Chapter 183 A Gentleman Cannot Be the King of Han!

At this time in the court, the ministers all vaguely felt that there was something unusual in the court today.

Because the court had just begun in the morning, many ministers stood up clearly.

It shows that the achievements of the two princes are now equal and they cannot make a decision. The queen is also asked to continue to sit in the court.

It's completely different from what he showed yesterday, and his attitude is extremely tough.

"Comrades, no matter which prince you choose to succeed the King of Han, the other one will probably not be convinced!"

"If the King of Han is forcibly elected, it will only create a gap between the brothers. The queen should be allowed to continue to sit in the court, and when one of the princes has the absolute advantage, he will naturally inherit the position of King of Han!"

"This is also in line with the legacy of the former King of Han!"

"That makes sense! Queen, please work harder and continue to sit in the court!"

Soon, many ministers were standing in the middle of the court asking for orders.

The other ministers were also slightly shaken. They were not fools. They naturally saw that the situation today was a little different.

The queen comes prepared!

What's more, what made them even more confused was that General Fan Kuai, who had been in the court before, was nowhere to be seen today.

It was just reported that he was guarding the walls of the capital. Such actions would inevitably make people suspicious.

And the other party has always been very close to the queen. Could it be that...

At this time, they could only turn their attention to Prime Minister Zhang Liang who was standing aside.

The other party is the leader of civil servants and must set an example.

If even the other party surrendered, then the civil servants and generals would become the queen's people, and they would not have any need to resist.

At this time, Lu Fei also looked at Zhang Liang with sharp eyes. She was a little panicked when she didn't see Fan Kuai today.

But when I heard that the other party went directly to defend the royal city, I felt relieved.

As for the relationship between them, no one can destroy it except her dead husband!

The other party staying outside can actually make her feel at ease!

Because she had some preparations today, her people had the advantage in the royal city!

It is a pity that Zhang Liang still seems to be a little ignorant of praise. Faced with such a situation, he remained silent.

So I could only ask,

"What do you think, Prime Minister?"

Upon hearing the question, Zhang Liang glanced at the other party, and then said with a slightly serious expression,

"The queen really wants to sit in court?"

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that the other party would ask this question so straightforwardly!

This is not much different from falling out.

Lu Pheasant's expression changed slightly, and she didn't expect that the other party would expose her thoughts so directly.

So he said with a bit of anger,

"I just want to consider the big man and prevent the two princes and brothers from killing each other!"

"For the sake of the overall situation, I can't refuse!"

Now that she had reached this situation, she no longer had to hide her ambitions, so she continued,

"In these years, I have been in charge of the court, and the great man has been living and working in peace and contentment, so why not!"

At the end of the sentence, Lu Zhi's tone was already a bit harsh,

She was not wrong. In the past few years, the big man has developed well under her control.

Although she is somewhat partial to people from her Lu family, what's the problem with this?

If she doesn't do this, how can she better control the entire big man?

But Zhang Liang said without retreating at this time,

"Now Dahan is developing at a rapid pace. As long as we let nature take its course, we will prosper!"

"It has nothing to do with your governance, Queen!"

"And you indulge the Lu clan and use your connections to enrich your own pockets! On the contrary, it is harmful to the big man!"

Nowadays, thanks to the technology transmitted from Daqin, etc., various industries are developing by leaps and bounds!

No matter who is in that position, as long as no artificial obstacles are set up, the development of Dahan will not be a problem.

So he doesn't think that the other party has much credit!

However, under the protection of the other party in recent years, the Lu clan has developed extremely rapidly. In the long run, it will be harmful!

After listening to Zhang Liang's words, Lu Pheasant was so angry that his face was red, and he couldn't help but point at the other party and said,

"That's nonsense!"

"Zhang Liang, you are in vain for being a minister!"

"I will abolish your position today! From today on, you are no longer my prime minister!"

Seeing this scene, the ministers in the court fell into silence for a while. No one thought that the situation would develop to this!

Lu Pheasant did not give the ministers time to respond at this time, but continued to ask Liu Ying and Liu Heng with some severity,

"Two princes, do you have any objections?"

Liu Ying opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but looking at her mother,

But he still lowered his head somewhat dejectedly.

He doesn't want to break up with his mother!

At this time, Liu Heng quietly held a small porcelain bottle that was originally placed on the table.

Faced with Lu Pheasant's questioning, he took a slight breath and then said,

"Auntie, do you want to occupy the world of my Liu family?"

"Do you still want to sit on that throne as a woman?"

One sentence made Lu Fei blush. Now in the world, men are still respected!

I could only grit my teeth and say,

"I am just sitting in this position temporarily. Of course, this is still the world of the great man!"

The Han Dynasty was built by her husband in the wilderness. It is still difficult for a woman to seize the throne directly.

Even if you have this intention, you have to take it step by step and wait until the time is right!

Liu Heng stood up directly at this time, pointed at Lu Pheasant and said,

"Auntie, this prince has always respected you, but now you want to get involved in my world, but it is absolutely impossible!"

"Ministers! I, the Han Dynasty, founded our country in the wilderness!"

"You built it with your iron and blood! Are you going to give up this country to a woman now?"

"If this is true, how shameful will we be in this world from now on!"

"Besides, she was able to dismiss the Prime Minister's duties as she pleased today! If you all go against her wishes tomorrow, what will happen to you?"

After listening to Liu Heng's words, the expressions of the ministers could not help but change slightly.

The other party's encouraging words before may have some effect on the young courtiers, but for them, it's just a matter of listening.

But the other party's last words touched their hearts.

Because Lu Pheasant is now acting arbitrarily and independently, which is a bit difficult for them to accept.

As the prime minister, Zhang Liang worked hard and achieved great results, but he was dismissed by the other party even after a disagreement!

If they encounter this kind of situation in the future, I'm afraid it will be even more terrifying!

Whether it is for their own prosperity or for the safety of their families, they are indeed somewhat biased towards Liu Heng.

Soon, ministers who had already attached themselves to Liu Heng stood up and said,

"What Prince Liu Heng said is absolutely true! Please also ask the queen to obey the orders of the King of Han, elect the King of Han, and stop interfering in the government affairs!"

With someone taking the lead, more ministers stood up and said,

"Please also ask the queen to obey the orders of the King of Han! Choose a new King of Han! No more interference in government affairs!"

Seeing this scene, Lu Pheasant's expression suddenly turned purple!

She didn't expect that the other party would dare to confront him directly, and even just a few words would make the ministers favor the other party!

But she had no way out at this time, so she said forcefully,

"A bunch of ungrateful people! You really think I am incompetent!"

"Come here! Prince Liu Heng, disobedient and unfilial! Destroy the prince's position!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but frowned. Even if the other party was the queen, she was not qualified to dethrone the prince's position!

Liu Heng's mouth showed a slight smile at this time. The other party's behavior has completely lost the hearts of the people!

As long as he smashes the small porcelain bottle in his hand, the Han soldiers pretending to be his followers will rush out from where he rests. As long as the court is under control, everything today will be settled!

But at this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the court, and it seemed like an army was approaching!

For a moment, the court was a little panicked, and Liu Heng was also a little confused. He didn't have so many people, and he couldn't rush in directly from the front!

So these people have only one possibility!

Liu Heng looked at Lu Pheasant with some surprise. Sure enough, the other party showed a smile at this time.

Lu Pheasant stood up directly at this time, walked to the top of the court, and said loudly,

"Everyone, there is chaos in the court today. Of course I have to arrange some manpower just in case!"

"Now that the two princes have equal achievements, I and the ministers will continue to preside over the government!"

"Do you have any objections?"

She naturally arranged the people outside. After controlling the court for many years, she had of course replaced the guards with her own people.

Now it really works!

Seeing this scene, the ministers all knew that the situation was over!

Resistance at this time will only increase unnecessary casualties!

They looked at each other, and someone sighed and was about to acknowledge the other's status.

At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the court, followed immediately by a cry of killing!

But fortunately, the shouts of killing quickly stopped, and at the same time, the sound of neat walking came towards the court.

Lu Pheasant was also looking there blankly at this time. Of course he knew that something had changed.

But I don’t know where the variables come from.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for anyone to fight head-on with her people in the palace!

So everyone looked at the entrance of the court with some surprise.

Soon, a Han general appeared in front of everyone with a group of Han soldiers whose weapons and armor were stained with blood.

The leading Han general glanced at the court with an indifferent expression.

Then he raised a token high and said,

"Order of the King of Han! Kill Queen Lu! Welcome the new king!"

Before he finished speaking, the Han troops behind him took control of the court like wolves and tigers, suppressing Lu Pheasant.

Facing this scene, all the courtiers had no time to react. The situation changed too quickly!

Lu Pheasant only came back to his senses at this time, and couldn't help but shouted angrily,

"Who are you! How dare you falsely pass on my husband's orders!"

"Where is Fan Kuai!? Let him come to see me!"

The other party was under the order of the King of Han, but her husband had been dead for five years! Where did the order come from!

At this moment, Zhang Liang stood up and said calmly,

"I, the Prime Minister, can prove that this is the order of the King of Han!"

After saying this, he took out the letter and told all the plans of the King of Han Dynasty.

Now, the situation has been decided, and there is no need to hide anything anymore.

After listening to Zhang Liang's words, the courtiers had different expressions, but they did not expect that the King of Han, who seemed to only enjoy himself, actually had such a back-up plan.

Zhang Liang quickly said,

"Please also ask General Guan Ying to lead his people to retreat first, and you can continue to choose the king. A new king must be chosen today!"

Guan Ying nodded without hesitation. The order he received was for Empress Lu. How other people acted was not within his responsibilities.

Then everyone looked at the two princes in the court again.

But at this moment, Lu Pheasant shouted loudly,

"Ying'er, save mother!"

The only one who can save her now is Liu Ying!

Liu Ying, who had been silent at the scene, glanced at his mother with an unclear expression. Although he did not agree with her mother's actions over the years,

But in addition to being obsessed with power, the other party is the mother who has worked hard for decades to raise him!

So with a long sigh, Liu Ying stood up and said to Liu Heng beside him,

"Let my mother go. I will withdraw from this fight and give up the throne to you."

He had no interest in the throne to begin with, but now as long as the other party lets them go, he will give up the throne directly.

But after hearing this, Liu Heng looked at the other party with a complicated expression and said quickly,

"As expected, brother, he is a gentleman, but how could he give up this throne?"

"If the mother is not killed and the Lu clan is not eliminated, it will leave hidden dangers for the Han!"

After finally reaching the current situation, how could he give up?

Once Lu Pheasant goes out, if the other party summons the Lu clan members, the strength accumulated by the other party over the years will be enough to cause a turmoil in the royal city!

Upon hearing this, Liu Ying's expression paled slightly and she could only say,

"Then I can only argue with you!"

In order to save his mother's life, he could only focus on his merits and never compare himself with the other party!

You know, he has some achievements in opening up new territories in the past few years, but he deliberately concealed them. If we really want to talk about it, his contribution will definitely be greater than that of the other party!

Liu Heng looked at Liu Ying again at this time, and then said,

"Brother, you do have the style of a gentleman, but a gentleman cannot be the King of Han."

Hearing this, Liu Ying frowned slightly. He didn't understand what the other party meant.

Liu Heng raised his hand high at this time, and then slammed the small porcelain bottle in his hand down!

The small porcelain bottle fell to the ground and shattered instantly, making a crisp and loud sound!

Just when everyone was a little confused, more than a dozen Han soldiers rushed out from the waiting room behind the throne.

Liu Heng pointed his hand, and the other party surrounded Liu Ying, but they did not kill him directly, but waited for orders.

Liu Heng looked at Zhang Liang and Guan Ying next to him at this time, as did the ministers.

After all, how could Liu Heng's dozen or so people stop the opponent's army?

But Zhang Liang said calmly at this time,

"The order we received is just to ensure that Queen Lu will not hinder the selection of the king! Nothing else will matter."

Hearing this, Liu Heng showed a smile. He knew that he had made the right bet.

So he said without hesitation,

"Kill Empress Lu! Put the rebellious Liu Ying in jail!"

The next moment, a scream was heard in the court hall!

Lu Pheasant fell into a pool of blood. Liu Ying's eyes were about to burst, but in the next moment, she was knocked unconscious to the ground.

Before he fell to the ground, Zhang Liang glanced at him with some pity, then bowed to Liu Heng and said,

"Welcome to the King of Han!"
