Chapter 203 Zhang Liang's plan is broken

The capital city, which had been closed for ten months, finally resumed its usual movement of people at the end of the month. The city gates were closed and opened at the established time. The lives of the people have not been greatly affected, so these changes have not attracted enough attention from people.

For the imperial city, there were some actions on this day, including Bai Shi. After being imprisoned in Qianyuan Palace for so many days, he finally regained his freedom. The commander of the imperial guard Chen Yuanzhen opened the palace gate and respectfully asked Bai Shi to leave. No matter what Bai Shi had in his heart, he was unable to compete with the imperial guard at this time.

"I offended many times these days, so please don't blame me!"

Chen Yuanzhen's tone was a sincere attitude. If it weren't for Bai Shi, but if it were someone else, he would have thought that Chen Yuanzhen was just forced. Faced with Chen Yuan Zhen's apology and attentiveness, Bai Shi did not say too much, but just nodded.

A carriage was parked at the side door of the palace, yes, it was the side door. Chen Yuanzhen's explanation was that the main door was too murderous, and the previous killing had already caused Emperor Liang to completely close the Qianyuan Palace, so the side door was also helpless.

"The emperor is worried that the spread of King Ling's rebellion will be detrimental to the war ahead. These days it is a grievance for the Master. The Emperor's dragon body has almost recovered and he can go to court again, so he immediately ordered the old slave to escort Master back to Qingshan Academy."

"Eunuch Chen is the commander of the imperial guards. It takes less than half a day to return to the academy from the capital. I really can't stand the gift from Eunuch Chen. I also ask Eunuch Chen to stay here, so I can feel more at ease when I go back."

"Where did the Master say? The Emperor ordered me to escort the Master, Master..."

"Eunuch Chen, I have another unhappy request. I hope to bring the body of my beloved disciple Chu Kuang back to the academy."

"The Master loves his disciples as much as his son, and I feel sorry for him. Since it was proposed by the Master, I should try my best to do it. However, the case of rebellion has not been completely closed. Some people need to further collect and sort out the evidence and corpses in the case at will, and the old slave..."

"Since Eunuch Chen is in a dilemma, then I will go to the emperor by myself!"

"Oh, Master!" Chen Yuanzhen hurriedly blocked Bai Shi's way, and after a little thought, he immediately changed his words: "Since Master is so persistent, I should do my best to help. However, it will take some time to remove the body from Dali Temple, and I'll ask Master to wait."

"I will go with my father-in-law!"

"That's good!"

The bodies of all the ministers who were killed in the rebellion case were placed in the corpse room that was temporarily opened in Dali Temple. Although the season was only early spring in April, in order to prevent the corpse from rotting, Emperor Liang specially ordered people to stock up on a large amount of ice in the corpse room. Therefore, when Chu Kuang's corpse was taken out, it still looked like before his death on the day of the celebration.

Looking at his beloved disciple, Bai Shi was filled with emotion. He reached out to touch Chu Kuang's cheek, which was already cold and stiff. Before he was sent to the carriage, Bai Shi took a last look at the wound on Chu Kuang's chest.

"I would like to thank Eunuch Chen for this."

"What did Master say? It is normal for human beings to bring his beloved disciple's body back to the academy. The emperor specifically told the old slave to compensate the Master heavily."

Chen Yuanzhen said as he slapped the carriage hard. Bai Shi was so smart that he immediately understood what the other party meant. Even if he resisted, the other party moved out of Emperor Liang. If he insisted on not following the order, he would resist the order. Bai Shi bowed deeply and turned back to the carriage, and the carriage was heading towards the city gate.

When Bai Shi successfully left the imperial city, King Xiang and Cai Xiang completed a one-day review of the letter and went to Qingzhi Palace to pay homage to Emperor Liang. Since Emperor Liang fainted last time, the imperial kitchen even sent the ingredients for nourishment to Emperor Liang in different ways. All of them were full of color, fragrance and taste, which made Qingzhi Palace full of fragrance and fragrance all day long, and the greedy palace people kept swallowing their saliva.

If it were someone else, it would have been a big deal, and it would have increased by three kilograms a day, but Emperor Liang's appetite was less than a day.

Concubine Du shook her head helplessly at the eighteen meals delivered by the imperial kitchen and said to Emperor Liang: "Your Majesty, the imperial kitchen today has been delivered. How much do you eat?"

"Although I feel empty in my stomach, I have no desire to eat." Emperor Liang, with the help of Concubine Du, forced himself to sit up and look at the delicious food in front of me, swallowed, "Which dish is made by the academy chef?"

Concubine Du pointed to the six of the snacks and said, "Your Majesty, have you seen those snacks that are all served on green bone porcelain plates? Those are made by the chefs of the academy. The imperial kitchen specially uses different plates to distinguish them. Do the emperor want to try them?"

"Just look round and golden in shape."

"yes!"

Concubine Du picked up a dessert like a dumpling and carefully delivered to Emperor Liang's mouth. When he watched Emperor Liang eat it, he introduced: "This is the latest dessert provided by the imperial kitchen today. It is said that it is a newly developed variety of cooks from the academy. It is full of glutinous rice on the outside, filled with Xianghuang powder, bean paste and pearl poria jelly. It is not only a dessert, but also a medicinal material."

"Well, I'm sorry." Emperor Liang chewed it for a long time and finally swallowed the balls. After eating, Emperor Liang took a few breaths, his face changed a little, just like how much effort it took to eat such a ball.

Concubine Du hurriedly filled a cup of tea and gave it to Emperor Liang. Emperor Liang continued to feel sleepy and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

Concubine Du turned to the palace and said to the imperial kitchen manager who had been guarding: "The emperor has tasted the meal you sent, but because the dragon body is not eating much, you can go back and report it."

"Yes, Empress, the slave takes his leave."

Seeing the manager leaving, Concubine Du ordered to the people around him: "The imperial kitchen has so much food, and the emperor can't finish it, it's a pity. You pack all the snacks for Qiluo Courtyard and send some to Zhanghan Palace."

As soon as the eunuchs prepared their snacks and came out from the side door, King Xiang had already entered the Qingzhi Palace through the main door.

"It's King Xiang who is coming down!"

"Imperial Concubine, I wonder if my father is doing well today?"

"The emperor went to bed after eating the snacks from the imperial kitchen. The palace was not at the right time. Why not please go back first. When the emperor wakes up, I will send someone to invite the emperor."

"Why dare to bother the Empress? Since we are here today, it is better to meet my father!"

King Xiang ignored Concubine Du's dissuasion and broke into the bedroom without caring about it. Seeing that Emperor Liang was indeed asleep peacefully.

"Your Highness!" Concubine Du said to King Xiang before the couch: "Your Highness is here to pay tribute. Such disturbances are not good for the emperor to rest. Does your highness even understand this? If it is spread, the ministers should think that your highness is inappropriate and have been entrusted by the emperor!"

"I am worried about Daliang every day. This kind of family and country is the heart of loyalty to the emperor and loving the father. After visiting the father, you will continue to return to the previous dynasty to review the memorials. Your behavior is no different from stopping the prince from visiting the emperor. Is this the palace asking the empress what he is thinking?"

"I am just a woman, for the sake of the Emperor's health. Your Highness should not speculate!"

"But don't forget, Empress, Empress has another son. King Yu is fighting on the front line. Empress should not want to distract her son, right? Empress does not allow this palace to visit her father, may it be that you mother and son want to have an affair with others and usurp power and seize the throne!"

"The more a person lacks, the more he will show what he will do. You can imagine that the one who really wants to usurp power and seize the throne!"

King Xiang's lips sneered, and stepped forward to approach Concubine Du, "Even if I am, what can you do to me? Not to mention your little Qingzhi Palace, even if the entire imperial city is under the control of my palace, if you don't want your baby son to die in the battlefield, just let it go! At least for now, I can guarantee the lives of my father, King Yu and you. If I delay my palace again, then I will be self-confessed!"

Concubine Du's body trembled slightly. She understood that King Xiang was right. She had already seen that King Xiang's tail was finally revealed. Fortunately, he had not yet shown his fangs. Concubine Du looked at Emperor Liang on the couch and turned around and left the bedroom helplessly.

King Xiang was too lazy to look at Concubine Du. He walked to Emperor Liang and reached out to wake Emperor Liang. Emperor Liang, who woke up from his sleep, could only open his eyes and see the person who came. He could not do anything else.

"Father, it's my son who is here to see you. Father, you have been in charge of Daliang for thirty years. Do you remember your son's age? You must not remember it! My son is already twenty-five years old this year and is already an older prince. Now you have even the grandson of the emperor, so you should be satisfied."

King Xiang ignored Emperor Liang's unwillingness and insisted on pulling out Emperor Liang's hand from the bed. While stroking it, he said warmly: "Father, you don't have much time in this world. The matter of establishing a crown prince should be put on the agenda. If you go there one day, wouldn't this Liang be in chaos? For the sake of family and national affairs, my son is determined to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the burden."

Emperor Liang widened his eyes and wanted to say something, but his throat could not make any sound. He could only wriggle with difficulty, making a whimpering sound in his mouth, and his whole face turned red.

"Father, you should rest. Erchen calculated that the fourth brother should come back tomorrow. Erchen will definitely let his father see a good show. Oh, by the way, Master Shirashi has sent someone to send him back to the academy. These literati are suitable for academic research, so let me leave the politics to Erchen to take care of!"
