Liu Liang angrily went to the palace to see Liu Xiu. After seeing Liu Xiu, Liu Liang couldn't wait to ask: "Why did your Majesty seal up the Li Mansion, and why did you arrest more than a hundred people in the Li Mansion?"
Liu Xiu looked at his angry uncle and felt helpless. It seemed that in his uncle's mind, Li Zichun was more important than himself. He asked, "Uncle, do you still remember that I sent a group of dancing girls to the palace before?"
?”
Liu Liang was stunned, thought about it for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes, it does happen!"
Liu Xiu said bluntly: "Those dancers are all Gongsun Shu's meticulous work."
"What?" Liu Liang was shocked when he heard this, his face changed, and he said in horror: "They... they are all Gongsun Shu's masterpieces? How... how is this possible?"
"The evidence is conclusive, and they themselves confessed!" Liu Xiu said slowly.
Liu Liang was stunned for a moment, his body suddenly shook, and he said urgently: "Your Majesty, this matter... I don't know about this matter..."
Liu Xiu said: "Of course my uncle doesn't know the inside story. Otherwise, I believe he would never send them to the palace."
Hearing what Liu Xiu said, Liu Liang breathed a long sigh of relief. The people sent into the palace were all spies of Gongsun Shu. If this matter was investigated in detail, it would be a big deal. Even if he was a prince, he couldn't afford to go around.
Liu Xiu continued: "According to the investigation, those dancers were all bought by Li Zichun, and then transferred to his uncle's hands and sent to the palace. My uncle didn't know the details of those dancers. Doesn't Li Zichun also know?
Based on this, shouldn’t I arrest him?”
Liu Liang broke out in a cold sweat. He knew Li Zichun relatively well. Li Zichun was a businessman, and his nature was to be greedy for money. But Liu Liang would not believe it in any case that he had an affair with Gongsun Shu for the sake of money.
He frowned and said: "Your Majesty, with Zichun's character, he would never have an affair with Gongsun Shu. He...he doesn't have such courage."
Liu Xiu almost became angry and asked calmly: "So, what do you think of uncle's opinion?"
Liu Liang thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, you should let Zichun and Zichun's family go first!"
When Liu Xiu heard this, he was really angry. He wanted to yell at Liu Liang: I am your nephew! I am your blood relative!
He said quietly: "Li Zichun transferred the detailed works of more than a dozen Gongsun Shu to his uncle and sent them to the palace. Now, my uncle wants me to let him go like this?"
Liu Liang scratched his head and scratched his head anxiously, and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, I can guarantee with my life that Zichun will never have an affair with Gongsun Shu! He must have been deceived in this matter!"
Liu Xiu took two deep breaths and managed to suppress the anger that rushed to his forehead. He looked at Liu Liang and said nothing for a long time. Liu Liang's defense of Li Zichun greatly disappointed Liu Xiu.
Under the guise of the prince, he sent dozens of craftsmen into the palace and committed such a treasonous act. Instead of standing on his side, his uncle continued to stand on Li Zichun's side, even risking his life to guarantee Liu Xiu's loyalty to Liu Xiu.
Can you not be disappointed with this?
Liu Liang also felt the sullenness in Liu Xiu's heart, and he said: "Ah Xiu, it is impossible for Zichun to have an affair with Gongsun Shu, and you can't... you can't unjustly accuse him!"
Liu Xiu closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time. Then he slowly raised his eyes and said, "Uncle, I can let Li Zichun and the rest of his family go."
Hearing this, Liu Liang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted, saying: "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Xiu waved his hand and said: "After I release them, Li Zichun and his family will go back to their hometown in Huai County and are not allowed to set foot in Luoyang again."
"Your Majesty..." Liu Liang's expression suddenly changed.
Liu Xiu continued: "Also, uncle should also go back to his fiefdom."
Liu Liang looked at Liu Xiu in disbelief. Axiu asked him to return to his fiefdom? This... was he trying to drive him out of the capital?
Liu Xiu slowly stood up and walked towards the inner room with heavy steps. At the same time, he said: "Uncle, my nephew is too tired and wants to take a rest."
When he was young, his father died of illness, and Liu Xiu was fostered in his uncle's house. After the rebellion, his eldest brother, second brother, and second sister suffered disasters one after another. Along the way, Liu Xiu had fewer and fewer relatives around him. It was precisely this way that Liu Xiu
Xiu has always valued family ties.
And what hurt him the most was family affection. Liu Liang's every possible way of protecting Li Zichun, even indiscriminately, really hurt Liu Xiu's heart.
He felt that in his uncle's mind, his nephew was completely dispensable, and his life and death had nothing to do with him. Instead, his uncle cared more about the safety of Li Zichun, an outsider.
"Axiu——" Liu Liang looked at Liu Xiu eagerly.
Liu Xiu said meaningfully: "Uncle, there are too many disturbances and right and wrong in the capital. Returning to the fiefdom can actually lead a long life and enjoy the happiness of human relations."
With Liu Liang's ability, he could barely be a county magistrate, but he was still far from being a prince.
Being a prince is not that easy. He has to deal with all kinds of people and all kinds of things. If you are not careful, you may be taken advantage of and become a tool in the hands of others.
Liu Xiu really felt that his uncle was not suitable to stay in Luoyang, otherwise, something big would happen sooner or later.
After saying this, Liu Xiu walked into the inner room of the main hall. Liu Liang stood blankly in the main hall for a long time, until Zhang Kun stepped forward to remind him that His Majesty had rested and King Zhao should go back. Only then did Liu Liang return.
Come to God.
He seemed to have aged several years all of a sudden. He raised his hand and opened his mouth towards the inner room, but in the end he did not say anything. The old man let out a long sigh, turned around and walked out.
This time, the matter has come to an end.
Liu Xiu had no evidence that Li Zichun colluded with Gongsun Shu, but so many coincidences made it difficult for Li Zichun to clear away his suspicions.
Under Liu Liang's plea, Liu Xiu finally released Li Zichun and his family, but the entire Li family was expelled from Luoyang and moved back to Huai County.
The Li family is a large family in Huai County, and they can still live a life of fine clothing and food even if they return to Huai County. Liu Liang returned to his fief, Zhao Guojun, under Liu Xiu's instruction.
Her uncle wanted to return to his fiefdom, and it was under the orders of His Majesty. When Liu Boji heard the news, she immediately came to the palace and asked to see Liu Xiu.
After the two brothers and sisters met, Liu Boji asked with concern: "Why does the emperor suddenly want his uncle to return to his fief?"
Liu Xiu did not hide anything from Liu Boji and told her the whole story. Finally, he said with a wry smile: "My uncle is not guarded against others. He gets to know people with all his heart and soul. This time, my uncle was killed by Li Zichun."
Fortunately, nothing serious happened, but next time, who can guarantee that there won't be a second Li Zichun or a third Li Zichun in Luoyang?"
After Liu Boji listened to Liu Xiu's story, she was stunned for a long time before she realized what was happening. She said with deep feeling: "The city of Luoyang now looks more and more like a big quagmire."
Being in it, you are surrounded by dangers, and if you make one wrong move, you may be doomed.
Liu Xiu looked at the young girl who was so impressed and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. Liu Boji raised her head, looked at Liu Xiu and said: "Third brother, this time Boji came to the palace, in addition to asking about my uncle, there is another matter to discuss."
Third brother said."
"What's the matter?" Liu Xiu asked curiously.
"Third brother, I'm leaving Beijing too."
"Ah?" Liu Xiu looked at Liu Boji in surprise.
Liu Boji smiled at him and said: "Ci Yuan is working in Shunyang, and I will go to Shunyang to accompany him."
After a pause, she added: "Third brother also knows that Ji Yuan's health has not been very good. If no one takes care of his diet and daily life, his condition will relapse."
Liu Xiu looked at Liu Boji, her eyes darkened, and murmured: "My little sister is leaving too..."
Now the only people who can be called Liu Xiu's closest relatives are his uncle Liu Liang, his eldest sister Liu Huang, and his younger sister Liu Boji.
The uncle is about to leave the capital and prepare to go to the fiefdom. The eldest sister has already left the capital and returned to the fiefdom to practice cultivation. Now even the younger sister has to leave the capital and go to Shunyang to accompany Jiyuan.
At this moment, Liu Xiu truly felt what it meant to be alone.
Seeing Liu Xiu's lonely look, Liu Boji felt sad. She stood up, walked to Liu Xiu's side, knelt down, held Liu Xiu's hand, and said: "Third brother, I just went to Nanyang, not..."
Not coming back."
Shunyang is in the west of Nanyang, not far from Wudang Mountain. Li Tong farmed in Shunyang. Firstly, it could relieve the pressure of the court's lack of food and grass. Secondly, it could also prevent Gongsun Shu's army from crossing Wudang Mountain and invading Nanyang.
Liu Xiu held Liu Boji's little hand, patted the back of her hand gently, and said: "There are many children of the Liu family in Nanyang. If you encounter difficulties, my little sister can ask the clan for help. The clan members are all over Nanyang, and they respond to every call, even if
No matter how big the difficulty is, they can help my little sister solve it."
Liu Boji's eyes turned red, and she choked and said, "Third brother, I know."
"Shunyang is remote and the conditions are difficult. My little sister has to take care of herself."
"Well..." Liu Boji lowered her head, her eyes dripping down.
Liu Xiu raised her hand, wiped the tears on her face, and said with a smile: "After a while, when the situation stabilizes, I will transfer dimensions and return to Beijing."
Liu Boji wiped her cheek with her sleeve, smiled at Liu Xiu, and said, "I will bring back more Nanyang specialties then."
Liu Liang and Liu Boji left Beijing one after another, which made Liu Xiu feel gloomy for several days.
In the past few days, he did not go to the concubine's palace and stayed in Qingliang Hall. That night, after Liu Xiu had finished his government affairs, he was sitting in the hall drinking wine. Zhang Kun came in from outside, bowed and said: "Your Majesty
, the flower beauty asks to see you."
"Yeah!" Liu Xiu responded casually.
Zhang Kun blinked, bowed to Liu Xiu again, bowed and exited the hall.
It is not easy to be a chamberlain beside the emperor. For example, now, Zhang Kun has to tell from Liu Xiu'en's voice whether it is 'I understand' or 'I have invited a beautiful woman to enter the palace'.
After Zhang Kun exited the main hall, he quickly walked up to Hua Feiyan and whispered: "Hua Meiren, your majesty invites you!"
Hua Feiyan thanked him and was about to walk in when Zhang Kun said hurriedly: "Your Majesty has been in a bad mood these past few days. Hua Feiyan will try his best to pick up some pleasant things to say!"
Jian Hua Fei Yan looked at him in confusion, Zhang Kun explained: "King Zhao and Princess Ningping left the capital one after another. His Majesty felt empty in his heart. He stayed in Qingliang Hall for several days in a row and drank a lot of wine every night."
Hua Feiyan showed a look of sudden realization, nodded to Zhang Kun, and said, "Thank you, Zhang Ye, for telling me."
"Hua Mei is so polite. Isn't this your slave?" Zhang Kun quickly bowed and saluted.
Hua Feiyan walked into the hall and looked up. Sure enough, Liu Xiuwai was sitting on the mat, holding a wine pot in one hand and a wine glass in the other, pouring himself a drink!
"Your Majesty!" Hua Feiyan walked up to Liu Xiu and saluted.
Liu Xiu was dazzled by Feiyan, smiled slightly, and said, "Feiyan came just in time, come and have a few drinks with me!"
Hua Feiyan looked helpless. She didn't come to Liu Xiu for a drink, but to ask Liu Xiu how to deal with Luo You.
Now that the case has been clarified, Luo You cannot remain detained in Yeting Prison. Liu Xiu needs to make up his mind whether to kill him or release him.
