I won't be able to protect her!" Emperor Zhou comforted Ouyang.

Hong said.

"Then Father, please let your son go in and see his mother and concubine?" Ouyang Hong heard that since this incident happened, his mother and concubine had been in coma several times. Although the imperial doctor went there and said she was fine,

But his mother-in-law began not to eat after that. If this continued, her body would definitely not be able to bear it, so Ouyang Hong was very worried and asked Emperor Zhou.

"I'm sure!" Emperor Zhou waved his hand and said.

"..."

In the palace of Concubine Lian

As soon as Ouyang Hong entered the palace of his son's mother-in-law, he saw his mother-in-law lying on the bed. Although there were many people guarding the outside, the palace was desolate. Presumably, those palace maids and eunuchs were all

You must have found another way. Ouyang Hong smiled sarcastically, saying that the most ruthless emperor's family is the most ruthless. Now even the servants in the palace are so ruthless.

"Concubine! How are you, Concubine!" Ouyang Hong approached Concubine Hui's bed and asked softly.

And he didn't know it, but he was really shocked when he saw it. How could his mother-in-law have aged so much in just a few days? Her eye sockets were sunken, her lips were chapped, her face was very pale, and Yu looked at her.

Concubine Hui's long black hair, which she had always been proud of, actually had strands of silver hair between her temples. Ouyang Hong's eyes became moist when he saw Concubine Hui like this.

"Hong...ahem...Hong'er, you're here, are you really here? Hong'er...ahem..." As soon as Concubine Hui saw her son coming, her originally dim eyes turned bright.

She regained her luster, but after all, she hadn't touched a drop of water for so many days, so her throat was very dry at this time, and she started coughing after saying a few words.

"Concubine, come, drink some water first. After drinking the water, speak slowly!" Ouyang Hong took the bowl from his mother's hand and put a spoon in it. Seeing this, Ouyang Hong raised his eyes and looked at that

Mammy, it turned out to be his mother-in-law's dowry mama. No wonder she could prepare a spoon so carefully to make it easier to feed his mother-in-law.

After Ouyang Hong carefully fed Concubine Hui a few spoons of water, when Ouyang Hong went to feed Concubine Hui another spoonful, Concubine Hui pushed her away. Ouyang Hong knew that Concubine Hui had finished drinking, so he handed the bowl to her.

Got out.

"Hong'er, please go and beg your father. Mother knows that I was wrong. Let him forgive me. Mother will never trouble Si Ying again. Hong'er, you have to help mother!" Hui

When the concubine saw her son, it was equivalent to seeing hope, so she said to Ouyang Hong with hope.

Her life these days was really worse than death. Not only that, she was always worried that Emperor Zhou would attack their merchants. No matter how she asked to see Emperor Zhou or begged for mercy, no one paid attention to her.

Seeing her servants looking for other ways one by one, Concubine Hui's heart felt like needles pricking her heart.

"Mom, don't worry, my father has already said that he forgives you and will not blame Grandma Liu's family. Just eat well and sleep well. When the state banquet is over, my father will remove those guards!" Ouyang

Hong Ye comforted Concubine Hui and said.

"Really? Hong'er, is what you said true? You didn't lie to your mother, did you? Hong'er, you know how scared your father is that your father will be angry with you because of this matter about her.

, It’s okay, it’s okay, don’t worry, my mother-in-law will take good care of her body. As long as your father doesn’t vent her anger on you, my mother-in-law will be relieved, just don’t worry!”

***************************************************

***************************************************

Concubine Hui was very happy after hearing Ouyang Hong's words. She had worked hard for so many years, and if her son's future was delayed because of this, she would not rest in peace even to death.
To be continued...
