876 The emperor asked, and the Taifu replied

read336();

He said that he had fallen asleep by hiding, and that he was awakened by a terrible scream, and that he heard his grandfather talking to his men, and he sounded angry and sad, and he was frightened. He heard someone persuade his grandfather, saying that the life of the six princes was thin, asking his grandfather to mourn and so on, he didn't understand it very well, and he knew that it seemed that the six princes died, and his grandfather was very sad......"

"This kid was frightened, hiding under the table and didn't dare to come out, so he listened to the adults talking and arguing there, and then I heard someone persuade my grandfather to bring the emperor's edict back to the capital, and then a few people quarreled for a long time about the edict, and he remembered the edict......"

"So, this kid asked me what the edict was. At that time, it was not long before the death of the first emperor, and it was the early death of the sixth prince, I thought it was better not to spread this matter, so I lied to this kid that the edict was an important gift from the emperor to the grandfather of the country, and the grandfather of the country had a deep affection for the emperor, and he would be very sad to see and hear this thing, so ah, he must not mention the matter of the emperor and the edict again, lest the grandfather of the country hear it......"

"This kid respects and is close to Grandpa Guo, and after listening to my words, he believed it, and I took other interesting things to divert his attention, and he forgot about the edict......"

At this time, this disciple was already very drunk, and Ji Heng didn't bother to knock on the side, and asked directly: "This kid is so filial to the grandfather of the country, and he is so studious, it seems that he is a talent." I don't know what his name is? I'm going to give him a hand in the future. ”

"This kid is indeed a talent." The disciple sighed, "It's just that when I was patrolling the sea a few years ago, I unfortunately accidentally drowned and walked ......away."

Ji Heng sighed when he heard this, and muttered: "It's a pity......"

Otherwise, he could find this kid and find a way to inquire about the edict in detail.

He was a little unwilling, and asked, "What else did that kid hear back then?" For example, the edict and the matter of the six princes? ”

The disciple was already drunk and delirious, and said while thinking: "That kid was only five or six years old at the time, and it was winter, he hid under the table and was very cold, and he was very frightened by the noise of adults, where do you remember what you heard?" I know why the adults are arguing about the affairs of the first emperor, the six princes, and the edicts......"

Ji Heng asked again: "Then how did this kid leave the study?" ”

The disciple said: "I don't remember very well, it seems that Grandpa Guo's health is suddenly not good, and others helped Grandpa Guo out, so this kid sneaked out......"

Ji Heng said: "Do you know who the people who were talking in the study with Grandpa Guo at that time......

"It's been so long, and I didn't hear it with my own eyes, so the ghost only knew......"

"Who else knows about the edict?"

"The Devil Knows ......"

"Who else did you tell about this?"

"The ghost only remembered this, and it was just a casual conversation with you that he remembered. Oh, teacher, why don't you drink it? Come on, come on, drink quickly, let's not get drunk and don't return......"

Then the disciple was drunk and unconscious.

Ji Heng left the Guogong Mansion at this time.

On the way back, he thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was not so simple, and he couldn't just ignore it because it had been a long time.

So he turned around halfway and went straight to the palace to report to the emperor.

After listening to it in silence, Qiu Yexian said, "Do you think this edict is true?" ”

It has been a full ten years since his father's death, and he has been the emperor for five years, but he has never heard of it.

Was the man drunk or misremembered, or was it true?

Ji Heng has served the emperor for more than 20 years, and he knows the emperor quite well, in his eyes, the emperor is an emperor who may not be particularly outstanding in any aspect, but there is absolutely no one that is particularly lacking.

That is to say, the first emperor was an emperor with the most comprehensive and balanced comprehensive ability, and such an emperor could foresee the future battle for the dragon chair, so he left a secret edict before he died.

But he didn't dare to say it immediately, so as not to appear that he was smarter than the emperor and understood the emperor, but after thinking about it for a while, he said: "The minister has never heard of this before, but now that he thinks about it, he would rather believe it than believe that it is not." ”

Qiu Yexian stared at him: "Why would you rather believe in it than believe in it?" ”

Ji Heng thought in his heart, Your Majesty, you are so scheming, do you want me to point it out?

But since the emperor wants him to break it, he can only break it: "Now that this shape is shì, the prince of the police has ill intentions, and Prince Xing has formed a party with the Feng family and the Yin family for personal gain, and he doesn't seem to be so submissive to the emperor." Now that the great family of Xiangguo Gong has returned to the capital, no matter whether this edict is true or not, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will use this so-called edict to make waves, so it is better to believe that it is there and take precautions as soon as possible. ”

Qiu Yexian was still staring at him, and he couldn't see what his expression was: "So, how does Taifu think to prevent it?" ”

Why ask me? Ji Heng scolded in his heart, and said: "Because the minister just knew the news, he didn't have time to think about the countermeasures yet, and asked the emperor to give the minister a little time and let the minister think about it." ”

"That's what Aiqing said." Qiu Yexian was still silent, "I give you three days, and after three days, you will tell me your thoughts." ”

Ji Heng saluted: "The minister receives the order." ”

Qiu Yexian changed the topic and asked again: "What do you think will be written in that edict?" ”

Ji Heng really didn't want to answer such a sensitive question.

But he could only reply: "The minister thinks that since this edict was handed over to the Duke of Xiangguo, it should be more or less related to His Royal Highness the Sixth." ”

Autumn Night String asked: "What kind of relationship is there?" ”

If I knew, wouldn't I be a god? Ji Heng muttered in his heart and said: "At that time, His Royal Highness the Sixth Emperor was still fostered in a temple in the suburbs, maybe the first emperor knew that the dragon's body was not good, and hoped that he could arrange a good place for the six princes after his death." ”

As he expected, Autumn Night String asked again, "What's the best place to go?" ”

Ji Heng pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "Maybe it's to seal His Royal Highness Sixth as a prince and give him a fief or something?" ”

Qiu Yexian asked: "Although the first emperor and the sixth brother are gone, this edict is still valid, right?" ”

Ji Heng said: "It is effective according to the rules. ”

Qiu Yexian asked again: "You say, since the Xu family has such an edict in their hands, why hasn't they taken it out for a long time?" Will it be taken out later? ”

Ji Heng had to continue to help him "guess": "The emperor reminded the ministers, if the Xu family really has such an edict in their hands, but they haven't taken it out for ten years, it is likely that it is because of the chaotic situation in the first few years after the death of the first emperor, and the fact that Xu Guifei and the six princes left too early, and the Xu family's strength is insufficient, and this edict may be difficult to implement." And now, the world thinks that the appearance of the late Prince Police and Prince Xing may make the Xu family come up with this edict again. ”

Qiu Yexian asked: "If the Xu family can't take out this edict, what does it have to do with Prince Police and Prince Xing?" ”

It's the coldest time of the year, but Ji Heng just wants to wipe his sweat.

The emperor must have an idea in his heart, why bother to force him to say it all?

He pretended to think about it for a long time before he said: "Perhaps, the Xu family thinks that Prince Police and Prince Xing can help the Xu family realize the content of the edict, but it is not necessarily. ”

Qiu Yexian suddenly smiled: "Do you think that the Xu family thinks that I will not be able to realize the content of that edict?" ”
