The ancients said that officialdom was like a battlefield.

But sometimes, or some occasions, the bloody wind of officialdom is better than the battlefield, and it can be said that there is no blood in real murder!

If you are not careful, you will die invisibly.

For An Lushan's group of ministers, although in the early days, most of them were inclined to appoint King Zheng as the prince, and secretly communicated with him, so that when King Zheng ascended the throne in the future, he would also have a chicken dog to ascend to heaven.

But the situation is different now.

An Lushan is dead, and he died unexpectedly, and King Zheng is nowhere to be found, Li Zhu'er insisted that it was King Zheng who did it, undoubtedly leaving a headless public case here.

An Lushan's personal eunuch Li Zhu'er, as well as the general Yan Zhuang of Qianniuwei, all insisted that it was King Zheng's hand, although the truth of the matter may not be simple, but in front of him, King Zheng was already at the bottom of public opinion and facts.

Shi Chaoyi was anxious, he was worried about King Zheng's whereabouts!

Although he had a bad premonition, King Zheng was afraid that he had been poisoned, but if he really solved his doubts on the spot, he was afraid that his words would be pale and weak!

After all, King Jin has already gone to Tongluo!

An Lushan only has two sons-in-law, and now King Zheng is missing, and he is also charged with killing his father and killing the king, although the king of Jin went to the north, and the person is not in the court, but at this moment, it seems that he is the best choice for the prince.

Therefore, the ministers who supported King Zheng at the beginning are secretly thinking in their hearts at this moment, how to deal with this situation is the best of both worlds.

They are also in a dilemma, if they rashly fall to the King of Jin, if King Zheng comes back in the future, and with the support of Shi Siming's father and son, they will undoubtedly be able to make a comeback!

But if King Zheng can't come back, where should he go?

So all of a sudden, there were two situations among the civil and military generals in the Fanyang City Palace, to be exact, there should be three!

One is to continue to support King Zheng, they insist that King Zheng will not be the murderer of his father and king, there are still many doubts in the joints, it is difficult to determine the truth of the matter based on Li Zhu'er's words alone!

The other is that they have an ambiguous attitude, they neither defend King Zheng, nor explain for Shi Chaoyi, let alone mention the matter of King An Qingxu of Jin, just say that they will think about it in the long run!

The third voice is quietly biased towards the King of Jin, and in their words, there is quite a support for Yan Zhuang and Li Zhu'er, and there are quite a few complaints about Shi Chaoyi leading troops into the city.

And the focus and center of this controversy is no longer the dead An Lushan, the missing King Zheng and An Qingxu in the north, but Shi Chaoyi and Yan Zhuang as the center.

Because both of them have military power in their hands, and they are equal in strength!

Yan Zhuang and Shi Chaoyi confronted each other, and neither of them dared to act rashly, because neither of them was sure of victory.

Shi Chaoyi knew in his heart that he and King Zheng had fallen into the trap of King Jin and Yan Zhuang, and he led his troops into the city, although in fact he was escorted by King Qin, but after all, he started a war with Qianniuwei, and when he saw blood, the generals led troops into the imperial city, which was an unprecedented precedent, so Shi Chaoyi inevitably fell into a critic's mouth.

And Yan Zhuang also hesitated in his heart, not to mention that he might not be able to wipe out Shi Chaoyi and his men here, even if he could defeat him, or even kill Shi Chaoyi on the spot, but Shi Siming standing behind him could not be ignored, if he provoked the old wolf, he would definitely pounce on him with bared teeth.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, because you could hear the sound of small footsteps outside and inside the Imperial City, as well as the sound of shaking armor and weapons!

Needless to say, this must be the prelude to the two parties, secretly gathering and preparing for a rush!

The current scene is embarrassing and tense, An Lushan's body is still there, and his own men and horses are preparing to start a battle for the heir, and the strange thing is that the two key figures of the heir, King Jin and King Zheng, are not present, but their supporters are here to fight the sabre!

If An Lushan is still alive, it is estimated that he will be angry again.

Now the other ministers don't dare to speak, for fear that if they say the wrong word, they will stand on the wrong team, and the end of standing on the wrong team will be the same as An Lushan, maybe as soon as they speak, they will become a guy who will never speak in the next quarter of an hour.

They suddenly remembered an allusion in their hearts, which is called the mortuary before the cold, and the armor fights!

Right now!

There were two guards running outside the palace gate, looking at their dress, one was Qianniuwei, and the other was the patrol of the outer city!

The two ran into the palace gate and each said a word to his master.

Yan Zhuang and Shi Chaoyi glanced at each other with a tacit understanding, Yan Zhuang took the lead and said: "General Shi, since ancient times, military generals can't enter the city, and you not only committed a big taboo today, but now you actually transfer troops and send generals, and transfer all the outer patrol men and horses into the inner city, dare to ask General Shi, what do you want, do you really want to change the day?" ”

Shi Chaoyi looked at Yan Zhuang and sneered: "If I really want to force the palace to rebel, how can I not prepare in advance and gather a large number of people?" The reason why I led troops into the city today was precisely to protect King Qin, but I didn't expect that I would be one step late! And you solemnly tampered with the holy decree in a vain attempt to assist the King of Jin in rebellion, I am not trying to change the day, but to set things right and purge the Qing Dynasty! ”

Yan Zhuang's face turned pale, and then said: "Shi Chaoyi, you are really presumptuous!" Now that the bones of the Lord are not cold, you dare to act so boldly? What will happen to you if the new emperor ascends the throne in the future? Don't you want to have a Fan Yang Feng Zen and replace it?! ”

The two had another fierce argument, the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable!

In the face of stern questioning, Shi Chaoyi was about to defend, but unexpectedly Li Zhu'er said at this time: "Two generals, don't fight!" What Lord Shilang said is reasonable, now that the bones of the Lord are not cold, we must not wait for any more self-generated infighting, so as not to let Tang Gou see the joke, our family has a word, I don't know what the two generals and your adults think? ”

The atmosphere at the scene was embarrassing and tense, and now Li Zhu'er came out and interjected a sentence to avoid Yan Zhuang and Shi Chaoyi's-for-tat, so they all said: "Li Changshi, please speak." ”

Li Zhu'er looked at An Lushan's corpse with a look of regret on his face, sighed long, and then said: "What the two generals and the adults are arguing about are just two things! The first is who the Lord has been victimized! The second is who this candidate is! In fact, it is not difficult to verify this matter, the Lord is preparing to establish a prince, all the adults must also know, our family asks your lords, do you have any doubts about the Lord to establish the candidate for the prince today? ”

Yan Zhuang took the lead in shaking his head, while the rest of the ministers looked at each other and shook their heads, and finally Shi Chaoyi groaned for a while and shook his head.

Seeing this, Li Zhu'er nodded and said: "Since everyone here knows that the Lord is going to establish a reserve today, then the Lord must have sorted out the edict of the Prince, yes or no?" ”

Everyone nodded.

Li Zhu'er continued: "That's it, in this case, as long as we find out the edict written by the Lord, wouldn't the truth be revealed, why argue in vain here?" ”

When everyone heard this, the previous Lord Liu suddenly smiled disdainfully, "Li Changshou is the Lord's personal minister, how can we judge whether the Lord's edict has been changed by you?" ”

The ministers who supported King Zheng all nodded in agreement.

Li Zhu'er was not in a hurry, and said lightly: "Then according to Lord Liu's meaning, is there a better way?" ”

"This," Lord Liu was speechless for a moment.

Li Zhu'er glanced at Lord Liu, sneered and said: "Now that the Lord has died, I can't wait to take care of the aftermath for him, but in front of his bones, I argue endlessly, Lord Liu, tell me, what is the reason?" Is this the way of a courtier? ”

One sentence deducted a hat for Lord Liu, Lord Liu was stunned, stared at Li Zhu'er hatefully, and then said helplessly: "This official didn't mean that." ”

Shi Chaoyi was speechless, frowned, with his shrewdness, he naturally saw that there was a conspiracy in what Li Zhu'er said.

After all, Yan Zhuang had to be more serious, he analyzed the situation slightly in his heart, and suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, "Li Changshou is right, the Lord's bones are not cold, how can we kill each other in front of his spirit!" Come, pass on my order, Qianniuwei quickly withdraw, and there must be no conflict with the patrol soldiers and horses of the outer city, and those who violate the order will be killed! ”

Shi Chaoyi was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Yan Zhuang taking the initiative to withdraw his troops, he couldn't be happy in his heart.

How did he not know that Yan Zhuang's move was actually to retreat into advance, and to make a look of deep righteousness.

If you still want to do something to him, then you will really be charged with a morgue and a fight for armor!

So Shi Chaoyi also waved his hand to his subordinates, and the guards next to him took the order, and after a while, there was a sound of people and horses moving outside, but the sound was like a distance, indicating that both sides had withdrawn.

Seeing this, the group of ministers present all breathed a sigh of relief.

If there is really a fight here, these courtiers who are literary and ink will definitely be implicated, and whether they can get out of this Fanyang City Palace today may still be said.

At this time, Yan Zhuang said: "General Shi, my lords, now that the Lord has died, and whether it is done by King Zheng or not, we should first invite back the two princes to wear filial piety for His Majesty, what do you think?" ”

Everyone nodded and said, "As it should be." ”

This is Li Zhu'er said knowingly: "From our family's point of view, the next thing, the top priority, is to take care of His Majesty's funeral, arrange the mausoleum and the underground palace, on the other hand, naturally invite back the two princes to preside over the overall situation!" The next step is to find the Lord's edict of the Prince, establish the new emperor, and stabilize the situation and people's hearts, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a turmoil in my Great Yan Kingdom! ”

In the current chaotic situation, although some people have many questions in their hearts, what Li Zhu'er said is the best way.
