Chapter 241: Murder without seeing blood

The emperor played too well with this hand

Either don't do it, or do it thoroughly. The purpose and significance of the emperor's actions are self-evident.

Since ancient times, in any powerful dynasty, there have been dissident factions in the temple. The people of Great Xia are martial, but not everyone is warlike. Wei Su was widely revered for his years of commanding troops to defend the border against foreign humiliation and his ability to exercise strict self-discipline, and even military officials like him, who had made their fortunes in war, tried to stage a coup d'état to change the policy of Daxia, which was frenzied with foreign expansion. It can be seen from this that the moderate war-weariness faction is not without a market in both the government and the opposition. Although Wei Su's plot did not succeed, it definitely gave the emperor a sobering wake-up call.

The emperor's greatest helplessness is that he is unforgiving. The biggest hidden danger of the Great Xia is the outbreak of civil strife in Xiao Wall. The emperor's greatest wish is to train an excellent successor during his lifetime to inherit and expand his uncontested career. The Emperor must ensure that a very stable but still powerful Great Xia is entrusted to his successor, otherwise nothing will be possible. Therefore, even if I was unwilling in my heart, I had to change my course.

After the emperor foiled the prince's conspiracy, everything was complicated, and he didn't have time to free his hands, and he didn't want Wei Su's father and son to provide him with a gorgeous and sharp turn by mistake.

Xu Wenhan accompanied the whole process, witnessed this super emperor show, and sighed with admiration on his face: "Seeing things clearly, being orderly, and making decisions immediately, it is really a great wisdom and a person who has been a monarch throughout the ages, how many people can have such a city spirit?" ”

Qin Kongyun sighed with relief: "I don't want the emperor to miss the old feelings so much, and treat Wei Su in public to express his wrongdoings, it is like giving an edict to the people of the world." The emperor's broad-mindedness is really admirable, but it is ridiculous that we and others have searched the intestines and scraped their stomachs before, and they are all self-speculating, all of which are groundless. People are not plants and trees, and even if Feiyang has all kinds of doubts, it is time to put his mind at ease, right? ”

Yang Zhi glanced at him, and finally held back the words when they came to his mouth: You can be ruthless when you know how to be ruthless, you can endure when you are ruthless, you can be ruthless when you are ruthless, and you can endure when you are forbearing. Almost every emperor who wears the halo of "male lord" has a deep understanding of the way of thick black, which is just a basic quality that must be possessed. The so-called knowing son Mo Ruo's father, no wonder the old fox of Duke Qin does not allow you to become officials

In Yang Zhi's view, the emperor's show is a show, and the motive and purpose are very simple, nothing more than the words "practical needs", which are completely out of line with words such as mind and character. The emperor seized the opportunity to visit Weisu with precision and experience, and put on such a posture by retreating, which could not only appease the people's hearts and build virtue, but also completely occupy the initiative. It seems to be aggrieved, but in fact, it can be greatly drawn, why not do such a good thing of killing two birds with one stone? As long as Wei Feiyang disobeys the emperor's will in the slightest, he is an ungrateful traitor and thief who will be condemned by everyone in the world

High. It's really high.

No wonder the emperor did not receive him. Why did the emperor receive him? Yang Zhi's mood at the moment was very complicated. There is a faint sense of relaxation, empty loss, and inexplicable chagrin, and a chill wells up from the bottom of my heart. And the chill in his heart can be said to have been bought from Ma Cheng's mouth for a thousand taels of silver. The emperor is not a saint after all, and although his acting skills are perfect and the results are wonderful, he is not reconciled. And it's very unwilling

Xu Wenhan is good at power and scheming, Yang Zhi is silent, his face is cloudy, of course he can't hide his eyes. Persuaded: "Third brother, you think deeply, if Feiyang doesn't really want to support the army and stand on his own, can he end up like this, wouldn't he and the emperor have their own place?" If the fourth brother really has such scheming, even if he is recalled to Beijing in the future, it should be more than enough for self-protection. Anyway, it's a good thing after all, why should the third brother be too concerned? ”

Yang Zhideng was relieved: As Xu Wenhan said, if Wei Feiyang was just trying to save his father from the beginning, then his goal has been perfectly achieved. In the future, after being recalled to Beijing, even if the emperor has to settle accounts after slapping himself, he will not be so fast. Besides, there are three righteous brothers Xu Wenhan, Qin Kongyun and my Yang Zhi, supported by wise men, chaebols, and strongmen, who dares to take him? The emperor may not dare to touch him

Qin Kongyun couldn't help but be surprised when Xu Wenhan mentioned this: "This turmoil, Feiyang didn't leave any tricks, and there was no truth that the emperor openly dealt with him, and the fourth brother was sixteen years old, and his bravery, strategy, and courage were all outstanding, and his reputation in the future will definitely be far better than his father."

"So I say it's a good thing, especially for Flying." Xu Wenhan nodded and said, "Two virtuous brothers, don't you hear that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it?" At least within three or five years, my brother must be able to calm down and endure loneliness. ”

Yang Zhimu Ran said: "The emperor can be described as painstaking, and now I know what kind of business Yan Fang took people out of the palace early this morning." ”

Xu Wenhan smiled bitterly: "The emperor is conclusive in the prison of the Criminal Department today, and he has counted Wei Su's great military exploits, but he has never said that he is innocent. Even if Wei Su is released and returns home, it will be difficult to be free again in this life, which is expected. The emperor ordered Yan Fang, the general of the inner court guard, to personally lead 100 guards and 20 chamberlains out of the palace early this morning, what do you think you will do? It can be seen that the emperor had already made up his mind last night. can't be killed or released, if the entire General's Mansion is not classified as a prison, how can the emperor rest assured? I dare to assert that there is no need for the emperor to issue a decree to deal with it, Wei Su will definitely die soon, and the emperor at this level must have thought of it. ”

Qin Kongyun said in shock: "What does the eldest brother mean ......? Could it be that he was worried that the emperor would be unwilling and would secretly send someone to poison Wei Su? …… Didn't you say that the emperor swore to the sky in public that he wanted to grow old with the monarchs and ministers of Weisu? If you don't joke, how can the emperor lose his trust to the people of the world? ”

Yang Zhi said coldly: "I'd rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world bear me." Haven't you heard of this phrase? ”

Xu Wenhan shook his head and said, "That's not it." Since the emperor has pretended to be generous, he will not do that poisonous and dirty thing again. In fact, the emperor doesn't need to be like this. ”

"The emperor intends to do it for the people of the world this time, then Wei Su can't die in the short term, otherwise it's not the emperor who kills it, but the emperor kills it, and today's prison visit will be meaningless. The emperor knows the way of the subordinates, Wei Su has followed the emperor for decades, and he is a loyal and upright person in his bones, and the emperor knows him too well. Wei Su has been suffering from stomach cold for many years, and his diet is so little that he is skinny. For the emperor for many years of conquest everywhere, he was deeply worried and even couldn't sleep at night. How can you be a long-lived person? ”

"According to Weisu's temperament, if he failed to rebel, he was extremely lenient by the emperor, and he was ashamed of the emperor. Not only failed to help the prince ascend the throne ahead of schedule, but tired him and was deposed, and the prince was ashamed. His daughter Concubine Wei is known as a gentle and virtuous lady, and she was originally the crown princess, but she was so tired that she died for no reason, and Concubine Wei was ashamed. The only son Feiyang became famous at a young age and ranked among the important generals of the feudal territory, but he was so tired that his fate was ruined and his future was worrying, and Yu Feiyang was ashamed. How long can a person who is already sick and broken, and who has added these many tormented knots in his heart, last? ”

After a pause, he sighed heavily: "The emperor swears by the heavens in prison today, and he will not hurt Wei Su in his lifetime, and the monarch and ministers will grow old together, which is indeed true." But behind these words, I am afraid there is another deep meaning. ”

"What else does it mean?" Qin Kongyun thought about it for a while, and he already understood the reason. He said with a gloomy expression: "Since the defeat of the crown prince, Wei Su has already had the will to die. Because he saw that the prince was not dead, in order to save the prince's life, he wanted to bear all the blame alone, and did his best to exonerate the prince, so he supported himself until now. Speaking from the heart, at this point, it is difficult for Wei Su to give himself a reason to continue living. There is another meaning behind the emperor's words,...... If Wei Su is not allowed to seek death, Wei Su is bent on committing suicide, that is, the emperor who resists the decree understands Wei Su, why doesn't Wei Su understand the emperor? As soon as he dies, it's a hundred, and that's just it. If this angers the emperor, it is difficult to say what the fate of the crown prince and the Wei family will be."

Yang Zhi sneered: "Do you still think that the emperor is broad-minded? Do you still think that the emperor is lenient and generous? Why use a knife to kill? Why blood? People can't survive, can't die, knowing that they are being used by others to play with the palm, not only can people only bury themselves in their stomachs forever and can't say it clearly, but also be grateful to live one more moment in this world, that is, to suffer one more moment of torment, this is called life is better than death, do you say it is more cruel than killing him? More exciting? ”

Yang Zhi's words can be said to be unobstructed, and Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun were also silent for a while.

The three of them were silent for a long time, and Xu Wenhan suddenly smiled: "Are we too embarrassed for the emperor?" Killing Wei Su said that he was unwise and unjust, and sparing Wei Su said that he was even more cruel, and he couldn't do anything but let us say half a good word, and this emperor was also embarrassed. When also? Fate? Luck also? He does what he should do when he wants, in fact, there is nothing wrong with the emperor. What is a faint king? That's when it's not the right time, and it's not the right thing to do. ”

Yang Zhi naturally thought of a familiar sentence, which was said by the British Prime Minister Palmerston in the 19th century: There are only eternal interests, no eternal friends.

If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. Yang Zhi had to agree with Xu Wenhan's words, the emperor was right, he was indeed right. If it is me, can I achieve the status of an emperor?

Xu Wenhan's words made Qin Kongyun and Yang Zhi look at each other and smile. Qin Kongyun said with a smile: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it seems that the emperor is not so easy to do. The emperor treats Wei Su like this, let alone others? The eldest brother was ordered to take charge of the prince's rebellion case, and he can easily deal with it tomorrow. Now we just have to wait and see what happens, and it seems that we can finally relax for a few days. ”

"Easy to cross? I'm afraid it may not be. Xu Wenhan said disapprerovingly: "The emperor is far-sighted, and if he lets Wei Su go like this, the charges against everyone I planned before will be heavy." If my prediction is correct, the emperor will use this as an excuse tomorrow to issue an order to reprimand or even depose me. If I am not yet old enough to stand up, if the reward is too fast, how will the new king use me in the future? Now there are at least seven or eight important ministers who have entered the cabinet as ministers, and there is no other one, just for the separation of powers."

"It's true that you and I will wait and see what happens, but it's easy but rare. King Ning and King Kang will soon arrive in Beijing, and now that the position of the crown prince is vacant, a new round of competition for the crown prince will be staged immediately. Now people in Chang'an City know that you and I are brothers, who dares to look at it? I'm afraid that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, you and I want to be quiet for the time being, but we can't."

glanced at Yang Zhi meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Brother Fool only cared about talking to the two virtuous brothers, but he forgot to pass on the decree. The emperor's edict: Order Yang Zhi, the Marquis of the Flying Tiger, to enter the palace tomorrow afternoon before the beginning of the morning"
