Pei Gonggui

Since ancient times, the imperial power has alternated, and there are only two types: the succession of the prince and the succession of the previous emperor.It is superfluous to establish a prince when the emperor is about to decline, and the establishment of a prince has only oral instructions and has not yet been completed, which is even more of a source of turmoil.

As far as Zhang Ling is concerned, Jiang Xuan not only has the blood of the Pei family, but also has a close relationship with Pei Jun, and is also the legacy of Jiang Xi, the king of Rui after the Cai family. The emperor, not to mention the Cai family who has been exterminated, the Pei family is the emperor's relatives in the history, and the surviving family can also take advantage of it. ", is extremely deformed, which makes him absolutely unacceptable; and for the faction of King Jin, although Jiang Xuan is a relative of the emperor, but if he succeeds here, he will inherit Jiang Zhan's biography, so in the end King Jin will be against the dynasty and seize the throne However, even if Jiang Xuan is called to make a virtuous person, it is not to overthrow Jiang Zhan's tyranny and replace him, but to take advantage of Jiang Xuan's young son's incompetence, which is extremely bad in reputation.

But the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the succession is imminent.The courtiers were arguing every day. Among the officials, Zhang San and the middle-level people who held real power supported Jiang Zhan's last words in order to let the new emperor ascend the throne and minimize the turmoil in the court. However, he strives to make legal history the greatest, and vows to guarantee the pure and holy name of the royal family, and never supports Jiang Xuan as emperor.

This matter was finally delayed day by day, but Jiang Xuan's situation in the palace became more and more difficult day by day because the throne was still undecided.

Precocious, he grew up amidst the royal family's infighting. He was taught by Pei Jun and followed Jiang Zhan for several years. He has seen the worst blood and blood.But unlike Jiang Zhan when he was a teenager, after he came into contact with life and death, party struggles and government affairs very early, he did not avoid, but quickly understood everything around him, and understood that if this continues, once he succeeds, he will become a subordinate. An uncle of the emperor, who does not succeed to the throne, may die in a royal conspiracy before the king of Jin returns to Beijing. Therefore, in order to protect himself, he relied on Wang Wenyi, Jiang Zhan's last trusted eunuch, and had no other choice. Gritting his teeth, he wins over the imperial secretary who captured him back to Beijing and forced him to separate from his biological mother, and promised them with ethereal power to make them and the eunuchs become his eyes, his hands and feet, and help him monitor the situation in the court. , but also to help him do something beyond his power.

However, for Jiang Xuan, the eunuch, the eagle dog and the young master are not the way to break the situation.

When Jiang Xuan was restless and sleepless at night, at noon one day, Wang Wenyi carried a brocade box into Liuying Hall, put the brocade box respectfully in front of Jiang Xuan and said, "His Royal Highness, someone sent a gift this morning. Things, we felt a little strange, so we came to present it to you."

Jiang Xuan frowned and opened the brocade box, only to see a pair of ordinary street clay figurines in the box, one in red clothes holding a doll, the other in white clothes with a sword.

Seeing that Jiang Xuan seemed to be lost in thought, Wang Wenyi said strangely: "Such an object is not a great craftsmanship, it can be bought on the street for three or four renminbi, why send it thousands of miles away? Your Highness, is this..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, stood up, and hurriedly asked him: "Who sent this thing?"

Wang Wenyi choked: "Well, I still need to look at the records, but why does Your Highness—"

"Go and find out the origin of this thing!" Jiang Xuan picked up the clay figurine in the brocade box with red eyes, and choked up, "There is only one person in this world who knows that I once had these two things, and if he really sent this thing, Our hope of breaking the situation may be there..."

A few days later, a carriage set off from the Forbidden Palace in the capital and headed towards the imperial mausoleum in the suburbs of Beijing. Although it was announced that the prince Jiang Xuan was going to pay homage to the late emperor Jiang Zhan, the carriage turned west after leaving Beijing and headed all the way to the imperial mausoleum. Go to Fahua Temple.

When he arrived at the temple, Jiang Xuan jumped out of the carriage, ignored the support of Wang Wenyi and the others, raised his robe and ran through the gates of the temple, and finally came to a meditation room, opened the door, lifted the bead curtain, pointed his nose sour, and turned inward called out:

"uncle!"
