Chapter 372. Chapter 372.

The sudden change of Liang Kingdom's royal family quickly spread.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is Situ Xie's plot to usurp power.It seems that only one Situ Han has died now, but his sons will not end well.The first one to be used for surgery was Situ Jing.

On the other hand, it was reasonable and reasonable for Situ Xie to issue such a death order to his nominal nephew Situ Jing, because Situ Jing had already betrayed the Liang Kingdom, changed his name to Qiu Jing, and became the chief general of the Northern Defense Army in the Qian Kingdom.Who can tolerate treason?

When the news entered the Qian Kingdom, Xuanbei City was the first to arrive.

When Qiu Cong found out, he had just bought a roast chicken from outside, and took out a jar of fine wine sent by Su Liang during the Mid-Autumn Festival, planning to have a few glasses with Qiu Jing, his grandfather and grandson.

Hearing the spies rushing over, saying that there was news from Liangguo, Qiu Cong tore off a big chicken leg, and snorted coldly, "News from Liangguo? Did you call? Or was Situ Han killed by lightning?"

Qiu Jing knew that Qiu Cong hated Situ Han the most, so it was completely normal for him to say such things.

The spy quickly talked about the changes in the royal family of Liang Kingdom, Qiu Jing stared, and Qiu Cong stopped halfway through eating the chicken legs.

"A tiger's poison doesn't eat its offspring. Situ Xie actually killed Situ Han for the sake of the throne?" Although Qiu Cong hoped that Situ Han would die badly, he never expected such an outcome.

The spies then talked about something directly related to them, "The Emperor Liang offered a reward of 10 taels of gold for General Qiu's head."

Qiu Jing's face became more and more calm.If Situ Xie can even get rid of Situ Han, it means that after two years of successive failures in his plans, he has completely stopped pretending and revealed his true face of cruelty and ruthlessness. The one who rubbed his face hard on the ground?

Qiu Cong burst into rage in an instant, "I know that bastard Situ Xie! 10 taels of gold? Well, let me see who has the guts to come and kill my grandson! My hands have been itching for a long time!"

The last sentence is the truth.The main reason why Qiu Cong had to follow Qiu Jing to Xuanbei City and stay here with him was to fear that he would be assassinated by the royal family of Liang Kingdom.I waited and waited until I saw no action from the royal family of Liang Kingdom, Qiu Jing said that it was not the time, and sure enough, the time has come now!
"Grandpa, hurry up and eat the meat, it'll be cold in a while." Qiu Jing pulled Qiu Cong to sit back, then told the spies to rest, and then called someone over.

Soon, the urgent news of eight hundred miles departed from Xuanbei City and rushed to the capital.

After finishing all this, Qiu Jing picked up the wine that Qiu Cong poured for him, and drank it all in one gulp, "This wine is not bad."

"The gift from Xiaoliang is of course the best." Qiu Cong frowned and looked at Qiu Jing, "I will live with you in the next room, and you are not allowed to leave my sight."

"This... I don't mind, but if there is a reward of 10 taels of gold, I'm afraid even some old guys who can't live in the world will be moved." Qiu Jing was calm on the face, but he knew in his heart that he was at great risk now. This trouble is not easy to solve.He asked Duanmuchen for instructions in the brochure. If something happened to him, who would take charge of the overall situation in Xuanbei City and let Duanmuchen settle it as soon as possible.

Qiu Cong used to be an old guy who was hidden from the world, and he snorted softly when he heard this, "Let them let the horses come over!"

"It shouldn't be so fast." Qiu Jing sighed slightly, and then suddenly smiled, "It's okay, with grandpa's protection, I just take this opportunity to practice my skills, otherwise it will always be difficult to improve. Next time we meet, I will have to talk to Gu Ling One more fight."

"That's right. We did it. We will bear the consequences. What are you afraid of? Situ Xie is your biggest enemy. Now that he is the emperor, he just wants to turn his hand into clouds and rain. It's a dream! "Qiu Cong's eyes were cold, "Eat the chicken legs, let's practice again!"

……

The capital of Qianguo.

Rumors from Liang Country have not yet reached the capital, but urgent news from Xuanbei City has arrived.

Su Liang and Gu Ling were invited into the palace by Chang'an. When they saw Duanmu Chen, he had a fair face and shared the news he had just received with them.

"He finally stopped pretending." Su Liang was only slightly surprised.Situ Xie would come to this point sooner or later, because there was only one dragon chair, and he couldn't control the situation if he let others sit on it.And Situ Xie has absolute strength and influence in Liang country, even if Situ Han has been emperor for many years, he is still a puppet in essence.

Situ Xie is not the emperor, but he refuses to give up his supreme power. This only shows that he is an egomaniac and control freak in his bones.He is too conceited and has a strong desire to control, thinking that even if he doesn't sit in the dragon chair, he can control everything.It used to be like this, but in the past two years, many things have exceeded his expectations, and his plan has not worked.

In short, before the usurpation of the throne, Situ Xie was both standing and standing.Want power, but don't want to bear the infamy of seeking power and usurping the throne.

"Situ Xie's superior position is no different from Situ Han's. Perhaps the royal family of Liang Kingdom will be tougher in the future." Duanmu Chen originally regarded Situ Xie and Situ Han as one.It's just that their "uncles and nephews" coexisted originally, and the state of intrigue was more in line with the interests of Qianguo.The situation has changed now, but it is not at all to the extent that Duanmu Chen is afraid.

"It's just," Duanmuchen continued, "the top priority is to resolve Situ Xie's reward order for Qiu Jing."

It is time for Qian Guo to employ people, and Qiu Jing is the best general among Qian Guo's generals. If something happens to him, it will be a great loss to Qian Guo, and it will also affect the morale of the army.Risking the risk of betraying Liang to serve Qian, as the leader of the northern army, if Liang took his head, Qian would lose face.

Su Liang said in a low tone, "Send Situ Yao back to Liang Kingdom as a condition, so that Situ Xie can cancel the reward order for Qiu Jing?" Assassination is different from offering a reward.The assassination can only be done by Situ Xie's people, and the huge bounty offered will attract experts from all walks of life, and the latter are even more uncontrollable.

Duanmu Chen's face darkened when he heard the words, "Su Liang, don't tell me that you are serious! Situ Yao is my woman, isn't this the same as asking me to sell my woman?"

Su Liang coughed lightly, "Your Majesty calm down, I'm just proposing a possibility."

"She's pregnant." Duanmu Chen snorted coldly.

Su Liang was surprised, "Then congratulations to the emperor and Concubine Liang."

"Tell me something feasible!" In fact, Duanmu Chen was not really angry. At this moment, he even felt that his reaction just now seemed a little too extreme. Will Su Liang and Gu Ling think that he regards Situ Yao as very important?

"It's actually simple." Su Liang said, "It's about offering a reward. For money matters, just use money to solve it. Since the new emperor of Liang Kingdom is so determined, let's give a big gift in return. Our Qianguo offers a reward of one hundred thousand and one taels Gold, the head of Situ Xie's eldest grandson, Situ Jing."

Duanmu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "What's the reason?"

"As for spending money, we are happy, what reason do you want?" Su Liang snorted, "Just tell Situ Xie that Qiu Jing is from our country, and he can't move if he wants. He wants Qiu Jing to die. , let his precious grandson be buried with him. I don't want Situ Jing's safety to be threatened, so I quickly withdraw the reward order!"

Use his own way to treat his own body.As for Situ Xie who wants to say that Qiu Jing is a traitor to the country of Liang, and wants Qian Guo to be handed over to the country of Liang, then he has to explain why Qiu Jing grew up in Xuanbei City. The source of the matter is that Situ Xie kept Qiu Jing a secret. If it is sent to Qianguo for detailed work, this account can also be settled.

Duanmu Chen felt that this method was very good, "The national treasury is tight, and you two rich men are offering a bounty?"

Su Liang smiled and shook his head, "It's not that we can't afford it, but if it spreads out, the emperor might lose face."

Duanmu Chen was also joking, because there is a high probability that he will not need to pay in the end, but just express an attitude.

When Su Liang and Gu Ling left the palace, the Qian Kingdom's reward order was officially announced: for the head of Liang Kingdom's grandson Situ Jing, a reward of one hundred thousand and one taels of gold was offered.

This fraction is very interesting, it is obviously for Situ Xie to see.

But if you want to put on a show, Situ Xie really dares to bet that it is his grandson who is in danger.Because the masters who want to offer a reward don't care about the twists and turns, as long as they believe that the reward order issued by the royal family will not deny it for the sake of face, they may complete the task of offering a reward.

……

At nightfall, Duanmuchen went to the Empress Dowager Xiao, and saw that Empress Xing Yuyan and Concubine Liang Situyao were there.

They were all pregnant, Xiao naturally hoped that they would be kind, and the most important thing was to give birth to the child safely.

Xing Yuyan intentionally showed her high status in front of Situ Yao, and Duanmuchen didn't refuse her approach, but secretly observed Situ Yao's expression.

Situ Yao was very grand and gentle as always, but occasionally she closed her eyes, showing a little bit of disappointment.

Duanmuchen didn't notice it himself, but he was a little happy to see that Situ Yao seemed jealous.

After dinner, Xiao asked Duanmuchen to send Xing Yuyan home first.

Duanmuchen stood up, Xing Yuyan couldn't hide her smile, but she heard Duanmuchen say, "I will send the queen back, and I will go to Yao'er."

Situ Yao's eyes lit up, and Duanmu Chen didn't care about Xing Yuyan's face changing in an instant, and walked out on his own.

Seeing this, Xiao couldn't help frowning.Bystanders can tell, she recently felt that Duanmu Chen was really different from Situ Yao, not like what he said at the beginning was just to test.

Duanmuchen didn't talk to Xing Yuyan along the way, he was only thinking about whether to tell Situ Yao the news he got today.It is impossible to hide such a big matter.

Sending Xing Yuyan back, Duanmuchen turned around and left without taking a seat.

Xing Yuyan was so angry that she repeatedly called Situ Yao a fox, and cried again.

When Duanmuchen arrived at Situ Yao's Palace, she had already changed into a whole set of clothes and was waiting for supper.

After talking, Situ Yao was as considerate as ever, "The emperor seems to have something on his mind?"

Duanmu Chen sighed, "There is indeed something, I think I should tell you."

Situ Yao nodded, "Please speak, Your Majesty."

"It's the news that just came from the north today." Duanmuchen told Situ Yao about the changes in the royal family of Liang Kingdom.

At first, Situ Yao looked surprised, and then showed sadness, "Uncle Huang has always loved his concubines very much."

Looking at Situ Yao's sad look, Duanmu Chen felt a little fake.Didn't she really know that Situ Han was killed by Situ Xie?Is this innocence, or a faux pas?

But Duanmu Chen didn't care much about this.He likes smart people, Situ Yao's current behavior is very normal, she can't be happy to say that her grandfather finally became the emperor.

Duanmuchen held Situ Yao's hand, "I am also shocked that this happened. But, there is one more thing. After your grandfather ascended the throne, he issued a reward order, 10 taels of gold, for Qiu Jing's head."

Situ Yao was stunned for a moment, "This... Grandpa's move is helpless, that General Qiu was originally the most valued by his grandfather. As the prince of Liang, he betrayed Liang. Let me explain to the common people. I believe that my grandfather's move is only aimed at Qiu Jing alone, and it definitely does not mean to turn against Qian Guo."

Duanmu Chen's face paled a little, "Then what do you think I should do?"

Situ Yao sighed, "The concubine just thinks that General Qiu is capricious and not trustworthy. The emperor has entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, so don't let him mess things up."

"Because he once ruined your grandfather's affairs, otherwise you wouldn't have married?" Situ Yao was startled by Duanmu Chen's sudden change of expression, and his face turned pale instantly.

"Your Majesty, the concubine never meant that. After all, the concubine grew up in Liangguo, and she just married not long ago. She can't forget her relatives. If she said something wrong, I beg the emperor to forgive me." Situ Yao got up and knelt down. His face was pale from the fright, only his eyes were red, I really feel sorry for him.

"Qiu Jing is your grandfather's secret arrangement to deal with Qianguo. I haven't settled this account with him yet. Now he is offering a reward to kill the general of the Northern Army of Qianguo. You actually tell me not to do anything? Let your grandfather take care of you." Someone killed?" Duanmu Chen looked at Situ Yao disappointedly, "Actually, there is a way to resolve the conflict. If you care so much about your natal family, I will send you back and ask your grandfather to cancel the reward order. Do you think he will agree? "

Situ Yao's expression froze, "The concubine is pregnant with the emperor's child..."

Duanmu Chen snorted, "So if you're not pregnant, do you really want to go back?"

Situ Yao grabbed Duanmu Chen's clothes, "The concubine really didn't mean that, the emperor misunderstood..."

Duanmuchen remained expressionless, "Actually, what I really want to tell you when I come here tonight is that I have already issued the same reward order during the day for your elder brother's head. The reward is one or two more than what your grandfather gave you."

When Situ Yao heard the words, she was stunned at first, and then kowtowed to beg Duanmu Chen to take back her life, "The concubine knew that my grandfather was at fault first. But that is the concubine's eldest brother. If the emperor has any sympathy for the concubine, please don't do that. "

"I have more than half sympathy for you, but now it seems that you are not worth it." Duanmu Chen shook off Situ Yao, turned and strode away.

Chang'an, who was waiting outside, saw Duanmuchen's sullen face. He didn't know what happened, and he didn't dare to ask. He just followed silently and went to the imperial garden.

There is a pavilion in the Imperial Garden, and Duanmu Chen always likes to sit in a certain place when he encounters troubles since he was a child, so as to calm himself down.

On the night when Ji Yueyan stabbed him with a hairpin, Su Liang and Gu Ling came to see Duanmuchen, and he was sitting here looking at the moon.

Seeing that Duanmuchen was going to his old place, Changan also stopped at his old place, so he could see Duanmuchen but not disturb him.

Duanmuchen sat down and looked up, only to see that there was no moon in the sky tonight, only a few scattered stars, and the starlight was much dimmer than in the past, just like Duanmuchen's mood at the moment.

At the moment when he was disappointed with Situ Yao, he realized that he really seemed to be attracted to this woman.Because Situ Yao suits him very well, being with her makes him feel very comfortable and relaxed.

But now Duanmuchen is awake.He has always wanted to test Situ Yao, and what happened tonight finally gave him the answer.

In the final analysis, what disappointed Duanmu Chen was not the fact that Situ Yao cared about her natal relatives.Because Duanmuchen would not like a cold-blooded and heartless woman.

The key point is that Duanmu Chen found that Situ Yao was stupid.

Born in the royal family, Situ Yao should know that feelings are extravagant.When she was sent to Qian Kingdom by her grandfather as a pawn in exchange for Situ Jing, and when Situ Jing said he loved her, and at the same time allowed her to marry into Qian Kingdom's harem, you should understand that she wants to live and work in peace in the future. She can only rely on Duanmu Chen, not those family members who don't really care about her.

She was originally a princess, but now Situ Yao is a real princess in Liangguo, but she is pregnant with Duanmuchen's child, but she still foolishly defends the royal family of Liangguo in front of Duanmuchen. She still hasn't figured out where It was her home for the rest of her life, which was ridiculous.

Situ Yao is very good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and empathy.But she is obviously Situ Xie's good granddaughter, and she still is, and she has shown that she wants to use her feelings to influence Duanmuchen's decision-making and help Situ Xie.Probably Duanmu Chen gave Situ Yao an illusion recently, making her really think that she is the most special one in this harem.

In fact, this may not have been an illusion, as long as she chose the right position.

It's a pity that Duanmu Chen was a little bit bewitched, and Situ Yao was also bewitched at the same time.

Duanmuchen didn't have such high demands on women, but he thought Situ Yao was smart.He likes smart people.

Looking at it now, even Ji Yueyan is much smarter than Situ Yao, at least she has seen the essence of the royal family clearly, and after leaving, she has no more nostalgia.The previous plan was actually not bad, but it was a pity that Su Liang was seen through, but she had a goal and courage to do it, even if it was dangerous, she was willing to fight for her love.

Duanmu Chen's request to Situ Yao is just to hope that she will be more sober and think for herself, instead of thinking about something for some unworthy people.

From this point of view, Xing Yuyan is also stupid, but at least she is innocent, and Duanmuchen can see through her mind at a glance.

Not to mention Su Liang, there is another very smart woman in Duanmu Chen's life, and that is his mother, Empress Dowager Xiao.While borrowing from her natal family, she avoided being controlled by her natal family. She always kept a clear mind and became the most lovable concubine by Duanmuyi's side, and also protected her son. Conflicts and disputes arose.

"Chang'an." Duanmuchen said suddenly.

Chang An immediately ran over, "What is the emperor's order?"

"I want to eat meat buns made by Su Liang." Duanmu Chen said.

Chang An was stunned for a moment, then said weakly, "It's too late now, Madam Gu is pregnant and must go to bed early. And now it's Gu Hou who cooks."

Duanmuchen nodded, "Gu Ling can do it too."

Chang'an: ... If he dares to ask Gu Ling to get up to steam steamed buns, the possibility of being beaten is very high, and he feels that he deserves it...

"This subordinate will go now..." Chang An said bravely.

But Duanmu Chen stood up and walked over, "What are you doing so late? I didn't say I'm going to eat now. Tomorrow I'm going to visit Su's residence in private to see my godson." By the way, chat with Su Liang His little annoyance, after all, was his best friend.
