Chapter 716: Grace
"The third son of the first emperor was expelled from Jianzhou at a young age and went to a remote and impoverished place to become a vassal. In the blink of an eye, five years have passed. The descendants of the royal family, living in hardship, trapped in poor mountains and bad waters, pitiful! ”
Although the first emperor had his last words, the three county kings were not allowed to set foot in Jianzhou City for the rest of their lives. However, this time and that time. Several years passed, and Weichen implored His Majesty to recall the three county kings. ”
"The first emperor passed the throne to His Majesty over his heirs, and he understood the righteousness and was admirable. Should Your Majesty also think about the heirs of the former emperor, so that they can be placed in a decent place? ”
"When I think of the descendants of the royal family, trapped in the poor mountains and bad waters, the old minister's heart is dripping blood!"
Some old courtiers wept bitterly and shouted loudly.
Basically, the people who stood up to speak were all old ministers of the two dynasties, and they had been officials in the court since Emperor Taining, Dezong.
These old ministers have feelings for Emperor Dezong Taining, and they have deep feelings.
Emperor Dezong Taining was a loving emperor and a relatively easy emperor to get along with, and his temper and personality were excellent among emperors.
The biggest disadvantage is that the endurance is too weak, and he vomits blood and falls into a coma at every turn.
In the final analysis, life was too smooth, and he ascended to the throne without experiencing major setbacks.
However, the border is restless, and the civil strife continues, so that as soon as he becomes the emperor, he is under the pressure of Mount Tai.
Torture yourself to death!
Poor thing!
Emperor Dezong Taining is pitiful, and his children are even more pitiful.
"I beg Your Majesty to recall the three county kings and make proper arrangements. To repay the first Emperor Longen! ”
"The first emperor ordered the three county kings to become vassals for the sake of His Majesty. The first emperor wholeheartedly planned for His Majesty and for the imperial court, and when he thought that his ministers could not take care of the first emperor's heirs, he was quite ashamed. ”
"Your Majesty, please be gracious!"
"Your Majesty, please be gracious!"
Several old ministers knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.
The scene was very awkward for a while, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
"What is this for? At present, the imperial court is using troops, and the major military affairs are piling up, so you don't want to share your Majesty's worries, and even harass Your Majesty with inconsequential trivial matters. What kind of heart are you at peace with? ”
"You fart! When did the matter of the three county kings become an inconsequential trivial matter. They are the heirs of the first emperor, who understood the righteousness and sent the three county kings out of Jianzhou City with tears. Shall we just enjoy all this with peace of mind? Why don't you want to think about it, how to repay the first emperor's Longen? In my opinion, recalling the three county kings is the greatest reward. ”
"Ridiculous! The first emperor sent away the three county kings for the sake of the court and the imperial power, and he didn't want to happen one day when his relatives and enemies would be happy. I don't want the imperial power to shake and leave hidden dangers. Ignoring the painstaking efforts of the first emperor, you forced Your Majesty to recall the three county kings, and you are clearly ill-intentioned, you are adding chaos and shaking the imperial power! ”
"Don't want to put a big hat on the old man! The old man is loyal, and the world can learn from it. What are you afraid of? The three county kings are young, and the eldest Bushan county king is only in his teens, what can they do? If you are a good student, you may not be able to become a loyal servant of the court. ”
"The court doesn't need loyal ministers with the status of three county kings, the court only needs three county kings who keep to themselves."
"In order to keep to yourself, do you take it for granted that you will watch the three county kings suffer in a remote and poor place? What is your conscience? You're all white-eyed wolves! ”
"Presumptuous! You are disrespectful to Your Majesty, humiliating Your Majesty, and a capital crime! ”
"Then give the old man death!"
A few old courtiers, looking generous and righteous.
The scene became very stiff, a bit difficult to ride.
Emperor Xiao Chengwen roared angrily: "Shut up!" What's the noise? What are the ideas, the transcript is uploaded, although it is free to speak. Retreat! ”
He brushed his sleeves away, furious.
The courtiers were divided into two factions and were hostile to each other.
Obviously, it was still a faction before, because the three county kings left by the first emperor successfully turned against each other.
Of course......
There are no eternal enemies.
Perhaps at some point, the two factions will be able to merge and deal with new political opponents together.
……
Emperor Xiao Chengwen realized that something was wrong.
mentioning the three county kings for no reason is more strange than strange.
He vaguely suspected that Yan Yunge was playing tricks behind it.
Therefore, Jin Wuwei was ordered to investigate the matter strictly.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the political hall hurriedly sent a report.
"Your Majesty, it's not good! A few days earlier, Shi Wen, the Marquis of Pingwu, suddenly sent troops to invade the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty. ”
"Shi Wen, what does he want to do? I have ordered him to keep to himself, and not to raise troops without my will. Bring it up, and I'll see what he's trying to do. Can Shi Wen himself have a book? ”
"I haven't been on the book!"
Emperor Xiao Chengwen looked at the content of the report and gritted his teeth in anger.
"Pingwu Hou Shi Wen, Yan Yunge, these two people haven't been clean in private! At this time, Shi Wen was still contributing to Yan Yunge's troops to contain Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses. What benefits did Yan Yunge give him to make him die for her? ”
Bang!
He slammed his fist on the table, his cheeks flushed with rage.
"Your Majesty, Shi Wen's move is clearly against the imperial court, is he trying to rebel?"
"Shut up!" Emperor Xiao Chengwen reprimanded angrily.
In the current situation, how can it be easy to accuse a local minister of rebellion, which is to recruit more enemies and opponents for himself.
The imperial court can fight at two ends, but it can't fight at three ends and four heads.
There were so many soldiers and horses, and there was not so much food and grass to supply.
The requisition of the people's husbands is boiling with public resentment.
In particular, it is spring ploughing season.
The requisition of the people will inevitably affect this year's spring ploughing, and then this year's autumn harvest.
Everything is a chain reaction.
There has never been anything that stands alone.
So......
Even if Shi Wen's actions are seriously a rebellion, the court has to be silent and is not allowed to spit out the word 'rebellion'.
The imperial court did not need more enemies.
"Send a letter to Shi Wen and ask him to defend himself and explain what is going on."
The officer was ordered to step back.
In private, Emperor Xiao Chengwen ordered Jin Wuwei to go to Yuzhou to investigate Shi Wen.
"What benefits did Yan Yunge give him, let him take risks, ignore the orders of the imperial court, and throw aside my three orders and five shens."
His eyes were red with rage.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Suddenly there was a coughing sound.
Grandpa Fei's heart lifted up in an instant.
Scared half to death.
Cough......
reminded him of the days many years ago, when His Majesty's body had not yet recovered.
At that time, His Majesty often had a cough.
"Your Majesty?"
He was worried and terrified.
Your Majesty can't be guilty of the same old mistakes.
"The old slave will send someone to ask for a doctor."
"You don't need to ask for a doctor."
Emperor Xiao Chengwen desperately stopped coughing and waved his hand again and again.
"I'm fine! A moment of anger will be like this. I need to cultivate my self-cultivation and avoid getting angry. Today, I broke my vows, and I became angry because of a small thing, which caused me to cough. Not in the future. ”
Father-in-law Fei was still not at ease, "Is Your Majesty really okay?" Let's let the Imperial Doctor take a look! ”
Emperor Xiao Chengwen still shook his head and refused, "In the current situation, my every move will affect the war ahead and the hearts of the court. Let's not be busy for now, and then we will deal with the current matter. ”
"Those old courtiers are really not things. At this time, there is a disturbance, and let His Majesty recall the three county kings, isn't this adding to the chaos. Or let Jin Wuwei beat them. ”
"Ridiculous! As soon as Jin Wuwei moved, I really became an ungrateful person, and I was honest. At that time, the courtiers will not say anything, but they will definitely muttered in their hearts. There are even people who mistakenly think that I am going to kill them all and poison the three county kings. ”
Father-in-law Fei was so anxious, "What should I do then?" Do you want to watch those old courtiers make a mess? ”
"I have my own opinions. The imperial history of the courtiers is not a decoration, the old courtiers make a fuss, and someone has to deal with them. ”
What matters now is, how many tricks has Yan Yunge prepared?
In order to turn the tables, she really did everything.
Yes!
Yan Yunge really does everything.
She even alarmed the Empress Dowager Tao through various connections and clues.
Empress Dowager Tao sent someone to ask Emperor Xiao Chengwen to come over and speak.
At this critical juncture, it doesn't seem like a good omen.
Mother and son met and exchanged pleasantries.
Empress Dowager Tao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "This palace went to the imperial garden yesterday to relax, and I was a little out of breath after walking a few steps. Only then did Hongu realize that Hongu was really old, and soon he couldn't even walk. Recently, I have thought of your brother, and he has not been allowed to be buried until now, which is really pitiful. My wife and children are not around, and there is always something missing in the annual sacrifice. ”
Emperor Xiao Chengwen pursed his lips, his eyes calm, "What does the queen mother want to say?" ”
Mrs. Tao looked miserable, "Your brother is bitter!" He has been an emperor for several years, and he has not lived a single day of stability. The movement in the court, the main palace heard about it. There are some things that are inconvenient for the palace to say, but the palace hopes that the emperor can recall the three children, they are all your own nephews and descendants of the royal family, so why not suffer in the poor mountains and bad waters. ”
After speaking, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and her mood was extremely low.
"The queen mother wants me to recall my three nephews?"
Empress Dowager Tao looked at him dumbfoundedly, "This palace knows that you have worries in your heart. Bengu promised that if Bengong lived for a day, he would not allow those three children to mess around. ”
Emperor Xiao Chengwen lowered his head and sneered.
After a moment, he looked up and asked, "If I don't agree, what will happen to the Queen Mother?" ”
"Why don't you agree? You have secured the throne, and the key positions in the court are all your people. Your three nephews pose no threat to you. ”
Empress Dowager Tao looked very anxious.
"This palace is old, and he can't walk anymore, and he doesn't have a few years to live. The greatest wish is nothing more than to tease the grandchildren, and the children and grandchildren are around the knees. Can you grant this wish to Hongu? When he passed away in the Japanese palace, he could also smile at Jiuquan and go to find your father. ”
Emperor Xiao Chengwen's face sank instantly, "What does the queen mother mean, if I don't agree to recall my three nephews, will the queen mother die without turning a blind eye?" The queen mother threatened me with life and death, but I wanted to ask, what kind of heart did the queen mother have? ”
