Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 885
"Presumptuous, is this Tiger Talisman available to you? Get out of here!"

Liu Wei didn't give Liu Li any face, and scolded him repeatedly.

"Father, if the second brother doesn't want it, just give it to me!"

Liu Li has been fascinated, and despite Liu Wei's scolding, he begged Liu Wei cheekily.

"Come on, pull him out for me!"

Two tiger guards walked in from outside the hall, set up Liu Li and dragged him out.

Then Liu Wei only said a word, asked Liu Peng to accept the tiger charm, and then left.

Looking at Liu Wei's hunched back, Liu Peng really thought that Liu Wei was ill and would die soon. He knelt down on the ground with red eyes, raised his hands above his head, and took the tray from the eunuch.

He said firmly in his heart: "Since father can trust me, I will definitely let Rui'er take over the throne smoothly. If anyone makes trouble, then don't blame my ruthless subordinates!"

Liu Peng and his elder brother Liu An had the strongest relationship. After Liu An died, Liu Peng became taciturn, but his heart became more cruel.

Liu Peng took the tiger talisman, stood up, glanced at those restless princes, and said to himself that if you are sensible, you can just be a dude in your own right, and if there is any change, he will never show mercy.

After Liu Wei returned to the palace, he continued to review the memorials as usual, but ordered additional Jinyiwei personnel to be sent to Liu Peng's residence to monitor Liu Peng's every move.

Among the Tiger Talismans given to Liu Peng by Liu Wei, there are only three Tiger Talismans that can mobilize soldiers and horses, all of which are soldiers and horses in the capital, and the rest of the Tiger Talismans are fake, which do not match at all with the Tiger Talismans in the army outside the city. less than one place.

Liu Wei went to court for a few more days. Afterwards, Liu Wei said that he was sick and could not go to court. All matters were written as memorials by ministers and handed over to Liu Wei by a special person, and Liu Wei reviewed them among himself.

In a few days, Liu Wei simply refused to review any memorials, and appointed Chen Qun and others as Gu Ming ministers, and all the memorials that had been handed down to Beijing from all over the country were sent to Liu Peng's mansion to be handled by several Gu Ming ministers.

Claiming to the outside world that he is already bedridden, I am afraid he will die soon.

As soon as the news of Liu Wei's serious illness came out, the entire capital fell into chaos, and those restless princes became active.

They were not reconciled to the throne falling into the hands of a little kid like Liu Rui.

But they don't have many soldiers and horses in their hands. If they want to seize the throne, they must have Liu Peng's support. kicked out.

Everyone was threatened by Liu Peng: "If you don't want to die, you will give me your share. If anyone wants to die and want to seize the throne, then give it a try and see if Liu Peng will show mercy and keep them." One life!"

And all of this, Liu Wei knew everything, including when these princes visited Liu Peng, how long Liu Peng stayed with them, and what they said, Jin Yiwei reported everything to Liu Wei.

And Liu Peng's performance made Liu Wei very satisfied, and all these people were kicked out by Liu Peng without exception.

Liu Wei looked at the letter on the table and said with a faint smile: "I'm afraid Liu Rui doesn't know about these things yet. When he grows up and knows about this, I don't know what he will think!"

The princes were naturally not reconciled to the failure to win over Liu Peng. Seeing that Liu Wei was about to "return to the west" and the throne was about to fall to Liu Rui, how could they not be in a hurry.

More than a dozen princes got together to discuss, and finally came to a conclusion, that is the alliance, first kill the biggest threat - Liu Rui and Liu Peng, after killing them, these princes will fight for the throne.

If Liu Rui and Liu Peng can't be killed, they don't even have to think about the throne.

Eunuch Ma has been by Liu Wei's side for the past few days. In order to prevent the news of Liu Wei pretending to be sick, Liu Wei does not go out every day, and no one can see Liu Wei. Responsible for solving.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take your medicine!"

Eunuch Ma held the medicine bowl sent by the little eunuch and said to Liu Wei.

"fall down!"

Liu Wei didn't want to drink this bowl of bitter water, so he asked Eunuch Ma to pour out the medicine, and then asked, "Old Ma, do you think I'm doing too much? Do you think Peng'er will let me down?"

Eunuch Ma nodded: "Your Majesty, this old slave also thinks that you are doing too much. I think that when you didn't think about eating and drinking, this old slave went to find the second prince. It was the second prince's idea to ask the queen to persuade you!"

"It seems that I am overthinking!"

Liu Wei laughed at himself, and then said: "Actually, I'm not pretending to be ill. These bastards can't sit still anymore. They're all peeping at the throne, and they've all formed an alliance!"

Eunuch Ma is the roundworm in Liu Wei's stomach, and he has a very clear view of the current situation. He said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the reason why they dare to seek the throne is to bully the prince when he is young. If you wait a few years, the prince will grow up. With the help of the second prince, no one of them would dare to have the slightest disagreement with the throne!"

"It also makes sense!"

Liu Wei nodded.

"I'm going to sleep, you go down and rest too!"

Liu Wei took off his coat and prepared to go to bed.

"Clang clang clang!"

But at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

Liu Wei looked at Eunuch Ma in surprise, meaning to ask Eunuch Ma why someone would knock on the door.

Eunuch Ma shook his head, expressing that he didn't know either.

Liu Wei lay down quickly, and then Eunuch Ma asked, "Who is it?"

"It's Eunuch Ma, it's me, I'm Concubine De (Ren Hongchang)!"

"Oh, so it's Empress Defei, what's the matter?"

Eunuch Ma didn't intend to open the door at all.

Concubine De said outside the door: "Eunuch Ma, can you open the door and let me go in to see Your Majesty?"

Concubine De spoke in a commanding tone.

"Ms. De Concubine, it's not that our family doesn't let you come in to see it. It's because His Majesty ordered before he passed out that no one is allowed to enter His Majesty's bedroom except the old slave. Don't embarrass the old slave!"

Eunuch Ma didn't intend to open the door at all.

Concubine De was a little angry, and her tone became more serious: "Eunuch Ma, if you talk about it, you are just an outsider, and I am His Majesty's family. I followed His Majesty when I was in Liaozhou. Now Your Majesty is seriously ill. Can I Can't you even see His Majesty?"

"Forgive the hardship!"

After Ma Gonggong finished speaking, he ignored Concubine De.

Concubine De gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, you can do it, you have a family, the surname is Ma, let's wait and see!"

The reason why Concubine De came to visit Liu Wei was because her son Liu Li entered the palace to beg her, but she came several times and never saw Liu Wei at all. Several times he wanted to force his way in, but Eunuch Ma locked the door from the house It's locked and you can't get in at all.

Concubine De left angrily after she said a harsh word.

This time Liu Wei didn't dare to let Eunuch Ma go. After ordering Eunuch Ma to close the bed curtain, he sent someone to build a small bed in the house, and Eunuch Ma slept in Liu Wei's room to prevent anyone from breaking in. .
