Li Yuanda sat on the throne and wiped his tears. He listened to Liu Taifu gushing about the precious concubine for a long time, and finally saw him change his face, turned the blade, and struck King Yong directly: "King Yong is a vassal king. Thanks to His Majesty's love and affection, he never left the vassal state and stayed in the capital. Is this how he repays His Majesty's grace?!"
Li Yuanda hurriedly explained to King Yong: "My brother, I know it myself. He is probably also temporarily confused by women. He has no bad intentions..."
"Your Majesty, now that things have come to this, why do you need to deceive yourself again?!"
Taifu Liu's eyes were horrified, and there was a hint of unbearability in his expression: "You are kind by nature and treat King Yong leniently, but how did he treat you? What I am worried about is not the harem and King Yong's dirty palace. , but the secret passage that can enter the palace at any time!"
"Before the incident, did you know about the secret passage? You didn't know, but King Yong knew it! He knew it, but he concealed it and did not tell His Majesty! What did King Yong intend to do? Did he have a treasonous intention?!"
Li Yuanda suddenly changed his expression: "How can Taifu so alienate my Tian family's flesh and blood!"
"Your Majesty! Now that things have come to this, I would like to ask your Majesty to listen to what I have to say!"
Taifu Liu lifted up his clothes, knelt down, and after the ceremony, he said sincerely: "There is a secret passage in the palace leading to the imperial city, and there is a gap in the palace guard. Since King Yong had seen this, why didn't he tell his majesty? ? Huaguang Palace is where the harem is located, but King Yong can sneak in through the secret passage at any time. Who is the biological father of the son in the precious concubine's belly? Don't you think your Majesty is wondering?"
"Since we are building a secret tunnel, there is no reason to build only one. From what I see, Your Majesty should really investigate this matter thoroughly while the concubine and the prince and princess are taking refuge in the palace, and check for hidden dangers, just in case!"
Looking up again, he saw hesitation on the emperor's face, and he became more and more anxious: "Your Majesty, even if we don't mention the secret passage, what is the explanation for the two fake chamberlains captured by the inner guards? King Yong sent his retainers to pretend to be chamberlains. What does he want to do by sneaking into Da Nei?!"
Li Yuanda frowned, and after a long time, he finally sighed: "I will ask the internal guards to check the remaining tunnels in the palace one by one for peace of mind. And King Yong, I hope that the Taifu can go there for me..."
Taifu Liu: "Are we going to send him to prison? Then we can't let Zong Zheng go with me?"
A flash of displeasure flashed across the gentle and noble monarch's face: "Master!"
He lowered his voice and said sadly: "King Yong is my flesh and blood brother after all. I don't believe that he would have such treasonous thoughts. You are my teacher and you have taught King Yong. I want you to go there." Prince Yong's Mansion, ask Prince Yong if he has anything to say to me, as for the noble concubine..."
Li Yuanda made a melancholy and affectionate expression: "I hope she can be happy."
Taifu Liu: "..."
Taifu Liu: "????"
Are you OK? ! !
He was so heartbroken that he wished he could immediately arrest and kill the traitorous king and concubine hiding in the darkness: "Your Majesty!!!"
Taifu Liu almost roared: "King Yong has evil intentions, and the imperial concubine is messing up the harem. How can you let it go so easily?! If you don't thoroughly investigate the matter and reprimand King Yong for his rebellious and unethical behavior, how will you treat the courtiers and the world?" An explanation?!”
Li Yuanda covered his face with his sleeves, and his clothes were wet with tears. He looked unbearable, and his whole body exuded the aura of white lotus: "King Yong, I really don't want to doubt my hands and feet. I must be a confused person." , without any dissuasion, this kind of thing happened just now. Isn’t the mansion where the entrance to the secret passage is also in the name of Liang Wenmin? It’s enough to put Liang Wenmin in jail and hold him accountable. "
Taifu Liu: "..."
Your Majesty, you are really too soft-hearted!
And King Yong!
Originally, he only thought that King Yong was confused. The reason why he did this kind of thing was probably because the woman was bewitching him and Chang Shi did not dissuade him. After a thorough investigation, the emperor ordered a reprimand. At most, he would be deprived of his title and imprisoned.
But now that the emperor is trying his best to protect him and confuses the audience with some tea talk, Liu Taifu's impression of King Yong is no longer very good.
My brother treats you with all his heart and soul, and even before you get the title of Prince, he gives you the most prosperous fiefdom, and allows you to stay in Chang'an without any need for an official position - it's just that you don't care about him, but you are so greedy and greedy. Datong has neither the loyalty of his ministers nor the righteousness of his brothers. What can we do with such a disloyal and unjust person? !
Taifu Liu left angrily.
…
Prince Yong's Mansion.
King Yong stopped in the courtyard, his handsome brows full of concern. When he saw two maids in green shirts coming out of the inner room holding trays, he breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to greet them.
But I saw that the two maids had troubled expressions on their faces. After meeting King Yong, they frowned and shook their heads in embarrassment: "The nobles refuse to eat or take medicine."
The hope in King Yong's eyes instantly faded, and his eyes showed pain. He punched the wooden frame under the corridor, and his voice was trembling with regret: "Linlang, she was hurt by the emperor brother." Heart……"
After sighing, King Yong said again: "There is a hundred-year-old purple ginseng gifted by Da Nei in the mansion. I sent it to the kitchen to cook. I'll let her take a sip to make her happy."
His expression gradually became dim, and his tone added a bit of sourness: "After all, she is not alone now, and she is still pregnant with a child."
The two maids responded and saluted King Yong. When they were about to retreat, Chief Shi Liang Wenmin came over in a hurry: "Your Majesty."
King Yong composed himself and waved his hand to send the maid away: "Wenmin, why did you come here at this time?"
Liang Wenmin's eyes were worried and he whispered: "Brothers Wei Chun and Wei Dong have never come back. I am very worried..."
King Yong didn't expect that he would mention this, and couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, the two brothers are both first-class martial arts players, nothing will happen to them. From the time of the fire to now, only the past has passed. It’s just one night, please wait patiently.”
Liang Wenmin smiled reluctantly: "I hope so."
King Yong, however, looked worried and looked at the closed door not far away with unconcealed admiration: "Linlang is really determined to die. I can save her people, but I can't save her heart." .”
"Brother Imperial, Brother Imperial," he said sadly and with an unfair expression: "Since you married her, why didn't you treat her well? How could you let down such a good woman like Linlang!"
King Yong was talking to Chief Shi Liang Wenmin when he saw someone hurriedly coming from outside to report: "Your Majesty, Master Liu is here."
"What is this old guy doing?" King Yong frowned.
He originally had no ill feelings towards Taifu Liu, but when Deng Linlang entered the palace, he was attacked and scolded by the old guy and his disciples in turn. As an admirer, he It was inevitable that I would feel unhappy. Now that I heard Taifu Liu came to visit, I didn’t want to pay much attention to it.
Just then I thought about it. After all, this old guy had been a teacher for me and the emperor, and he was quite famous among the scholars. He endured it and ordered the attendant: "Please go to the main hall and wait for a while. After I change my clothes, I will come." Go meet guests."
…
After all, he was a veteran of several dynasties. Taifu Liu had a more upright temperament, but he also looked down upon King Yong. He was always scheming. After meeting him, his face did not show any strange color, and he was as polite as ever. treat each other.
After a brief exchange of greetings, he asked King Yong to retreat, and then got straight to the point: "This time, I'm here for the Holy Spirit."
King Yong himself had done something wrong, and it was inevitable that he would feel guilty. After listening to Taifu Liu's words, he couldn't help but change his color slightly.
However, he also knew that the matter was of great importance, and he was determined not to expose himself. He quickly covered it up and said with a smile: "Why didn't the tutor mention it when he started?"
Taifu Liu stared at him closely and sighed: "It is precisely because the Holy One cares about brothers and sisters and does not want to hurt the brotherhood."
When King Yong heard this, he let go of his previous worries.
Of course he knows that his brother treats him well.
He has everything including royal title, glory, and favor. Among his brothers, there are not a few who left the official position at the age of seven or eight. Only he has stayed in Chang'an because he and his brother have the same mother. And it looks like it can continue to stay.
This is all due to his brother's love and care for him, and King Yong understands it.
So at this time, Taifu Liu came to the door and said something, and he knew the unfinished meaning of this old man's words.
——Your brother knows all the things you did behind his back, but he didn’t want to embarrass you, so he didn’t reveal it!
King Yong was really relieved.
Taifu Liu had been staring at King Yong with a good eye, and naturally he did not miss the relief in his eyes and the shoulders that relaxed quickly, but it was precisely because of this that King Yong's reaction made him even more angry.
Do you know what you did? !
You sneaked into the Forbidden Palace and took away the Holy Emperor's concubine!
If it were an ordinary family, that would be fine. It would be fine if the elder brother gave a concubine to his younger brother. But your brother is the emperor and you are the prince!
Have you ever put your brother in your eyes, and have you ever thought about how much damage your behavior will cause to your brother's face? !
What's more important is that when you learned that there was a tunnel outside the palace that could lead to the Forbidden Palace, you never thought of telling your brother about it. Instead, you asked your chief minister to come forward and buy the mansion. You What kind of peace of mind is this? !
After the incident, the Holy Spirit excused you in every possible way out of love and care for your younger brother, and could not bear to ask for your guilt. However, you, the younger brother who committed the crime of treason, did not even feel the slightest apology. ? !
Taifu Liu was furious.
On one side is the well-behaved student who he has watched grow up, and has implemented the four words "brothers and friends, kindness" to his bones;
On the other side is a heartless beast, enjoying his brother's favor, coveting his brother's position, and not forgetting to take a moment to put a hat on his brother's head. Do you think this is still a human being? !
It's just that he had a deep mind and endured it for a long time. He stood up and said: "The Holy Spirit's intention is that everything should stop with Liang Wenmin. The old minister will take him away. That's the end of the matter."
Liang Wenmin is the long history of Prince Yong's Mansion and is also Prince Yong's right-hand man. Prince Yong himself insists on saving Deng Linlang, so how can he let his subordinates take the blame for him?
If Mrs. Liu really takes away Liang Wenmin, how can the rest of the family dare to serve him wholeheartedly again!
He is the only legitimate son in the dynasty. He has been doted on by his mother and elder brother since he was a child. He also heard from Taifu Liu that the emperor cherished him and did not intend to make this matter a big deal, so he felt confident and salivated at the moment. Acting like a scoundrel, Yiyi pulled Taifu Liu's sleeve and said, "Since the emperor is so generous, why not be generous to the end? Liang Wenmin is the chief historian of my house, so I made it easy and asked Taifu to take him with me. I'm afraid there will be chaos in the house soon."
He also begged: "Please be magnanimous, Taifu, and make peace in the middle. Please spare him, brother!"
Taifu Liu: "..."
Taifu Liu: "????"
I was shocked for a whole year!
There are such shameless people in the world! ! !
Even the Holy One doesn't hold you accountable for your treason, yet you can't even bear to leave a long history? !
What kind of bicycle do you need to ride a horse?
"His Royal Highness King Yong," he almost laughed out of anger: "I dare to ask Your Highness, where do you put the Holy Emperor?"
King Yong naturally also knows how to look at people's faces. When he saw Taifu Liu's worried expression, he felt unhappy. He said to himself that even my brother, the emperor, doesn't care about me, but you, an old man, insist on insisting on it.
He was muttering in his heart, but he didn't say it directly. He was still patient and joking: "The little king naturally respects the emperor brother very much in his heart."
Mrs. Liu said in her heart, “Fuck your mother!”
I'm so sorry, the Queen Mother, it's really you who gave birth to this rebellious son, you are such a bastard!
The sage talks about what is tolerable and what is intolerable. The sage cares about brotherhood and retreats again and again. But what about you, King Yong?
Have you given any thought to your Majesty? !
If such a disloyal and unjust person is allowed to indulge this time, he will definitely cause disaster in the future!
The country has been raising men for a hundred and fifty years, and today is the Day of Death for the Righteousness. If the country has peace and tranquility for a hundred years, and a holy foundation that lasts for thousands of years, what if I have to work hard with my old bones?
When Taifu Liu came to Prince Yong's Mansion, he was simmering with anger. Just out of the basic qualities of a politician, he made up his mind and deliberately made the matter bigger, and he immediately exploded.
At that moment, he spoke sternly: "Your Majesty, I also taught you the Book of Songs back then. Have you forgotten everything? Rats have a body, but humans are rude, and humans are rude! Hu Buxie is dead?!"
King Yong felt that he had been treating him politely, but he didn't expect that the other party suddenly burst out and started to attack wildly. While he was shocked, his handsome face turned red with anger: "Taifu Liu, you are too presumptuous!"
"Is this old minister so arrogant? Is it possible that my lord can be more arrogant than you, my lord?"
Taifu Liu's face was covered with clouds, his lips and tongue were like daggers: "Having an affair with the concubine, the palace was filthy and messy first, the secret passage in the palace was secretly taken, the treachery was behind, and he also ordered the palace guests to sneak into the palace with evil intentions. I dare to ask Your Majesty, what do you want?!"
King Yong was dumbfounded by his question and trembled beyond words. After a few moments, he became furious and said, "Stop spitting blood! When will I..."
One party deliberately launched an attack, and the other refused to admit it. The following scene became extremely chaotic, because there were only two people in the main hall at that time, King Yong and Taifu Liu, and it was impossible to tell who was right and who was wrong.
When the attendants guarding the outside heard that something was wrong inside, they rushed in and saw King Yong standing aside with a face full of panic. Taifu Liu was dying and fell to the ground.
Liu Taifu entered Prince Yong's Mansion standing upright and was carried out horizontally. After returning home and being given a few injections by the imperial doctor, he sat up with force and dictated himself, asking his son to write down the notes and impeach King Yong's madness. Several crimes including rudeness, conspiracy, etc. were directly revealed that day, but it was just kept a secret by the venerable to avoid the matter of the imperial concubine.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
