Chapter 131: Be careful
After seeing Huang Qiong return to the study, he sat there in a daze and did not speak. Jia Quan, who vaguely guessed what he was worried about, smiled and said, "Lord Wang, are you worried about Concubine Jing?" I thought that the prince was too worried. Since the emperor said it in front of the prince today, it means that the emperor has not found out anything. ”
"Since the emperor didn't find out anything, why should the prince worry? What's more, Quan thought that the appearance of this rumor at this time was not entirely a bad thing for the prince. In fact, whether this rumor is true or not does not matter to the prince. The key problem is that the timing of this rumor is very favorable to the prince. ”
"The prince just had a conflict with Jing Zhaoyin a few days ago, and this rumor immediately appeared in the palace. Who released this rumor, the emperor still knows in his heart. In fact, the emperor came to the Hejian County Mansion today, and it is estimated that the main purpose was because of this rumor. As for visiting Liu Hu, and that Tiao Chen, it was just by the way. ”
"The emperor came to the palace today to make a gesture for the prince and even other princes. And Quan judged that the emperor was going to do something to Jing Zhaoyin. Coming uninvited today is a disguised warning to the prince. The emperor is protecting you in disguise, so that the prince has some scruples when he takes certain measures in private. ”
"So Lord Wang, at this time, you don't have to worry about whether those rumors will play any role in the emperor's place. The little tricks that the prince did at this time that couldn't be put on the table must only be counterproductive. On the contrary, it made the emperor wary of him in his heart. As for Concubine Jing, do you think that with Concubine Jing's ability, this little trick can bring her any danger? ”
Regarding Jia Quan's judgment, Huang Qiong pondered for a moment and said: "You have also thought about these kings you said, and the others are also very reasonable. However, if you want to say that the emperor is going to do something to Jing Zhaoyin, I'm afraid it's still slightly worse. Even if the father doesn't look at the face of the crown prince, don't forget that there is a Wuchang Hou behind that Jing Zhaoyin. ”
"At this time, the prince will not come out to speak for that Jing Zhaoyin. If he is not stupid to get home, he will also know that if he comes forward at this time, not only will he not be able to protect that Jing Zhaoyin, but it will only make things backfire. But that Wu Changhou came forward, I'm afraid it will be different. This kind of old minister, in terms of the character of his father, will give some face. ”
"Especially now, when my father least wants any turmoil in the court and still needs to rely on these old ministers. This king thought that his father would give that Jing Zhaoyin some warnings, and even cut off some of his real power, but the removal was not necessarily. But for others, this may not be the case. Those of his sworn friends in Jingzhao Mansion, it is estimated that his father may not let it go this time. ”
Regarding Huang Qiong's judgment, Jia Quan shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, I don't know if you listened carefully to the conversation between the emperor and Liu Hu?" Whether this Jingzhao Yin is greedy or the party is attached to the prince, it is not a big deal in the emperor's heart. At present, in this Great Qi Dynasty, are there any officials who are not greedy? If they are all dealt with, I am afraid that there will not be a few officials left in this Great Qi Dynasty. ”
"But this guy has committed a little bit of a crime against the emperor, no, it should be said that it is a taboo for a courtier. Quan remembered that the prince once said that the last time the prince and the emperor went to the exile area, the emperor once gave Jingzhao Mansion a message. The Jingzhao Prefecture was strictly ordered not to levy any harsh taxes on the homeless. ”
But this guy turned a deaf ear, and not only did he not have any restraint, but he also collected any pension money from the homeless. To put it mildly, this is greed. To put it mildly, this is contempt for the Holy Decree and contempt for the Father. And this is exactly what the emperor absolutely cannot allow. Even if this guy has a hard backstage and a deep background, what can he do? ”
"This Great Qi Dynasty, after all, is still the emperor's world. The emperor is determined to move him, who can keep him? It is useless to be the father of Wuchanghou in other places, even the crown prince. What's more, judging by the power, I'm afraid that the first person to shrink his head after the incident is our prince. ”
"And it is said that the emperor wants to move Jing Zhaoyin, and the disrespect for the decree is only one aspect, and the other aspect is related to the prince. Everyone knows that this Jing Zhaoyin is a hardcore prince's descendant. He tried his best, even at the expense of scraping meat from mosquito legs, where did he go to make so much money? Do you think the emperor really won't investigate this matter? ”
In fact, even a fool can guess that at least seventy percent of the money he made went into the prince's pocket. But what does the prince want so much money for? He is the prince of a country, and the whole world will be his, what is the use of the money he wants? Lord, the emperor has always boasted of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Although the emperor's actions are too far worse than Tang Taizong back then. But the changes in the Xuanwu Gate of Tang Taizong back then, I am afraid that the emperor also remembered it very well. What was the confidence of Tang Taizong to dare to launch the Xuanwumen Rebellion? Isn't it just those teams that he brought out by relying on his years of fighting? This point, the emperor, who has read history books, will not fail to understand. ”
"In addition, Emperor Taizong of this dynasty, why was he able to have the last laugh and sit firmly under the situation that Emperor Taizu was determined to be easy to store. Doesn't it rely on the support of the military team brought out by the war that year? The past does not forget the teacher of the future, this truth is still clear to the emperor. ”
"The crown prince has never led an army to the battle, so naturally he does not have the foundation of Emperor Taizong back then. But such a team, in the current peaceful years, may not be impossible to buy with money. If the crown prince really uses a large amount of money in his hands to win over the ministers to form another team, I am afraid that this is what the emperor is most worried about at the moment. ”
"To be honest, the prince wants money, but to put it bluntly, it's a little bit. The general trend won over the ministers in order to compete with the aggressive Duan King and King Jing, and even Concubine De and the mother and son of the Song Dynasty, in order to keep his position as the prince. Because he knew that once he lost the position of prince, he would lose more than just an imperial throne. And everything about himself, including the lives of the whole family. ”
But in the eyes of the emperor, it is different. The prince's words are actually to put it bluntly, that is, a move of self-preservation, which must have a different meaning in the eyes of the emperor. The prince is so courting the ministers, does he also have the intention to be Tang Taizong, and accumulate strength so that at the right time, there will also be a change in the Xuanwu Gate of this dynasty? ”
"To put it mildly, I'm a little suspicious and a little stubborn. If he is really suspicious of the prince, I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before the prince is deposed. Although the emperor may not really have the intention of abolishing the prince at the moment, it is certain that he will give the prince a serious warning through other means. ”
And this Jing Zhaoyin is not only the prince's money bag, but also one of the prince's hardcore faction. When the emperor moves him, he will not only give the prince a stern warning, but also take down the prince's money bag, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Therefore, it is inevitable that the emperor will move Jing Zhaoyin. ”
Regarding Jia Quan's analysis, Huang Qiong still agrees with it. Three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang on top, it makes sense to listen more. Besides, this guy in front of him, playing these conspiracy methods, seems to be stronger than himself. It's just that if this Jing Zhaoyin is really removed, it will definitely not be a good thing for his current self.
Back then, when the emperor came to his mansion, if that Jing Zhaoyin was really removed later, I'm afraid even a fool would know that he must have sued behind his back. And Huang Qiong concluded that the next Jing Zhaoyin is likely to be whoever it is. But there is one thing, that is, it is absolutely impossible to be the person of the crown prince.
The money bag was cut off, and the people in his mansion were driven away by himself, I am afraid that the prince will definitely not let him go. The new hatred is added to the old hatred, and the prince will definitely use all means against himself. Although he has a handle in his hand that will definitely threaten the prince, it is a pity that there is no evidence.
At this time, listen to more advice, especially the advice of this guy who seems to be playing conspiracy and has some experience, which is only good for yourself and has no harm. It's just that Huang Qiong always feels that not only herself, but also Jia Quan seems to have neglected something in these things.
He had a vague feeling that many things were not as simple as they seemed. It's just that what she ignored, Huang Qiong didn't think about it for a while. He just felt that these things or someone he ignored were likely to bring the deadliest threat to him at a critical moment.
Seeing Huang Qiong's suddenly somewhat gloomy face, Jia Quan, who didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, thought that he was still worried about Concubine Jing, but smiled and said, "Lord Wang, Quan is here to congratulate Lord Wang." Today's performance of the prince can be said to have greatly increased in the emperor's mind. ”
"Especially the sentence that the life and death of the country is profitable, and it is not because of blessings and misfortunes to avoid it, it can be described as a stroke of genius. Lord Wang, Quan has a feeling that the emperor's handing over the affairs of the clan to you this time should be just the beginning. In the next step, it is very likely that the emperor will start to change the prince's feudal system. ”
"Although Quan can't guess yet, what the emperor will do next. But there is one right to guarantee that the emperor has now noticed, and even seen the seriousness of the matter, and knows that it has reached the point where it is impossible to change it. It's just that the emperor hasn't found a safe, or relatively safe way in his heart. ”
"Lord Wang, in fact, no matter how you change it, it is impossible not to touch the interests of the clan, let alone not cause a backlash from the clan. The only difference is the size of the rebound, and whether everyone can sit down and talk about an acceptable condition. Lord Wang, you have to be prepared, I'm afraid this can't be done overnight. ”
"There is another sentence, Quan has to say. You also have to have another preparation, that is, no matter how the emperor decides to change, you need someone to charge for the emperor. And this person, it turns out that it is not necessarily. But after the emperor's visit today, it is estimated that you are probably the best choice in the emperor's heart. ”
"Compared with the article that the emperor asked you to take before, I'm afraid this errand is not an easy errand for you. And the matter of Jing Zhaoyin, Lord Wang, you still have to bring as many guards as possible when you go out for a long time in the future. Some things are not afraid to come one by one, but they are afraid of several parties joining forces. ”
"There are some things that come out on the surface, and we are certainly not afraid. At least in the matter of the clan, as long as you don't make any big mistakes, the emperor will try his best to protect you even if he is not satisfied. Because this matter itself is the emperor's intention, so even if all the clans in the world join forces to impeach you, you won't have much of a problem. ”
"As for Jing Zhaoyin's matter, as the crown prince's person, he has to pick himself out first, at least on the bright side. If the prince doesn't speak, it is useless for others to set off a big storm in this matter. But what Quan is worried about is that they can't help you on the surface, and they will find an opportunity to do it behind their backs. In particular, when the two parties work together, it can be said that it is impossible to prevent it. Lord Wang, it's better to be careful for the better. ”
