Chapter 371: Ask

Xia Shouzhong's answer was very clear, that is, let the emperor stick to his original strategy and get rid of Jia Ke first. As for the misdeeds of those generals, wait until they get rid of Jia Ke, and then spend a few years slowly cleaning up the mess.

Although Xia Shouzhong said this, the emperor was a little uneasy. If in this way, although he got rid of one Jia Ke, but there are dozens more Jia Ke in the world, or he will become the envoy of the Later Tang Dynasty, and he will not take the court in his eyes?

If so, what's the point of getting rid of Jia Ke? To put it mildly, now there is Jia Ke in the court, and the princes and envoys of the world dare not make any changes. If Jia Ke hadn't suppressed it, and these people would have money, food, soldiers and horses, it would not be against the sky.

This put the emperor in a dilemma, and now the emperor is also very puzzled, how did the originally good dynasty become like this now?

Before he ascended the throne, the world was peaceful. But since he ascended the throne as emperor, all kinds of troubles have found this dynasty, first Jia Ke has ill intentions, and then the Tatars are eyeing the Central Plains, and now the power of the three major merchant gangs has been revealed, depending on the situation, the strength of these people can even influence the decision of the imperial court. Coupled with the generals in various places, there are even signs of self-reliance. Is this still the dynasty in its prime? This is simply even more chaotic than the end of the dynasty.

Thinking about it, the emperor couldn't help but think of that dream again, could it be that this is the consequence of the decay of luck and the devouring of dragon qi, could it be that he really responded to that sentence: Heaven and earth are all working together, and heroes are not free.

When the emperor was in a dilemma in the Palace of Heart Cultivation and didn't know what to do, Xia Shouzhong next to him looked a little distressed, so he gave him an idea: "Long live Lord, the Emperor Taishang has been in power for many years, and he is very skilled in dealing with these things, so the emperor might as well go to Ningshou Palace to ask the Emperor Taishang for advice." What does it mean to see the Emperor? ”

Xia Shouzhong's words woke up the dreamer, if you want to talk about the rich experience of governance, he, the new emperor, is not as good as the emperor Taishang. In a chaotic situation like the current one, the Emperor Taishang has experienced an unknown number of times.

For example, the time more than ten years ago, the risk is not worse than now, but didn't the emperor survive safely with his skilled governing skills?

After the emperor figured it out, he immediately said to Xia Shouzhong: "I haven't been to visit the emperor for several days. I don't know how the emperor and his old man are doing these days. There happened to be no major event today, and he immediately set up Ningshou Palace. ”

"Yes, the minion will prepare the chariot for the Lord of Long Life." Xia Shouzhong saw that the emperor understood what he meant, and immediately went down to prepare for the emperor, after all, there was still a distance from the emperor's heart cultivation hall to the emperor's Ningshou Palace, and if he walked to the emperor, he was afraid that he would be tired.

Soon, outside the Yangxin Palace, a bright yellow sedan chair was prepared for the emperor to walk in the palace. The emperor went out of the Yangxin Palace, got on the small sedan chair, carried by four eunuchs, and followed by dozens of eunuchs before and after, carrying various utensils for the emperor's travel, such as incense burners, food boxes, and toilets. Let's put it this way, there will be no shortage of daily necessities.

This is still a distance from Ningshou Palace, if the emperor goes out to inspect, then preparing things for the emperor can be discharged for a few hundred meters.

It only took less than a stick of incense to drive the emperor's Luan to the outside of Ningshou Palace, the emperor got off the sedan chair outside Ningshou Palace, and then walked directly to Ningshou Palace, and there were already eunuchs in Ningshou Palace to report inside.

The emperor came to Ningshou Palace outside the sleeping palace of the emperor, at this time Dai Quan was already waiting outside, and when he saw the emperor coming, he immediately walked a few steps forward, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor, "Slave Dai Quan, please say hello to the Lord of Long Live." ”

"Get up, don't be polite. How is the Emperor's health in the past few days? There is no improvement. After the emperor asked Dai Quan to get up, he asked anxiously.

If it was the emperor in the past, he wished that the emperor would die early, but when the court was becoming more and more difficult during this time, he hoped that the emperor would live a long life, so that he could ask the emperor for advice from time to time, so as to be able to stabilize the current situation.

Dai Quan listened to the emperor's question, and a burst of sadness flashed in his eyes, in fact, Dai Quan knew that the Emperor Taishang might not last long, "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, the Emperor Taishang has slept fairly peacefully in the past two days, and he can wake up in three or four hours a day." ”

When the emperor heard Dai Quan say this, there was a panic in his heart, a person was awake for three or four hours a day, and the rest of the time was in a coma, where is this okay, I am afraid that he is already terminally ill.

"Then is the Emperor awake or resting now?" The emperor came to find the Emperor Taishang today, and there was indeed something wrong, so he asked the Emperor Taishang if he was awake now.

"Back to the words of the Long Live Lord, the Emperor Taishang and his old man have just woken up now, and the emperor is now in just enough to be able to talk to the Emperor."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, "You go in and say to the Emperor Taishang, and say that I see that the Emperor has something to discuss." ”

"Look at what you said, long live the lord, the emperor has already asked the servants to wait here, and it's the right time for you to go in now." Dai Quan hurriedly said to the flattering Emperor Xiang.

The emperor didn't have time to talk to him now, and when he heard that the emperor had asked him to wait for him here, he immediately entered the emperor's bedroom.

After the emperor entered the palace of the Emperor Taishang, he saw the Emperor Taishang lying weakly on the dragon bed, and the Queen Mother next to him kept wiping his sweat.

The Emperor Taishang on the dragon bed saw the emperor come in, and you saw that he stretched out his hand and beckoned to him.

The emperor immediately walked a few steps to the emperor's dragon bed, "Father, the son has come to see you." ”

"Don't be so careful, just say something quickly, I don't have the energy to fight with you now." The Emperor Taishang lay on the bed and said in a weak tone.

As soon as the emperor heard the words of the emperor, his face immediately felt panicked. The Emperor Taishang saw at a glance that he was coming for something, and he didn't look like he was perfunctory, it seemed that he really had no energy.

"Father, my son doesn't know what to do with some problems now, so I want to ask my father how to solve them."

"Say something quickly, don't mother-in-law." The Emperor Taishang still said in a weak tone.

The emperor saw that the Emperor Taishang was indeed uninhibited, and hurriedly said: "My son thought of a way to deal with Jia Ke some time ago, and reduced all the military salaries of Jia Ke's troops by four layers. I didn't expect to cause a mess because of this. ”

"Did those hiccups start looking for money on their own?" The Emperor said in a disdainful tone.

"It is that those at the border have begun to collect taxes privately, and this wind has spread to the interior, and those generals in the interior have also begun to set up roadblocks to collect taxes from passing merchants. Now the three major merchant gangs in the court are putting pressure on me, and my son really doesn't know what to do, so he came to ask his godfather. The emperor was not polite, and he told all his troubles in one go.

When Emperor Taishang heard the emperor's words, his eyes were red with anger, and he told the emperor to put down everything else and concentrate on having a child with Jia Yuanchun, it seems that the emperor has long been thrown out of the clouds.

"Stupid, where are you weakening Jia Ke, you obviously untied the reins on him."

The emperor didn't dare to be a little dissatisfied with the emperor's scolding, if the emperor scolded him like this before, he still had a rebellious mentality in his heart. But since the Emperor Taishang handed over power to him, and now he is wholeheartedly advising him, he has more respect for the Emperor. Don't look at the emperor scolding him now, in fact, this is the emperor expressing his concern for him. It's just that as an emperor, he can't let himself be weak, even if he is too much of an emperor, he must not show his weak side to others.

The Emperor Taishang rested for a while before saying: "The situation is very clear now, to say that those generals in the mainland did not get Jia Ke's hint, it would be simply self-deception. At this point, the only way you can do it is to have a prince with Jia Yuanchun as soon as possible. ”

The Emperor Taishang gasped when he said this, and he couldn't say any more. The queen mother next to him hurriedly rubbed his chest and helped him smooth his breath.

The emperor looked at the emperor, he might swallow his breath at any time, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, where was this still the one he knew before, the father who swallowed mountains and rivers and dominated the world.

The Emperor Taishang rested for a while before he said: "You deduct military salaries, and those soldiers below naturally have to find their own way to live, and if this becomes a convention, that is, if you put your military salary in the future, they will not stop, so that they will have less and less reverence for the imperial court, what should you do when the time comes?" ”

The Emperor Taishang paused for a moment, and then said, "Do you really think that these little tricks can subdue Jia Ke? Do you really think that those people in the three battalions can be commanded by you? Do you really think that Jia Ke will be tied up and waiting for you to deal with it? ”

The Emperor Taishang's three questions made the emperor stammer.

Later, the emperor thought about it, gritted his teeth and said: "What the father said is right, the son did something inconsiderate, but this time he had to do it." The son thought that the generals everywhere were now a little deviant, and when Jia Ke was controlled and the military power of the border pass was collected, these people were just fish on the board. ”

The Emperor Taishang was now so angry that he didn't expect the emperor to be so stupid and release this tiger from the cage, and he didn't know how to repent.

"Shut up, do you really think Jia Ke is afraid of you? In my opinion, Jia Ke is teasing you, as long as the time is ripe, Jia Ke can beat you to hell with his hand, and he is still dreaming of spring and autumn here. ”

The emperor is indeed now six gods and no master, otherwise he would not have come to the emperor to ask for countermeasures, "Father, you think of a way for your son, what should I do?" Otherwise, our family's splendid country will probably be defeated in the hands of our son. ”

"You are still a little self-aware, my idea was given to you a long time ago, but you have not been obedient." The Emperor said weakly.

"Father, don't be joking, what does our family's country have to do with Jia Yuanchun giving birth to a prince?" The emperor didn't take this matter to heart at all, and he didn't think that this idea would save his country.
