Chapter 35: A loyal minister is more terrible than a traitor
When Qin Hu said this, Su Ruanmei was also very shocked, she quietly hid under the windowsill of the east chamber, and carefully eavesdropped on the conversation in the room.
Prime Minister Shangguan was silent for a long time before he said meaningfully to Qin Hu.
"Ah Hu, why can't you understand the old man's hard work. Thinking that the old man has gone through four dynasties, since the beginning of filial piety, he has been working hard for the Jiangshan Society of Zhao, sparing no effort, how can he change his original intention here with His Majesty, thinking that His Majesty is not in the court for three years, King Zheng's power is getting bigger and bigger, and his good name has long been all over the court and the opposition, even if the old man has the heart to share the worries for His Majesty, I am afraid that he is powerless. ”
After Prime Minister Shangguan finished speaking, Qin Hu said unrelentingly.
"Then you will let King Zheng cover the sky with one hand and do evil, even if he does something to hurt His Majesty, you will ignore it and ignore it?"
After Qin Hu finished speaking, Prime Minister Shangguan said a little helplessly.
"How could the old man let King Zheng hurt His Majesty, it's just that there are many things, and we still need to think about it in the long run, and we can't be rash."
After Prime Minister Shangguan finished speaking, Qin Hu continued to question Prime Minister Shangguan.
"What do you explain about letting the gangsters go, teacher?"
After a moment of silence, Prime Minister Shangguan told Qin Hu his bitter feelings.
"Ah Hu, sit down first, and the old man will give you a satisfactory answer."
"In fact, that night the gangster committed the crime and held His Majesty hostage, the old man knew the whole process, thinking that this gangster did so many things is nothing more than trying to frame the blame to His Majesty, so that His Majesty will be discredited, and then let the old man be shameless and take His Majesty back to the palace logically. If the old man catches the gangster on the spot and finds out that the mastermind behind him is actually King Zheng, this is just a small effort to bring down King Zheng. And let King Zheng kill His Majesty next, and we may not be able to prevent it at that time. ”
When Prime Minister Shangguan said this, Qin Hu's mood was still fluctuating.
"In this way, the old man thought that it would be better to take this opportunity to stage a bitter plan for King Zheng, there is a saying called knowing the place of death and then life, although Your Majesty was seriously injured this time, but it can also dispel the doubts in King Zheng's heart, relax his vigilance against His Majesty, and think that he will not do anything to His Majesty for a long time after that, and we can also take this opportunity to adjust our plans, so as to win more time and opportunities for bringing down King Zheng."
After Prime Minister Shangguan finished speaking, Qin Hu was a little depressed.
"How can I not know what the teacher said, but I have suffered Your Majesty, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bring happiness to the woman I like in the future."
After Qin Hu finished speaking, Prime Minister Shangguan laughed and patted Qin Hu's back.
"Your Majesty Jiren has his own natural appearance, I think that although the gangster kicked His Majesty's lower body, but after the old man's inspection at the time, it should not affect the reproduction of His Majesty's heirs, here is the best medicine that the old man brought from the palace, I have ordered someone to invite Miss Su, I think she will be able to recover in a few days after she smears His Majesty."
After Prime Minister Shangguan finished speaking, Qin Hu asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, is there really nothing wrong with you?"
When Prime Minister Shangguan heard this, he appeased Qin Hu again.
"That's natural, although this military move almost made His Majesty suffer a big loss, but fortunately, His Majesty was born with a hidden disease, if outsiders will inevitably think that His Majesty will lose his fertility, but in the old man's opinion, it is actually not a big problem, and this is why the old man let the gangster go, on the one hand, it is a love that the old man sold to King Zheng, and on the other hand, it is also so that the gangster can bring the news back, so that King Zheng will no longer chase and beat His Majesty."
When Prime Minister Shangguan said this, Qin Hu stopped talking.
"By the way, why can't this Miss Su come over, Qin Hu, you go and invite Miss Su again."
As soon as Prime Minister Shangguan's words fell, Su Ruanmei coughed twice outside the house.
After Su Ruanmei knocked on the door, Prime Minister Shangguan invited Su Ruanmei into the house to talk.
When Su Ruanmei entered the room, she saw Qin Hu sitting next to Prime Minister Shangguan dejectedly, and there were only two people in the room, Prime Minister Shangguan and Qin Hu, and there was a bottle of wound medicine in front of Prime Minister Shangguan's table.
"Miss Su, you are here, this bottle of wound medicine is very useful for His Majesty's injuries, I think you are the closest and most credible person around Your Majesty, it is appropriate for you to take it and apply it to Your Majesty."
After Prime Minister Shangguan finished speaking, he picked up the medicine bottle, but Su Ruanmei didn't pick up the medicine bottle.
"I want Your Majesty to clear your suspicion and keep your reputation this time, Miss Su, you have made a lot of contributions, and when Your Majesty returns to the palace, you will definitely be rewarded heavily."
After Prime Minister Shangguan finished speaking, he cast a kind and convincing gaze at Su Ruanmei.
Su Ruanmei looked at Prime Minister Shangguan, and there was a trace of respect in her heart, but at the same time, she also felt a trace of fear. She couldn't help but think of a sentence that Lao Tzu once said, great loyalty is like a traitor, a great sage is like an idiot, as a real loyal minister, although Prime Minister Shangguan's actions yesterday were really helpless, but he did break the little emperor's heart.
"Miss Su, there is a saying that people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, and this huge court, how can the rivers and lakes be compared."
When Prime Minister Shangguan said this, Su Ruanmei stepped forward to take the medicine bottle of Prime Minister Shangguan, and said that Prime Minister Shangguan was bothered by His Majesty.
When Su Ruanmei went back to the West Chamber, her mind was full of the figure of the prime minister, which was completely different from the loyal ministers she had seen in the TV series in the past, the real loyal ministers were not to die to the emperor, nor to obey the emperor's remarks, but to stand in the perspective of the country, so that the emperor could make the right decision and set a good example for the people, the heart of the great loyal minister must be red, but his hands may be blacker than the great traitor, if there is no very skill, no very faith, no very perseverance, Then he will not be able to face everything calmly, and he will not be able to stand calmly beside the king.
As soon as Su Ruanmei looked up inadvertently, she had already returned to the West Chamber, and she saw Fang Shiyi walking out of the house in a hurry, and tripped over the door frame when she went out.
Fang Shiyi respectfully gave her a bow when he saw Su Ruanmei, and then left in a panic.
When Su Ruanmei entered the house, Fang Chuchu was gone, and the little emperor was holding on to the edge of the bed, showing a cold expression on his face.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Su Ruanmei said and went to the little emperor, and when the little emperor saw Su Ruanmei, he lay back with a smile and joked with Su Ruanmei.
"I'm back so soon, are you worried that I'll get along with that Fang Chuchu, and I'll leave you, the lady of the main palace, behind."
