Chapter 158 The Two Dragons Don't Meet

After all, Zhang Rang did not dare to hide the news of Emperor Liu Hong's death.

For such a big matter, even if he wanted to cover it up, he might not be able to cover it up.

After confirming that Liu Hong was not breathing, Zhang Rang immediately called Zhao Zhong, Jian Shuo, Cao Jie and other ten servants to discuss together.

Especially Jian Shuo, who is now a lieutenant in the military academy, is very important.

When Liu Hong was alive, he naturally couldn't show his importance.But now that Liu Hong died, Jian Shuo's importance as the only one among the ten permanent servants who held military power was self-evident.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely low, and the air was almost frozen.

"Everyone, Your Majesty has passed away, what should we do now?"

Zhang Rang had witnessed Liu Hong's death just now, and now his mind was in chaos, and he had no backbone, so he asked everyone for their opinions.

"Mr. Zhang, Your Majesty is well. Why did you die suddenly?"

Zhao Zhong's eyes were full of sorrow, and his voice choked up.

Liu Hong was not a good emperor, but he treated these eunuchs extremely kindly, and he was the backing of these eunuchs. Now that he suddenly disappeared, Zhao Zhong felt very uncomfortable.

After all, the human heart is made of flesh, and no one is born a villain.

Zhang Rang calmed down before saying: "Early this morning, His Majesty took the Five Stone Pill, and by the time our family entered, he had... died."

"The Five Stone Pill must be poisonous, and His Majesty died of poisoning!" Zhao Zhong screamed, "Jian Gong, quickly arrest the person who made this pill!"

Zhao Zhong was also in a daze at this time, but he forgot that the person who presented the Five Stone Pill was the one who met Jian Shuo first.

"Impossible! Why do people want to murder His Majesty!"

Jian Shuo answered very quickly.The five-stone elixir was first taken out of his hand, if Liu Hong was really poisoned to death by the five-stone elixir, he must be to blame.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, it must be denied at this time, and it must be denied firmly, and it must not be allowed to have anything to do with Liu Hong's death.

Zhao Zhong snorted coldly and said, "Why is Mr. Jian so sure? You also said that the man didn't know his background. He might be someone with evil intentions who sent him to murder His Majesty!"

"Then why does he have to help us make suggestions over and over again, what are they trying to do!"

Jian Shuo hastily retorted, his voice several times louder than Zhao Zhong's.

Your Majesty is already dead, so what's the point of pursuing the fault again!
This Zhao Zhong is really hateful, he repeatedly speaks against me, is he trying to put me to death?
Jian Shuo was full of resentment.

It's as if our family wants His Majesty to die.

"Okay, stop arguing, both of you!"

Seeing that the two were arguing more and more fiercely, Zhang Rang had no choice but to speak.

However, with such kung fu skills, his mind can be regarded as stable.

"Mr. Zhao, according to our family, it should not be these five stone pills that poisoned His Majesty."

Zhang Rang said.

It is true that Jian Shuo sent someone to take the Five Stone Pill from Lin Chao, but every time it was offered to Liu Hong, it was mostly Zhang Rang who offered it himself.

If there is something wrong with this pill, not only Jian Shuo will be questioned, but Zhang Rang's fate will not be much better.

It's just that he didn't just deny it blindly like Jian Shuo, but gave examples.

"Your Majesty has been taking this five-stone pill for more than a month, and has been in high spirits, which is enough to prove that this product is non-toxic. Even if it is poisonous, it is far from fatal."

"Furthermore, not only His Majesty took this thing, but our family also took some of it during this period, but it was not damaged. This is enough to prove that His Majesty did not die from erysipelas. Please don't mention this matter again, Mr. Zhao."

Zhang Rang understood that the one who could not offend at the moment was Jian Shuo who held the military power, so he opened his mouth.

Of course, at the same time, in order to clear his suspicions.

Regarding this explanation, all the attendants nodded in agreement, and even Zhao Zhong stopped shouting, but bowed his head in silence.

Cao Jie next to him said, "Everyone, the most urgent task right now is who should be established as emperor. Mr. Zhang, before your Majesty dies, do you have an edict?"

"This... of course there is no such thing." Zhang Rang said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty came down so suddenly, there was no time to issue such an edict."

Hearing this, the eunuchs were silent...

Under Liu Hong's knees, there are now two princes. The eldest son, Liu Bian, is the son of Empress He.The youngest son, Liu Xie, was born to Wang Meiren.

Before Liu Hong was alive, the ministers repeatedly asked Liu Bian, the eldest son, to be the prince, but Liu Hong preferred the younger son Liu Xie.

It's just that Empress He is favored a lot in the harem, and General He Jin has a high position and power. Under the pressure of the two, Liu Hongcai didn't make Liu Xie the prince, but he didn't make Liu Bian the prince either, but just dragged on like this. .

Now the crown prince is vacant, so both of them have a chance to succeed.

For eunuchs, they definitely hope to make Liu Xie the prince.

In the past, Liu Hong had several sons, but all of them died young, and none of them could support them.So when Liu Bian was born, some ministers who respected the destiny believed that Liu Hong's imperial aura was too powerful for the prince to bear.

Therefore, Shangzou asked Liu Hong to foster him in an outsider's house, so that the father and son would not see each other, so Liu Bian's life would naturally be saved.

The so-called saying that two dragons do not meet each other has a great market in the homes of ancient emperors.

Naturally, Liu Hong didn't want to cut off his only bloodline, and had no other choice but to play it.Then he ordered Empress He to find a kind family to foster Liu Bian.

At that time, there was a Taoist named Shi Zixuan in the capital who was good at Taoism. Empress He entrusted Liu Bian to this family, hoping to protect Liu Bian with Shi Zixuan's Taoism.

Strange to say, after being fostered, Liu Bian did not die young like his older brothers, but grew up gradually.

Liu Hong was overjoyed, and believed even more in the theory that the two dragons would not meet each other, so he also fostered Liu Xie, who was born by Wang Meiren.

It's just that the candidates for foster care are different this time. Liu Hong chose his biological mother, Empress Dowager Dong.

In this way, I can also meet Liu Xie from time to time to enjoy the family happiness.

Therefore, Liu Xie, who grew up in the palace, was naturally more favored by Liu Hong, and he had repeatedly shown his tendency to become the prince.

What a shrewd eunuch, seeing that Liu Hong had this intention, he became closer to Liu Xie on weekdays.

On the other hand, in Liu Bian's side, Empress He was born the daughter of a butcher, so she was beautiful in appearance, but tough in nature and domineering in the harem.Even the ten permanent servants didn't pay much attention to them, and they scolded and scolded a lot, which was naturally disliked by the eunuchs.

And the great general He Jin held great power, and he regarded them as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, and he never wanted to get rid of them.

Furthermore, Liu Xie's superior position must be assisted by Empress Dowager Dong, and Empress Dowager Dong is alone and alone. If she wants to compete against the courtiers, she has to use ten permanent servants like Liu Hong, so that they can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth.

On the other hand, if Liu Bian ascended the throne, their end would probably be death.

There are various reasons above, so the eunuch hopes that Liu Xie will succeed to the throne.

But the fact is that Liu Bian is the eldest son and is more likely to inherit the throne.

Everyone was silent for a long time, and finally Zhang Rang said: "Everyone, why don't you... How about a preposterous edict?"

Hearing this, everyone else jumped.

They have never done this kind of thing before.
