Chapter Fifty-Six: The Cold
The name of the speaker is Huang Zicheng.
He has been Zhu Yunwen's sworn friend since he entered the court as an official, he has followed Yunwen since he was a child, and he is also Yunwen's most trusted person.
Huang Zicheng is a native of Jiangxi, Hongwu eighteen years, he became a blockbuster, in the imperial examination that year with the highest score won the title of Huiyuan, and was later selected as the East Palace companion, responsible for accompanying Yun Wei to study, school.
This is a promising task, because the crown prince is the future emperor, and the fact that he can get this position shows the depth of his knowledge.
When Yun Wei was the emperor's grandson, he was always by his side, and an incident deepened the relationship between him and Yun Wei.
Once, he passed by the East Palace, but he happened to see Yun Wei sighing outside the East Pavilion Gate.
He called out to the entourage around him, and said to Yun Wei in a serious tone, "Your Highness is worried about something, you might as well tell me about it." ”
Yun Wei saw that it was Zicheng who came over, and the family didn't say anything outside the door, so they told him everything they thought in their hearts, "Grandpa Huang called me to the study today, saying that he is old and will enter this loess one day." He has placed all his hopes on us, the younger generations. ”
After Yun Wei finished speaking, he frowned and sighed slightly unconsciously.
Zicheng thought for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid I want to congratulate Your Highness, Emperor Gao intends to pass on the throne to you, this is a blessing from heaven." ”
Yun Wei didn't know that he was the future emperor. It's just that he is young and strong, and this country has been handed over to him, how can he afford such a big burden.
Now all the vassal kings in the court are eyeing him, and Emperor Gao is very fond of Yun Wei. But despite the opposition of his sons, he made up his mind to support him as emperor. Emperor Gao is a good grandfather, but doing so is nothing more than harming Yun Wei.
"If I sit on that throne, my nine imperial uncles will be inseparable from me. Although I have been instructed by masters since I was a child and learned some kung fu, I am not greedy for life and afraid of death, so I can fight to the death. It's just ......" Yun Wei slowly lowered his head, his brows furrowed slightly, "At that time, I was the king of a country, the country and the society, and the suffering of the people in the world was all in my hands. At that time, millions of iron hooves will step through the capital, but I don't know the art of war, with my strength alone, no matter how strong my martial arts are, what is the use? Although I am mixed with the rivers and lakes, I have no intention of being in the opposition. ”
Zicheng knew what Yun Wei was thinking, he was still a teenager, and these things should not have been imposed on him. How helpless he was, who told him to be born in this emperor's family.
Zicheng smiled slightly and comforted: "Your Highness, don't worry, the kings' forces can only be used to protect themselves, if they dare to rebel, the imperial court will definitely be able to win if they send troops to attack them!" ”
Yun Wei listened to it in his heart, and he could hear it, this sentence was just Zicheng's words to comfort him.
Although Yun Wei knew, he was also full of gratitude to him.
He knew that the so-called self who owned the world was nothing but a lonely person, a helpless person, his life was not used to enjoy wealth and honor, from the day he sat on the throne, the pain had begun, and he had to guard against the ministers, the vassal kings, the eunuchs, and everyone around him. He and his throne are an open goal, ready to deal with external and internal pressures and blows.
He wants to spend his life defending his power, and once the throne of power is taken away, it will also mean the end of his life. Because there can only be one emperor. This is both a natural law and a social law. At this time, he was so helpless.
Since becoming the emperor, the people around him have slowly become unable to see through, only Zicheng has been by his side for many years and never abandoned.
