Chapter 182: Kill Empress Lu and Welcome the King of Han!

Facing Lu Pheasant's question, Zhang Liang did not remain silent for too long. Instead, he glanced at the other party thoughtfully, and instead of answering the other party's question directly, he said,

"Choosing a king for the country is a major matter for the country, and the two princes are already here, so it is not appropriate to change it without authorization."

Hearing this answer, Lu Zhi frowned obviously. This was certainly not the answer she wanted. She had also tried to win over Zhang over the years, but to no avail.

As expected, the other party is not standing with her now.

This made her regret slightly. At first, she actually wanted to set the time longer.

However, the situation was different at that time. Her foundation was still shallow and she had no support from anyone except Fan Kuai.

If you directly say 10 years, or longer, then I am afraid that other people will not agree.

That’s why I said 5 years. During these 5 years, she has not been idle and has been taking care of her life.

It can be said that she has a group of people who can be used, but now she has to hand over her power. Naturally, she will not be willing to do so.

Seeing the stalemate in the court, Lu Zhi couldn't help but look at it and said to Fan Kuai,

"What do you think, General?"

Fan Kuai hesitated slightly when he heard the question. Of course he listened to his elder brother.

But now. The situations of the two are almost the same, so it is indeed difficult to choose them directly.

For a time, the entire court fell into a strange silence.

Fortunately, Fan Kuai finally made up his mind. No matter what, the throne would still be given to his eldest brother's son, his sister-in-law. Considered an outsider.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Pheasant say at this time,

"Since you haven't thought it through yet, there's no rush to do this. I'm a little tired, so why don't we discuss it tomorrow!"

After speaking, he didn't give others a chance to speak, and walked directly towards his palace with them.

The ministers in the court were stunned for a moment and then dispersed.

Because now the other party is still nominally in control of the court.

And it is indeed difficult to make a decision now. Everyone went back to discuss it for a while, and it was considered a solution, but they didn't think too much about anything else.

After all, the queen's position is unshakable. Even if a new king succeeds to the throne and the queen becomes the queen mother, she will still enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life.

Soon, only Liu Heng and Liu Ying were left in the court.

Liu Heng was about to get up and leave, but Liu Ying's voice came from beside him,

"Brother, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

Liu Heng turned around and saw Liu Ying with a sincere face, but there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes, and he quickly returned,

"Brother, what advice do you have?"

Looking at the other party's appearance, Liu Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly and said,

"You and I are brothers, why should we be so different from each other?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Heng just twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a smile that was not even a smile, and returned,

"Big Brother is saying that you and I should move around more."

Looking at Liu Heng who is smiling but not smiling,

Liu Ying sighed silently, and then said,

"I just want to tell you that I am not forcing the throne. I just want to fulfill my father's last wish and help you."

Liu Heng was slightly stunned this time. He did not expect that the other party would say such words.

But he quickly came to his senses, and the alertness in his eyes became even more profound.

Then he said,

"In that case, why doesn't the eldest brother express his feelings directly to the ministers?"

"Then give the throne to me, and we will govern the Han Dynasty together."

Liu Ying smiled bitterly, and returned,

"I want to do this, but as you have seen my mother, I don't want to hurt her too much..."

Of course, he could also see his mother's desire for power. If he gave up directly, I was afraid that he would hurt her and would not be able to live in peace in the future.

After listening to Liu Ying's explanation, Liu Heng showed a sneer and said, before the other party finished speaking.

"In that case, let's decide the winner based on merit."

"Otherwise, I can't defeat you in this conspiracy. After all, your senior brother is the master of it!"

Hearing this, Liu Ying's face suddenly turned pale, and she pointed at Liu Heng with a bit of anger,

"What are you talking about!? What does my senior brother have to do with this matter!"

He never thought that His Majesty the Second Generation of Qin, who was like his brother and father, would be involved in this matter!

Seeing Liu Ying losing her composure, Liu Heng showed a smile and said,

"Brother, why are you so excited? Or are you being tricked by what I said?"

"In the past few years, I have sometimes wondered why His Majesty, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, lowered his status to become your senior brother. Now that I think about it, he is waiting here."

"If you take the throne of the Han Dynasty, are you going to hand over the entire Han Dynasty?"

At this moment, Liu Ying felt that all the blood in her body was rushing to her head. Although he did not grow up with the other party, he regarded the other party as a brother from the beginning to the end.

He has never done anything to hurt the other party. Most people would not take it for granted that they have reached this point.

I also deliberately took the mission to expedition to the south before, but I didn't expect that it would end up like this!

The other party can talk about him, but they can't insult his senior brother who is like a brother and a father!

He couldn't help but said with red eyes,

"I have never wanted to argue with you for the throne. The winner is the king. This is my father's intention!"

"Although I studied with my senior brother, it was my father who abandoned us, mother and son!"

"My senior brother has always taught me to respect teachers and love friends. Even before coming here, he only told me to take good care of him and protect the big man. He never mentioned the things you said!"

"In order to avoid suspicion in the past few years, the correspondence with me has become less frequent. I can only say hello to my senior brother through sister Lu Yuan!"

"Why do you slander him so much!"

Hearing this, Liu Heng couldn't help but frown slightly.

The reason why he thought there was a shadow of that person behind this was because Prime Minister Zhang Liang had always told him,

The current one has a vicious mind and is best at playing with people's hearts!

At first, it seemed that he was being played by the other party in the midst of applause. The famous wise man Fan Zeng was so angry that he almost vomited blood and died.

So be careful with each other!

But judging from Liu Ying's words, the other party seemed to be an upright gentleman.

Although he doesn't like this one, the big brother appears out of nowhere, but the other person's behavior in the past few years is indeed a true gentleman!

But he didn’t hesitate for too long. Liu Heng shook his head slightly and said,

"Since the winner is king, we will judge success or failure based on winning or losing."

After saying that, he left the angry Liu Ying behind and left here directly.

After leaving the court, Liu Heng walked quickly outside, and then caught up with Zhang Liang, who was still not far away.

The other party is quite supportive of him.

After meeting, he said straight to the point,

"Prime Minister, the queen seems reluctant to let go of her power now."

"And now the queen has her own manpower in the court. If it continues like this, it may be detrimental to the big man!"

Although the other party acted extremely covertly today, he felt that the person who had been sitting in the court for five years was not willing to let go.

Moreover, some ministers have begun to defect to the other party. If things continue like this,

If the other party really takes control of the government, it will be difficult to take back the power!

Hearing this, Zhang Liang did not answer directly, but quickly looked around and returned when he saw no one was nearby.

"Prince, don't worry, no one can change this matter after five years."

"Prince, please be patient. The results will definitely come out in the next few days!"

After saying that, he left here directly. Liu Heng on the side could only frown, and then left here.

He was still young at the time, and in the past few years, he had been living on the border, but he had not yet had time to cultivate his own influence in the court.

Thinking of this, Liu Heng couldn't help but vaguely blame his father who was gone.

Wouldn't it be enough to pass the position to him smoothly?

Now we have to experience these changes!

Glancing at Zhang Liang's leaving figure, Liu Heng's eyes flashed with fierceness.

No one can be relied on now, the only one he can rely on is himself!

Fortunately, in these years, in the border area, although he was far away from the court, no one was supervising him, and he also secretly trained some people!

If it really gets to that point, he won't care so much anymore!

He was born in Han Dynasty! Longer than a big man!

He is the real King of Han!

Not long after, Zhang Liang returned to his residence, but instead of going in directly, he got out of the carriage and hung an inconspicuous token at the door himself.

Then he went back to his room and started reading while waiting.

Soon the night fell, and in a blink of an eye it was already late at night,

Just as Zhang Liang was waiting a little anxiously, there was a sudden noise on his roof.

Zhang Liangliang suddenly moved and clenched the sword in his hand. He still had to be careful before he knew the identity of the other party.

Fortunately, a dark shadow soon turned down and arrived at the door of his room, saying,

"What can I do to summon you, Prime Minister?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in a deep voice,

"Now, the five-year period has arrived, and the two princes have returned to start choosing a king for the country!!"

"But Queen Lu Pheasant, formed a clique for personal gain, deliberately blocked the election of the king, and intended to control the government for a long time!"

"Please also clear the obstacles for the sake of the Han Dynasty and the King of Han!"

After the black shadow finished listening, he said in a deep voice,

"The King of Han has decreed that we will ensure that the selection of the king goes on as usual!"

"Please also ask the Prime Minister to send a letter to the general to nurse him, and leave the other matters to me!"

After saying that, he turned over and left again.

After the other party left, Zhang Liang directly called his confidants, then took out the previous letter and handed it to the other party.

Soon the other party disappeared into the night.

Zhang Liang couldn't help but look in the direction of the palace at this time.

He knew that tomorrow morning would be the time to decide the king of Han!

Not long ago, in the palace, after Lu Pheasant returned to the palace, he said to his entourage with a bit of anger,

"What's going on with those people? I signaled them today, but only one person came out!"

She has trained those people for so many years, but she didn't expect that at the critical moment, she would not dare to stand up!

The attendant smiled bitterly and returned,

"Queen, calm down. The situation is unclear now, and others are still a little wary."

Lu Pheasant said somewhat reluctantly,

"What's there to be worried about? They're just two young boys!"

"I really want to wait for them to sit on the throne! Can they still reap benefits for themselves so unscrupulously?!"

"Go and tell them that they must speak for me when they go to court tomorrow! Otherwise, if I retreat, they won't be able to escape unscathed!"

Hearing this, the entourage was slightly stunned. You know, Prince Liu Heng is just that, but Prince Liu Ying is the other person's biological child.

He was actually treated as an enemy!

It's really cruel!

But now, he had to obey the other party's orders, so he quickly took the order and left.

After the other party left, Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Of course she was unwilling to do so, so she handed over her power and quickly asked,

"Where is General Fan Kuai?"

Another attendant, soon returned,

"General Fan Kuai is guarding outside the palace. Do you need to pass the Zhao Zhao?"

Lu Zhi thought for a while, and finally wanted to say more,

"No need. Later at night, remember to send some wine and meat to General Fan Kuai, and tell him for his hard work!!"

Now Fan Kuai is still under her control. With the other party around, she doesn't have to worry about anyone using force against her.

In such a power struggle, he still has to be careful. It is good for him to win over the other party.

The entourage immediately took the order and left to prepare wine and meat.

Soon, the night got dark.

Fan Kuai was inspecting the walls of the palace. After looking around, he returned to the tent.

But when he saw the food and wine laid out inside, he couldn't help but smile and said,

"My sister-in-law, did you bring me wine and meat again?"

The Han army on the side returned with a smile,

"The general is wise!"

Fan Kuai immediately feasted. There are few people with a higher status than him now.

Of course enjoy the enjoyment.

I have to say that his sister-in-law is still a good person.

After having enough wine and food, he soon fell into a deep sleep.

But early on the second day, someone sent a military order.

Looking at the military order in front of him, Fan Kuai looked a little confused and said to the person in front of him,

"You want me, the general, to guard the outskirts of the royal city? No soldiers are allowed to come in!"

"Who gave this order!?"

In the past few years, he has been guarding the palace and the court.

Besides, such an order is a bit strange, as if facing a war!

At this time, the other party just said expressionlessly,

"The King of Han ordered General Guan Ying to take over the defense of the palace and court."

"General, please look at the signature carefully."

Fan Kuai squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and then stood up with his eyes wide open!

"Big...brother!"

The inscription and signature on it are none other than his eldest brother!

But Fan Kuai did not immediately obey the order, but directly took out his weapon and asked,

"Where did this bitch come from? How dare you pretend to give orders!"

His eldest brother has been gone for several years, how could he pass it on to him!

At this time, the messenger took out a letter again and handed it to the other party.

After reading it, Fan Kuai suddenly looked complicated, and then said,

"Since it is the order from eldest brother, I will naturally obey it!"

After saying that, he took the people and left here.

Guan Ying glanced at the sky at this time and saw that it was already time to go to court.

Then the order came,

"After all the ministers enter the court, block all passages! Wait for the order from the new King of Han!"

"Today's command is to kill Empress Lu and welcome the King of Han!"
