Chapter 497 is cloudy

"Dare to ask who it is?" Qin Hui asked in a low voice with a solemn face. (Niu Wen ~ Net)

Xu Shao didn't know what to say, picked up the teacup and said, "This is not the most important thing. Yes, Brother Song, let me ask, can you do this with the three of you? Qin Huizhi and Xu Song both shook their heads, this is an obvious matter, just the three of us, it is an ant to shake Mount Tai.

"Yes, this matter must unite the people with lofty ideals in the court, and there must be important ministers who are among the rulers to participate, so that the chances of victory are great." Xu Shao said. There are three present, he is an idle official, Xu Han is already a foreign official in legal terms, although Qin Hui is one of the members of the detailed discussion department, but after all, he belongs to the Taiwan admonition system and is not in the second government of the government. The government and the privy government are in charge of civil and military affairs, and they must be represented by the participation of senior officials of these two governments.

"It's not difficult to contact the people with lofty ideals in the DPRK, but the ruling ministers ......," Xu Han shook his head and said. Zaizhi, which is the abbreviation of the prime minister and the ruling party, who is the zaizhi? The chief officials of the two government offices, that is, the left and right servants of the Shangshu, the left and right Cheng, the governor of the political affairs, the privy envoy (the privy council), the privy deputy envoy (the same as the privy council affairs), and the signing of the Privy Council.

At present, among the officials who hold these positions in the DPRK and the central government, Shangshu's left and right servants are Geng Nanzhong, Shangshu's right and Huang Qianshan are his henchmen, the privy envoy is vacant, the privy deputy envoy is also vacant, and Liu Yanqing, the privy councillor who signed the book, is a military minister. In this way, there is only one Shangshu Zuo Cheng Zhu Shengfei left.

"Zhu Shengfei's attitude is quite vague, but he is not attached to Geng Nanzhong, but he avoids many things and can't see a clear position." Qin Hui said worriedly.

Xu Shao pondered for a long time, and said solemnly: "In this way, the two of you are responsible for contacting your colleagues in the DPRK and China, and in order to avoid being inconsiderate and leaking it again, only the ministers who clearly expressed their approval of the Zen throne in today's court meeting." As for Zhu Shengfei, don't alarm him first. At the end, add a sentence "The situation is urgent, don't seize the opportunity, Geng Nanzhong may do it tomorrow"

Qin Xu and the two officials should be down, but Qin Hui still has worries in his heart, frankly speaking, this is a coup d'état, a little careless, that is, a son is wrong to lose the coup d'état, not to mention that all the ministers involved have to take in, the impact on the court and the country is incalculable

After thinking about it again and again, he still decided to express the doubts in his heart: "Xianggong, Xu appeased, and the lower official has one more mouth." The official family and Geng Nanzhong have already mobilized the troops of the palace front division into the city, even if we unite many ministers to do things together, this is not a military handle in hand, and it is very likely that it will be a failure at the last moment."

Xu Shao had to re-examine the young Taiwan chief in front of him, it seems that not all the officials are lacking in heart, at least this Qin Huizhi has thought things through. Yes, if Geng Nanzhong didn't use the army, then we might be able to do it, but since he used the internal guards of the front division of the palace, it is clear that he will come at a critical moment If we don't have armed forces in our hands, you can't shake him if you say that you go through the sky

"Brother Song, you were in charge of the cardinal mansion before, and you have something to ask for advice below." Xu Shao said suddenly.

"Please come in." Xu Han nodded.

"Before, the Privy Counsellor stayed in Zhenjiang to lead the anti-Jin. With the troops of the Imperial Camp Division as the mainstay, supplemented by the troops of the Tokyo Left-behind Division, the Jurchens were finally blocked in Jiangbei, right? ”

"Yes, especially the navy under the control of the Imperial Battalion Division, which has established a special honor in preventing the Jin army from crossing the river," Xu Han replied.

"Then may I ask, has the imperial court rewarded these meritorious soldiers?" Xu Shao asked.

When he mentioned this, Xu Han became angry and snorted coldly: "When the lower officials were in charge of the cardinal's mansion, they used to reward the military merits reported according to their ranks. Didn't Geng Nanzhong have two ministers and control the government? I didn't see the official family, so I reported to the government, but Geng Nanzhong pushed me back and forth, and I never did it. For this reason, Liu Yanqing argued with me no less than five or six times, I don't blame him, he was also forced by the soldiers to have no choice, and Geng Thief for his own selfishness, instead of promoting meritorious generals, he tried his best to install his henchmen into the army, which caused a lot of complaints. Qin Zhongcheng should also know about this, right? ”

Qin Hui took over the conversation: "Yes, on this matter, my Imperial History Tai official impeached him several times, but not only did he not bring him down, but suffered his revenge. ”

Xu Shao was silent for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he asked: "Now except for the front division of the palace, which is the closest unit to Hangzhou?" ”

Xu Han thought for a while and replied: "The right army of the Tokyo Left-behind Division is the same as Wang Gui, and it is stationed in Yuhang. ”

"Wang Gui? It's him? Yue Pengju's subordinates ......," Xu Shao muttered. Then he said, "What is the origin of the troops of the front division of the palace?" ”

"The troops of the front division of the palace turned out to be mainly the Chang Jie army led by He Guan's eldest son, He Ji. He Guan was dismissed, Geng Nanzhong could not believe He Ji, and transferred him to Zhenjiang Mansion, and now the origin of the troops of the front division of the palace has only changed recently, and the lower officials have left their posts at that time, and it is unknown. Xu Han said.

When Xu Shao heard this, he said in a low voice: "If necessary, I will go to Yuhang to see Wang Gui in person." ”

At the moment, the plan has been decided, Qin Hui and Xu Han are responsible for contacting the ministers, and Xu Shao has repeatedly instructed them not to return to the house or go to the yamen to prevent accidents.

Qin Xu and the two responded, and when they were about to go their separate ways, Xu Shao said: "Don't worry, before that, the three of us have to do one thing."

"What?" Qin Hui and Xu Han asked in unison.

"In the case that the official family does not take the initiative to take the Zen position, if you want to replace the government and support the new monarch, you must be famous in order to serve the public. Our actions must be in accordance with the law, otherwise we will be spurned and opposed by the world, and our reputation will be ruined, and our descendants will be ruined," Xu Shao said heavily.

"Then how can we be legal?" Qin Hui asked.

"Get an edict" Xu Shao's eyes were like torches.

Qin Hui and Xu Han glanced at each other, and their faces were happy, because they guessed who the person Xu Shao had not said all along

The boatman swung the oar, and the canopy paddled through the water in the West Lake and sailed to the north shore. It was spring in February, everything was recovering, and the beautiful scenery of West Lake was the best in the world, but these three people had no intention of appreciating it. After the boat reached the north shore, the three of them landed, and after a short time, they came to a mountain.

Looking up, although the mountain is not high, there is a fairy name. The name of this mountain is Ge Ling, and there is an immortal Ge Hong who has practiced here when it is passed on in the Jin Dynasty, and he calls himself Puzi. Xu Shao and other three people stood under the mountain gate, only to see the door plaque, hugging Pulu three simple and vigorous big characters dragon flying phoenix dance, the weather is thousands of steps along the mountain gate, there is a scenic spot here, that is, the gable wall with the ups and downs of the mountain is like a galloping dragon, so it is also called "dragon wall".

On the main court, to the main hall, is the Gexian Palace, serving the people who hold Puzi Ge Xian. Nowadays, due to the promotion of the imperial court, Taoism is prevalent among the people, and there are many pilgrims who come to ask for immortals and make wishes. Xu Shao and the others avoided the crowd and threw themselves behind. Cross the stone road, go around the old king's palace, and you will arrive at a quiet place, a half-idle hall.

Visitors and pilgrims stopped here, and in front of the main entrance of the half-idle hall, the path was guarded by two coats and hair, and no one was allowed to enter. Xu Shao winked at Qin Xu and the others, and stepped forward.

"A few people stop, no trespassing here." Before they could get closer, a Taoist priest had already come up to stop them.

Before Zhao Huan ascended the throne, Xu Shao was already a member of the Privy Council and belonged to the list of former ministers, so he said: "As soon as the Taoist chief reported, he said that Xu Shao asked to see the Taoist monarch." ”

When the little Dao heard this, he was taken aback, and the person who knew that Dao Jun was here was of course of course of an unusual origin. After exchanging glances with another Taoist priest, he said to the three of them, "Please wait a moment." After finishing the words, he reported from the inside.

Taking advantage of this gap, the three of them looked at the half-idle hall. Needless to say, the towering ones will be ancient trees, and the strange ones will be strange stones, and the flat stone slabs will be swept spotlessly, and the spring will return, and the mountain will be lush and beautiful, and it will be a fairy-like place

Suddenly, he saw Xiaodao walking out quickly, and turned sideways and asked, "Three please." ”

"There is labor." The three of them returned the salute and followed him into the semi-idle hall. In the front courtyard of the hall, among the flowers and plants, there is a strange stone, with three characters on it, and a simple stone. It's a pity that Xu Shao and others didn't have the leisure to appreciate elegantly, after the courtyard, bypassing the main hall, passing through the porch to the back of the hall, and seeing a long pavilion, several zhang long, stretching to the back of the mountain.

In the pavilion, several attendants dressed in brocade clothes and holding dust in their hands were looking at the three uninvited guests. Xu Shao, Qin Hui, and Xu Han all turned a blind eye, walked through the long pavilion, and arrived at the back of the mountain.

There, there is a large stone with a radius of nearly half of the cliff, and it is extremely smooth, and it is very smooth, and at this time, a person on the stone is meditating, leaving everyone with a clear and ethereal back.

The three of them all quickened their steps and went forward, bowing and saying, "The ministers knock to see the emperor."

shouted out, but the other party did not respond, Xu Qin and Xu Sanchen could only kneel, and did not dare to make any more noise. After waiting for a while, Fang heard Dao Jun Taishang say: "The emperor is sick and inconvenient to see things, you don't want to deal with official business, what are you doing here?" ”

Xu Han is a straight man, and said loudly: "The DPRK and China are full of crises, disaster is coming, and the ministers have to come to ask to see the Taishang Daojun for the sake of the family and the country."

The world always belongs to the Zhao family, and when Daojun heard this, he couldn't sit down. Slowly got up, turned around, only to see the five old crowns on the head, wearing three clear robes, the mountain wind passed by, the robe hunting, a good faction of fairy wind bones and clear eyebrows, magnificent, reflecting the mountains discolored, according to the grass and trees ashamed, a good Taishang Daojun

After returning to Jiangnan from Fuzhou, due to the incomplete palace, the emperor lived in Cai Jing's mansion. Emperor Zhao Ji, because of his belief in Taoism, asked to hug Puzi Ge Hong's immortal deeds to cultivate, Zhao Huan's surveillance of his father over the years was slightly relaxed, and he did not stop him, so he let him come to this Hupu Lu to live temporarily.

Where do you start? Where does the disaster come from? It's all flat, Xu Shao, you say. Zhao Ji asked. Among the three ministers, he only knew Xu Shao.

Xu Shao thanked him and got up, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Back to Taishang Daojun, since the official family has a combined wind, he ignores the government for a long time, and all the major military affairs are entrusted to Geng Nanzhong. As soon as he came to power, he fled to many important ministers in the court, gathered great power in one body, deceived the upper and lower, and deceived the saint to listen to today, Geng thief agitated the official family, summoned the ministers and hundreds of officials to discuss the court, declared that the official family was Zen, and asked the Manchu Dynasty ......"

When Zhao Ji heard this, his face changed: "Inner Zen? "I was surprised, but it made sense when I thought about it. The emperor's wind disease is not more painful than the general disease, the two feet can not walk, the right hand is difficult to hold the pen, Yu Chaozheng is indeed not enough, it coincides with the end of the Song and Jin wars, and the peace agreement has been completed, at this time the inner Zen, let the prince ascend the throne is indeed the best time. "The emperor's internal meditation at this time was originally a good thing, why did it become a disaster again?"

"Yu Taishang Daojun Neizen is false, leading hundreds of officials into the Yan is true Geng Nanzhong since he was in power, excluding dissidents, the party is the same as the other, making the court above the black smoke miasma, people and gods are angry that he encouraged the official family to do this, but it is rumored that someone in the court wants to play, suggesting that the official family is in Zen, so the first strike is strong, the intention is to list the ministers who agree with the inner Zen to crack down on the persecution, if this matter is successful, for the sake of my Great Song Dynasty 180 years of unseen disasters Therefore, the ministers and other three have to risk death to come to tell the Taishang" Xu Han said loudly.

Zhao Ji's expression became more and more gloomy, and he set a trap for the minister to drill, even when I was in power, I didn't do this, which obviously violated the ancestors' instructions to "rule the world with scholars", so Geng Nanzhong was too bold, right?

However, Zhao Ji is obviously not a foolish person, and questioned: "These words are all the words of the three of you, can there be evidence?" ”

"In order to prevent incidents, Geng Nanzhong has transferred the troops of the former division of the palace into Hangzhou City, and his wolf ambitions, if it is obvious that the ministers have the courage to say a word, what is the difference between Geng and Wei Wu?" Qin Hui said at the right time.

What is Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, most famous for? coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes

When Zhao Ji heard this, he changed his color Geng Nan Zhong'an dared to be such an emperor, and he was entrusted with all the major affairs of the military state, it was already inappropriate for him to act so arrogantly, and now he actually mobilized the army, intending to suppress, and did he not put the ancestral training and national law in his eyes I didn't see it when I chose him to serve in the East Palace in the first place, he still has such ambitions

The angry Emperor Daojun shook off the dust and asked, "You and others are all important ministers in the court, do you just let him do such evil?" ”

"The Emperor Taishang, the minister of the central government, is either far away, or attached to him, the ministers dare to be angry and dare not say that the officials are deceived by it, and the hard work of the ministers is difficult to reach the heavens, and they are really helpless, so they came to seek advice from the Taishang" Xu Shao said heartbrokenly.

Zhao Ji is also a person who has been an emperor for decades, he knows that these three people have come, asking for advice is false, asking for help is true, and he must have been confident. Then he said: "When you are in a hurry, if you have any proposals, it doesn't hurt to say it directly. ”

Xu Shao and Qin Hui didn't say anything, Xu Han put his heart sideways, and said: "Taishang's only plan for the present, one is to depose the Geng thief, and the other is to help the new monarch to ascend the throne, there is no other good way."

When Zhao Ji heard this, he immediately understood. You want to start a change and support the new king, but you are suffering from the lack of a teacher, so you found me and asked the emperor to give you the legitimacy of your actions

As soon as he thought of this, he asked, "Who should the new monarch appoint?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Hui and Xu Han didn't do anything, but Xu Shao had a cold war, so do you need to ask? The official family has a prince, of course, it is to support the prince to ascend the throne, and we are not rebelling, can we still set up others? The Emperor asked this, could it be something else?

"The prince is sixteen years old, benevolent and virtuous, and can succeed the unification" Xu Han said.

Zhao Ji nodded: "Prince Chen is a sincere child, so what do you want the Emperor to do?" ”

"Please send down an edict from the Taishang and allow the ministers to support the crown prince to ascend the throne," Xu Shaolang said.

Zhao Ji didn't say anything, turned around, stood on the boulder, overlooking the West Lake, thoughtfully. At the beginning, when he was advancing vigorously in the Jin army, he had no choice but to give up the throne and fled to the southeast. To be honest, he was in the prime of life at that time, and he was not willing to be an emperor who was only in charge of religious affairs. So there are actions such as the interception angle and the king of stopping, which does have the meaning of restoration.

Later, the situation changed, and he had to return to Tokyo. But from then on, he lost his freedom, was arranged to live in Longde Palace, and was closely monitored for his every word and deed, and his inner servants reported to his son, and lived like a prisoner, until recently, the situation has changed slightly.

However, as a son, the emperor's filial piety was indebted to the routine visits four times a month, and he often did not come once. On the birthday of the emperor, he often sent the prince to congratulate him, but he did not come in person, but the emperor often visited him, not to mention that the emperor's house is an ordinary person, is there such a thing

Now, the emperor is suffering from wind and is unable to govern, so he should take the throne as soon as possible and let the new king reign in the world. How can you still use traitors to control the government, frame loyal ministers, and provoke the anger of the heavens and people?

In public and private, Zhao Huan's throne should indeed be conceded

But the matter is big, and if you are not careful, it will shake the country's foundation, and it is just that, but now that Beiyi is eyeing the tiger and the country is in crisis, I really can't withstand such a toss, and I can't just rely on the words of these three ministers, and send an edict to let them launch a coup d'état

Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huai and Huai are all transferred to the Department of Administration

A place was set aside here for the temporary office of the East House. Geng Nanzhong paced back and forth in a brightly lit room, he didn't wear a hat, he looked very impatient with his hands behind his back, as if he was waiting for some news. Huang Qianshan sat in a chair, and a pair of eyes moved with his movements.

The official family has already issued an edict, and immediately took Xu Shao, Qin Hui, Xu Han and other ministers, and handed them over to Dali Temple for strict interrogation, and it is necessary to investigate the case of "forcing the palace to force Zen".

Geng Nanzhong had also assigned his minions to arrest the three masterminds, and now, he was waiting for a response.

"Don't worry, the three of them can't fly, and later, there will be good news back." Huang Qianshan couldn't help but feel relieved.

Geng Nanzhong stopped and slapped a copy next to him with a bang: "Xu Shao Xu Shao is not worried about anyone, just worry about this Xu Shao" After finishing his words, he took a few more steps, and continued, "He said that he was not sick, and he suspected that he had deceived this old thief, who was originally an old minister of Taishang, and he didn't know what means he used. The Western Army has fought such a big defeat, and the officials haven't even said a word about him, this guy is not simple, he won't be caught."

Huang Qianshan was about to speak, but he saw an official hurriedly enter, and said with a panicked expression: "The prince is not good, Xu Shao, Qin Hui, and Xu Han are missing."
