The scumbag son-in-law dressed as a husband

Ever since the third prince Shao Zhen gained power, rumors arose in the court.

People say that Emperor Qing will treat his family the same way. Sooner or later, he will abolish the crown prince and pass the crown prince to the third prince, Shao Zhen. This time, Shao Zhen was asked to lead the army to repel the Tatars. succeeded.

The prince is in danger.

In fact, such rumors have always existed, but they have never spread so quickly and widely as this time.

Even the most honest and honest person should have some anger at this time.

What's more, there is no shortage of people around the prince to fan the flames.

The aristocratic family has been suppressed too much, and the deep blood feud with Lu Shuo has long been imminent, and revenge is urgently needed. This time, it will not end.

The wave that had been brewing for a long time finally broke out on this day.

Lu Shuo decided to delay time and negotiate with the Tatars. This method of waiting for work with ease is a good idea.

Although the Tatars are good at fighting bravely, the shortcomings of the nomads are obvious. It is difficult for them to fight continuously, and they rarely have any strategy.

Unexpectedly, things did not develop as he expected.

There was a new military situation from Hexi again. The Tatars did not know if they had heard the news in advance. They not only refused to negotiate, but also suddenly attacked Jizhou. Before the army led by the third prince arrived, Jizhou had already fallen into the hands of the Tatars. .

As soon as the news came out, the whole court was panicked. It was the first time for the Tatars to occupy a big city like Jizhou. If they continued to go south, wouldn't they be far from the capital?

Such a crisis is unprecedented.

Both the court blamed the third prince's negligence and Lu Shuo's mistake, and the impeachment fell like snowflakes.

Xu Shengkai, the supervisory censor, wrote an extremely sharp article, pointing out that Lu Shuo had committed ten crimes.

The first is bribery and endless patents; the second is to bribe the internal supervisor to monitor the traces of the emperor; the third is to form cliques for personal gain and disrupt the court;

Wait, more than half of these crimes are not exaggerations, but real things.

Any one of these crimes can be put to death for others.

But Emperor Qing just stayed in the middle, and ordered Lu Shuo to atone for his sins. He must let the Tatars retreat within the time limit, at least not let them continue to go south.

As for the third prince, Shao Zhen, he didn't mention a single word. Everyone knew that Shao Zhen not only failed to make meritorious service this time, but also lost the possibility of competing for the throne.

But is such a result really satisfying?

Even if the crown prince is satisfied, the aristocratic family will not agree. They finally saw that Lu Shuo's status has been shaken. If they don't push it hard, and then wait for Lu Shuo to stand firm and re-account, then what will they do?

But now the only person who can speak in front of Emperor Qing is Xie Shu.

Although Xie Shu and Lu Shuo came from the same background, there seemed to be no conflict between the two, and many people believed that Xie Shu would become the second Lu Shuo.

But there are some differences between the two.

Lu Shuo used to greet people with a smile, kill without blood, but also soft and cunning. .

Besides, since they recommended Xie Shu, how could it be possible for Lu Shuo to befriend Xie Shu again? In this way, it would be of great benefit to the aristocratic family if Lu Shuo and Xie Shu forged a grudge.

Therefore, the family approached Xie Shu with great fanfare, and was willing to make way for Xie Shu. They can cooperate with many projects of Xie Shu's Ministry of Industry.

Xie Shu didn't know his attitude clearly, but he actually got the benefits.

What he wants to do, the six other departments are not incapable of compromise.Xie Shu has promulgated many policies. For example, the construction of the Ministry of Industry requires the cooperation of all employees, and the project of the Ministry of Industry also has the right to be independent. There should also be special personnel for personnel transfer and material delivery. .

These policies promulgated by Xie Shu have already begun to be implemented, and now he wants new reforms.

He wants to promulgate the Farmland Water Conservancy Law, encourage land reclamation, and build water conservancy. He wants to promulgate the traffic reform law and build infrastructure.

He wants to reform taxes, re-clear land across the country, and verify landowners.Even this, the family agreed with pinching their noses.

Subtly, Xie Shu's power is increasing, and more and more people are attached to him, while Lu Shuo's power is weakening day by day...

Lu Shuo, who was busy dealing with the Tatars at this time, was not unaware. He watched the family cooperate with Xie Shu, and at the same time read the article impeaching him. One of them was Xu Shengkai, who was Xie Shu's hometown in Jinling. Ended Jinling Wenshe.

Fellow township, fellow commune again!

In the dynasties where the imperial examination system is prevalent today, the fellow villagers can almost be regarded as the same party, not to mention the Jinling Wenshe once organized by Xie Shu?

Lu Shuo's heart was full of anger, he never expected that Xie Shu was the one who was manipulating all this and stabbing him!

As long as the war is over and he returns to Emperor Qing, the first thing to deal with is not the family, but Xie Shu!

But the war did not end so smoothly. After the Tatars occupied Jizhou, they were still greedy, and they had no plans to retreat.How can you retreat?After finally occupying a city like Jizhou, Hetao still looks barren after all.

The current leader of Tatar is the prince of the Tatar King. Unlike his father, he has far-reaching vision and greater ambition.

He grew up in Hetao, where there are many Han people. He has learned Chinese and Han characters since he was a child.

It was also his order to take down Jizhou vigorously, because a few days ago, when his father was preparing to negotiate with Daqing, he asked Daqing to give them enough money and food.

However, he accidentally heard the news that this negotiation was just delaying time. In fact, the third prince of Daqing had already led his troops on the way to attack them.

So the Tatar prince made a decisive decision and captured Jizhou at night when the defense of Jizhou city was relaxed.

But the Tatar prince's ambitions did not stop there.He didn't choose to massacre the city and take away everything he could, but to induce the Han people in the city to use him. Now he has a good understanding of the situation in the Qing Dynasty, and he knows what the chaos in the Qing Dynasty was like... ..

Lu Shuo and the third prince Shao Zhen were ordered to deal with them, but they still had bigger enemies in the court, and the two of them were not loyal and patriotic. One was the biggest treacherous official in the Qing Dynasty, and the other coveted the crown prince.

So the Tatar prince proposed that Tatar was willing to accept surrender, negotiate with Daqing, and accept Daqing's enfeoffment.

Anyone with a brain can see that the "surrender" mentioned by the Tatars is just an excuse in disguise.

Instead of paying tribute to Daqing, he asked for all kinds of things, and asked Daqing to entrust them with the land outside Hexi in a legitimate manner.

Such a "surrender" should feel wrong to anyone.

However, when Lu Shuo and Shao Zhen found out about it, they didn't seem to be able to see the way to it, and instead of urging the army to advance, they reported the matter to Emperor Qing.

Lu Shuo and Shao Zhen thought of one thing, since Emperor Qing wanted the Tatars not to go south, so there can be no defeat, and peace negotiation is the most effective way.

After receiving Lu Shuo's report, Emperor Qing submitted the matter to all officials for discussion, and all the officials objected.

Jizhou is an important place in Hexi, how can it be allowed to go out? Once it is entrusted to the Tatars, it will surely chill the hearts of the people in the world. Who will have the confidence to resist the Tatars in the future?

What's more, Tatar belongs to the land of barbarians. The barbarians have no integrity and change their orders day and night. When the time comes, they will send troops south, and Daqing will be at stake.

Emperor Qing also felt that it was inappropriate, but at this time, Lu Shuo came to report again, saying that the Tatars were willing to donate a thousand war horses every year to express their determination to want peace.

With the worst result, give a good one, so in comparison, Tatar's attitude seems to be sincere...

Most importantly, Emperor Qing also knew that Daqing's army might not have a chance of winning against the Tatars, and the consumption of the war was huge, and it might last for several years without seeing the outcome he wanted. Emperor Qing didn't want to be tossed and turned all day because of this matter, the previous wars were like this, Emperor Qing didn't want to repeat the same mistakes again.

If the matter goes well, the Tatars can be appeased and they will not invade again, perhaps in exchange for decades of peace.

Emperor Qing hesitated, all the ministers saw Emperor Qing's vacillation, and were very anxious, but they also knew Emperor Qing's self-willed temper, the more they persuaded him, the more Emperor Qing wanted to do so.

If this memorial is passed, Emperor Qing will definitely let Lu Shuo take charge of this matter, and let him atone for his crimes. When Lu Shuo returns to the capital, who else can take the lead?

All the ministers couldn't help putting their last hope on Xie Shu, hoping that he could say something to stop him, whatever...

Finally, Xie Shu finally stood up. He said to Emperor Qing, Your Majesty, the Tatars are not sincere and are fooling us.

Emperor Qing faced Xie Shu, the courtier who satisfied him in everything, was very patient.

He solemnly asked, why do you see it?

Xie Shu said, war horses are not a necessity for us, but what the Tatars ask for is something they depend on for survival.

When the Tatars solve these problems, then they no longer have to worry about the future.

Emperor Qing was startled when he heard this.

It's not that he doesn't understand this truth, it's just that he still has relatively optimistic thoughts, but when Xie Shu said it too directly, Emperor Qing didn't dare to fantasize anymore.

Emperor Qing asked Xie Shu again, what should we do?

Xie Shu said that we should enrich the country and strengthen the army, enrich the border defense, be ready to attack at any time, and make good use of all opportunities to counterattack.

Now that Tatar has solved the problem of food and clothing, he may not have the morale to fight. As long as he is given three months to prepare, he can defeat Tatar in one fell swoop.

As soon as such remarks came out, the officials were shocked, and Emperor Qing didn't quite believe what Xie Shu said, but at this time, a person with a firm attitude was more trustworthy.

Although Emperor Qing is aging and his ambition has faded a lot, he can't seem to be able to accept being insulted.

In the end, Emperor Qing agreed to Xie Shu's proposal. On the one hand, Emperor Qing sent someone to ask Lu Shuo to discuss the details of the negotiation in detail. He could not agree to the Tatar's request. On the other hand, he secretly summoned Xie Shu and the two new household officials this year. The Shangshu and the Minister of the Ministry of War discussed this matter.

On the same day, after the discussion was over, Emperor Qing asked Xie Shu to take charge of all this. As for the other two ministers, they had no objection at all, and they agreed to give Xie Shu the leading position.

Negotiating Negotiating Another Negotiating...

Tatar made concessions several times, and also noticed Qing Dynasty's perfunctory attitude, so he gave a final deadline.

But Lu Shuo had already sensed the change in Emperor Qing's attitude, and now all the pressure was on his side.

After knowing that it was Xie Shu who did it, Lu Shuo's fear and hatred towards Xie Shu reached a new peak. He never imagined that a poisonous snake was lurking beside him, but he never noticed it.

Now Lu Shuo is even more worried about whether he will be able to hold power as before even if he really returns to the capital in the future?

He heard that after he left the capital, Xie Shu had taken his place. Emperor Qing's birthday and poems were all written by Xie Shu, and his people in the court also attached themselves to Xie Shu one after another.

He was impeached before, Emperor Qing just kept the memorial, what will happen after he returns to Beijing?

And Shao Zhen has the same concerns. He and Xie Shu have already formed an indissoluble enmity, and now they are even more hopeless for the throne, so why not do one thing and keep the other...

On the other side of the capital, the prince was also restless.

Emperor Qing did not give him a definite answer for a long time, and his capricious attitude frustrated the hopes of the people on the prince's side time and time again.

What the prince was even more terrified of was that the news Tatar accidentally learned was actually leaked by his subordinates.

If Lu Shuo and Shao Zhen return to Beijing smoothly, it will be a bloodbath.

Now the only one who can face the saint is Xie Shu. Maybe Xie Shu knows what his father wants, but Xie Shu never replied.

Seeing the time passing day by day, the prince finally made up his mind under the persuasion of the people around him.

Royal father, royal father, you forced me to do this.

That night, Emperor Qing was shaken awake from his dream by someone on the dragon bed, and Wei Qingtong shouted in panic, Your Majesty, the Forbidden City is besieged!

Emperor Qing turned pale with fright, and hurriedly called someone to escort him. It was Liu Qiang and a group of inner eunuchs who came.

Only then did Emperor Qing know that his crown prince was planning to force the palace, which was really a stimulus to the aged Qing Emperor.

Emperor Qing watched the lights outside the window getting closer and closer, and his heart became more and more depressed.

Who else can stop it at this time?

The Jingdu guards are stationed outside the city. Since the crown prince has long been prepared, he will definitely seal off the whole city. However, the elite soldiers led by the third prince Shao Zhen are still far away in Hexi, and it is too late to come back.

Fortunately, the inner eunuch led by Liu Qiang desperately resisted the palace gate, so that the defeat would not come so quickly.

The time passed so long, and the sky was still dark. Emperor Qing made decent preparations and took out the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, but at the same time, there was still hope in his heart.

He thought, someone will notice something is wrong this night!

During the third watch, the gate of the inner palace was knocked down.

But not only the prince's people came, but also Xie Shu who led the guards of the capital.

In the past three months, Xie Shu's improved armament has achieved a lot of results. Everyone in his new Shenji Battalion has distributed firearms, which is far beyond what ordinary troops can resist.

The crown prince's palace change failed, and before Emperor Qing could deal with it, he committed suicide in fear of crime.

Looking at the prince's body, Emperor Qing couldn't get sick, and he didn't know what kind of regret he felt in his heart, but Emperor Qing didn't intend to stop because of the death of the prince.

Be sure to investigate thoroughly!Thorough investigation!

Emperor Qing ordered Xie Shu to still seal off the whole city, guarding the nine gates of the capital and the key points in the north and south. No one is allowed to enter or leave without his order, and no news from outside the palace can be spread.

Who instigated the prince?There is a price to pay.

This palace ban lasted for seven days. In the closed capital, the ministers were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in a cage.

But everyone knew clearly that it was Xie Shu who decided their fate at this time, not Emperor Qing who was unconscious during the illness.

Thousands of miles away, Shao Zhen, who was plotting how to win the throne, also learned about the prince's forced palace.

Shao Zhen was angry at first, and then overjoyed.

God-sent opportunity, he just happened to be able to return to Beijing with the banner on the side of the Qing emperor.

But Lu Shuo was worried.

From Lu Shuo's point of view, the crown prince is a kind and cowardly person. He can make up his mind to force the palace, but what kind of desperate situation has he come to?

But Emperor Qing has not yet made the decision to pass on the throne to Shao Zhen, who is behind all this, or is it just fake news?

But Lu Shuo's persuasion could no longer extinguish Shao Zhen's anger.

Shao Zhen was determined to bring the army back to the capital. While on the way, news came that the capital had been locked down, and everything was confirmed.

Shao Zhen asked the army to speed up the march, and he wanted to rush back to the capital as soon as possible.

Finally, only a hundred miles away from the capital, Shao Zhen asked people to be stationed outside, hoping to find out more news.

Emperor Qing had been drowsy due to his illness for the past few days. At this time, when he heard Xie Shu's report, he sat up with energy.

Unexpectedly, when he heard the sad news of a bolt from the blue, Xie Shu said that the third prince Shao Zhen didn't report it, so he returned to the capital privately with the army, and the soldiers were already approaching the city.

Is there such a thing?

Emperor Qing felt that there was still some inside story, but at this time, there was no reason to make any mistakes, even the crown prince could force the palace for the throne, so what about the third prince?

But Emperor Qing didn't want to kill another son.

So Emperor Qing issued an edict and sent someone to send it to Shao Zhen. He wanted to hear Shao Zhen's explanation. What if there was a misunderstanding?

But when Shao Zhen learned that it was Xie Shu who sent someone to deliver the letter, how could he accept it?

On the contrary, it was Lu Shuo who noticed the more complicated inside story. If the prince's coercion succeeded, how could Xie Shu be by Emperor Qing's side?

This shows that the prince has failed!

But if the crown prince failed, Shao Zhen's return would no longer be justified.

But even if Shao Zhen really admitted his mistake, how could he allow Shao Zhen to ascend the throne now that Xie Shu is by Emperor Qing's side.

And for him, who is the best candidate to succeed him?

After thinking through all this, Lu Shuo fell into deep fear.

It's not hard to imagine what kind of role Xie Shu played in this palace change, or it's not just this palace change.

Looking at the overall situation, the invisible hand that pushed the situation to this step step by step turned out to be Xie Shu.

Lu Shuo saw it through, and Shao Zhen also figured it out. The attack on the city must be done as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late.

But they could think clearly, but they couldn't convince all the soldiers.

Attacking the capital, what kind of treason is this!

Even if the crown prince forced the palace, and his name is not right, but he is the crown prince, the original heir, the third prince is still the third prince!

As for Lu Shuo, his reputation is even worse. Everyone in the world knows that he is a traitor. A few months ago, articles impeaching him were circulated everywhere.

Is such a person worth their lives?

Just when the soldiers were hesitating, Xie Shu led people to stand on the city wall of the capital and read out the imperial edict of Emperor Qing.

It turns out that Emperor Qing is still in power now, and the prince's coercion has been suppressed. Emperor Qing summoned one of the three princes to enter the city immediately, and the others stayed outside the city.

This was originally a normal will, no one would doubt that his father would attack his son, right?

But Shao Zhen was not afraid of Emperor Qing, but Xie Shu.

He looked at Xie Shu on the city wall and never felt such fear. Should he go in?What kind of future and destiny awaits him?

Shao Zhen finally hesitated, and his hesitation immediately aroused the suspicion of others.

In the end, Xie Shu ordered people to open the city gate, and soldiers spontaneously surrounded Shao Zhen. As for Lu Shuo, he did not escape.

The two were brought in front of Xie Shu, he ignored Shao Zhen, but walked to Lu Shuo's side.

Lu Shuo's hair on the temples was messed up by the pulling of the soldiers. He looked at Xie Shu and said without losing his grace: "I lost to you, Xie Shu, I am not as ambitious as you!" .”

Lu Shuo's judgment on Xie Shu was not a kind of irony, but he sincerely felt that Xie Shu was clever, and he also learned more secret information from the third prince.

Only then did he understand Xie Shu's real means.

As long as Emperor Qing dies, no one else will succeed him, but the eighth prince born to Wei Qingtong.

But in this world, where is there a three-year-old emperor?
