Chapter 57: Secret Tricks
"Get up and speak." The emperor sighed deeply and asked Cao Zhen to get up first.
With this rise, Cao Zhen knew that he would not be qualified to continue arguing in the future, at least in the world of Emperor Yongjia, no one could vindicate the innocence of Xiaogu City.
No matter how clear the water was back then, one wrong step, one wrong step, a rebellion is a rebellion, just like this clear water, turbid, there is no going back.
Seeing that Cao Zhen no longer spoke, the emperor's face softened, and the tension in the room eased slightly, so he continued to ask, "What is the situation in Liuzhou?" ”
"Back to the emperor, two of the people sent to Liuzhou to investigate came back, and it was determined that there was indeed a Shenwei rebel party in the city, but Liuzhou was not Shenwei's lair. At present, there are still two people lurking in the city, and what to do next depends on the emperor's orders. ”
The emperor saw that Cao Zhen was very humble when he bowed his hand, but he snorted silently in his heart, according to his orders? Whether this person kills or not, can this account still be counted on someone else's head?
He thought about it, but he didn't reply to him, hooked his fingers with interest to make Cao Zhen straighten up, he slowly leaned down/leaned over, supported his elbows and knees and looked at Cao Zhen for a while, and then said: "Back then, you made a great contribution to winning the world, and I rewarded you for your glory, wealth and power, if you do this thing, I will ensure that you will live your later life safely?" ”
Cao Zhenleng was stunned for a moment, and immediately knelt down/leaned down to listen to the emperor's will.
Only then did the emperor say: "The crime of rebellion against the party is unforgivable, and those arrested should be punished, and those who are implicated will be punished according to the crime." This matter is supervised by the light clothes guard and the secret guard, and the king of Rui assists in the investigation, and it must be finished as much as possible. ”
"Commandment." Cao Zhen made a big salute, then stood up and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, there are too many important members of the former dynasty involved in the Shenwei Rebellion Party, if you dispose of it at will, I am afraid it will be ...... It will shake the dynasty. ”
"Not bad." The emperor tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, and continued: "That's why you have to distinguish well, if the officials of the DPRK and China insist on rebelling, it is also a hidden danger to stay, but if they truly repent, who can say that they are members of Shenwei?" It's just that there is one person, whether he is a member of Shenwei or not, he has to be a member of Shenwei, and he can't be kept, he must be removed. ”
"Your Majesty...... Want to move the prime minister? Cao Zhen raised his eyes slightly to look at the seat, but was shocked back by his cold gaze.
"You have also read "Secret Shadow Zhaowen", when Gongsun Tao was not convinced by me, I wiped out his ten clans. And what about the prime minister? The same two dynasties in a row, but they immediately bowed their heads and became vassals. What I look down on the most is such a person who thinks he can be humiliated by his crotch, he is really spineless, but he still pretends to be arrogant and arrogant for the world to worship.
Since Shenwei wants to establish a void monarch to help the prime minister ascend to the throne, don't say that I can't keep the prime minister, and the entire Daning Dynasty can't keep the prime minister. This time, if he has nothing to do with Shenwei, I can spare his family a way to live, otherwise, let the Bai clan bury him! ”
"That'...... What about Princess Rui? According to what the minister saw, King Rui was afraid that he was moved by his true feelings...... "Cao Zhen has followed the emperor for so many years, what does the emperor think in his heart, he can't guess ten points and can estimate eight points, although the emperor did not ask for Rong Xuan's life, but he immediately restored the reputation of the virtuous concubine, which shows the status of the virtuous concubine and the Rui king in his heart."
The emperor snorted disdainfully, and said with great disdain: "Jiangshan and women, he won't choose the wrong one." ”
Cao Zhen moved the corners of his mouth, and immediately understood what the emperor meant, and his face immediately reverted to the usual traitorous look, "My emperor is wise." ”
The emperor said no more, got up and went to get the cloak. Cao Zhen waited for him to get dressed and bowed to the side.
As soon as it was ready, the emperor raised his feet and wanted to leave, but hesitated for a moment and stopped, "Cao Zhen, do you remember what the first emperor said before he died?" The emperor who did Da Ning was a curse or a blessing, and he enjoyed all his greed, hatred, and obsession, and went back to hell to kneel down to his ancestors to make amends. The only thing I want is not to destroy the foundation of my ancestors if I take away my dragon chair, and it can be regarded as accumulating virtue for myself.
I think that the emperor is not bad, and the next generation is not badly cultivated, but the same reincarnation comes back to me, and the karma is difficult to eliminate, but I can understand a little bit of the meaning of the words of the first emperor. ”
Cao Zhen smiled slightly and said: "The emperor is too worried, and now the four sons check and balance each other, which is in response to the sentence in "A Thousand Family Fights", since ancient times, if the courtiers do not fight, how can the emperor sit still?" ”
The Hundred Flowers Dynasty will come to an end, and a big drama in the palace will also end quietly. The will of the palace was quietly fermenting slowly in this Forty-Nine Imperial City, and even the ordinary plain-clothed people smelled a different smell.
The emperor had already issued several decrees, so that the king of Jin would continue to be stationed in the two mansions of Yunxiang and did not have to return to Beijing. He also praised Wen Yuange's meritorious work in writing books, so that King Heng took over the things at hand of King Jin.
The officials in the court are also cloudy, and they all say that King Rui is not favored because he is implicated by the virtuous concubine, and now the virtuous concubine can show the snow, and the status of the wise king is also rising. The King of Jin, who had been restrained, was placed under house arrest in disguise, and said that the emperor found out that he was the real culprit behind the murder of the Queen Mother, but because of the royal face, it seemed that there was no chance to compete for the crown prince.
It's just that, the emperor can take advantage of the situation to set up the East Palace, but he just supported King Heng and King Huai to the throne, and now the three kings are standing, where is this wind blowing?
The movement in the court soon even Jingqi, the little girl in the palace, was heard word for word, looking at Diexi, who was still dutiful, Jingqi couldn't sit still anymore.
"Oh, my good princess, everyone says that she is the same forest bird, and she is anxious and anxious. I heard that the Xia family had already gone to her mother's house to help King Rui, why didn't you move at all? ”
Diexi looked her up and down, and sneered a few times, "Then what do you say I'm going to do?" Let Daddy say a lot of good words in front of the emperor? What a ......."
"What kind of flattery, I hate it~" Jingqi covered his face and stomped his foot shyly, "I mean, the prime minister is a first-class member of the court, and the relationship with the imperial history is also very good. ”
Diexi smiled helplessly and shook her head, but didn't explain much. Jing Qi couldn't get the point no matter how anxious she was, and finally pouted and went out the door.
After only a few steps out, Diexi heard a loud cry of ghosts and gods, and Jingqi seemed to use all his strength to ask for peace, and shouted, "Slave maid to His Royal Highness King Rui." ”
Jingqi ...... If you want to send a message, can we keep a low profile?
Diexi stood up with a smile and took two steps towards the door, just as she saw Feng Xiuyun walking in. She immediately bent down to salute him, but before the words could be spoken, he grabbed the conversation, "Diexi, I have something to tell you." ”
