Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 54 Focus

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Lu Wenfu was not irritated by the other party's words, but he had to have an answer to the other party's words, otherwise it would inevitably arouse everyone's suspicion.

"Lord Ning, please pay attention to your words. It is His Majesty's arrangement to see Lord He. As for the reason, I don't think I need to explain to you. As you said, since it is already a dangerous situation, is it Don't you know how much turmoil your proposal will cause? I can't understand your thinking, and I believe everyone here can't understand it." Lu Wenfu replied calmly.

"Hmph, His Majesty has already gone, so it's up to you to decide at this time. The selection of the new emperor is a major matter for the country, so is it a matter of agreement? If a civil war breaks out, who should bear the responsibility? "Ning Yuanwang snorted disdainfully before saying: "I don't want to say more about other reasons. Whoever your Highness decides will inevitably cause turmoil in the imperial capital and even the empire, so we must be extremely cautious and seek the approval of the majority of people. Only by unifying opinions can the situation be stabilized. I think this reason is sufficient? If anyone here thinks that he has the ability to ensure that the new emperor selected will not cause turmoil, I will naturally have nothing to say."

Ning Yuanwang's remarks are indeed very powerful. Everyone knows that the several highnesses not only have their own power in the court, but what is even more troublesome is that they control a fairly powerful army in the empire. Unable to control the movement and mobilization of the imperial army, these armies have actually gradually evolved into the private army of several princes. What he said was indeed quite reasonable. At present, no one in the empire can control this situation. If there is any trouble, it may immediately lead to chaos.

"Could it be that Lord Yining's suggestion won't cause turmoil?" Lu Wenfu knew that it would be difficult for him to defeat this guy who started out as a clear talker in terms of verbal debate, but if he didn't say it clearly, everyone would be afraid. It is difficult to appreciate the urgency of the current situation.

"This official dare not say it, but at least we can get more people to support our final opinion, so no matter which prince ascends the throne, is it fairer? Will it also make those The few highnesses who have no chance to ascend to the throne are calmer, so they have nothing to say?" Ning Yuanwang talked eloquently, giving full play to his ability to speak like a lotus flower, and everyone in the palace felt that it made sense .

However, Lu Wenfu knew that what the other party said was just talk on paper, purely idealistic. Under the current situation, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, these highnesses would flee back to their lairs. There will be a full-scale civil war, but who will support him when he says this now, and some people will say that he has selfish motives.

"Lord Ning, what you said is probably just a beautiful fantasy. Once the news of His Majesty's death is known to the world, what will happen to the Highnesses? I dare not say, but the Kamanians, Ma Qi Have you considered what actions the Khan people and the Taiping Sect will take? Once there is a change, who can take charge of the overall situation? Have you considered it?" Lu Wenfu had to persuade him from the threat of the outside world, hoping to be able to Win the support of other ministers.

"Lord Lu, I think you are over-concerned. The Kamans are not bordering the empire-controlled area. If they want to attack the empire, they must first pass through the Terok and Taipingjiao-controlled areas, or they can only attack the northwest , I think no matter which road they choose to take, it will not have much impact on the empire for the time being. You don’t have to worry about it. Naturally, there will be people who are more anxious than us. As for the people of Maqihan, the river network in Wuhu County is dense and the water flows vertically and horizontally. , the superior force of the Machi Khans can't be used there at all. They are already lingering in Baling, let alone the Taiping Sect. Some, I'm thinking, I'm afraid the Taiping Sect members would have been kicked out of Heshuo long ago."

I have to admit that Ning Yuanwang's eloquence is unmatched. Although he talks on paper, he speaks clearly and logically. Lu Wenfu didn't know how the other party came up with the logic that the Maqihan people were dying and the Kamanians had to attack the Taiping people if they wanted to go south, but the other party's goal was clearly achieved. At present, these people are not army generals, except for the ban who has never spoken. Ma Yuan, the commander of the Guard Corps, went far.

Lu Wenfu didn't want to continue to entangle with the other party about this matter. If this continues, the other party may have more reasons. Of course, some of the things the other party said are indeed true, but this does not represent the overall situation.

"I don't agree with Lord Ning's opinion, but I just don't know what the other adults think?" Lu Wenfu bypassed Ning Yuanwang, hoping to gain the support of other colleagues.

The Foreign Minister Saridan, who originally supported the immediate selection of the new emperor, was a little unsure after hearing Ning Yuanwang's words. The expression showed something, but the calm-faced Chancellor of the Exchequer didn't seem to be very interested in this matter. Instead, he was more interested in the wooden floor underground, staring down intently.

"Lord Tian, ​​Lord Ning and Lord Lu have expressed their opinions just now, what do you think?" Saridan had no choice but to ask the other party directly.

Originally wanting to pretend to be fooled, Tian Yi secretly scolded this troublesome old thing in his heart. This kind of thing is clearly a thorny matter that both sides don't like. Supporting either side may bring unpredictable troubles. Let yourself be clear. Didn’t he say that he put himself on the fire, but seeing that Ning Yuanwang and Lu Wenfu’s eyes were on him, it was obvious that they both attached great importance to his opinion as the Minister of Finance, and he also knew that he couldn’t avoid it all the time. At this level, he pretended to ponder for a while before saying: "Just now, the opinions of the two adults are reasonable, and the thing to do now is to take care of your majesty's funeral affairs first while ensuring the stability of the empire, but To ensure the stability of the empire, I think that the situation in the imperial capital needs to be stabilized first. Ma Yuan can be asked to take charge of this. Your highnesses are not allowed to leave the capital for the time being, at least not until the new emperor ascends the throne. In addition, people from all over the empire The war situation is temporarily maintained as it is by the order of the military department. It is not allowed to provoke at will, but it is also not allowed to show weakness. Sure, it's really a bit hasty to make sure today."

Although Tian Yi's words were impartial, they rejected Lu Wenfu's proposal in essence, and only made a few trivial requests on the surface. He couldn't be sure which side Ning Yuanwang supported, but he knew that Lu Wenfu was a gentleman, even if he didn't support his opinion, he wouldn't do anything, but it was very difficult for Ning Yuanwang, who was so pious on the surface.

The discussions in Jixian Hall ended without any results, and this was also the beginning of chaos for the empire. In this debate, the attitude of Ma Yuanxiang, the head of the Imperial Guard Corps, played a pivotal role. It was his silence that gave Ning Yuanwang the capital to play, and finally rejected Lu Wenfu and Sari Deng immediately. To determine the opinion of the new emperor, in the words of historians of later generations, if he sided with Lu Wenfu in this debate, he could easily support anyone with the internal affairs forces controlled by Lu Wenfu and the imperial guards under his own control. A prince ascending the throne, even if it is not the original nine princes Situ Lang, but any one of the other princes, can still firmly control the political situation in the imperial capital, and can also avoid the de facto split and chaotic situation of the empire later. Although it may not be able to change the fate of the rise of the glorious empire, at least it can avoid the huge war trauma suffered by the Tanghe Empire at that time~IndoMTL.com~ But it was his strange silence that made Ning Yuanwang see hope, and because of Ning Yuanwang The excellent performance of eloquence prevented Tian Yi, the Minister of Finance, Saridan, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ji Lin, the Minister of Military Affairs, Sun Chengxiu, the Commander of the Imperial Gendarmerie, and several other officials present. The deliberations in Jixian Hall of fate came to an unclear end, and in the end they only came up with a worthless opinion that the imperial guards would temporarily control the four gates of the imperial capital, that no prince should leave the capital without permission, and deal with His Majesty's funeral first.

Less than an hour after everyone left Anfu Palace, almost all the well-informed people had already learned the shocking news that His Majesty the Emperor had passed away, and the candidate for the new Emperor was still in the pipeline! A temporary military and political decision-making committee appeared in the empire, composed of Vice Minister Ning Yuanwang, who presided over the work of the General Administration, Lu Wenfu, Minister of the Interior, Ji Lin, Minister of Military Affairs, Tian Yi, Minister of Finance, and Saridan, Minister of Foreign Affairs, responsible for temporarily handling emergency public affairs.

After Situ Lang learned of the news at the first time, he concluded that there was something wrong with Ma Yuanxiang, the head of the Imperial Guard Corps. He has already conveyed his father's opinion clearly to himself, and he is going to take over the position of Dabao by himself. As long as Ma Yuanxiang expresses his support, the General Administration of Internal Affairs and its subordinate forces controlled by Lu Wenfu can easily control the entire imperial capital. , everything will come to fruition, but without the support of the imperial guards, Lu Wenfu's internal affairs will be useless.

Situ Lang immediately sent someone to the outside of the city to convey his order, ordering the third and fourth armies to enter the city immediately, but unfortunately it was half a step too late. The movements of the Guards Corps.
