Chapter 15 King Liang's Poison

Suiyang, with a high city and a large city, is one of the largest cities in the Han Dynasty at that time. Apart from Chang'an, there are very few that can be compared with it. This is the capital of King Liang.

King Liang Liu Wu is the younger brother of the current emperor, Emperor Jing, and the youngest son of Empress Dowager Dou. He is very fond of Empress Dowager Dou and is the savage of Empress Dowager Dou and is extremely pampered.

The reason why Suiyang is extremely magnificent is not that the city has a large population and merchants gather, but because the palace of King Liang is magnificent. In the entire Suiyang City, King Liang's palace accounts for two-thirds, which lasts dozens of miles, and is adjacent to the palaces. I don't know how many of them are.

The core of the palace is not a group of palaces, but a land of islands. There are various cranes and countless ducks that are raised here, allowing them to enjoy the lake covering an area of ​​several miles, and are called "Hezhou Fuzhu".

Standing in the island bank, looking around, there are countless ducks, thousands of cranes fluttering, thousands of cranes dancing, the clear and clear cranes ringing in their ears, like the sound of nature. The blue waves are rippling, the island bank is connected, the water plants and reeds are endless, and the fish play among the lotus leaves, bursts of waves are emerging, and the real world is a fairyland!

A huge tower ship was parked on the bank of the shore. This ship was decorated with a sandalwood shipbuilding room with extremely luxurious layouts, with jade from Kunshan, pearls as lamps, and white jade as steps. If you were in it at night, it would be like looking up at the stars in the sky.

Four people sat on the deck, each wearing luxurious clothes and holding a fishing rod in his hands, and were fishing.

The person in the center was the tallest, wearing a royal robe, a crown, thick eyebrows, and a wide sword. His eyes were as bright as the stars at night, with divine lights everywhere. He had a square face, a tiger's mouth and a wide mouth, and was extremely majestic.

He is Liu Wu, King Liang.

King Liang's hand had a golden fishing rod, with golden wire as a thread, hanging into the lake. He leaned his back on the throne made of gold, watching the movements and enjoying the beautiful scenery while watching the scenery in the lake.

"General Gongsun, is there any news in Chang'an recently?" King Liang's tiger's mouth opened, with the power of swallowing mountains and seas, which makes people feel thirsty.

General Gongsun’s surname is Gongsun and his name is Gui. He was the guest of Liang. He was named Lieutenant by King Liang and named General Gongsun. He was the man who was fishing on the left hand of King Liang.

"Return to the king, there have been two recent news in Chang'an. One is that Prime Minister Zhou Yafu was ordered to celebrate his mother's birthday, and the other is that Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying had a falling out." Gongsun Gui's voice was a little cold, like ice water, always with a hint of cold air.

King Liang said hatefully: "Dou Ying, the old man, Gu's hatred for him is still above Zhou Yafu's cracked mouth! If it weren't for him, Gu would have been the crown prince." King Liang hated Zhou Yafu, because Zhou Yafu's mouth had texture, so he gave him the nickname "cracked mouth".

This words involve a palace secret. In the past, Emperor Jing and King Liang drank, and said in front of him, "The third brother, the throne will be passed to you in a hundred years." King Liang was always thinking about the battle for the throne. When he heard this, he was so happy that he could not help but fainted from surprise.

Dou Ying happened to be present and reminded Emperor Jing on the grounds that Emperor Jing was drunk because he was drunk. Emperor Jing woke up and changed his words and said that this was a drunken word. He could not be taken seriously and evaded the matter.

This incident not only made King Liang hate Dou Ying, but even Empress Dowager Dou hates Dou Ying, her nephew. She had long wanted to get married and lost a great opportunity. How could she not be upset? In anger, she drove Dou Ying out of the Dou family's clan.

"Over the years, Dou Ying, the old man and the thief have helped each other and hugged each other, but the orphan had no chance. Now, they are in a quarrel, and they are just giving orphan a chance. Let's take revenge and punish them hard!" King Liang was very happy, his eyes became even hotter.

"The king is wise! The opportunity cannot be lost, and if you lose it, you will never stop. If you don't take action at this time, then when will you wait!" The second man on the left of King Liang flattered him. This man was named Yang Sheng, and he was the guest of King Liang and was deeply trusted by King Liang.

The three of them were so happy that they could not resist, so the man on the right sat quietly, just fishing, without any reaction. King Liang looked at him and asked, "Han Neishi, why don't you say anything?"

This person's surname is Han, his name is Anguo, and he is the inner historian of Liang. This person is extremely smart and resourceful, and is deeply trusted by King Liang. Especially when he quelled the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, he made many strange plans. The great military achievements of King Liang were beyond Zhou Yafu, and were mostly thanks to Han Anguo.

"The reason why I don't say that is to wait for the king to wake up. The king only cares about venting his anger. This is just a matter of a common man. There is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of me. The king is not good at making good use of it and is so unwise to compete with Dou Ying for the aura of a common man?" Han Anguo was deeply trusted by King Liang, and only he dared to speak to King Liang in this tone. Even Gongsun Gui and Yang Sheng could not.

Gongsun Guisu was jealous of Han Anguo and sneered: "If you don't say it, we also know that this is an opportunity. Dou Ying and Zhou Yafu have a falling out. Isn't this a good opportunity?"

Yang Sheng was also jealous of Han Anguo and agreed: "Yes! King, such a good opportunity must be seized."

"You dare to misunderstand the king!" Han Anguo's tone was a little stern and he reprimanded: "If the king wants to accomplish great things, he cannot fight for a moment, but should plan for the long term. Whether Wei Qihou reconciles or falls in trouble, what's the point! The emperor issued an order to ask the prime minister to celebrate his mother's birthday. Did the king not see the mystery?"

King Liang tightened the golden fishing rod in his hand: "Oh! Inner History, finish your words."

Han Anguo put the fishing rod on: "Can you know what the emperor's intention is? In my opinion, the emperor is trying to seize Zhou Yafu's prime minister's power. Although there are many ministers in the court, only the prime minister can compete with the king, and the rest are all inferior to the strength. When will the king not take action at this time?"

"Mr. Inner Shi, not long ago, the emperor gave the military power to Zhou Yafu, and now he wants Zhou Yafu to celebrate his mother's birthday. Such kindness has not been seen since the founding of the Han Dynasty. Even founding heroes such as Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Chen Ping are just like this. How come the emperor wants to stop his prime minister's power?" Gongsun Gui retorted coldly.

King Liang waved his hand: "General Gongsun, don't be anxious, Rong Han's Neishi finished speaking."

Han Anguo stood up and analyzed: "Has the king seen a butcher slaughtering pigs? If he wanted to slaughter pigs, he had to feed the pigs first before he could do it. Zhou Yafu made great contributions to the court, quelling the rebellion of the seven kingdoms, and was unparalleled in the court. However, a few days ago, he issued an order on the matter of Wang Xiangfenghou, which was contrary to the holy intention, and the emperor was determined to dismiss his prime minister's power. He had originally intended to use the murder case of his son Zhou Yangren, but he did not expect that Zhou Yang would strive to solve this case, so that the emperor had to seek other good ideas."

King Liang snorted: "This Zhou Yang, a young man who is having fun, has become a good dealer in a blink of an eye, making Gu's plan fail."

"What's the point of showing off one's wisdom!" Han Anguo didn't take Zhou Yang seriously at all: "In my opinion, the emperor has another intention to do this, which is to fight against Zhou Yafu, and the emperor uses it both sides to get rid of the king and Zhou Yafu in one fell swoop."

King Liang raised his head: "The emperor wants me to fight, but he wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but I will not fight, so he will fail."

"No! The king not only wants to fight, but also has to fight hard. This is the king's opportunity!" Han Anguo flatly rejected King Liang's idea: "The Prime Minister's mother celebrates her birthday, and it must be He Keying's family, the king..." His mouth attached to King Liang's ear and whispered for a while.

"Haha!" King Liang laughed and praised: "Han Neishi is good at planning! When quelling the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, you have many strategies. Now the wonderful strategy is far above the strategy of pacifying Wu and Chu!"

"Thank you for your praise!" Han Anguo bowed and bowed.

"Inner Historian, although your plan is wonderful, it is not perfect. I will write it again by hand, so that Zhou Yafu can't argue!" King Liang put the golden fishing rod and stood up and said, "Come on, grind ink and spread silk. I will write a book for the Prime Minister with his own hands!"

Immediately, a maid grind ink and spread silk on it. King Liang held the pen in his hand, pondered for a moment, and wrote on the silk. As he was writing, he seemed unsatisfied and applied it on the silk. Then he picked up the pen and wrote it again and again. When he put down his pen, Yang Sheng and Gongsun Gui looked confused.

"The king is so strategic!" Han Anguo gave a thumbs up and praised.

"King, the fish is on the bait!" Yang Sheng hurriedly reminded.

King Liang grabbed the golden fishing rod and pulled it hard. The carp, more than a foot long, jumped around happily, causing splashes of water.

"Good omen! Haha!" King Liang laughed happily, his laughter was like thunder, and it was thundering away.

After a smile, the carp broke free from the hook and fell into the lake with a loud bang. A piece of golden croaker tail kept swinging on the lake. It was so happy!
