Chapter 1598: Deliberation

(Two big chapters, aren't they worth your votes?) )

When the Lin Mansion was feasting and drinking, in the Cuiwei Palace of the Yanfu Palace of the Imperial Palace, in the spring pavilion of the huge apse, a mother and son were silently sitting at a table full of dishes. The night breeze blew in through the cracks in the window, blowing the candles on the candlesticks and shaking, illuminating the faces of the mother and son, which were slightly gloomy.

"Emperor, why don't you eat? You and I mother and son meet, and you are now enthroned as the emperor, and your father knows that he should be very pleased. Mother is not good at drinking, you can have a few drinks with your father in the spirit of heaven, and celebrate. The new queen mother, the former princess of Liang, Shen Akui, said.

"Mother, how can a child eat? Drink alcohol? How do children have an appetite? You can be regarded as personally feeling the arrogance and rudeness of that guy today, right? In front of you, he humiliated Huang Jiang, who I sent to greet the queen mother, and forced him to kowtow to him in front of you. Hehe, what a majesty. It's okay to be majestic in front of me, but it's also majestic in front of the queen mother. It's really hateful. And tonight, the queen mother obviously asked him to come to the palace for a banquet, but he didn't come, and forced his sister to send someone to give some reasons. It's so rude, where will he take me? Where will the queen mother be? I can't bear it, I really can't bear it. Guo Kun's face was distorted with anger, and he stood up and chattered as he spoke, pacing and roaring back and forth like a beast.

"My father was right before he died, Lin Jue is too calculating, too good at selling fame and reputation to win people's hearts, with him, I, the emperor, am a puppet. My father told me to deal with it and find a way to deal with him. I used to think that my father was a little too worried, but now it seems that my father's dying words are golden and good. And what Lu Zhongtian said that day was also right, he said that Lin Jue was a tiger wolf, the next thief who stole the country, and sooner or later he would eat me. What they say is good words. Thinking that my father and Lu Zhongtian are heroes, it is no accident that they have such the same opinion on Lin Jue. In the past few years, Lin Jue has done whatever he wants, never asking my opinion, and his opinions have been ignored by him. There is no mecca in his heart, and there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority. He himself said that he was only loyal to the Great Zhou and not to the emperor, although that was for Guo Xu, but now that he thinks about it, isn't it the same for Guo Xu as he is to me? Damn, Lin Jue is a wolf ambition through and through, he is the fierce tiger and evil wolf beside me. Guo Kun waved his arms and roared loudly, cursing viciously.

"Kun'er!" The Queen Mother finally couldn't help frowning and exclaimed. "Why are you so impatient, and what good is that? What can happen if you have to be calm and composed, not as irritable and unbreathed as you are? If my Liang Wangfu was like you, wouldn't it have been wiped out by the emperor a long time ago. How can there be today? Your father has been dormant in Hangzhou for 20 years, have you ever seen your father like you now? ”

Guo Kun was stunned, stood still, turned his head to look at his mother, and spread his hands and said, "Queen Mother, isn't what my son said wrong?" Isn't it obvious what is happening now? Although I am enthroned as emperor, what power do I have? Does anyone listen to what I say? It's all Lin Jue in charge. He's the real emperor, I'm just a puppet. If so, what am I, the emperor, doing? ”

"Bastard! If you sit on the throne for one day, you will be the lord of the Great Zhou and the lord of all peoples. Anyone, as long as he doesn't believe in Guo, can't snatch the emperor's throne. Did Lu Zhongtian snatch it? He didn't even dare to be the emperor until the last moment, because he knew that the world belonged to the Guo family, and his claim to be emperor would only expose his ambitions and attract the opposition of the people of the world. In the end, his ascension to the throne was nothing more than a self-consolation at the end of his life. The same is true of your brother-in-law, he is a very smart man, so he will not take your position as emperor. You don't really think he wants to depose you as emperor, do you? If you really think so, then the mourners are too disappointed in you. How could he do that? That's a big taboo, if he wants to be the emperor, why should he support you as the emperor? He must take the soldiers and horses to defeat the entire state capital of the Great Zhou, destroy the Great Zhou and establish a new country. If he had done so, he would have been able to ascend the throne as emperor, instead of what he is doing now. "The Queen Mother Shen Akui had to say something for her ignorant and irascible son

Ben's reasoning made him understand some basic facts.

"But the queen mother, even if he doesn't want to be the emperor, but in fact, what is the difference between him and being the emperor now? I am under its control, what does it mean in front of this emperor? Guo Kun shouted with a stiff neck.

"You're still saying such stupid things. The mourning family made it very clear to you, you are the emperor when you are in your position. No matter how powerful anyone is, he is a courtier. You don't want to be an emperor? Isn't that what someone else wants? You've obviously let him down, and you're not right, a lot of people. Are there still few children of the Guo royal family? Grab a handful, he can set up a person of royal blood as the emperor at will, does it have to be you? Any Guo emperor's heir is the emperor, and the people of the world will not have objections. Hehe, he can even let his wife, the daughter of the former emperor who you named the princess of Anguo, be the emperor. In that case, he'll have everything in his hands. The Queen Mother Shen Akui said in a deep voice.

Guo Kun was stunned and exclaimed, "How is it possible? The imperial heir needs orthodoxy, how can any person be the emperor? Green Dance ...... Green Dance is a woman, how can she be an emperor? Isn't that a joke? ”

"Who said a woman can't be an emperor? Didn't Li Tang have Wu Zetian as the empress? And it's good. Aren't the men in office still bowing down to their subordinates? Orthodox? Green Dance is the daughter of the first emperor, and she is orthodox. Guo Xu is more qualified to be an emperor than you. You are now on the throne of the emperor, it is by chance, but not because you are more qualified than others. If he really deposes you and makes Green Dance the empress of the Great Zhou, then no one can tell you anything. At most, it is just a debate about the superiority of men and women, but the superiority of men and women is limited to the common people, and there is no such thing in the royal family. The only daughter of the emperor is the emperor, but it will win the hearts of a large number of former ministers and people. Kun'er, think about it. The Queen Mother reprimanded coldly.

Guo Kun was stunned in his heart, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his body. He hadn't thought about it at all, and in fact his talent wasn't enough to think about it so well. At this moment, his mother said these words, which made him like a slap in the face.

"Queen Mother, does Lin Jue really want to do this? Isn't it impossible for me to do anything to undo it? So what should I do? Could it be that if he is allowed to press me step by step, he will eventually abolish me? Replace it with whoever he wants to stand? ”

"Kun'er, calm down, you must calm down. Do you know that your father and I have been planning for fifteen years? Although it was said that it was a failure in the end, it almost almost succeeded. If it weren't for the short-lived third prince being poisoned, the current situation would have been very different. Needless to say, the queen mother just wants to tell you that you must calm down, and you must be careful when seeking skin with the tiger, and you can't be as impatient as you. At least for now, Lin Jue doesn't seem to have any intention of abolishing you. The mourning family just felt a little puzzled, why did Lin Jue's relationship with you take a sharp turn for the worse? Didn't you do a good job before? He also trusts you so much, why did he change so quickly? ”

"The queen mother, it's not because the people who are planted next to him have been discovered by him. Shen Tan...... This idiot, he arranged for that Sun Dayong to be by Lin Jue's side, and he was originally only controlling Lin Jue, but that guy was actually grateful to him and confessed to Lin Jue. made Lin Jue wary of me and Shen Tan. I tried my best to save it, but I couldn't do anything about it. That Shen Tan doesn't have the same heart with me now, it's obvious that he is afraid. I think that's because of that. Guo Kun said in a deep voice.

"When did this happen? You planted eyeliner next to Lin Jue? The Queen Mother was shocked.

"That was still very early, when Lin Jue colluded with the mountain bandits and asked Shen Tan to help him get armor and blades, his father said that he had to take this opportunity to restrain him, so he let Shen Tan approach him and socialize with him. It's to win his trust. It's not that I think Lin Jue can be in what kind of climate at that time, but because at that time, Lin Jue's teacher Fang Dunru and that solemn and solemn were reused by the imperial court, and more inside information could be obtained through Lin Jue. And...... And we have the news of Lin Jue's collusion with the bandits in Funiu Mountain, and we can take advantage of this anytime and anywhere. After all, through Lin Jue, Fang Dunru and Yan Zhengsu can be implicated, and they can be coerced or co-opted. It's just that later I had to marry my sister to Lin

After Jue, he can't use this matter to coerce Lin Jue, it will implicate our royal mansion. But it is still necessary to monitor Lin Jue and know whether he is loyal to my palace, so this line has not been broken, but in fact, nothing has been done to him. ”

Shen Akui patted the table and sighed: "You fathers and sons, you lack strategy. How could such a thing be done? After Lin Jue took Wei'er, he immediately withdrew the people around him, how could he keep it? That doesn't work anymore. He married Wei'er, so he had to think about the palace, so do you still need to monitor him? It's just stupid. So it is with you, and so it is with your father. Lin Jue was of course disheartened when he knew about this, and of course he would be alienated from us. Whoever knows these things will be angry. ”

Guo Kun smacked his lips and said, "What's the use of talking about this now?" ”

The Queen Mother said: "Yes, it's really useless to say this. But this alone is afraid that it will not be like this. After all, you didn't do anything to him against him, you just planted an ear and an eye. Annoyance is inevitable, but Lin Jue shouldn't do this to you because of this matter. Did you do anything to him? ”

Guo Kun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, I greeted him with a smile, and I was almost a slave, how dare I offend him?" ”

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "You really haven't done anything bad to him?" You're so breathless, you're going to do nothing? Knowing the son Mo Ruomu, in front of your mother, you don't have to hide it. Mother is helping you, not harming you. ”

Guo Kun snorted: "I...... I...... Even if I did, he wouldn't know. ”

"What the hell did you do?" The Queen Mother said angrily.

"I ...... That night, he went to see me at the old palace, and I had a showdown with him to get a promise from him. I thought that if he didn't give me a promise, I would kill him without doing anything, and if he wanted to take my throne anyway, it would be like killing me, regardless of the consequences. So I arranged people around the plank road of the old palace and prepared to kill him. But I didn't do it, and he didn't know about it. Guo Kun finally confessed the matter.

Shen Akui stood up in shock, opened his eyes and shouted, "What? You...... You actually did that? He didn't attack you, but you moved to kill him first? Kun'er, you're so disappointing. It's over, it's over, it's all over. If you do this to him, nothing will be able to undo it. It's stupid, it's stupid. The mourners couldn't believe it. ”

"Mother, he doesn't know. Why should the queen mother be so worried? Guo Kun shouted.

"How do you know he doesn't? Yes? Shen Akui scolded angrily, his voice became sharp, and his expression became extremely angry. Guo Kun had never seen his mother look like this, disappointed and angry, like an angry old female cat.

"I ...... I guess he doesn't know. If he had known, how could he have spared me? Guo Kun muttered.

"Do you think he'll spare you? Lin Jue is such a shrewd person, he will pretend not to know if he knows, he is waiting for you to continue to make mistakes, and then depose you in one fell swoop. He wants the world to see that you are the first to do it, and that you are ungrateful, understand? The Queen Mother shouted coldly.

Guo Kun crossed his hands and said, "That...... So what to do? So he got it? ”

The Queen Mother took a long breath and thought for a moment: "Originally, I thought there was room for reconciliation, but you were so stupid that you wanted to kill him, so how can you reconcile?" It seems that only final preparations can be made. Kun'er, from now on, you have to follow his will everywhere, you must not have the slightest emotion, and let everyone see that you are a puppet, a puppet controlled by Lin Jue. Secretly, we can gather strength and wait for the opportunity to deliver a thunderous blow. ”

Guo Kun wondered: "Can the queen mother speak more clearly, I don't understand it." ”

The Queen Mother said: "I will teach you, I want to be clear, and I will talk about it in detail tomorrow." By the way, tomorrow I will call your sister into the palace, and I will say that I want to see her. It's not early, and the mourning family is resting. Remember, don't show any more silence, if you want to be the emperor, from now on, listen to the words of the mourners. Unless you don't want to. ”
