The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 697
And Zhuge Liang and Dong He from General Zuo's Mansion returned to General Zuo's Mansion, and immediately sent people to General Zuo, Ma Chao, Marquis of Duting, Huang Zhong, Marquis of Guan Nei, General Mi Zhu, and Bing Zhong, who were staying in Chengdu. General Sun Qian, General Zhaode Jianyong, General Zhaowen Yiji and others passed on the news of Liu Chan and also gave suggestions.Please everyone, when necessary, write a letter to the King of Hanzhong to speak for the eldest son Liu Chan.

Among them, the role of the last four, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and Yi Ji, is the most critical.Although they are not in charge now, and most of them are idlers, these four people are all Liu Bei's old courtiers. They followed Liu Bei to travel all over the country, and they have a high status in his mind, and their words are very important.Even Mi Zhu, the general of Anhan, had a higher status than Zhuge Liang.

In addition, these four people have a very close relationship with Liu Chan, and they will definitely speak for the prince.

As for Huang Zhong, this old general is also easy to talk, it's just a matter of one sentence.

As for the left general Ma Chao, this person has always been idle, and his relationship with the son is mediocre.But he should also give Liu Bei and even General Zuo's house face, so it shouldn't be a big problem to ask him to come forward.

As for Zhang Fei, one of the three sworn brothers in Taoyuan, his seal of speech for Liu Chan is now about to be sent to Chengdu following Liu Chan's two letters.

But at this time General Zuo's mansion did not invite the crown prince Xu Jing to come forward.This old gentleman should be used as a backup. If something unexpected happens later, it will be the time for the highest-ranking scribe to come forward.

Therefore, the high-ranking officials invited by General Zuo's mansion were all carefully considered.

As the department directly under Liu Bei, Shangshutai is not yet suitable for direct participation.In fact, they are the most important departments, but they have the right to directly advise Liu Bei on how to deal with this incident.Therefore, Shangshutai must wait quietly first.Waiting for everyone to write a book one after another when the time comes.

People from the support faction were dispatched one after another, and of course the opposition faction soon got the news, so it was naturally impossible to be content with being quiet.Xu Jing's grandson, Chen Zhi, first got the confirmation that Liu Chan ordered Guan Suo to send troops to kill Liu Feng.

Chen Yi was dismissed and investigated by Liu Chan together with Ma Di because of his dereliction of duty, and he declared that he would never be hired, so he formed a grudge with Liu Chan.However, Liu Chan's statement is not valid.Chen Zhi stayed at home for a period of time, and after taking refuge in Queen Wu, and after some activities of Queen Wu, Chen Zhi got a promotion and was appointed Cao Lang, so he could participate in the personnel management of the Shu Han.

Therefore, Chen Zhi certainly would not let go of this opportunity.He immediately notified Captain Liao Li of Changshui, and after the two met, they discussed together.Then, he sent someone to inform Queen Wu Wu Cheng of the news.

In fact, these two people can be regarded as well-educated people, especially Liao Li, who is said to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. It's just that they are a bit underappreciated now.

Therefore, he immediately and keenly realized that Guan Suo's killing of Liu Feng would bring the worst result to his son Liu Chan, and it should be impossible for his son to bear the disaster of killing himself.However, this matter definitely has a lot of room for maneuver on their side.

At least, it will make the son lose some of his hearts, and Queen Wu can take the opportunity to take it back; second, they can use this opportunity to attack the growing power of the son Liu Chan; third, as this incident The occurrence of this incident will inevitably start to cause a certain amount of pressure on some people who originally wanted to stay out of the struggle between Queen Wu and the eldest son Liu Chan.When there is pressure, there is impetus. The eldest son Liu Chan is pushing these people to Queen Wu's side.

For the third point, Chen Zhi and Liao Li selected the two most likely candidates as quickly as possible: Wu Yi, the general who defended the army against rebellion, and Peng Yi, the governor of Yizhou.

Wu Yi is also the elder brother of Queen Wu and Wu Cheng, and has always been loved by Liu Bei.But this person is relatively self-aware, and his temperament is relatively calm, so he generally does not have too deep contacts with others.He had already seen clearly the strength of the eldest son Liu Chan, and he had always opposed Wu Cheng's continued struggle with Liu Chan.When the opposition failed, he simply did not support Wu Cheng at all, and became a very strange and unusual figure in the power struggle.

Now, Liu Chan has already started to attack his elder brother Liu Feng, which sent a signal to Wu Yi invisibly: the son is ruthless, and since he can kill his brothers, then after he succeeds in the future, it is naturally impossible for Queen Wu How could Wu Yi, who survived the disaster and was a close relative to Queen Wu, be forgiven?
Wu Yi's pressure must have come from this.

Chen Zhi and Liao Li saw this clearly, so they were very sure that they could win Wu Yi over.In fact, Liao Li wanted to go to Queen Wu through Wu Yi's channel that day, but Wu Yi turned him away.However, the candidate to win over Wu Yi is definitely not either Chen Yihao or Liao Li.Queen Wu herself is the best candidate.

As for Yizhou Zhizhou engaged in Peng Yi, this is actually a talented person.It's a pity that this person's personality is almost exactly the same as Liao Li's, and he has a fatal problem: arrogance and arrogance.

A person with such a character, in such a dark place as the officialdom, will not be able to make a name for himself until he dies, and may even be killed because of it.

Therefore, Peng Yi has always been a troublemaker.When he was at Liu Zhang's place, he was slandered. As a result, Liu Zhang punished him with "claws" and demoted him to a slave.Later Liu Bei came and Peng Yi was liberated, so he restrained his temper a little bit, and had a period of good performance and low-key behavior.

However, as he became the governor of Yizhou Mu's subordinates, he began to feel nervous again, which aroused Zhuge Liang's resentment.

Therefore, under Zhuge Liang's suggestion, Liu Bei also discovered the faults in Peng Yi's body, and gradually alienated Peng Yi.There have been rumors circulating recently that Peng Yi is about to be demoted by the King of Hanzhong to Jiangyang as the prefect there.After receiving such news, an ambitious person like Peng Yi was of course very anxious.Therefore, if someone can come forward to help him now so that he can continue to stay in Chengdu as an official, he will definitely be grateful to Dade...

In addition, people like Peng Yi, who always thought they were morally obsessed with cleanliness, would definitely sneer at Liu Chan's "immoral" behavior this time.Therefore, the above two points should make it easy for the people on Queen Wu's side to pull Peng Yi into their camp.

Therefore, Chen Zhi immediately ran to Xu Jing's mansion, and told Xu Jing about the matter that the prince had sent Guan Suo to kill Liu Feng.Of course, Chen Zhi's intention was to persuade Xu Jing so that he would not speak up for the crown prince.

But Chen Zhi forgot one thing, Xu Jing's moral integrity has never been very firm, but he is a typical idiot.How could he accept Chen Zhi's persuasion?Now that the power of the son of the world is there, if others want to overthrow it, how easy is it?Therefore, Xu Jing's heart is actually toward Liu Chan.

After receiving the notification from Chen Zhi and Liao Li, Wu Cheng was really ecstatic.She had been expecting in her heart that after that kid Liu Chan went out, something would definitely happen.Now, she is really looking forward to it.So, after she glanced at Liu Yong who had already fallen asleep, a sneer appeared on her extremely beautiful face.Of course, the sneer was not for her son, she was looking at her infant son, but Liu Chan was in her mind.

So, Wu Cheng immediately called Huang Hao and Du Lang, the captain of the bodyguard, and asked them to prepare the carriage and follow her out of the mansion secretly to his elder brother Wu Yi's mansion.

It seems that Queen Wu has indeed accepted the suggestions of Chen Zhi and Liao Li.

Queen Wu's carriage was quickly prepared, and she secretly walked onto the streets of the city through the back door.They didn't walk very fast, their horseshoes trampled on the green bricks of the street in a disorderly and unhurried manner, the rhythm was like beating a bamboo pole slowly, the sound was not too loud, but it still pierced through the darkness. out a long distance.

Soon, Queen Wu's carriage stopped in front of Wu Yi's mansion.Du Lang knocked on the door, and the family members who came out to answer the door must have recognized Wu Cheng.When he saw Wu Cheng coming late at night, he was startled, subconsciously wanted to close the door, and immediately ran in to inform his master.But Du Lang's hand was already supporting the door, and with a little force, he used the door leaf to make the servant fall to the ground.

Therefore, Queen Wu didn't need anyone to pass through the door, and she stepped into the door with Huang Hao's support.

At this time, Wu Yi was already resting, and when he learned of Wu Cheng's arrival late at night, he was also taken aback immediately, with a vague premonition in his heart.He immediately got up from the bed and went to see Wu Cheng.

As soon as the two met, Wu Yi saw that Wu Cheng's eye circles were red with tears rolling in his eyes.

Seeing this, Wu Yi forgot to even salute, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Sister, what's the matter, why did you come to my house late at night?"

Queen Wu pretended to cry and told about Liu Chan.Wu Yi was taken aback when he heard it. There was such a grand message in Chengdu that it was impossible for him not to have heard of it.But now that the matter has been confirmed, he still feels very surprised. He never thought that the son would really attack Liu Feng.

Queen Wu saw her brother's complexion changed, and continued to cry: "Brother, the prince has always had a deep prejudice against me. If he succeeds in the future, he will definitely kill me and my children like Liu Feng. When the time comes, brother, your family, do you still want to be exonerated?"

With that said, Queen Wu suffered even more, which made Wu Yi even more irritable.

Half an hour later, Queen Wu came out of Wu Yi's mansion, with deep tears still on her face.But when he boarded the carriage and lowered the door curtain, a smug smile appeared on his face, and he didn't look sad at all!
Then the sound of horseshoes sounded again, accompanied by the dim light on the crossbar in front of the car, and soon disappeared in front of Wu Yi's mansion.
