Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 911 The two kings fight like fire

The Luoyang court is solemn and majestic.

Above the court, a man was talking eloquently——

"King Langya's invitation to go north must not be started. The current situation in Jizhou is already complicated, but with King Jiangdu in charge, it will not be too chaotic after all. There is a bottom line, but if there is one more county king, there will be two political leaders. The door is where the real chaos begins.”

After the man finished speaking, he lowered his head, with his long beard drooping down his chest, and he was quite aloof and indifferent.

This person is Zhang Ying, and now he is firmly seated. The position of Shang Shuling is in his hands, and he is backed by a big family. Of course, he is high-spirited. , but it also makes those in important positions more important.

Zhang Ying, the talkative person of the Zhang family, originally took charge of the affairs of the Secretariat through the hands of the King of Guanghan. After consolidating his power, several princes and princes came to Beijing to fight for power, causing him to leave immediately. Under the control of King Guanghan, his status became more and more important, so his expression was different.

At this time, it was because the imperial court received a memorial from Qingzhou, saying that King Langya knew about the situation in Jizhou and wanted to go there to help, so the emperor discussed the matter.

What kind of person King Langya is, in fact, all the ministers in the imperial court know more or less that the youngest son of the late emperor is quite reluctant to be a teenager now. It is when he loves to play, and he has created several things in the past two years. The white dragon fish suit happened again, so he was reprimanded by Zong Zheng.

If it were said that this person deliberately went to the war-torn Jizhou to have fun and was discovered later, the officials would not be surprised. But if he said that he took the initiative to take responsibility and led troops to help King Jiangdu, then I am afraid not many people would believe it. .

So as long as you think about it, you will know that this is actually the attitude of several royal families in Qingzhou, and King Langya is just a cover.

However, King Lu and others in Qingzhou are not without enemies, so some people came out to oppose it, and Zhang Ying did not support this because he was related to King Jiangdu. Now King Jiangdu is not doing well in Jizhou. If the clan members are fighting for food, then Jizhou will really have nothing to do with King Jiangdu.

So there was this scene in front of me.

After Zhang Ying finished what he said, King Guanghan, who was at the forefront of the civil and military officials, nodded slightly at him to express his gratitude.

The relationship between the two people is not harmonious now. For the Shangshu Ling who he single-handedly promoted, King Guanghan originally planned to let this person be a mouthpiece to implement his will. He can also be regarded as a fig leaf to avoid being said to be a thief Gang is arbitrary.

Unexpectedly, he was manipulated by Zhang Ying and used his strength. After some manipulation, he was out of control. The original subordinate relationship turned into a cooperative relationship, and the relationship naturally became cold.

If it weren't for Zhang Ying's goodwill, and the King of Guanghan knew well not to make enemies easily, it would be difficult to win over Zhang Ying, and he might not even be able to maintain this cold relationship.

It is already very difficult to nod at this time.

After all, although there is a little conflict between King Jiangdu and his King Guanghan, they are generally related to each other. After all, King Jiangdu’s trip to Jizhou was approved by King Guanghan. He also contacted him after going there and gave several suggestions. Benefits.

If not, just looking at King Jiangdu's previous performance, he would have come back in despair long ago, even the clan was no exception.Naturally, I don't want anyone to make trouble in the past.

But as soon as Zhang Ying finished speaking, another person came out. It was during the Tian Cao Shangshu exhibition. This person followed some etiquette and met the emperor, and said: "The current situation in Jizhou can be said to be quite serious. It's dangerous. If it weren't for the great Sima of Youzhou, I'm afraid this chaos will spread to Sizhou and the capital. Although King Jiangdu is dedicated, the Jie people are really cunning, and they have the secret support of the Xiongnu behind them. You must be on guard against signs of something bigger, and it would be a good idea if someone could go to support you.”

He didn't say this clearly, but he was obviously going against Zhang Ying, which immediately made Zhang Ying's face look ugly.

Tian Cao Shangshu was an official under the Shangshu stage, and he was subordinate to him. However, this subordinate dared to come out and argue with him openly. This was never normal in all dynasties. It was just like him using external forces to balance his relationship with Guangzhou. The relationship with the King of Han was the same. As the power of the Chancellor increased greatly, his personal prestige grew, and he gradually became a powerful figure, which would inevitably make all parties taboo, so someone would reach out.

The exhibition period is just an appearance. It is nothing more than an eagerness to show loyalty. In this way, even if the struggle for power at the Chancellor fails, there will still be other benefits after clearly taking sides. What's more, this move may also win fame - —

Some people have already begun to build momentum, saying that Zhang Yingnai is a powerful minister. As a subordinate, if he speaks out and refutes his mistakes, wouldn't he still have the reputation of not being afraid of power?This is qualifications!
However, Zhang Ying also knew very well that at this stage, he really couldn't move the extension, because the person standing behind him was a prince...

Thinking like this, Zhang Ying's eyes moved slightly and fell on the figure beside Liu Chu, King of Guanghan——

Liu Miao, King of Ganling.

The Prince of Ganling was a county prince conferred by Emperor Xuanwu Liu Min. The current prince was the elder brother of the late king, the second son of Emperor Xuanwu, and the uncle of the current emperor Liu Dai. He was also the uncle of King Guanghan. .

As King Guanghan took power, undercurrents surged in the court, and there were faint signs of instigating the emperor to suppress King Guanghan. Against this background, several clan members were introduced to the capital and successively held official and military positions. Balance the influence of King Guanghan and prevent him from making further attempts.

In fact, in the past six months, the entire capital has welcomed more than one clan king, but they have been ups and downs like a revolving door. After some twists and turns, there are still no more than no one left, and among them the most powerful Yes, it's these two——

Liu Chu, the king of Guanghan, and Liu Miao, the king of Ganling.

But unlike the King of Guanghan who sat at the top of his power and interfered in everything, the King of Ganling was the Shaofu and one of the nine ministers. Well, he also has great power invisibly. Coupled with his qualifications and seniority, he also knows how to win over people. He has vaguely won over several other princes in the city, and behind it represents a huge family interest network, so he can be on the same court as the King of Guanghan. contend.

The words about the exhibition were undoubtedly issued under the will of King Ganling. At this time, Zhang Ying was not the only one looking towards him, almost all the civil and military officials in the court were looking towards him.

They are all thinking about how to end today's matter.

But at this moment, outside the palace gate, a drum suddenly sounded, seven times in a row, the sound was very urgent!
As soon as this sound fell, the expressions of the officials in the palace changed. They knew that this was a rule set by Xuanwu when he was at court. It meant that there was a war on the border and the military situation was urgent. They had to rush to report to the court!
This voice made the emperor Liu Dai, who had always been silent, get excited and immediately announced his arrival.
