Chapter 68: The Death of Fufa

"That man's blessings are not exhausted, and he is still alive in the world."

This sentence is like a drum beating a heavy hammer, deafening, and the sound does not stop.

Just thinking about it, suddenly a eunuch walked into the house and said to Fu Jian: "Your Majesty, King Qinghe is dead." ”

"Dead? How could it be ......" Fu Jian asked Monk Dao'an to be sent out of the palace, and he hurried out of the palace. How could a good person suddenly disappear?

"Tell me what's going on?"

The eunuch followed Fu Jian and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, the slave heard that the king of Qinghe was harmed by the poisonous wine sent. ”

"Poisoned wine, who sent it? He had such the audacity to murder the king's powerful ministers. Fu Jian was a little angry.

"Back to Your Majesty, is it too ...... Dowager. The eunuch replied timidly.

Fu Jian stopped, a little puzzled, and asked, "Why did she do this?" ”

The eunuch replied, "The minister doesn't know. ”

"Let's go, go to Changle Palace." After Fu Jian finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out.

When she arrived, the palace maid of Changle Palace told Fu Jian that the Queen Mother had rested. Fu Jian didn't leave, he stood outside the door, and he didn't speak, until dawn, until his mother got up.

The palace maids were grooming the Empress Dowager Gou, and one of them said: "The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty came to find the Empress Dowager last night, but the Empress Dowager has rested." ”

Empress Dowager Gou asked, "And then?" ”

The palace maid continued: "Your Majesty has stood outside the house all night, and is still waiting. ”

When Empress Dowager Gou heard this, she was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Fu Jian to come in.

Empress Dowager Gou looked at Fu Jian's tired appearance, and asked with some distress: "The emperor came to find the mourning family early in the morning, what happened?" ”

Fu Jian said: "The son has something unclear, so he came to ask the queen mother for advice. ”

Empress Dowager Gou looked at him and asked, "The emperor doesn't know what's going on, but it's okay to say it." ”

Fu Jian glared at the Empress Dowager Gou and said, "Why do you want to kill Fu Fa?" ”

Empress Dowager Gou was angry and asked, "Did you come here early in the morning to question me?" ”

Fu Jian knew that he was rude, so he bowed his head and said nothing. Empress Dowager Gou retreated left and right, leaving only her mother and son, Empress Dowager Gou asked, "Do you know that there are tens of thousands of soldiers outside Chang'an City?" ”

Fu Jian replied: "Erchen knows. ”

Empress Dowager Gou continued: "I know, and then what? ”

Fu Jian said: "Brother Fu Fa once told me that they were elite soldiers prepared for the anti-Fu Sheng, and they were all meritorious soldiers. And the soldiers did not want to be incorporated into other armies, so they temporarily camped outside Chang'an City to defend the imperial city. ”

Empress Dowager Gou asked again: "Do you believe it?" Fu Jian was silent, and the Empress Dowager Gou continued, "When you raised an army against Fu Sheng, you took Fu Sheng, but Fu Fa took the entire palace. If I hadn't come that day, would you have been able to be this emperor? Let me ask you again, you grew up with Fufa, what kind of heart does he have, do you know? ”

Empress Dowager Gou continued: "I was able to enter the palace without hindrance that day, and Fu Fa knew that if he did not agree to let Xian, then your uncle's men would kill him in the palace and take his life. He couldn't, so he had to give way. But this country, he gave it up in his mouth, but he didn't let it in his heart, he stationed troops outside the imperial city, saying that it was to protect the imperial city, but in fact, it was only his law that was protected. If you are at odds with him one day, he will command tens of thousands of people to come into the palace and take your throne and your life. You shouldn't be ignorant of this. ”

Fu Jian was silent, and the Empress Dowager Gou said: "After you ascend the throne, you will implement benevolent governance, I know that you want to be a good emperor." But I can't just watch people look at me. Since you can't be a bad guy, then I'll do a good job of this bad guy. Emperor, do you understand the hard work of your mother? ”

"For your good" hung around Fu Jian's neck like a heavy chain.

For my own good, can you act recklessly and kill the important ministers of the country?

"The wine that the queen mother gave to Brother Fufa, can you give her son a cup?" Fu Jian said to the Empress Dowager Gou.

Empress Dowager Gou was stunned and said, "Naturally." After saying that, he ordered the slave girl to bring wine up.

Fu Jian looked at the wine, took it up and drank it all, and the Empress Dowager Gou also picked up another glass of wine and drank it with Fu Jian, and there was no wine left.

He knew that his mother would not harm him, he knew that there was no poison in the wine, and he knew it when the Empress Dowager promised to give him wine. It's just that Fu Fa will die, but I'm afraid that wine is just an auxiliary, and Fu Fa's death has another cause of death. He can't pursue it, because once he investigates, the final investigation will only be his biological mother.

Fu Jian walked out of Changle Palace, he knew that it was not about Fu Fa's ambitions, his mother also had the ambition to seek power. From the Empress Dowager Qin Xuan Miyue, to the Empress Dowager Dou of the Han Dynasty, to the Empress Dowager Guo of Cao Wei, to the Empress Dowager Chu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which one is not an ambitious politician?

After learning that Fu Fa had died last night, Fu Jian sent people to collect troops outside Chang'an City. Those who are willing to submit are to be put into the barracks; Those who do not want to submit will be killed on the spot, without mercy. Now that the news has come to the palace, the reorganized army is almost complete.

Now that Fu Fa is dead, the rest is the queen mother's henchmen, if the henchmen are not cleared as soon as possible, in the future, I am afraid that the relationship between their mother and son will be even more unfavorable.

Suddenly, a eunuch hurriedly approached and said to Fu Jian: "Your Majesty, the king asks to see you!" ”

Fu Jian said as he walked: "Xuan! ”

Before Fu Fa died, the queen mother in the palace ordered someone to send a pot of wine, saying: "Today's banquet in the palace, King Qinghe did not come, and there was no reward, so he gave a pot of wine, and the right to have fun together." ”

Fu Fa was suspicious in his heart, thinking that back then, his biological mother and Empress Dowager Gou were not good. However, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and there has been nothing to do for many years. Empress Dowager Gou has never liked herself, but now she has asked people to send wine, which is even more incredible.

But thought to himself

Many days later, Fu Jian stood on the city tower, and suddenly saw Fu Rong asking to see him, and when Fu Rong saw him, he smiled and said, "Brother Huang, who do you guess I brought here?" ”

Fu Jian looked at him and didn't speak, only to see Fu Rong continue to smile and say, "Who do you think this is?" ”

As he spoke, a monk who looked like black charcoal walked out and approached in monk's robes. When Fu Jian saw the monk Dao'an bowing to himself, he suddenly realized: "The master came from afar, and he lost his welcome!" For a moment, he forgot that he was the emperor.

On that day, Fu Jian and Dao An discussed Buddhism until late at night.

The two sat opposite each other, silent, and the sound of rain began to rise outside. Fu Jian listened to the sound of the rain, his heart was sad, and he said to Dao'an: "You Prajna often say, Prajna is detached. How can you leave, you can't help but be delusional. Because we don't live in the six senses, we don't have the five aggregates; Do not live in the seven senses, depart from the five aggregates, and endure all suffering; Do not live in the eight senses, detach from all appearances, and be pure in all laws; If you don't stop Bodhi as the mind, you can separate yourself from the body and mind, and know that the truth is like the mind and all the dharma natures, and you will attain pure enlightenment. It's the heart that is cultivated, but the heart is guilty, how should I practice? ”

Monk Dao'an said: "Buddhism emphasizes that everything in the world has cause and effect, everything is good because of good results, and evil results also come from evil causes, all of which have roots to be found, and Your Majesty does not have to feel guilty." ”

Fu Jian said: "What if this person dies because of me? ”

Monk Dao'an seemed to know that Fu Jian meant something, but he knew that this person was not dead; He also knew that Fu Jian was looking for her. He had to see her when they went to the land of Beiyan, the jujube red horse, that person, he remembered when he was practicing in Yecheng. So when she passed by, he recognized it at a glance. Soon after they left, people who looked like dead men went around asking about their whereabouts.

Monk Dao'an said: "What is Your Majesty referring to, but old friends? ”

Fu Jian was a little surprised and asked, "How does the master know?" ”

Dao An smiled and said, "The little monk wants to say: That person's blessings are not exhausted, and he is still alive in the world." ”
