Straight man of steel

Chapter 305 The Solution to Trouble

"I just heard that the late emperor had left an imperial edict for Wei Qihou, and I thought that Wei Qihou is already in prison, why hasn't he brought out the edict to save his life.

It was only then that I thought about coming to the Shangshu Pavilion to see what the content of the edict was. It was a coincidence that His Majesty sent someone to pick up a copy of the edict. "

Zhang Yuan's explanation was very blunt, and Sima Tan didn't believe it at all, but he thought that since Zhang Yuan chose not to tell the truth from himself, there was no need to continue to involve it.

"I hope the Taixue Order is not involved in this matter."

Sima Tan's face was not very good-looking, and he didn't send Zhang Yuan out of the palace, and he didn't even remember Zhang Yuan's official uniform and said to return it to Zhang Yuan.

Watching Sima Tan leave step by step, Zhang Yuan also scolded himself in his heart for meddling with a mouse.

Needless to say now, the Shangshu Ling who is in charge of Shangshu Pavilion will definitely tell the Queen Mother and Tian Fu about Sima Tan going to Shangshu Pavilion to check the edict today.

As for how much trouble Dou Ying can rely on this edict to break out later, and whether the Queen Mother and Tian Fu will come to talk to Sima about troubles, Zhang Yuan can only take one step at a time.

The matter of Dou Ying holding the first emperor's edict caused an uproar in the court. This matter was extremely secretive, otherwise Liu Che would not have asked someone to get a copy if Dou Ying mentioned it.

There were not many people who knew the content of the edict, and no more than ten people were counted, so everyone circulated that the edict was a death-prevention edict given to Dou Ying by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

Dou Ying helped Emperor Han Jing a lot. At the beginning, Emperor Han Jing joked that he could pass the throne to his younger brother King Liang Xiao, but he was believed to be true by Queen Mother Dou. This matter almost made Emperor Han Jing turn against his mother.

However, because of the existence of Dou Ying, it should have been that Emperor Han Jing disagreed with the matter in his heart, and it turned out that the ministers of the court did not agree that Emperor Han Jing should pass the throne to King Liang Xiao.

So Empress Dowager Dou directly turned against her own nephew, but Emperor Han Jing found a way because of this.

Then Dou Ying made great contributions to quelling the chaos of the seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Wei for his military exploits.

Emperor Han Jing should have a good impression of Dou Ying deep in his heart, and this can also be seen in Liu Che.

If he only relied on his inner likes and dislikes, Liu Che would definitely prefer Dou Ying instead of his own uncle Tian Fu.

For these reasons, there are more and more rumors inside and outside the court, and some people even say that Tian Fu can be brought down in one fell swoop.

The Prime Minister's Mansion in Chang'an City.

Shang Shuling, who Zhang Yuan met in Shangshu Pavilion before, was standing obediently in front of Tian Fu.

Ji Fu was also sitting beside him, Tian Fu's face turned blue, and he was holding a piece of jade tightly with both hands, wishing to smash it into pieces.

"You mean that when you wanted to hide the edict, Sima Tan was just holding the edict in his hand?"

He didn't finish what Tian Fu told Shang Shuling, and now he was terribly frightened, and replied with a trembling voice.

"That's right, Prime Minister, if it wasn't for Sima Tan's old man, how could I let those two officials take away the copy of the imperial edict."

Now that the matter has come to this point, no matter how unwilling Tian Fu is, it is impossible to rush to Jianzhang Palace to snatch the copy from Liu Che. The current plan is to come up with a countermeasure first.

So Tian Fu looked at his confidant Jifu, and at this time he couldn't find anyone else to advise.

"Mr. Jifu, the matter has come to this, what should we do to get out of danger?"

Shang Shuling didn't know why Tian Fu said he was in danger, but Ji Fu knew it clearly.

"Prime Minister, we have only two options now."

"Mr. Jifu, tell me quickly."

"Zhang Tang made good friends with us before, so we can force Zhang Tang to kill Dou Ying in Ting Wei's prison. Anyway, Dou Ying is old, and it's normal to die in a dark, damp and cold place like the prison."

After Tian Fu heard this, he shook his head. If it was earlier, he might have believed in Zhang Tang, but now that he has figured out who Zhang Tang is, he no longer wants to continue dealing with this kind of person.

"Zhang Tang has become His Majesty's eagle dog, and the relationship with the true phase has long been severed.

It might be His Majesty's idea that he did things in the house before, so don't mention him in the future, let's get together and get away.

Mr. Jifu, tell me what is your second method? "

Ji Fu just wanted to test Tian Fu to see if Tian Fu was still as domineering as before. As for Zhang Tang, he just mentioned it casually.

A few years ago, Tian Fu might have dared to send someone to sneak into Tingwei's prison and kill Dou Ying directly. Now it seems that he is getting old and timid.

"Your Majesty, this second method is no different from the first method.

We don't know if Dou Ying knows Guan Fu's secret, if not, why should we worry about that edict?

The big deal is to let Dou Ying retreat completely. Once Guan Fu dies, this secret will become a secret forever, and in the eyes of others, Dou Ying will completely lose to you. "

Kill Guan Fu!

Tian Fu's heart skipped a beat, and the previous anger was aroused again.

"Okay, the truth is, let people kill Guan Fu. Originally, the crime of extermination of the family has already been decided for this person, but he was killed in advance, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks when there is trouble."

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Pass down the order to kill all the Guanfu clan."

"Here."

Not long after Tian Fu had just ordered to kill the Guanfu clan, people from Jianzhang Palace came.

It was said that Dou Ying had been summoned by Liu Che, and then he didn't know what to say, so Liu Che sent someone to come to the prison of the prime minister's mansion to pick up Guanfu to Jianzhang Palace.

When Tian Fu saw the people coming from the palace, he was overjoyed, fortunately, he killed people quickly.

The people sent by the palace knew that Tian Fu had killed Guan Fu, so they didn't have much to say, so they immediately went back with the news.

"Jun Hou should immediately go to Changle Palace to seek the protection of the Empress Dowager.

With the Empress Dowager here, even if His Majesty gets angry again, he will not dare to get angry with you, uncle. "

Seeing the envoy of the Son of Heaven leave, Ji Fu immediately offered another plan.

Tian Fu nodded, deeply convinced.

What I have done is almost a disguised admission that I have a ghost. Although it is very likely that Liu Che will not be able to catch the clues, it is still possible to make trouble.

"Okay, I'll go to Changle Palace to meet the Empress Dowager, and His Majesty will send someone to say that I am serving the Empress Dowager in Changle Palace."

"Here."

The Prime Minister's Mansion and Changle Palace are separated by a palace wall, and Tian Fu soon left the Prime Minister's Mansion and entered Changle Palace.

Jifu looked at the frame going away and smiled.

Anyone who knows Liu Che knows what Liu Che hates.

For Queen Dowager Dou and Queen Mother Wang, Liu Che will not have any resentment in his heart, but those officials who use the power of the two queen mothers to suppress themselves will definitely plant a nail in Liu Che's heart that cannot be removed.

What Jifu did was to bury the nail deeper and deeper, and it would hurt even more when it was pulled out later.
