Chapter Thirty-Seven: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars
Qi Daode howled and cried.
"You are an old immortal, and you are still hard-mouthed when you die!" Zong Ai wanted to step forward and make up for it.
Jia Zhou hurriedly stopped Zong Ai and said regretfully: "He can't do it anymore!"
Suddenly, the laughter stopped abruptly. There is no more laughter, no more fighting, no more His Majesty today—the man who carries the burden of the south, cuts the traces of the north, outlines the four tables, and mixes the glory.
This Yingtu Wuluo, who never gave in, bowed his head forever.
In addition to Zong Ai, Jia Zhou and others all knelt on the ground to mourn the death of this generation of heroes.
Such a death really chilled the hearts of the soldiers.
Outside the hall, heavy snow fell one after another, as if a special wedding was being held for them.
This winter, it's too cold.
The news that the Taihua Hall was besieged was immediately spreading. Soon, it reached Tuoba Yu's ears, hearing that his father had been stabbed to death by Zong Ai, Tuoba Yu was sincerely afraid, he didn't know what he was doing, let alone what to do.
Why did Zongai know about his plot?
Now that Zong Ai has mutinied, Tuoba Yu feels that the people standing in front of him are some traitorous villains with human faces and beast hearts.
Tuoba Yu sat on the dragon chair and muttered, "The next one is me!" ……”
Zong Ai did not kill Tuoba Yu, but only put him under house arrest in an abandoned Buddhist hall.
It turned out that he wanted to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, but in fact, he wanted to keep Tuoba Yu to help him stabilize the courtiers.
Tuoba Tao was newly deceased, and the new emperor was in danger, and Shangshu's left servants shot Lan Yan, Shizhong and Xue Ti and others, but did not dare to announce Tuoba Tao's death, but blocked the news of Tuoba Tao's funeral.
Fortunately, Lan Yan, He Kai, and Xue Ti are all loyal, and there is no malice this time.
Early one morning, several people conspired on political affairs.
Xue Ti first said: "The Taishang Emperor is funeral, the new emperor is under house arrest again, and there is no one in the imperial court to preside over it, so it is only up to Dezong to love Hu, if this continues, won't our Great Wei be in a mess?"
Lan Yan replied: "Yes! Because of this, I think that at present, the only way to succeed to the throne is to choose a candidate to succeed the throne as soon as possible. ”
He Kai also opened his mouth and said, "I don't know if you have any recommended candidates?"
"I think that the grandson of the emperor has great talents, and he is outstanding among many princes and grandsons, and he has participated in political affairs before, and his wisdom and strategy are deeply loved by the emperor. Therefore, I think it is most appropriate to follow the ancestral system and push it to the top. Xue Ti said from the bottom of his heart.
Lan Yan said: "Emperor Sun is indeed a talent, follow the ancestral system, and it is natural to promote him to the throne, but now in this situation, it is no longer possible to judge candidates according to ordinary hearts." If the emperor and grandson ascend the throne, I am afraid that Zong Ai will lead troops to force the palace at any time, so we need to find someone who has more soldiers and more power than him to suppress them! I thought about it and felt that only the King of Dongping had the ability to suppress them at the moment. Therefore, I elect the king of Dongping. ”
He Kai then said: "Yes! Oh, yes! The grandson of the emperor is still young, if he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, I am afraid that he will also be held hostage by Zongai, and the king of Dongping has a heavy army, and he has been famous in the DPRK for a long time, pushing him to the throne can not only solve the urgent need, but also make the ministers submit. Therefore, I also recommend Dongping Wang. What do you think, ladies and gentlemen? ”
The ministers nodded in unison.
"What the two adults said is reasonable, but I don't know what this Dongping King wants? I heard that King Dongping just likes to fight and read, and he doesn't want to be bound by the affairs of the imperial court! Shetty said again.
"This ......"
Everyone looked at each other.
"It seems that only I invite the prince into the palace, discuss this matter in detail, and then make a decision!" Lan Yanchang breathed a sigh of relief and said silently.
So, Lan Yan and the others decided to secretly invite Tuoba Han into the palace.
The plot was originally extremely secret, but it was passed on to Zong Ai by a minister who participated in the plot.
Zong Ai usually hates the upright Tuoba Han, and several princes and grandsons are only closely related to Tuoba Yu, and now he knows that the ministers intend to promote Tuoba Han as the emperor, and all the princes are enemies of him, and he only hates it in his heart, and a thought instantly springs up in his mind.
On the one hand, Zong Ai sent people to disguise themselves as Lan Yan's cronies, and went out of the palace to invite Tuoba Han first, and on the other hand, he falsely passed on the edict of the Empress Dowager Helian and summoned the ministers to the Taihua Hall to wait.
Tuoba Han, Genga, and Gao Yun, who were stationed outside Pingcheng Jing, heard that someone was coming from the palace, so they hurried to meet them outside the tent.
The three of them, who had already seen everything in the court, were very strange when they saw someone coming.
When the warrior saw the salute, he immediately said: "Lord Qiyu, the left servant of Shangshu shoots Lan Yan, and Lord Lan sent a villain to invite the prince into the palace, saying that there is something important to discuss."
Gao Yun looked hesitant and asked, "Do you know what you're talking about?"
The warrior replied: "Lord Lan said that he invited the prince to discuss the matter of ascending the throne. It's a matter of urgency, and I ask the prince to leave quickly and go back with the villain, so that the little one can make a difference. ”
"You go and rest for a while, and the prince will go later!" Gao Yun sent the people back, and then returned to the account with Tuoba Han and Yuan He.
Gao Yun opened his mouth and said, "This warrior said that he was sent by Lord Lanyan, and invited the prince into the palace to discuss the matter of the throne......"
Gao Yun fell into deep thought.
Yuan He was confused, and asked strangely, "What are you thinking?" Is there anything wrong with this man? ”
"It's nothing, it's just that I feel a little sinister in my heart, it's hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and I feel a little uneasy in my heart." Gao Yun is also unpredictable.
"What do you mean, sir?" Tuoba Han was puzzled.
"Well, the minister thinks that this is logically speaking, His Majesty has died, the King of Nan'an is under house arrest, and the throne is vacant. It's just that this warrior said that he was sent by Lord Lan, but there is no token to prove it, and the minister is only afraid that this matter will be used by Zong Ai, so he set a trap to lead the prince into the palace. Therefore, the minister thinks that this matter is both true and false, and it is very dangerous! Gao Yun talked eloquently, and the head of the analysis was the Tao.
"Then is the king going or not going on this trip?" Tuoba Han asked again.
"I don't know! This matter is dangerous, if there is a holiday, the prince may ...... There is no place to bury you! The minister does not recommend that the prince enter the palace, so you still need to be cautious! Gao Yun's face was solemn, and he was in a dilemma.
"But...... If this king doesn't go, but this matter is true, wouldn't this king live up to the hard work of the Lan people? How can this king still have the face to meet the ministers of the court in the future? No, this king must go! "Let him be a coward, and Tuoba Han will definitely not do it.
"Don't be impulsive! Don't put yourself at risk! You need to listen to adults! "Genga tried to persuade him.
"You don't need to stop you, this king has made up his mind. This time the king is imperative, only when the king is in danger to explore the reality, we can prepare early. You and Mr. are in the camp, arrange everything, if it is really as Mr. said, fall into the trap, then the king can only resign himself to fate. Besides, this king is brave and good at fighting, and he has fought so many battles, but he is not so easy to deal with. Put your heart in your belly for a while, and wait for the king to return. Tuoba Han said with a serious face.
