Chapter 165: A Gamble of Life and Death
"I haven't done anything, it's the destiny of heaven that is revealed through the hexagram you divined." Zhang Weizhao replied.
Chen Jianjun threw the copper coin to the ground with a loud bang, raised his chin and said, "I am the Son of Heaven, and my will is the Mandate of Heaven!" Saying that copper coins can make a destiny is nothing more than you pretending to be a god and trying in vain to maintain Chen Youcong's position as the prince. ”
In the face of Chen Jianjun's accusation, Zhang Weizhao did not make any defense, but said deeply: "The hexagram is like this, believe it or not." The trail retreated. As he spoke, he lowered his head and stepped out.
"Stop!" Chen Jianjun didn't expect Zhang Weizhao to leave so simply and neatly, and couldn't help but stop her.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty what else is going on?" Zhang Weizhao raised his head and looked at him.
Chen Jianjun walked back and forth in front of the table, but he didn't say anything immediately.
The original hexagram is the current situation, and the hexagram indicates the future.
Just now, before throwing the copper coin, Chen Jianjun asked whether it was feasible to abolish the prince. The original hexagram he threw was a devouring hexagram, and the hexagram said that the thing he asked was full of obstacles and would encounter great resistance, which was actually Chen Jianjun's current situation, so this hexagram was accurate.
The hexagram that extends from the original hexagram is the Zhen hexagram, which says that there is a great turmoil coming, which means that if Chen Jianjun insists on abolishing the prince, it will cause disaster, and this hexagram is something that Chen Jianjun does not want to believe at all.
He refused to believe it, suspecting that Zhang Weizhao secretly moved his hands and feet to let him throw such a hexagram. However, he couldn't say where Zhang Weizhao moved, because he threw the copper coin, and the hexagram was drawn by him according to the number of lines he threw against the Book of Changes, and there was no room for Zhang Weizhao to do it, so he was nervous, afraid that the prophecy given by the hexagram would come true, so he stopped Zhang Weizhao and wanted to further argue with her.
"Good! Leave aside the rest for the time being, as far as the hexagram is concerned," Chen Jianjun stopped, stared at Zhang Weizhao with his eyes and said, "If I must abolish the crown prince, what will happen then?" ”
"Your Majesty," Zhang Weizhao's voice was very soft, but the words he said were very heavy: "Judging from the hexagram you have divined today, the abolition of the reserve is a disobedient act against heaven and fate. If you insist on proceeding, I am afraid that you will soon see the mountains and rivers shake, and the society will be restless. ”
Chen saw Jun's pupils shrinking, and his face became more and more hideous.
The person in front of him, he kept forgiving and caring for her, expecting her to understand his loneliness and embrace his vulnerability, but she opened her mouth and said a vicious curse to him, just to keep another man and her future glory and wealth!
He slapped the table, pointed his finger at Zhang Weizhao, and almost reached her nose:
"I don't believe a word of what you're saying! You've disappointed me so much today! What do you say are you an open-minded healer? Fake! It's all a lie! When it really matters to you, you're no different from anyone else! You're a fool! ”
Zhang Weizhao looked at Chen Jianjun, without the slightest fear and dodge: "Is there a fundamental conflict between being open-minded and safeguarding one's own interests?" Who says that an open-minded person cannot defend his own interests? If my interests are legitimate, and my means of defending my interests are legitimate, then what's not to do? ”
In the past, when Chen Jianjun accused a person of selfishness, no matter whether the person was a courtier or a concubine, he would often point fingers, swear by swearing, and even wanted to prove that he was selfless by dying. No one has ever admitted that he is selfish as generously as Zhang Weizhao, and this selfishness is still very natural.
Chen Jianjun was a little stuck for a while, thought for a while, and showed a cruel smile: "Okay!" Then let's make a bet! It's October, and this year, if I abolish the crown prince, but there is no shaking of the mountains and rivers as you said, and the society is restless, I will set up a fire and send you to see your master! If there is indeed a vision of what you said, I will take back the edict! ”
When Zhang Weizhao heard this, he sighed softly, the corners of his mouth curled, and he smiled slightly, but his smile contained a lot of vicissitudes of life. Fire, fire again. She came from the fire, and she ended up going to the fire, so what's the matter?
"What, are you scared?" Seeing that Zhang Weizhao didn't answer immediately, Chen Jianjun sarcastically said: "If you want to change your mind now, it's not impossible." ”
"Nope! Just do what Your Majesty said! Zhang Weizhao still kept smiling. I will not change my mind, and I ask Your Majesty not to break my word. ”
"Good! Wynne! Chen Jianjun summoned to Huai'en: "Take a pen and paper and record what I just said, and let Zhaoming sign and draw it." ”
"Your Majesty, the stakes are high, or ......" Huaien saw that Chen Jianjun and Zhang Weizhao actually set up such a tragic gamble, so he thought about what to say to resolve the deadlock, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Jianjun:
"If you want to write, you will write!"
Huaien had to bring pen and paper and write it according to what Chen Jianjun said.
Zhang Weizhao came over and wrote his name and date neatly.
After writing, Zhang Weizhao didn't say anything more, and saluted: "Xiaodao retires." ”
Chen Jianjun saw that Zhang Weizhao would rather gamble with him than give in, so he couldn't help but be extremely annoyed and said, "Get out!" ”
Zhang Weizhao withdrew from the door.
After Zhang Weizhao left, Chen Jianjun was still angry, and when he saw the "Book of Changes" on the bookcase and the copper coins on the ground, he felt very dazzling, and drank: "Throw these things out for me!" ”
When Huai En heard this, he immediately came over and picked up the copper coin, picked up the Book of Changes, and withdrew.
After a while, when Huai En returned, Chen Jianjun ordered again: "Lay the paper, grind the ink!" I'll draft the edict of the abolished prince now! ”
I waited for a while, but there was no movement. Chen Jianjun turned around and glared at Huai En and said, "What's the matter!" ”
Huai En knelt on the ground with a thud and said, "The hexagram that His Majesty has just divided, clearly shows that the abolished prince is a trip against the sky!" Please think twice, Your Majesty! He bowed his head deeply as he spoke.
"What? Even you were coaxed by Zhaoming real people? Or was it your collusion? The more Chen Jianjun said later, the more stern his tone became.
Huai En raised his head: "The old slave is only thinking about His Majesty and the Jiangshan Society, every day can be seen!" Your Majesty, four years ago, Zhaoming Zhenren gave you a divination, and it was fulfilled one by one afterwards. This time, the hexagram coincides with the current situation. So please be cautious Your Majesty! ”
"What is fulfilled one by one? She said that I wouldn't die right away, that I didn't die, so it was all her credit? She's just observing, opportunistic! ”
"Your Majesty," Huai En straightened up, turned his heart sideways, and said, "When Zhaoming Zhenren gave you a divination, although the old slave was not around, you mentioned that hexagram to the old slave more than once, so the old slave remembered it. You say that the bottom hexagram of your hexagram has the meaning of masculinity and fatherhood, which means that if you can calmly face the passage of time and assume the responsibilities of a man and a father, you can no longer fear death. However, with all due respect, when you faced the prince, you did not regard yourself as a father and a son, but regarded him as an enemy. Your Majesty, he is not an enemy to compete with you, he is your son, your heir! And those people in the Jin family have no blood connection with you, how can you ignore your own blood in order to protect them? ”
"Do you think I'm ridiculous? I didn't expect that! I didn't expect that even you don't understand my heart so much? Why did I do this? Do you really not understand? Chen Jianjun looked at Huai En sadly.
"You've been with me since you were a teenager. I feel that no matter what others do, you are always on my side, which is why I named you Wynne. As a result, you are now all about the prince! Prince! Prince! What about me? What am I? Have I ever lived? Do you all treat me like a living person? ”
When Huaien heard Chen Jianjun say this, he kept kneeling on the ground and couldn't raise his head, his heart was full of pain, and he wanted to say that only His Majesty was the most important thing in his heart, and everything he did and said was for His Majesty's good, but he couldn't defend himself.
Chen Jianjun sat down in a chair dejectedly. He knew that Wynne had always disapproved of his abolition of the crown prince, but he didn't expect that Wynne would say the above to him because of the prince. He didn't expect that such words would be so lethal to him from the mouth of Wyan, who had been standing behind him to take care of him and serve him.
"You, go to Nanjing. I don't want you to serve here. Chen Jianjun said in a low voice.
Nanjing is the old capital of Dayan, and it is also the place where many frustrated eunuchs and officials retire.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The minions really can't rest assured of you! You can punish the minions however you want, just don't drive them away! Wynne kowtowed repeatedly, and soon his forehead turned red.
"Go, go!" Chen Jianjun held his forehead with one hand and waved with the other, not looking at Huaien at all.
After pausing for a moment, Huaien saw that Chen Jianjun had no intention of changing his mind at all. After bowing deeply on the ground, he withdrew.
Chen Jianjun sat next to the bookcase in Xinuan Pavilion, only to feel empty in his heart.
Huai En left the Qianqing Palace, and another eunuch named Yuan Hong made up for it. Yuan Hong is in his thirties, cautious and old, and he was brought out by Huaien. But maybe because he had just made up for it, Chen Jianjun felt uncomfortable no matter how he used it, and even habitually called Huai En when he called people a few times, and after he found out, he was very angry with himself. Tossing back and forth like this, dinner is not good.
When he was about to arrive, Chen Jianjun was still sitting in the Xinuan Pavilion to write the edict of the abolished prince, but he always felt that the wording was wrong, and many papers were only written at the beginning and thrown aside. Chen Jianjun became impatient, and simply threw the pen on the pile of paper.
If Wynne is still there, he will inevitably find a way to persuade him to rest early, recuperate his spirits, and it will not be too late to do anything tomorrow. And Yuan Hong only stood silently in the corner of the wall, not saying a word.
