Chapter 437: The State of the Market: Chapter 438: An Unexpected Decision
Hongluan stood outside the hall and was bored, but he didn't dare to move at will; Suddenly, I saw a little eunuch inside come out and call her to come in and serve: she began to regret the boredom just now, how safe it was outside the palace. However, seeing that there were only Shang Yi and a few palace people serving in the main hall, she knew that it was indeed a shortage of manpower - at this time, the Queen Mother and the Emperor would not casually call people in to serve, she stuck out her tongue in her heart, should she be secretly happy to become a trustworthy person for the Queen Mother and the Emperor?
She was called by Shang Yi to stand behind the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and after quietly explaining what she should pay attention to, she left in a hurry, it seemed that she had other things to do; And Hongluan stood there with her head down, paying attention to whether the tea of the Queen Mother and the Emperor was going to be replaced, of course, her ears also stood up, and the corners of her eyes began to identify the ministers in the house.
Not familiar with how courtiers visit their enemies? Moreover, the enemies of the enemy may be friends, so she pays close attention to the words of the courtiers, so as to guess who is close to whom they are, who is at odds with whom, and so on.
The six books came back soon, but they didn't bring back the list, and someone would bring it in later; But when they came back this time, their arguments became more intense, and their previous antagonism between them became more obvious; Among them, the secretary of the military department and the secretary of the ministry of industry have the tendency to roll up their sleeves, but the eloquence of the secretary department and the ministry of rites is excellent, and it is an eye-opener to see Hongluan - is this the high-ranking Shangshu adults?
In her opinion, it is very similar to the fish seller in the vegetable market who quarrels endlessly for a single business; The difference is only that the fish seller is coarse cloth and dirty, and these ministers of the imperial court are brightly dressed and speak more elegantly, although the vicious words in the words are more hurtful than the dirty mouth, but even the most unpleasant military department Shangshu did not say anything that could not be heard.
The Queen Mother and the Emperor just watched, and didn't pay much attention to the quarrels of the ministers, as if they were commonplace. This is what Hongluan has never seen in the court, and the ministers are really hands-on in the dispute, pulling their beards, taking off their boots, beating people, etc., and the tricks are also endless.
At this time, because the queen mother was there, the ministers were still very restrained; But it had already made Hongluan stunned, as she changed the tea for the emperor, the six Shangshu were more and more noisy, and finally the Shangshu of the Ministry of War rolled up his sleeves, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials was the first to grab the beard of the General Secretary of the Bing - Hongluan's eyes almost fell to the ground, and she looked at the emperor unconsciously.
Is there any condescension or inferiority in this? It's not that the courtiers are all people who read poetry and books, how can they act like people in the market. But she found that the emperor was not angry at all, and was reaching for melon seeds to eat, as if he was watching a big play.
Hongluan moved her eyes to the face of the Queen Mother, and found that the Queen Mother was actually asleep, she was a little dizzy, and she didn't know what the situation was now, and when she looked at the princes again, she found that they also began to argue with each other, but the voice was not loud, and because the six books were too attractive to her, she only found out at this time.
The person with the highest voice among the princes was not King Kang, but several five or six-year-old princes, all of them were excited, looking at the six books with their hands and feet, and shouting from time to time "Force, kick"
Hongluan subconsciously stroked her forehead, the first emperor was still in the spirit shed, and the ministers in the imperial study were fighting: This must be her dreaming, otherwise it would be too child's play, right? No mistakes in many words
King Fu looked at Hongluan, shook his head lightly when he saw her gaze, and then continued to sit quietly listening to the brothers arguing and watching the ministers fight; Even the three pavilion elders blew their beards and glared, pointing at the officials and scolding them happily, looking at their appearance, if they weren't too old, they would have started a long time ago.
Well, looking at the royal people's unshocked appearance, it seems that this is the normal state of the outer court, Hongluan took a long breath and lowered his head and didn't think about it anymore; But the awe of the ministers and the worship of their knowledge disappeared in an instant.
The emperor finally spoke, and he looked at King Fu: "Are the imperial brothers unified?" The emperor's edict, announced or not? ”
King Fu arched his hand: "It's all up to the emperor to decide." He didn't say his own thing.
King Kang said loudly: "The emperor can see it himself, and the edict given to you by your father does not need to be read out to the courtiers." ”
Prince An immediately objected: "Third Emperor Brother, how can you be sure that it is not the edict of our father to all our brothers?" My father's bones are not cold, and we are so disrespectful to his old man, which is the greatest unfilial piety. He finally spoke and said what he meant directly.
The fifth prince held the yellow box with a bitter face: "It's good for the emperor to be in charge." Also, the younger brother wants to give the edict to the incense case, okay? "It's tiring to hold things that aren't heavy for a long time, not to mention that the box seems to be light and heavy, he really wants to put it down and rest.
After the emperor spoke, the ministers finally sat down in their dresses again, but their eyes were still at war with each other, and they would not let each other go. It just so happened that the list of hundreds of officials was sent up, except for a few people who said that it was okay for the emperor to see it, there were also a few people who said that it should be read out, and more said that the emperor himself was in charge - the emperor's edict was given to the emperor, and the emperor did not need to ask his subordinates for such private matters.
Shang Shule of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Industry, they didn't expect such a result; Originally, I thought that the courtiers were divided into two factions like before, and they couldn't come up with an idea if they didn't quarrel for a few hours.
Hongluan saw a smile flashing at the corner of the emperor's lips, not a smile that had succeeded in his plan but a gratification; It seems that the emperor did not do anything in this matter, which means that the emperor regarded the edict as a touchstone.
The emperor's eyes fell on King Fu, and after the two of them collided, King Fu avoided it first, and then looked at Prince An, who lowered his head at this time and didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't look at the emperor at all; However, the eyes of the five princes and the emperor looked at each other from afar, with a bit of deference.
Several great families are firmly in a group, striving for the emperor to read the edict: that is their opportunity; Even if he is not the prince they support in the end, he is stronger than now; For the first time in recent decades, the Maison has not disagreed.
The matter has become a foregone conclusion, even if the family opposes the emperor, it is now completely possible to read the edict alone; Unless it is the Queen Mother who prevents it.
The Queen Mother opened her eyes at this time: "The mourning family is lacking, and there is no place for the mourning family to speak in the affairs of the court, and the emperor himself can look at it." She actually took the palace man's hand and left.
Prince An's face was discouraged, and he didn't expect that his repeated calculations were like child's play in front of the emperor; Seeing Hongluan behind the emperor again, his heart was even more uncomfortable: a lot of things were ruined in the hands of the little palace slave, and he hated Hongluan very much at this time.
He blamed all the faults on Hongluan, if it wasn't for Hongluan's blockade, he would have gotten the edict as early as yesterday: if he got it at that time, what if the first emperor didn't pass the throne to him? At that time, the trick that everyone saw was of course passed on to him. but it was destroyed in the hands of Hongluan.
Chapter 438: An Unexpected Decision
Hongluan suddenly had a feeling of a thorn in her back, she raised her head slightly and saw Prince An, and when she saw his hateful gaze, she naturally understood that he was thinking; However, Prince An is obviously gone now, is there anything to be afraid of? Originally, he was not afraid of Prince An, but now he is naturally even more afraid.
Looking left and right and finding that no one noticed her, she stuck out her tongue at him in the face of Prince An's gaze, and then stood with her head slightly lowered and did not move. But Prince An was so angry that he gasped a few breaths, and he couldn't wait to step forward and slap his face a few times, to see if he dared to bully him like this, you must know that he is a prince
He blamed all this on the bad of the first emperor and the queen mother, so that his mother's bad: if it wasn't for the fact that his mother was not happy with the first emperor and died early, how would he become the most unfavored prince in the palace? Even the mother of the five princes, who has a very low position, can make the five princes stand up and speak in the palace.
If it weren't for the partiality of the Queen Mother and the First Emperor, how could he be bullied by the minions in the palace, so that a small palace slave would dare to step on his head; He is not as good as the original prince, but because the prince's biological mother is the queen, that big position became his? Can there be anything more unjust in this world?
His hatred came out from the bottom of his heart, and he became more and more uncontrollable, and his eyes staring at Hongluan gradually turned a little red; Even if he can't get the big position today, he won't let Xiao Gongnu be satisfied. He wants her to go to hell with him.
Because King Fu has been paying attention to the emperor, he doesn't care much about the arguments between the emperor's brothers and ministers, so Hongluan's small action of sticking out his tongue did not escape his eyes, but made a trace of peace of mind flash in his eyes: in the end, it is still a girl's family, with her frank temperament, otherwise it will be too feminine, even if he takes her around, he will not like it, but he is afraid that he will be disgusted.
Suddenly, his gaze froze, like? Looking at Hongluan again, he shook his head slightly, if he likes it, he likes more things, he originally liked girls, but it was his shortcomings as a virtuous king, but it didn't hurt it. What makes him a little strange is that such an ordinary appearance can also make him like it, which really makes him a little uncomfortable.
He likes to be able to know the people and things around him, even if he can't control it, at least he can see it clearly, and the most annoying thing is that there are uncertain and unclear potential changes, which will make him feel very uneasy; What he is most proud of over the years is his understanding and control of himself, but he didn't expect to suddenly find that he has changed today, and it happened to him inadvertently.
For the edict, his eyes swept away, if it could be taken out at the moment of the emperor's death, it would be really useful, but unfortunately he did not find it; And the power that the crown prince had in his hands was even more startled when he found out, so he had a change, and that was necessary. Just like his imperial brother and the current emperor, forbearance is actually a kind of strategy; Shinobu is just waiting for a suitable opportunity.
He wasn't too interested in today's events, but that didn't stop him from turning his mind and looking for opportunities to take advantage of; Otherwise, he is really too lazy to watch this scene, it is better to pretend to be a filial son in the spirit shed, and it is more cost-effective for Bo Qunchen to praise him.
Now, no matter how you look at it, the emperor has won; However, he doesn't want the emperor to live too comfortably, especially not to let him be too handy as the emperor, then he will really lose all the opportunities to turn the tables. His gaze swept over Hongluan again: What's more, if you cultivate it well, you should be a very good strategist.
The emperor finally beckoned to take the yellow box into his hand, looked at the elder and the six Shangshu and his imperial disciples, and coughed lightly: "I, I really hope that I can be a wise king like the first emperor, and I can listen to the words of all the ministers; Today, I will follow everyone's opinions and let me make decisions. ”
Prince An stood up suddenly: "Brother Huang, our brothers have the right to know the content of our father's edict."
King Kang also stood up: "You have to know, do you think your name is written in it?" "No mistakes, no skipping words. He opened his mouth and broke Emperor An's thoughts: "The emperor has always been the crown prince before he ascended the throne, and my father did not mention the abolition of the crown prince, of course, I hope that the person who takes over the throne is the current emperor." Who do you think you are, it's not because your mother was ...... back then"
"Third brother" King Fu drank hard, and stretched out his hand to pull King Kang: "The emperor is so disrespectful in front of him, and he still doesn't ask the emperor for guilt?" He stopped King Kang from taking the next step.
King Kang also woke up, but he pursed his lips and glared at Prince An disappreciatively, and then saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, the younger brother is rude; But the emperor is the best, of course he won't blame me. "Just a few days ago, he and the emperor went hand in hand to catch crickets, in his eyes, whether it was the emperor or the prince, they were all his eldest brother anyway.
Hearing this, the emperor shook his head helplessly: "Third brother, sit down." He looked like he really had no way to take King Kang, he glanced at King Fu but didn't ask, looked at Prince An and said, "The fourth brother wants to know the content of his father's edict?" He looked at the other royal brothers: "Who else wants to know?" ”
Even the youngest princes didn't say they wanted to see it, even if they were really curious; But they already knew at a young age that curiosity in the palace could kill people.
The emperor looked at Prince An: "Since you want to know, then I will let the imperial brother and all the ministers listen to what the emperor's edict has to say." He actually said something that surprised everyone.
King Fu's eyes shrank slightly, and then he glanced at Prince An's eyes flashed, but the gaze was not pity: he would never give the slightest sympathy to those who sought his own way to death.
The emperor put the edict box on the table and looked at the elders: "It will be read by the elders, don't you object?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"
No one objected, they were all wondering if the emperor had a backhand, how could he be provoked by Prince An's words to read it? If you want to say that the emperor is a person, some people may believe it, but no one in the room will believe that the emperor is a person who is easily provoked. How can a person who can endure it for ten years care about an innocuous sentence? And now he is in power.
The elders wanted to persuade each other again, but the emperor insisted on going his own way; The eldest elder, that is, the elder brother of the Queen Mother, trembled slightly in front of the emperor and said softly: "The first emperor really has to leave an edict to pass on the throne. "This is a reminder, and now the emperor is too late to retort.
The emperor personally helped the old uncle to come: "Please make a decree to the uncle." He used it as a family name, but the elder Ge Lao's eyes were slightly red when he heard it.
The elder opened the edict, and everyone's eyes on the hall were fixed on the fingers of the three old men: the slowly unfolding edict did not have the name of the king of a country, only the teachings of the first emperor to his sons, asking them to work together, and asking them to be brothers, friends and brothers.
"This is not really a testament," Prince An suddenly shouted.
