Volume 1 Disputes and Troubled Times Chapter 122 Feng Le Lou
Wang Rong looked back at his guards, waved his hand, and let everyone disperse. Wang Mao followed Wang Rong to Wang Rong's house, and he made hot water for Wang Rong and asked Wang Rong to clean his face.
Wang Rong washed his face and said to Wang Hao: "Let the brothers have a good rest, tomorrow the city gate will be opened, and we will go out of the city and return to the city." ”
Wang Wei actually always had some questions in his heart that he wanted to ask, and when he wanted to speak and stopped, Wang Rong saw it, and Wang Rong asked: "If you have any questions, just ask, don't spit out." ”
When Wang Mo heard this, he sat down and asked, "Uncle, since you saw the Holy One, you have been saying that we are leaving tomorrow, why are you in such a hurry?" ”
Wang Rong knew that he was going to ask this, sighed, and asked, "As far as you observe, do you think the Holy Lord is seriously ill?" ”
Wang Mo said as a matter of course: "Of course not, just the old man's spirit, where is there a trace of serious illness." ”
Wang Rong was made full of black lines by Wang Mao's address to the saint, and he scolded: "Be respectful of the saint and be in awe." Now that you know that the old man is not seriously ill, then you are thinking about it, the news we have received these days has always been that the saint is seriously ill and has handed over the government to His Royal Highness the Prince. Why do you think so? ”
Wang Mao didn't know much about Dayong Chaotang, so he shook his head and said he didn't know.
Wang Rong looked at him and said slowly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dayong is about to fall. ”
It's really shocking, Wang Rong's words made Wang Hao's eyes widen, and he said in disbelief: "How is it possible? ”
Wang Rong smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for seeing that the Holy Lord was in good health, I wouldn't have thought of this. The emperor said that the illness made the crown prince to supervise the country, which was itself to test the prince's ability and ambition. But according to the news revealed by Zhang Yunshu, the prince's ability is very average, but his ambition is very great. There are many factors in the court that the prince is uneven, and there are many things, but the prince has not smoothed out. However, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't wait to attack the military power, which touches the holy scales. In the twenty years of the Holy Emperor's reign, his control of military power was extremely strict, and it was impossible for him to allow anyone to snatch military power from him, even the crown prince. ”
Wang Mo was puzzled: "Why? The crown prince is also the son of the saint. ”
Wang Rong listened to Wang Hao's question and was silent. Since ancient times, there have been very few people who have been able to ascend the throne of God. The main thing is that the emperor is a power animal, and his emphasis on his own power is perverted.
Such as Qin Shi Huang and Fusu, Qin Shi Huang did not appoint a prince in his life. As the builder of the Great Qin Empire, he did not allow anyone to divide power from him, thus laying the foundation for the death of the second Qin Dynasty.
For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the prince Liu Ju, the mighty and domineering Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is Liu Ju's idol and a dark cloud on Liu Ju's head. The old emperor held great power, and the prince's every move was suspected of decentralization, and the father and son were suspicious of each other, resulting in a tragedy such as the "Witch Curse".
For example, Tang Taizong and Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty had great power, had his own set of teams, and his own army. As a result, there was an irreconcilable power struggle between the emperor and the crown prince. And the ultimate form of political struggle is war. Li Chengqian wanted to reproduce Tang Taizong's "Xuanwumen Change", but ultimately failed.
Wang Rong sighed in his heart, there is really no father and son in heaven. If it weren't for his sufficient historical knowledge, he would have been like Wang Mao and wouldn't have understood these truths.
Wang Rong looked at Wang Mao with a question mark on his head, and did not intend to continue to explain. He said directly: "Okay, don't think about it, go back to sleep." Tomorrow we will leave the city. ”
Wang Rong's idea of leaving the city as soon as possible did not come true. Early the next morning, there was a knock on the door of their house.
The person who knocked on the door was Liu Jinshan, who came to pick up Meng Ao last night, Zhang Yunshu of course knew this Imperial City Division's personal commander, and he asked with a smile: "Commander Liu came to the cold house in person, is there something wrong?" ”
Liu Jinshan bowed and said, "Last night, there was a small mess again, which disturbed the nobles. The Imperial City Division lost some people, but fortunately Wang Rong and Wang Duwei came to the rescue, and came to the door today in order to invite Wang Duwei to Fengle Building to talk to the nobles. ”
Zhang Yunshu really didn't expect Wang Rong to be in such a situation, and he was even more curious about which nobleman was who could come to invite the Imperial City Division.
Zhang Yunshu said respectfully: "Since it is a noble person who invited me, then I will call Zhong Ming now." ”
As he spoke, he walked quickly through the verandah, came to the door of Wang Rong's room, knocked on the door, and said, "Zhong Ming! Zhong Ming! ”
"Squeak-" The door opened quickly, and the neatly dressed Wang Rong looked at Zhang Yunshu with a puzzled expression and asked, "Second son, what are you looking for me?" ”
Zhang Yunshu stepped forward and grabbed Wang Rong's arm, dragged him and walked out. Wang Rong was really not used to him like this, and quickly pulled out his arm.
Zhang Yunshu said as he walked: "The Imperial City Commander who picked up Mr. Meng last night came again, saying that there is a noble person who wants to see you. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Yunshu stopped, looked back at Wang Rong, and then sighed: "Zhong Ming, you kid can, this is only a day after coming to Yushancheng, and I met a nobleman." ”
Wang Rong looked at his curiosity, and said in his heart: What about the nobleman, that is obviously a saint, if you really let you know that the saint is in good health, and the food is fragrant, then you will be a kneeling person, kneeling.
Wang Rong did not give Zhang Yunshu a solution, but followed him to the gate of the courtyard. Wang Rong looked at Liu Jinshan, who was waiting in the gatehouse, and bowed and said, "I've seen Commander Liu." ”
At the same time as Wang Rong saluted, he returned the imperial city commander card that he had used last night to Liu Jinshan.
Liu Jinshan took the token, with an indifferent expression, and said, "Wang Duwei, please, don't let the nobles wait for a long time." Oh, that's right, Second Prince Zhang. ”
Liu Jinshan turned his head to look at Zhang Yunshu who was standing there, and said, "In the afternoon, there will be a decree from the palace, you better not run around." ”
Zhang Yunshu bowed and saluted: "I know the lowly position." ”
Liu Jinshan took Wang Rong on the horse, shook the reins, turned the horse's head, and walked towards Fengle Building.
Located in Ping Hong Fong, the largest red-light district in the city, Feng Lok Building consists of five buildings: east, west, south, north and central. The three floors are high, the fifth floor is facing each other, and the flying bridge railings are interconnected. The overall building is undulating, and the eaves and corners are staggered, which is magnificent.
Wang Rong followed Liu Jinshan into the West Building, passed through the first and second floors, and came to the third floor. The entire third floor is extremely empty, and the only one is the Imperial City priests standing in a circle, with their hands pressed to their waist knives, their eyes level, and their faces serious.
This layer was obviously covered by Emperor Qin Heng, and Wang Rong followed Liu Jinshan to a window position and sat down, waiting. After only a moment's effort, three footsteps came from the side room on the other side, and the one who walked in front was the emperor Qin Heng who he had just met last night, and he was followed by an old man, and... Zhang Pu.
