Chapter 70 Xuan Shu
(This chapter should belong to the extra episode)
In the mid-spring of the 15th year of Daye Jingshou, thousands of flowers were in full bloom, but a flood in the east of the river ruined such a bright time.

The Hedong area was originally a place where literati gathered, and it has always been regarded as the "homecoming" of literati.But this year, the embankment of the Meng River, the mother river in the Hedong area, suddenly collapsed, and the destination became a hell, and the people of Hedong suddenly fell into dire straits.

At this time, Xuan Shu received Chu Liang's order to go to Hedong for disaster relief.

The night was like water, Xuanshu was at his desk sorting out the documents from Hedong in recent days, Shang Yunhui stood beside Xuanshu, refilling him with some tea from time to time.

Suddenly, Xuan Shu was in a trance for a while, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

When Shang Yun saw Xuan Shu frowning, he thought he was cold, and looked at the doors and windows, they were all open.

"My lord, it's windy and it looks like it's going to rain."

Xuanshu said "hmm" without looking up.

A gust of wind blew in, blowing away the painting scroll placed in Xuanshu's hand, Xuanshu looked over, with a gentle smile on his face.

Shang Yun went back to close the door, but saw Gu Fengqi came back with a serious face.

"Old Gu, what's wrong with you, but what's going on in the disaster area ahead?"

Gu Fengqi ignored Shang Yunhui, went straight into the study, and bowed to Xuan Shu.

"Hey you old Gu, why don't you pretend you can't see me!"

Xuan Shu looked up at Gu Fengqi, seeing that his brows were tightly furrowed, and the uneasiness in his heart actually spread.

"My lord, something happened to Yuanjing."

Shang Yunhui shouted: "Old Gu, you—"

"Shut up!" Xuan Shu interrupted Shang Yunhui, motioning Gu Fengqi to continue.

Gu Fengqi pursed his lips, and his tone was a bit difficult: "My lord, there is news from Yuanjing... Your Majesty... Your Majesty is gone!"

Xuan Shu's face changed suddenly, the blood on his face faded away, his whole body trembled a little, but his eyes were still fixed on Gu Fengqi.

Gu Fengqi continued: "Chu Liang forced the empress to sacrifice to heaven, and burned her alive..."

Hearing this, Shang Yunhui felt his scalp go numb, and he didn't dare to think about what would happen to Xuanshu's heart, so he subconsciously looked at Xuanshu.

Xuan Shu was a little dazed, and suddenly felt a colic in his heart, but he covered his heart to no avail.

"puff--"

He spat out a mouthful of blood abruptly.

"My lord!"

Xuanshu closed his eyes, turned his head to look at the portrait of Mei Huaiyin, and spit out another mouthful of blood, which stained Mei Huaiyin's cheek in the portrait.

"The things in the Hedong area are almost done, leave the rest to He Wanlong, and we will return to Beijing tomorrow."

Shang Yunhui and Gu Fengqi should agree, but dare not say anything more.

But Xuanshu understood that Chu Liang's attack on Mei Huaiyin was actually because he was afraid of Mei Yu, but Mei Yu's status could not be shaken, Chu Liang was just furious from embarrassment.

Once Mei premeditated rebellion, then Xuan Shu, who had not sent troops to fight, became the next person Chu Liang would deal with.

Back then when Chu Liang was the prince, he was ruthless at the age of 15.

That year, Xuan Shu was not Xuan Shu, but Pei Shaochen who was seven years old.

The son of Pei Daomin, the left minister of the dynasty.

The Xuan family, the Mei family, and the Pei family are all heroes in the founding of the great cause.The ancestor of the Xuan family was granted the title of King Ding'an, a hereditary successor, and held part of the military power; the Mei family was named the Duke of Wei and a general, and held part of the military power; the Pei family was the head of civil servants, with disciples all over the world.

The original intention of the Chu family was to keep the three families in check, but in the generation of Xuanshu's father, the heads of the three families became sworn brothers.

The old emperor was afraid of these three families, so he took the Pei family first.

In order to consolidate his position as the prince, Chu Liang framed the Pei family, and 800 people became innocent souls.

Xuan Yingshan and Mei Yu tried their best to rescue Xuan Shu secretly, and Xuan Yingshan declared that Pei Shaochen was his son—Xuan Shu.

Xuanyingshan has no children, only one daughter, and Xuanshu is the legitimate son of Prince Ding'an.

Now that Xuan Yingshan died for the country, Xuan Shu became the king of Ding'an. Compared with Xuan Yingshan, he is even more popular than Xuan Yingshan. Chu Liang must attack Xuan Shu.

If he finds an excuse not to return the soldier talisman, he finds it troublesome, so he just pretends to be stupid.

In this way, the world will know that King Ding'an was assassinated on the way back to Beijing for disaster relief, and became a fool after being seriously injured.

But when Xuanshu returned to Yuanjing, the first thing he did, even Shang Yunhui and Gu Fengqi were taken aback.

Xuanshu is going to smash the imperial tomb!
