farmer's husband

Chapter 717

"Sister, let's say goodbye first!" But the imperial concubine immediately stopped him, "Although the prince's behavior is hateful, it is only a few verbal rhetoric. In fact, didn't he do nothing? Then you Why bother to kill him? You heard what the emperor said before he died. He hoped that all the princes could live together in harmony. But now that the emperor's body is still cold, you are going to attack the prince. The emperor is still watching you, you Say how chilling he must have been when he heard that!"

Concubine Chai's eyes darkened.

The two women who had cooperated seamlessly to deal with the prince just now, after achieving the same goal, immediately separated and became hostile to each other.

Moreover, the imperial concubine also chose the timing too delicately, she directly put all the responsibility on Chai Guifei!

Concubine Chai can only do her best to throw down the hat she put on her head.

So she sniffed, and two tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

"Sister Imperial Concubine, my sister knows that you said this for the emperor's will, but sister, I did this for the emperor's sake, right? The prince was unfaithful and unfilial, and forced the emperor to death. We all saw this scene I didn't say what to do with him, but he did something wrong, shouldn't he be punished? The emperor has always distinguished between public and private, and has strict rewards and punishments. Even if he is still alive, he will definitely punish the prince."

"But what you said is right. Now that the emperor's bones are still cold, what we should do right now is to take this last chance to spend more time with the emperor. As for the prince... I believe that Sangong and six ministers are here, and they will take care of things OK."

After finishing speaking, she hugged King Yong, and the mother and son embraced and cried.

When the imperial concubine saw this, she couldn't help biting her lips, and screamed in her heart - if it's because my son is not in the capital, do you think I don't want to kill the prince right away?But now, I can't!
Therefore, the two women have their own thoughts, one wants to get rid of the prince now so that his son can take advantage of the situation, and the other wants to keep the prince desperately, wanting him to delay until King Qin returns.They compete with each other, and this rivalry is the whole emperor's mourning period.

The emperor passed away, and the whole country mourned.

The news quickly spread to Liangzhou through Babaili.

However, when the news reached them, it was already three days later.

When King Liang received the news, everyone was dumbfounded.

"How could it be so fast? Father, he... obviously when you returned to Beijing last time, didn't you say that he was in good spirits, and could stand up and send the two imperial sisters to marry?"

Princess Liang lowered her eyes. "My lord, my father has passed away. This is a fact. Right now, let's pack up quickly and prepare to return to Beijing for the funeral!"

"Need it?" Chun Zhihe said softly.

Both Wang Liang and Princess Liang looked back at her.

Chun Zhi raised his head and smiled slightly: "This urgent letter from eight hundred miles only informs us of the news of the emperor's death, but it does not mean to summon you back to Beijing for the funeral."

King Liang hurriedly lowered his head and glanced, and his eyes became very strange in an instant.

Princess Liang found out, and her face immediately changed. "What's going on here? Could it be that the person who wrote the letter was in a hurry and forgot to write it?"

"Do you think it's possible?" Chun Zhi asked softly.

Princess Liang shook her head. "impossible."

"It should be their intention." Liang Wang said slowly, "You have also seen that the father died, but the new emperor has not yet been determined. Without the new emperor issuing an edict, who would dare to take the initiative to find the prince back? Going to the capital to mourn? So now, we only need to set up a mourning hall for the father in Liangzhou. "

Princess Liang's eyes flashed immediately.

"But it seems to me that the letter did not say that the crown prince was abolished. But judging from the situation, the crown prince is clearly still alive, but he has not inherited the throne. Could it be that..."

"It should be what you think." Liang Wang nodded, "So now, the concubine mother and the imperial concubine are fighting fiercely in the palace. I'm afraid that the younger uncle's family and the imperial concubine's natal family are also strangling each other in the capital. That This place is just a dragon pool and a tiger's lair, so it's better for us to stay away. Wouldn't it be better to just stay here, kowtow to the emperor quietly and burn a few pieces of paper?"

"My lord, what you said is true." Concubine Liang nodded quickly, "In that case, I will let people prepare the mourning hall!"

Chunzhi thought for a while before she spoke. "There will be no mourning hall in my princess mansion, I will live here for the next few days to mourn for the emperor!"

Liang Wang paused, and then he nodded. "Okay. After such a big incident, we really should be together now."

Chun Zhi nodded, this matter is now settled.

Soon, the mourning hall of Prince Liang's Mansion was erected.Thick white banners were hung inside and outside the palace, and even in the entire city of Liangzhou.

Liangzhou was very windy, a gust of wind blew, and white flags fluttered, almost dyeing the entire Liangzhou city pale.Coupled with the officials from Liangzhou and even the border who came to express their condolences one after another, the entire Liangzhou city seemed to be plunged into an unresolved sadness.

But the mourning hall had only been erected for a few days. That night, all the officials who came to offer their condolences had gone back. In the mourning hall, only King Liang, Princess Liang, and a group of children knelt in front of the emperor's funeral kowtow and burned paper.

At this time, I saw a young servant who was also covered in plain clothes quietly walking over.

"My lord, there is a letter from His Royal Highness Qin Wang."

King Liang took the letter over, and when he opened it, his expression froze.

"What's wrong?" Princess Liang asked softly.

"Brother Liuhuang has already rushed back to the capital." King Liang said in a low voice, "Besides, he also advised me to go back as soon as possible to help him."

"My lord, absolutely not!" Princess Liang grabbed his sleeve in fright.

The corners of Liang Wang's lips hooked slightly. "Don't worry, I won't. Now the capital is the battlefield of the Sixth Brother and the 23rd Brother. I won't go back and intervene. Over the years, I have done what I should do for them. If there are many, I will Won't do it again."

Princess Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

But on the second day, another letter was sent to King Liang, this time it was sent by Concubine Chai.

"The concubine mother ordered me to return to Beijing to support the 23rd brother. She also promised me that as long as I can help the 23rd brother succeed, our past grievances will be wiped out, and she will not pursue me for betraying her. Give me the best part of the south of the Yangtze River as a fief, and let my descendants enjoy the glory and wealth there for generations."

After finishing the contents of the letter with Chun Zhi, Liang Wang smiled slightly: "This is really a great temptation! Auntie, tell me, should I promise her?"

"If you want to agree, you should be ready to go by now." Chun Zhi only said.

Liang Wang laughed again. "Auntie, you know me best."

"However," he let out a light breath again, "I never expected that I would still be so popular? Brother Liu Huang returned to Beijing to win the throne, and he had to pull me in. The concubine mother pushed the younger brother 23 to go up, and she also wanted to I'll help! They are obviously two forces that are hostile to each other, but why are they all targeting me? Am I that powerful?"

"Of course you have." Chun Zhi nodded, "With your current reputation and status in the north, whoever you choose to support will have a better chance of winning. Now is the time when they are in a fierce battle, so of course you must All the help that can be obtained has been obtained."

"Then, Auntie, you are not worse than me at all. Why don't they come to you?"

"Because they don't believe me!" Chun Zhi said with a smile, "I and the imperial concubine are already inseparable, and me and the king of Qin... At the beginning when I separated from Chai Dong, he also contributed a lot to this. He must be worried about me. I have been holding grudges. After all, compared to you, I am still much more unreliable. Of course, there is another reason - now we are one. As long as you choose to stand up and help someone, I will definitely stand with you without hesitation. On the side. If that’s the case, why should they waste their efforts to win me over? It’s enough to win you over!”

"That's right." Liang Wang nodded, "It's a pity that I don't want to help anyone now. I just want to watch the fun!"

After that, he raised his legs up, with a gloating expression on his face: "They have tortured me for so many years, and now it's finally their turn to torture each other, so I don't want to go to that muddy water again! Now I'm sitting Watch them tossing each other here, and whoever wins later, I will write another memorial and surrender, that's enough!"

Chunzhi nodded. "I think so too."

However, the facts immediately proved that it was useless for them to think so.
