Chapter Ninety-Four: Emperor Qinglong
Emperor Qinglong picked up the recital of Shadow Rain, read it carefully, and opened the letter again as a proof. The responsibilities of the www.biquge.info rain group and the wind group are the same, and they are both responsible for spying on news. The difference is that Ying Yu's subordinates are all female spies, scattered in Gaomang's major green buildings, officials' back houses, and border towns. There are oirans, inconspicuous sprinklers in the Qinglou, good concubines, maids, innkeepers, rough mothers-in-law with bun shops, and so on. As long as Emperor Qinglong wants to know where the information is, the secret spies of the rain group will infiltrate where. This list of secret spies, except for Shadow Rain, is only available to Emperor Qinglong.
Men are the most honest when they are in the belly of women, and information can often be gathered through the wind and grass in the market. The rain group provided Emperor Qinglong with the preferences, character, and lawlessness of his powerful ministers and generals, and the wind and grass at the border pass could not hide from her.
The letter presented by Ying Yu is a letter of state written by the second prince of Khitan to ask for help. A few years ago, the Khitan court changed, and the second prince wanted to usurp the throne and stand on his own. On the grassland, force is the last word, and the second prince stole the Great Seal and poisoned the Khan, and was exposed by the eldest prince. The second prince and his henchmen tossed and turned on the grassland, and now they are at the end of their ropes and are gradually declining.
Shadow Rain personally went out and approached the second prince who was running in the upper echelons of the grassland with his beauty, and expressed his interests and harms. made the second prince feel that there was no other way out except to ask the Gao Mang Dynasty for help, but if he formed an alliance with Gao Mang, it would be tantamount to betraying the clan, which made the second prince hesitate.
"Second prince, if you get the support of Emperor Gaomang, you will be able to get it at your fingertips except for the Khitan Khan. If not, your brother will ascend to the throne and enjoy the glory of Khan. And you, silently disappeared on this grassland. Even if the clansmen occasionally mention you, they are still the ones who are charged with poisoning the Khan. You have given so much, and if this is the case, are you willing? It is just a temporary concession of peace with Emperor Gaomang, tribute of horses, and opening up of mutual markets, which is more important than the position of Khan?"
Shadow Rain's words lingered in his heart like poison. Finally, after another fiasco, looking at the few people around him, the second prince made up his mind. He wrote this letter of state with his own hands, stamped the seal of the Khitan Khan that he had stolen, and brought it back by Shadow Rain. He lurked and waited for help from the Gaumans.
In this letter of state, there are favorable conditions for the Gaomang Dynasty. The second prince was already in a desperate situation, and he was afraid that he would not be able to impress Emperor Qinglong, and the conditions listed were extremely generous. In the recital presented by Shadow Rain, it is explained how all this happened. Seeing that Emperor Qinglong took the case, he said: "Okay! With this national letter, I Gao Mang should have a hundred years of national glory!"
Shadow Thunder listened, and his heart was shocked. What has this woman done? Can be so highly praised by Emperor Qinglong?
The last thing to pick up is the chapter and the account book and list presented by the shadow wind.
Emperor Qinglong's extremely happy expression, when he watched the movie wind music, his brows became more and more wrinkled. After reading all the content, his face sank like water, he rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, sighed, and said, "Shadow Wind, come and take it to circulate to everyone." ”
After the other three watched it, their hearts were cold. Such a big thing, fortunately, it was discovered by Shadowwind. Otherwise, there will be a big mess! If one is not handled well, Gao Mang will be destroyed, maybe in a few years.
"Shadowwind, you found out about this matter, and you are still responsible for the follow-up. Maintain close observation, and the Prince's Mansion also monitors together. Shadow Rain, you mobilize manpower to cooperate with Shadow Wind's actions. Shadow Thunder, you wait for my orders. The power group can maintain normal operation and support the wind and rain groups. ”
Emperor Qinglong sat up straight and gave orders in an orderly manner. It makes people think that the exhaustion of that moment just now is just an illusion. In the blink of an eye, he was still the emperor who stood tall.
Today was supposed to be a good day to elect the commander of the shadow guard, but after this incident, Emperor Qinglong's heart was in turmoil. But the four people in front of him were weapons that he relied on a lot, and it was just the promotion of a commander that forced out their potential. The four tasks that have been completed are all major events that can affect the fortunes of the country.
Emperor Qinglong needs their loyalty, this is the day when they risk their lives to complete the task and look forward to it, and they can't cool their hearts at this moment. He immediately spoke: "You guys, the tasks you have completed are very satisfying to me. Yingdian has completed the development of the pocket watch, and I can feel that this small object may have a huge impact on the Gao Mang Dynasty. Shadow Thunder, running thousands of miles, killed the shameful scum of the Han people. Shadow Rain, a weak female streamer, can accomplish what many ministers can't accomplish. And the shadow wind pulled out the pests in the court to avoid the next war. ”
Emperor Qinglong paused, his gaze swept over the four of them one by one, and said, "In my opinion, the completion of these tasks has a far-reaching impact on the Gaomang Dynasty. It is difficult to assess which is better or worse. Ten days later, you will come here again and wait for the results. ”
Several people should have retired. In a short time, the figure disappeared into the night.
After they left, Emperor Qinglong sat for a long time. For an emperor, whether it is against important ministers in the court or concubines in the harem, joy, anger, sorrow, and all kinds of emotions have become a tool to control people's hearts. Sometimes you have to praise a person for your actions, and sometimes you have to beat someone you admire.
He has been the crown prince for thirty-five years, and he has always been cautious in his words and deeds, learning the art of the emperor from his father's side, for fear of disappointing his father. I also longed for the day when I could ascend the throne and be the master. But when you really become an emperor, you can understand the pain in your father's heart, the loneliness and widow in the heights.
Emperor Qinglong habitually kept his distance from everyone, even Empress Cao, who had been with her for decades, could not find out his thoughts. He hides his true self deeply, that if he is not understood, he will not have weaknesses, if he is not loved, he will not be hurt, and if he has no expectations, he will not be disappointed. The rest is just the body of an emperor, reflexively handling various affairs, accustomed to different people, at different times, with different emotional reactions. But as long as you are a human being, how can you be free of bias in your heart?
Therefore, he prefers to be alone. Only when he is alone will he not hide his emotions, which becomes his best way to relax. In the eyes of the ministers, Emperor Qinglong did not have close love ministers, and he was ruthless and rewarded and punished fairly; in the eyes of the concubines, no one could really be favored, only the credit of birth and raising.
Wu Guangqi knew his habits, and quietly bowed down in front of the temple gate. If he dared to look up at the emperor at this moment, he would find that the expression on his face was lonely and lonely, and the figure sitting in the position looked a little weak for some reason.
Emperor Qinglong whispered softly: "Wei Wei, is this your will?Ming Ze, you have finally embarked on this road, cannibalism, is it the curse of the emperor's family." The murmur of pain dissipated into the cold air, and no one could hear him but himself. (To be continued.) )
