Chapter 638: Warlord Reaction
Concubine Lan's death did not cause much of a sensation. Genius remembers the first three or five in a second
The palace only used a sentence to die of illness, which was considered a low-key treatment, and did not give more explanations to the outside world.
But when there was a huge movement in the palace, it was impossible to hide it from people without leaking any small news.
When martial law suddenly fell in the palace without warning, all forces, including Qiman, noticed this anomaly for the first time.
It's a pity that no matter how they investigate, there is no way to know what happened in the palace.
There is martial law in the palace, and the news inside can't be transmitted, and the people outside can't get close to the palace at all, so they can only try their best to watch the gate of the palace from afar.
Until King Ming and Lian Zun suddenly left the palace, and spies from all sides vaguely saw that when the two of them left the palace, arrows shot out of the door, and the two of them were in disarray, as if they were injured in an attack.
As soon as this news is transmitted back to all forces, the masterminds of all forces, where do they dare to slacken, if the spies are not mistaken, then it must be the palace that has attacked King Ming?
When Lin Huayao got the news, he couldn't even hold the pipe in his hand steadily, fell to the ground, and hurriedly ordered to keep an eye on the Daomen and the Ming Palace, and report the slightest change immediately.
After that, Chu Ruocai was immediately summoned.
If the palace really made a move to King Ming, the Lin family needed to react immediately.
Will they immediately support King Ming, or let them fight each other?
From their point of view, King Ming is useful, and they hope that King Ming and Xinjun will fight among themselves and let the dynasty continue to consume, which is in their interests.
This is also the reason why the king of Ming beheaded the envoys of the banner barbarians, and when the banner barbarians were angry and forced the dynasty to hand over the Ming king, the warlords would openly pressure the dynasty to prevent the dynasty from handing over the Ming king.
Therefore, if the palace wants to kill Mo Bai, they also need to consider whether to help King Ming so that he will not be beaten to death by the Guo Dynasty with a stick.
Before Chu Ruocai came, Lin Huayao picked up the pipe on the ground, put it in his mouth again, and narrowed his eyes.
Chu Ruocai came quickly, he knew the importance of the matter, where did he dare to delay in the slightest.
Here in Lin Huayao, after understanding the current situation, Chu Ruocai sighed slightly and said, "Dashuai, the situation is unclear now, King Ming and Lian Zun have left the palace safely, although there are signs of being attacked, but both of them are still alive." I haven't seen the two of them hunted down in the palace, so it's hard to tell what happened in the palace, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to act rashly at the moment. ”
Lin Huayao nodded, his eyes flickered, but he shook his head, "The palace suddenly pulled the gates, King Ming and Lian Zun were injured, this is definitely not a coincidence, whether it is King Ming or Lian Zun, these two are extraordinary, any one of them, they have the power to besiege a hundred people." Can they be injured and flee in embarrassment, can there be any other explanation other than what the palace did to them? ”
"But if the palace really sent forbidden troops and internal guards to encircle and suppress, how could King Ming be allowed to escape? And if the palace really starts, since he has already lived and died, even if he escapes from the palace gate, the palace will definitely continue to chase and kill, but now, there is no sign of anyone chasing and killing. Chu Ruocai felt that this matter didn't make sense.
"It's this matter that Ben Shuai is worried about now." Lin Huayao frowned.
"What do you mean?" Chu Ruocai didn't understand Lin Huayao's words for a while.
Lin Huayao put down his pipe, frowned and asked, "Have you ever thought that the palace really attacked King Ming, but failed to take King Ming, but escaped from the city gate, what does this mean?" In addition, what you said was not pursued, Ben Shuai had two guesses, one was that the palace was originally going to secretly behead King Ming, and after cleaning up the door, the news would be announced. Now he failed to succeed, let King Ming escape from the palace, and the palace threw a mouse trap, so he gave up the pursuit. ”
"This doesn't make sense, since it's already done, even if the palace doesn't chase and kill, can King Ming give up? Instead of letting King Ming escape and coercing the Daomen to oppose the new monarch, why not go all out and do your best to get rid of King Ming? Chu Ruocai shook his head and retorted.
Lin Huayao nodded, pondered for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, King Ming is in Beijing, and he can't beat Xinjun in terms of hard fighting." Even if you suffer a loss, you can only endure it. ”
"If you say that others have suffered losses, they may choose to forbear due to the situation, but King Ming is afraid that he can't, if he is a forbearant person, he will not force the new monarch to do something to him." Chu Ruocai shook his head, disagreeing with this point of view.
Lin Huayao didn't refute his words, but his eyes narrowed, "Then there is only one possibility left, it's not that Xinjun doesn't want to chase and kill, but he can't do it." ”
"Can't do it?" Chu Ruocai was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked, "Dashuai, do you mean that the king has used some kind of means to force the new monarch not to dare to chase and kill?" ”
Lin Huayao also took a deep breath and nodded lightly, "Ben Shuai doesn't know the inside story, but if Ben Shuai's guess is really answered, then our attitude towards King Ming must be changed, if this guy has grown to the point where he can compete with Xinjun in the palace, then let's use him to fight with Xinjun, I'm afraid we are raising tigers." ”
When Chu Ruocai heard this, he immediately gasped in his heart, he understood what the handsome man meant.
If King Ming is secretly able to control the palace ban, it means that he has the ability to pull the new monarch off the horse at any time and ascend the throne himself.
The warlords still want to use him and Xinjun for internal friction, and even support him for this and help him suppress Xinjun, isn't that raising tigers, what is it?
But after calming down, Chu Ruocai thought about it carefully, but then relaxed again, and said to Lin Huayao, "Dashuai, according to his subordinates, King Ming should not have such great ability, if so, how could he be injured and escape?" If he is really so powerful, he can turn over his hand to suppress the palace ban, and the new monarch may not even have a chance to make a move against him. Now that he and Lian Zun were injured and fled, it shows that he doesn't have that much ability. ”
Lin Huayao was stunned by these words, then frowned and thought about it, and finally nodded, "What you said is reasonable, then in your opinion, how should we react to this matter?" ”
"Originally, we should have immediately supported King Ming to fight against the palace, but what the marshal just said, we have to guard against it. Now that King Ming has not had an accident, it should not be easy for the palace to get rid of him. Let's just wait, and just take a look at the details of King Ming, and wait for a little clearer, and then make a decision. Chu Ruocai said.
Lin Huayao finally agreed, and sat with Chu Ruocai to wait for the movement of the capital.
The situation on the Lin family's side is also playing out on the side of several other marshals, all of whom are rolling in the world, and when they see something unusual, they are very cautious.
This time, none of them stood up directly to help King Ming resist the pressure as they did last time when the banner barbarians let the dynasty hand over people.
One by one, they didn't say a word, standing aside and carefully observing the shocking changes in the palace.
The news came little by little, and when King Ming stayed in front of the palace gate and did not leave, and after entering the palace again, the warlord's side suddenly became more and more confused.
The original speculation seemed to be a little untenable, and they were a little suspicious, did they think too much about it, and the palace didn't make a move on King Ming at all, otherwise, how could King Ming dare to enter the palace?
The situation is confusing, and there is no more intelligence support, so I can only keep my eyes open and continue to wait.
Until late at night, King Ming walked out of the palace unharmed and returned to King Ming's mansion.
Including Lin Huayao, all the heads of forces looked at their subordinates, what the hell is going on?
What about the two tigers who said good?
What about the infighting?
Just silently disappeared?
After a while, the palace door was opened again, and many officials who were locked in the palace also left the palace and returned home.
It was only at this time that the spies under the warlords were finally dispatched and began to inquire about the news.
In fact, a gag order has been issued in the palace, but there are many officials, where can this gag order stop the warlords?
The officials may not be able to know the real inside story, but how can they not know that they are not blind to the dense arrow pits on the city gate when they leave the palace.
Soon, the warlords finally had a clear understanding of today's palace changes.
Sure enough, they didn't guess wrong, the new monarch attacked King Ming.
By dawn, the warlord's side had almost restored the situation.
The forbidden army suddenly imposed martial law on the palace, and then Yuqing's side fought first, followed by the forbidden army to kill the king of Ming, and the arrows almost covered the city gates.
When he figured out the situation at that time, even Lin Huayao couldn't help but change his color, what else was there to doubt, Xinjun really launched a killing against King Ming, without a trace of tolerance.
But the key information of the whole thing is missing, what is the cause of this palace change, how King Ming escaped death in the mortal situation, and how did this matter end in the end.
Especially the final ending, which attracts the most attention from the outside world.
No one believes that this life-and-death infighting will end in a way where both sides make peace.
But on the contrary, King Ming came out of the palace alive, and it seemed that the palace was really calm, as if nothing had happened.
The warlords' instincts were not so simple, and they had to figure out which side of the two sides had compromised, and it was about their future attitude towards the dynasty, as well as their attitude towards the Ming king and the new king.
From the perspective of warlords, the new monarch and the king of Ming, whichever side is strong will suppress whomever is strong, and whoever is weak will help whomever is weak.
In short, it is necessary to let the dynasty continue to have internal friction, and it is to make the dynasty unstable.
The next day, it was dawn.
The news of Concubine Lan's death came out.
The dynasty did not say much about the death of Concubine Lan, but used the word "death" as a final conclusion in an extremely low-key manner, and said nothing.
However, who can not know that the death of Concubine Lan must have a lot to do with the shocking changes in the palace yesterday.
Soon various rumors spread secretly in a limited range, the most convincing of which was that Concubine Lan died in a harem battle, and the spearhead was directed at the Queen Mother.
There are two rumors about this claim.
One said, Concubine Lan and the Queen Mother were already on the same page when the first emperor was in the first emperor, and now that the first emperor is gone, Concubine Lan wants to be promoted to the position of the Queen Mother of the West, but the Queen Mother does not allow it and strongly blocks it. Therefore, the two masters of the harem, new and old grudges broke out completely, and in the end, Concubine Lan was defeated and was given death by the Queen Mother.
The second said, the first emperor died, the queen mother collected important ministers, and had the heart to temper and listen to the government, Concubine Lan, as the adoptive mother of the new monarch, did not want to see the queen mother succeed, so she rose up and struck, and finally made a bad move, and was given death by the queen mother. ”
