Chapter 0439: Emperor's Heart
Zhao Ce hesitated a little: "Otherwise, let's let Xiao Han go back, after all, he is still a general in Mozhou, and after he goes back, he will continue to guard Mozhou." ”
"Hehe, continue to guard Mozhou?" Tang Su smiled and said, "This time, it's not just Mozhou. It's better to let Bai Ke go back first, hold Luoyang again, wait for us to destroy the Southern Jin Dynasty, and then wave troops to deal with the Liao State, this time to start a war with the Liao State, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun should come back. If the situation allows, it is not impossible to kill Liaodong. ”
When Emperor Zhao Ce and the eight-thousand-year-old Tang Su were discussing major matters, Bai Chongguang was silent beside him, but as soon as Tang Shuo left, Bai Chongguang said: "Your Majesty, you are so good to the eight-thousand-year-old, eight-thousand-year-old is really blessed." ”
"Oh, he has done so faithfully for me, and has done countless deeds, so of course be kind to him."
"Your Majesty, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."
Maybe Zhao Ce has already sensed something, Bai Chongguang has to sow discord? But how can you stir up trouble? The power and prestige of the 8,000-year-old can compete with that of the emperor.
Although he thought so, Zhao Ce still asked softly: "This is not the court, if you have something to say, just listen to it." ”
What the emperor means is that in private, anything can be said between the monarch and the minister, and you can discuss it, you can rest assured and bold.
If Bai Chongguang was bold, then he would not be able to be the minister of Shu Han, he suddenly smiled and said: "The minister thinks that His Majesty the Emperor should take over the power." Weichen speculated in vain, at this time, His Majesty must have scolded me in his heart, and he talked some nonsense, if he could accept it, His Majesty would have accepted it a long time ago, so why wait until now. Actually, Your Majesty, you have been on the wrong path. It is not as difficult as imagined to collect military power. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Ce said immediately.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first, in fact, Tang Xiao should not be allowed to leave with the Tang family generals, but should kill them all at a banquet."
Bai Chongguang is really ruthless, and Emperor Zhao Ce suddenly sneered: "Why aren't you early?" ”
Bai Chongguang smiled and said: "Originally, I wanted to give advice to His Majesty the Emperor and set a table for them to see off the banquet before Tang Xiao left, but later, I found that His Majesty the Emperor was merciful, and the timing was not the best, so I didn't make such a suggestion." ”
Zhao Ce said: "Then now that you are with me, do you have a new plan?" ”
Bai Chongguang suddenly became serious: "Fight the Southern Jin Dynasty first, after breaking the first line of defense of the Southern Jin Dynasty, get rid of the eight thousand years old, and then find a way to eliminate the remnants of the Tang Clan." ”
Zhao Ce said coldly: "It seems that you don't know much about the system of the Liang Dynasty. Only killing Tang Su will not shake the power of the Tang clan gate valve at all, and their main force is in Longyou. ”
"Your Majesty, this is exactly where your misunderstanding has been for many years. You are wrong. ”
"What's wrong?"
In Chen's opinion, since Tang Zhen's death, there has been no Tang Clan's door valve. Tang Su may be very loyal, maybe he is very stupid, or he may be hiding too deeply. But no matter what the reason is, it is not a reason for him to have the strength to fight against the imperial power. If it should be removed, it must be removed. Otherwise, people's hearts will change. Don't indulge him. Once he has the heart to become the second Tang Zhen, or has the heart to overthrow the Great Liang Dynasty, it will be too late to move him at that time. ”
In the face of Bai Chongguang's words, in fact, Zhao Ce had already thought about it, but there was no one around him who could discuss this matter, and no one dared to discuss it with him. Except for Huang Gonggong. But Huang Gonggong is just a father-in-law, and his ability is really limited.
So far, Bai Chongguang's words have wandered on the verge of angering the emperor, as if walking on a cliff, every step is dangerous, but he has not fallen. trampled the emperor into a surging mood, and his anger was kept in his mouth and not released.
Bai Chongguang has been observing his words, he deliberately is very shallow, just to see if His Majesty is angry, now it seems that his judgment is correct, Zhao Ce has long had the intention of taking power, but he has never found a chance to start. Moreover, Tang Xiao and Tang Su Twin Stars controlled the Tang Clan's gate valve and only killed one, I'm afraid it will not be schooled
Bai Chongguang said decisively: "If you want to do it, let's kill it together." They must not be kept, if this matter is dragged on, it will be dragged out until the Southern Jin Dynasty perishes. Then, this matter is too difficult to do, perhaps, the Tang family will do it first. ”
"But in terms of strength, the Tang Clan's gate valve ......, you still have your ideas first." The emperor was halfway through his words, and then changed his words again.
"Actually, it's very simple, use miasma to kill people and let Tang Su die of illness, and Tang Xiao's side can buy off his generals and kill him."
"It's hard to buy. There are some things you don't understand, the royal family of the Liang Dynasty has been fighting against the three major lords for 200 years, and the number of assassinations has been no less than 100, but only three have been successful. Then, they failed to bring down the gate valve, but strengthened their determination to oppose each other, and even almost fought. They have deep roots and a sound system, and among the civil and military officials, almost half of the Tang clan is now the gatekeeper. Even if the two brothers die, they will quickly elect a patriarch to take power. If you want to move the Tang Clan, it is not as simple as you think. ”
Bai Chongguang looked a little anxious, "Your Majesty, don't hesitate. Xinchen said that the moment he took Jingzhou and crossed the Yangtze River was the best time to move the Tang Gate. ”
Zhao Ce thought for a long time and didn't say anything more, but when he got tired, Bai Chongguang retired.
After Bai Chongguang left, Zhao Ce sneered: "If you kill Tang Su and Tang Xiao, do you think there will be no one to compete with me?" The reason why I dare to let the queen hold the military power is to contain the Tang clan, and at the same time, I also use the Tang clan to contain the queen. The result is a full foot. Before confiscating Tang Qi's military power, the Tang clan could not move. ”
Thinking about it, the emperor suddenly smiled bitterly, "It's really strange, there are not many people with the surname Tang, why are there so many people surnamed Tang in my court?" There are also the civil officials introduced to me by Tang Yuan, sooner or later, I ......think Cheng Daren and Tang Chu'an are both talents, and I also think that they are loyal to me. Could it be that Tang Yuan didn't have any other plans? ”
The emperor shook his head: "A person has high merit and power enough to fight against the emperor, why should he listen to the emperor?" If it were me, I would definitely not be foolish to the emperor. ”
Zhao Ce looked up at the starry sky, and suddenly muttered: "The birds are all flying, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook; The enemy country is destroyed, and the ministers are destroyed. People are often self-defeating. ”
"Your Majesty." At this time, Huang Gonggong walked over with a blanket in his hand: "It's a little cold, Your Majesty put on this blanket." ”
Zhao Ce waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to, but said to Huang Gong fairly: "You and I a while ago, worried that the queen had collusion with the Tang clan, do you have any evidence?" ”
"The old slave just reminded His Majesty with enthusiasm, and there is no empirical evidence in his hands."
"I guess that's the same."
Gonggong Huang lowered his voice and said: "The medicine has been sent to Princess Chang'an, I hope she will live up to her mission." ”
Zhao Ce clenched his fists: "If Zhao Ya still refuses to do it this time, I will send her a few fingers." I think you know who to send, right? ”
"Of course the old slave knows that she has lived in her uncle's house, and now her uncle and aunt are all under the control of the old slave."
