Work overtime

A faint panic flashed through King Liuyang's heart, and he said angrily: "That's enough! Now is not the time for internal strife."

The settlement of accounts will be done later. This matter must be investigated clearly and clearly.

While he was talking, a confidant came to report that the military advisor had disappeared, leaving behind a letter and three tips.

The eldest son felt a dull pain in his heart and was unable to speak for a moment, as if everything he said was feeble.

Because he understands that under such suspicion, he has only one way to survive: killing his father and brother like in the dream. Otherwise, he will be killed by his father sooner or later.

He looked up at his father, feeling breathless, with tears in his eyes, and choked with sobs and said, "Father, you must believe in me."

At this time, in the eyes of King Liuyang, the eldest son's plump, pockmarked face was indeed abominable.

King Liuyang winked at his two cronies, "Go and guard outside."

He silently took out the letter paper from the envelope, only a thin page.

"Thank you for the kindness of the prince. From now on, we will be separated and we will not owe each other. You can open the red bag now. Open the purple bag before the regent invites the prince to the city. Open the gold bag when you are desperate. Remember not to steal it in advance. Watch, otherwise it will be counterattacked.”

King Liuyang picked up the red brocade bag from the hands of his cronies and took out a small note from it, "Lead the army to Zijingguan to fight against the Tatars immediately, so that the two sons can be saved."

King Liuyang held the note in his hand, thinking about the key points and weighing the pros and cons of doing so.

"Father, what is written in the military advisor's bag?" the second son asked curiously.

King Liuyang raised his eyelids and stared at his eldest son for a while, then stared at his second son for a while, remaining silent without speaking.

After this dream, the conflict between the eldest son and the second son became obvious.

Before that, in order to encourage his second son to make progress, he did hint to his second son many times that his brother was in poor health, and as long as he was willing to make contributions, he might pass on the title to him.

And from a relationship point of view, he prefers his second son, who not only looks more like him, but also has a more witty, bold and bloody temperament.

If no measures are taken, it will definitely be a life-or-death situation in the future.

The strategy of the military counselor is to make both of them have great military exploits, so that they can be crowned kings and knights based on their military exploits, without having to inherit their own titles. In this way, the situation that there must be death or injury between the three people was broken.

Just like a boiled teapot, the water vapor inside is steaming. As long as you open the tea lid, it will spurt out, but it is safe.

King Liuyang stared into the eyes of his eldest son, with complicated emotions, and gave him the note in his hand first.

The eldest son was stunned and took it over flattered.

"Father!" the second son shouted anxiously.

I thought to myself, my father is still partial, and everything should be given to my eldest brother first.

"You can see it." King Liuyang took the note back from the respectful eldest son and gave it to his second son.

After reading it, the second son took the note and asked doubtfully: "Father, what does this mean? Why do you want to go to Zijingguan to join in the fun?"

King Liuyang clasped his hands behind his back and said quietly: "Your Majesty, please tell me."

The prince was very confused at this time. If he performs too well, his father may be even more afraid of him. If you behave too stupidly, your father may be even more displeased.

All in all, we are in a dilemma.

He thought for a moment and said: "The military advisor's meaning should be literal. Going to Zijingguan to protect King Qin can resolve this disaster and keep everyone safe."

That’s it for the point about the implications of giving up rebellion.

At this time, the troops came to the city, but they wanted to give up the throne. King Liuyang looked at the city wall with torches not far away and was quite unwilling.

He asked his eldest son with unclear meaning, "Why can the disaster be resolved by going to Zijingguan?"

The prince answered bravely, "Firstly, I can support the emperor and serve as the protector of the King of Practicality, and the name of rebellion will no longer exist. Secondly, my second brother and I can both be knighted through military merit. Thirdly, we can fight against tigers." Brothers, father and son go into battle, this combination has been invincible since ancient times, and it will neutralize the influence of strange dreams."

King Liuyang frowned in disbelief.

The second son became anxious when he heard this, "But father, if we really go to King Qin to escort him, we have been secretly planning for several years, and we have already arrived at the gate of the city. Wouldn't it be in vain to work making wedding clothes for others. Those Mongolian soldiers are all elite. The cavalry also has firearms. How can these soldiers and horses of ours defeat them! I’m afraid that when the time comes, the meat buns will beat the dogs and they will never come back!”

These words touched the heart of King Liuyang.

He stared at the imperial city opposite and felt a sharp heartache.

The late emperor was inferior to him in everything when he was a prince, but he inherited the throne simply because of his status as the eldest son. King Liuyang was very unwilling.

The second son noticed the change in his father's expression and knew that he was on the right track. He sighed resentfully, "If my eldest brother hadn't stopped me last night for fear that I would take away the credit, I would have followed the fierce general Chang by now. When we all entered the palace, my father was already wearing a yellow robe and was ruling the world."

The eldest son tried his best to win some favor from his father. He was afraid that his father would fall into his younger brother's scheme and arouse the greed in his heart, so he attacked the city by force and said quickly:

"Father, Mingjian. There must be something fishy about attacking the palace so easily. There are not even 50,000 troops in the capital. We only have more than 100,000 troops.

The people sent out came back to report that all city gates had been strengthened and the hidden stakes we had previously arranged on the city defense were basically cleared overnight.

This means there must be a traitor. Or someone has confessed after being exposed. It was strange that Chang Lian broke in so easily. Maybe it was a trap deliberately set by the other party, waiting for us to rush in and then kill them behind closed doors. "

He had already considered these when King Liuyang punished Chang Lian yesterday.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. It is indeed unusual for it to be so easily captured by a small group of people. But he couldn't help but be moved by the scene of his second son proclaiming himself emperor.

King Liuyang put his hands behind his hands and nodded.

"What you two said makes sense. Each of you should perform your duties first and wait for my king's orders. Among many brothers, you two are the closest. Dreams are all false and cannot be true. There is no need to go to war over an unfounded dream. . If I, the king, find out that you are fighting and killing each other in private again, I will abolish your mother-in-law and establish someone else."

The eldest son thought to himself that Jiang is still hotter with age.

It directly prevented the brothers from fighting each other in the short term and tied their interests together. Even if the strange dream thing ends here, even though the thorn in it may never be pulled out for the rest of my life, I'm afraid there will still be a fight to the death one day.

This is actually beneficial to myself.

"Yes, father. My son will obey his father's teachings."

The second son asked anxiously, "Father, are we still going to Zijingguan?"
