The swept of a piece of news made Chang'an, which had a somewhat mysterious atmosphere, in an uproar again.

Liu Xie, the titular monarch of a country, committed suicide by hanging himself from a beam in the bedroom, and the queen also took poison and died.

It was the height of summer, but many people in Chang'an suddenly felt a chill of deboning.

Although Liu Xie is a puppet, he is the emperor after all.

Occupying the great righteousness, countless pairs of eyes in the world are staring at him, staring at Yuan Shang.

And now, when Yuan Shang purged Chang'an, this couple who occupied the righteousness of the world both died in the palace, and the warriors and eunuchs assigned by Yuan Shang were unknown.

It's unbelievable.

Yuan Shang actually stretched out his fangs to kill the emperor.

This possibility breeds in the hearts of countless people, Yuan Shang has a bitter word, Tian Feng is frustrated and Lu Su and others are very rational that the death of the emperor and empress has nothing to do with Yuan Shang, but the group of people who are loyal to the Han family do not believe it.

"What should come is always coming."

Yuan Shang's expression was indeed a little gloomy, this matter, just under his nose out of control, for him, it was tantamount to an insult, and the most important thing is that after this incident, those courtiers who were loyal to the Han family and had to be officials in the court would be separated from him, and once a dispute broke out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Wang Chang's old guy tried to break into the palace, but the soldiers outside the city didn't allow it, and he died outside the palace."

This is a sudden change of news, the death of Wang Chang is nothing, after all, this person is just an old minister who is over eighty years old, but. What really worries Tian Feng about the trial, Gu Yong and others is everything that will be involved behind Wang Chang's death.

"Now there are still many courtiers in the court who are loyal to the Han family."

Fu Zhu shook his head and said, "I'm just afraid that Chen Gongtai, who is in Liangzhou, will hear the news here." Be uncertain, too. ”

At the beginning, Chen Gong was under the command of Yuan Shang. In order to do his best to save Liu Xie's life, after so many years, Yuan Shang has never been like Dong Zhuo, he has been very harsh to Liu Xie, in addition to not letting him touch the government, the rest of the treatment is quite preferential, and Yuan Shang treats Liu Xie well. Chen Gong is also in the bottom of his eyes, so in the past few years, he has been running around to serve Yuan Shang is also very diligent, and now Chen Gong is in Liangzhou, assisting Ma Teng and Han Sui to fight, if the news of Liu Xie's death reaches Liangzhou, how should Chen Gong think, it is still an unstable unknown, and Chen Gong and Chen Gong are also a little friendly, and they have been moving around in Chang'an from time to time in the past. That's why he's so worried.

Xu You, who was on the side, took over the conversation with a cold face: "This matter is really annoying, and what should be prevented is prevention." ”

Tian Feng's trial with Gu Yong, Lu Su and others also had a solemn expression. In any case, the emperor and the empress both died in the dormitory, even if outsiders understood that it was not Yuan Shang's shot, they would also count the account on Yuan Shang's head, after all, Liu Xie and his wife died on his territory, this is an indisputable fact, people are dead, and those subjects loyal to the Han family can't see the process clearly, but they see such a result, so this black cauldron still has to be carried by Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang chose to follow the old path that Cao Cao had walked and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, which was a double-edged sword in terms of the essence of this matter, and now it finally has a backlash.

"Did you find out who was in charge of patrolling the dormitory last night?" Yuan Shang's eyes were gloomy and he said coldly.

"Found out"

Ma Dai was obviously prepared, and said loudly: "The one in charge of patrolling the Qingliang Hall last night was the general of the North First Battalion, and the subordinates carefully checked it, and the problem did not lie with them, but the eunuch who served in the bed was missing, and the subordinates have already informed the Intelligence Department and the Arrest Department, and if you think about it, there will be a reply immediately." ”

"Eunuch"

Yuan Shang frowned and said, "What about the Li Song people? Why didn't he personally serve the Qingliang Temple tonight? ”

Li Song in Yuan Shang's mouth is one of the ten permanent servants, the original ten permanent servants were killed and escaped, and only Li Song had already been bought by Yuan Shang, becoming his eyeliner, and finally under the protection of the intelligence department, he was able to escape the fate of being killed, and then Yuan Shang captured Chang'an and controlled the little emperor Liu Xie in his hands, Li Song naturally became the new head of the eunuchs in the palace, and his duties were not only to serve the daily life of the little emperor, but also an inseparable eyeliner, it stands to reason that Li Song will not leave the little emperor, This is also Yuan Shang's request for him, but now Li Song is still missing, Yuan Shang has a hunch that this person is estimated to have a problem.

Sure enough, I heard Ma Dai say: "Li Song's body was found in the rockery, and according to the state of the corpse, the time of death should be more than a day." ”

"Boom~"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, Yuan Shang's brows were furrowed, and his palm slammed into the table in front of him, and the table made of high-quality wood was instantly torn apart.

Sawdust flew, and Yuan Shang's eyes were full of anger.

"Are the four battalions all decorations? There was an uninvited guest in the palace and you didn't even notice it? A bunch of rubbish, what do you want them to do..."

Everyone looked at the angry Yuan Shang, and subconsciously shrank his neck, most of the people present were old people who had followed Yuan Shang for many years, how could he have seen Yuan Shang so angry, that casually slapped the table, split apart and sawdust flew all over the sky, everyone knew that Yuan Shang was already angry to the extreme.

"The guards of the four battalions, the officers above the rank of captain, all have their ranks demoted by one level, and they will be fined for three months, and all the generals and colonels on duty last night will be transferred out of the yamen of the fourth battalion and thrown to Jizhou to make meritorious contributions." Yuan Shang said coldly.

"Whoa." Ma Dai hung his head and hugged his fist.

"Let Ziyang track it down immediately, and within two days, Ben will receive the exact news."

"Whoa." Ma Dai didn't dare to say a word, he was just a messenger, how to get a headache, it was still Ziyang, Yuan Shang was in a state of anger, and no one dared to touch his brows.

After Ma Dai turned around and left, Ju Yi, who hid his hands in his sleeves and never spoke, said in a deep voice: "The matter has happened, and we can't pull Liu Xie back to the Yama Palace, since the emperor is dead, it is better to call the emperor directly, right?" ”

Ju Yi is a soldier, speaking has always been straightforward, Liu Xie was still alive at the beginning, it is indeed not suitable to be the king and hegemon, and now, Liu Xie is dead, although I don't know who is leading all this, but, as a soldier, a lifelong pursuit, in addition to the fierce military exploits, from the dazzling light of the dragon to Ju Yi's allure is also not small, Yuan Shang called the emperor, in the tiger and wolf army, has long been a tacit fact, Ju Yi as a strong representative of the military under Yuan Shang, his opinion, can often represent the 200,000 tough guys.

"No"

As soon as Ju Yi's words came out, some people couldn't sit still: "This matter must not be, if the lord takes advantage of Liu Xie's corpse and bones to wear a dragon robe and call the emperor, this black cauldron will be decided in the future, what does the scholar think of the lord, and how should the people of the world view the lord?" ”

Everyone looked down, and the first to stand up against it was Xun Chen, who was called a living clay sculpture, this taciturn scribe, who has always cherished words like gold, and it is rare to see him so urgent.

"What you said is very true, but the lord is not suitable to be the emperor at the moment." Tian Feng also opened his mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth to oppose it, it basically represented the opposition of the strategists to Yuan Shang's current title of emperor.

The civil and military opinions disagreed, and Yuan Shang, as the lord, also had his own decision in his heart.

"It's really not suitable to be the emperor at this time."

Yuan Shang also made it very clear that he was basically his henchmen present, although he had been following for a long time or a short time, but now, his mind can be seen by anyone, since it is, Yuan Shang is no longer hypocritically hidden.

"We must first minimize the turmoil caused by Liu Xie's death, and then talk about other things."

This is Yuan Shang's opinion, he doesn't want to be scolded by the so-called Han subjects poking his backbone, although, in the end, this is the result of not being able to escape, but there are some things that still have to be done after all.

This is the labor pain that every dynasty will face when it changes, and Yuan Shang's behavior only minimizes this voice of resistance.

Yuan Shang's eyes flickered, and the anger in his heart was also much lighter, but he heard him say in a heavy tone: "This matter, whether it is a blessing or a curse, may not be said for the time being, but there is one point, there are also a lot of problems within us, and it is better to break out now than to shake the foundation in the future, since Liu Xie is dead, it is better to set up another emperor." ”

"The lord is wise." Tian Fengxun, Chen Fu and other strategists all gave up.

Yuan Shang waved his hand, looked at a few strategists, and said indifferently: "You are responsible for this matter, choose a suitable one, it is not easy to find anything else, there are a lot of people who want to be emperors, compared to the adult Liu Xie, an infant emperor is easier to control, what do you think?" ”

Everyone in the hall laughed, but they secretly admired in their hearts, no matter what, another emperor, although it could not eliminate the negative impact of Liu Xie's suicide in the bedroom, but with the release of the new emperor, no matter how big the impact was, it would eventually disappear with the passage of time, and as Yuan Shang said, an ignorant emperor is indeed much easier to control than an adult emperor who has his own thinking ability.

When everyone in the hall left, the corners of Yuan Shang's mouth flashed with a hint of coldness, looking at the gradually dark sky, his eyes were as sharp as a sword.

"I'd like to know who's behind it."

No one knows Yuan Shang's sneer, but at this moment, Chang'an is once again in turmoil, and Yuan Shang's every thought is enough to make Chang'an fall into a bloody storm again (to be continued......
