Volume III Chapter 10
(There are flowers to give, there are votes to vote, and there are numbers to receive!) )
The three of them sat down, and Ju Wenzhen didn't want servants to serve, so he picked up the teapot and made tea for the two. Yang Zhilian picked up the teacup, took a deep sniff, praised "good", and asked: "Old Liu, although this plan is good, how to deal with this faint gentleman after he is ill?" ”
Ju Wenzhen looked at Liu Bi, Liu Bi smiled and did not answer, Ju Wenzhen knew that Liu Bi was giving himself a chance to perform, seeing Liu Bi being so respectful to himself, and seeing Yang Zhilian's expectation, he couldn't help but feel proud: "After the faint monarch fell ill, his life is naturally over, if it is the same as before, it will be easy to do, I will simply support the prince to succeed to the throne and send the sick man to Xingqing Palace for retirement." Let's make a meritorious contribution to his support, and take the opportunity to cut off Liu Guangqi and Sun Rongyi, and control the Right God Ce Army in our hands. After making this achievement, my generation is indispensable to add officials to the knighthood, and there is a Shence army in hand, so that the power of the court is in our hands, and there is Liu Zhijun echoing in Sanchuan outside. ”
At this moment, Liu Bi is just a deputy envoy of the branch, and Ju Wenzhen has already been commensurate with the king, and Liu Bi is full of joy when he hears it, although he doesn't even dare to say it, his mouth can't be closed.
Yang Zhilian was also happy, but suddenly remembered a question: "It's just that there is no prince yet?" ”
Ju Wenzhen glanced at Yang Zhilian dissatisfied, and said, "It is precisely because of the lack of establishment that we have a chance to take advantage of it." I discussed with Liu Yuanjun, and when Liu Yuanjun returned to Sichuan, he said that he would mobilize Wei Taiwei to unite all towns, write a letter to ask for the establishment of the crown prince, and kill Wang Shuwen, Liu Guangqi and other traitors. The two of us will then contact the ministers of the DPRK and China to respond in the middle, and the matter will be harmonious. In this way, after the crown prince succeeds to the throne, he will be grateful to us, and he will help him ascend the throne in the future, and we will naturally make the first contribution. ”
Yang Zhilian asked again: "Then which prince do we want to support?" It would be nice if King Shu could be established, the relationship between King Shu and us is not ordinary. ”
Shu Wang Li Yi is the son of Dezong's younger brother, when Jingyuan was in turmoil, Dezong ran away in a hurry, did not have time to bring the clan, and was killed by the rebels seventy-seven clans, Dezong always blamed himself for this, so the clan was particularly preferential after the chaos. This King Shu was raised by Dezong since childhood, Dezong was especially fond of it, and once moved the idea of abolishing Li Yu to establish King Shu as the crown prince, but fortunately Dezong hesitated, and consulted Li Mi, the immortal prime minister who entered the palace, and was persuaded by Li Mi, who was frightened, on the grounds of being intimate. The long-term career as a prince and Dezong's distrust have always been considered to be the root cause of Shunzong's depression and eventually suffered a stroke. Since Li Yi is expected to replace Li Yi, he naturally works hard. He is not like Li Yu to the eunuchs without pretense, but to welcome him, so after the death of Dezong, Ju Wenzhen, Liu Guangqi, Xue Yingzhen and others were the first to want to stand, and they were also King Shu, but they didn't expect the world to be unpredictable, only more than 100 days, Xue Yingzhen had died in the hands of Ju Wenzhen, and Liu Guangqi was also in the same situation with them. So now Yang Zhilian thinks of King Shu.
Ju Wenzhen Dao held the iron ball in his hand again: "Why don't you want to support King Shu?" When the first emperor died, I wanted to support King Shu, but I leaked the news, and I actually let this faint monarch know and stood up from the bed. Wei Cigong, Ling Huai, and Wang Ling made trouble again, so that this sick billet ascended the throne. As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and turned his head to Liu Pi and said, "I forgot, it must be Li Zhongyan who leaked the news, and Liu Yuanjun should not forget to ask Captain Wei to add the killing of Li Zhongyan when he went to the book, as well as the two dog mongrels of Gou Sheng!" ”
Gou Sheng actually has nothing to do with this matter, but these eunuchs are all people with dark psychology and narrow measurements, and they never find their own reasons when they encounter problems, but only anger others. Ju Wenzhen is jealous of Gou Sheng's favor, so he wants to get rid of him quickly.
Liu Bi hurriedly said: "This is natural. ”
Ju Wen Zhenfu said again: "It's just that King Shu is the cousin of this faint monarch, and even the emperor's younger brother can't take his turn." If we stand strongly, we will inevitably attract the criticism of the courtiers, and it is not advisable. Now I can only choose among the sons of this sick man. I thought that the king of Guangling could stand. ”
Liu Bi said: "I heard that the most favored by this faint monarch is the king of Guangling, and he often takes the king of Guangling with him, if Wei Taiwei and the ministers only write to persuade the prince to be established, it is estimated that the king of Guangling is very likely to be established." It's just that I don't know if King Guangling is a generous and lover king? ”
Ju Wenzhen said with a smile: "This makes you rest assured that someone has already been arranged by King Guangling's side. He turned his head to Yang Zhilian and said: "It's the grandson of the old enemy, King Guangling, who is much better than his father, and is polite to us." Lao Yang, do you remember that when his father was the prince, he didn't even look at us! ”
He told Yang and Liu all his dark lines to show his absolute trust in them. How could the two of them not understand that he was showing his heart? flattered two sentences at the moment, praising Ju Wenzhen's foresight, which made Ju Wenzhen intoxicated.
Yang Zhilian said: "Sure enough, when we think about it, we feel that this head is unstable." ”
Ju Wenzhen nodded and continued: "This King of Guangling is different. When the first emperor was there, he was polite to us, and he could see what we had fun, unlike his father. The grandson of the old enemy family said that the king of Guangling did not look down on us as eunuchs, and he would not be able to leave the little enemy for a while. It's much better than his father. ”
He said it was much better, but it was much easier to deal with. Yang Zhilian and Liu Pi understood it. Liu Pi spoke first: "Since this is the case, then let's go back and persuade Taiwei to support King Guangling to live in the East Palace." It's just that this matter is related to our lives and futures, and we must be cautious, can General Ku Da be sure of it? ”
Ju Wenzhen replied with a smug face: "This is natural." Since the day Xue Yingzhen was imprisoned, we have begun to pay attention to King Guangling, and we have invested a lot in what he likes. At the moment, the wind is tight, and Liu Yuanjun can't leave for a while, so it's better to live in my mansion, and forgive no one who dares to search for people in my mansion. In the past few days, I have taken an opportunity to test King Guangling again, so that it will be perfect. ”
Both of them nodded in agreement, and discussed for a while, but before they knew it, it was late at night, wax tears flowed for a long time, and the candlelight gradually dimmed. The three of them were full of energy, as if they had taken stimulants. The three of them looked at each other, and there was another long laugh, and then they heard the sound of birds fluttering outside the house. The three of them suppressed their laughter, Yang Zhilian said goodbye, Liu Pi went to the guest room to rest, and Ju Wenzhen also came out to prepare to return to the room. When she arrived in the courtyard, the sky was already a little hazy and white, Ju Wenzhen stood in the corridor and looked at the trees in front of the room, and the birds that slowly flew back in the air, and wondered in her heart: "Are we really laughing so ugly?" The night was already dark, Ju Wenzhen didn't have time to think about it, waved his sleeves and walked towards the courtyard gate, several figures appeared from the darkness, bowed his head and said, "General." Ju Wenzhen nodded, and the two of them flashed to the front, protected Ju Wenzhen in the middle, and walked out of the courtyard.
Not long after Ju Wenzhen left, a few more birds flew up in the tree, and a black shadow floated out of the tree with a "whoosh", only to the outside, and a few ups and downs disappeared.
At midnight, on the streets of Chang'an, a horse-drawn carriage rumbled past, mixed with the clatter of horses' hooves, which was particularly arrogant and harsh in the middle of the night, and made a lot of light sleepers. These people looked out the window and couldn't help scolding: "Which official is the master, who doesn't even sleep for our people to sleep well." After scolding, he fell asleep again, probably having fallen asleep, and he didn't even hear a few horses passing by outside, but the sound of horses' hooves was very soft and light.
The dragon candle had a high fever, but Li Yu sat in the imperial study and did not fall asleep. Just staring at a piece of paper in distraction. There was a bowl of decoction on the side, black and bright, it might have been cold, and it no longer emitted a faint aroma, but where it was placed, it looked quite demonic. Li Zhongyan on the side had blurred his eyes, and he was still trying to prevent himself from yawning. Li Zhongyan saw that it was late at night, and stepped forward and said softly: "Everyone, it's late at night, let's rest." News will come tomorrow. ”
Li Yu ignored him, still looking at the piece of paper in his hand, silent. There was silence in the room, and only the candlelight seemed to flicker and hiss.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the window, and Gou Sheng's voice sounded softly outside the window: "Your Majesty, Li Yu is back!" ”
Li Yu suddenly stood up from his seat and squeezed out a word fiercely from his mouth:
"Xuan!"
