Chapter 329: The Controversy of Abolishing and Establishing the Prince
Chapter 329: The battle to depose and establish the crown prince
But Princess Jingming Liu Ming really fell in love with the man in front of her, because he felt that Zuo Aoran was full of masculine charm, and he was always so kind to others and never discriminated against women, even the servants were the same.
Care, these all surprised and curious the princess who had been in the palace.
Love does not need any reason. A man's heart can be filled with all the women in the world, but a woman's heart can only be filled with one man. These should be the thoughts of most people!
Gently holding the beautiful Princess Jingming Liu Ming in his arms, Zuo Aoran felt her accelerated heartbeat, which was so clearly visible.
Time is like water, and time flies like a shuttle. Spring goes to winter and a new year comes. Zuo Aoran has lived in Luoyang, the capital for more than a year. The soldiers under his command have all taken up their posts under Zuo Aoran's kind words.
.
For more than a year, in addition to accompanying Princess Jingming Liu Ming, Zuo Aoran also went to the palace to secretly meet with Queen He Wan on the pretext of teaching the prince Bian. During this period, the brotherhood between Zuo Aoran and Liu Bian deepened.
Going a step further, this also strengthened Zuo Aoran's determination to support Liu Bian. There were many factors involved, but they did not include Queen He Wan's emotional factors. It was more about Zuo Aoran's love for Liu Bian.
brotherly love, love, and regret.
Queen He Wan reminded her brother He Jin many times that in order to have a good relationship with Zuo Aoran, he must be courteous at all times and must not offend Zuo Aoran. Whether Liu Bian can ascend the throne depends on him.
, He Jin had understood this a long time ago, so he was extremely humble towards Zuo Aoran, so the relationship between Zuo Aoran and He Jin was also very good.
Even the relationships with Han Bingzhou governor Ding Yuan, Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang, Shangshu Ding Guan, Shizhong Wang Yun, Situ Yuan Wei, Zhongjun Yuan Shao, Dian military captain Cao Cao, Chengmen captain Wu Qiong and others also disappeared.
They are very close. Among them, there are only two who have the best relationship. The first one is Wang Yun, because Zuo Aoran has always been interested in Diao Chan, and the other one is Wu Qiong, a former military commander from Chengmen School. The two people have the closest relationship.
Well, I left recently, and we often drank and talked.
Not to mention his two teachers, Lu Zhi and Cai Yong. Zuo Aoran has always respected his teachers. He went to his teacher's house several times a day. The main reason for going to Lu Zhi's house was to discuss some military strategies.
Things, and going to Cai Yong's house had another purpose. Later, Cai Yong also saw it and secretly agreed, but he had to write a poem every time he came, saying that it could promote Zuo Aoran's talent. In fact,
It’s just hard to make things difficult for Zuo Aoran, not to mention that Zuo Aoran’s poems are all excellent works. How could a great writer like Cai Yong not like them?!
Composing poetry is very difficult for Zuo Aoran, it is more difficult than going to the moon, but Mr. Lu Xun's borrowingism has made Zuo Aoran fully display it. Zuo Aoran can't write poems, but he can still copy poems, and Zuo Aoran can
They are all poems by famous writers, such as Li Bai's, Du Fu's, Li Shangyin's, and many whose names I don't know.
The poems are all excellent, and Zuo Aoran reads them with emotion. In this way, Cai Yan's obsession with Zuo Aoran has taken a big step forward. Now the two of them are just a layer of window paper. As long as someone pokes
If it is broken, a good thing will happen for the two of them, and Zuo Aoran will have another great beauty in his harem, and she is also a talented woman who is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Ling Emperor Liu Hong's health was getting worse day by day. Zuo Aoran also knew that his end was coming. Dong Zhuo entered the capital, the heroes were divided, and the world was in chaos. However, he repeatedly requested for external transfer, but was rejected by Ling Emperor.
Liu Hong refused. The reason for the refusal was very simple, just two words: "No!"
On this day, Zuo Aoran suddenly received a secret edict from Jian Shuo, inviting Zuo Aoran to come to the palace to meet him. Zuo Aoran was very confused as to why Ling Emperor Liu Hong did this, but he thought about it and took action.
Action, Zuo Aoran soon finished sorting things out, and was led into the palace by Jian Shuo.
He was not led to the imperial study, nor to the bedroom or side hall, but to a small and remote room. Ling Emperor Liu Hong had already laid down a banquet and was sitting in the chairman's seat in the middle.
, there is also a table on his left and right sides. There is a child sitting on the seat on the left, and the right is empty.
Zuo Aoran just bowed to Ling Emperor Liu Hong, and then sat on the right side. As soon as Zuo Aoran entered the room, he saw the face of Ling Emperor Liu Hong. His face was very bad, that was quite bad, his face was as pale as paper.
, the body has also lost a lot of weight, and is a little trembling. If it weren't for the lack of white powder in this era, Zuo Aoran would really think that Ling Emperor Liu Hong was an addict.
Picking up the wine cup and taking a sip of wine, Zuo Aoran asked: "Your Majesty, what important matter do you have summoned me to today? I would like to ask your Majesty to tell you clearly. I will sacrifice my life and blood to complete it for your Majesty." No matter what the occasion is.
Next, Zuo Aoran never called Ling Emperor Liu Hong: "Father!"
Ling Emperor Liu Hong originally wanted to take a sip of wine, but because of a violent cough, he had to put down the wine glass. He took a deep breath, suppressed the cough, and said: "I am your father-in-law, and you are
My son-in-law, why can't you call me father?"
Zuo Aoran said calmly: "Li'er is this Li'er, but the king is the king, and the minister is the minister. No matter what happens, things will remain the same, and the minister will never be able to replace the king." What Zuo Aoran said.
It is very meaningful. It not only explains the reason why he does not call himself Emperor Father, but also shows another point, that is, he is loyal to the Han Dynasty and will always protect the Han Dynasty.
Ling Emperor Liu Hong nodded, looked at the child on the left and said: "Xie'er! I haven't seen your imperial brother-in-law before I get up. Your brother-in-law is the most capable leader of troops in the Han Dynasty! He is also talented in literature.
It’s also first-class, it can be said that it is both civil and military!”
Liu Xie was born in the fourth year of Guanghe (181 AD). He is still young now. Although he is a little ignorant like a child, he is very sensible. His mother Wang Meiren died early, so he was adopted by Empress Dong. Regarding the death of Wang Meiren
, there are many kinds of rumors, the most common of which is the version that Queen He Wan was poisoned. In order to protect Liu Xie, Queen Dong took him with her, and Liu Xie's brother Liu Bian was five years older than him.
Liu Xie stood up, gave a neat salute to Zuo Aoran, and said: "Xie has long heard about the bravery of my brother-in-law. During the Yellow Turban period, two Langshan soldiers were defeated by 300 soldiers, Liangzhou was defeated by 100,000 soldiers, and in the battle of Youzhou
Ding Yuyang, set up a nine-bend chain formation, defeated the Wuhuan army of 150,000, forced the four Wuhuan tribes to consolidate and move inward to within the Great Wall. After a few battles, our Han Dynasty will be in danger of internal and external aggression. My brother-in-law is really our most powerful force.
In the Han Dynasty, the cypress and jade pillars on the sunny day frame the sea and the purple golden beams! Come, I will give you a toast to my brother-in-law."
Zuo Aoran did not pick up the wine glass. It was not because he was showing off, but because Zuo Aoran had something to say. He saw that Zuo Aoran was not sitting down at this moment, but stood up, walked to the middle, and did what he does every day.
When going to court, he knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times, and then knelt down and said: "I, Zuo Aoran, beg the emperor to take back his order, lest he make the wrong mistake and cause eternal hatred."
Regarding this situation, if Zuo Aoran couldn't figure out what was going on, he wouldn't have to mess around anymore. It was obvious that Ling Emperor Liu Hong knew that he was dying soon and wanted to pass the throne to his second son Liu Xie. Now this
The purpose is to let Zuo Aoran express his determination and ensure that Liu Xie ascends to the throne.
Ling Emperor Liu Hong chuckled and changed the subject: "Alas! Why does the prince-in-law need to give such a big gift? Why don't you get up quickly? Let's talk about anything slowly and talk about it slowly. There will always be a solution."
"I have the guts to ask Zuo Aoran. Your Majesty is going to abolish the elders and establish younger ones. If your Majesty doesn't give me an accurate answer, I will never get up." Zuo Aoran said.
Zuo Aoran's attitude and actions are already very obvious, that is, he does not agree with his deposing the crown prince Liu Bian and appointing the second son Liu Xie. However, in the heart of Ling Emperor Liu Hong, Zuo Aoran is trying to protect the crown prince Liu Xie of the East Palace.
Argued.
If you are too soft, you will have to be tough. Ling Emperor Liu Hong was afraid of the table and said angrily: "My intention is to abolish Liu Bian and make Liu Xie the crown prince. What? Zuo
Do you have any objections to your love? Don’t forget, I am the king and you are the minister. Can a minister go against the king’s will?!”
"Although His Royal Highness the Prince has no great merits and no major faults, he works hard every day and does not dare to give up sometimes. How can he just do away with it? Besides, it is rare in ancient and modern times to abolish the elder and establish the young. But who abolishes the elder and establishes the young?
If the young dynasty can survive forever, your majesty, please don’t forget that the second son of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty only has two sons left! Your majesty, please think twice!” Zuo Aoran urged.
"Bold!" Ling Emperor Liu Hong was really angry and roared: "You Zuo Aoran, my cultivation of you has been wasted, and you dare to compare me with that stupid, cruel and cruel Qin Er
Compared with the world, aren't you afraid of losing your head?!"
"Father, please rest your thunderous anger for a moment. Brother-in-law just made a slip of the tongue. Besides, we are all a family. Why can't we sit down and have a good talk? Isn't it the same whether my brother or I are the emperor?! It's still us in this world.
From the old Liu family, brother-in-law, are you right?" said the young Liu Xie.
When Zuo Aoran heard this, he was stunned. Originally, Zuo Aoran's words of praise for him just now were taken out by the child after he had memorized them for a long time, so he didn't pay much attention to them. But now, these words,
It was obvious that someone else had not taught him this, which meant that despite his young age, this child was a very scheming person. If he could not persuade the emperor, his life would be in danger.
Ling Emperor Liu Hong nodded approvingly and thought: "Wouldn't it be a waste for such a good boy not to be the emperor? If Xie'er ascends the throne, his father will feel at ease!" Liu Xie caught the approving look in his father Liu Hong's eyes and thought in his heart
He sneered slightly: "The time to avenge my mother is finally long, right? Zuo Aoran!? Since you left such a good emperor like me unprotected, you actually went to protect my extremely timid and cowardly brother, don't let that happen
If I have a chance, if I have a chance at all, I will be the first to do the surgery for you!"
The subtle changes in Liu Xie's eyes were observed by Zuo Aoran without noticing it. Just this point made Zuo Aoran feel cold in his heart. Is this the kind of eyes and scheming a child of this age should have?! The deep palace is really too dark.
Well, there are really too many overt and covert fights in the royal family. This child has been poisoned since he was a child.
"Your Majesty..." Zuo Aoran was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Ling Emperor Liu Hong: "Okay! I don't want to hear so many useless words from you. I have made up my mind to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones.
I just want to ask you one thing, are you standing on the same battlefield with me, or are you standing on the opposite side of me."
Zuo Aoran said without hesitation: "I will not stand on any side. I only stand on the side of justice and justice. However, I must fulfill my obligation as a minister. I again implore your majesty to take back my life. I must not waste my life."
Your Majesty's thought of raising a young child is likely to cause an irreversible situation, which is not only harmful to Your Majesty personally, but also harmful to the country of our Han Dynasty. It may even cause the country of our Han Dynasty to be shaken! Your Majesty, please
Think twice!”
"What does brother-in-law mean by this? Could it be that brother-in-law is foretelling that my country will soon change hands?" Liu Xie interjected from the side.
