Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 916 Han Dynasty (Part [-]) Dark clouds in Beijing hide murderous intent

The guards who came to deliver the message had never opened military memorials, but of course the memorials, memorials, and memorials presented to the emperor had to be screened first.

Even when passing through normally, the ministers present, especially the Yushitai and Shangshutai nowadays, can read it first before sending it to the emperor. When sending it, how to classify the memorial and which copy to put In the past, there were considerations as to which copy should be placed underground, as it could directly have a political impact.

But now their people are all in the Imperial Study Room. Although the people below are handling it, they still send it directly. This can only explain one problem -

This matter is indeed related to military affairs, and it is fatal news!
Therefore, whether it was Zhang Ying or some other important ministers, they couldn't help but cast their eyes on the guard who came to summon him, hoping to see some clues from his face.

But this is naturally an extravagant hope, and even the guards don't know the specific content.

Just considering the current time point and what was just debated here, everyone has some guesses in their minds.

There must be something happening in Youzhou in the North.

Could it be that Chen Zhi's troops have been defeated?
Such speculation appeared in the minds of the ministers at the scene, waiting for the few in the front row to announce it——

There are naturally explanations for the positions in the imperial study. Those in the innermost and front row are of course the emperor and his cronies Mo Anjie, followed by the two county princes, and then those with status comparable to the three princes, such as Yang Jie, Jiu Qing like Chen Yong was actually standing quite far back, side by side with the people in the minister's desk.

At this time, Yang Jie and Chen Yong looked at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes.

They didn't know the specific situation. They just knew that Chen Zhi was making preparations in Youzhou, but it was still a rough idea. What were the details?Just looking at the previous intelligence, as well as the plot and the memorial of King Jiangdu, it said that Wang Jun launched a three-pronged army to attack. This is not a small force. It is barely enough to attack the Huns. It is used to intimidate a county. How can people not worry? ?

"This……"

But then I saw the emperor and the county king in front of me. After reading the content, they were all surprised, and then they froze on the spot for a long time without doing anything else.

"What's going on? What's in it? Could it be that Wang Jun has won a big victory? But it doesn't look like it!"

The doubts in everyone's hearts became more and more intense, but they did not dare to urge it at this time.

Just following, they noticed that the emperor's face suddenly showed joy, while King Guanghan quickly calmed down, but King Ganling's expression remained the same, even looking very ugly and gloomy.

Could it be...

Seeing these subtle changes in expressions, Zhang Ying suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Unexpectedly, after the two princes looked at each other, they did not immediately announce the contents of the memorial, but turned to face the emperor.

King Guanghan said: "Your Majesty, the current situation is complicated and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. It is not appropriate to make an immediate decision. It is better to wait for the military information to be verified before saying anything else." His voice was calm, with a hint of calmness.

King Ganling said: "Yes, this matter is too strange and goes against common sense. Moreover, there is no corresponding word from King Jiangdu who is closest to Jizhou. Maybe there is a reason for it, so it should not be believed easily."

Liu Dai's face was full of confusion. He was shocked and happy, doubtful and excited. His mind was also a mess and it was difficult to make a decision for the time being. Hearing this, he nodded and dismissed the imperial meeting.

The meeting was called in a hurry, even at the expense of interrupting the court meeting, and there were many quarrels during the period, which led to the hostility between the two kings, but in the end, it was anticlimactic, and the officials were dispersed without saying a word.

Who wouldn't be curious and worried about such a drastic turn of events?

So after the imperial meeting dispersed, all the ministers who returned to their respective residences were not idle, and immediately sent people out to investigate.

They were more or less related in the palace and had friendship with each other. When one of them got information, it immediately spread, and the whole of Luoyang became silent.

"Wang Jun was defeated and everyone was captured alive?" Even Chen Zhi's uncle Chen Yong found it incredible when he heard the news. "Could it be Wang Jun's offensive words?" Old Chen thought about it, I couldn't confirm it, but I still hoped it was true. I just couldn't wait for the court's certification, so I sent someone over to verify it.

On the other side, the same is true for Yang Jie of the Yang Mansion. He was originally worried about his daughter's safety, but now he was shocked by the news of Chen Zhi's victory. He didn't know whether it was true or not. In the end, it was not information, but panic. I was afraid that Wang Jun was trying to spread suspicion and use false news to deceive the court and delay time.

"My son-in-law and daughter are both from high-ranking families, and even the son-in-law himself is a high-class person. Wang Jun will either not attack such a person, and once he does, he will definitely fight to the death. Don't forget that he has already killed someone. He was caught and sent to the court to investigate, so he just came here and said this, giving false news!"

Thinking of this, Yang Jie couldn't sit still and quickly sent people to the north, hoping to find out the situation.

In contrast, Zhang Ying, the minister, got more information after some investigation. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. It was difficult to express the anxiety in his heart!

"Why is Wang Jun so reluctant to fight? They were immediately defeated and everyone was arrested!"

Listening to his father's complaints, his son Zhang Yang also echoed: "This Wang Jun is really useless. He had a lot of airs before, but who knew he was just an embroidered pillow!"

Snapped!
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the face by Zhang Ying, and Zhang Ying scolded him: "What are you talking about? If Wang Jun is really a waste, the court can't do anything to him? Didn't you say, I'll wait for you Even worse than trash?”

Zhang Yang was startled, quickly apologized, and then cautiously comforted him: "Even if this is true, no matter how powerful Chen Zhi is, he is still arrogant on the border. Let's stay in Luoyang safely and have the power." Central Committee, do you still need to be afraid of him? If there is a chance in the future, give him a few names in the name of the imperial court, and he will be able to handle it when he comes to the capital."

Zhang Ying raised his head and glanced at his son, with an expression on his face: "This is fair enough. It shows that you are still making progress. You know that in the Han Dynasty, a noble family is at the center, which is the true path to Qingyun. No matter how tyrannical or tyrannical Wang Jun and his ilk are, The local local bully, even if Wang Jun is replaced by Chen Zhi, is nothing more than that. What we need to worry about now is the rise of Chen Zhi in the border area. The Yang family and Chen family will inevitably gain power in the court. Today I have to talk too much for some reason, almost talking to the two families. It’s a shame, but there are some hidden dangers. You have to talk to King Ganling. You arrange for someone to send a greeting card!"

Zhang Yang took the order and left.

But on the other side, Prince Ganling, who was being talked about by the Zhang family and his son, looked livid as he looked at a copied letter in his hand.

The title of this letter is none other than Liu Hui, the king of Jiangdu.

"I didn't expect Liu Hui to write a statement so soon, saying that the previous memorial was a moment of confusion and abolished the public for personal reasons. In fact, the battle of Youzhou was initiated by Wang Jun, and the general had already died. Become a prisoner!"

As he watched, he couldn't control himself, crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it on the ground.

"The king of Jiangdu is not the one who is willing to suffer. Since he wrote again to make up for his previous words, it proves that Wang Jun's defeat and capture are absolutely true! This is troublesome. Today I wanted to win over the Yang family and the Chen family, but in the end instead To win over Zhang Ying, I thought I could get the help of Shang Shutai, but in the end, Chen Zhi won, and the Yang family and Chen family would definitely prosper. If Liu Chu seized the opportunity, wouldn't he use it to make a fuss and oppress me? Maybe it would be like this Like the previous kings, they left the capital sadly!"

This power struggle is inherently difficult to conclude. If you are not careful, you may fall short of your success, especially in matters involving military and political affairs. If you win over the wrong target, the outcome may be fatal, directly ruining a good situation!
Thinking of this, a gleam flashed in his eyes, becoming more and more sinister.

"How can it be like this! How can it be like this!"

Anxiously, he paced back and forth, and finally seemed to have made up his mind!

"It doesn't matter, I don't have the advantage in the first place. If I have to go back and forth with him, Liu Chu, and gradually fall into the disadvantage, then I might as well not do anything else and just do something big! I should also imitate the scene when Liu Chu expelled the King of East China Sea!"

Thinking of this, King Ganling's eyes were full of viciousness, but he was not impatient. Instead, he summoned his servants and asked him to invite the other two clan members in Luoyang over, saying that they had something to discuss.

The man quickly left with the order.

Outside the house, the sky was getting dark, and the clouds slowly rose and spread across the sky, shrouding the entire city of Luoyang in shadow, as if something was brewing.
