The sun was setting in the west. At this moment, in Suiyang, the capital of the Liang Country.
"What's the situation with Secretary Han? It had been more than a day. Why hadn't he sent any news?”The King of Liang said angrily.
Gongsun Gui quickly said," King of Liang, don't be anxious. This journey to the capital is more than 600 miles. Even if it's 800 miles urgent, the messenger will still need time to return."”
"Forget it! Let's wait a little longer!" The King of Liang waved his hand, his face filled with dissatisfaction.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, the envoy from the capital requests an audience!”
"An envoy from the capital?" The King of Liang's expression changed slightly." Lieutenant, do you think something happened to Internal Secretary Han…"
"King Liang, don't be alarmed. We will wait and see!”
"Summon him in!"
The messenger from the Zong Zheng Department quickly walked into the hall and said,""Greetings, King of Liang!"
"Speak!" The King of Liang's expression did not change.
"King Liang, I am here on the orders of His Majesty and the Zong Zheng Department to convey His Majesty's decree!”
"Your Majesty? "He, Liu Che…" Before the King of Liang could finish, Gongsun Gui interrupted him."King Liang, be careful with your words!"
"Humph!" The King of Liang snorted coldly and pointed at the messenger with dissatisfaction.""Continue!"
"King Liang, accept the decree!"
Gongsun Gui knew that things were not going well.
"You…"
This time, the King of Liang could not sit still anymore.
Let him accept the decree?
Wouldn't that make him admit that Liu Che had become the emperor?
How could he swallow this?
The King of Liang immediately shouted.
"Men, tie him up!"
"Yes, Great King!"
"Prince of Liang, what do you mean? You didn't accept the edict and kidnapped the envoy from the capital. Are you trying to rebel?”
The envoy said anxiously. However, with his strength alone, he could not stop those soldiers.
In just one round, the envoy was subdued.
"Your Majesty, this is the Saint…No, the capital document!”
The King of Liang took the document from Gongsun Gui and opened it.
The King of Liang immediately threw the document on the ground.
"Pa!"
The King of Liang was furious. How preposterous! Little Liu Che, you're going too far!"
"Your Majesty, this…"
"Look for yourself!"
Gongsun Gui picked up the document and read it carefully.
Immediately, his expression changed.
"This…"
The King of Liang roared in anger," Lieutenant, tell me, what ability does that Liu Che have to make me go and see him?"”
"Who gave him the guts?"
Gongsun Gui thought of something and smiled.""Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"That's it! How can I calm down? I can't wait to bring the army into the capital!”
"Your Majesty, you mustn't!" Gongsun Gui quickly knelt on the ground and advised,""Your Majesty, think about it. At this juncture, if we bring an army over, would the Empress Dowager think this way?”
"Empress Dowager…"
At the mention of the Empress Dowager, the King of Liang was instantly at a loss.
"What do you think?"
"Great King! I think this is a good thing!"
"What is it? Something good?"
"That's right!" Gongsun Gui said seriously," This matter will be of great benefit to Your Majesty!”
"Your Majesty, think about it. This document has already been sent to us! The other vassal states would receive it sooner or later!”
"The Empress Dowager will also receive it!”
"What do you think the kings of the vassal states will think? What would the Empress Dowager think?"
The King of Liang revealed a thoughtful expression as he slowly sat down.
Gongsun Gui took a step forward and continued to persuade him.
"I believe that Internal Secretary Han must have seen the same document in the capital! At this moment, Internal Secretary Han should be on his way back!”
"With the information from Internal Secretary Han, we can make the next step of the plan!”
"Humph! I really can't wait any longer!”As he spoke, the King of Liang drew his sword and said angrily,""I wish I could immediately behead Liu Che!”
"Great King! Liu Che is not worth your effort!”
"Think about it, a posthumous edict of the late emperor that no one knows if it's real or fake dares to proclaim himself emperor? Would the Empress Dowager agree? Will the vassal states agree?"
"Your Majesty, if you don't admit it, it's a fake edict!”
"How could Liu Che and the Empress, an orphan and a widow, stir up waves in this vast Darkhan Dynasty?”
Hearing this, the King of Liang's mood became much better.
He immediately waved his hand and said,"Take the messenger to the death prison."”
"Yes, sir!"
"Lieutenant, what should we do now?”
"Your Majesty, I think we need to prepare our troops! Once the Empress Dowager summons you into the palace, we will pick five hundred elite light cavalry and head straight for the capital! If anything happens, our army will travel at full speed and reach the capital in two days!”
After pondering for a while, the King of Liang was overjoyed."We'll do as you say!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. This lowly subject will definitely arrange this matter properly!”
……
At the same time, Empress Dowager Dou, who had been unconscious for several hours, finally woke up.
Seeing Empress Dowager Dou open her eyes, the Eldest Princess quickly went forward and said with concern,"Mother, are you alright?"
"Humph! I'm almost angered to death by that Liu Che!" Empress Dowager Dou's face was filled with anger.
"Go and get Liu Che to see me!"
"I want to ask him who gave him the guts! Who allowed him to be the emperor!"
