Chapter 195: Suicide
There was a person named Wang Mi who wrote a letter to the emperor, because Hu Lan made the king, and the king secretary wrote a watch and seal, singing the praises of merit and virtue.
This incident caused repercussions in the court, and many people said that the secretary of the king was a sycophant of Hu Lan.
After a lot of discussions, it was discussed on Song Lan, saying how Song Lan chose this kind of sycophant, saying that it was Song Lan's dereliction of duty.
This matter involved Song Lan, and Song Lan naturally wanted to ask, so she asked the secretary to take a look at the seal and see what the secretary had written.
After reading it, Song Lan wrote a letter to the secretary of the king.
Tell the secretary that he has read the article written by the secretary, and things are still okay, and things will change with the passage of time.
The letter was told to Hu Lan.
To say that Song Lan is to say that the secretary of the king is doing the right thing, and that Hu Lan will indeed change over time.
When Hu Lan learned about it, he was very angry, saying that Song Lan was disrespectful to him, and sentenced Song Lan to shave off her hair and do hard labor.
This kind of punishment is very heavy for Song Lan, he is talented, morally noble, and attaches great importance to his image, which is a great humiliation for him.
But when faced with this matter, Song Lan was very calm, such humiliation did not hit him.
Hu Lan sent someone to see it three days later, and three days later, Song Lan was still calm.
Hu Lan frowned and said, "What does Song Lan mean by this?" Do you want the king to do it himself? ”
This word reached Song Lan, and Song Lan said: "This is my mistake, I didn't expect Hu Gong to mean that, okay." ”
So, Song Lan chose to commit suicide.
This is Hu Lan's natural suspicion, Hu Lan, who is now over sixty years old, can be said to be already suspicious, he understood Song Lan's words in the letter as a sign of changing the sky, and therefore unjustly killed Song Lan.
What Hu Lan did was close to hysteria.
However, he is not insane either.
He was just nervous, thinking that Song Lan's letter meant that he, Hu Lan, would be unlucky in the future.
But Song Lan did not defend herself.
He is a real upright gentleman, with high status and noble character, he feels that he is a dignified man, and he doesn't care about this, he wants to kill or kill casually, there is no need to plead.
Moreover, he had long expected that Hu Lan wanted to kill himself, even if he pleaded, it was useless.
Because, Hu Lan may want to take revenge on him.
When Hu Lan occupied a state, he once said proudly at a banquet: "This state is very good, but there are 300,000 people." ”
At this time, Song Lan once stood up and said: "Duke Hu, now that the world is falling apart and the lives are ruined, Master Wang is here, not first asking about the customs, not appeasing the people first, but first thinking about how much oil and water he has fished, how many benefits he has gained, and he can develop and expand his own power, is this what the people of our state hope for Hu Gong?" ”
As soon as Song Lan's words came out, all the guests' faces turned white with fright.
Hu Lan immediately changed his face and was in awe of Song Lan.
Hu Lan said: "Mr. Song, you are right, this is the power of justice and morality. ”
Song Lan's righteous and awe-inspiring words made everyone respect him, and although Hu Lan said so on the surface, Hu Lan's heart was knotted.
Hu Lan waited for twelve years, and used Song Lan's death to unravel this knot.
It is also possible that Hu Lan killed him in order to arrange the future.
Now Hu Lan has put the matter of the successor on the agenda.
Hu Yun and several other brothers, in order to compete for the storage position, have launched an open and secret battle.
At this time, Hu Lan secretly solicited the opinions of hundreds of officials, and these people also secretly wrote back to Hu Lan, telling Hu Lan who he favored and who he would choose.
Only Song Lan replied publicly, saying that from ancient times to the present, he has established a successor, and said that Hu Lan should choose the eldest Hu Yun. , and Hu Yun Ren Xiao is smart, so he should be in this position, Song Lan said that he is willing to defend this righteous path with his death.
Hu Lan was taken aback after seeing it.
In fact, he will choose a successor from among his two sons.
One is Hu Yun, and the other is Hu Yue.
And Hu Yue's wife is Song Lan's niece.
According to personal feelings, Song Lan should support Hu Yue, but he supports Hu Yun.
However, one thing worth mentioning is that Hu Yue's wife, that is, Song Lan's niece, was killed by Hu Lan one day because she was wearing a beautiful dress.
Hu Lan liked Hu Yun, so he killed Song Lan, although Song Lan also supported Hu Yun.
In his later years, Hu Lan was gradually arranging the aftermath of the transition of power, and in the process of fighting the world, talent was crucial to his career, and in the process of power transition, Hu Lan would not be soft at all for any talent who would affect the transition of power.
Feng Man also participated in the battle for succession.
Feng Man can be said to be extremely smart and humble at the same time, and it is precisely because of this that Feng Man and all of Hu Lan's sons have a good relationship.
Hu Lan's sons are all vying to make friends with Feng Man, and Feng Man doesn't dare to offend anyone and make friends with everyone.
After Hu Lan decided to make Hu Yun the crown prince, Feng Man also began to alienate Hu Yue, but Hu Yue grabbed Feng Man and didn't let go, and Feng Man didn't dare to turn his face with Hu Yue like this, so he could only maintain such a relationship.
However, the relationship between Feng Man and Hu Yun is not bad, it can even be said that it is very good, and he once gave Hu Yun a sword.
The real reason is that Hu Lan killed Feng Man for himself.
Feng Man is a very smart person, but only a little smart.
He worked under Hu Lan and dealt with official documents, feeling that these official documents didn't take much time for him at all, so he always slipped out to play.
But people are not as good as heaven, they will always be caught, Hu Lan caught Feng Man and asked Feng Man why he was so foolish.
Feng Man also likes to show off his cleverness.
Hu Lan once wrote a "live" character on the door, and Feng Man immediately called someone over and asked them to make the door smaller.
Everyone asked why, Feng Man said: "There is a job inside the door, that is, wide, Hu Gong is disgusted with the big door." ”
Another time, someone gave Hu Lan a box of halva, and Hu Lan took a bite and wrote a combination.
When Feng Man saw it, he took the halva and began to eat it.
Everyone asked Feng Man what he meant, and Feng Man said: "The so-called combination means that one person takes one bite and one person eats one mouthful." ”
This kind of show-off is just that, but he still has to guess Hu Lan's military arrangements.
When he was fighting Hanzhong, someone asked Hu Lan if he had any instructions? Hu Lan said casually.
It's a pity to discard it.
As soon as Feng Man heard this, he began to pack up his things and said to others, do you still need to guess? Hu Gong is planning to leave.
This is a military operation, and you can't be clever at this time.
It was also because of this that not long after returning home, Hu Lan killed Feng Man on charges of leaking state secrets, forming a party for personal gain, and misleading the public.
Before he died, Feng Man said: "I also know that I died too late, I should have died a long time ago." ”
Hu Lan is a dictator and wants to have a monopoly on power.
Such a person cannot tolerate others guessing their own minds, but he can only guess other people's minds.
