Chapter 277 Li Hanyao's Second Step
The Empress Dowager was furious last time and wanted to kill Lu Chang, which led to the breakdown of the mother-son relationship. This time, he learned a lesson and used roundabout techniques to gradually alienate Lu Chang. Although he could not move Lu Chang, he could control Concubine Pan. Lu Chang first suggested to the emperor that Li Hanyao would enter the palace, and then recommended Pan Zihao to go to the northwest. The Empress Dowager had long suspected that he had collusion with the Pan family, but there was no evidence, so it was hard to say. In order to prevent Concubine Pan from colluding with outside the palace, the Empress Dowager wanted to hold Concubine Pan under her nose.
When Emperor Jiaxing heard that it was for him again, how could he not agree? He hurriedly knelt down and said that his mother had to worry about her illness and was very guilty.
The Queen Mother hurriedly asked him to get up and urged him to leave.
Emperor Jiaxing made a new reconciliation with the Empress Dowager during this trip to Cining Palace, and the mother and son reached an agreement on state affairs, and they couldn't help but feel happy.
He is no longer fighting alone!
The mother firmly supported him!
Simplified Chinese support him firmly!
He not only had Lu Chang, but also had old ministers such as Yin Heng, Zhuque King, and Baihu Gong.
After leaving Cining Palace, he felt that the haze that had been pressing on his heart for the past few days was swept away, and he couldn't help but straighten his back. Standing in the middle of the palace road, looking up at the sky - the snow was clear, the sky was very clear, just like his mood at this moment; taking a deep breath and then exhaling, and a ball of white mist spread.
He smiled childishly.
"If the emperor grows up because of this, these sacrifices will be worth it."
The Queen Mother's words were still in her ears, which made him excited - he is the emperor, so what if he did something wrong? Which emperor did not sit on the dragon throne with blood? Wang Heng, Liang Xinming, Xuanwu King, Zhongyi Gong, Cui Yuan, Xie Yaohui... These people can become the foundation stone for him to consolidate his country and their glory!
He returned to the imperial study room and continued to deal with state affairs. Because he was used to using Lu Chang's pen to record and drafting edicts, he still called Lu Chang to serve him.
Lu Chang was sensitive to Emperor Jiaxing's attitude towards him. His monarch was very powerful, unlike in the past, when there was a tacit understanding between the monarch and his subjects.
Have you finally abandoned him?
Yes, these people - Liang Xinming, Wang Heng, Cui Yuan, Xie Yaohui, Jian Fan... went one by one to suppress him one after another, and even a bronze man would be smashed. The day before yesterday, Xie Yaohui resigned from office and said that he was to let the wise and let Emperor Jiaxing use him more, but Emperor Jiaxing did not promote him, but promoted Jian Fan and Yin Heng.
Isn't dare to offend public anger?
Or don't believe him anymore?
To be with the king is like being with a tiger. Only today did Lu Chang have a real experience of this sentence.
How could he sit and wait for death?
He didn't know what the Empress Dowager said to Emperor Jiaxing, but he knew very well that Emperor Jiaxing was afraid of Wang He and his determination to kill Wang He.
He looked at the time when Emperor Jiaxing had a tea and rested, and said, "Because of the humble ministers, all the old ministers in the court were separated from the emperor, and the empress dowager almost broke into harmony with the emperor and his son. Even though the humble minister was heartbroken, he could not repay the emperor for anything. Xie Xiang resigned because he was afraid of taking the blame; the humble minister was not afraid. Even if he had been infamous for thousands of years, he would help the emperor get rid of his great troubles and settle down in this country!" After saying that, he crawled on the ground.
When talking about Xie Yaohui, Emperor Jiaxing's face sank and said, "He is not the prime minister anymore."
Lu Chang said: "Yes. The emperor does not lack prime ministers!"
This is what Emperor Jiaxing said.
He felt that Jianfan was much more tactful than Xie Yaohui, and his face turned clear and comforted Lu Chang, "You don't have to be discouraged. I wanted to promote you, but I was afraid that you would become the target of public criticism because of this, so I didn't mention you. You are by my side, and the level of official positions doesn't matter, but the important thing is that our monarch and ministers are united..." He used the emperor's mind skills to Lu Chang, which shows that the Queen Mother's words played a role.
Lu Chang hurriedly thanked the emperor for his kindness.
He wanted to show his abilities to Emperor Jiaxing, so he reported Hao Fan's plan to pretend to be Li Hanyao to Emperor Jiaxing, "I want to attract Wang He to appear."
Emperor Jiaxing was really excited after hearing this.
The Empress Dowager said that he could not destroy the Wang clan, but how could he give up? However, what the Empress Dowager said was reasonable. Destroying the Wang clan might arouse opposition from the scholars. He needed a reason, and a reason to kill Wang He and destroy the Wang clan.
Lu Chang found this reason for him.
He said in a deep voice: "You can arrange this matter well."
Lu Chang said: "Please rest assured. In order to prevent the leak of the news, please do not tell the third person the truth about Hao Fan playing Li Hanyao, especially Lord Jian. - This is also the meaning of protecting Jian Xiang."
Jianfan had an ambiguous attitude towards dealing with Li Hanyao's disappearance, and Lu Chang was implying that Emperor Jiaxing was wary of Jianfan.
This sentence touched Emperor Jiaxing's thoughts: the Empress Dowager warned him not to listen to Lu Chang in everything; similarly, he could not trust Simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese too much, so that these ministers could restrain each other, which was the way to check and balance. Therefore, he said: "Authentication."
Lu Chang said: "I have another word."
Emperor Jiaxing said: "Speak."
Lu Chang said: "When we release the news of capturing Li Hanyao, the Wei Me will not be able to predict what action Wang He will take. If he openly resists the court, the emperor can announce that he colludes with Li Hanyao to rebel, capture him, and seize the Wang family. The Suzaku King will arrive in the capital soon. The prince and Wang Hengliang Xinming are in good condition, and the Wei Me is afraid that he will not stand by. Therefore, he will do this before he leaves."
Emperor Jiaxing said: "It's reasonable. Approve the report!"
It was already evening when Lu Chang left the palace. On the way home, he recalled his experience on this day and was walking on thin ice.
He offered his advice and was valued by Emperor Jiaxing. He did not dare to be proud, but was more cautious, fearing that he would make a mistake, which would be a terrible end.
Therefore, as soon as he got home, he called his confidant, his former book boy, and his current master Qiu Yin, instructed: "Send someone to stare at Hao Fan. Don't follow too close, just stare at her from afar, and know her whereabouts every day."
Qiu Yindao: "Yes, sir."
Lu Chang said: "There are also her followers, and they will take them together. Even if they are acting, they will have to do all of them, and not to mention that they may not be acting."
His eyes were a little cold.
***************
Li Hanyao is also calculating.
She was in danger and approached Lu Chang, but did not regard this as the only way, and was opening up a second offensive path.
On that day, she pretended to die and escaped. Later, she heard Qin and Jianshu tell her that Huo Huangying had expressed doubts about her disappearance and said something.
Huo Huangying said to Tingqin: "Tell me a word to Miss Li."
Tingqin pretended to be stupid: "I don't understand what the girl said."
Huo Huangying said: "You don't need to understand, just bring me a word to Miss Li."
Tingqin said: "We girl is gone, we are looking for it. When we find it, the girl will tell her by herself, or we will tell her for the girl."
Huo Huangying chuckled and said, "It's all right. Tell your girl: I will cover it up in front of the imperial envoy-" Tingqin wanted to refute again, Huo Huangying raised her hand to stop her from defending her, and continued, "I don't ask her to promise me anything. She doesn't want to enter the palace, and I don't want to be a concubine in the Jian family. I am the same person as her. I'm just a little help to her today, just to ask that one day I escape from the capital and return to Jiangnan, if it's difficult, she can help me as much as possible."
