Chapter 535 Sending General Qiao to War
Emperor Kaiyuan was so angry that he fainted.
"His Majesty!"
Cao Sipei's heart trembled, and he stepped forward with a cry of surprise.
The news of Emperor Kaiyuan's illness quickly spread among officials.
Liang family, study.
"Dad, how is His Majesty's health?" Liang Zongwen asked tentatively.
Liang Zhongling said with a serious expression, "Your Majesty's health is not something you or I can inquire about. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!"
Liang Zongwen curled his lips. Ever since his father came back from the south, his temper and personality seemed to have changed.
Isn't rebellion what you advocate?
It’s a joke that you can’t even ask about His Majesty’s health!
"Okay, go down now. Your father still has things to do." Liang Zhongling began to drive people away.
Liang Zongwen hesitated for a moment and asked again, "How are Dad's preparations for that matter?"
He had to test the waters, and if the heir was to be changed, he would never allow it.
Liang Zhongling seemed to know what he was thinking, and his tone suddenly softened: "Don't worry, what's yours, Dad will never give it to anyone else, and he won't be confused about this matter!"
Liang Zongwen felt relieved and left.
But he didn't notice his father's gradually cold eyes behind him.
Liang Zhongling clenched his fists, thinking about the days he spent in the south. What a deep father-son love, but they actually dared to send someone to assassinate him.
Do you really think he will still care about the relationship between father and son?
Liang Zhongling had doubts, but the person he sent was the boss's confidant.
After he came back, he did try to test the waters, but the boss was hesitant and finally decided that this person was of no use and expelled him from the Liang family.
Listen, do you think he is a fool?
The Liang family father and son became alienated, and even when summoned by Emperor Kaiyuan, they left the mansion in batches.
Liang Zongwen was completely confused and felt puzzled.
But not long after arriving in the deep palace, he received a piece of news.
His father and Pei Shangling were entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty to take charge of the government.
Liang Zongwen was overjoyed.
That night, he advised his father that this was a great opportunity to control the capital and should not be missed.
Liang Zhongling waved his hand: "Your father knows better than you, get out!"
Liang Zongwen frowned in confusion. "Dad, what's wrong with you? You've been treating me terribly since returning to the capital. What did I do to upset you? Just tell me and I'll change."
Hearing this, Liang Zhongling stared at him intently and sneered coldly: "You want to change? You dare to kill your father, what else can you not do!"
"Dad!" Liang Zongwen's eyes widened in horror. "How can you say that? I've never done anything like this. You can't frame me!"
Liang Zhongling said coldly, "Whether you did it or not, you know it better than I do. For the sake of all these years, I will not pursue the matter any further. However, the eldest wife must move out of the Liang Mansion within three days!"
"Dad!" Liang Zongwen shouted, "There must be a misunderstanding. Someone must have deliberately framed me. Is it someone named Feng..."
"Shut up!" Liang Zhongling said impatiently, "Get out!"
Liang Zongwen wanted to ask for clarification, but was taken away by the guards of the Liang Mansion. No matter how he explained, Liang Zhongling was too lazy to listen.
Three days later.
Liang Zongwen's family was directly forced to separate from the Liang Mansion.
The new residence was a house far away from the imperial city. It was not small in size, but it was far away from the center of the imperial city, which made Liang Zongwen extremely angry.
Especially when he went to court every day, people around him would ask him the reason.
This also made Liang Zongwen hate his father. After all, it must be to pave the way for that kid!
Well, in that case, I won’t let you have your wish.
…
Another court meeting.
Emperor Kaiyuan still hadn't woken up, but with Liang Zhongling and Pei Shangling present, the controversial topic today was who to send to support General Yu Guangping.
Pei Shangling and his faction advocated that General Qiao go into battle.
Liang Zhongling directly expressed his opposition.
"Master Pei, do you think there aren't enough people in our dynasty who have defected to the Luo family? You actually dare to send General Qiao to fight!"
Pei Shangling was speechless, but quickly said, "General Qiao is a brave warrior who defeated the Kingdom of Yue and understands the Luo Army. He is the perfect choice. Or does Lord Liang have a more suitable candidate?"
Liang Zhongling certainly had no candidate, but he absolutely did not agree to let General Qiao go to the battlefield.
unless--
He asked suspiciously, "Could it be that Pei Shangling still has connections with the Luo family?"
Or maybe he is secretly supporting the other party, so he wants to send General Qiao over?
"What nonsense!"
Pei Shangling scolded angrily.
Liang Zhongling said calmly, "In that case, then General Qiao..."
General Qiao, who was being discussed by the two men, looked up at the sky and down at the ground, as if he was distracted, and didn't care about the scrutiny of other officials.
Just as everyone was discussing this matter intensely, Cao Sipei sent someone over: "Master Liang, Master Pei, His Majesty has awakened. Please come over, Masters."
Pei Liang and the other man looked at each other, ignored each other, and walked directly to the emperor's bedroom, one in front and the other behind.
The remaining officials looked at each other.
Well, everyone waits, but His Majesty has finally woken up. This time, I must persuade His Majesty to choose a concubine as soon as possible to continue the lineage for Nanxia.
The bedroom of Emperor Kaiyuan.
Pei Liang and the other man walked in together and saluted respectfully, but the emperor was reluctant to ask them to stand up, which made them confused.
Boom——
Emperor Kaiyuan pounded the bed with his fists.
The two of them were so shocked that their hearts were pounding.
"Ahem..." Emperor Kaiyuan's eyes were bloodshot. "My two beloved ministers, take a look at the latest news from Yuzhou."
Pei Shangling was closer and was the first to be killed. After a while, his eyes were blank.
Liang Zhongling snatched it away, and when he saw the news that the Luo family had found a way to cross the Yellow River, the letter immediately fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, we cannot let the Luo family cross the Yellow River!"
The Yellow River is the last line of defense for Guanzhong. Once the Luo family army crosses the Yellow River and enters the capital, Southern Xia will be finished!
"Do I need you to remind me?"
Emperor Kaiyuan angrily shouted, "Do you have a good idea? You must stop the Luo family army in the Yellow River. Of course, if you can destroy the bridge across the river, that would be the best strategy!"
Pei Shangling brought up the old matter again and wanted General Qiao to go to war against the Luo family. If he was worried about General Qiao's rebellion, he could just leave the Qiao family in the capital.
Liang Zhongling remained silent this time.
Because he also knew that apart from General Qiao, there was really no other suitable candidate.
Choosing General Qiao now is completely a choice without any other options.
