64. The past brings mourning
An old-fashioned opening remark, the first emperor was young, and he listened to a lot of slander.
Due to the successive blows of favored ministers and noble concubines, the first emperor became suspicious of the old ministers who were loyal to the country but could not flatter, and used various ways to withdraw their rights or degrade them from afar.
Among them, the last one to be punished, and the one who was punished the most, was the old prime minister of Zhaoyun at that time.
The old prime minister was framed for communicating with foreign countries and subverting the dynasty, and it stands to reason that this kind of big crime is to punish the nine clans!
However, due to the hard work of the old prime minister and the great achievements of the people, the people of the world do not believe in the crime, and they are unhappy for the old prime minister!
For a while, the people were angry, and the news could not be stopped, and it reached the ears of the first emperor.
Although the first emperor no longer trusted the old prime minister, for the sake of the common people's grievances, and he also had some respect for the old prime minister, he hastily made a decree that the old prime minister would be sent to the frontier and would never be allowed to return to the city.
As soon as the holy decree was issued, the old prime minister was cold, he knew that the first emperor could not listen to anything except the flattery and slander of the villain.
Disheartened, the old prime minister dragged his family to the frontier, the road was far away, and the journey was only halfway through, and his wife died of illness in the middle of the way.
When they arrived at the distribution place, the already unprosperous family, the dead and wounded of the old and the young, only the old prime minister and his only son were left with a family of four.
Resentment, how can you not complain, but so what, the old prime minister wanted to go with him when his wife left, but he was reluctant to let his son's family survive.
The people in the frontier are simple and kind, and they have helped a lot, and the family can be regarded as living in harmony.
I thought this was the end, but in the sixth year after arriving at the frontier, a group of bandits came, killing people and goods, and the old prime minister's son and his family died tragically under the knife, and the murderous bandits did not even let go of his little grandson!
But the old prime minister is fine...... He went to Linzhen to catch the market that day, and happened to escape the catastrophe, he hated, hated why he lived alone every time!
Gave the things at home to the neighbors who had a lot of help on weekdays, and simply took care of other things, the old prime minister was about to die, and the ropes were tied but were stopped by the people sent by the emperor!
Not only did he not die, but not long after the first emperor arrived, looking at the emperor who was nearly ten years younger than himself kneeling at his feet and repenting, the old prime minister had mixed feelings.
There are more and more ** soups that have been poured in, and the first emperor has become more and more addicted, and there have been a lot of wine and wealth over the years, and the Ming Jun of the year has become a waste who only knows how to enjoy!
By the time he realized that it was too late, ******** had weakened his body, and the favored minister who framed the old prime minister had become the new prime minister, and the power was tilted towards the government and the opposition, and he couldn't be defeated at all.
But the first emperor was unwilling, he couldn't let the inheritance of his ancestors be destroyed in his hands!
He looked around and saw that there was not a single person he could trust......
In his infinite sadness, he thought of the only one he could still trust, the old prime minister. The first emperor sent someone to inquire quietly, and after learning that he and his only son's family were fine, he quietly sent someone to take care of him.
Then in the capital Wujiang City silently laid out, and spent thousands of financial and material resources to train a group of dead soldiers, except for the first emperor who was the master, no one knew how many dead people there were, and what their identities were, how to contact.
Unexpectedly, the new prime minister did not forget to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and after so many years, he finally found the old prime minister and killed his family!
The first emperor was still too late after all......
He knew that the old prime minister would not forgive him, so the first emperor knelt in front of the grass hut for three days and three nights, told the old prime minister of his long-term layout and plan to overthrow the new prime minister, and handed over all the command of the dead man to the old prime minister.
The dead will always listen to only one of their masters, unless they order them to be handed over to another.
If the owner is assassinated, the dead soldiers will take the initiative to find out the truth and take revenge, and then quietly commit suicide.
The old prime minister's deep-rooted loyalty to the monarch made him unable to refuse, but his hatred could not be eliminated, and he promised to assist in the grand plan of purging the dynasty, but he never wanted to see the first emperor again, including the first emperor's son Xindi.
Seeing that the old prime minister agreed, the first emperor finally relented, and soon left, leaving behind the chaotic court and the young new emperor.
The new emperor had a very skillful courtier by his side, who taught the new emperor the art of power, and made him familiar with the weaknesses of all powerful ministers and important people, and helped the young emperor press the treacherous appearance that was about to move.
And the reason why they know all the news about the powerful ministers and important people is all thanks to the intelligence network planted by the first emperor in the people!
The head of this intelligence network is also embarrassed, and he is a former emperor's affair among the people!
The land of fireworks was all over the night, and I didn't expect a boy to come out.
When the first emperor knew that the child's existence was at the time of the layout, he thought about it and ordered someone to train the child according to the prince's specifications, but he did not accept him into the palace or disclose his identity.
Instead, let him go deeper into the chaotic land of fireworks, and gradually let this kid gain a foothold in the flower street and become the best helper of the new emperor!
Speaking of which, this kid is three years older than the new emperor who is coming out......
Speaking of Cheng Cheng's story, Cheng Xiaoxiao has already understood...... Her heart ached for the two people she loved most in her life, her grandfather and her son......
Grandpa turned out to be the prime minister back then, and Childe was an illegitimate child who was completely used! But that's not the end of the story......
This is the end of the first emperor's care, and the question of how to use resources to bring down the traitorous minister is left to the new emperor, the illegitimate prince of Huajie, the clever courtiers of the new emperor, and those people they gathered.
The silver in the treasury was strictly managed, and the power was withdrawn little by little, and the traitor realized the new emperor's thoughts, and finally understood that the little emperor was not easy to mess with.
He became cautious and searched for a way back.
This back road is the one he framed the old prime minister back then, and he was connected to foreign countries!
The traitor had dealings with Moissanguo in his early years, so he was able to get the so-called evidence to frame the loyal ministers, but now that he has moved his mind, this action is even more hidden.
In order to find evidence of his collusion with foreign envoys and princes, this group of people had to do all kinds of things to their liking, just to gain his trust and get a chance!
What does the adulterer like, he has been cautious all his life, but he is just lustful!
In the early years, I liked beautiful women, but as I got older, beautiful women got tired of playing, just like most dignitaries, they preferred men, especially cute little boys!
Another hobby is to listen to curious stories and become a little ...... It just so happens that these two points are accounted for!
Speaking of which, Cheng Cheng adopted Yang Xiaoxiao just to relieve loneliness, but he didn't expect that this granddaughter he kindly adopted would become an important part of the plan!
