Seeing that Feng Yi asked the key point, Gu Qian did not shy away from saying directly:
"My Majesty does intend to entrust the major affairs behind him to Han Hou, and even ordered King Luo to stay in Shangluo and not return to Luoyang, but the generals of Heluo have disagreements, and it is difficult to make ......a decision."
Lingluo Wang guards Shangluo and does not return to Luoyang?
This is not a simple entrustment, but to directly welcome Han Qian into Luoyang!
Feng Yi, Gao Shao, Guo Rong and others were one of them, and they were shocked, but at this time they really knew what the differences between the monarchs and ministers of the Liang State were, and how big the differences would be.
Feng Yi looked at Han Qian, and saw Han Qian's expression was gloomy, thinking that Gu Qian and the others had entered the Lianyuan Garden before them, Han Qian and the two ladies had already talked about this, and it was hard to imagine that Han Qian and the two ladies could still maintain their composure.
In the case of Tangyi, if Han Qian unfortunately fell seriously ill at this time and wanted to entrust the future, Feng Yi thought that his first choice with other Tangyi generals would definitely be to support Han Wenxin, the son of the Hou Shi, who had been clearly established as the heir by Han Qian, as the new master, so as to continue to gather the strength of the military and the people and maintain Tangyi.
Although Hou Shizi Han Wenxin was only a seven-year-old child at this time, the people of Tangyi still chose to support him as the new lord, thinking that Zhu Zhen, the king of Liangluo, would have turned twenty years old after the year, and in recent years, he has followed the Liang Emperor Zhu Yu to fight in the south and the north, and has accumulated a lot of experience in commanding troops and governing the government, at least in the eyes of the generals of Liang, he is definitely a qualified monarch candidate.
If Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang died, how could Gu Qian, Zhu Youtong, Jing Hao, Jing Hao, Lei Jiuyuan and other important ministers of the Liang State give up Zhu Zhen, and willingly turn their heads and set up an outsider who was once hostile to them as the new lord of the Liang State?
For such a big thing, even Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang could not go his own way.
Even if Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang left an edict, Lei Jiuyuan, Gu Qian, Chen Youtong, Zhu Juezhong, Jing Hao and other generals can completely ignore the edict, and when the time comes, Zhu Zhen will be directly appointed as the new master, and it is impossible for the history books and even future generations to say that they are traitors and rebels against the party.
There has never been a loyalty that is completely unruly and completely devoid of one's own opinions!
Han Qian has such a high prestige in Tangyi, but he ordered to directly send Empress Xu, Zhang Xinchun and others to Jinling for trial, and Han Laoshan and others also ran over to block the door.
Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang did not pass on his son, but asked his son and everyone to set up outsiders who were not related to Liang State, how could there be no opposition within him, and how could Zhu Yu be completely quelled if he insisted on going his own way?
If Zhu Yuzhen insists on going his own way, I am afraid that it will cause even greater and more uncontrollable chaos.
Of course, Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang can't insist on leaving a testament, just when the whole thing is settled, he must determine many things in front of him, he must see Lei Jiuyuan, Gu Qian, Chen Youtong, Jing Hao, Zhu Juezhong, Han Yuanqi, Chen Kun and other important ministers of Liang State to willingly welcome Han Qian as the master, so that he can let go of everything with peace of mind, and only in this way can it be possible to avoid chaos to the greatest extent.
Gu Qian also did not shy away from the main differences among the generals of Liang Guo.
In addition to the deep-rooted tradition or righteous name of the father's death and son's succession, in addition to the chaos that may be caused by not establishing the king of Luo and welcoming Han Qian, the generals of the Liang State and the surviving clan children are more worried about their future status and the interests of the clan not being guaranteed, and they are even worried that Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang will be orphaned at this time, and Zhu Zhen and other Zhu clan children will not die well in the future.
Even though Tangyi's assistance to Liang Guo in the past few years has been done enough to greatly eliminate the antagonism between the two sides, it still cannot completely eliminate such concerns.
People have selfish thoughts, Gu Qian and Lei Jiuyuan are not shy about making this clear, and at this time, they can't be frank with each other, the two completely different forces of Xiliang and Tangyi must be under the huge pressure of strong enemies, and even this matter will cause a great backlash in Jinling, and it will be too difficult to successfully complete the integration.
Gu Qian also explained why they were stranded in the north of Chaozhou City, and these geniuses came to Liyang to meet everyone.
Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang felt that his body could not support it for a long time before October, so he officially mentioned this matter to his close ministers, but Gu Qian and they strongly objected, and in the end, Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang made concessions and made a compromise with Gu Qian and others:
If Han Qian can send Empress Xu, Zhang Xinchun and Yang Fen, the Duke of Chu, to Jinling for trial, it shows that Han Qian has the magnanimity of a king, and there is no need to worry about the children of the Zhu clan and the generals of the Liang State not being treated well in the future, so he wants Gu Qian and others to rush to Liyang to discuss the matter of Yingli.
And if Han Qian decided to kill or order the assassination of Empress Xu, Zhang Xinchun and others, he would allow Gu Qian and others to return quietly, and the matter behind him would be arranged according to the ideas of Lei Jiuyuan, Gu Qian, Zhu Juezhong, Chen Youtong, Jing Hao and others.
"Of course, we also thought that after the death of His Majesty, even if the Great Prince Luo Wang succeeded to the throne, it would be difficult to resist the attack of the Mugwu people, and he could not really hold the Heluo region, and initially wanted to emulate the Shu State and advocate that after His Majesty's death, the Great Prince would call the king not the emperor, but a vassal to the Chu State, so as to continue to receive sufficient support from the Chu State and Tangyi - we even suggested to Your Majesty at first to marry Princess Yunhe to Han Hou, so that the matter of the Heluo army and the battle could also be handed over to Han Hou for unified command and dispatch, but His Majesty said that Han Hou was not a Chu minister, Bento is the lord of Liang, there is no reason to be both Chu Chen and Liang Chen. And His Majesty also said that Han Hou is not the lord of Liang, except that Heluo can't really get a chance to breathe, and more hidden worries will only be buried deeper and deeper, so that they can't be eliminated in the end, and it will be difficult to solve the problem of Liangzhou in a short time......"
Gu Qian and the others calmly revealed the twists and turns behind them and even revealed the propositions they initially insisted on, Feng Yi, Gao Shao and others did not mind at all, speaking from their hearts, they stood in the position of Gu Qian and others, and they would also feel that Gu Qian's original proposition was the most realistic, and they were far from expecting that Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang would have such a decision!
Of course, not to mention Gu Qian and the others, Feng Yi and the others were also worried about how much trouble and chaos it would be if they really had to do it directly-just thinking about the whole thing would give them a headache!
…………
…………
Emperor Yanyou was assassinated and died, the new emperor ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, changing the Yuan Taihe, and the expected great turmoil did not happen.
Not to mention the dismantling of the vassal state in Huaidong, the recruiting army also succeeded in inflicting heavy losses on the rebels in Xiangbei and recovering the prefectures of Xiangying and Dengjun - even if the rebels still held the two states of Jinliang and did not surrender, these two states were also seized from Shu in recent years, and Zheng Hui led the army to attack the Qingyuan army Jiedu envoy, and had successfully captured the prefectures and counties along the Xijiang River.
If it weren't for the fact that Tangyi stood alone between the Jianghuai River, so that no one could ignore it, the Great Chu in the first year of Taihe could be said to be a world of great governance.
There are five days before the New Year's Festival, and the Imperial City is also full of lights, and the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival is strong.
Compared with the traditional rice paper lampshade, the bright horn lampshade made of boiled sheep's horn is more and more popular with rich and noble families; In the past two years, the palace ban has also been replaced with bright-angle lampshades with better light transmission and wind protection.
No one knew what was happening in Liyang City at this moment, Shen Yang walked out of the government office of Shangshu Province, saw the bright corner lamps hanging along the street emitting a faint yellow light, breathed a few breaths of cold air, and the brain that was swelled by the case woke up instantly, but his chest was stimulated by the cold air and coughed violently.
Qin Wen stepped forward and patted him on the back, Shen Yang waved his hand, indicating that he was not so fragile, coughed for a while, and when his breath was straightened out, he pulled a towel from his sleeve and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
Although the Mengwu people captured Yongzhou, its momentum was very great, but the two thieves of Wang Yuankui and Tian Weiye, who were driven by the Mengwu people to attack the city and plunder the land, suffered extremely heavy casualties, so that Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian surrendered to them, but the Mengwu people were worried that they would be in danger of seizing the master, and did not dare to accept it in a hurry. Li Zhihe's prisoners of Lu Qingxia and Zhou Yuanyu, who colluded with the Mughurs, had no intention of surrendering to the Mughurs for the time being—and in fact, even if Li Zhihe surrendered to the Mughurs, the coastal terrain along Wuguandao and the upper reaches of the Han River was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was enough to have the Right Guards and the Right Wuxiang Army garrisoned. The meaning of Shou Wangye is also the great achievements of the Tangyi army, and the court should be rewarded, but the generals of the Tangyi army have fought hard repeatedly, and there is no need to worry about guarding the Wuguan Road, and they should be ordered to return to the station to recuperate quickly. Shen Xiang should no longer hesitate, and should decisively ask the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces to make an order to urge. If the time drags on, when the people of Tangyi firmly control the township Situnzhai in Deng Jun and the two prefectures, and the imperial court wants to take these two states back, I am afraid it will not be so easy......" Zhang Xian, who was standing aside, said.
After the palace change, Huang Hua did not return to the center and continued to stay in Hunan, but in addition to Huang Huixiang, another important figure of the Huang family, who also led the governor's affairs and obtained the qualification to participate in the privy deliberations of the political affairs hall, Huang Hua also recommended the guest Zhou Qinian to serve as the Zhongshu Sheren.
At the same time, Shouwang Yang Zhitang also recommended Zhang Xian, the guest of the house, to serve as a member of the Zhongshu House at the same time.
Although the Zhongshu Sheren is only an official position of the sixth rank in the center, he is in charge of drafting edicts, participating in secrets, and deliberating on the chapters, and is extremely powerful.
In the middle and late period of the former dynasty, the Zhongshu Province held the decision-making power, and the Zhongshu Order was not permanent, or only a fictitious title, and the Zhongshu Sheren, who was a close minister of the emperor, actually held the power of the minister.
The decrees of the Great Chu are all out of Shangshu Province, with Shangshu Province as the center of government affairs, Shen Yang is a servant to shoot the same Zhongshu Sect under the Ping Zhang, and actually leads the prime minister, but he has the opportunity to participate in the confidential Zhongshu Sheren, the intellectual system and other positions, which is still not waiting for idle dispatch.
Huang Hua and Yang Zhitang recommended Zhang Xian and Zhou Qinian to enter the center as officials, but in fact, they also wanted to use them to participate in the decision-making center on their behalf.
In comparison, although Qin Wen was a bachelor of the Chongwen Palace and a leader of the intellectual system at this time, his rank was higher than that of Zhou Qinian and Zhang Xian, but under the shadow of Shen Yang, he was more involved in secrets as Shen Yang's follower, and in fact he did not have an independent right to speak, and his status was not as important as Zhou Qinian and Zhang Xian.
Shen Yang was unwell, Qin Wen looked concerned about Xiao Yi, but Zhang Xian and Zhou Qinian just stood aside, waiting for Shen Yang to calm down and cough not so badly, and then continue the topic that had not been finished in the government office just now.
Qin Wen stood beside Shen Yang, listening to Zhang Xian's statement once again that he was resolute in taking back Deng Jun's two states from the Tangyi army, but frowned slightly.
In the eyes of many people, the first Hehuai War ended in a hurry, so that Kong Xirong led 20,000 soldiers and horses to tear the defense line from the northern front in early November and occupied Deng Jun and the two prefectures before the recruiting army became a fact.
In the past month, the ownership of the jurisdiction of Deng Jun, which controls the Nanyang Basin, the southeastern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and Wuguan Dao, has become the focus of controversy in the court.
The follow-up attack on the Xiangbei rebels who retreated to the upper reaches of the Han River west of Yunyang and Fangling, and even retreated 10,000 steps, Li Zhihe led the remnants of the army to defect to the Mengwu people, and above the court, a considerable number of princes and ministers believed that the recruitment army with the Right Guards and the Right Wuxiang Army as the main force could fully handle the follow-up combat and defense tasks, and did not need the Tangyi Army to participate.
Whether it is Yang Yuanyan, the king of letters, or Yang Zhitang, the king of Shou, they all advocate solemn words and order the Tangyi army to withdraw from Deng Jun and Huaixi to rest.
Zhang Xian's words represented the opinion of Shouwang Yang Zhitang, Qin Wen did not dare to agree, without Shen Yang's permission, he would not refute fiercely, but he did not mean that he even had to hide his expression without leaking.
In fact, at this time, there are no others in the court who are worried that the situation on the western front will further deteriorate, except for Han Daoming, Chen Jingzhou, Han Daochang and other Tangyi ministers......
