Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 648 Gao Shun Appears (Second Update)

In the Longevity Palace, the Empress Dowager Liu, Zhao Wang Yuan Tan, and An Wang Yuan Shang are all here.

Looking at Cheng Erhu who was following Zhuge Liang, Liu frowned and said, "Master Zuo, are you planning to threaten Aijia by bringing General Huben here today?"

"I dare not!" Zhuge Liang and Cheng Erhu knelt down immediately when they heard this.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liu said solemnly: "The emperor's retreat, Daxi needs someone to preside over it. The Ai family is very aware of your ability and talent, and has no intention of revoking your position, but there are some things that only the descendants of the Yuan family can do." Make the decision, tomorrow he is the eldest son of the direct line, and he has made great achievements in military affairs. He has the demeanor of his father in both literary and martial arts. Could it be that Zuo doesn't trust him?"

"No, Empress Dowager." Zhuge Liang raised his head immediately, and said sincerely, "The talent of King Yan is a hundred times higher than that of my subjects, but since His Majesty is still here, how can King Yan become the main center?"

"Why not, since ancient times, when His Majesty was not around, the prince supervised the country," Yuan Tan said in a deep voice.

"King Zhao, the King of Yan is the King of Yan, not the prince." Zhuge Liang corrected seriously. Although the prince and the prince are separated by one step, they are separated by heaven and earth. , but the kings do not have this qualification.

"Master Zuo, can it be? According to this king, it seems that no one is more qualified than King Yan." Yuan Shang also smiled.

Zhuge Liang shook his head, cupped his hands at Liu Shi and said, "Queen Mother, I am definitely not greedy for the power of the center, and I have no such ability at all. The Queen Mother should know that the world was brought down by His Majesty. The twelve coaches of Daxi, with a million The officers and soldiers only have His Majesty in their hearts, and there are also the Military Commander, Jin Yiwei, the Third Division Yamen, and Gao Shuai, Daxi's world, the royal family is supreme, and the Queen Mother can directly abolish the minister with a decree."

Liu's face was startled, and Zhuge Liang was abolished. She never thought about it. After all, Daxi can have the prosperity it is today.

"Left Prime Minister, don't get excited, the Ai family has already said that you will never be allowed to move your position," Liu said softly.

"Thank you for the trust of the Empress Dowager." After Zhuge Liang was grateful, he solemnly said: "King Yan is indeed a great man, but if His Majesty returns in the future, how should King Yan deal with himself? And once King Yan returns, will the kings have any thoughts? Your Majesty has said that a dragon has nine sons, and the sons are different, as long as one prince is unwilling, there will be a storm, and even a dispute between the kings."

Liu's pupils shrank, and he hesitated in his heart.

"Empress Dowager, at this time, I, Daxi, is leading the two empires to fight against Rome. Although Zhou Yu, the general who conquered the West, has won several games in a row, Rome's foundation has not been lost. It may soon need the support of the three kingdoms of Northern Yan, Western Chu, and Southern Jin. , The Three Kingdoms have just been established and their foundations are not stable, if the king of Yan is now in charge of the center, it will greatly affect the situation in Beiyan," Zhuge Liang said solemnly here.

Hearing this, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan became serious.

Mrs. Liu frowned. Although he liked Yuan Ming the most, at this time, she didn't want to show favoritism, but she was worried that the country her son had worked so hard for would be occupied by others, and people's hearts were unpredictable. Over time, I am afraid there will be problems.

After pondering for a while, Yuan Tan said: "What Prime Minister Zuo said is also reasonable, so why not do this, the matter of King Yan is postponed, but the position of the Privy Council, I think it's better to hand it over to Feng Taichang for the time being."

"No!" Zhuge Liang was startled.

"Left Prime Minister, could it be that you are thinking about the love of the same family, or the three of you have united long ago?" Seeing that Zhuge Liang was anxious, Yuan Tan asked directly.

"King Zhao misunderstood. The Privy Council is in charge of Daxi's million-strong army. Although Feng Taichang is highly resourceful, he has never been involved in it. Many things and personnel are completely unknown. If Yuanzhi is replaced at this time, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the army." Zhuge Liang quickly explained.

"Master Zuo, you are worrying too much, it's not that Xu Zhengyuan was dismissed from his post, he can still assist Feng Taichang," Yuan Shang laughed.

"King An, Yuanzhi has made great achievements in battle. Since Youzhou, he has followed His Majesty all the way. He is loyal and diligent, and plans all directions. His qualifications are older than Liang. He has worked hard in the Privy Council for more than ten years, assisting Prime Minister Liang. There is nothing wrong with that. How could he be demoted like this?" Zhuge Liang sighed.

"It's okay, the Queen Mother will compensate him," Yuan Tan said with a blank expression.

Looking at Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang who vowed to seize the military power, Cheng Erhu, who was kneeling beside him, his face darkened, and suddenly said coldly: "You two princes, when your majesty left, you made it very clear that all the power of government and government will be handed over to Prime Minister Zuo. This is what the general heard with his own ears, so the two forcibly intervene, isn't it a violation of the emperor's order?"

"You're presumptuous." Hearing this, Yuan Tan immediately said angrily.

"It's the prince who is presumptuous! It's only been a long time since His Majesty left, and some people have become disobedient. The last general wants to say, don't take His Majesty's kindness as the capital of unscrupulous people. There is only one ending for such a person." Cheng Erhu Meng stood up, said coldly.

"You!" While Yuan Tan was angry, there was also a trace of fear in his heart.

"General Huben, you are presumptuous, and you still don't kneel down." Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Shi whose face was getting ugly, and immediately cursed angrily after being startled.

Cheng Erhu gritted his teeth and knelt down again.

"Queen Mother, General Huben is impulsive, but he is absolutely loyal to His Majesty in his heart," Zhuge Liang said immediately.

"Huh..." Mrs. Liu smiled coldly, and said, "It seems that once Xi'er left, the royal family's prestige has really decreased."

Zhuge Liang's face froze, the queen mother seemed really angry.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, Commander-in-Chief, please see me" At this moment, a palace maid ran in.

After everyone was stunned, Liu waved and said, "Let Shuai Gao come in."

"promise!"

After a while, with a straight face, Gao Shun in armor walked in step by step. After glancing at the people in the hall, he kowtowed and said, "Greetings to the Empress Dowager and the two princes."

"Gaoshuai, don't be too polite," Liu said with a light wave.

"Empress Xie" After Gao Shun got up, Zhuge Liang asked doubtfully, "Gao Shuai, aren't you stationed at Hulao Pass?"

Gao Shun cupped his hands and said: "Two days ago, this commander received an order from His Majesty from the military command. From today onwards, [-] troops will be stationed on the side of the god capital to guard the royal family. At the same time, the kings of Yan, Chu, and Jin are strictly ordered to station Local people are not allowed to return to Beijing, other kings stay in the mansion to study and wait for the test."

"What?" Liu was startled.

"Gao Shuai, His Majesty said it himself," Yuan Tan said seriously.

"There is Jiao Shuai's letter as evidence." Gao Shun took out a letter from his arms.

After Zhuge Liang on the side took it, he took a closer look and said to Liu: "Queen Mother, this is indeed Jiao Shuai's notes. Jiao Shuai is the number one minister of Qianlong and the number one commander of Daxi. His loyalty to His Majesty is absolute. Undoubtedly”

After taking it for a look, Mrs. Liu looked at Gao Shun, and immediately sighed, "If that's the case, I'm tired and handsome."

"The Queen Mother is serious, this is what I should do," Gao Shun said immediately.

Mrs. Liu nodded, then waved her hand and said, "The Ai family is a little tired, you all step back!"

"promise!"

After leaving the Hall of Longevity, Zhuge Liang looked at Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang who left coldly, and said gratefully to Gao Shun, "Gao Shun, thanks to you this time."

"The Prime Minister Zuo is being polite. This Commander is also acting according to orders. In fact, the military commander and Jin Yiwei have been paying attention to the situation of the imperial court, and have already spread everything to Tianshan. But even so, Prime Minister Zuo himself should pay attention. In fact, the two princes have no soldiers and no power. , I don't have any bad intentions, I'm just worried that too much power will affect Daxi," Gao Shun comforted with a smile.

"Liang understands, but now that Commander Gao is here, the Queen Mother and the others should feel more at ease, and Liang can relax a lot," Zhuge Liang said with a wry smile.
