Chapter 977: Temptation

The emperor was in poor health, and he didn't see any outsiders for several days, which caused a lot of attention and speculation, and made some people nervous, there were ministers, princes and princes, they all wanted to find out what was going on with the emperor, and he felt unwell, so he wouldn't see the prince and ministers! When the prince went to ask for peace, what could be the problem when he met, why was he not there? This has to be cranky.

It is said that the Son of Heaven is different from ordinary people, it is really different, the Son of Heaven sneezes casually, and the people below attach great importance to it, just like the Dragon King sneeze casually, the world is a heavy rain.

Because of the housekeeper's reminder, Yang Guozhong thought that the emperor had some hidden disease, and hurriedly went to Mrs. Qiuguo's house, but halfway through, he felt that something was wrong, and the hidden illness would not be written on his face, what does this have to do with the emperor seeing the prince and the minister, could it be that when he sees the minister and the prince, he can expose his hidden disease, how is this possible.

However, since it is already halfway there, there is no need to turn back, what if the emperor is really in a bad mood because of a hidden illness and is unwilling to see people? Everything is possible, you won't suffer a loss anyway, there are many beauties in the mansion, but Yang Yurou also has a different taste, and the commotion makes him miss it very much.

In the courtyard of the palace, the crown prince Li Heng was also very nervous, he couldn't understand, since his father was not seriously ill, why did he refuse to see people? Could it be that some kind of disease made his face appear and it was inconvenient to see people, but what kind of disease would cause a person's facial problems?

Seeing the prince walking around anxiously, Li Fuguo stepped forward, lowered his head and asked, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if you have any worries, you might as well tell the old slave that the old slave is loyal to you." ”

The crown prince was irritable, and when he saw Li Fuguo coming out, he frowned and asked: "My father is sick, and he doesn't even see me or the minister, what is this for!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, between the old slaves, Your Majesty has nothing to do, I'm afraid that he is deliberately testing everyone."

Li Fuguo said.

"How do you know?"

The prince asked with a frown.

Li Fuguo lightly raised a finger and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the first thing, there is no movement in the military camp in the capital, the officers are still the original officers, the soldiers should do what they should do, and there is any intention of transferring troops and taking precautions, if Your Majesty is seriously ill, it is impossible for the army to be without action." ”

After a pause, Li Fuguo raised his second finger and continued: "Second, the old slave has found a strange face in the other courtyard since yesterday, although there are many palace maids and eunuchs in the other courtyard, but the old slave has seen it, as long as a new person comes, the old slave will definitely be able to recognize it at a glance, Your Majesty has just been sick, and there are strangers in the other courtyard, this should not be a coincidence!" ”

When the prince heard this, he suddenly opened his mouth, and felt that what Li Fuguo said was very reasonable, isn't this just a temptation.

Li Fuguo raised his third finger and continued: "Third, Your Majesty doesn't see anyone, this is obviously unreasonable, if Your Majesty is really seriously ill, he should also summon important ministers to entrust important matters, how can no one be seen?" ”

The crown prince frowned, patted Li Fuguo's shoulder, and said with appreciation: "Li Fuguo, what you said is so right, it seems that this is the case, my father is testing our loyalty, after so many years, is my father still not at ease, what is he worried about, can we still escape from his palm." ”

"Prince, people will always be suspicious, Your Majesty is old, the most worrying thing is that someone has bad intentions, this is understandable, since ancient times, royal affairs are not easy to say, the prince should understand."

Li Fuguo said with a smile.

The crown prince and Li Fuguo looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Yes! Who can tell the royal story clearly? You were sent by your father to spy on me, but you betrayed your father, but it seems that your father doesn't trust you anymore, otherwise, why send a strange face over? ”

"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true, however, His Majesty should also know in his heart that sooner or later he will pass on the throne to the crown prince, and it is natural for the old slave to be loyal to the prince."

Li Fuguo replied with a smile.

In fact, he didn't see the so-called strange faces at all, but he made them up, in order to make the prince more convinced that the emperor was testing him, so as to deal with it carefully, as for why he knew so clearly, it was because he had been in the palace for a long time, and he had become a human spirit, and adding an extra unfamiliar face could make the prince believe what he said more.

And why he chose to assist the prince wholeheartedly, naturally because the prince is the most promising to inherit the throne, and as long as the prince ascends the throne as the emperor, his credit must be great.

And in the eyes of the current emperor, he is just a dispensable eunuch, his status in the eunuch is not enough, and even, many officials in the court may not have heard of his name, and the common people do not know his existence, for an ambitious person, this is unbearable, and the person who can change his fate is only the current prince, so he must hug the prince's thigh tightly and do his best to help the prince ascend to the emperor's throne, and then, He will be able to realize his life ideals.

Although he is a eunuch, a person with a physical disability, this does not prevent him from being ambitious, a person with a physical disability may also have a defective heart, but this does not affect a person's ambition at all, since ancient times, there are too many ambitious eunuchs.

After all, the meaning of life is happiness and comfort, and when a person cannot get satisfaction in one aspect, he will choose to get pleasure in other aspects.

For example, a person with poor academic performance does not like to compare grades with others very much, and he will choose to fight with others, so as long as the student with good academic performance is beaten, his heart will suddenly be much more comfortable, and he will not be beaten if he studies well.

In other words, people always like to compete with what they are good at, so as to make themselves proud, make themselves happy, and make their lives more meaningful.

Of course, there are some people, after trying various lifestyles that make them happy, gradually get tired of these lifestyles, and can no longer feel happy, just like eating meat makes people happy, but if you eat meat every day, you will soon get hurt, and then, you will never feel the joy of eating meat again.

And when a person loses interest in all the things he can get, then his life will become very decadent, eating meat and drinking wine is boring, playing games is boring, traveling and seeing the scenery is boring, everything makes a person feel boring, so living in a meaningless world, so what's the point, so, in order to make themselves feel that their lives are interesting, many people will do something that can stimulate themselves, such as eating something poisonous, stealing other people's spouses, etc.

As a physiologically defective eunuch, in terms of men and women, there will definitely be no interest, and when they become adults, their desire for food will be greatly reduced, so that the most interesting thing for them is naturally the desire for power, only this can bring them great happiness, make them feel that they live a worthwhile life, live a wonderful life, and it is something they can do, after all, eunuchs are people in the palace, and they can contact the most powerful people in an empire, The possibility of becoming a henchman of the Lord of the Empire is greatly increased.

Li Fuguo is an ugly-looking eunuch with a crippled body, except for power, nothing can make him feel satisfied, and the premise of having power is to hug the thigh of the crown prince Li Heng tightly and assist Li Heng to ascend the throne, and then he can gain power, and finally become a character who can call the wind and rain step by step.

Li Fuguo in history is indeed such a person, after helping Li Heng ascend to the throne of God, he almost monopolized the imperial power, and set the emperor up step by step, and even, arrogantly told the emperor that it would be okay to let the emperor enjoy it, he could help the emperor govern the world well, which was simply a big rebellion, and finally angered the emperor and ended up dead.

The crown prince believed Li Fuguo's words, and did not take emergency measures to summon his confidants and ministers, otherwise, it is very likely to arouse the emperor's suspicion and bring a certain impact to his position as the crown prince, after all, this emperor is not kind, he once killed his three sons with his own hands, and robbed a daughter-in-law, to be the son of such a strong emperor, he must learn to taoguang and learn to be honest and obedient, as long as he does not disobey the emperor's wishes, then the emperor will never abolish him.

In the eyes of Li Longji, the emperor, a filial and obedient prince will always satisfy him more than a capable prince, he will never need a prince who is too capable, all he needs is an obedient and filial prince, who can be a prince with peace of mind and never be in a hurry to be an emperor, which will satisfy him.

The crown prince has the assistance of Li Fuguo, and the rest of the princes who covet the position of the prince naturally have confidants, and even, they can even get the support of some court ministers, which is also the result of the emperor's lack of support for the prince, some courtiers are not optimistic about the prince, so they choose to quietly attach themselves to the prince with more potential, and even, some ministers have started to do the wall grass, a few bets, in front of the prince to express loyalty at the same time, but also to the rest of the princes to express loyalty, so, no matter which prince finally obtains the throne, He can mix well.

However, the risk of betting on several heads is very great, once this behavior is exposed, it will offend many parties, such as some scumbags in later generations, after coaxing a girl with sweet words, and then use the same method to coax other women, when many people get together, this behavior will be exposed, so that this person will also be discredited.

But some ministers are courting in many ways, but they are not willing to be confidants of either party, so they can be at ease without worrying about who will liquidate them.

Tan Wang Li Brown, Yongwang Li Xuan, these princes, have recently had some small actions, for example, the frequency of leaving the Ten Princes' Mansion has increased significantly, some go out to the outing, some go to the temple to pray for their father's blessing, and some go to the restaurant outside to eat, in short, the frequency of going out has suddenly increased, which is very doubtful, and all their behaviors are under monitoring.

"Eighth sister, I haven't seen you for a long time, have you been busy lately?"

Yang Guozhong went to Mrs. Yuguo's mansion, he didn't need to be informed, he just went in, everyone in the mansion knew him, and he wouldn't stop him at all, and he would greet him warmly.

Yang Yurou had just come back from the workshop, and was resting on the rocking chair tiredly, when she heard her cousin's voice, her brows furrowed slightly, and she ignored it at all.

"Oops! Who's messing with my sister! ”

Yang Guozhong has done a lot of work, but he has not lost his ability to please sycophants, especially in pleasing women, he is definitely handy and an expert.

"My brother hasn't come for so long, I thought he forgot about us?"

Yang Yurou didn't get up, and glanced at Yang Guozhong contemptuously.

"Hey, hey, how can this be? My brother has been too busy lately, so he didn't take the time to come to see you, isn't he? ”

Yang Guozhong saw that Yang Yurou was tired, so he hurriedly stepped forward, squatted and massaged his calves, and moved his fingers up little by little, his expression was full of flattery.

"Oh, my two legs! It's almost not my own, and I've been exhausted to death these days. ”

Yang Yurou complained while enjoying it.

"Yes! What has my sister been busy with lately? I haven't been to the palace for a few days. ”

Yang Guozhong asked.

"Isn't it the perfume workshop, I thought it should be very simple, who knew there would be so many things, it was really tormenting me, both legs were going to be broken."

When Yang Yurou mentioned the perfume workshop, it was just one word, she was too tired.

"The things in the workshop can be left to the people below to do, not everything needs to be done by yourself, these are small things."

Yang Guozhong opened his mouth to persuade.

"After the operation is mature, it can naturally be handed over to the people below, but now it has just started construction, many things, the people below can't make up their minds, the most annoying thing is that someone temporarily increased the price, said that the price of good wood suddenly rose by three percent, dare to lie to my aunt and grandmother."

Yang Yurou is angry, running any business is tiring, there are a lot of things involved, and it is very fragmented, very annoying, even if you survive the previous period of time, you will encounter all kinds of problems later, which can not be easily solved, and the bitterness of this is only clear to those who have run a workshop.
