Chapter 1115: Usurpation of power
Although Zhuang Mingyue knew in her heart that no matter which dynasty or generation of emperors, after being blinded by traitorous ministers, she would naturally believe in them, and believed them very much, so her words actually did not have too much meaning.
But in her memory, she still remembered that the emperor of Chu was not such an ignorant person.
It stands to reason that it should not be so casual to listen to the words of these traitors in the court, and even such things as traitors in charge of the government have happened.
And Brother Chen here naturally knew why Zhuang Mingyue asked like this, so when he heard Zhuang Mingyue's words, he just sighed lightly and shook his head.
"If it was the former Emperor of Chu, this kind of thing would not have happened, but it's a pity that ......"
"Former Emperor Chu?!"
If Zhuang Mingyue himself has become so ignorant now because of Emperor Chu, he would be a little surprised and surprised by the traitorous ministers.
So in this case, hearing that the Chu Emperor has actually become the former Chu Emperor, in this case, no matter what the circumstances, it will naturally make her hard to believe.
"Now that the previous Emperor Chu has passed away, he is now the youngest son of the Emperor of Chu, the new emperor."
Brother Chen here obviously only knew that Zhuang Mingyue didn't know about this matter, so after seeing Zhuang Mingyue so surprised, he didn't hesitate at all, and directly told her these words.
With such a simple sentence from Brother Chen, he became the former Chu Emperor for the Chu Emperor he knew at the beginning of the Chu State. And in the case of some surprise, I heard that it was the youngest son of the former emperor of Chu who was now in power, and the surprised look in his eyes after becoming the new emperor could not be concealed.
"How did he become the youngest son of Emperor Chu? How come Tiansheng hasn't heard any news? It stands to reason that after any country changes to a new emperor, it will definitely be summoned to the world. Even if it is not the same country, as long as there is diplomatic relations between them, they will definitely send a congratulatory gift to the new emperor, but when I was in Tiansheng, I never heard any news at all. ”
After hearing Zhuang Mingyue's surprised words, Brother Chen here could only shake his head bitterly and helplessly.
"Now this kind of news is only known to people above the court of the Chu State. The succession of the new Chu Emperor at the beginning, we ordinary people of Chu did not know. If it weren't for the fact that at that time, before we shoveled General Yu Chong down, we heard what those Chu officials said, we wouldn't know either. ”
Zhuang Mingyue naturally knew that it was impossible for Brother Chen to tell lies and deceive her at such a juncture. And judging from the various things that happened in the Chu State during this time, as well as this kind of behavior, it is indeed more like a change of emperor. And you can wantonly let the traitors take charge, which will make the situation of going abroad become what it is now.
It is precisely because of this that Zhuang Mingyue, who saw Zhuang Mingyue here, suddenly remembered something, and then frowned slightly, and then asked again.
"Could it be that the current emperor of Chu is a mediocre and useless person? But I remember that the princes under the name of the Emperor of Chu State, those who can inherit the throne are all capable people, how can they be so ignorant? ”
Brother Chen couldn't help but sigh lightly again, his expression full of speechlessness.
"It is precisely because the princes under the name of the previous Emperor Chu are all capable people, so none of their princes have been recognized as being able to become the new emperor."
The more I listened to this, the more I felt surprised and surprised Zhuang Mingyue, and her expression became more solemn
"What? If none of them are allowed, then who is doing on the dragon chair of the emperor of Chu now? ”
I saw a helpless wry smile on the corner of Brother Chen's lips.
"They want to be justified, but they don't want the new Chu Emperor to have the ability to control the entire Chu State, so they chose the youngest prince under the name of the previous Chu Emperor, who is only a few years old now."
“………”
Zhuang Mingyue, who heard this, could be said to be completely speechless.
She really didn't know that the methods of these traitorous ministers in the Chu State could be despicable and shameless to such a degree. First, they united and tried their best to solve the problem of the previous emperor and let him retire from the position of the emperor of the Ninety-Five Supreme.
Later, he found a legitimate and qualified to inherit the Chu State, but the youngest emperor who was young and ignorant to succeed the Chu Emperor. But it is precisely because of this that he is only a few years old now, how can the new emperor of Chu State have the ability to take charge of these things in the court of Chu State?
In this case, there is nothing that cannot be explained anymore if these traitors are allowed to be in charge, and the entire Chu State will fall into such a situation.
After knowing this matter, Zhuang Mingyue also understood in her heart that now the entire Chu State has been completely chaotic.
also understands that the reason why the Chu State is like this now is because the traitorous ministers are in power, and their current Chu Emperor is because he is too young, so he has no real power in his hands.
Zhuang Mingyue, who thought of it a little more, pondered for a moment, and then was a little unsure, and had to ask tentatively, "Then I don't know if you know the new emperor of Chu State, who is his mother?" ”
Although Zhuang Mingyue knew that Chu State did have such a very young prince, she naturally didn't know much about the mothers of these princes.
And judging from what she knew, the mother concubine of the youngest prince was definitely not the queen, or the concubine. Otherwise, she didn't have to think about it for a long time, but she didn't figure out which concubine the little emperor's mother was in the palace.
And this time, she asked so tentatively because Brother Chen, as well as Ah Qi and Xiao Feng, they were just ordinary people in Chu State. Therefore, they knew about this kind of thing, but they also inadvertently found out, not just about the court.
So even if she asked out loud like this, there were many people here who didn't know about those things in the harem. In addition to being silent, he just shook his head, unable to give Zhuang Mingyue any useful news.
However, although he said this, when he knew that the current Emperor of Chu was the youngest prince of the previous Emperor of Chu, it was already equivalent to knowing the biggest secret.
As for who is the mother of the youngest prince?
Although I don't know it now, as long as I have the heart to investigate, I will definitely be able to find out in the shortest possible time.
After all, it is impossible for this prince's mother and concubine to be replaced, whether she is dead or alive now, or helplessly controlled by these traitors, or she is in the same league with those traitors.
All in all, in the subsequent investigation, it will definitely be known. So from the current point of view, since Brother Chen and the others in front of him don't know, there is no need to deliberately investigate.
"I'm afraid that there is such a person, but the temperament of the little emperor who is only a few years old, even if he has been usurped and seized the throne now, I am afraid that he does not know it at all."
Seeing Zhuang Mingyue sighing lightly, Brother Chen couldn't help but sigh lightly again, feeling a little sorry for this little emperor who was only a few years old, but he was carrying traitors in the court behind his back, and took advantage of such a situation.
"That's true, but I don't know what happened to these people with the previous Emperor Chu, and they were able to have such a great ability, so that Emperor Chu supported a little prince who was only a few years old to ascend to the throne, and was used by them like this."
Zhuang Mingyue, who heard this, frowned and nodded unconsciously.
Then he was suddenly slightly stunned, and it was also at this moment that he recalled some things, and he looked up at Brother Chen in front of him again.
"So in other words, when you kidnapped General Yu Chong before, you wanted him to deal with those traitorous ministers in the court, so that the Chu State could restore the prosperity of the country and the people in the past?"
It is indeed the same thing The people of Chu State, after hearing Zhang Ming's inquiry, nodded because of this.
Just as Zhuang Mingyue said, what they want now is naturally to hope that someone can deal with these traitors in the court, so that the entire Chu State can return to its previous state.
Although they do have intentions, they want to recruit troops and revolt to deal with these traitors in the court. But in the end, even a civil uprising needs capital, and they can't even support their own families now.
If you can't get enough to eat, where can you get the capital to recruit troops and buy horses, so that more people can participate in this?
It was also for such a reason that they came up with such a way to kidnap General Yu Chong.
"Your Royal Highness the Second Princess, I wonder if we can make a deal with you this time?"
Because of the relationship during this time, they have already known each other, and they also have real trust in Zhuang Mingyue. So after realizing this, they also pinned their thoughts on Zhuang Mingyue.
And Zhuang Mingyue here couldn't help but be slightly stunned after hearing the words of Brother Chen, as well as the title of Her Royal Highness the Second Princess, which had never been mentioned in the past, and already vaguely had the idea of this transaction mentioned by them in her heart.
But after all, it was just the thoughts in his own heart, before he heard Brother Chen completely say the words.
