Chapter 225: Gifted brother-in-law
Xu Wenhan heard Qin Kongyun's question, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor's intentions are not difficult to understand. Perhaps, we also underestimated the emperor's scheming and mind. The so-called big difference between the second brother must refer to the fact that the emperor not only did not condemn the fourth brother Feiyang and Shenzhong, but had a reward, right? Yes, the emperor should have used his brains very much in this section, have you ever tasted it. ”
"Those who are kings are authoritarian, and they must be rewarded and punished clearly. Speaking from the heart, Feiyang and Shen Zhong were seen by everyone in the world in the battle to destroy the Tang Dynasty, and they all made great contributions. No one can erase this, and the emperor has to admit it. If you don't reward your merits, how can you serve the public? In order to block the mouth of Youyou and convince people's hearts, the emperor must reward meritorious deeds. But the words behind the will of the two people are full of mystery, and there are only four words to put it bluntly: bright rise and dark fall. ”
Yang Zhi sneered: "When it comes to the art of manipulating power and controlling people, the emperor has already played it perfectly, and he can be called the master of this way." Heavy, diligent and upright, he can be a good general. Feiyang is brave and resourceful, and has the talent of a commander. If the two were not implicated in the prince's vain attempt to rebel, they would have a bright future in the army, and they would definitely rise to become a new generation of generals. But now it seems that at least in the emperor's lifetime, it may be difficult for the two of them to turn over. ”
Qin Kongyun was stunned and said: "Shen Chong's transfer from the general of the Tang Dynasty Destroyer, who led 30,000 troops, to be the squire of the military department is equivalent to seizing the military power and not being used. Feiyang was originally commanding 100,000 troops to guard Jinling, but the holy decree was reduced to 30,000, and he was still controlled by Geng Jin. The title of the brave general and the title of the Marquis of Zhennan are all false names that can be withdrawn at any time by the emperor's will, and what is the reward of a little silk and gold? As long as Feiyang dares to make the slightest change because of the emperor's disposition of Wei Su, Geng Jin will wave his army to crush him into powder! ”
Xu Wenhan said calmly: "Brother Fool thinks that the two virtuous brothers might as well take a long-term view, and there is no need to worry too much about the fate of the fourth brother and Shen Zheng's future." ”
"From ancient times to the present, the country has always been a faint monarch and a traitor, and the Ming lord is a strong minister and a famous general. Speaking from the heart, the emperor is by no means a dumb king. The emperor's response to the case of the prince's usurpation was timely and decisive, and it did not have much impact on the national strength of Great Xia. Thanks to the work of the third brother, Daxia will not have the worry of Turkic invasion in the north for at least ten years. In today's trend, Daxia has incorporated the wealth of Jiangsu and Zhejiang into the territory. The country is becoming stronger and more stable. The emperor has millions of soldiers, and his ministers are like rain, and the fierce generals are like clouds. Aside from King Ning and King Kang, the two princes who have commanded the army for many years, Geng Jin, Zhou Ting, Zeng Yingming and other famous generals of the Xia Army are in their prime. All have the ability to be a commander on their own. A new generation of stars such as Geng Chao, Ye Chuang, and Wang Wenguang have also emerged. In other words, although the emperor is eager to know people and be good at his duties, he has not yet reached the point where he has to use it for flying and heavy, and he is in a situation where he can and cannot use it. And although the country is strong now, Great Xia is strong. However, the territory is limited to half of China, and there is still a long way to go if the world is to be reunified. is because the emperor's handling of Feiyang and Shen has nothing to do with the name of rabbits and dead dogs, and birds are all hidden, and the two of them don't have that weight for the time being. ”
took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and continued: "What is the emperor's dragon body, he naturally knows it, otherwise why would he recall King Ning and King Kang?" Keep all four princes by your side? Isn't it that the emperor knows that his time is running out, and he wants to do his best for the rest of his life to cultivate a successor who can rest assured to entrust the country? The words of the third brother are to the point. In the emperor's lifetime, flying and heavy will inevitably suffer some troubles, that's for sure. In order to ensure the stability of the country's inheritance. The emperor will carefully select a group of outstanding young talents to keep for his children and grandchildren. Isn't this the case with the appointment of the third brother today? I dare say that in the years that followed, there were few opportunities for young generals under the age of 30 to be promoted, or even no chance at all. But Fei Yang and Shen Zheng led the troops to fight again, but it was inevitable! It's not a bad thing for young people to experience more setbacks. ”
Qin Kongyun nodded abruptly and said, "In this way, the emperor's will about the fourth brother and Shen Zheng is really mysterious, and it also implies love?" I hope the two of them can calm down and endure loneliness, but don't do anything stupid out of righteous indignation! …… We must remind both of them in due course! Right! It's best to fix the book separately and send someone over now! ”
Yang Zhi frowned and said, "The emperor is not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?" Could it be that you can now determine what other successors the emperor has? This time the crown prince was defeated and rebellious. The Emperor was already wary of the three of us brothers, and had begun to try to divide and conquer. No matter how huge and tight your Qin Clan's organization is, how many of the emperor's secret agents are lurking in it, can you tell it clearly? Why rush to get the pigtails to be grabbed? ”
Xu Wenhan sighed: "What the third brother said is very true. Feiyang and Shen are not pawns that the emperor is eager to dispose of at the moment. At least until the prince's case is concluded before it is clear, the emperor will not do anything to them. Even if the two of them are refrigerated, the emperor has no shortage of consideration for their open-mindedness. We have to remind the two of them to be calmer in a timely manner, that is certain. If the situation is not urgent, it is not too late to wait until the right opportunity arises. ”
As for why there is no will to reward the foolish brother and the third brother this time, it is not difficult to understand. The case of the prince's usurpation is very obscure. How did it end, not only the emperor, but also the emperor, although I was appointed to preside over the trial, I didn't know the bottom of my heart. How do you call the emperor to seal the reward? It is good that the emperor promised the third brother the governor of the Great Xia Customs, but what is the importance of issuing the decree later? What's more, when the third brother and the princess were preparing to get married, the emperor's face was not very good-looking, and it was inappropriate to order the seal at this time. ”
Yang Zhikou retorted: "You can't say that. How did the case of the crown prince's usurpation end, the emperor's relevant will has actually set the tone. Zhao Tianyang died without proof as soon as he died, and there was no doubt that the main culprit's basin was buckled on his head. Wei Su and the three marquis of the Li family became accomplices alongside, and the prince only lightly pointed out that he was held hostage by them. The eldest brother also said just now that the emperor is by no means a foolish person with a quick head. It can be seen that the emperor is unwilling and does not want to kill. The three marquis of the Li family accumulated virtue because of their ancestors, and the words of the first emperor are still in their ears, which cannot be killed, and Wei Su is afraid that it is not so easy to kill. The crown prince Zhao Heng has been deposed, but there is still quite a lot of hope in the government and the opposition, the emperor categorically will not let the tiger return to the mountain and sentence him to exile Biansai, if it is great, he will be given to commit suicide, and he will be sentenced to life imprisonment. In the final analysis, this usurpation case is destined to be thunderous and rainy, and in the end, a few people will die. But before the case is concluded, if someone dares to jump out stupidly to touch the emperor's moldy head and cry out for the prince and his party, it will be tantamount to looking for their own death. To put it mildly, Yang doesn't know how many lives he has saved. What a great merit you have made! ”
Are there still few who die at your hands? But this statement is not false. Xu Wenhan and Qin Kongyun couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
Qin Kongyun said with a smile: "It is rumored that you are brave and ruthless, even if you make this great merit, it is still inevitable that you will be suspected of being dusty." ”
Yang Zhi said disapprerovingly: "I don't care much about what outsiders think of me. My original intention of shooting Zhao Tianyang in the first place. It's just to save Wei Su's life. Thinking about it carefully, I also inadvertently created a great opportunity for the prince to completely turn the tables, but Zhao Heng's house was too different after all, and he couldn't make good use of it, and he deserved not to be a big deal. ”
Qin Kongyun asked in confusion, "How do you say this?" ”
"I've thought of this section for a long time. The third brother did not exaggerate. Xu Wenhan said: "The prince's way of scheming power change is indeed like a child who has not yet entered the door. Since Zhou Ting's mutiny in the name of curfew, the prince has been completely confused. didn't think about it at all, why could Zhou Ting do that? And why do you dare to do that? I didn't even think that the emperor had already come out of his shell, and he blindly believed that the emperor was seriously ill and still in control, and only knew that the three thousand inner court guards who were holding Zhao Tian's unstable army were trapped in the palace! Until the news that the army was besieging the palace and the emperor appeared outside the palace came, the prince thought that the general trend had gone and everything was lost, and he only resigned himself to his fate and let others slaughter him. The third brother blatantly shot Zhao Tianyang, if the prince reacted quickly, he should immediately realize that this was indeed a God-given opportunity to turn the tables! As long as the emperor on the sickbed in the palace bites to death, he is the real body. Biting Zhao Tianyang to death is the culprit of the chaos, pretending to lead a group of guards to kill the generals to confront the forbidden army around the palace, and after deliberately verifying it carefully, he will sincerely stage a live drama of father and son recognition with the emperor outside the palace. ”
"Hey, hey! In this case, what excuse does the emperor have to depose the crown prince? What other excuse is there to condemn Wei Su and the three marquis of the Li family? When the situation subsides, all the blame can be put on Zhao Tianyang's head, and the theme of detaining loyalty and respecting his father will slowly be cleared. Of course, the emperor is definitely not so easy to deceive, but even though the emperor knows that it will take a lot of time and a lot of brains to take care of the prince and his henchmen. However, as long as the position of the crown prince is temporarily guaranteed. Wei Su and the Li clan are still in power, and the prince's team is fine. Even if something happens in the future, there is no worry about a complete collapse! Compared with the mud that has become a mess in the hands of the emperor that can be rubbed at will, isn't it ten thousand times better? ”
Qin Kongyun couldn't help but be moved: "It seems that a thick face and a black heart and quick scheming are the necessary qualities to become an emperor." Unfortunately, not everyone has the talent for this. The old powerful forces in Guanzhong and Jincheng were originally the foundation on which the prince depended, but this time he was implicated because of the prince, and he must have to shed his skin if he didn't die. ”
Yang Zhi shook his head and said, "Some things are not as complicated as you think. Although I don't know who Huang Jixian, a wealthy businessman in Xianyang, and Guo Pei, a wealthy businessman in Jincheng, are, the emperor is really enough to lift them up. If you think about it with your ass, you know that these two benevolent brothers should be the representatives of the old and powerful forces in Guanzhong and Jincheng. The biggest capital of the chaebols in the two places is nothing more than the strong capital of land and grain. The emperor has not yet completely gotten rid of the confidence to rely on them. Mo said that there is already a Qin clan, and my Yang clan has also taken a slight rudimentary shape, the emperor will not put all his eggs in one basket, he will not before, he will not now, and he will not really move them for a long time in the future. The charges mentioned in the holy decree are all unwarranted, and the emperor took the opportunity of disposing of the three marquis of the Li family to weaken the old powerful forces in the two places, and in order to scare them, he knocked on a bamboo pole worth millions of taels of silver, and he would release them. ”
Speaking of this, I only heard Ah Fu say outside the door: "Young Master, His Royal Highness King Yue is visiting!" said that he had been ordered to go to the old lady's mansion to see the princess, and he came to ask for a glass of wine. ”
At this time, it was already the time of the lantern, why did Zhao Qi come at this time? The three of them glanced at each other, and Yang Zhi sneered: "Since the banquet of the ministers a few years ago, I have never heard the sound of my brother-in-law's half a fart. Ordered? By the way? That's what the calls talented!
