Chapter 7: Loyalty? Filial piety?
Soon, Xiahou Xuanba, the general of Zhenguo, forced the palace to rebel late at night, but fortunately, the news that he had been desperately killed by the Imperial Forest Army spread all over the world.
As soon as the news came out at this time, the matter of Yan Kun, the previous secretary of the ministry, being punished by the Nine Clans, was instantly covered up by this news. Of course, no matter how far it is, Yan Kun doesn't seem to be enough to compare with Xiahou Xuanba, the general of Zhenguo.
And in order to block the mouth of the world, the little emperor even made public Lou Guan Lan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who thoroughly investigated the details of Xiahou Xuanba's rebellion. It is no surprise that under the "thorough investigation" of Lou Guanlan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, there have long been signs of the Xiahou family's rebellious intentions, and for so many years, under the protection of Xiahou Xuanba, the various crimes of his clansmen who have bent the law for bribes are even more innumerable, and there are dozens of major crimes of killing the head alone, and each of them is conclusive evidence.
The little emperor knew his crime, and only then did he know that Xiahou Xuanba's rebellion was just the tip of the iceberg, so he scolded in front of the Manchu ministers, Xiahou Xuanba bullied the king and disrupted the country, although he died and could not understand his hatred...... In addition to depriving Xiahou Xuanba of the position of the general of the Zhenguo and his brother Xiahou Wenyuan's position of prime minister, he also ordered someone to hang the head of Xiahou Xuanba on the city wall, and all the slaves in the palace of the general of the Zhenguo were taken to the noon gate to be beheaded one by one to show the public, and then, the sea fishing document was issued, and the traitor Xiahou Wenyuan was wanted all over the world.
However, what is strange is that after Xiahou Xuanba was killed like this, none of the troops under his control mutinied, and the private army of Xiahou Xuanba's Azi battalion also disappeared without a trace after leaving the imperial capital.
After this incident, the little emperor's temperament became even more incomprehensible, and he killed many courtiers one after another. All of a sudden, all the people of Fengling City became panicked. It is even rumored that the ministers of the court have prepared coffins for themselves before going to court......
What's even more strange is that since Xiahou Wenyuan's position as prime minister was stripped away, the little emperor has not appointed a new prime minister. Although some people speculated about the holy will, they once wrote a book recommending Lou Guanlan, the secretary of the criminal department who "made great contributions" in the Xiahou incident. But the little emperor thought about it for a long time and didn't agree for a long time, Lou Guanlan saw this and hurriedly shirked that he was not good enough to take on the important task of prime minister.
Seeing this situation, the talented and clever person set his eyes on the long-dormant Taishi Mansion, guessing whether Situ Yimen was going to make a comeback? This position of prime minister is reserved for Situ Buqi? And this matter is not groundless, but there are traces to follow, you must know that the Xiahou family is very involved in this matter, Xiahou Wenyuan is the proud protégé of the old lady Situ Changqing, although the old lady has become ancient, but according to the situation at the time, if someone makes an article about this matter, I am afraid that the Taishi Mansion will also be implicated. But the little emperor, who has always been tyrannical and harsh, is still in favor of the Taishi Mansion in this matter.
However, speculation is speculation after all, and according to the current situation, no one dares to speculate on the holy will before the little emperor has a clear hint. And after the incident of Xiahou, the Taishi Mansion still closed its doors as always and refused all visitors, completely putting on a picture of ignoring the matter, and did not show the slightest intention of making a comeback.
……
……
Late at night, an ordinary-looking carriage walked in the deepest part of Beichen Avenue in Yuhua Lane, the deepest part of Beichen Avenue, and went straight to Taishi's Mansion.
In fact, this is not the first time that this carriage has gone to the Taishi Mansion, as early as the night when Xiahou Xuanba was ambushed, this carriage quietly drove into the Taishi Mansion, and then, this carriage came this time again, counting this time today, it is the third time. It's strange to say that since the Taishi Mansion was closed, even official figures like the Six Shangshu have been closed, but every time this carriage comes, it can enter the mansion.
The carriage soon stopped at the door of the Taishi's mansion, and everyone in the porter saw that the carriage was all kneeling on the ground, and after a while, Situ Buqi actually came to the door to greet him...... At this time, the identity of the person in the carriage was also about to be revealed.
……
"Sir, this is the third time I've come to invite you to join you, can you bear to see me alone? You must know that the position of prime minister is specially reserved for Mr...... The old lady and the first emperor have achieved a beautiful legend of the monarch and the minister, why is the gentleman unwilling to continue the glory of the old lady? I know that Mr. Xu's talent is no less than that of the traitor Xiahou Wenyuan, as long as Mr. agrees to enter the court, in addition to Mr. Xu's position as Prime Minister/Grand Master, I would prefer to be called Mr. 'Father'...... In this way, Mr.'s achievements and fame will be better than the blue in the future! Sir......" the little emperor pleaded earnestly.
With a "plop", Situ Buqi hurriedly knelt on the ground and said with deep affection: "How can the grass people be virtuous? Dare to work Your Majesty again and again deigned to come, Your Majesty's affection for the grass people, the grass people are kept in mind in the heart, although ten thousand deaths can not repay Your Majesty's kindness one or two......"
Hearing Situ Buqi say this, the little emperor couldn't help but show a hint of joy, just when he thought that his corporal Lixian and Xu Yizhong's kindness had finally moved Situ Buqi, but he saw Situ Buqi suddenly changed his words and said: "It's just that my father left his last words on his deathbed, and since he has not been allowed to enter the official class, although the grass people are not talented, but my father's dying words are never dare to disobey!" ”
When the little emperor heard this, his face changed suddenly, how could he be so ignorant of what to do? I have followed the example of the ancients to visit the sages, and I have deigned to invite you three times and twice, which can be regarded as giving you enough face...... But you always excuse yourself? However, seeing that the other party used the old lady Situ Changqing, who had already been an ancient master, as a shield, the little emperor was not too harsh. After all, it is well known that the old lady left this last word on his deathbed. Moreover, Da You already rules the world with filial piety, not to mention that he also has a trace of gratitude to the old lady Situ Changqing in his heart, so Situ Buqi adheres to the old lady's last words, not only can he not blame, but also praise.
However, in the current situation, apart from asking Situ Buqi to come out of the mountain, the little emperor really can't think of anyone who can help him clean up this mess. What's more, except for Situ Yimai, who can make him fully trust, other people, he can't fully trust.
The little emperor squinted his eyes, looked at Situ Buqi carefully, and then said again without giving up: "It stands to reason that the old lady has his last words first, and I should also obey them." It's just that now the situation in the court is in chaos, except for Mr., I really can't imagine who else can support the building to fall? I also greatly admire the filial piety of my husband, but... Please sir, for the sake of the face of the people in this world, come out and help me! ”
"Bang." Situ Buqi knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty's kindness, the grass people are grateful...... It's just that I hope Your Majesty can sympathize with the grass people, it's not that the grass people don't know the general situation, but it's really the father's fate. Moreover, the monarchs of the court can defeat the grass people are not counted, not to mention, I have ruled the world with filial piety since ancient times, if the grass people disobey their father's last words, the grass people are people without filial piety and no father, so how will the world talk about the grass people? Let's not talk about the cheap name of the grass people, if it is because of the grass people's affairs and provokes criticism to His Majesty, the grass people are really the ones who will die......"
"You ......"
The little emperor looked at Situ Buqi, who did not enter the oil and salt, and couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, and his eyes also showed a trace of annoyance. It's just that Situ Buqi is lying on the ground with his head on the ground at this moment, and he hasn't seen it at all. Bai You, who was standing on the side, looked at this scene, but suddenly recalled Xiahou Xuanba, and the sentence that Xiahou Xuanba asked at that time came to his mind (the king of Dayou treats his loyal ministers and virtuous like this, who will dare to work for the king of Dayou in the future?). )。 Bai You couldn't help but think, could it be because of the incident of the Xiahou clan that this Situ Buqi rejected His Majesty again and again?
The little emperor's eyes moved back and forth on Situ Buqi's body, and when his eyes stayed on Situ Buqi's neck, he couldn't help but move...... He suddenly remembered the imperial technique that his father, Emperor Long Shuo, had taught him: If it can't be used by me, I will kill it.
"Your Majesty." Feeling the little emperor's murderous intent, Bai You hurriedly exclaimed.
When the little emperor heard Bai You's voice, he also reacted instantly, remembering the moment just now, even he himself was shocked, and quickly suppressed the murderous intent in his heart. He knew that this Situ lineage was no better than the Xiahou family, and his killing of Xiahou Xuanba had already aroused criticism from all over the world, but because Xiahou Xuanba was arrogant and domineering with heavy troops, he was still said to be a rebel. But this Situ Buqi is different, not to mention that the old lady's protégé's hometown is still all over the world, just Situ Buqi's current identity makes him unable to act rashly, because Situ Buqi is now unofficial and powerless, just a white dress. People in the world may believe that a general with a heavy army has the intention of rebellion, but if he is in white clothes and plots rebellion, no one will believe it. Although the little emperor was tyrannical, he also knew that once he really killed Situ Buqi, it would cause turmoil among the people in the world, and at that time, he would really be destroying his ancestors.
But if you don't do this again? The little emperor couldn't swallow this breath again, so he looked at Situ Buqi and thought for a while, and then said word by word: "Mr. is familiar with history books, and should know that 'Heaven and Earth Jun is a teacher', and the king is before the kiss...... I can't refute Mr. with filial piety, but I want to ask, if I forcibly issue an order and order Mr. to enter the court as an official, what will Mr. want? ”
Situ Buqi glanced up at the little emperor, and without thinking too much, he directly knelt on the ground, and said in a firm tone: "The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers are not loyal if they don't die; The father wants the son to die, and the son does not die and is not filial...... The grass people are not talented, but they are also willing to use this cheap life, with all the loyalty to His Majesty and filial piety to his father. ”
When the little emperor heard this, he stared at Situ Buqi deadly, but Situ Buqi also looked at the little emperor without fear...... After a while, the little emperor suddenly burst out laughing, supported Situ Buqi with both hands, and said, "Sir, it's serious, I know Situ Yimai's loyalty to this empire. Now that the gentleman has made up his mind, then I will no longer be strong. I hope you will take care of ......."
"Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding, and the grass people are grateful." Situ Buqi fell to his knees again.
"Bai You, let's go." The little emperor said in a flat tone.
