Chapter 645: The Doctor is also afraid of guilt
The Shuowang Dynasty ended after noon, and Li Heng, the son of the Tang Dynasty, dragged his tired body back to the harem. The weather was very hot www.biquge.info very suddenly, as if a few days ago it was expected to be cold in spring, and now he was sweating all over his body when he moved, and he pulled his neckline a little angrily, and the clothes on his body were worn too much after all.
"Prepare summer clothes tomorrow, these winter clothes on my body are about to cover lice!"
A eunuch cautiously replied:
"Your Majesty, the customization in the palace has not yet reached the day to change the summer clothes......"
Li Heng was a little annoyed, as an emperor, he was bound by the rules even to change his clothes, and when he was the crown prince, he was shackled by the emperor with layers of invisible shackles, and now he is not free. However, Li Heng also had no intention of breaking these rules that had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, but he said angrily:
"Rules are dead, people are alive, can't you wear a hot prickly heat covered with a body?"
Seeing the emperor speak like this, the eunuch did not know how to answer. In their eyes, it is a little strange that today, who is not good at expressing personal feelings, has a temper tantrum because of the hot weather like today.
"Your Majesty is angry, they all say that spring covers autumn frost, and it is not a bad thing to wear more in this spring, in case the dragon body is soaked in cold because of the alternation of cold and heat, but the gain outweighs the loss!"
Among the eunuchs in this palace, there is no second one who dares to talk to Li Heng, the Son of Heaven, like this, except for Li Fuguo.
Moreover, Li Heng could listen to Li Fuguo's words very well, and after seeing him, he actually showed some smiles, but the smile was a little far-fetched.
"I'm hot and boring, but it's not as boring as here......"
Li Heng said, raised his hand again, and pointed to his chest.
Li Fuguo seemed to know what Li Heng was bored about, so he persuaded without thinking:
Since the Emperor Taishang has already made a decision from this, knowing that he cannot change it, why should His Majesty bother with this matter? Besides, as long as the Prime Minister of the Fang Dynasty wins the Eastern Expedition and overcomes Tokyo, all troubles will be solved. ’
Of course, Li Heng's tantrum today is not only because the weather is hot and humid and he can't change his clothes freely, if an emperor loses his temper because of these trivial matters, it is too contemptible. In his heart, he actually has the bitterness of not being able to say it to his subordinates. Only Li Fuguo, a eunuch, has become the object of his most unscrupulous consultation.
Just last night, he learned the contents of the edict issued by the Emperor Taishang when he was in Chengdu. Yongwang Li Luan, who sat in Jiangling, was originally the governor of Jiangling, and now he was named the envoy of Shannan East Road, Lingnan, Qianzhong, and Jiangnan West Road. That is, the vast and rich land south of the Yangtze River has been under its control.
In terms of feelings, Li Lan is the little brother raised by Li Heng, and the relationship between the two is not father and son, but better than father and son, but even if they are close, they can't bypass the threshold of power. The emperor's words can make more than 20 years of family affection disintegrate in an instant.
Of course, Li Heng understands that this is the emperor's means, and after he got rid of the crisis of becoming the king of the fallen country, he is still unwilling to lose his position for more than 40 years.
Li Yan can nominally control the soldiers and horses of the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and with strong financial support, he may not be able to raise troops from the south of the Yangtze River and go north to quell the rebellion. As long as Li Xuan is not a fool, he will inevitably seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once he overcomes Tokyo before Li Heng or directly smashes Fan Yang, the old nest of An Lushan, he will gain enough prestige and strength to fight against the Son of Heaven in the court, even if he seizes the throne, he may not be impossible.
In fact, Li Longji has achieved his goal by doing this, which is also his consistent means of two-by-two, and now this trick has been thrown, and he has immediately brought himself from a marginal position to the center of power.
If Li Heng can seize the opportunity to achieve military exploits, so that he has succeeded in the first step, if Li Heng wants to gain an advantage in the battle with Li Ling, he will have to consider the emperor's ideas and get his support. Otherwise, once Li Longji falls to Li Lan's side, Li Heng will face an unprecedented crisis.
This has to mention the hidden pain that Li Heng is most worried about in his heart, that is, he is not in the right position. After all, Li Heng's throne was not handed down by Li Longji, but was taken from him without authorization.
If this hat is not suppressed with enough merit, the legitimacy of Li Heng's ascension to the throne will soon become the biggest threat, and Li Ling can use it to call on the world to crusade against the rebellious ministers and thieves. If he comes to this point, his passive situation will be difficult to recover. Thus, Li Longji's recognition of the legitimacy of either party is a chain that can manipulate the balance of power between the two sons.
For all the above reasons, it is not surprising that Li Heng vented his frustration by taking advantage of the hot weather and the fact that he couldn't change his clothes casually.
Li Fuguo is right, as long as Fang Xuan's Eastern Crusade succeeds and takes the lead in overcoming Tokyo, then Li Xuan's potential threat will be further downplayed. After all, the matter was in a hurry, and it would take a certain amount of time for Li Lan to levy the soldiers and horses of the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. Li Heng has an advantage in time, and there are soldiers who have just experienced a great victory in Guanzhong, so it can be said that the chances of victory are still very good.
Li Heng has long thought about these truths clearly, but because he cares, he is chaotic, and irritability in his heart is unavoidable for ordinary people, even if he is the son of heaven.
Li Fuguo was so relieved that Li Heng's mind calmed down a lot, and he felt that he was a little too worried, so he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked towards the hall.
"Your Majesty, it's not enough for Fang Xianggong to lead the army to the east, you have to do it both ways!"
Li Heng immediately became interested and asked:
"How do you do both?"
"Be elected and send the right person to Jianghuai to block King Yong in Jiangnan, and ...... when necessary."
Li Fuguo's voice turned a little cold, and when he said the key point, he stopped his voice, and only made a slashing motion with his right hand as a palm.
Seeing this, Li Heng's brows furrowed, although he had a headache for Li Lan, after all, the relationship between brothers is not something that can be easily parted, and it is unbearable to get rid of this most beloved brother.
"Li Lan may not have delusions, how can he have no respect for my brother? If this is the case for him, what if ...... How can I bear it?"
Li Heng's words are obviously not true, it is true that he can't let go of the brotherly relationship with Li Lan, but if he doesn't believe that Li Lan will have delusions, it will be a bit of a desire to cover up.
In any case, the reputation of killing a brother is not much better in history than forcing his father to usurp the throne.
Li Heng is a person who cares a lot about the evaluation behind him, if these stains are left to future generations to criticize him after a hundred years, it will be creepy just to think about it.
"Your Majesty, as a monarch, you should care about the world, how can you only care about small benevolence and small righteousness?"
Li Heng was silent for a while, then nodded again.
"This matter is not in a hurry, the top priority is to put all your thoughts on Fang Xuan's Eastern Crusade. ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Li Fuguo praised it, and didn't say more, after all, it is not a good thing to kill his brother with the Son of Heaven, and if he complains in the future, it will really outweigh the losses. With this kind of thought, he naturally would not actively promote this matter in front of the Son of Heaven, and many words stopped at the end.
The two walked to the entrance of the hall and suddenly heard the whispering of eunuchs inside. Normally, eunuchs will also have a situation of fighting each other when cleaning and tidying up the palace, although this is absolutely not allowed in the palace system, but as long as it is not too excessive, even if the Son of Heaven personally bumps into it, it will not be too punished.
Li Fuguo was about to go in and reprimand the bastards who didn't know how to advance or retreat, but Li Heng stopped him. Because Li Heng suddenly heard two words from the whispers inside, and these two words were extremely concerned and sensitive to him.
That is "Qin Jin"! Li Heng wanted to hear what these eunuchs were talking about Qin Jin.
Hiding outside and eavesdropping is a novel behavior for Li Heng, who has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and his strong curiosity actually overshadows the anger in his heart.
Then, the rumor of Qin Jin's "fear of guilt" reached Li Heng's ears so coincidentally. Originally, as the Son of Heaven, it was difficult for this kind of rumor to be known to him, but perhaps it was the will of heaven that it was accidentally passed over by a few eunuchs.
After hearing and understanding the specific content clearly, Li Heng was even more unhappy in his heart, and his anger surged again, Worm Niang was his most beloved sister, Qin Jin, as the minister of the pillars and the future brother-in-law, how could he allow these minions to be arbitrarily degraded?
The door of the palace was pushed open with a creak, and several eunuchs were talking about it, and half of the three souls and seven spirits who were frightened by the sudden sound of opening the door were lost, and after seeing the pale-faced Son of Heaven clearly, they were even more frightened and thrown the other half out of the sky, and they knelt on the ground one by one and didn't even dare to say a word to beg for mercy.
These people were originally Li Fuguo's henchmen, otherwise they would not have been arranged by the Son of Heaven, but they were too uncompetitive and hit the Son of Heaven's anger, so they no longer had the idea of protecting them.
"Drag it out, cane it!"
said one sentence neatly, and several eunuchs were suddenly frightened and begged for mercy:
"Your Majesty is gracious, Your Majesty spares your life, and the slave will never dare to ...... in the future"
Li Fuguo sneered and reprimanded:
"The Son of Heaven is not careful in his words and deeds, in case something goes wrong...... It's not an exaggeration to exterminate the race!"
When even a eunuch pounced on them and dragged them out of the palace.
Li Heng still couldn't bear it, so he said to Li Fuguo:
"These people don't do things secretly, and they don't sin to death!"
This sentence finally left the lives of several eunuchs, and Li Fuguo was no longer ruthless, and only let his cronies scold them before sending them to the court.
Whenever the eunuch enters the palace, he never has a day to come out, and the errand he does is the hardest and most tiring, and he has to face the concubines who have been relegated to it every day because of their mistakes, just thinking about it is extremely desperate.
After Li Heng sat down, he remembered the rumor that Qin Jin was "afraid of the inside".
"Li Fuguo, tell me, what is the specific situation in Qin Jin's fear?"
