The fleet of Xiao Dalian, the King of Xinting West, Caizhou on the Jiang, and the fleet of the Prince of Nan County berthed here.

The reason why they are not berthed on the shore is because they are unpopular and are easily attacked.

On the ship, Xiao Dalian looked as if he was ashen, looking at the river bank and the northeast direction, without saying a word.

Jiankang was about twenty miles northeast of Caizhou, and was close to him, but he stopped near the south gate of Jiankang because there were not many people in the city who welcomed him.

He sent people to Jiankang in advance to "activity", contact civil and military officials, and spread the fact that he came outside Jiankang City.

Xiao Dalian believed that he was sure to win, because once the crown prince passed away, his son would not be able to take on a great responsibility at a young age. Therefore, according to the rules of his brother's end, he should ascend the throne as a legitimate younger brother.

Then, there must be civil and military officials who are unsuccessful on weekdays or want to further their goals, choose to "bet", support him in Beijing, and take charge of the overall situation.

result..

As a result, many of the civil and military officials he secretly contacted did not express their attitude. Anyway, they were all very smart and were unwilling to "try hard" with him.

Even his cousin, Wang Bao, the Minister of Personnel, advised him to return to Jingzhen and not give him a handle.

This is simply a joke. Xiao Dalian knew that he had not received the imperial edict and left Jiangling and went to Jiankang. Afterwards, he was just the meat on the chopping board and was slaughtered. Why did he "don't give someone a handle"?

The news about the legitimate brother and the crown prince Xiao Daqi has been interrupted for many days, and I don’t know how to live or die.

According to the news I received before, Xiao Dalian judged that Xiao Daqi, who had previously had a high fever, may have passed away now.

It is said that the legitimate son succeeded to the throne, but what can a child bear to take on the throne?

The consequences of the doubts of the country are too great to know that the king has a eldest king, which is the blessing of the country. As the crown prince's legitimate brother, he is naturally the brother and the younger brother, and the result...

The rumor that "the prince was injured by a strange monkey on the night when the prince of Nanjun was injured" blocked him from Jiankang, and his intention was obvious.

These people want to establish a young emperor, then divide the power and control the government!

The important officials of the two dynasties were nostalgic for power, and the assistants of the East Palace were reluctant to give up the power they were about to obtain, so they could take it as a matter of course to assist in the government.

The princes watched the fun, and their nephews who were so happy that they ascended the throne, they wanted to do whatever they wanted.

The royal family probably has this mentality.

As for the civil and military officials, they probably felt that the hope of his brother Nanjun was slim, so they did not plan to bet.

So he became an unpopular person. Although he arrived outside Jiankang, he could not enter the city because no general in charge of the army clearly expressed his support for him.

If he led his troops to break through, he would probably be blocked outside the city, because there were already officials and horses gathered in Xinting, looking as if he was ready to fight, which obviously made him retreat.

what to do?

In addition to anger, Xiao Dalian also had fear.

He left Fangzhen without permission, and was originally a snatch of people. If he went back, after the new king ascended the throne, the gang of people in power would have a ready-made excuse and could easily deal with him.

Even if you save your life, you may be cut off your wings and placed under house arrest in Jiankang, and you will never have a chance to stand out.

If you don’t go back to Jiangling, stay here, can’t enter Jiankang City, and there is no food supply, how long can you stay with so many people?

Either he forced himself to Jiankang, but he had no internal support in Jiankang, and even if he broke through the outer fence, he would not be able to enter Taicheng.

Before leaving, Xiao Dalian was full of confidence and felt that there would definitely be many powerful civil and military officials in Jiankang City willing to take a gamble and support him ascend the throne.

Now it seems that he is too optimistic.

Or, during the time he left Jiangling and arrived in Jiankang, something happened in Jiankang City, which led to the ownership of the throne, so no one was willing to take the risk of supporting him.

Did your brother survive?

Xiao Dalian quickly denied this idea. If the elder brother survived, it would not be his cousin who advised him to return to Jiangling as soon as possible, but his elder brother wrote a letter and ordered him to enter the palace.

So you all want to support the young emperor to take advantage of it!

How did your father treat you? How did your brother treat you? At the critical moment, I just wanted to take advantage of you and didn’t have any responsibility!

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, but he had no choice but to do anything. He really couldn't think of a way to break the situation.

But you must never leave. Stay there and hold on for a while, and maybe someone will make a choice.

Suddenly someone came to report that someone asked for a visit.

Uninvited guests come from Jiankang.

And bring a letter.

Xiao Dalian read the letter first, and then was overjoyed: Someone secretly contacted him.

Because everyone present was confidant, Xiao Dalian asked, "Where is the person coming? I want to see him."

After hearing this, the left and right advised him: "Your Highness! Now the situation is subtle, you have to be wary of the assassin."

"It's okay, I have my own sense of responsibility." Xiao Dalian smiled. After finally someone contacted him, how could he keep those in the future?

Besides, he has a ring-piercing inner lock armor to protect him from assassins.

The other party sent an envoy to see him. If he didn't even see the envoy, the other party might have lost his mind.

Opportunities are rare and fleeting. Xiao Dalian made up his mind to seize this opportunity.

If this person is a helper, the problem will be solved.

"Quickly, please come in!"

......

The snow was covered with snow and the north wind was howling. Xuzhou Gong Party, Xuzhou Governor Li Li, Chief Secretary Wang Chong, and the main civil and military officials in Xuzhou welcomed the Taiwan envoy and the latest news.

The emperor passed away, the crown prince died of illness, and the crown prince ascended the throne.

When the new king is young, he naturally needs ministers to assist him, and the list of ministers of the regent has been confirmed.

Among them were important officials of two dynasties, assistant officials of the Eastern Palace, and royal family members and vassal kings.

As the leader of the royal family, the young emperor's uncle was listed.

As for Xiao Dalian, the prince of Nanjun who left his post without permission and went to the capital to attend the funeral, his crimes should be punished, but his feelings are pitiful, because Xiao Dalian entered the city alone in mourning clothes, cried to worship his father and brother's coffin, and led his troops back to Jiangling.

The storm caused by an assassination was about to turn into a storm, but suddenly the wind disappeared, which made Li Li feel a little confused when he heard the news.

This feeling is like secretly downloading the "Stories that One Hundred and Five Men and Three Women Have to Tell" file. Open it with full expectations and find it was the mood of the moment when the Water Margin was revealed.

I'm ready, show me this?

What about the expected princes seizing the throne and blood flowing?

The expected bloody palace change, what about the internal strife of the kings?

Li Li retracted his thoughts, looked at the amiable Changshi Wang Chong, looked at the calm Taiwanese envoy, and looked at the relaxed civil and military officials, and suddenly the urge to hurry up and go to the toilet before the movie was about to start.

The wind has disappeared? It’s impossible. It’s just a warm-up now, and the good show is still coming.

First, when the young emperor ascended the throne, there will inevitably be a situation where the lord and the young country will doubt it. This is not unknown to the court, but it has led to this fact. What does it mean?

This shows that all forces want to take the opportunity to gain benefits and establish a child as an emperor, which is the most convenient way.

So the adult prince of the throne, the "popular candidate" of the Nanjun, was excluded, and a father died and a son passed away, rather than a brother ended with brother. Only then could the game of seizing power of "sitting in a row and splitting fruits" be continued.

Next, the regent ministers would inevitably compete with the control of the young emperor, but the incident happened suddenly, and all parties needed time to accumulate strength.

Therefore, a compromise is reached temporarily and the greatest common divisor is chosen: the young emperor.

Second, since ancient times, it has been normal for the internal strife of the regents to fight. Those who win can completely control the young emperor. Next, a drama of using the emperor to make the princes perform.

After the victor eliminates dissidents, he will usurp the throne and will inevitably usurp the throne.

Third, Xiao Dalian, the prince of Nanjun who left office and led his troops to Jiankang without authorization, stopped outside Jiankang City, and suddenly let go of his army and entered the city alone to attend the funeral. What does this mean?

This shows that his adventure did not receive strong support from the powerful and powerful people. In a dilemma, there were powerful people in Jiankang City reaching a consensus with him.

I guarantee that he can get out of peace by entering the city alone, and that he can return to Jingzhou safely without being settled by the fall.

Xiao Dalian failed in the adventure, but there was no way out. But his courage to do this means that the powerful faction who secretly cooperated with him must have promised something.

So, what was promised?

Li Li thought about it and felt a little depressed.

For the country, under the current situation, it is most suitable for a brother to come to the throne, and the legitimate prince Xiao Dalian ascends the throne, because the country has a eldest king and the country is blessed.

The powerful cannot be unaware of this.

However, for the powerful, making children the emperor and losing the imperial power is the best choice for them to seize power and gain benefits.

Therefore, things will inevitably develop in the worst direction.

At the critical moment that determines the fate of the dynasty, the royal relatives, important officials of the two dynasties, and the assistants of the Eastern Palace collectively chose a dead end that was beneficial to them but would destroy the dynasty.

Li Li looked up at the sky, looked at the white clouds all over the sky, and suddenly felt that Xiao Yan, Xiao Gang and his son were really pitiful.

Xiao Yan chose to treat or even pamper the royal family well because of the bloody murder of the royal family by Liu Song and Xiao Qi. What was the result of the loss of power?

Xiao Gang adhered to his father's governance ideas and treated the royal family well, but after he was assassinated and his son died, what were these royal families doing?

Xiao Dalian, who performed well in his daily life, ascended the throne, was obviously the best solution, but he made a child the emperor.

Li Li has his own news channels in Jiankang City. Judging from the wind he heard, a series of big dramas will be staged.

Therefore, the choice of these powerful people is highly likely to be in line with one sentence: God can still forgive evil, but one can not survive if one commits evil!
