The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 726 725

Chen Qun respectfully walked up to the Queen Mother Gongsun, bowed to the Queen Mother Gongsun again, and said, "Queen Gongsun, this is the last time I will treat you courteously, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer tonight, Then everyone around you will die one by one because of you. Do you have the heart to see so many people die for you?"

Empress Dowager Gongsun showed a hint of surprise on her face, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"It's very simple, if you cooperate with me, then I will kill those court ladies who have dressed you one by one in front of you, until you change your mind!" Chen Qun said.

"You...you are despicable!" After hearing this, the Queen Mother Gongsun suddenly felt horrified. She still couldn't do it if she wanted to kill so many people in front of her and watch them die for her.

After a while, the Empress Dowager Gongsun sat down on the seat like a deflated ball, and the tit-for-tat confrontation with Chen Qun just now disappeared completely, and said with a sneer: "My family has been killed by you, I'm the only one left to live in this world, I've already had enough of this life, you can do whatever you want! Don't let me see more people die..."

"The empress dowager means..."

"I will do whatever you say, but I have one condition!" Queen Mother Gongsun said.

"Now you, what right do you have to negotiate terms with us?" Xu Sheng interjected.

Chen Qun said: "Don't be rude, let the Queen Mother finish the sentence."

The Empress Dowager Gongsun said: "I am a girl, so death is not a pity, but your majesty is still a child, he doesn't understand anything, I beg you to let your majesty live, don't kill your majesty... as long as you agree to this one condition, you will let me die." I do what I do."

Xu Chu and Xu Sheng both looked at Chen Qun. Chen Qun frowned and pondered for a moment, and then said: "Originally cutting the weeds is to get rid of the roots, but your majesty is still a child who doesn't understand anything. I can promise you After this request is fulfilled, I will pray that His Majesty will be sent out of the palace to be raised by an ordinary family. However, I will announce to the public that His Majesty has passed away, and His Majesty will also change his name. From then on, I will not bother him again. As for the Empress Dowager...you know too many things, even if I am willing to let you go, the other ministers are not willing, as for how to deal with you, I have to wait for the minister to discuss with the regent before making a decision!"

"I am already a walking dead. I am no longer afraid of life and death. Since Mr. Chen can keep His Majesty safe, I will agree to your request. Tell me, what should I do?" Although the Queen Mother Gongsun is young, she is a People who understand, after Gongsun's rebellion in Liaodong, all families were executed, the Queen Mother Gongsun has long regarded herself as a dead person.If it weren't for Liu Feng's relationship, the Queen Mother Gongsun would have committed suicide long ago.

Every woman has a kind of motherhood by nature. Seeing that Liu Feng is pitiful, she shoulders the responsibility of raising Liu Feng. Now Liu Feng is three years old, and he is still a playful child. The Queen Mother Gongsun did not let him read and write, but let him play wantonly. However, even if Liu Feng does nothing all his life, it is better than arousing suspicion and losing his life.

The Empress Dowager Gongsun promised Chen Qun to help them abdicate the throne to Zhang Yan.When Chen Qun got the good news, he went back with Xu Chu and Xu Sheng to announce the good news to the ministers who were accomplices.At the same time, we should also discuss the matter of the abdication ceremony.

In the end, everyone unanimously decided that the abdication ceremony must be held before the capital was moved, because they wanted the new capital to be the residence of the new emperor.

The matter of moving the capital has been lingering in their minds, and these ministers all understand that as long as Zhang Yan puts forward the matter, it will not be long before it will be realized.Moreover, they obstructed the transfer of the capital, not all because of their own property in Pengcheng, one of the most important reasons was the change of dynasty.

Compared with the matter of moving the capital, the change of dynasty is the most important thing, and it is also what they want to accomplish. Everyone has selfishness, and everyone will get more benefits because of the change of dynasty, so this kind of voice is in Among the many ministers, he is the highest.

Therefore, everyone had to make some arrangements for the holding of the abdication ceremony and the details of all aspects, and Zhang Yan must not let Zhang Yan know, otherwise, everything will be in vain.

Since Chen Qun actively recruited Xu Sheng, the Commander of Jinyiwei, and General Xu Chu, the two key figures, as long as they didn't leak the secret to Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan would never know about it.

Everyone kept discussing until it was time to go to the morning court, and then came out of Chen Qun's mansion one after another, and then went to the morning court together. As for everything that happened last night, no one mentioned it again, as if it didn't happen at all Same thing.

……

Zhuge Liang was originally the prefect of Liaodong. Zhang Yan Nanzheng transferred Zhuge Liang to his side. After the southern expedition, Zhang Yan did not let Zhuge Liang leave, but let him stay in Pengcheng as the prefect of Liaodong and continue to do some things for him.

However, Zhuge Liang had no mansion in Pengcheng, and he did not have a family and business. He was alone, so he temporarily lived in the mansion of his brother Zhuge Jin, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Last night, Zhuge Liang's proposal was approved by the regent Zhang Yan, and he was allowed to move the capital in an orderly manner according to the established plan.And he was appointed as the director of the office of moving the capital by Zhang Yan. He was full of joy, but he did not lose his mind.

Because Zhuge Liang knew that moving the capital was a matter of great importance, and the things involved were very complicated. Although Zhang Yan gave him the title of director of the capital moving office, the size of the capital moving office was large or small, and how many people he had under his command. Zhang Yan didn't say anything.

This also made Zhuge Liang lose his confidence, and decided to ask Zhang Yan about the early affairs of the court to implement the details.Since he wants to move the capital, he must be given the manpower he can use, and the interests involved in moving the capital are very extensive, even the important ministers of the dynasty cannot be spared. If this matter is not resolved properly, it is very likely that he will be offended It was not until Zhuge Liang returned to his elder brother's mansion that the important officials in the court felt that the office of moving the capital might be a thankless job.

But Zhuge Liang has already picked it up, so he can only bite the bullet and walk all the way to the dark.

Originally, Zhuge Liang wanted to discuss this matter with his elder brother Zhuge Jin, because his brother had been the prefect of Mount Tai for many years, and now he is the young minister of Dali Temple. Zhuge Jin has something to go out tonight.

Zhuge Liang waited until midnight, but didn't wait for Zhuge Jin, so he simply went back to sleep.

However, Zhuge Liang had something on his mind, and he couldn't sleep, so he lost sleep.

Seeing that it was almost time for the morning court, Zhuge Liang was still lying down, having nothing to do, so he got dressed early, left the gate of the mansion, and headed for Yan Wang's mansion.

The early dynasty started only recently, and it was held by the Regent Zhang Yan. The ministers who came to participate were not civil and military officials, but only those ministers nominated by Zhang Yan. Most of these nominated by Zhang Yan were The important ministers in the court, all three provinces and six ministries, are also the main officials in the current court. It is a special case for officials like Zhuge Liang to participate in the early court. It was approved by Zhang Yan. Morning balance.

After Zhuge Liang came out of Zhugejin's mansion, he walked aimlessly on the street alone, because the internal division of Pengcheng is relatively concentrated, and the residential area where officials live is completely different from the residential area where ordinary people live. The residential area is in the inner city, while the common people live in the outer city. However, because Zhuge Jin arrived in Pengcheng later, he did not have a place in the official's residential area, and could only live in the common people's residential area in the outer city.

Therefore, if Zhuge Liang wanted to participate in the early dynasty, he had to first enter the inner city from the outer city, and then enter the imperial city from the inner city.

Originally, each area was blocked by city gates. It was impossible to open the gates of the outer city at such an early time. However, due to the continuous transfer of officials from other places to Pengcheng in recent years, the original inner city residential area is not enough, so we have to Outer cities are not open.

Along the way, Zhuge Liang encountered three or four officials who were going to court one after another. They either sat in carriages or took soft sedan chairs, and they all came out of different streets in the outer city and entered the inner city through the city gate. , but Zhuge Liang was the only one who walked over with his feet.

When Zhuge Liang passed the city gate, he showed his badge to the officials guarding the city, and then entered the inner city. After entering the inner city, the officials he met had already gone away, but when Zhuge Liang passed a very When he entered the big mansion, his eyes couldn't help but light up, because he saw his elder brother Zhuge Jin walking out of the mansion, and then walked towards the imperial city in a soft sedan chair.

He wanted to catch up quickly, but when he had just walked two or three steps, he found an official coming out of the mansion and heading towards the imperial city in a soft sedan waiting outside.

Zhuge Liang knew that person, it was Zhang Zhao, Minister of Dali Temple.Immediately afterwards, Yang Biao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Hua Xin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Lang, the censor of the capital, Gu Yong, the censor of the deputy capital, Dong Zhao, the censor of the left capital, Xu Chu, the general of the Wei, and even Xu Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, all came from the mansion one after another. They came out, or took soft sedan chairs, or took carriages, or rode horses, and left here one after another.

Zhuge Liang frowned, looked at the mansion, and murmured in his heart: "Isn't this the mansion of Chen Qun, Minister of the Household Department? My brother didn't come back all night, so he spent the night here? And those officials, they are all here too. What the hell are they doing here overnight?"

A trace of suspicion surged into Zhuge Liang's mind, and he couldn't help but gasp, thinking to himself: "Could it be that they got together to discuss resisting the move of the capital?"

At this moment, Chen Qun, Minister of the Household Department, walked out of the mansion in a soft sedan and headed for the imperial city.

"No, I have to hurry up and ask my brother what's going on. If they really get together and want to resist moving the capital, isn't it against the intention of the regent? The regent is determined to move the capital." It's very big, and I absolutely can't let my brother get involved in it..."

As soon as he thought of this, Zhuge Liang immediately took three steps and made two steps, chasing after him madly, and chased after Zhuge Jin who was going away.
