Empress Han

Mrs. Shangguan looked at Zhengjun's pretty face and sighed, "You know it's difficult, and now is not the time for you to bring it up."

Zhengjun nodded, "I know the seriousness. It's raining all over the court now, and even the slightest movement will turn into thunder, and I never thought of overturning the case on the emperor, because he won't bring up the case more than ten years ago because of a little medical girl." Even if the doctor girl is the mother of the princess, I just plan to wait for the death of Prince Lian and Chen Shunchang in the palace to come to a conclusion, and then let people investigate quietly, it is better than scaring the snake by then."

"It's good if you have a plan. I came today because I have something to say." Mrs. Shangguan paused, "Have you heard of Chenghou?"

"Chenghou?" Zhengjun was a little puzzled, but he thought Mrs. Shangguan was not here to talk about something irrelevant, so he shook his head, "I have heard the name, but I have never seen it. Madam knows, I grew up in the suburbs of Chang'an and entered the palace. I can’t even see people outside, Chenghou, I’ve heard of him, but I’ve never seen him, what’s wrong with this person.”

"Chenghou is a hereditary marquis. His ancestors have made a lot of contributions. Although this dynasty does not grant kings with different surnames, the position of marquis is allowed to be hereditary. Unless he rebels, he is not included in the nine clans. It is conceivable that such a character has great influence, and he likes to march and fight. Although he cannot be allowed to lead the army because of his family background, he has made many suggestions When dealing with the Xiongnu, so to speak, such a person with credit and title is very respected." When Mrs. Shangguan said this, Zheng Jun was even more puzzled, "If this is the case, then it has nothing to do with me, this kind of thing , should be considered by the crown prince."

"But Chenghou has a son, because he is the only son, so he is very spoiled, so he has developed a domineering character of Chenghou's son. His usual hobbies are listening to music, visiting brothels, and such gentleman's games as hunting, but he hates it. It's tight, his father is so great, but his son is so dandy. No one dares to say the words of tiger father and dog son, but do they say it in private? This son of Chenghou always has a feeling that only my family is the only one in the world. The rich and nobles, and everyone else has the idea of ​​a chicken and a dog. He dare not move at the foot of the capital. A stone thrown here can hit a marquis's mansion. Therefore, he really doesn't dare to be in the street. So he was beaten by his family He was sent to another place to hide for a while, and he was not the one who stayed there. He came and went to Lianzhou to play, and got to know Lian Wang well. Do you think Lian Wang would let go of such a good opportunity to win over Chenghou? ."

Zhengjun's heart moved, and he finally understood that Chenghou was such a character in the previous life. After the prince ascended the throne, why did he seem to have no such person at all? Is the root cause here? Who likes white-eyed wolves?

"However, are you the only one who got the news?" It is very important whether the emperor and the crown prince know about this matter. The crown prince has been under a lot of pressure recently, and he basically goes to the backyard to chat with the monarch. If the news is accurate, Undoubtedly, it can make the prince and the emperor more prepared. If the emperor knows the news, Chenghou will not be far from prison. I didn’t expect that if he didn’t do a good job in hereditary inheritance, he would have to be a slave to others. I really think that King Lian valued him. .

"I just happened to meet at the right time. At that time, someone opened a free clinic there. It sounded very important. Someone deliberately brought this news to me, although I was not the first to know about it.

The prince couldn't even imagine the prince's face at the moment, so he quickly thanked Mrs. Shangguan. No matter what, this incident is enough to give the two parties who are now competing for endurance an intuitive impression, so it's better not to show up.

Looking at the time, it was going to be dark in a short time. After such a long time, the two talked for an entire afternoon before going back separately.

Sure enough, the prince saw it, and his face turned livid. "Chenghou has something to do with him, and so does the other person. It seems that these two people have forgotten who gave the glory, especially Chenghou. He took the risk to invite him to make a move, whether it was a storm or a calm water, the father had never treated him badly, but this time he actually turned against him, I don't know what the father would think.

The emperor really can't spare his hands recently, making arrangements while civil strife has long made him afraid to do more things every day, for fear of encountering other things again, not to mention that he also has existential considerations, a person with deep roots, moved He, just think about it?

In addition, there was news that the valley where King Lian hid his soldiers had been found, but it was really not suitable for fighting in the valley. It was impossible to avoid fighting outside, so he had to lure the snake out of the cave as discussed.But there are many people who don't agree. You say yours is reasonable, and I say mine is feasible. Each of them makes some sense, but they don't have much reason. The prime minister neither nodded nor shook his head.

In the end, I could only think of a way to get the person out. During the second discussion, the emperor was really impatient and couldn't solve it. Later, he said, "It seems that my birthday is coming soon. If so, let the Ministry of Rites hold a banquet." Well, those princes and kings can come back and have a look.

This is to let the princes and kings leave the fief, and to test whether King Lian will make trouble. Naturally, the sooner the better, so King Lian also smells a bad smell.

King Lian convened a meeting in the staff hall.

"What's going on, how could the Ministry of Rites, how could it agree? If there is still so much difference, I'm afraid I can only say thank you. Many people have no choice. Who made them not have the ability to do tricks by themselves. Originally, the people of King Lian People who are still very proud of themselves listened to their own words all the way, but now they don't expect to call anyone and no one will answer, isolated and helpless!

This world is so realistic, no matter how much ambition you have, the power of a country cannot be resisted by an individual, so in the end, King Lian didn't even know that his first batch of investment was eaten up.

After cooperating to eat the first batch of Lian Wang's money, Lian Wang realized that something was wrong, and there was something strange in it.

King Lian negotiated with various princes because of the urgent time, and managed to appease these people who couldn't bear the excitement at all. For this reason, he did not hesitate to move a batch of gold and silver from other places for them to see, so as to make up the difference.

King Lian always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't see it at all. The dynamics in the court were normal. The emperor was weak, but he was devoted to paving the way for the prince.

We have been old friends for a long time. King Cheng has some gold and silver. He knows that what he wants to do now is a bottomless pit like a gold-absorbing hole. Up to now, there are countless gold and silver filled in, so now he has to find a way outside. Some permissions can be opened in exchange.

Ever since he sued King Lian at a discount, King Cheng was very afraid that King Lian would know about it, and suddenly couldn't think about it. Procrastinate as long as you can, and if you can't procrastinate, think of other ways.He grinned. This is what he is best at. I didn't say I wouldn't help you, but I didn't say I would help you either. It just came and went. King Lian finally realized that King Cheng might have reached the point where he was lost. On the inside, it is absolutely impossible for the higher-ups to be unaware of the fact that I have rebelliousness. It seems that the so-called disappearance of myself inexplicably before has gone to another place.

When King Lian told his staff about this possibility, everyone fell silent.There are very few chances of success in a covert assassination, not to mention the fact that the situation has been figured out now, this is fate.

The crowd sat around, in the completely opposite atmosphere from the heated discussion a few days ago, and they all remained silent and dared not speak.

Xu Ran opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say anything. It seems that the emperor had been prepared for them, so he had no room to resist. They, the courtiers, can only go to the dark side with King Lian, because the traitor There is no way out, and there is still a chance of survival, so no one said they want to leave, because it is impossible to leave.

Bian Yu and Xie Ting thought about it and said to King Lian, "My lord, if you hesitate any longer, you will really have to be slaughtered. The emperor knows our plan, so how could he let us make all the preparations? Recently, we changed defenses. I think it's very strange, so my lord, it's time for those people to come out of the mountains, after planning for so long, it's time to put an end to it, it's Jackie Chan, it's useless to procrastinate."

King Lian gritted his teeth, "Okay, since everyone thinks this way, I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman. Let someone inform the mountain that the army can be pulled to the nearest town, and let people kill the local prefect first. All we have to do is delay. In a few days, using the town as a base, we will take down all the nearby counties and connect them together. This battle requires speed. Even if a few more people die, the news must not be let out. Do you understand, Zhang Cheng."

"The subordinates understand." Zhang Cheng accepted the task, feeling a little bit excited in his heart. Whether his name will go down in history or notoriety will soon come to a conclusion.

A few days later, there was a sudden explosion in the court, because many memorials were reported. King Lian had evil intentions. There was a large army near Liancheng, and there was also a mysterious army that appeared from nowhere. More than 2 people are currently entrenched near Liancheng, and the news around them can't be revealed. It is obvious that the other party has already controlled the place and pretended to be actively attacking.

Countless veterans cried bitterly and came forward one after another. King Lian was so ambitious. It was a great kindness for the emperor not to let him be deposed as a prince.

These old censors are so excited that they seem to have renewed their posts. Usually, they have too few opportunities to talk. The censors are just playing with their pens. After writing these articles, the prince can't help it. I feel that this group of elders was really condescending in the past, and it seems that after this test, it is necessary to find a suitable way to let these elders speak for him, maybe with just a few words, many of his ideas can be understood. Tortuous realization.

The emperor said that seeing the memorials of the lovers, the emperor, I am very angry and sad. The Chinese New Year is almost here, why did you cheat people behind your back, my relatives?So Ying Yang's army organized their formation and rushed straight to Liancheng. They arrived in a few days. This speed is a model for the army's marching.

But King Lian was a bit jealous at the beginning. Apart from the territory occupied by his army, there are many people here. cost.The Yingyang army is also a little bit restrained, because there are too many civilians, and it is not easy to explain if they hurt the people.

But so many people always want to eat. King Lian can take out the share of the army, but he really doesn't want to give out the share of the common people. In his mind, the common people live like this, so how could there be no one at home? As for food, the sporadic protests of the people are not taken seriously.

The first thing that happened were the homeless people.Ordinary people still have surplus food, but homeless people are begging for a living. They live on food from the east and west. Now no one knows when the matter will end, and no one dares to give them more rations. Han lives in a place that can shelter from the wind and rain, but he has no food, which is the most terrible thing. In a few days, some people starve to death. They don't even have a straw mat, and they are thrown into a random graveyard.The general of the Yingyang Army was very aware of the complaints accumulated by the common people, and wrote the sentence "the hearts of the people are available" to the emperor's memorial.

After the emperor waited for the third letter that was popular among the people, he sent some spies to sneak in and disguised himself as a refugee, just to provoke, the emperor would send a large army if King Lian was sitting. Will they be used as cannon fodder or something to scare the people so much that some people will not be afraid anymore, "Why should King Lian rebel, we have to be dragged down by King Lian? Our taxation, we have to help the court." Such words gradually appeared in everyone's ears, and they were reported to King Lian until they couldn't hide them at all.
