Chapter 770: The Legend of the Minister

Ni Kuan, a doctor from Zuo Neishi and Taizhong, who had read poetry and books and was deeply influenced by Confucianism, never thought that one day he would agree to do what only those rebellious ministers and thieves in the historical records would do.

Such a decision made him feel very painful inside. But there is simply no other way to think of it. Because, he doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want to involve the entire family and become a martyr in the power struggle.

"Once Your Majesty dies and the crown prince succeeds to the throne, it will be difficult to hide the affairs in Taiyue Mountain. With Yuan Zhao's deep relationship with the queen and the crown prince, they will definitely take revenge cruelly. Even if the crown prince didn't want to do this in order to protect the face of the new king, how could the queen and the eldest princess give up? At that time, all those involved in this will not want to have good fruit to eat...... ”

Even Ni Kuan had to admit that King Wuqiu Shou analyzed the interests and stakes first, which was convincing. What followed was deep fear and remorse. If you think about it seriously, you don't seem to have any deep hatred with Yuan Zhao at the beginning, but it's just out of jealousy. Who knew that it would come to the point where either you die or I die! It's too late to say anything now, people are dead, hatred is planted, and you can only go on hard. Ni Kuan, who wanted to understand this, took a deep breath and calmed down after drinking a cup of tea to suppress the shock.

"General Wuqiu, there is no need to say more. What to do, does Venerable Donghai have a detailed plan? ”

King Wuqiu Shouwang put down the tea cup in his hand, and secretly admired that what the master expected was not wrong at all, Zuo Neishi Ni Kuan really knew the current affairs very well, and after a few words, he immediately knew what to do was the most beneficial way for himself.

"Since ancient times, it has been difficult and easy to achieve great things. When it's difficult, it's a waste of effort to put all your efforts into it. Sometimes, it's as simple as following the previous examples...... Hehe! ”

"The old example? You mean......?! ”

"Master Zuo Neishi is familiar with poetry and books, and he is rich in learning. Haven't you heard the legend of the First Emperor's Dune Change? ”

Ni Kuan changed color again in shock. Of course, he knew what King Wuqiu Shou wanted to symbolize when he talked about Qin Shi Huang's death in the sand dunes at this time. It's just that before he could speak again, Jiang Yu, the chief eunuch who had been sitting beside the two of them all the time, had already high-fived him and interjected loudly.

Although the Sprinkle family does not read, they also know very well these allusions to the previous dynasty. The first emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty went out to patrol the world, traveled to the sand dunes and died violently, and then the accompanying eunuch Zhao Gao conspired with Prime Minister Li Si to tear up the emperor's edict, and forged the edict to give the emperor's eldest son Fusu to death, and then set up the young son Hu Hai who went out on patrol to inherit the throne as the emperor. General Wuqiu, am I right or not?"

King Wuqiu Shouwang applauded lightly as a sign of appreciation. Even Ni Kuan couldn't help but be impressed. On weekdays, I only know that this eunuch serves diligently by the emperor's side, but I can't see that he also has some knowledge.

"Gonggong Jiang is very smart, what he said is extremely true! It was because of this that Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, got the throne, but it came without much effort. ”

King Wuqiu Shou was well versed in human affairs, and knew that this eunuch attached great importance to the recognition of others, and looked at his proud look, and deliberately praised him again. Sure enough, the other party was very happy. And Ni Kuan, who had already vaguely guessed his thoughts, was even more surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas! Zhao Gao and Li Si helped Hu Hai to obtain the throne in this way, but they also left behind a thousand years of infamy, and the Great Qin Dynasty was also buried in their hands, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses?"

King Wuqiu Shou shook his head and said disappreciatively to the two of them: "The fall of the Qin Dynasty has nothing to do with their seizure of the throne in this way. If Qin II was a person who made a difference, and Zhao Gao and these people were not so stupid, the Great Qin Dynasty could have continued. Later generations will only see their merits, and as for how this emperor was obtained in the first place, who will care so much? Hehe! ”

Although he said this somewhat presumptuously, it was not without reason. Seeing that Ni Kuan and Jiang Yu were listening carefully, King Wuqiu Shou decided to fight quickly and no longer waste time. Because, King Langya will come soon. Something great is accomplished, tonight!

"A few of us are people who have had a disagreement with the crown prince, if the crown prince really inherits the throne, what will happen to me at that time, I don't need to say more, I think you also know in your hearts. And I have always heard that there are many important ministers in the court who are not satisfied with the crown prince as the heir to the throne, and even His Majesty the Emperor has been shaken several times...... It's enough to have these conditions! Therefore, whether it is public or private, changing the crown prince with the emperor's edict is the only way to save the fate of all of us in the future! And the opportunity is in the hands of the three of us. You don't have to hesitate any longer, it's time to wait, so please make a decision quickly! ”

King Wuqiu Shouwang, who was in armor, stood up, and his tone was serious and gradually generous. As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yu, the chief eunuch, also stood up, his eyes radiated with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"I think that when my clan brother embroidered the clothes and guards, Jiang Chong died in the hands of Yuan Zhao and the prince, this Qiu Sprinkle family has always been in my heart! If you have this opportunity today, how can you stay out of it? In the end, what to do, the Sprinkle family is willing to obey the dispatch of the two adults and achieve great things together. ”

Seeing his positive statement, King Wuqiu Shou was overjoyed. Although the eunuch chief was not of high status, he was very important. In this emperor's tour, it was this person who was in charge of the emperor's seal and some documents, and it can be said that if you want to launch this Langya incident, it will never work without his cooperation.

The two of them reached an agreement, and when they turned their eyes to Ni Kuan, they saw this Lord Zuo Neishi sitting there with a somewhat pale face, with a cloudy expression on his face, obviously weighing the pros and cons in his heart, and had not yet made a final decision.

"Lord Zuo Neishi, do you want to do it or not? Don't procrastinate! ”

The eunuch was an anxious man. Realizing that he is about to participate in a major event that shocks the world, he only wants to start right away to show his importance. Seeing Ni Kuan's hesitant appearance, he seemed more anxious than anyone else. Ni Kuan ignored him, a lonely eunuch didn't care about his life and death, but he couldn't do it. Once there is a disagreement, this is a big crime of raiding the family and destroying the nine clans, how can it be child's play!

"Another crown prince...... Who will you want? ”

Seeing that Ni Kuan finally spoke, King Wuqiu Shou smiled indifferently, he had already exchanged news with Jiang Yu before, and at this time he pointed to the ground and said.

"Far away, close at hand. Our preferred candidate is none other than Liu Fuling, the king of Langya, who is sealed here! What do you think? ”

Facing the eager gaze of the two of them, Ni Kuan, who was already in charge of all the affairs of the imperial court, lowered his head again, unable to see the look on his face clearly, and after a long time, he had to sigh.

"The emperor is a clear guide, and the history books are vivid. Thinking about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Jin Xiangong abolished the crown prince Shensheng, and the country was not peaceful for three generations. The brothers of Qi competed for the throne, and Duke Qi Huan died regardless of being maggots. And the farther ones indiscriminately killed the ministers and relatives, and did not listen to the persuasion of good words and bitter words, which eventually led to the collapse of the country and the fall of mountains and rivers...... These things that are contrary to the principles of heaven have eventually led to the consequences of disaster. I, Ni Kuan, have learned the faith of being loyal to the monarch and serving the country, how dare I participate in such a disobedient thing today? ”

King Wuqiu Shou scolded in his heart. He had already seen that this guy was very inward-looking, and when was he still pretending to be high here! He was no longer polite, so he lowered his face and said sharply.

"Since Lord Zuo Neishi is so timid and afraid, then we will no longer be reluctant. There are just a few words of advice that have to be told one last time. From ancient times to the present, those who have achieved great things have not been informal. As long as you do things together today, you will definitely be able to confer marquis titles and glory for generations. And if you are willing to give up this rare opportunity and stand by, haven't you heard the saying that God gives you the blessing and suffers the blame? By that time, it's already too late! Lord Zuo Neishi will not only be unable to protect himself, but will also bring disaster to future generations! One thought of success or failure, the trade-off is all between the palms, you decide for yourself! ”

Ni Kuan couldn't withstand the coercion and temptation of King Wuqiu Shou, and his psychological defense line finally collapsed completely, understanding that since he knew about this matter, it was impossible to stop. He gritted his teeth, squeezed a few tears out of the corners of his eyes, and then said.

"In this case, I can't repay His Majesty the Emperor with my death, so I have to stay useful and be loyal to the Han Dynasty!"

Seeing that he finally agreed, King Wuqiu Shou was overjoyed. As long as these two people are dealt with, Venerable Donghai's plan has already succeeded for the most part. He said with one in one hand and couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

"Presumably King Langya has arrived at this time, let's go discuss big things together!"

Soon after, in a secret place behind the palace, all the people involved in the project finally got together. On this moonlit night, a group of careerists who tried to repeat the usurpation drama of a hundred years ago were about to begin their actions destined to shake the whole world.

It was in this round of bright moonlight that there was a horse that had traveled thousands of miles, and came to the city of Langya County with its owner and covered in dust.

The figure with the sword on horseback looked up at the wall that was not very high, and restrained the warhorse. Although he was covered with a veil, he couldn't see his face in the moonlight. But the exhaustion and sadness that filled his body could no longer be concealed.

searched all the way, but there was no trace. The journey of thousands of miles has finally come to an end, and across this city, there is already an endless sea in front of it. All the news that came proved that he was dead. However, she was still unwilling. As long as there is a breath left, she will not stop searching.

"Master, Bing'er misses you so much...... Whining! ”

Under the bright moon, on the coast of the East China Sea, she once stood on the back of a horse, and finally couldn't help crying.
