Chapter Eighty-Four: The Truth

After all the guards of the palace city were withdrawn, Liu Hou also entered the palace surrounded by a large army. He didn't go to see Empress Dowager Wu and his two half-brothers, and some people might as well not see each other.

Liu Hou directly entered the council hall, which was the largest hall in the entire palace, and was the place where the emperor and his ministers usually discussed matters or held court meetings.

Liu Hou was honestly unwelcome, and after entering the hall, he sat down on the dragon chair at the top, because Liu Hou made chairs to give away everywhere in the "Ministry of Industry" a few years ago, so this dragon chair is no longer the kind of collapse that needs to kneel before, but a real chair with high feet.

However, this chair is very wide, almost one and a half meters wide, and it is decorated with gold and splendor, and the carved dragon and phoenix are gorgeous. Liu Hou sat on the dragon chair, stroked the dragon-shaped carving of the armrest of the chair, and couldn't help but sigh at the superb skills of the ancients.

It's just that the name of the hall is a bit vulgar, Liu Hou even thinks that this is the same as the sign of "Juyi Hall" that he used to hang in the watchtower hall of the "Ministry of Industry", he rolled his eyes and thought of a word: "Jinluan Palace", so he announced loudly that this palace will be called "Jinluan Palace" in the future.

In fact, "Jinluan Palace" is not an official name in later generations, and it is more used in the popular name of the people. The Taihe Hall of the Qing Imperial Palace in the Forbidden City is often commonly referred to as the "Jinluan Palace".

The source of the Jinluan Palace is the Daming Palace in Chang'an, Tang Dynasty. However, the Jinluan Hall was not the most important main hall in the imperial palace, nor was it the most important place for the emperor to deal with government affairs. The Jinluan Hall was a place where literati and scholars waited for the emperor's edict to deal with it, so it became extremely famous, and when it reached the common people, they thought that the emperor was holding a court meeting on the Jinluan Palace.

Emperor Chrysostom said, don't say change the name of a palace in your own palace, even if you change the surname of a person of a clan, you have to kowtow to thank you gratefully. As a result, the name of "Jinluan Palace" was decided, and Liu Hou's court meeting would be held in this place in the future.

On both sides of the main hall stood against the wall two rows of soldiers with loaded guns, these were the soldiers of the guards battalion led by Zhao Tong, and they never left the emperor's side. Guo Youzhi, Liu Yan, Xu Jing and the ministers who surrendered all poured into the hall, filling the hall to the brim.

Liu Hou frowned, it seems that this hall is still too small to accommodate all the courtiers, and it still needs to be expanded and expanded in the future.

The ministers knelt down the mountain and shouted long live, this is the first court meeting after Liu Hou ascended the throne as the emperor, he had not dealt with political affairs at all before, and political affairs were entrusted to Zhuge Liang, he was leading the Hong army to fight all over the world.

First of all, Guo Yuzhi came out to ask the Empress Dowager Wu and the two princes for their handling opinions, this Liu Hou had already discussed with Xu Jing, and now there is nothing to say, Liu Hou restated the words promised to Xu Jing, and named Liu Li as the candidate of Xijuan County, Liu Yong as the candidate of Lurong County, and the Empress Dowager Wu took away the title of the Queen Mother and retained the identity of a concubine.

Liu Hou also asked Zhu Bao to be responsible for going to the reserve barracks, selecting 1,000 people from the surrendered defenders, and being responsible for escorting the mother and son to the fiefdom.

Liu Hou specially confessed that the first principle of selecting people is voluntary, Liu Hou estimated that Wu Yi had been in business for a long time, and some soldiers may still be loyal to Wu Yi and Wu Amaranth, two brothers and sisters, these people staying in their own army is also a disaster, it is better to let her take away a hundred, the second principle is to eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Zhu Bao followed Liu Hou all the way down, and took countless prisoners along the way, such as the reorganization of prisoners and the selection of soldiers, he was familiar with these things, but this time it was the other way around, in the past, the good ones were selected and filled into the regular army, and this time the bad ones were selected and thrown to the mother and son, Zhu Bao naturally knew what to do.

Liu Hou also named Xu Jing as the Taishou of Rinan, and after selecting the escort soldiers, let him and the mother and son set off together, first to live in Lingnan temporarily, and then go to Ninan after pacifying Jiaozhou.

Xu Jing kowtowed again to thank him. The ministers couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that Xu Jing, the culprit#, had been pardoned. It seems that the new emperor is more benevolent than his son Liu Bei, and the little sin he committed is nothing, and this time he can finally pass the test.

In fact, they don't know that Liu Hou is definitely a ruthless master if he wants to be ruthless, and he can know this from his blowing up of the barracks. How can an emperor who only knows benevolence sit on the throne, and those who despise him in their hearts and think that he is only benevolent and have no anger are destined to suffer in the future.

After dealing with this matter, Liu Hou began to deal with the second thing, the second thing was to ask what happened in the palace during this time, that is, the truth of this coup, this matter Xu Jing knew best. Liu Hou asked Xu Jing to explain the matter clearly in front of the ministers, and still had the intention of letting him correct his name.

With Xu Jing's explanation, everyone knew that the incident was far from being as simple as they saw. It turned out that Wei and Wu were behind the scenes, and the real mastermind turned out to be Sima Yi.

Sima Yi had already begun planning this matter three years ago, and at that time, he had frequent contact with Wu Guo and communicated this conspiracy against Shu and the prince of Shu to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan sent Lu Xun as a specific executor to closely coordinate with the Wei State. On the Shu side, they bribed and instigated some civil officials headed by Xu Jing and some military generals led by Wu Yi as internal responses.

Wei and Wu sent envoys to Chengdu to make secret contact with Xu Jing and Wu Yi, and threw them a very tempting pie: Wei and Wu would do their best to help them snatch the succession to the throne from the crown prince Liu Chan.

Wu Yi is the maternal uncle of Liu Li and Liu Yong, but Liu Chan has no blood relationship with him, of course he hopes that his nephew will be the emperor. And Xu Jing also hoped that he would be able to go further after supporting the little emperor to ascend to the throne, so these two people hit it off with Wei and Wu, and the wolf bèi was a traitor.

In this plan, Wei and Wu were responsible for attacking Shu with all their might, containing the forces of Shu, leaving the army of the crown prince Liu Chan on the battlefield and unable to return to the imperial court, and at the same time transferring Zhuge Liang to facilitate Xu Jing, Wu Yi and others.

This is the reason why in the past two years, both Wei and Wu have continuously attacked Shu with heavy troops. In this process, Xu Jing gathered a group of civil servants, slandered the prince Liu Chan on the side, said all kinds of bad things about him, said that he was not suitable for the prince, and built Liu Bei to re-establish Liu Li as the prince.

Who knew that Liu Bei was not moved at all, a hero like him, who had read countless people, and had never seen anything in the world, he saw through the intentions of these people at a glance, and knew that the prince Liu Chan was innocent, of course he would not be fooled. Later, even Wu Amaran blew the pillow wind in his ears, but Liu Bei was still indifferent.

Originally, he wanted to punish these innocent people who slandered the prince, but the war on the border was fierce, and almost all the government was revolving around the war.

However, his hands were soft at this time, and he had no chance, these people moved more and more, especially after Zhuge Liang was transferred to Jingzhou to support Guan Gong, the government did not have his presiding, and gradually slipped into the abyss of losing control. Liu Bei is old, and years of conquest have left many scars and hidden dangers on his body.

In this case, the reactionary civil servants represented by Xu Jing gradually took control of the government, and the generals represented by Wu Yi gradually controlled the military power of the capital, which gave them the certainty of victory in launching a coup d'état.

Everything is ready only to the east wind, they still need an opportunity, they are waiting for the last moment to come, finally, they have waited for that time.

Liu Bei himself has cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure and angina. That day, Wu Amaran made trouble in front of him again, saying that he should change Liu Li to the crown prince, and this time, she made a particularly fierce fuss, using a woman's nirvana to cry, make trouble and hang herself, but this woman's stunt against men still doesn't work here in Liu Bei.

Liu Bei said that brothers are like siblings, husband and wife are like the master of clothes, will you feel when you cry, make trouble and hang yourself in front of you? Liu Bei still ignored Wu Amaran's crying, and finally was annoyed by her, he was furious, smashed the ink inkstone on the case, and scolded Wu Amaranth.

However, it is not appropriate for him to be angry with this kind of high blood pressure, but he is angry at this time, and as a result, the liver and yang are overpowered, the qi and blood are reversed, the wind and fire are disturbed, the blood is forced to surge, and the blood is overflowing in the brain. Well, in fact, so many professional terms mentioned above can be summed up in three words: "bursting blood vessels".

Yes, Liu Bei was so angry that he burst his veins, and I saw that he was furious and scolded Wu Amaranth a few words, and when Wu Amaranth was so frightened that he trembled, he suddenly fainted to the ground, unable to speak, and unable to move.

At this time, Wu Yuan was even more scared, and immediately sent the imperial doctor to see him, and after the imperial doctor looked and heard about it, it was not difficult to come to the conclusion: His Majesty was half-body, his mouth and tongue were crooked, his tongue was strong and his speech was weak, his body was numb, he was dizzy and headache, his face was red, his mouth was bitter and his throat was dry, he was irritable, his urine was red and his stool was dry, his tongue was red, his tongue was thin and yellow, and his pulse was strong.

After the diagnosis, the doctor also sweated on his forehead, why? Because of this kind of disease, they basically have no good way to treat it, even if their lives are saved, the patient is basically a half-paralyzed person who can't speak clearly.

If it is replaced by ordinary people, the treatment effect will be what it is, and the patient's family will not be able to do anything with him.

But this is the emperor, if it can't be cured, it's possible to lose your head. How many imperial doctors in history can't save the emperor, and finally have to bury the emperor? But I was afraid that I had to be treated, and the trembling hand of the doctor prescribed a side medicine to Liu Bei, and treated it according to the principle of suppressing the liver and quenching the wind, nourishing the yin and latent yang. Prescription medicine: hyssop, ochre, keel, oyster, white peony, scrophularia, turtle plate, asparagus, yinchen, neem seed, raw malt, licorice.

The prescription is correct, but this disease is a bruise in the head, not to mention a mere pair of traditional Chinese medicine, even if it is a modern treatment method, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine is exhausted, and the treatment effect will not be too ideal.
