"The city of Chang'an is in crisis now. I really don't know who to trust anymore..."
Liu Qi hesitated for a moment, but still did not reach out for the imperial decree. His voice was full of exhaustion when he spoke.
"Why did Your Highness say this?"
When he said this, Liu Deng couldn't understand it.
He, the current prince, is no longer a newbie who just came to power.
He has been supervising the country on behalf of the emperor for some time. It cannot be said that he is full-fledged, at least now he is surrounded by countless people.
How could you say such words at this time?
"You get up first, and we'll talk about it after watching this!"
While Liu Qi was speaking, he picked up a dozen memorials from the table beside him and handed them to Liu Deng.
Liu Deng didn't doubt that he stepped forward to take the memorial. After just casually browsing it for a few times, cold sweat began to break out on Liu Deng's forehead.
Although the names of these people were unfamiliar to him, secondly, the official positions of all these people were more than two thousand dan!
The contents of this memorial were all similar, and they unanimously asked the emperor to reconsider the choice of crown prince.
If you look through it carefully, there are actually a few marquis...
This is clearly a clear-cut stand on the side of King Liang!
Liu Deng now understood what was going on.
If Liu Deng guessed correctly, it is estimated that the emperor's illness should have a lot to do with these memorials.
In this context, the meaning of King Liang's arbitrarily leading troops back to Beijing without permission has a completely different meaning.
"Your Highness, these people have ulterior motives, please Your Highness to dismiss them quickly and investigate!"
Liu Deng understood immediately. Come here, it seems that this should be the second level for the prince to test himself!
After thinking about this, he immediately stood up and said loudly.
"Do you really think so? Don't you think Awu is more suitable for this throne than me?"
Liu Qi's eyes were a little confused, but he still looked into Liu Deng's eyes seriously.
"Why did uncle say this? Although Uncle Wang has outstanding military achievements and is kind to others, abolishing the elders and establishing young ones has always been the source of chaos! What's more, in Liu Deng's humble opinion, compared to Uncle Wang, My uncle is the best choice for the throne!"
Liu Deng also immediately felt Liu Qi's gaze, so he changed his title to uncle.
"Do you really think so?"
Liu Qi's eyes were a little complicated.
In recent times, the relationship between him and Liu Deng has become quite estranged.
Originally, he had been worried whether Liu Deng would directly favor Prince Liang at this time, but he did not expect that Liu Deng would still side with him without hesitation.
"The prince is the crown prince of the country. Since the uncle has not made any mistakes, why should he be deposed? Just because Uncle Wang has made military exploits? Although it is said that the establishment of Uncle Wang has made immortal contributions, but that is not his status. It's the duty of the Han Dynasty! Don't you think that brothers who fight tigers, father and son, go into battle? As a blood relative of His Majesty, a brother of His Highness, if the rebels come, if he doesn't resist them, how can he expect others to fight for their lives? ?"
Liu Deng's words were said into Liu Qi's heart.
After all, people are selfish. Even Liu Qi, a humble gentleman who has been taught since childhood, is still a bit dirty in his heart...
When Liu Deng said this with his own ears, Liu Qi even felt a little guilty.
After all, no matter what the purpose was, he and the emperor had been suspicious of Liu Deng before, but Liu Deng actually resolutely chose to side with him at this time.
This magnanimity alone was enough to make him feel ashamed.
"I didn't expect that you would have such knowledge at such a young age..."
Liu Qi sighed, then stepped forward and patted Liu Deng on the shoulder. For a moment, he couldn't say anything else.
He had already prepared a lot of words to persuade Liu Deng, but he didn't expect Liu Deng to stand on his side without saying a word.
"Uncle, I wonder where Uncle Wang is now? How will uncle deal with these people now?"
In any case, they are a family after all, and Liang Wang and Liu Deng actually have a very good relationship.
Liu Deng really didn't want to draw a sword against the King of Liang if it was not necessary.
"According to their itinerary, they should be able to reach Chang'an City in seven or eight days at most..."
Liu Deng couldn't help biting his lip. This matter was really tricky.
If we really wait until King Liang's troops arrive at the city, things will really be irreversible!
If the two sides really went to war, King Liang and the prince would have no choice but to fight each other!
"There are at least 70,000 to 80,000 troops in Chang'an City. Why would Uncle Wang do such an unwise thing?"
This is something Liu Deng really can't understand. Even the soldiers of the Liang Kingdom are all veterans who have fought for a long time and survived the blood and fire. However, after all, the defenders of Chang'an City refused to fight against the city. war.
The city of Chang'an, Gao Chijian, has been repairing the city's defenses since the founding of the Han Dynasty. What can he do with just 20,000 people?
"Perhaps you don't know yet, but the woman A Wu adopted last month is Wang Huanzhi's daughter! And Wang Huanzhi didn't even mention it at all!"
When Liu Qi said this, he punched the table in front of him heavily.
Liu Deng was stunned. For a moment, he didn't even know what he was going to say.
Now he finally understood. No wonder Liu Qi said such words before.
Although there are only 20,000 Jinwu Guards, they are not only responsible for the Suwei Palace, but also responsible for maintaining law and order in Chang'an City!
It can be said that whoever gets this position will really be the emperor's confidant.
At this time, Liang Wang Liu Wu married a daughter of Wang Huanzhi, but Wang Huanzhi did not report a word to the emperor and the prince.
There was really no way to stop Liu Qi from thinking about this matter.
Who is Wang Huanzhi?
He is the emperor's confidant!
Moreover, he did not lead him in Chang'an City for only one or two days.
In his position, if he doesn't know about this matter, it will definitely not be excused!
Even he has done such a thing, who else in the DPRK can be trusted?
"What are you going to do, uncle?"
Think again about the new faces you met today and Liu Qi's performance just now.
Liu Deng was very smart and did not ask Wang Huanzhi what happened, but directly asked Liu Qi what his next plan was.
"It's not what I want to do, but what Awu is going to do?"
After Liu Qi was silent for a moment, he said a little disappointed.
"How about I go talk to Uncle Wang?"
Liu Deng hesitated for a moment, then considered his words.
"It's better not to do that for the time being. The Huns envoys arrived in Beijing yesterday, and the envoys from Dongou, Minyue, and Nanyue also made excuses to delay their departure. I really don't have the time to deal with their affairs. Since you have already arrived, please go ahead. Send them away on my behalf!"
The matter has not yet reached the final step. Of course, Liu Qi did not want Liu Deng and Liu Wu to communicate at this time, so he directly rejected Liu Deng's proposal.
Liu Deng thought for a moment and understood immediately.
Apparently, the prince was worried that he would be persuaded by Liu Wu.
If he loses everything by stealing the chicken, then his position as the crown prince will be really in jeopardy!
"promise!"
Liu Deng took a deep breath, and then placed the scroll in his hand on the prince's table...
