After listening to Lu Wei's narration of Liu Wei's death, everyone present was shocked.
The hall that was still talking about it was suddenly silent, and the faces of the five ministers who were talking and laughing just now were suddenly stunned, and they thought that Concubine Wude and Empress Dowager He had a conflict before, but they didn't expect it to be the death of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, which was simply bad news that the sky had fallen.
"I'm sure what you said isn't the slightest bit false" Liu Ji, the secretary of the military department, was the first to react, and asked with a frown instead of grief for the time being.
Lu Wei replied: "How dare a villain believe this kind of thing, although I have never seen His Majesty's body with my own eyes, but the whole army of the Cangwu battalion, Wang Shouren, Wu Qi, Zhuge Liang and other adults are also doing their best, and the whole army is crying.
His Majesty's body is being transported from Yunkai Mountain to Cangwu, and it is said that it will be transported back to Cangwu City in two days.
The villain was afraid that the generals on the front line would be confused, so he hurried all the way, and it took seven or eight days to return to Jinling to inform the adults. ” Which of the ministers present is not a human spirit, and they are skeptical of the news of Liu Wei's death.
After all, Lu Wei is not an ordinary person, if he is untrustworthy, he will definitely fall into the Lu clan to the point of no return, and fabricating lies will not do him any good.
From this point of view, Lu Wei did not have any motive to spread rumors.
In addition, everyone knows that Liu Wei is naturally adventurous, and can even do such an unthinkable thing as going to the meeting to visit Guan Yu alone, and taking the initiative to lead troops to attack Guishuang behind it is also in line with his style.
As the saying goes, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, and it is normal to walk too much at night and encounter ghosts, and after being informed by Meng Tian, it is also possible to ambush and shoot the Son of Heaven in the middle of the road.
But Lu Wei said that he was afraid that the front-line generals would mess up, so he quickly returned to Jinling to inform Minister Gu that he was a liar.
The discerning person knew at a glance that his real purpose was to come back and inform Lu Kang and Concubine Wu De so that they could prepare early.
However, Lu Kang did not hide the news, let alone use his power for personal gain for the benefit of Concubine Wu De and the Lu family; Instead, he convened everyone to discuss countermeasures, and in this respect, this old man is worthy of admiration, and he has not made mistakes in the face of major rights and wrongs.
"What is more puzzling is that since His Majesty died ten days ago, why has this news not been transmitted back to Jinling for a long time" Xun Yu pinched his chin, puzzled.
Mi Zhu nodded: "I don't understand this, if it is a flying pigeon, it will be about three days at most from Cangwu to Jinling."
Why did Lu Wei return to Jinling on horseback, but there was no news from the front?"
Di Renjie tried to analyze: "After Your Majesty dies, Meng Tian and Wang Ben will definitely take advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack, maybe the generals on the front line will not have time to inform the rear for the time being."
"It's just the time of a cup of tea, how much effort can it take to write a letter" Mi Zhu did not agree with Di Renjie's analysis.
Liu Bowen picked up the tea bowl in front of him and turned it in the palm of his hand, trying to calm himself down: "In my opinion, there are three possibilities for this matter" "In terms of strategy, everyone here recommends Liu Shangshu first, and I also ask Lord Liu to give you some guidance, and the old man listens attentively."
Lu Kang picked up the teacup in front of him and moistened his throat, signaling everyone to be calm and listen to Liu Ji's analysis.
Liu Bowen nodded and said in a deep voice: "First, just as Master Di guessed, after Meng Tian successfully ambushed His Majesty, he pursued and pursued our army fiercely, causing the front-line generals to fall into a panic, so that they forgot to send the bad news of His Majesty's death back to the capital. ” After taking a sip of tea, the conversation changed: "Of course, this possibility is very small.
A few days ago, I looked at the battle map in the south, His Majesty sat in the rear of Cangwu, and the front line Wu Qi, Zhuge Liang, Huo Quji, Xu Huang and other legions were stationed in separate troops, even if His Majesty suddenly died, causing a legion to fall into chaos, it is impossible for all legions to be in chaos at the same time, and even forgot to notify the rear. ” Put down the tea bowl and continue to analyze: "Speculating in this way, there is a second possibility, that is, the generals in front deliberately concealed the bad news of His Majesty's death. ” "Ah, this, could it be that the generals on the front line have bad intentions" Gu Yong was taken aback.
Xun Yu's judgment was roughly the same as Liu Bowen's, and he took over the conversation and said: "The death of the Son of Heaven will definitely lead to the collapse of the morale of the front-line soldiers and soldiers.
Concealing the bad news of His Majesty's death and preventing the situation from deteriorating is by no means ill-intentioned, but a choice that can only be made by a man of foresight. ” Liu Bowen nodded approvingly: "Yes, my thoughts are the same as Xun Wenruo."
If the news of His Majesty's death in an ambush is true, and the front line has not reported the bad news for a long time, it is very likely that it is to calm the morale of the army. ” "And what about the third one," Lu Kang asked anxiously.
Liu Bowen said in a deep voice: "The third possibility is that Your Majesty cheated to death" "Fake Death" Liu Bowen's words were beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone was in high spirits, "Why did Your Majesty cheat to death?"
"Hehe" Thinking of this, Liu Bowen actually smiled, "Ji still clearly remembers that seven years ago, the princes would join forces to attack Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu used Jia Xu's strategy to attack our army's camp at night, resulting in heavy losses for our army.
I will make a plan and let His Majesty return to Jiangdong by deceitful death, causing Dong Zhuo's army to follow and pursue, and our army will set up an ambush on the road and win a complete victory.
Therefore, Kei believes that the news of His Majesty's death may also be a trap set by His Majesty. ” But Wang Shouren, Wu Qi, Zhuge Liang and other adults did their best, the whole army hung up the white flag, and the camp was crying.
This is what the villain has seen with his own eyes, and he is willing to vouch for it with his head.
How can this be explained?"
Lu Wei questioned Liu Bowen's analysis.
Liu Bowen smiled: "This is a better explanation, if you want to fish, you still need bait, not to mention that Meng Tian and Wang Ben are both Guishuang generals and have experienced a hundred battles."
If you want to lure them into the bait, how can you achieve your goal if you don't act realistically?"
"Oh, listening to Liu Shangshu's analysis, the situation is clear again" Listening to Liu Bowen's analysis here, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it is not certain that the emperor is 100% cheating, after all, this theory does not conflict with the information provided by Lu Wei.
In other words, under the premise that Lu Wei did not lie, the Son of Heaven still has the possibility of living.
"I hope Your Majesty is auspicious," all the courtiers silently prayed for the Son of Heaven.
"Liu Shangshu, in fact, there is another possibility."
Wu Ruyi, who had been silent, finally couldn't hold it back and spoke.
Liu Bowen has gradually calmed down, and arched his hand: "I would like to hear the details, please teach my mother" Wu Ruyi said solemnly: "You have forgotten that Mu Guiying went out with the army, and he was friendly with the military generals.
If the news of His Majesty's death is true, it is possible that Mu Guiying will win over the front-line generals in order to help his son Liu Yu succeed to the throne, and then fabricate a holy decree to canonize Liu Yu as the emperor. ” After listening to Wu Ruyi's analysis, everyone present changed their faces and fell into contemplation.
Objectively speaking, this possibility exists.
A lesson from the past, a teacher for the future.
Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng died on the way to the sixth eastern tour, Li Si and Zhao Gao forged a posthumous photo, forced the first emperor's eldest son Fusu to death, and set up the young son Hu Hai as the emperor, which eventually led to the destruction of Great Qin, which is a living example.

As a virtuous concubine, Mu Guiying's status is on par with Wu Ruyi, and she has the privilege of participating in the military, and she gets along well with military generals.
It is not excluded that in order to help her son ascend the throne, she took the initiative or followed the example of Li Si and Zhao Gao under the bewitchment of others, controlled the news in Jiaozhou, and looked for an opportunity to support Liu Yu, the king of Lujiang, to ascend the throne with lightning speed.
After all, once a son of heaven and a courtier, if the civil and military forces of the Southern Army succeeded in supporting Liu Yu as the emperor and Mu Guiying as the queen mother, then these ministers of the imperial court could go to hell to accompany the "first emperor" Liu Wei.
Liu Bowen stroked his beard and groaned: "The news has spread in Jiaozhou, and this possibility is not too great."
But it is not excluded that the Southern Army fell into chaos at the beginning, and later there were people with bad intentions to bewitch Concubine Xian and want to emulate Hu Hai, so they did not transmit the bad news back to the capital.
As ministers who take care of life, we must fulfill our duties to Your Majesty, take precautions, and put an end to all hidden dangers."
"Then I'll have to take countermeasures in advance, in case His Majesty's death is true, how to deal with it" Meng Heng, who had not spoken, finally said a word.
"This palace believes that the crown prince should be canonized to the throne in accordance with His Majesty's wishes."
Without waiting for others to speak, Wu Ruyi preemptively expressed his attitude, "Qi Er is smart and keen, studious, honest and steady, and he is the crown prince appointed by His Majesty himself."
If His Majesty really makes a mistake, the crown prince can only ascend the throne to inherit the throne. ” Liu Ji, Xun Yu, Di Renjie and others looked at each other, deeply pleased, and said in unison: "It is the luck of the world that Niangniang can think like this, and the luck of the Han Dynasty is that after we unanimously recommended Niangniang as the first, we really didn't choose the wrong person." ” Gu Yong took the opportunity to repay the favor and said: "If Your Majesty really dies, it is natural for the crown prince to ascend the throne.
But the Empress Tang has died, the position of the queen is vacant, if the prince ascends the throne, he should be the queen mother. ” Several ministers looked at each other again, although Concubine Wu De was not the biological mother of the crown prince nor the adoptive mother, but the Son of Heaven had promised that Concubine De would be the queen when the Tang Dynasty's mourning period expired for one year, if it wasn't for Guishuang's large-scale invasion, then Concubine De would be the queen now.
Compared with Shangguan Wan'er, who is just a beauty now, Concubine Wude is indeed more qualified to be the queen mother.
"In terms of qualifications, it is true that Niangniang is more suitable to be the queen mother."
Everyone glanced at each other and affirmed Wu Ruyi.
In the end, Liu Bowen made a decision: "We are ready to support the crown prince to ascend the throne at any time, and at the same time send several important ministers to Jiaozhou to investigate the matter."
If Your Majesty is really buried, he will fly the pigeon and return to the capital, and we will support the crown prince in the Taiji Hall to succeed to the throne.
Then it was announced to the world and the whole country was buried. ” At the end of the meeting, everyone unanimously elected to send Meng Hui, Di Renjie and Gu Yong to lead hundreds of horsemen to leave Jinling overnight, and hurried to Jiaozhou to thoroughly investigate the death of the Son of Heaven.
Whether it is dead or alive, you must always make a stone come out so that a hanging heart can fall to the ground. t1706231537:
