No shortage of walls

No one needs to prove this. The seventh prince personally discussed with Xia Tian and drank wine. It was still a letter from the Song Dynasty Workshop saying that because there were Lu people depositing the money in front of them, they did not dare to neglect it. Tens of thousands of kilograms of strong liquor would arrive a few days late. The words were full of apologies. Although the Seventh Prince didn't say anything, Xia Tian greeted Cui Zheng's mother warmly and cordially. After drinking until midnight, I got drunk first, and I was indeed caught in the middle of the night. This summer morning, before dawn, I dragged myself out of the gentle land of women.

Indeed, Xia Tian is just a bird, and he still has to consider whether his father will be seen in the middle of the night. If he could enter the palace without anyone noticing, only a god could do it.

Although Xia Tian is loved by his father, he still has the courtesy of a monarch and his subjects. His father is not someone who can be seen by his subjects if they want to see him. Moreover, he is only from the sixth rank and is not qualified to meet him directly.

But Xia Tian is just a human being, not a god, nor does he have such a fast horse, nor does he have a father whom he can meet whenever he wants.

When a subject meets his father, it is not just that he can do so if he wants to. That is the father's prerogative. Even the first-rank officials in the court dare not say that I must see your father tonight; Xia Tian is only a low-ranking official from the sixth rank, and the eunuch in the palace can inform him.

Meeting your father at night? He said it when he saw it, a little person from the sixth grade, he himself did not dare to say it.

No matter how much Emperor Xia likes him, his ministers would not dare to go beyond the rules of etiquette. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Are you impatient?

At this time, I saw him kneeling. He said hurriedly:"Get up. Of course I know it's not you, but why do you say it was you who poisoned my father to death?"

Xia Tian stood up. He cupped his hands and said:"Ever since I set up a line with the Song Dynasty for Your Highness, I have been reused by Your Highness for a long time. Who in the civil and military circles of the entire dynasty doesn't know me? And the Holy One really loves me, so the third prince said that since the Emperor is the one who gives the medicine to me, Death must be His Highness's intention. I believe that the courtiers have turned towards His Highness recently, and the Holy Heart is partial to His Highness. His Highness has the tendency to replace him. His Highness is concerned about his reputation and is unwilling to stand out. But there is no guarantee that the third prince is afraid of His Majesty. By making His Highness the Crown Prince, will the Third Prince drug the Emperor to death? And then frame His Highness? Using extraordinary means to seek the supreme position?" The

Seventh Prince said angrily:"This treacherous son! Dare to kill the king and his father to unjustly accuse me?"

Xia Tian has a worried look on his face. Said:"The third prince has been assisting the palace for a long time. Although he does not have the title of prince, he has the actual status of prince. I am afraid that the trend in the court is biased against His Highness, and the new nobles in the court have suppressed the old faction. Maybe he has received the news early and knows that the Holy His heart is partial to His Highness, so he carried out this vicious attack. It doesn't matter if his subordinates assassinate his subordinates, but if His Highness is charged with regicide and patricide, he will ascend to the supreme position and be reviled by the world. His Highness should have made plans in advance to die. You have to die innocently! Can you bear the charge of regicide and patricide for the third prince? Can you make the people of Xia Kingdom reviled forever?" The seventh prince said:"How to deal with it now?"

"His Highness ordered all the soldiers to reject the three princes first. Before the battle, he stated that the third prince had sinister intentions, and that he was about to drink with his subordinates last night and this morning. The servants he saw in the palace wrote them down truthfully one by one and posted them everywhere so that the people would know the good deeds of the third prince. In His Highness's residence, if the Third Prince needs his subordinates to confront him, and His Highness sends someone to call him, his subordinates will definitely tell the truth without fear of sword or axe. Although his subordinates are humble and talk lightly, they do not bear the crime of regicide. I am a citizen of the Xia Kingdom. I cannot bear the crime of regicide and my father. I will die for the sake of my subordinate's innocence."

The seventh prince followed and hurriedly ordered his soldiers. They went out to meet the third prince's army.

……

Liu Gongquan looked at the person in front of him. Said:"There are very few people in the world who know that you are twins. It turns out that there is no intention to use it at this moment. It's just that your father is still a spy in King Jing's army. He is as careful as a hair and takes precautions. I didn't expect that Zhao Dian persecuted you too much later. Since your brother's death, , and be even more careful; in the old days, Zhao Dian secretly murdered many of Prince Jing’s old men, and Tian Xin’s men are still chasing him for so long but no news has come back. I don’t know if it was a failure, but I have fewer manpower at the moment, so I don’t know. I have always ignored it; therefore, no one has ever known it. Now that the heir apparent is the emperor, you should go out less often and don’t let the other party’s spies see you. It’s a waste of all my efforts. Your brother’s life is a major matter for the emperor." He said while raising his hands.. Said:"The more greed you get when you join Wu, we, the Song Dynasty, are among the five countries. We have to be careful at this time." The man standing in front of him, if he hadn't said that. I thought it was Xia Tian who came back. He was the same height, same appearance, no difference at all. He probably had to be his own mother to recognize him. He was the one who poisoned Emperor Xia to death.

This one is called Li Yuejie, and she and Li Yueming, whose pseudonym is Xia Tian, ​​were born to one mother and one child.

Li Yuejie didn't answer. He asked:"My subordinates were afraid of being discovered, so they walked to a place with few people. They didn't dare to ask, what happened?"

Liu Gongquan said:"It's as I thought. The third and seventh princes of the Xia people got into a fight, and both sides said that the other party had committed patricide....Have you returned your token to your brother?"

Li Yuejie said:"I sent it back to you, there should be no deviation." Then she laughed again. Said:"Just start fighting, it's not in vain."

Liu Gongquan said:"When you go back, don't show your face less. The emperor's plan is not finished yet, and you won't be needed anymore."

Li Yuejie slowly took out the dagger from her arms, and cut herself He was scratched five times on each side of his face, dripping with blood, and the clothes in front of him were wet, but his eyes remained unchanged.

Liu Gongquan said:"For the Song Dynasty and for the emperor, you did it. Come back to me after you are injured."

Li Yuejie said:"For the Song Dynasty! For the emperor! I have never had a brother. Please help me make a different name. On the way back, I thought Well, when I was young, my family was rich. I went to my grandmother's house with my mother and met a thief. This wound was still caused by the thief."

Liu Gongquan said:"You know that wounds can't deceive others."

Li Yuejie smiled. Like a fierce ghost. Said:"My subordinates know it, but if you mark it twice, many capable people will not be able to tell it. If our brothers' files are wiped clean, no one will know that there is Li Yueming and Li Yuejie in the world. Even if there is, seventeen people are already dead." Years have passed."

Liu Gongquan said:"The moment you took over the task, I have wiped it clean. With you, King Jing and the old troops, no one can hurt the Song Dynasty, and no one can threaten the emperor."

Li Yuejie covered her face with a cloth , lowered his head and went out.

Liu Gongquan sat down slowly. The Hu people were the most troublesome. There was only one prince, the prince, so conventional methods could not be used. At this moment, he just hoped that the Hu people would not cause trouble. The state of Qi should be deterred by troublesome events.

It's even difficult to fight one against one... The Hu people's territory is too big, and they are all cavalry. Normally it doesn't matter, but at this moment, when Qi Zaiwu and Qi Zaiwu sneak attack on their border, they really don't dare to worry about the Hu people.

Even Liu He couldn't capture the second pass of Pingyang in Gyeongju. Luyao had 22,000 men defending the city, while Liu He only had 14,000. It was divided into two passes, and 7,000 attacked 11,000.

What's more, it is easier for Liu He to defend the city than to attack it, and Liu He is not an siege general.

But for Wu Jun, Xiangzhou City had to be taken back. Xiangzhou was the gateway to the capital.

Besides, it's my own place.
