Chapter 589: The Yihuo matter, deposing the emperor, is not that easy to do
In front of Chaoyang Gate.
Gongsun Zhao and Ding Run, who were dressed in disguise, slowed down and looked at the broken body hanging on the city gate.
In the October weather, Wuwozi's body still emitted a strong stench even after being processed, but the people coming and going did not dislike it. Many people from other states even came to watch and applaud.
When the two met, they couldn't help but express emotion.
Ding Run took the lead and said: "Before his death, the old man also talked about how to solve the worry-free cave. At that time, I thought it was impossible to destroy this den of thieves. I didn't expect that just a few years later, you would do it..."
Gongsun Zhao nodded: "If I can get rid of this century-old cancer, even if I don't succeed in being a judge, it is still worth it."
Ding Run's ears twitched, listening to the conversations around him, and his brows moved slightly: "The people have not forgotten you, they are all saying good things about you... It turns out that Lin Chong killed this thief, and you wiped it out within three days.
Does Wuyou Cave need Lin Chong’s help?”
Seeing that he had seen it, Gongsun Zhao naturally no longer concealed it: "It's true. The elimination of Wuyou Cave was actually all down to the Lin family brother. It was him who provided the charges against Tie Xue Lou, so that I could ban those who colluded with Wuyou Cave."
After that, he was the one who contacted all parties and organized the manpower. I was the main contributor, and I really deserve it!"
Ding Runqi asked: "Then why did he do this? Afraid of revenge by the fleeing thief leader?"
Gongsun Zhao showed admiration: "My brother is low-key and pragmatic. He is indifferent to fame and fortune. He is not interested in being an official. He is also willing to stand up for the people. He is really a hero."
Ding Run squeaked: "Can't you see that with your temper, you still respect him so much, but such a capable person would be indifferent to fame and wealth, without desires or desires? I don't believe it anyway!"
After the two of them walked through the busy city and came to a slightly remote path, he whispered: "You and I alone are not enough for this matter. Why don't you go to Lin Erlang to discuss it? Since he is willing to stand up for the people, he also
You should know what kind of virtue the person sitting on the Dragon Throne is, so that he should help in such great deeds!"
Gongsun Zhao shook his head decisively: "You and I have nothing to worry about, but my brother has a whole family, how can he be affected?"
Ding Run curled his lips and didn't say much on the surface. After the two of them parted as planned, they both muttered: "How pedantic! How can you restrain your hands when doing such a big thing? If you don't go, I will!"
…
On the martial arts training ground.
Not to mention Lu Junyi, Suo Chao was stimulated, Hua Rong practiced bow stringing, and even Shi Qian, who was thin and frail, was left to practice martial arts.
Li Yan ignored the affairs of the court for the time being, thinking too much was useless, and started practicing. When Ding Run jumped outside the Lin family's backyard, he saw this passionate scene.
He first looked at Lu Junyi and Suo Chao. They had competed several times before and were well aware of each other's martial arts skills. Then he looked at Hua Rong's archery skills and Shi Qian's lightness kung fu, and he became more and more certain in his heart: "These are people who can do great things."
, the current indifference to fame and fortune is just to seek a higher position in the future, it is time to recruit him into the group! "
Seeing a burly man suddenly jump over the wall and everyone looked at him, Lu Junyi immediately showed eagerness to try: "Brother, this man is Judge Gongsun's senior brother, I'm here to fight him."
Li Yan said: "The visitor is a guest, so don't be nervous... Mr. Ding, why are you here?"
Ding Run clasped his fists and began to talk about the situation: "I have heard about Lin Erlang's name for a long time, and when I first entered the city, I heard that you killed the leader of the bandits in Wuyou Cave. I admire you even more, and I came here to pay you a visit!"
Li Yan cupped his fists and returned the courtesy: "Please invite Mr. Ding to come in and have a cup of tea."
Ding Run smiled and said: "That's what I meant, sorry to bother you!"
Li Yan let others continue to practice martial arts, and he took Ding Run into the room where he was waiting for guests: "I wonder if Judge Gongsun is okay?"
Ding Run said: "My junior brother Lin Erlang must also know that he is very stubborn. He wanted to go home to visit his relatives before, but when he heard that the Queen Mother was assassinated, he ran back to find out the truth."
Li Yan did not comment on the proposal of visiting relatives, and said calmly: "When the Queen Mother was assassinated, I was also outside the Daxiangguo Temple and killed the leader of the thieves who were about to escape into Wuyou Cave. The matter has come to an end, as Judge Gongsun said.
What does the truth mean?"
Ding Run leaned forward slightly, with a scorching gaze in his bell-like eyes: "Lin Erlang is also a consultant to the Kaifeng government office. When my junior brother was away, thanks to you, there was something fishy about this matter. Lin Erlang must have
Are you aware of it too?"
Li Yan shook his head slightly: "It's hard to talk about things in the palace."
"It seems that your Excellency also knows that something is indeed wrong with this matter..."
Ding Run smiled, stood up and looked around. There were no servants coming and going. He returned to his seat and whispered: "What if the person behind the assassination of the Queen Mother is someone in the palace?"
Li Yan's expression became solemn and he looked at him steadily: "Not to mention whether what you said is true or false, since you have this idea, you and Judge Gongsun have returned to Bianjing. What are your next plans?"
Ding Run rolled his eyes and his voice became deeper: "Prince Jian is the late emperor's brother and sister. He is kind, filial and gentle, and can be a wise king."
Li Yan: "..."
Good guys, you two want to abolish Li Li? He has never thought about it!
Seeing that he was just silent but not panicked, Ding Run was convinced and continued to seduce: "Lin Erlang doesn't believe it, just listen to a story, but if it succeeds, it will be a great achievement from Conglong!"
Li Yan shook his head secretly, thought for a while and said: "Speaking of stories, I also thought of some things about Huo Guang, a powerful official in the former Han Dynasty. This man imitated Yin Yin of the Yin Shang Dynasty and abolished the emperor. Later generations collectively called him 'Yin'."
Huo' and Yin Yin of the Yin and Shang Dynasties are too far away. Let's not talk about it for the moment. Is Mr. Ding willing to hear about Huo Guang's achievements in the Han Dynasty?"
Ding Run understood that this was a metaphor for the past and said with a smile: "Of course I am willing, please Lin Erlang to elaborate."
Li Yandao: "Although Huo Guang was a powerful official and carried out the emperor's dethronement and establishment, he was the first of the eleven meritorious officials of Qilin Pavilion. He also had a good reputation in history and was called a model civil servant."
"It's actually because this person is very capable and cautious in doing things. He served Emperor Wu of the Zuo Han Dynasty for more than 20 years and has never made any mistakes. In terms of his attitude towards the East Palace, he did not take sides as a close minister. He was obviously a guard.
The relatives of the clan have no connection with Prince Wei Liu Zhi, which also laid the foundation for his later survival in the witchcraft disaster."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The witchcraft disaster was so tragic. Prince Liu Zhi and the Wei family were massacred. Huo Guang was lucky to be able to survive, but he was also affected.
, his power was divided up by other ministers, but Huo Guang was not impatient, kept a low profile, was patient, and was diligent in his work. He regained the trust of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and finally became the auxiliary minister in the imperial edict."
"During this process, those ministers who divided his power were cut in half, fled, and those who participated in the witchcraft rebellion were caught and sent to the execution ground. However, they were justified and did not cause any criticism from the government and the public.
…”
Ding Run didn't understand at first, why didn't he just talk about Huo Guang's abolishment of Li? He started with these, and gradually he realized that this was actually comparing Huo Guang and Zhang Dun.
The same revenge, but the two methods were very different. Huo Guangrun took revenge silently, while Zhang Dun took revenge boldly. He completely purged the old party, deprived him of official positions, honors and favors, and even wanted to depose the Empress Dowager.
Li Yan finished talking about the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and then talked about how Huo Guang defeated other auxiliary ministers during the period of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, and finally talked about the abolition: "Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty died young and there was no suitable successor.
To inherit the throne, Huo Guang followed the Queen Mother’s advice and chose Liu He, King of Changyi, to inherit the throne.”
"However, Liu He, like Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, belongs to the lineage of Mrs. Li. He is the initiator of the witchcraft disaster and the enemy of Huo Guang. He assisted Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty because of the edict of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He really had no choice.
When it comes to Liu He, the situation is already different."
"This powerful Sima and general counted more than 1,100 crimes committed by King Changyi on the 27th day after he ascended the throne. He asked the Queen Mother to issue an edict to depose Liu He from the throne and put Liu He on the throne.
Liu Zheng, the grandson of Prince Wei Liu Zhi, has died of illness. As the new heir, he will inherit the throne of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty."
"Since then, the great revenge of the past has been avenged. All the enemies in the witchcraft disaster have been killed, and the imperial power has been taken back from Mrs. Li's lineage and returned to the hands of Prince Wei Liu Ju's lineage."
Li Yan said this and concluded: "Of course, we no longer know what the ancients thought more than a thousand years ago. This analysis is probably one-sided and is only for reference. What does Ding Gongshi think?"
Ding Run rubbed his chin: "I generally understand that Zhang Xianggong is not a person like Huo Guang. When he gained power, he relied on extensive involvement and numerous opponents. The prestige of Huo Guang's three dynasties is far less than that of Huo Guang, who always sticks to his word."
"What's more, when the Queen Mother selected King Duan, Mr. Zhang commented that 'King Duan is frivolous and cannot rule the world.' If Mr. Zhang were to come forward at this time, many ministers would surely suspect that he was deliberately slandering in order to maintain his power and status.
An official plotting to assassinate the Queen Mother."
"Once the incident fails, the blame for plotting to assassinate the Queen Mother may be directly placed on Xianggong Zhang."
Li Yan nodded secretly. Both of these brothers are smart people. Although their vision is inevitably limited, they can tell the truth.
Ding Run clicked his tongue: "I should have thought of it earlier. There are endless disputes between the parties in the court. If one party agrees, the other party will definitely oppose it. Even if the Queen Mother makes up her mind about abolishing the establishment, the ministers in the court will still have a huge quarrel. In the end, it will be dragged out until
The death of the Queen Mother will definitely end the matter!"
He originally had no confidence in his heart, but he was eager to change his situation, so he was unwilling to miss any opportunity. Now that he understood that Prime Minister Zhang Dun could not count on him, he couldn't help but retreat: "Then I will not participate in this matter.
It's better to have an official position than to live on the run, but my junior brother..."
Li Yan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I admire Judge Gongsun's indomitable spirit. He does this for the sake of justice and justice, and he has the belief that he will not regret it even if he escapes death. All we can do is to arrange it for him
A way out after failure."
Ding Run was a little moved and clasped his fists sincerely: "Now I know why my junior brother respects Lin Erlang so much. I admire him! I admire him!" (To be continued)
