Chapter 1596 There will never be peace!

Jinling, Wuying Hall

The news from Nanchu changed so fast that Daliang was a little confused.

Emperor Liang looked at the memorial in his hand and asked Liu Shoufu excitedly, "Liu Qing, you said that most of the officials in the counties of Nanchu were lost, and the emperor of Nanchu actually took action against the local aristocratic families. Do you think that at this time, is it right?" Is there a good opportunity for us to take over Nanchu?"

Liu Shoufu glanced awkwardly at Emperor Liang, who was still ambitious in his later years, and then persuaded him bravely, "Your Majesty, in fact, when something like this happened in Nanchu, our officials in Daliang counties were also frightened. They are all repenting for the mistakes they have made and taking the initiative to make amends to the victims. I know of several cases."

Emperor Liang was still pacing excitedly in front of the dragon chair, but after hearing Liu Shoufu's words, he couldn't help but stop and asked in disbelief, "Aren't you kidding me? We, Liang officials, but how could the talented people we selected be as miserable as Nanchu?"

Liu Shoufu glanced at King Yu quietly in embarrassment. King Yu had been in charge of the Ministry of Etiquette for ten years. Many of the officials here were from King Yu. It was really hard to say what the character of these people was, but he could not directly deal with these matters. If you expose it, you will completely offend King Yu.

So, he could only bite the bullet and said, "Maybe after gaining power, my heart is not so pure."

Emperor Liang didn't know anything. He had the Xuanjing Division under him to collect information. Of course he could guess something. He looked at King Yu with some displeasure and found that King Yu didn't dare to look at him. He knew something in his heart. .

He snorted coldly but said nothing more, and continued to ask, "In Aiqing's opinion, we should now consider how to defend ourselves from the invasion of Beiyan, Dayu and other countries. Have we missed this good opportunity?"

Liu Shoufu was very embarrassed. The fact was that this was indeed the case.

Just when he was in trouble, a voice suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the envoy from Nanchu wants to see you!"

Emperor Liang did not expect Nanchu to come so quickly. He was overjoyed. Could it be that Nanchu came to seek peace? In this case, he can ask for land to be ceded without having to fight. This is killing two birds with one stone.

So, he said with joy, "Xuan!"

The envoy from Nanchu came with a young official named Wang Jing. He was not tall or burly, but his back was straight. After greeting Emperor Liang politely, he handed over his credentials.

Emperor Liang happily asked Eunuch Gao to bring up the credentials, but after he read it, his face immediately darkened. He snorted coldly and asked, "What do you, Emperor of Nanchu, mean by this!"

Wang Jing looked at Emperor Liang with neither humility nor arrogance, and said, "Your Majesty Emperor Daliang, His Majesty the Emperor of Southern Chu sent envoys here to ask Daliang why he allowed Ning Guohou Xie Yu to send people to assassinate my Highness the Crown Prince of Nanchu. If Daliang does not give us a satisfactory answer from Nanchu, our army of 100,000 from Nanchu will soon cross the Yangtze River to seek justice for His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Emperor Liang really didn't know that someone had assassinated the prince of Nanchu. He didn't answer the envoy, but frowned and asked Xie Yudao, "Xie Qing, is what the envoy said true?"

Xie Yu did not expect that Nanchu would openly disclose the assassination to the public. He sent people to assassinate Yu Wenlin, but he did not assassinate the prince of Nanchu.

He didn't know that the Crown Prince of Nan Chu had been replaced, so he immediately said seriously, "Your Majesty, the minister did not assassinate the Crown Prince of Nan Chu!"

Wang Jing had been prepared for a long time and said with great disdain, "I have here the confessions of the seventy-nine assassins sent by Xie Yu to Nanchu Feiying Squadron, as well as the evidence that Xie Yu conspired with our deposed prince of Nanchu, and also Please take a look at it from Emperor Daliang!"

Emperor Liang was a little shocked when he heard that the assassins of the Flying Eagle Squad had conspired with the former prince of Nanchu. Xie Yu's hand was too long to reach you, which made him a little suspicious. He was afraid that this person was not trying to treason. As a king?

Thinking of this possibility, he asked Eunuch Gao to go down and bring up the evidence. After he looked at them one by one, he was a little shocked!

According to the confession of the Flying Eagle Squad, Xie Yu not only had the Flying Eagle Squad as his assassination manpower, but also had the Tianquan Villa as his tool for killing people. He also hid a lot of armor and weapons for the sake of the Flying Eagle Squad's combat effectiveness.

As for the matter of conspiring with the prince of Nanchu to murder Yu Wenlin and Xiao Jingrui, Emperor Liang didn't think it was a big deal, but the last one touched Emperor Liang's objection. He snorted coldly and said, "Emissary of Nanchu, you first Go down and wait, I, Daliang, will naturally give you an explanation!"

Wang Jing bowed and said solemnly, "Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of Daliang, for your understanding of Nan Chu's difficulties. Once this kind of assassination of the royal family begins, I, Nan Chu, can't guarantee anything!"

Wang Jing's words are very obvious. If Daliang doesn't give an explanation, even if he can't regain face on the battlefield in Nanchu, he will send assassins to kill the Daliang royal family. After all, it was Daliang who started it. Everyone comes and goes, and other countries don't. They will say that they are doing something wrong in Nanchu.

Of course Emperor Liang understood, but he remained silent. He just watched Wang Jing leave the hall silently. Then he looked at Liu Shoufu and asked, "Is there any news? What else happened in Nanchu?" ?”

Liu Shoufu was very embarrassed. He really didn't know. After all, the time was too short.

Eunuch Gao noticed Liu Shoufu's frustration and reminded him in a low voice, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Xia Dong to come and ask, isn't he currently investigating the affairs of Nanchu?"

Emperor Liang reacted and quickly announced Xia Dong.

After Xia Dong arrived, after listening to Eunuch Gao's story, she said very respectfully, "According to the news from the spy team, when the Yama Luodian assassinated Nan Chu officials, something seemed to have happened in Nan Chu's Kyoto Prince Sheng Mansion. , at midnight, the whole palace was suddenly brightly lit. Later, at dawn, King Sheng took his son Yuwenrui into the palace.

Soon, news spread in the Nanchu Palace. The former prince Yu Wenhao was abolished from house arrest, Yu Wenlin was named the new prince, and Yu Wenrui was made the emperor's grandson! " Emperor Liang was a little confused and didn't believe his ears. He asked doubtfully, "Yu Wenlin has a son? When did this happen? "

Xia Dong glanced at Emperor Liang, then at Xie Yu, and then continued, "Your Majesty, Yu Wenlin's son Yu Wenrui is Xiao Jingrui of Ning Guohou Mansion."

Emperor Liang opened his mouth wide. He never expected that Nanchu would dare to play such a trick and let Xiao Jingrui, who has the blood of Daliang, be the emperor's grandson. What does this mean?

Win the hearts of the Daliang royal family?

However, in an instant, he looked at Xie Yu angrily and asked angrily, "Xie Yu, what else do you have to say!"

Xie Yu knew that he would still survive if he refused to admit it, so he gritted his teeth and insisted, "Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

Emperor Liang was not willing to open the door to the assassination of the royal families of the two countries, so he would not go out from the palace in the future. He snorted coldly and said, "Whether it is unfair or not, we will wait until it is investigated. Meng Zhi, how are your injuries?" Got it!"

Although Meng Zhi received twenty military sticks, the executioners were all veterans. He looked very miserable, but no bones or muscles were injured. When he saw that Emperor Liang wanted to search Xie Yu, he quickly said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The injury doesn’t matter.”

Emperor Liang took one look at the reaction of the people below, and then snorted coldly and said, "In that case, King Yu, you will accompany Meng Zhi to the Ningguo Hou Mansion for random inspections. Remember, you must not disturb your aunt Liyang's purity!"

King Yu didn't expect that he could go. He had long been dissatisfied with Xie Yu, who was on both ends of the spectrum. He knew in his heart that Emperor Liang was also dissatisfied with Xie Yu, who had taken refuge with the prince, so he quickly said, "Father, don't worry, son." I will personally accompany Aunt Liyang, and I will not let anyone disturb my aunt."

Emperor Liang could see King Yu's little thoughts at a glance, but he didn't pay attention. Instead, he looked coldly at the prince's party who wanted to stand out.

Everyone in the prince's party felt cold all over, and they quickly took back their steps as if they had been burned.

……

In fact, Xie Yu's matter was more serious than imagined. Meng Zhi took the evidence of the Flying Eagle Squad and easily found the training camp of the Flying Eagle Squad outside Jinling City. Thousands of armors, countless strong bows and crossbows.

After the Zhuo Dingfeng family in the mansion was arrested, Zhuo Dingfeng understood one thing completely after hearing that Xiao Jingrui was assassinated by the Flying Eagle Squadron and later became the grandson of the Southern Chu Emperor.

That is, Princess Liyang and Xie Yu probably knew that Xiao Jingrui was not his son for a long time, but they deliberately did not tell them in order to let them do things honestly in Tianquan Villa.

Of course Mrs. Zhuo understood, so she looked at Princess Liyang and asked, "Did you already know that Xiao Jingrui was not my son? Did you do this on purpose just to keep your son?"

Faced with Mrs. Zhuo's question, Princess Liyang did not deny it, nor did she answer it. Instead, she looked at King Yu and begged, "What Xie Yu did has nothing to do with the Zhuo family. They were just being used. Please, please Let the Zhuo family go."

King Yu did not force it, but said seriously, "Aunt, if Zhuo Dingfeng is willing to identify Xie Yu, I can plead with Your Majesty."

Princess Liyang then looked at Mrs. Zhuo and said guiltily, "There is only so much I can do for the Zhuo family. Your husband needs to choose the rest."

The reason why she only told Mrs. Zhuo and not Zhuo Dingfeng was because Zhuo Dingfeng and Xie Yu had killed countless innocent people over the years, so she probably had doubts about Xiao Jingrui's identity. But having been working for Xie Yu for so many years, I am afraid he is also an ambitious person. It is useless to talk to such a person.

Zhuo Dingfeng met his wife's gaze, pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "As long as the safety of my wife and children can be guaranteed, Zhuo is willing to bear witness!"

King Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly arranged for people to bring the Zhuo family members over and put them under the eyes of Princess Liyang, and then began a thorough investigation.

With Zhuo Dingfeng's cooperation, several leaders of Xie Yu's Flying Eagle Squad quickly confessed, allowing King Yu to obtain the list of Xie Yu's executions, and began to arrange for people to confirm them one by one.

However, the confirmation matters should be handled by the people below. King Yu quickly took the new evidence to the palace.

After Emperor Liang saw these evidences, in order to give Nanchu an explanation, he not only ordered the death of Xie Yu, but also sent an envoy to send Princess Liyang there. He said that he was not willing to watch the separation of Liyang mother and son, and was prepared to do so. Complete Yu Wenlin and Li Yang.

He seemed to be doing this for the sake of peace between the two countries, but in fact it was to take revenge on the Emperor of Nanchu. This was to clearly tell the Emperor of Nanchu that your throne will still be passed on to the descendants of my Daliang bloodline in the future.

The Nanchu court may never have peace!
