"What did you say!"
The Buddhist beads in Queen Mother Su Jianli's hand suddenly fell off, and the broken beads rolled all over the floor. Su Jianli, who was dressed in plain clothes, broke out in a cold sweat at Liu Li's words. Her beautiful face was full of fear and panic.
.Perhaps because the movement of standing up was too violent, Su Jianli felt dizzy. She held on to the chair to steady herself, and raised her finger tremblingly to point at Liu Li.
"Can you say that again!"
Su Jianli asked.
Liu Li gritted his teeth, raised his chin and said, "The rebel Liu Ling has been killed by my men on his way south!"
Snapped!
Su Jianli slapped Liu Li in the face, and several clear red fingerprints suddenly appeared on Liu Li's face, which was already fair and unusually fair. Su Jianli pointed at Liu Li with a pale face, and her body shook violently
Trembling, his mouth opened wide, and finally turned into an angry rebuke that was almost a roar: "You are brave!"
Liu Li raised his head stubbornly, covered his face and said: "Mother, I did not lie, this is true!"
Su Jianli raised his hand to hit again, but it stopped helplessly in mid-air.
"Your Majesty, I have always told you to cherish these days, why are you willing to be more practical? The emperor's uncle has made great contributions to the country and the country of Han Dynasty. If this is the case, please don't say it again in the future!"
Liu Li said anxiously: "Mother! Why don't you believe me? I didn't lie, nor did I curse others to death like a child just to vent my anger! I said he was dead! He is really dead!"
Liu Li looked directly into Su Jianli's eyes without flinching at all.
"Say it again!"
Su Jianli suppressed his anger, and his dignified and beautiful face became a little distorted.
"The Queen Mother... Your Majesty is right, I can prove it."
Pei Zhan, who was covered by a black robe, slowly walked into the room, bowed and saluted Su Jianli. After saying that, he straightened up and did not avoid the angry look that Su Jianli looked over: "Your Majesty is right, King Han
Liu Ling is really dead. In Hedaochuan, not far north of Bozhou, the King of Han returned south incognito and was besieged by tens of thousands of troops. The King of Han and his accompanying guards were all dead."
Su Jianli suppressed the fear and shock in his heart, looked at Pei Zhan and asked, "Who are you? Why should I believe your words?"
Pei Zhan said calmly: "I am Pei Zhan, the military commander of the Ding'an Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I was once a defeated general under Liu Ling, the king of Han Dynasty. Now I am your majesty's adviser. There is no need for the queen mother to doubt my words, because no one knows this better than me.
The truth is true. Because... I sent people to kill the King of Han and his entourage. Although King Liu Ling of Han defeated me on the battlefield, I still have tens of thousands of elite soldiers. I learned that Liu Ling went south incognito, so this opportunity
, does the Queen Mother think I will let it go?"
Su Jianli took a deep breath and said: "I understand, it turns out that you are instigating His Majesty. Your Majesty is very abnormal these days, and I think he was also bewitched by you. Who is the King of Han? How can a bereaved dog like you do this?
Can you kill me? You are provoking Your Majesty because you want to overthrow the country of Han Dynasty out of hatred, right? The Great Zhou Dynasty is dead and the Han Dynasty is strong. As a military governor of the Zhou Kingdom, you are naturally unwilling to fail.
, so I tried every possible means to sneak into the palace to get close to His Majesty, with the intention of driving a wedge between His Majesty and the Emperor's uncle, right?"
Su Jianli took a deep breath, and without waiting for Pei Zhan to answer, she shouted loudly: "Where are the inner guards?! Capture this spy of the Zhou Kingdom!"
Liu Li took Su Jianli's hand and said: "Empress Mother...I have removed all the guards in the palace. Empress Mother, please believe me. Liu Ling is really dead, and there is no complete body! I remember to talk to the Queen Mother."
He said that sooner or later, I will kill Liu Ling to pieces. Now, with the help of Pei Zhan, I have done it! I really did it! My father, who is still in heaven, will definitely be proud of me.
"
Su Jianli took two steps back and looked at Liu Li, tears sliding down his fair cheeks: "Li'er, do you know how big of a mistake you have made? Uncle Huang... If Uncle Huang really dies,
, the country of this great Han Dynasty will soon be in turmoil! Your Majesty will throw away the country and country that the late emperor left to you, and a disaster is not far away for the Liu family!"
Liu Li curled his lips and said, "Mother's words are serious!"
He raised his chin and said: "This big man is my big man, not Liu Ling's! I am the king and he is the minister. If the minister is disobedient, the king will naturally kill him. If the king wants the minister to die, the minister must die! The queen mother said Liu Ling
Will the great Han Dynasty be in turmoil once he dies? My mother is wrong, as long as I am still here, the great Han Dynasty will not collapse!"
After a pause, he changed his pleading tone and said: "But Liu Ling has trusted people all over the government and the public. If these rebellious ministers and traitors cause trouble, it will be really troublesome. I have no one else to rely on, only my mother and queen can help me!"
Liu Li persuaded: "My son has persuaded General Lang Qing of the Yulin Guards to help. As long as the queen mother nods, Lang Qing will immediately start arresting people. Hou Shen, Xie Huanran, Lu Sen... none of Liu Ling's confidants can
Stay! Without hiding it from the mother, the son has a group of dead soldiers who are loyal to him. The son has sent them and Pei Zhan’s men to the Han Palace. If nothing else happens, there is no one alive in the Han Palace at this time. Mother, the queen has arrived.
At this step, wouldn’t the queen mother be willing to help her son once?”
He took two steps forward, grabbed the corner of Su Jianli's clothes and said: "When Liu Ling forced her to step in, her mother had to compromise, and her sons saw it, and they swore that they would cut Liu Ling into pieces.
! Now the big thing has been accomplished, but without the help of the Queen Mother, the sons and ministers may not be able to overcome the situation. Queen Mother, don’t hesitate anymore. The city defense army general Lu Shisan is Liu Ling’s man. If he finds out, he will lead the troops first.
If we enter the city, the situation will be difficult to control."
Su Jianli let out a long sigh, and tears fell down like broken beads: "Li'er, you really made a big mistake!"
She looked at Liu Li's little hand grabbing the corner of her clothes, which touched the softness in her heart.
"Lang Qing really promised you?"
After Su Jianli asked this question, she knew that she would never give up. All the efforts she had made over the years to keep her son's throne might be in vain. She didn't know that after today,
What is the future for herself and Liu Li? She really could not have imagined that her son would collude with outsiders to kill Liu Ling. She had no hatred for Liu Ling in her heart. What Jiafeng Emperor Liu Zhuo and her husband did back then stood against an emperor.
From a perspective, there may not be anything wrong. But it is no longer that time. The world of this big man was carried by Liu Ling, and it was the King of Han who defeated it with one sword and one shot.
Liu Ling did not resist, but always respected the mother and son. Su Jianli actually felt deeply grateful to Liu Ling in her heart.
The winner is king, but Liu Ling did not embarrass their mother and son.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. Lang Qing was originally left by the father to his son. Although he dismissed the Qilin Guard, he was still loyal to his father after all. Before the son came to see his mother, Lang Qing had already assembled the Yulin Guards.
, I’m just waiting for the queen mother’s will.”
Su Jianli took a deep breath, then looked at Pei Zhan and asked, "I don't care what your purpose is, but please don't lie to me. The King of Han...has really passed away?"
Pei Zhan glanced at the young emperor Liu Li, then nodded and said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, it's absolutely true."
Su Jianli quietly clenched his fists, and his face gradually calmed down: "Preaching the order, Xu Shen, the bachelor of the Military Aircraft Department, and the city defense general Lu Shisan came to see me. Send the order, Xie Huanran, the bachelor of the Military Aircraft Department, came in
Palace, let him wait in Chengming Palace, I will go later."
Su Jianli's attendant nodded quickly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and trotted out to deliver the order.
Su Jianli looked at Liu Li and said, "Xie Huanran, the great scholar, has just recently joined the Military Aircraft Department. He does not have much involvement with the King of Han. This man is very young and very capable. Your Majesty will not be able to govern without important ministers in the future."
Assistant. Xie Huanran can try to fight for it. If he doesn't agree, then kill him."
Liu Li was surprised and said: "It all depends on the arrangement of the queen!"
He turned around and ordered: "Pei Zhan, go to the Han Palace and have a look!"
As soon as Pei Zhan raised his head, a hint of fierceness flashed away: "Wei Chen...... I obey the order!"
Pei Zhan turned around and walked out without looking back.
After Pei Zhan left, Su Jianli took Liu Li's hand and asked: "Li'er, when did this person come to you? Uncle Huang...is he really dead...dead?"
Liu Li said dissatisfiedly: "Why does the queen miss that rebel so much?"
Su Jianli was suffocated. She suddenly understood something, and the look in her eyes towards her son changed slightly: "Your Majesty... Pei Zhan cannot stay!"
She stood up straight and suddenly said: "Pray for blessings and kill that person just now."
An elderly eunuch appeared out of nowhere, bowed and said, "I obey my command!"
After saying that, the eunuch disappeared in a flash, and his fast eyes could hardly keep up with his movements. Just an afterimage flashed by, and he had disappeared without a trace.
Liu Li opened his mouth wide in surprise and looked outside in disbelief.
Su Jianli took a deep breath and said, "Let's go see Lang Qing first, and then go to Chengming Hall to see Xie Huanran."
Half an hour later, General Lang Qing of the Yulin Guards led five thousand Yulin Guards out and surrounded the residences of many civil and military ministers. Then they blocked the streets and declared martial law, and the people were not allowed to go out. The Grand Bachelor of the Military Aircraft Department entered the palace.
Hou Shen and the city defense general Lu Shisan were taken into custody, locked up in a side hall and tied up. Two thousand people from the Yulin Guards surrounded the headquarters of the Overwatch Council, sealed the entrance and exit gates, and announced the Queen Mother's decree.
Anyone who breaks out will be shot without mercy.
Chengming Hall.
Xie Huanran suddenly raised his head to look at the Queen Mother Su Jianli, then lowered his head: "My lord... but it depends on the Queen Mother's orders."
Su Jianli nodded and said: "A bachelor is a person who understands the overall situation. Since...since it has happened, don't think about other things. The most important thing is to stabilize the country of our country. The country must be stable."
, the imperial court must be stable first. If the imperial court is stable, then the foundation will be solid. Only you, the great bachelors of the Military Aircraft Department, can stabilize today's situation. I hope that the great bachelors will not disappoint my entrustment."
Xie Huanran sighed: "Since the King of Han is dead... I have no choice. I know what to do, so I ask the Queen Mother to give me the order to reorganize the military aircraft department."
"That's right!"
"I want military power!"
Xie Huanran raised his head and said.
Su Jianli hesitated and nodded: "That's right."
Xie Huanran put forward two more conditions, and Su Jianli agreed to them all. Liu Li was very dissatisfied with Xie Huanran's bargaining attitude, but he was suppressed by Su Jianli so he didn't get angry. He didn't like such a minister because he was
Xie Huanran didn't see much expression of sincerity on his face. But as the Queen Mother said, it would be difficult for the court to stabilize without an important minister suppressing it.
Su Jianli stood up, took Liu Li's hand and walked out. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Xie Huanran, who was still lying on the ground: "Hou Shen and Lu Shisan are in the next hall.
Here...you, University Scholar, can give the two adults a ride for me."
Xie Huanran's body trembled again, and he lowered his head deeply: "I... obey the order."
Why didn't Xie Huanran understand why Empress Dowager Su Jianli asked her to "send" Hou Shen and Lu Shisan off? As long as his hands were stained with blood, stained with the blood of his colleagues, Xie Huanran would take this ship
He can't go down anymore. This is Su Jianli forcing him to submit. Su Jianli's meaning couldn't be simpler. I'll give you everything you want, but you also have to give me a letter of surrender to make me trust you.
The heads of Shen and Lu Shisan were the bloody surrender certificates.
It wasn't until Su Jianli pulled the little emperor Liu Li's back out of sight that Xie Huanran raised his head. He stood up and let out a long sigh. He looked at the dozen or so people in the inner court that Su Jianli had left at the door of the hall.
Wei, then walked out of the main hall. Walking to the door of the side hall next door, Xie Huanran arranged his clothes, and then said to the inner court guard who was following him: "Wait here, I will let you in, and you can go in again.
"
After saying that, Xie Huanran walked into the place where Hou Shen and Lu Shisan were detained. (To be continued)
