Chapter 168 Conspiracy

Liu Bingyi is just a poor boy. People living in the Cheng Mansion will praise Cheng Mo for being kind and kind. But 12?? The disease has become a royal family. What will people say when they live in the Cheng Mansion? What will Emperor Zhao and Huo Guang think?

How could Cheng Mo not understand the various things? Therefore, he was busy planning to build a mansion for Liu Bingyi. After Liu Bingyi learned about it, he refused to accept it and said, "Although I have a royal family status, I don't have a title, I am just a lazy person. If the eldest brother insists on building a mansion for me, I will leave immediately. I will starve to death on the roadside and not separate from my eldest brother."

This is a decisive statement, but Cheng Mo couldn't hold on any longer.

It is true that Liu Bing has recovered his status as a clan, but he did not receive a salary. I wonder if he forgot about Zongzheng Temple. In short, he has no interest in the benefits of the clan. Except for the name written on the genealogy, everything else is the same.

Cheng Mo once entered the palace and chatted with Emperor Zhao, talking about the matter of establishing a mansion for Liu Bingyi. Emperor Zhao thought for a while and said, "It should have been handled by Zongzheng Temple, but the late emperor did not let him reenter the ancestral hall. Now I have not taken charge of the rule, so many things are inconvenient to do. After I take charge of the rule, I will be rewarded with him. He should stay in your mansion for the time being."

What Cheng Mo wants is the last sentence. The emperor asked Liu Bingyi to live in Cheng's mansion with golden words. Who dares to say that he doesn't say anything?

However, seeing that Emperor Zhao puts everything on his hopes for power, it is quite similar to the modern joke: When I have money, I buy two bowls of soy milk, drink one bowl, and pour out one bowl. I put everything on power, but now I don’t do anything. When it’s time to power, can I do it?

Besides, did he take power? This is something Cheng Mo has never been sure about. If there was no deviation in history, the next emperor was Liu Bingyi. This should be true. In this way, even if he took power, it would not last long. How much can an emperor who took power for a short time?

Cheng Mo said: "Yes, I thank Your Majesty. But Your Majesty should cheer up..." He told a lot about what he knew, the stories of self-improvement in later generations.

Emperor Zhao showed an impatient look as he listened, and said, "You are just talking about war on paper. How can you strive for strength? If I have not taken charge of the country, how can I strive for strength?"

Cheng Mo was silent. The difference between the two was that Cheng Mo believed that he should accumulate strength now and prepare first. At the age of twenty, even if Huo Guang refused to hand over power and gave him a crown, he could use his own strength to force Huo Guang to hand over power. However, Emperor Zhao wanted to work hard after gaining power.

Seeing that he was not interested in listening, Cheng Mo had to leave. This time, Emperor Zhao did not keep him.

Cheng Mo walked out of Xuanshi Hall, stood at the door carrying a halberd, looking at the clear blue sky, feeling extremely depressed.

At this time, several knights in uniform had just rode out of the city gate, traveled all the morning and stayed overnight. A few days later, they arrived at the mansion of King Yan Liu Dan.

King Liu Dan of Yan was the third son of Emperor Wu and the elder brother of Emperor Zhao. He was older than Emperor Zhao, but he was not able to be made emperor, and he was dissatisfied with him. Over the years, he contacted the ministers in the capital from time to time to question the legitimacy of Emperor Zhao's succession.

Before Emperor Wu died, he appointed Emperor Zhao as the crown prince, and asked Huo Guang, Shangguan Jie and others to assist him. The legitimacy is unquestionable. Therefore, he made many small moves but failed to shake Emperor Zhao's throne.

Of course, during this process, Emperor Zhao was once depressed and angry, and was inevitably worried.

Now, Liu Dan received the bamboo slips and opened them. It was Shangguan Jie who asked him to kill Huo Guang, depose Emperor Zhao, and make him the emperor. If there were important officials who were internal and external, he would have the opportunity to ascend the throne to the emperor.

After reading the letter, he was overjoyed and immediately wrote a letter and requested to go to Beijing to see him.

The vassal kings were unable to enter the capital without permission.

Huo Guang received the memorial, of course he did not agree. From time to time, why did you, a vassal king, come to the capital for a long time?

Shangguan Jie reported this again in the morning court. Emperor Zhao had no good feelings for the elder brother, so he handed it over to Huo Guang on the grounds that he did not take charge of the government. Huo Guang refused again.

Shangguan Jie wrote another letter to Liu Dan, asking him to disguise himself in Beijing, and ensure that he would get what he wanted.

The emperor's throne was waving to him. How could such a peerless opportunity be missed? Liu Dan immediately agreed, and after disguising himself as an excuse to hunt, he rushed to the capital after disguising himself.

This is Mr. Mo’s plan for Shangguan Jie.

Huo Guang did not know that the danger was approaching and handled government affairs as usual. Emperor Zhao also did not know about the conspiracy between Liu Dan and Shangguan Jie, and was still depressedly waiting for the day of taking office. As for Cheng Mo, he went to the palace to serve in a job every day and was often spoken by Xuan in Xuan's room.

After Liu Dan arrived in Beijing, he first went to see Princess Eyi and gave the elder sister a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to obtain her support. Then he wrote a letter to count Huo Guang's crimes. This memorial was submitted through Princess Eyi to prevent it from falling into Huo Guang's hands.

Emperor Zhao was sitting and talking to Cheng Moxian. When he received the memorial, he was quite surprised and said, "Why did the eldest princess not come if she had something to do, but submitted the memorial?"

Princess Eyi raised him since childhood and had some feelings. In the past two years, Princess Eyi left the palace and returned to her residence to live, but their relationship was still there.

There should be something big about the memorial.

Huang Andao: "I don't know that this memorial was sent by Uncle Ding."

Emperor Zhao frowned and said nothing.

Who doesn’t know that Ding Wairen is the lover of the eldest princess? Since he sent it, it was a secret matter. Cheng Mo stood up and said, “I’ll leave.”

It is better to know some things less.

But it was too late. Emperor Zhao had already opened the memorial and looked at only two lines. His face changed drastically. When he heard Cheng Mo's voice, he handed him the memorial in his hand.

Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment, is this okay? After all, he did not participate in the government affairs.

"Look at it." Emperor Zhao's face turned paler, and his skin was almost transparent.

Seeing that his face was wrong, Cheng Mo took the memorial, looked at it at a glance, sat down again, and said, "What will Your Majesty do?"

This is the rhythm of a coup. Moreover, based on the experience of Cheng and Mo being a human being in both lives, Liu Dan’s goal for such a memorial was definitely not Huo Guang, but it was most likely Emperor Zhao.

Emperor Zhao whispered: "How do you view this matter?"

Cheng Mo lowered his voice and said, "What did Princess Eyi say when presenting the memorial?"

If someone tells him that Liu Dan did not bribe Princess Eyi, he would definitely not believe it.

Emperor Zhao was also a smart person. He asked him to remind him and immediately said: "Xuan Liu Weiwei."

The Yulin Guard was the emperor's personal army, and one of its functions was to prevent a coup.

Liu Taofu came over quickly and learned about this. He immediately issued a series of orders to recall all Yulinlang who was resting, and arranged personnel on each important road, and martial law was imposed around the Xuanshi Hall.

Cheng Mo said: "Where is the King of Yan at this time?"

There were no airplanes and high-speed rails in this era. He was far away in the vassal state. Even if the coup was successful, it would not be his turn to the throne. Why did he have to work so much?

Emperor Zhao received a reminder from Cheng Mo and hurriedly said, "Close the city gate!"

Cheng Mo thought to himself, I'm afraid it's too late.
