The emperor's eyes suddenly shrank!
After a long time, he relaxed and chuckled: "I have guessed this before, but I don't dare to guess. This guy is so courageous. I am very surprised! Continue talking."
"yes."
The visitor unfolded the secret letter, from Zhou Che's disappearance in the army, to the mysterious Zhou Jiao's appearance to save the Huo family, establishing the Salt Gang, defeating Hedong, and conquering the Li family...
"The latest news we received is that he went to the west and is said to have killed Guo Zhenyue!"
The emperor nodded: "How can the eyeliner confirm that he is Lao Liu? Just rely on timing to infer?"
"First, there is a swordsman guard beside him, who should be Gai Yue who also disappeared recently."
"Secondly, the Hedong Shen family he supports on the stage. According to our intelligence, the Shen family and the Zhen family have a very deep relationship secretly."
"Thirdly, Lu Sinong specially allocated a batch of powerful crossbow elite armor to the Sixth Prince, but this batch of equipment did not appear in the army... And Zhou Jiao happens to have such a powerful elite in his hands!"
The smile on the emperor's face grew stronger: "What else?"
The eunuch raised his head and glanced at the emperor, his voice slightly lowered: "The second prince was defeated. It is suspected that someone deliberately betrayed military intelligence."
Hearing this, the smile on the Emperor's face suddenly disappeared, and he snorted coldly: "Fighting until there is no bottom line is so audacious! Did Lao Wu do it?"
"This... we have no evidence."
"Of course you can't get the evidence!" The emperor sneered: "If Lao Wu wants to do things in Hedong, he must go through the Li family. The evidence is now in Lao Liu's hands."
Speaking of this, a meaningful look appeared on his face: "Go and invite Marquis Pingyang."
"yes!"
Pingyanghou, namely Da Sima, Zongzheng and Zhou Chong.
He was the younger brother of the late emperor. Zhou Chongnian was only nine years old when the late emperor ascended the throne. Because of his kind nature, he was deeply loved by the late emperor.
After the crowning, the former emperor conferred a title of king, but Zhou Chong did not accept it; he also conferred a title of county prince, but he did not accept it. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he was granted the title of Marquis of Pingyang County.
As for the position of Da Sima, it is located above the three Dukes and is an honorary position. This position does not directly hold power.
His main job is Zong Zhengqing, who is in charge of the royal family, ancestral halls and family affairs - the emperor's marriage, the creation of heirs and the dismissal of princes, all are handled by Zong Zhengfu.
The Zongzhengs of the past dynasties were mostly 'good old men', in order to alleviate the cruel battle for the heir apparent.
They hardly take sides in the DPRK, they only try to ease the struggle between the parties, and their status is aloof.
After a while, a little old man with a kind face came over and said, "I have met your Majesty."
"Why should your uncle be so polite?"
The emperor personally helped him up and put the secret letter into his hands: "Uncle, please take a look."
"yes."
After seeing it, Zhou Chong's face showed surprise: "The Sixth Prince is so brave, it is a blessing to His Majesty and the world!"
"He did a great job in Hedong." The emperor smiled noncommittally, and then shook his head: "But this chair cannot be filled with just two words of bravery."
Zhou Chong was confused: "Your Majesty means..."
"Lao Er was defeated in the previous battle and the Forbidden Army was killed on the north bank. Lao Wu should have revealed the news through Li."
The emperor's tone was calm, but Zhou Chong read the indifference in his eyes and immediately sighed: "Your Highness is confused!"
"Now, Lao Liu has become a miracle worker, and the evidence and the Li family have fallen into his hands." The emperor continued.
Zhou Chong's eyes were startled: "You mean, His Highness the Sixth Prince will be exposed when he returns to the court?"
If there is no evidence, then everything can only be speculation, and the matter can be dealt with coldly.
But once Zhou Che reveals everything to the world, the emperor will be framed and it will be difficult to avoid it.
"Based on Lao Liu's fearless character, this is certain." The emperor shook his head: "So, I want to ask the emperor what he wants to do with Lao Wu at that time."
The old man opened his robe, knelt down on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The race for heirs has just begun. Please be merciful, Your Majesty, so as not to cause more serious harm in the future!"
"Uncle Emperor, what are you doing?!" The emperor quickly helped him up and said, "I understand what you mean."
Daxia's seizure of the heirloom was extremely bloody and cruel in every generation.
But in the first game, the emperor often exerts control to avoid bloodshed. On the one hand, it seems that the "holy emperor controls the world with benevolence and virtue", and on the other hand, it can suppress the subsequent competition.
"The Li family was a relative of the emperor, but they conspired with thieves, resulting in the defeat of the imperial army and the devastation of the entire family."
"The fifth prince Ming took away the position of heir due to his wife's family mistake, drove him out of Luojing, and placed him in a fiefdom."
"how?"
After a while, the emperor had come up with a solution.
Zhou Chong immediately nodded: "Your Majesty is wise!"
"As for Lao Liu..." The emperor's eyes flickered, and finally he sighed with regret: "Although this boy gave me a surprise, when you are in the world, you must look at the overall situation, rather than just showing off the courage of a man."
"Since he is good at fighting and dares to fight, when the time comes for him to choose a piece of land in the Northeast and Southwest, let him be a warrior on the edge of the town."
Zhou Chong also sighed, but didn't say anything more.
Just when the two of them had finalized everything, the small yellow door outside suddenly came in and announced: "Your Majesty, His Majesty the Fifth Prince has something urgent to see you."
"Huh!?" The emperor frowned: Could it be that this kid also knew that Zhou Jiao was Zhou Che and came to him in advance to plead for mercy?
"It seems that the fifth prince is really well established in Hedong, which is a pity." The emperor sneered and said, "Let him come in."
"yes!"
After a while, Zhou Ming entered and saluted the emperor first.
Suddenly seeing Zhou Chong there, he immediately bent down and said, "I've seen the emperor's uncle."
Zhou Chong quickly returned the gift.
Zhou Chong was invited directly. Could it be that his father had already planned to take action against Lao Liu... Zhou Ming's eyes flashed, and he couldn't hold back his joy.
The emperor asked: "What's the matter in such a hurry?"
"To inform my father, Zhou Jiao has surrendered to my son, and the surrender letter is signed here!"
Zhou Ming's face turned red with excitement and he spoke loudly.
"What did you say!?"
The emperor who was sitting upright stood up in excitement.
Seeing the emperor's reaction, Zhou Ming almost took off happily.
have a look! It makes my dad so happy!
