Han family achievements

Chapter 503 Conspiracy
Thinking of the 'disaster' many years ago, Cai Wenji panicked and said quickly: "Mr. Xun, what do you want me to do?"

Xun You pondered for a moment and said: "My dear, it's best for Cai Gong to declare his illness and withdraw from this evaluation. He will stay behind closed doors and not see anyone to avoid all suspicions. The imperial court is already conducting a thorough investigation in secret and must not allow Cai Gong to be tainted. Suspect!”

Cai Wenji immediately stood up and said, "I'll go right away."

Xun You then stood up and said: "My Lady, not only Cai Gong, but everyone involved with Cai Gong, your Majesty, and His Highness must keep a low profile as much as possible during this period and not get involved in any trouble."

Cai Wenji is a smart person. She nodded repeatedly and couldn't wait to leave the palace.

She actually doesn't have much desire for a 'Fenghou', but for her son, she must try her best, no matter the cost!
After leaving Yongning Palace, Cai Wenji left in a hurry. There was a trace of sweat on her forehead, just like her anxious heart.

Xun You watched her leave, thought for a moment, and then left the palace.

He wanted to see how far the Sanfa Division had gone.

When passing through the Qufei Hall, I glanced out of the corner of my eye and saw many young children pouring out from the direction of Shizhonglu.

The Second Highness, Liu Shao, took the lead, followed by He Jin's grandson, He Xian's son He Yan, Cao Cao's son Cao Pi, Liu Xie's son Liu Shen and so on.

Basically, they are all six or seven years old, talking, laughing, playing, and seeming to be leaving the palace.

'Prince Chenliu should be returning to Beijing soon, right? Xun You looked at Liu Shen and said thoughtfully.

In the grand ceremony of establishing a prince, everyone can be missing, but Liu Xie cannot be missing!
Once the 'prince is registered', Liu Xie will have no hope at all, and most of the uneasiness lingering in his ambitions will be dissipated.

With great unification and order, the world is at peace!
While Xun You was thinking about Liu Xie, Liu Xie had already left Changping of Liang State and was about to enter Yingchuan County and then return to Luoyang.

Sitting on the carriage, Liu Xie looked relaxed, and Mi Zhu, who was riding beside the carriage, smiled and said: "This year's floods have been relieved. The hard work of the noble families in Yuzhou has made great achievements."

Mi Zhu's face was filled with dust and tiredness. Hearing this, he turned slightly stiffly and said: "Your Highness, regardless of the danger, went to dangerous places personally. This is the key to curbing the flood. Your Highness's benevolent heart is admirable to me."

Although Liu Xie knew full well about Mi Zhu's compliments, he still couldn't help but smile smugly.

He did take a huge risk this time, but he still succeeded in containing the impending flood. This sense of accomplishment derived from the adventurous efforts made Liu Xie unprecedentedly satisfied.

Mi Zhu saw Liu Xie's expression clearly and said calmly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has decreed that a grand ceremony for the appointment of the queen and the establishment of the crown prince will be held next month."

Liu Xie's smile stiffened for a moment, and then he said more comfortably: "It's a good thing. We have been persuading His Majesty for many years, and Your Majesty has finally made up his mind. It is a good thing for the country and the people."

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Mi Zhu could clearly hear the loneliness in Liu Xie's voice.

After saying this, Liu Xie put down the curtains, leaned on the wall, and couldn't help but let out a long and gentle breath.

Many years have passed since the 'battle for the throne', but this incident is like a thorn, rooted in the hearts of countless people in both the government and the public.

Naturally, as one of the protagonists and the loser, Liu Xie is still fresh in his memory and cannot forget it.

That was the supreme position in the world. It was unique. He was once so close and within reach!
How could anyone easily forget such a big thing?
'You should be able to live in peace, right? '

Liu Xie murmured to himself. His current mood is extremely contradictory, with both relief and reluctance, and more importantly, an indescribable complex emotion.

Drop~
Suddenly, a harsh beep sounded, causing Liu Xie's motorcade to stop abruptly.

Mi Zhu looked around and shouted urgently: "Who, who made the noise?"

The Imperial Army Marquis responsible for escorting Liu Xie rushed left and right, ordered the escort to change into a defensive formation, and at the same time came to Liu Xie's carriage and said: "Your Highness, it should be a mile away. I don't know what the situation is yet. The general has already sent someone." Went to investigate."

Liu Xie had already gotten out of the carriage and was standing in front, looking in the direction of Ming Dy. His expression was not nervous, but just a little curious.

Mingdi has always been used to report messages. Is this for him or someone else?

"Report!" The imperial cavalry who had just left to investigate rushed over quickly, without even bothering to dismount, and said urgently: "Your Highness, the military lord, the direct lineage, a group of masked men are coming to kill here!"

"How many people!?" Junhou's expression darkened, and he shouted before Liu Xie.

The cavalry reined in their horses and shouted back: "Hundreds of people!"

Mi Zhu suddenly became nervous and said to Liu Xie hurriedly: "Your Highness, it's better to leave quickly. It's probably the bandits nearby who want to rob us."

Although Liu Xie had never experienced a military formation, he also knew that it was too late to escape now, and if he escaped, he would most likely be overtaken and die.

He looked at the military lord escorting him.

The military prince had experienced many battles, otherwise he would not have sent Liu Xie. He said calmly and calmly: "Your Highness, the sound of Dy is a warning to Your Highness. As long as we hold on for a while, reinforcements are coming!"

Liu Xie tried his best to stay calm and said, "Okay, I'll let you make the arrangements."

"As ordered!"

After receiving the order, the military commander inspected and adjusted the formation, making every effort to guard against enemy attacks from the east.

There were only seventy people in total, surrounding Liu Xie's carriage, facing the coming bandits.

It didn't take long for the sound of horse hooves to thunder, and Liu Xie, who was standing on the carriage, saw the big man with his face covered, riding a horse, dust filled the sky, and charging towards him with murderous intent.

shhhhhh

Before anyone arrived, arrows rained down from the sky.

"Ahhh~"

The Forbidden Army did not have shields, and no one knew how many people were hit by arrows and screamed in agony.

The military marquis pulled Liu Xie down and hid behind the carriage, using all means to avoid the rain of arrows.

"kill!"

The bandits quickly came over, surrounded the Forbidden Army, and charged back and forth with cavalry.

Mi Zhu and Liu Xie were hiding together, their faces pale and trembling, and they said anxiously: "Reinforcements, when will the reinforcements arrive?"

No one answered him, the Imperial Guards were busy fending off the bandits.

There were hundreds of people in this group of bandits, and coupled with the previous rain of arrows, their momentum had already overwhelmed them.

The current Liu Xie team is like fish on the chopping board. It is only a matter of time before they are killed.

The leading bandit was riding a horse and sitting not far away, staring intently at Liu Xie behind the carriage.

Puff puff puff
The Imperial Guards fell to the ground one after another, and of the more than seventy people, only half remained in the blink of an eye, surrounding the carriage, vigilantly resisting the bandits' attacks one after another.

The military lord had already brought him with him, but he didn't care. He guarded Liu Xie in front of him, desperately trying to stop the bandits from charging towards him.

Liu Xie held on to the carriage with both hands, feeling extremely frightened.

He had long been accustomed to being 'fearful'. In Luoyang City, he was frightened all day and night, walking on thin ice, but this group of bandits was different, it was a different kind of 'fear'.

"Quick! Kill them all except the two officials!" The leading bandit looked into the distance and shouted.
