Cutting Power (11)
Guan Wu forgets the way,
"I've found a way to put you at risk."
Gong Changjue only felt a little strange, and said,
"Is the method you found foolproof?"
Guan Wu forgot to say that he was leisurely,
"That's nature."
Guan Wuwu fanned his fan,
"I didn't plan to let you get close to the third prince, I just wanted to test one or two, I don't forget that I won't make a career with a woman."
The palace chief said,
"What about Concubine Yun?"
Guan Wuwu said lightly,
"For her, only by seeing Emperor Yuan die after losing everything can her hatred be appeased."
The palace chief didn't ask much, since Emperor Yuan took power, there have been countless unjust, false and wrongful cases, and most of the court has been replaced.
Assassination, framing, framing, no matter what kind of method, as long as you can block the mouths of the people, and can kill any remarks that reveal that you seek power and usurp the throne and are not worthy of the throne, Emperor Yuan will not hesitate to start.
Yun Guifei hated Emperor Yuan so much, but she was afraid that Yun Guifei was also an orphan of any family.
It's just that now, Emperor Yuan seems to have indeed held all the rights in his hands and reached his peak, but he must also be eaten by the rights.
Although Emperor Yuan was not good at being an emperor, he was good at holding power in his own hands.
But he could not last long, just as sweet springs are easily dried up, lush trees are easily cut down, spirit turtles can die from the burning of divination, and sacred snakes are easily dried and used to pray for rain.
If you live by your strengths, you will inevitably die because of your strengths.
He plays with power, and he will be killed by power.
The palace chief's eyes were a little slaughtered for a moment.
Not only Concubine Yun, she is also the one who was exterminated for no reason, she also wants to see Emperor Yuan lose everything with her own eyes, and she is in pain.
In the palace Yu'an dormitory,
Opposite Aunt Wan sat Gong Yuanling, who was dyeing her nails with Kou Dan.
Aunt Wan asked tentatively,
"I remember, last year, didn't you always say that you wanted a purple hosta like the eldest lady?"
Gong Yuanling put down the pen that dyed Koudan,
"Yes, when my uncle brought back the purple hosta from Yinzhou, it was originally mine, but I thought it was just an ordinary hosta, the kind that is everywhere. I didn't ask for it, I exchanged gifts with my eldest sister and took the purple pen. ”
"Who knows, what my uncle brought back was a purple hosta, the condition is still very good, and it's too late to regret it afterwards, the eldest sister has already put it on, I originally wanted to ask the eldest sister to change it back, I went to Wisteria Garden, but I saw the eldest sister practicing swords in the yard, I didn't dare to mention it when I waited and waited, mother, you know, I'm most afraid of the eldest sister, how dare I mention it."
Aunt Wan said,
"Then do you remember what that hosta looks like?"
GONG Yuanlingdao,
"I remember, I looked at the eldest sister at that time, I saw it carefully, there were wisteria carved on it, and small flowers, the style was very special, even now, I still remember it clearly, even if I was asked to paint, I could also draw it."
Aunt Wan said busily,
"Otherwise, you can draw it."
GONG Yuanlingdao,
"Mother, you don't want to give me an identical one, right?"
Before Aunt Wan could answer, Gong Yuanling said,
"If the quality is worse than the eldest sister's, I don't want it."
Aunt Wan smiled and touched Gong Yuanling's head,
"How can it be worse than hers, we are Yuanling, everything is the best."
The mother-in-law next to Aunt Wan hurriedly took a pen and paper, and Aunt Wan and her mother-in-law glanced at each other, with a smile in their eyes that had been calculated and planned.
Gong Yuanling drew the appearance of the hosta and handed it to Aunt Wan.
Aunt Wan held the hosta, and she couldn't hold it with a smile,
"It's good, it's so well drawn."
GONG Yuanlingdao,
"Mother, you have to call someone out quickly, I still want to wear it at the feast. Also, this style is so special, you have to change it, I don't want to be exactly the same as the eldest sister. ”
Aunt Wan smiled,
"Okay, okay, whatever you say, it's up to you."
"There is a piece of acacia red jade in the mother's dowry, so someone will call it out for you."
When Gong Yuanling heard this, he smiled and said,
"Mother is the best."
Aunt Wan handed the drawings to the mother-in-law beside her, and the mother-in-law immediately walked out of the house quickly.
The palace chief returned to the house, but he was almost hit by someone, combing the concubine hurriedly supported the palace chief jue, and the mother-in-law who bumped into the palace chief jue hurriedly knelt down and said,
"The eldest lady forgives the sins, the eldest lady forgives the sins."
The palace chief said,
"Forget it, you didn't mean to."
The mother-in-law was busy,
"Miss Xie, be gracious."
The mother-in-law hurriedly got up and went out the door.
Comb said,
"That's Aunt Wan's mother-in-law, hurried and flustered, I don't know what to do, as if I'm in a hurry to do something bad."
Gong Changjue stared at him,
"Tell someone to follow her and see what she wants to do."
When the palace chief walked to the inner courtyard, a maidservant handed a box to the palace chief.
"Miss, the hosta you ordered to go to the Hairpin Dream Pavilion to fight before has now been delivered."
Gong Changjue took the box, opened it and looked at it, and saw that the hairpin was almost the same as the original, but he was afraid that he couldn't easily identify it.
Comb said,
"Miss, I asked at the time, saying that there was purple jade, but the color is far from what we require, not to mention, Miss's hosta is still warm jade, it is difficult to find one in a hundred, I am afraid that the whole Chang'an can not find such a suitable piece of purple jade, but the master of Haimeng Pavilion said that you can use water jade, although the texture of water jade is cold and hard, but in appearance, it can meet our requirements. Therefore, this hairpin is actually made of water jade. ”
Gong Changjue closed the box and looked at the box, as if thoughtful.
In a trance, there were clusters of fireworks and lanterns, and purple-gray paper kites bloomed in her hands.
Gong Changjue looked slightly stunned, but he reflected what he was thinking, and hurriedly diverted his thoughts. Place the box on the stone table and look at it no more.
The palace chief said,
"I want to see my father."
The two walked to the study, Gong Yun was watching the recent recital, and someone reported the news of the arrival of the palace chief.
"The eldest lady said that she had something important to discuss with the master."
Gong Yundao,
"Let her in."
The palace chief entered the house, and said,
"Father."
Gong Yundao,
"You said you had something important, but what difficulties did you encounter?"
The palace chief said,
"I don't know if my father knows that in recent days, Chang'anli's criticism and rumors about the Gong family have spread all over the city."
Gong Yun sighed,
"Yes, I heard about it, but you don't have to worry about it. Rumors are rumors, and they should never be true. ”
Gong Changjue's tone was a little serious, and he said,
"But father, rumors can sometimes kill."
"Dare to ask my father, where all these rumors come from now."
Gong Yun's face was a little heavy, and he said,
"This is all a matter above the court, my father and uncle have their own opinions, and you don't have to worry too much about the long tips."
The palace chief said,
"Your Majesty cut power, there is no tiger talisman in the hands of the Taiwei, and the general of the country was forced to give way, this is not a trivial matter, the embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the anthill, and over time, the fake will become true, the rumor in front of me is that the palace family is related to King Chen, and he will not be able to guarantee that it is not other rumors."
The palace chief's eyes were calm and self-controlled, with a light that Gong Yun had never seen before.
Her eyes are no longer innocent and fearless, and there seem to be many more complex emotions, but they give people an indescribable calmness and alertness, like an ancient pool. The words that came out were also to the point.
Gong Yun suddenly felt that this daughter was very different from a year ago, she was still a child a year ago, but now she is completely different, and he has still missed too much time.
The palace chief said,
"Father, as you know, King Ding was assassinated, the former court lieutenant was beheaded for public display, and the former Shaofu was exiled by the clan, and none of them really did anything wrong."
Gong Yun's eyes tightened,
"Long Jue, you must not say such things in front of others, for fear that you will be in great trouble."
The palace chief said,
"Father, even if you don't say it, in your heart, you will only know better why this is than Changjue."
The palace chief said,
"Today, the remarks of the Gong family and King Chen are relatively easy to refute, but if the Gong family is accused of other crimes in the rumors, how do you know that the one sitting high on the dragon chair will not see the wind and rudder, follow the rumors, and convict you and the Gong family?"
What Gong Changjue said was in Gong Yun's heart, and they were all things he was worried about day and night.
It's just that he didn't expect his daughter to be able to investigate so far.
The palace chief said,
"Now Emperor Yuan is afraid of the power of the palace family, just as he was afraid of the power of the king of Ding and the prestige of the Guan family a few years ago. A person's heart will not change easily, and the ambition to be in power will never be annihilated overnight, this reduction of power is a warning to the palace family, according to the king of Ding, the lessons of the Guan family, if we do not prepare early, we will only sit still, the lessons of the predecessors are enough. Father, we can't afford to gamble. ”
The palace chief's voice was in his ears, and Gong Yun understood the meaning of her words better than the palace chief's formula.
When Emperor Yuan usurped the throne, the palace generals were still in the northwest, not in Chang'an, I don't know that Chang'an has changed the world, I don't know that Emperor Yuan forced the palace, when he came back, it was the new emperor who ascended the throne, by chance, he heard from the former court captain Guan Shinian that Emperor Yuan was forcing the palace, and forced the first emperor to write an edict with poisoned wine to inherit the unification.
He suddenly understood why most of the officials in the imperial court were replaced, he thought it was a natural replacement of old and new talents, but he didn't expect that it was because Emperor Yuan wanted to block the mouth of Youyou, and those officials who disappeared were all officials who did not submit to Emperor Yuan.
But Gong Yun can't do anything, he dares to do it, but he still has family members behind him, and he can't risk their lives.
Even if his brother Gong Jin died in prison sixteen years ago, he had murderous intentions against Emperor Yuan, but he didn't oppose it, and it didn't matter if he was insulted, but he was the head of the family and had to take care of his hundreds of relatives, so he could only endure the humiliation. And now, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and he should not provoke war. Otherwise, the consequences will be borne by the people of the world.
He did not return to Chang'an for many years, and fought abroad, but six years ago, he suddenly heard that Guan Shinian was beheaded to show the public, and Wang Manmen was assassinated by unknown forces, and only the prince escaped by luck.
He suddenly understood why they had been killed.
King Ding and Guan Shinian are one in power, and the other is prestigious. They are all people to be afraid of.
He is still outside the gate, so the turmoil is not as good as him.
So, he invited himself to fight for many years, as long as he was outside the pass, in order to take care of the war, he was afraid that he would do something unfavorable to the Great Zhou on the battlefield, Emperor Yuan would not do anything to the palace family.
It's just that now, Emperor Yuan obviously can't sit still.
Gong Changjue looked at Gong Yun, his eyes were deep and calm,
"Father, we can't sit still any longer. Emperor Yuan's heart is intentionally moving, he will never let go of the palace family so easily, you look at the king of Ding, look at the Guan family, if you don't take precautions early now, my palace family will only fall to the same fate as the Guan family of King Ding. ”
Gong Yun said in a deep voice,
"Long Jue, you're right. If you don't take precautions early, our palace family will only end up like the Dingwang Guan family. ”
"But we have to be careful, there is only one way to go, and my father can't do this easily, which is an infamy for the ages. It will also bring calamity to the people. ”
That way is rebellion.
The palace chief said,
"Yet, can't my father decide? Today's court, everything seems to be normal, but it is already dying, even if our palace family does not do it, the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be lost in the hands of Emperor Yuan sooner or later. ”
"When the time comes, maybe it won't be as simple as civil strife."
The palace chief's eyes are determined,
"Xiqing has now annexed Dongchen and is attacking Northern Meng, while Nanyue is weak, and the country centered on Zhoushan in the Quartet will sooner or later become a country, and the territory is not much different from that of Da Zhou."
"If Xiqing decides to attack the Great Zhou, when the time comes, it will be difficult to deal with the internal affairs of the Great Zhou, the division of labor is chaotic, the responsibility is shirked, no one is available, and it is still passive and slacking off today, only the power is the head, it is difficult to control the country, and the people of Li are the most important, when the army of Xiqing pushes open the gate of the Great Zhou, I am afraid that it will not be far from the death of the country."
The palace chief is pressing step by step,
"Father, the three armies only listen to the orders of the Gong family, to resist Xiqing, the Gong family will definitely fight, when the time comes, there is not much chance of victory, the Great Zhou has fallen, and the Gong family will become sinners through the ages!"
Gong Yun's face was heavy.
The palace chief said,
"Father, we still have a chance, even if we do it first and pull Emperor Yuan off the throne, it may not be left for 10,000 years."
The palace chief's eyes burned,
"Emperor Yuan doesn't know, others don't know, don't you know the secret of the tiger talisman?"
Gong Yun's eyes were shocked,
"Long Jue, how are you-"
Gong Changjue lowered her eyes, she touched the tiger talisman when she was a child, and found that there was a line inside, which seemed to be deliberately cut, the line was extremely smooth, she accidentally dropped the tiger talisman and fell to the ground, the tiger talisman was broken into two, she hurriedly squatted down and picked it up, but found that there was a note stuffed in half of the tiger talisman, which was now located in the emperor's eldest grandson Yang Ke, and there were some other words, she couldn't remember it well now.
At that time, she thought that she had broken the tiger talisman, and hurriedly stuffed the note back as it was, but she didn't expect that the tiger talisman could be closed along the line and restore the appearance of the cost.
Now that she was reborn, she remembered the note in the tiger talisman, and realized that it was evidence that Emperor Yuan was plotting to usurp the throne.
Emperor Yuan is not the real heir to the throne, so even if the palace family is against Emperor Yuan, it is also famous, and the palace family is a rebel party, exterminating thieves, not rebellion.
With this evidence, the Gong family is famous, and it may not be true that it will last for thousands of years, but it will certainly not be able to leave a stench for thousands of years.
Gong Yun walked in the room, and he naturally knew the existence of this note, which was given to King Ding by the first emperor when he was dying. Back then, King Ding and the palace family held the tiger talisman together, and although the palace family knew it late, it was not unaware.
However, at that time, the court was not as scattered as it is now, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and he was only afraid that he would disturb the court and bring disaster to the people. At that time, Emperor Yuan was also quite diligent, so he could only suppress it.
But now what Changjue said is true, if he still looks forward and backwards, and cowers, he is afraid that the palace family will end up like King Ding and the Guan family.
But rebellion is not easy. Now Emperor Yuan is staring at the palace family, and every move of the palace family is being monitored, and if he wants to make a move, he is afraid that it will be extremely easy to be exposed.
