In April of the sixth year of Zhongping, there was a solar eclipse.
"Milord, the spies in the capital have sent an urgent report!”
He took the wax pill and crushed it. There were only two words.”
It seemed that He Jin and Zhang Rang were going to fight.
He immediately summoned Kuai Yue and Dian Wei.
I wonder why my lord is in such a hurry?"
"The two of you immediately set off to the capital. No matter what method you use, bring my father-in-law's family to Jingzhou!”
"Could it be that something has changed in the capital?" The sensitive Kuai Yue had already discovered the problem in his words.
He cast Kuai Yue a look of approval." That's right. The Emperor has passed away. Unfortunately, there is no crown prince. The consorts and the Ten Generals will have a fight! I don't want to be implicated. Let's just watch from afar!”
Kuai Yue frowned slightly and asked worriedly," But with the relationship between you and those two sides, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to escape!”
Chu Huan smiled." Don't worry! I have my ways!"
....
"Lord Chu, may I know why you invited this old man here?”Cai Yong said indignantly.
It seemed like he was quite angry! Could it be that Dian Wei used some violent means?
"Father-in-law…"
"I can't afford it. This old man is not your father-in-law yet. I'm afraid this little daughter can't match up to him!”
You old thing, if not for the fact that the little loli has just grown up, who would be willing to pay attention to you!
"May I know what kind of etiquette this son-in-law lacks? Why is father-in-law so angry?"
"Ask yourself, hmph!"
Of course, Chu Huan knew that it was the simple-minded Dian Wei who had angered Cai Yong, so he put on a stern expression and looked at Kuai Yue and Dian Wei fiercely." But you two didn't do your job well and offended my father-in-law?"”
Dian Wei still wanted to argue, but Kuai Yue secretly tugged at Dian Wei's clothes and answered first," It's my fault for not doing my job well. Elder Cai insisted on not coming to Jingzhou, so I used some methods to make Elder Cai unhappy. I apologize to Elder Cai here. Please punish me, Lord!"”
"What apology? Even if it's an apology, it should be him. Without his permission, how dare you force me here? I'm not senile! Humph!"
Are you trying to take advantage of me?
Chu Huan sneered.
Since you're so stubborn, let's make it clear." That's right, it's not their fault. I was the one who instructed them! I believe that father-in-law already knows about the Emperor's death, right?”
So what if you know?"
"His Majesty has left the capital before he can appoint a Crown Prince. General He wants to appoint a Prince Bian, and Empress Dowager Dong wants to appoint a Prince Association.”
Cai Yong was speechless. After being an official for so many years, he naturally knew how big the waves behind him were.
"Father-in-law, you can rest assured and stay here! I will take care of the matters of the Imperial Court!" The sooner they perish, the better. I will be the Emperor, your daughter will be the Empress, and you will be the Duke. What a beautiful future!
"Virtuous son-in-law, I'm counting on you!”
Chu Huan revealed a satisfied smile. For your daughter, of course I will work hard.
.....
"Milord, someone claiming to be from the capital requests to meet Milord!”The butler ran in to pass the message.
"Who is it?"
"The other party refused to say. He only said that Milord would naturally meet him after seeing this!”The butler handed over a necklace with a huge cat's eye inlaid on it.
He took it and found it familiar. It was the most eye-catching necklace among the jewelry that he had given to Zhang Rang. It seemed that Zhang Rang had sent someone here.
When he saw the person who delivered the letter in the study, the other party hurriedly bowed.
"Greetings, Milord!"
"No need to be so polite. What does Eunuch Zhang have for you?”
"Fight for the throne! Eunuch Zhang hoped that Daren would immediately lead his troops into the capital. As long as the fight for the throne was successful, the next Great General would be Daren!”
Hehe, entering the capital!
"Please return to Eunuch Zhang. I will lead my troops north in a few days!”
"There's no need. Eunuch Zhang wants this lowly one to accompany Milord to the capital. As long as Milord's troops are not here, this lowly one cannot return to the capital!”
You're actually going against me? You can wait slowly!
Chu Huan smiled and said," That's good. It's just that it will take some time for the troops to gather. Mister, you can stay in the residence for the time being!"”
"Thank you, sir!"
Not long after, another piece of news came.
"Milord, another person who claims to be from the capital has sent a secret letter and requests to personally hand it over to Milord!”The butler came to report again!
It seemed that He Jin finally couldn't hold it in anymore. Dong Zhuo should have also received the order to lead his troops into the capital! "I know! Bring him to the study room. No one is allowed to approach him. Especially the person who came last time!"
"Yes, sir! The person who came last time had sent someone to keep an eye on him and wouldn't let him run around!”
....
"Greetings, Milord. The Great General has a secret letter for Milord!”
He took it and tore it open. As expected, he wanted me to lead troops into the capital. "Who else did the Great General send a secret letter to?”
"I don't know!"
"Help me verbally reply to the Great General. I will act according to his orders!”
"Yes, sir!"
He summoned Kuai Yue and Dian Wei again. After telling them about the matter, he asked," What do you think?”
Dian Wei was the first to shout," We'll do whatever the lord says!”
Fine, I'll ignore your opinion! Chu Huan looked at Kuai Yue.
Kuai Yue thought for a moment and replied," My lord, I'm afraid we have to enter the capital. We can only bet on one side. Otherwise, no matter which side wins, we won't have a good ending!”
"What if neither side wins?"
"Can't win? My lord, what do you mean?"
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!”
"Daren wants to be that oriole?"
"It wasn't me. I just received a secret report that Dong Zhuo's 200,000 Western Liang border guards are gathering, and their target is likely the capital."
"But Milord, if we don't enter the capital, we will be accused of disobeying orders. This will be very disadvantageous to the lord's future, right?”
