Chapter 136: Chess Pieces
The second old lady's words were a little abrupt and a little weird, Xiusun frowned, which showed that the second old lady had long expected that the emperor would look at the eighth old man differently, so he cared about the eighth master's homework in every possible way, and this time he specially called the eighth old man back from Yongzhou.
However, what kind of character is the eighth master, how can the people in this house not know, and the second old lady is the best among the people who understand.
In this way, it shows that what the second old lady values most is actually that the eighth old man has no brains.
That's whatever.
Xiusun suddenly wanted to say something dirty, just like when the imperial grandmother was angry.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, such a simple truth, how could the second old lady not understand, he just took the eighth old man as a chess piece, and continued to use it if he was favored by the emperor, anyway, it was easy to control, if the emperor disliked it, it would not be too late for him to abandon the son.
The hateful second old lady.
The generals of the Tianfu garrison knelt and begged yesterday, and wanted to invite the emperor to live back to the palace, but they were categorically refused, and the deputy general of Jiangnan had to mention that yì transferred a guard to surround the old mansion in Jiangpu, saying that he wanted to protect the emperor's safety, but the emperor waved his hand again, saying that it was enough to transfer the royal forest army with him.
Officials at all levels of Ying Tianfu are a little confused no matter what type of work, what does the emperor mean, is it just the river? But this is Jinling, Liudu, why do you have to worship your ancestors.
Could it be that the emperor wants to exchange Jinling for blood?
Everyone has a feeling of being struck by thunder, and they all want to kneel down directly to the emperor and then hug the emperor's thigh and cry bitterly, the emperor, we are loyal, heaven and earth can be learned, please raise your noble hand.
When the emperor saw the panicked appearance of these treacherous courtiers, his heart became more and more satisfied, and this was what he wanted to achieve.
He lived in the old mansion in Jiangpu for three days with satisfaction, and every day he dragged the head of Zhenming Dao, the second old lady and the eighth old man to study Qingci in the study, and did not ask about things outside the window.
Three days later, the emperor suddenly announced that he wanted to cross the river to worship the emperor's mausoleum, and by the way to visit the Huangjue Temple, Zhongshan and other famous scenic spots, fortunately, the emperor should be alerted by Lord Yin Ju of Tianfu, the emperor did not leave for a day, and the personnel and horses he arranged did not dare to withdraw, but they did not want to come in handy.
The heart of heaven is unpredictable, and sure enough.
The officials, who finally got used to it in panic, blew up again, and ran to the dock to pick up the driver.
The emperor calmly traveled all the way, thanking his ancestors, and then walked away and continued south.
The entire Ying Tianfu pinched a cold sweat, and from then on, the emperor's color changed.
The emperor didn't leave a word for the second old lady before leaving, and the second old lady didn't show anything on his face, and he was actually a little bottomless in his heart.
He also knew in his heart that this was the emperor's trick to control people, and the guò was capricious, unpredictable, and then fearful, so that the throne could be more stable.
However, it really doesn't feel good to be manipulated by someone at a thought, he understands that person is the lord of the world, but the lord of the world is sometimes a little hairy child who has not dried up.
This scene still has to be performed, he cheered up and called the eighth master to his side to ask, not because he was patient, but because the emperor's secret guard was afraid that he would have been evacuated from the old mansion in Jiangpu in the past two days.
The eighth master was in high spirits, he saw the emperor, and the emperor looked at him differently, admiring his literary brilliance, of course he was happy, and he couldn't wait to jump high step by step when he walked.
The second old lady couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it, although the fool is easy to control, but it is too stupid, and it is not a good thing.
"What did the emperor tell you?" The second old lady Zhao Eighth sat opposite and personally poured him a cup of tea.
The eighth master thanked him and recalled, "It's nothing special, just ask me if I want to pass through Jiangxi from Pukou to Yongzhou." ”
"Poof!" The second old lady just picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and when she heard this, she was so shocked that she squirted out her whole mouthful.
When the eighth master saw the second old lady like this, he was afraid that he would choke, so he quickly got up and patted the eighth master on the back.
The second old lady's surprise was not trivial, some of the tea squirted out, some rushed into the nasal cavity, the whole brain was choked with water, and the old eyes were full of tears.
The second old lady struggled and coughed again and again, and finally regained a little freedom to breathe, and gasped for breath for a while, before he collapsed and asked, "That...... That...... How did you answer the emperor? ”
The eighth old man's face was dazed, in his opinion, this was just an ordinary conversation, he tried to recall, and said, "The emperor asked me if I knew King Ning, of course I did, so I praised King Kuning." ”
Fortunately, the eighth old man was not stupid to get home, he saw that the second old lady's eyes widened more and more when he heard it, which was strange and terrifying, and he hesitated and asked, "Second uncle, did I say the wrong thing?" ”
The second old lady swallowed his saliva, thinking that you didn't know that you had caused a big disaster, and you really couldn't help it, I don't know how many people's fate you would change with one word, if it was his own son, he would have smoked a big-eared melon seed a long time ago, and then made up for two feet, and directly kicked into the fish pond in front of the door and drowned, but what to do, he has no one else to use.
I had to comfort him, "It's okay, you didn't say the wrong thing." "No matter how much it is, I don't bother to say a word.
The eighth master felt a little relieved when he heard this, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, thinking to himself, he said, how can it be wrong to praise people, not to mention that he is not lying.
The second old lady was really relieved when he saw him, and asked again, "Why did you quat King Ning?" ”
The eighth master put down the tea bowl and replied respectfully, "My nephew didn't lie, he just said that King Ning was famous, and the people were all respectful." ”
The second old lady's heart was lifted high, but he was slowly put back to the ground by himself, he sighed in his heart, do you have a brain, he is a feudal king who is generally sent away in exile, and it stands to reason that local officials may not necessarily put him in their eyes, where does the good name come from? What does he want to do?
The people are still respected, and the people can only respect one person, that is the emperor, what kind of thing is he a vassal king?
In fact, the second old lady has also heard a little about King Ning's actions around Jiangxi over the years, and local officials have some dealings with him, as well as rumors that King Ning secretly trained government soldiers.
It's just that he has been in the opposition all these years, and of course he doesn't have to worry about the court to this point.
Now looking at the emperor's words and deeds, he is still afraid of King Ning, the emperor is suspicious, and he asked the heartless eighth master, indicating that he still hasn't forgotten those things back then.
This psychology, the second old lady understands, his father is also a concubine, he has been suppressed in the old mansion in Jiangpu for many years, and he has also been affected, and his career has not been smooth for many years, and he has struggled. People have been suppressed for a long time, and when there is an opportunity for revenge, few people will really let go of hatred, it is simply a long distance that never stops.
The second old lady deduced that the emperor would definitely not let go of the people who suppressed him back then, and at the same time felt that he was more merciful and comfortable than the emperor.
I don't know if the emperor will have a new plan after hearing the answer of the eighth master, the life and death of Jiangxi has little to do with him, you might as well sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and have fun.
It's just that it is good to find a way to move the eldest son to another place as soon as possible, once there is chaos in Jiangxi, it is likely to occupy Hunan and other surrounding areas in one fell swoop, and Yongzhou will inevitably have a military disaster. The second old lady imagined the territory map and stroked her beard. (To be continued.) )
