Chapter 294: The Emperor Is Old
Thinking of that day, the conversation with the emperor in the Wende Palace, Huang Qiong stood up. Habitually walked to the door and looked at the hazy sky. In my mind, I kept pondering Jian Yong's words. After a long time, he let out a sigh: "The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings." ”
"Lord, Yong thinks that what to do with the property of King Jing's Mansion, including land, you had better wait for the emperor's decree. With the wisdom of the emperor, how should this matter be handled. Although there will be some hesitation when the emperor comes, there will naturally be a certain number when the time comes. The British king, there is no need to worry. However, Yong currently has a strategy to solve the emperor's worries. ”
After that, he didn't ask Huang Qiong. I walked to the bookcase to grind the paper, groaned slightly, and began to write in the foreshadowing. After writing for a while, I picked up what I wrote and read it carefully, then nodded with satisfaction, blew dry and handed it to Huang Qiong.
After taking the things handed over by this guy, Huang Qiong looked at it carefully but shook his head and said: "Ridiculous, it's ridiculous, what do you think of your father and this king." Aren't you Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang? Could it be that you treat the entire clan in the world as fools who can be fooled at will? ”
It's just that in response to Huang Qiong's questioning, Jian Yong shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, don't you think that this hand of Ming Xiu Plank Road can solve the emperor's worries and fulfill your mind?" At this time, if the emperor rewards a few royal grandsons with something, it is easy to be seized by other clans. ”
"But if you, as an uncle, give your nephew some property, who can say what? Moreover, if the emperor does not issue a holy decree for a day, these lands cannot be returned to the people. The longer the time drags on, the more detrimental it will be to the imperial court. If people with ulterior motives instigate it, it is easy to cause a popular uprising. ”
"After all, those people who have lost their property and land are waiting for you, the King of England, to be able to rule for them. Even if the emperor does not take this opinion of yours, at least he can urge the emperor to make up his mind as soon as possible. It's not the same thing that the matter of Zhengzhou is always dragged on like this. Lord Wang, don't forget that you are the Zhengzhou disposal envoy. ”
"If anything goes wrong in Zhengzhou, you're the first to take the brunt of it. Lord, sometimes when it's time to be flexible, you need to be flexible. Whether it's a bright plank road or a dark Chen Cang, as long as it can solve the problem, it's a good way. What's more, it's not a conspiracy, it's just a circle. ”
Regarding Jian Yong's answer, Huang Qiong did not reply to him immediately. Instead, he turned his head and looked at him quietly, until Jian Yong's heart was a little hairy, and then he said: "You have nothing to do with the British King's Mansion, and this king is sure that today is the first time we have met, why are you working so hard to give advice to this king?" ”
"Do you know that if the emperor really plans to make an example of him and kill Zhengzhou officials, even this king will not be able to protect you. There are some things that even the king may not be able to do. If you want to save your life and come to the king, then you have made a mistake. ”
Hearing Huang Qiong's words, Jian Yong's original pride and ambition were swept away. After a long silence, he said faintly: "Lord Wang, since you asked, there is no need for Yong to hide anything." The reason why Yong helped you come up with an idea is certainly part of the reason for the people of Zhengzhou. What's more, Yong doesn't want to die. Yong wants to be an official, and he wants to be a big official. ”
"Yong's ambition is very big, and he wants to be a famous minister, not a loyal minister. It is easy to be a loyal minister, it is difficult to be a loyal minister, and it is true that being a loyal minister can be remembered through the ages, but after a hundred years, people will remember more about those famous ministers who assisted the Holy Lord to create a prosperous world. Everyone else remembers that Tang Taizong is the first emperor of the ages, but how many people can forget Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, such famous ministers as assistants? ”
"Yongweiguan does not ask Zhuge Wuhou to die for 500 years, so far the folk songs of the Liang and Han dynasties are martyred, and the temple and the sacrificers are there, and they love the people for so long. But he wants to become like Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, assist the saint, soothe the world, and create a prosperous world. The prince is not greedy for wealth and nobility, but how high he stands and how far he looks. Only when you achieve a high enough grade can you realize your ambitions. ”
"Lord Wang, dying generously can only fulfill the ego. Assisting the Holy Monarch to make the people of the world prosperous and healthy is the great self of the officials. And what Yong wants to do is to assist the Holy Monarch in creating a prosperous era like Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. Speaking of this, Jian Yong stopped the topic and turned his gaze to the King of England, who was looking outside the door again.
Hearing this guy pause, Huang Qiong didn't turn his head, but still looked at the sky, and said lightly: "Go on, since you have already said it, just say everything in your heart." This king is not the kind of person who is convicted for his words, and he will not kill for a few words. ”
Jian Yong looked at Huang Qiong's back for a long time before continuing: "Lord Wang, the emperor is old. Before Yong went to Zhengzhou Tongzhi, he once met the emperor when he went to Beijing to report on his work. Compared with the emperor Yong saw for the first time during the palace test in the first year of Mingde, Yong really felt that the emperor was old. ”
"Compared to the previous emperor who was decisive and determined. Today's emperor is more like a father who cares about his son. What King Jing did in Zhengzhou, Yong found that the emperor had known for a long time, but he had never done anything about it. Before Yong took office, the emperor repeatedly told Yong to advise King Jing to restrain his behavior and be good with his name, but he refused to even give a holy decree of reprimand. ”
"Today's emperor is no longer the high-spirited and energetic promising king of the past. Right now, he's thinking more about how to maintain the status quo. The people of the clan have their own reasons, but they are more inseparable from the emperor's indulgence. Although it is not a conscious indulgence, the unintentional cover-up is the reason why these clans are bold. ”
"Tianwei is unpredictable, why did the emperor do this, Yong has never guessed the reason. However, Yong thought that it might have something to do with the emperor's succession from the vassal king. There is another point, which is not unrelated to the killing of the clan by the king of Huaiyang County back then. After the Huaiyang Change, although the emperor said that he canonized some clans as compensation, the disposal of the Huaiyang County Palace seemed to be raised high, but in fact it fell gently. ”
"What the King of Huaiyang County did back then, according to common sense, it is not an exaggeration to exterminate the nine clans. But the emperor only pursued a few people who were really guilty of the most heinous crimes, and although the rest of the people were also exiled, they were actually exalted and lenient. It is the mausoleum of the king of Huaiyang County, and it is just to remove the things that have crossed the surface. Not to mention the destruction of bones and ashes, it is not even relocated. ”
"Perhaps the emperor's protection of the clan is to take a balancing act to appease the clan's dissatisfaction with his disposition. Lord Wang, the emperor is already old, and the ambitions of the year have been worn out by many years of career as a king. When all the monarchs are old, the mistakes they make have been shown in the emperor one by one. ”
"With the emperor's current state, Yong will not be able to realize his ambitions. Ke Yong reported on his work in Beijing for more than a month, and the actions of the kings in Beijing were no different from those of the clans that were already in the domain. In addition to intrigue all day long, it is a dog and horse, how can there be a little bit of the appearance of the Holy Lord? As for the prince, in Yong's eyes, he is just a dog's wisdom. ”
"On the contrary, since the prince left the palace, he first did not hesitate to offend the prince for the sake of the Zhengzhou homeless, and deposed Jing Zhaoyin, who bullied the homeless, out of the capital. Later, for the drought in Longyou and Shaanxi Second Road, he reprimanded the indefatious clans in the Wende Palace, and made a large amount of money and food to relieve the victims from the hands of those insatiable clans. ”
And the Xiao cavalry battalion did not commit any crimes in the autumn after entering Zhengzhou, so that the people of Zhengzhou not only avoided a huge disaster, but also avoided a military disaster. Yong knew that in addition to the strict military discipline of the Xiaocai Battalion itself, the ten killings order of the prince was the key. The prince does not need the pain of the people of Zhengzhou to rein in the hearts of the army, this is the real benevolent lord. ”
"Lord Wang, if you let Yong make suggestions and fight for the world for the prince, this is not Yongzhi's strength. But governing the place and making the people healthy and prosperous is Yong's strength. Yong is not good at conspiracy, but he has a lot of experience in yang conspiracy. To be a famous minister, not a loyal minister, this is what Yongzhen thinks. ”
However, if Yong wants to realize this burden, he also needs to meet a promising and ambitious Mingjun. If he encounters a faint lord like Han Huan, Emperor Ling, Emperor Yang of Sui, Emperor Yizong of Tang, and Emperor Xizong, Yong can only go to the palace of the king of Hades and be a famous minister for the lord of Hades. ”
Listening to this guy's eloquent talk, Huang Qiong took a lot of effort to suppress her brows and not wrinkle. This guy is openly telling himself that he is a typical utilitarian opportunist. Huang Qiong can be sure that if it is the Central Plains of Northern Liao herdsmen at present. As long as the Emperor of Northern Liao puts on a posture of pro-government and love for the people, this guy will immediately wag his tail and beg for mercy.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong immediately lost interest in talking. Turning around, he looked at his suggestion on the bookcase, shook his head and said, "You will put this piece of Chen here first, and this king will think about it carefully." You can now go back to your fellow yamen to reinstate, if you want to be a famous minister, you must be prepared to be a lonely minister. ”
Seeing the King of England reply like this, and knowing what he said before, I am afraid that this young prince, Jian Yong, who was a little unhappy in his heart, did not say anything. Just bowed deeply to Huang Qiong, then turned around and left the lobby. He wasn't worried that the British king would slaughter himself with a knife because of his previous words.
He knew that if this British king was so worthless, the emperor would not let him serve as the envoy of Zhengzhou. You know, at the moment, the princes are fighting like black-eyed chickens. The emperor wanted to protect his imperial grandson, and he would definitely not choose a narrow-minded person to take up this position. He believed in the emperor's vision, and even more so in his own vision.
However, although I have confidence in my vision. But after coming out, his whole body was still soaked with cold sweat. Rumors are rumors, after all, hearing is false, seeing is believing. The suspicious character inherited from the ancestors of the emperors of this dynasty may not be absent from this British king.
In fact, Jian Yong understood that he was betting on his own head to test the prince's stomach. If this prince thinks that he is giving advice to him, he is opportunistic and seeking a chance for himself to take the position, it is very likely that he will kill himself in the first place.
After all, there is no person in a position who likes to open and close his mouth to be a famous minister, so he almost didn't tell him bluntly that he would not be a loyal person. Such a person can be used by him today, and tomorrow he will be used by others. Rather than leaving yourself, a person who may take refuge in others at any time, it is better to slaughter yourself with a knife to save more trouble.
Fortunately, I still made the right bet, although the British king is young, he still has this belly, otherwise it would be really bad. Thinking of this, Jian Yong wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, shook his head and left. As for his article, the king will at least get a lot of benefits for him in front of the emperor. No, it's not a big deal.
