Chapter 11: Controversy and Conspiracy in the Court

A month has passed since Liu Hong's burial, and on this morning, the court and the central government have been disturbed, and the voices are noisy, some one or two are discussing, and some are scolding a small group to discuss together, conspiring to succeed to the throne.

"Captain has arrived!"

"Situ arrives!"

"It's timeless!"

As soon as the three adults arrived, the ministers instantly quieted down, went back to their positions, and stood respectfully with flat cards in both hands.

From time to time, another eunuch came from the door, and another voice came: "The general has arrived!" ”

At the door, He Jin was wearing a battle armor, holding a sword at his waist, and striding towards the court, everyone was in their throats at first sight, and they were all thinking that today was the day to choose the emperor, why He Jin wore this battle armor, and the threat was self-evident.

"Master Dong has arrived!" The eunuch at the door said loudly to the court again.

All the ministers looked out, only to see a "fat" body dressed in luxurious service walking towards them step by step. Why is it meat, without him, this man is short, with a big head and a thick waist, his eyes are narrowed into a slit, his legs are thick and short, and he has to be supported by someone next to him to prevent him from falling.

Dong Chengjin was helped by a eunuch to his position.

A woman slowly came out of the back, was helped to the dragon chair and sat down, this person is the queen of the dynasty, He Lian He Empress.

I saw everyone kneeling down and saying, "Queen Chitose!" Chitose! Chichitose! ”

Empress He stretched out her hand and said, "Zhong Aiqing is flat!" ”

"Empress Xie!"

"Zhong Aiqing, what is the important thing in the early dynasty today?"

An old minister stood up and said: "Empress Qiyu, the first emperor has been gone for more than a month, if there is chaos today, the people can not be without a king for a day, the country cannot be without an owner for a day, if you can't elect the son of today, I am afraid of disaster, now many departments have been paralyzed, and the people of the dawn of the dawn are tormenting like fire every day, please choose the queen to choose a candidate to succeed to the throne and sort out the outline of the dynasty, save the people of the dawn and the fire and water!" ”

The follow-up ministers on both sides said in unison: "Wait! Seconded! ”

"Oh? There should be no need to elect, after a few days choose an auspicious day of the zodiac and let the debate succeed to the throne, the first emperor left a last word, today the concubine body will not be taken out for you to see, but the first emperor clearly ordered the debate to succeed to the throne, I think there is no need to say more about the concubine, and the Han has always been the eldest son and stepfather, which is the tradition of my Han Dynasty! Empress He said loudly.

"Oh? The minister disagrees! Dong Cheng said sarcastically.

On the dragon chair, Empress He turned her head and asked, "Oh, why doesn't the Taishi agree to huh?" Isn't it my Han custom to succeed to the throne with the eldest son? ”

"Although the eldest son succeeds to the throne, His Royal Highness the eldest prince is not suitable for inheriting the throne, and the second prince is more suitable, although the second prince is not the eldest son, but his heart and wisdom are above his brother's argument, the minister thinks that the queen should make the second prince the emperor, can everyone think it is right?" Dong Cheng said with a smile.

The ministers below discussed one after another.

He Jin was upset when he heard this words, and said angrily, "Okay, you old man Dong Cheng, really, why don't you dare to kill you?" ”

Dong Cheng didn't feel frightened by the threat at all, as if he had a chance to win, and said with a smile: "Oh, above the court, how can General He be so blind to the court and speak wildly?" The minister still advises the general to be cautious. ”

The eunuchs behind him and the people wearing a pair of pants with Dong Cheng below said that He Jin had no court, and the court openly provoked the emperor's prestige, and he should be punished.

"You..." At this time, He Jin reacted that this was above the court, it was indeed not good to be presumptuous, and not all of his own people were below, there were Dong Cheng's people, and there were also some "wall grass" (on behalf of Mingzhe Baozhi on both sides of the rudder) people, He Jin only then restrained a little and said to Queen He above: "The minister knows the mistake." ”

And it is not easy for Queen He above to punish He Jin, after all, she is her own brother.

"At this time, it is indeed General He who is wrong, so he will be fined for a year and especially warned!" Queen Ho said.

"Ministers, what do you think?"

"The ministers have no opinion."

He Jin squinted at Dong Cheng when he heard this, saw that Dong Cheng was smiling at him, snorted coldly, and stood up waiting for everyone to discuss.

"Then do you think that now that the first emperor has left, you can't identify who will succeed you, and now is it better to succeed to the throne by Bian'er or Xie'er?"

At this time, Dong Cheng's people and He Jin's people were all talking, and they quarreled again for a while, and then in the hustle and bustle, the old man stood up.

"The minister thinks that it is still the eldest prince to succeed to the throne as the superior policy, according to the first emperor Gaozu if the eldest son succession is destroyed by us, it can be the way of rebellion, if the eldest prince succeeds to the throne if he has no clear reason in the future, we can solve his doubts, we can all assist His Royal Highness the great prince, so that he can become a good emperor like Gaozu, the first emperor." Taiwei Yang Biao took the lead.

Situ Wang Yun stood up and said: "The old minister also thinks that Taiwei's words are reasonable, and the old minister seconded it!" ”

Sikong also heard the second.

"Okay, the three adults have agreed, and this matter is decided, please do it these days, let Wei'er succeed to the throne as soon as possible, and let my Han get better as soon as possible, and that's it today, disperse the dynasty!"

"Congratulations to the queen!"

Dong Cheng saw that he failed, so he shook his hand and let people help him leave, and He Jin saw that Wei'er succeeded to the throne, and he smiled and prepared to go to his sister privately to discuss how to eradicate Dong Cheng, Zhang Rang and other eunuch forces.

………………

"Captain, wait a minute..."

"Oh, isn't this Lord Situ, what's the matter with staying down?" Taiwei Yang Biao turned around and saw that it was Wang Yun and stopped.

"Why does Taiwei support Liu Wei to succeed to the throne so much, I want to carefully ask Lord Taiwei what he thinks." Wang Yundao.

"Thoughts? It's just a boat pushing the boat, isn't my eldest son succeeding to the throne, if the second son succeeds to the throne, won't the rules of my Han ancestors be messed up, I just said what a minister thinks, doesn't Lord Wang understand? Yang Biao replied to Wang Yun with a smile.

"Oh? I see, I was wondering if Lord Yang was the same as I thought, so I stopped Lord Yang and asked to understand, now that Lord Yang has solved his doubts, I won't disturb Lord Yang to go home, Lord Yang walks slowly. After Wang Yun finished speaking, he also turned around and walked towards his house.

"This old fox." Yang Biao thought secretly.

………………

"Hmph, these old foxes who see the wind and rudder the rudder are nothing more than how powerful he is, and he is angry with me, what should I do, what can I do." Dong Cheng returned to the house and made a fuss.

"Taishi doesn't have to worry, now it's just that everyone in the court doesn't know the conspiracy of He Jin and the two, please calm down, isn't it that Liu Wei hasn't succeeded to the throne yet, and your lord still has time." Zhang Rang behind him.

"It's only a matter of time before he succeeds to the throne, what should you do if you call me? Now even if I openly uncover the conspiracy of He Jin and the two, it will not do me any good, and now He Jin is a thorn in my eye, I want to kill me early, and now I have no evidence to prove the conspiracy of the two of them, what can I do? Dong Cheng asked Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang said in a downward direction: "Otherwise, we won't do anything, and we will argue with Liu..."

"This is not a bad way, he He Jin can kill the first emperor, I can also conspire with his son, hmph, compared to me, you He Jin is a little worse." Dong Chengdao.

"This trick can only be used as a last resort, and it is best not to use it as a last resort, if there is really no way, you must start as soon as possible, and the action must be fast," Zhang said.

"Yes, tomorrow I will give you the results, tomorrow when you come I will tell you how to do it, let me think about it today." Dong Chengdao.

"Then I'll go back and wait for news from my lord!"

"Well, go ahead!"

In this way, the two decided to conspire against Liu Wei.........
