Chapter 1: The Sacred Heart
The concept of hierarchy is an extremely useless thing for Duan Chong, and although Duan Zhong has always regarded himself as the boss, he has never had any shelf. Therefore, I am extremely tired of the threshold in the ancient house, and I will accidentally trip and fall. So since Duan Zhong moved into the mansion, he hired craftsmen to sawed down all the thresholds in the mansion. This is much more convenient to walk, even now it is extremely convenient to push Emperor Liang Wen to walk in the mansion.
For Emperor Wen of Liang, Duan Zhong has always been unable to guess, and even when he speculates on the emperor in front of him like the second prince, there is no result. The most difficult thing in the world to guess is the heart of the emperor, although Duan Zhong agrees with this, but he is also a prince, and he can still guess the meaning of his Lao Tzu Zhengkang, why is it useless when he arrives in Nanliang? Could it be that Emperor Wen of Liang has been bedridden for a long time and lacks a normal sexual* life, resulting in psychological deformities?
For such conjectures, of course, Duan Zhong can only say it in his mind, and saying it is no different from suicide. So pushing Emperor Liang Wendi, Duan Chong's hand trembled from time to time. This frail but thoughtful emperor, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, did not accompany his wife and children in the palace to roast the stove, but was willing to run to his house against the wind and snow. Emperor Wen Liang was not a faint monarch, so Duan Zhong didn't think he would find trouble for himself on this issue.
Duan Zhong pushed Emperor Liang Wen to walk around the mansion, because the wind and snow were not small, so the speed of walking was very fast, but Emperor Liang Wen was talking and laughing, and asked Duan Zhong a few questions from time to time. However, these problems are extremely fragmented, and they are no different from homely, which makes Duan Zhong confused. After waiting for a while, Emperor Liang Wendi suddenly turned his head: "Uncle Wen Yuan, I want to take a look at your room, how about it?" ”
Such a request, Duan Zhong naturally could not refuse. Pushing the wheelchair into his room, Emperor Liang Wendi stretched out his hand: "Help me sit down on the chair." ”
Duan Zhong hurriedly and carefully helped Emperor Liang Wen to sit on the chair. Just kidding, now the emperor of Nanliang is alone with him, and if something goes wrong, ten heads are not enough to cut off. Fortunately, at this moment, Emperor Nanliang did not show the majesty of the emperor, but seemed extremely easy-going. After sitting on the chair, Emperor Liang Wen motioned for Duan Zhong to sit down, and looked at Duan Zhong carefully, and then sighed: "Emperor Zhengkang gave birth to a good son!" ”
Duan Zhong was stunned: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment." ’
Emperor Liang Wendi shook his head, and actually showed an extremely helpless smile: "If I had a child like you, I wouldn't be so distressed." After that, he looked at Duan Chong, who looked puzzled, and continued, "Ping'er has an excellent character, but it's a pity that she is too kind. The heart is also too straightforward, if it is a peaceful and prosperous era, it is naturally a generation of Ming Jun, and his achievements will be thousands of generations. It's a pity that in these troubled times, such a gentle method cannot achieve anything. Such an emperor will guard his family business at most, and he wants to expand his territory, but it is impossible. ”
Duan Zhong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Emperor Liang Wendi would have a problem with his son's character, and he said it extremely pertinently, without the slightest deviation. In Duan Chong's view, if Xiao Beiping became the emperor, he would naturally be Mingjun and Renjun, but this hegemony of dominating the world would definitely not be achieved in Xiao Beiping's hands. Still thinking about it, Emperor Liang Wen continued: "So I sent Ping'er to Dali for three years. I want him to undergo some exercise outside, see the world, see if he can change his temperament, go for three years, although he has grown, but still not to reach the standard that satisfies me. ”
Emperor Liang Wen sighed leisurely: "The emperor's family, this prince is naturally not difficult to be. I also don't want the two brothers of Beiping and Beiding to follow the path I did back then, and the brothers killed each other, so I let Beiping go out to travel, but I didn't expect it to backfire in the end, and still took my old path, regretting it too late. Beiding's temperament is extremely extreme, originally these two brothers got along very well, but unfortunately I was seriously ill for two years, Beiping happened to go to Dali, only Beiding helped me temporarily manage the government, but these two years have made a great change in the character of the top. ”
"If it is about kings, in troubled times, Beiding is naturally much better than Beiping. At least the means are ruthless enough, if my position is handed over to him, maybe I can really unify the beams in the future. It's just that Beiping is a good boy and the eldest son of Da Liang, so logically speaking, I should have made him the crown prince a long time ago, so that there would not be so many incidents in the future. It's a pity that there is nothing in this world that can turn back time, and my momentary hesitation has caused today's bitter consequences. While I have two more years to live, I can only hope that these two brothers will not kill each other under my nose. ”
Duan Zhong listened to Emperor Liang Wendi's words, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Why did Your Majesty want to tell me this?" ”
Emperor Liang Wendi shook his head: "You are the smartest child I have ever met, so I am very grateful to you for being able to help Beiping tide over the difficulties." Although I am old and sick, I am not blind yet. I know you're a very thoughtful kid, and while I'm not sure exactly what you want, I know what you want to do is never that simple. I know that you have your own strength and power in Nanliang, and it is really not small, but you are very peaceful, and to a certain extent, I can understand that you organized this kind of force for self-protection, or to help Beiping. I know that you pulled Liao Zhangjin down in order to make money, I could have protected him, but I still let him be demoted and stay in Beijing. I also know that you like silver, and you have earned a lot of money that you have not spent, and I do not want to ask you about the whereabouts of this silver, but I only hope that you will promise me a few things. ”
Duan Zhong listened to Emperor Liang Wendi's words, but cold sweat flowed down one by one. Because Duan Chong always felt that Emperor Liang Wen was by no means simple, but he didn't expect that Emperor Liang Wen would know so many things, Duan Chong suddenly had a feeling that this emperor was an outsider's eye, watching the struggle of his two sons, the ups and downs of Nanjing City, and the ebb and flow of the entire Southern Liang Dynasty. And today, Emperor Liang Wendi found Duan Chong and told Duan Chong, I know what you do, I have been tolerating you, and it is time for you to repay me.
The heart of an emperor is the most difficult to fathom, and perhaps beneath the surface of benevolence is a heart of anger and chaos. So Duan Zhong didn't know what was hidden under Emperor Liang Wendi's seemingly calm face. More importantly, Duan Zhong didn't know how much Emperor Liang Wen knew about himself. Because no matter what happened to Xiao Li, or the "Snow Night Phoenix" in the valley, if it was known by any emperor, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat, and Duan Zhong could only guess now, Emperor Liang Wen didn't know.
Duan Chong pondered for a long time, and finally raised his head and looked directly at the emperor in front of him: "Your Majesty has a clear eye to see the world, and Duan Chong knows that he has nothing to hide. It's just that before His Majesty says the conditions, can I ask Your Majesty one thing? ”
"You say."
"During the two years that the eldest prince was in my Dali, I heard that His Majesty was seriously ill. It's just that Duan Chongdou dared to ask His Majesty, is there some other factor in the aggravation of your condition? ”
Emperor Liang Wendi's somewhat empty eyes suddenly became full, his eyes were full of some indescribable looks, and he looked at Duan Zhong for a long time, and finally said word by word: "I...... I don't know ............. Dao ......."
Duan Zhong sighed, shook his head and said, "I'm done asking." Although it was just a question, Duan Zhong was enough to see that this emperor was at least extremely suspicious of a previous serious illness. Why did Xiao Beiping coincidentally get worse within two or three years of going to Nanliang, and Xiao Beiding naturally became a prisoner?
Emperor Liang Wendi looked at Duan Chong: "Sometimes it's not a very good thing to know too much or think too much. People who know too much often die early, and people who think too much will not end up much better. This was a warning word, and Duan Zhong naturally knew that the emperor sitting opposite him had given himself an extremely reasonable piece of advice. So Duan Zhong could only nod.
Emperor Liang Wendi looked at Duan Zhong and continued: "I hope you can promise me two things. First of all, I hope that you will be able to sit in this position after my death, whether it is Beiping or Beiding, and I hope that you can save the life of the other one. Whether it's a hands-off prince or a seclusion, it's up to you. ”
Duan Zhong sighed, this emperor really still has a loving heart for his two sons, but he pins his hopes on himself for this matter, and he thinks too highly of himself, so he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, please rest assured of this." Beiping and I are like brothers, if Beiping is in trouble, I will naturally not ignore it, and according to Beiping's temperament, even if the person who failed in the end is the second prince, I don't think he will kill the killer. ”
Emperor Liang Wen nodded: "Since I have your promise, I am also relieved." After all, my time is short, and compliments such as longevity on weekdays are just flattery. I'm going to go after all. And I don't want to see my Nanliang corrupt in my hands or my son's. Therefore, my second condition is that I hope that no matter how much power you have in your hands in the future, you will not let Nanliang fall in your hands. ”
After hearing this, Duan Zhong suddenly felt a chill all over his body. After all, in his own plan, he maneuvered between the Southern Liang and the Northern Liang, and finally provoked a war between the two countries, so that Xiao Li could take advantage of the situation and make a profit from it. However, Emperor Liang Wendi suddenly said such words, which really made Duan Zhong feel a little overwhelmed. In the end, Emperor Liang Wendi knew something, or did he really value himself so much, and decided that he would definitely achieve something. As the so-called sacred heart is unfathomable, Duan Zhong definitely understands it deeply at this moment. So Duan Chong thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded weakly.
