Hearing the emperor say, "I hope I'm just thinking too much", I wanted to tell him at that time that it was definitely not that you were thinking too much, but that it was actually like that.

If even the emperor feels strange about one thing, it is not that there is a ghost in secret, but that the ghost has run out into broad daylight.

Seeing that I looked deaf, he slowly told me, "This morning, when the dynasty is in the morning, Wei Shangbiao, please add a number of additional officials of the East Palace." Now that he is too his son-in-law, he thinks too much about it, and hopes to add more manpower to assist Tai, which is normal. What makes me wonder is that among the people he recommended, the first one was actually Sima Wei, the king of Chu. Haven't he and Sima Wei always been mortal enemies? Why are you promoting him now? ”

Wei's move is indeed extraordinary, and the contradiction between him and Sima Wei, the king of Chu, is not a day or two. The king of Chu is young and vigorous, and he is the younger brother of the current emperor, so he is a little arrogant and domineering in the court. Other ministers can still turn a blind eye, just don't see it, and don't bother with him. Only Wei has always been a thorny character, and he is the most unconvinced. Now he is relying on the elders of several dynasties, relying on the old and selling the old in front of the emperor, where is he willing to buy Sima Wei's small account.

In the past two years, the sordid feud between them has long been known. Now Wei suddenly proposed to promote Sima Wei, which made people suddenly suspicious outside of the abruptness. No wonder even a simple person like the emperor feels uneasy.

I thought for a moment and said, "That's understandable." In officialdom, there are no eternal friends or permanent enemies, only eternal interests. Since Tai is Old Man Wei and his son-in-law, he will naturally do his best to consolidate Tai's position. And now the local court. Apart from him, who else has more power than Sima Wei? Quan Chen, he is the boss. Sima Wei is the second in line. If he can break the deadlock between them by promoting Sima Wei, he will also turn Sima Wei into a party dialect. Isn't that too a solid position. At that time, even if they want to elevate the emperor, it will be easy to put Tai on the throne of the emperor early. ”

When the emperor heard this, he was puzzled and said, "I originally wanted to abdicate and go into hiding, and the update was the fastest. I don't intend to sit on this throne for long. Why are they still trying to help me with such a plan? At this, he looked sad.

I can feel his feelings, his ministers, his sons, none of them are faithful. Everyone can't even wait for him to abdicate, and they can't wait to drive him away immediately.

I immediately reminded him, "Although the emperor has the intention of abdicating and going into hiding, he has not shown it in front of his ministers, right?" ”

He smiled and said, "Of course not." This matter is very important, and if it is not handled well, it will subvert the entire imperial court and cause chaos. How dare I reveal the news beforehand? ”

Seeing that I turned my head to laugh, he said embarrassedly, "Look at my foolishness." I thought so in my own heart, and I kept preparing for it. I thought they all understood what I was thinking. In fact, how is that possible? After all. The emperor deserves to abdicate. Ordinary people can't think of it. ”

I said, "Yes, the emperor has not clearly expressed the intention of going into seclusion. Moreover, in the past six months, he has worked hard and been diligent in political affairs. In the eyes of Wei Na's gang, the emperor is still consolidating his foundation and consolidating the imperial power. And the most important thing is that Tai is not from me, they are afraid that if I accidentally give birth to an emperor one day, Taizhi's position will be unstable. They are worried about this, so they must take precautions, first win over all the forces that are worth wooing, and unite all the forces that can be united. When the power of the Taidang is enough to compete with the emperor......"

The emperor nervously asked, "What will happen?" ”

What will happen? Needless to say? At that time, even if he is too uninterested in competing with his father, the guys around him who are keen on power - especially Wei who is anxious to become the elder of the country - will not give up. Wei is in his seventies and can't afford to wait any longer. He didn't have the addiction of being a national ruler before, but now that his granddaughter has finally chosen a concubine, can he still let his family be the elder of the country before he farts?

I also know that I am a bit alarmist when I say this, but the emperor is so good, and many things, I am willing to think about the bad in advance, so that the emperor can be alert.

So I smiled and said, "What will happen, the concubines don't dare to make judgments, but looking at the current posture, they are in full swing to win over the powerful ministers and expand their power." Don't forget, your younger brother Sima Wei is not only a minister of the court, he is also the commander of the forbidden army. Once Wei succeeded in winning over Sima Wei this time and turned Sima Wei into a Taidang dialect, it meant that not only the entire imperial court, but even the palace guards were under their control. In the future, the safety of me and the emperor will depend on them. ”

When the emperor heard this, his complexion changed, and he said in an unbelievable tone, "Tai, Wei, and the King of Chu won't treat me like this, I am not thin on them." ”

What a naïve man. As everyone knows, for a person who is keen on power and wealth, the whole meaning of his life is to pursue power and wealth endlessly, and he can only see these things in his eyes. Anything that would get in his way, whatever it was, would be removed by him as a stumbling block. At that time, what will you do with him?

Although I couldn't bear it, I still told him, "The concubine has just said that there is only eternal benefit." The word is the head, thin or not thin. Wasn't the first emperor good enough for the Yang family back then? The Yang family has relied on the emperor's grace and glory for decades, living in the largest mansion in the capital, and the brothers are several high-ranking officials, openly controlling the government. But when the first emperor was dying, how did Yang Jun treat the first emperor? Before the first emperor died, he openly tampered with the edict of the first emperor and read it to the first emperor, so angry that the first emperor angrily faced the bed. When the first emperor came out of the funeral, he sat high in the Taiji Hall and couldn't come out. Ruthlessness and unrighteousness can be described to the extreme. ”

The emperor was silent. Because what I said was true, and some of the episodes were witnessed by him, he was also very shocked and very indignant at that time.

After a while, he asked me, "What do we do then?" ”

So far, no one can be trusted, and we can only rely on each other. So what he asks is what to do with "us", not what to do with "me".

I thought about it for a while and said, "The emperor pressed his promotion table first, dragged it for a while, and then thought about countermeasures slowly." ”

The emperor's face turned unnaturally red, and he kept his head down for a long time without speaking.

I panicked, probably guessing what was going on with him blushing, but I was still a little lucky and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I, I, I was ready to play at that time."

"It's going to play so soon?" I was also anxious, even a little annoyed. Usually a little tells me endlessly, but now this kind of big thing, but I don't say a word, and it's just right quietly.

When the emperor saw that I was angry, he looked embarrassed, and said "I, I ......" at a loss, and "I" for a long time, and "I" did not make a name for myself.

Seeing him like that, I felt distressed. It's true that he is my husband, but he is the emperor, he is so afraid of guilt, people will die of laughter when they see it.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly shook his hand, smiled at him "very sweetly" and said, "It's okay, it's okay." The concubine wants to see what tricks an old thing is about to go to the ground, a reckless stupid talent, and a little man who can't do anything. Besides, the court is not full of their people, we also have our henchmen. It was only because his qualifications were not as good as Old Man Wei's and his background was not as good as Sima Wei's, that he was temporarily suppressed by them. ”

There are a few things I didn't say later, maybe this was an opportunity to get rid of the old immortal and the other things I looked as an eyesore, and put our own henchmen to the forefront.

But if this is the case, the day when the emperor abdicates and retreats will be far away.

The emperor was still embarrassed to explain, "I thought very simply, wasn't it just to invite a few more masters?" Er is idle all day long, only worrying about raising pigs every day, and it is good to ask a few more masters to take care of him. For the rest, I didn't think about it that much. ”

My simple husband, after so many years of being an emperor, I still can't figure out those twists and turns. Wei is just expanding the power of the Taidang in the name of inviting Taifu. Asking the Taifu is fake, and encircling the ministers is true.
