Xu Lai's acting skills are good. He personally takes care of Liu Ci every day, wipes his body, urinates, feeds, and gives medicine. He never borrows the help of others. In addition to these, Liu Guang also stays with Xu Lai and treats Liu Ci.
His care can be considered meticulous, which is completely in line with the four words of virtuous and virtuous. However, as soon as he returned to his room, Xu Lai couldn't hide his happy expression. No matter what he did, the corners of his mouth would unconsciously raise. It was a sign of happiness in his heart.
proof of.
The current situation in the Hengshan Kingdom is very favorable to Xu Lai and his son Liu Guang. King Liu Ci of Hengshan is seriously ill and cannot afford it. Everyone thinks that the eldest son Liu Shuang is the murderer of his concubine. The most ridiculous Liu Xiao has been locked up for seducing his concubine.
.In order, his son Liu Guang is already the most powerful person in Hengshan Kingdom.
After a busy day, Xu Lai was about to take a good rest. A trusted palace maid quietly came in and whispered a few words in Xu Lai's ear. Xu Lai snorted: "What are they doing here at this time?"
The palace maid shook her head: "I didn't say anything, I'm already waiting at Mingde Hall."
"These two bitches are of no use anymore, let them go!"
"No!" the palace maid agreed, bowed respectfully, turned around and walked out.
"Come back." Xu Lai suddenly said: "Get ready. If you go to meet them, they will definitely help us. I can't do anything like burning down bridges across rivers."
"promise!"
Su Ren has also been tired for a day. The person he wants to deal with is Liu Shuang. Today's Liu Shuang is like a dog-skin plaster. He will cry and make trouble, give gifts and make promises. He lifts Su Ren to the sky and talks about himself.
He was despicable and shameless. Su Ren could not see such a guy the most, but these were people who were taught by princes and nobles. They became shameless one by one and could be said to be invincible. In the end, Su Ren agreed to Liu Shuang to speak for him, and then
Send Liu Shuang away.
After sending Liu Shuang away, Su Ren looked at the piles of gifts in the room and looked through them casually. There were not many good things, but they seemed to take up a lot of space, but in fact they were not very valuable. He picked a few of them and asked Huang Shi to
The three generals distributed all the rest to the clerks at Cuixianglou as a reward for their loyalty.
After everything was carried down, Wei Qing came out from behind the screen and said to Su Ren with a smile: "It seems that the prince is crazy about anxiety. The way to ask Mr. Su for help should be where Xi Ci is. Xi Ci is in Hengshan Kingdom."
I have been with him for the longest time and know King Hengshan best. If Sir is willing to speak for Liu Shuang, King Hengshan will never dare to embarrass Liu Shuang due to his timid temperament."
"Does Mr. Wei think so highly of me? I'm just a mere Doctor Guanglu. Even if I include General Zhonglang and Marquis Guannei, I'm not as big as King Hengshan's finger. How much weight can my words have?"
Wei Qing shook his head: "People of the Ming Dynasty do not speak secretly. Although your official position and title are not high, you are your Majesty's confidant. With this alone, you can make the King of Hengshan surrender."
Su Ren smiled: "You guys, you are thinking about this every day, and you have learned all the ways in the officialdom. Are you interested in following me back to Chang'an? Don't worry, I won't let you be an official. How about being my staff? How about you?
It would be a waste of money to let all your family knowledge and talents go to waste like this."
"Haha, you can be a staff member, but the remuneration must be generous."
"No problem. As long as you ask, sir, there is nothing you can do except the stars in the sky. As long as I can get it, I will not be stingy."
"Mr. Su knows what I want." Wei Qing looked at Su Ren.
Su Ren also looked at Wei Qing: "Wei means guard, protect; Han means well wall, the earthen wall around the well to prevent others from falling into the well. The two words look different, but they are very similar in meaning! Mr. Anonymous is so anonymous
For many years, I have hoped to have a chance to clear the wrongs of your ancestors. Su Ren admires your husband's resilience very much. If you stay in Hengshan Kingdom, you will never have a chance in your life. Only by going to Chang'an can you have a glimmer of hope, right?"
Wei Qing smiled and said: "As Mr. Su said, I have to go?"
"I have to go!"
Wei Qing smiled at Su Ren: "From now on, sir, please call me Han Qing. He is Doctor Guanglu, Zhonglang General Su Ren's staff, and the visitor of Hengshan Kingdom Wei Qing is no more."
Just as he said this, Huang Shisan opened the door and came in. When he saw Han Qing, he was stunned for a moment, then turned to go out. Su Ren waved: "Come here, this is Mr. Han Qing, he will be my staff from now on, remember.
Yet?"
Huang Shisan scratched his head: "Isn't this Wei Qing? Why did you change your name?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Huang Shisan said quickly: "Timely rain is here, I have something important to report."
Han Qing had been admiring the few gifts that Su Ren had specially selected from a pile of gifts, and was indifferent to the conversation between the two of them, as if he had not heard them. Su Ren smiled and said to Han Qing: "Timely Rain is the evil spirit under my command.
The leaders, they have to handle many inconvenient things. I usually contact them, and I will take the initiative to come to the door only for urgent matters. Lao Huang is responsible for contacting them."
Han Qing nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Su Ren said again: "Mr. Han, how about we go and meet together?"
Ah Xun waited in a dilapidated courtyard for a long time. Leopard Head suddenly broke in and nodded at Ah Xun. Ah Xun immediately got up, packed his clothes and walked out the door. As soon as he left the house, the courtyard door was already there.
Opening it, Su Ren walked in with Han Qing and Huang Shisan. There was one more person today. Ah Xun felt strange, but he didn't ask any more questions. He saluted Su Ren and let the few people into the house.
Su Ren sat down on the upper hand, while Han Qing and Huang Shisan stood on either side. Su Ren asked, "What's the important matter?"
Ah Xun said: "The people arranged by His Highness Mingde sent news that Xu Lai, Liu Hong, and Liu Wucai were planning to poison Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, and they wanted to put the blame on Liu Shuang, and use the people of Hengshan and Zhang Guangchang to capture and kill Liu Shuang.
So that Liu Guang can successfully succeed to the throne."
Han Qing immediately asked: "Who will do it?"
Ah Xun glanced at Han Qing and then at Su Ren. Su Ren said: "This is Mr. Han, my staff. Who are they going to let take action?"
Ah Xun had investigated Han Qing and naturally knew who he was. He didn't ask any more questions and said quickly: "Liu Hong! In the name of visiting a doctor, I'm going to give Liu Ci some medicinal materials, two of which are incompatible with each other."
Su Rendao: "This group of people are becoming more and more unscrupulous. Can you hear what the medicinal materials are?"
Ah Xun shook his head: "Liu Hong didn't say anything."
Su Ren could feel that Han Qing was a little anxious. Back then, the entire Han family was executed for treason. Only Han Qing was saved by being taken back to his own home by his wet nurse. Overnight, he changed from the son of the Huaiyin Marquis to the imperial court.
As a prisoner, he could only wander around incognito, wandering around for more than thirty years. If Liu Ci hadn't seen his pity and rewarded him with a mouthful of food, Han Qing might have starved to death on the street, so he went to Hengshan to visit him.
Although Liu Ci and Han Qing had a hatred for destroying their family, they still had the grace to save their lives. Now that he knew that someone was plotting to kill Liu Ci, Han Qing could not just sit idly by.
Su Ren turned his head and forgot about Han Qing and said, "Mr. Han, don't worry. No matter what, the King of Hengshan is still a prince of the Han Dynasty. Murdering him is treason. As a court official, we cannot ignore it."
Han Qing immediately prostrated himself: "Han Qing thanks you, sir!" He knew that the reason why Su Ren intervened was to repay Liu Ci's favor for him. From Su Ren's point of view, this kind of thing would be beneficial to the court. As long as the King of Hengshan dies, Su Ren said
If the truth comes out, Xu Lai, Liu Wucai, and Liu Hong will not be able to escape. Coupled with the two rebellious sons Liu Shuang and Liu Xiao, the final result of Hengshan Kingdom is very likely to withdraw from the country and establish a county.
Su Ren helped Han Qing up: "I forgot to tell Mr. Han, if you don't feel like doing anything in my house, you can kneel down. We are all equal. If you have something to say, just say it. Kneel down and kneel down. I will wait until I return to Chang'an."
You’ll understand.”
The plan to murder Liu Ci was first proposed by Liu Hong. Xu Lai and Liu Wucai were shocked when he said this. Liu Ci was their husband and father no matter what, so killing him with his own hands would be a difficult hurdle in their hearts.
Liu Hong chuckled and said: "Everyone has to die, it's just a matter of time. If Uncle Wang of Hengshan doesn't die, where will brother Liu Guang get the chance? Don't look at Liu Shuang being suspected now and Liu Xiao being imprisoned. If Uncle Wang doesn't die, where will the opportunity come from?"
If these two people are confused for a moment, we will be the unlucky ones! Only when Brother Liu Guang sits on the throne can we feel completely at ease. If there is no succession, anything can change."
"And you!" Liu Hong pointed at Liu Wucai: "Although Uncle Wang doesn't say anything about you, he thinks that you are his greatest shame. If he can't bear it anymore, he will drive you out of the palace. Haha, as long as you can
It’s good to be alive.”
Xu Lai and Liu Wucai looked at each other, neither of them dared to nod first. Liu Hong added: "Besides, I did this and it has nothing to do with you. Even if the matter is exposed, it is my business. You can just treat it as if you don't know."
Yes, I'm doing this all for you, and it won't do me any good. If you do or don't do it, please give me a happy message. If it doesn't work, just pretend I didn't say anything."
The two of them still didn't speak. Liu Hong sighed: "If you don't speak, I'll take it as acquiescence and send someone to prepare tomorrow. How about it?"
Xu Lai thought for a while: "Can you guarantee that nothing will go wrong in this matter?"
Liu Hong smiled and said: "Auntie, don't worry, my nephew is absolutely sure."
Xu Lai hesitated for a while and asked Liu Wucai tentatively: "Wucai, what do you think?"
Liu Wucai's face turned pale. He was his father, his biological father. Looking at Xu Lai and then at Liu Hong, Liu Wucai closed his eyes in pain: "I obey my mother in everything!"
Liu Hong nodded: "Okay, this matter is settled!" Looking at the silent Liu Guang next to him, Liu Hong bowed deeply: "Congratulations to the King of Hengshan on his succession!"
Liu Guang glared at Liu Hong and remained silent.
Back at Cuixiang Tower, Su Ren and Han Qing entered the house together and told Huang Shisan and Man Niu that no one should come near them. The two discussed all night long, and it was not until dawn the next day that Han Qing came out. All night
Not seen, Han Qing changed his usual silence and walked with the sound of wind. He hurried out of the yard and quickly disappeared into the morning mist.
Su Ren yawned loudly, stretched out, and asked Man Niu to prepare food. He had not slept all day and night, and his eyes were heavily dark circles. He washed his face with cold water, and asked Huang Shisan to prepare the carriage. He was going
