Chapter 23
"There is a lesson from ancient times. The destruction of the six kingdoms is not a disadvantage for soldiers. If the war is not good, the disadvantage lies in bribing Qin. Compromise is like cutting a city. Even if you sleep overnight, the desire to tyranny Qin is endless. The land of the princes is limited. It will only make the invasion more urgent, not to mention that the Que family is a greedy villain. Que Zhun's power is to order the princes with a child. The coffins of the family members in the family were also burned by him, and there was no peace after death. Such inhumane, unrighteous, immoral, and so on, conspiring with this is tantamount to picking chestnuts from the fire."

Wen Yu couldn't help but pause when the words reached a deep point, "What's more, Uncle... If Mrs. Que really treats you sincerely, will Mrs. Zhang Tai do anything wrong?"

Liu Yao was startled instantly, "What did you say! Mrs. Zhang, she, she..."

"Mrs. Zhang Tai was not in the palace long ago, but fled out of the city with the palace people during the Pingyang coup. By chance, she was rescued by my uncle. I wanted to go all the way back to Chang'an and reunite with you..."

Wen Yu said clearly every word.

"Unexpectedly, the Que family set up an ambush halfway. During the chaos, Mrs. Zhang was killed by the Que family..."

Suddenly his heart beat out of rhythm, he did not speak euphemistically, his voice was crisp and clear, like a sword stabbing into Liu Yao's ears all the time.

In an instant, the copper and iron walls were completely destroyed, Liu Yao let out an "ah", his eyes were bloodshot and burning

Wen Yu gave him the token, "This is the commander of the imperial city that I found beside Mrs. Zhang, my nephew dare not lie.

Liu Yao snatched it away, and his heart was burning with anger, "Where are the corpses and the coffin, where are they... where are they!"

The sudden bad news made Liu Yao unbelievable.

It wasn't until the attendants carried a slightly crude coffin to the main hall that he woke up like a dream, stumbled and rolled down the steps.

After touching the heavy cover, he lost his voice.

"What is wrong with my mother that she has to suffer this disaster!"

He thought of the time of the Pingyang coup, when he learned that Mrs. Zhang was being held hostage by the Que family, he was so anxious and angry that he sat up startled in the middle of the night and stayed in a daze until dawn.

Down now, down now...

This is all Que's fault!
Hu Yanyan resentfully said: "The Que family is a villain with a double face and a snake heart!"

"Yes!" Zhu Ji resented very much, "A woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken has ended up like this. Does King Zhongshan really think that relying on this person is a long-term solution?"

According to a few stories, it was like a mountain urging the ground to sink, like a frost knife and carbon fire, forcing Liu Yao to the ground.He clenched his fist tightly, his face was like a man-eating beast, "Que Zhun, he actually made such a murderous move, I'm going to kill him...I'm going to kill him!"

Wen Yu said in a low voice: "I also ask my uncle to express my condolences."

This sound stopped Liu Yao from calling him.

Wen Yu watched him coming towards him, and when he was within arm's length, he bowed mightily.

Wen Yu hurriedly held his hand and lowered his head even lower, "Uncle, this is impossible! You are an elder, you have broken me."

Liu Yao said: "Since I went to Chang'an to guard, I have never seen my mother again, and I have not been able to fulfill my filial piety for a moment. I am very grateful to you for bringing Mrs. Zhang Tai's body properly." He was almost speechless. , "At least there is still a mourning, let me do my filial piety."

"Mrs. Tai passed away, mourning and pain are inevitable, but..."

Wen Yu gritted his teeth tightly and continued.

"It's just that this is not the time to feel dejected." Wen Yu said: "Because Que Zhun slaughtered our relatives and destroyed our will, we Liu's descendants must strive for self-improvement, and make their enemies hurt soon!"

The rumbling thunder sounded from the depths of the long-distance sky, like a solid sharp knife piercing the belly of the earth.

"You're right! We must not sit still, we must make them pay for the blood they shouldn't be stained with!"

Almost at the same time, Zheng Mao's blood gushed out from his throat and sprayed on the carpet depicting golden silk auspicious clouds.

This accident happened so suddenly that no one reacted for a while. Wen Yu was stunned there, and could hardly believe his eyes. He only felt a blank hole in his heart, and only the ears and sides of the palace were out of control. cry.

"Uncle Zheng!"

Wen Yu exclaimed in astonishment, rushed to him in haste, and supported him.

At this time, Zheng Mao was already extremely weak, his abdomen was in severe pain, as if his stomach had been corroded and melted, until the last moment, he didn't know what was going on, he just widened his eyes in grief and anger, as if his eyes were about to fall out.

"liquor…"

Hu Yanyan stretched out his hand and pulled out the silver hairpin from the hairpin of the palace attendant and put it into the wine glass, it was corroded to black in an instant.

"There is poison in the wine!"

The heavy rain falls from the window, like a spring gushing water column, cold and desolate, covering a thin layer of cold frost in the spring.

Wen Yu said: "Quick...call the doctor!"

Hu Yanyan put his hand on Zheng Mao's neck, "No need, Marquis of Wuyang...he is dead."

Seeing everything, Liu Yao was also in a trance, "It's so good, how can there be poison in the wine?" The voice instantly overwhelmed the lightning and thunder outside the hall, "Who gave the wine! Anyone who comes into contact with the meal will bring it to the hall. To see who dares to commit murder in front of Gu!"

It was found out later that Li Guang brought a group of people involved into the palace for inspection.

"My lord, the servants who took over are all here. Just now they roughly explained, and asked the doctor to test that the poison in Wuyang Hou's poison was arsenic, and it was tested on the side of the wine glass and the wine in it. The poisonous stains match perfectly. However, they were not found in all the jugs, and most of them can be ruled out. According to Ting Weisi's deduction, only the wine servants can bear the blame."

Liu Yao glanced lightly, "Who is serving wine to Marquis Wuyang?"

The palace maid was so frightened that her face turned ashen, and she knelt down in panic, "It's... a servant girl."

She immediately looked at the empty wine glass on Zheng Mao's table. She was terrified and denied, "But I have no reason to kill Marquis Wuyang. Why did I kill Marquis Wuyang if I have no grievances with Marquis Wuyang? Isla... The servant really doesn't know!"

Hu Yanyan interrupted her, "Because you don't want to kill Marquis Wuyang at all, you want to kill Prince Duanhui!"

"Slaves dare not! Slaves are wronged!"

"That's right, my lord!" Hu Yanyan ignored the astonishment and fear of the maid in front of him, and immediately resolutely said, "The thief Que just wants to use your hands to kill the prince. He has always regarded the prince as a thorn in his side, and he would like to kill him quickly. If it weren't for this cup The poisonous wine was sent to the Marquis of Wuyang by mistake. If the prince drank it, he would have thought that if he testified that the prince killed the prince, what crimes would the prince bear? At that time, why would there be any other excuses, just to kill the same clan? , such an inhumane act, Que Zhun will be able to arrest you and put you in prison, so that he can hold on to the incarnation of justice and secure the throne!"

He snorted: "Zhuzi, this method is really insidious!"

What he said was extremely reasonable, and even Wen Yu, who didn't know why, couldn't find any flaws.

For a moment, the form completely changed its direction like the wind wandering in the palace alley.

Hu Yanyan still presses on, "Marquis Wuyang died suddenly, it's just that they missed this time, if it wasn't for the Que family, who would have done such a dirty trick!"

The form is provocative, who would take this charge, no, even in the bottom of everyone's heart, the crime has long been pushed to the Que family, and even Liu Yao's originally plain face also showed a deformed sternness. It was a well-received decision.

Suddenly a jade cup shattered on the floor, "Que wants to be a good person innocently, dreaming! Even if we die together, I want him to be buried with my mother!" The two hands under the big sleeves couldn't help but clenched tightly, "Immediately take this The maidservant Ling Chi will be executed, I want him to be careful, I, Liu Yao, am definitely not a coward who can't hold back!"

Li Guang immediately commanded the guards to forcefully drag the palace maid out, and the heart-piercing screams of despair could not help but touch the heartstrings.

Wen Yu's heart palpitated for a moment, as if a cloud of fog was covering the sky, but in the end he had to focus on the overall situation.

He knelt down slowly, "My nephew has another unfeeling request."

Liu Yao stepped forward and reached out to support him, "Good boy, get up and talk."

Wen Yu refused, but became more respectful, "Liu Wenyu implores uncle to announce to the world immediately, ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and lead me and other descendants of the Liu family to attack the Que family!" It is a pity that there is only the name of the prince, but not the wisdom of the prince. Today, my nephew is willing to hand over the position of the prince to the wise monarch, and may my lord inherit the blessings of the ancestors in the sky and protect my Liu family's royal family for a long time!"

Si Xuhu Yanyan and Zhu Ji hurriedly chased after him, "I would like to invite the King of Zhongshan to ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor, and we will discuss the Que family together!"

At that moment, overjoyed was Liu Yao's only expression. He raised his hand, and the dust had already settled.

 Our gentle little prince finally doesn't have to wander!
