Dajin royal family

Chapter 382 King Liang's Attitude ([-])

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Jiang Chengxiao's mouth.

"Tell me your reasons."

Du Ruming said softly: "Your Highness's ascension to the throne can unite the hearts of the officers and men in the army, but His Highness's foundation in Taiyuan is not deep. It can be said that it is entirely dependent on the Wang family to stabilize the situation and let the officials of Taiyuan County obey orders."

"In this way, His Highness will definitely reuse the Wang family after he ascends the throne, so the dependence will become more and more serious, and those officials will also follow the orders of the Wang family, which is not conducive to the development of His Highness."

"Go on." Jiang Chengxiao grabbed a handful of millet stalks and put them into the brazier, and choking white smoke curled up.

Du Ruming continued: "Furthermore, in Bing Prefecture, only one Taiyuan County is relatively stable, and the governors of the other counties have not expressed their views. I don't know what their thoughts are. It would be very wrong to ascend the throne rashly. The vacillating sheriff became timid."

"What do you mean by that?"

"The governors of other counties are afraid that they will be loyal to His Highness, which will attract hostile attacks from the Luoyang court, and at the same time, they are afraid that His Highness will not be able to stop Yu Wenshu, so they are caught in a dilemma."

After a pause, Du Ruming continued: "Of course, it is also beneficial for His Highness to ascend the throne. As a royal family, His Highness is well-known in the world. Once he ascends the throne, he will definitely attract many people to join him."

"It will also make more people scold me for my wolf ambition, no different from Yu Wenshu, usurping the throne from the direct line of the royal family."

Jiang Chengxiao interrupted Du Ruming suddenly, and said with a sneer, "After all, the empress and her party have already arrived at Jinyang Palace. If I don't support the third prince to ascend the throne, but ascend the throne by myself, they will definitely think that I am no different from Yu Wenshu."

Du Ruming remained silent, this was the embarrassment now.

If the queen and the others hadn't come here, then it would be reasonable for Jiang Chengxiao to ascend the throne as a royal.

But they were here, along with the late emperor's third prince and Prince Zhao's two legitimate sons.

In this way, things became hard to say, after all, in terms of status, the two legitimate sons of the Third Prince and Prince Zhao were naturally more valuable.

According to the rules of succession to the throne, they are also in front of King Liang.

However, Liang Wang would be willing to support them?

It would be impossible for another person to think about it. No matter what he did, King Liang would bear his reputation.

Either a 'power minister'.

Either 'Regent'.

In this way, this is no different from Yu Wenshu.

More importantly, if they supported the third prince or Prince Zhao's son to ascend the throne, if someone secretly plotted to do something wrong, they would hinder King Liang in the court.

This is a huge problem!

Therefore, as the news spread that the queen and others were staying in Jinyang Palace, King Liang had to express his position on this matter and make up his mind.

In the end is to ascend the throne by oneself, or support others to ascend the throne.

This is a problem.

If it is dragged on, it will give people with ulterior motives the opportunity to move their minds.

Jiang Chengxiao said: "Go back and rest first, I will tell you my answer in three days."

"Yes."

Du Ruming bowed, because he had been kneeling for a long time, so when he stood up, his face was very expressive.

The mourning hall became quiet, the dark places on the left and right were Jiang Chengxiao's guards, and the darker place was King Zhao's Blackwater Eighteen Riders.

Three days later.

Wangfu.

Wang Ling and Wang Xun sat on their knees facing each other.

"Fourth brother, what do you think King Liang is thinking, is he going to be enthroned or not?" Wang Xun picked up the teacup, looking quite depressed.

"I can't see through."

Wang Ling sighed, "If King Liang wants to ascend the throne himself, then he will never let the news of the empress and others living in Jinyang Palace leak out. Second brother, you must know that the two sons of the third prince and Prince Zhao are both in Jinyang Palace. Yanggong, if King Liang ascends the throne under such circumstances, how different is it from Yu Wenshu?"

Wang Xun nodded, "You're right, although King Liang is also from the royal family, he is naturally inferior to the third prince and Prince Zhao's legitimate son."

"It's so strange here." Wang Ling said, "King Liang insisted on not going to Jinyang Palace to visit the queen, but he didn't stop Taiyuan's bureaucrats from going to Jinyang Palace to visit the queen. In this way, I really don't know what King Liang is thinking. of."

Wang Xun said: "Tell me, would King Liang do this on purpose?"

"What do you mean?"

"Look, King Liang himself doesn't make a statement, he waits and sees first, he is waiting for the bureaucrats in Taiyuan to make a statement, is it possible that he wants to see who wants to be loyal to the queen?"

Wang Lingdao: "It's possible that once he finds those bureaucrats who are loyal to the queen, he will definitely reject them. Maybe King Liang is using this incident to test everyone's attitude. This statement is exactly in line with why King Liang didn't stop the queen and others. The news of entering Jinyang Palace has leaked."

"Then King Liang wants to ascend the throne?"

"Not necessarily." Wang Ling shook her head, "Second Brother, King Liang has a lot of meaning in every step he does. This time it will never be as simple as it seems on the surface. I always feel that King Liang seems to have made a decision."

"By the way, second brother, how many bureaucrats have gone to Jinyang Palace to visit the queen?" Wang Ling suddenly remembered and asked.

Wang Xun stretched out three fingers.

"Thirty percent of the bureaucrats in Taiyuan?" Wang Ling gasped, "Are they crazy? Do you really think that Liang Wang's former butcher county king was named by himself?"

"My dear brother misunderstood." Wang Xun said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "There are only three people."

"Which three?"

"The county magistrate of Qi County and the county magistrate of Heping City."

Wang Ling thought for a moment, and said: "The magistrate of Qi County was dismissed and investigated by the King of Liang because he shielded Yu Binghong from rebelling. What does Cheng mean?"

Wang Xun said coldly: "I heard that King Liang sent troops to Pingcheng, and the magistrate of Pingcheng is very dissatisfied."

"Stupid!" Wang Ling scolded, "The world is in chaos. I don't know how safe it is to have an army stationed there. What's more, Liang Wang's soldiers are all troops with strict military discipline and never disturb the people. This county magistrate of Pingcheng is really stupid!"

"He's really stupid." Wang Xun nodded in agreement.

Wang Ling suddenly asked: "What about the second brother, do you think King Liang should ascend the throne?"

Wang Xun thought for a while and said, "I don't care. Father's order is for us to support King Liang with all our strength. I agree with it no matter whether we are enthroned or not."

"Second brother, you have to remember that all decisions must be based on the attitude of King Liang. You must not collude with officials in Taiyuan to ask King Liang to ascend the throne." Wang Ling reminded.

"Why is this?"

"Because our Wang family is very conspicuous now, it is very wise for the second brother not to go to Jinyang Palace to visit the queen this time, but it is precisely because of this that the King of Liang will definitely know the tricks." Wang Ling said.

"What the fourth brother means is that the King of Liang thinks that the officials in Taiyuan are all following the lead of my royal family, and they are very afraid of us, is that true?"

Wang Ling nodded, "Second Brother is right, King Liang wouldn't want to see this scene."

Hearing this, Wang Xun sighed heavily.

"I know this is not what the superiors want to see, but this is the contacts and capital accumulated by our Wang family for generations. How dare I throw it out now, let alone I don't know my father's attitude yet."

Wang Ling smiled and explained: "Second brother, you are worrying too much, I didn't ask you to draw a clear line between them."

"Oh, what do you mean then?"

"Second brother just needs to remember one thing. King Liang is the leader in everything. Whatever he says is what he says. We can do whatever he asks us to do. As long as second brother doesn't hold back Liang Wang, everything will be fine."

"The world is in chaos, and what King Liang needs is a stable rear. At this time, whoever adds chaos to King Liang is King Liang's enemy."

Wang Xun nodded, "You are right, it seems to be the best way to do so now."

At this point, he sighed again.

"Fourth brother, if father and the others come back, why are you and I struggling to support him?"

Wang Ling smiled wryly, "Second brother, regarding this, we can only hope that King Liang will defeat Yu Wenshu as soon as possible and save father."

Jinyang Palace.

The queen and others have lived here for five or six days, but the officials who came to pay their respects were only three or two small fish and shrimp.

Liu Yansun, the governor of Taiyuan, did not come, and the governors of Lishi County, Longquan County, Loufan County and other places who heard the news did not come.

Even the Taiyuan Wang family didn't come over.

The queen and others seemed to have been forgotten by the world.

"Evil bird! Shameless villain, daring evil bird!" Jiang Yan threw the dishes and cursed.

He originally thought that once he entered Taiyuan, he would immediately be supported by officials to ascend the throne and rebuild the Jin Dynasty.

But the reality gave him a slap in the face, no one came to support him to ascend the throne, and everyone forgot about him.

He even brought people to the door to find those officials, but everyone was avoiding him, and everyone refused to see him.

As if he is a latrine, whoever touches him will be covered in shit.

He understood that it must have been done by that evil bird, that he must have threatened those officials.

definitely is!
