When the first queen was still there, Emperor Wei Wendi was very fond of her, and even loved Yin Gezhi and Nanping more than other princes and princesses. Shi was just a concubine at the time, and it was just that he was left out in the cold, who would have thought that his son would not be valued by the emperor. The eldest prince has lived in the East Palace since he was a child, but Jue'er has been living with her until she became an adult, and even the teaching master uses the emperor to pick the rest for the eldest prince!

Shi was unwilling to deal with this situation, and planned behind her back early in the morning, as soon as the queen died, she thought of a way to let her brother help her ascend to the throne, and it took a lot of hard work to help Jue'er to the position of prince. I have used all the methods that should be used, and there has never been a time when my heart is soft-hearted. It's not easy to get to this point, if the emperor still has the heart to abolish the prince, then she can only take risks!

The women of the harem are sad, and they have been living for the honor of the family and their status all their lives, especially the women who are not favored, and they have long lost the girl's longing for feelings in their hearts, and there are only strong resentments and desires for power.

Emperor Wei Wen didn't realize it suddenly, he was still contemplating at ease, the prince of Qi was useless, but he was also afraid of Yin Gezhi's ability.

Guan Qingyue absconded, and the truth of the Guan family's unjust case surfaced little by little, although at the same time, the envoys of Wu State spoke a lot. But Emperor Wei Wendi was very worried, he always felt that there was someone next to his dragon chair who was eyeing him, telling him that he couldn't eat or sleep well, and that the dragon body was sick and unhealthy.

"Father."

In the imperial study, Yin Gezhi stood tall and jade, holding the fold in both hands, and said with a calm expression: "The old case of the Guan family, there are a total of sixty-eight officials involved, of which thirty are still in the government and the opposition. ”

Staring at him, Emperor Wei's expression was a little ugly: "There are too many people involved, Shen Bi, have you heard a word?" It's called 'Sin is not to blame'! ”

"Erchen never recognized the word." Raising his eyes and looking up, Yin Gezhi said stubbornly: "If you sins, you should be responsible, one person is responsible for one crime, and one person is responsible for one crime, and one hundred people are responsible for one crime." Since the father could have slaughtered more than 100 people in the Guan family for the crime of one person, how could he not convict these 68 people now? ”

Choking slightly, Emperor Wei Wendi coughed again, with a very tired look on his face, patted the table, and said quite angrily: "You kid, why do you want to go against me? ”

"The son doesn't want to embarrass his father." Arching his hand slightly, Yin Ge stopped: "Erchen is just asking for justice, the Guan family is not guilty, he has countless merits but has been wronged for three years, and the door is full of nothing, why does my father still think that Guan Qingyue is guilty of escaping from prison?" If she didn't survive, her father wouldn't even have a chance to forgive her sins. ”

"Presumptuous!" With a low reprimand, Emperor Wei Wendi's face was extremely ugly: "What sin do I forgive?" I am not guilty! ”

"It's going to be the ancestor worship ceremony of the Yin royal family soon." didn't listen to him at all, Yin Gezhi said to himself: "Erchen has already discussed with Lord Fengchang, in order to express his apology to the Guan family, I also hope that my father will announce to the world at the ancestor worship ceremony that the Guan family is not guilty." ”

"What?!" Standing up with a tap on the handrail, Emperor Wei Wen was trembling with anger: "You want me to admit your mistakes in front of your ancestors and ancestors!" ”

"Shouldn't it?" With a cold face, Yin Gezhi looked at him with a solemn expression and said: "My father has just ascended the throne, the Ming prince is in chaos, and half of the officials in the court have defected, it is General Guan who has taken 100,000 soldiers to Qin Wang Yu Lidu, and protected the throne of my father!" Wu has repeatedly violated our borders, and the incumbent generals are only willing to enjoy happiness and do not want to fight, it is General Guan who goes into battle to kill the enemy without saying a word, and guards my Great Wei border for a few years! In the battle of Nanqi, there was a shortage of food and grass, and the troops were insufficient, but the Guan family did not retreat at all and defended the city, so that Wu did not let the state capture Nanqi City and threaten the hinterland of our capital! ”

Emperor Wei Wen looked away a little flusteredly and slowly sat down on the dragon seat.

Yin Gezhi's cold voice trembled a little: "He is a respectable person, in the battle of Pyeongchang, his sons are at fault." Erchen should be more humane, trust him more, and don't send the letter back to Lidu, maybe his father will have no excuse to kill him so quickly. ”

But at that time, he didn't talk about anything when he encountered things, no matter whether it was Guan Canghai, who had made meritorious deeds, or someone else, as long as he committed something and the evidence came to him, he would handle it impartially. But he never thought that he was impartial, and others would not be impartial. Under this filthy imperial power, what is hidden is the murderous intention of loyal ministers!

"The sons are willing to plead guilty to the ancestors and ancestors together with their father, and admit their mistakes to the Guan family." The Adam's apple rolled up and down, and Yin Gezhi looked at Emperor Wei Wen and said, "Just ask my father, don't take care of the royal face." ”

Emperor Wei Wendi was silent when he heard this, his eyes slowly rolled from side to side, and after a long time, he asked, "What if I don't want to?" ”

"Father's favorite thing is the power in his hands, right?" Expecting his answer, Yin Gezhi chuckled, and his expression became even more indifferent: "Whether it is military power or other power, you have always held it firmly in your own hands, and you have never pretended to be in your hands. ”

Snorting lightly, Emperor Wei Wendi looked at the jade seal on the table, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

"In that case, then the sons are bold." Bowing slightly, Yin Ge stopped: "From the beginning of knowing about the Guan family's unjust case, the sons and daughters have thought about it, if the father and the emperor insist on going their own way, then the sons and daughters can only fight with their fathers." ”

"Oh?" With a sneer, Emperor Wei Wen squinted at him: "You are just a prince, I am the son of heaven, what do you want to fight with me?" ”

"It's simple." Yin Gezhi lowered his eyes: "Before coming, Erchen discussed with the prince of Wu State, let Erchen return to Wei State, and Erchen can lead the army to go on the expedition." Together with Wu State, he fought against the Song Dynasty. He also had one condition for uniting the Wei State, so that his sons would be in charge. ”

With a tight heart, Emperor Wei Wen frowned, he personally talked to the envoys of Wu State, and the condition was indeed this.

"Why does my father think that his son will return in only one year?" With a low laugh, Yin Ge stopped: "If it weren't for his confidence, his sons wouldn't dare to fight with his father." If the alliance between Wu and Wei breaks down this time, what will happen to the Wei Kingdom, my father knows it in his heart. ”

Qi is already eyeing Wei State, if it provokes Wu State again, then Wu and Wei will unite, first swallow Wei State, and then resist Song, killing multiple birds with one stone. Originally, there was more than one choice for the Wu State, and being able to unite with the Wei State was already considered a profound Wei State.

A little annoyed, Emperor Wei Wen said, "Aren't you afraid that you will die here first?" ”

Tiger poison does not eat children, but he is a human being, and people's hearts are much more terrible than tigers.

Yin Gezhi's expression darkened, but his back straightened: "My father wants to kill his son, does he want to rely on the guards in this palace?" ”

Thinking of his emperor's terrifying kung fu, Emperor Wei Wendi was a little weak-hearted, his expression was calm and supported the scene, but his heart was beating a drum.

If he had stopped Yin Ge first, it would have given him a reason to rebel. Let's not mention that there are a lot of people in the court who support him, let's just say that the guards, then Chen Weiwei is from the East Palace, although he is loyal to him, but if Yin Shenbi is on the other side, whether he can be obedient or not has to be said separately.

A little panicked, Emperor Wei Wendi softened his tone and said: "Blood is thicker than water, after all, it is my own son, how can I be willing to attack you?" But Shen Bi, you can't force your father like this because your father is soft-hearted. ”

"Five years ago, the strength of the Wei State was still comparable to the Wu State, and even slightly better." Frowning slightly, Yin Gezhi's tone was heavy: "In just five years, the Wei State has made enemies everywhere, and the conquests have continued, and the people are struggling to make a living. The people fled, the land was barren, and the national strength was weakening day by day, didn't my father think about the reason? ”

"How could I not have thought about it?" Emperor Wei Wendi was a little unconvinced: "I have been holding the ministers of the court accountable, and there are fewer and fewer people who may use them, and I am reviewing and reviewing the folds for five hours a day, but what's the use?" ”

"Is it really because the courtiers are useless?" Yin Gezhi shook his head: "It is my father's arbitrary and arbitrary actions, refusal to delegate power, excessive rewards and punishments, no distinction between right and wrong, and promotion of officials according to preferences, which has led to the loss of talents in the DPRK and China, and there are no capable people!" ”

Emperor Wei Wen raised his eyebrows: "Why am I so mediocre as you say!" ”

"Isn't it?" Yin Gezhi sighed: "Take Zhao Xu as an example, he was just a literati in Lidu, and he was famous in some calligraphy and painting, and his father loved calligraphy and painting, so he was exceptionally promoted to an internal official. Because he is good at flattery, he was promoted to lieutenant in just two years! Father, Taiwei is one of the three dukes, can such an official position be given like this? ”

A little weak-hearted, Emperor Wei Wendi coughed lightly twice and didn't answer.

"It wasn't until later that he was found to have a corpse in the house, what did his father do? Let the sons and daughters care, and say that he was wronged! Dare to ask my father, does the female corpse in the backyard of Taiwei's Mansion have anything to do with you? ”

"Bold!" The case was struck, and the emperor said angrily: "What does it have to do with me? When I went to his house, I never talked about calligraphy and painting, nothing else! ”

"Then why did my father favor him so far?" Yin Gezhi looked at him with mockery: "Just because he writes in line with his father's heart?" ”

"You don't understand!" Emperor Wei Wen said a little anxiously: "There are not many people who can write with a calm heart today, not to mention that he has made great achievements in Yan Tizi, and he will be in the annals of history in the future!" ”

Hearing the laughter, Yin Ge shook his head: "Just because of this, my father can cover up his murderous mistakes, isn't it not a distinction between right and wrong?" ”

Emperor Wei Wendi was speechless, stiffened for a long time, and finally lowered his head and reflected.

"The son insisted on overturning the case and asking his father to show his guilt to the ancestors and ancestors, not to wipe the face of his father, but to finally pull the Wei State, return the upright wind of the Wei court, warm the blood of loyal ministers, and leave the hearts of loyal ministers. Only in this way can I have hope of becoming strong again! ”

Yin Gezhi said this for the second time, the first time Emperor Wei Wendi didn't believe it, but the second time he had to listen to it.

The imperial study was quiet for a long time, and the hourglass was almost at the bottom, just when Yin Gezhi was a little desperate, thinking that Emperor Wei Wen was going to die without repentance, he spoke, and his voice was tired.

"That's it." Emperor Wei Wen said: "If you admit your mistakes, you will admit your mistakes, and if you show your guilt, for the sake of my Wei country, I am willing to listen to you." ”

With a joy in his heart, Yin Gezhi looked at him very unexpectedly: "Is what my father said true?" ”
