Yuan Ang received Liu Qi's will and came to the outside of the Yongshou Hall of Changle Palace, and the confessor hurriedly entered the hall to report to the Empress Dowager Dou: "Report to the Empress Dowager, Yuan Ang asks to see you outside the palace." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Oh, Yuan An, who is also my old minister, why did he suddenly come here today and invite him in. ”

"No. ”

Yuan Ang walked into the hall quickly, and when he saw the Empress Dowager Dou sitting above the main room, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Minister Yuan Ang pays a visit to the Empress Dowager." ”

"Yuan Aiqing, please take a seat. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie. ”

Empress Dowager Dou pondered for a moment and asked, "Yuan Aiqing, why did you suddenly come to see my blind old woman today?"

After Yuan Ang sat down on his knees, he saluted again: "The Queen Mother, the ministers are not here for anything else, but to ask the Queen Mother for advice on the succession to the throne." ”

"Oh, the succession?"

"Exactly, His Majesty clearly told the ministers this morning that after 10,000 years of Your Majesty, the throne will be inherited by King Liang to see if it is possible, and let the ministers discuss it. ”

"Oh, does Yuan Aiqing have any high opinion on this matter?"

"The Queen Mother, I can't talk about it, and the minister thinks it must not be. ”

When Empress Dowager Dou heard Yuan Ang say this, her stretched face immediately wrinkled, and she said in a stiff voice: "Is this the meaning of Yuan Aiqing alone, or is it the opinion of the ministers and ministers?"

Yuan Ang continued to say with a pleasant face: "Empress Dowager, this is the opinion of some ministers who are concerned about the safety of the Han Society. ”

"Tsk, tsk, Yuan Aiqing, I don't like to hear this, isn't it just the brother and brother, the old woman doesn't know much about the past, but I heard the historian say that there are many precedents in the Shang Dynasty, and it is not safe to see the Shang Dynasty during that time period, your worries are superfluous. ”

"Then may I ask the Queen Mother, if King Liang inherits the throne, who will inherit the throne after King Liang is bombarded?"

"It's very simple, the throne will be given to Emperor Jing's son. ”

"The queen mother, by all means, there are different examples in the past, the Spring and Autumn Period of Song Xuangong chose the heir when he did not set up a son and set up a younger brother, causing the chaos of his family, his son and uncle, and their respective descendants are in turmoil, the fifth generation is not peaceful, and the small unbearable is bad for the righteousness, if these are a little far away The Queen Mother is not very clear, let's talk about the near, Gaozu wanted to abolish the prince Xiaohui Emperor at that time and set up King Zhao (Liu Ruyi) as the crown prince, but the result was not established, just this little episode on the two Zhao kings died tragically for no reason, Mrs. Qi was abused to the extreme and became a person and died unjustly, the war continued, and the Han Dynasty almost changed his surname to Lu, If King Liang is allowed to inherit the throne, and then pass the throne to Emperor Jing's son, then King Liang's son will have resentment, which will cause fratricidal strife within the family, once the situation expands, it will become difficult to clean up, maybe the Han Sheji will no longer exist......" Yuan Ang came prepared, and found the right time to say so much to the Empress Dowager Dou in one breath.

Empress Dowager Dou's eyebrows wrinkled even tighter, obviously frightened by Yuan An's assumptions, and said softly: "Yuan Aiqing, don't say it, it turns out that there is so much knowledge about the succession to the throne, it was my old lady who didn't think it through, go back and tell the emperor, according to the ancestral system, so that no one is wrong, and it will not cause civil strife in the Liu family." ”

"The Empress Dowager is wise, I will immediately start Your Majesty, let Your Majesty do a good job of inheriting the throne according to the ancestral system of the Han Dynasty, and the minister will retire. Yuan Ang successfully completed the task assigned to him by Liu Qi, and flew out of Changle Palace at a trot.

Liu Qi met Yuan Ang in the Xuan Room of Weiyang Palace, and before Yuan Ang entered the door, he saw Liu Qi rushing out of the hall from the hall, and urgently grabbed Yuan An's hand and said, "Yuan Aiqing, how are things going, looking at your expression, it should be about the same, right?"

Yuan Ang replied with a spring breeze on his face: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has canceled the plan to let King Liang succeed to the throne, and now Your Majesty's heart disease can be removed." ”

"Oh, if that's the case, Yuan Aiqing is really a great merit, and the Queen Mother really listens to you?"

Yuan Ang smiled and told the story of persuading the Empress Dowager Dou, Liu Qi was convinced again and again, and then said in a changed tone: "This is not the end, we must determine the candidate for the crown prince as soon as possible, let King Liang die of this heart, otherwise there will be many dreams at night, which prince does Yuan Aiqing think is more suitable for me to choose as the prince?"

Yuan An's heart trembled and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is still decided by Your Majesty, and you can choose a person with both ability and political integrity to inherit." ”

"Hahaha, I have fourteen sons, the eldest son Rong was deposed, the king of Hejian is good at Confucianism, and he can only die to study; King Lu Gong Yu stutters and likes to build palaces; the king of Jiangdu is not brave and unscrupulous; the king of Jiaoxi is temperamental; the king of Zhao Jing is good at the law but abuses; the king of Zhongshan Jing is a good woman; the king of Changsha is young; the above and other sons are not suitable to succeed to the throne, only the king of Jiaodong, Liu Yu, is smart and clever, and his mother Wang Wan has a dream of entering the noble elephant and has the air of an emperor, but it is a pity that it is the tenth son, if the king of Jiaodong is the prince, I don't know what Yuan Aiqing suggests?"

"Your Majesty is Shengming, but you have to convince the world to establish the advantage of King Jiaodong as the crown prince, otherwise you can't convince the public. Yuan Ang suddenly turned around and shouted, "Someone is eavesdropping under the pillar, I don't want my head, so I don't want to come out quickly." ”

I saw a thin confessor walking out from behind the pillars of the main hall, Liu Qi smiled when he saw it: "It turned out to be Dashun, is there anything wrong?"

At this time, Dashun replied in fear: "Report to Your Majesty, lunch is ready, do you want to pass it on now?"

"Oh, I'll just go over by myself, so I don't have to bring it. ”

"No, the little one is retired. Da Shun Xiao walked quickly out of the hall.

Yuan Ang said very anxiously: "Your Majesty, this person is reliable, he should have heard the conversation just now, he will not do bad things to leakers." ”

Liu Qi replied disapprovingly: "Hmph, I just want to let the news of the crown prince get out, so that the opponents can have a psychological preparation, hahaha." ”

Dashun walked out of Weiyang Palace at night, took advantage of the night to come to a private house next to him, and saw two familiar faces appear in front of him, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short, and said: "Da Shun Ye, how is the news being heard?"

"I won't hide it from the two of you, the queen mother's plan to urge the emperor to establish King Liang as the heir has gone bankrupt, and the next step is to establish King Jiaodong as the crown prince. ”

"Oh, exactly, for what reason, and who is against it?"

"The two masters, it is true, it is mainly the queen mother who is opposed by some ministers of the court headed by Yuan Ang, and Yuan Ang went to persuade him. ”

"Oh, I see, thank you Da Shun. As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket and stuffed them into Da Shun's hands, these two people were Gongsun Wei and Yang Sheng.

Gongsun Wei said to Yang Sheng: "Brother, we have to leave Chang'an immediately and return to Suiyang to report to King Liang, if the report is not timely, our heads will not be protected." ”

"Yes, let's go. Yang Sheng also replied eagerly.

So the two of them rode fast horses and went straight to Suiyang, the capital of Liang State, to report the news, King Liang was discussing with Han Anguo in the palace of Suiyang, the capital of Liang State, King Liang said while waving his sword: "Han Neishi, does this king have a noble appearance as an emperor?"

Han Anguo bent down and replied: "The king is noble, but the emperor's qi is in the sky and not in people, and the emperors are all determined by heaven, so it is better to ask the king to be at peace with what happens." ”

"Oh, Han Neishi means that this king will not get the throne of the emperor. King Liang put away the sword and continued, "Rong'er was deposed, and the other princes are all wasted, how can they compete with this king, and there is still some certainty about inheriting the throne of this king." ”

"The king is not also, there is a prince who may not have thought that the king has an extraordinary IQ, and he was born with the appearance of an emperor, and it is possible to inherit the throne. ”

"Is the prince you are talking about Liu Yu?"

"Exactly. ”

"Hahaha......" Liu Wu, the king of Liang, laughed when he heard that it was Liu Yu, "If this king and the nephew of Liu Yu who has not dried up compete for the throne, then let this king rest assured, the victory or defeat will be certain, and this king is still ashamed to compete with him." ”

"The king should not be careless, I hope that the words of the old minister will not be fulfilled. ”

"Report to the king. Suddenly, Yang Sheng Gongsun Yi appeared at the door of the main hall and shouted loudly.

Liu Wu was full of surprise when he saw the two of them, and said, "The two of you came back so soon, and the matter is done." ”

Yang Sheng replied: "The king, I went to Chang'an to see the queen mother, and the queen mother also suggested to the emperor to make the king the heir to the throne, and the emperor also agreed, but ......"

"But what, tell me what the result is?"

"Killed Yuan Ang and others halfway, and said that the queen mother's mind was alive, so that the queen mother completely changed her original idea, and now the king's dream of being the emperor is about to disappear. ”

"What?" King Liang angrily drew his sword and slashed at the coffee table in front of him, which was instantly split in half, and said sharply, "Yuan An, I am inseparable from you. ”

Gongsun Wei stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, why don't we quickly count the people, kill Yuan Ang and some corrupt ministers, and snatch the emperor's throne back." ”

"Hmm...... , reasonable, otherwise it will be difficult to understand the anger in the heart of this king. ”

Han Anguo, who was on the side, immediately said anxiously: "The king can't, this matter must not be, if this is the case, not only will you not be able to win the emperor's throne, but you will also be killed." ”

Gongsun Yi immediately sneered: "Hehehe, Han Neishi is really a timid mouse, what kind of person is our king, the younger brother of the current emperor, the precious son of the queen mother, kill some villains like Yuan An's generation, such as taking the dog's life, see who dares to touch a single hair of the king." ”

Yang Sheng also chimed in: "That's it, that's it, don't listen to Han Neishi's corrupt words." ”

Han Anguo immediately sneered at each other: "You two villains, don't you have no place for the important king?"

Liu Wu, the king of Liang, immediately shouted: "You all shut up to this king, Han Neishi quickly retreated, this king has to let Yuan Ang and others die in Huangquan, those who dare to stop this king from stepping on the throne can only relieve the hatred in their hearts by killing." ”

Han Anguo immediately lay on the ground and cried bitterly: "King, you can't do it, you can't help it." ”
