A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1362

[Chapter 1352 Eggs and Stones]

Although the old Shangshu had long felt that some of the things that happened recently were very strange, and had even guessed some terrible possibilities, Qi Ning guessed that Xiao Shaozong used the recommendation of the Ministry of War to let Lu Xiaochao control the Tiger God Camp and then control the entire capital. Shang Shu was sweating coldly on his back.

If this is the case, the situation has reached a very serious point.

“What is Xiao Shaozong’s intention to control the capital?” Although the old minister had already guessed Xiao Shaozong’s purpose, he couldn’t help but ask this question.

Qi Ning’s eyes were deep and his expression was stern: “Naturally, it is to usurp the throne.”

“Does he really want to usurp the throne?” The old Shangshu looked cold and sneered: “I am afraid that he may not be able to do so, he just controls the capital. Do you really think that the world can be turned upside down? The emperor was ordered by the previous emperor to ascend the throne. He is the orthodox emperor of my great Chu. Xiao Shaozong usurped the throne

. Since he has spent many years of thought and planning, he will naturally not put himself in a difficult situation.” Weiyi pondered, and then said: “Old Shangshu, when Emperor Taizu died, the King of Huainan was still in his infancy, and the South was not peaceful at that time. , Emperor Taizu passed the throne to Emperor Taizong for the great cause of Chu State, but it is rumored that Emperor Taizong had promised Emperor Taizu that he would pass the throne to Xiao Zhang, King of Huainan, but he didn’t know if this was true. Fake?” The

old master said, “These rumors never appeared in the first place. In fact, they began to circulate in the year when Emperor Taizong died. At first, it was only in the market, and later even the officials of the court discussed it. However, from the beginning to the end, this old man never believed in such unfounded rumors. If Emperor Taizong really had made such a promise back then, there would have been witnesses on the side to testify, and there must be records in the secret archives in the palace, but there was no such record at all. And Emperor Taizong never told anyone that he would pass the throne to the King of Huainan.” With a sneer, he said, “After Emperor Taizong took the throne, he naturally wanted to reuse his direct descendants, including your brocade-clothed family, but also Therefore, many of Emperor Taizu’s subordinates were dissatisfied, and they naturally hoped that the King of Huainan would one day inherit the throne, which would be of great benefit to them, and those rumors in the market, of course, they added fuel to the fire, and the trouble spread everywhere.”

“Although it’s out of nothing, these rumors still make many people believe it.” Qi Ning said: “Some people even think that the king of Huainan is the real and legitimate heir.” The

old Shangshu said: “You are not false. After that, Sima Lan secretly played on the late emperor and wanted to kill a group of people who deceived rumors. Fortunately, the late emperor was generous and did not kill the king because of this. Instead, he always treated the king of Huainan kindly.”

“If it really started killing people, I’m afraid Those who were skeptical actually believed such rumors.” Qi Ning sighed.

The old Shangshu nodded and said, “That’s right. The late emperor was benevolent and kind, and he didn’t get angry because of it, and

those rumors gradually disappeared. Even if there are rumors that the old marquis of Tantai once made a case to the late emperor, mentioning Emperor Taizong’s promise. , that is also nonsense. Jin Dao Tantai is the most powerful one among the vassals of Emperor Taizu, so someone with ulterior motives will carry the Tantai family out. In fact, this is impossible at all. The matter. Rumors say that Emperor Taizu made a promise, but there is no evidence, and there is no such record in the palace. The old marquis of Tantai is very wise, how could he talk to the emperor because of these rumors? It’s

not about seeking death.”

Qi Ning knew that what the old minister said was true.

The old marquis of Tantai belongs to the Jindao lineage. Without evidence, it is absolutely impossible for the King of Huainan to sue the late emperor. Even if there is evidence, the old marquis may not act rashly. Among the old ministers of the Qing Dynasty are the ministers who really hold the military power. It’s fine if he doesn’t move. If such ministers who hold the military power have the heart to support the King of Huainan, the first emperor is merciful, and it is impossible for the Jindao Tantai family to survive. .

When he heard this rumor, he felt that the possibility was very small. Today, the old Shangshu said this, and he was sure that it was really just a rumor.

“It’s precisely because of this that I came to see Lao Shangshu today.” Qi Ning said, “Old Shangshu is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the heart of the world’s descendants is naturally the Lao Shangshu who knows best.” After thinking for a while, he said, “Younger dare to ask a question. , Did these rumors have any influence on the world’s literati princes?”

The old Shangshu’s expression suddenly became serious, he raised his hand to stroke his beard, pondered for a moment, and finally said: “Eleven years ago, there was an incident, but… not many people knew about it.”

“Please enlighten me, old Shangshu! ”

The old man received a letter that year, and it was submitted by a scholar in Xunyang.” The old man said: “This person is quite famous, and he sent a letter to someone. In the letter, it was actually said that the king of Huainan was Tai Tai. The eldest son of the ancestral emperor, according to the etiquette system, Emperor Taizong should make King Huainan the crown prince, otherwise he will usurp the throne. Although he ignored it, since this person dared to send such a letter, it can be seen that there are indeed many scholars who think that the King of Huainan has the qualification to inherit the throne.”

Qi Ning nodded and said, “There may not be too many such people, but scholars If people have such thoughts, Xiao Shaozong can take advantage of them.” He frowned and said, “I only worry about one thing now!” The

old Shang Shu immediately understood and said in a low voice, “Do you think Xiao Shaozong will let… The emperor issued an edict of abdication?”

“Exactly.” Qi Ning said: “The emperor is under his control, if he forces the emperor to issue an edict of abdication, or even let the emperor ascend to him, then it will be in line with the law, and no one will Doubt his succession to the throne.”

“The emperor is in his youth, even if he issues an edict of abdication, he still needs a reason.” The old Shangshu said, “When he promulgates an edict of abdication at such a young age, everyone in the world will feel that there is something strange about it.”

Qi Ning immediately said .

: “Did you forget that the old Shangshu has been saying that the emperor is not feeling well recently, and the old Shangshu also said just now that the emperor who appeared at the court meeting had a wrong voice, and many people thought it was caused by the dragon’s health… !” His eyes were sharp and his expression solemn: “I am afraid that this was deliberately arranged by Xiao Shaozong to let the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty confirm that the emperor is not in good health…!” The

old Shangshu said in horror: “At that time, it can be said that the emperor has a dragon body. I can’t manage affairs, so…!”

“There will even be news of the emperor’s sudden death.” Qi Ning sighed: “Since everyone knows that the emperor’s dragon body is ill, but they don’t know what the disease is, if the emperor suddenly died suddenly, then Xiao Shaozong has already done enough in advance. Kung Fu, you only need to control a few imperial doctors, and then you can explain it to the world.”

It was summer, and the temperature at night was not low, but the old Shangshu couldn’t help but tighten his clothes.

There was a dead silence in the study. After a while, the old Shang Shu finally said: “We can only speculate on all of this, without any evidence.”

“This is the most difficult problem at the moment.” Qi Ning frowned: “If I said There is solid evidence for these, so it is natural to unite the court ministers with King Qin, but without evidence, it is impossible for the ministers in the court to unite. Even if they have doubts in their hearts, they will not dare to take any action. Both the camp and the Shenhou Mansion are under Xiao Shaozong’s control. He can also borrow the name of the emperor and issue decrees at will, not to mention that no one dares to stand up at this time. Even if there are such people, what will they use to expose Xiao Shaozong? The

old Shang Shu frowned and said, “If he really forces the emperor to issue an edict of abdication, or even usurp the throne, even the Qinhuai Army will have to obey his will.” Seemingly anxious, Qi Ning hurriedly stood up. In the past, he lightly patted the old Shangshu’s back. After the old Shangshu slowed down, he smiled wryly: “Emperor Protector, even if the old man believes all of what you said, so what? The old man has no military power in his hands, and there is no evidence of Xiao Shaozong usurping the throne. I can’t do anything.” He turned his head to look at Qi Ning beside him, and said softly, “Since Xiao Shaozong has put you on the charge of treason, you are also extremely dangerous in the capital. I am afraid that there are eyeliners everywhere in this capital, if anyone finds your trace , you can’t escape at all.”

“Since I’m back, I haven’t thought about escaping.” Qi Ning said coldly: “Now there are three things that must be done.”

“Three things?”

“First of all, we must find out the emperor The situation.” Qi Ning said: “As long as the emperor is still alive and he comes forward to expose Xiao Shaozong’s conspiracy, then Xiao Shaozong’s painstakingly planned conspiracy will be exposed.”

“Could it be… that the emperor has been killed?” The old Shang Shu was shocked and his pupils contracted.

Qi Ning shook his head and said, “The emperor’s safety cannot be determined at the moment…!” After thinking for a while, he continued: “Secondly, we need to find out about Xiao Shaozong’s current situation, except for the fact that he is currently in his hands. Are there other hidden powers that you have in your hands?” The

old master said, “The power in his hands is not something you can handle. The Jinyi Qi family is relying on the power, the Qinhuai Army is now on the front line, and the Black Scale Battalion is also on the front line. It has been dismantled, and Ruo Xue Lingfeng’s Tiger God Camp has now become Lu Xiaochao’s soldiers.” Looking at Qi Ning’s eyes: “These three soldiers and horses are all related to the Qi family, or they can be used by you. , but now you can’t mobilize one soldier or one soldier. Take a step back and say, even if you can mobilize these troops, how can you easily mobilize your troops before you are sure that the emperor is indeed controlled by Xiao Shaozong? Zhiruo outside the city Daoying, Xuanwuying and even local officers and soldiers are even less likely to be used by you.”

Qi Ning said with a wry smile: “What the old master said is very true, I don’t have any trump cards to compete with Xiao Shaozong at all. Xiao Shaozong’s current situation, if it were eggs and stones, if he fought hard, he could only end up in pieces!”
