Chapter 550 The Liang Family is Powerful
As if knowing what she was thinking, the little world spirit asked again: "Do you think there is anyone who can defeat me now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the high wall on the left suddenly collapsed with a loud bang!
Zhu Mingqing turned around, stunned.
Luo Tingshan in the woodshed thought there was an enemy and ran out immediately. He only breathed a sigh of relief after learning the true situation.
Forget it, I’m here anyway, I can’t run away.
"Qingqing, go back!"
Zhu Mingqing pointed at the inner courtyard wall and stammered, "I don't know why it suddenly collapsed. I was scared to death."
Seeing her patting her chest, Luo Tingshan thought she was really scared and immediately comforted her: "Don't be afraid, let's go home first!"
Zhu Mingqing nodded slightly, his shoulders were held back as he walked out, and he let out a light breath.
As for the steward who had been dyeing cloth on the other side of the wall, when he found that the lady had left, he finally removed the bricks from his head and let out a long sigh.
…
The death of Emperor Kaiyuan shocked everyone. Because there was no imperial decree, the court ministers had to discuss and then choose from among the clan members.
Because Liang Zhongling held the imperial decree from Emperor Kaiyuan, Pei Shangling had to temporarily avoid the limelight.
Finally, a three-year-old child was chosen.
"Master Pei, what should we do?" Marquis Weiyuan hadn't expected His Majesty's death to be so sudden. "That Liang wants to marry Feng Dansi, and he will definitely not let the Marquis's mansion go. Please give me some advice."
Pei Shangling did not react, but he kept stroking his beard, thinking about the letter he received today.
"Master Pei!" Marquis Weiyuan waved his hand in front of him. "This marquis is almost dying of anxiety. Now you and I are in the same boat. Liang Zhongling will definitely not let a single person of the Pei faction go."
Pei Shangling came back to his senses, his brows deep in thought: "My Lord, you said that the Luo family is now so powerful, why are they still staying at the border of Yuzhou and not entering the country?"
Weiyuan Hou said impatiently: "How would I know what the Luo family is thinking? How come at this time, you still have the mood to consider others?"
Pei Shangling shook his head: "No, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!"
Upon hearing this, Marquis Weiyuan seemed to be instantly enlightened and stood up abruptly: "Master Pei, please think carefully about our future path. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home, so I will leave first."
Looking at his back as he hurried away, Pei Shangling sighed helplessly.
…
The new emperor was young, and all government affairs were in the hands of Liang Zhongling.
With great power in hand, Liang Zhongling, at the age of 78, enjoyed a second spring in his career.
The first order issued was to prepare for peace talks with the Luo family.
He ordered his confidant Feng Qi to go to the border of Yuzhou and agree to any request made by the other party.
When Luo Tingshan heard the news, he shook his head and sighed at the man in front of him: "Look, this is Liang Zhongling, the man you entrusted with such an important task. He has such wicked ambitions. I'm afraid it won't be long before the world will be ruled by the Liang family!"
Emperor Kaiyuan lay weakly on the straw, his eyes filled with hatred. "If it weren't for you, Luo Tingshan, who took me out of the palace, how could the Liang family have monopolized power in the court? What's worse, your Luo family is not innocent either. You invaded the territory of Southern Xia, had me faked my death and abducted me from the palace. You have committed all kinds of evil. Aren't you afraid of going to hell and letting down our ancestors?"
Luo Tingshan suddenly laughed. "Calling you the Third Prince is still pleasant. Compared to your heinous crimes, how dare I bow? But seeing that you have no remorse now, I'm afraid you don't care about the lives of those 50,000 soldiers at all."
Emperor Kaiyuan rebuked him coldly, "The court supports them. Do you need me to teach you the principles of loyalty to the emperor? Moreover, dying for Nanxia is their honor!"
Luo Tingshan's expression instantly turned cold. He grabbed the man's neck, his eyes fierce. "Did they die for their country? They died for the selfishness of you and the Liang family! You oppressed loyal ministers and were incompetent and unjust. Nanxia is doomed to destruction because of a monarch like you!"
"You are talking nonsense!" Emperor Kaiyuan uttered these four words with great effort, and suddenly his neck was released and he started coughing continuously.
Luo Tingshan let out a cold smile. "Don't you want to be unable to give up that position until your death? Then I'll let you see how Nanxia was defeated by you and your trusted ministers."
Emperor Kaiyuan shouted loudly: "Luo Tingshan, you just don't dare to admit your ambition, you coward!"
Luo Tingshan laughed at himself, "Yeah, I just hate myself for waking up too late, otherwise those people wouldn't have died!"
After leaving the woodshed, he ordered, "Keep a good look at him. No one is allowed to visit him except me and my wife. As long as he doesn't starve to death, it's fine!"
Hearing that he would have to spend the rest of his life in this dilapidated woodshed, Emperor Kaiyuan shouted like crazy: "Come back, as long as you let me go back, I will give you whatever you want, Minister of State? Regent? Oh, and the heads of the Liang family..."
With a bang, the door closed.
In the dark room, only Emperor Kaiyuan was left.
He banged on the door vigorously, making a lot of noise, but no one paid any attention. When he got tired of shouting, he leaned against the door and muttered to himself, "Let me out! Kill the Liang family!"
…
Feng Qi, who was sent to the Luo family, returned, and Liang Zhongling couldn't wait to summon him.
"How is it? What did the Luo family say?"
Feng Qi's expression was filled with resentment. He clenched his fists and waved them with a fierce force. "Sir, do we really want to negotiate peace with the Luo family? I'm not afraid of death. Why don't you let me lead the troops and defeat them?"
Liang Zhongling's eyebrows flickered and he stared at him dimly.
Feng Qi's voice weakened as he asked weakly, "Sir, why do you look at me like that?"
Liang Zhongling chuckled and said, "Could it be that Lieutenant General Feng is also going to follow the example of Wang Qi and his ilk?"
Feng Qi's heart trembled, and he immediately knelt down: "I dare not!"
Cold sweat instantly broke out on his back. Fortunately, he was wearing thick armor, otherwise his clothes would be soaked, which would probably increase Liang Zhongling's suspicion.
"That's better!" Liang Zhongling warned coldly, "I will show no mercy to traitors. By the way, I heard that your child is ten years old now. It's a good opportunity for him to come to the palace to accompany Chun'er to study."
Feng Qi knelt on the ground and replied, "Yes, I am grateful for your kindness, sir. I will send the child to you soon."
Unexpectedly, before I even reached that position, I was already on guard against him.
Although I said I was studying, I actually wanted to know his movements at all times and hold him as a hostage.
Feng Qi put away his thoughts and told Liang Zhongling what he was most concerned about.
"During this visit to Yuzhou, I did meet the young master of the Luo family, but I didn't meet Luo Tingshan!"
Liang Zhongling frowned, "Luo Huai?"
The person Huan Yu had previously considered the most threatening has now proven to be exactly what he was.
If he had known this would happen, he should have eradicated the problem completely that day, instead of ending up hurting himself!
"Yes, that's him!" Feng Qi didn't dare to say that the first thing Luo Huai said when he saw him was, "Since you are acquainted with my father, if you really want to surrender, my Luo family will forgive you for what happened."
"That brat Luo Huai threw the letter of peace into the brazier without even opening it." He pretended to be angry. "That's really too much! You little brat! In my opinion, the Luo family is nothing more than that!"
But he was wondering in his heart, when did he meet Luo Tingshan and when did they meet?
I even knew that he had thought about surrendering.
It's really scary!
"Get out!" Liang Zhongling really didn't want to see him look so stupid, so he couldn't bear to chase him away.
Feng Qi looked reluctant, but in his heart he had been eager to step out of the room. It was his first time to deceive Liang Zhongling, and he felt uneasy.
After leaving the palace, Feng Qi felt depressed and couldn't even find anyone to talk to.
After thinking it over, he simply ordered the car to turn around and go to the courtyard where Brother Feng was.
