Chapter V: Discussion of countermeasures
Gonggong Liu grew up watching Sima Shu grow up, and he was the only personal person left by Emperor Wu Sima Yan to Sima Shu, and Gonggong Liu did not live up to the trust of the first emperor, and has been taking care of Sima Shu conscientiously for so many years.
Especially after the death of Sima Yan last year, the big and small leaders in the East Palace have been bought by the queen, and only Gonggong Liu has always maintained his loyalty to the prince.
But it is impossible for Gonggong Liu to do anything alone in the entire East Palace, he must leave the cage of the East Palace, and only by staying away from Jia Nanfeng can he slowly cultivate his own power. Otherwise, under Jia Nanfeng's nose, his every move is under the monitoring of the other party, and the slightest disturbance will be known by the other party.
But how can you leave the East Palace? If there is no reasonable reason, don't say that Jia Nanfeng will not agree, that is, the civil and military officials will not be able to pass the level! Sima Shu thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of a good solution, he had been thinking about it since he dealt with the assassin yesterday.
"Come on, go and invite Mr. Liu!"
It didn't take long for Manager Liu to walk into the small study, and it was said that the only place Sima Shu could master was this small study. After seeing Gonggong Liu, Sima Shu quickly stood up and got up to greet him, and he still maintained considerable respect for the chief steward who had been protecting him.
"Your Highness, this is unacceptable!"
Gonggong Liu hurriedly stopped Sima Shu, since a serious illness. Gonggong Liu felt that Sima Shu had changed a lot, becoming quieter and more cautious than before, no longer messing around as before, and closer to himself.
"Father-in-law, please take a seat, I came to you today to let my father-in-law show me a way out. Woohoo, woohoo! Before, I was lonely and ignorant, and I was repeatedly provoked by villains and alienated from my father-in-law, which was really undeserved. Since the lonely illness, it seems that I have grown up all of a sudden, and the things I didn't understand before are now more or less clear. ”
"Now that the queen regards Lone as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, she wants to get rid of it quickly, why was the assassin before able to quietly approach the dormitory of the main palace? When such a big thing happened as the prince being stabbed, the court did not make a little wave, and only one imperial doctor was sent to come, and I am afraid that few people in the entire court and central ministers know what happened. ”
"Why is this happening? It's not because the Jia family controls the power of the court, the entire East Palace is under her control, and Lone can't pass on information even if she wants to, woo, if it goes on like this, the life of the surname of this palace is worrying! Saying that, Sima Shu wiped the ginger juice prepared in advance on his eyes, and tears fell in an instant.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, be cautious, be cautious!"
Gonggong Liu stepped forward and covered Sima Shu's mouth, his face was full of horror, it seemed that he was frightened by Sima Shu. At the same time, he also began to doubt in his heart, not that he doubted Sima Shu's identity, but that Sima Shu in front of him seemed to have become smarter.
"Father-in-law, right now, the whole Donggong Lonely only trusts you alone, maybe you are wondering how Gu has suddenly become shrewd" Sima Shu is not an uninformed original, he has experienced life and death, just seeing the suspicion in Father-in-law Liu's eyes, he knows what the other party is suspecting, and he has been prepared for this.
"Say it, maybe you won't believe it." Sima Shu smiled bitterly, and deliberately lowered his voice: "A month ago, Gu was not in a coma by a thunderstorm, in fact, this palace has been wandering the world, and I was fortunate to see my grandfather. ”
"What!? You, you, Your Highness said that you met the first emperor? Liu Gonggong's face was full of incredulity.
"Well, Lone knows that this matter is a bit unbelievable, but Lone did see his grandfather, he scolded the palace for being unfilial, not knowing how to work hard, and letting the Sima family's country fall into the hands of a woman, which disappointed him too much!"
At this time, Sima Shu had no choice but to make it up, but fortunately, the ancients were more superstitious and more fearful of ghosts and gods.
"What you said really looks like the first emperor, but why did the first emperor see you in this way, why didn't he dream?"
"This, the palace is not very clear, at that time, my grandfather scolded when he saw Lone, and warned that if Lone did not work hard, he would be killed in five years. Not only that, my grandfather also said that if future generations are not careful, the entire Da** Mountain will not be protected in ten years. ”
"This, this, how is this good?" Gonggong Liu had been completely fooled by Sima Shu at this time, but he didn't know that inadvertently, his attention was all diverted by Lin Feng to the few warnings that Martial Emperor Sima Yan had said.
Looking at Gonggong Liu, who was frightened, Sima Shu couldn't bear it, but for the sake of the future, he had to be ruthless and continue to fool the other party.
"Father-in-law, the safety of a lone person is a small matter, but the Sima family can't help but care. What is the current situation of the father, the father-in-law should be clearer than the pump. If what the grandfather said was true, then it seemed impossible to expect his father to turn the tide, and Lone was the only child of his father. As a member of Sima's family, this palace has the responsibility to save Jiangshan Sheji and the people of Limin. ”
"But, but, what is Your Highness going to do?" Gonggong Liu was obviously persuaded by Sima Shu, but one of his chamberlains didn't seem to be of much help.
"This palace thinks so, the first step is to leave the East Palace, only by leaving the control of Empress Jia, can Gu slowly develop his own power, and with the strength When the crisis comes, we can stabilize our position and not be in a hurry." Sima Shu slowly revealed his true purpose.
"Leaving the East Palace? If there is no good excuse, not only will the queen not allow Her Highness to leave, but even the civil and military officials will stop Her Highness. Father-in-law Liu felt that the prince's idea was a little whimsical.
"You know what you said, but this palace must leave here, you help this palace think about which minister in the court can give support."
This is where Sima Shu is most annoyed at present, because some time ago he sold meat and wine, coupled with Empress Jia's secret rumors, the crown prince became infamous, and many ministers were disappointed and did not bother to associate with him at all.
Coupled with Empress Jia's suppression, Sima Shu became a real loner, and it was not until Sima Yu borrowed the corpse to resurrect his soul that he knew how bad things were. So far, there is no one in the court who can say a word for him, otherwise he would not have consulted with Gonggong Liu.
"Minister of the DPRK?"
Listening to Sima Shu's words, Gonggong Liu fell into deep thought, since the prince was stubborn, ** had long been torn apart and disintegrated. At present, in addition to the Hou Party, there are some other princes and kings in the court, and it is really not easy to find a real **. However, he finally did not disappoint Sima Shu, and after thinking about it for a long time, Gonggong Liu finally became excited.
"Yes, I thought of it, there is one person who can help His Highness succeed, this person is Mrs. Zhang, the slave has been thinking about it for a long time, and now only Mrs. Zhang can help His Highness!"
"Mrs. Zhang?" Sima Shu is not used to the names of the ancients for the time being, they always call each other's official positions or expressions, so that Sima Shu, a half-man, can not think of who it is at the first time.
"Yes, it is Zhang Hua and Zhang Maoxian, who is the arm of the first emperor, this person is from a poor background, quite talented, and is the right-hand man of the first emperor." Liu Gonggong explained.
It turned out to be him, for Zhang Hua, Sima Shu had learned in the history books that this person could be a cloth official to the Sikong in the Jin Dynasty, where gate valve politics was prevalent, and he was named the prince of the county, and he had his own outstanding place.
And he is also one of the few honest and talented officials in the court, after the death of Emperor Wu Sima Yan, the reason why the Jin Dynasty still maintained a stable situation when a fool was the emperor and Empress Jia was in power, was that Zhang Hua was in control of the court.
At the beginning of Emperor Hui's accession to the throne, Zhang Hua was the crown prince and young master, but he was jealous of Yang Jun because of his virtue and prestige, and he was not allowed to participate in court politics.
After Yang Jun was killed, Empress Jia would depose the Empress Dowager Yang, and the ministers would gather in the court, and the speakers all obeyed the queen's will, thinking that "the Spring and Autumn Period depreciated Wen Jiang, and the Empress Dowager should also be deposed from the temple." ”
Only Zhang Hua spoke uprightly, thinking that "the way of husband and wife does not involve the relationship between father and son, and the queen mother did not offend the first emperor." Now Yang Jun is his parent, it can only be said that he can't be the mother of the world, and he should follow the example of the Han Dynasty abolishing the Empress Dowager Zhao as the queen of filial piety, degrading the title of the queen mother, and still calling Queen Wu and living in another palace to fulfill the grace of lifelong care."
Sima Wei, the king of Chu, was secretly edicted to kill Dazai, Sima Liang, the king of Runan, and Taibaoyu, etc., and the internal and external soldiers were in turmoil, and the courtiers were afraid and at a loss.
Zhang Hua told Emperor Hui: "Sima Wei killed the second duke without authorization with a fake edict, and the soldiers acted in a hurry, thinking that it was the will of the state, so they obeyed Sima Wei." Now, Your Majesty can send a special envoy to lift martial law with a banner to the foreign army, and the incident will be calmed down. ”
Emperor Hui adopted Zhang Hua's opinion, and Sima Wei's soldiers really failed. and Sima Wei was killed, Zhang Hua was the first to make meritorious contributions, worshiped as the right Guanglu doctor, opened the palace with the three divisions, the servant, the middle secretary, and the gold seal purple ribbon. Zhang Hua resigned from Kaifu Yi and the Third Division.
Later, Jia Mi and Empress Jia discussed together, thinking that Zhang Hua was born in the Shu clan, elegant and strategic, and had no doubts about coercing the monarch, and was expected by the public, and planned to rely on him as the chief regent, and consulted him on major matters.
Since then, Zhang Hua has been reused, loyal to state affairs, assisting the government, and making up for the shortcomings, although when Emperor Hui weakened the dynasty that raged after Jia, and the world was stable, this is all Zhang Hua's credit.
As the saying goes, a wise man must make a mistake when he thinks a thousand times, and Zhang Hua later misjudged the situation when the princes and kings rebelled, resulting in his death. At that time, Empress Jia tried to depose the crown prince, and Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, wanted to unite with Zhang Hua to abolish Empress Jia in one fell swoop, but Zhang Hua refused. It turned out that Zhang Hua wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman, he concealed the conspiracy of King Zhao, and wanted to get rid of Empress Jia by Sima Lun's hand.
It's a pity that Sima Lun was a wolf with ambition, and the first thing he did after taking power was to send someone to kill Zhang Hua and raze his three clans. Thinking of this, Sima Shu understood a little, and only Zhang Hua was more suitable at the moment.
This person is more valued by Empress Jia, and Empress Jia may be able to listen to what he says, and if he comes forward, the probability of Sima Shu's plan succeeding is greater.
Besides, Zhang Hua was still a supporter of the prince in history, and when Sima Shu was deposed, he was the only one who spoke up, but Jia Hou was powerful, and the prince was finally deposed. Having made up his mind, Sima Shu planned to find an opportunity to meet this famous minister of the Western Jin Dynasty.
