Chapter 529: Under the Table
Although Emperor Duanhua has already gone to the throne, so that when Qiu Shuxia and Wei Xi were fighting, their words and demeanors were no longer very serious about him - but before the new monarch was elected, it didn't matter if he lived or died.
Seeing him fainting, he didn't even bother Gu Shao to express his position, so he hurriedly ordered someone to help the emperor back to the throne and summon the imperial doctor to diagnose quickly!
This diagnosis is nothing to look at, it is nothing more than a rush to attack the heart: no wonder, the quarrel between Qiu Shuxia and Wei Xi just now was honest, Emperor Duanhua was not a particularly tough person, and because he was wronged, it was reasonable that he couldn't stand it under shame.
But in front of everyone's eyes, it is really not good to despise an emperor who has not yet officially abdicated.
So Gu Shao reprimanded Wei Xi and Qiu Shuxia very harshly, and the two of them also knelt down and asked for guilt - at this time, Emperor Duanhua hadn't woken up yet, so naturally he couldn't hear their plea, everyone knew it in their hearts, but it was just a gesture.
In the end, Gu Shao said: "Your Majesty is not in good health now, let's get here first!" ”
Wei Xi was stunned when he heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, but Qiu Shuxia happily obeyed his fate and took the lead in retiring.
After all, the purpose of King Su's side now is to make paste and delay time.
"What does Gu Xiang mean by this?" But Wei Xi was struggling, and when Empress Wei rushed over to take over the care of Emperor Duanhua, and Gu Shao also left the palace, he went up to stop him, and asked in a low voice, "Does Gu Xiang want to miss the love of master and apprentice?" ”
"Do you really think that if the old man doesn't say anything and let you all disperse, he can decide the matter of the prince's accession to the throne in the court?" However, Gu Shao sneered when he heard this, stroked his long beard, and said disdainfully, "It's obviously impossible, what's the use of delaying time?" It's better to go home early and discuss countermeasures! ”
Wei Xi was not really anxious, but he was just making a gesture, and at this moment, seeing that Gu Shao seemed to be still facing the prince, he put a snack in his heart, arched his hand, and softened his tone and said: "It's me who is anxious, and I hope Gu Xiang will forgive me!" ”
Accompanied Gu Shao for a few steps, and then said tentatively, "But now Qiu Shuxia is messing around, obviously trying to delay time for King Su to rush back to the imperial capital, but I don't know if Gu Xiang has a good plan to give him?" ”
"Then he needs to come back!" Gu Shao said expressionlessly, "The forbidden army near the left side of the imperial capital ...... Isn't it all in He Wenqiong's hands? ”
Wei Xi's eyes flashed, and he said: "But after all, King Su is a child of the clan, and he is the son of the first emperor's relatives, even if he passed on to King Su Hui......"
"Lu Hehao, a common man, was bold and reckless, colluded with the forbidden army, and plotted to kill King Su, which is a heinous crime and cannot be forgiven!" Gu Shao glanced at him lightly, and said hesitantly, "What?" You're not going to do that? ”
- What he said is the back hand of the Wei family.
Didn't the Su family want to delay time so that King Su could rush back to compete for the throne?
However, the military power near the left of the imperial capital is in the hands of He Wenqiong, and King Su has wings and does not want to fly into the imperial city!
As long as King Su is close to the imperial capital, He Wenqiong will order his army to go directly and kill them all under the pretense of Lu Hehao!
No matter how powerful the "Dai Feng" of the Qingzhou Su clan is, in the end it is just a secret guard of a declining clan, how can it be compared with the elite of the serious army?
If King Su can't come to the imperial capital because of this, that's just right.
I want to see if the Su family has the ability to drag it out for many years!
Now that this hand was broken by Gu Shao, Wei Xi was not surprised, only smiled and said: "This is also a helpless thing, the prince is young, and he still needs to be carefully taught by Gu Xiang, as a foreigner, we can only do our best!" ”
The meaning of the words is that the crown prince ascended the throne and Gu Shao was both glorious.
Gu Shao said lightly: "The prince is smart by nature, and the queen is also a true legend of Wei Shangshu - the old man is very old, and after this incident, he also feels a little tired. ”
When Wei Xi heard this, he only said that Gu Shao didn't plan to wade into the muddy water this time, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
Unexpectedly, Gu Shao continued, "So after the crown prince ascends the throne, the old man should also return to Hongzhou!" ”
"Gu Xianglao should be strong, why do you say this?" Wei Xi couldn't understand the intention of what he said, and after a few words of temptation, he saw that Gu Shao's eyebrows were gloomy, and he thought that he was probably angry with Emperor Duanhua - after all, this emperor, but Gu Shao planned to assist him to become a Ming monarch comparable to Emperor Xianjia!
The result?
In less than three years, he was ruined, and it was an old minister of Gu Shao's level who was unable to return to the sky.
To reason with the fact that courtiers like them, who are dedicated to assisting, are really ready to cry without tears when they are such a monarch!
It's no wonder that Gu Shao retreated.
Wei Xi is happy to see this, can he not understand the eldest daughter he personally taught? Empress Wei definitely wants to leave Gu Shao to check and balance her mother's family - Wei Xi has no ambition to usurp the throne, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Lu family's qi is not exhausted, and if the ambition of being a relative is too much, it is just a loss for the Wei family's foundation for many years, and it is just a matter of following in the footsteps of God!
However, it is rare to encounter the situation of his grandson and boy ascending the throne, and of course he also hopes to take this opportunity to make a fortune for the Fengzhou Wei family.
Speaking of which, the reason why Qingzhou Su can become the best one after the six valves is because there is a Queen Mother Su, who has a deep relationship with Emperor Xianjia and his wife, and the entire Su family has been favored by Emperor Xianjia?
It's just that Empress Wei is different from Empress Dowager Su, Empress Dowager Su has a good relationship with her mother's family, and because after giving birth to her son-in-law, she hopes to let her son ascend the throne, and she needs to rely on the strength of her mother's family.
But Empress Wei has saved a gap with her mother's family, and secondly, her son has already become a prince, so of course she regards the entire Darui world as her son's thing!
In this case, she naturally will not allow her mother's family to grow too strong - after all, as a normal mother-in-law, no one wants her son to be erected as a puppet.
"Gu Shao has been dormant for twenty years before he came out of the mountain, and this time he has to go back after only a few years, it may not be sincere, it is better to test it before you can confirm it!" I am happy to see its success, and I am happy to see it come to fruition, but now that the prince has not yet come to power, Wei Xi is happy and put it aside, and turn to business: "The Su family's background is not under my Wei family, and because the Empress Dowager Su was highly respected by the first emperor in the Xianjia Dynasty, the Su family benefited from this, and the time of more than 20 years in the previous dynasty was enough for the Su family to extend their hands to all aspects of this Darui - so, even if the path of King Su into the imperial capital is cut off, I am afraid that the Su family also has a way to resolve it." ”
He paused, "For example, to support the concubine Lu Hehao to ascend the throne, thinking that he is a puppet, in the name of a fake emperor, to eradicate me!" ”
"Lu Hehao is in Jiamu Palace now." Gu Shao said flatly, but Wei Xi already understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "What Gu Xiang said is extremely true! ”
- are all planning to kill King Su, plus one more Lu Hehao, what is it?
As for saying that Lu Hehao is now dying in Jiamu Palace, will it be considered that the emperor and queen killed people to vent his anger, anyway, the court has now completely torn his face, as long as this kind of thing does not fall into the exact handle, it is meaningless to just fight over words.
What really determines the outcome is not on the table at all, but under the table: for example, the Wei family is waiting for King Su on the left side of the imperial capital, and at the same time wooing Gu Shao, He Wenqiong and others.
For example, Su Shaoge is saying to Qiu Shuxia at the moment: "The most critical point now is actually He Wenqiong!" This person is in charge of the forbidden army near the left of the imperial capital, not to mention that he can block the way back of King Su, even if King Su enters the imperial capital, even if he has successfully ascended the throne, it is not safe! ”
After all, the forbidden army near the left side of the imperial capital was handed over to He Wenqiong two years before Emperor Xianjia's death, and they were purged in every possible way to ensure that they obeyed He Wenqiong's orders and were loyal to Emperor Duanhua.
Years of accumulation are not something that can be disintegrated overnight.
"It's a bit of a trick!" Although Qiu Shuxia was beaten by Wei Xi at the court meeting today, but in front of the emperor, the hundred officials looked at it, and the two of them were not killed, they were all flesh wounds - he didn't take it seriously, and after returning to the next court, he casually took some wound medicine and came over, which would be a little funny with bruises on his face, but at this moment the people in the audience were not in the mood to make fun of it.
After thinking about it for a while, Qiu Shuxia said, "The old thing surnamed He followed Duanhua early in the morning, and he may not be willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light." However, his granddaughter entered the palace not long ago, and now something has gone wrong, and that He Xiuyi must have no good end; and his son He Qian, this month is going to be the eldest princess of Shang Changxing, I don't know if I can do anything from his two juniors? ”
"It's useless!" Su Shaoge shook his head and said, "He Wenqiong is not only a son and a granddaughter!" Especially the granddaughter will be out of the cabinet sooner or later, although the future is bleak now, but if He Wenqiong supports the crown prince with merit, with the shrewdness and thoughtfulness of Queen Wei, she will definitely not be stingy in the palace where she will live in the future. ”
"As for He Qian, to say something unpleasant, with Changxing's usual reputation, He Wenqiong must support the prince even more for the sake of his son's good - after all, if it is the prince who ascends the throne, Changxing's status will definitely plummet, it would be good to be able to survive secretly, how dare he put a golden branch and jade leaf on He Qian's shelf?"
"If you ascend the throne is King Su, Changxing is the sister of King Su, how dare He Qian'an slack off at that time?"
Qiu Shuxia frowned, wanted to say something and held back.
"But we just need to remove He Wenqiong's stumbling block for King Su, and we don't necessarily need to do anything to him." Su Shaoge's face was expressionless, "How did He Wenqiong's predecessor, Linghu Deyin, get to the office?" ”
- He Wenqiong's predecessor, Linghu Deyin, who was the secretary of the Ministry of War, died of illness in his mother, so he resigned and returned to his hometown.
He Wenqiong's own defense is not leaky, and his old father and mother who are far away in Sangzi may not be able to do tricks!
Qiu Shuxia's eyebrows stretched for a moment, and then muttered: "But He Wenqiong's mulberry is thousands of miles away from the imperial capital......
This time and again, even if things go well, it will not work for half a month.
And the current situation, it may be possible to drag on for three or five days, but how can it be delayed for ten days and half a month?
"Why don't we support Lu Hehao or the king of Shu to ascend the throne first?" Qiu Shuxia couldn't help but say, "At that time, the Wei family will be eradicated in their name, and then let them give way to King Yusu!" ”
"No way!" Su Shaoge immediately vetoed, "That person Lu Hehao is gloomy and good at pretending to be dormant, this kind of person is the most dangerous, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't spare his hand right now, the first person I would kill would be him!" Not to mention helping him to ascend to the throne - he had been able to do so many things quietly when he was an idle king before, so that the emperor suffered such a big loss in his hands, but he still can't defend himself! If he becomes the Ninety-Five Supreme, then we may all have to plant it in his hands! So how can you give him such a chance?! ”
Seeing that Qiu Shuxia was unimpressed, Su Shaoge sighed, "My ancestors have seen such an example more than once!" This will be a tight time, and I won't give you a detailed explanation, in short, people like Lu Hehao must not be underestimated because he is weak now! This is one of the lessons that my Su family ancestor has accumulated from several ups and downs! ”
He also said that the king of Shu, "First, Concubine Xu is not a confused person, so she may not be willing to agree; Second, he is the only one among the sons of the first emperor who has not been involved in the turmoil. The Empress Dowager will never allow him to be dragged into the water! ”
After all, Emperor Xianjia did not have many sons, and in order to compete for the throne, they became enemies with each other, and they had reached the point where they did not share the sky.
Finally, the King of Shu didn't get involved because of his age, how could the Empress Dowager allow others to fight this little grandson's idea again?!
Qiu Shuxia knew that he was telling the truth, although the Empress Dowager did not say that she would support King Su at the moment, but Yanhou Mansion and he, the only family member of the Empress Dowager, had already made a choice, presumably the Empress Dowager was still very likely to be on King Su's side - it was very important to offend this King of Shu - but he asked helplessly: "Then what should I do at this time?" ”
According to the current situation, he dragged on for about three more days.
In three days, isn't it good enough to even send someone to He Wenqiong's hometown?
At this time, they didn't know that this problem was about to be solved for them by Lu Hehao.
