Chapter 557
After all, Liu Kuan is also an important figure who was overlooked in the Yellow Turban Uprising, and Liu Xin is very curious about why Liu Kuan received the reward for exposing the Yellow Turban Uprising. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
So, just when Liu Xin was bored thinking about life, Bi Lan came over.
Bi Lan looked at the guards and eunuchs around him, and after making sure that there was no eye of the wall and ears of the wall, he said to Liu Xin respectfully: "I have seen the prince below." ”
Liu Xin nodded and asked with a smile, "Bi Changshi, why are you here?" ”
Bi Lan smiled, and then said: "I got some very interesting information in the past few days, I originally wanted to find a chance to go out of the palace to see the prince, but for various reasons, I have never had the opportunity to leave the palace to meet the prince, so I just heard someone say that the prince, you are sitting on a small sun falling from the sky, and when you see Your Majesty, you will find out the location of the prince, so I rushed over to see the prince." ”
Liu Xin nodded and said, "I see, then Bi Changshi, you have something to say, there should be no outsiders here." ”
Bi Lan nodded when he heard this, and said: "Well, first of all, there is a rumor about Your Majesty, to be exact, some gossip circulating in the palace, which says that the dragon son born by Wang Meiren today will replace Your Majesty in the future, and Your Majesty will also drive west in advance because of the birth of this dragon son!" ”
Liu Xin raised his eyebrows, this rumor is a bit interesting, he actually said that one is not far from ten, after all, Liu Xie did inherit the position of Emperor Ling of Han, and Emperor Shaodi of Han was just an unlucky guy who was used excessively.
But obviously, unless there is another traverser in this palace, it should be the gossip that someone has circulated here in order to be alarmist and to discredit Liu Xie.
Liu Xin thought so, the first target of suspicion was Empress He, after all, Liu Xie's birth put more pressure on Empress He's son Liu Bian, after all, as far as the current situation is concerned, there are only two heirs of Emperor Han Ling, that is, Liu Xie and Liu Bian.
And Liu Wei was sent outside the palace to raise him for well-known reasons, and the relationship with Emperor Han Ling is like that, and this Liu Xie, Emperor Han Ling is very likely not to send Liu Xie outside the palace, and will definitely stay in the palace to raise him, and the relationship between Emperor Han Ling and Liu Xie will definitely be better than the relationship with Liu Bian.
Therefore, if Queen He passed on such rumors, Liu Xin would not be surprised at all.
However, there is another question, why is it mentioned in the rumors that Emperor Han Ling only has a few years to live?
First of all, Liu Xin, as a doctor, when he saw Emperor Han Ling today, he also had an occupational disease, and made some observations on Emperor Han Ling, and found that although Emperor Han Ling was a little weak and had a poor complexion, on the whole, it can only be said that Emperor Han Ling was hollowed out by wine, and if he can cultivate himself for a period of time, he should be able to return to the level of a normal person, so simply put, Emperor Han Ling's body is not bad, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Of course, it is possible that Heavenly Dao gave Emperor Han Ling some kind of psychological hint, so that Emperor Han Ling knew that his limit was approaching, so he felt that his life was short.
Therefore, Liu Xin believes that as far as the imperial doctors in the palace are concerned, it should not be possible to see that Emperor Han Ling is going to drive to the west, so such rumors make Liu Xin a little puzzled, which is obviously an unusual thing, because even if it is Queen He, she does not dare to spread such rumors, after all, this is also a curse for Emperor Han Ling's death, if it is found out by Emperor Han Ling, then even if it is Queen He, she may be executed for this, so Liu Xin feels that this rumor is very likely not to be from Queen He, but...
Liu Xin raised his eyebrows and said to Bi Lan: "Bi Changshi, this king wants to ask you a question, does Your Majesty know about this gossip, and if so, then what is Your Majesty's attitude." ”
Bi Lan thought about it, and after thinking for a while, he said with some uncertainty: "Lord Wang, in fact, this matter is not very clear in Xiaxia, because I also heard about this matter from other eunuchs, and the eunuch was on standby by His Majesty's side at that time, so I saw Zhang Changshou tell His Majesty about this rumor, but His Majesty was not very angry about this, but let Zhang Changshou retreat as if nothing happened, and then did not do too much investigation of this matter. ”
After hearing Bi Lan's words, Liu Xin felt that his guess was right, this rumor was indeed spread by Emperor Han Ling himself!
The reason is actually very simple, Emperor Han Ling's approach is undoubtedly to build momentum for Liu Xie, after all, this is just like those so-called prophets, first someone makes some predictions, and then when these predictions come true, then it will make people more convinced of other predictions made by this person later.
Now Emperor Han Ling is making such a prophet, first of all, in this prophecy made by Emperor Han Ling, there are two key points, the first focus is actually that Emperor Han Ling will drive the crane west in advance in the past few years, and then the second focus, Liu Association will replace Emperor Han Ling.
Because the current Emperor Han Ling is in the eyes of those imperial doctors, although some of his health is not good, but in general it is not bad, so it is no problem for Emperor Han Ling to live for more than ten or twenty years, so if Emperor Han Ling suddenly drives west in advance next year, then half of this rumor will come true, then this will make people believe, and the other half of the prophecy will definitely come true!
Therefore, when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is seriously ill, he may mention such a prophecy, and then say that he must conform to the will of heaven and let Liu Xie inherit his position at the same time as he dies - the throne of the Han Dynasty.
The reason why Emperor Han Ling did this, in Liu Xin's opinion, is undoubtedly to protect Wang Meiren, after all, just like Emperor Han Ling said to Liu Xin in the hot air balloon before, Emperor Han Ling's love for Wang Meiren is especially better than Queen He, after all, from all aspects, Wang Meiren is better than Queen He.
And Empress He's character has not been good, plus He Jin, who has a nouveau riche face, still offended many people in the officialdom, so it led to such a problem, if Emperor Han Ling wanted to change Wang Meiren as the queen, then nine times out of ten it would be able to succeed very easily, because whether it was in the harem or in the officialdom, not many people would stand up and prevent Emperor Han Ling from abolishing Empress He and let Wang Meiren sit in the position of queen instead!
Therefore, Queen He must also know this, so Queen He will choose to poison Wang Meiren at all kinds of risks in history, because Queen He knows very well that if the longer it drags on, the higher the possibility that Wang Meiren will replace herself!
And the current Emperor Han Ling also knows a little bit and knows that Empress He may attack Wang Meiren, but now he knows that the limit is approaching, and there is not much time to protect Wang Meiren, so unless Emperor Han Ling replaces Queen He with Wang Meiren at the same time and makes Liu Xie the crown prince, then it is possible for Wang Meiren's mother and son to live.
And if you only do one of them, then the result can be imagined, Wang Meiren and Liu Xie will definitely be killed by Queen He!
The reason is very simple, if Empress He is abolished from the position of the queen, but according to the primogeniture inheritance system, Empress He's son Liu Wei will still become the new emperor of the Han Dynasty after the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, then Liu Bian will definitely return his mother Empress He to her original position, and even listen to the government, after all, Liu Bian is still young now, and Queen He will definitely try to kill Wang Meiren at that time.
And if it is only to make Liu Xie the crown prince and let Queen He remain as stable as Mount Tai, it will also be a very troublesome thing, after all, although Queen He does not know a few big characters, but the small abacus is loud, and when the time comes, Liu Xie and Wang Meiren will definitely be calculated, and then let Liu Wei become the emperor.
Therefore, Emperor Ling of Han must let Wang Meiren's mother and son replace Queen He's mother and son at the same time, so that the problem can be considered a successful solution.
But!
There is not much time left for Emperor Han Ling, in just over a year, as long as Empress He does not die by herself, it is impossible to complete this matter, because although Empress He is arrogant and domineering, with a small belly, but Queen He is very smart, that is, in the face of some major things of right and wrong, Empress He's handling is still very good, so Emperor Han Ling can't find a reason to abolish Empress He for a while.
As for Liu Bian's side, Emperor Han Ling has been dragging on not canonizing Liu Biao as the crown prince, but in the absence of a special reason, Emperor Han Ling has no way to abolish Chang Liyoung, directly skip Liu Bian, and divide Liu Xie as the crown prince, especially when Empress He is still there!
Therefore, Emperor Ling of Han is now in danger, and wants to achieve his goal through some special means, that is, under the pretense of the Mandate of Heaven!
After all, the ancients believed in "resignation to fate", those who rebelled as kings in all dynasties and dynasties would choose to make some visions first, either what fox called, what fish hidden books and other things, so that you can use the reason that the mandate of heaven cannot be violated, to rebel, so Emperor Han Ling also thought of such a trick, before his death, he could pass the throne to Liu Xie, and by the way, he could also use it to take care of the young Liu Xie as a reason, so that Wang Meiren became the queen.
Moreover, one thing Liu Xin can be sure of is that he has also been calculated by Emperor Han Ling!
That's right, the reason why Emperor Han Ling dares to play this kind of operation now is definitely not that Liang Xru gave Emperor Han Ling such courage, but that Liu Xin, the "immortal master", made Emperor Han Ling see the possibility of success in doing so!
Because of Liu Xin's identity as an "immortal master", he can stand up to help Emperor Han Ling stand on the field and open his mouth to prove the authenticity of this rumor, and with Liu Xin's support, this rumor will become more unbreakable, and it will be easier for Emperor Han Ling to succeed in these riotous operations before his death.
Therefore, Liu Xin finally understood why Emperor Han Ling was just on the hot air balloon, why he talked to himself so much, it turned out that he was calculating himself here, Liu Xin can be sure now, when Emperor Han Ling comes to find him, he will definitely mention this matter!
Liu Xin feels a stomachache when he thinks about it now, but he didn't expect that he still responded to the old saying, that is, he often walks by the river, how can he not get his shoes wet, it has always been Liu Xin who was calculating these ancient Han people, but he didn't expect that he was calculated by these ancient people now, and it was calculated by Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, Liu Xin is not so depressed now, but now Liu Xin is calculated by Emperor Han Ling, who has always looked down on him, which makes Liu Xin not depressed.
What's more, now Emperor Han Ling has also given himself a lot of benefits, and on the hot air balloon just now, Liu Xin can be regarded as giving Emperor Han Ling a promise, which makes it difficult for Liu Xin to regret it now.
Therefore, Liu Xin sighed helplessly, and could only say that he was still too young, too young, too simple, and went on stage to get clothes.
After Liu Xin finished thinking about this matter, he said to Bi Lan a little depressed, "Bi Changshi, so apart from this rumor, do you have anything else you want to tell this king?" ”
Bi Lan nodded hurriedly and said, "Also, Lord Wang, you should know by now, the reason why you are waiting for Your Majesty here is because Your Majesty is receiving Lord Liu Kuan and Liu." ”
Liu Xin nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case, Bi Lan smiled and continued: "Actually, the reason why Lord Liu Kuan came to find Your Majesty is also the trouble caused by Zhao Zhong's younger brother Zhao Yan, of course, Zhao Yan must have Zhao Zhong's shadow behind him. ”
Liu Xin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh, then this king is willing to hear the details, how did this Zhao Zhong offend Liu Kuan?" ”
Bi Lan smiled and continued: "Things are like this, Zhao Zhong didn't dare to provoke a Han clan like Lord Liu Kuan, but Zhao Zhong let his younger brother Zhao Yan dig up Lord Liu Kuan's wall, but after the failure, Zhao Zhong's unsuccessful brother threatened the dug corner in the name of Zhao Zhong, so Lord Liu Kuan came to the palace today, for his subordinates, when he came here, he saw Zhao Zhong and he went to His Majesty with an anxious and helpless face, I'm afraid that he was called by His Majesty to explain his mistake, and this time, Zhao Zhong is afraid that he will suffer a big loss. ”
When Bi Lan said this, he couldn't help but smile a little gloatingly, and Liu Xin naturally smiled, after all, his enemy Zhao Zhong was unlucky, so he had to be happy no matter what he said.
Liu Xin took a sip of tea, and then said with a smile: "I see, no wonder Zhao Zhong came to stay here for a while just now, and then left in a hurry." ”
