1204 Don't force me to be a tyrant
Qiu Guhan looked at him almost incredulously, almost wanting to laugh. "Top" point "small" said, x.
Meritorious and high-spirited? Did Xia Wusheng think of himself and him, the emperor, like this?
Yes, Xia Wusheng and the Xia clan have indeed made great achievements from the dragon, and now they also have great power and status, but when it comes to the credit for pushing him to the throne, the first is the queen and the Feng family, followed by Yin Jiu Killing, then Xia Wusheng and the Xia family, followed by Prince Jing, Elder Yin, Xiangguo Gong and others, and the Xia family does not have great influence in the army, and it is not enough to threaten his regime and throne, so why should he worry about Xia Wusheng's "high merit and shock the master"?
Xia Wusheng used to be a smart person, but he was too forbearant and depressed in the past, and after finally sitting in his current high position, he was dazzled by power, wealth, status and everyone's praise, and he was too fluttering and carried away, so that he pushed himself into this crisis of dissatisfaction.
Think about Ji Heng, who was once more prominent and powerful than Xia Wusheng, but after losing power, he judged the situation, quickly adjusted his mentality, led the whole clan to be a small volt, cautious and restrained, diligent and dedicated, even he, the emperor, couldn't pick a big thorn, in comparison, Xia Wusheng was at least ten times worse than Ji Heng!
If Xia Wusheng continues like this, the only way to destroy miรจ!
"There's nothing wrong with what is out there." He stared at Xia Wusheng, who was constantly sweating, and a voice that made Xia Wusheng's face turn pale came out from his lips, "I really want to be arbitrary and arbitrary, kill all the courtiers who oppose me and are dissatisfied with me, and be a tyrant who prospers against me, perishes against me, and has no scruples!" โ
Xia Wusheng felt that his heart was about to stop beating, could it be that the emperor ...... Do you really want to be a tyrant who kills his ministers?
He has been planning for the emperor for so many years and has paid so much effort, and he ended up like this?
For a while, he was really about to beat his chest and burst into tears.
"It's just," Qiu Guhan's words suddenly turned, "However, if I become a tyrant who kills whenever I want, the queen will definitely leave me, and even become an enemy of me, so when I ascended the throne, I named myself 'Mingzong', and told myself to become a Ming monarch who can make a difference, worthy of the queen, and can make the queen fall in love, so I can't be too freewheeling, even if I am angry and impulsive, I must endure until the time is right." โ
After listening to this passage, Xia Wusheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and felt alive again, but the emperor's last sentence made his heart hang in the air again: Could it be that the emperor still has this heart, but now is not the time, so the emperor is patiently waiting for the so-called "opportunity"?
So, when the time comes, what will the emperor do?
Just thinking about it makes his heart furious.
He wanted to say something, such as praising the emperor for how wise and popular he was, but the emperor did not pause, and continued to speak, without giving him a chance to express his support.
"Just like this time," the emperor said slowly, his voice slowly became low, and his eyes slowly became deep and dark, as if countless dark clouds were constantly gathering into his eyes, surging, tumbling and brewing terrible lightning and thunder in his eyes, "Someone used the most inferior means to frame the queen and humiliate the queen, however, I could not do anything, I could only watch the queen being ridiculed, criticized, and humiliated. โ
"Xia Guogong," his voice calmed again, "Do you know how angry I am in my heart?" How to blame yourself? If it weren't for the Queen's ability to smile and comfort me, I would have slaughtered the government and the opposition, and let everyone shed their blood and soul for their ridicule and opposition to the Queen. โ
Xia Wusheng was speechless.
The emperor's eyes ...... There is no concern and awe for human life, that is to say, what the emperor said is true.
Emperor...... can definitely do such a thing, it just depends on whether the emperor really does it.
"So," Qiu Guhan looked at him calmly, "you, it's better not to force me to be a tyrant, no one can afford that kind of result." โ
Xia Wusheng felt that his throat was very dry, like walking alone in the desert for ten days and ten nights, his throat was already smoking, he thought that he would at least have to lick his tongue or swallow saliva to survive, however, he opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't even dare to swallow.
Fear...... Fear from the depths of his heart captured him in this way.
After the emperor finished speaking, he still sat there motionless, his hands on the armrests, his posture had not changed, but he looked more relaxed, calmer, and colder than before.
Such an emperor is so strange, not at all like the emperor and cousin he knows and has seen.
What's even more terrifying is that the emperor looked at him with eyes, as if he was looking at something he didn't know, didn't have any feelings, and even had no life and meaning, and he was afraid that he would never forget it in his life.
He didn't dare to look at such an emperor, but his eyes seemed to be fixed by invisible magic, and he couldn't take his eyes off the emperor's face.
The four eyes touched, and Xia Wusheng felt that he was dead.
- The emperor has already executed him in his heart!
Cold sweat kept coming down, constantly flowing over his eyes, making his eyes tingle and hurt.
When this stinging pain reached a certain level, he was finally able to speak: "Your Majesty, on behalf of the government and the opposition and the people, please continue to be the Ming Emperor, the ministers will definitely be loyal to the emperor, obey the emperor, and will definitely not disappoint and anger the emperor again." โ
Even he was amazed at how well he could speak, but his voice was filled with unprecedented deference and humility.
Before this, he had never spoken to the emperor in such a deferential and humble tone.
"Xia Guogong," the emperor looked at him in the eyes and spoke to him in a tone like he was just an insignificant ant, "remember every word you say in front of me at this moment, the crime of bullying the king cannot be escaped unless you die." โ
Xia Wusheng said respectfully: "Yes, the minister respectfully obeys the holy decree." โ
The emperor said: "Then, you can go." โ
"Yes, thank you, Lord Long." Xia Wusheng was like a puppet who had received an order, kowtowed three times, stood up tremblingly, and walked out tremblingly, even bending his waist.
Qiu Guhan looked at his back without any emotion.
This is the last chance - the last chance he gave Xia Wusheng, a chance to live.
He didn't know how he left the Qianhua Palace, and he didn't know how he returned to the mansion, but after this day, he took sick leave, and he was sick for more than a month, never went out, never got out of bed, and never saw outsiders, and it was said that he had nightmares almost every night.
What kind of nightmare he had, only he knew.
