Chapter 68-2: Avoiding Disaster (II)
"I've been suspicious of you for a long time, if you're really a dog that you raised, as soon as they die, you'll definitely show your feet." The emperor sneered, "I didn't expect you to be so calm, the fall of Wei Xiang didn't force you to show up, and you couldn't hold it until Concubine De was given death." You are loyal, and after the fall of your master, you are still thinking about cooperating with King Jing to avenge them, but it's a pity that you followed the wrong master, and your loyalty was also used in the wrong place......"
It seems that what the emperor said is true, and Lei Yi's whole body is weak, and he can't say a word to refute it. The emperor suddenly turned his head to look at me: "Mrs. Ronghua, when you were assassinated by the Ouchi guards, I will give you an explanation, how do you want to deal with him?" ”
I took a breath and said lightly: "The emperor is serious, he assassinated me back then on orders, and it is understandable from the duty of a slave." The concubine thought that his mistake was not in this, but in secret collusion with King Jing and wanted to mistreat the emperor, so it was appropriate for the emperor to decide this crime. ”
I still remember that when I replied to the emperor like this, the emperor was furious, and the cold voice made people drag the thunder wing down, and it would not end well to think that person. Now that I heard the old man say that the emperor's heart is colder and harder, I think back to that scene, I took a hard breath, and I couldn't refute it. I only heard the old man continue: "The Feng family army has already committed the taboo of the Son of Heaven by moving the three armies without the king's order. But they raised troops in the name of 'Qing Jun's side and diligent annihilation of the king', and the emperor overthrew King Jing and said that he was rebellious, and the Feng family army moved the three armies in vain, and he could not be punished in face, but also rewarded, rewarded, and comforted. But both sides understood what was going on in private, and recalled the Nine Kings back to Beijing, obviously to appease and reward, but in fact it was house arrest, and it was impossible for the emperor to trust Lao Jiu anymore. The Nine Kings knew this very well in their hearts, as long as he still had a little ambition, he would not obediently return to Beijing. ”
"So grandpa thinks that the disappearance of the Nine Kings is related to the emperor?" I bit my lip, "Because the Nine Kings refused to return to Beijing, they secretly killed him?" ”
"The Nine Kings did not return to Beijing, which just gave the emperor an excuse to punish him, why did the emperor do such a stupid thing as assassination?" The old man shook his head and sighed, "The emperor is now victorious, taking advantage of the time, place, and people, and it is impossible for the Feng family to fight against him." The Feng family understands that this time, the emperor will not be good, in order to protect the family, sacrifice the nine kings, it is inevitable, have you forgotten what Concubine Feng said before she died? ”
"The Feng family bears me?" My heart trembled, "But aren't Concubine Feng and the Nine Kings the support of the Feng family......
"You're wrong, girl, it's not that Concubine Feng and the Nine Kings are the support of the Feng family, it's the Feng family that is the backer of Concubine Feng and the Nine Kings, and the interests between them and the family are interdependent." The old man coughed twice and sighed lightly, "The Feng family is a family, not the world of the nine kings and the concubine Feng, when the Feng family thinks that it is impossible to confront the emperor, in order to protect the family, it is normal to sacrifice the nine kings......"
This is the survival mode of the family, and family affection is also based on the interests of the family, and when the interests of the family are damaged, they will not hesitate to abandon the chess pieces that will drag the family back. The families of all dynasties are incomparable, the Feng family is like this, and the Yun family is ...... Isn't that also the case? I bit my lip and felt a chill in my body, and the blood in my body seemed to freeze.
"But since it has been decided to sacrifice the Nine Kings, why is there a rumor that the Nine Kings are man-eating monsters in the Feng family's army? Feng Qiwu also died? The Nine Kings are missing again? "I tried not to think about whether the Yun family would abandon my heart-wrenching question if I was in the way of the Yun family's interests, and focused my thoughts on the topic of the mysterious disappearance of the Nine Kings. The old man shook his head: "I don't know about this matter, there must be something wrong with it." The death of a Feng Qiwu in the Feng family is more serious than the loss of a Feng concubine and the nine kings, the Feng family has lost its military power, and the future is only afraid that it will be even more difficult. So, girl, why do you think that the emperor will not attack the Yun family? ”
I was just holding on to a bit of luck, and I could feel the emperor's indulgence over the years, making me think that I was special in his heart, and even expected that he would be benevolent to the Yun family because of this. And the old man reminded me once again that this is impossible, when today's son has never been a woman's kindness in major affairs. I took a breath and said softly, "Grandpa, why does the Yun family have to wait for the emperor to clean it up?" ”
"What do you mean?" The old man looked at me, his eyes flashing slightly. I wasn't sure if what I said next would make him angry, but after thinking about it, I still decided to say it: "Grandpa, everything in the world is prosperous and must decline, the Yun family has been prosperous for too long, and has endured too much suffering and torture, if Yun Zheng was not born in the Yun family, he would not have suffered since childhood and died young." Seeing that the old man's face was really gloomy, I gritted my teeth, and continued: "Grandpa has no ambition to dominate the world, and he knows that the family will be suspicious of the emperor, and he knows that the emperor is afraid that a family will definitely be thinking about how to destroy it. ”
"Do you think this problem can be solved?" The old man looked at me fixedly, his gaze deep. I took a breath and said slowly, "There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved, it depends on what kind of mentality you have to solve it." ”
The old man looked at me seriously: "What do you think?" I bit my lip and said softly: "Giving up these glories, when the Yun family no longer holds the wealth that can affect the lifeblood of the country, there is no need to worry about becoming a pig fattened and slaughtered by the emperor all the time." ”
"Say it lightly!" The old man sneered, "Do you know what the Yun family's wealth means? No one would be willing to give up so much wealth. ”
"In my opinion, there is giving, there is gain." I sighed, "Money is always something outside of the body, what is the point of these riches if they no longer bring happiness to people, but instead invite disaster?" "To put it simply, even if you have lost your life, what do you need money for? I don't have to enjoy it.
"Do you know how many people rely on the Yun family to survive? Even if the Yun family gives up these wealth, dedicates it to the imperial court, and lets the imperial court handle the money, how many people will be jealous, how many people will compete for these management rights, and how many rights and wrongs will be born, this windfall will only add chaos to the imperial court, and what will be damaged at that time is the tens of millions of families who rely on the Yun family to survive......" The old man shook his head and said.
"If Grandpa is just worried about this, it may not be impossible to solve it." I listened to the old man's words, and I hurriedly said. The old man glanced at me and said noncommittally, "Let's hear it." ”
"To put it simply, it's a whole piece." I will think about the plan for a long time to say, "Divide the current Yun family's property to the deacons of the second room of the Yun family and the treasurers of various places, and disperse the overly concentrated wealth into scattered wealth, these deacons and shopkeepers have worked hard for the Yun family all their lives, and they should get some rich returns, and the property rights will be transferred to them, they will do their best, and it will not affect the ordinary people who rely on the Yun family to survive to make a living, and the Yun family will change from big wealth to small wealth, and will no longer become the trouble of the emperor's henchmen, and they can avoid unpredictable disasters." ”
The old man looked at me expressionlessly and said nothing. I looked at the old man nervously, wondering if he was secretly angry at me for being an obvious loser. After a while, the old man said, "How long have you been thinking about this method?" ”
I didn't dare to hide it from him, so I honestly said, "It's been a while." ”
"I'm going to think about it, you go out." The old man did not get angry, closed his eyes, leaned back on the chaise longue, and said softly.
I stood up and walked out of the room lightly.
