Chapter 27 The Great Chaos Begins (1)
Chapter 27: The Great Chaos (1)
It was a conclusion that Chen Qi lost power. Next was how to deal with Chen Qi and calm the hearts of the ministers in the court. In less than two months, Huang Hao first, then the crown prince Liu Rui, and now it was Chen Qi's turn. The most powerful people in Shu Han were knocked out by His Majesty one by one. The turmoil in the court suddenly started, and it was hard to hide his sense of danger after talking.
Chen Fu and his son and Xu You were both sent to prison. The Chen and Xu clans were officials in the court, and one of them who was in power in the army was sent to the prison. The two families did not respond or resist and were destroyed. They all knew that Chen Fu brought everyone into the palace, but no one expected that the loser would be Chen Fu. His Majesty was played with by Chen Fu during normal times, not to mention that the court now is Chen Fu's followers, and His Majesty still has different performances.
It was so surprising that Chen Qi himself was unwilling to believe that this was true. His Majesty's series of actions were full of ruffian spirit. This was not the demeanor and cultivation of a king of a country, and it was not even as good as the children of aristocratic families. The situation was originally seamless, but it was disrupted by His Majesty's rogue actions. It should not be defeated, and His Majesty's actions were even worse. Wu Cheng, Zhang Jun could also see that although His Majesty won this battle, he lost more. More and more court officials were worried about His Majesty's actions. The same was true for the two elders, not because of their black hats, but because of the future of Shu Kingdom.
After the Black Fish incident, His Majesty only did one thing, which was fighting. He was with Huang Hao, Liu Rui, and Chen Qi. Although the power was concentrated in His Majesty's hands, it only harmed the country and made no achievements. Huang Hao and Chen Qi were not loyal ministers, but what His Majesty did was not a wise monarch who could stabilize the country. Such an emperor had a vast power and no one in the court could check and balance. Once he made absurd national action, what was the difference between Jie of Xia and Zhou of Shang?
According to Liu Chan's thinking, although he defeated the villain, his behavior is more like a bigger villain. So you did good things, but people are more suspicious and worried about you. Of course, no one dares to say these things, and it is Yang Xi who tells Liu Chan these words.
Yang Xi had not had a rest at home for a few days, and heard the news that the Secretary of State, Chen Fu, the Secretary of State, Xu You and others were imprisoned. In fact, this incident caused a lot of storm and storm. It was difficult to hide at home and not know. The old man threw the book on the ground when he heard the news, and rushed to the palace without even changing his court uniform. At the same time, Zhuge Zhan was also here when he heard the news.
Liu Chan felt very unhappy when he learned about the purpose of the two. As the emperor of Shu Han, he was bullied by Chen Fu and others with such power. However, Yang Xi and Zhuge Zhan not only did not praise him, but instead said that he should not do so. This was simply inexplicable. It became very popular. Yang Xi and Zhuge Zhan's advice became even more unpleasant.
Deng Liang was thinking about how to survive in the gap between Chen Qi and His Majesty. After thinking about it, he still looked down on Chen Qi's face that he was playing with the government. When he was determined, he suddenly heard the news that Chen Qi and others were bullying His Majesty in the palace and were demoted and imprisoned. He was suddenly happy. But when he thought about it, he felt that it was dangerous and repeatedly asked people to inquire about the news, and then ordered people to make an appointment with his father's old subordinate. At this moment, it was a servant who came to report, and the Shangshu Pushe Fan Jian came. Deng Liang was stunned. Fan Jian, the guy who went to visit him many times, was rejected. Now, when the court was changing, what happened?
To put it bluntly, Liu Bei established the Shu Han Dynasty and stole the foundation of Liu Zhang of the same clan. At that time, Liu Zhang was confused and weak, and had no tyranny in governing Yizhou for many years, but he had no development. The wise ministers chose the master to work, and good birds chose trees to live in. The Yizhou gentry group gradually felt that Liu Zhang was not a monarch who could assist. He lacked enterprising spirit and could not display his talents. So Liu Bei entered Xichuan as a guest general in the name of helping Xichuan resist Dongchuan. After many twists and turns, he finally pacified the middle of Sichuan.
According to the official statement of Shu Han, this is called the great goal of hegemony. But in the eyes of the local aristocratic families in Yizhou, this is a naked robbery and fraud in the name of loyalty and righteousness. After years of governance, especially Zhuge Liang's long-term power, the Shu Han regime was truly rooted. However, after Zhuge Liang, the successors were getting worse and worse, and most of the court officials today have lost their loyalty to Shu Han. Huang Hao and Chen Fu colluded with internal and external troubles to disrupt the government, and no one was willing to step forward to make things right. But Liu Chan's thunderous momentum killed Huang Hao and Chen Fu one after another, and everyone began to murmur. He entered Sichuan like this, and now his son dealt with Huang Hao and Chen Fu. What the father and son did is right, but there is always something missing, which makes people unable to feel at ease.
The same question was repeated in Liu Chan's mind. Just now, Yang Xi and Zhuge Zhan and the others were repeatedly advised each other, and they could not bear it anymore. They ignored them and returned to the bedroom to rest. The ears were finally clear, but their hearts were rolling again. Yang Xi kowtowed and blood splashed on his forehead; Zhuge Zhan was crying and screaming in pain. Did I do something wrong? Liu Chan, who calmed down, asked himself. Sometimes the thinking of the ancients was really difficult to understand. Even if they were in it, there were still many diaphragms. Many things seemed simple and were very easy to deal with. Once it was involved, it was a gap.
At some point, Queen Zhang came over, and Liu Chan grabbed Queen Zhang and pulled it into his arms.
"Duke Yang and Zhuge Zhan both pointed out that I was not, I was so confused." In front of Empress Zhang, Liu Chan was always willing to express his thoughts.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yang and Lord Zhuge are both loyal and patriotic people, so they should follow their opinions more." Empress Zhang advised with great care when she saw Liu Chan's distress.
"I don't know, it's just today."
When Empress Zhang saw that Liu Chan was a little upset, she advised: "I have heard from my brother that good medicine is bitter in my mouth, but the wise advised him to drink it, knowing that he is sick when he enters it; he brushes his loyal words in his ears, and the wise master listens to it, and knows that he can achieve success. The two great masters are offending Your Majesty, but loyal words are not necessarily a bad thing."
When Liu Chan heard this, he felt a little relieved and said, "It's because I'm impulsive to say this. What does Anguo Hou have to say?"
Zhang Shao was named Marquis of Anguo earlier. Since Empress Zhang mentioned it, you might as well listen to Zhang Shao's opinions, after all, they are all family members. Zhang Shao also contributed to the defeat of Chen Fu this time.
Upon hearing this question, Empress Zhang stood up and left Liu Chan's arms, knelt on the ground and said, "I dare not, please give up your crime."
Liu Chan was stunned when he saw this, and immediately realized that this move must be related to what Zhang Shao said, so he said, "Get up quickly, I ordered you to say that what is the crime?"
Queen Zhang still refused to give in and said, "I am afraid that I will offend Your Majesty and dare not speak out."
"I forgive you for not guilty, and the Marquis of Anguo are not guilty." As he spoke, Liu Chan had already helped Empress Zhang up and sat on the bed.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your priest. My brother said that eliminating evil and eliminating slander is a good thing, but..." Although he has been forgiven without guilt, Empress Zhang still has some concerns. If Your Majesty hears these words, there will be nothing wrong. On the contrary, even if he forgives without guilt, he will definitely have some grudges against the Zhang family in the future.
Liu Chan also noticed it, stretched his head and kissed Queen Zhang gently, "It's okay to just say it."
Queen Zhang is not an ordinary person, so she made up her mind to continue saying: "My brother said that Your Majesty's recent actions are inappropriate and are not in line with the emperor's style. Many people in the court have their opinions. This time, the national rules and regulations are regarded as a joke. Even if Chen Shi is forced to give him the title, he will lose his heart. Let me do my best to persuade him and do not let Your Majesty be dedicated to the path." After the call, Queen Zhang couldn't help but be in a thunderous state. Liu Chan's tense face did not change at all, and Queen Zhang was even more frightened.
"Huh... what Marquis Anguo said was the same as Mr. Yang and others. It was really my fault..." Liu Chan sighed and looked disappointed.
"Where is the Marquis of Anguo now?" Liu Chan asked again and said.
"My brother said that Chen Qi has many wings, and Your Majesty is disappointed and afraid that everyone will be unable to settle down. He should contact the ministers in the court to stabilize the people's hearts first." Seeing Liu Chan like this, Empress Zhang was relieved.
"It is really rare for Marquis Anguo to be loyal and courageous to me. How can I let down the Queen and Marquis Anguo to work hard... Come on! Come on! Take me to meet Yang Xi, Zhuge Zhan and the other two!" Liu Chan said as he remembered that he had ignored them just now and hurriedly got up to find them.
At this time, the imperial court had already been in trouble, and there were many people talking about right and wrong where the ministers gathered, including many disciples of the Chen family's party members fanning the flames.
There was a lot of debate in Taichung of the Shangshu, and some people said: "Your Majesty has been inappropriate in his actions several times. It is too much of a joke to take the country as the quality of the court!"
"Hey... what can we do? Chen Fengzong ended up like this. It would be better for us to act obediently in the future."
"No, no, how can the country be played with? As ministers, how can you ignore it?"
"I heard that Your Majesty intends to thoroughly investigate corruption. Now it seems that this order is inevitable and cannot be protected by itself. Do you still have the intention to take into account other things?"
In the noisy room, there was a yell at the door: "You are all ministers in the court. If the country is in trouble, they don't think about helping you, but want to protect yourself. What's the point?" Everyone looked at him. The visitor was the Secretary of Shangshu Pushe Fan Jian, and the Secretary of Shangshu Deng Liang followed closely behind.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly greeted him. Fan Jian was close to Dong Jue in the court, and neglected contacts with Huang Hao, Chen Fu and others, and had a good sense of righteousness. He had been at home for a while and had extremely strong energy. He comforted everyone one by one and issued orders. Everyone had a little calmer in the leadership of Fan Jian and acted according to the orders.
Liu Chan ran all the way and saw Zhuge Zhan helping Yang Xi slowly in front of him. He didn't bother to send someone to spread the word, and shouted loudly: "Wenran Gong! Wen Ran Gong stayed quickly!"
When Yang Xi and Zhuge Zhan heard someone calling, they looked back and saw Liu Chan catch up, gasping for a long time, obviously running all the way. The two were shocked and knelt down on the ground and wanted to apologize. Liu Chan held his hand and hugged the two and said, "It is my fault for not being able to observe for a while, and it is my fault. Two of you must not blame me!" These words were said sincerely, and they also hugged him. Yang Xi, Zhuge Zhan was flattered when he saw Your Majesty like this. He was about to answer and saw that the three kings and ministers met with six eyes, all of whom were crying.
In the prison cell, Chen Qi sighed, "If you listen to Huang Guangdu's words, how could you be today..." Seeing that his father was depressed, Chen Yu advised through the prison wall: "Don't be discouraged, it's possible that things will turn around." Chen Qi smiled bitterly, without saying anything.
Xu You stood up and walked to the door, shook his head and said, "Things in the world are impermanent and difficult to control, only by letting them go to fate."
Chen Yu was shocked when he heard this and asked for a while: "Can you?"
In another cell, Chen Can, the eldest son of Chen Yu, said: "The letter has been sent long ago, and now I can't stop and I am trapped here and I am powerless."
