Capital

The palace is still the same.

It's just that all the palace people are silent, with a kind of decadence at the end of the dynasty.

Emperor Jingde Zhao Shuhao knelt in the queen mother's bedroom, and suddenly remembered the last days of the queen mother, when she was sick in bed, and she could no longer be a director, and she would often talk to him.

What those words were, it seemed that they had long since become blurred in Emperor Jingde's mind.

But at this time, after reading the letter sent by the woman, he somehow felt that if the queen mother was alive, he might think that the person could understand the queen mother's mind, and the two of them could communicate with each other.

Zhao Shuhao had calmed down from his despair at this time.

After all, he has been trapped in the capital for a while, and he has listened to the debates between the ministers of the DPRK and China all day long.

At this time, even if he wants to move the capital, where else can he move? At this point, he can calm down a little.

Fang Ruohua's letter, he tore it in half, picked it up and read it, and then read it in a much better mood, but it was only two days later.

I have to say that Emperor Jingde, as the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has many people who can pat on the back of the court.

Even the noblest courtiers, praising their own king, that is also a compulsory course.

Zhao Shuhao has read countless articles about patting horses, some of which are more obscure, and some of which make people feel numb.

Up to now, Zhao Shuhao felt that in the face of those words of praise, he could have been calm and light-hearted, but he should not hear them at all.

But today, the ancestral family business has been completely defeated by him, and when he sees the letter sent by the enemy, it is clear that the content in it can only be regarded as pertinent, not to mention flattery, and even just these praises, as if he is standing in a higher place to comment on the gains and losses of the past.

But he felt that his heart was more stable.

The woman said that for thousands of years, the change of dynasties, like the ebb and flow of the tide, is normal.

She said that under the current social system, a dynasty cannot last forever.

The decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty was caused by many reasons, and His Majesty cannot be blamed alone.

These words are extremely deviant, and absolutely no one dared to say them in front of him before, but they are damn reasonable, very reasonable.

Even the woman's few words and praise for him were even more exciting because of the woman's identity.

A word of praise from an enemy is more precious than a thousand words from a subordinate.

Especially an emperor like Fang Ruohua, who is in the world at a glance, and the praise of her enemies, just a few words are enough to be recorded in the history books and passed down through the ages.

Zhao Shuhao is old, and he doesn't care about his name.

Of course, he doesn't want to be a dead king, he just feels that he has no shame to face the ancestors and ancestors of the past dynasties under Jiuquan, but what can he do if the matter has come to this?

Originally, Zhao Shuhao was full of anger and just wanted to fight hard, even if he failed in the end, he would die of martyrdom.

But now, he suddenly thought of his children and grandchildren.

In his early years, he had few children, but in his later years, because he was so beautiful, he had more children.

In the past, he only had a son who had grown up and had a good maternal background, but now, he has pity for the lives of his young sons and daughters.

When the children came to the world, they haven't enjoyed the glory and wealth for a long time, so they have to be buried for the Great Zhou?

If he really resists to the end, the royal family, what will happen to the future of these children?

"Hey!"

Zhao Shuhao turned his head and looked at the old eunuch Longzhong, "Mr. Gao is back?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, I've already returned."

The old eunuch chuckled softly.

Zhao Shuhao nodded, was silent for a moment, and looked at the old man beside him: "You old thing, what are your plans?" ”

The old eunuch stood beside the emperor with low eyebrows, and his voice was extremely peaceful: "Where is Your Majesty, where is the old slave, what are the plans?" As long as Your Majesty will leave a pit for the old slave in the future after a hundred years, so that the old slave can go underground and still serve His Majesty, then the old slave will have no wish in this life. ”

Zhao Shuhao was stunned for a moment, sighed in his heart, and shook his head: "You are also a fool, not smart enough, look at Wanchun, look at Zhang Fu?" In the capital, there are no less than ten sets of houses alone, and they have married daughters-in-law and raised children. ”

"What about you? A lifetime of honesty, you also receive the rewards of the ladies in the palace, people accept the purchase of homestead land, you receive it and send it to your hometown, how many years have you been sending? Thirty years, right? Can people miss you? I won't even give you a son. ”

The old eunuch laughed: "Other people's sons, old slaves can't have them, they are all the flesh and blood of their relatives, where is the reason why it doesn't hurt?" Back then, the father of the old slave gave up the old slave, there was no way, he didn't give up me, and the family couldn't wait for death? The old slave has suffered all this, and don't let other people's families be separated. ”

"As for the silver, the ladies reward it, how can the old slave not accept it? But after all, they are all external things, the old slave eats, drinks, and uses them, all of which are rewarded by His Majesty, and the silver is not needed, so it is sent outside, and two ethnic schools are added to the family, so that the children in the clan can study, and they can also give the lonely old man and the lost child, two more clothes, and a bowl of rice, which is cost-effective. ”

Zhao Shuhao was also speechless, and sighed: "When the queen mother gave you to me, she said that you were an honest person, able to protect me, and let me worry less, but at that time, I really didn't look down on you, clumsy, and couldn't speak." ”

But later, when he really knew the benefits of the old eunuch, he was honest and loyal to his master, and when he was in the most difficult time, this old man was dedicated to protecting him, because he didn't know how many times he was beaten by his brothers, and how many times he escaped death.

Later, when he became the emperor, he was the person next to the emperor, how many people talked sweetly, and how many people piled up mountains of gold and silver in front of him, but he never did anything to betray the lord.

Let's just say that now, the palace people in the palace are not panicked and worried, worried about their future, even if they are pure eunuchs, they will consider the future, only he, the old god is here, not in a hurry, just serving his master as usual, what to do, what to do.

"Okay, I'll take you with me, at such an age, I leave you alone, and I don't know how to live outside, I can't live."

Zhao Shuhao murmured, "With that woman's heart, I won't be able to tolerate one or two loyal servants." ”

After speaking, Emperor Jingde was a little embarrassed, where did he know that woman again, before that, he didn't take that person in his eyes.

One woman, one woman......

"Let Mr. Gao come over, I want to talk to him, yes...... One last thing. ”

Zhao Shuhao sighed.

He has no hole cards at all, and he has almost no capital to negotiate peace with Fang Ruohua, now just look at how much of a role Old Man Gao's three-inch incorruptible tongue can play.
