Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 909 The hidden meaning behind it

The next morning.

The eldest princess went to visit King Liang with many precious medicinal materials.

The servant said that King Liang was still recovering from his injuries and it was not suitable to see guests. The eldest princess just smiled and asked the female official to bring the things up.

A large and exquisite brocade box was handed to the steward. The eldest princess shook the sleeves of Jin Luofeng and said: "Tell the emperor for this palace that these are the medicinal materials specially prepared by this palace for him to prepare." It is for body use, but you must weigh it before using it, after all, overdose can kill people."

After the eldest princess finished speaking, she left Prince Liang's Mansion neatly. The housekeeper presented the brocade box to Prince Liang. When he opened it, a black-bone old hen jumped out and shook off several feathers.

Prince Liang was lying on the bed, looking at the frightened old hens running around the room and murmuring to himself: "What does Danruo mean?"

Chang Shi stood in front of his bed and explained after hearing the words: "Your Highness, this old hen is usually timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and will run away in fear when it sees people. But once it hatches chickens and becomes a mother, it will Become fearless.”

"I am thinking that the eldest princess is warning His Highness about what happened last night, telling His Highness that if Princess Zhenli is threatened again, the eldest princess will fight against His Highness at all costs."

This eldest son, whose surname was Zhao, was already quite old. He had worked under the King of Liang for half his life. He was a reliable man and the King of Liang had always relied on him.

After hearing what Zhao Changshi said, King Liang had no choice but to say: "This Danruo has always had such a temper, and he is very protective of his shortcomings. In the final analysis, you are the one who bribed him. What did you do? Let me be beaten by your majesty. It also caused me to be targeted by Danruo, who in the clan doesn’t know that she is a ghost?”

Zhao Changshi said: "Your Highness, this matter is my fault. Duke Yue is strict in his rule. Most of the Qilin Guards are sincerely convinced and loyal to him. Yang Qianhu also spent a lot of effort to bribe him."

King Liang pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty beat me, and the eldest princess also came to express her position. Although they made a big battle, they did not really exert their strength. They were more vigilant. What does this mean?"

Zhao Changshi thought for a while and said: "I believe that both your majesty and the eldest princess are sending you a message, that is, don't touch their people."

"Your Majesty relies heavily on the Duke of Yue, and the Duke of Yue is the future son-in-law of the eldest princess. I think they want you not to bite the Duke of Yue."

"Your Highness, please think about it. Yang Qianhu committed such a serious crime, but his Majesty sentenced him to be beheaded at the Meridian Gate three days later. I think this is not only a time limit for beheading, but also a time limit for Your Highness."

"In the past few days, if His Majesty ignores the warnings of His Majesty and the eldest princess and continues to bite the Duke of Yue, then His Majesty will use Yang Qianhu to punish you."

The King of Liang was helpless: "The person who assassinated me was Lu Mingyong. I saw it for real. Is there any lie? Your Majesty and Danruo asked me to let Lu Mingyong go. How could I take this revenge?" Don’t want to retaliate?”

Zhao Changshi quickly advised: "Your Highness, don't you understand? What did Yang Qianhu do? He looked at Zhu Chengbi and mistakenly identified Lord Zhongshu Ling as the Duke of Yue."

"I believe that His Majesty's attack on Prince Liang's Mansion was just an excuse. His real intention was to use Yang Qianhu's incident to tell His Highness that you may have been mistaken. The person who assassinated you may not be the Duke of Yue."

King Liang suddenly realized: "Your analysis is very reasonable. When I think about it carefully, it is indeed what you mean. It seems that you must swallow this tone."

Zhao Changshi said: "Your Highness, I actually have a suspicion in my mind. Since Lu Mingyong became the commander of the Qilin Guards, he has offended all the civil and military officials in the dynasty. Although this person is very evil, if he is If you want to harm anyone, you have always struck straight.”

The King of Liang asked doubtfully: "Do you think he was not the one who assassinated my king?" Zhao Changshi nodded: "It is not in line with the character of the Duke of Yue, and there is no reasonable motive. I think this is just a frame-up."

King Liang agreed and said: "What you said makes sense. If you kill me, Lu Mingyong will not gain much benefit."

Zhao Changshi said: "Based on all your Majesty's actions, I think your Majesty is making a deal with you."

King Liang was puzzled: "Transaction?"

Zhao Changshi said: "Yes, a deal. Your Highness, since the funerary objects can go from His Highness's warehouse to the basement of the Yu family, it means that someone must know about His Highness's theft of the funerary objects, and His Majesty may also know something about it."

"But this time the funerary objects were stolen. His Majesty picked them up high and put them down low. He just got very angry but did not take any action. No one was punished for such a big thing as the theft of funerary objects."

"In addition to Feng Xiang's intentional or unintentional reminder, I believe that the reason why His Majesty held back was not because he was not angry, but because he wanted to use this matter to let His Majesty and the Yu family fight to the death."

King Liang was silent for a long time, and then he said: "Why did your Majesty do this?"

Zhao Changshi analyzed: "Firstly, to punish His Highness for stealing the grave goods, and secondly, to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."

"The Yu family is a veteran of the Qin Dynasty. It can be considered a relatively powerful family. Three generations have been ministers of the Qin Dynasty. It is the general trend that Your Majesty will touch them."

"Think about it, His Majesty has just ascended the throne and is in the stage of reforming the Yuan Dynasty and establishing a new one. Changing the power of the great family is also an indispensable process for reforming the Yuan Dynasty and establishing a new one."

"Your Majesty must let the world know that he holds great power. Even the old man who was very popular with the late emperor cannot compete with him."

"In this case, if His Highness wins and the crime of stealing grave goods is completely laid on the Yu family, it will provide a good opportunity for Your Majesty to rectify the situation in the court. In order to scare the monkeys, Your Majesty will definitely take advantage of the Yu family's crimes. guilty, then you are safe.”

"If the Yu family wins, then His Highness will become a victim of His Majesty's attempt to intimidate the clan. You are His Majesty's uncle. If His Majesty is still unselfish to you, let alone those who are several levels apart."

"All in all, His Majesty's handle is all in His Majesty's hands. What we have to do at this time is not to worry about who assassinated you, but to go with the flow and be willing to be His Majesty's sword. Otherwise, Prince Liang's Mansion will really be over."

Liang Wang listened to Zhao Changshi's reasonable analysis and suddenly stared at him and asked: "You were not so alert before. Have you seen anyone in the past few days?"

Zhao Changshi sighed: "Your Highness, I haven't seen anyone. These are all my conjectures, because I know that if the person behind your Majesty is Feng Xiang, then this matter must be true."

King Liang seemed to be lost in memories: "If it was Feng Xiang's handiwork, then it is understandable. After all, times have changed. His Majesty is not the late emperor, so it is not so easy to fool him. You can let the word out on my behalf and say to assassinate me." This person is not the Duke of Yue..."

King Liang's surrender allowed Lu Mingyong, who had been pushed to the forefront, to return to the shore safely.
