Chapter 125: Out of the East (4)
Above the court, there are those who are shocked, those who are happy, and those who are angry. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Xiangguo has said this!" Sima Jun pointed at Lu Buwei, and said with anger on his face: "The second son is only fourteen years old now, and his martial arts talent is not good, how can he serve the public?" â
As soon as Sima Jun said this, he immediately won the support of many ministers of the DPRK and China. And Ying Chengcheng's face also turned from sunny to cloudy because of this sentence.
When Wei Fan heard Sima Jun say this, with Lu Buwei's support, he also retorted unceremoniously: "Gongzi Cheng is the orthodox bloodline of the king, how can he not convince the public." Besides, it's just a position to oversee the army, not a commander, so why not? â
"Hehe, Lord Wei said as if he knew the army very well." Bai Li Jun of the old Qin family immediately said with a hint of mockery.
In the old Qin family, most of them were born in the army, while most of the people in the Chu family were promoted through political achievements.
Baili Jun's words were not only slapping Wei Fan's face, but also warning the people of the Chu family not to mess around.
It's just that Baili Jun didn't know that Xiong Quan was also depressed in his heart at this time.
Otherwise, as one of the three giants of the DPRK, the other two spoke one after another and began to argue. How could he still be silent, only speaking by Wei Fan, who ranked third in the Chu family, isn't this losing his own value?
Xiong Quan's cloudy eyes slowly glanced at the Chu courtiers behind him, and then he took a step slowly, and said a little oldly: "The king, the ministers also think that this move is not feasible. â
"Wow!"
As Xiong Quan's voice fell, there were sudden voices of surprise in the court. Everyone didn't expect that Xiong Quan, who had always been supposed to support Gongzi Chengchan, would oppose such a proposal in favor of Gongzi Chengchan at this time. What's going on?
It's not just that the group of small and medium-sized officials below don't understand, but even the two bigwigs, Lu Buwei or Sima Jun, are also confused.
In addition to these ministers, the same is true of Ying Zichu and Ying Chengcheng. The only one who understands Xiong Quan's thoughts at this time is the top and bottom of the court, and I'm afraid there is only Yingzheng.
Xiong Quan had already hinted at Yingzheng eight years ago and wanted to help him become king, and the entire court knew about this matter by only about ten people in total. Except for Ying Zheng, most of them are henchmen among Xiong Quan's henchmen.
And in the past eight years, most of the people in the Chu family have done nothing, and they have indeed not caused him any trouble. Faintly fulfilled his promise.
It's just that Xiong Quan wants to help Ying Zheng ascend to the throne, but will the other Chu people definitely agree? At least, the Empress Dowager Huayang and Mi Wen after the deep palace will not agree.
For Xiong Quan, helping Yingzheng to rise to the throne is at most just a temporary loss of power. After Yingzheng ascends the throne, in order to balance, he will definitely support their Chu line.
However, for women in the deep palace like the Empress Dowager Huayang and Mi Wen, there is no absolute power in their hands, and they will definitely die miserably in the deep palace.
Now Yingzi Chu has dared to treat them like this, if they wait until Yingzheng takes the throne, I am afraid that they will have no room to survive in the harem.
Therefore, for the Empress Dowager Huayang and Mi Wen, only the son Yingcheng ascended the throne was the only way to survive.
Above the court, there was a long silence again. Everyone is thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
"King! For the prosperity of the royal family, Daqin was stable. The son of a toad should not do nothing, be prepared! Unexpectedly, Wei Fan stood up again and once again supported Gongzi Chengcheng.
Now, even a fool can see that the Chu family is split.
In this regard, the happiest thing is Sima Jun, Xiong Quan's sworn enemy. Although it is not very clear the reason for the split of the Chu family, since Wei Fan dared to resist Xiong Quan in public and slap Xiong Quan in the face, this has proved that the split of the Chu family is real and not acting.
Otherwise, if a series of bigwigs make infighting with each other, won't they lose their prestige again? What will the people down there think?
All the ministers were silent, except for some Chu people who didn't know the truth, everyone looked at Xiong Quan with a playful look, wanting to see how he dealt with it.
Who knows, Xiong Quan closed his eyes again, obviously not wanting to say anything more.
On the contrary, Wei Fan was excited, originally, Xiong Quan had been in the court for decades, and the prestige he had accumulated was far beyond what he could compare. Now that Xiong Quan is silent, isn't he bowing his head to him?
As soon as he thought that he would be able to replace Xiong Quan and become the first person in the Chu family, Wei Fan was quite excited.
Xiong Quan's actions shocked everyone. However, not everyone will be like Wei Fan, thinking that Xiong Quan is old and decrepit.
It's just that after thinking about it carefully, Sima Jun, who is Xiong Quan's lifelong opponent, roughly guessed that Xiong Quan's mind was in addition to Xiong Quan's thoughts.
"Humph! This old man still wants to take refuge in the prince. No wonder for so many years, he has been like a dumb man and endured everywhere. Hmph, since that's the case, then I'll add fuel to the fire and completely cripple your Chu system! Sima Jun's cloudy eyes skimmed Xiong Quan slightly, and he sneered in his heart.
However, before Sima Jun could speak, Xiangguo Lu Buwei spoke first, "The king, please ask the king to give the second son the post of supervising the army." In addition, a general and a commander can be ordered to dominate the camp, so that it can not only convince the public, but also ensure the order of the camp. â
Sima Jun was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lu Buwei's face even more gloomy. Obviously, Sima Jun also understands that LĂź Buwei has clearly seen Xiong Quan's intentions in the past eight years.
Although the two hold the same attitude, but being a minister of the same dynasty, an opponent who is not inferior to themselves is the most tricky.
Above the main hall, Ying Zichu looked at Lu Buwei, who was respectfully waiting for him to speak, and then looked at Sima Jun, who had been talking and stopped, and finally stopped his gaze on the eight-foot-tall figure in front of the blue pool.
Obviously, Ying Zichu also understood Xiong Quan's forbearance and planning for so many years. And all of this is related to his own crown prince. Even people like Xiong Quan are willing to bow their heads in front of Ying Zheng. As a king, in order to maintain his position, he must curb the power of the prince of Yingzheng.
"Since there is Lu Buwei as a supporter, then the widow can also try it!" After thinking about the pros and cons, Ying Zichu, who always felt that the pros outweighed the disadvantages, decided to take a risk.
"Ministers, what do you think?" Ying Zichu stared at the black minister under the hall, and a majestic voice sounded.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
In addition to the ministers of the Eastern Department who stood up, more than a dozen ministers of the Chu Department also supported LĂź Buwei under the leadership of Wei Fan, while the rest of the ministers remained silent, obviously still waiting for the direction of the wind.
However, since Ying Zichu decided to improve Ying Chengchu's identity, he naturally wouldn't just wait and give the ministers time to think.
"Since this is the case, then order the second son, Ying Chengcheng, to serve as the overlord of the prison army, and supervise the reconstruction of the overlord camp!" Ying Zichu glanced at the ministers again, and when he saw that no one objected, he said again: "Then order the general, Meng Fu, and the commander will dominate the camp!" â
However, this order caused a little commotion among the ministers below. Meng Fu was dismissed for only a few days, and then he became the commander of the big battalion, which made many ministers who originally wanted to get a position frown.
But these are also old fritters above the officialdom, and it is very clear that today's focus is no longer on the position of the commander of this big battalion. It's on Gongzi Chengcheng, or rather, it's the battle for the prince in the future.
This time, Ying Zichu waited a little longer. After all, the rumors of Meng Fu at this time were just overshadowed by Yingcheng. In doing so, when someone raises objections in the future, Ying Zichu can also say in a dignified manner: "Look, the widow has given you a chance, and you have no objections." â
"In this way, the CRRC Mansion will draw up the king's decree!" Ying Zichu looked at an old eunuch beside him, nodded and said.
"Whoa!" CRRC Prefecture Ling Zuoyi responded.
Hearing Ying Zichu's words fall, Ying Chengcheng, who had been nervous for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief. looked at Ying Zheng's gaze, and began to carry a hint of mockery.
Meng Fu is the most popular general today, and the position of supervising the army not only gives him a chance to make a name for himself in the army, but also gives him a chance to work with Meng Fu.
Although Ying Chengcheng didn't quite understand the reason for the split of the Chu family at this time, in Ying Chengchan's opinion, as half of the Chu family, it would not be too difficult to integrate the Chu family at that time. As long as we grasp Meng Fu, the minister in the army, and win over LĂź Buwei, when the time comes, it will be completely up to the same strength as the current crown prince.
"Son, thank your father!" Ying Cheng, who had been proud for a while, finally remembered, and before he saluted, he hurriedly bowed to Ying Zi Chu Chang. The joy is beyond words.
Ying Chengcheng's actions did not escape Ying Zheng's eyes at all. Although today's Yingzheng has hardly opened his mouth, he already knows most things. For Ying Chengcheng's ridicule, Ying Zheng completely turned a blind eye.
"Hehe, if the court situation is really as it seems, will the ambitious King Zhao die so aggrieved?" Ying Zheng shook his head secretly in his heart and said, "It seems that Ying Cheng will not pose a threat to me in a few years......"
PS: I suddenly found that the title "East Out" was written a little early. However, no matter what, let's just use it first, I guess this title will last for several days. I originally wanted to write a sentence "my stupid brother" at the end, but I thought about it or forget it, it's a bit too much to pretend to be like this. What we want is domineering, domineering.
