After the matter was settled, Liu Hong was going to play in the Naked Palace, so he didn't bother to chat with Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang saw that Liu Hong was not interested, so he was ready to leave. However, Liu Hong felt that letting Liu Zhang leave like this was a bit like burning bridges, so he
So he asked Liu Zhang to see He Lingsi and asked He Lingsi to give him a banquet! Anyway, Liu Zhang had to see He Lingsi every time he entered the palace. Liu Hong's arrangement was exactly what Liu Zhang wanted. What's more, if Liu Zhang entered the palace but did not go to see He Lingsi,
Next time he was caught by He Lingsi, he would definitely be beaten off. Liu Zhang didn't want to be taught a lesson by a woman!
In the Jianzhang Palace, He Lingsi couldn't help but feel a little funny after receiving Liu Hong's order. The ministers performed meritorious services, but they asked the queen to accompany them. What Liu Hong, the emperor, did was really unprecedented. As for whether there was anyone coming later, He Lingsi didn't know. However,
, if she asked Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang would definitely tell her: Yes!
Under the guidance of the small yellow gate, Liu Zhang slowly walked to Jianzhang Palace. He Lingsi had already prepared a banquet. When Liu Zhang entered Jianzhang Palace and was about to salute, He Lingsi smiled and said: "Brother, why do you have to be so formal? Come in and sit down!"
The palace has prepared a banquet, if you wait any longer, the food will get cold."
"Then you're welcome, brother!" Given the relationship between Liu Zhang and He Lingsi, it doesn't matter whether you are polite or not, but you still have to do it in appearance.
He Lingsi rolled his eyes and said: "You! It's not good to learn from anyone. It's really boring to have to learn from those old scholars."
Liu Zhang touched his nose and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't want to do that either! Recently, Old Cai moved to my brother's house. Being influenced by this old scholar all day long, it is inevitable that he will get a bit of a rotten Confucian atmosphere. I'm helpless!"
When He Lingsi heard this, he covered his mouth and snickered. Liu Zhang was the only one who dared to speak ill of Cai Yong among the big men. You know, Cai Yong was not only Liu Zhang's teacher, but also his father-in-law. He Lingsi smiled and said: "You are not afraid.
Did Old Man Cai hear you? If he doesn't marry his daughter to you, you won't have anywhere to cry!"
"Don't be afraid!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "My brother has been granted a marriage, so Old Cai doesn't dare to resist the decree!"
"You..." He Lingsi smiled and shook her head. She really didn't expect Liu Zhang to be such a rogue. However, she liked Liu Zhang like this better.
While eating and chatting with He Lingsi, about half an hour later, Liu Zhang glanced at the main hall and suddenly asked: "Sister-in-law, where is Bian'er?"
When He Lingsi heard this, she also discovered that Liu Bian was not there. She was shocked and immediately called the palace servants and asked, "Have you ever seen Prince Bian?"
A palace servant said fearfully: "Ms. Qi, Prince Xie just called Prince Bian out!"
"Liu Xie? Not good!" Liu Zhang shouted loudly: "Inform your majesty immediately that Prince Bian is missing! You will set off immediately to find Prince Bian!"
"This..." He Lingsi looked at Liu Zhang in surprise and asked, "What happened? Why is the emperor's brother so panicked!"
Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "That beautiful lady Wang is very scheming. If her son gets even one or two points, Bian'er will not be able to deal with him! I am afraid that mother and son will join forces to frame Bian'er! There are many princes in the palace who have been assassinated.
!”
"This... what should I do?" Hearing that his son might be in danger, He Lingsi's beautiful face turned very pale. As the saying goes: Mother is more valuable than her son. Women in the palace, whether they are queens or concubines, have children.
The most important thing is that if there are no heirs, even the queen is not worth mentioning.
"Look! Find Prince Bian immediately!" Liu Zhang's face was as dark as water. He remembered that Liu Xie in history was scheming at the age of nine. Now, although Liu Xie is only five or six years old, there is no guarantee that he is not a snake-hearted person. Even if he is not, he can
There was also a beauty named Wang beside him. According to what He Lingsi said, beauty Wang had assassinated Liu Bian not just once or twice.
Liu Hong was playing naked in the palace with the palace maids. When he heard that his son was missing, he was furious. He just didn't know whether he was angry because his son was missing or because his mood was disturbed. However, when the emperor was angry, the entire palace
It's all messed up.
"Brother Emperor, what's going on?" Liu Hong, who came in a hurry, saw Liu Zhang and immediately asked him the whole story.
Liu Zhang said with a gloomy face: "Brother Emperor, I went to Jianzhang Palace for a banquet, but I didn't see Bian'er for nearly an hour. I'm worried that something happened to him!"
"What kind of accident can happen in the palace!" Liu Hong looked unhappy. Just because he didn't see Liu Bian for an hour, the palace was in chaos. This is too much. However, Liu Bian is Liu Hong's son after all, and Liu Zhang
Such behavior made Liu Hong swallow all his dissatisfaction.
When Liu Zhang saw that Liu Hong was not taking it seriously, he asked calmly: "Dare you ask, brother emperor, how did Emperor Zhi, Emperor Chong, and Emperor Ai die?"
"This..." Liu Hong's expression suddenly changed and he said, "You mean, someone is trying to harm Bian'er?"
"Brother Imperial, in fact, I don't want to interfere with your family affairs, but I am very close to you. If there is anything inappropriate, please forgive me!" Liu Zhang glanced at Liu Hong, but found that Liu Hong's eyes were very sharp.
"Everyone stand aside from me. No one is allowed to approach me or the Champion Marquis within a hundred steps!" After Liu Hong gave the order, he said to Liu Zhang in a deep voice: "My dear brother, please tell me, what comes out of your mouth and enters my ears here."
!”
Liu Zhang said softly: "Brother, you only have two sons, Bian'er and Xie'er. No matter who you want to make the crown prince, you must choose between the two sons. Empress He has the backing of a general and is on good terms with her younger brothers.
To be disrespectful, even if you let Xie'er be the crown prince in the future, he will not be able to sit still. If one of the two princes dies at this time, you can only choose the other one..."
Liu Hong's pupils shrank and he said, "You mean, someone is plotting against Bian'er for the sake of the throne?"
"Alas!" Liu Zhang sighed and said: "When you enter the house of a noble family, it is as deep as the sea. The most ruthless emperor's house! How many emperors have been as affectionate and righteous as the emperor brother since ancient times? For the sake of the throne, father and son killed each other.
Yes, let alone brothers? Even if Xie'er doesn't want to be the emperor, it doesn't mean that others don't want him to be the emperor!"
After listening to this, Liu Hong stared at Liu Zhang carefully for a long time, and suddenly asked: "What about you, the emperor's brother? From my perspective, you are also a member of the Han Dynasty, and you have outstanding abilities. Don't you want to be the emperor?"
Liu Zhang laughed and said: "What's the benefit of being an emperor? It's too tiring to be a wise emperor, but to be a coward will be scolded by others, even for thousands of years! It's boring! Maybe one day I want to be the emperor, but there are two things
I will not do anything to do this. One is to rebel against the emperor brother, and the other is to seize Bian'er's throne. If the world does not belong to the emperor or Bian'er, maybe I will make up my mind."
"What if I pass the throne to Xier?" Liu Hong stared at Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Let's talk about it then!"
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Liu Hong's eyes flashed coldly.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "If the emperor is really cruel enough to kill my brother, I will accept my fate!"
"Didn't you say that the emperor is the most ruthless? Why can't I be cruel?" Liu Hong's aura was a little weak, but he was still a little unconvinced.
Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Perhaps the emperor is not a wise king, but he is a benevolent king, especially affectionate and trustworthy. The most ruthless emperor's family is talking about the heroes, not the benevolent king like the emperor. Since he is a benevolent king, the emperor is a benevolent king.
How can he kill a minister for no reason, or a minister of the clan who has made great achievements like my younger brother?"
"Good boy, do you really think I don't know that?" Liu Hong laughed and said, "Nowadays, the dispute over the appointment of the crown prince in the imperial court is quite fierce. You actually want to tell me that you are a supporter of Bian'er, right?"
"No!" Liu Zhang looked at Liu Hong very proudly and said with a smile: "Actually, my brother is a supporter of the emperor's brother, and supporting Bian'er is just by the way. You must know that Bian'er is not only the eldest son of the emperor's brother, but also the eldest son of the emperor.
If the imperial brother wants to choose an heir, the younger brother will naturally follow the emperor's wishes. However, if the emperor asks the younger brother what he wants, the younger brother will naturally be more optimistic about Bian'er, because he and his mother are both kind-hearted.
man of!"
Liu Hong asked doubtfully: "What the emperor said is a bit biased! Then why is the empress so kind-hearted? Could it be that Beauty Wang is a snake-hearted person?"
"Brother Emperor, let's find Bian'er quickly!" Liu Zhang sighed. In fact, Wang Meiren had assassinated Liu Bian more than once or twice. Every time Empress He told Liu Hong, Liu Hong thought she was framed by Wang Meiren.
But Liu Zhang knew that none of the women in the palace were ordinary people.
"Your Majesty, there is news!" A small yellow doorman stood in the distance and shouted to Liu Hong. Liu Hong waved and he dared to come over.
"Where is the prince?" Liu Hong was not stupid. He heard a lot from Liu Zhang's words. In fact, if Liu Hong worked hard and with his intelligence, it would not be difficult to revive the Han Dynasty, but it is a pity that he spent all his intelligence on it.
Focus on making money.
"In... Guigong..." Seeing Liu Hong's face sinking like water, Xiao Huangmen swallowed his saliva and replied.
"Is he okay?" Liu Hong asked again.
Xiao Huangmen nodded and said: "When we found Prince Ben, Beauty Wang was trying to feed her. However, Prince Ben didn't seem to want to eat. Beauty Wang..."
"What!" Liu Hong's face became colder when he heard this, and he asked coldly: "The things that Mrs. Wang fed Bian'er were not thrown away, right?"
"No!" Xiao Huangmen said: "When the Queen ordered us to search for Prince Ben, she said that no matter where Prince Ben is found, the place will be sealed immediately, and no one or thing is allowed to move. The maids and chamberlains present are not allowed to move.
Take them all, even concubines and beauties!"
"Yes!" Liu Hong nodded and said, "Lead the way! The emperor's younger brother will come with me. I want to see who dares to harm my son in the palace!"
Liu Hong's words were full of anger and viciousness. Although Liu Hong was not a good emperor or a good husband, it was undeniable that he was a good father. As the little yellow gate came to the side hall of Gui Palace, all he saw was aggrieved.
Beauty Wang, several palace maids, and the chamberlain were caught by the guards, but Liu Bian sat aside with a surprised look on his face.
Seeing Liu Hong entering the palace, Wang Meiren immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, save me! I wanted to treat Prince Bian to a meal, but unexpectedly the Queen's people suddenly broke in and said that I was plotting against His Highness..."
"Shut up!" Looking at the decorations in the palace and what Liu Zhang said, how could Liu Hong not know the cause and effect of the matter? A few years ago, when Beauty Wang was favored, this would not have been a big deal. But now, Beauty Wang is more
He Lingsi was no better. What's more, Liu Zhang had already expressed his support for Liu Bian, and Liu Hong would certainly not show favor to Miss Wang.
