Chapter 125: The Struggle for the Throne
At this time, as long as they are qualified to go to the court to discuss politics, almost all of them already know about the death of the Son of Heaven and the attack on the general. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoIf the general is dead, then needless to say, the most important person in the court is the Empress Dowager Dong, and everyone doesn't have to think about anything, just wait for the holy decree with peace of mind.
But now He Jin is still alive and well, and things are different. At least, in the eyes of insiders, a bloody storm is indispensable. As for who is unlucky in the bloody storm, it is naturally the neighbors around the sons of heaven in the palace. Because of this, many people are happy to watch the show.
It's just that, to everyone's surprise, until the general entered the palace to preside over the government, the troops stationed around Luoyang and the people gathered by Yuan Shao from Xuzhou and Yanzhou did not make any moves, making it impossible to guess what happened.
Standing in the middle of the court hall again, Han Yan looked at the Empress Dowager Dong, who was originally kind but became majestic above the main hall, and sighed silently. The two sides have different ideas, and it is already unavoidable for Han Yan to face the old man who has helped him today.
"That's it! Shut up! He Jin frowned, looked at the courtiers present, and said loudly: "The Son of Heaven has died, and the aftermath still needs to be dealt with." Let's start talking about politics! β
As soon as everyone heard He Jin speak, they all turned their eyes to the general of the dynasty. The funeral mausoleum of the Son of Heaven naturally does not need to be said, these have special people to preside, and there is a complete set of etiquette and etiquette, so there is no need for everyone to discuss. What should be discussed is naturally the question of the new emperor.
Needless to say, the generals present naturally looked at the head of the general, and the civil officials present looked at Situ Dinggong, Sikong Liu Hong and Taiwei Ma Riyan at the same time, after all, these three people are the ones who can talk to the general He Jin on an equal footing, and others are just speaking for them.
But now, Situ, Sikong and Taiwei, the three of them have maintained an unprecedented unprecedented, all holding their hands on their stomachs, their eyes slightly closed, and they look like they are recuperating with their eyes closed.
To tell the truth, between Liu Wei and Liu Xie, who is elected is actually based on personal selfishness. For example, Empress Dowager Dong or someone who is more obedient to the will of the Son of Heaven naturally supports Liu Xie, and everyone else respects Liu Xian. After all, no matter what, Liu Bian is also the eldest son of today's son, even if he is a little weak or cowardly, but according to the tradition of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, Liu Bian should still be established.
"The death of the Son of Heaven was too hasty, and there was no will left, all the civil and military, who should be elected as the new emperor, what do you think?"
Seeing that no one spoke, Empress Dowager Dong's brows furrowed, and she didn't have so many estimates, so she opened her head directly.
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, everyone knows that there must be a will to stay today, but it is not so easy to take out, otherwise, there will be no such thing as today.
"This ...... The eldest prince is courteous and elegant, and should be a candidate to inherit the throne. β
Seeing that no one spoke, He Miao, the general of the cavalry, couldn't help it a little and stood up first. In any case, Liu Bian is also his nephew, and if his maternal uncle doesn't help his nephew, then there is no heavenly reason.
"The minister is against!" He Miao stood up and spoke, Dong Chong was not to be outdone, and hurriedly stood up, "The little prince is very intelligent, very similar to the previous emperor, and he should be the best candidate to inherit the throne!" β
"Poof! Ha ......"
Hearing Dong Chong's words, Han Yan couldn't bear it anymore and laughed all of a sudden, but Han Yan also knew that this was not the place, so he hurriedly coughed twice to hide his faux pas.
It's just that Han Yan's laughter is really not small, and everyone present heard it clearly. But everyone also understood what Han Yan was laughing at. Similar to the emperor? Doesn't that mean that the little prince is also a promiscuous? Then he still inherited the throne, what do you really think is that the foundation of the Han Dynasty is too solid?
There was a hint of a smile on everyone's face, but Dong Chong couldn't laugh, not only couldn't he laugh, but his face turned red. Stretching out his hand to point at Han Yan, Dong Zhong said angrily: "Why, Captain Zuo thinks that the old man's words are wrong!" β
"Ahh Not really! Waving his hand, Han Yan denied it, but then said again: "I just think that there are too many tribulations in the Han Dynasty over the years, and a benevolent monarch is far better than a Ming monarch, good for the Han Dynasty and the people of the world." β
It was supposed to be a scene of verbal swords, but Han Yan gently pushed it away. A hint of approval flashed in Ma Riyan's slightly open eyes, but it was fleeting, and no one noticed it.
And Dong Chong, because he is a simple general, is not good at responding to machine changes, and he can't find words to refute at this time.
"Captain Zuo!" Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Empress Dowager Dong couldn't sit still, "A Ming Jun means that the country is stable and the territory is expanded, why is it not as good as Renjun?" β
To the left of the Empress Dowager Dong, it was the Empress He of the current dynasty who was seated, and on the left was the ignorant and naΓ―ve prince Liu Bian. On the right side of the Empress Dowager Dong, there was the little prince Liu Xie, who was looking at Han Yan vigilantly at this time.
"Back to the Queen Mother, everyone knows what the facts are, in fact, there is no need to say more."
Shaking his head slightly, Han Yan gave up the plan to directly confront, after all, Empress Dowager Dong had helped her, and revenge was really not what Han Yan wanted.
"Very well, Captain Zuo. Not to mention anything else, just the two princes, who do you support? β
It seems that she knows that she may not be able to be reasonable, but Empress Dowager Dong simply stated that she was too right, and directly pressed Han Yan.
"Well, can you just ask Situ? Isn't it Situ's duty to educate on etiquette? β
Han Yan shrugged his shoulders and pushed Ding Gong out, but he took a step back and retreated into the generals.
"That's good! Ding Palace, you come! β
Seeing that Han Yan simply shirked it, Empress Dowager Dong was really a little angry, and directly named her.
Ding Gong looked at the two colleagues beside him, a wry smile appeared on his face, and then he stepped forward, saluted, and then said in a low voice: "Back to the Queen Mother, since ancient times, the establishment of the heir is not the virtuous, and the son is not the long!" β
"You!" Empress Dowager Dong really didn't expect Ding Gong to really dare to say this, she was angry in her heart, and laughed angrily, "Okay, good!" A good one to stand up to be long, not virtuous! A good stand is expensive but not long! Then let me ask you, is it the honor of Xie'er around me, or the honor of Zhi'er! β
"This ...... The lower officials don't know. Ding Gong smiled bitterly and shook his head, he really didn't know how to answer, but when he shook his head with a wry smile, Ding Gong saw Han Yan in the crowd at a glance, his eyes rolled, and he had an idea, "Queen Mother, the minister thinks that Captain Zuo is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he has a thousand words, he should know, why don't you ask him?" β
