1184 doesn't have the best of both worlds
read336();
Late at night, Qiu Guhan sat quietly in the study of Qianhua Palace, without any sleep.
It was midnight, and there were only three or four hours before the morning of the new day, and those men would not let him go, and if he did not give them a definite or satisfactory answer, they would be pestered and could say anything unpleasant.
This morning, he had had enough, and he absolutely did not want to, and could not let them humiliate him and his queen so much.
It's just that he still can't make a decision.
No matter what the decision is, it is bound to be a difficult one.
Finally, there were soft footsteps outside the door, and Elder Yin's voice came in lightly: "The humble post has arrived, can the emperor see it conveniently?" β
He stood up: "Come in." β
The door was pushed open, Elder Yin walked in, and after closing the door, he hugged his fist at him, and didn't talk nonsense: "What does the emperor command?" β
Qiu Guhan smiled and made a "please" gesture: "Sit down and talk." β
Elder Yin sat down and looked at him quietly, waiting for him to speak.
Qiu Guhan looked at him, who was always so calm and restrained, his heart settled down a little, sat down, and said in a low voice: "You must have heard about the queen's affairs, this morning, King Xian led a group of royal relatives to force me to abolish the queen or degrade the queen as a concubine......"
He succinctly described the corners of those people's mouths and their demands.
He wasn't sure what was best for him, but he could hardly find anyone to discuss, and after thinking about it, he thought of Elder Yin, who was experienced, loyal to him, and low-key and calm.
Maybe Elder Yin can give him some pointers, so that he can see a direction and hope that is not too bad.
After he finished describing, he said: "I finally married the queen, no matter what happens, I will not give up on her, but the current shape is too bad for the queen, and I should not be able to convince these people." Therefore, I am very embarrassed now, I don't know what to do, and I want to hear Elder Yin's thoughts. β
With that, he looked at Elder Yin with the eyes of his respected elders.
Elder Yin was silent for a while before he said slowly: "The humble official knows that the emperor hopes that the inferior function will come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, but the humble official believes that this matter involves the interests of too many people, and it is impossible to have the best of both worlds. No matter how embarrassed and reluctant the emperor is, he can only choose one of the two. β
Qiu Guhan's heart was cold, and there was a thin gloom in his eyes.
He knew that Elder Yin was telling the truth, but he still felt that he had been hit, his hands and feet were cold, and he felt dizzy.
Could it be that he really wants to take such an extreme path?
Is there a compromise and mitigation?
"Find someone with more status to come forward, or use various means to win over courtiers?" He asked reluctantly, "Is it possible to help the queen?" For example, please ask Prince He, Xiangguo Gong, Prince Jing, General Feng Lao and others to come forward? β
"I think that the more big people are involved, the more detrimental it will be to the queen." Elder Yin still said calmly, "It is about the queen's honor, this is an ugly thing in the eyes of the world, the bigger the trouble, the more the world pays attention to it, the more it discusses, and the more it damages the queen's reputation." β
"According to what you say," Qiu Guhan was dejected and gloomy, "Aren't I and the Empress going to break with the entire royal family and courtiers, and they are incompatible?" β
He wasn't afraid of that situation, he just didn't want to see it, and that situation wasn't good for the queen.
Let the queen be on the cusp, laughed and talked about by countless people, this is not the life he wants to give the queen.
Elder Yin was silent for a while before he said slowly, "Not necessarily. These people persecuted the emperor so much, not because the queen's behavior made them unbearable to die, but because they thought that the emperor was not strong enough, and they believed that as long as they united, they would definitely be able to force the emperor to make concessions. β
Qiu Guhan suddenly raised his eyes and looked directly at him, without speaking, but there was something under his eyes like an undercurrent surging under the deep sea.
"But, Your Majesty," Elder Yin said slowly, "an emperor has not brought disaster to the country and the people, has not lost the hearts of the people, and is still in military power, no matter how much the imperial family and civil servants join forces to oppose it, what is there to fear?" β
Just such a sentence shocked Qiu Guhan's heart.
In his eyes, there was a strong, wild, sharp, almost cruel luster.
Is that so?
Is that the case?
He liked, even loved Elder Yin's theories and ideas, and his heart also rose with an extremely strong **, wanting to do this!
ββIf you want to be a self-respecting, unworldly, and powerful man and emperor, as long as he says the word "no", absolutely no one will dare to question and resist!
However, can he really do this at such a young age?
He thought so, and asked, "Iβcan I really do this?" β
Elder Yin was silent for a while, and then said, "You can't do anything about the Pope. The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and the subjects can only build yΓ¬ and ask the emperor to do something, and they must not do what the emperor does. β
Qiu Guhan was silent and fell into deep thought.
It was quiet in the study.
Qiu Guhan didn't feel the passage of time and the movement of the world.
"There is only one thing I regret in my life." But suddenly, Elder Yin, who rarely took the initiative to speak, let alone talk about his own affairs, spoke, "What is in the past will pass, and it will not come back, and people will all die, no matter what kind of love and hatred they have, they will eventually come to naught. β
Qiu Guhan was a little surprised, Elder Yin would take the initiative to talk about his own affairs, and he said it so emotionally?
It was the first time he had seen such an Elder Yin.
"I regret my humble duties," Elder Yin's eyes were slightly gloomy, "Only when the goddess in the heart of the humble duty was trapped and suffered, because she had too many concerns, she couldn't spare a qiΔ to save her, and only stole her body after she was killed, found a so-called feng shui treasure for her to bury, and went to incense her every year, and once hypocritically thought that he was a man with affection and righteousness." β
He paused for a moment before he said: "However, an afterthought is an afterthought after all, and it can't change the past, only regret it." β
Qiu Guhan's heart, after a slight shock, was sour and astringent.
After a while, he said softly and tentatively: "You buried that woman with ...... What coffin? β
For Elder Yin, he is grateful, respectful, and trusting, and in the whole world, except for his queen, he trusts Elder Yin the most.
And why Elder Yin would save him, support him, and be loyal to him like that, he vaguely knew some reasons in his heart, but after all, it was just a speculation based on all kinds of rumors and clues, and he had never received any explanation or explanation from the person concerned.
If possible, he still wanted to confirm whether his guess was true.
Elder Yin was silent for a while before he said slowly, "A coffin made of ebony for ten thousand years." β
He was left to him by his grandfather and was said to immortalize the body for many years.
In the end, the only thing he could give her was this coffin.
The only thing he could save was her body.
