Vol 2 Chapter 968: To kill a few more people (three shifts)

Master Lu took the will and decided to do a big job.
Without Liu Zhao's presence, he took care of the courtiers who were stuck outside the gate of the Jinluang Temple, and dispelled them from the palace and went back to their respective houses.
I also ordered a few people and agreed to meet in the political affairs hall tomorrow morning to discuss important matters.
Liu Zhaoku sat in the Jinluan Temple and did not intend to leave.
The waiters were worried, anxious, and could not persuade.
Lin Shuping made a decisive decision, "Go and ask the empress!"
Now only the empress can persuade her majesty.
Outside the Qin Palace, Xiao Qin'er and Liu Zheng had been kneeling for a day, their knees were suffering from piercing pain, and their legs seemed to be no longer theirs.
It will be dark, but the gate of Prince Qin's Mansion is closed, and it seems that it will never open.
Xiao Qin'er is desperate!
Is it finished?
Is it really over?
She cried silently.
Liu Zheng in turn comforted her, "If the mother can't stand it, she might as well take a break in the carriage. The son continues to kneel."
Xiao Qin'er shook his head, "It's no problem in this palace!"
In panic, the side door of the Qin Palace opened.
A carriage drove out.
This is the empress's car.
Xiao Qin'er recognized it at a glance. She trembled and was extremely excited.
The carriage stopped in front of her and the window opened.
"Kow to see the empress!" The mother and son bowed their heads in salute.
Even if you are wronged, your life is in the hands of the opponent and you can only surrender!
Gu Jiu looked at Xiao Qin'er coldly, then glanced at Liu Yi, who was lying on the ground unconscious, without saying a word.
Xiao Qin'er panicked!
Don't say a word?
I really want to die!
Anyhow, say something! Even if you only say one word.
Suddenly the window closed, the carriage started and moved forward slowly.
Xiao Qin'er was dumbfounded and could not understand at all.
"Niang..."
She yelled loudly, panicking.
Maid Aqing came to Xiao Qin'er, "Wang Hao, please come back."
"What the do you mean? Can you tell me?" she begged.
Ah Qing said with a blank expression, "The palace will take care of the news when the princess returns to the house."
"Wait, wait for any news?" Xiao Qin'er stammered.
"When the order comes down, the princess will know it. Please leave as soon as possible. The empress doesn't like someone kneeling at the gate of the palace."
Is that so?
Aqing finished speaking and left immediately.
Xiao Qin'er was stunned.
Liu Zheng asked quietly: "Mother, shall we continue to kneel?"
Xiao Qin'er patted her cheek, "Go home!"
Trying to stand up, his legs have completely lost consciousness.
Fortunately, the mother-in-law has quick eyes and quick hands, holding her back.
She was carried into the carriage by her mother-in-law and lay down directly.
Liu Zheng didn't get any better, but he was young and had good physical strength. After getting on the carriage, his legs gradually recovered consciousness.
Go back to the palace, ask the doctor to prescribe medicine to treat the legs, and wait patiently for news.
...
Gu Jiu took a carriage into the palace.
Jinluan Temple is dimly lit and terribly quiet!
The lively and magnificent Jinluang Temple during the day, at night, seems to be the incarnation of demons and ghosts, coming out to eat people at any time.
Gu Jiu ordered people to light a candle to make the hall brighter anyway.
She saw Liu Zhao sitting on the steps without any imperial burden, so she couldn't help but sigh.
You know, Liu Zhao still loves face on weekdays.
Gu Jiu waved his hand, and all the palace staff retreated.
She stepped forward, sat down next to Liu Zhao, stretched her legs, and said, "The first time I sat in the Jinluan Temple, it was still at night. It was a bit weird."
Liu Zhao grasped her hand, but made no sound.
She leaned on his shoulder and asked quietly: "Want to cry?"
Liu Zhao snorted, greatly dissatisfied.
He is a magnificent emperor, how could he cry, she would underestimate him.
Gu Jiu hooked his palm, "Is it uncomfortable?"
Liu Zhao didn't say anything, which is so comforting. It was clear whether he was stabbing his heart with a knife, or one after another, without mercy.
Women are terrible!
Gu Jiu said to himself, "I feel uncomfortable for you. This position is really too difficult. Especially if you want to be an emperor who makes a difference, it is even more difficult."
What is not difficult?
It's the easiest to be a real faint king, do whatever you want, regardless of family and country matters, and just care about personal desires.
"But I know your temperament. You like challenges and you like to face difficulties. Asking you to take a step back, you are afraid that you will quarrel with me."
Am I so stingy?
Liu Zhao stared at Gu Jiu suspiciously.
Wouldn't the conscience hurt when he was buried while he was uncomfortable?
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and said, "Do what you want to do and stick to what you think is right."
"I didn't get the slightest comfort." Liu Zhao finally spoke, full of accusations.
For comfort, don’t worry at all, OK?
Can you show some sincerity and go with your heart?
Gu Jiute disliked, "It seems that you are not too sad, so you don't have to get up quickly and go back to sleep."
That's too much!
Liu Zhao hummed twice to show his dissatisfaction.
Gu Jiu said with a stern face, "You are already a mature man. You must stand the test and don't play a childish temper."
Liu Zhao wanted to vomit blood.
"When do I play a kid's temper?"
"You are right now. It looks like I'm upset, come and coax me, it's not much different from a three-year-old."
"Can a three-year-old kid be so powerful and domineering like me?"
"The queen mother bullied you, do you want to cry?"
unacceptable! Specially sprinkle salt on the wound, causing secondary damage.
Liu Zhao snorted and turned his head to show his dissatisfaction.
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "I know you feel uncomfortable and you don't want to face the Queen Mother. Let me deal with it if the Queen Mother is there."
"I have made a decision, I will not do anything to her. But the Pei family must pay for her."
"This matter is up to you, and I will never interfere."
"Lu Aiqing has guessed the overall plan, and I will leave it to him to handle the next thing."
"It should have been so long ago! Although Lu Aiqing is a person left behind by the first emperor, he is an upright and flexible person and should be reused."
"You always speak for others."
"I'm checking for you to fill in the gaps."
"You dislike me!" Liu Zhao complained, wronged.
Gu Jiu hugged him, "I didn't despise you the first day."
To tell the truth, Liu Zhao became more heartbroken.
Liu Zhao questioned: "Are you my queen? Where are you standing? Always attacking me, picking up on my problems, I am very unhappy."
Gu Jiu squeezed his nose, "If I don't fault you, you will commit arrogance."
"You don't trust me so much."
"I trust you and I will fill in the gaps for you. If I don't trust you, I won't be too lazy to say a word, lest you be settled by you."
"I am not that kind of person."
Hahaha...
This is a joke.
Is Liu Zhaoqiu less time to settle accounts?
Jai Xuan must be reported, chicken belly, talking about Liu Zhao.
Of course, Gu Jiu is not much better in this respect, and it is also a must.
It's just that the two people have different ways to get back.
Gu Jiu does not take human life.
Liu Zhao did it if he didn't accept it.
"I just didn't expect that so many people would oppose me. It feels bad."
Liu Zhao thought that he was enthroned and proclaimed the emperor, which is what everyone expected. At least among officials, it should be expected.
Unexpectedly, in the first year of Jingming, the event of forcing the palace to abolish the emperor would happen, and it would also be recorded in history books and specially written in later generations. All the face is lost.
Gu Jiu smiled, and said: "It should be said that the steps are too high and they are pulling."
Liu Zhao wiped his face and tried to cheer up, "You also suggest me to slow down?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "This is the end of the matter, it can't be eased. I can only bite the bullet and rush forward."
"Don't worry about me taking away the throne?"
"Don't worry! Who dares to oppose you, I will stand for you."
Liu Zhao loved to hear this.
He hugged her, "You must always support me and stand by my side."
Gu Jiu patted the back of his hand, "I don't support you, who else can I support. You just have too many eyes."
"You want to say that I am careful and straightforward, and don't need to be ambiguous."
Gu Jiu lifted his face, "You are indeed careful, little chicken belly. Is there any eye for today's disaster? Has Jin Wuwei found anything?"
"I'm investigating it, not so fast. I plan to stop for three days and take the opportunity to loosen up."
"Should Xiaozhu take a hot spring?"
"Very good!"
Martial law in the capital, panic, and when the courtiers were restless, the two emperors and queens happily ran to Xiaozhu to soak in the hot springs.
Lord Lu vomited blood after learning of this.
"At this time, your majesty and the empress are still thinking about bathing in hot springs. Why are they not in a hurry?"
The courtiers were all anxious to death, thinking that the emperor stopped the court for three days in order to close the door and lick the wound. How do you know that the emperor stopped the court just to sneak out of the palace and ran to enjoy life.
As an emperor, how can you be so headstrong!
Forcing the palace to destroy the emperor, such a big event, as the emperor, at any rate, show the emotions of anger, loss, reflection, etc., instead of going to the hot springs.
What was even more frustrating was that Master Lu had to hide it for the emperor. Let the courtiers mistakenly think that the emperor spent all day in Xingqing Palace reflecting on himself.
Master Lu and Renqiu complained about Emperor Liu Zhao of Jingming.
"He is the most capricious emperor the old man has ever seen. It's no wonder that less than a year after he became the throne, someone forced the palace to abolish the emperor."
Ren Qiu rolled his eyes secretly, "Being extraordinary in extraordinary times is in line with the style of the empress empress."
"The empress must have bewitched your majesty."
"Don't walk around, it's dazzling. I think it's more useful to go to the hot spring to relax at this time than to reflect on yourself in Xingqing Palace."
"How can you speak for your majesty?"
Master Lu was heartbroken, thinking that Ren Qiu had rebelled.
As a courtier, he should stand on the opposite side of the emperor at this time and persuade the emperor to do the right thing.
Ren Qiu pointed to his head,
Don’t always think about things like the old ones, but have the courage to make breakthroughs and innovations. It’s like dealing with the Luhou incident and changing to your group of open-minded ancestors, closed-mouthed decent people. There is a second point where you want to get it. The road can go. There is no rule that the emperor must stay in the palace to reflect on himself when something happens to force the palace to disuse the emperor. At this time, there is nothing wrong with choosing hot springs.
"Can bathing in hot springs solve the problem?"
"At least it can calm your majesty's anger."
Master Lu thought for a while, it seems, it seems, that what Ren Qiu said also makes sense.
He murmured, "I hope your Majesty can kill a few fewer people this time."
Ren Qiu shook his head repeatedly, "Impossible! It is not in your Majesty's interest to not kill a few people for such a big thing."
