Chapter 33 The Liu Family Received a Reward!
Emperor Xiao Yunzhou stood behind the black pine screen in the main hall of Chonghua Palace.
Next to him was the master of the Liu family who was called into the palace before dawn today.
Behind him was Wei Zheng and the guard Pang Rushong who saved him last time.
These were all people he trusted.
At this time, Xiao Yunzhou looked at the banquet in the main hall through a small hole that had been drilled early on the black painting screen.
The main banquet had not yet begun, and not many ministers had arrived.
But the eunuchs and maids in the harem were busy, shuttling in the hall.
So although General Zhang Chen arrived early, he was not noticeable.
He quickly looked around, and under the cover of the hurried maids and eunuchs, he gave a look to the eunuch Zheng who came over to check the preparations for the banquet.
Eunuch Zheng immediately picked up the wine glass on the table and made a pouring gesture.
After the two made this gesture, they quickly returned to their seats.
One sat down as if nothing had happened, and the other returned to the study in front.
Xiao Yunzhou, standing behind the screen, had a heaving chest.
"Your Majesty, is this eunuch in your presence?"
Master Liu also saw everything through the small hole behind the screen.
He had long heard his granddaughter say the standard answer, so he pretended to "reason".
"This eunuch Zheng picked up the wine glass and made a subversive gesture."
"Could it be that he wanted Zhang Chen to pour the wine on him during the banquet later!?"
"Are they going to have a secret conversation during the changing of clothes?"
"Otherwise, why would they be flirting with each other!"
Emperor Xiao Yunzhou could not help but show admiration in his eyes.
He now admired Master Liu very much.
"Not bad." Xiao Yunzhou himself only understood the secrets of these two people after listening to what the little princess said.
He did not expect Master Liu to interpret it so quickly and accurately.
That's right, these two people really responded to the little princess's wish and wanted to conspire at the Golden Festival Palace Banquet!
"These bastards, the emperor used the private treasury's money to entertain them, and they actually betrayed him?!" The imperial eunuch Wei Zheng was furious.
"And this pen holder Zheng Heng actually dared to have an affair with a military general."
Xiao Yunzhou snorted coldly, "Let's see what happens next! Wei Zheng, Old Liu, you and I will keep an eye on it."
The moon was on the willow branches, and the banquet began.
Xiao Yunzhou picked up the wine cup and gave mutton hot pot to several generals stationed on the border.
General Zhang Chen of the Cavalry was also among them.
"I thank the emperor! I will do my best for the emperor, and it is not a pity to die!"
Zhang Chen's square face had a strong sword brow, and he looked like a loyal minister.
At this moment, he took the oath of allegiance faster than other generals!
Xiao Yunzhou's eyebrows twitched.
He acted so realistically...
If it weren't for the little princess's reminder, he would definitely not have noticed Zhang Chen's evil intentions!
Xiao Yunzhou chuckled, "General, you're welcome. Sit down and have some hot food. Try the wine from the Western Regions."
Zhang Chen thanked him immediately, picked up the bottle and drank three full cups!
After a while, he was staggering, speaking with a lisp, and his eyes were blurry as if he was drunk.
Xiao Yunzhou narrowed his eyes and watched Zhang Chen take the bottle, singing loudly, and staggering out of the hall drunkenly.
Other officials were toasting the emperor and his superiors, and they were talking happily with each other.
Some people drank too much and went out to relieve themselves.
For a while, Zhang Chen's departure was not noticeable.
Xiao Yunzhou sat at his seat and kept chatting with the nearest cabinet ministers.
But his attention never left a few people.
Sure enough, not long after, in addition to Zhang Chen, the governors of Shu and Xuantong, and several ministers named by the little princess also followed him out of the hall.
Xiao Yunzhou took a deep breath.
Slowly, he gestured to Wei Zheng, "I want to change clothes, come and help me."
Old Liu also understood and secretly left the hall from the back door.
The three tiptoed and walked towards the Qianqing Palace where the ground dragon turned over.
Sure enough, they heard a sound soon.
"Ouch." It was the exclamation of the eunuch Zheng who held the pen.
"Ah, sorry, sorry, I spilled it all over you--"
"No, it was my carelessness that made the general wet. I called someone to help the general change clothes..."
"Hey."
"Huh? Eunuch Zheng, General Zhang, we feel like vomiting and are afraid of offending the emperor in Chonghua Palace. Eunuch Zheng, can you take us to a secluded place so as not to offend the emperor and the nobles?"
Several people bumped their heads.
Xiao Yunzhou stood behind the rockery and laughed angrily!
They were looking for a place to plot a rebellion, and they used him as a cover!
Soon, the conspiracy group in front of the rockery began to discuss where to change clothes, and began to plot the key points.
"The emperor has not trained troops for the past three years, and the only general available in the capital is General Zhang Chen. When the prince started the rebellion this time, I opened the city gate from Shucheng to support him and went to Xuantong."
"General Zhang came to Xuantong from the capital on the pretext of suppressing the rebels, and joined us and the prince's 50,000 elite troops."
"Well, the general of Xuantong was the prince's former subordinate, one of us!"
Xuantong and the governor of Shu were discussing with Zhang Chen, and their faces were already glowing.
As if they had already accomplished something.
"Has the emperor noticed anything?" Zhang Chen said, feeling that things were going too smoothly and couldn't help but worry.
The eunuch Zheng, who was holding the pen in front of the emperor, smiled slightly, "The earth dragon turned over, and it left a hidden worry in the emperor's heart that it was an ominous sign. The prince sent the auspicious sign of the nine-color peony, and the emperor praised Prince Liao very much."
"The emperor didn't notice anything unusual, and he also said that he would reward Prince Liao well during the New Year."
After eunuch Zheng said this, the other three were even more confident and determined to win.
Zhang Chen nodded, "Okay, then you go back and pass the secret letter to the prince, and we will do it this way when the time comes."
"Oh? How to do it?"
Zhang Chen frowned, which idiot asked a question!
How to do it, didn't we just discuss it? ! Still asking how to do it——
He was about to turn around and scold, but he saw the eunuch Zheng holding the pen in front of him, shaking like a sieve.
The two governors looked at his back, as if they had seen a ghost, their faces turned pale.
Zhang Chen's heart skipped a beat, and when he turned around, he saw a striking dragon robe under the moonlight.
It was like a wake-up call, and Zhang Chen's blood froze!
Emperor, emperor...?
"Hmm?" Xiao Yunzhou sneered with his hands behind his back, "I asked you, why didn't you answer?"
"How to act, huh?"
Several people knelt down on the ground, trembling.
Guard Pang Rushong immediately led people, two by two, and put knives on their necks!
"Emperor... Emperor..."
How could the emperor be here!
How could he know their conspiracy! ?
Impossible, impossible!
They had not contacted each other since entering Beijing this time!
Today was the first time they met in the palace and exchanged ideas about rebellion.
How could they be caught by the emperor? !
"You are so bold. During the Golden Awarding Festival, in the Qianqing Palace that I am renovating, you discussed how to overthrow me!"
Several people's faces were as red as gold, and beads of sweat flowed down.
It's over, it's all over!
Xiao Yunzhou laughed in anger, "You must be wondering how I knew it."
"Haha, it's all thanks to Lord Liu's cleverness. He found it in time and reminded me."
Several people were stunned, and all stared at the Liu family master who was only a fourth-rank official.
The second-rank general of the cavalry, the second-rank governor!
They had never even noticed Liu Changgeng before, he was just a small official in the Imperial College!
Now he has been promoted to the censor, and he has been in office for less than a month!
How did he find out? !
The four people couldn't figure it out, and they looked at Master Liu as if they had seen a ghost.
The Liu family master smiled slightly.
He looked honest and simple, and raised his head.
How did he find out?
Of course, it was the little granddaughter who warned him, the grandfather!
He thought happily, but soon his face became solemn, "Your Majesty, Prince Liao is rebelling, we must prepare early and kill him by surprise!"
Xiao Yunzhou gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely.
"Come here, secretly detain these people!"
"Liu Changgeng, temporarily appointed as the governor of the rebel army!"
"Pang Rushong, appointed as the left general, go to Yandi to call up 30,000 soldiers..."

[Aw, my wet nurse's husband, Guard Pang, is really reused by the emperor father! ]
[After this victory, he will be transferred to Xuantong as the deputy general! ]
Xiao Chuchu continued to live broadcast eating melons at the Queen's Palace Banquet.
The voice of the heart was broadcast in real time to Concubine Liu, who was closest to her, and the old lady of the Liu family who was at the table of the ministers' wives.
[Aw, my grandfather was rewarded again~ The emperor father asked him what he wanted! ]
[Grandfather said that he loved his wife the most. If the emperor wants to reward him, it is better to give it to my grandmother. ]
Old Lady Liu blushed.
The old man actually thought about her~
Really, why are you saying these things in front of the emperor!
[Aww, the emperor gave my grandmother ten pieces of Shu satin. ]
[Given another hundred taels of gold...]
[Appoint my grandmother as a third-rank lady! ]
Old Lady Liu couldn't stop smiling.
The other censor's wife who sat at the same table with her saw Old Lady Liu smiling so much and couldn't help thinking in her heart.
The Liu family is all good-tempered.
The old lady kept smiling, and the concubine Liu who was sitting on the seat was also smiling, and the little princess who was in the concubine's arms also had eyes like a crescent moon and a smile.
The whole family looked happy and auspicious.
No wonder she has been rising rapidly recently and is loved by the emperor.
"Old Lady Liu, I toast you a glass."
"I'll come too."
"Add me one."
Old Lady Liu was immediately surrounded.
Concubine Liu was even more so, surrounded by the maids and maids around her.
Not long after, the imperial edict came from the queen's banquet.
"The Emperor gave Concubine Liu a bowl of jade and snail soup!"
"The Emperor gave Madam Liu a bowl of bird's nest and beef soup!"
"The Emperor gave the Third Lady a bowl of corn porridge!"
The entire Kunning Palace was instantly quiet.
The emperor didn't reward the empress and concubines, but rewarded their grandparents and grandchildren! ?
