All Hail Cousin Brother

The only thing that Yin Lixing has done in this life is to ask to marry Wen Ru, the daughter of Wen Zhicheng, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, a prince and a grandmaster, and the second assistant of the cabinet. Qin.

For this woman, he was pampered since childhood, willing to go to Youzhou, and never set foot in the capital again.

Before that, he had never doubted this emperor's younger brother.

With the good news of Youzhou coming from year to year, King You's reputation is so strong that he can dominate the world. In his heart, he suspects that his image of the emperor's younger brother, who used to eat, drink, and play, was deliberately pretending.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will germinate in the bottom of my heart and grow stronger day by day.

In the end, the Di people invaded the northern border aggressively, and King You, who had always been invincible in battle, was defeated steadily, losing several cities in a row.

It's the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The courtiers below were clamoring more and more intensely.

The emperor felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, irritability, and a burst of anger went straight to his forehead.

Everything on the dragon's case was swept to the ground by him.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me..." The courtiers who filled the hall, "Plopped" to the ground.

The hall was silent.

After losing a temper, the emperor was also a little weak and weak, his eyes were black, and his throat kept panting heavily, but there was more air in and less air out.

At this moment, a **** hurriedly entered the hall, his legs softened, and he knelt on the ground with a "thump": "Your Majesty Qi, His Royal Highness King Ping died of serious injuries due to running all the way, and fainted outside the palace gate. ."

The emperor took a deep breath: "King Xuanping has an audience, and the imperial doctor will attend."

The hall was quiet enough to hear the needle falling.

The big **** who was accompanying the king brought a golden plate over, and placed a blue-gold pill the size of a longan on it.

The emperor took Danwan, raised his head and stuffed it into his mouth.

The **** hurriedly handed over another cup of tea.

The emperor took the teacup, took the tea, and swallowed the pill.

As soon as Dan Wan entered his stomach, the emperor's blue-grey complexion returned to ruddy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sides of his cheeks were abnormally flushed.

The emperor propped his elbows and closed his forehead to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, the two eunuchs carried King Ping who was lying on a stretcher tremblingly into the hall, with the prince Liang Jingye accompanying him.

Liang Jingye "thumped" and knelt to the ground: "Liang Jingye, boy, pays respects to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The emperor who closed his eyes and pretended to sleep finally opened his eyes. He saw his son, Liang Jingye, who was white, and then looked at Liang Wang, Liang Xiao, who was lying on a stretcher, unconscious.

It is not a lie to think that the injury was serious.

The emperor glanced at him and knelt beside the imperial doctor who didn't dare to breathe: "How is King Ping's health?"

The imperial doctor naturally knew what the sage wanted to hear, so he quickly said: "Your Majesty, His Highness King Ping is seriously injured. I was tired, so that the new wounds did not heal, and the old and old wounds were brought in, new wounds and old wounds, and several wounds were developed at the same time.

The emperor lowered his eyes, glanced at the half-dead King Ping, and ordered: "Rescue people."

The imperial doctor quickly took a porcelain bottle from the medicine box, poured a brown-black pill from it, and fed it to King Ping. of people.

After a while, Ping Wang Youyou woke up.

After discovering that he was above the Golden Temple, regardless of the injury, he struggled to get up from the stretcher and knelt down to the ground: "Old minister, Liang Xiao, King of Pingnan, Zhenliangzhou, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The emperor held his forehead in his hand: "King Ping, you entered the capital privately without an edict, and your crime should be punished by the nine clans. Do you know the crime?"

Liang Xiao threw himself to the ground, lying on his stomach and didn't move, but his voice trembled: "The old minister is convicted, but the old minister does not regret it. Last year, the Nanman invaded the southern border. The money and food of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the prestige of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the disgrace of the emperor, the old minister knew he was guilty, and asked the decree several times, asking your Majesty to forgive the crime, but he didn't think about it. After half a year, His Majesty has never committed a crime. The old minister is in Liangzhou, panicking. All day long, I go to Beijing privately, and I have no other intentions, I just want to meet the Holy One in person to prove the loyalty of the old minister."

A speech, every word is sincere, every sentence is sincere.

Hearing what he said, the courtiers thought to each other in unison. More than three years ago, it was also because of the defeat, and finally he was declared to be in Beijing. He was punished by conspiracy. .

Today, the situation in Liangzhou is very similar to that of Youzhou.

The court has never committed crimes, and anyone would be frightened and fearful, worried that the court is holding back some big moves.

King Liang was terrified, lest he would end up with King You, so he had to gamble, dragged his severely injured body, and took the prince to the capital privately to show his loyalty to the emperor.

Someone shook his head and sighed.

For more than three years, King You's conspiracy has finally broken the courage of the vassal kings. Everyone is sincere and fearful, walking on thin ice, for fear of provoking the wrath of the Holy Spirit.

What the courtiers can think of, how can the emperor not think of it, he turned to look at Xia Yansheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet: "Is there such a thing?"

Xia Yansheng cupped his hands and replied: "From last year to today, King Ping has sent a total of six letters, asking the sage to forgive his crimes, but the end of the year is approaching, the imperial examination is imminent, and the court recruits talents, which is the foundation of Daxing society. , this matter will be discussed later.”

Last year, in addition to the defeat of King Ping, the Marquis of Changxing also won.

As the saying goes, there are punishments and rewards. If you dealt with King Ping and won the battle, should the Marquis of Changxing be rewarded together?

He kept suppressing this, and he also planned to wait until after the imperial examinations, and after Yu Zongshen took over the post of Minister of the Ministry of Household, he would report to the emperor and reward the meritorious persons.

In this way, it can also check and balance the Weining people and Hou lineage.

The emperor nodded, agreeing with his statement.

Liang Xiao said in a trembling voice: "The old minister is loyal to the saint, and the sun and the moon can learn from it. The old minister came to Beijing this time to..."

There was the sound of a wheel turning in the house.

Yu Youyao looked at the door subconsciously, and saw her cousin turning the wheelchair into the house.

Zhou Linghuai glanced at Xia Tao lightly, and said softly, "Go down!"

Master Zhou Biao's look made Xia Tao suffocate her breath and her head was empty. When she came to the reaction, she was already outside the door and closed the door thoughtfully.

"Cousin, do you know what the purpose of King Ping's coming to Beijing is?" After Yu Youyao was shocked, he calmed down.

Shocked but not surprised.
