Chapter 218: The Wind Rises
In the majestic and solemn palace, there is a strange atmosphere. In the oppressive atmosphere, the palace reverberates with the sound of the bell, echoing in everyone's heart.www.biquge.info
Emperor Yonghe of Jin Mu was five years old, and Emperor Wu of Zhao was 54 years old.
A copper phoenix on the top of the Fengyang Gate suddenly fell, and it glided down from the 100-meter air with its wings open, crossed a long arc, and fell into the water of the Zhanghe River. The other phoenix seems to be shaking off the ground. People hurriedly fastened its feet with iron nails. On the top of the city tower, the lonely phoenix overlooks the turmoil in Yecheng ...
For Shi Hu's death, some people are happy and some are sad, Shi Hu's death was too sudden, and the people who were about to move have not yet reacted. There is not a trace of wind, just like the sudden prank of an innocent child. However, they knew that this was a planned usurpation.
Because Shi Hu was the king's body honorable, he avoided a comprehensive inspection, and claimed that he died of a sudden illness. And Shi Shi, he is the prince who is most likely to sit on the throne. Shi Hu died suddenly, and he sat on the throne with lightning speed.
General Jianjie led his ministers to support Shi Shi, and Shi Shi was already ready, so it was no surprise that he became the emperor.
After all the ceremonies, Shi Shi's throne was firmly seated, and gradually, his true nature was revealed. Like his father, before Shi Hu became emperor, he was a fierce general under Shi Le, brave and good at fighting. Shi Shi is also a person with brains, and he has exhausted all the organs for the throne. But once they get what they want, they don't know what to do next. Shi Shi had always planned to seize the throne, but he had never thought about what he would do after taking the throne.
He began to relax himself, indulging in what the throne had to offer. Ran Min never had expectations for Shi Shi, he knew what kind of person Shi Shi was. As a stepping stone, Shi Shi did a good job, but he was not worthy of managing a country and becoming an emperor.
However, even so, Ran Min didn't think about pulling him off the throne. Shi Shi will be easier to control than Shi Hu's other sons, and will not pose a threat to him. Yin Luren's incident hit him too hard, he couldn't let it go, and he couldn't get out. Ran Min still holds Yin Luren's heart every day, as if Yin Luren is still there.
And all this was broken because of one thing, although Ran Min had no intention of going to government, those guys in the court were not fuel-efficient lamps. They will see the situation most clearly, although Shi Shi has ascended the throne, he has just realized the benefits of power, and naturally has no intention of ruling the government. Moreover, he is likely to become the next Shi Hu, brutal and suspicious. And Ran Min is the person who assists Shi Shi in the upper position, and he is also the most trusted person in Shi Shi now.
Rather than currying favor with the future 'Shi Hu', a colleague who can sway the emperor would be better. Therefore, the officials in the DPRK and China all fell to Ran Min, and Ran Min had the absolute right to speak in the court. Gradually, the muddy Shi Shi also saw that he seemed to be a little too indulgent to Ran Min. It is a very dangerous thing for a courtier to have more control than himself.
However, Ran Min is a talented person, and he can see that Ran Min has no obsession with the throne. There's no need to erase a general's talent for this matter, but you can't let it go like that. In order to balance the court's tendencies, Shi Shi publicly pointed out a courtier's daughter of his own family to marry him.
Ran Min, who was pointed at the soul, was extremely indignant, except for Yin Luren, he didn't want to marry anyone. He disregarded Shi Shi's proposed marriage in public, Shi Shi's face was very bad, and he immediately became angry. The two of them were arguing in the court, if it wasn't for Shi Zhan to stop Ran Min in time, I'm afraid Ran Min would have to say something rebellious.
Ran Min had no choice but to accept this marriage, and the already bad relationship between the two suddenly became even more stiff. Through this matter, he also let Ran Min know that if he doesn't hold power in his own hands, there will never be so-called freedom!
Just as Ran Min figured it out, Shi Hu's ninth son, Shi Zun, came to the door. The current Ran Min is the courtier with the most real power, and if Shi Zun wants to take the throne from Shi Shi, Ran Min will be a good stepping stone. He wanted Ran Min to assist him and force Shi Shi to take the throne. In fact, Shi Zun has been preparing for this matter for a long time, but Ran Min is always lukewarm to the position, and he seems to be quite satisfied with Shi Shi. If he talked to Ran Min at that time, he would definitely disgust Ran Min, and maybe Shi Shi would discover his ambitions.
However, this time is different, there is a rift between them. This is the best time for Shi Zun.
As far as the emperor is concerned, Shi Zun will do better than Shi Shi, but he doesn't have the luck of Shi Shi. Shi Shi is the crown prince, and he is more prepared and ambitious than him. Compared to Shi Shi, Shi Zun was a little hesitant, he had to be 100% sure to rush forward. It is also because of this temperament that Shi Hu doesn't like him very much, and often forgets his existence.
However, it was because of this temperament that Shi Zun persuaded Ran Min, and Ran Min agreed to assist Shi Zun and help him ascend to the throne.
Shi Zun joined forces with Ran Min to abolish Shi Shi and Shi Zun ascended the throne. Soon after Shi Zun ascended the throne, foreign enemies sprung up, and in order to protect his family and defend the country, Ran Min recommended himself to go to the front line to kill the enemy. General Jianjie walked along, and before leaving, Shi Zun said to Ran Min, "Work hard, after your triumphant return, let you be the prince!" ”
Ran Min's heart is complicated, but more moved.
In that war, Ran Min defeated the scene of being outnumbered by the enemy with the advantage of terrain, and at the same time, he also paid a heavy price. Jianjie's general Shi Zhan, also known as Ran Min's father, died in this battle. Ran Min won the victory, but lost his father ...
The people in the world who make Ran Min look at it more than life are gone, no matter how high the title, no matter how loud the cheers, Ran Min will turn a deaf ear. I wanted to live desperately because I wanted to find Yin Luren, and I wanted to mix better in the palace for my father, but now, they are gone. What's the use of trying hard to have it? It's just that it's too cold to be in high places.
When Ran Min was most depressed, something happened that made him extremely angry, and that was Shi Zun. Before leaving, Shi Zun patted his chest and said that after his triumphant return, he would make him the crown prince. Although Ran Min was not interested in these, he had been moved by this promise. But now, telling him that the thing that once moved him was a lie, it was as if telling him that he had been a fool.
A huge feeling of being deceived blocked in Ran Min's chest, and after these things, Ran Min was even more determined to hold the power in his own hands to be freer. He began to control more real power, after Ran Min served as the governor, in charge of the internal and external military power, he appeased the generals in the palace and the former East Palace Gao Li more than 10,000 people, declared them all as the palace generals, and entered the lord as the marquis of Guanwai, gave them palace maids, and established their own kindness.
Shi Zun was not afraid of him, but when he decided to win over this wild horse, he had already thought about today. Shi Zun changed the title and its praise and disapproval to suppress Ran Min's power, and many people became resentful. He also adopted the strategy of Meng Zhun and Wang Luan, the general of the Left Guard, who was a little suspicious of Ran Min and gradually seized his military power.
Ran Min was even more dissatisfied with Shi Zun, so he was determined to fight Shi Zun to the end. After seeing Ran Min's various actions, Shi Zun's subordinates proposed to assassinate Ran Min...
