Chen Liehu didn't know why his youngest daughter couldn't stop crying. His heart broke when he looked at his daughter who was leaning over and crying.
If all this is true, how much pain would it be for the fifteen-year-old daughter to endure. Alas, now he basically believes that it is true.
Chen Liehu pulled Chen Danzhu up and invited a doctor to examine her poisoning problem. The next day, Li Liang's body was also received. Chang Lin was escorted back and confessed after being tortured with Chang Shan several times.
Li Liang was indeed persuaded by the court lobbyists to let Chen Danyan steal the military talisman in order to attack the capital of Wu by surprise.
They finally cried and said, "Sir, there is nothing we can do. It is an imperial edict from the emperor, saying that King Wu sent an assassin to kill the emperor. King Zhou and King Qi have already identified it. It was King Wu who did it. This is treason, and we can only obey orders."
"
After hearing this, Chen Liehu slapped the corner of the table and said, "The emperor's imperial edict is not trustworthy at all!"
This emperor disobeyed Emperor Gaozu and listened to the evil words of Zhou Qing, an evil official, with the intention of regaining the fiefdoms of the princes and kings. He resorted to various means, first to incite discord among the princes and kings, and then to instigate fathers, sons, and brothers among the princes and kings, and committed murder and murder.
When dealing with the two countries Yan and Lu, the emperor cried out and issued an imperial edict, saying that Yan and Lu had rebelled and sent assassins to kill him—but now he is treating Wu like this again.
Chen Danzhu remained silent on the sidelines. Changshan Changlin did not tell the truth. Li Liang was not just persuaded by the court, and they did not reveal Li Liang's princess wife at all.
She didn't say it clearly that Li Liang was dead, and that the mountains and forests were in his hands and his heart couldn't beat him. The most important thing now was to solve the life-and-death matter.
"Perhaps my brother-in-law saw that the imperial army was so powerful and unstoppable that he lost the confidence to fight." She said softly, "I went out and found that there were so many refugees outside, and it was like a completely different world from the capital. The soldiers and horses in our military camp were in chaos.
Internal fighting continues, compared with the imperial army on the other side——"
Chen Liehu slammed the table again and shouted: "Shut up!"
Chen Danzhu lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Not to mention whether what you said may inflate other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige, even if what you said is true." Chen Liehu looked solemn and determined, "Our soldiers in Wu will never be afraid and refuse to fight. There is only one person left."
, He will not retreat even if he dies in battle. The emperor is unjust and slanders the King of Wu for being disobedient. He is the one who disobeys the great ancestor. Why should we, the Wu State, be afraid of an unjust war?"
Of course he knew why Li Liang was persuaded. It was not the emperor's edict, but the emperor's power that was tempting. Following the emperor would have a brighter future than following the princes.
Not to mention Li Liang, there are also many officials in the country who are interested, so the court is in chaos. The king has not yet given orders to attack the imperial army. Fighting opportunities are missed again and again——
He frowned and looked at Chen Danzhu.
"A'Zhu, you are my daughter, Chen Liehu, how could you say such a thing?"
Chen Danzhu whispered: "My daughter is not afraid. She just saw the facts with her own eyes and felt that the king was too arrogant and underestimated the enemy."
Chen Liehu was silent for a moment.
"The imperial court sent troops suddenly, but the king just didn't react for a moment." He said, patting the broken table, "Now military reports from all walks of life have gathered. The king knows the current situation, the capital has implemented a curfew, and the royal court is also discussing arrangements.
Disaster victims."
He glanced at Chen Danzhu.
"You don't have to worry, we have a bad start, but as long as everyone is united, even if the imperial court is powerful, it will not be able to trample our country Wu at will."
When talking about the war, other people would say that there is no need to worry because there are natural dangers along the Yangtze River and there is nothing to be afraid of. But his father did not say that. Apparently he knew very well that the natural dangers could not stop the soldiers and horses at all. Chen Danzhu felt sore and painful in his heart.
Even so, my father never thought of blaming King Wu for not listening to his advice. He would only think that he was derelict in his duty.
Even if he was unjustly killed by the King of Wu, he was willing to do so; even if his clan was exterminated by the King of Wu, he would only think that it was his fault.
That was obviously the fault of King Wu himself. It was King Wu who didn't listen and didn't believe his father. It was King Wu who was afraid of fighting. And those sycophants just wanted to take the opportunity to drive his father out of the royal court——
Li Liang deceived them, the King of Wu deceived them, and the Chen family suffered enemies from both sides. They were sinners of the Wu State and the court. They had no way to go to heaven and no way to go down to earth. They were sinners alive and sinners dead.
Chen Danzhu looked at her father's head full of white hair, thinking about her sister lying in bed not knowing how to face the bad news, her dead brother, and her relatives who would be exterminated by the King of Wu in the future - she felt so hateful and unwilling to accept it!
"Master." The housekeeper hurriedly ran in, "The king has come to issue an order! Many guards have come and asked the master to hand over the military talisman! They also want to send the master to prison!"
Chen Danzhu was shocked: "What's going on?" Could it be that this matter has been advanced? She did not lead an army back to the capital.
Chen Liehu stood up and limped out with his residual leg: "I'm going to take a look."
Chen Danzhu hurriedly followed without support. Chen Liehu would rather be laughed at and crippled than let anyone help him to walk.
The guards were already surrounding the gate. There was another eunuch holding an edict with a cold face. When he saw Chen Liehu limping towards him, he immediately shouted in a sharp voice: "Chen Liehu, do you know your guilt?"
Chen Liehu came over and slowly knelt down: "Old minister, I don't know."
The eunuch sneered: "Master Taifu, this is a national crisis. The king trusts you and entrusts you with the heavy defense of the country. But you actually let me go to the military camp privately with military talismans to cause trouble! If it weren't for the urgent report from the army, you would be
Don’t you want to hide it from the king! You have the king in your eyes!”
Chen Danzhu gritted his teeth. He was accused so quickly. There were countless people in the army who wanted his father to be dismissed and the Chen family to fall.
Chen Liehu said: "There is something behind this matter, please let me know -"
The eunuch interrupted him: "Should we frame Jianjun Zhang to kill your son? So let your daughter take the military talisman to the military camp to make a fuss. Master Taifu, Jianjun Zhang has been driven back by you. Now that Li Liang is dead, you
Who are you going to frame again? You don’t have to complain, Lord Wen has already sent supervisors to the military camp to investigate, so Lord Tutor should just go to the prison and wait for the result."
The word "framed" made Chen Liehu's kneeling figure tremble slightly. He raised his head and looked at the eunuch with red eyes: "My son and son-in-law, Chen Liehu, died in the military camp. In the king's mouth, the only word framed is framed.
?”
The crippled man kneeling on the ground was old and still as powerful as a tiger. The eunuch was startled and took a step back. Fortunately, the guards behind him allowed him to calm down.
He shouted in a trembling voice: "Chen Liehu, are you blaming the king!"
Chen Liehu shook his head: "I don't dare, I want to see the king."
He said that he was about to get up, but his legs were inconvenient and he looked a little embarrassed. A trace of disgust flashed in the eunuch's eyes - this old immortal was going to disturb the king's good mood again.
It was all because of his alarmist talk that the king could not calm down, and he had no intention of watching the singing and dancing in Wangxian Tower.
He said sharply: "This matter has been handed over to the Wenshe people. The king is missing——"
Chen Danzhu rushed out from behind, helped Chen Liehu up, and interrupted the eunuch sharply: "Wen Sheren is just a housekeeper. My father is a Taifu. He can meet the emperor's important ministers on behalf of the king, and he has to deal with them."
It can only be handled by the king and the people of Wenshe. Whose country is this Wu?"
The eunuch was startled, and immediately became angry: "How brave, in front of Wang Ling, you little kid——"
Chen Liehu stood up straight and held Chen Danzhu down, and said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law, I have a secret report of important military information. Please pass it on. When I see the king and explain the matter clearly, I will take the blame."
Without waiting for the eunuch to object, he picked up the long knife lying aside and struck it, causing the ground to shake.
"Until I meet the king, I cannot obey my orders!"
Following his sword strike, guards surged around the Chen family, surrounding the eunuchs and guards.
The eunuch turned pale, huddled among the guards and shouted tremblingly: "Chen Liehu, do you want to rebel?"
Chen Liehu didn't care about such accusations. Anyone in Wu could rebel, but he, Chen Liehu, would never do it. Even if he shouted this in front of the King of Wu, the King of Wu wouldn't care.
He leaned over and saluted: "Please tell me, father-in-law, that Chen Liehu is waiting outside the palace gate to be summoned."
After he finished speaking, he stepped forward. As he stepped forward, the guards of the Chen family also stepped forward. These guards were all retired from the army and were Chen Liehu's private soldiers. The guards were no match for them. The eunuch hated and feared them.
The key is that Chen Liehu does have a transcendent status. If he kills him, his death will be in vain——
"You, you are brave." shouted the eunuch, and then added, "Just wait."
He turned around and ran out in a hurry. When the guards saw him running away, they hurriedly followed him.
Chen Liehu did not stop, but walked out slowly, telling the butler to prepare his horse.
The housekeeper had already brought the horse, and Chen Danzhu also called to prepare the horse for her, "I will go with my father."
Chen Liehu frowned: "Don't go."
Chen Danzhu said: "Father, it was I who went to the military camp with the military talisman. I should go and make it clear."
Chen Liehu shook his head: "No, I can just tell the king about this."
Chen Danzhu pulled him and refused to let go: "Father, I didn't go to plead guilty. I went to the military camp in person. I also did my brother-in-law's affairs with my own hands. I know everything best. It would be better for me to tell the king."
.”
Chen Liehu hesitated for a moment, then nodded to the housekeeper, who hurriedly asked someone to lead Chen Danzhu's horse. The father and daughter walked out of the house, and many people gathered in front of the door and pointed.
The previous eunuch guards cheered and attracted many people to watch, and then saw the eunuchs running away in panic. The guards from the Chen family came out with such force that everyone was startled and started talking about what had happened.
"Nothing, nothing." The steward led people to disperse the people, "The king summoned the master into the palace."
Chen Liehu sat on the horse with the help of his guards. Chen Danzhu waited for his father to sit firmly before getting on the horse, looking in the direction of Miyagi and tightening his grip on the reins.
How come their loyal family was killed by the King of Wu, while some people slandered and harmed the King of Wu yet lived in prosperity.
This Wenshe man claimed that he was loyal and fanned the flames to stop the military situation and suppress his father. When Li Liang came in with his troops and horses, he was the first to run away. He also deceived the reinforcements who came from outside the capital, saying that the imperial court was invading and that the king would be executed.
, everyone surrender, obviously King Wu was not dead at that time——
The land of Wu died, and the king of Wu died. He did not feel any regret at all, nor did he repay the king with his death. He suddenly became a civil servant and a hero in the Xia Dynasty, receiving high officials, generous salaries and living freely.
She was not afraid of death, but it was not worth it to die because of such a king and such a minister.
She killed Li Liang and robbed him of joining the imperial court. She might as well rob Wu officials of slandering the king of Wu.
