Three Kingdoms: I will act as a substitute for the Hunjun

Chapter 153 The Yuan Dynasty Meeting

Liu Ming subconsciously touched his body, trying to find some change to give to his father-in-law as a lucky gift, but then he smiled. No emperor would carry loose coins with him.

Although there is no such thing as New Year's money in this era, my father-in-law is no better than others. If he kowtows to you during the New Year, it would be unreasonable not to give you a reward.

Then he casually picked up a Ruyi jade placed on the bill, brought it to Feng Fang, and said: "General, please get up. You and I, as a family, don't have to be so polite. I will reward you with this Ruyi jade. I wish the General a happy new year."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Feng Fang burst into tears with gratitude, took the jade Ruyi, kowtowed again and then stood up. Seeing that there were no eunuchs or maids around to take care of her, she poured a cup of hot tea for Liu Ming herself.

"On New Year's Eve, why don't you see Concubine Shu serving your Majesty?" Feng Fang asked curiously, not seeing her daughter.

At the same time, he secretly blames his daughter for being ignorant and leaving His Majesty all alone during the Chinese New Year. Aren't you afraid of falling out of favor if you are so willful?

Liu Ming didn't take it seriously and smiled and said: "Concubine Shu is a little tired and is taking a rest. I have ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare delicious food. Our family will have dinner together tonight."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Feng Fang was greatly moved. At the same time, she was wondering what means her daughter used to make His Majesty so dependent on our family.

"The general guards the palace and does his duty with all his heart. Whether the people in the palace can live a good year depends entirely on the general." Liu Ming pondered for a moment and said suddenly.

Feng Fang was shocked. She didn't know why His Majesty would suddenly say that. She was indeed responsible for guarding the palace. However, His Majesty said it so solemnly, which seemed to mean something. She could only say ambiguously: "Your Majesty said something serious, I feel ashamed." My Lord, with His Majesty’s majestic majesty guarding you, the palace is as stable as Mount Tai, and no one dares to cause trouble.”

"Tomorrow, on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, all the court officials will come to the palace to see and celebrate." Liu Ming continued, "It is related to the weather of the country and the country for a year. There must be no mistakes inside and outside the palace. Without my will, no troops will be allowed to enter." Palace! Could you possibly do it?!"

"That's natural." Feng Fang said matter-of-factly, "Without His Majesty's will, I will naturally not let other soldiers enter the palace."

"What if Jian Shuo wants to lead troops into the palace? What if Xia Mou, Zhao Rong, Bao Hong and other Xiyuan troops want to enter the palace?" Liu Ming glared at Feng Fang.

"This..." Feng Fang hesitated, "Jian Shuo is the superior officer of the last general. He has the authority to mobilize the troops in the palace and even the last general. The Xiyuan Military Camp of Xia, Zhao and Bao is connected to the imperial palace..."

"What did I just tell you?" Liu Ming's tone became stern, "If you can do it, we will still have a reunion dinner tonight. If you can't do it, tonight will be your decapitation dinner!"

Feng Fang was so frightened that she fell to her knees and finally realized the seriousness of the matter. Cold sweat rolled down her forehead and she said in a trembling voice: "Without His Majesty's will, Weichen will never let anyone's troops enter the palace. Weichen will never let anyone's troops enter the palace." The soldiers and horses under my command will not accept transfers from anyone except Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please feel free to preside over the Yuan Dynasty!"

"Very good. Just guard the palace gate. You don't have to worry about anything that happens in the palace. I will solve it myself!" Liu Ming further instructed.

Feng Fang felt that something big was going to happen in the palace, and it was most likely related to Jian Shuo. Could it be that Jian Shuo was planning a coup? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.

At this time, Concubine Shu Feng Fangnu came out and saw her father kneeling on the ground in fear, while His Majesty seemed to be lecturing behind his hands.

He couldn't help but said in surprise: "Your Majesty, father, what are you..."

"My beloved concubine came just in time." Liu Ming said with a smile, "I was asking the father-in-law if he would like to have a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve."

When Feng Fang heard the word "Guozhang", he couldn't help but trembled. Not every concubine's father could be called the "Guozhang". Only the father of the empress in the palace could be called the father-in-law of a serious emperor.

Could it be said that after this matter is settled, the daughter is expected to be promoted to queen? Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but become eager.

When Concubine Shu heard this, her heart surged with enthusiasm. She took a few steps forward and said with a sweet smile: "Of course we are going to have a reunion dinner. Is there any other choice? Father, do you think so?"

"Yes, yes! Of course we want to have the reunion dinner." Feng Fang wiped the sweat from her forehead and responded hurriedly.

"Get up and get ready to eat!" Liu Ming said and raised his hand to help Feng Fang up.

So the three of them had dinner together around the round table.

In fact, Liu Ming couldn't eat much anymore. He had just eaten and drank with Concubine Shu at noon, and consumed less than half a tael of essence. In the afternoon, he ate and drank a lot in the military camp. It had only been about an hour since he came back from the military camp, and now he had another meal. here we go.

I have to say that this imperial life is really boring.

Feng Fang had something on her mind and was restless. After eating a little symbolically, she left.

After returning to the camp, immediately prepare troops and horses and strengthen protection, just in case.

After drinking, Liu Ming and Concubine Shu, accompanied by the palace maids and eunuchs, went around the palace to play. After hearing about it, other concubines came out to play with the emperor one after another, hoping to gain His Majesty's favor on this beautiful occasion.

A huge team of visitors soon formed.

There hasn't been such a harmonious atmosphere in the palace for a long time, but this did make Concubine Shu Feng Fang Nu feel a little wary. Your Majesty must not be taken away by some vixen. The promised New Year's Eve battle, if the battlefield is changed, the situation is changed. It would be bad if you hit the target.

As long as the emperor wants to play, there are actually many things to play in the palace. After all, the foundation laid by Emperor Ling is still there, and the most indispensable thing is entertainment.

Today, Liu Ming is no different than before. Seeing so many concubines by his side, he will never run away again. He embraces them from left to right and laughs heartily, which is extremely comfortable.

No one in the palace could restrict him anymore. He believed that even if he brought these concubines together, Jian Shuo would not interfere again.

As soon as he thought of Jian Shuo, Shi A sent him news about Jian Shuo.

The result of their agreement was that Xia Mou and Zhao Rong would not attend the audience tomorrow, and would lead their troops to strictly guard the capital to prevent the Baibo Army and the Black Mountain Army from surrendering and mutiny outside the city.

Bao Hong led troops into the palace in the name of safeguarding the safety of the officials at the Yuan Dynasty meeting in the palace. At that time, Wu Qiong, the captain of the city gate school, would report and confer Jian Shuo as prime minister, commanding the military and political power of the Han Dynasty.

If the emperor allows it, then Jian Shuo will further achieve monopoly of power. If the emperor does not allow it, then Bao Hong will lead his troops to the palace to give military remonstrance and force the emperor to issue an edict.

Pan Yin will hand over Jian Shuo's handwriting and a heavy gift to Feng Fang, instructing him to let Bao Hong's troops enter the palace at that time. Pan Yin will also tell Zhang Liao that new troops will come in to garrison, so that he should not have any doubts, no matter what. Whatever happens, just stay put and so on.

Liu Ming sneered, it seems that the thief has a big plan this time.

Obviously, he already knew that discussing with Liu Ming could no longer solve the problem. Liu Ming would never give him the position of prime minister, so he came up with this recruitment advice.

Not only was he forcing Liu Ming, the substitute, but he was also demonstrating to the ministers in the DPRK, asking them to submit obediently.

In his opinion, the only troops and horses that are not under their control now are the tens of thousands of surrendered troops outside the city and the three hundred dark horse loyal followers in the palace. As long as Bao Hong leads the troops into the palace, everything can be easily solved.

They still think too simply. Liu Ming saw that it was almost the third watch and there were important things to do tomorrow, so he asked the concubines to go back to the palace to rest, while he and Concubine Shu returned to Changle Palace to get familiar with it.

Liu Ming was in a good mood, but it was impossible to say there was no pressure, so he regained his strength and released the pressure, starting the New Year's Eve battle.

In this era, there is no sound of firecrackers to bid farewell to the old year. Fortunately, the crackling sound is also constant in the brocade tent, adding a touch of nostalgia to this dead New Year's Eve.

After Liu Ming fulfilled his promise of "fighting for two years", he fell into a deep sleep.

……

As soon as he got dressed the next day, Zhang Liao came in and reported quietly that Pan Yin had found him in the morning, and Jian Shuo wanted to send Bao Hong's Xiyuan Army into the palace and station it near Changle Palace to protect His Majesty and prevent Zhang Liao's death. Doubtful, stand still.

Zhang Liao asked for instructions on what to do. Should he kill this army?
Liu Ming nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Ignore it, everything will proceed as planned."

"According to the decree!" Seeing that the emperor was as stable as a mountain, Zhang Liao felt at ease and left with fists in his hands.

After a while, Feng Fang ran over in person.

"What are you doing here without guarding the palace gate?" Liu Ming had already guessed his purpose.

Feng Fang's coming proves that everything is worry-free. If Feng Fang doesn't come, it will be a problem.

Just as Pan Yin has not come to Liu Ming to report the news, it has already explained a lot of problems. This person finally chose Jian Shuo. Perhaps in his view, after this action, the emperor will completely lose power and lose control of the DPRK. The ability to control the situation in the hall and the entire world, and there is no possibility of a comeback.

And Jian Shuo will become the actual controller of the Han Dynasty, so it is only natural for him to choose to side with the strong.

He turned to Liu Ming before, partly because he was intimidated by Liu Ming and had some control over him, and partly because he still felt that Liu Ming had hope of turning around. But now, when this hope disappeared, he put his treasure on Jian. Shuo here.

"Your Majesty is wise." Feng Fang's face showed admiration. "Just now, Pan Yin came to the minister and said that Bao Hong was ordered by Jian Shuo to bring his subordinates into the palace to protect the Yuan Dynasty meeting. He also took out Jian Shuo's Handwriting.”

"How did the general respond?" Liu Ming said.

"Wei Chen said that the Yuan Dynasty meeting was extremely important. Without His Majesty's will, no soldiers and horses could enter the palace." Feng Fang said with a look of asking for credit, "Pan Yin failed to intimidate him, and he took out the heavy gift from Jian Shuo. Wei Chen He didn't accept it, he just said that he didn't see the decree and didn't send troops into the palace. Pan Yin finally left angrily. Wei Chen was worried that Jian Shuo would act disobediently, so he came here to remind His Majesty."

"Very good, continue to guard the palace gate." Liu Ming praised and said, "Of course, don't affect the passage of the ministers to attend the court meeting."

"Wei Chen understands." After saying that, Feng Fang hurried away.

……

Let's say that Jian Shuo had packed up and was about to enter the palace to attend the Yuan Dynasty meeting. Suddenly Pan Yin rushed over out of breath and said: "General, something bad happened."

"Why are you so alarmed?" Jian Shuo said displeased. Now that the situation is under control, are there any unforeseen events?

Today, the Japanese general will transform into the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, holding the sun, moon, heaven and earth in his hands, deciding life and death with one word, and no one will be able to check him anymore.

If the substitute is disobedient, just like the real emperor said, he will be eradicated directly. At that time, the emperor will definitely have the final say to abolish the throne.

This prime minister is the world, and the world is my prime minister, so what else is wrong?
"Feng Fang, the dog thief, did not allow Bao Hong's soldiers and horses to enter the palace. He said that it was His Majesty's order. Without His Majesty's will, no soldiers and horses are allowed to enter the palace." Pan Yin reported.

Jian Shuo's face suddenly became very ugly, and he said solemnly: "Did he read the general's handwriting?"

"After reading it, he said that he only recognized His Majesty's will." Pan Yin added.

"This thief has rebelled against heaven." Jian Shuo said angrily, "I want to see how brave he is, general!"

He immediately walked towards the palace gate in a luxurious carriage, followed closely by Pan Yin cautiously.

When they arrived in front of the Nangong Gate, they found that Bao Hong had brought his soldiers and horses here, but he was unable to enter. Feng Fang's soldiers and horses in front blocked him, but the ministers of the previous court could pass through without hindrance.

Jian Shuo got out of the car and looked up at the palace wall. He saw dazzling swords and guns, and Feng Fang standing there majesticly.

"General Feng has such great official authority!" Jian Shuo said in a high-pitched voice, "All the imperial troops in the West Garden are controlled by this general. How dare you disobey the military order? Come on, capture Feng Fang!"

With Jian Shuo's support, Bao Hong immediately became more courageous. He raised his hand high and was about to order his subordinates to forcefully break into the palace, but he heard the sound of bow strings creaking and pulling on the palace wall one after another.

Looking up, I saw bows and arrows poking out of the crenels, aiming at them.

"General Jian, I'm offended." Feng Fang shouted loudly from above, "Your Majesty has an order. Without His Majesty's will, no troops are allowed to enter the palace."

Jian Shuo almost exploded with anger. The Xiyuan Army itself was under his command. He could mobilize it however he wanted. When did he need some fucking emperor's decree?
Including how did you, Feng Fang, enter Nangong? Didn’t this general transfer you from Xiyuan Military Camp?
It's better now, your wings are strong, you dare to fight against this general. Are you really not able to tell who is older and who is younger?

At this time, many ministers entered the palace to attend the court meeting, and when they saw this scene, they stopped to watch.

Jian Shuo didn't want to be forceful, so he said: "Since you can't get in through the main entrance, let's go to the Xiyuan Military Camp first, enter the North Palace from the military camp, and then enter the Nangong."

When Feng Fang heard this, he immediately poured a basin of cold water on their heads to stop their delusions and said: "The passage between the North Palace and the South Palace has been blocked, and no soldiers or horses are allowed to pass."

"You..." Jian Shuo said angrily, "Okay, just wait, this general will go to His Majesty to ask for orders. Of course, there will also be an order to dismiss you from your post and hold you accountable."

After that, he took Pan Yin and rushed into the palace angrily, and went straight to Qufei Hall where the court meeting was held.

However, he saw five hundred soldiers lined up in front of the hall, a white-faced general with two swords hanging on his waist, and his eyes were warily looking at the courtiers entering the hall.

"Originally, there were no troops deployed in front of the central hall. What's going on?" Jian Shuo asked in a deep voice.

Pan Yin shook his head, then lowered his voice and said: "General, please look, this is the person your majesty brought back from Hanoi."

Jian Shuo stood there thoughtfully. It seemed that the substitute was already alert, so what should he do?
