Chapter 639: Palace Change (5)
The original intention of the Son of Heaven is understandable, the veteran ministers in the capital have their gang watching, and their gang of people have Jian Shuo watching, and Jian Shuo has Taiwei Liu Yu watching, and Liu Yu has the old minister watching, to achieve a mutual check and balance, mutual containment, so that the new Son of Heaven can calmly grasp the power, but unfortunately, the sudden death of the Son of Heaven made Jian Shuo become lonely, if the Son of Heaven did not die Pan Yin may not dare to rebel, but unfortunately, the Son of Heaven did not wait to get rid of the great trouble He Jin, let alone wait for the Taiwei Liu Yu to take office.
The sudden departure of the Son of Heaven, He Jin's rapid trouble, and Jian Shuo's nowhere to be found, as far as Zhao Zhong's tone is concerned, he will definitely die, it can be said that the current situation in Luoyang has been completely reversed, originally simple and clear, but now it has become complicated, He Jin after getting rid of Jian Shuo, there is no doubt that he will take the opportunity to make trouble, help the eldest son Shi Hou to ascend the throne, the Son of Heaven did not leave an edict on his deathbed, and the eldest son succeeded to the throne in accordance with the etiquette law, and no one in the ministers would object to He Jin to support Shi Hou as the new Son of Heaven.
There is another thing that makes him panic, after the new Son of Heaven ascends the throne, He Jin, who is in power, will not give up, the beam they have formed is too deep, and this is what Zhao Zhong and Zhang Rang are really worried about at this time, get rid of them, it is simple, it is very simple for He Jin at that time, it is difficult to say, it is not difficult at all, at the last moment, it is him and Zhao Zhong and Jian Shuo who are guarding the side of the Son of Heaven, and the results of the diagnosis of the Imperial Doctor Order The Son of Heaven can at least survive this summer or even this autumn, but the Son of Heaven passed away suddenly at such a critical juncture, If He Jin wants to find an excuse to deal with them, this is undoubtedly the best excuse.
Regicide.
It is not only to get rid of ten of them, and it is light to destroy them all over the house.
And He Jin really wants to use the death of the Son of Heaven to make a fuss against them, and they really can't excuse it?
Living in Lang?
Maybe. Could it really be clarified?
The Son of Heaven died suddenly without even leaving the edict, even if there is a living Lang to record the daily words and deeds of the Son of Heaven. But He Jin wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble, and wanted to frame them for conspiring with Jian Shuo to kill the king. At that time, even if there was no conclusive evidence, they would have to bear the suspicion of killing the king, and on this basis, they would not be able to live.
Trumped-up charges, it's hard not to die, they have done a lot of bad things, and naturally they have a deep understanding, afraid of being framed, but the two of them are not without a backhand. The first is to seek self-protection and self-protection; They will be safe and sound, followed by relying on the hussar general Dong Chong, only if Dong Chong is fine, they will be able to fight back and turn the situation around.
But there is another point that he is most worried about is Dong Hou's safety, although Shi Hou and Dong Hou have a deep brotherhood and friendship, but if He Jin makes any crazy moves. That's a big deal, his every move will become useless, but Zhang Rang's worries were completely rejected by Zhao Zhong, and He Jin was not so bold to do anything unkind to Dong Hou. Otherwise, he will be infamous for rebellion, and he can't afford it as far as He Jin is concerned, not to mention that there is still Empress Dowager Dong by Dong Hou's side. As long as there is a little vigilance, people will understand that the most important thing to deal with now is not Dong Hou, but Empress Dowager Dong and Dong Chong. In comparison, Dong Hou is not much 'dangerous', and the real threat is (Dong's) relatives.
It will be a fight between relatives. How do I bet? Zhang Rang's eyes were shining and looked at Zhao Zhong, and Zhao Zhong looked at Zhang Rang with the same eyes, at this moment, what the two of them felt was not a heart, but a complete horror, they were surprised to find that although He Jin had the advantage among the two parties, Dong Zhong was not without the possibility of turning defeat into victory, how to choose? The two people with cold backs hesitated for a long time, and finally made a bold decision, that is, to please both sides, although it was a little risky, if it was detected, it would not please both ends, but if it succeeded, no matter who was in power, at least it would be fine, risks and opportunities coexisted, and they wanted to fight for it.
The news spreads far and wide, or what if the old saying says bad things spread thousands of miles?
It turned out that the eunuch group found Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's ugly faces and opened the distance with interest, on the other hand, the scholars and relatives were in groups, and it was only a moment to gather a huge crowd of people, and began to guess various possibilities.
Within the big camp, several small camps were divided, and nearly a hundred officials were anxious in the huge Deyang Palace, speculating about all kinds of possible situations, but the most discussed was what the condition of the Son of Heaven was.
But the Son of Heaven has not seen the foreign official for many days, and no one knows about it at all. Disdain, will not get an answer, in fact, even if these old foxes don't ask, they have guessed in their hearts, today so suddenly summoned hundreds of officials to come to the court meeting of the Deyang Palace, it is likely that the crown prince is going to be canonized, and at this time, the canonization of the prince is actually nothing more than the canonization of the prince.
But there is another possibility, that is, the Son of Heaven has recovered from a serious illness, and his appearance is just a reassurance for the officials of the imperial court.
Two possibilities, but will bring completely different results, for these old foxes, they have to deal with it, if the Son of Heaven is cured, then how to deal with it; If it is the crown prince, how should it be handled, or if the son of heaven dies and a new monarch is established, how should it be handled?
Such doubts flashed in the hearts of countless people, some firmly believed that the Son of Heaven was cured, and naturally there were those who believed that the Son of Heaven was established, but there were also some people who were convinced that the Son of Heaven had died, as for what their basis was, it was not that they already knew the news, but guessed through the bell and drum that had not been rung in the Wangjing Tower.
And there are still many people like this, but they are indeed guessed from the expressions of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong.
But no matter how they guessed, at this moment, for them, the situation of the Son of Heaven has undoubtedly become confusing and exciting.
According to common sense, the monarch will definitely summon some powerful ministers, important ministers and even cronies at the last moment to arrange the establishment of the prince, but as far as the current situation is concerned, such as the three princes who are high-ranking and powerful, except for the new Taiwei Liu Yu who did not arrive in Beijing on the way to take office, Sikong Liu Hong and Situ Ding Palace are all in the Deyang Hall at this time, and for example, the Chang servants among the cronies of the Son of Heaven also appeared in the main hall, which makes the civil and military who appeared in the main hall at this time a little confused and even feel that the situation has become confusing.
Why?
Because of the relatives, none of the relatives appeared, whether it was Dong Hussar or He Butcher, these two did not appear from beginning to end, not even their cronies, many people began to muttered in their hearts, maybe a good show was being staged somewhere at this time to eliminate relatives, but these civil and military officials could not show it, let alone discuss it with others.
