Chapter 1587 King Wei, I really misjudged him at first!
Li's house, residence
Li Zan went down to court, took a carriage, and returned to the mansion. At this moment, he entered the study with a dejected face. As if his energy had been drained, he slumped on the pear wood chair. His old face was almost full of dejection.
gas.
How could King Wei do such a shocking thing?
To kill a minor minister in the cabinet without discussion at court is unprecedented since the founding of the People's Republic of China!
In fact, this is breaking the rules.
At this moment, Li Zan's heart was quickly shaken, because Jia Heng's behavior, no matter how you look at it, smells like a traitor!
Undoubtedly, he rubbed the face of the Han Dynasty court hard against the ground. It can be said that at that moment, something sacred was broken in the hearts of Li Zan and other Han officials.
In other words, since Emperor Chongping was assassinated and died, the central court of the Han Dynasty has begun a pattern of chaos and darkness, with one storm after another.
The prestige of the Chen Han clan fell again and again.
Not long after Emperor Guangzong ascended the throne, he was assassinated by gangsters. Then Lu Jiang, one of the cabinet ministers, led the Imperial Academy to force King Wei to resign and go into seclusion, causing a political uproar.
The two were exiled to Yunnan one after another, and some of the Imperial College students were still in imperial prison.
After that, Wei Wang Chen Ran and Liang Wang Chen Wei, who were deposed as commoners and under house arrest in Beijing, were kidnapped to Bashu. Gao Zhongping plotted an uprising and was beheaded on the way to escape.
Each one of them, like a revolving lantern, is dazzling.
"King Wei, what exactly are you going to do?" Li Zan sighed in his heart, a dazed look appeared on his face, and he could faintly feel some connections.
Eliminate dissidents, intimidate ministers, and take sole power!
He was entrusted by Emperor Xianzong to support the country, but unfortunately Emperor Guangzong died young and his young master ascended the throne.
Is it possible that the Han family, which has held the world for hundreds of years, will be usurped by people with different surnames from now on?
Then Li Zan would also become a sinner of the Han Dynasty. How could he go to Jiuquan to meet Emperor Xianzong?
Li Zan sat silently on a lacquered wood chair, his thin, old face full of confusion.
At this moment, the chief minister of the cabinet felt a chill that was chilling to the bone.
In other words, Jia Heng's previous "killing and decisive" style made the chief minister of the cabinet feel suspicious and sensed something bad.
If King Wei dares to take another step forward, the civil servants from all over the world will definitely attack him. Even if he... is shattered to pieces, he still has to stop King Wei's ambition!
Li Zan was thinking this in his mind, and under his stern brows, there was a touch of determination in his eyes.
King Wei must not steal the prosperous Zhongxing era created by Emperor Xianzong!
In fact, a hundred years after the founding of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Chongping annihilated the Eastern Barbarians and implemented the New Deal, which suddenly pushed the Han Dynasty into a prosperous age. It was the period of prosperity.
For such a unified dynasty, it is not easy to seek to usurp the throne.
At this moment, an old servant in brown clothes entered the hall and said loudly: "Master, Mr. Xu from the Metropolitan Procuratorate has handed over a famous assassination and wants to visit the master."
When Li Zan heard this, he looked slightly surprised and thought to himself, "Xu Lu and Xu Deqing, what is he doing here?"
At today's court meeting, Xu Deqing was not in the Wenhua Hall. Could it be that he had heard the news?
Yes, today's incident caused such a big disturbance.
Xu Lu really heard the rumors. Gao Zhongping's sons Gao Bo and Gao Yong colluded with Chen Yuan, the remnant of the King of Zhao, to help Chen Ran and Chen Wei escape from Shenjing and go to Shu to cause trouble. Gao Zhongping wanted to escape.
Shenjing was eventually killed by Tiqi led by King Wei in pursuit.
Such a big thing is rapidly fermenting inside and outside the court of Shenjing as time goes by.
In the flower hall——
Xu Lu was dressed in official robes and casual clothes, and sat down on a pearwood chair. His face was as gloomy as iron, and there was a coldness in his eyes.
King Wei, I really misjudged him at first!
Even if Gao Zhongping really did something wrong, he should be handed over to the Three Laws Division to judge him. How could he be killed without permission?
How could a dignified Han cabinet minister be like this?
At this moment, a servant entered the side room and said, "Xu Zongxian, my master is here."
A look of surprise appeared on Li Zan's calm face, and he whispered: "Deqing."
Xu Lu stared at Li Zan, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes, and said warmly: "Mr. Li Ge."
I don't know why, at this moment, both of them felt a sense of sympathy for each other, as if their country was in trouble and its loyal ministers were missing.
Li Zan sat down on a pearwood chair, calmly and with an inexplicable meaning on his resolute face, and said: "Master Xu, I am here in a hurry this time."
Xu Lu said in a deep voice: "My subordinates have heard about what happened in the Wenhua Palace today, and King Wei returned with the head of the high-ranking elder."
Li Zan said: "The cabinet has followed the Queen Mother's decree and removed Gao Zhongping from his title."
Xu Lu frowned, looked aggressively, and asked: "What is Mr. Gao Ge's crime?"
Li Zan was silent for a moment and said: "Gao Zhongping must have indeed colluded with Chen Yuan, the remnant of King Zhao, and Gao Bo and Gao Yong were also let go by him. Jinyi Mansion's words are true."
This gave people a reason to collude with notorious people like Chen Yuan, and it was already proven.
Xu Lu said: "Mr. Gaoge is a lonely and important minister for Emperor Xianzong. He has been caring about his life for two generations. If he says it is rebellion, the lower officials will not believe it."
Li Zan said: "Yes, there must be a hidden secret in it."
Xu Lu was silent for a moment and whispered: "What do you think Mr. Ge is hiding?"
Li Zan said softly: "Chen Yuan, the remnant of King Zhao, persuaded Mr. Gao Ge, or Mr. Gao Ge discovered something."
The left and right are just the secrets of the palace.
Xu Lu nodded and said: "There are rumors that the current young master is not the son of Emperor Guangzong, but actually King Wei..."
Hearing this, Li Zan's calm and resolute face suddenly changed a little, and he said in a low voice: "Be virtuous and be careful in your words. Walls have ears."
As he spoke, with piercing eyes, he whispered: "Let's go to the study and talk."
Xu Lu nodded, said nothing else, and followed Li Zan to the study.
In the study room, the two of them took their seats again.
Xu Lu looked solemn, stared at Li Zan behind the lacquered wooden case, and said in a low voice: "Elder Ge, the situation is extremely dangerous now, and King Wei has developed a disobedient heart."
Li Zan sighed and said: "How could I not know? It's just that King Wei has already achieved great success, and he has won the trust of the Queen Mother in the palace. Even if we have the heart to help the country, we rarely have the honor of being righteous, and there are only a few people who can respond."
In this case, unless Jia Heng commits suicide and goes against the grain on major policies, causing refugees to spread all over the place and the people to be displaced.
Or Jia Heng himself might brazenly usurp the throne and arouse the hatred of everyone in the world.
Otherwise, we can only resort to palace coups in the name of the Queen Mother and the young master.
This is the real reason why Jia Heng keeps engaging in sausage-slicing tactics.
Xu Lu frowned, his eyes flashed aggressively, and he asked in a low voice: "Mr. Gao Ge went to Sichuan earlier."
Li Zan said: "With the soldiers and horses from the southwest to attack King Niqin, if you and I respond in the capital, we may be able to break the power of King Wei. But now that Gaoge Lao has died, it is difficult for the soldiers and horses in Shu to become a big force."
Previously, if Gao Zhongping escaped from the capital with the King of Wei and the King of Liang, he might still have some success.
However, at that time, the two kings of Wei and Liang and Chen Yuan were already under heavy surveillance of the Jinyi Mansion, and Gao Zhongping was the second minister of the cabinet. How could he make up his mind to abandon his official position and leave?
It is worth mentioning that it is impossible for the Jinyi Mansion to send spies and traitors into the high house.
Because, first of all, famous ministers like Gao Zhongping only have old servants at home.
Secondly, once such spying on cabinet ministers is discovered, it will inevitably cause an uproar in both the government and the public.
Therefore, Jinyi Mansion could only monitor from the periphery before.
Xu Lu was silent for a moment and said: "Mr. Ge, from now on, are we going to let King Wei continue to seize power and intimidate the ministers?"
"Hibernating, waiting for the right time. In a few days, the troops from the Beijing camp will be dispatched to Sichuan to quell the rebellion. Troops will be used in the northwest and Tibet. At that time, King Wei will be tired of fighting. You and I will go to the palace to explain the matter to the Queen Mother.
." Li Zan said in a deep voice.
At this time, it is true that there is no head-on confrontation, because Jia Heng has just claimed his righteousness, and except for the two cabinet ministers, no one can defeat him. If he continues to fight in the capital, he will lose his life.
When Xu Luwen heard this, he couldn't help but show a thoughtful look on his face, and then nodded, temporarily obeying Li Zan's words.
At the same time, the cabinet minister Qi Kun returned home equally uneasy, sat down, and remained silent for a long time.
The fierce behavior of King Wei today shows the appearance of a powerful owl.
Where should he go?
As a scholar-bureaucrat, Qi Kun was favored by Emperor Xianzong and wanted to support Yulong and repay his kindness.
But what can a scholar do if he has no power to tie a chicken?
As time passed, the news that Gao Zhongping, the second assistant to the cabinet, defected and was executed by Jia Heng spread throughout Shenjing.
Just as Jia Heng thought, people were panicking, and a turbulent undercurrent began to surge. In other words, it was the loyal ministers and righteous men of Chen Han who wanted to help the country after seeing King Wei's troubles in the country.
There were also some civil servants who were ambitious and wanted to advance in the civil service, and they began to show their loyalty to Jia Heng.
After all, after Gao Zhongping's death, there was a vacancy in the cabinet. After the cabinet ministers were replaced, according to common practice, there should be a vacancy in the cabinet.
Didn’t you see that Zhao Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, had attached himself to King Wei’s father-in-law’s family and entered the cabinet again?
As for Jia Zheng, who was still in Shenjing, his former colleague in the General Affairs Department of the central capital came to visit, and the Rongguo Mansion was filled with people and busy traffic.
As for Jia Heng's father-in-law, Qin Ye, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, there were also gradually more Liubu Tang officials who showed their good will.
Not everyone regarded Jia Heng as a rebellious official and a traitor. Some civil servants felt that although Jia Heng's methods were more radical, he was still doing it for the sake of the Han Dynasty.
…
…
The Jade Rabbit sets in the west and the Golden Crow rises in the east. Time flies. In the blink of an eye, two days pass by without even realizing it.
God's Jingcheng, Jingying——
"Dong dong..."
A cowhide drum was set up in the military tent. The sound of the drum was as dense as raindrops and deafening. In the barracks, there was constant sound of horse hooves, the sound of weapons and armor blades clashing, and the sound of chaotic footsteps one after another.
Inside the Chinese military barracks——
Jia Heng was dressed in a black and red satin python suit, with a resolute face as calm as water. He sat behind a lacquered wood desk, and a group of generals were seated on the pearwood chairs below.
There was order in the barracks.
All the familiar faces are Jia Heng’s trusted generals.
Jia Heng said: "In this battle in Bashu, we have a total of one hundred thousand soldiers and horses. Once a rebellion is launched, the momentum will be huge. Our Beijing camp army went out this time and selected elite soldiers and strong generals."
Speaking of this, Jia Heng turned to look at Xie Zaiyi, who was not far away, and said: "In this battle, Xie Zaiyi will lead the army, commanding 50,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, to reach Hanzhong and enter Shu to help suppress the White Lotus Demon.
There must be no mistakes!”
Xie Zaiyi, who was sitting on a red lacquered pear wood chair below, looked very solemn. He stood up, cupped his hands and said: "The last general takes orders."
Jia Heng immediately looked at Cai Quan with majestic eyes and said: "Cai Quan takes the lead in the daily training affairs of the Beijing camp, and all other generals and commanders follow."
Cai Quan cupped his hands and clasped his fists in response.
Jia Heng immediately gave instructions to the generals in the Beijing camp regarding the deployment of troops and horses in the 12th regiment camp.
After everything was settled, Jia Heng returned to Ningguo's mansion.
At this moment, Chen Xiao quickly stepped forward to greet him, his cold and frosty face covered with a layer of solemnity, and said: "Please check the military report sent by the Hami Guard."
Jia Heng looked solemn, reached out and took the military report from Chen Xiao's hand, lowered his eyes, read it, and said coldly: "The Junggar side has already mobilized troops."
Chen Xiao raised her eyebrows, her eyes were as cold as ice, and she said warmly: "The red cannon was transported the day before yesterday and is on its way now."
Jia Heng said: "In the past few days, let Jinyi Mansion re-establish control over Shenjing City, and we must not cause any more trouble."
Chen Xiao's eyes were cold and sparkling, and he responded softly.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'll go into the palace later."
In addition to visiting Mopan and her son, I also want to see Tian Niuer.
Chen Yuan was right when he said that he was filthy and disruptive to the palace. Now it is indeed forbidden to enter and leave the palace. He can come and go as he pleases, but he only has to live in the meantime.
Kunning Palace, in the palace
Zhen Qing was wearing a plain dress and was teasing a pair of twins. After Gao Zhongping's death, this beauty felt at ease again.
"Empress Dowager, King Wei is here." At this moment, a tall and beautiful female official quickly walked into the palace, bowed to Zhen Qing Yingying, and said softly.
Zhen Qing gently shook a rattle, her fragrant and jade-skinned face was filled with joy and brightness, and under her emerald eyebrows, her dazzling phoenix eyes were as bright as rainbows.
Immediately, Jia Heng quickly walked into the Nuan Pavilion, saluted Zhen Qing, and said, "I have seen the Queen Mother, and she is a thousand years old."
Zhen Qing looked at the boy in the python suit and said, "Get flat."
While speaking, he ordered the female officials standing around to leave the place.
"Come and see your son and daughter." Zhen Qing said softly.
This bastard really doesn't care about his own children at all.
There was an unnatural look on Jia Heng's face and he said, "It will have a bad impact if the two children hear it."
Zhen Qing had a look of shame and annoyance on her face as she said, "They are still young, what do they still remember now?"
While Jia Heng was talking, he quickly walked closer and took the cute baby's soft hand. He felt a little bit of joy in his heart and said with a smile: "It looks like he has grown up a little bit more."
Seeing this scene, Zhen Qing, under her curved eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water, and whispered: "It changes every day. If you don't take the child with you, if you look over it, it will look bigger."
Jia Heng looked a little weird and didn't say much else. He just held his daughter Yin Yin's slender hand and said, "Come here and let daddy take a look."
The cute little girl raised her pink and jade-carved face, her bright eyes were like black grapes, and they kept turning.
As Jia Heng said this, he picked up his cute little baby and gave it a kiss. The sweet fragrance of soft milk flowed between his nostrils.
Yinyin giggled non-stop, her face became softer and more adorable.
At this moment, Chen Jie, a young child not far away, stretched out his chubby little hands. A blush appeared on both sides of his plump and lovely face, and his eyes sparkled.
Under Zhen Qing's eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were crystal clear. She stared at the boy in the python suit and whispered: "Okay, don't make trouble with them two."
Jia Heng couldn't help but feel speechless for a moment.
He loves the child too much, and the mother is even jealous.
Jia Heng placed his daughter in the cradle, turned around, looked at Zhen Qing with warm eyes, and whispered: "How have you been these past few days? Well, you look better."
"Thanks to you, I can finally get a good night's sleep these days." Zhen Qing's beautiful face was as red as drunkenness, and there was a hint of shame in her cold eyes as she whispered.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he reached out and gently hugged Zhen Qing's shoulders, and whispered: "While you are in Beijing during this time, take good care of your child."
As he spoke, he put one hand into the plump and soft body in front of the beauty.
Well, since I gave birth to two children, I have become more plump and flexible.
Zhen Qing couldn't help but snorted slightly, her graceful and gorgeous face was covered with beautiful blush on both sides, and she stretched out her hand to open Jia Heng's arm.
"The child is still here." Zhen Qing said angrily, her cheeks flushed with shame.
Jia Heng turned around, facing two pairs of eyes that were as lively as black grapes, and felt a little funny for a moment.
"Okay, let's go to the inner room to talk."
Zhen Qing said softly: "I asked grandma to look after the two of them."
Wait until grandma takes the two little guys away.
Zhen Qing was like a ball of blazing flames, coming towards her, and immediately, the two lips that looked like rose petals came close to cover them.
Immediately, Jia Heng hugged Zhen Qing's slender neck like a swan. After a while, he was leaning in front of Zhen Qing, lying in it, and began to feast.
Under Zhen Qing's plump eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as tender as water, and soon her delicate body trembled non-stop.
After her lover had been fooling around for a while, Zhen Qing's plump and lovely face turned red with shame. She stood up and knelt down to serve the young man in the python suit.
I don't know how long it took, but Jia Heng suddenly put his arms around Zhen Qing's shoulders and looked at that delicate body as soft as silkworms. His mind moved slightly and he didn't say much else.
Under Zhen Qing's beautiful eyebrows, there seemed to be a hint of surprise in her long, narrow, clear eyes, and she said happily: "You see how much Jie'er looks like you, he will definitely become a wise king in the future."
Jia Heng's strange thoughts became more and more obvious.
I always felt that Mopan was worried that he would dethrone his son from the throne, so he deliberately used such words to criticize him.
Zhen Qing Cuili's slender eyebrows were as curved as black daisy, her eyes were filled with water, and she said, "Speak, what are you thinking about?"
Jia Heng said repeatedly: "Well, it looks very similar. I will definitely be able to be a good emperor in the future."
Zhen Qing felt a surge of joy in her heart and said softly: "You will also teach him when the time comes. When he is older, I will let him worship you as his second father."
Jia Heng felt a strange feeling in his heart, grabbed the plump and soft body in front of Zhen Qing, and whispered: "Afu, after all, he is not his father?"
Zhen Qing said angrily: "Don't think about it, it will never be possible in this life."
Even if the child is older in the future, it will be difficult for her to tell the child who her biological father is. Otherwise, how will the child view her in the future?
Speaking of this, Jia Heng's heart suddenly moved slightly and he said: "At a certain time, we can issue a decree and make him the regent."
When Zhen Qing heard this, her blushing face was as bright as fire, and she said softly: "Prince Regent? The ministers at home and abroad will probably regard you as a traitor and traitor."
Just now, this man even had the head of a minor minister in the cabinet displayed in front of everyone in the palace. Now the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty have long had a grudge against him.
Jia Heng didn't say much else. He took the beauty's slender hand and then gently hugged the beauty's plump body and said, "Qing'er, I've missed you a little these past few days."
While speaking, Jia Heng suddenly took Zhen Qing's slender hand and walked towards the back room.
Zhen Qing was looking condescendingly at the young man in python suit, and whispered: "This war cannot be delayed for too long, it must be decided as soon as possible."
Jia Heng said: "Don't worry, don't be too eager to win and make any mistakes again."
Zhen Qing's fragrant skin is as bright as clouds, her eyes are as bright as water, and the pearl flowers on her beautiful bun are swaying gently.
The two of them already knew each other well.
At this moment, Jia Heng gently held Zhen Qing's plump waist. The old horse knew the way and returned to its old place.
After a while, the clouds closed and the rain stopped, and Zhen Qing nestled in Jia Heng's arms, listening to the pounding heartbeat in her chest, and a sweetness surged in her heart.
