The little queen is squeamish, and the tyrant of prey coaxes her every night

"Then what do we do now?" Zhao Hua asked.

Liu Shu thought for a while and said: "Looking at their reactions, this person is most likely to be Li Mi. No matter whether it is or not, the news must be spread so that everyone knows that the emperor has been assassinated and killed. It spread to the ears of those ministers, and sent a letter to the palace, asking the queen mother not to admit this matter for the time being. She had to make a full gesture, and wait until the situation was about to get out of control before admitting that the emperor had an accident, and recommended Li Rong to the throne. "

"However, we have done so much just to push Li Rong to the top. What should we do if Li Rong turns his back on him after ascending to the throne?" Mr. Zhao Hua still felt that this matter was inappropriate.

After all, Li Rong was an adult, and a shrewd adult. With both his parents dead at home, he was able to rely on his relationship with the Fu family to walk before the emperor, and he simply earned a way out for himself.

Such a person would not be a fool.

If Li Rong just used their Liu family now, and then turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, after all, the emperor occupies the rightful name, the affairs of the Liu family will be more troublesome.

Liu Shu snorted coldly, not taking Li Rong seriously.

"He has no foundation at all. Even if he has this ambition, he must have this ability."

Besides, Li Rong is just a transition, how could he give Li Rong the opportunity to develop his own power in the position of emperor?

Thinking of this, Liu Shu said to Chao Hua again: "Don't worry about these things for now, spread this matter first, take your cards well, and don't let anyone find out about the Liu family."

"Yes."

After returning to Liu's house, Zhao Hua immediately went out to run some errands.

But in one night, rumors of the emperor's assassination swept across the streets and alleys of the entire capital.

As long as you go out, you can hear roadside teahouses, restaurants and inns talking about these things, and even more and more outrageous, saying that the empress dowager is hiding the news of the emperor's death because the Liu family wants to replace it.

Liu Shu didn't expect that rumors would spread in such a direction, but rumors are not controllable. Although such rumors are unexpected, it is considered a good thing now.

When Chaohua came back to report, Liu Shu asked, "Do all the ministers in the court know?"

"I have been able to spread rumors around the mansions of the ministers. I think there is no one among the officials who is ignorant of these things, but the Ministry of Criminal Affairs has not acted yet. However, the Empress Dowager sent someone to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs urgently. Officials also went with them, but they haven't come out yet."

Liu Shu nodded: "I see, let's not worry about this matter for the time being, is there any news from King Jiu'an?"

"not yet."

"We must hurry up on this matter. Even if the emperor is dead, if King Jiu'an is still alive, many people will criticize Li Rong when he ascends the throne."

"My subordinate understands."

After Zhaohua left, Liu Wan brought Qin Baby over suddenly. She poked her head outside the study, Liu Shuche lowered her face and scolded: "Liu Wan! Come in!"

Liu Wan immediately took the food box from Qinwa's hand, asked Qinwa to wait outside, then entered the study with a smile on her face, put the food box on the table, and saw Liu Shu coming from the side of the desk from the corner of her eye, Liu Wan took out the snacks from the food box, and said flatteringly: "Brother, don't be angry, I won't run around outside again in the future, what I said last time was all angry words, if you talk to me again I was angry, so I wrote a letter to my mother and burned it."

"..."

Liu Shu glanced at the delicate snacks on the table, and then at Liu Wan.

"You will also take one to gag me. You can really remember not to run around, how did you bump into the corpse outside the city?"

"Who knew they would kill people on the side of the road." Liu Wan muttered softly, and then asked curiously: "Brother, has this matter been found out? What's going on? I just heard that the servant who went out to buy Said, there are rumors outside that the emperor was assassinated to death, this is too coincidental, could it be..."

"To shut up!"

Before Liu Wan finished speaking, Liu Shu scolded her with a cold face.

"You just stay at home during this period of time, and I will let people watch you. If you take half a step out of the house, I will deal with Qinwa!"

"Big brother!"

Liu Shu didn't want to say more, so he called someone to come in and take Liu Wan out, and specially ordered: "Watch her carefully."

Liu Wan was taken away before she had time to speak, and returned to Hanzhang Courtyard. Qin Wa was sure that the two people had guarded in the outer yard before closing the door and turning to Liu Wan's side.

Liu Wan sat at the table, propped her chin and thought.

She originally wanted to try Liu Shu's attitude, but she didn't expect Liu Shu's reaction to this matter to be so strong. It seems that he will act soon. I don't know whether this gamble will be won by the emperor or by the Liu family. win.

She was like a gambler putting all her worth on the gambling table, waiting for the final result with fear.

……

Three days later, the ministers asked the queen mother to explain what happened to the emperor.

The rumors spread among the common people finally spread to the court, and the impatient minister asked the Queen Mother to explain aggressively in the court.

The Queen Mother prevaricated for the first time.

the second time……

the third time……

Finally, the queen mother announced in the court hall: "The emperor was assassinated and died, and the inspection by the Ministry of Punishment and the Taiyuan Hospital supervised by the Dali Temple has been completed."

"Empress Dowager, the emperor was assassinated and died. How can such a big matter be hidden? Wouldn't it make the subjects panic?"

The queen mother glanced at the ministers below: "The Ai family didn't want to be like this, but the emperor died without any heirs, and the emperor's mother and compatriot, King Jiu'an, was also not in the capital. It's scary."

"This……"

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

The queen mother continued: "The Ai family suppressed the news of the emperor's death as a last resort. They are secretly inquiring about the news of King Jiu'an, hoping that King Jiu'an can return to Beijing quickly, so that it will be peaceful, but now King Jiu'an is also dead. , everyone thinks, how should we deal with this matter?"

After a moment of silence, a minister stood up and said, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, the country cannot be without a king for a day. At this time, we can't wait for King Jiu'an. If the news of the emperor's death spreads beyond the frontier fortress, I'm afraid there will be cholera in the frontier fortress. I think it should Choose the right person from the clan to inherit the great line, so as to reassure the people of the world."

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers who had been prepared for a long time stood up one after another.They had known the queen mother's plan for a long time, and they were waiting for this moment.

On the contrary, the minister who questioned the emperor's news at the beginning did not expect such a situation, and stood there at a loss for a while.

At this time, a minister said: "I think that General Feng En Li Rong is a royal family member, and he is kind and modest, so he should inherit the great rule."
