Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 246: To a gentleman, to a villain

Wu Rou smiled slightly and said:

"My lord, it doesn't look like he's too hot, but rather he looks scared. Of course, he's not afraid of me, but of His Majesty."

Queen Wang frowned slightly, looked at Wu Rou, her disc-like face showed anger, and asked:

"When you specially selected my uncle to enter the palace today, why did you come to my place?"

Wu Rou imitated Li Shan's gentle look, raised her eyebrows, and the sharp corners of her eyes became rounder. She looked at Liu Shi and said slowly:

"Of course I'm here to see Mr. Liu, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see him normally."

Liu Shi had expected it. Hearing this, he lowered his eyes guiltily, raised them again, and asked cautiously:

"Yes... Your Majesty asked Wu Zhaoyi to come. Do you have something to say?"

"That's not true." Wu Rou replied very bachelorly, "It's just that I think the queen is kind to me after all, so I came to remind Mr. Liu that it's time to withdraw."

When Queen Wang heard this, she slapped the table beside her and said angrily:

"Wu Rou, don't push yourself too far and dare to point your fingers at us just because of His Majesty's favor?!"

Liu Shi was not angry, but asked honestly:

"I don't know what Wu Zhaoyi's opinions are, but I would like to hear the details."

"Uncle!" Wang turned his head suddenly and shouted angrily.

Liu Shi did not look at her, but held his knees with both hands, stretched his neck forward, and looked at Wu Rou, as if he was patiently asking for advice.

Wu Rou slightly raised the corners of her lips, looking quite appreciative, and said:

"Perhaps this is a little girl who has mastered her skills. It seems that Mr. Liu has already understood in his heart. There is no need for me to say more, but I am afraid that the Queen will not understand, so I will say a few words."

She lowered her eyes, seemed to be considering her words, and said:

"Your Majesty once liked to keep cats. Cats are aloof, wild, sharp claws, easy to scratch people, and they don't know whether they are good or bad.

I once asked him why he didn't cut off the cat's claws, and he said that the cat's livelihood cannot be cut off.

He treats courtiers the same way and treats the people around him. He likes to give people respect and freedom. He is so tolerant and generous that even if you scratch him twice sometimes, he doesn't care.

However, after all, humans cannot be cats. Cats are ignorant and have good nature, so they can be forgiven infinitely.

But people cannot be confused and regard other people's tolerance as weakness and blindly push for an advantage. Otherwise, it will lead to death. "

As Wu Rou spoke, she raised her eyebrows, her sharp eyes were firm and fierce, and her iris-like eyes were charming at the end. She glanced at Queen Wang in the seat quietly and said:

"Your Majesty is not an unarmed child. He holds the military power of the Tang Dynasty in his hands and can also hold a horizontal sword.

In the past, he thought about friendship and that all his ministers were the pillars of the country. He couldn't bear it and didn't want to take action, so he was forced to do this step by step by Changsun Wuji.

Master Liu also saw that as long as His Majesty wanted to take action, even the Changsun clan would be overthrown by the Manchus overnight. "

She paused, looked straight at him, and asked slowly:

"Master Liu, do you also want to end up like the Changsun family?"

When Queen Wang heard this, her pupils shrank, her eyes were very panicked, and she quickly turned to look at her uncle.

Liu Shi lowered his head and wiped the sweat from his head. After a while, he raised his head and said with an embarrassed smile:

"Changsun Wuji is plotting rebellion. We... Our Liu family and Wang family have not done anything disobedient, hahaha..." Upon hearing this, Wu Rou tilted her head slightly, as if she was a little surprised, and her eyes flashed. , seemed to be sizing up Liu Shi, and said:

"I'm just afraid that Mr. Liu will take chances, so I say these things. Mr. Liu doesn't need to explain to me or quibble with me about whether you are guilty or not.

You only need to think about what you have done in the past and how much resentment your Majesty has against you, and everything will become clear.

To be honest, if Mr. Liu retreats before His Majesty attacks, he can enjoy his old age in peace. If he waits for Your Majesty to take action, Changsun Wuji will learn from his mistakes. "

Liu Shi shook his body, wiped the sweat from his head, and said nothing.

Wu Rou stood up from his seat, turned to bow to the Queen and Queen sitting on the seat, and said politely:

"I've finished what I want to say, empress, Wu Zhaoyi will leave."

After that, without waiting for Queen Wang to say anything, she turned and left.

Queen Wang was still in fear at first, but when Wu Rou's background disappeared in the palace, she woke up and said angrily:

"Who the hell is she! She doesn't take me seriously anymore!"

As she said that, she looked at Liu Shi anxiously:

"Uncle! You should think of a way. If Wu Rou hadn't been supported by His Majesty, would she dare to threaten the former minister?! Did His Majesty ask her to come over and say this?"

When Liu Shi heard this, he shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty is not the kind of person who threatens people with words. If he could threaten, Changsun Wuji wouldn't be caught without reacting.

I didn't react... In the past, I thought that he would always suffer losses step by step because of his soft heart, until he got to the point where everything was irreparable. Who would have thought that he would take action. "

Liu Shi held the handkerchief, shook his head again, and said with emotion:

"The emperor is angry and thunders. Those of us who look at the scenery but actually have no military power will only end up in nothing."

He added:

"Changsun Wuji once had some military power and prestige, but His Majesty didn't give him a chance to use it."

When Queen Wang heard this, she felt very frustrated and panicked. She patted the case and said:

"That's because Changsun Wuji conspired to rebel! ... He was responsible for everything. A good hand of leaf cards and he lost everything!"

As long as we do not break the law, what can His Majesty do to us? "

When Liu Shi heard this, his brows knitted together and he said helplessly with a grimace:

"Oh my niece, why are you so naive? What kind of rebellion did Changsun Wuji rebel? Who is he? He was the person who followed Emperor Taizong and planned the Xuanwumen Incident.

If he really wanted to rebel, how could he let people surround him at home, with no power to fight back? He never expected that the emperor would take action. "

When Queen Wang heard this, she was startled, her eyes flashed, she leaned forward and asked excitedly:

"What my uncle means is that... Changsun Wuji was... set up by His Majesty and was wrongly accused?"

Liu Shi put his fingers on his lips to stop her words, then closed his eyes tightly and nodded.

Queen Wang's face turned pale... She thought for a while and murmured:

"Your Majesty... His Majesty has always been gentle-hearted, so why would he do this? The other party is still his biological uncle, and his blood sisters are also among them, so he can't."

Liu Shi sighed, pointed in the direction outside the door, and said:

"I used to just have suspicions and couldn't sleep at night, but if you listen to Wu Zhaoyi's words just now, she must be aware of it. Maybe the little emperor's abnormality has something to do with her.

If you go against a gentleman, you'll be fine if you don't break the law. But if you go against a villain, can you avoid disaster without breaking the law? "
