Regarding the queen's summons, the three ministers who assisted the prince were all confused, and the two except Wang Hanxin came to the Yuechen Palace with a worried mood. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Before the three ministers came to the queen's bedside, they all knelt on the ground: "Weichen Yanming, Weichen Zou Feng, and the minister Wang Hanxin see Your Majesty, see the queen's mother!" ”

Liu Yan, who was sitting on the edge of the queen's collapse, watched the three of them kneel down and kowtow, but he noticed that Wang Hanxin was different from Yan Ming and Zou Feng, he was not as respectful as those two, but peeked at Queen Hua on the couch. This bold move can really cure him for a big disrespectful crime for a courtier, but Liu Yan does not plan to do this, on the one hand, the queen is critically ill at this time, and on the other hand, he knows that Wang Hanxin has a wonderful feeling for Queen Hua, because Queen Hua looks quite like Wang Hanxin's dead girlfriend.

"Three Aiqing, please. Come, give a seat. The queen whispered.

"Thank you, Queen!" The three of them all stood up when they heard this, Yan Ming and Zou Feng both sat there with their heads bowed, only Wang Hanxin glanced around with his eyes.

Empress Hua said softly: "The three Aiqing are all the pillars of our dynasty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inherits the teachings of the three on weekdays, and the palace is here to thank you in advance." ”

"Wechen is terrified." Yan Ming hurriedly replied.

The queen smiled slightly and continued: "This palace invited the three Aiqing to come because I wanted to ask the three Aiqing, and in the future, I would like to ask the three Aiqing to continue to assist my son, supervise his studies, and not disappoint His Majesty's expectations." ”

"Wechen will do his best to live up to the queen's trust!" Yan Ming got up and bowed his head.

"Weichen should also do his best to serve His Royal Highness the Prince!" Zou Feng said.

Only Wang Hanxin did not speak.

The queen looked at Wang Hanxin and said, "Is there anything difficult about Wang Aiqing?" ”

Wang Hanxin heard this, and hurriedly got up and said, "How dare the ministers entrusted by the queen mother not do their best? It's just that the minister was born in the army, and he doesn't know anything about the way of learning and governing the country, if he responds to the mother, he is really powerless, it is really a crime of defrauding the king, and if it should not be inappropriate, so he hesitates. ”

The corners of Queen Hua's mouth raised slightly when she heard this, and said, "Why should Wang Aiqing be too humble? Not to mention your intelligence, even the palace has heard of it. Besides, the way of civil and military affairs is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to learn, you know the way of governing the army, how can you not teach His Royal Highness the Prince? All I'm worried about is that you're not going to do your best. ”

Wang Hanxin hurriedly said: "The queen said so, the minister will die and forgive her sins." The ministers should do their best to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in order to do their best. ”

"In this way, the palace is relieved." When the queen said this, she lay back again, and said, "The prince will ask you." ”

Liu Yan watched coldly from the side, only to see that Queen Hua's eyes were clearly directed towards Wang Hanxin, and Wang Hanxin actually raised his eyes again at this time, although his eyes fell again as soon as he met the queen, but he did not escape Liu Yan's gaze.

"The three of you love the right and step aside." The queen whispered, then closed her eyes.

After the three of them retreated, Liu Yan took advantage of the queen's sleep to leave the Moon Palace, and then sent someone to find Wu Sicheng.

As soon as he saw Wu Sicheng, Liu Yan told him exactly what happened today. After listening carefully, Wu Sicheng said, "Is Your Majesty worried about Wang Hanxin's back?" ”

"Exactly. That Yan Ming was originally a nominal and powerless person, Zou Feng was originally from Qiu Yiru's party, even if he agreed to the queen, it would be difficult for him to really be at the mercy of the queen, but Wang Hanxin was the general who led the troops outside, and the queen's move was to win over Wang Hanxin. She deliberately entrusted the prince to him, which was to let him assist the prince wholeheartedly. If the emperor's consequences are unexpected, then the Hou Party will naturally fall to the prince's side, especially Pingguo Gonghua Tianyu, even if he retreats behind the scenes, he will become the actual controller of the prince's faction. In this way, instead of realizing my intention to foster confrontation between the prince's party, the latter party naturally controlled the prince. If Concubine Li's younger brother Mi Yiguo and Wang Hanxin, the two generals in charge of the army, join, the power of the prince's party will inevitably overshadow Qiu Yiru's Confucian party, and the balance above the court will be broken! ”

Wu Sicheng nodded and said, "Your Majesty is worried. As the saying goes, people are not as good as heaven, and our original strategy to check and balance the Hou Party and the Confucian Party has now become a constraint, which is also something that Weichen never expected. However, since His Majesty has promised the queen, he can't go back, and he can only think of ways to remedy it for now. ”

"It's just that this plan will be settled?"

Wu Sicheng paced in the room and said: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to start from scratch and create a new faction to come out." ”

"How easy is that? Moreover, how can the emerging forces fight against the entrenched post-party? ”

Wu Sicheng said: "This person who starts from scratch naturally can't be without a foundation. According to Weichen's view, His Majesty can only support the clan faction to compete with it. ”

"Clan power? But there are sparse people in the clan, and besides, they are all people who are not in power, how can they become a climate? ”

Wu Sicheng said: "Your Majesty, do you remember Liu Tanzhi, the brother of Liu Xianzhi, the king of Zhongyi County?" ”

Liu Yan nodded and said, "How could I forget this person." It's just that first, he is the offender Liu Qian, and secondly, he has never asked about political affairs, so can't he let him lead the army? ”

"Exactly. Although Liu Tanzhi is not a person who can carry heavy burdens, he is the best candidate at this time. First, he and His Majesty are cousins and his status is high enough, second, he has the younger brother of the King of Zhongyi County to lead the army abroad as a backer, and third, even if he grows up in the future, he will not pose a real threat to His Majesty, and his role is only to check and balance the other two factions. ”

Liu Yan shook his head and said: "Liu Tanzhi deeply hates his brother Liu Xianzhi for betraying his father Liu Qian, and the two brothers are only afraid that it will be difficult to resolve their hatred, and with his ability, it is difficult to become a threat to the other two factions." ”

Wu Sicheng nodded and said: "What Your Majesty said is not bad, but Weichen still has a way to weaken the Hou Party, if it can contain the development of the Hou Party, then the Confucian Party will naturally be inclined to cooperate with Liu Tanzhi in order to defeat the Hou Party." ”
