Chapter 470

In the evening of this day, the streets and alleys are still talking about Song Lu’s move, a bigger thing, but the sudden exposure Liang Wang Fu, was surrounded by the imperial guards!

As the same mother and brother of Emperor Duanhua, King Liang was the most prosperous among the princes of the dynasty. Now out of the matter on the accident, up and down the people basically do not know the inside story, for a time and is surprised and terrified. If it is not at this time the sun has dusk, into the palace to see may not be too late words, many think they have the honor of the family, have to press into the palace to inquire about the news.

But although they were not able to enter the palace, they also heard that Gu Shao was called to Xuanming Palace early this morning, and has not come out until now!

The rumors, already raging, grew more and more dusty!

But this will be the palace’s people temporarily did not have the heart to pay attention to these.

Emperor Duanhua, who was perched high on the imperial throne, played with the white jade lion paperweight in his hand, his gaze complex as he looked down at his brotherinlaw underneath.

King Liang has been removed before coming to the golden crown and jade belt, this although still wearing apricot yellow python robe, but the hair and clothes are not neat, in the end revealed a mess.

After he was pushed under the courtyard, he didn’t struggle and knelt down extremely obediently.

Neither brother spoke for the next few moments.

It was only after a while that Emperor Duanhua put down the paperweight and waved his hand.

The serving chamberlains and the armor guards who escorted the King of Liang retreated in a line.

“Can you tell why?” Emperor Duanhua waited for the door of the hall to close, looked at the quietly lit palace lamp on his desk, and asked somewhat hoarsely.

“I have nothing to say.” When King Liang heard this, he seemed to tremble for a moment, but he quickly stopped it and raised his head to look flatly at Edward Dan, who was not far away, and said, “Your Majesty, despite the fact that you are descending on me is!”

He used to call Emperor Duanhua “Emperor’s brother” and called himself “my younger brother”.

Now but changed into an unusual courtier as the same name, although the end of the chemical emperor early in Gu Shao in front of the first step to change the mouth, at this moment to hear, but also feel heartbroken, “You and I have the same mother, this should be as close as brothers and sisters, I do not want you to believe in all the outsiders are also unwilling to trust me … you are really too much to call me to count on! ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Duanhua hated the white jade lion and smashed it to the bottom of the steps!

He didn’t mean to hurt King Liang, so the white jade lion just smashed on the bricks of the temple beside King Liang the two brothers looked at the sound at the same time, but they saw that the paperweight, which was originally worth a lot of money, was already in tatters by such a fall.

As if they had an otherwise good brotherly bond.

“I do want to believe Your Majesty very much.” King Liang looked at the pile of broken jade for a moment and suddenly burst out laughing, “But I have waited day after day, year after year, but Your Majesty has remained indifferent! I understand your majesty, after all, your majesty was raised by the late emperor, if your majesty wants to keep his promise to the late emperor, I have nothing to say! But Your Majesty should also know that since I landed on the ground, until I married my consort and opened my own house, I have not left my mother for a single day so, as magnanimous as Your Majesty can be, I really can’t do it!”

He said in a cold voice, “After all, the one who promised the late Emperor to spare Dai Guo and the Empress Dowager to spare the two kings of Su Xiang was His Majesty, not me! Isn’t it?!”

Emperor Duanhua said with some weariness, “At this point, you still want to avoid the light? You still want to bring up the queen mother to speak?”

“I heard that Gu Shao entered the palace this morning, and after that I was brought in.” Hearing this, King Liang had nothing to be frightened of, only sneering, “Your Majesty trusts Gu Shao’s side of the story but not my minister, I have nothing to say!”

These words are equivalent to the Duanhua Emperor just said “you and I have the same mother, should be close as brothers, do not want you trust outsiders” this, the original return.

Emperor Duanhua laughed back in anger: ”You want me to believe you? That’s good! Tell me now, what have you done and what grievances do you have that you want me to believe you?!”

“What I have to say, Song Lu actually said it all that day, but His Majesty refused to believe it, what can I do?!” King Liang said coldly, “To this day, the Empress is still living in the Weiyang Palace has Your Majesty ever thought about the feelings of your and my birth mother in the nine springs?!”

“Are you saying that you plotted to usurp the throne, all for the sake of redressing mother’s grievances?!” Emperor Duanhua also laughed coldly, “So all of Song Lu’s evidence, all of that rhetoric, all of it came from you? Asshole thing if there really is such a thing, why don’t you come directly to report to me? Going around in such a big circle, making a big mess of things, even the foreign family, the Cui family, is also involved! You call this being mindful of Mother? Mother would be happy to see you dragging the Cui family into the water?”

King Liang heatedly said, ”Who doesn’t know that His Majesty favors the Empress? Not to mention the fact that His Majesty now has just one male heir at his knee, which is His Highness the Crown Prince! If I expose the Empress directly to His Majesty, even if His Majesty believes it, for the sake of the Crown Prince, will you do anything to the Empress? And if you won’t do anything to the Empress, then what will happen to me, is there any need to say?!”

He violently raised his head and looked directly at Emperor Duanhua on the Dan Di, “I am not afraid of death! If I were afraid of death, I wouldn’t have known that the Empress came from a great family and was in love with His Majesty, but I would still be plotting to avenge my mother’s death!”

“I’m only afraid that before I die, I can’t avenge my mother’s death, and after I go down to the Yellow Springs, I’ll in turn tire my mother of grieving for me!!!”

Duanhua Emperor was angry straight shivering, slapping the case angrily scolded, “You are talking about a set and a set then I ask you: you kill concubine Shao when the mother is still alive, is it also for you to avenge the mother?!”

“The concubine Shao instigated me to plot against her, so it was only natural for me to kill her!” King Liang was not alarmed by what he heard, and said in a deep voice, “The reason why I didn’t publicize this was because at the time, both Kings of Su Xiang were plotting for the throne, and I was afraid of causing trouble for His Majesty, so I disguised it as a drowning death!”

Emperor Duanhua smiled coldly and said, ”You are good at sophistry! Then I ask you, this matter you do not publicize it is just, why even I did not say? Who doesn’t know what’s going on in Yi Wangfu? That Shao had the guts to instigate you to betray me, behind the scenes there can not be no mastermind! You knew that the two kings of Su Xiang were plotting for the position of the Crown Prince at that time, but you secretly hid such an important news from me, weren’t you afraid that I would be trapped by someone’s scheme and lose my reputation?”

The Emperor’s gaze was morose, “Or did you originally wish for me to lose my reputation?!”

“Your Majesty complains that I hid this matter from you, do you know what concubine Shao said to me?” King Liang asked back without thinking, “Hasn’t Your Majesty ever wondered how I came to know that there was an inside story to cousin Cui’s death? This matter, at that time, was thoroughly investigated by the Queen Mother herself! Even the Queen Mother told you that Cui’s death was not unjust, so how did I know that Cui’s death was actually full of injustice?”

Seeing Duanhua Emperor a frown, Liang Wang coldly laughed, “concubine Shao, persuade the minister, in order to show sincerity, but also to show the ability of the person behind her, special will tell the minister this matter I heard the news after six gods, killed concubine Shao to silence, followed to find the mother, a report of the matter! ”

“And the decision not to tell His Majesty was made by the Queen Mother, and repeated instructions were given to the minister not to reveal the cracks so that His Majesty would notice!”

“As for why Mother did this, Your Majesty should know in your heart what the reason is!”

King Liang turned his head and looked in the direction of the Weiyang Palace, between his eyebrows flashed a clear resentment, “The Empress is the first daughter of Fengzhou Wei, Fengzhou Wei’s ancestors do not allow the Qingzhou Su, the reason why these years has been silent, is only afraid of the former emperor and His Majesty’s jinxes there is not to fight that is to fight, the Wei family can be said to have used this hand in the past years to the perfection! The Wei family over the years can be said to have used this hand perfect! How much effort did the Wei family contribute to the seizure of the crown by the two kings of Su Xiang? And why didn’t they waver in the middle? But relying on the Empress, now is not the same as the identity of the Dragon Minister to enjoy the glory and wealth? And even now, has His Majesty ever been suspicious of the Wei family?”

“I’m getting ahead of myself, in short, what Mother meant at that time was that the Fengzhou Wei Clan should not be underestimated. At that time, the two kings of Su Xiang were scheming against each other, and the situation facing His Majesty was already very serious. If there is a gap with the Empress because of Cui’s matter, the loss of the Wei family’s support is a small matter, after all, they had planned to sit back and enjoy their success, and had not contributed to His Majesty’s efforts; the opportunity to be seized by the two Kings of Suxiang to instigate dissension, rumor mongering and slander, and to shake the hearts of others is a big matter in any case, Cui’s cousin has already died, so we might as well pretend that nothing has happened, and then, when the dust settles, we can ask for help for Cui’s sister. After the dust settles, we can then seek justice for Cousin Cui!”

“Mother knows that the Empress is deeply sophisticated, and that His Majesty has always been unguarded against those around him, so she instructed me to keep you in the dark!”

“As for the minister, that period of time also seldom meet with you, for fear that the minister is young and shallow, by you to see the cracks!”

Duanhua emperor grimly heard here, coldly smiled and said, “It is difficult for you to come up with such a speech to cope with, measuring the mother mother is no longer there, with how you make up, I can not go to the mother to ask for proof, is it also not? Just I still say: since you know the concubine Shao behind someone, kill her is not worried about provoking the people behind her?!”

“Or, did you already know the person behind Shao and had already concluded an alliance with him?!”

The King of Liang did not immediately utter a retort this time, pursing his thin lips tightly, as if he had run out of words.

The emperor waited for a while, and then waited for a while, seeing that he never spoke in defense, much less bent his head to admit his guilt, he couldn’t bear it anymore and slapped the table he quickly stood up, bypassed the imperial case, took a few steps down to Dan Edward, walked to the King of Liang, paused, and then lifted his leg and kicked him towards the side and fell down, ”Undisputed thing! I originally thought, although your act of treason is already evidence, but in the end is my only compatriot brother!”

“Not to mention you’re young and have a bad line!”

“As long as you are willing to change your ways it’s not like I can’t forgive you!”

“But you’re good!”

“He won’t come clean even when he’s out of his depth!”

“Sizing up the fact that I used to favor you all the time, emboldened isn’t it?!”

Emperor Duanhua was sad and angry, it had only been a few decades since Da Rui set the throne, and Emperor Xianjia was an extremely capable and heroic lord, so today, the position of their Lu Clan royal family was still very solid.

But back then, after Emperor Xianjia ascended the throne, he killed all of his halfbrothers outside of King Yi Jing even King Yi Jing, did not survive the Xianjia dynasty.

And Emperor Xianjia had only six sons, counting his surviving children.

Emperor Duanhua had already decided that no matter what, he had to get the two kings of Su Xiang killed before he could rest assured!

In that case, the only three brothers he could possibly put to use were the King of Liang, the King of Shu, and the King of Qing.

He himself is now only a son, two brothers are not yet adult, into the year also do not know the wisdom and stupidity … of the king of Liang s hopes can be imagined!

As a result, Liang Wang not only betrayed him, look at this brother so far said confessed but a “I am the good son of the mother, you are not”, obviously with their own centrifugal degree, has not been the two brothers behind closed doors to hug and cry can not be undone!

Duanhua Emperor gas and hatred, but also feel a deep sadness: is it possible that, before eradicating the Su Xiang two kings, he even had to send down his only halfbrother first?

Not to mention that after doing so, in the future to the ground, how to explain to the mother Cui Empress Dowager; single said that after finishing the King of Liang, Su Xiang two kings will think how to do?

A King of Liang was good to deal with, and the only reason this younger brother was able to fight for the throne was because he was deeply trusted by Emperor Duanhua before and was lurking in the shadows.

Now that he had been exposed by Gu Shao it was only a matter of a wink for Emperor Duanhua to get him killed.

However, the two kings of Su Xiang were not, especially King Su, who was the first nephew of the Su family in Qingzhou.

The Su family has been in charge of the military since the founding of the country until now, and their power in the military can be said to be a tree with deep roots.

How many days has it been since Lord Ji died?

With the experience of the Su family’s prominence down through so many dynasties, to say that they could no longer influence the military now that would be a joke!

Emperor Duanhua’s intimidating power is not comparable to that of Emperor Xianjia.

When Emperor Xianjia was around, the Su family didn’t dare to rebel even if there was only one breath left.

But facing the Duanhua Emperor the Su Family, which was already destined to have a dim future, did not dare to fight to the death either?

Suddenly feeling not quite decadent, Emperor Duanhua stopped punching King Liang, let out a long sigh, and turned around to return to his seat.

He just mounted the last level of the Dan Dian, suddenly heard behind him came the low voice of the King of Liang, “I was once young and ignorant, many things are not well thought out, but also to the age of the reaction. Of course, His Majesty must now think that I am reluctantly sophistry, may not have to come down to beat me again?”

He said here seemingly selfdeprecating smile, followed by the corner of the mouth but continue to hook up, revealing a smile full of malice, “only, I now only say one thing: Your Majesty really think that Jane Ping Yu father and son, is the true culprit of smallpox thing?!”

Emperor Duanhua was stunned.
