Chapter 289 Zhuge Qinglan: I am such an old majesty?
"The barbarians rebelled, Dong Cao rose again, hundreds of thousands of Liang troops swept across, and His Majesty died!"

Chang'an City, Zhongshu Province.

Zhuge Qinglan looked at the information in his hand with a rare expression of shock.

His Majesty passed away?

How is it possible, with Xun Fang and the Nine-section Staff present, how could His Majesty die?

Zhuge Qinglan sat in his place, reviewing all the news. The barbarians rebelled. As expected, Dong Cao raised his troops, and he also hoped that everything would go according to plan, luring the enemy deep and cutting off the roots.

The eight hundred personal guards who are following His Majesty this time are all trained by Duke Xin. Although Duke Xin is not here, the power that the eight hundred trapped camp can exert, coupled with Wang Chao and Tong Zhan, Even if His Majesty is surrounded by thousands of troops, he can still break out of the encirclement calmly, even if he wants to die.

How could he die?

Wait, why is there no news about Xun Fang in the intelligence?

Xun Fang appears on the battlefield. With his status and strength, whether he is alive or dead, he will appear on the intelligence. Even if he does not know whether he is alive or dead, there will be a saying that he does not know whether he is alive or dead. It is impossible not to say a word.

Yuan family, do you want to stage another drama of supporting the emperor?
Well, I'm just worried that I don't have a chance to do it.

The movements are really fast too.

At this moment, a member of Zhongshushe hurriedly came forward to report.

Because the status of the four people who came here is really high.

"The prince is here? The news spreads really fast." Zhuge Qinglan's eyes dimmed and turned heavy. At the same time, he glanced at the officials of Zhongshu Province like a knife.

Under Zhuge Qinglan's gaze, all the officials in Zhongshu Province turned pale, especially some officials who had strange thoughts. They had been following the Prime Minister for a long time. In their impression, the Prime Minister always had the most wisdom. Yun He was gentle and generous. He never thought that he would lose his temper like this today. Does that mean that His Majesty is really dead?

The three divisions of the East Palace are all figures who stand at the top of Daqi. A random stamp of their feet can shock the officialdom of Daqi.

"Prime Minister!"

It's just that this month, he is afraid that he will imitate his ancestors and work hard and die.

Tian Hao, the Taibao of the Crown Prince and the Censor of Zuodu.

When Zhongshu Sheng saw the visitor, they all bowed.

The prince, tutor and minister of the Ministry of Rites, Ju Wenqing.

When Zhuge Qinglan saw this, his eyes shone a little, and he suddenly understood.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Qinglan's expression became a little heavier, because he suddenly understood that Emperor Qi was not a fool, and Emperor Qi dared to do this. The most important thing was that Chang'an had him, and as long as he was there, Chang'an would not be in chaos.

Aren't you afraid that the situation in the DPRK will be turbulent?
"Prime Minister, the prince is here!"

How come there is no news?

The prince, grand master and head of the Yuan family, Yuan Jue.

The prince arrived so quickly. It was obvious that someone in the Zhongshu Province had tipped off the news.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are very old, do you still do this?
The human heart cannot withstand testing.

Of course, these three people are all behind at the moment, because the one standing in the front is the prince.

The prince came in a hurry from outside, taking three steps and two steps at a time. His fair face was full of anxiety, and he said: "My father, he..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty will tour the west to accept the surrender of the foreign tribes in Xiliang, appease the people of Xiliang, and return it soon." Zhuge Qinglan interrupted the prince's words first. The prince's expression changed slightly, and he vaguely realized something.

Then, before the prince could say anything else, Zhuge Qinglan ordered Zhongshu to send the rest of the people away. Then he looked at the prince and said, "Your Highness, it's too urgent! If word of this gets out, it will cause unnecessary disputes."

"I am desperate. But Prime Minister, is the news true or false? Is my father really dead?" The prince looked directly at Zhuge Qinglan and asked.

"It has not been confirmed yet. Your Highness should calm down and not listen to such unconfirmed rumors. Before leaving, His Majesty handed over the government affairs to the prince to supervise the country. The prince should stabilize the government situation in the face of such rumors." Zhuge Qinglan said. .

"Yes." Looking at Zhuge Qinglan's serious face, the prince said subconsciously.

"Prime Minister, what your Highness is doing now is to stabilize the situation of the court. Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, but if something unexpected happens to His Majesty, what will happen if the country is devastated? Back then, Xiliang kidnapped the late emperor, broke through the border, and was bloody The imperial capital swept through Da Qi, and hundreds of millions of people in Da Qi were tortured by the war. The Song Dynasty took advantage of the situation to plunder them. Did the Prime Minister forget that scene?" The prince responded, but Grand Master Yuan Jue stood up and put forward different opinions.

"I dare not forget it, so the more this happens, the more calm we must be. We must never let the chaos thirty-seven years ago happen again. Those present are all important ministers of the country. They should know that if we are in chaos, Daqi will be How many dangers there are, the prince is young, doesn't the grand master know?" Zhuge Qinglan said sternly, "When your majesty left, he ordered the prince to supervise the country and I will assist in the administration."

Zhuge Qinglan's eyes were sharp. Although he had not taken any action, there was a domineering power in his words, as if a mountain rain was about to come and the sky would collapse.

Yuan Jue's expression changed slightly, but he resisted Zhuge Qinglan's pressure and said: "I naturally know what the Prime Minister said. But the Prime Minister's assistance in politics does not mean that we have no right to participate in politics, does it? Back then, Xiliang rebelled At that time, it was because of insufficient response that the turmoil got out of hand. It even happened that the courtiers supported different princes and fought with each other until the emperor was established. Only then can the court be stabilized, and the rebels will be wiped out with overwhelming force."

"So His Majesty's life and death are unknown, so the Grand Master wants to establish another emperor?" Zhuge Qinglan's pupils dilated, and the pressure on him became even greater.

"Your Majesty has already established a prince, and everyone knows it. Why did he say that he would establish another one?" Yuan Jue asked, "Does the Prime Minister have other ideas? Do you want to wait until the King of Wei and the King of Han come back?"

The prince's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

"The state owns the laws and has more etiquette, rather than the grand master acting recklessly." A bright light flashed in Zhuge Qinglan's eyes, and the pressure around him became stronger and stronger.

Yuan Jue instantly felt as if he was in a violent storm and would be destroyed by the wind and rain at any time.

"Prime Minister, although the incident in Xiliang is not clear at the moment, the news cannot be kept secret for long. It could be as soon as one day or as slowly as three days. The major families in Chang'an City will definitely know the news, and the neighboring countries and rebels may also know it. This is the time for us to work together, and peace is the most important thing, and we should not fight among ourselves anymore, just to make others laugh." Ju Wenqing saw that the atmosphere was heated, and he quickly stepped out of the queue.

Seeing Ju Wenqing appear, Zhuge Qinglan slowly dissipated his aura and said: "What Wenqing said is that His Majesty's situation is unclear now. It is the time for us to work together to overcome the difficulties. The first thing to do now is to blockade The news can only be concealed for a while. Then send people to Xiliang to find out the truth. If the Xiliang army really killed His Majesty, they will definitely go south and tighten the defense of Xiaoguan.

"The Song Dynasty must also be on guard. They already took advantage of the situation and robbed them. Now if they get the news, I'm afraid they will do the same thing." Tian Hao said.

"The Song Dynasty has nothing to worry about. Even if Duke Xin is here, even if he raises 100,000 troops, it is just to give credit to Duke Xin. What we really need to worry about is the Ming Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty. Especially the Qin Dynasty is a country of tigers and wolves. If it were not for peace and harmony back then, If the Han Dynasty is fighting, the fate of Da Qi will be in trouble," Ju Wenqing said with a solemn expression.

"No problem, the current emperor of the Qin Dynasty is about to expire. The descendants of the six kingdoms of the Warring States Period continued to revolt, and they have no time to take care of them. As for the Song and Ming Dynasties, a month ago, a secret place suspected to contain Yue Fei was discovered on the border between the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. Now the Ming Dynasty The ancestors of the imperial palace and Master Zhu from the Confucian Temple of the Song Dynasty have both broken through the barriers. Now they two are afraid that we will attack them," Zhuge Qinglan said.

Among the Six Kingdoms, the Song Dynasty was in the center and bordered the other five countries. It could be said to be the default buffer zone for the remaining five countries.

The remaining five countries are bordered by the other three countries at the same time.

In addition to bordering the Song Dynasty, Da Qi also borders Da Qin and Ming Dynasty.

The luck is relatively good, unlike the Han Dynasty, which borders the two powerful countries of Qin and Tang at the same time.

"In this case, we can ignore these countries for the time being. However, although our Da Qi has no external troubles, there are still internal strife. The three heroes of the late Han Dynasty supported the so-called descendants of Emperor Xian, causing trouble in the world, and there is also the Sima family that has just emerged recently." Ju Wenqing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Invite the six ministers to discuss matters. No matter what, we cannot cause chaos." Zhuge Qinglan said firmly.

Both Ju Wenqing and Tian Hao should do so.

Only Zhongshu Sheng received the news in the morning, but in the afternoon at the Great Wall Market, news of Emperor Qi's death spread, and everyone in the streets knew about it.

Even the King of Wu who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River quickly got the news and dropped everything he was doing. Duke Wu personally took the King of Wu and flew all the way back to Chang'an from the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhang Jingshou, the Ming king of Qing Yongbo's Mansion, directly ordered his troops, led a caravan to escort him, and broke out of the city gate overnight. When Zhuge Qinglan learned the news, he was already in Liangzhou.
