Chapter 470: Catch the Big and Let Go of the Small

"Whose orders are the three battalions following now? Eunuch Qiu, if this problem is not solved, the capital will really be in chaos!"

Chen Guanfu was obsessed with military power.

He doesn't care about government affairs, the prince, who will supervise the country and who will inherit the throne. He kept an eye on military power and the movements of officers and soldiers.

His actions reminded several other nobles.

Yes, things like supervising the country and inheriting the throne are not practical at the moment. After all, the old emperor is not dead yet. Even if he dies, the civil servants will definitely have their own demands on this matter, and there will be a lot of time to argue about it in the future.

What's most important right now?

Military power is the most important!

Several nobles were reminded and joined in the questioning.

Qiu Defu suddenly sweated on his forehead and felt weak.

"If Eunuch Qiu can't explain clearly, then we have reason to suspect that there may be doubts about the dispatch of troops to Beijing. Prime Minister Li, Prime Minister Yu, do you know what your plans are?"

Li Liangcheng was silent for a moment and nodded, "It's time to make it clear about the troop deployment. The three major battalions are causing chaos and fighting in the capital, which is simply ridiculous. It's okay that His Majesty woke up, but now that His Majesty is unconscious, who should be responsible for the three major battalions now? Dispatch has become an urgent matter that needs to be resolved.”

At this moment, the young eunuch was ordered to fetch the military talisman and the edict.

The ministers checked it out and found that it was all true. It is indeed the handiwork of the old emperor. The old emperor had already made emergency preparations. If anything unusual happened in the capital, the three major battalions would immediately mobilize troops to block the capital. As for what to do next, the edict did not say.

Why are the three major camps fighting each other? What's going on here? All the officials are staring at Qiu Defu.

Qiu Defu broke out in a cold sweat, "I don't know much about this matter. Why don't you summon the commanders of the three battalions into the palace to ask?"

"Eunuch Qiu doesn't even know. Could it be that His Majesty has arranged for another person to be responsible for dispatching the three camps?" Chen Guanfu smiled half-heartedly, as if he had a grudge against Qiu Defu. "There are rumors outside that the three camps are fighting because of the prince's participation. in."

"Don't say this nonsense!" Li Xiang was the first to speak.

"I don't know what Prince Chen is talking about." Qiu Defu suddenly stood up and seemed particularly confident.

"Even Prime Minister Li, Prime Minister Yu, and Duke Zhang Guo, the three major battalions have not given you face, and you are unwilling to obey the imperial court's orders and leave the capital. This prince is too suspicious to be too suspicious." Chen Guanfu smiled softly, "Two prime ministers, you are really Do you believe that the three major battalions are acting on their own? Not only did they fight, but they also blocked the palace. Now everyone is blocked in the palace and can only enter and cannot leave. This is not a good phenomenon. "

Don’t these officials want to leave the palace?

I want to die.

There are still a lot of things to deal with and arrangements to make. I was stuck in the palace for several days and couldn't get out.

The three major battalions occupied the territory surrounding the palace, and several battles broke out during this period.

As for the food for the three camps, the old emperor had already made arrangements and had his own supply of food and grass. Even if there is a blockade for a month, there is no need to worry about a mutiny due to lack of food and grass.

"If the three major camps are not resolved, let's discuss it here. Even if we say a flower, it will be useless. Everyone, am I right?"

"Chen Shizi is right. The most critical thing right now is to deal with the three major battalions. They must obey the order and withdraw from the capital and return to the military camp. How unworthy is it to guard the palace." Finally, an official publicly expressed his support for Chen Guanfu's statement. .

Everyone looked towards Qiu Defu.

The other party is a confidant of the old emperor, and the old emperor must have something to explain.

Qiu Defu said with a sad face, "Everyone, please don't make things difficult for me. Regarding the Third Camp, I suggest you have a good chat with them, and you will definitely be able to find a solution. You can't count on me."

"Your Majesty didn't leave any words beforehand?"

"No. No one expected that the altar would explode and His Majesty would fall into a coma."

"Why is Your Majesty unconscious? When will he wake up? What did the imperial doctor say?"

"The imperial doctor said that His Majesty has blood congestion in his brain and may not wake up for a while."

"It seems to me that there is something wrong with the medicine presented by Jixia Academy." Someone muttered.

Yu Zhaoan suddenly looked at the official who was speaking. He came from Jixia Academy. He snorted coldly and said, "Whether there is anything wrong with the medicine presented by Jixia Academy, it won't matter until I tell you. Also, don't bite people randomly."

"Since Prime Minister Yu comes from Jixia Academy, he naturally speaks for Jixia Academy."

"No! You have to have evidence to prove that the medicine presented by Jixia Academy caused His Majesty to become unconscious. I admit it! If you don't have evidence, just shut up."

"Okay, let's not argue for now. As I said before, catch the big ones and let the small ones go, and don't waste time on minutiae. Let's go back to the three major camps. And in case His Majesty is still awake, there must be a charter." Li Xiang He stepped forward to maintain order, but everyone still had to listen to his words.

He is the left prime minister, the chief assistant of the imperial court, and the head of all officials.

Do you want to rebel if you don't even give the leader of officials face?

"What Mr. Li means is which prince will inherit the throne, right?"

"Who else can inherit the throne is His Royal Highness Prince Zhong."

"The dethronement of King Zhong means that he has lost the qualification to inherit the throne."

"I don't admit it! The matter of deposing the crown prince is simply nonsense. His Majesty is obviously crazy and playing the piano randomly. I firmly deny it. In short, among the princes, only the loyal prince is qualified to inherit the throne. This is orthodox. Everyone. , ask yourselves, is Prince Zhong really not qualified? If he is not qualified, who of the princes outside the palace are qualified?"

"This is a mess, and it will take a while to sort it out. Besides, His Majesty may not wake up. It is superfluous for us to discuss here. The most important thing now is still the three camps. We must stop the three camps from messing around, and we must find a way to get the three camps out of the capital. We must never allow them to cause trouble in the capital. This group of soldiers caused trouble last year, tasted the sweetness, and came again this year. It's absurd!"

"Let's do this, send someone to try to communicate with the three camps and test their attitude. The Political Affairs Hall also issued a formal document to see the situation."

"Who should be sent?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Guanfu.

Chen Guanfu raised his eyebrows and smiled, and stood up without hesitation, "Thank you all for your respect, I will try to contact one or two. I hope it will work. However, I am afraid that this matter still requires the help of Eunuch Qiu. I hope Eunuch Qiu will not hesitate to give me advice."

Qiu Defu cursed in his heart, why did this matter come back to him. It was not easy to refuse now, so I had to bite the bullet and agree. I cursed Chen Guanfu a hundred times in my heart.

Without further ado, the two of them set off immediately with official documents and took a carriage to the outside of the palace.

As soon as Chen Guanfu got on the carriage, he smiled at Qiu Defu, "Hello, Eunuch Qiu!"

"What's good about you! What do you think you are plotting against me? I have said that this matter has nothing to do with me, and His Majesty didn't leave any words."

"Don't you think it's boring in the palace, Eunuch Qiu? There are so many people and eyes, and you can't even find a place to talk. It's so good now, I can finally talk to Eunuch Qiu in private."
