Seeing Feng Liao asking about the key point, Gu Qian said directly without hesitation:
"My Majesty indeed intends to entrust the important matters after his death to the Marquis of Han. He even ordered the King of Luo to stay in Shangluo and not return to Luoyang. However, the generals and officials in Heluo have differences and it is difficult to make a decision..."
Order the King of Luo to guard Shangluo and not return to Luoyang?
This is not a simple entrustment, but a direct invitation to Han Qian to take over Luoyang!
Feng Liao, Gao Shao, Guo Rong and others were all present here. Although they were shocked, it was only then that they truly understood what the differences between the kings and ministers of the Liang Kingdom were and how big the differences would be.
Feng Liao looked at Han Qian and saw Han Qian's expression was gloomy. He thought it was Gu Qian and others who entered Lianyuan before them. Han Qian and his two ladies had already talked about this. It was hard to imagine that Han Qian and his two ladies were still there.
Able to stay calm.
In Tangyi, if Han Qian was unfortunately seriously ill at this time and wanted to take care of his affairs, Feng Liao thought that the first choice for him and other Tangyi generals would be to support the prince Han Wen, who was already clearly designated as his heir by Han Qian.
Xin became the new master in order to continue to gather the strength of the army and the people and maintain Tangyi.
Although Han Wenxin, the prince of Hou, was still only seven years old at this time, everyone in Tangyi still chose him as the first choice to support him as the new master. Thinking that Zhu Zhen, the king of Liangluo, would be twenty years old in the next year, and he had followed Liang in recent years.
Emperor Zhu Yu fought in the south and north, and accumulated a lot of experience in commanding troops and governing politics. At least in the eyes of the Liang generals, he was definitely a qualified candidate for the monarch.
If Emperor Zhu Yu of the Liang Dynasty died, why would Gu Qian, Zhu Youtong, Jing Hao, Jing Hao, Lei Jiuyuan and other important officials and generals of the Liang Kingdom abandon Zhu Zhen and willingly turn around to welcome an outsider who was once hostile to them?
The new leader of the Liang Kingdom?
Even Emperor Liang Zhu Yu could not have his own way with such a big matter.
Even if Emperor Zhu Yu of the Liang Dynasty left a posthumous edict, Lei Jiuyuan, Gu Qian, Chen Youtong, Zhu Juezhong, Jing Hao and other generals could completely ignore the edict and directly appoint Zhu Zhen as the new master.
It is impossible to say that they are traitors and rebels against the party.
There has never been complete loyalty without any opinion of one's own!
Han Qian had such a high authority in Tangyi, but he ordered that Empress Xu, Zhang Xinchun and others be sent directly to Jinling for trial. Han Laoshan and others even came to block the door.
Emperor Liang Zhu Yu did not pass the throne to his son, but asked his son and others to appoint outsiders who had nothing to do with the Liang Kingdom as the leader. How could there be no opposition within the Liang Dynasty? How could it be completely quelled by Zhu Yu's insistence on going his own way?
If Zhu Yu really insists on going his own way, I'm afraid it will cause greater and more uncontrollable chaos.
Of course, Emperor Zhu Yu of the Liang Dynasty could not just leave a posthumous edict and just treat the whole matter as settled. He had to determine many things in front of him. He had to see Lei Jiuyuan in front of him.
Qian, Chen Youtong, Jing Hao, Zhu Juezhong, Han Yuanqi, Chen Kun and other important officials of the Liang Kingdom must be willing to welcome Han Qian as the leader. Only then can he let go of everything with peace of mind. Only in this way can chaos be avoided to the greatest extent.
Gu Qian also did not shy away from the main differences among the generals of Liang State.
In addition to the deeply rooted tradition or righteousness of father's death and son's succession, and in addition to the chaos that may arise from not establishing King Luo in favor of Han Qian, the generals of the Liang Kingdom and the remaining descendants of the clan are also more worried.
Or their future status is not guaranteed, and the interests of the clan cannot be protected. They are even worried that Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang will be left alone at this time, and Zhu Zhen and other children of the Zhu clan will not die well in the future.
Even though Tangyi had done its best to assist Liang Guo in the past few years and greatly eliminated the opposition between the two sides, it still could not completely eliminate such worries.
Everyone has their own selfish thoughts. Gu Qian and Lei Jiuyuan did not shy away from stating this. However, they cannot be honest with each other at this time. The two completely different forces of Xiliang and Tangyi must be under the huge pressure of powerful enemies.
, this matter will even cause a huge backlash from Jinling, and it will be too difficult to successfully complete the integration.
Gu Qian also explained why they were stranded in the north of Chaozhou City and these geniuses came to Liyang to meet everyone.
Before October, Liang Emperor Zhu Yu felt that his body could no longer hold up for much longer, so he formally mentioned the matter to his close ministers. Gu Qian and others strongly opposed it. In the end, Liang Emperor Zhu Yu gave in and made an agreement with Gu Qian and others.
compromise:
Emperor Liang Zhu Yu and Gu Qian and others secretly escorted Empress Xu, Zhang Xinchun and others against the rebellion and entered Tangyi. If Han Qian could send Empress Xu, Zhang Xinchun and Duke Yang Fen of Chu to Jinling for trial, it would mean that Han Qian had a king.
Because of the magnanimity of the king, there was no need to worry that the children of the Zhu family and the generals of the Liang Kingdom would not be treated well in the future, so he asked Gu Qian and others to rush to Liyang to discuss secretly the matter of welcoming him.
And if Han Qian decided to kill or ordered the assassination of Empress Xu, Zhang Xinchun and others, he would allow Gu Qian and others to return quietly, and what happened after his death would be dealt with by Lei Jiuyuan, Gu Qian, Zhu Juezhong, Chen Youtong, Jing
The ideas of Hao and others were arranged.
"Of course we have thought that after His Majesty's death, even if the eldest prince, King Luo, succeeds to the throne, it will be difficult to withstand the Mongol offensive and cannot truly defend the Heluo area. At first, we thought of following the example of Shu and advocating that His Majesty take over the throne.
Therefore, after that, the eldest prince proclaimed himself king instead of emperor, and professed vassalage to Chu State so that he could continue to receive sufficient support from Chu State and Tangyi. We even initially suggested that Your Majesty marry Princess Yunhe to the Marquis of Han so that he could control the river.
The affairs of Luo Bingzhan were also handed over to the unified command and control of Han Hou, but His Majesty said that Han Hou was not a Chu minister, so he should be a Liang lord. There was no reason to be a Chu minister and a Liang minister. And His Majesty also said that Han Hou was not a Chu minister.
Lord Liang, apart from the fact that Heluo cannot really get a chance to breathe, and more hidden worries will only be buried deeper and deeper, so that they cannot be eliminated in the end, it is also difficult to solve Liangzhou's problems in a short time..."
Gu Qian and others calmly revealed the twists and turns behind the scenes and even revealed the opinions they initially insisted on. Feng Liao, Gao Shao and others did not mind at all. To be honest, from the standpoint of Gu Qian and others, they would also
They felt that Gu Qian's initial proposal was the most realistic, and they never expected that Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang would make such a decision!
Of course, not to mention Gu Qian and others, Feng Liao and others are also worried about how troublesome and chaotic it will be if they go directly to welcome Li - just thinking about the whole thing gives me a headache!

…………
Emperor Yanyou was assassinated and died. The new emperor ascended the throne and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Taihe. The expected great turmoil did not happen.
Not only did King Xin Yang Yuanyan abolish the vassal state in Huaidong, the rebel army also succeeded in severely inflicting heavy losses on the rebels in Xiangbei and regained the states of Xiangying and Dengjun - even though the rebels still held Jin and Liang states and refused to surrender, this
The two states were also ceded from the Shu Kingdom in recent years, and Zheng Hui led a large army to attack the Qingyuan Army Jiedushi and successfully captured the states and counties along the Xijiang River.
If Tangyi hadn't stood out among the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, making it impossible for anyone to ignore it, the great Chu state in the first year of Taihe could be said to have been a period of great rule.
In five days it will be the New Year's Eve, and the Imperial City will be decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere, creating a strong New Year's Eve atmosphere.
Compared with the traditional rice paper lampshades, the open-angle lampshades made from boiled sheep horns are becoming more and more popular among wealthy people. In the past two years, during the imperial period, bright-angle lampshades were gradually replaced with bright-angle lampshades that are more transparent and windproof.
No one knew what was happening in Liyang City at this moment. Shen Yang walked out of the government office of Shangshu Province and looked at the bright-angle lights hanging along the street emitting a faint yellow light. He took a few breaths of cold air and was made dizzy by the documents. His swollen brain suddenly woke up, but his chest was stimulated by the cold air and he coughed violently.
Qin Wen stepped forward and patted his back gently. Shen Yang waved his hand to show that he was not that fragile. He coughed for a while, waited for his breath to calm down, and took a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe away the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"Although the Mongols captured Yongzhou with great power, the two bandits Wang Yuankui and Tian Weiye, who were driven by the Mongols to attack the city and plunder the territory, suffered extremely heavy casualties, so much so that Zhao Mengji and Wang Xiaoxian offered their support, and the Mongols However, people were worried that he might become the guest and usurp the master, so they did not dare to accept him hastily. Lu Qingxia, who Li Zhigao had colluded with the Mongols, and Zhou Yuan were in Jinchi Village, thought that he had no intention of joining the Mongols for the time being - but in fact Even if Li Zhigao surrenders to the Mongols, the terrain along the Wuguan Road and the upper reaches of the Han River is difficult and difficult to defend, and it is enough to have the Youwu Guards and the Youwu Xiang Army stationed there. What Prince Shou means is that the Tangyi Army's outstanding military exploits should be greatly rewarded by the court. , but the generals of the Tangyi Army fought hard, and there is no need to worry about guarding the Wuguan Road. They should be ordered to return to the station to recuperate as soon as possible. Prime Minister Shen should not hesitate anymore, and should decisively ask the Queen Mother of the two palaces to issue an order. If time is delayed, Go down, wait until the people in Tangyi firmly control the villages and villages in Deng and Jun states, and if the imperial court wants to take back these two states, it may not be that easy..." said Zhang Xian, who was standing aside.
After the palace coup, Huang Hua did not return to the Central Committee and continued to stay in Hunan. However, in addition to Huang Huixiang, another important figure in the Huang family who also served as the counselor of political affairs and was qualified to participate in the privy affairs of the political affairs hall, Huang Hua also recommended his guest Zhou Qinian to serve as secretary-general. Sacrifice others.
At the same time, the longevity king Yang Zhitang also recommended Zhang Xian, the guest of honour, to serve as the official of Zhongshushe.
Although Zhongshu Sheren only held an official position of the sixth rank in the Central Committee, he was in charge of drafting edicts, participating in secrets, and reviewing memorials, and was extremely powerful.
In the middle and late period of the previous dynasty, Zhongshu Sheng held the decision-making power, while Zhongshu Ling was not permanent, or had only a false title. As a close minister of the emperor, Zhongshu Sheren actually held the power of the prime minister.
All the government orders of Da Chu came from the Shangshu Province, with the Shangshu Province as the center of government affairs. Shen Yang used Pushe and Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi to actually lead the prime minister, but he had the opportunity to participate in the secrets of Zhongshu Sheren and know how to control the imperial edicts and other posts. It's not like he's being dispatched casually.
Huang Hua and Yang Zhitang recommended Zhang Xian and Zhou Qinian to serve as officials in the Central Committee. In fact, they were used to participate in the decision-making of the Central Committee.
In comparison, although Qin Wen was a bachelor of Chongwen Palace and a master of imperial edicts at this time, and his rank was higher than that of Zhou Qinian and Zhang Xian, under the shadow of Shen Yang, he was more involved in secrets as an official of Shen Yang. , in fact, he has no independent right to speak, and his status is not as important as Zhou Qinian and Zhang Xian.
Shen Yang felt unwell, Qin Wen looked concerned, but Zhang Xian and Zhou Qinian just stood aside, waiting for Shen Yang to catch his breath and the cough was not so severe, and then continued what they had just done in the government office. Finished topic.
Qin Wen stood beside Shen Yang, frowning slightly as he listened to Zhang Xian once again declare his determination to take back Deng and Jun states from Tangyi's army.
In the eyes of many people, the first Hehuai War ended so hastily that Kong Xirong led 20,000 troops to tear apart the defense line from the northern front in early November and occupied the two states of Deng and Jun before the recruiting troops. It has become a fact, and Jinling people still haven’t completely come to their senses.
In the past month, the jurisdiction over the two prefectures of Dengjun and Dengjun, which control the Nanyang Basin, the southeastern foothills of Qinling Mountains and Wuguan Road, has become the focus of controversy in the court.
After the follow-up attack, the Xiangbei rebels who retreated to Yunyang and the upper reaches of the Han River west of Fangling even retreated 10,000 steps. Li Zhigao led the remaining army to join the Mongol people. A considerable number of princes and ministers in the court believed that The Recruitment Army, with the Youwu Guards and Youwu Xiang Army as the main force, is fully capable of subsequent combat and defense tasks, and does not require the participation of the Tangyi Army.
Both King Xin Yang Yuanyan and King Shou Yang Zhitang advocated stern orders to order the Tangyi army to withdraw from Dengjun and Dengjun states to Huaixi to rest and recuperate.
Zhang Xian's words represent the opinions of Shou Wang Yang Zhitang. Qin Wen disagrees. Without Shen Yang's permission, he will not refute fiercely, but that doesn't mean that he even has to hide his expression.
In fact, apart from Han Daoming, Chen Jingzhou, Han Daochang and other Tangyi ministers, there were also no one else in the court who was worried that the situation on the Western Front would deteriorate further...
