Chapter 205: The old man is very shrewd

Seeing the submissive crown prince and the kings, the emperor uttered something that completely stunned them: "Good, good, good, you are all good sons of mine." It seems that brotherhood is nothing in your eyes. Far less important than power. No wonder they all say that there is no family affection in heaven, and now I really understand it. ”

After saying this, the emperor did not look at the expressions of the other kings, but stood up and walked in front of the crown prince, and said coldly: "King Jing and Duan, you are not only a monarch and a minister, but also a mother's compatriot. Although they have done such a rebellious thing, they are your own siblings after all. ”

"When such a thing happened, you, as an elder brother, not only did not intercede for him, but also did not ask me to thoroughly investigate the cause of the rebellion of the two kings. On the contrary, it is here that a hard fall is a stone. Now you have to kill them yourself, you are really their good brothers. Even if a courtier makes a mistake, he must be thoroughly investigated, and now that your two siblings have such a thing, you don't even ask. ”

"The ancients also knew that if you don't teach, you will be punished with many punishments and evil will not be overcome; If you teach and punish, you will not punish the traitors. As their monarch and their eldest brother, you are not even as good as the ancients. Their books over the years have been read into the dog's belly. I read your books over the years, and I have also read into the belly of a dog. ”

"Let the lust for power fascinate your mind, and you don't even have the most basic human ethics. How can you be worthy of your mother, who has just passed away and has not yet been buried in the earth? The word traitor is also something that you, as a brother, can say? On weekdays, you are afraid of what I tell you, and although I am annoyed, I don't blame you too much. ”

"You carried me behind your back, privately connived at the corruption of the officials under your sect, indulged the people of the clan, and amassed money for your own use, and I didn't say anything about you. It's because I, the unqualified father, failed to educate my son well, that brought you to this point. ”

"But I ask myself, although I have been disciplining you over the years, there have indeed been deficiencies and negligence. But on weekdays, I didn't put a lot of effort into you, but how to teach you this bastard thing. Not only does he only have power and money in his eyes, but he can't even care about people now. I don't want to see you now, so now you go to your mother's spirit and kneel. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor pointed to the rest of the princes who had just called the most cheerful: "And you, a group of pigs and dogs are not as good as things, don't think that I really don't know, what little calculations do you have in your hearts." I still know your dirty thoughts. Now you all go back to me and copy Chen Siwang's "Seven-Step Poem" for me a hundred times. ”

"Father, when you say that, the sons are really a little unconvinced. The two kings of Jing and Duan are now clearly exposed. Erchen and several brothers are bent on sharing their father's worries, what is the fault of this, in exchange for such a scolding from his father? If the two kings do not punish, where is the law of the country and the principles of heaven? ”

"It is true that the two kings and their sons are brothers, but the sons and daughters cannot let them commit rebellion because they are the brothers of the sons. If the sons and daughters are the brothers of the sons and daughters, they act for the tiger and tolerate the adulterers, what face will they have to face the people of the world? Facing my ancestors and ancestors? ”

Although the emperor exposed the old bottom, it was a huge blow to the prince. But what he knows better is that no matter what the emperor says, there is no way out for him now. Therefore, this prince can be regarded as stubborn to the end. It's just that this time he is much smarter, and he knows how many younger brothers he has dragged.

The crown prince's confrontation made the emperor even more angry: "Okay, you don't understand, do you?" Then go and kneel before the spirit of your mother, and when you have figured it out, when you will get up again. Now you all give me the fuck off, when you read the "Seven Steps Poem" clearly, and when you will come back to see me. ”

I was really angry when I saw the emperor, after all, I grew up under the emperor's authority. was stormed by the emperor, and the kings did not dare to refute in any way, and ran out of the Wende Hall with a roll. What kind of joke, the prince was reprimanded by the emperor and punished to kneel, where do they dare to follow the prince's example to talk back?

Out of the Wende Palace, King Yong, who was also frightened by the emperor's lightning and thunder today, was sweating profusely. dragged Huang Qiong to a corner where no one was around, raised his sleeves to wipe the cold sweat on his head, patted his chest again, and said, "I said Lao Jiu, thanks to you this time." Otherwise, your seventh brother and I will either be punished for kneeling, or go back to copy books. ”

"Grandma's, did you kid already know that this would be the result? I've heard that on the day Queen Daxing died, you were talking alone with the old man at the main gate of Li for a long time. We princes, including the crown prince, have not yet enjoyed this kind of treatment. ”

"What kind of trick did you kid use to make our somewhat harsh emperor Lao Tzu look at it differently in such a short period of time? I said, can you kid not be so sharp and make others red-eyed. I know you're a master and don't care about this, but after all, it's hard to be a wolf with both hands, isn't it? ”

Yongwang's words were half doubtful and half flattering, Huang Qiong just smiled slightly and said, "How can I have that ability?" I'm just making a deduction from human nature. Although the second brother and the third brother have revealed their objections, after all, they are the same as you and me, and they are the old man's biological flesh and blood. What kind of father in this world would want his son to come to such a point? ”

"As a last resort, the old man will not really make the determination to get rid of them. Especially now that Queen Daxing, the bones are not yet cold. And the biggest mistake the prince made this time was that no matter what the old man decided, it was the old man's own business. It shouldn't be brought up by him, who is a brother or even a prince. ”

"The old man is familiar with history books, and the precedent of killing each other in order to compete for the throne between the princes of previous dynasties is very clear. What he was most worried about before was that the princes were killing each other. Do you really think that the old man is willing to see us brothers and do those things that kill each other? ”

"Even if the prince is right, but saying this is the biggest taboo that the old man has always had. Think about it, in the past few years, King Jing and King Duan have co-opted ministers in the court to oppose the prince everywhere, restrain the prince everywhere, and compete with the prince for power. Although they are compatriots of the same mother, they have deep grudges against each other, and they are almost no different from enemies. ”

"Now that there is a chance to get rid of them completely, these two are not so much brothers, but rather opponents are more appropriate enemies, where can the prince endure it? The crown prince invited himself to lead the troops to exterminate the two kings, and there was nothing wrong with this approach. But his mistake was that he was wrong, he clearly wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots of the two kings, how could the old man endure this? ”

"Even if the second king really rebels, it is the son of the old man, and only the old man has the right to dispose of it. The prince is acting as a substitute, which is to stab the old man in the most painful place. Especially now, when the cause of the death of the three kings is still unknown, and the old man will never allow a similar situation to happen again. ”

"Besides, although the old man is very angry about the matter of the two kings today, he must have already had a countermeasure in his heart with the shrewdness of our father. The two kings were tyrannical in their fiefdoms, recruiting private soldiers, and building weapons, and it was not a matter of a day or two. The old man who has the North and South Zhenfu Division in his hands, how can he really not know anything about it? ”

"It dragged on to this day, and it is still related to the illness of Queen Daxing. The old man was afraid that this matter would be opened too early, and Queen Daxing couldn't close her eyes when she left. In fact, when the old man summoned the two kings to Beijing to serve the sick, he was already warning the two kings. It is estimated that when the second king arrives in Beijing, he will be directly detained. It is precisely because of this that the two kings openly resisted the decree twice. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Qiong looked at King Yong, who was stunned after listening to his analysis. Unable to tell him the true inside story, he could only sigh and say, "Since the old man already has a fixed number, why should we get involved." Asking yourself for those boring? Seventh brother, the old man is much more shrewd than you and I think. Don't forget, how he secured the throne in the first place. ”

"You kid really has a set, this thoughtful among our brothers, I'm afraid none of them can catch up. Although the King of Shu does not seem to be inferior to you, I always feel that his spirituality in some things is too far behind that of your kid. With this quickness alone, he is far inferior to you. ”

"I said at the beginning, you kid is not a simple character, and it is true when I see it today. You can be regarded as having thoroughly touched the old man's thoughts. Those crooked intestines in your belly, your seventh brother and I are far inferior. I'm glad I didn't play with you, otherwise I wouldn't have known how I would have died. After listening to Huang Qiong's analysis, I was dumbfounded for a long time, and King Yong came to say this.

Regarding King Yong's praise, Huang Qiong just smiled faintly: "Seventh brother, are you really that kind of stupid person?" From what the younger brother can see, the seventh brother's feelings in those things are far greater than that of the prince. It's just that the current Seventh Brother is a little confused. Alright, it's time for us to get over too. Otherwise, after staying for a long time, some people think that we are here to discuss some dirty things. ”

In Huang Qiong's opinion, although this seventh brother is not too scheming, he is not too scored. At least among the princes, his scheming is more than most people, at least in the middle and upper ranks. Not to mention King Shen, King Song, who was arrogant and arrogant by his own mother, is even the crown prince.

Just as the two of them were about to leave, Gao Wuyong, who was sweating profusely, suddenly appeared in front of them. made a sign and said to Huang Qiong: "Your Royal Highness, it turns out that you and King Yong are here, so that the servants can be easy to find." The emperor has decreed that you will go to Wende Hall to meet the monarch immediately. ”

Hearing that the emperor summoned him, although he knew something in his heart, Huang Qiong, who was still somewhat reluctant, could only stubbornly follow Gao Wuyong towards the Wende Hall that had just left not long under the eyes of King Yong. Someone else just took a beating, and he was recalled at this time, isn't this obviously giving eye medicine to others?

It's just that the emperor summoned him, and Huang Qiong couldn't help but go. Hard-headed, he returned to the Wende Palace, which had just left, but saw the emperor who was struggling to write, and he didn't care about himself at all. It was not until he knelt on the ground for half an hour that the emperor stopped his pen, dried what he had written, and used the seal with his own hands before he stepped down.

When passing by Huang Qiong's side, he didn't look at Huang Qiong who was kneeling at all. Before walking to the main entrance of the Wende Palace, he looked at several palaces around the Wende Palace, and he didn't speak. It wasn't until Huang Qiong's kneeling knees were numb that he spoke: "Get up, you want something on the imperial case, go get it yourself." There are also a few secret folds about Zhengzhou, you can take them back and read them yourself. ”

"After I went back and read those folds, I just destroyed them, and I didn't have to take them back. You can count the contents in your own mind. Remember what you promised, and don't always try to play tricks with me. The reason why I made you kneel for half an hour was to calm your head and understand what you should do. ”
