Chapter 16: What the Hero Sees
Above the lobby, the introduction has been completed, with the banquet on the table, everyone has also begun to enter the topic, and now the struggle between the forces of relatives and eunuchs inside and outside Luoyang City has entered a white-hot degree, and the specific means of struggle is to compete for the position of the prince.
Everyone knows that Emperor Liu Hong's body is weakening day by day, and he is afraid that he will die soon, but the position of the crown prince has not been decided; Emperor Ling had only two sons, one was Liu Bian, the eldest son of the emperor born to Empress He, and the other was Liu Xie, the second son of the emperor born to Wang Meiren.
A few years ago, Empress He out of jealousy, sent someone to secretly kill Wang Meiren with poisoned wine, although this move was said to get rid of the rival in one fell swoop, but at the same time it also angered Emperor Ling of Han, and there was a contradiction between the emperor and the queen, since then the second son of the emperor Liu Xie has been raised by Emperor Ling's biological mother, Empress Dowager Dong, because of her talent, she has always been loved by the Empress Dowager Dong and the emperor, and has also been strongly supported by the eunuch group headed by the 'Ten Standing Servants'.
Before that, the two power groups had fought several times on the issue of establishing the crown prince, one side had the natural advantage of being the eldest son of the emperor, and the other side was more favored by the emperor, so the two sides were evenly matched and had not been able to distinguish the winner.
"Lord Zhang is a general in commanding the army, guarding one side, he must have foresight, and he will not hesitate to give advice on the matter of establishing a prince!" As the master of this room, He Jin first provoked the topic, and at the same time, he was also forcing Zhang Yang to completely state his political position and completely stand on his side.
"Xia Guan has been in the town for a long time, and he is not very familiar with the situation in Beijing, everyone here is a famous person in the world, and he must have foresight and insight, Zhang will listen first!" Zhang Yang has been in the officialdom for a long time, how can he be the first bird, and kick the ball back very smoothly.
Although these people here sit together because of temporary political interests, in fact, there is also intrigue between them, everyone has their own little ninety-nine, but also has their own hole card, whoever speaks first, whose hole card will be exposed, and in the political struggle, the hole card first used up, there is only one left to be calculated by others. For a while, everyone looked at the mouth, the mouth asked, as if the old monk was in a fixed state, motionless each sat upright, waiting for others to expose the hole cards first, at this time the competition is a stamina.
Silence, silent silence, even a somewhat eerie silence......
Finally, in the long competition, Yuan Shu couldn't sit still for the first time, and this arrogant son of the family was the first to stand up and said: "The family has a son-in-law, and the country has a prince!" Since ancient times, the prince must be the first to set up a son-in-law, this is the eternal rule, the prince Liu Bian is the son of Queen He, it is a logical thing to support the crown prince, in the view of art, tomorrow please contact the old ministers of the court, together on the table, the heir! ”
Yuan Shu's words sounded righteous and righteous, but they were actually insinuations; As we all know, among the two brothers of the Yuan family, the eldest brother Yuan Shao is a concubine, and the younger brother Yuan Shu is a concubine, between the two Yuans, there has been a fight, and there has always been a discord between the face and the heart.
"The little brother's words are biased!" Seeing the fire burning on his head, Yuan Shao couldn't sit still, but on the surface he still maintained the demeanor of a child of a family, and first got up and saluted before he spoke: "As we all know, today's saint is not a descendant, and there was no child after the death of Emperor Huan in the past, so he welcomed the current saint to succeed to the unification, if the general wrote to establish a successor, wouldn't it question the legitimacy of the emperor's accession to the throne; That will only backfire, in the opinion of Shao: eventful, the country depends on the monarch! The prince Liu Biannai is the eldest son of His Majesty, and he also asked the general to write and establish a chief! ”
Yuan Shao's meaning was also to support the prince Liu Wei, but with the life experience of Emperor Ling of Han, he skillfully transformed Liyan into Lichang, not only fought back against Yuan Shu's provocation just now, but also clearly told everyone that the elders and youngsters are orderly, and the Yuan family will have to rely on his eldest son to take the helm in the future.
Before the common enemy was defeated, his own people started infighting, and this strong smell of gunpowder even smelled He Jin, a general who was born as a butcher, but he didn't care about the fight between the two brothers of the Yuan family, no matter what.
In desperation, he had no choice but to shift the target, He Jin's eyes turned, and he happened to see Cao Cao still sitting there steadily, as if he had been thinking about something, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Meng De thinks?" ”
Hearing He Jin call his name, Cao Cao opened a pair of fine eyes, and after glancing at everyone present with a shining eye, he said slowly: "In Cao's opinion, in the matter of establishing a reserve, it is better not to stand, and it is really advantageous not to stand!" After speaking, he returned to thinking with his eyes closed, but the corners of his mouth inadvertently showed a contemptuous smile......
"Oh! ……”
Cao Cao's words were a bit esoteric and difficult to understand, and everyone fell into deep thought for a while, what is it better not to stand than to stand? ……
Although everyone was confused, Xiao Yi, who was standing with a sword in the hall, immediately understood what Cao Cao meant: "The traitor is worthy of being a traitor!" The political power trick is played beautifully, and all the essence of the matter is explained in just one sentence! ”
Cao Cao's words have three meanings to interpret
First: Liu Wei was originally the eldest son and the son-in-law, but he was not made the crown prince for a long time, it can be seen that in the heart of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is the second son Liu Xie, but he is afraid of the power of the general He Jin in the court, and the tradition of the first eldest son in the dynasty, so he has been hesitant to establish the prince.
Second, since the emperor is really optimistic about the emperor's second son Liu Xie, if everyone writes now and sets off a storm of the prince, I am afraid that the chances of winning will be very small, and it is likely to backfire, forcing the emperor to make up his mind and push the emperor's second son Liu Xie up.
Finally, on the other hand, if you don't establish a prince, who will inherit the throne when the emperor ascends to heaven?
The answer is: if there is no clear prince, then it will be necessary to act in accordance with the ancestral family law and the inheritance system of the elders of the past dynasties, so that the emperor's eldest son Liu Wei will naturally ascend to the throne.
Therefore, it is more beneficial for their group not to establish a prince now than to establish a prince!
……………………
After half a ring, everyone slowly understood the meaning, although they didn't speak, but their expressions were obviously very much in favor of Cao Cao's opinion.
Taishou Zhang Yang also nodded frequently in his seat, and couldn't help but glance at this Cao Cao, who was not amazing, "It's really a person who can't be seen, and the sea can't be measured......"
"What does Xiao Lang think?" After listening to everyone's suggestions, Zhang Yang turned around and secretly asked Xiao Yi, who was standing behind him, obviously he recognized the wisdom of this young man very much.
"Go back to your lordship, let him rise in the wind and waves, as long as he sits firmly on the boat gang and holds the steel fork tightly, he will get something!" Xiao Yi also replied softly, while secretly raising the sword that had been clenched in his hand.
In the face of strength, all fireworks bubbles are virtual, and now the court seems to be changing, but in the end, I am afraid that we have to use force to solve all problems. So his meaning is very simple, remind Zhang Yang that if he holds the military power in his hands, he will definitely become the fisherman who will benefit in the end.
…………
Just when everyone was drinking and discussing in the lobby, in the darkness outside the corridor, a pair of peach blossom eyes were coldly peeking at everything inside, especially when they saw Xiao Yi's vigorous body, they showed a kind of madness like a hungry dog, as if they wanted to pounce on it immediately and take a bite.
Yat Siu...... Xiao Wuchou ...... No worries! We meet again......" With the sound of gnashing teeth, by the bright lights outside the lobby, a thin young figure with willow eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, a tall nose, and lips as red as cherries slowly revealed; It was the 'Zimu Child' who fled from the Panlong Pavilion like a lost dog a few months ago.
It turned out that after Zimu Gongzi escaped from Panlong Pavilion, he ran directly to Luoyang in one go, relying on the fact that he had a little friendship with Yuan Shu before, and gave the 'broken army' treasure knife as a gift. Because he is handsome and chic, coupled with his articulate and long-sleeved dancing skills, after a few months, he has been mixed up......
The current 'Zimu Gongzi' is very different from before, he was originally a person with high intelligence, but it has been too smooth before, which made him have an extremely conceited psychology, the last time the 'Panlong Pavilion' was wiped out overnight, which greatly stimulated his soul, but at the same time, it also honed his mind, just like quenching a dagger and cutting it; Today's 'purple wood' can be described as glorious and introverted, as deep as the sea.
glanced at the scene of the general He Jin and Taishou Zhang Yang discussing things in the inner hall, and when his eyes turned, Zimu Gongzi seemed to have realized something......
He knows the current situation in Luoyang City well; It seems that an opportunity to soar and take revenge is just around the corner! With a gritted sneer, the figure swayed and disappeared into the darkness......
After a while, a fat pig-like figure sneaked out of the corner door of the backyard of the General's Mansion, looked left and right at no one, and touched his arms again, looking uneasy, and then took out a letter from his arms, carefully stuffed it into his boots, and then covered his face with black veil, stepped out of his two small short legs, and ran directly to the residence of the eunuchs behind the palace, and quickly disappeared into the dark night with a slight footstep......
Above the lobby, an hour later, Zhang Yang got up to say goodbye, and after resolutely declining He Jin's request to open the main gate and send each other off, he took Xiao Yi and more than a dozen guards along the original road and returned to the barracks outside the city.
Along the way, Zhang Yang frowned, "If you don't have knowledge, you have to have a little knowledge, right?" Even if you don't know it, you have to have some common sense! But this butcher general ...... Ay! …… Xiao Lang! Can big things happen now? ”
If Zhang Yang was still seventy percent sure before, then now that he has seen the 'butcher general' He Jin, I am afraid that he will not even be fifty percent.
"My lord, now that you have met a teammate like a pig, now you can only pray that you don't run into a god-like opponent!" Xiao Yi also replied helplessly.
