58 Coup d'état in Chu (2)
When the ministers of civil and military affairs heard this, they were speechless.
Almost half of the people chose to support Chu Ji.
The general Wang Dafu originally wanted to agree, and Chu Ji was temporarily in charge of the country.
But when he saw it, the ministers of civil and military affairs were too united, and the situation was really abnormal!
Maybe they have all received the benefits of Chu Ji and influenced decision-making.
Therefore, he decided to change his mind on the imposing basis, and when he stood up, he retorted: "The minister is against it! ”
"General, you ...... yesterday Didn't you already say yes?
How do you go back on your word? Chu Ji asked with a smile.
"Yesterday the minister was drunk, and he could not count the words he said.
The crown prince wants to supervise the country, please show the holy decree.
Otherwise... Surrender or disobedience!
The generals in the army will not agree! ”
Wang Dafu threw his hand out of the main hall and did not give Chu Ji any chance to refute.
"General..."
But seeing Wang Dafu leaving, Chu Ji was suddenly angry in his heart, and he couldn't wait to punish Wang Dafu immediately.
But he knew that Wang Dafu had high prestige and power in the court, and he could not move lightly.
So, he still put on a look of respecting the old minister.
Zhou saw this, immediately took two steps forward, and said to everyone in the court: "Princess, please listen to me."
The emperor is critically ill, and the crown prince is in charge of the country, which is common sense.
The matter cannot be shelved just because the general does not agree.
After all, a nation cannot be left without an owner for a day.
Besides, the general is only in charge of military affairs, and cannot control the decision-making of the court, let alone the right to decide whether the prince is in charge of the country.
It's up to us to decide, don't you think? ”
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Most of the people present were bribed by Chu Ji, and of course they helped Chu Ji speak.
Under such circumstances, the DPRK's decision-making has lost its fairness.
Putting aside Wang Dafu's ignorance, Chu Ji successfully supervised the country.
It's just that he didn't get the support of Wang Dafu and didn't have military power.
But there is a point.
Wang Dafu was only in charge of the local forces of Chu and the regular army stationed at the border.
And the Imperial Forest Army in Yingdu City is under the control of others.
To be precise, it was led by the emperor's uncle Chu Shang.
Chu Ji was in prison that night.
Chu Shang, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, was assassinated in the barracks.
A piece of jade pendant was left at the scene.
After verification, it was from the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
Chu Ji appointed Sun Jin as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army and sent troops to surround the Eldest Princess's Mansion;
Li Bai, Chu Wushuang, Chu Yanran, and the soldiers in the mansion were all controlled.
It wasn't until this moment that Wang Dafu suddenly came to his senses.
Chu Ji is premeditated, and he is making trouble!
He first sent people to assassinate the senior generals of the Imperial Forest Army, and persuaded the ministers of the DPRK and China to support him in supervising the country.
Then, take control of the Imperial Forest Army and blame the eldest princess's mansion.
Although he has no evidence, the suspicion of the prince is definitely greater than that of Li Bai!
Because Wang Dafu knew very well that Wei Wuji's methods were clever.
If he wants to rebel, he doesn't have to play these tricks at all.
Directly lead the troops to kill back, and you can play Yingdu in half a day.
The Imperial Forest Army and the local army of Chu did not even have a chance to react.
But now...
Chu Wushuang, Chu Yanran, and Li Bai were all controlled.
The crown prince Chu Ji also holds real power.
Does this seem like Wei Wuji's handiwork?
"I've got to figure it out!" Wang Dafu went to the palace and saw Chu Sheng, the chief eunuch.
"Father-in-law, how is the emperor's illness?"
"Alas..." Chu Sheng glanced around, and when he saw that no one was there, he whispered: "The emperor's illness is strange, and the imperial doctors are helpless.
Just now, Imperial Physician Hu whispered to me that the emperor had not eaten for many days.
And so on... Even if you're not sick, you won't be able to survive..."
"So serious?" Wang Dafu was shocked.
"yes!" Chu Sheng sighed.
Wang Dafu was even more anxious in his heart, and couldn't help but walk back and forth, wandering and saying: "Recently, the court has not been peaceful.
The crown prince supervised the country, and the soldiers surrounded the princess's mansion.
I want to help the horses, but I can't do anything! ”
Chu Sheng hurriedly persuaded: "Our family has served Your Majesty for thirty years, and we know Your Majesty's intentions very well.
At this time, the general should stand up and stop His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
You must know that the horse is the pillar of optimus in the state of Chu.
Nowadays, the horse is commanding an army of 200,000 outside, once he learns that the eldest princess is in danger, will he lead the army back?
Such...... It will plunge the state of Chu into civil strife..."
"You're right."
Wang Dafu frowned, and his heart was already in a mess, "But... What should I do? ”
Seeing this, Chu Sheng hurriedly said: "Northern Qi has an excellent relationship with us, and it will not pose a threat to us for the time being.
You can transfer back the forces to defend Northern Qi, take the crown prince, and control Yingdu.
Wait for His Majesty to wake up and then make a decision. ”
"This..."Wang Dafu was shocked: "You want me to rebel?" ”
Chu Sheng immediately shook his head and said, "How can this be a rebellion?
General, think about it, if His Majesty could speak at this time, what would he say?
Could it be that the prince will be allowed to come?
I will definitely let you transfer troops to arrest the prince and stabilize the situation..."
"No way!" Wang Dafu shook his head again and again.
From the time he was in charge of the army to the present, every time he transferred troops, he had to make the emperor's will.
Never made the decision privately.
Although suppressing the crown prince was saving the Chu State, he still didn't dare to do it.
"Father-in-law, I really can't do anything about suppressing the prince. I still have something to do, so I'll go first. Wang Dafu hurried away.
Chu Sheng didn't chase after him.
He returned to the dormitory and continued to take care of the seriously ill Emperor Chu.
Outside the Eldest Princess's Mansion.
Wang Dafu glanced at the Imperial Forest Army standing guard, stepped forward and said, "I want to see the eldest princess." ”
"General, the prince has an order, and he is not allowed to enter or leave the palace.
If you go in, you can't get out. A Royal Guards soldier said.
"If you can't get out, you can't get out!" Wang Dafu walked in.
.........
Li Bai, Chu Wushuang, and Chu Yanran were all in the living room.
Li Bai walked around anxiously.
Chu Yanran was drinking tea.
Chu Wushuang sat at the coffee table, his eyes blank, and he didn't say a word.
When they looked up and saw Wang Dafu, they were all taken aback.
"General, why are you here?" Chu Yanran was surprised.
"The minister has some things that I want to know from the eldest princess." Wang Dafu entered the living room and bowed to Chu Wushuang: "I've seen the eldest princess."
I remember that when the emperor first fell ill, you went to the dormitory once.
Dare to ask the eldest princess, at that time...... What is the emperor's condition? ”
Chu Wushuang raised his eyes and said, "At that time, the imperial doctor diagnosed, but he was just suffering from a cold. ”
"Wind chill?"
Wang Dafu frowned and said, "It's only been more than ten days, and I can't get up, and I've been in a coma."
It's not like a wind chill.
Eldest princess, you can remember it again, the emperor was ...... Isn't there anything else out of the ordinary?
Just wind chill? ”
When Chu Wushuang heard this, he thought about it.
She said: "Imperial Physician Hu is the best imperial physician in our palace, he said that it was a cold wind, and it must be no worse."
General, you come and ask me, what do you mean? ”
Wang Dafu said: "If the diagnosis was wind and cold at that time, the medical skills of the etheric doctors would only need a few pairs of medicines to heal.
But...... It's only been a few days...
I suspect that someone has done something in the decoction!
In this way, His Majesty's condition deteriorated to the point of being out of control. ”
When Wang Dafu said this, Chu Wushuang trembled, and his expression changed a little.
Wang Dafu noticed it and asked anxiously, "Eldest princess, do you know anything?" ”
"I don't know anything.
General, the mansion has been surrounded, didn't you come here to throw yourself into the net?
Even if you know something, you can't bring the news out. Chu Wushuang said.
"The princess said this...... What is the meaning? ”
Wang Dafu analyzed it carefully, and felt that Chu Wushuang seemed to really know something.
"This tea is good..."Chu Wushuang suddenly picked up the tea bottle and handed it to Wang Dafu: "General, you have rarely come to the mansion recently, and you don't know that the tea we have here is all used..."
Chu Wushuang diverted the topic and said something inconsequential.
Wang Dafu didn't have the heart to listen, and asked anxiously: "Eldest princess, now the Chu State is in a very dangerous stage.
I need ample evidence to prove something.
In this way, I have the right to transfer troops --- Qingjun's side!
Does the eldest princess understand? ”。
"I don't understand..."Chu Wushuang hesitated for a few breaths, but was still unmoved.
Wang Dafu then looked at Li Bai and glanced over.
