Chapter 943: The Scourge of Childish Words
"These eunuchs who should be cut by a thousand knives, kill my clan, kill my imperial grandfather, kill my father, when I grow up, I must kill them one by one!"
In the harem, the seven-year-old little emperor Li Xiu was furious, and slashed his sword on the table, cutting a deep gap.
Several old eunuchs were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly waved their hands and said, "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing!" ”
"Why can't you say that? If they dare to do it, I dare not say it? ”
"Your Majesty, you are still too young, there are many things you don't understand, these words can't be said nonsense, there will be a fatal disaster, and it will be.... It will also affect us. Several eunuchs almost pleaded with the little emperor.
Li Xiu snorted, the master was right, it was a group of cowards who had no eggs.
Li Xiu's heart was troubled, when will she grow up? in order to avenge his father's hatred.
.........
A quarter of an hour later, the secret agent next to the little emperor Li Xiu reported to Ju Wenzhen, a fierce light flashed in Ju Wenzhen's eyes, and he said coldly: "This is the second time!" ”
"Back to the princess, the little emperor's mood is indeed unstable during this time. It should have been bewitched by his master. ”
"I think that's how it should be, go ahead! Continue to monitor his every move and keep you back to me. ”
The eunuch saluted and hurried away.
Ju Wenzhen took a few steps in the room, then left the room and headed towards the headquarters of the Shence Army.
In the general office of the Shence Army, Huo Xianming and Dou Wenchang listened to Ju Wenzhen's report, and Huo Xianming asked in a thin voice, "How old is he this year?" ”
"He was born in Otsuki, so he should be seven years old."
"How much do you know at seven?" Next to Dou Wenchang said. ‘
"I think it should be the indoctrination of his master Wang Xian, so he is full of hatred for us in his heart, and this son will be a harm when he grows up."
Dou Wenchang sighed softly, "People don't hurt the heart of the tiger, but the tiger has the intention of devouring people!" ”
Ju Wenzhen hurriedly said: "Immortal Weng and Dou Weng, what are the opinions of the two?" ”
Huo Xianming said slowly: "In the selection of the emperor, it is related to our vital interests, and we must not be careless, let alone have the kindness of a woman." ”
Dou Wenchang also nodded, "I agree with the meeting of the two, he will be ten years old in a blink of an eye, and I can't keep him." ”
In a few words, the fate of the little emperor was decided, and Ju Wenzhen said: "Now that the Li Tang clan is withered, it is difficult to find young children. ”
"I remember that Li Yu didn't leave a posthumous child? It seems to be called Li Wen. Huo Xianming frowned.
"Xian Weng, that kid has a brain problem, he's three years old, and he still can't speak, he doesn't pay attention to people, and he lives in his own world all day long."
Dou Wenchang sneered and said, "Isn't it good to have a problem with your brain?" Do we want to raise a wise and martial emperor to ascend to the throne? ”
Ju Wenzhen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly patted his forehead and said, "I'm really confused, Dou Weng is right, I know what to do." ”
Huo Xianming pondered for a while and said: "This matter should be done safely, first let him fall ill, then his condition will worsen step by step, and finally he will not be cured, and his master will not move for the time being, and when he goes to the south to inspect next year, he will let him die of illness on the road." ”
"Don't worry, I will do things safely."
........
After a few days, it rained several times in a row, and the little emperor Li Xiu was drenched in the rain in the harem, fell ill, and his condition worsened day by day, causing pneumonia, which dragged on for a month, and finally died of illness at the age of seven.
Ju Wenzhen immediately convened the civil and military, set up the three-year-old child Li Wen as the new emperor, changed the name of the year to Yonghe, and the queen mother immediately named Ju Wenzhen as the Taishi, Huo Xianming as the Taifu, and Dou Wenchang as the Taibao, and the three of them were in charge of military affairs.
On the day of the funeral, Ju Wenzhen personally wore linen and filial piety for Li Xiu's funeral, crying to death, and mourning all over the city.
At this time, there began to be a lot of discussion in the city, the new little emperor was a fool, the news reached the ears of Ju Wenzhen, he was immediately furious, and ordered the Zuoyintai warriors to monitor the whole city, and those who dared to argue that the Son of Heaven was a fool were arrested and severely punished.
Zuoyintai warriors acted everywhere, and arrested more than 1,000 people on the same day, each of whom was beaten with a hundred sticks, and cut off their tongues before putting them back, Chengdu City was full of shock, and the people of Shishu were silent, and no one dared to talk about the new Son of Heaven.
The young emperor fell ill, the new young emperor ascended the throne, and the queen mother specially sent people to Chang'an to inform Guo Song, the king of Jin.
In fact, Guo Song received a message from Feiying in the afternoon of the next day, and he immediately convened an emergency meeting in the Counselor's Hall, except for Liu Zi, who was not in Chang'an as the pacification envoy of Hebei, the other six counselors were all sitting.
Zhang Qianyi asked: "Your Highness, should we be all over the city and stop for three days to mourn the death of the Son of Heaven?" ”
Guo Song groaned and said: "These things should be done, but not now, we have not received official information, we must wait for the official news to come, and then we will hold a proper mourning." ”
Pan Liao also said: "Your Highness is right, we must do what we need to do, everything is in accordance with the rules, and no one will be given the opportunity to criticize us." ”
Guo Song said to everyone again: "To be honest, I think the death of the Son of Heaven is a bit strange, I am very concerned about this young Son of Heaven, he has always been in good health, rarely gets sick, how can he suddenly fall ill, it is said that it is raining, but even if the children of ordinary people are sick in the rain, they can be cured, not to mention the special identity of the Son of Heaven?" ”
"Your Highness means that the eunuchs killed the Son of Heaven?"
Guo Song nodded, "I think it's possible, and it's very likely." ”
Pan Liao frowned and said: "But we are just speculating, there is no evidence, and there are many cases of children dying young, don't hide it from Your Highness, one of my children was drenched in the rain, and he couldn't be cured for a long time, and finally died, I think ordinary people can accept the fact that the Son of Heaven died of illness, we can doubt it, but if we can't get evidence, it is difficult to use this matter to hold the eunuch party responsible." ”
Everyone was silent for a while, and at this time, Du You said lightly: "Instead of investigating the death of the Son of Heaven, it is better to pay attention to the newly established Son of Heaven of the Eunuch Party, is there any news from His Highness?" ”
Guo Song said slowly: "Chengdu has not been officially announced, but the news we got from our intelligence point is that Li Wen, the widow of the abolished prince Li Yu, will succeed to the throne. ”
As soon as Guo Song's words fell, Wen Ji laughed and said, "Sure enough, I guessed it!" ”
Everyone looked at Wen Ji, Guo Song raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "Why can Gong Wen guess correctly?" ”
Wen Ji smiled mysteriously, got up and saluted Guo Songxing: "Your Highness, colleagues, I have seen this Li Wen, he is not an ordinary person, to be precise, he is a fool!" ”
Wen Ji's words suddenly shocked the whole house, and Guo Song hurriedly said: "Gong Wen, please be specific!" ”
Wen Ji said unhurriedly: "This child should be three years old now!" When I left Chengdu last year, he couldn't speak, he was two years old at that time, he was always living in his own world, he didn't pay attention to anyone talking to him, but he could hear it, he would eat when he fed him, he would sleep when he was allowed to sleep, he would only do one thing a day, play with a few small wooden blocks, and ignore anything else. ”
Guo Song nodded, he understood, this Li Wen is a typical autism, but there was no autism in the Tang Dynasty, he was a fool.
Guo Song said to everyone again: "The Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty can't let the eunuchs manipulate him, he can't let them kill if he wants, and he can stand up if he wants to. ”
After Guo Song finished speaking, everyone immediately understood the intention of King Jin, and His Royal Highness King Jin wanted to use this opportunity to attack Chengdu.
All were in good spirits and had been waiting for years for the day to finally come.
.........
Pan Liao and Du You did not leave immediately, the two came to Guo Song's official room, and Guo Song invited the two to sit down.
"There is a reason why I said that the Son of Heaven died strangely when I was discussing in the Counselor's Hall, and there was also a news from the Chengdu intelligence point that Wang Shoude, the chief imperial physician who treated the Son of Heaven, was missing, whether he was killed or escaped by himself, it is not known at present, but this incident itself says that the cause of the death of the Son of Heaven is strange."
"I see!"
Pan Liao nodded and said: "Then we have to find a way to find this imperial doctor, or other insiders, if the Son of Heaven is really killed, then there must be a flaw, and this matter can indeed be used." ”
Guo Song glanced at Du You, and when he saw him thoughtful, he asked, "What does Du Sima think?" ”
Du You smiled slightly: "Actually, I don't think it matters what the truth is, as long as our public opinion is strong, even if the Son of Heaven is really sick and died, we must let the eunuchs carry this black cauldron, of course, it is better to have evidence, I mean, we must use the power of the two newspapers to fully publicize this matter, clear the way for us to clear the way for the eunuchs." ”
Pan Liao said: "But our newspaper can't go to Bashu, and it has been strictly forbidden by the eunuchs!" ”
Du You smiled, "Pan Changshi is on the tip of the horns, we are not promoting to Bashu, but to Chang'an, to Guanzhong, Hedong, Hebei and even the whole world, as long as the people of the world approve, Bashu will recognize, they were exploited by the eunuch party to the point that their pants are gone, will they still support the eunuch party?" ”
Pan Liao smiled, "Du Sima is right, I am indeed a bit of a bull. ”
Guo Song took a few steps and said, "No matter what, find a little evidence first!" ”
