Chapter 923: Hidden Worries (2)
Fu Zhuo finally said all the hidden worries in his heart.
“…… Tonight's events are just an introduction. The real root cause is still in the dispute between the new emperor and the old ministers. ”
"I have been the emperor's companion since I was a child, and I know his temperament very well every day. If everyone thinks that the emperor has a gentle temperament and soft means, it is very wrong. ”
"Now the important official positions in the court are all held by the old ministers of the former emperor. The emperor's ascension to the throne was still short, and a group of young officials who were promoted and appointed were not able to hold high positions for the time being. The old ministers, led by their grandfather, did not deliberately form a party, but also united intentionally or unintentionally. The Emperor's decrees need to be implemented through them. I can't help but feel a little involved. ”
"The emperor is still patient. Because although the old ministers are selfish, they are quite loyal to Daqin, and they do not have any out-of-the-ordinary actions. Second, the emperor is also a kind-hearted person and is not mean. ”
Therefore, the waves between the emperor and the old ministers did not appear on the water. ”
My grandfather also knew this. But they let it go, and even secretly contributed to it......"
Speaking of this, Fu Zhuo let out another long sigh, his expression was full of astringency: "I have vaguely reminded my grandfather a few times. My grandfather didn't take my words to heart, and I was helpless. ”
He is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he cannot live up to the divine grace and reveal the holy will at will.
But he is also the grandson of the Fu family. Seeing that Fu Ge Lao acted contrary to the Son of Heaven's intentions, how could he not be in a hurry?
Luo Zhixuan saw that Fu Zhuo's face was full of worry, and opened her mouth to say with relief: "Don't worry too much. My grandfather, as the first assistant, acted heavily and heavily. You won't put yourself in danger easily. ”
I hope so!
I hope he is unfounded!
Fu Zhuo sighed secretly, his mood still heavy.
Luo Zhixuan saw that Fu Zhuo's brows were furrowed and he didn't show his face, she was quite distressed, and deliberately coaxed him to laugh: "You come back late every day, and it's rare to come back early today, and you were called by your grandfather to talk." The two of us hadn't spoken well in days. You are still frowning at me, and if you snub me like this, I will ignore you in the future. ”
After speaking, he deliberately turned sideways and made an angry and coquettish appearance.
Fu Zhuo smiled, like when he was newly married, deliberately turned around, still standing in front of her, bowing and apologizing: "Yes, yes, it's all mine." There are a lot of young grandmothers, so don't worry about me. ”
Luo Zhixuan burst out laughing, and her slender fingers tapped Fu Zhuo's chin: "That's it, for your sake, I'll forgive you this time." ”
The husband and wife laughed and quickly put their heavy thoughts aside.
……
Cui Mansion.
Cui Shangshu's face was solemn, frowning and silent.
Standing in front of Cui Shangshu were the three brothers of the Cui family.
Cui Sanlang, who was admitted to Tanhua last year, now has a serious official body and has made a compilation in the Hanlin Academy. He was brilliant, brilliant, and had a Sacred Heart. It is also the most outstanding and promising one of the three brothers of the Cui family.
At this time, Cui Saburo opened his mouth and said, "Father's actions tonight are really a bit reckless. King Anping and Shen Gongzi had a quarrel, and it had nothing to do with our Cui family. Father's opening of his mouth inevitably made the emperor suspicious. In case the emperor thought that his father was secretly making trouble and instigating King Anping to enter the palace to make trouble, it would not be good. ”
Before Cui Shangshu could say anything, Cui Dalang glared at him: "Third brother, how can you talk to your father like this?"
Cui Saburo raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyebrows revealed the unique vigor and sharpness of young people: "It is precisely because I am my father's son that I will be outspoken." ”
"The emperor's edict last year made it clear that it was to give a lot of old ministers. Let the old ministers not rely on the old and sell the old. It's only been a year, and one by one they have begun to relapse into their old ways. Relying on the emperor's young and good temper, he wants to suppress the emperor everywhere. The emperor was not happy in his heart. Father and Fu Ge Lao joined forces to test it, how could the emperor not beat it. If my father doesn't wake up again, I don't know how the emperor will deal with my father......"
"Shut up!" Cui Dalang and Cui Erlang changed color together: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Cui Shangshu, who had been silent, also showed a fierce look in his eyes: "Bastard! How can such words be freely spoken! Don't you understand the truth that comes out of your mouth?"
Cui Saburo reluctantly stopped his mouth.
Cui Shangshu's brows were almost twisted into Sichuan characters, and he sighed for a long time: "San Lang's words are not unreasonable. Tonight's incident is indeed my recklessness. ”
Cui Dalang and Cui Erlang glanced at each other, and Cui Dalang opened his mouth and said with relief: "My father is a secretary of the ministry, and he has a high position. The emperor relies on his father everywhere, and he will never be jealous of this little thing. ”
Cui Shangshu sighed: "The power of the Son of Heaven cannot be provoked. I was just a little tempted by Fu Ge Lao today, and the emperor showed no mercy, and he had a seizure on the spot, embarrassing me and Fu Ge Lao. Isn't this a warning to us to rein in one or two. ”
Cui Shangshu said it so clearly, Cui Dalang was inconvenient to say no more.
Cui Erlang said in a low voice: "Now that I have come to this, I don't know what my father's plans are?"
Cui Shangshu was silent.
Cui Sanlang couldn't help it: "Father, isn't he still planning to follow in the footsteps of Fu Ge Lao? This world is the emperor, and if my father wants to sit in this high position for a long time, he should know how to make trade-offs." ”
Cui Dalang and Cui Erlang glanced at each other and remained silent in unison.
"Our Cui family has always been loyal to Daqin, and whoever sits on the dragon chair will be loyal to whomever we are. Cui Saburo talked eloquently: "Although the emperor is young, he is wise and calm, diligent in government, and is the face of a wise monarch." Having such a wise man is also a blessing for all officials. ”
"My father is in his prime, and he has become a secretary. There will be a day when he will enter the cabinet. Why bother to twist with the emperor and make the emperor unhappy?"
Seeing that Cui Shangshu was silent, Cui Sanlang said more and more bluntly and directly: "I don't like to hear what I say." Fu Ge Lao is already in his fifties, and he has also become a minister. He wants to suppress the emperor as the first assistant, but unfortunately the emperor is by no means a person to be rubbed. If you want to put your hand into the harem, it is absolutely impossible. ”
"In my opinion, it's time for my father to think about it. ”
Cui Shangshu did not reprimand Cui Saburo this time, but nodded: "I should really think about it and make a decision." ”
Cui Shangshu's reaction surprised the three sons, and they asked in unison, "What decision does my father have to make?"
Cui Shangshu's eyes flashed: "If you want to show your sincerity to the emperor, you have to take action." ”
What action?
Cui Dalang Cui Erlang was a little confused, but Cui Sanlang reacted quickly: "Father is talking about the second sister?"
The second sister in Cui Sanlang's mouth is Cui Junying, who entered the palace as a concubine.
Cui Shangshu said no more: "You all go back and rest! This matter is very important, I have to think about it for a while." ”
