Chapter 5 The Changguang of the Qi Kingdom
Just when Yu Wenshen was about to go to the "Three Visits to the Thatched House", two mysterious people, who walked into the mansion of the two sons of Tsukasa Yuwen Hu, respectively walked into the mansion of Yu Wenxun and Yu Wenshen and told such a same story to Yu Wenxun and Yu Wenshen respectively.
In the palace of a high wall and deep courtyard, the main hall is brightly lit.
One person sat high on the throne on the top, with a crown robe and jade belt and cloud shoes, although the dress was luxurious, but his expression was very depressed.
On the desk in front of him, there was a set of filial piety clothes scattered, in the brightly lit hall, it was miserable, and there was a sword lying next to it, lonely.
At this time, a person slowly walked up from the main hall, plain clothes and cloth shoes, a lupine scarf, with delicate eyebrows and a calm face.
The person on the throne remained motionless, and when the man approached, he sneered: "Mr. Lan rarely comes to this front hall, today this king is wearing the crown court dress given by the emperor, is Mr. specially here to admire?" It's okay, come and see, is this crown court dress majestic? With that, he got up and raised his arms flat, holding his head a little exaggerated.
The man known as Mr. Lan stood with his hands down, bowed slightly, and said calmly: "The new King of Changguang of Great Qi, the ninth brother of His Majesty today, how can he not be majestic? β
The person on the throne is none other than Gao Zhan, the king of Changguang of the Qi State who has just been promoted today.
Gao Zhan lowered his arms, picked up the sword on the desk, unsheathed the sword, pointed directly at the palace gate, and laughed: "In Daqi, this king is above 10,000 people under one person, what can be done?" But this sword in the king's hand hangs above his head all the time, and the woman whom the king loves is now lying in someone else's arms, you say, what is the use of this throne? β
With that, he threw the sword in his hand to the ground, followed by a long burst of miserable and even somewhat maniacal laughter.
Mr. Nalan walked over slowly, bent down to pick up the sword on the ground, and said while admiring it: "Your Majesty has issued two holy decrees today, what does the prince know?" β
Gao Zhan still sneered: "You are the strategist I hired for 100,000 taels of silver, so I have to ask you." How can you ask me? β
Mr. Lan still looked at the sword and said, smiled, and said: "The prince is wrong, it is ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels, since the prince has spoken, then Lan will talk about it." β
Mr. Lan held the sword in his hand, slashed the tip of the sword to the ground, shook the feather fan, and said: "Today, Your Majesty has issued two wills, first, to entitle you as the king of Changguang. Second, deposed the prince for a hundred years and demoted him to the king of Leling. Although the prince is young, he is also a son-in-law, smart and studious, and there is no fault, why should Your Majesty block his path to the emperor, according to the current situation, the prince has not yet established the year, and went north to meet the Turks, making the Turks frightened, opening up the territory and expanding the territory, making the Qi country stronger and stronger, the credit is not much, the power is not small, the position is high, the reputation is prominent, the Qi country only knows His Majesty and the prince, I don't know that there is a prince, such a situation......"
"Meritorious and high-spirited? One mountain does not allow two tigers? Gao Zhan said with a sneer.
"The history books are bloodstained with the king's generals, and it seems a bit clichΓ© here." Mr. Lan did not agree with the words of this prince.
"Then please sir, say something good." Gao Zhan tilted his neck and said,
"According to the following analysis, Your Majesty should be able to teach the Dharma Zen Yao Shun and cede the throne to the prince, otherwise it will ......" Mr. Lan said halfway.
"Zen Rang, still Yao Shun? Is he such a sage king? Saying that, Gao Zhan picked up the filial piety clothes on the case, shook it in front of Mr. Lan, and continued: "He is clearly afraid that this king is the same as him, robbing his own nephew of the throne, poor my eldest brother, I am the emperor of Qi Xianzu Wenxuan, wise for half a life, old and faint, such a wolf ambition person as a lonely minister, poor Yin Er, only reigned for one hundred and nine days, he was taken the opportunity by Gao Yan to try to usurp the throne, and now, he was brutally killed, such an emperor, even if he passed the throne to this king before he died, It's just that he wants to save his son's life for a hundred years, such a sixth brother, do you still want me to be grateful to him? β
"Lord Prudence!" Mr. Lan reminded.
"What are you afraid of, they don't mourn secretly, and this king will wear linen and filial piety, and don't you do the courtesy? Besides, there is Mr. Lan in this king's house, are you afraid that those little ghosts will not succeed? Gao Zhan roared.
"Hades is so annoying, and the little ghost is difficult. Thank you for your trust. Then Mr. Lan whispered: "The prince has been taught by the ancestors since he was a child, Wen Tao Wuluo, everything is outstanding, the ancestors have died for four years, the prince still remembers it, today I learned that the king of Jinan, the emperor of Xun, was murdered, the prince is still wearing linen and filial piety, it can be seen that the prince's loyalty, but the prince's loyalty is loyal in the eyes of the world, but in the eyes of His Majesty, the prince is missing the ancestor who died, and he is also remembering the son of the usurped ancestor, which is very bad for the prince." Mr. Lan shook his head.
"The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest brother treats me, it's really ...... It's hateful that I'm incompetent, I haven't been able to keep my eldest brother's bloodline! Gao Zhan sat down weakly in grief.
"So, in my opinion, Your Majesty never believed that you would be loyal to him, and that you would not bow down to his son. Therefore, it is simply clear that the deposed prince will be passed on to the prince in the future, but the deposed prince is false, and it is true to use the high-ranking official Houlu of the extremely popular minister and the Denglong Yinuo of the Ninety-Five Emperor to confuse the prince, Your Majesty is not a big deal with you, and there will be opportunities to deal with the prince in the future, and it is not certain who will kill the deer. Mr. Lan analyzed.
Gao Zhan seemed to quickly come out of his sad mood. Hurriedly asked, "What should the king do?" β
"First, go to the table, enter the palace, and thank you. The second is to hand over the big seal of the border army, and the third is to let the prince enter the palace. Fourth, secretly prepare for big things! Mr. Lan said solemnly.
Gao Zhan muttered: "First, there is no problem, but handing over the border seal is equivalent to handing over the military power, once there is a change, how can you protect yourself?" There is also a son, Wei'er is still young......"
"Lord Wang!" Mr. Lan interrupted Gao Zhan's words and continued to say earnestly: "Lord Wang, since ancient times, the premise of the struggle for power and conspiracy must be that all parties are evenly matched, or contain each other. At present, His Majesty has shown weakness, and the prince must not be aggressive, otherwise he will mobilize his sword and cause civil strife, and the Turks in the north and the Yuwen family in the west will wait for us to take the opportunity to attack us."
Gao Zhan was silent. Seeing this, Mr. Lan continued: "Therefore, we must find the right opportunity, win with a lightning strike, control the situation as soon as possible, and sit in that position safely, which is one of the reasons why it is recommended to hand over the border seal, Lord Wang, you think, what do you want to do with the border seal, even if there is a change, can the distant water quench the thirst?" Hand over the big seal over there, Your Majesty can rest assured, the prince is safe. β
"However, in this way, there are no soldiers in hand, why do you have an incident?" Gao Zhan was still not at ease.
"The prince has been on the border for many years, and many of the people under his command who can fight well have been transferred to the forbidden army, as long as the prince makes good use of these people, the defenders of Yecheng and its surroundings, the prince can mobilize some of them." Mr. Lan said,
"This is thanks to Mr. for taking a long-term view and making such preparations early." Gao Zhan seemed to agree with Mr. Lan's statement.
"After more than two years in the mansion, the prince did not give up, and only did two things, the first is to accompany the prince to study. Second, it is to control people, whether it is the eyeliner planted elsewhere, or the officials everywhere, whether it is to dismiss people, kill people or employ people, it is all for the purpose of raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while. Mr. Lan's understatement reveals great confidence.
"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, when is this time? My beloved Man'er has been waiting for me for three years......" Gao Zhan sighed a little.
"Lord Wang, this time is not far away, as long as the Lord follows the deployment below, he will have an eighty percent chance of winning." Mr. Lan stared at Gao Zhan and said.
"How? Please sir," Gao Zhan asked.
Mr. Lan put down the sword in his hand, put away the feather fan, and said: "Tomorrow, when the prince enters the palace, he has to do several things like this, the first is to thank him, the second is to hand over the seal, and the third is to arrange two people, all of this is to stabilize His Majesty, only when Your Majesty relaxes his vigilance, is it time for us to do it!" β
β¦β¦
The two planned until midnight, and the next morning, Gao Zhan entered the palace.
At the court meeting, Gao Zhan respectfully bowed to the thank you table, and then handed over the border seal on the grounds that there was no more war at the border pass. His fourth brother, Gao Yan, the current emperor of the Qi State, looked satisfied.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Emperor Gao Yan and Gao Zhan went to the queen mother's bedroom together to visit their common mother.
On the way, Emperor Qi casually asked his younger brother Gao Zhan, who was following behind him, as he walked, "That Huo Qiang is your soldier, right?" β
Gao Zhan was overjoyed in his heart, Mr. Lan really expected things to happen, and the emperor really mentioned Huo Qiang, but he still didn't change his face and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Huo Qiang used to be a general under the account of his younger brother for three years. β
Emperor Qi still walked and said: "Oh, it's also a battle-hardened battle, his old son recently gave me a table, saying that he is old and frail, and the younger son is not successful, and he is ready to let the eldest son come back to send him to the end and take care of the family in the future, after all, he has been with me for more than ten years, and I still have to take care of this point, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty's compassion for the ministers with a forgiving heart is the blessing of Lord Huo's family, and it is also the blessing of the ministers." Gao Zhan returned respectfully.
"Well, you and I are compatriots of the same mother, you handed in the border seal this morning, and I didn't stop it, because the Queen Mother didn't want you to go out with troops, the sword and gun have no eyes, the battlefield is dangerous, and the Queen Mother and I don't want you to have anything," Emperor Qi turned around, looked at Gao Zhan with kind eyes and said.
