Chapter 302: The Courtier's Thoughts (1)
In response to Imperial Physician Guo's question, the emperor shook his head and said, "No, they just want to kill people." Some people don't want Ah Jiu's secret to fold into my hands, so this is a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry. According to Ah Jiumi's fold, he was worried that the messengers would be intercepted and killed halfway, so he once sent two groups of secret envoys. Wang Dalong and this son set off one after another, but Wang Dalong has not been seen so far. ”
"Wang Dalong was chosen by my side, and his character is still clear to me. Ah Jiu gave him such an important errand, if he only had one breath, he would climb back to the capital even if he climbed. It has been a few days since the letter was written, and Wang Dalong has not been seen yet, and I am afraid that something has happened to me. ”
After listening to the emperor's words, I remembered what I saw after dismantling the secret fold with the emperor, which was enough to make people tremble. Imperial Physician Guo was silent for a long time before he said: "Your Majesty, do you believe the words of the King of England?" Or do you think everything on the fold is real? ”
Imperial Physician Guo's words fell, and the emperor did not answer him immediately. was also silent for a long time, and then said faintly: "I don't want to believe it, but you don't dare not believe it." What is the nature of my son, and how is it that I don't know? Even if King Jing is tyrannical and shameless, his maid is the most filial. If there is no special reason, even if he is peeking on the throne, he will definitely not make trouble on the day of his mother's funeral. ”
"Sir, my mind is in turmoil right now. Ah Jiu did not explicitly say the identity of the person who held King Jing hostage to make trouble, but I also guessed it from the words of King Jing relayed by him above. Mr. probably doesn't know yet, King Rui, who was defeated and returned to Ruzhou yesterday, committed suicide by setting fire to the whole family in King Rui's mansion, and my third son is full of heirs. ”
And just before Ah Jiu arrived in Zhengzhou, King Jing's Mansion was attacked many times. If Ah Jiu hadn't taken precautions a long time ago, I'm afraid that the entire Jingwang Mansion would have been wiped out by now. That person is now busy killing people and killing people. It's just that he made a mistake, thinking that he was intercepting and killing the messenger here, and that side was killing King Jing's family, and no one really could find out what he did. ”
"Right now, King Rui committed suicide with his family, and King Jing has died. If King Jing's family is being destroyed, then there is really no proof of death. It's just a pity that he ended up making a mistake. If it weren't for Zhengzhou, I would have sent Ah Jiu to serve as this disposal envoy, and if anyone else went, I am afraid that he would have succeeded. ”
Imperial Physician Guo is such a smart person, when he heard the emperor mention the matter of Zhengzhou at this time, he had already guessed who the person on the secret fold was. It's just that this matter not only involves the only one left among the four concubines in the Middle Palace, but also involves the secrets of the Heavenly Family and the scandal of the sons seizing the heirs, and Imperial Physician Guo can't say anything for a while.
And seeing that Imperial Physician Guo was silent after listening to his words, the emperor sighed slightly in his heart: "Is it really cold from a high place?" The only one who is left, the best friend who can talk to him, doesn't dare or say he doesn't want to say the truth with himself right now? ”
Imperial Physician Guo didn't want to talk deeply about this issue, so the emperor couldn't force him too much. Then he changed the subject and said, "Old friend, I am a little uncertain today. I heard that the chrysanthemums in your yard are even blooming well. How about a later rest for old friends tonight and enjoy the flowers with me on a night trip? ”
Knowing that the emperor is definitely not in the mood to really appreciate the flowers at the moment, he invited himself to enjoy the chrysanthemums, but there are some things that he wants to talk to himself alone. The emperor has done this, and Imperial Doctor Guo, who doesn't want to spoil the emperor's interest too much, also smiled slightly: "Since the emperor has such a Yaxing, Weichen accompanies the emperor to enjoy himself." ”
Seeing Imperial Physician Guo nodding, the emperor didn't let anyone follow, not even Gao Wuyong, who had always rarely left his body. Only two people came to the small garden in the palace of Imperial Doctor Guo alone. Looking at the chrysanthemums in full bloom in the garden, the emperor sighed and said, "Don't old friends want to help me solve this dilemma in front of me?" Don't you want to tell me the truth? ”
Hearing this, Imperial Physician Guo could only smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, this dilemma has come to this day, and only you can solve it, and I'm afraid others can't really help you." You are the Son of Heaven and the father of the princes. As the saying goes, 'Knowing the son is better than the father', you are the person who knows the most about the character of the princes except for the queen of Daxing. ”
"Whether the words on the British King's secret fold are true or not, and who is the person behind the scenes, I am afraid you now have a general understanding in your heart. It's just that you still have a glimmer of hope in your heart, and you don't want to admit that it's true. The emperor once remembered that you once talked to your minister, and the king of England told you that the heavenly family has no selfish affairs. ”
Although this statement is somewhat straightforward, it does not make sense when you think about it. Every move of the Heavenly Family is not only a matter of the Heavenly Family, but also involves the safety of the community. Your Majesty, you are not only the father of the prince, but also the son of heaven and the king of a country. What you hold in your hands is not only the safety of the heavenly family, but also the safety of the world. ”
Although there is some muttering, the words are more tactful. But Imperial Physician Guo's words also showed some of his attitudes in disguise. After listening to Imperial Physician Guo's words, the emperor was silent for a long time and did not speak. After a long time, he let out a long sigh: "Why don't I know what you said?" But how many hardships have I experienced with the young couple in the middle palace so far? ”
"In the early years, when I was poor and destitute, she and Concubine Jing were the only ones by my side. Now Concubine Jing can't escape from the world, and she is also dying. She only has these four sons under her knees, and now that the two kings of Jing and Rui are gone, the prince is like that again, and now there is only this one son left. If I'm here? A hundred years later, where will there still be the face to face her? ”
"I also know that when the judgment continues, there will be trouble, but I really can't do it. Before Zhonggong Daxing, he had mentioned to me that the four sons she gave birth to were all tiger wolves. If one day something irreparable is done, I ask that for the sake of husband and wife, I can leave these four sons with one life. ”
Now that her bones are not cold, the two kings of Jing and Rui will follow her. The crown prince made me heartbroken, and now the king of Shu is like this. Every time I think of the queen's last words, it really hurts. Speaking of which, I think that now because the construction of the imperial mausoleum has not yet been completed, the coffin can only be temporarily placed in the queen in the temporary resting hall, and the emperor has a rare gaffe.
Seeing that the emperor was sad for Empress Daxing, Imperial Physician Guo also fell silent. The families of ordinary people are still fighting for property, and even assassinating each other, not to mention the children of the heavenly family? It's just that the common people are fighting for wealth, and the heavenly family is fighting for the power to rule the world. The sons of all dynasties competed for the throne, taking the world as a bet, and there were still fewer swords and soldiers who met each other at every turn?
After all, the emperor, who has been a monarch for many years and has long learned to control his emotions, has regained his stability in a short period of time. After a long time, he sighed, as if he was talking to Imperial Doctor Guo, and as if he was talking to himself: "Forget it, it is forgivable for heaven to do evil, but it is forgivable for self-inflicted evil, and you can't live." He does such things that are intolerable and contrary to human morality, and he himself cannot tolerate them. ”
"My old friend is right, I am not only a husband and father, but also the king of a country and the co-master of this world. For the sake of this society, for the sake of this great world. After I verify that what Ah Jiumi folded is not bad, I will definitely not spare him. Even if it is the underground grievance of the middle palace, I can't care about it. ”
Speaking of this, the emperor suddenly strengthened his tone: "I can't hand over this piece of society that my ancestors have fought a hundred battles to put in the hands of such a greedy person with the nature of a tiger and wolf. Even the slightest possibility is absolutely not allowed. The country left by the ancestors can only be lived by the virtuous. ”
Imperial Physician Guo was a little worried and said, "Your Majesty, you should also be careful. The minister looked at what the King of England said on the secret fold. This ** is widely distributed inside and outside the henchmen, and the information is extremely well-informed. Thoughtful and strange, acting can be described as a means of compromise. There are a large number of assassins and killers around you, and once the dog jumps off the wall, it will do something bad to you. You should also be on your guard. ”
"Rest assured, old friend, I know what I know. If this son really cares about humanity and even wants to do it, then he is really killing himself. Regarding Imperial Physician Guo's worries, the emperor, who had recovered his spirits, was not impressed. However, he immediately changed the topic and said: "Old friend, what do you think of what Ah Jiu did in Zhengzhou?" This matter does not involve the Heavenly Family, I want to hear your truth. ”
The emperor's inquiry, Imperial Physician Guo pondered for a moment and then said with a smile: "If the emperor asks the minister's heart, the minister thinks that the king of England has not done anything wrong. Since the emperor appointed King Ying as the envoy of Zhengzhou, he also granted the right to arbitrarily make decisions. As long as you do not take back the Crown's right to arbitrariness, the matter itself is within the purview of the Crown. ”
"The courtiers attacked the king of England only because the king did not go through the procedure of the three divisions of the triage this time. Your Majesty, the King of England has not been tried by the three divisions, so he will go on a killing spree and leave this matter aside for the time being. The thoughts of these courtiers to impeach the British king in this way must be savored. These courtiers had no more than four points in mind to impeach the British king. ”
"First, you appointed the king of Shu and the king of Ying to lead the army to quell the rebellion, which is the first time since the founding of this dynasty that Emperor Taizong was the crown prince and served as a supervisor to lead the army. At present, the kings are wantonly courting the courtiers, and the courtiers rarely do not take sides. But under your painstaking precautions, the military power has never been touched. ”
"If you want to win over one or two deputy envoys, it will be possible for the soldiers and horses. But whether it is the Xijing Left-behind Division, or the elite of the four battalions under the Dianqian Division, and even the crown prince, they can't touch it at all. And the importance of military power, the kings know better than anyone else. You entrusted the King of Shu and the King of England to lead the army to fight this time, how could the others not be blushing? ”
"The King of Shu has been out of the palace for a long time, and there are huge forces inside and outside the palace. It's the sister-in-law of the middle palace again, and those people don't dare to be too public. But the king of England is different, it has been less than a year since he left the palace, and you have to pay so much attention to it, how can other people not be jealous? Now that the king of England is killing in Zhengzhou, this knife handle has been sent to the door, how can they not catch it? ”
"Even if you can't bring down the British king, you have to stink in front of the world. In addition, you can also sell a good job to those civil officials and plan for the future. How could they miss such a win-win-win? The minister concluded that these men would mobilize their officials with all their might to attack the British king. Among those impeached officials, I am afraid that there may not be a few people who have such thoughts. ”
Second, there is indeed a heart for the public. Fearing that the British king's move would not only destroy the imperial court's customization, but also kill people at will for future generations to imitate, making the court law a decoration. There are these people, but the number of ministers is definitely not large. For most people, I am afraid that there is still the third thought, that is, forming a party for personal gain. ”
"The king of England killed their people, and did not even give them a chance to rescue, how could these people agree? Your Majesty, you are also well aware that officials in the DPRK and China have always had the habit of forming a party with the same year, fellow villagers, and teachers. Now that the king of England has killed their disciples and students, and has gone to one of their arms, how can those people be willing? ”
