Chapter 144 I Raised You First

Shen Liuzhen opened his eyes suddenly, looking at the strange room, his heart was beating "thud-thump".He rolled his eyes and saw that there was no one in the room, so he sat up slowly.

Zong Ai got drunk and was helped to rest.

He pretended to be drunk and was carried to the guest room to rest. After thinking about it, he felt that it would be inappropriate for him to wake up and leave now.

So I lay on the bed and thought wildly, but who knew that I actually fell asleep with my stomach full of thoughts.

I can't remember what I dreamed of in my dream, I just feel very nervous and bloody.

He looked at the yellow sky outside, it was almost dusk, so he got up, put on his boots, opened the door and went out.I just wanted to find someone to ask about the situation, so I said goodbye and went home.

The little servant girl saw him wake up, and ran away without a trace.

After a while, someone came to lead him, saying that the grand master had woken up and wanted to see him.

Shen Liuzhen was stunned for a moment, and followed after without saying anything.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zong Ai was still on his bed, his face was pale, he was covering his head, and his face was serious.He hurried up to apologize and said:

"Grand Master, the grass-roots are rude. They poured it down after just a little bit, and said they want to drink with the Grand Master... Hehehe, it is really absurd. Please forgive me, my lord."

Zong Ai raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were very vigilant, and there was a bit of sting in them.Shen Liuzhen knew what was the reason, but felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if a knife had been placed on his neck.

But he could only pretend to be stupid, pursing his lips, showing two dimples, smiling obediently and cutely at him, and then asked in surprise:

"Is the Grand Master really angry?... But I really don't know how to drink, this is beyond my control..."

Zong Ai's gloomy expression relaxed a little, and asked, "How much have you heard of what I told you today?"

Shen Liuzhen looked very cautious and nervous, thought carefully and said: "It seems...it seems...that the Xianbei people are barbarians...Master Grand Master, Caomin thinks that these words should be said less in the future, we Han people are not honored here. , you have to be careful everywhere."

After hearing this, Zong Ai seemed a little unconvinced. He lifted the quilt and said, "It doesn't matter. In fact, it doesn't matter what you hear. Let them know that I am not afraid. After so many years, I have followed the late emperor, and among them I have accumulated a lot of friendship, who doesn't know who, let alone now..."

His eyes flickered, he stopped talking, looked sideways at Shen Liuzhen and said, "As long as you don't go out and make a big show..."

Shen Liuzhen pointed to his nose, widened his eyes and said, "Me? Man is now a big tree above my head..."

As Shen Liuzhen spoke, he looked at Zong Ai with some dissatisfaction on his face and said, "Master Taishi doesn't think Cao Min is so stupid, does he?... I'm also a student of the Xie family... You're too contemptuous of me .”

After all, he put his hands into his sleeves, rolled his eyes while crossing his arms.

Zong Ai looked at him like this, and immediately burst out laughing with a suffocated mouth. The whole person relaxed, walked over and patted Shen Liuzhen on the shoulder, and said:
"Look at your little face, it's alright, alright, who can treat you as a fool? Our family also knows that you are a reliable and caring person, so we talk to you and drink... It's just that you can't drink, tsk tsk... ..."

Shen Liuzhen looked at him and forcibly maintained a displeased look.

"Okay, okay...it's getting late, and I won't keep you for dinner, I have to sleep for a while, and I have to enter the palace tomorrow to see what's going on in the palace..." Zong Ai patted With the back of his head, he said while walking to the edge of the bed.

"Oh, that's right... that grassroots man has gone. Master Grand Master has a rest earlier." Shen Liuzhen bowed quickly and retreated politely.

After leaving the Grand Master's Mansion, Shen Liuzhen returned home in silence.

Ulay was still waiting for him when he got home.

Shen Liuzhen entered the door with a gloomy expression on his face, looked at Wu Lei with a thousand words in his eyes and said nothing.Ulay thought what was wrong with him.asked:
"Could it be that you have any worse news for me?"

Only then did Shen Liuzhen move, walked up to him and sat down, said seriously: "No, it's good news. It's just that this good news is not very happy."

Ulay didn't have any expectations on his expression, he just replied: "Good news is fine, let's listen to it, I don't mind how young it is."

"It has been confirmed that His Majesty was indeed killed by Zong Ai, because His Highness's letter was destroyed by him. He was afraid that His Majesty would find out, so he did it."

When Ulay heard that, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, he gritted his teeth, and his clenched fists kept trembling.After a while, he relaxed, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said:
"What kind of good news is this? Didn't you already guess it?! No matter what the details are, he should be hacked to pieces!"

"Yes... the important thing is that His Majesty was murdered by him. As long as this is revealed, the person who is now on the throne, your uncle, will be out of position, and we have enough reasons to pull him down!"

There was a flash of light in Ulay's glasses, and then he calmed down and said:
"I've thought about it for the past few days, so what if it's exposed?... Who cares if he is in the right place? No matter who owns the throne, it doesn't hinder the interests of the Xianbei nobles... No, it's my little one. It's better for them to sit with uncle."

Shen Liuzhen asked: "In your opinion, what kind of situation will make your Xianbei nobles feel that their interests are threatened?"

"It goes without saying that the power of this country is naturally out of their control." Ulay answered very naturally.

Shen Liuzhen was silent, looking at the table, looking like he was at the bottom of the boat.

Ulay looked at him and asked, "Do you have a solution?"

"Zong Ai has conflicts with the Xianbei nobles. He used to rely on His Majesty, and His Majesty has always favored him and listened to his slander. But now you, a little uncle, are obviously more partial to the Xianbei nobles and clan elders, which makes him very unhappy. This One point, we can take advantage of..."

"what do you mean?"

Shen Liuzhen raised his eyes and said firmly: "I want to help Zongai seize power. Take this power from the hands of the elders of the Xianbei clan."

Ulei was very shocked, and looked at Shen Liuzhen and said angrily: "Are you crazy? Let Zongai take power? Shen Liuzhen, this world belongs to us Xianbei people, and it was my imperial grandfather who brought it down! I would rather this family property be ashes!"

Shen Liuzhen's expression suddenly turned cowardly, and he said with a bitter face: "Don't, that's not what I mean. Besides, why do you want to promote a good family business? If you raise it, you have to fall apart and fight everywhere. Now it's fine. , at least in the Great Wei, everyone has land, although the tax is a bit heavy, but at least the Hu and Han people can survive..."

Wu Lei slapped the table, made a "bang" sound, and shouted, "Stop interrupting me! If you don't make it clear today, I'll fire you first!!"
