Invincible son

Chapter 672 671 [What seems to be in the world] (twenty)

Xingyefang, Yuqing Street, Mofu.

"Cough-cough-"

Mo Haoli leaned on the pillow, looking very weak. After he stopped coughing, he closed his eyes and rested for a while, then opened his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man sitting by the bed, and said in a low tone: "Ji Yu, do you know Why did the old man stand up and support the succession today?"

Luo Ting said seriously: "Jun Xinggong is wholeheartedly for Daliang."

After the first emperor died of a serious illness, Liu Zheng was not the only one who was expected to ascend to the throne. Emperor Zhongzong also had several well-connected princes, especially Prince Qing Liu Jun.It's just because Liu Zheng has the full support of two important ministers, Mo Haoli and Wang Pingzhang, the other princes have to give up their illusions. Sixteen years later, Emperor Kaiping's brothers passed away one after another, and only Duan Wang Liu Xiang remained among his uncles.

In the eyes of many people, the reason why Mo Haoli chose to support Liu Zheng was only for his own power and status. After all, Liu Zheng had a good relationship with Wu Xun in the army before, but he didn't have much contact with Korean and Chinese officials.

Hearing Luo Ting's praise, Mo Haoli originally wanted to make a joke, but thinking of the temperament of this junior, he had no choice but to give up, and changed the topic: "Looking at the history books, there are countless tragedies involved in the struggle for the throne in the past dynasties. I don’t want the huge country of Liang to fall into civil strife. Today, you have encountered the same situation as the old man, but I don’t know how you plan to deal with it?”

Luo Ting was silent for a moment, with bitterness on his face, he raised his head and said, "Mr. Junxing, I was thinking about one thing last night."

"What's the matter?"

"The so-called assassination, is His Majesty pushing the boat along with the current, or is His Majesty leading the snake out of the hole?"

"There seems to be no difference between the two."

"Of course there is."

Luo Ting spoke sternly, and slightly raised his tone: "If it's the former, I can barely accept it. After all, there are some evil people spying on Dabao. But if it's the latter, I think His Majesty's move is tantamount to self-destruction. Listen to me last night. The chaos in the capital, the garrison and the five army governors' mansions have been reduced to the pawns of the fourth prince, the internal opinions of the forbidden army are at odds, and the palace is even more chaotic. People's hearts are fluctuating, disputes are everywhere, and the recent Beijing inspection has made some people panic , Kyoto turned into a place of chaos overnight."

He paused, and said with a frown: "I absolutely don't believe that Pei Yue will kill the king and rebel, and I don't believe that His Majesty will easily fall into the trap. But the capital is already in chaos. The bad news shocked and grieved, but in fact, he had already put his mind on the fourth prince and dreamed of the dream of being a hero from the dragon. Jun Xinggong, if your majesty just made such a big battle just to examine the loyalty of his ministers, it would put us at a disadvantage. where?"

Mo Haoli was slightly taken aback, and after a long time sighed softly: "I can assure you, this matter was never initiated by His Majesty. Now that you are No.1 in the Eastern Mansion, you should know that Your Majesty has prepared for many years to attack Zhou. How could you sit back and watch the situation get so chaotic?"

Luo Ting said in a deep voice: "It turns out that His Majesty can't find out the cards of the fourth prince, so he can only use his tricks."

Mo Haoli said slowly: "Have you ever thought about why the fourth prince must seize the governor's mansion of the fifth army? Even the Zhongshanhou mansion and Guangpinghou mansion just sent people to watch over them, and did not forcibly plunder hostages to threaten Pei Yue ?”

With a dignified expression, Luo Ting stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Junxing, for reminding me. I'm going to Beicheng now."

Mo Haoli frowned and said: "The fourth prince may not be afraid of you, now he holds the military power."

Luo Ting said with emotion: "I am appointed by His Majesty to be in power, so I should always stand up at this time."

He saluted and said goodbye, then left firmly.

Mo Haoli looked at his back, with relief and emotion in his eyes.

……

Kyoto, North City.

The city is lined with iron armor, and the city is lined with soldiers. The tension and depression spread in the early summer morning breeze.

As Yan Wang Liu Zan's angry words of persuasion spread, many high-ranking officials and generals appeared on the city wall.

Pei Yue looked up, and the people he knew included Zhang Wu, Marquis of Chengyang, Guo Kaishan, Marquis of Chengyi, Li Bingzhong, Marquis of Fengcheng, Duan Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Liu Daxia, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Chen Xiangxian, Zhongcheng of Yushi, Han Qingduan, a scholar of Hanlin, and so on.In addition, there were a group of unfamiliar faces that he hadn't seen much, but judging from the rank of their official uniforms, the ones who could walk up the city wall and stand behind Liu Zan were definitely not junior officials of the seventh or eighth rank.

These people usually dare not show contempt when they see Pei Yue even if they don't lower their posture, but when they gather together at this moment, they can form a powerful force.

Especially at this moment, Pei Yue was suspected of regicide and treason on his back, they looked down at this young dignitary who had once had a great reputation, and the sarcasm in their eyes was fully revealed.

Looking at the silent Pei Yue, Liu Zan didn't seem to be in a hurry, and rather enjoyed the current scene.

After a while, Pei Gao said in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness, do you have any evidence for my regicide and treason?"

Liu Zan scolded: "You still have to quibble when you are about to die. You are provoking the patience of the king and the court. Well, since you want to die clearly, then the king will tell you in front of all the officials and soldiers. Yesterday at the Circular Mound Altar in Xingliang Mansion, there were three assassins who wanted to commit treason and injustice. Although you stopped them, can you tell us that the entire Circular Mound Altar is under your control, protected by tens of thousands of troops inside and outside? , why let a few assassins get in?"

All the officials were shocked.

Liu Zan sarcastically said: "After thinking about it, this king should be just a play arranged by you. The purpose is to win the trust of your father. After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is over, you will use the opportunity of being alone with your father to poison and murder your father." The emperor, and immediately ordered his generals to control the situation, and imprisoned the three princes, Duke Wei and others. Now you are pretending to be a loyal minister, if you are really a loyal minister, release the prince and others who were detained by you immediately , and then personally escort Father Emperor into the city!"

These words were well-founded, and the courtiers nodded frequently.

Li Bingzhong, Marquis of Fengcheng, suddenly asked: "May I ask why Your Highness knows these things so well?"

Liu Zan said frankly: "Father has a personal guard named Luan Yiwei, who is responsible for secretly protecting the safety of Sheng Jia. It is only because Father trusts Pei Yue, a traitor, that he has the opportunity to use the heavy soldiers in his hands to commit crimes. There was a rebellion, and Luan Yiwei had no choice but to flee back to the capital to report the news. Now the father, the elder brother and others are in the hands of the thief, and for the safety of Daliang, this king has to temporarily replace the father to deal with the crisis."

Li Bingzhong seemed to be convinced, bowed and said: "Your Highness is wise."

The others looked at each other, not to slander the speed at which this guy changed his face, but to regret being preempted by him, and they all immediately praised him.

For a while, there was a lot of flattery on the city wall, but there was a dead silence below the city.

It's like two worlds.
