Chapter 354: Quarrel
Puyang Xuan was calm and calm, neither humble nor arrogant in front of the emperor.
Liu Shizhong said: "Shang Shuling, why are you looking at the eyes of the King of Chu so strangely, are you questioning the bloodline of the King of Chu?" ”
There is indeed a problem, but no one dares to mention it in front of the emperor.
Although the biological mother of the king of Chu is a criminal minister of the previous dynasty, but the blood of the emperor does flow in the family?
Shang Shuling looks at people with that kind of disgust, is he disgusting the emperor?
Shang Shuling coughed a little unnaturally, retracted his gaze, and continued to look at the emperor, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu himself said that he is willing to go to the frontier and shoulder the responsibility of being the prince." ”
"But Weichen and others also have the responsibility to remind the emperor that the king of Chu is not a suitable candidate." Liu Shizhong said.
Glancing at the old man who had been fighting with him for many years, Shang Shuling let out a cold snort in his nose, the murder case in the Chu Palace's last time made this stinky old man's tail rise to the sky, right?
inexplicably protects the King of Chu, he has to force the King of Chu to a dead end today, and relieve the queen's worries!
"Then a virtuous person like Liu Shizhong, why don't you go to the frontier with the King of Chu and assist the King of Chu?" Shang Shuling spread his hands, as if this matter was a matter of course.
If it weren't for his age, Liu Shizhong would indeed have the enthusiasm to accompany the King of Chu to the frontier, but this old bone is afraid that he will not die directly on the way.
"Shang Shuling, I think you are also extraordinary, can you go with you?" Who wouldn't call someone to go along?
Shang Shuling those bastards, wanting to get rid of dissidents, and he was entrusted by others to protect the safety of the King of Chu, how could he let these old guys get their wish?
It's just that...... He secretly glanced at the emperor, and was a little apprehensive in his heart.
His Majesty the Emperor's mind is difficult to guess, no one knows what he is thinking, it would be nice if Princess Chu was there at this time......
After so many years, he felt that only Princess Chu could guess what the emperor meant.
At the mention of Princess Chu, Liu Shizhong frowned again, it is said that someone should have informed the King of Chu, but why did the King of Chu agree to go to the frontier as soon as he came up? Is it to be put to death and reborn? Let the emperor see that he promised too quickly, and he had a rebellious mind, and he didn't agree with the king of Chu to go?
It has been standing in these two halls for some time, and he doesn't know what the situation is outside, what the eldest princess thinks with the king of Chu and the princess of Chu, so he can only be firm in his thoughts.
Liu Shizhong stroked his beard and looked at Shang Shuling, who was trembling with anger.
Hehe, it doesn't taste good when others drag them into the water, right?
When he pondered about saying something more, so that the emperor could agree to his proposal, His Majesty the Emperor, who had been silent for a while after the king of Chu agreed, suddenly spoke.
"Since the king of Chu has such a pure heart, it will trouble the king of Chu."
This is a rare appearance of the emperor with a pleasant face towards the king of Chu, but everyone understands that this is a father who is pushing his son to a dead end with his own hands.
Pu Yangxuan saluted respectfully again, "The son will definitely live up to his father's expectations, and he will do his best to complete the entrustment." ”
The prince became proud again, and originally thought that he would be ruined by Liu Shizhong, but after wasting a lot of words, he still had to go to Puyangxuan......
He couldn't wait to rub his hands now, thinking about how to abolish Xue Fangyi and make Xue Jinyi the crown princess.
Shang Shuling stopped shaking, and proudly winked at Liu Shizhong.
Liu Shizhong was shocked, "Your Majesty, this person must not be chosen!" ”
"The emperor has decided to come down, we as courtiers just have to do our best, why do you talk so much nonsense about a stubborn old man?" Shang Shuling teased.
Liu Shizhong said bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's really not child's play to negotiate peace!" ”
"Then please trouble Liu Shizhong to choose a suitable official and accompany the King of Chu to the frontier." The emperor said, with no doubt in his tone, "Shangshu Ling and Zhongshu Ling must fully cooperate." ”
The three people who were ordered were stunned.
"No, Your Majesty," Shang Shuling spoke, but looking at the eyes of the other two three high-ranking officials, he closed his mouth again.
He originally wanted to take this errand down, and then pick some waste for the king of Chu, so that the king of Chu would not have a chance to come back alive, who knew that the emperor actually followed Old Man Liu's words and handed over this matter directly to him......
Hehe, let's see how he gets in the way!
The candidate was decided, and the emperor waved his hand, "You have worked hard today, so go back and rest." It should not be too late to discuss peace, King Chu, you should decide which day you should set off. ”
"Yes, my son understands." Pu Yangxuan walked out of the Liangyi Hall with the officials.
The prince grabbed Pu Yangxuan's sleeve and staged a deep brotherhood.
"Alas, there are many wars on the frontier, big brother, you must be more careful when you go! If you need any manpower or something, just tell me, and I will do my best to help my brother. ”
"Thank you, Prince." Compared with the crown prince, Pu Yangxuan's reaction was much colder.
In the eyes of some people, they will feel that the king of Chu is very uninteresting, and the prince is so benevolent and friendly.
The prince patted Pu Yangxuan's shoulder meaningfully, held back his laughter, and left quickly.
Liu Shizhong rubbed his eyebrows, "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the peace negotiation is a matter of urgency, please come to the provincial government office with the lower officials to sit down first, right?" ”
"Okay." Pu Yangxuan's attitude softened a little, "I'm tired of Liu Shizhong." ”
Liu Shizhong smiled bitterly twice, and glanced at Shang Shuling, whose smug eyebrows were dancing, "It's not any trouble, it's all what the lower officials should do." ”
He didn't look at Shang Shuling anymore, the old bastard, called the silent Zhongshu Ling, and the three of them came to the official office of Menxia Province together.
The official office in the imperial city, the prince and princess were also inconvenient to come, so Pu Yangxuan specially asked someone to inform Xue Jinyi, lest she wait too long and think that something had happened to him.
Seeing this, Liu Shizhong proposed: "Let's go out and find a teahouse restaurant, and talk while eating and drinking, so that we can ease the atmosphere, otherwise we will ......."
He smiled bitterly and didn't say the rest of the word.
Otherwise...... It was as if he wanted the king of Chu to die.
But this nine-life thing, you really have to plan carefully.
A few people came out of the imperial city, got into the carriage of the Chu Palace, and went straight to the small wine shop in the east market.
When Xue Jinyi saw Liu Shizhong and Zhongshu Ling, she knew that Ah Xuan's going to the frontier was already a certainty, and the only important thing now was to discuss how to save her life.
Soon, a group of four people got into the wine shop in the alley, it was not yet time to eat, so there was not a single guest in the wine shop, and the shopkeeper was keenly aware of the strange and heavy atmosphere, and took them to the private room on the second floor.
"Let's bring all the signature dishes." Pu Yangxuan commanded.
"Yes." The shopkeeper respectfully retreated.
As soon as the door was closed, Pu Yangxuan relayed the events in the Liangyi Hall to Xue Jinyi.
"Right now, Wei Guogong is also in Liangzhou, send someone to tell him as soon as possible, and he can make complete preparations." Liu Shizhong said that he was still quite confident in Wei Guogong's ability.
Speaking of which, there were rumors in the early years that the position of the lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty should have been Xue Zhao's.
