Chapter 676 Heavenly power is unpredictable

Most of the emperors in the world who are known as wise and martial are also very self-righteous and suspicious. Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, there are no exceptions.

In the hotbed of power, the seeds of suspicion, once planted, only thrive, not disappear. Even fathers, sons, and brothers are their own flesh and blood, and it is difficult to avoid falling into this cruel strangulation situation and cannot extricate themselves.

Perhaps, for the emperors who overlook the common people from above, only when they really leave the west, will they have no choice but to put down the heavy scepter and hand it over to the heir.

And this process of transfer of supreme power has always been the most delicate and dangerous process. If you are not careful, it will cause waves and unpredictable consequences.

In a sense, the position of the crown prince, which seems to be infinitely beautiful and exciting, is exactly where the danger lies.

Throughout the ages, there have been only a few people who have been able to take over the throne without any danger or danger. And most of them have experienced bloodshed, soldiers, palace rebellion, and even death...... If you take it seriously, this is probably a shocking phenomenon.

It has been sixteen years since Liu Ju, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, was canonized as the crown prince. He has grown from an ignorant little prince all the way to where he is today. In addition to secretly measuring whether he has the ability to inherit this empire, part of the emperor's attention is probably to see if he is a person who can continue his governing philosophy well.

Emperor Liu Che's suspicion is so heavy that it can be regarded as a serious one among emperors. There are very few ministers under him who can start and finish well. For more than 30 years, the marquee has changed. The killings were decisive and ruthless, and the number of people who were executed or deposed for various crimes is innumerable.

Whether it is dealing with courtiers, people in the palace, or the successor chosen by himself, once what he does does not conform to the holy will, no one knows what the consequences will be if he looks at him coldly.

Serving such an emperor is the best interpretation of the phrase "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger". Of course, this is only one aspect of him, one side of the desire for absolute power control. The glorious history books, recorded and circulated, are mostly the great achievements of the king and the broad mind. Avoiding mentioning these dark sides that are detrimental to holiness is just a Spring and Autumn brushwork, and it is just left to future generations to comment.

However, although most of the courtiers were trembling and did things honestly, they were afraid that they would be blamed at every turn. But there are also many smart and astute people who have already observed the emperor's thoughts and thoughts. They thought that they had captured the emperor's mind, catered to the holy will, and were opportunistic, so they did not hesitate to use any means to be the bravest tide makers in every wave.

At this time, Jiang Chong was the one who thought he had truly understood the holy will. He saw the opportunity and found the most appropriate entry point. I am confident that from now on, I will be in control of the overall situation of the world!

"What a person who is several years younger than himself can do, can't I, Jiang Chong? …… Yuan Zhao, although you are extremely smart, you have done so many things that ordinary people can't reach, and you are famous all over the world. But you never knew the truth of high merit! How did the three heroes of the early Han dynasty die? You're about to follow in their footsteps, and you don't know it...... What's more, there are countless people who hate you in the open and in the dark, and they have already sharpened their knives, just waiting for Your Majesty to summon them! It's a shame ....... ”

After exiting the main hall, the commander of the embroidered guards quietly buried all his emotions in his heart. While thinking about the appearance of the young marquis in his heart, he strode in the direction of the guard.

Just now, after His Majesty the Emperor had listened to his views on certain matters alone, although he did not show a clear attitude. just said lightly, "Got it".

And that's enough! The fact that the emperor did not express his position just shows that he attaches great importance to it. Sometimes it is more important to put it in your heart than to say it.

The wind and rain were vague, and his clothes were blown, and a young upstart with a vigorous ambition was full of ambition. Once upon a time, Chang'an Weiyang Palace, this glorious royal palace, made him full of mystery in the eyes of countless people watching from afar. And today, he can finally walk in this palace with high spirits, and he no longer has to look up as before.

Even if there is the majesty of the frontier across the four seas, where can it compare with the countless scenery here! As long as he always understands the emperor's mind and grasps the most central authority of this empire, then he Jiang Chong is the most powerful person in Chang'an City.

It's not his hubris. The emperor has made it clear that he will put the safety of the entire Weiyang Palace inside and outside into his hands. Even the actions of the Yulin Army must be reported to the embroidered guards in advance, and they must accept their dispatch to a certain extent.

It's a huge trust, but it's also a huge power. And the reason why he was so trusted and relied on by the emperor was precisely because he had just secretly started playing to the emperor.

Half an hour ago, after retiring everyone in the Yanbo Palace, a young man named Jiang Chong bluntly raised his questions to the emperor.

"Everyone in the world knows that Your Majesty, your dragon body has always been healthy, how can it be that it has been left behind because of a small so-called Gu poison, and it has not been cured for a long time? Hasn't anyone mentioned the incredibleness of this to His Majesty? ”

The rain on Kunming Lake is vast and the smoke and water are vast, and the wind blows the bead curtain and tinkles. Emperor Liu Che, who was reclining on the splendid couch, moved his eyebrows obviously, and he sat up straight.

What do you mean by that? Jiang Chong, what do you want to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

Jiang Chong nodded, although his face was silent, but his heart was already very excited. There is no doubt that the emperor's unnatural movements betrayed the shock in his heart. His own bold speculation has succeeded in attracting his attention. Next, it's up to him to see if his words can make him believe it.

"Your Majesty, what I want to say is that inside and outside this palace, there are probably people who don't want Your Majesty's dragon body to heal as soon as possible, so they have done something out of it, so that it has been delayed so far, and Your Majesty is suffering from illness! This is a doubt that has been in my heart for a long time, but I have never dared to show it, and I risk death to say it today in order to repay His Majesty's kindness...... If he is punished by His Majesty because of this, Jiang Chong is also willing. May Your Majesty be wise! ”

The young commander of the embroidered guard gave a loyal look to his handsome face, and he fell to the ground, his passionate voice already tinged with sorrow. Outside the main hall, the thunder was rolling over the Kunming Pool, and the emperor was startled, and his face couldn't help but change greatly.

"Jiang Chong! Who said that to you? ”

"Your Majesty, no one has said anything about lowly office! These are Jiang Chong's own speculations...... Although he is young, he has also seen many people who are sinister. Especially since the emperor took charge of the embroidered guards, he investigated and prosecuted traitors and investigated lawbreakers, and he had a deeper understanding of the intrigues and tricks in the world. It is precisely because of this that the lowly position has become suspicious of His Majesty's condition. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Chong secretly observed the emperor's face and knew it in his heart. The voice became more determined.

"Although he doesn't know much about medicine, he understands a truth. There are countless famous doctors in the world gathered in the Weiyang Palace, and His Majesty's illness, according to their medical case, is not a big problem. However, what is strange is that even this hidden disease, which is not a big deal in their mouths, has caused your Majesty to have been unable to move all the time, and it is difficult to return to the way it used to be...... This in itself is quite puzzling. It stands to reason that these imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital have always boasted of their ability to live and give birth to bones, but they have never had a good cure for His Majesty's minor illness. This is one of the places that makes the lowly people suspicious! ”

The emperor's expression became more and more solemn. The anxiety that his body had not been able to heal for many days, coupled with his suspicious personality, made him believe what Jiang Chong said at once. After a moment of silence, when he spoke again, he was already filled with supreme majesty.

"Keep talking! Tell all the conjectures in your mind...... It doesn't matter who is involved. Even if you say it wrong, I will forgive you without sin! ”

Jiang Chong stood up with the emperor's gesture. He was full of energy, his eyes were shining, and the long-hidden edge was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

"Your Majesty! It is suspected that someone has done something to take advantage of His Majesty's occasional illness to exaggerate and alarmist...... And then what did he do to His Majesty's illness in secret, which caused the dragon body to not be cured! His wolf ambition is clearly exposed, and it is really a heinous crime, and the crime is unforgivable...... Your Majesty! Please order a thorough investigation! ”

Thunder thunderclapped, shaking the heavens and the earth, and dark clouds rolled and obscured the sky. Many people in Chang'an City raised their heads at this moment, glanced at the sky, and prayed in their hearts that there would be no more heavy rain, otherwise the flood would come back and the consequences would be serious.

The emperor didn't have the heart to care about the rain at this moment, he stared at the eyes of the young favored minister, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't move freely, he would have stood up and walked over. Mixed with the thunder, he shouted a question.

"Who in this world would dare to be so bold? Who has such a skill?! ”

"Your Majesty, ordinary people naturally don't have such skills...... But, there are people who can! Moreover, there is such a motivation ......! ”

After saying this, Jiang Chong lowered his head again, waiting for the emperor's decision. At the right time and the right opportunity, I did what I wanted to do the most. He believed that the emperor would never let himself down.

Sure enough, after a long silence. His Majesty the Emperor spoke. The voice was high and deep, as if it came from the depths of the firmament.

"From this day forward, I give you the greatest power...... Go ahead! Whoever it is, you have the right to investigate ....... ”
