¡°Brush!¡ª¡ªBrush!
At the third watch, in the dead of night, the house was still brightly lit. Jiang Ji was writing furiously on his desk. He had written more than a dozen pieces of letter paper eloquently. There was also a prepared envelope next to it, with six big characters on it: 'My dear Grand Master. start! ¡¯
The six people had divided the work before, and Sima Yi sent the secret letters to Luoyang and Chang'an respectively to inform the Queen Mother, Empress, Xiao Yi and others about the emperor's death and the imperial edict, so that they could prepare in advance!
However, the conflict between the Xiao family and the noble clan was huge. Jiang Ji was worried that Sima Yi had tampered with the secret letter, either with unclear words or inaccurate content, which would affect Xiao Yi's judgment and delay national events!
Therefore, Jiang Ji decided to write a long letter, describing the emperor's death and the contents of the edict in detail, and then sent someone to deliver it to Xiao Yi quickly for his reference and decision-making!
For one thing, the two had a very good personal relationship and had a lot in common in terms of governance. As for the imperial examination system, Jiang Ji was in favor of it with both hands!
Secondly, Jiang Ji believes that in the next twenty years, the world will definitely be in the hands of Xiao Yi, so he should stand in line in advance!
"Haha, Mr. Taichang Qing works hard day and night. He is truly worthy of being a pillar of the country!"
"Sima Zhongda!"
"I'm not talented, I'm just a low-ranking official, and I'm bothering you!"
As soon as the letter was written and before it could be sealed, the door to the residence was kicked open and a figure rushed in, it was Sima Yi.
Jiang Ji couldn't help but change his face. It was true that he and Sima Yi were in the same palace as ministers, but they had no contact with each other in private. The other party came late at night with a sword and a group of soldiers behind him. Is it possible that the person who came was evil?
After Sima Yi came in, his eyes swept back and forth, and he quickly found the letter on the case. He couldn't help but tighten his grip on the sword at his waist, and the murderous look in his eyes became even stronger!
"Zhongda came to visit late at night. What can I tell you?"
¡°I don¡¯t dare to accept advice, but I have an important matter that I want to discuss with Mr. Taichang Qing!¡±
"Oh, what a big deal?"
"Haha, Taichang Qing is familiar with classics and history. What do you think about the Han family's Emperor Xiaohui and Emperor Xiaowen?"
Emperor Xiaohui refers to Liu Ying, the second generation emperor of the former Han Dynasty, and Emperor Xiaowen refers to Liu Heng, the third generation emperor of the former Han Dynasty, and these two are half-brothers!
It turns out that after the death of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, the throne was passed down to his eldest son, Liu Ying, but the real power was in the hands of the Queen Mother Lu Pheasant. Liu Ying died of illness after seven years of reign, and Queen Lu took over the throne for eight years, becoming the female emperor!
After Empress Lu died of illness, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and other elders launched a coup and killed more than 300 members of the Lu family, completely eliminating this group of relatives!
However, the elders and ministers believed that Emperor Xiaohui¡¯s sons were too young and had no ability to govern and could not correct the chaos, so they sent people to welcome Liu Heng, the acting king, to enter the dynasty and succeed him as emperor in a brother-to-younger manner!
Now that Cao Pi has just passed away, his sons are equally young, and the political situation is equally chaotic. However, Sima Yi obviously meant something when he brought up the history of Emperor Xiaohui and Emperor Xiaowen!
"Zhongda, there's no need to talk in circles. If you have anything to say, please speak up!"
Jiang Ji's face was gloomy. He had obviously guessed something, but he couldn't believe it. Emperor Daxing's body was still cold, so someone dared to plot a coup?
¡°I¡¯m going to put it bluntly now that I have failed in the Southern Expedition, lost troops and generals, the political situation is unstable, and people are panic-stricken. We, the Wei Dynasty, are like a small boat, sailing in the stormy waves, and may be overthrown at any time!
Emperor Daxing left an edict before his death, which was to be passed on to his eldest son Cao Rui. However, the eldest son was only fifteen years old, had no established prestige, and had no experience. How could he shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country?
Therefore, the lower officials discussed with Da Situ, Weiwei, General Polu and others, and wanted to ask King Xiao Huai to inherit the throne in the way of brother to brother, to govern China, to govern all countries, to revitalize the country and create a prosperous age!
"Waiting until a hundred years after King Xiao Huai's death, and then returning the throne to the son of Emperor Daxing, would not only protect the state of Wei, but also not violate Emperor Daxing's final request, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? I wonder what Mr. Taichang Qing thinks? "
While speaking, Sima Yi snatched the letter from the case, flipped through a few pages, burned it to ashes with a nearby lamp, and stared at Jiang Ji with murderous intent!
Political struggle is a life-and-death battle, and there is no room for mercy. And between life and death, what choice does Jiang Ji make?
"Alas, the late Emperor Long Yu passed away, and the old minister suffered a broken heart. He was really unable to participate in the government. He was about to retire and return to his hometown. Lin Quanxia ended his remaining life. As for the affairs of the country and the country, you adults can make the decision!"
After a moment of silence, Jiang Ji sighed and shook his head, getting up.He took out a nanmu box from the cabinet, which contained the imperial edict, and reluctantly placed it on the desk!
"Obviously, Jiang Ji abided by his ministerial integrity and did not want to participate in this coup, but he was unable to resist, and he did not want to die in vain, so he had to choose to ignore it and live alone.
"Haha, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Lord Taichangqing is so wise, he will definitely be able to enjoy the rest of his life. However, there have been a lot of things recently. I hope you will stay in your residence and don't move around at will. I'll say goodbye!"
Sima Yi carefully checked it and made sure that there was nothing wrong with the imperial edict. Then he nodded with satisfaction, gave a warning, and left eight soldiers to guard the gate, and then he went back with peace of mind.
¡¡¡¡
"Thank God, Zhongda is finally back. What is Jiang Ji's attitude? Has he obtained the imperial edict?"
In the palace bedroom, Cao Xiong was pacing back and forth with an anxious look on his face. When he saw Sima Yi appear, he hurriedly greeted him!
Hua Xin, Wang Lang, and Xia Houcheng were also present. As expected, the three of them participated in the coup with just a little inducement.
"Everyone, please rest assured. Jiang Ji is not willing to collude with us in big things, but he doesn't have the guts to object, so he obediently handed over the imperial edict!"
Sima Yi took out the imperial edict, prepared to let everyone review it and then destroy it. He then wrote a new edict as a brother-in-law and made Cao Xiong the heir to the throne!
Seeing that the imperial edict was indeed received, Cao Xiong, Hua Xin, and Xia Houcheng all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the coup was almost certain. Only Wang Lang's expression changed, as if he had discovered a major omission!
"Zhongda, do you only get back one posthumous edict?"
"What do you mean by Da Situ's words?"
"There are two copies of the imperial edict, the original and the deputy. Why didn't you get them all back?"
"ah?"
According to the Han system: the emperor's edict was issued in duplicate, and the original was promulgated and the copy was kept in the palace. If there were no copies, even if the original was written in accordance with the emperor's will, it would be regarded as a 'false edict' and would not be recognized by the court and subjects. !
For example, in the early Han Dynasty, Dou Ying, the Marquis of Wei Qi, requested Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to summon him again in the name of being ordered by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, "If there is any inconvenience, consider it as cheap as possible"!
But the minister soon discovered that there was no copy of the imperial edict that Dou Ying received in the palace, so he impeached Dou Ying for "forging an imperial edict". At the beginning of the fourth year of Yuanguang, Dou Ying was beheaded in public!
Wei inherited the Han system, and the emperor's edict was also made in duplicate. Therefore, after Jiang Ji returned to his residence, he immediately copied a copy, and found Wang Lang to stamp the imperial seal, preparing to store it in the palace in the future. This was done extremely secretly, so Outsiders don¡¯t know!
Sima Yi took back the imperial edict. It was a copied copy. The ink on it had not yet dried. The original imperial edict was probably still in Jiang Ji's hands and he had not handed it over obediently!
"You brave man, you dare to bully me, let's go!"
Sima Yi has been deceiving others all his life. He didn't expect that he would be deceived at some point. His white face turned the color of bitter melon with anger. He immediately led people to rush to Jiang Ji's residence to snatch the original imperial edict and kill the liar!
When Nazhi arrived at his residence, he saw that the eight soldiers were still standing at the door, but Jiang Ji was nowhere to be seen. Naturally, the edict was nowhere to be found!
"Where have you been, Mr. Taichangqing?"
"Going out for inspection!"
"Why not stop it?"
"Your Majesty Taichang Qing is holding an imperial edict, how dare your subordinates stop him!"
"Damn it, hurry up and catch up!"
The truth of the matter came to light. Jiang Ji learned that Sima Yi and others were going to launch a coup. He first pretended to be cowardly and handed over a copy of the imperial edict to protect himself. Then he fled with the original imperial edict, either to Luoyang or to Chang'an. !
Once the original edict is made public or falls into the hands of Xiao Yi, this conspiracy coup may be aborted, and the main envoys and participants of the coup will die without a burial place!
Sima Yi hurried back and asked Xia Houcheng to mobilize the tiger and leopard cavalry to search for Jiang Ji's whereabouts. He must recover the original copy of the imperial edict, and he will not care whether he is alive or dead!
"Report¡ª¡ªLord Taichang Qing is not seen in the palace!"
"Report¡ª¡ªLord Taichang Qing is not seen in the camp!"
"Report¡ª¡ªno one is seen at every intersection!"
¡¡¡¡
Almost all the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were dispatched. From the fifth watch, they continued to track down until the afternoon of the next day. They searched dozens of miles around, but Jiang Ji was nowhere to be seen. Now Cao Xiong, Wang Lang and others were also sitting there. I couldn't help it, I was so anxious that I was like ants on a hot pot!
At the same time, I also found it unbelievable. How could Jiang Ji, a weak scholar, escape from the pursuit of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry? Could it be that there were accomplices in the camp who secretly hid him?
Unwilling to be reconciled, Xia Houcheng personally led his men and conducted a second search in the name of following the emperor's instructions. He did not even miss the tents of the generals and captains, but still no one was seen, but he got A clue!
Yesterday, around five o'clock, someone saw Jiang Ji holding an imperial edict, forcibly recruiting a fast ship, and sailing upstream along the Yangtze River towards Jingzhou! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Hidden secretly?
