Eastward Flow

Zhong Licheng's questioning choked all Xu Mingyi's plans back into his stomach. He came today to meet Zhong Licheng under the help of Nian Wang.From the information he investigated, Xu Mingyi knew that Zhong Licheng had cultivated a large group of forces.

Nian Wang plotted with him, first gathered the group of Yuanzhou elders under Zhong Licheng's name, and then directly replaced Zhong Licheng's position when planning for the throne.Winners and losers, that's all.

Only now that Zhong Licheng had expressed his ambition so bluntly, it made him temporarily pause.Xu Mingyi frowned, looked at Zhong Licheng and said, "What's the meaning of your son's words?"

Zhong Licheng laughed, and said: "I invite you to come here today because I want to discuss important matters with you. I sincerely join hands with you, so I will get straight to the point."

"August [-]th is a day for major events. To tell you the truth, my time is short, and I am a dying person. But for the sake of my ancestors' foundation, I can only give it my all. I sincerely hope that my lord will help me, I only hope that I can take back my country of Chu. After the matter is completed, it is almost time for me to go back." Zhong Licheng threw out the biggest hidden danger in himself, and said to Xu Mingyi half-truthfully.

"My son, this is..." Xu Mingyi didn't hide his surprise, Zhong Licheng's words really made him puzzled.

Zhong Licheng said frankly: "I was poisoned by Gu poison in my body before, and there was no cure for medicine and stones. I have one more age, and I will return my soul. This time, I will tell you the truth. I just hope that you will treat me sincerely and help me win the throne. Afterwards, when I return home in honor of the Chu Kingdom, I will sit in my lord's place and hand over the land and mountains of my Zhongli home."

"This……"

Zhong Licheng's actions are too unreasonable, since he won't live long, why bother to win this country.But in this world, many people do things according to their own wishes, where do they come from so many reasons.

It is the king of Zhongzhou's wish to sit firmly in Zhongli's family. Since Zhonglicheng has chosen to inherit this, he will hope that he can do it no matter what.

Even if it was about to perish, Chu State would perish in their hands.

Zhonglicheng ignored Xu Mingyi's confusion, and only picked up a box at hand, placed it in front of Xu Mingyi and slowly opened it, and said to Xu Mingyi: "This is the imperial jade seal of my Zhongli royal family. I wrote it for your lord. For the next Zen edict, I just ask you to help me as much as possible!"

He opened the box, and a corundum-based jade seal was lying in the red satin impressively.Xu Mingyi's pupils shrank, and he lost his voice: "Isn't the Chuanguo Yuxi in His Majesty's hands?"

"That's a fake, the one that Emperor Zhao gave to the Empress is a fake." Zhong Licheng said slowly: "I have something to tell your lord, that Emperor Zhao was poisoned by the empress before he died. "

"I have been lurking in Yuanzhou for many years, and I know everything about this matter. Only Emperor Zhao was kept in the dark before he died, and passed the jade seal to the queen." Zhonglicheng continued, "I don't want the jade seal of my Zhongli royal family to fall into the dark." In the hands of such a poisonous woman, and suffering from the betrayal of the Li family at that time, there was no help to re-establish the state of Chu, so I had to order someone to exchange the jade seal in the queen's hand."

"If your lord doesn't believe me, I'll verify it for you." Zhong Licheng said, putting his hand on the jade seal, and in an instant, the bright light lit up, making people unable to open their eyes.

Xu Mingyi half-closed his eyes, looked at Zhong Licheng's shiny jade seal, and heard him say: "When Gaozu made this jade seal, he ordered the chief minister at that time to perform nine levels of witchcraft, and my descendants of Zhongli's family will know it when they touch it. Master Xu must have heard of this allusion."

When Xu Mingyi saw this bright light, he believed it halfway.Of course, no matter whether the Chuan Guo Yuxi is real or not, it can't stop Xu Mingyi's ambition.He didn't care about Zhonglicheng's Zen position, because in his plan, the person who replaced Xuan Jingchen was him, not Zhonglicheng.

Now that Zhong Licheng has shown his sincerity, although such sincerity surprised Xu Mingyi, it can provide him with a lot of convenience in his subsequent actions.

So Xu Mingyi cupped his hands and said to Zhong Licheng: "Since I have come to look for your son, I must be ready to do my best for him. I am an old minister of the Chu Kingdom and a subject of the King of Zhongzhou. For the sake of the Chu Kingdom, I must do my best." All out."

Only then did Zhong Licheng nod his head, put away the box, and began to discuss the follow-up matters with Xu Mingyi.

The short-lived Zhong Licheng used the position of emperor to lure Xu Mingyi to help him seize the emperor, and Xu Mingyi, who also had ulterior motives, was also using Zhong Licheng to become the supreme emperor.

They all want to be emperor, for whatever reason.But he didn't know that the desire to match them, regarded them as poor little fish in the fishing net.

On this day, all parts of Kyushu were playing the scene of the general killing the king, as if deliberately, they pushed the group of people in front of the officials, clearly showing their ulterior motives.

The officials immediately prevented such a smearing theatrical performance, but they never thought that it was just as the group wanted.

Many people are waiting for the arrival of autumn, and Nian Wang is the same.He is waiting for the autumn when he finally harvests, and he is also waiting for the autumn when the leaves fall.

All the people in Xinghualou who starred in this play were captured by Yang Yuting's golden-robed guards and taken to Yuanzhou Mansion. Because of the last sentence that the female general said, Le Zhengying, who has always been keen, thought of more .

Xuan Jingchen's order came out before he married Zhong Lisuo, and no one knew about it except the people who supervised Tiansi.Later, Emperor Assassin became seriously ill, and rumors arose in the court, and some people mentioned Xuan Jingchen's orders.

The King of Destiny, these four words, caused Xuan Jingchen to become the target of public criticism and was forced to hand over the military talisman.If it weren't for the crown prince's protection and trust in her, I'm afraid that Xuan Jingchen would have been ordered to die by the emperor's imperial edict.

Thanks to the fact that Emperor Assassin was seriously ill, and there were too many people with ulterior motives who were punished against the king before, they were assassinated and died. The crown prince finally ascended the throne.Otherwise, today, there would be no such empress who ruled the Qing Kingdom.

Although Emperor Zhao was not very good at political affairs, the trust he gave to others was what many courtiers looked forward to.Asking herself, Le Zhengying still has a good impression of a king like Emperor Zhao.It was only because the monarch was so proud that he left so early.

Thinking of this, Le Zhengying also felt sorry.But more, I was taken away by the information revealed behind the play.

Back then, the people who knew the order of the Mandate of Heaven were none other than the group of nobles from Yuanzhou City.Nowadays, there are only a handful of nobles in Yuanzhou who are capable of doing something.

During the time when it was widely rumored that Emperor Zhao was good in Kyushu, such a play was released to slander Emperor Qing for murdering Emperor Zhao. The evil intentions of his intentions are chilling.Le Zhengying thought about it for a while, and planned to ask His Majesty in private tomorrow before explaining the matter to her.But she never thought that when she returned home, she would meet Zhong Lisuo and Su He's son, and see the same scene again.

After Zhong Lisuo explained to Le Zhengying what happened today, Le Zhengying frowned and said to her, "I saw a similar scene in Xinghualou in the play you saw today."

"Slandering Your Majesty and harming Emperor Zhao, this is really too base. I will report to Your Majesty tomorrow, and I will definitely investigate this matter." Le Zhengying made a promise, and then Zhong Lisuo nodded in agreement.

On this day, because of these incidents on the road, when Zhong Lisuo was about to take Su He back to the palace, the sky had already darkened.

The Marquis of Zhenbei thought that night would fall, and wanted to keep Zhong Lisuo down, but because of Su He's special status, he had to send someone to send the two of them back to the palace.

After Zhong Lisuo left, Zhenbeihou sighed, and said to Le Zhengying: "Asu has grown up a lot in the past year since he woke up. He is smart and intelligent, and as a father, I want to ask her to play the role of the son. What do you think?"

Le Zhengying was also moved by Zhong Lisuo's sensitivity today. When she listened to Zhong Lisuo's statement, she thought that this child might also be able to adapt to the officialdom.Now hearing that her father wanted to hand over the Hou Mansion to her, she nodded and said, "Father has thought very well, and he has to make some plans for Ah Su."

No matter entering the officialdom or doing other things, the status of the son of the Hou family is always more noble than the status of the son of the Hou family.

Zhong Lisuo didn't think too much about it, but in the future, when Jian Tiansi wanted to choose someone to marry with the queen, she, a not too old or not too young son of the Hou family, happened to be among those recommended by the Minister of Rites.Of course, these are things for later.

When I got off the carriage from the palace gate, it was completely dark.In the dark night, Zhong Lisuo led Su He to the palace.Su He and Zhong Lisuo, who were curious about everything, each carried a lamp and walked through the long corridor.Su He stepped on the bluestone slab, looked at the flickering lights, and said to Zhong Lisuo, "A Su, are you angry today?"

"Huh?" Zhong Lisuo didn't know why, so he looked down at Su He.

"Today, when you asked me if I could let Lan Dan arrest people, you were angry, right?" Su He raised his head, looked at Zhong Lisuo and said, "Why are you angry, because the general in that play killed the emperor?"

Zhong Lisuo didn't deny it, turned a corner, and said with Su He: "It's wrong for them to act like this."

How could the queen harm her, she is such a loyal person, if she harmed her for the sake of the throne, she would have won the throne as early as the assassin's death, so why bother.

Zhong Lisuo felt very angry when people so smeared the matter between her and the queen.Angry, but no one can tell.

Su He nodded, and said, "Is that general, Emperor Qing?"

"Yes." Zhong Lisuo nodded and said, "Yes, it's her."

"What about the emperor? Is it her wife? I heard that Emperor Qing was the queen of Emperor Zhao of Chu, so is that emperor Emperor Zhao?" Su He asked again, and continued: "They played that Emperor Qing killed Emperor Zhao? "

Zhong Lisuo's footsteps faltered, she stopped, and squatted in front of Su He: "That's not true, they're acting out of control. Your Majesty is a wise, powerful and upright person, how could he harm Emperor Zhao?"

"Anyone may harm Emperor Zhao, but she won't, because Emperor Zhao is her monarch and her wife." Zhong Lisuo looked at Su He and said word by word.

There were footsteps coming from behind, Su He shook his hand, and the lantern he was carrying rolled to the ground.The fire was bright, and Su He's eyes fell on the front, showing a little helplessness.Zhong Lisuo frowned, turned his head to look behind him, and met the eyes of the visitor.

Those eyes shone coldly in the dark night.The majestic king came step by step from the darkness, walked into Zhong Lisuo in the firelight, and asked coldly, "What did you say, harming Emperor Zhao?"

That face was what Zhong Lisuo thought about day and night.But Zhong lisuo had never seen the cold light in his eyes.
