Chapter 30 The Nine-Colored Peony Is a Man-Made Auspicious Omen
South Imperial Garden.
The Liu family was like falling into a freezing lake, their bodies were about to freeze.
[Prince Liao, my cheap emperor father's uncle, sent people to rush 900 miles in the cold winter, occupying the post stations and military roads along the way, and sent auspicious signs - the nine-color peony blooming in winter. ]
[It is to take advantage of the situation to understand the military defense of various places! ]
Master Liu: "!"
He almost couldn't breathe.
What?
This is what the nine-color peony looks like!
Concubine Liu couldn't help but hold the little shoulder of the fifth prince Cheng Gan to prevent him from falling.
The fifth prince Cheng Gan also gritted his teeth.
How can I sleep soundly beside the bed!
Prince Liao is so bold! He actually used the guise of presenting flowers to openly prepare for rebellion?
My father has been busy with the arrangements for the river and refugees recently, and he was confused by the memorial to establish the crown prince.
Did my father not expect it at all?
[The leader of the guards of Prince Liao who escorted the Nine-Colored Peony visited a man when he entered the capital. What was his name? It seemed to be a general of the cavalry... This man was a captain of the Yanmen Guard that Prince Liao led when he defended Yanmen Pass ten years ago. Prince Liao saved his life. ]
[This life-saving grace happened more than ten years ago. In addition, few people survived the fierce battle at Yanmen Pass at that time, so no one knew that this general of the cavalry had always been loyal to Prince Liao! ]
[As a result, Prince Liao rebelled, and the Ministry of War also suggested that the emperor send this general of the cavalry to lead 100,000 soldiers to attack Prince Liao. The result can be imagined. Not only did they fail to prevent the rebels in Shu, but the 100,000 soldiers were also instigated by Prince Liao to rebel! The two forces merged into one! ]
Xiao Chuchu recalled, and didn't notice that the faces of the people around him turned pale.
The fifth prince breathed rapidly.
Master Liu and Concubine Liu held their breath, afraid of missing a word of Xiao Chuchu's voice.
[Alas, I don't remember the name of this general. ]
[But after he received the message from Prince Liao, he hooked up with a eunuch who was holding a pen beside his father. ]
[This eunuch sold a lot of palace information to him and Prince Liao. It seems that the Shu and Xuantong governors who came back to take performance evaluations at the end of the year were also involved in this matter. ]
[On which day did they plot this? Let me think, emmm, it seems to be the day when all officials entered the palace for the Golden Award! ]
The Golden Award is two days later!
Mr. Liu's eyes lit up, there is still a chance to stop them!
But then his beard exploded.
They actually had the courage to choose this day?
On the day when the emperor entertained all officials, right under the emperor's nose, they met to discuss rebellion! ?
He was really convinced.
If he hadn't heard his granddaughter's voice, who would have thought of this?
"Well, that, Madam, the Fifth Prince, it's almost the end of the year, you all have to be careful in the palace, don't run around with the little princess in your room if you have nothing to do."
Master Liu looked at his daughter, grandson and his group with a complicated look.
His eyes finally fell on the pink face of Xiao Chuchu in the cradle.
What if the rebel succeeds and rushes into the palace, hurting his precious granddaughter, grandson and daughter, what should he do!
"You must listen to me, understand?"
Master Liu was afraid that the Fifth Prince was young and his daughter had just been promoted, so they would not listen to him.
Master Liu thought about it, frowned and thought, "Your grandmother went to the temple yesterday and drew the worst fortune, saying that there would be a bloody disaster. She was so anxious that she spent money to find a monk for advice, and then she heard the solution, saying that it was better to stay still and not to move, and she had to wait until a certain major event was over or the beginning of next spring to change her luck."
The Fifth Prince and Concubine Liu were both stunned.
They were just trying to find a way to make Master Liu, who couldn't hear the little princess's voice, be careful recently!
The rebels have reached the gate of the capital.
The Liu family is not a soldier. What if the rebels rush into their home...
Concubine Liu nodded quickly and pressed her pale face with a handkerchief to make it rosy, "Dad, you too. My daughter had a nightmare yesterday. Don't go to crowded places recently."
The fifth prince Cheng Gan nodded repeatedly.
But his face was still not relaxed.
If the rebels really started an army, even if their family could escape, what about the many unarmed people outside?
Prince Liao rebelled along the way. How many casualties and disasters would the war bring to the people?
He was very worried.
Xiao Chuchu sighed sadly, [Hey, this time Prince Liao rebelled, and the three major camps of the Beijing Army alone suffered more than 40,000 casualties! ]
The face of the fifth prince turned green instantly.
The three camps of the Beijing Army are different from the other camps in Hangzhou and Zhejiang.
The three camps of the Beijing Army are all elite soldiers!
40,000 casualties, almost half of them.
After the rebellion, I don’t know how long it will take to recruit equally well-trained soldiers.
[After this battle, several tribes on the border knew that we were seriously injured, and they kept sending cavalry to harass and attack our cities on the border. ]
[The people suffered, the soldiers suffered, and what’s more, our army never recovered and has declined since then! ]
The fifth prince clenched his fists.
Old Master Liu couldn’t listen any more.
Listen, the Apocalypse Dynasty is going to end!
"Mr. Liu, please come into the garden. There are three pots of nine-color peonies in total, all in the greenhouse."
"Please pick any one you like."
Wei Zheng came out with a bandage on his head, smiling. He had cleared the concubines in the garden and asked them to leave.
"Which pot do you choose? I will have someone escort you all the way to your house."
"Send three more craftsmen and a gardener to take care of this auspicious peony that blooms in autumn and winter in your house."
Ouch!
Mr. Liu's mouth twitched.
What auspicious sign?
This peony is clearly a sign of the country's demise, an ominous thing!
And so many people are sent to serve it!
Mr. Liu resisted, but he still endured it and said goodbye to his daughter and the fifth prince, "Remember my words, I will listen to you and stay out of the house."
He pinched his nose and went in to pick flowers.
Concubine Liu and the fifth prince watched him go and frowned as they stood there.
That night, they all suffered from insomnia.
Xiao Chuchu could not control her baby needs and was very sleepy after feeding.
Emperor Xiao Yunzhou did not visit the little princess tonight. He sat quietly in the study, thinking hard about which prince's name to write to inherit the great cause.
For the sake of fairness and justice, he did not visit Liupin and the little princess that night, fearing that he would have a deeper doting on the fifth prince.
Therefore, the fifth prince stayed in the side hall of the courtyard on Liupin's side today.
"Mother, find a chance to take your sister to father to remind him?" Cheng Gan frowned.
Liupin thought and nodded, "Well, this must be done."
The emperor did not know that if he did not prepare early, the people would be displaced and tens of thousands of families would be broken.
"If he doesn't come tomorrow, I will let the nanny take the little princess."
But the next day, Liupin did not wait for the opportunity.
Because Master Liu entered the palace again, he went to the emperor's study in Chonghua Palace and stayed there for half an hour.
Not long after, a letter arrived.
"My queen, the emperor sent me to tell you that things are not peaceful recently. You should not take the little princess to other places except for a few familiar places in the palace. The same applies to the fifth prince."
Liu Pin and the fifth prince were startled when they received the news.
The emperor knew?
Wait, it was her father/grandfather who went to remind the emperor! ?
