Novel..org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Han Guan!
"Junior has never said such a thing."
You, Zhang Hua, are a master at making peace with each other, and Wang Sheng is not an easy character to get along with either!
Zhang Hua glanced at Wang Sheng lightly and said, "As a junior, do you think that if you don't tell me about this matter, I won't know about the matter of the Crown Prince's uterus?"
"Does Mr. Zhang know?"
Zhang Hua took a deep look at Wang Sheng and said, "I don't know."
"That's good."
Wang Sheng smiled meaningfully.
"hehe."
Zhang Hua rolled his eyes at Wang Sheng and said meaningfully: "When I was as old as you, I thought that there was no one smarter than me in the world. Who would have thought that when I arrived in Luoyang, it became difficult for me to move forward."
Wang Sheng knew the meaning of Zhang Hua's words, but this did not delay Wang Sheng's thoughts and words.
"This junior does not think that I am the smartest person in the world. On the contrary, I feel that I am the stupidest person in the world."
"What you did in Luoyang is not something a stupid person would do."
"It's just a coincidence. It's just a coincidence."
"You have a smooth tongue. After talking to the old man for so long, I'm afraid you haven't told the truth?"
Wang Sheng smiled softly, waved his hand and said, "To each other."
Zhang Hua was choked by Wang Sheng's words.
"Shameless boy."
Although the words were scolding Wang Sheng, the color on Zhang Hua's face did not look like he was angry. Instead, there was a smile on the old face.
"When you are an official, the most important thing you need is face, and the last thing you need is face. It seems you have both of these things."
Zhang Hua seemed to have thought of something and shook his head slightly.
"I have also heard about the prince's stay in Changqiu Palace."
"Master Zhang Yi thought it was Mr. Zhang's eyes."
"The prince thinks so too?"
Zhang Hua asked as if he was concerned.
"It's hard for the prince to believe Mr. Zhang now."
"It seems that the prince is really planning to attack the middle palace!" From Wang Sheng's words, Zhang Hua already knew the general outline of the matter.
While talking, Zhang Hua tinkered with the ginseng tea in front of him.
There are several flowers and leaves in this ginseng tea, which look quite beautiful, and the strong ginseng flavor complements each other somewhat.
"When people get old, they have to drink tea."
"Ginseng tea is a great tonic, but it is not a good tea for the elderly."
"hehe."
Zhang Hua smiled and said nothing.
"The prince wants you to come here to convince me to help him? As you said at the beginning?"
Zhang Hua obviously didn’t want to play Tai Chi with Wang Sheng.
but...
However, Wang Sheng still wanted to continue playing Tai Chi because the time was not yet ripe for a showdown.
It will take a few more words.
"Who does Mr. Zhang think the prince is?"
"Juncai."
"What's the explanation?"
Wang Sheng’s question followed closely.
"He is naturally intelligent. Even the late emperor once praised him."
"But the selling of meat in the market is becoming increasingly cruel and wastes talent and virtue?"
"It can be said that I have watched the prince grow up."
There is really no problem with Zhang Hua saying such things.
"But he let me down."
"So, Duke Zhang attached himself to the middle palace because he felt that the prince was incompetent and had no virtue or talent to inherit the throne?"
"What do you mean by this? Do you think that I, Zhang Hua, am that kind of villain? When the late emperor entrusted the prince to me and other old ministers, it was because the prince was incompetent. That was also the oral instruction of the late emperor."
"I'm afraid Mr. Zhang won't think so."
Wang Sheng gently picked up the scented tea in his hand and continued: "What will happen if the prince and Mr. Zhang think differently?"
"How different?"
"For example, the prince is not incompetent, but deliberately pretending to be incompetent."
"oh?"
Zhang Hua picked up the tea cup in front of the table and took a sip of ginseng tea.
"If the prince is such a person and hides the old man from others, then he is not a talented person, but a gentleman."
"Is what you say true?"
"So what if it's true, so what if it's not true?"
"True, that means the late emperor was right, Crown Prince Xiao Xuan. False, that means you are fooling me."
"If it is true, will Mr. Zhang abandon the middle palace and turn to the prince?"
"When did the old man become a member of the middle palace?"
"When did Mr. Zhang not belong to the middle palace?"
Wang Sheng smiled and said: "If Zhang Gongfei is not from the Zhonggong, this matter will be in the Tai Pavilion. He is the prime minister of the government and ranks among the three princes. If Zhang Gongfei is not from the Zhonggong, how can the Zhonggong believe you?"
Zhang Hua drank tea and said nothing.
Zhang Hua was silent, but Wang Sheng's words were like marbles, and he never stopped talking.
"Mr. Zhang, does he know what the prince said about you?"
"What did Your Highness say?"
"He said you are a loyal minister and a villain."
Zhang Hua's hand shook, and a few drops of water appeared on the ginseng tea in his hand. He slowly put the tea cup down and said, "Does the prince look at the old man like this?"
"The world knows that Duke Zhang is a great talent. In the past few years, the Jin Dynasty has experienced constant natural and man-made disasters. However, the Jin Dynasty is still stable. The credit is naturally attributed to Duke Zhang. However, the world is peaceful on the surface, but there are surging undercurrents inside. Zhang
Since I am a man of great talent, I can't help but see it, not to mention it is happening right under your nose."
"Mr. Zhang claimed to be a loyal minister of the late emperor, but he did not do what the late emperor said. Instead, he was nostalgic for his official title. If not, how could Gong Zhang be committed to the middle palace, and why would he choose to remain silent and wait and see when the prince needed Gong Zhang the most?
Woolen cloth?"
"Mr. Zhang is like this, is the prince wrong?"
"The prince is right."
Zhang Hua lowered his head in thought, then raised his head again after a moment.
"But you said it wrong."
Zhang Hua's eyes suddenly became intense.
"You may be right when you say that we are old and yearning for the official position. However, the discord between the Zhonggong and the Taiwong is not something that happened in a day or two. If it weren't for me, the Zhonggong and the Taiwong would be incompatible now. How could it be possible?
How stable have you been in these few years?”
"Does Mr. Zhang think he has merit?"
"How come there is no success?"
"Does Mr. Zhang know that he has done this?"
"I..."
Zhang Hua fell silent.
"It's true that Duke Zhang has merit, but his merits are far greater than Duke Zhang's. Even Pei Yu knows that the importance of the country lies not in the middle palace, but in the prince. Why is it that Duke Zhang alone doesn't know?"
"Zhang Gong stabilized the relationship between the middle palace and the Taiwong Palace, and achieved good results for several years, but he also buried hidden dangers. Could it be that Zhang Gong felt that a dike that was about to burst could be avoided by simply repairing it?"
"The Queen is not such a person..." Zhang Hua said from behind.
"Who the queen is, I don't need to be told by Duke Zhang. I'm afraid you know it well, but you just don't want to admit it."
"Since Mr. Zhang thinks he is right, how about you and I deduce the situation?"
"Deducing the situation?"
Zhang Hua had a look of surprise on his face.
"How to deduce the situation?"
"In ancient times, there was Guiguzi, who had the power of verticality and horizontality in his mind. He was in a deep valley, but he could know the changes in the world's situation. This is a deduction. Although I am not like Guiguzi, Zhang Gong is so talented that he may be able to match 10% of the future situation of my general.
Restore it one by one."
Zhang Hua fell silent.
"Then you can deduce it first."
Wang Sheng stood up, took out a wooden stick in his hand, and started scratching on the ground.
"Now there are five powers in the court."
As he spoke, Wang Sheng began to draw on the ground.
"The first is the middle palace, the second is the palace, the third is the aristocratic family, the fourth is the kings, and the fifth is those who are neutral."
Throughout the dynasties, there have been some people who did not want to get involved in the transfer of power.
In the Western Jin Dynasty, enjoyment was the norm, and there were far more salted fish than those with talents.
As for the aristocratic family, when Wang Sheng said these two words, Zhang Hua's brows frowned unconsciously.
"How to deduce?"
"The junior will deduce to Duke Zhang the situation in which Duke Zhang does not help the prince."
"If the prince is deposed..."
Before Wang Sheng finished speaking, Zhang Hua quickly stopped what Wang Sheng said next.
"The position of the prince is very stable. How can you say that the prince has been deposed?"
"The so-called stability is just a relative term."
Wang Sheng pursed his lips and continued: "If the middle palace summons the prince to the palace, and the prince is like a rootless duck in the palace, naturally he will do whatever the middle palace wants him to do. If he gets the prince drunk and guides the prince, he will do whatever he wants.
Write down the treacherous and unethical words. When the time comes, the palace wants to depose the prince, what will Mr. Zhang do?"
"After the crown prince becomes Sheji, no matter what happens, the old man will not let the crown prince be deposed."
"If Zhonggong insists?"
"Then I am determined to do it."
"Even if the head falls to the ground, even if the official title is lost?"
"Even if his head falls to the ground, even if he loses all his titles!" Zhang Hua's tone was very firm.
Wang Sheng sighed in his heart.
What Zhang Hua is saying now is really nice.
but...
What he said was different from what he did!
According to the historical trajectory, Zhang Hua will encounter the same situation as Wang Sheng said.
But at that time, his choice was not consistent with what he said.
What is said is always simpler than what is said.
This sentence is appropriate for any era and for anyone.
"If the palace insists, the prince will be deposed in the end."
"The ministers in the court will not agree."
"Fake orders to agree."
Zhang Hua nodded lightly.
"Just keep talking."
"Assuming that the crown prince is deposed, what does Duke Zhang think will happen to the situation in the DPRK and China?"
"If the crown prince is deposed, we will definitely restore him to the throne."
Here, Wang Sheng could only sneer twice.
The crown prince has been deposed. You told me that you would restore the crown prince?
The probability of this kind of thing is about the same as saying that you will never eat in your life.
There is absolutely no credibility whatsoever.
Of course, Wang Sheng did not talk about this matter here.
"Will the Central Palace agree to Duke Zhang's restoration to the crown prince?"
"Even if we don't agree, we will do the same."
What I mean is, no matter the outcome, I just want peace of mind.
Perhaps because he felt that his answer was not good, Zhang Hua asked: "If the prince cannot be reset, how will the situation change?"
"The prince will not be kept in the middle palace. Since the prince has been deposed, he will naturally be imprisoned in Jinyong City. At that time, the prince's life and death can only depend on the words of the middle palace."
"Zhonggong is not a fool. She doesn't dare to kill the prince."
"Of course she wouldn't dare to kill the prince."
Even if the prince is deposed, he is still the prince.
Not to mention that Sima Yu's status is very special.
"The prince would be released outside in the middle palace, and then some accident would happen to the prince while he was released. Unfortunately, he died."
"The prince cannot die."
The deposing of the prince is the most serious consequence.
If the prince dies...
Zhang Hua found it hard to believe what the situation was like at that time.
First of all, those who are too uterine will definitely be angry.
Secondly, kings will also be angry.
By then, the Zhonggong may not even exist.
"Although the queen is ridiculous, she is not stupid. She knows what will happen after the prince's death."
"Does Mr. Zhang know where Jia Mo is?"
"Doctor Zijin Guanglu has returned home."
"That's it."
Wang Sheng played with the tea cup in his hand.
Although this tea cup is not a jade cup, it still feels good to the touch.
Fallen leaves were flying under the old locust tree, and Wang Sheng had a smile on his lips.
The initiative of the situation is increasingly in his hands.
"Normally, it is Jia Mo who advises the Zhonggong. It is the Forbidden City that keeps the Zhonggong from being impulsive. The reason why the court is stable is naturally due to Duke Zhang, but Jia Mo, the official of Zijin Guanglu, also takes the greatest credit."
Regarding Wang Sheng's words, Zhang Hua nodded lightly without refuting.
What Wang Sheng told is the truth.
"But the queen still won't do that."
"Of course the Queen will not do this, but what if someone secretly instigates her?"
Someone is secretly instigating?
"Servant Jia Mi?"
"He is just one. The servant Jia Mi has a deep grudge with the prince. In fact, the queen's mother also wants the prince's uterus to be harmonious with the middle palace. The queen also had this idea, but the prince and Jia Mi were at odds, which naturally led to the prince's discord.
The relationship between the palace and the middle palace cannot be eased."
Zhang Hua nodded lightly.
Jia Mi has always been a headache for him.
Do you think Jia Mi is stupid?
He is not stupid. Among the talented people in Luoyang, Jia Mi is definitely ranked high. But you have to say that Jia Mi is not stupid.
It seems very stupid, and what you do does not take the overall situation into consideration at all.
Harmony between the Tai Palace and the Middle Palace is the best choice!
certainly...
Zhang Hua's idea is based on himself.
The butt determines the head. Zhang Hua is not Jia Mi, so naturally he doesn’t know what Jia Mi is thinking.
"Servant Jia Mi will indeed not let the prince go, but the queen knows Jia Mi's personality and the relationship between Jia Mi and the prince. Therefore, she will probably think twice about Jia Mi's words."
"nature."
Wang Sheng smiled softly and said, "What if King Zhao comes forward again at this time?"
"King Zhao?"
Zhang Hua frowned.
"Why does King Zhao come?"
"Who does Mr. Zhang think King Zhao is?"
"Incompetent people."
When talking to Wang Sheng alone, Zhang Hua naturally doesn't need to hide him.
"Mr. Zhang is only half right. King Zhao is not only incompetent, but also a sinister villain. Just think about it, Gong Zhang, if the prince is deposed, who will be the happiest person?"
The happiest person?
Zhang Hua thought for a moment and said, "Attendant Jia Mi."
"What's next?"
"You mean...King Zhao?"
"Have you ever been respectful to King Zhao?"
"I am very respectful to Zhonggong."
"I'm asking him about his real intentions."
True intention?
Zhang Hua frowned slightly and tapped the table with his withered fingers.
"Perhaps not respectful."
"The King of Zhao has a very high ambition, perhaps, higher than the Crown Prince's."
It is higher than the uterus of the prince, so it is naturally in that position.
The only throne in the world.
"What would happen if King Zhao persuaded the Queen to kill the deposed prince?"
"If the queen did it, it seems..."
Before Zhang Hua finished speaking, his expression turned very bad.
He thought through the key points of the matter.
"You mean, King Zhao used the queen to kill the prince, vindicated the prince, and eradicated the middle palace, and became the regent himself?"
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as the regent."
At this point, Wang Sheng did not continue talking.
And Zhang Hua's expression was not as relaxed as it was at first.
He was thinking about the authenticity of Wang Sheng's deduction.
The more he thought about it, the more Zhang Hua felt that Wang Sheng's deduction was good.
On the side, looking at Zhang Hua's expression, Wang Sheng didn't feel strange at all.
This is not just because he deduced well.
