The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1125 Preemptive Strike
When Jiang Weishang was hesitating, Zhong Hui said from the side: "Now is an extraordinary time, and you should do extraordinary things. The general has been a Han all his life, devoted himself to it, and worried about it. However, the establishment of an heir is such an important matter, and your majesty can't do it like the general. Breathing, it is obvious that His Majesty does not have much trust in the general. If it is true that the king of the Northland succeeds to the throne as rumored, the general's position in the court may be difficult to protect. Therefore, the humble official believes that the general should preemptively strike. Carry out a military remonstrance and ask His Majesty to pass it on to His Highness the Sixth Highness."

"Admonishment?" Jiang Wei's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "How is it different from rebellion to engage in military action without following the holy will? Shi Ji, where do you want to put me when you say this?"

Zhong Hui smiled slightly and said: "The general's words are wrong. Those who seek rebellion are rebellious at heart, and those who advise soldiers are loyal at heart. The means are similar, but the purpose is different. Kneeling remonstrance, weeping remonstrance, blood remonstrance, and military remonstrance are fundamentally all remonstrances of loyalty. Zhuge Cheng was appointed as a teacher at a certain age, and if there are remonstrances, His Majesty should open Zhang Shengting, so as to block the road of loyalty and remonstrance. The general is magnanimous and selfless , righteousness, just like Yiyin Huoguang back then, loyal to the Han, so why worry about anything?"

Zhong Hui put a big hat on Jiang Wei. From Jiang Wei's ears, it is indeed very useful. Although Jiang Wei has been in power for many years in the Shu Han Dynasty and became No.1 as the most powerful emperor, he has never given birth to any children. Rebellious and self-reliant, it can be said that Jiang Wei's life is a life of loyalty to the Shu Han. He has always followed the example of his mentor Zhuge Liang, standing at the highest peak of power, but without the slightest covetousness. Such a life goal is Jiang Wei's ultimate ideal.

Jiang Wei is over [-] years old, and they say that at fifty, he will know his destiny. When he is seventy years old, he knows that his time is numbered, but life is like this, the more you feel that what you are about to lose, the more you will lose it. Precious enough.Jiang Wei has manipulated power all his life, but now he feels powerless, but the more he feels that when he loses it, Jiang Wei is still so unwilling.

He was not reconciled that he had spent his whole life fighting for the Shu Han, but ended up with a bleak end in the end. At the mercy of others.

Because of this, Jiang Wei did not stay out of the battle for the succession to the throne. He had to use the most positive attitude to win a result that was more favorable to him. It's time for no regrets.

If the successor to the throne is not the object of Jiang Wei's support, then the consequences will undoubtedly be quite serious. How can Jiang Wei, who has spent his whole life in the political arena of the Shu Han Dynasty, not understand the pros and cons of it.

Now Jiang Wei is already caught in a crisis, it can be said that it is one step to heaven, one step to hell, and for Jiang Wei, there is no way out at all.When he was persecuted by Huang Hao back then, he was still able to avoid misfortune and left Chengdu, a place of right and wrong. At that time, Jiang Wei held military power. There is no chance to do anything to Jiang Wei.

But now the situation is different. The Shu Han won the world, but Jiang Wei could not fully control the military power. If the new emperor succeeds to the throne, it is not Liu Xun supported by Jiang Wei but Liu Chen, the king of the Northland, then Liu Chen who supports Liu Chen's supremacy Yin will definitely be on Jiang Wei's head, and Jiang Wei's position as a general will definitely be in jeopardy.

Among other things, if Jiang Weina has reached the age of becoming an official, it may become an excuse for people like Liu Chen and Liu Yin to depose him, and he can be sent home to retire with an imperial decree.

Only when you really stand on the pinnacle of power, you will not look up to others and act according to their face. In his current position, Jiang Wei will not tolerate others bullying him, especially Liu Yin. younger generation.

Speaking of Liu Yin, Jiang Wei naturally had mixed feelings. From the perspective of national interests, Jiang Wei actually thanked Liu Yin. It was Liu Yin who brought the Shuhan Dynasty, which was already in danger, to the At an unprecedented new height, no one, including Jiang Wei himself, including Zhuge Liang, whom Jiang Wei respects most, can achieve such a feat.

But from the perspective of personal grievances, Jiang Wei can't let go of it. After all, after he is his own enemy, Jiang Wei will never forget that sworn enemy.

The current Luoyang looks calm on the surface, but in fact it is undercurrents. Seeing that Liu Chan is about to control the sky, the battle for the succession to the throne has reached a fever pitch. There is no chance.

Zhong Hui proposed pre-emptive strikes, which Jiang Wei also quite agrees with. Pre-emptive strikes are followed by others. If you want to take the initiative, it is natural to strike first, especially at this critical moment when the situation is still in a delicate state. The latter often have a great advantage.

However, a pre-emptive attack also requires a certain strategy. Zhong Hui proposed the method of military remonstrance. Jiang Wei was opposed to it at first, but after careful consideration, it is not out of the question.

In fact, the result is the most important thing, the process is insignificant, as for the means used, it serves the result.Although the military remonstrance is suspected of treason, if it goes well and there is little movement, it will not have any impact on the current situation. As long as the situation can be quickly calmed down afterwards and the government is stabilized, even future historians will definitely not dare to buckle Jiang Wei. A rebellious hat.

"Then according to Shi Ji's intention, how should we come to remonstrate?" Since Zhong would come up with the idea, Jiang Wei naturally thought that Zhong would have a mature plan.

Naturally, Zhong Hui would not disappoint Jiang Wei's expectations. Before he put forward the idea of ​​military remonstrance, Zhong Hui had already thought carefully and designed a set of plans.

For the emperor, the most important event every year is to worship the heavens. The time of worshiping the heavens in the Han Dynasty was basically fixed. The first day of the first lunar month was the day of worshiping the heavens. Carry out suburban sacrifices, hold a grand ceremony to worship the heavens, and sacrifice to the five great emperors together.

After the Shu Han established its capital in Chengdu, it also worshiped heaven and earth in the southern suburbs of Chengdu according to the Han system. After moving the capital to Luoyang this time, it was the first grand ceremony of worshiping heaven and became the most important thing.

Due to the heavy roads when moving the capital, after Liu Chan arrived in Luoyang, the originally scheduled time for offering sacrifices to heaven on the first day of the first month had to be postponed, and it was finally set on the first day of the third month, which is the day of the vernal equinox.
