"I have met the prime minister." After Xu Zixian entered the room, he bowed respectfully. The prime minister was above the prince, and he was polite to all officials. There should be no negligence or negligence in etiquette.

"What's the intention of Marquis Nan'an?" Although Xu Zi was able to officially inherit the title in the morning, Han Zhong must have received the news long ago.

In front of Xu Zixian, Han Zhong was disdainful to hide his emotions. Han Zhong was unwilling to make a fuss about this Fujian royal family marquis who caused great trouble for his plan.

The prime minister in front of him was about 60 years old, with a calm face and a good figure. He was wearing a purple robe and a slinger. Although he was summoned in a private room, Han Zhong did not change into casual clothes, showing his guardianship and cold attitude towards Xu Zixian.

"The Prime Minister is in danger." Xu Zixian said calmly: "Liu Zhi went away from the Neidong Gate alone. What did the Prime Minister think he was going to do?"

"Strange words." Han Zhong said angrily: "When the emperor is involved in the great power of the country, what do you want to say and do, a stinky royal family member?"

"It's not a worm." Xu Zixian said: "In Nan'an, he beheaded a thousand-level battle, without any help. If this is the case, it's considered a worm. There are too few officials in the world who are not a worm."

Han Zhong sneered, but was surprised and confused. He originally thought that Xu Zi was coming to apologize and show goodwill to return to Fujian safely. Now it seems that this young royal family really knows some inside story?

"Liu Zhiyuan went to the inner east gate alone, and then the Shumi Chen Yan summoned the commanders of each wing. The military command meeting, the imperial guards in the capital formed a scattered sand. Then the emperor sent Langwei out with the tribute. Liu Zhiyuan ordered Shi Yuji to lead the soldiers to the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that the Prime Minister rebelled and the Emperor ordered the arrest. How would the Prime Minister deal with himself when he arrived?" Xu Zixian knew that time was urgent and there could be no need to delay. He said straight in one go: "If the Prime Minister doesn't believe me, I will turn around and leave now, but I'm sure that after dark in the evening, Langwei will rush into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Then there will be another scene. I don't know if the Prime Minister is left alone and waited for Liu Zhiyuan to mock him and humiliate him before committing suicide, or if he chooses to break himself when the army enters the palace?"

Han Zhong said word by word: "How did you know?"

"It doesn't matter." Xu Zixian said: "What's important is that someone uses me to make the emperor make up his mind, and use the two ministers to join forces to keep me, establish the throne, and threaten the emperor, so that the emperor can make up his mind..."

Han Zhong has believed 90% of the time. The rumors that Xu Zixian and Xu Zicheng wanted to stay in Beijing have spread. Of course, Han Zhong also heard about it. He thought this was the delusion of right-minister Xu Xiashang. Xu Zicheng, a fool, did not threaten at all. Xu Zixian of course had a threat. If Xu Xiashang proposed this proposal at the meeting of the Political Affairs Hall, Han Zhong's plan was to deny it completely and not give Xu Xiashang the opportunity to operate the matter.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhiyuan actually used this incident as a breakthrough, which was a shameful frame-up and a complete rumor!

"Did your husband want to rush to the Neidong Gate to explain?" Xu Zixian said slowly: "The emperor has ordered the Weiwei to take charge of the imperial guards, and the senior officials of Langwei have all arrived at the Neidong Gate. His attitude is quite clear. Is it useful to explain at this time? In fact, the emperor has long wanted to take down his husband, but he just lacks the reasons and excuses to make up his mind. This time, the matter is just giving the emperor the clearest reason and excuses."

What kind of person is Han Zhong? He has been struggling in the officialdom all his life. He has seen all kinds of solid scheming and ruthless means. The emperor has a medium talent, a distorted and impulsive personality, and it is difficult to change things that have made up his mind. All of this made Han Zhong sit down dejectedly after getting up... So what if the emperor believed his explanation? The arrow was on the string and he had to fire!

"Then what's the benefit of seeing me?" Han Zhong stared at Xu Zixian and asked, "Are you here to confirm our collusion?"

Xu Zixian said in a deep voice: "After the blade, of course I have to fight back. I didn't have it before, nor now, and there will be no day when I will be tied up in the future. If my husband trusts me, I want to fight hard. The only way is to kill Liu Zhiyuan!"

Han Zhong was shocked suddenly and stared at Xu Zixian for a while. He really didn't expect that the young royal family in front of him would have such courage and decision?

After being stunned for a while, Han Zhong said, "Why should I believe you?"

"Because the interests are consistent," Xu Zixian said: "I am the same when my husband wants to keep his power, his capital and his life. Since he is tied up, he is a natural ally. I have heard a saying that if he wins a battle, he can rely on those who cannot rely on them. If he loses, he can also rely on those who can rely on those who can rely on them. Now my husband is in danger. The old power is either guarded or unreliable. What can be used is my former enemy..."

"What should we do?" Han Zhong saw Xu Zixian's ambition and cruelty hidden under his appearance at this moment. The more he did, the more he felt at ease. He stood up and Han Zhong said: "There are more than 100 yuan in Liu Zhiyuan's mansion, and there are quite a few generals. If he is ordered to fight against rebellion, there will be Lang Wei following him, then it will be difficult. Under the feet of the emperor, Lang Wei will hold the White Tiger Banner, and the imperial guards will be held back and are unreliable."

"I bring all the rural people from Fujian." Xu Zixian said: "The imperial guards under the White Tiger are left behind, but my people don't. There are also Wang Zhi's people. I want to make a promise here. After this matter, I will return to Fujian and Wang Zhi will be able to get the support of my husband. In addition, I need a letter. My husband heard that Liu Zhiyuan was rebelling and rebelling, so he led my troops to quell the rebellion. Another letter made me quickly return to Fujian after the exam to calm the emperor's heart. Another memorial was to report that the emperor was willing to support the Northern Expedition, but he must not waste troops under the control of his husband..."

"What's the point?" Han Zhong said: "I'm anti-Northern Expedition, and now I'm changing my opinion. How do the people below see me?"

"Political persistence depends on gains and losses. Now, because my husband opposes the Northern Expedition, he has become the one in the mind of the emperor. He cannot persist. This time, if you want to kill Liu Zhiyuan, you must at least make the emperor feel that his husband can stand with him, instead of always opposing the major policies of the Northern Expedition. If there is no such memorial, I am afraid that the emperor will personally go out of the palace to the prime minister's mansion, and then all his previous efforts will be wasted..."

Han Zhong's face was as deep as water, but he did not resist Xu Zixian's suggestion.

In fact, it was precisely because Liu Zhiyuan proposed the Northern Expedition and became a watershed between the Han faction and the Liu faction. No matter how Han Zhong did, he had to insist on it. Otherwise, the major policy would be controlled by Liu Zhiyuan sooner or later, and Han Zhong had to strongly oppose it. If Liu Zhiyuan could be eliminated, Han Zhong's change would certainly not matter. It was just that in front of Xu Zixian, Han Zhong would be pretending...

"This is his mother's prime minister who upholds the national affairs..." Xu Zixian felt sad and powerless. No wonder the Wei Dynasty destroyed the country. It was like this from the world to the prime minister. It would be strange if it did not destroy the country.

"Please make a decision as soon as possible..." Xu Zixian urged: "You must submit a memorial and give a note before the end of the Neidongmen. Once you fall behind, you will lose your righteousness."

Han Zhong's face was unstable. He had been adhering to the country for more than ten years and had his own opinions in front of the emperor. As the prime minister, of course he could not rely on everything, but now he was led by the young man in front of him, but he could only follow the other party's advice.

"I now know why Lin Douyao and Han Bingzhong are so embarrassed..." Han Zhong sat down and began to write a memorial to agree with the Northern Expedition as Xu Zixian asked.

...

Liu Zhiyuan waited in the side hall for a while, and then an eunuch came in and invited him into the room.

Several servants stood in front of the palace gate and nodded and smiled at Liu Zhiyuan.

This time, Liu Zhiyuan has withdrawn twice. The emperor invited him to enter the main hall again. This is the third time.

"The great church is here." An envoy said aloud: "Please ask the emperor to stand up for his participation in politics."

The emperor on the imperial chair in the main hall stood up and glanced at Liu Zhiyuan.

The emperor was not so formal in the open hall. The light yellow robe, wide-breasted belt, and the clothes were of course the best materials. The stingers and weavers were all the best styles made by Su, and the cutting was flawless. The emperor had no belts, and the head was covered with a sky-blue sling.

The emperor was of medium height, thin, short chin, small eyes, and white skin. He was a very smart aristocratic image.

"I have seen Your Majesty." Liu Zhiyuan bowed long and said, and the emperor bowed halfway back.

After the official's family settled down, Liu Zhiyuan said anxiously: "Please make up your mind quickly. Once Han Zhong finds out what's wrong with this independence, he will start a sudden attack..."

"The prime minister may not behave like this." The emperor lowered his voice and said, "A little half an hour ago, Prime Minister Han sent someone to send me a memorial saying that he agreed with the Northern Expedition, but it must be controlled, advance or retreat, release or restraint. Although I feel that the prime minister is conservative, I feel relieved!"

"This is Han Zhong's doubt on Your Majesty's heart!" Liu Zhiyuan has always been favored and invited to the emperor to preside over the Northern Expedition. Han Zhong's sudden change of position can reduce the turmoil in the court and use the greatest strength to the Northern Expedition, which is probably a better choice.

For Liu Zhiyuan, the result was quite unsatisfactory.

"If you don't punish me, what should people in the future discuss me?" Liu Zhiyuan tried his best to send Langwei to surround the prime minister's mansion and arrest Han Zhong. The emperor originally intended to move, but as soon as Han Zhong's memorial arrived, the emperor's original firm attitude began to blur and shake.

What Emperor Chongde attaches most importance to today is his reputation in his later generations. He was eager to succeed because he wanted to gain the reputation of the "Zhongxing Lord". In later history books, he could create a situation of revival in the Great Wei Dynasty like Emperor Xuan of Han and Emperor Xianzong of Tang, and become the Zhongxing emperor worshipped by future generations.

It was really a humiliating thing to punish the prime minister without being taught. The emperor in the capital sent his personal troops to surround the prime minister's mansion, which made it difficult for the emperor to make up his mind to do such a thing.

"If Han Zhong supports Xu Zixian or Xu Zicheng as the culprit and the right minister agrees and cooperates, Your Majesty will be in danger." Liu Zhiyuan warned again: "Your Majesty must not hesitate, and such major events must not be taken lightly."

The emperor hesitated for a while but still couldn't make up his mind. Liu Zhiyuan asked for the only one to speak. When he mentioned this, the emperor was shocked and quickly summoned the Wei Wei, the Order of the Doctor, and the Order of the Doctor into the inner east gate. At the same time, he ordered the lock of the courtyard so that the news could not be left.

By the evening, Han Zhong was given a normal salary and sent a memorial to the Northern Expedition.

Today's letters from the Political Affairs Hall were also sent in. There was a letter from Han Zhong that rebuked Xu Zixian for falsely reporting his military achievements in Nan'an, Fujian and asked him to leave Beijing immediately after the exam. Although the right prime minister Xu Xiashang opposed Han Zhong's evaluation of Xu Zixian, he believed that the military achievements of Nan'an were true, and that Lin Douyao and Han Bingzhong and others were dereliction of duty was true, but he also agreed that Xu Zixian left Beijing and returned to Fujian, which only stated that Xu Zixian had outstanding military achievements and was a rare talent in the royal family. He deserved attention and gave him high-ranking officials and beautiful positions, so that all the royal families in the world had a spirit of upward spirit.
