Chapter 1027 With Chen as the king, who can replace Chen?

The emperor planned with Mo Anjie in the palace, while the three royal lords who were hated by him on the other side also gathered together and were talking about the situation.

Chu King’s Mansion, Study Room.

This place has now replaced the emperor's imperial study and has become the core of the policy of the entire empire. The formation of countless policies and decrees is completed here.

Compared to the original situation where the ministers in the imperial study room discussed matters, the study room of the King of Chu was much simpler. Generally, there were no more than five people discussing matters. Except for the fixed three kings, the remaining two were all confidants, and the decisions related to the fate of the dynasty were generally only three.

There were only three people who made the decision.

"You have also seen the reactions of the ministers in the court today. No one except Zhang Ruo dared to disobey." King Yingchuan sat on a chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. While talking, he drank a sip, and immediately had a mouthful of fragrance and felt refreshed.

The King of Chu shook his head gently and said, "Zhang Ruo is definitely not a different party. What he said is not far-fetched, but rather makes sense. The Chen family occupied Youzhou for many years and even cultivated a branch of the Chen family in Dai County. There are still rumors about the Xuanjia Army recently, which can be said to be full of wings. Almost all the members of Youzhou are all their followers. It is not easy for us to do it."

The King of Huainan smiled and said, "King of Chu, what you said is wrong. We are not going to do it, but let Chen give up his position to give up his position to a more capable person. Otherwise, he would have occupied a Youzhou for nothing and would not kill Shi Le, and would only give him a little money and food every year. How could he convince the public?"

The King of Yingchuan nodded and agreed, saying, "Before Jizhou and Luoyang were in contact with each other, there was a horse farm on the frontier. Every year, Ma Zheng earned tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. What a fortune? Now, all the horse farms in Bingzhou were all over the hands of Huns, and Youzhou horse farms were sold in the hands of the Chen family. How rich was it? Not to mention that there was no horse, there was no cavalry. As a result, he gave a drop in the bucket every year. It was obvious that he had a disobedient heart. He did not take advantage of this person's awe of the court to let him abdicate and give way to the wise. Should he wait until his wings are hard and have a strange intention to do this? The lessons of the past are not far away, so you should not regret it!"

The King of Huainan added: "That Dynasty county Chen family looked powerful, but it was actually just a reflection. It was the result of the migration of two Chen families in Xuzhou. The King of Jiangdu acted recklessly, and Xuzhou also suffered disasters. In order to avoid disaster, the two Chen families moved to Youzhou on a large scale. It was not that Chen Zhengbei was well-managed!"

The King of Yingchuan chuckled and said, "When it comes to this, there are still some things. The reason why I suggested to attack Chen at this moment was that this person was doing a rebellious manner in Youzhou, which shook his foundation. He forced the local aristocratic families to flee. Now there are a few who are still in the palace of the Lone King, who accused the Chen family of evil deeds every day. It can be seen that Chen Zhi was already hated by people and was disgusted by ghosts in Youzhou, and he was unable to sit steadily. As long as we send people over, we can replace him immediately."

The two princes said one by one, making the King of Chu nodded as he heard it, thinking that perhaps it was a good time to move Youzhou, especially the excuse of Goguryeo, but he also had his own thinking.

Seeing that the King of Chu was really moved, the two princes looked at each other and nodded silently.

In fact, the matter of Youzhou mentioned in the court was discussed privately by the three kings, and the purpose was simple, which was to test how many people in the court still had strange intentions.

When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he took over the power and wanted to test how many people in the court were dissatisfied, so he proposed to abolish the emperor. As soon as this move was made, many things that could not be held back were jumped out. Dong Zhuo remembered them one by one, and finally followed the flow and replaced the emperor, demonstrating his authority, making it more and more difficult to compete with. He dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. If it weren't for the disagreement plan, he would not know what the result would be.

The three kings Chonggu intentionally followed the example, but were unwilling to touch the emperor. After all, they were of the same surname and still wanted to be faced. So they settled on the second best and wanted to set the emperor's backer, the foreign aid, that is, Youzhou, as the target. In this way, no one jumped out, which surprised them, but was also satisfied.

Of course, Zhang Ruo was not in the air and salt, so he would come forward. The Three Kings also expected that they did not think about this.

"There is another question," the King of Chu pondered for a while and asked a question, "Who should I find to replace Chen Zhi?" As he said, his eyes swept over the two princes, "We had just proposed a tentative idea before, and had not carefully considered who could replace him."

"No need to worry," Yingchuan King smiled slightly, looking confident. "It won't be long before someone will recommend himself. At that time, just pick one that is easy to control. After all, if Youzhou wants to control it, it can provide money and horses, but the journey is long, and there are thieves in the middle. People who are not easy to control will inevitably become bigger."

The King of Chu said, "You can't just consider people who can control them. Youzhou is located on the border and does need someone with ability and means. Otherwise, it will be really collapsed and if Shile or Xianbei people are cheap, they will make things worse. You must think more."

This statement goes beyond the scope of power struggle and involves the safety of the dynasty.

Although these royal families covet the foundation of Youzhou and believed that they should have been under the jurisdiction of the court and were not the private property of the Chen family, they did not really look down on Chen Zhi at all. They also knew that Youzhou could be stable not just because of luck.

The King of Yingchuan thought about it and proposed an idea: "In this case, you might as well let someone we trust be the governor, and then supplemented with someone who can control the situation. But in this way, things will be complicated..." As he said that, he frowned and thought.

"I have a choice," as soon as the King of Huainan spoke, he attracted the attention of the other two kings. "This man is capable, fought with the Huns in the north for a long time, and is also loyal. He always inherits the reputation of the court, and has a background. In terms of fame of famous scholars, he is no less than Chen Zhi."

The King of Yingchuan's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "I know who you are talking about. Liu Yueshi, a royal family, is indeed an ideal candidate. He has been trapped in Bingzhou for so many years and has independently supported him. It can also show his talent. Moreover, this person has been in contact with us in recent years. If he can take over Youzhou..."

It was still talking here, and suddenly someone knocked on the door and said he had a hurry to believe it.

"It must be an important matter if you still report it at this time." The King of Chu said, and then let someone come in.

The King of Huainan and the King of Yingchuan pretended to be evaded, but their feet seemed to have grown roots and had no intention of moving at all.

When the King of Chu saw it, he smiled and said, "You two don't have to leave. Listen to this news together here. If necessary, we have to make measures on the spot."

“So great!”

The two princes looked at each other and nodded in satisfaction.

However, when the King of Chu unfolded the news and saw the above book, the three kings' faces suddenly changed and their emotions were complicated.

Just saw that the letter read
