The devil is coming

Chapter 982 Coup
dry country,
Yuxu Palace;
This is a Taoist palace belonging to the royal family located in the southwest corner of Shangjing City.
It was built during the Renzong Dynasty of the Qian Dynasty. 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, collectively ignored the issue of how much money it would cost to build such a large Taoist palace.
After the Yan army broke through Shangjing City, they did not indulge in fighting too much. Instead, they chose to hurriedly transfer their troops to support the prince who used his body as a bait. Therefore, many places around Shangjing City did not encounter the ravages of the Yan people.
Yuxu Palace is also well preserved;
now,
There lived a person here. His status was extremely noble, and he was truly one person below ten thousand people.
but,
It was only once.
Zhao Mugou, who was dressed in the prince's uniform, was marching in the deep garden under the leadership of two eunuchs.
at last,
In a courtyard where there were withered leaves, I saw His Royal Highness sitting there in white.
The prince looked a little sluggish, but he was in good spirits and had no physical problems. Five years of confinement did not make him lose weight, but gained a lot of weight.
After the two eunuchs led the way, they quietly retreated, leaving the place to the two men named Zhao.
"Why do you want to come 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 did not see the food and excitedly rushed towards him. Judging from the changes in his form, he knew that he had no shortage of fine clothes and food here.
The reason why she was dressed casually was that she was too lazy to tidy herself up when she could only walk at night and couldn't show anyone.
Not only do you eat well here, but they also send women to the prince regularly.
In the past five years, the prince has given birth to two more royal grandchildren and two more royal daughters for the Zhao family.
However, the concubine could only stay overnight at night, and would be sent in wrapped in a quilt by the eunuch, and would be taken out again after dawn, and the children she gave birth to would not be raised here.
This is actually a standard Tianjia confinement.
Imprison your freedom, but it is only freedom.
In the eyes of Shengdou Xiaomin, this is still a day that is hard to come by in dreams.
Zhao Mugou set out the food and wine and sat on the floor.
He has lost his youthful youthfulness, grown a beard, and looks handsome and steady.
The prince leaned forward and stared at Zhao Mugou carefully.
Road:
"Look at you, then look at me, haha."
Zhao Mugou did not invite the prince to eat, but picked up the wine glass himself, took a sip, picked up a piece of dried tofu with chopsticks, and put it into his mouth.
"Why don't you speak?" the prince asked.
"I'm from outside." Zhao Mugou put down his chopsticks, "It's up to you to ask me."
"What should I ask you?"
"random."
The prince pursed his lips and said, "Father, are you okay?"
"The body of an official is not very good, but it is not bad either."
Four years ago, the officials 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 officials who perform deeds for the souls of the people in Beijing who died under Yango butcher's knife in order to help them transcend;
However, there is also a theory that the reason why Shangjing was broken into by Yangou was the result of the incompetence of the officials, so the officials had no face to face the city of Shangjing;
In the past two years, there have been rumors of wanting to move the capital.
Therefore, the current situation of Daqian is quite ridiculous.
The emperor and the prince did not live in the palace in the capital, but in Taoist temples in the east and west corners.
"Tell me, when can I leave?"
Faced with 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 I am the prince!"
"Do you still think you are a prince, my highness?"
"you……"
"Do you think the official family will pass on a great treasure to a prince who once gave himself a posthumous title with the word 'Li' in it?"
"you……"
"Everyone knows that you have no chance, but keeping you will keep the crown prince's position open, so that the officials will no longer be worried.
The foundation of the country is there, but it is not there. In Daqian, there is no prince, only the official family.
This is the official arrangement and idea.
My ministers, even if I want to make suggestions to build the foundation of our country, I cannot avoid you;
However, we can't let the ministers suggest that we depose you first...or kill you first, right?
This is a dead knot, it has been stuck here, and this is also your role. "
"Is this why you came here today to talk to me about this?"
Zhao Mugou shook his head and said:
"of course not."
"Tell me what your purpose is."
"I want to save you."
"You said it yourself just now, as soon as I leave, I will die unless..."
"That's unless." Zhao Mugou said bluntly.
"Hehehe..." The prince laughed and said in disbelief, "The way of heaven has changed. The lineage of Emperor Taizu, who has been a pig for nearly a hundred years, actually stood up again?"
Zhao Mugou was not angry, but looked at the prince calmly:
"You have no other choice."
"Do you think I would foolishly give you this opportunity? This dragon chair belongs to my family! I won't allow your bloodline to get involved, you, dream!"
"It's your family, but it's not yours. If we all have this awareness, how could there be so many cases of fighting for the throne in the Tian family throughout the ages?"
Zhao Mugou clapped his hands,
"I'm not here today to convince you. If you don't agree, it doesn't matter. Then I'll leave."
Zhao Mugou turned around and walked out.
The prince suddenly spoke;
"when!"
Zhao Mugou stopped and said, "Today."
"Today?" The prince looked ridiculous, "In such a hurry?"
Zhao Mugou shook his head slightly: "I have been preparing for a long time."
"Why did you inform me today?"
"Because you are really not important at all."
"Aren't you afraid that I will not agree?"
"You are just a puppet and a card. In the past ten years, the Yan people have repeatedly violated the country, and our great cadres have been repeatedly frustrated. It is even more painful that the country's capital has been destroyed. Your Majesty's reputation in the government and the public has long been in jeopardy;
Otherwise, I wouldn't have used this trick to keep you hanging here.
And you, in the eyes of the great Confucians, have committed the great fallacy of filial piety, but you have complied with the wishes of many people. It seems better to change to an official position.
perhaps,
It can bring order out of chaos, right?
However, it doesn’t matter if you’re not here, your brother, King Kang, is already waiting. "
"I'm going, I'm going with you." The prince stood up and walked over.
"Then follow."
Zhao Mugou walked in front,
The prince followed;
First, he saw the two eunuchs who had led the way in earlier, lying motionless on the roadside;
Continuing outside, you can see many guards who were killed. Their bodies were lying on both sides, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
at last,
The prince followed Zhao Mugou out of the Yuxu Palace;
Outside, stood a group of Forbidden Army soldiers.
These forbidden troops were filled with murderous aura, which was completely different from the former imperial troops in the capital in the eyes of the prince.
"I have one more thing to ask you." The prince leaned close to Zhao Mugou and whispered, "Aren't you afraid of failure and letting me cause civil strife and give the Yan people an opportunity?"
"I would have been worried before, but now I am not."
"Why?"
"The second round of national war broke out in Yanchu."
"That's a good opportunity. The snipe and the clam in Yanchu are competing with each other and there is no time for me to do it. We are just right..."
"I just got the news that the Chu State was defeated and hundreds of thousands of elite troops were lost in Shanggu County."
"..." Prince.
Zhao Mugou turned his face, looked at the prince, and said:
"So, no matter what I do at this time, it doesn't matter. Because, I am doing great things and have reached a situation where nothing can be done wrong."
Zhao Mugou took two steps forward.
shouted to the Imperial Guards soldiers in front of him;
"We sincerely welcome His Highness the Crown Prince to return to court!"
These imperial soldiers knelt down and shouted in unison:
"We sincerely welcome His Highness the Crown Prince to return to court!"
……
"Xundao, Zizhan, I'm ashamed of my face. I'm an old man. I don't have much time left, and I've wasted your time."
Yao Zizhan stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to gently press the quilt for Mr. Han, and said: "Looking at what you said, it stands to reason that you are our senior, and we deserve it."
Li Xundao also spoke: "State affairs cannot be separated from my husband."
Mr. Han shook his head and laughed at himself:
"In recent years, I have struggled to speak clearly. If I sit here for a while, I will feel sleepy. This brain is sometimes sober and sometimes confused. How can I cope with state affairs?"
Yao Zizhan said hurriedly: "You always stop there, you don't need to say anything, we all feel at ease."
That year, the Yan people attacked Qian for the first time and fought all the way to the capital city. The government and the public were shocked. The officials took this opportunity to clear out all the old ministers who had been there during the Renzong period, and then began a series of actions. reform;
But who would have known that when the reform was in full swing, during the Three Kingdoms War, the Yan army captured Shangjing.
This suddenly caused the old forces of the Qian Kingdom to start a crazy counterattack. The counterattack was so powerful that even the officials had to choose to avoid the edge for the time being;
Mr. Han is one of the representatives of the old forces. In recent years, because of his presence, conflicts have been suppressed.
Li Xundao said: "I just got the news that the Chu people were defeated. They were defeated miserably. If what I expected is true, the Yan people will soon target me.
For the current plan, there is no other way but to respond to foreign enemies with the same enemy. "
Mr. Han nodded and said:
"What Xun Dao said is absolutely true. Now is the time to unite as one."
Li Xundao sighed and said, "Does it have to be like this?"
A smile appeared on Xianggong Han's old face:
"You have to give an explanation to the people of the world, don't you? You have to give it to the people of the world, don't you see hope?"
Yao Zizhan looked at Li Xundao and Han Xianggong with some suspicion. He didn't understand.
Li Xundao said again: "You know, officials are not stupid kings. Is it fair to the officials to do this?"
Mr. Han’s eye bags drooped a bit.
This veteran who came from the Renzong Dynasty said directly:
"Emperor Renzong was not a benevolent king, but he got the word 'Ren' and a reputation as a Qingshi. Is this fair?"
Yao Zizhan's eyes widened. This great literary sage suddenly didn't even dare to take a deep 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 failure in the Northern Expedition broke the backbone of my military career. When the current officials were in power, they suffered from repeated national calamities and were deceived by swallows and dogs.
This great empire was conquered by Emperor Taizu. Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne as the emperor's younger brother. The reason was that even the people in the capital of Guizhou did not believe in the nonsense that brothers and sisters respect each other, and that brothers will eventually succeed to each other.
Since Emperor Taizong's lineage cannot cure the country, then return this chair to Emperor Taizu's lineage.
True to origin,
It also gives people all over the world a new hope. "
"You are crazy, you are crazy!!!"
Yao Zizhan shouted and rushed out of the house, but when he just crossed the threshold, he saw the densely packed soldiers standing in the yard outside. The place was already completely surrounded.
"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.
Xianggong Han looked at Yao Zizhan who was anxious there and said with a smile:
"You have to find the way by yourself."
"You knew it a long time ago?" Yao Zizhan looked at Li Xundao in disbelief, "You knew it a long time ago!"
Li Xundao nodded.
"Then why did you..."
Mr. Han Xianggong replied for Li Xundao:
"Looking for a way to go down the mountain is not for me to be an official, but for... I am a great official."
For Li Xundao, if he had to replace an official to unite many forces...then change him.
Comparatively speaking, starting a civil war at this time is the most stupid behavior. The Yan people may wake up laughing in their dreams.
It can only be said that these people and forces chose the best time to launch their attack.
Yao Zizhan sat down in despair. This literary sage of the Qian Kingdom actually lacked a lot of enthusiasm in terms of politics and practical work. He was good at two things, one was poetry and the other was life.
The intrigues in officialdom were 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.
Mr. Han looked at Yao Zizhan,
road;
"Zizhan..."
"Alas." Before Mr. Han could finish speaking, Yao Zizhan sighed and said:
"I will draft an edict for Prince Rui's accession to the throne."
Xianggong Han reminded: "The one who plans the prince first."
Yao Zizhan rolled his eyes and said, "Why take off your pants and fart?"
Xianggong Han said with a smile: "Because my heart will feel clean."
Li Xundao held the cup in his hand,
asked:
"Who did your army choose?"
A coup would definitely require the mobilization of the military;
Moreover, outside the Qingxin Pavilion of the official family, there is an army loyal to the official family that has been protecting the official family.
There was no need to hide it at this time. Mr. Han said directly:
"Zhong Tianlang."
Yao Zizhan was shocked: "He...how dare he!"
Zhong Tianlang was the prince-in-law of the dynasty, and he was appreciated, trusted and promoted by the officials. Now he is...
Mr. Han Xianggong said unconcernedly:
"So, it's not all wrong to emphasize culture over martial arts. Those generals Qiu Ba are just feeding unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, haha."
Speaking of which,
Xianggong Han suddenly clenched his fist.
Hit the bedside,
He himself also caused a series of coughs,
But despite this, he still raised his voice and cursed:
"The regent of Yan State is a complete alien!"
Li Xundao corrected him: "He is a weirdo."
The weird thing here is praise.
Yao Zizhan sighed: "If that brother Zheng is willing to rebel, then I am willing to write a hundred poems in praise of him."
Li Xundao smiled and said: "I have to say that my ability to write poetry is worse than yours, but my ambition is not that. This is what you said yourself.
Back then, we were hoping that the Yan people’s Zhenbeihou would rebel, but he didn’t;
Later, we hoped that King Jingnan of the Yan people would rebel, but in the end he did not;
Now, we have to hope that the regent of the Yan people will rebel... As a result, he just commanded a large army and defeated the Chu State.
Always looking forward to civil strife in others,
Looking forward to looking forward to,
Looking forward to the destruction of the country.
sometimes,
I'm thinking about it myself,
Is it possible that this Yan man is really destined to be a man of great talents from generation to generation, and he is also the kind of outstanding person who is dedicated to serving the country? "
at this time,
Mr. Han, who was already a little tired, muttered:
"As long as Mu Gou sits on the dragon throne, everything will be fine."
