Chapter Ninety-Nine
However, whether this thing can be done or not, the emperor has made a very wise choice, and did not ask Huang Qiong to do it. And the emperor didn't ask, Huang Qiong naturally wouldn't be bored with herself, and she was not happy to rush to find it. Both of them coincidentally chose to avoid this matter and the possible results.
Just when Huang Qiong thought that the matter had come to an end today, and was about to sneak away to her mother. The emperor took out two small boxes from a cabinet behind his imperial case, opened them with a personal key, and then took out a few copies of the folds and threw them to Huang Qiong and said: "This is a secret fold sent from Zhengzhou and Ruzhou, you can take a look at it first." ”
After receiving a few secret folds thrown by the emperor, Huang Qiong, who didn't know what the emperor was thinking about today, couldn't help but be a little stunned and said, "Father, this is a little inappropriate." These secret folds are not the right of the prince to see, isn't the son even less qualified? Besides, these secret folds are all about state affairs, and it is against the ancestral system for you to let your son see it. ”
"Don't be verbose, I'll just let you see what you see. I'm not dead yet, you're worried about. In giving me ink, carefully take your skin. "The emperor, who is not in a good mood today, obviously has no heart to accompany Huang Qiong here. Seeing that Huang Qiong was using the ancestral system to suppress himself again, he was very dissatisfied, and even said foul language.
After hearing his words, looking at the twists and turns in his hand that were shoehorned by himself, Huang Qiong was very embarrassed. The emperor really wanted to scold this man for always playing tricks with him, but in fact, his sophistication in handling things was always a little incompatible with his age. And always find something for himself, it's easy to stimulate his anger, and in the end he finds out that he is still the son who is led by the nose.
It's just that I suddenly remembered that last time, it was also in this imperial study, and the anger I made, but the emperor's desire to scold people suddenly disappeared. He couldn't figure out whether it was this son who always didn't accept his temptations, or other reasons, it was always so easy for him to throw the ancient precept of a gentleman not to be angry and arrogant out of the clouds.
Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. More than ten years ago, when I was fighting with this son's mother, I was always calm in front of others, and it was easy to get angry. As a result, after getting angry, he found that he was finally led by his ex-wife, who was also led by the nose.
Looking at the face in front of him, which was extremely similar to himself, the emperor couldn't help but raise a big question mark in his heart. Is this your fate? Will he always be a defeated subordinate of his ex-wife? No, at least in some aspects, such as squeezing out how much is in this son's head, he is still a winner at least for now.
In fact, some blindly confident emperors didn't know that Huang Qiong dared to be bold and play tricks in front of him, the king of a country. But he would never dare to play any tricks in front of his ex-wife. It had been ten years since his ex-wife knew how much was in his son's head.
The two of them just don't want to play with him. Far from knowing this, the emperor who no longer has much confidence in the face of his ex-wife. At this moment, when facing his son, he has great confidence. Because at least in his eyes, he is not only his king, but also his father. The son wanted to fight with Lao Tzu, but he was really a little tender.
Since this son is extremely talented in his chest, he doesn't squeeze out a little bit of what he is a father, and he is so angry that he has been angry with him again and again, and he is even more sorry for his mother's hard work for more than ten years, isn't it? Thinking of this, the emperor's face, which had been gloomy today, couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.
Seeing the corners of the emperor's mouth, the trace that suddenly appeared looked like a treacherous smile, and he also roughly felt out that he was the emperor, Huang Qiong, who had some personalities, immediately felt a chill down his spine, and immediately had a very bad premonition in his heart, he felt that this time it should be the emperor digging a hole for himself again.
remembered that the last time the emperor was also in this Wende Palace, he openly cheated. Huang Qiong, who dug a big hole for herself and forced herself to take the initiative to jump in, immediately decided that these few folds must not be watched. What are you kidding, the matter on the secret fold, if you report something as auspicious, the emperor can come in by himself today, and he has been gloomy with a face?
Huang Qiong, who decided to die and struggle, looked at the emperor in front of him, swallowed the saliva in his mouth and said: "Father, although the emperor has no jokes, this secret matter is very important, if the courtiers know about it, they will have to make a lot of right and wrong." The crown prince is the prince of the country, and he has the obligation to share the worries of his father. The son still thinks that it is better to bring the prince to consult with him. ”
The emperor, who was pondering, heard Huang Qiong mention the crown prince again, but he sneered disdainfully: "He has this kung fu there, go and help me deal with this matter." He has no spare time, and it's too late to win over these clans. Speaking of this, he glared at Huang Qiong and said, "You sit there for me to watch honestly, and don't play tricks on me." ”
I tried all kinds of reasons, but in the end I couldn't get rid of it. Seeing the emperor's gloomy face again, Huang Qiong, who was already quite poor in donkey skills, could only follow the emperor's wishes, open the two copies of the above and look at them carefully. It's just that these two twists and turns, the more he looks at them, the more frightened he becomes. What is written on this is even more serious than what the old men said.
Not only did the dense fold play, but the two kings scraped three feet of land in the fiefdom, and the two states, almost sixty percent of the land, became their own without folding means and clever purposes. In the two states, the expropriation was tyrannical and the general trend was to accumulate money, which triggered a large number of displaced people in the two states. He is also secretly building weapons and recruiting exiled private soldiers.
Thinking of Jia Quan's evaluation of the two kings, whether it is the intention behind King Duan or King Jing's move, Huang Qiong already knows it. It's just that Huang Qiong doesn't understand that these two kings are tyrannical in their fiefdoms, and the people can be said to be miserable. If you want to rebel at this time, can the common people support them?
Even if the people are coerced to join the army, what is the difference between such an army and a pile of sand? It's not good, their side has just started to rebel, and their own back will be chaotic first. Even if the emperor pardons the letter, if they don't get their rebels, they will fall apart directly. Even if some of the guards participated in the rebellion, would the already rotten guards still have combat effectiveness?
If the move of the two kings is really as judged by himself, then for the actions of the two kings, Huang Qiong really doesn't know how to describe it except for the word stupid. What's more, there are more than 100,000 troops inside and outside the capital of Daqi at present, and they are all elite divisions that rotate with the border army every five years.
And the military power has always been firmly grasped in the hands of the emperor. Not to mention the second king, even the crown prince may not be able to reach out. Even if these two kings are ruined, no matter how many exiled soldiers are recruited, even if they raise hundreds of thousands of troops at once. However, there were no qualified officers to command, and second, there was no good training. These rabble, where are the opponents of the division of a hundred battles?
If these two kings really rebelled against the idea, it can only be said to be stupid. It's just that these two kings are really so stupid? When Jia Quan commented on the princes, except for the nature of the tiger and wolf, there was no such thing as stupidity. If this is said, let alone the emperor who is his father, I am afraid that no one who has never seen these two kings will believe it.
Could it be that the two kings did this with ulterior motives and wanted to show something? Or is there something wrong with the secret fold itself? You must know that whether it is Zhengzhou or Ruzhou, it is not far from Jingzhao Mansion. No matter what kind of thoughts the emperor had in mind when he sealed the two kings to a distance close to the capital.
But if the two kings build a private army, it will be absolutely impossible to hide from the emperor's eyes. If you can't find out that there is a private soldier hidden in a place close to the capital, how can you, the emperor Laozi, sit on the throne for so many years? The key is that those north and south towns, this problem can't be found, isn't it a group of waste materials?
Is it possible for a secret agent agency to not even collect information related to the security of the capital? After closing these two copies, Huang Qiong understood why the previous emperor asked him if the king of Shu had privately discussed the prince in the secret room one day. After doing it for a long time, these two secret folds made the emperor not only suspicious of King Duan and King Jing.
Even the King of Shu, I'm afraid he is a little worried. Moreover, the king of Shu and the crown prince are in private, whether there is open and secret fighting, I am afraid that the emperor will also be cleared. Otherwise, the one who came to confront him today would not be himself but the King of Shu. It is estimated that at this time, the emperor Lao Tzu has already decided that these are all for the prince.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong realized that at this time, no matter what choice she made, she had already been swept into a whirlpool. And from the moment he left the palace, he was involved in this whirlpool of competition for the throne. Whether he takes the initiative or not, he has become a pawn for others to calculate others.
It's just that what is hidden in these two secret folds, Huang Qiong can't judge for a while. He could see that there was obviously a big problem with these two folds. The two kings did this in the fiefdom, and it was definitely not a matter of one or two days. And judging from these two secret folds, he, the emperor Lao Tzu, is by the side of the second king, or the fief also has eyeliner inserted.
But it didn't go early or late, but not long after he abducted the emperor to the homeless area, there were these two secret folds that were enough to break up the royal family. There are not many things in between. Huang Qiong knows very well what kind of consequences will be caused once these two folds are announced to the world.
Huang Qiong didn't reply immediately, but when the emperor over there saw him close the fold, he sighed: "The two good sons I gave birth to are really good sons." The tone in which he said this contained a myriad of desolation. It can be seen that the emperor is very sad at this time.
"These two people who wrote the secret fold should be killed." Huang Qiong did not comfort the emperor, who was very sad at this time. He knew that no matter what he said now, he would easily be thought to have ulterior motives by his suspicious old man. His identity is sensitive, and what he said at this time not only involved the open and secret struggle between the princes.
It's not even possible that it will be on the line, involving the grievances between the mother and the middle palace who is lying on the bed at this time and only has one breath left. Therefore, Huang Qiong feels that every time she says a word now, she must think twice before acting, and she must be cautious and cautious. Huang Qiong, who knew that he couldn't comfort the emperor now, felt that it was not a good way to divert the emperor's attention.
