    "Look" Kang Hengming hesitated, "Will your Majesty strike first?" "Probably not," Chen Ang whispered, "As long as we act fast enough." He straightened up and sighed.  Said: "My imperial brother, to put it mildly, is a kind-hearted person. To put it poorly, he is a stickler for rules and a woman's benevolence." He looked at Kang Hengming's surprised eyes and whispered, "In short, if you don't pass the Five Houses  , he won¡¯t make any big moves. Having said that, if he has such courage, I will bear everything. For the sake of Daxia¡¯s foundation, what¡¯s the point of having a single head?¡± After saying that, Chen Ang shook his head.  Surrounded by his own soldiers, he urged his horse to leave.  Kang Hengming stood at the entrance of the palace and watched the figures of his guards disappear. Fang sighed and turned around with a solemn expression.  Although he didn't want the situation to come to this point, at this point, everyone involved in the conspiracy was trapped in the whirlpool, and he couldn't stay alone.  Although King Kang's palace served as Chen Xuan's palace, King Kang's family still lived in it, and even the bedrooms were not changed.  On the one hand, the Chen royal family was married to the Kang Dynasty, and having King Kang "accompanying" him in the palace was a sign of closeness.  On the other hand, Kang Hengming could also observe Chen Xuan's movements closely.  Although the Dragon Tooth Army has taken over the entire palace guard, they have eyes and ears everywhere among the palace officials, maids, and slaves.  In the dark night sky, pigeons soared into the sky, and black shadows flew in all directions.  A few days later, in Chang'an City, Director Li, the prince of South Korea, hurriedly entered his father's study, and Li Chan showed him a translated copy of the Pigeon Book.  "This," Director Li browsed through it carefully and said nervously, "Father, are you really going to do something big?" "Yes," Director Li looked calm and nodded, "In the current situation, Dunhuang is empty, and it depends on Hezhong to achieve a big thing.  With Kang State, Chang'an is close to Luoyang where the prince is based. Let's not move for now. If Kang State takes action, we will prevent the prince from mobilizing group training to enter Chang'an, and then invite the rich families to join the list. Although the prince controls tens of thousands.  The regiment is training troops, but Luoyang is isolated in Guandong. As long as major domestic affairs are settled, sending an eloquent person may not be able to convince him to put the country first and eliminate the turmoil invisibly. " "Is this possible?  "?" Director Li said worriedly.  Guanzhong has not experienced a major war for decades. If Chen Chong forcibly raises troops to attack Guanzhong, or recruits the soldiers and civilians of Guanzhong to regain the throne for him, it will inevitably set off a bloody storm. This result will not only run counter to "their" original intention, but will also greatly  Most of the Guanzhong aristocratic families were severely damaged, and the Li family was the first to bear the brunt.  "Probably not. Decades ago, the Protectorate impeached His Majesty, and he sadly abdicated the throne?" Li Chan said with some regret.  Director Li nodded and did not answer.  He also heard Li Chan talk about the impeachment crisis decades ago.  The study became quiet for a moment.  Decades ago, Emperor Chen Jian of the Xia Dynasty was impeached by the Huguo Mansion and abdicated because of his arbitrariness and respect for family honors. At that time, some people also came to admonish His Majesty. Instead of surrendering without mercy, it would be better to summon the founding princes from all over the country, King Qin, to fight with the Huguo Mansion to the death.  .  However, after weighing the pros and cons, Chen Jian accepted the result of impeachment and sadly abdicated.  Chen Jian and his descendants were deprived of their titles and sent to live in Ganzhou. It was not until two generations later that they got the opportunity to become officials.  This incident also dealt a huge blow to the nobles of the family. Since then, the Protectorate has become increasingly wary of the founding prince.  The founding princes such as Chu Guogong, Han Guogong, and Qin Guogong also gradually faded out of the imperial court. It was not until Chen Xuan succeeded to the throne that a descendant of the founding princes, Zhang Shanfu, entered the general's mansion.  Zhang Shanfu joined the army at the age of fourteen and made many military exploits in the northern part of Hezhong. It was not until he was promoted to general that people learned that he was the second son of the Duke of Chu.  There were bursts of light smoke from the copper incense burner, and the room was filled with the calming agarwood. However, Director Li couldn't calm down.  "Now that things have happened, do you still have any concerns?" Li Chan asked, frowning slightly when he saw Director Li was silent.  "It's nothing," Director Li was stunned and sighed, "I have a close relationship with Chen Zhong. If he ascends the throne, he will be a good emperor." "You have tested him many times, haven't you?" Li Chan shook his head.  .  "You and I can clearly see the great boom in firearms in Guandong. Even ordinary workers, apprentices and farmers can become an army with a little training as long as they have the ability to carry out troops. There are also thousands of elite officers and dozens of  A mature general can bring hundreds of thousands or millions of them to the battlefield. Behind the boom in firearms is the workshop and the baggage, which is the ability to select and train hundreds of thousands or millions of these workers.  Rather than riding and archery, the era of martial arts deciding who belongs to the world has passed. This is the general trend. Like his father, he can take back the power from the Five Palaces with just a nod, but he not only refuses to nod, but also  Determined to maintain the authority of the Five Prefectures I can only say that this is his own choice. The reason why I agree to change my ways is not to betray the country or to be disloyal to the Chen family, but quite the opposite!" Li Chan said unconsciously!  He spoke louder and louder.The volume of his voice was as if he was convincing himself.  "If His Majesty dies, the Crown Prince will definitely refuse to rest. When the time comes to send his army westward, Guanzhong may be devastated. No matter which side wins, it will be in ruins. However, since His Majesty has been on the throne for many years, he has never made any serious mistakes. He is considerate of the military's morale and the people's strength, and has gained prestige.  If His Majesty is still alive, even if he is imprisoned, if King Yong replaces him, he will abolish the eldest son and establish a younger one. Our dynasty is based on the law of eldest son inheritance, and King Yong may not be able to convince the public. " Director Li frowned, he hesitated.  After a moment, he said again: "Furthermore, a person who can commit fratricide is ruthless and ruthless. Father must guard against him, and must not let him monopolize power." The court said "  "The Oath to Protect the Country" is the most important, and among the people, the "Law of Primogeniture" is even more important.  The most important family property of the people, land, can only be inherited by the eldest son and cannot be divided. The second son must either do business, work as an apprentice, or go far away to receive a new piece of land.  Since the promulgation of the "Primogeniture Law", people have been questioning it among the people. Many people are eager to fight to abolish it, but more people are fighting to maintain it.  Abolition of elders and establishment of younger ones is no longer an insurmountable principle in Kanto. However, in Kansai, after hundreds of years of debate, even the lowest-level households are instinctively opposed to this matter from the bottom of their hearts.  As the eldest son of a Korean father-in-law, Director Li naturally didn¡¯t like the idea of ??abolishing the eldest son and establishing a young one.  King Yong can seek to seize the throne from his elder brother, and follow the example of others. Could it be that the second sons of other founding nobles can also seek to seize the title? The second sons of ordinary people can inherit the family business, or after King Yong monopolizes the power, will it be because of his own misconduct?  , deliberately generalizing the concept of "abolish the elders and establish the young".  Li Chan, who had also come up with his worries about his eldest son step by step, knew it very well. In the past, rumors leaked out and Li Chan only told Director Li a rough outline of many plots.  A big event is coming, and there is no need to hide it anymore.  "Even if the major events are finalized, King Yong's status in the court is probably similar to that of Liu Yi and Zhang Shanfu today. After the reorganization of Zhuguofu and Huguofu, although the princes are not as busy as the captains, they can check and balance the monarch's power and guard against the two powerful ministers.  No one can be vague." Li Chan looked at his eldest son with a sad look in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "His Majesty and I, King Yong, are friends in the name of monarch and minister, but we are friends.  I will definitely not do anything that harms Your Majesty. Everything we do now is for the sake of the country. Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s public rather than private. When I first got involved, I made it clear to King Yong and King Kang that Chang¡¯an could change its course, but it couldn¡¯t.  It cost your Majesty's life." Li Chan's eyes and words were very determined, but Director Li's expression became more and more doubtful.  "If King Yong doesn't replace him, who will? Could it be Chen Kang?" Director Li and the Chen brothers are old acquaintances.  Thinking of the old story of Chen Kang secretly escaping from Dunhuang for Han Ningshuang, rushing all the way to Guandong, and being escorted back by the Military Intelligence Department, he couldn't help but frown, how could such an absurd and confused person be a king?  Moreover, when Chen Kang replaced Chen Chong, he still abolished the elder and established the younger.  Li Chan smiled and said: "King Kang himself prefers Chen Kang, but King Yong and I have other candidates in our minds, and the title can convince everyone."  Luoyang, another year  During the Yuan Dynasty, the wars in Henan and Hebei did not affect Luoyang at all.  This is a pure land in troubled times. This year, Luoyang Lantern Market is not only not depressed, but also more lively and noisy than in previous years.  Inside and outside the city wall of Luoyang, there are 120 rows and more than 300 squares. There are more than 10,000 shops in the four major cities of southeast and northwest, and lanterns are displayed everywhere.  Especially Liufang on the Luoshui River is the most lively. Everywhere in the streets and alleys is crowded with people. Lanterns are everywhere, including car lanterns, ball lanterns, sun and moon lanterns, poetry silk lanterns, mirror lanterns, character lanterns, and horse riding lanterns.  , phoenix lanterns, water lanterns, glass lanterns, shadow lanterns, all kinds of ingenious lanterns, Pingjiang Yushan lanterns, silk lanterns, sand opera lanterns, fire iron lanterns, fish lanterns, seafood lanterns, red lanterns filled with people  Under the bright lanterns, Luoyang City is magnificent, as if it is a fairyland that is different from the human world. Tourists are weaving under the lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, or buying and selling various things. Among the crowds of people, there are many who suddenly look around.  , a tourist lady who suddenly blushes and her heart beats.  Every New Year's Eve, guessing lantern riddles, picking up sachets, and listening to music and pairings are all opportunities for men and women to spend time together, and even make a lifelong commitment.  In the bustling sea of ??people, Chen Xian, the clerk of Luoyang Prefecture, was holding a brocade bag tightly in his hand. His face was bright and dark, and his mood was up and down. His feet seemed to be stepping on cotton. He didn't look at the lanterns on both sides at all, and the woman's blue eyes were completely gone.  Ignoring it, I just walked forward with the flow of people, even forgetting to look at the road.  Others were not surprised by his expression, and even in order to make way for him, the crowds of people split to both sides, leaving a vague path for him.  Every year on Yuan Ye, there are countless young men and women in Luoyang who look like this in a trance. Whether it's the moon on the willow branches, people meeting after dusk, or people who don't know where to go, the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze.  This is how everyone comes here.
