Chapter 982 Coup

dry country,

Yuxu Palace;

This is a Taoist palace belonging to the royal family located in the southwest corner of Shangjing.

It was built during the Renzong Dynasty of Qianguo. When there was a severe drought in the southwest, Emperor Renzong wanted to pray for the people in the disaster area, so he ordered the construction of this Taoist palace, and he fasted in it for three months.

This is also one of Renzong's virtues;

It's just that the scholar-bureaucrats who praised him intentionally or unintentionally ignored the question of how much it would cost to build such a huge Taoist palace.

After the Yan army broke through the Shang capital, they did not love to fight too much, but chose to hastily transfer the army back to help the prince who used his body as a bait. Therefore, many places around the Shang capital did not encounter the ravages of the Yan people.

Yuxu Palace is also well preserved;

now,

There is a person living here, whose status was once extremely noble, and in the true sense, one person is under one person and above ten thousand people.

but,

It was just once.

Zhao Mugou, dressed in a prince's uniform, marched in the deep garden under the leadership of two eunuchs.

finally,

In the courtyard where there was a withered leaf, I saw His Highness the Crown Prince sitting there in white.

The prince looked a bit sluggish, but he was in good spirits, and there was nothing wrong with his body. The five years of confinement did not make him lose weight, but gained a lot of weight.

After the two eunuchs finished leading the way, they retreated silently, leaving the place to the two surnamed Zhao.

"Why do you want to come and see me?"

"Because it's time to come, so I came." Zhao Mugou put the food box he was carrying on the ground, opened it, and took out a few side dishes and drinks from it.

The prince didn't see these food and jumped up excitedly, just looking at his change of shape, he knew that he was not short of fine clothes and food here.

Dressing a little casually is because when Jin Yi can only walk around at night and can't show others, he doesn't bother to tidy himself up.

Not only do you eat well here, but you will also regularly send women to the prince for luck.

In the past five years, the prince has given birth to two more grandsons and two daughters for the Zhao family.

However, the concubine can only stay at night, and will be sent in by the eunuch wrapped in a quilt, and will be taken out after dawn, and the child born will not be raised here.

This is actually a standard Tianjia enclosure.

Enclose your freedom, but it is only freedom.

In the eyes of Shengdou Xiaomin, this is still a day that is hard to find in dreams.

Zhao Mugou arranged the food and drink, and sat on the floor.

He has lost the youthfulness of a young man and has grown a beard. He looks handsome and stable.

The prince leaned forward, staring at Zhao Mugou carefully,

road:

"Look at you, and look at Ben Gong, haha."

Zhao Mugou didn't call the prince to eat, but picked up the wine glass, took a sip, picked up a piece of dried tofu with chopsticks, and put it in his mouth.

"Why don't you speak?" the prince asked.

"I'm from outside." Zhao Mu hooked down his chopsticks, "It's time for you to ask me."

"What should I ask you?"

"random."

The prince pursed his lips and said, "Is the father all right?"

"The health of the official family is not very good, but it is not bad either."

Four years ago, the government ordered people to build a Qingxin Pavilion in the southeast corner of Shangjing City, one for resting and the other for praying.

According to folklore, it is the benevolence of the officials who did things for the souls of the people in Shangjing who died under the butcher knife of Yangou in the past, in order to make them detached;

However, there is also a saying that the reason why Shangjing was broken into by Yangou back then was the result of the incompetence of the officials, so the officials had no face to face this Shangjing;

In the past two years, there have been rumors that they want to move the capital.

Therefore, the current pattern of big work is quite funny.

The emperor and the prince do not live in the imperial palace in the capital, but live in the Taoist temple in the east and west corners respectively.

"Tell me, when will I be able to go out?"

Facing this question, Zhao Mugou answered directly:

"The third prince of the Yan Kingdom was imprisoned in the Huxin Pavilion for many years. After he got out..."

"He is the prince, and this palace is the prince!"

"Do you still think you are a prince, my highness the prince?"

"you……"

"Do you think the official family will pass on the great treasure to a prince who once gave him a posthumous title of 'Li'?"

"you……"

"Everyone knows that you have no chance, but keeping you can keep the crown prince's position hanging, so that the officials will not be afraid anymore.

The country is there, but it is not there. There is no heir, only officials.

This is the official arrangement and idea.

The ministers below, even if they want to make suggestions and establish the foundation of the country, they can't avoid you;

However, the ministers can't let the ministers advise to abolish you first...or kill you first, right?

This is a knot, stuck here all the time, this is also your role. "

"Did you come today just to talk to me about this?"

Zhao Mugou shook his head and said:

"of course not."

"Tell me, your purpose."

"I want to save you."

"You just said it yourself, once I go out, I will die, unless..."

"That's the unless." Zhao Mu said bluntly.

"Hehehe..." The crown prince laughed, not daring to say anything, "The way of heaven has changed, the lineage of Emperor Taizu, who has been a pig for nearly a hundred years, has actually stood up again?"

Zhao Mugou was not angry, but looked at the prince calmly:

"You have no other choice."

"Do you think that I would foolishly give you this opportunity? This dragon chair belongs to my family! I can't allow your blood to get involved, you, dreaming!"

"It belongs to your family, and it's not yours. If you have this awareness, how can there be so many cases of scrambling for the throne in the Tian family throughout the ages?"

Zhao Mu clapped his hands together,

"I'm not here today to convince you. If you don't agree, it doesn't matter. Then I'll go."

Zhao Mugou turned around and walked out.

The prince said abruptly;

"when!"

Zhao Mugou stopped and said, "It's just today."

"Today?" The prince had an absurd expression on his face, "So hasty?"

Zhao Mugou shook his head slightly: "I've been preparing for a long time."

"Why did you inform me today?"

"Because of you, it really doesn't matter at all."

"Aren't you afraid that Ben Gong will not agree?"

"You are just a puppet, a card. In the past ten years, the Yan people have repeatedly violated the border, and my cause has been repeatedly frustrated. It is even more painful to have the country's capital destroyed. Your Majesty's reputation in the government and the public has long been in jeopardy;

Otherwise, I wouldn't use this trick to hang you here forever.

And you, in the eyes of great Confucians, have committed the fallacy of filial piety, but you are compliant with many people's wishes. It seems better to be an official.

perhaps,

It can make things right, can't it?

However, it doesn't matter without you, your younger brother Kang Wang is already waiting. "

"I'll go, I'll go with you." The prince stood up and walked over.

"Then follow."

Zhao Mugou walked ahead,

The prince followed behind;

First, he saw the two eunuchs who led the way in, lying on the side of the road, motionless;

Continuing to go outside, you can see many guards, all of whom were killed, lying on both sides of the corpse, and the air is filled with the smell of blood.

finally,

The prince followed Zhao Mugou out of the Yuxu Palace;

Outside, stood a group of guardsmen.

The murderous look of these forbidden soldiers was completely different from the previous forbidden soldiers in Shangjing in the eyes of the crown prince.

"I have something else to ask you." The crown prince whispered next to Zhao Mugou, "Are you not afraid of failure, let me cause civil strife, and give the people of Yan an opportunity?"

"I would have been worried, but now, I won't."

"Why?"

"The second round of national war broke out in Yanchu."

"That's a good opportunity. Yan, Chu, snipe and clam are fighting each other and have no time to take care of me. We happen to..."

"I just got the news that Chu State was defeated. In Shanggu County, hundreds of thousands of elites were lost."

"..." Prince.

Zhao Mugou turned his face sideways, looked at the prince, and said:

"So, no matter what you do at this time, it doesn't matter. Because, I have done a lot, and I have reached a situation where there is no harm."

Zhao Mugou took two steps forward,

Shouted to the Custodian soldiers in front of him;

"Congratulations to His Highness the Crown Prince for returning to court!"

These imperial soldiers knelt down one after another and shouted in unison:

"Congratulations to His Highness the Crown Prince for returning to court!"

...

"Xundao, Zi Zhan, this old man is ashamed, his time is numbered, and the two of you have been delayed."

Yao Zizhan stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to gently help Mr. Han press the quilt, and said, "Look at what you said, logically, you are our senior, we should take it for granted."

Li Xundao also said: "National affairs cannot be separated from my husband."

Han Xianggong shook his head and laughed at himself:

"The old man has been unable to speak clearly in recent years. If he sits there for a while, he will feel sleepy. This brain is sometimes sober and sometimes confused. How can it handle state affairs?"

Yao Zizhan hurriedly said: "You always stop there, you don't need to talk, we all feel at ease."

That year when the Yan people attacked Qian for the first time, they fought all the way to the upper capital, and the government and the public were shaken. The officials took this opportunity to clear out all the old ministers who had been in the Renzong period from the court, and then began a series of campaigns. reform;

But who knows, when the reform was in full swing, in a battle of the Three Kingdoms, the Yan army broke through Shangjing.

All of a sudden, the old forces in Qianguo started a crazy counterattack. The counterattack was so strong that the officials had to choose to avoid the edge for the time being;

Han Xianggong, on the other hand, is one of the representatives of the old forces. In the past few years, because of his presence, the conflict can be suppressed.

Li Xundao said: "I just got the news that the people of Chu were defeated, and the defeat was terrible. If it is not bad, then the people of Yan will soon turn their finger on me.

For the current plan, there is no other way but to fight against foreign enemies with the same enemy. "

Han Xianggong nodded and said:

"What Xun Dao said is very true. At this moment, it is time to unite as one."

Li Xundao sighed and said, "Does it have to be like this?"

There was a smile on Han Xianggong's old face:

"It has to be given to the people of the world. If an explanation is not true, it must be given to the people of the world. See hope, right?"

Yao Zizhan looked at Li Xundao and Han Xianggong suspiciously, but he couldn't understand.

Li Xundao said again: "You know, officials are not fools. Is it fair to the officials to do this?"

Han Xianggong's eye bags drooped,

The old minister from the Renzong Dynasty said directly:

"Emperor Renzong is not a benevolent monarch, but he has the word "benevolence" and a good name in history. Is this fair?"

Yao Zizhan's eyes widened. This great literary sage suddenly didn't even dare to take a big breath.

Li Xundao asked:

"Then which one did you choose?"

"Mugou."

"I thought you would choose from the remaining princes, but I didn't expect..."

"Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition failed, which broke the backbone of my military career. When the current officials are in power, they have repeatedly suffered national disasters and were bullied by Yangou.

This great country was originally brought down by Emperor Taizu, who succeeded Emperor Taizong as the emperor's younger brother. The reason for this is that even the capital city of Guizhou does not believe in the nonsense that brothers and sisters respect each other, and brothers will eventually reach each other.

Since Emperor Taizong's lineage could not cure the country, then return this chair to Emperor Taizu's lineage.

Get it right,

It also happens to give people in the world a new hope. "

"You are crazy, you are crazy!!!"

Yao Zizhan yelled and rushed out of the house, but when he just crossed the threshold, he saw a dense crowd of soldiers standing in the courtyard outside, and the place was already surrounded and impenetrable.

"Xundao, there are soldiers outside!" Yao Zizhan shouted.

Li Xundao did not panic, but sat down on the coffee table next to him and poured himself tea.

Han Xianggong looked at Yao Zizhan who was anxious there, and said with a smile:

"Seek the way by yourself."

"You already knew?" Yao Zizhan looked at Li Xundao incredulously, "You already knew!"

Li Xundao nodded.

"Then why do you..."

Han Xianggong replied for Li Xundao:

"Finding the way down the mountain is not for me to do official work, but to... I do it."

For Li Xundao, if one official must be replaced in order to unite many forces... then change it.

In comparison, starting a civil war at this time is the most stupid act, and the people of Yan will wake up laughing even if they are dreaming.

It can only be said that these people, these forces, chose the best time to launch.

Yao Zizhan sat down in a daze. In fact, this sage of dry country lacks a lot of talent in politics and practical work. He is good at two things, one is poetry and the other is life.

The intrigue in the officialdom is actually not very suitable for him, otherwise he would not have been demoted all the way when he was young, and almost died on an island in the East China Sea.

Han Xianggong looked at Yao Zizhan,

road;

"Zi Zhan..."

"Ah." Before Han Xianggong finished speaking, Yao Zizhan sighed first, and said:

"Let me draft the enthronement edict for Prince Rui's son."

Han Xianggong reminded: "Personate the prince first."

Yao Zizhan rolled his eyes and said, "Why take off your pants and fart?"

Han Xianggong said with a smile: "Because my heart will feel clean."

Li Xundao held the cup in his hand,

asked:

"Who did you choose in the army?"

A coup will definitely require the mobilization of the army;

And on the outskirts of Qingxin Pavilion of the official family, there is an army loyal to the official family that has been protecting the official family.

At this time, there is no need to hide it, Han Xianggong said directly:

"Zhong Tianlang."

Yao Zizhan was shocked: "He... how dare he!"

Zhong Tianlang is the prince's son-in-law, and he is appreciated and trusted by the officials and single-handedly promoted, but now...

Han Xianggong didn't take it seriously and said:

"That's why it's not all wrong to emphasize literature and suppress martial arts. Those generals, Qiu Ba, are all unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, haha."

Speaking of which,

Han Xianggong suddenly clenched his fist,

hit the bedside,

I myself also caused a series of coughing,

But even so, he raised his voice and cursed:

"The regent of the Yan Kingdom is a complete alien!"

Li Xundao corrected, "He's a weirdo."

The wonderful thing here is praise.

Yao Zizhan sighed, "If that brother Zheng is willing to rebel, then I'm willing to write a hundred poems to praise him."

Li Xundao said with a smile: "The ability to write poetry must be worse than yours, but it's just that his ambition is not here. You are the one who said that.

At that time, we hoped that Zhenbei Hou of the Yan people would rebel, but there was no rebellion;

Later, we looked forward to the rebellion of King Jingnan of the Yan people, but there was no rebellion;

Right now, we have to wait for the regent of the Yan people to turn against... As a result, he just commanded an army and defeated Chu.

Always looking forward to civil strife,

looking forward to,

Looking forward to the end of his own country.

sometimes,

I'm thinking about it myself,

Could it be that the people of Yan really belonged to the destiny, and they have produced outstanding people from generation to generation, and they are still the kind of... outstanding people who are dedicated to the country? "

at this time,

Han Xianggong, who was already a little tired, murmured:

"As long as Mugou sits on the dragon chair, everything will be fine."
