Chapter 182 Execution of Empress Lu to welcome the King of Han!(1/2)
Faced with Lu Pheasant's question, Zhang Liang did not remain silent for too long. Instead, he looked at the other party thoughtfully, and instead of answering the other party's question directly, he said,
"Choosing a king for the country is a major matter for the country, and the two princes are already here, so it is not appropriate to change it without authorization."
Hearing this answer, Lu Zhi frowned obviously. This was certainly not the answer she wanted. She had also tried to win over Zhang over the years, but to no avail.
As expected, the other party is not standing with her now.
This made her regret slightly. At first, she actually wanted to set the time longer.
However, the situation was different at that time. Her foundation was still shallow and she had no support from anyone except Fan Hui.
If you just say 10 years, or longer, then I'm afraid you won't get the consent of others.
That's why I said 5 years. During these 5 years, she has not been idle and has been recruiting her own people.
It can be said that she has a group of people who can be used, but now she has to hand over the power, and she will naturally not be willing to do so.
Looking at the stalemate in the court, Lu Zhi couldn't help but look at it and said to Fan Hui,
"What do you think, General?"
Fan Hui hesitated slightly when he heard the question. Of course he listened to his elder brother.
But now, the situations of the two are almost the same, and it is indeed difficult to choose directly.
For a time, the entire court fell into a strange silence.
Fortunately, Fan Hui finally made up his mind. No matter what, the throne would still be given to his eldest brother's son. After all, his sister-in-law was considered an outsider.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Pheasant say at this time,
"Since you haven't thought it through yet, there is no need to rush this matter at the moment. I am also a little tired, so why not discuss it tomorrow!"
After saying that, he didn't give others a chance to speak, and walked directly towards his palace with them.
The ministers in the court were stunned for a moment and then dispersed.
Because now the other party is still nominally in control of the court,
And it is indeed difficult to make a decision now. Everyone went back to discuss it for a while, and it was considered a solution, but they didn't think too much about anything else.
After all, the queen's position is unshakable. Even if a new king succeeds to the throne and the queen becomes the queen mother, she will still enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life.
Soon, only Liu Heng and Liu Ying were left in the court.
Liu Heng was about to get up and leave, but Liu Ying's voice came from beside him,
"Brother, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
Liu Heng turned his head and saw Liu Ying with a sincere face, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes, and he quickly returned,
"Brother, what advice do you have?"
Looking at the other party's appearance, Liu Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly and said,
"You and I are brothers, why should we be so different?"
Hearing this, Liu Heng just twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a smile that was not even a smile, and returned,
"Big brother is saying that you and I should move around more."
Looking at Liu Heng who is smiling but not smiling,
Liu Ying sighed silently and then said,
"I just want to tell you that I am not asking for the throne. I just want to fulfill my father's last wish and help you."
Liu Heng was slightly stunned this time. He did not expect that the other party would say such words.
But he quickly came to his senses, and the alertness in his eyes became even more profound.
Then he said,
"In that case, why doesn't eldest brother express his feelings directly to the ministers?"
"Then give me the throne, and we will govern the Han Dynasty together."
Liu Ying smiled bitterly and returned,
"I want to do this, but as you have seen my mother, I don't want to hurt her too much..."
Of course, he can also see his mother's desire for power. If he gives up directly, I am afraid that he will hurt her and will not be able to live in peace in the future.
Listening to Liu Ying's explanation, Liu Heng showed a sneer and said, before the other party finished speaking,
"In that case, let's decide the winner based on merit."
"Otherwise, I can't defeat you in this conspiracy. After all, your senior brother is the master of it!"
Hearing this, Liu Ying's face turned pale, and she pointed at Liu Heng with a bit of anger,
"What are you talking about!? What does my senior brother have to do with this matter!"
He never thought that this matter would involve His Majesty the Second Generation of Qin, who was like his brother and father!
Seeing Liu Ying losing her composure, Liu Heng showed a smile and said,
"Brother, why are you so excited? Or are you being tricked by what I said?"
"In the past few years, I have sometimes wondered why His Majesty, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, lowered his status to become your senior brother. Now that I think about it, he is waiting here."
"If you take the throne of the Han Dynasty, are you going to hand over the entire Han Dynasty?"
At this moment, Liu Ying felt that all the blood in her body was rushing to her head. Although he did not grow up with the other party, he regarded the other party as a brother from the beginning to the end.
He has never done anything to hurt the other party. Most people would not take it for granted that they have reached this point.
I also deliberately took the mission to expedition to the south before, but I didn't expect that it would end up like this!
The other party can talk about him, but they can't insult his senior brother who is like a brother and a father!
He couldn't help but said with red eyes,
"I have never wanted to argue with you for the throne. The winner is the king. This is my father's intention!"
"Although I studied with my senior brother, it was my father who abandoned us, mother and son!"
"My senior brother has always taught me to respect teachers and love friends. Even before coming here, he only told me to take good care of him and protect the big man. He never mentioned the things you said!"
"In order to avoid suspicion in the past few years, the correspondence with me has become less frequent. I can only say hello to my senior brother through sister Lu Yuan!"
"Why do you slander him so much!"
Hearing this, Liu Heng couldn't help but frown slightly.
The reason why he thought there was a shadow of that person behind this was because Prime Minister Zhang Liang had always told him,
The current one has a vicious mind and is best at playing with people's hearts!
At the beginning, it seemed that he was being toyed with by the opponent, and the famous wise man Fan Zeng was almost so angry that he vomited blood and died.
So be careful with each other!
But judging from Liu Ying's words, the other party seemed to be an upright gentleman.
Although he doesn't like this big brother who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, his behavior in the past few years has indeed made him a true gentleman!
But he didn’t dwell on it for too long. Liu Heng shook his head slightly and said,
"Since the winner is king, we will judge success or failure based on winning or losing."
After saying that, he left the angry Liu Ying behind and left here directly.
After leaving the court, Liu Heng walked quickly outside, and then caught up with Zhang Liang, who was not far away.
The other party is quite supportive of him,
After meeting, he said straight to the point,
"Prime Minister, the queen seems reluctant to let go of her power now."
"And now that the queen has her own manpower in the court, if it continues like this, it may be detrimental to the big man!"
Although the other party acted extremely covertly today, he could feel that the person who had been sitting in the court for five years was not willing to let go.
Moreover, some ministers have begun to defect to the other party. If things continue like this,
If the other party really takes control of the government, it will be difficult to take back the power!
Hearing this, Zhang Liang did not answer directly, but quickly looked around and returned when he saw no one was around.
"Prince, don't worry, no one can change this matter after five years."
"Prince, please be patient. The results will definitely come out in the next few days!"
After saying that, he left here directly. Liu Heng on the side could only frown, and then left here.
He was still young at the time, and in the past few years, he had been living in the border areas, but he had not yet had time to cultivate his own power in the court.
Thinking of this, Liu Heng couldn't help but vaguely blame his father who was gone.
Wouldn't it be enough to pass the position to him smoothly?
Now we still have to experience these changes!
To be continued...
