Chapter 53: Take your fate into your own hands
"Do you think, does Liang Ji have a heart of disobedience?"
Xu Huang smiled meaningfully, "Maybe there is, maybe not, but as long as His Majesty wants him to have it, he will definitely have it." ”
This is really too awkward, and there are some tricks to make sense, but Liu Zhi understands it in seconds.
Regardless of whether Liang Ji has the intention of rebelling or not, as long as Liu Zhi is determined to eradicate him, it is not impossible to be charged with rebellion based on what he has done.
"Xu Qing is really witty, please plan for me with you."
Liu Zhi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but extend his thumb.
So he summoned Shan Chao and Zuo Yi to discuss together, and Zhang Rang stood at the door and let them out.
"If Your Majesty wants to overthrow the Liang thief, it will definitely not work on us alone, and you must get the help of the ministers of the DPRK and China."
Xu Huang deserves to be his think tank and put forward a more constructive proposal.
Liu Zhi was also very clear about this, but he was deliberately separated from the ministers by Liang Ji, and he couldn't understand their true thoughts.
"Last time, His Majesty showed favor to Taiwei Du, and the minister also took the opportunity to reveal some meaning to him, Taiwei hated the Liang thief, and the two of them were already on the same page, I think the first one can win him over."
Shan Chao also made an idea on the side.
Taiwei is the head of the three princes, and if he can help him, he will naturally get twice the result with half the effort, Liu Zhizheng was about to readily agree, but Xu Huang shook his head again and again.
"This move is inappropriate, Taiwei does hate Liang Ji, but he has never disliked eunuchs such as us, and disdains conspiracy, not to mention that his goal is too big, and it is easy to leak secrets when cooperating with him."
It makes sense to think about it this way, Liang Ji is very targeted at Du Qiao, if he has too much contact with him, it is indeed inappropriate.
Several people fell into an impasse again, all of them lowered their heads and tried desperately to think, and suddenly Shan Chao laughed.
"If I want to say that I really have a good candidate, he is also a fellow countryman, this person comes from a family, is in a high position, and is a strong and upright person."
Liu Zhi was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
"Shang Shu Ling Yin Xun."
It turned out to be him.
The biggest difference between the official system in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty is that Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu gave all the power of the three dukes to Shang Shutai.
And the three dukes have almost become an empty shelf, if the three dukes want to grasp the power of Shangshutai, they must have the suffix "record Shangshushi".
It is precisely because the power of the three dukes has been greatly weakened that the power of Shang Shuling, the supreme governor of Shang Shutai, has increased a lot.
Emperor Guangwu ordered the Imperial History Zhongcheng to sit with the commander of the school and the Shangshu Ling, so Kyoto called it "three solitary seats", which shows the transcendence of its status.
Yin Xun's ancestor Yin Mu was once a lieutenant, and his brother Yin Song was a situ, and it is said that when he was young, every time he saw the things of those loyal ministers and righteous men in the book, he would sigh with emotion.
So he has always been unaccustomed to what Liang Ji did, but he and Du Qiao also have political disagreements, so they are usually neutral, and there are no radical actions on the surface.
"How sure are you that you want to persuade Yin Xun?"
Taiwei is only good in name, if you want to talk about real power, or Shang Shuling is more practical, if you can pull him into your camp, why worry about big things.
"At least fifty percent sure."
Shan Chao is not a person who likes to boast about Haikou, and the probability of fifty percent is not low, Liu Zhi nodded.
"Okay, then I'll leave Yin Xun's affairs to you."
Xu Huang also advised beside him, "No matter what, you must be safe, and don't be in a hurry." ”
"No, I know, Chao must be cautious and will not easily leak secrets."
Knowing that it is a matter of life and death for everyone, Shan Chao does not dare to be careless, although he is sincere in his meritorious service, he will not risk his life.
After all, he is not alone and has two brothers to take care of.
"The slave thinks there's someone else to try."
Zuo Yi, who had not said much, opened his mouth, and seeing that he had not made an inch, he was also a little anxious.
"Who is it?"
Liu Zhi is now in a hurry to form his own team, and he will not let go of any possible candidate.
"The newly appointed Guanglu Xun Yuan Xu."
Yuan Xuan is the grandson of Yuan An, a famous minister of the Han and Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the Yuan family has been afraid of power for several generations, and fought with relatives, and his father Yuan Chang was framed to death by the then general Dou Xian.
After Dong Liang openly opposed Liang Ji last time, he was falsely accused by him and has been cut down, and his successor is Yuan Xu.
He doesn't have any dealings with Liang Ji on weekdays, and on the surface, there is no conflict of interest, so why does Zuo Yi think he will be involved in this matter?
The latter smiled mysteriously, "Your Majesty still remembers Yuan Zhi, Yuan Langzhong." ”
Both of these people are surnamed Yuan, what is the blood relationship? No, if Yuan Xuan and Yuan Zhu were relatives, Liang Ji would have objected to it last time when he was appointed Guangluxun.
Speaking of which, Yuan Xuan and Yuan Xuan are brothers, and the age difference between the two is very different, but few people know it, in fact, Yuan Xuan is also his teacher.
Yuan Zhi was bright and studious when he was young, and Yuan Xuan appreciated him very much, so he often taught him personally. ”
Unexpectedly, there was such a relationship between the two of them, presumably after Yuan's "tragic death", Yuan Xuan lost his beloved apprentice, and he must have been very dissatisfied in his heart.
It's just that how did Zuo Yi know about such a private matter?
"Hey...... Well, their Runan Yuan family is a famous family, and I'm a bit of a bad person, and I like to pay attention to other people's interesting things. ”
Zuo Yi scratched his head embarrassedly, it sounds good, doesn't he just like to gossip around, but now Liu Zhi feels that this is a big advantage.
"Haha...... This bad problem is good, if you can convince Yuan Xuan to take credit to you, you will have to help me inquire more in the future. ”
After receiving the emperor's praise, Zuo Yi was overjoyed and immediately replied, "The slave must make persistent efforts." ”
When he said this, several people couldn't help but laugh.
After discussing it for a while, there was no concrete progress, but the atmosphere was very pleasant, and the monarch and the minister got along.
After lunch, everyone left in disguise, Liu Zhi's heart was full of confidence for the first time, it has been a year since he ascended the throne, and only today has he achieved some substantial results.
Although it is still just a prototype, he believes that the future will get better and better, and one day, he will hold his fate in his own hands and no longer live trembling.
Xu Huang's words today also reminded him that he can't be at a loss to do things, and he must have a charter, otherwise it will be difficult to last long after all.
Now that the palace has sorted out some clues, shouldn't the net be closed outside the palace?
Led by the Fan family and Dong Ban, recruit more capable people to form their own spare people, after all, those eunuchs may not be very reliable, and they still have to prepare more.
Thinking of this, he went directly to the second-hand bookstore, today he plans to have a showdown with Dong Ban, and after a few months of getting along, he has figured out the other party's character.
Trust that they will not fail themselves either.
Unexpectedly, Deng Yan was the only one in the bookstore, and the students who had been prostitutes in the past were gone.
"Mr. Dong was invited to give a lecture by the school in the back, and Lu Jun was also with him."
Lu Feng and Dong Ban have always been inseparable, Liu Zhi shook his head, "You close the door, let's go to Fan's house together." ”
On the way, Liu Zhi asked about the current livelihood of the Deng family, but Deng Yan lowered his head embarrassedly.
"As soon as my father's death day passes, my mother will be ready to remarry, and she may move back to the alley when the time comes."
In this era, etiquette was not strict, and it was common for women to remarry, not to mention that his mother was only in her early thirties, and she was beautiful and delicate.
It's just that in this way, Liu Zhi has no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't know if he is willing to take risks with him.
"What about you? Ready to go along? ”
