Chapter 178: Reconspiracy (Part II)
King Yi just pursed his thin lips, lowered his hand slightly, and looked up at the watery night outside the window, but his fingers were knocking on the case, as if there were thousands of words that he didn't know where to start, only in this way could he slowly sort out a clue and prepare where to start.
"You have always refused to treat me as your true face, but because I have a grudge against you, I didn't help you when your Su family suffered a disaster eleven years ago? Su Wenxi! ”
King Yi's deep eyes were shining, and when he saw the surprise in Wen Xi's eyes, he was silent but silent, and the corners of his thin lips were slightly raised with a hint of pride.
"You want revenge, you want to bring down Zhuo Yinfeng, you want to shake the prince, but you're alone! Among the many princes, the seventh brother should have been your best candidate, but he has no dispute with the throne. The other princes are either crippled or disabled, and they are not suitable candidates for the throne, so you have no choice but to join forces with me, but just join forces, you want to join forces with me, but you won't really intersect, right? ”
King Yi's words fell, and the study fell into a moment of silence, if it weren't for the lights beating and blasting out a few sparks, the air seemed to be about to freeze.
For a long time, under King Yi's focused gaze, the corners of Wen Xi's eyes turned up, and he seemed to have a smile. Then he slowly raised his hand and slowly tore off the pitch-black face towel, revealing a handsome but cold face.
King Yi was startled at first, then regained his composure and nodded slightly, as if laughing at himself: "I knew you were Su Wenxi, but I didn't expect you to be Zhuo Jinyu!" is a good Zhuo Jinyu, a good Su Wenxi. ”
"My father, Su Boyi! Like most officials in Beijing, even if he was strict with himself and was an honest official, he did not escape the party struggle of the royal family. Although the crown prince was already established at that time, my father still felt that you were more suitable for the throne than the crown prince, so he followed you loyally! You have been in trouble many times, and it was my father who ran to tell me and tried to be a saint. But where were you, Your Highness, when he was devastated? Is it just kneeling outside the temple and pleading? ”
King Yi frowned slightly, and couldn't help but sigh: "You also asked such a question when you came to my mansion for the second time!" You may not be satisfied with the answer I gave you at the time! But that's just the first answer! Because I don't know who you really are, I can't tell you much! But today I already know that you are Su Wenxi, and I can tell you the second answer! It's a little ruthless, but I think you'll be more satisfied than just my plea! ”
"What answer?" Wen Xi's eyes have been faint since he entered this room, but when he heard this sentence, his eyes instantly cleared up a lot!
What is the truth behind the scenes?
"In the eyes of the people, your father's case is just a case of corruption in the officialdom of embezzlement of food and silver for disaster relief! In the eyes of many princes and unwitting low-level officials, he is a victim of a party turmoil! But in the eyes of even fewer people, it is just a means for the father to assert his imperial power! Ten years ago, you were only the year of the crown, and what you saw was actually the second type that this king said! Back then, I was only a few years older than you, and at first I thought the same as you! It's just that in the years of secret investigation that followed, I learned about the third type! ”
"Your father? Isn't it the crown prince? ”
King Yi shook his head slowly, the gold beads on the crown of his hair shone under the candlelight, and they were as bright as a galaxy against the backdrop of the inky night behind him, Wen Xi couldn't help but feel a little dizzy when he heard these words.
"Back then, you didn't ask about political affairs, and after your family was in trouble, you took refuge outside, and the treacherous situation in the court is actually far away from you! Even if you have a thousand wisdoms, you can't understand them! ”
"Be clear!"
King Yi raised the teacup and took a shallow sip before moistening his throat before saying: "The whole world knows that the father and the emperor inherited the throne in the year of the crown, and the emperor left eight auxiliary ministers!" In the beginning, he was indeed an assistant to his father. But as his father grew up, he slowly became a stumbling block to his father's governance! In order to maintain the status of the old and powerful people in the court, several auxiliary ministers even confronted the imperial power! “
"At that time, foreign enemies invaded again, and my father had to fight against the outside world on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to eradicate the stumbling blocks in internal affairs! Although you are the Son of Heaven, you are constrained everywhere, and the imperial power is just an empty shell! The eight auxiliary ministers not only troubled their father in the previous dynasty, but also wanted to control their father in the harem. The former queen is an example, domineering and domineering in the harem, abusing lynching to punish concubines and palace maids, and even mutilating the imperial heir! All of this, if a mediocre and incompetent emperor came to govern the Great Zhou, I am afraid that the Great Zhou Dynasty would have died long ago! It's a pity that our emperor is the wise and martial Emperor Wu Zhou!"
"Even if it were, so what? The eight auxiliary ministers in the early years were so far away from my father, could it be that these imperial power struggles had something to do with my father? ”
"Of course it is! After pacifying the foreign enemy, my father began to rectify the internal affairs! successively deposed eight auxiliary ministers, and then purged the harem so that the imperial power was extended, and he became an emperor in the true sense! You must know that it is precisely because of this bloody cleaning of the imperial court that there is the existence of the Ice Imperial Gate! In the early years, the Ice Imperial Gate was to eradicate the stumbling blocks for his father, and in the eyes of his father, it was a sharp sword, and it was irreplaceable if it was merit greater than fault! “
"Later, the Ice Imperial Gate was in the hands of the prince, and became a tool for the prince to compete for the position of the prince, even if he did so many unsightly evil things, but the father did not care, you really think that it was just because the father did not want to shake the position of the prince, and did not want the court to be turbulent! Because his father knows better than anyone else, the Ice Imperial Gate can play an irreplaceable role in his hands at critical moments! ”
"What does all this have to do with my father?"
"If a person has gone through the darkest and most brutal struggle to come out of the bloody storm and finally stand on the top of the peak and look down on all beings, do you think that in the future life of this person, he will be vigilant to examine everyone around him, so as to prevent himself from falling into the abyss again?"
"Anyone would! Even I would! A layer of fine sweat broke out on Wen Xi's sideburns, and he vaguely felt that he was about to get close to the truth of the matter, but such a truth made him a little panicked, and even a little scared! It is a look down from the highest authority, like a weak young beast looking up at a falcon hovering overhead.
"My father, our emperor, he is not an ordinary person! He knows better than anyone the cruelty of the struggle and the bloodiness of the battlefield! So he won't let himself repeat the mistakes of the past! Unfortunately, your father is also a man who cannot exist in his eyes! Although your father is a good official, conscientious and clean-shaven, he is not a good courtier in the eyes of my father! He's stubborn! So stubborn that my father has no way to let him exist! ”
"Why is this happening?" The cool breeze gusted in the inky night, and the cold sweat-soaked clothes were attached to his back and gave birth to a coldness, Wen Xi felt a chill that was extremely incommensurate with such an early summer!
