Chapter 140: Taking Chestnuts from the Fire

 After Zhang Rang learned that the emperor was indeed not in good health, he decided to do something first. But he couldn't wait until things really happened, then it would be too late.

He summoned the remaining trusted servants to discuss and make decisions.

Zhang Rang waited until all the people arrived and said to his men: "You all go down."

After all his men had gone down, Zhang Rang slowly spoke to everyone: "Recently, I got a piece of news, and if the news is bad, it may kill all of us."

When the remaining people saw Zhang Rang's formation being so solemn, they all paid attention to it.

Zhao Zhong was the first to speak: "What is the news? Don't whet our appetites anymore. If you tell us earlier, we can start discussing what to do."

Zhang Rang looked at the few people and knew in his heart that these people were grasshoppers on the same rope as him. So he took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty may not have much time left. What do you think?"

As soon as this bombshell news was thrown out, the other people were shocked. They had never thought about this problem, or to be more precise, they were all avoiding this problem.

Zhao Zhong spoke incoherently: "Is the news reliable?"

Zhang Rang replied solemnly: "There is no problem with the source of the news. Today, His Majesty said that he was feeling a little unwell. After I called the imperial doctor, I saw that he looked a little unnatural. So after he diagnosed and treated His Majesty, I called him again.

, he told me personally."

Zhao Zhong looked a little cruel and said: "This kind of news cannot be leaked. I will find a way to shut up the imperial doctor."

Zhang Rang stopped him a little and said: "Let him disappear now. You can't hide it from anyone who is interested. Find someone to keep an eye on him and don't let him talk nonsense. This is not a small matter that he dare not go out and talk nonsense. Just in case, let him go out and talk nonsense."

People just stare at him."

Zhao Zhong thought for a while and said: "What Zhang Changshi said is reasonable, so consider him lucky."

Duan Gui asked: "If His Majesty is no longer in good health, what should we do next?"

Zhang Rang slowly said: "Your Majesty likes King Chenliu more, right?"

Zhao Zhong replied: "Yes, I think your Majesty has always preferred King Chenliu to succeed to the throne."

Duan Gui thought for a while and said: "It's just that other people may want Shi Hou to succeed, such as Queen He."

Zhang Rang said with a somewhat complaining expression: "I'm afraid Jian Shuo won't stand with us. He has always done things according to His Majesty's ideas. At this time, if you want to do something, you can't do it without soldiers and horses. If he

If we can stand firmly with us, we can compete with others."

Zhao Zhong said in a somewhat unkind tone: "We cannot overwhelm Jian Shuo with Baodu, he is not the same as us."

Duan Gui suggested with some uncertainty in his tone: "Then should we fall to Queen He? General He has always held the largest force in Luoyang City. Jian Shuo will not be his opponent.



Zhao Zhong said uncertainly: "I wonder if He Jin can tolerate me waiting? No"

Zhang Rang clenched his fist tightly, took a deep breath and said, "We have to be more careful from now on. I will go see Queen He and find out what she says. If it is suitable, we will turn to them."

.If it doesn’t work, let’s think of other ways. We have to make plans in advance.”

Zhao Zhong thought for a while and said: "Then I will go and find out what Jian Shuo means, but I don't think he will be on our side."

Zhang Rang said with anger in his heart: "Go and find out first. If he is not willing to stand with us, then we can only find a few people who are willing to come with me. Then don't blame us."

Just be polite."

On the other side, Liu Chang was thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity to do something when no one was paying attention to him. He would definitely not dare to attack the nearby counties blatantly, but while Zhou Mu had just committed suicide, was it possible to take advantage of his territory?

What about occupying it first? Create an established fact and actually control Yecheng.

It's not that far if you go there by yourself. You only need to cross the giant deer to get there quickly. If you lead the troops there, it won't be difficult for Guo Dian. It's just whether you should do this or not. You will be caught in the middle when the time comes.

What would Guo Dian think? You have to think about these carefully.

First of all, what should I do? Although there is no Jizhou Mu in Yecheng now, other officials are still there. Should I spread some rumors and let them flee? I heard that many people have already escaped.

Let’s spread the word first that the emperor is not going to let all the officials in Ye City go. After all, what Wang Fen wants to do will be punished by the Nine Clan. I think there should still be his accomplices in Ye City. Now Wang Fen is dead.

.Others should be afraid of being liquidated. How can they spread rumors by themselves? Will they also abandon everything and flee? As long as there are fewer officials in Yecheng, they can think of ways to occupy them. Liu Changyue

The more I think about it, I feel that there is room for maneuver in this matter.

So he went to call Zhao Xin, and Liu Chang said to him: "Now there is no state pastor in Yecheng. This is an opportunity for us."

After Zhao Xin heard these words, he immediately asked Liu Chang: "Master, do you have any plans? Do you need me to do something?"

Liu Chang said to him: "We can take advantage of the fact that there is no one under the jurisdiction of Yecheng and find a way to capture Yecheng first. You can send some people to spread some rumors. Let's say that the emperor heard that Wang Fen was planning to rebel, so he was going to take it.

All the officials in Yecheng were escorted to Luoyang for trial, and the outcome will definitely be disastrous. People will be sent to take them to Luoyang soon."

Xin Zhao asked with some confusion: "Do these words have any effect? ​​If they wanted to run away, they would have run away long ago. Isn't it too late to spread rumors now? They may not believe the news we spread.

There is a high probability that he will not escape."

Liu Chang chuckled and said: "What they want is to take the opportunity to escape. If they don't escape, just let them believe that the emperor has sent people to Yecheng to take charge of the overall situation. We will then go to Yecheng under the pretense of receiving the emperor's order."

Go to Yecheng to stabilize the situation. As long as most people in Yecheng believe it, it will be fine."

Xin Zhao said hesitantly: "It would be bad if we were discovered so rashly under the banner of the emperor."

Liu Chang replied affirmatively: "Now Luoyang can't take care of us and spread rumors first. After we actually control Yecheng, the emperor will have no way to refute our words. By then we will insist that it is true."
