Chapter 375 [The Overall Situation is Important] (II)

Wen Chenghuan pounced and knelt down again: "Long live my emperor, long live, Dakang's situation today is only presided over by His Majesty!" ”

Although Zhou Ruiyuan does not have any expectations for the old emperor to govern, he is stronger than people, and if he does not choose to keep his voice down and go with the flow in the current situation, not only his life, but also the lives of his whole family. Zhou Ruiyuan echoed: "The Taishi is right, only His Majesty presiding over the overall situation can convince the ministers and make the people of Dakang feel at ease." ”

Long Xuanen looked at the two of them, laughed, and then coughed violently.

Zhou Ruiyuan and Wen Chenghuan were uneasy in their hearts, but they couldn't help but think that the old emperor's body should be bad, and he experienced great ups and downs in his last years, even if he had the ambition to regain power, he was afraid that his energy would not come.

Qiqi helped Long Xuanen gently tap on his back to help him ease his breath.

Long Xuanen said: "I already have more than enough heart but not enough strength, but fortunately I have your courtiers." ”

Both of them were relieved when they heard this, it seemed that the old emperor really didn't mean to kill them all.

Long Xuanen didn't know what these two people did after their abdication, but he was not a fool, after this catastrophe, he suddenly realized that he saw the current status quo of Dakang, if he was restored, he would take revenge on the past, just afraid that everyone in the ministers would be in danger, Dakang might be over, Long Xuanen was not confused, as a descendant of the Long family, he didn't want the foundation of his ancestors to be lost in his own hands. Today's Dakang is in pieces, and the remaining territory is like a fragile vase, trembling in his hand, and the slightest carelessness will shatter it. What's even more troublesome is that his trembling hands can no longer hold it steadily, and he doesn't know when he will completely let go.

It is precisely to see the deep crisis of Dakang. Long Xuanen decided to let go of the hatred in his heart and put the overall situation first as the monarch.

Zhou Ruiyuan and Wen Chenghuan knelt on the ground at the same time: "Weichen is willing to do his best and die!" ”

Long Xuanen said: "I believe in your loyalty, and I know your ability, Ji Feihua has brought disaster to the country and the people, and Dakang has been like a serious illness after this catastrophe." I see the current situation of Dakang, my heart is inexplicably painful, Dakang is not only my great well-being, but also your home country, the rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible, I feel deeply responsible, but with the strength of me alone, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the sky. You are all my former ministers, what has happened to Dakang over the years, you know in your hearts that I should have been living for the rest of my life, but I was forced to go out of the mountain again, I don't know if you courtiers are still willing to contribute to Dakang? Will you serve me? ”

Wen Chenghuan bowed to the ground: "The liver and brain are smeared on the ground, and it is not a pity to die!" ”

Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Born to be a well-off person. Death is the ghost of great health! ”

Long Xuanen nodded with satisfaction, and he said softly: "Sit down!" ”

Zhou Ruiyuan and Wen Chenghuan were flattered. I know in my heart that I finally escaped today, the two of them have been ministers under His Royal Highness Long Xuanen for many years, and they are very clear about the old emperor's temperament, knowing that he is moody and changes his orders. There is a way that the country is easy to change and difficult to change, who knows if he will settle accounts with them on a whim tomorrow? Companion is like a companion tiger, Long Yelin is just a sick cat in tiger skin, and Long Xuanen is a real tiger, although this tiger is old and decrepit. But after all, the tiger is old and majestic.

Long Xuanen's next words made the two of them feel even more shocked, and he said softly: "The reason why we were able to smash the conspiracy of Ji Feihua and Jian Yuening's mother and son this time is all thanks to Qiqi's cleverness, and also thanks to Hong Beimo and Murong Zhan's loyal courtiers. In recognition of her merits, I plan to canonize her as the King of Yongyang! I don't know what the two lovers think? ”

Zhou Ruiyuan and Wen Chenghuan were stunned when they heard this, they were sure that they had heard correctly, in the history of Dakang since the founding of the country, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be crowned king, is Long Xuanen really confused? He even wants to crown Qiqi as the king! But after thinking about it, there is indeed no suitable candidate in the Dakang royal family today, in several palace changes, dozens of princes and grandsons died and fled, although there are descendants surnamed Long, but it is by no means the descendant of the old emperor, at present, the most qualified to become the prince is only the Zhou King Long Yeqing who was placed under house arrest in Xizhou. The old emperor's decision to crown Qiqi as king must have been made after careful consideration. Of course, they understood that Long Xuan'en was by no means asking for their opinions, but only announcing a decision, and whether others agreed or not, it would not change his will, and in fact they did not dare to raise objections.

Wen Chenghuan said: "Your Majesty is wise, Princess Yongyang is smart and wise, takes into account the overall situation, dares to stand up when Dakang is in danger, and does not hesitate to risk her life to restrain Ji Feihua. ”

Long Xuanen looked at Zhou Ruiyuan meaningfully: "What do you think of Zhou Qing's family?" ”

Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Extraordinary times need to use extraordinary means, Your Majesty is far-sighted, dares to break the stereotype, and does not stick to one pattern to reduce talents, so that Weichen sees the hope of Dakang Zhongxing." ”

Long Xuanen nodded and said: "I know that there must be something in your heart that you can't figure out, since the founding of Da Kang, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be crowned a king, I am the first emperor to do this, it is not that I am more courageous and courageous than the previous emperors, I am not old and confused, let alone an impulsive decision, these descendants of me, I know best, although Qiqi is young, but she has something extraordinary." I'm old, and I'm probably just sticking to the old ways instead of breaking them. canonized Qiqi as the king of Yongyang, hoping that Qiqi could use her wisdom to help Dakang get out of the predicament. He paused and said, "Are you willing to do things for Dakang wholeheartedly?" ”

Zhou Ruiyuan and Wen Chenghuan said at the same time: "I am willing to do my best for Dakang and die." Long Xuanen clenched his right fist, coughed a few times to his lips, and said with a long sigh of relief: "I need to rest, let Qiqi tell you the next thing." ”

Long Xuanen stood up, and Qiqi personally sent him to the curtain, and after he left under the service of the eunuch, Qiqi returned to the Qinzheng Palace. Seeing that the two were still kneeling there, he said softly, "Get up, sit down and talk." ”

This time, the two quickly obeyed her orders.

Qiqi returned to the dragon chair just now and sat down, looking at the two of them quietly with his eyes, Zhou Ruiyuan and Wen Chenghuan, the two important ministers of Dakang, have experienced countless political storms, but they have never encountered such a strange thing today, being stared at by a fourteen-year-old girl, they actually feel their hearts pounding.

Qiqi said: "I know what you think, and I also know what you are worried about and what you are afraid of!" ”

Wen Chenghuan said: "It's not a pity for the old minister to die for Dakang!" ”

Qiqi said: "You should have died!" One sentence made Wen Chenghuan's old face flushed, and he choked and froze there not knowing how to respond.

Qiqi said: "No matter what you have done or thought in the past, it doesn't matter, even if you have a history of aiding and abetting, I can understand that you were forced to do something wrong, and you are not afraid to do anything wrong, I am afraid that you will not repent, in fact, according to the meaning of His Majesty, you will all be beheaded." ”

Wen Chenghuan and Zhou Ruiyuan's just soaked backs broke out in a cold sweat again, Qiqi should not be lying.

Qiqi said: "I asked Majesty why I wanted to kill you, and Majesty said that you were unfaithful to him, and I asked Majesty again, you two may have done things that are sorry for Majesty, but have you ever done anything that is sorry for Dakang?" His Majesty thought for a while, and then shook his head, so I told him, in my opinion, loyalty to Dakang is the real loyal minister, a country first has a country and then the people and finally has a monarch, the same courtier first knows how to love the country, and then knows how to love the people, but loyalty to a certain monarch can be placed in the last one, the sun and the moon alternate, the tide rises and falls, no one can live forever, and no monarch can hold the authority forever. ”

Wen Chenghuan and Zhou Ruiyuan lowered their heads very much, and they didn't dare to look at Qiqi.

Qiqi said: "The promotion, appointment and dismissal of many courtiers are mostly related to internal affairs of the royal family, such as the selection of the crown prince!" Originally, it shouldn't be something you should worry about, you just want to stretch out a hand to come in, thinking that you are choosing Mingjun for Dakang, this is loyalty, but do you think that Mingjun is really suitable for Dakang? Both of you used to be my father's teacher, and now that my father has died, and there are only three of us here, you might as well tell the truth, is my father suitable for this chair? ”

Wen Chenghuan and Zhou Ruiyuan glanced at each other, and their eyes showed panic at the same time, evaluating the merits and demerits of the Son of Heaven was not something they could do.

Qiqi said: "You don't dare to say it, you are afraid of saying the wrong thing, or you are confused by the authorities, but I, a bystander, think that you two teachers should be quite a failure, and the failure is extreme, instead of cultivating my father and emperor into a generation of Ming Jun who can prosper Dakang, but it made him suspicious, narrow-minded, biased listening and believing, and finally was manipulated by Ji Feihua's eunuch thief, becoming an emperor who is not worthy of the name, and becoming a puppet in the hands of the eunuch. ”

Wen Chenghuan and Zhou Ruiyuan showed a look of shame on their faces at the same time, Qiqi didn't say anything wrong, the teaching was not strict, the teacher's fault, they didn't train Long Yelin well. But some people are destined to fail to become Mingjun, and Long Yelin may not be born with this material.

Qiqi said: "I don't want to hold you accountable for this, but to let you recognize your mistakes and shortcomings, both of them are important ministers of Dakang, you are used to seeing the court, both wisdom and vision are much stronger than me, the reason why I agreed to be the king of Yongyang, is not that I have any ambitions as a little woman, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, as the grandson of the Long family, I can't avoid the responsibility that should be borne because of being a woman, if Dakang dies, it is not only the Long family that is unlucky, but also all the people of Dakang." The decline of Dakang to the point where it is today is not only the responsibility of the royal family, should you courtiers ask yourself, have you done your best for Dakang, and whether you really regard Dakang as your home?
