725 did not return all night
Chen Qun respectfully walked in front of the Empress Dowager Gongsun, saluted the Empress Dowager Gongsun again, and then said: "Empress Dowager Gongsun, this is the last courtesy that Weichen will treat you, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer tonight, then everyone around you will die one by one because of you." Can you bear to see so many people die for you? ”
A hint of surprise appeared on the face of the Empress Dowager Gongsun, and she asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
"It's very simple, if you cooperate with me, then I will kill the palace maids who used to dress you in front of you one by one, until you change your mind!" Chen Qundao.
"You...... You are despicable! After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Gongsun suddenly felt terrified, she wanted to kill so many people in front of her, and she still couldn't do it watching them die for herself.
After a while, the Empress Dowager Gongsun sat on the chair like a deflated ball, and the tit-for-tat confrontation with Chen Qun just now disappeared completely, and sneered: "My family has all been killed by you, and I am left to live alone in this world, I have already gone through enough of this life, you can do whatever you want!" Don't let me see any more people die......"
"The Queen Mother means ......"
"I will do whatever you say, but I have one condition!" Empress Dowager Gongsun said.
"Now what right do you have to negotiate terms with us?" Xu Sheng interjected.
Chen Qun said: "Don't be rude, let's ask the Queen Mother to finish speaking." ”
The Empress Dowager Gongsun said: "I am a woman, and it is not a pity to die." It's just that Majesty Xià is still a child. He doesn't understand anything. I beg you to let His Majesty live and not kill His Majesty...... As long as you agree to this condition, I will do whatever you ask me to do. ”
Xu Chu and Xu Sheng both looked at Chen Qun, Chen Qun frowned and pondered for a moment, and then said: "Originally, cutting grass was to eradicate the roots, but Nian is still a child who doesn't understand anything, I can agree to your request." After the deed is completed, I will pray that His Majesty will be sent out of the palace and handed over to an ordinary person to be raised. However, I will announce to the public that His Majesty has died, and His Majesty will also change his name, and from now on, I will not trouble him again. As for the Queen Mother...... You know too many things, even if I am willing to let you go, the other ministers are not willing, as for what to do with you. We have to wait for the ministers to discuss with the regent before making a decision! ”
"I'm already a walking corpse, and life and death are no longer afraid of me. Since Lord Chen can keep His Majesty safe, I will agree to your request. Say, let me do that? "Although the Empress Dowager Gongsun is young, she is a person who understands, and after the Gongsun clan rebelled in Liaodong and was beheaded, the Empress Dowager Gongsun has long regarded herself as a dead person. If it weren't for Liu Feng's relationship, the Empress Dowager Gongsun would have committed suicide a long time ago.
Women will have a kind of motherhood by nature, she sees Liu Feng pitiful, so she shoulders the responsibility of raising Liu Feng, now Liu Feng is three years old, is still a playful child, the Empress Dowager Gongsun did not let him read and write, but wantonly let him play, even if Liu Feng did nothing in his life, it is better than causing suspicion and losing his life.
Empress Dowager Gongsun promised Chen Qun to help them cede the throne to Zhang Yan. When Chen Qun got the good news, he went back with Xu Chu and Xu Sheng to report the good news to the ministers who were complicit. At the same time, it is also necessary to discuss the matter of the Zen Rang Ceremony.
In the end, it was unanimously decided that the ceremony must be held before the relocation of the capital, because they wanted the new capital to become the residence of the new emperor.
The matter of moving the capital has always been haunting their minds, and these ministers all understand that as long as Zhang Yan puts forward the matter, it will not take long to be realized. Moreover, they did not obstruct the relocation of the capital, not all because of their own property in Pengcheng, one of the most important reasons was the change of dynasty.
Compared with the matter of moving the capital, the change of dynasty is the most important thing, and it is also what they want to accomplish, everyone has selfish intentions, and everyone will get more benefits because of the change of dynasty, so this kind of voice is the highest among many ministers.
Therefore, everyone had to make arrangements for the holding of the ceremony, as well as the details of all aspects, and they should not let Zhang Yan know, otherwise, every qiē would be in vain.
Because Chen Qun actively attracted the two key figures of Jinyi Guard's commander Xu Sheng and Wei general Xu Chu, as long as they didn't leak their secrets to Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan would never know.
Everyone discussed until the time of the Upper Morning Dynasty, and then they came out of Chen Qun's mansion one after another, and then went to the Upper Morning Dynasty together, and as for the Qiē incident that happened last night, no one mentioned it again, as if it had never happened at all.
……
Zhuge Liang was originally the Taishou of Liaodong, Zhang Yan went south and transferred Zhuge Liang to his side, after the southern expedition, Zhang Yan did not let Zhuge Liang leave, but let him continue to stay in Pengcheng as the Taishou of Liaodong and continue to do some things for him.
And Zhuge Liang did not have a mansion in Pengcheng, and he did not start a family, he was alone, so he temporarily lived in the mansion of his brother Zhuge Jin, Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Last night, Zhuge Liang's mention was approved by the regent Zhang Yan, who allowed him to move the capital in an orderly manner according to the formulated plan. And he was also named the director of the relocation office by Zhang Yan, and he was full of joy and did not lose his mind.
Because Zhuge Liang knew that the matter of moving the capital was very important, and the things involved were also very complicated, although Zhang Yan gave him the title of director of the relocation office, but whether the relocation office was big or small, and how many people there were, Zhang Yan did not say.
This also made Zhuge Liang lose his confidence, and decided to ask Zhang Yan about the matter of the early dynasty again, and implemented the details. Since he wants to move the capital, he must be given the manpower he can use, and the interests involved in moving the capital are very extensive, even the important ministers of the dynasty are not spared, if this matter is not solved well, it is very likely to offend the important ministers of the court, until Zhuge Liang returned to his brother's mansion, he felt that this relocation office may be a thankless errand.
But Zhuge Liang has already taken it, so he can only bite the bullet and go all the way to the dark.
Originally, Zhuge Liang wanted to find his brother Zhuge Jin to discuss this matter, because his brother had been Taishan Taishou for many years, and now he is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he may have some experience in the officialdom, and he wants to ask Zhuge Jin about moving the capital, but Zhuge Jin has something to go out tonight.
Zhuge Liang waited until the time, but he didn't wait for Zhuge Jin, so he simply went back to sleep.
However, Zhuge Liang had something in his heart, and he couldn't sleep, and he actually lost sleep.
Seeing that the time for the early dynasty was approaching, Zhuge Liang was lying down, and he had nothing to do, so he got dressed early, went out of the mansion, and went towards the Yanwang Mansion.
The early dynasty has only begun to exist in recent times, and it is convened by the regent Zhang Yan, and the ministers who came to participate are not civil and military officials, but only those ministers nominated by Zhang Yan, most of these nominated by Zhang Yan are important ministers in the court, and there are six ministries in the three provinces, and they are also the main officials in the court now, and officials like Zhuge Liang come to participate in the early dynasty, which is also a special case, and it is with Zhang Yan's permission, otherwise, there will definitely be no one who will come out rashly to break the balance of the early dynasty.
After Zhuge Liang came out of Zhuge Jin's mansion, he walked aimlessly on the street alone, because the internal division of Pengcheng is relatively concentrated, and the residential area where the officials live is not the same concept as the residential area where the ordinary people live, the official's residential area is in the inner city, and the people's are in the outer city, but because Zhuge Jin came to Pengcheng later, he did not have a place in the official's residential area, and could only live in the people's residential area in the outer city.
Therefore, if Zhuge Liang wants to participate in the early dynasty, he must first enter the inner city from the outer city, and then the inner city enters the imperial city.
Originally, each area was blocked by a city gate, and it was impossible to open the city gate in the outer city at such an early time, but due to the continuous transfer of foreign officials into Pengcheng in recent years, the original inner city residential area was simply not enough, so the outer city had to be opened.
Along the way, Zhuge Liang successively met three or four officials who went to the court, they either sat in a carriage or rode a soft sedan chair, all walked out of different streets in the outer city, and entered the inner city through the city gate, but Zhuge Liang was the only one who walked through with his feet.
When Zhuge Liang passed through the city gate, he showed his waist card to the officials guarding the city, and then entered the inner city, after entering the inner city, those officials he met had already gone away, but when Zhuge Liang passed by a very large mansion, his eyes couldn't help but light up, because he saw his brother Zhuge Jin walking out of the mansion, and then walking towards the imperial city in a soft sedan chair.
He wanted to catch up quickly, but when he had just taken two or three steps, he found an official coming out of the mansion and heading towards the imperial city in a soft sedan waiting outside.
Zhuge Liang knew that person, it was Zhang Zhao, the secretary of Dali Temple. Immediately afterwards, Yang Biao, the secretary of the ministry, Hua Xin, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Wang Lang, the deputy imperial history Gu Yong, the left imperial history Dong Zhao, the Wei general Xu Chu, and even the Jinyi Wei commander Xu Sheng also came out of the mansion one after another, or took a soft sedan chair, or a carriage, or a horse, and left here one after another.
Zhuge Liang frowned, looked at the mansion, and muttered to himself in his heart: "Isn't this the mansion of Chen Qun, the head of the household?" My brother didn't return overnight, and he actually spent the night here? And those officials, they also spent the night here, what the hell are they doing? ”
A trace of suspicion surged into Zhuge Liang's heart, and he couldn't help but gasp, and thought to himself: "Didn't they get together to discuss the matter of resisting the relocation of the capital?" ”
At this moment, Chen Qun, the head of the household, walked out of the mansion in a soft sedan chair and headed towards the imperial city.
"No, I'll have to hurry up and ask my brother what the hell is going on, and if they really get together to resist the relocation of the capital, wouldn't they be disobeying the regent's will? The regent is very determined to move the capital, and he must not let his brother be involved......"
As soon as he thought of this, Zhuge Liang immediately took three steps and made two steps, chased after him, and chased Zhuge Jin in the distance. (To be continued......)
