Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 75
Taifu's house.

"Uncle, I just received news that Zhang De has returned from Beihai!" Yuan Shao said.

Yuan Kai bowed his head and pondered for a while, then said: "I said, why did Your Majesty suddenly announce the establishment of the Xiyuan Army? Jian Shuo is just a warrior, so there is nothing to worry about. But this Zhang De is different. I am so afraid that His Majesty is Ming. It will be difficult to hand over the Xiyuan new army to Jian Shuo on the surface, but secretly let Zhang De lead it!"

"Uncle, isn't he the godson of an eunuch? There's nothing to worry about!" Although Zhang De has made great military achievements, in Yuan Shao's eyes, Zhang De is nothing at all.

"At the beginning, don't underestimate this Zhang De. The last time Gonglu and Zhang De went to Wancheng together, look at Gonglu, he came back with a bag of rice dumplings, but Zhang De broke Zhang Mancheng! This Zhang De is not simple! No, we have to find a way to get Zhang De away! We must not let him take charge of the West Garden Army."

Yuan Shao thought for a while, then said: "Uncle, I heard that there are many rogues in Langya recently, why don't we..."

"Langya, isn't that Xuzhou's territory?" Yuan Kai asked.

"Uncle, what does that matter? Anyway, in the poor place of Langya, there is nothing but mountains. That old boy Tao Qian doesn't care at all. Besides, I heard that the bandits in Langya County are very powerful. Tao Qian went to suppress the bandits several times. The one who was killed came back in a big defeat, didn't Zhang De have merit in suppressing the bandits, so let him go to Langya to suppress the bandits!"

……

Zhang De didn't expect that he had only been back for more than two months, and the imperial court sent a decree for Zhang De to lead troops to Langya to suppress the bandits.Zhang De had to say goodbye to Zhang Rang and return to Beihai.

Before leaving, Zhang De repeatedly told Zhang Rang to pay attention to Yuan Shao's movements, and Zhang Rang also agreed to save Zhang Rang's life. Zhang De didn't know if he could save Zhang Rang's life. , and immediately went to take Zhang Rang to Beihai himself.To Zhang De's surprise, due to the early establishment of the Xiyuan Army, history has deviated from the original track.

Ever since Xun You said that Emperor Ling wanted to establish Xie as the Son of Heaven, in the past few months, He Jin seemed to have a stone stuck in his heart, which made He Jin panic!Finally, He Jin decided to test Lingdi.

"Your Majesty, Prince Bian is no longer young, and the old minister thinks that for the sake of our country, Your Majesty should establish a crown prince!" This morning, when He Jin came up, he brought up the matter of establishing a crown prince.Next to him, Yuan Kai glanced at He Jin from the corner of his eye, thinking what happened to He Suigao today, why did he bring this matter up to the court, maybe he heard some rumors.I also try to test!
Thinking of this, Yuan Kai came out and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks what the General said makes sense. Although Your Majesty is in his prime, the two princes are indeed getting older, and it is time to establish a crown prince!" Yuan Wei said very cleverly , just now He Jin only mentioned Liu Bian, but Yuan Kai said that the two princes were obviously trying to test whether Emperor Ling had the intention of establishing a prince.

Only Emperor Ling asked: "I have two princes, do you think we should argue or Xieer?"

After hearing Emperor Ling's question, He Jin and Yuan Kai immediately confirmed that Emperor Ling did intend to establish a crown prince. At this time, the two became quiet instead, and the officials did not speak, they were all guessing Emperor Ling's intentions.

It is common knowledge that Emperor Ling likes Liu Xie, but Liu Bian is the son of Empress He. Even if the eldest son is a descendant, there is He Jin behind him. According to common sense, he will not abolish the elder and establish the younger.But this emperor is not an emperor that can be said according to common sense. Emperor Ling is moody. Except for Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong, no one can guess what Emperor Ling is thinking, so all the officials fell silent.

He Jin saw that everyone was silent, so he winked at Wang Yun, and Wang Yun came out knowingly and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has been a distinction between elder and younger, and the prince is the eldest son, so he should be established as the prince!" After allowing this opening, many important ministers agreed. After all, behind Liu Bian was the great general He Jin, and it was also a common opinion among the scholars at that time to establish the eldest son.

Emperor Ling was unhappy when he heard this. He didn't expect that none of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty supported Liu Xie, but Emperor Ling didn't show it. He just asked, "What do you think of the general and the Taifu?"

"It's all up to His Majesty!" The two said in unison.At this time, both of them were still not sure what Lingdi meant, so they decided to retreat.

"At this time, the matter is very important, and besides, I am still in the prime of my life, in my opinion, let's discuss it now!" Lingdi said.

He Jin and Yuan Kai finally confirmed at this time that Emperor Ling really did not want to make Liu Bian the crown prince, otherwise Emperor Ling would not come to discuss again.Yuan Kai glanced at He Jin gloatingly, and began to calculate silently in his heart. Liu Bian had He Jin backing him, but Liu Xie had no backer. If he supported Liu Bian himself, even if Emperor Ling didn't want to, he would It is still necessary to establish Liu Bian as the prince, but wouldn't that be what the Butcher He meant!And if Liu Xie becomes the prince, His Majesty will definitely find ways to eradicate He Jin. At that time, His Majesty will either rely on the eunuch group like he did when he eradicated Dou Wu, or rely on his own family!
While Yuan Kai was still thinking about how to get the greatest benefit, He Jin's heart was still churning. What should he do? If His Majesty really intends to establish Liu Xie, he might be the first to kill him. It is oneself.What should I do, do I have to sit and wait for death!
After the dynasty was over, Emperor Ling called Zhang Rang to the harem alone.

"Rang father, you also saw today that He Jin is very powerful, and that old man Yuan Kai is a master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles. No one in the civil and military courts mentioned Xie'er, so what should I do?" Lingdi asked.

"Your Majesty, judging from today's situation, it is indeed not optimistic. Although we now have a strong new army in the West Garden to rely on, most of the defenders in the city are in the hands of He Jin. If He Jin is not eliminated, I am afraid that Prince Xie... ..."

"No, I can't go on like this, I don't worry! Father, come here!" Emperor Ling quickly wrote an imperial edict, stuffed it into Zhang Rang's arms, and said, "Father, I will write down this imperial edict first, and establish an agreement." My son is the crown prince, let my father take care of this imperial decree for me first, my health is getting worse day by day, if anything happens to me, let my father, Xie'er will rely on you!"

At this time, a young eunuch standing guard outside the window frowned, shook his lips, and returned to normal.

……

General's House.

"Big Brother, Big Brother! It's not good!" He Miao hurried to He Jinjin.

"Why are you so panicked?" He Jin asked.He Jin is feeling irritable now. In the early court, what the Emperor Ling did made He Jin feel a crisis.But He Jin is not afraid, he still has the last hole card, but now is definitely not the time to use it, but what He Jin is worried about now is Yuan Kui's attitude. If the family supports Liu Xie, then the family plus the eunuch party, I may not really be an opponent.

He Miao leaned close to He Jin's ear and said softly, "Brother, something is wrong. The news just came from the bird room. After the court this morning, His Majesty secretly issued an imperial decree to Zhang Rang. You must make Liu Xie the crown prince! It happened that 'Zi Bing' was waiting in front of His Majesty's bedroom, so I heard about it."
