Chapter 493: Enthroned(1/2)
Concubine Zhang seemed to have understood it.
In fact, there is no need to deliberately contact Empress Dowager Zhang in advance. It only needs to collude with Liao generals to make this general trend.
Then Empress Dowager Zhang will inevitably stand opposite Wei Zhongxian.
This is actually easy to understand, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
Concubine Zhang then said, "Then let's investigate it thoroughly."
Wei Zhongxian nodded and bowed: "Yes."
The clouds in the palace are treacherous.
The same is true outside the palace.
During this period of national mourning, all entertainment was suspended.
However, the academies everywhere are full of prosperity.
Dengdi Academy is one of them.
Thanks to the Donglin Military Academy.
Nowadays, academies in the capital are blooming everywhere.
This Dengdi Academy is actually not very large.
There are very few people who can enter the academy.
All those who enter the academy need to be recommended by others.
Most of the people who are qualified to recommend are not revealed.
At this time, a scholar arrived at the academy panting. He was wearing plain clothes and a filial piety scarf wrapped in his head.
After entering the academy, he took off his plain clothes in disgust and hurried into Minglun Hall.
When I arrived in Minglun Hall, I saw a middle-aged man with a turtle and Confucian shirt.
This man bowed to the middle-aged man: "I have met my mentor."
The middle-aged man nodded at him: "How is it, what's going on? Is there any message in Liaodong?"
"It's strange that Liaodong has banned news, and even checkpoints have been set up along the way, so people are not allowed to enter and exit at will."
The middle-aged man frowned and pondered: "Is it because of the Liao generals who were scared?"
"It's unknown. Students were unable to leave the customs for a while, so even Shanhaiguan suddenly became tighter and no one was allowed to enter and exit."
"These Liao generals." The middle-aged man snorted coldly and then said, "Where is Nanjing, what's the news in Nanjing?"
"In the other side of Nanjing... Mr. Lushan... sent people to come, saying that he should support Empress Dowager Zhang now and help His Highness Changsheng ascend the throne. Empress Dowager Zhang and Wei Zhongxian have always been inconsistent. As long as His Highness Changsheng ascends the throne, the authority of the court will inevitably fall into the hands of Empress Dowager Zhang. At that time, Empress Dowager Zhang will have to rely on it..."
The man said, looked up, looked at the middle-aged man deeply, and then said, "We must rely on us. Those who were expelled from the court by Wei Zhongxian must also re-enforce the account. This account must be settled."
The middle-aged man nodded: "What else did Mr. Lushan say?"
The middle-aged man did not get excited about this, but instead showed a little worried: "Now the emperor has passed away, and it will be only a matter of time before Wei Zhongxian's defeat, but... the trouble in our hearts is just Wei Zhongxian? That Zhang Jingyi and His Majesty died outside the pass. His Highness Changsheng is the blood of Concubine Zhang, and Concubine Zhang..."
yes!
Who knows if there will be a counterattack in the future?
Before the year of Changsheng, it was Empress Dowager Zhang who had the final say, but ten years later, if Changsheng takes power, can Zhang Jingyi's nephew still control it?
The scholar smiled and said, "This is exactly what Mr. Lushan is worried about, but he said that he had already made arrangements. Now that he can ascend the throne of His Highness Changsheng, it is actually to stabilize Concubine Zhang, and to prevent Wei Zhongxian from jumping over the wall. When Wei Zhongxian is completely eliminated in the future, he will do the work of Yi Yin and Huo Guang at that time."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he was immediately energetic.
The so-called Yi Yin and Huo Guang incident are about Yi Yin as a powerful minister exiling King Taijia of Shang, while Huo Guang deposed the deposed Emperor Liu He of Han.
But this man still had concerns and said, "But... if this person is stopped, where is the royal family?"
"There are already people who choose from the royal family, so they are naturally virtuous."
"Can it be King Xin..."
"King Xin has gone astray."
"The student understands."
"But..." The middle-aged man was a little worried.
"Mr. Lushan said, please don't worry, as long as Wei Zhongxian is eliminated, then the world is my Donglin. The court will definitely be unable to do without Donglin. At that time... this is all a trivial matter. The most urgent task at the moment is to eradicate the eunuch party. The next day is the throne ceremony..."
Speaking of this, the scholar looked at his mentor deeply and then said, "Mr. Lushan hopes that his mentor can make some noise."
"Come on the verge of trouble?" The middle-aged man frowned slightly and looked at his student in surprise.
"Yes." The scholar said: "There are signs of conflict between Empress Dowager Zhang and Wei Zhongxian now. Many people in the court have long wanted to replace the eunuch party. Not to mention the hundreds of officials in the court, how many eunuchs in the palace are hoping to replace these eunuch party remnants? Among the factory guards... I am afraid that some people have these thoughts. After all, no matter how hard they try, as long as Wei Zhongxian takes power for one day, they will not have a day of success."
"Mr. Lushan said that the day when His Highness Changsheng ascended the throne is the time to settle the eunuch party. Only by creating trouble can it arouse the anger of the public, and eventually...the hidden contradictions will be torn apart, achieving the effect of everyone killing the remnants of the eunuch party."
“How to cause trouble?”
"This is easy to deal with." The scholar said: "Mr. Lushan hopes that his mentor can lead people to lead people outside the Forbidden City that day, he asked the new emperor to eradicate the remnants of the eunuch party and accused the ten major crimes of the eunuch party. At that time... Wei Zhongxian was put on fire."
"What if Wei Zhongxian was anxious to jump over the wall?"
"Wei Zhongxian has been arrogant for so long, and it is up to His Majesty. Now that His Majesty is dead, Empress Dowager Zhang will take charge of the overall situation. If he dares to commit crimes and instructs hawks and dogs to kill people, Empress Dowager Zhang will sit idly by? Besides, he does not have the courage! But as long as he does not dare to take action, then... people in the world will naturally have thoughts and know that the eunuch party is at the end of their journey. At that time... Wei Zhongxian will die."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help laughing: "I understand what you mean, very well. Go back and tell Mr. Lushan that although you have life worries, you just want to cut off the eunuch party and save the people from the fire and water. Even if you cut them into pieces, even if you have tens of millions of people, I will go!"
The scholar kowtowed seriously in the middle-aged man in court and said, "My teacher... if you have time, the student will go and return your life."
The middle-aged man sent off his students.
But I seemed excited at this moment.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that Mr. Lushan played this chess well!
When he ascended the throne, he used public opinion to directly assassinate Wei Zhongxian.
If Wei Zhongxian dares to take action, the world will be in an uproar.
If you dare not take action on the day of ascending the throne, it means that the eunuch party is already in decline. By then, anyone with a discerning eye will know that Wei Zhongxian is over!
Immediately afterwards... there were a large number of people among the inner court, factory guards, and officials who were unwilling to be lonely, as well as the Donglin Party members lurking in the world, who had full force to encircle and suppress them.
Wei Zhongxian will not be able to die.
Eliminate Wei Zhongxian and find a way to get rid of the little emperor in the future. When the new emperor ascends the throne, although I don’t know who this person is, it is obvious that Mr. Lushan has made arrangements.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, will this new emperor tolerate the deposed little emperor's relatives still in court?
What's more, Zhang Jingyi is dead, and the remnants of the Zhang family are probably going to be wiped out.
From then on, the world will be clear and clear.
Of course, doing this will be beneficial to him.
As the last straw to destroy the eunuch party, he will surely become famous and will shake the world from then on.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, suppressed his inner excitement, and murmured: "The whole world is full of all the things, only at the moment."
……………………
The throne ceremony was chosen on the ninth day of the seventh month.
This is an auspicious day.
Early in the morning, all the officials wore dresses and entered the palace one after another.
But the palace was already busy.
Changshengren eunuchs wore newly sewn dresses and looked aggrieved.
He was only four years old and seemed extremely impatient at the mercy of others.
So Empress Dowager Zhang and Concubine Zhang had to coax him.
After finally coaxing him, Changsheng said angrily: "After I become the emperor, will I have the final say in everything?"
"Yes, yes..." Empress Dowager Zhang said with a smile: "The emperor has the final say in what he says."
Changsheng said, "Then I will issue an order, and the godfather, the emperor and the uncle will come alive immediately and they will not be allowed to die."
As soon as this statement was spoken, Empress Dowager Zhang smiled meaningfully.
Concubine Zhang, who was standing beside her, turned her face to the side, and her eyes were slightly red.
The eunuchs outside have begun to urge.
Then, Changsheng walked out of the bedroom surrounded by eunuchs with a glorious attitude.
Outside the bedroom, Wei Zhongxian had already been waiting. He took the lead in delivering a great gift to Changsheng: "I have seen Your Majesty."
Changsheng pouted and continued to walk forward, saying as he walked: "Don't delay, I'm going to be the emperor."
However, other eunuchs bowed one after another: "Your Majesty..."
A little eunuch behind him followed Changsheng step by step, for fear that he would fall.
