"You are indeed a smart child." He sighed slightly, "But the mistake you made on Halloween was so obvious that I couldn't speak for you." Even if you want to get in touch with the Shen family, how can you leave a handle for others? That time, not only did our Zhao family's face make you and your mother lose everything, but my face made you lose everything! ”

"The son is guilty." The king of Chu fell to the ground.

The Emperor sighed, "Get up." It's all over, and I won't pursue it. ”

The king of Chu straightened his waist and said, "Father, if the son can atone for his crimes, I wonder if my father can consider the ownership of this throne again?" ”

The emperor looked at him: "How do you want to atone for your crimes?" ”

The king of Chu stood up and said: "Erchen has been living in seclusion recently, and he has been thinking about the court situation for a while, but he feels that there are two major forces in the court now, which makes people panic. One is the cabinet, and the other is the nobles who hold military power. Although the elders of the cabinet are strong, it is not too late, the time of their abdication is not far off, and as long as they wait a little longer, the senators will eventually be replaced by others.

"And these princes are not to be underestimated. The first emperor promised them that their military power could be passed down with the title, and such a supreme favor finally caused them to act recklessly without a king.

"First Han Ji and Gu Zhicheng teamed up to force the emperor to kill An Ninghou, and then the Dong family and Pang Ding started internal strife in the north, and in the palace, Han Ji completely ignored the faces of his sons and King Zheng and killed them all, and then on the Wanshou Festival, the Duke of Rongguo and Wei Guogong helped the Shen family to be unforgiving.

"Although there is something wrong with Erchen here, Erchen is the prince of Da Zhou after all. It's your son who is the emperor, even if they don't give face to their sons, how can they even ignore your face? Every one of these piles has people from their country's mansion, and they are blatantly despising the emperor's authority! ”

When the emperor heard him mention this, his chest gradually rose and fell.

The King of Chu continued: "Among these four families, the Han family and the Gu family are the most, and their disrespect for their father and emperor today will develop into contempt for the entire Great Zhou court in the future. They rely on the military power and old qualifications in their hands, whether it is King Zheng's throne or his sons and daughters in the future, they will become the tigers and wolves of the Great Zhou, if their father does not decisively get rid of them now. Do you not condone them to come and devour the Lord? ”

The Emperor took a deep breath. Walked down the Danqi with his hands, "The four national mansions with military power in their hands are indeed a big trouble for me. They have repeatedly set up me, forcing me to almost become a puppet emperor. Whether it's facing up or harem. Everything has to be plugged in. The first emperor did decentralize too much power at the beginning. ”

"So, if you want to keep my great circumference safe and secure, you must remove these obstacles!" The king of Chu followed behind him. Said.

"Easy to say." The emperor snorted slightly, "In the seventeen years since I ascended the throne, I have never relaxed my vigilance against the cabinet and nobles.

"I know better than you what you said, but the four families of Han Gu and Dong Xue are already together, and they have a close relationship with the elders of the cabinet. Although I am now the Son of Heaven who lives on the dragon chair, I am actually a marionette who has been jointly oppressed by the cabinet and the nobles, and it is tantamount to a fantasy for a puppet to want to uproot the four national mansions holding nearly 100,000 male soldiers! ”

"Why is my father so vain?" The king of Chu said sadly, "Erchen knows the hardships of his father and the emperor, and he can't replace him with his body." At present, even if the father and emperor chose King Zheng to hold incense and read the sacrifice, the sons and daughters have been favored by their fathers for so many years, even if there is nothing in the end, as long as they can share the worries and relieve the work of their father, and can return me to the great Zhou Qingtian, the sons and daughters will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire! ”

The emperor was not serious, but when he heard his words, he couldn't help but face it squarely, "Do you already have a clue?" ”

"Father is wise!"

King Chu raised his head and said: "Erchen recently heard that Hua Juncheng, his sister Hua Peiyi and his father Hua Zhenyang have had close contacts with Chen Wangfu. ”

"Hua family?"

The emperor pinched his beard and raised an eyebrow.

Hua Juncheng's "ineffective work" over the years is not that he is really ineffective, but that he is just nitpicking and deliberately doing so. However, the king of Chu would suddenly mention this person, and he was still interested in listening: "So what? Hua Juncheng is Shen Mi's brother-in-law, and Fang Fu married Shen Fu again, plus now there is a Han family, there is no evidence, and he can't be convicted just by not having it. ”

King Chu said: "It is precisely because the Hua family has been implicated in so many families because of the Shen family, that my father has never thought about what kind of changes will be made if the Hua family is involved in the Chen Wang case?" ”

The Emperor furrowed his eyebrows.

"Hua Juncheng is sitting on the wealth of the country, and Hua Zhenyang followed King Chen to join the rebel army back then, how can the relationship between them be so easy to disappear? If someone secretly starts an incident in the name of King Chen and pulls Hua Juncheng up, then the world will inevitably be in chaos! Even for this layer, the father should also take precautions and take down the Hua family preemptively!

"And when Hua Juncheng and King Chen are implicated, then not only can the Hua family be wiped out, but the property obtained can also fill the treasury, and at the same time, it can also deter the Shen family, the Han family and even the Fang family, no matter what, this is only good for my Zhao family and Da Zhou!"

The King of Chu looked at the emperor with blazing eyes, and his tense face seemed to be very resolute in punishing the Hua family.

The emperor stared at him for a moment, then squinted his eyes and looked out the window, "The Shen family can't move for the time being." Shen Mi is now used by me, and I also have to rely on the Shen family's position in the court to win over the world's scholars. If the Shen family also fell at this time, then even if the common people did not rebel, the pen in the hands of the people in the world would poke countless blood holes out of my back. What else are you talking about for my Zhao family? ”

The King of Chu paused slightly, and then said: "But if the Shen family doesn't move, how can the Han family be implicated?" If the Han family is not implicated, how can the military power in the hands of Wei Guogong be recovered? Taking advantage of the Hua family's incident, Erchen thought that the first thing was to achieve the goal of cutting off the Hua family's secret use against the imperial court, and then to take down the Han family's father and son by taking advantage of the in-law relationship between the Shen family and the Han family, and by the way, seize the military power in their hands!

"As long as you have the Chinese military camp in hand, won't my father's confidence be even stronger?"

"The Chinese military camp is full of the Han family's personal generals, if the Han family is held, won't the Chinese military camp force the palace to save people?!" The emperor reprimanded him, "You should also have some brains in doing things, don't take it for granted!" If this military power is so easy to seize, why do I need to wait for you to sue sù? ”

"But the more this is the case, the more the Han family can't stay, right?" The king of Chu caught up and said hurriedly: "As long as the father and emperor give the secret decree to the sons, and the sons and sons will be carefully deployed at that time, so that after the Han family's father and son are imprisoned, everyone in the world will have nothing to say, won't it be a success?" has always sought wealth and danger, and his father now has only one former military camp in his hands, as long as he can take the Han family, he can barely compete with Xungui.

"While the elders can still control the overall situation now, as long as things are done without traces and do not show their handles, the cabinet will not watch the world that has only been calmed down for a long time to renew disputes, they will definitely stop the rest of the Gu Dong and Xue families! And the military power in his father's hands has been strengthened, and the three families of Gu Dong and Xue will inevitably be a little soft even if they don't hand over the military power, won't the initiative fall into the hands of the father at that time? ”

The emperor looked at him deeply for a long time, and said: "Are you asking me to take advantage of the weakness of the patriarchs, and see that they will not let the world have another dispute, so as to take back the Han family's military power and balance the power?" ”

"Exactly!" King Chu nodded, "Erchen is also a good thing, using the Hua family as a raft to seize the military power of the Han family!" What does the father want to do with the Shen family, isn't that still your word? ”

The Emperor took a deep breath and paced with his hands in his hands.

The silver silk charcoal in the lavender cage was still ringing softly, and the sound fell in my ears, and my mood seemed to be even more chaotic.

Xungui and the cabinet are the two mountains that press on his heart, it is impossible for him to overturn the cabinet, he can only wait until they are old and then kill them, but they are not fools, they will inevitably do a good job for future generations before abdicating, in the end, he can't move the elders, and he doesn't want to fight with them.

But the four national mansions that pinched the military power were like a fish in their throats, which made people feel uneasy. Over the years, he has not been worried about the power of the princes, he does not have the great military exploits of the first emperor, he does not have the support of the people, he is the second ancestor, although he sits on the country, but he is a sandwich cake, on the one hand to deal with the cabinet nobles, on the other hand to balance the harem, this kind of day, he is really bored.

If the Hua family secretly remembers King Chen and colludes with King Chen's old ministry can be established, then there is no difficulty in involving the Han family through the Shen family, the difficulty is how to weave a plausible charge for the Han family, even if it is to frame them The Han family has collusion with King Chen's old department, there must be conclusive evidence, if the evidence is insufficient, then it must be himself who falls into the quagmire!

He took another breath and said, "This matter is a long-term consideration. Don't rush to decide. ”

"Father's ......"

"Alright." The emperor waved his hand, "I'm busy with the New Year's Eve right now, let's talk about this matter after the year." ”

As he was saying this, Cheng Wei suddenly bowed down and walked in: "Your Majesty, I just received the news that Gu Song of the Houjun Camp was recently promoted to the position of general by the Ministry of War, and an elite battalion of 300 people was added to his command a while ago, most of which are descendants of veterans who were killed and injured on the battlefield, and there are also a few sons of generals. ”

The Emperor paused.

"Father, look at it!" The King of Chu became excited, "How long has Gu Song only been in the camp, and he has begun to build his own elite battalion!" Didn't they treat the Chinese military camp as their own family! If this continues, the other three families will inevitably follow suit, and Han Ji already has a cavalry battalion of 500 people! Father-"

"Enough!"

The emperor stretched out his hand to stop him, and his gloomy face was silent for a moment, and said, "You go back first, and come to Xinuan Pavilion to see me tonight." ”

The king of Chu was shocked when he heard this, and immediately bowed down: "The son obeys the order!" (To be continued......)
