The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 158 The Traitor King Conspires to Rebel and Urge the Great Ruler
Ding Xuan also plucked up his courage and begged: "Yes, General Fan must convince him that I am still young and don't want to die yet."

Fan Jubei laughed happily when he heard the words: "Haha, good! Since His Majesty and the Empress Dowager are so aware of current affairs, even if the last general bears the eternal infamy, he will definitely persuade Vice King Li."

Yang Yun'e nodded, "The Ai family would like to thank General Fan. I don't know how General Fan intends to persuade him, but do I need to do anything?"

Fan Jubei thought for a while, and said: "The general thinks that this matter is not difficult, as long as he goes to His Majesty in person tomorrow morning, presents the Zen seat to General Li in public, and then the general will lead all the officials to persuade him to move in, presumably he will not shirk. "

Ding Xuan laughed happily when he heard the words, and he was about to take off the dragon robe and the imperial power, which did not bring him the slightest frustration.At this moment, he only has one obsession in his heart, that is, the lives of their mother and child can finally be saved!

The next day, the palace hall.

Ding Xuan hadn't been to court for a long time, if it wasn't for the Zen seat, he wouldn't want to sit on this cold dragon chair early in the morning to meet these strangers in the hall who looked at him with contempt.Especially today, these strangers who made him afraid and annoyed, all of them had dignified and anxious faces, gathered in the hall to form a condensed group, which suppressed him so much that he couldn't even breathe. .

Li Huan, with a horse knife on his waist, stood beside Ding Xuan, his expression was completely different from that of the officials in the palace, and there was a faint smile in his calmness.He looked down at the officials in the palace, his eyes were full of arrogance, as if he was the master of Quyue.

At this time, a middle-aged general walked out of the martial arts class, came to Ding Xuan and bowed to salute, "Your Majesty, now that the 15 troops of the Song Dynasty are overwhelming, how does Your Majesty think that I, Qu Yue, should deal with it?"

Ding Xuan didn't know how to answer, and was about to look at Li Huan beside him, but Li Huan had already said: "General Wang, Song Guo took advantage of the civil strife in Quyue to try to get involved in our Quyue territory. It is really abhorrent. This king If you want to lead a large army to resist, the Song army will definitely be defeated, and they will not dare to invade our border again for a hundred years!"

Wang Shaozuo nodded, "Since the vice king is willing to fight back the enemy in person and is determined to defeat the Song army, it seems that I am too worried. When the vice king goes out in the future, we will go through fire and water with you to defend the splendor of Qu Yue Heshan!"

Seeing that Li Huan wanted to lead his troops to fight against the enemy in person, all the officials in the palace breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere eased a lot in an instant.Seeing this, Li Huan sighed slightly: "Oh, it's just that your majesty is young and unable to govern. If the king leaves, if any of his colleagues in the court follow Ruan Gen and Ding Dian's example and intend to rebel, it will be detrimental to your majesty. What should I do?"

All the ministers look at me, I look at you, no one knows who Li Huanyan is trying to plot against.But they all believed in one thing, and that was that Li Huan was definitely not alarmist at this time, because in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there must be someone who would deceive the emperor into rebellion when he was young, and there was no guarantee that he would not become an accomplice.After all, everyone understands the principle that a good minister chooses the master and serves him. How can anyone really be willing to assist a weak and uninitiated yellow-mouthed child to become the emperor?
Fan Jubei took the opportunity to leave the class and said: "Vice King, what you said is reasonable. Your Majesty is young now, and you have to rely on you for everything in the court. Once you lead the generals to the frontier, if someone really takes the opportunity to feel disobedient, If you intend to murder His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, don’t you become a sinner through the ages?”

Li Huan said helplessly: "General Fan, I don't want to be such a sinner through the ages, but the situation is urgent now. Apart from this king personally leading the troops, who can guarantee victory against the Song army?"

Fan Jubei took a look at Ding Xuan, and then knelt down on the ground with a "gudong", "Your Majesty, I risked my life to admonish you. If Your Majesty agrees, I can keep Qu Yue safe and sound, and the lives of Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager will be safe!"

Ding Xuan shook her little hand and said, "Fan Qing's family, please stand up and speak."

Fan Jubei raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, you are still young, and you are in a crisis that I, Qu Yue, have not encountered in decades. Forgive me for speaking bluntly, with your ability, you will never be able to save the day. If you are willing to watch Qu Yue The more you are destroyed because of you, you and the Queen Mother are willing to perish together with Qu Yue. As subjects, we dare not say anything. But if you don't want to see such a tragedy happen, the only plan for now is to give the throne to the Vice King !"

Ding Xuan seemed to have been prepared for a long time. As soon as Fan Jubei finished speaking, he quickly stood up, held up the jade seal on the Longshu table with both hands, and said to Li Huan: "Vice king, I am young now, and I am not worthy of virtue. If I become Qu Yuezhi again Lord, not only will Qu Yue be destroyed, but even the lives of me and the Queen Mother will be difficult to save. I also hope that the deputy king will accept my abdication and save the lives of me and Qu Yue for the sake of the late emperor's kindness to you!"

The officials in the hall were surprised at first when they saw this, but after thinking about it, it made sense, if Li Huan became the emperor of Quyue, he would be a hundred times stronger than Ding Xuan, and then they all echoed in unison: "Your Majesty is wise, we are willing Let the vice king of Li be the emperor, and together we will protect the mountains and rivers of Quyue forever, and the people will be safe and healthy!"

After saying that, everyone knelt down and shouted to Li Huan: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Li Huan shook his head quickly, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, colleagues, what are you going to do? I, Li Huan, was able to gain the trust of the late Emperor and Your Majesty, and was promoted from a small general to today's Vice King, which is already a great blessing. How dare I try to proclaim myself emperor again? Are you trying to trap me, Li Huan, for being unkind and unrighteous? If you force me like this again, I, Li Huan, will have to die today!"

"Vice king, are you putting the lives of me and the queen mother at risk for your own reputation? If you don't accept my abdication, I will kneel down for you in front of all the officials today!" Ding Xuan said He actually knelt down in front of Li Huan in public, holding the jade seal high above his head with a pair of small hands.

Seeing this, Li Huan drew out the horse knife from his waist, and resolutely laid it across his neck, "Your Majesty, are you trying to kill this humble minister! Get up quickly and take back the sacred order just now, or this humble minister will die in front of you!" !"

Ding Xuan was afraid that if he insisted, Li Huan would really kill himself. If something happened to Li Huan, whoever resisted the Song army, the 20 Song army would march straight into the palace in a few days.He had no choice but to stand up slowly, "Well, since the vice king is so loyal, I won't force it. But I don't know when the vice king will send troops, and I will personally send you out of the city."

Li Huan thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, it's not too late. Rescuing soldiers is like putting out a fire. I will lead the troops out tomorrow morning. Although I dare not trouble Your Majesty to send them off, I hope Your Majesty can restrain the ministers and prevent rebellion after I leave. , Gu Hualu, the wish of a humble minister is enough!"
