Chapter 490: Uncle and nephew of the Su family
When Gu Shao heard this, a glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he snorted coldly: "That old man in Weixi! Your Majesty was forced to give in by the courtiers today, and he came to me with him—didn't he want His Majesty to suspect me?! ”
Flicking his sleeves resolutely, "No! Tell someone to drive the man away! ”
The old servant ordered someone to do it according to his words, and when he came back, he also sighed a little emotionally: "Your Majesty is too messy!" For such a big matter, I don't have to discuss it with you first, so I make my own opinion! This is good, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military palace forced His Majesty to give in, although you helped him say that this is called being good as flowing, but how can the ministers not feel that this Majesty is becoming more and more out of tune? ”
"Your Majesty is young, and there are some who can't hold their breath." Gu Shao rubbed the corners of his forehead, his face was very ugly, "But these people are trying their best to fall into the well, and it's not a good thing!" ”
He pondered for a while and said, "It's already October, and next month is the Queen Mother's birthday...... Although it is said that the Empress Dowager replied that things should be settled, but the gap between her and Your Majesty's ancestors and grandchildren has fallen, so it is not good! Originally, in this case, the most suitable ones to mediate were Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom and Yan Hou. But these two, the former is lying on the couch and is not easy to enter the palace; The latter was reprimanded by His Majesty for sending his wife, and he didn't dare to mention it. It's better to let King Su and King Xiang return to the imperial capital and persuade them! ”
"At the beginning, the first emperor specially left a will to send these two kings to the domain." The old servant was surprised when he heard this, "What I'm afraid of is that they stay in the imperial capital to make trouble, and now you want to let them come back, in case something happens?" ”
Gu Shao shook his head and said: "The reason why the first emperor wanted to send them away was mainly because he was afraid that when the new monarch ascended the throne, these two behind-the-scenes supporters would rely on their own force and disrupt Gangchang!" Moreover, it is to make the new monarch's heart happy: the brother who once opposed the new monarch was not only passed away, but also couldn't even stay in the imperial capital, so he could only be sent to a remote place to live in secret! ”
"In this way, the new monarch feels that the first emperor has helped him take revenge, and the thoughts of these two brothers can be lightened!"
"But now the situation is different, at that time, Your Majesty went wrong one after another, and the imperial capital was a little messy."
"How can you leave these two people outside again, so that they can watch the fire from the other side, and slowly ponder how to fall into the well?"
The old servant thought for a while and said, "But since the death of the eldest princess and his wife, King Xiang has nothing to fear!" And King Su's words, Empress Dowager Su, Su Shaoge, and Su Bofeng are all in the imperial capital, and King Su alone may not be able to make any waves! Your Majesty is embarrassed, and if you see that the two kings are still in the capital, you may want to do more and more unpopular things! At that time, wouldn't it give the Empress Dowager Su and her ilk a chance? ”
"If they want to have a chance, they have to live for King Su!" Gu Shao sneered and said slowly, "Once King Su is dead, will the Su family still be able to openly rebel against the condemnation of the world?!" ”
"The Su family has a deep foundation in the army, and there are Shen and Liu families in the northwest, and their minds are unknown."
"Since He Wenqiong was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of War, although he has made some achievements, it is impossible to erase all the influence of the Su family at this moment!"
"Fortunately, this person is very persuasive, and he has not taken care of the distance in the past two years, and has concentrated on bringing the forbidden army of the imperial capital to His Majesty's side!"
"As long as the two kings of Suxiang come to this imperial capital, the Su family dares to make any more changes, and they can't only disappoint the first emperor!"
Gu Shao exhaled and said in a cold voice, "After all, when the first emperor told me, he only said that he would try his best to preserve the royal brotherhood, but he didn't say that he must protect the second king of Suxiang - after all, the most important thing is Your Majesty!" ”
The old servant groaned: "I'm afraid that the Su family won't agree." ”
After a pause, "I'm afraid the Empress Dowager won't agree?" The old slave listened to the people below in the past two days, saying that the news came out in the palace, and in the past two days, the Empress Dowager Su went to the Qingxi Palace two or three times under the pretext of asking for instructions, and each time she had a long talk with the Empress Dowager alone. You know, sir, the Empress Dowager is now ...... to Your Majesty"
"The Empress Dowager, I'll go to the palace tomorrow and talk to her!" Gu Shao pondered for a while and sighed, "As for the second king, this matter really can't be delayed any longer!" If it drags on any longer, something big will happen! ”
- If Emperor Duanhua has been sitting firmly on the throne, it would be okay to keep these two princes.
At most, the emperor felt unhappy, and the overall situation was still stable.
But now Emperor Duanhua is frequently tossing, which is becoming more and more unpopular.
Then Gu Shao has to put the killing of these two kings on the agenda - otherwise this throne will have to be replaced sooner or later!
Thinking of this, Gu Shao couldn't help frowning, "Your Majesty, is this intentional, or unintentional?" ”
When Emperor Xianjia entrusted Gu Shao on the eve of his death, he was a secret conversation between the monarch and the minister, and even Emperor Duanhua was not allowed to serve on his side.
It is all because Emperor Xianjia also mentioned the two kings of Suxiang in the entrustment, especially the king of Su: "This concubine, born after the Yuan Dynasty, originally wanted to love Baoai I, but he had no choice but to leave the year." Partially, he has a grudge with the prince, and in the future, he will take care of the prime minister, regardless of the future and wealth, he can die a safe and good death, don't let the white-haired people of the Yuan Dynasty send the black-haired people! ”
Of course, such words are not easy for Emperor Duanhua to hear, after all, Emperor Xianjia said this, making it clear that he was not worried about Emperor Duanhua's promise to himself, so he had to add a guarantee to King Su here in Gu Shao.
But Gu Shao's performance in the past two years, Emperor Duanhua should have vaguely guessed something - even if the emperor himself can't guess it, there are always people who are willing to remind the emperor, or through all kinds of "unintentional", let the emperor wake up on his own.
"The second king of Suxiang really can't stay!" After realizing this, Gu Shao's expression was completely cold, if Emperor Duanhua didn't even believe in himself, an auxiliary minister, with the emperor's own talent, how could he sit on the throne for a long time?
However, Gu Shao didn't just suspect the second king of Suxiang, after all, King Liang also had the motive of pitting Emperor Duanhua, and the old guy from the Wei family, Wei Xi, had just sent someone to increase Emperor Duanhua's suspicion of him.
This feeling of being the enemy of the world, even Gu Shao felt a lot of pressure, and couldn't help but think about it.
At about the same time, after the Marquis of Ji's Mansion - Su Nianyi, the Duke of Jiguo, "died of illness", his eldest son Su Shaoxin attacked the prince as the Marquis of Ji, originally Su Shaoxin was going to come to the imperial capital to mourn, and he took it to the Ministry of Rites to complete the procedures for inheriting the title.
But the Su family was worried that Emperor Duanhua would be served, so Ji Guogong died, and after Su Shaoxin heard the news, he was so grief-stricken that he fainted in public, and then he was so sick that he wanted to die, and it is said that he couldn't get up until now.
Although the death of his father is a big deal, as a son, he is still the eldest son of Chengjue, so he shouldn't even attend the funeral.
However, there is a way that the law is not human, Su Shaoxin looks like "he is on the road today, and he will go to Huangquan tomorrow", and the court is not so mean that he must be forced to God - in the end, Ji Guogong does not have no descendants to preside over the funeral, his second son and eldest grandson are in the imperial capital!
Because Su Shaoxin attacked the Jue, the Jiguo Mansion still belonged to the Su family after subtracting the system of passing.
In the backyard at this moment, Su Shaoge personally made tea, and then talked to his nephew Su Bofeng: "Auntie went to the Empress Dowager today to test the results are good, the Empress Dowager is indeed annoyed with His Majesty because of these two things, although there is no clear hint, but it has already revealed that she is happy to see it happen!" ”
"It seems that Yan Hou's status in the heart of the Empress Dowager is not low!" Su Bofeng took a sip of tea and muttered, "Do you want to push it up and let the Empress Dowager simply stand on our side?" ”
Su Shaoge shook his head and said: "The Empress Dowager has experienced the palace dispute when His Majesty Emperor Huizong was in the palace, but she is not such a foolish person as Your Majesty!" Just click to the end, too much eagerness, maybe it will be self-defeating. What's more, although the Empress Dowager didn't say that she would help us, as long as she didn't help Your Majesty, it would be a good thing for us! ”
"If you want to start with Yanhou, why do we do it directly?" Su Bofeng put down the tea bowl and explained, "Second Uncle forgot Mrs. Yan Guo, oh, is it time to talk about the Jian Song family?" Although Jian Song will escape for various reasons, even her life has been cut, even if she doesn't dare to resent Your Majesty, isn't she afraid that Your Majesty will continue to settle old accounts in the future? She has always been favored by Yanhou, if she can get her help......"
"That's why I said we don't have to do anything else." Su Shaoge said, "Hengzhu has already helped persuade Yanhou, why should we do it again?" ”
Su Bofeng suddenly said: "Your Majesty is having fun now!" ”
"But don't take it lightly!" Su Shaoge reminded, "In the end, he is the prince of the first emperor, the first emperor Yingming I, before he died, how could he not arrange a few more hole cards for him?" Fortunately, his younger brother is also restless, and was exposed by Gu Shao - let's let Liang Guogong go on the road in front, just sit back and enjoy his achievements! ”
Su Bofeng worried: "I'm afraid that Liang Guogong may not be willing to do this, right?" He had not revealed his ambitions before, so he was naturally anxious to calculate His Majesty's father and son in order to usurp the throne; But now that everyone else has been in the edict for a while, if it weren't for His Majesty's intention to be lenient now, at least this time it would be a lifelong confinement for the common people, how would he dare to act rashly? ”
Liang Guogong is not a fool, before his true face is revealed, once Emperor Duanhua and the crown prince are tragic, he can inherit the throne as the younger brother of Emperor Duanhua, maybe he will just press the death of Emperor Duanhua's father and son on the head of the two kings of Suxiang, kill these two brothers, and stabilize the throne!
But now everyone knows that he has made a lot of small moves since Emperor Duanhua came to power, and he has been busy usurping the throne - once Emperor Duanhua's father and son have three long and two short, whether he did it or not, it would be good if he was not dragged into the water!
Where is there any hope of succession?
Even if he took 10,000 steps back, he reluctantly succeeded to the throne, and the two kings of Suxiang also happened to avenge Emperor Duanhua's father and son, and raised troops to support justice!
Therefore, whether this Liang Guogong dispelled the idea of usurping the throne from now on, he would definitely lie dormant for a while.
The Su family wanted him to go ahead...... How easy is it to say?
However, Su Shaoge just laughed at his nephew's worries: "There are some things that you can't turn back, Liang Guogong wants to be well-behaved...... Have you asked the queen mother? ”
He said slowly, "The queen mother has fallen into such a situation today, Liang Guogong, but she has contributed a lot!" Do you think that the queen mother is now 'recuperating' in Weiyang Palace, and the Wei family also looks like she is keeping to herself, so she really forgets this grudge? ! ”
