Chapter 608: Can We Coexist?
[Remind everyone again, most of the chapters of 590 and 591 have been rewritten, the big plot has not changed, the small details have changed, you can rewatch it if you are interested]
In the afternoon of the next day, Jian Xubai followed the guidance of the palace people and stepped into the side hall of Xuanming Palace.
On this day, the snow was falling in torrents, wrapping the inside and outside of Miyagi in a blanket of silver.
When passing through the atrium outside the hall, wisps of dark incense reminded that a clump of plum blossoms in the corner of Fang Jue was quietly open, revealing its fragrance.
Jian Xubai saw that the plum bush was newly transplanted, and Emperor Sutai had been very busy lately, so he supposedly wouldn't care about such a trivial matter as planting outside the door - but he quickly remembered that the quasi-queen who had been his half-sister for more than ten years seemed to like plum blossoms the most.
It's just that I don't know, is this plum blossom planted for Nie Wuying to see, or is it planted for him, Yanhou?
Jian Xu's thin lips were slightly hooked, his eyes swept away, and he calmly walked into the hall.
"Yan Hou doesn't have to be polite!" Emperor Sutai in the hall was not on the main seat on the Danqi, but he stood under the half-open west window with his hands - in the half-open window, he could clearly see the entire courtyard outside, and he thought that he had been watching Jian Xubai walk in.
Jian Xubai noticed the movement of the plum blossoms, and he must have also noticed it by Emperor Sutai.
Seeing Jian Xubai walking up to him to salute, he took a step forward and gave him a hand, "I invite Yan Hou to come today, but there are some things I want to talk to Yan Hou alone." ”
"Your Majesty, please speak!" Jian Xubai straightened up, looked at the young emperor's face, and said calmly.
The palace people in the palace retreated quietly.
For a while, only the sound of snowflakes falling could be heard nearby.
"I want to thank Grandma Song for yesterday's enlightenment on behalf of the queen." Emperor Sutai looked at him for a moment, and said slowly, "The queen has no city mansion, and where she bothers Grandma Song, she also hopes that Yanhou can be able to reach the sea!" ”
"The heart of the queen's mother, the wife of the courtiers before the mother leaves the cabinet, she will be with the same sisters, sisters reunited, can't help but be happy, how to bother?" Jian Xubai chuckled, "Your Majesty is serious. ”
The words of the two seem to be greetings, but in fact they imply something else: Emperor Su Tai emphasized that Nie Wuying was simple-minded, in order to imply that Jian Xubai had quietly left the palace yesterday and went to King Su's Mansion yesterday, and today he immediately invited Jian Xubai to speak, and there was indeed Nie Wuying's sake, but he definitely didn't deliberately take the lady's route - let alone coaxing Yanhou Mansion now and crossing the river and demolishing the bridge in the future!
And Jian Xubai also hinted that Song Yixiao's persuasion of Nie Wuying was all out of the boudoir friendship, and there was no intention of using or deceiving Nie Wuying.
Their sincerity to each other in this tactful way, although it proves that they both have the intention of having a harmonious relationship with each other, it also proves that they are heavily guarded and alienated from each other.
"I don't know what Yan Hou thinks, can the royal family and the family door valve coexist?" Emperor Su Tai looked at Jian Xu's white and unfazed eyes, his mind turned a few times, and he decided to go straight with a single knife, and suddenly said, "Or, you must be separated from each other?!" ”
He asked such a question so simply and directly, although Jian Xubai still looked calm, his eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Your Majesty should know that although the minister's surname is Jian, he is now considered to be the queen of the Splendid Hall." ”
The implication is that he is now in the camp of the family's gate valve.
Then of course, it is impossible for him to say in front of the emperor that there is a gap between the two - what is the difference between this and directly saying to the emperor, "I will rebel sooner or later"?
"Since ancient times, there has never been a family that supports a dynasty." When Emperor Sutai heard this, he shook his head, but he answered this question himself, "After all, the land is vast and the population is large, and even if the clan is flourishing, compared to this world, there are only a few people after all. What's more, the children of the clan are also virtuous and foolish, if they don't ask about their talents and character, they will be allowed to be officials just because of their bloodline, and when the time comes, they will make a miasma, and the people of the world will not be able to make a living, and in terms of the clan, it is also digging their own graves. ”
The emperor said slowly, "Therefore, if you want to achieve long-term peace and stability, the royal family still needs to share the power of the world with the scholars after all!" ”
"Your Majesty." The emperor's words are tantamount to rejecting the monarch's "dictatorship" and affirming the division of power among the courtiers. ”
- Even if the emperor approves from the bottom of his heart that "the Son of Heaven and the scholars rule together", the scholars and doctors in the world are not only from the family.
Compared with the family gate valve with deep heritage and intertwined relationships, the official eunuchs of the Shu clan are not only easier to use, but also easier and more reassuring to fight when they are not needed.
So what reason does the emperor have to let the officials of the Shu clan not get close, but will turn around to support or tolerate the family gatekeeper?
"Yan Hou thinks so too, that's good!" Emperor Sutai heard Jian Xubai's unmoved, but bowed slightly, "There is a way that the prince will have a kind of Xiangning - although this is from the person who unveiled the rod, it is not useless to change it to the usual: whether the monarch is virtuous or not, it depends on whether he fulfills the responsibility of the monarch and whether he gives the world too peace and health; Whether a minister is qualified or not depends on whether he is loyal to his duties and whether he is worthy of the court! ”
The young emperor said calmly, "As for their origins, it doesn't really matter, does it?!" ”
"Your Majesty is wise." But Jian Xubai still said in a flat tone, "A child of a poor family, if he has amazing talent, he can also soar into the sky, nothing more." ”
The meaning of the words: Even if the emperor does not intend to suppress the family gatekeeper, the comparison between the number of the Wang clan and the Shu clan is placed there, even if seven or eight out of ten people in the Wang clan are talents, and only seven or eight people out of a hundred in the Shu clan are reading materials, but that can't stand the latter There are many people!
In the end, it is not the Shu people who have the advantage?
"At the beginning of the first emperor's accession to the throne, he thought that he would not live long, and in order to pave the way for the Duanhua Dynasty, it can be said that he was exhausted." Emperor Sutai didn't care about his coldness, and continued, "However, even if the first emperor paved the way for Duanhua for more than 20 years, Duanhua was ruined in less than three years after ascending the throne, it can be seen that no matter how hard the predecessors worked, if the descendants did not fight, it would just be a painstaking and generous performance of the ancestors!" ”
He pointed to the snowy scene outside the window, "When people say that parents love their children, they have far-reaching plans. From ancient times to the present, no matter how rich or poor the world is, the heart of the son is the same. However, from ancient times to the present, there are only a few family gate valves? From ancient times to the present, where are the heirs of those imperial princes who were once dominant? ! From ancient times to the present, the descendants of those amazing national players have to be found? ! ”
Emperor Su Tai sighed, retracted his gaze, turned to Jian Xubai, and said in a deep voice, "It turns out that no matter how much precautions you take for a rainy day, you often can't afford to say that your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings!" ”
"For example, Splendid Hall."
"For example, Jiangnan Hall."
"Another example is the first emperor."
"So I won't plan to exterminate the family for the sake of my descendants, because the wise and martial arts are like the first emperor, and they have exhausted their life's efforts to cultivate Duanhua, but the result is so unsatisfactory - it can be seen that life is in the world, even if you are an emperor, you can't control the aftermath!"
"In that case, why should I follow the example of the first emperor?!"
"It's better to only focus on the present, be honest with the ministers, and achieve a good story of the monarch and the minister!"
"As for the descendants of me, if they have the ability, they can follow the example of His Majesty Emperor Taizu or the first emperor, Weijia Hainei, the Holy Spirit Wenwu!"
"If Taizu started from the end of Wei, if the first emperor fought for the predicament, these two ancestors have risen in hardships and hardships and achieved fame for all generations!"
"Really capable children and grandchildren, I don't need to worry about them at all!"
"If he is incapable, how can I pave the way for him, and no matter how much I will kill all the people in the world for him, what is the use?!"
"If you can't help it, you can't help it after all!"
"For such a descendant, instead of cutting through thorns and thorns for him, slaughtering countless people, and forging the road to the throne, it is better to be benevolent, accumulate virtues and save blessings, extend his glory, and add blessings, and maybe he can change the result of a good ending for him."
When Emperor Sutai said this, he looked at Jian Xubai, the young emperor's cheeks, slightly flushed due to emotional excitement, and his eyes, but bright as stars, were looking forward to his answer.
"Your Majesty has already said that Jinxiu Hall and Jiangnan Hall, what more can the minister say?" Jian Xubai was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "It's just...... The minister is willing to believe in His Majesty, but I am afraid that other people will not see His Majesty in the past, but I am afraid that if I don't mention it, I still have doubts about Your Majesty in my heart! If the monarch and the minister want to get along, how can they be suspicious? ”
When he said this, he hinted to Emperor Sutai: You want the monarch and the ministers to be honest with each other, and no longer guard against each other, okay! But you have to show practical action and sincerity, otherwise even if I believe you, others don't, what can I do to convince them for you?
In fact, Emperor Sutai said this part, and Jian Xubai was still not moved-I can't help but say that this young emperor was pitted by his ancestors.
Who is called Da Rui Dynasty, from Emperor Taizu to Emperor Huizong to Emperor Xianjia, the credit is not very good, and it is especially fun to cross the river and tear down the bridge?
Emperor Taizu pit Shen Liu; Emperor Huizong pit the wife and children of the concubine; Emperor Xianjia has more people, family lords, Shu clan eunuchs, married wives, half-brothers and sisters...... Including Emperor Duanhua, to a certain extent, he was actually cheated by this father: if it weren't for Emperor Xianjia's distrust with the family's gate valve, so he was unwilling to pass on the throne to Emperor Sutai, who had good qualifications but was trained by the Su family, but insisted on handing over the throne to the eldest son of Shu who was incapable, Duanhua might not have fallen into today's situation.
In this case, Emperor Sutai said it beautifully, as a courtier, who would dare to believe him just by a few words?
Emperor Sutai also understood this truth.
When he sent someone to invite Jian Xubai over today, he thought about it.
At this moment, he said categorically: "I intend to pardon my wife and child, I don't know what Yan Hou thinks?" ”
Jian Xubai's calm face finally made waves, he first squinted his eyes, examined Emperor Sutai, and saw him looking at him calmly, Fang raised his eyebrows: "I don't know if the Queen Mother has no opinion?!" ”
