Huang Qiong thought that she had said enough, and with the emperor's shrewdness, she must have understood what she said. In fact, Huang Qiong understands better that he, the emperor Lao Tzu, who is resolute and decisive in killing, must have a certain plan in his heart about how to deal with the two kings at this time, but he has not yet made up his mind.

"Why did you stop? Keep going and say what you want to say today. Huang Qiong's words obviously moved the emperor. Especially the sentence that if the prince thinks so much in the future, the Great Qi will not be a country, which made the emperor fall into contemplation. It's just that Huang Qiong's words are half left, and the emperor has some departments.

"Has my father forgotten the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty? The two brothers repeatedly refused to enter Beijing under the edict, and privately recruited private soldiers, which was actually unharmed by the rebellion. If this is the case and the father can be pardoned, then what should the other clans think? Even some powerful feudal officials, or even the king of Guilin who lives alone, what should they think? ”

"Others naturally won't appreciate my father's deep friendship with Empress Daxing. What others saw was only because they were the sons of their father, so their father opened up to them. In this way, will it give other princes and even other clans a false impression that even if they really rebel, they will not be severely punished? ”

"Because they also have the blood of Emperor Taizu, and they are all descendants of Emperor Taizu. There is also the Guilin County Palace, which is the first hero of the founding of the country, and there are two emperors in the house, Taizu and Taizong, who are given even if they are guilty of rebellion, they will also be punished by the first-class Danshu iron coupon. ”

"Father, no matter the dynasties, as long as there is a throne, it is inevitable to fight for succession. If your descendants are all learned in the future, they will rebel if they can't take the position of prince. Anyway, if you win, you will be the world, once the power is in hand, the breeze is all over the world. If you lose, you will lose your freedom at most, and how many people will try this kind of thing? ”

"As the saying goes, a serious illness requires a strong doctor. Whatever one said, whatever their identity, this sign must be stopped. It is absolutely impossible to leave the brothers, as well as future generations, the idea that they have done something wrong, but as a royal descendant, they can not be punished or the punishment will be reduced. ”

Since the emperor repeatedly asked, Huang Qiong did not hesitate. Some things that the emperor still hid and tucked away, and he had always refused to say it clearly, Huang Qiong simply opened them directly. Although these things have long been semi-public. But before the emperor, he still had to cover his ears and steal the bell.

also knows that his emperor Laozi seems to be very deep on the surface, but he is actually very face-saving character. If it weren't for the emperor's repeated persecution, Huang Qiong would naturally not say it explicitly. But now that it has been opened, Huang Qiong has also come simply. However, after looking at the emperor's face, he said after a deep sigh: "Actually, the matter of my father has not really reached the point of no return. ”

Although the two brothers have repeatedly refused to obey the edict, after all, they have not openly rebelled at the moment, no matter what. The key is to look at themselves and what exactly they do next. If the father and emperor send a heavy minister at this time, he will go to the two brothers to show righteousness. Let the two brothers be able to rein in the precipice, dismiss the private soldiers and go to Beijing to plead guilty, and there will be room for relaxation. ”

"After all, if you don't obey the edict, privately recruiting private soldiers is just a violation of the law, and it has not yet reached the point of real rebellion. And if it really rebels, it is a great sin of rebellion. Disobeying the law and plotting rebellion, the son thinks that the two brothers can still be separated. If the two elder brothers still don't listen to the dissuasion and insist on continuing to rebel, the father can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. ”

After hearing Huang Qiong's words, the emperor stood up a little irritably, paced back and forth for a long time, and then sighed and said faintly: "What you said, how can I not know?" But now that the bones of Queen Daxing are not cold, how can I do it? When Empress Daxing was dying, she once told me that the four sons she gave up were all tiger and wolf nature, and sooner or later they would cause a big mess. ”

"She's here, these four sons may still be a little taboo, and they won't make any big moves. If she is really gone, these four sons may no longer be restrained. She hoped that I would spare the lives of these four sons, no matter how great their sins were. ”

"Now that Empress Daxing has only been dead for a few days, how can you let me? These two sons are disloyal and unfilial, and they do such a big rebellious thing, but I am a bogeyman. What you said also makes sense, if I really hold it high, I'm afraid that my great Qi will never be at peace. Okay, just do as you say, I hope these two sons can stop the precipice and repent. ”

"Otherwise, don't blame me for losing my words to Queen Daxing and not thinking about the relationship between father and son." Speaking of this, Huang Qiong, the emperor Lao Tzu, who has always had a resolute temperament, had tears faintly flashing in his eyes. Seeing the old man so sad, Huang Qiong didn't say much, so she could only sigh faintly in her heart.

Just looking at the emperor who was a little sad, Huang Qiong hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Father, it's just that my son doesn't understand something very well." The second brother and the third brother want to rebel, just for the position of the prince. But don't they know that the rebellion during the mother's funeral, even if it is a fluke success, is also a loss of the hearts of the people in the world. ”

"Even if they get a position, they can't sit still. Although there is a competition for the position of the prince, there have been dynasties and dynasties. But throughout history, this kind of rebellion against his father and brother, except for the former Tang Emperor Taizong, almost no one has achieved the throne. On the contrary, the one who has the last laugh is the one who is hidden in the dark. ”

"The second brother and the third brother are both well-read history books, and rebellion during the mother's funeral like this is even more self-stigmatizing than the son rebelling against the father. It can even be said that no matter whether their rebellion succeeds or not, it is those who really benefit from those who are indifferent bystanders. The pros and cons of the period, with the second brother and the third brother, how could they not think of it? ”

But why do they want to do such a rebellious or even thankless thing at this time? The second brother and the third brother were all taught by you. Are these two sons of yours really so stupid? There are also those two secret folds, the son always feels that it is not as simple as it seems, and there are many strange things. ”

"It's just that the key issue now is on the second and third brothers. As long as they can enter Beijing, these strange places will be solved. So if you want to find out the ins and outs of the matter, Father, it's up to you to decide. The son thought that this matter should not be delayed. If there is any other inside story about this matter, the son is worried about the safety of his two older brothers. ”

"Of course, if this matter is true, the two elder brothers are determined to rebel and really do such a rebellious thing. It is also self-inflicted, and it is not allowed to live. No matter what you do with the two, it has nothing to do with you, the father. My son thinks that even if Empress Daxing really knows underground, she will understand you. ”

Besides, the son heard that the second brother had three sons, and the third brother had two sons. The father and emperor have always paid attention to the dignity of the father, and he holds his grandson but not his son. Although the sins of the two brothers are unforgivable, you are not unforgivable? Speaking of this, Huang Qiong closed her mouth. Everyone is smart, and it's enough to talk to the point. If you continue to talk about it, you really talk too much.

Huang Qiong's last sentence, although it was not explained. But in his words, he had clearly told the old man that if the two kings were really determined to rebel, although you could not pardon them. But they could keep their sons, so that the two kings would not become extinct. This can be regarded as an explanation to Queen Daxing, and it can be regarded as the fulfillment of your father-son relationship.

In fact, Huang Qiong knew about the rebellion between King Jing and King Duan, whether they were voluntarily or coerced by some unknown factor. But now it's almost impossible to stop. The old man can say these words today, which means that the rebellion of the two kings is actually ready to fly. It's even possible, just for the next two days.

The old man sent someone to make a final dissuasion, but it was very likely that the second king, or some behind-the-scenes manipulator who was still lurking under the water, thought that the emperor was worried, and he still cared about the relationship between father and son, and would not do anything to them. In this way, it will strengthen their determination.

As for the second king, or the guy who manipulated everything behind the scenes, will this move be successful? At least Huang Qiong believes that there is hardly any chance of success. The two kings took advantage of their mother's funeral to start a rebellion, and they themselves used their sons against their fathers, which in the eyes of Confucianism itself was against human morality.

In this era of paying attention to loyalty, filial piety, and governing the country with filial piety, it is difficult for anyone to really dare to respond to the disapproval of the world. It can be said that the two kings have already lost morally and the hearts of the people before the fight has started. What's more, the two kings were tyrannical in the domain, and the people were already demoralized.

Except for a few henchmen, I'm afraid few people will be willing to serve them. Even some outlaws who paid a high price were vulnerable in front of the imperial army. Even if they bought the guards of the Erzhou Mansion, those thousands of guards were far from being opponents in front of the more than 100,000 troops inside and outside the capital.

As for the more young men who were coerced in by them, there were a few who were willing to serve them sincerely. The most important thing is that the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not on the same level. The garrison of the capital is not counted as the Eighth Army of the Imperial Forest, and there are 120,000 horse infantry troops in the four major battalions alone. In the face of the cavalry battalion in the direction of Zhengzhou, there are 30,000 elite divisions.

These 30,000 elite divisions are not comparable to those guards. They are all the elites of the hundred battles who are rotated back from the border army according to the custom. You must know that Daqi is currently in war with Northern Liao, as well as the Hui and Tubo tribes, although there is no major war. But small-scale conflicts occur almost every year.

In particular, the northern border army had to fight with the Northern Liao cavalry that went south to fight the grass valley every autumn. Although the soldiers of the four battalions cannot be said to be the remnants of a hundred battles, most of them are veterans who have been on the battlefield. The combat effectiveness can be compared with those rabble under the two kings.

Judging from Huang Qiong's pitiful military vision, whether it is the people's will, morale, or the comparison of the military strength of the two sides, the two kings or the main messenger behind all this, there is no hope of success in this rebellion. It can be said that before the fight started, they were already lost.

It's just that Huang Qiong doesn't understand that she can see through this, can't her two brothers, or the main messenger behind the scenes, see it? Do they know that they have lost this rebellion, but they still have to make a foolish desperate bet? But no matter what the reason, there is one thing Huang Qiong believes that her two brothers are definitely not straw bales.

can be with the prince who is the prince of a country, at least some of the most hardcore henchmen, who has not been able to defeat in the open and secret battles for so many years, and even repeatedly squeezed the prince out of such a stupid trick, how can he be a straw bag? But why do they do it when they know they are failing?
