Chapter 465: Selfish Desires and Confession
The emperor's deep and dark eyes were more deadly than Hantan, and the jumping candle flame exploded, reflecting the emperor's cold face becoming more and more cold, and the raised eyebrows were like hooks, piercing people's hearts and lungs, and pinching the heart of King Chengping.
"I won't blame you, and neither will they, as long as you ......"
"I beg the emperor to let his ministers follow you."
King Chengping knelt down straight, looked up at the emperor sitting on the kang, and said sincerely: "The minister has been reading books for too long behind closed doors, and I don't want to ...... anymore When the emperor is in danger or in trouble, the minister is not by your side. ”
"If Uncle Huang just wants to follow the last wishes of the first emperor, there is no need to wade through this wave of troubled waters, no matter who wins in the end, Uncle Huang will be rich and noble. Compared to them, I am not good to Uncle Huang. ”
The emperor crossed his fingers and told all the things that he had done to the king of Chengping County over the years: "First I regarded the imperial uncle as the queen mother's lover, and because of the anger of the imperial uncle, he personally beat the imperial uncle, and because he ignored me back then, he tortured the imperial uncle in every way, and the leg injuries that often occurred were caused by me. For the emperor's subordinates, the British duke, they were more guarded than reused. ”
"I brought out Mu Shizi to suppress them, I thought I was promoted to a peerless star, who knows...... They don't talk about it, but they don't know how to laugh at me in their hearts. ”
"No, the emperor's thoughts on the generals, they all understand that you thoroughly investigated whether the British Duke and them were paid for nothing, and you did not treat any soldier who was willing to shed blood and sacrifice for the empire."
King Chengping Jun's eyes crossed the distress and a little admiration, "What the imperial brother wanted to do several times back then was not done due to the involvement of all parties, only you, you put all the soldiers in your heart, did your best to allocate food and salary, gave them the best weapons, and even did not hesitate to retreat again and again in front of the Queen Mother, and took out the silver you had worked hard to accumulate, just to give the soldiers the most gold and silver." ”
"The minister was not cautious in his words and deeds at that time, and he did not blame the emperor for misunderstanding the minister. If the minister had known on the same day...... Knowing what the Queen Mother's seat did, she would never dare to let the emperor suffer so much. What you give to your ministers is your retribution, and your self-righteous punishment for your ministers. ”
The corners of the emperor's mouth raised slightly, and he laughed at himself and said: "Let you say this, I have become a wise lord?" ”
"You were originally the Holy Lord of the Ming Dynasty through the ages, without you, the Queen Mother and her ministers alone were afraid that they would lead the empire into decline and eventually be insulted by foreign enemies. The emperor, the minister has been closed for many years, reading is not perfunctory, the minister has read through all the books that His Majesty has read and transcribed, and has also seen the map drawn by His Majesty himself. ”
King Chengping kowtowed heavily, and his banging voice went straight into the hearts of the people, with awe and admiration, "God has mercy, let Your Majesty dominate the world, even if the ministers are selfish, for the common people of the world, the ancestors of the society, will definitely not stand on the side of the rebellious ministers and thieves." ”
"Rebels and thieves? Haha, if he hears this, he will have to be angry, Uncle Huang, his temper is not much better than at the beginning. It's just that I'm more cautious and thoughtful. ”
"The minister said, "You shouldn't have ...... that day." You shouldn't ......."
King Chengping couldn't say anything cruel, and asked softly, "Why did you let him go?" What could you have done more simply to eliminate all the troubles? ”
"Because you're not me, you don't understand what I'm asking for."
The emperor said slowly: "In the past, I could say openly and honestly, I wanted to never be on the throne, sitting on the throne, just to get the empire back on track better and faster, and the king of the world is only a means to me, not the ultimate goal." At that time, I thought, what if I made a wrong decision? I am afraid that it will make the empire more difficult, make the Han people in the Central Plains more heavy, and it will be difficult for one person to reverse or resist the general trend no matter how much he masters, I will leave the King of Wei and leave them, that is, after I go astray, before it is possible to bring the empire into destruction, they can ...... You can kick me off the dragon chair! ”
"But now, my selfishness has overwhelmed everything, I can't lose, I must not lose the throne, I want them to be peaceful and rich now than those ambitions."
The emperor raised his finger and stuck the corner of his slightly wet eyes, "I owe them too much, after sending the young general to be buried, I realized that it was my selfish thoughts that hurt her...... Righteousness, my heart hurts more than Uncle Huang, I don't want to and can't bear that pain anymore, after all, I'm not what I used to be, I'm already the emperor! ”
King Chengping looked at the emperor in a daze, his lips moved his throat but he couldn't make any sound.
"Uncle Huang wants to follow or convince the distressed person is the former me, not the selfish over righteous me, today I see the emperor frankly, and cut open my selfishness to the emperor uncle, I just don't want the emperor to regret it in the future. Uncle Huang just wants to assist the Holy Lord Mingjun and live for generations, and I will tell you clearly that I am no longer there. ”
The emperor stood up, moved his slightly numb feet, looked down at the kneeling king of Chengping County, and said in a hoarse voice: "In order to achieve the goal, I can sacrifice anyone, even the whole world!" ”
"Your Majesty!"
King Chengping's lips were blocked by the emperor's fingers, "Uncle Huang doesn't have to make a decision in a hurry, go back and carefully consider what I said today, what I said tonight is the truth from the bottom of my heart, and there has never been half a lie." ”
The emperor withdrew his fingers, raised his feet and walked towards the back dormitory, "Actually, there are more than one imperial uncle, and I can't have much advantage, when I make up my mind to fight with them, even the imperial uncle who saved me and helped me can't make me change my mind." I've always hated people who are torn between a wedge and a hard place. ”
King Chengping has been kneeling, as if for a long time, and it seems to be just a moment, Wuyong's father-in-law walked in and whispered: "The emperor has gone to bed, the prince can't leave the palace, so the servant takes the prince to the side hall to rest for a while?" Seeing that the time is not far from the early dynasty, the prince can directly freshen up and go to the court after a while. The side hall where you used to live, the emperor still kept, and let the servants clean it all the time, exactly the same as before. ”
“…… This is also what the emperor asked you to say? ”
His throat was bitter and astringent, and he almost burst into tears, what had he missed all these years? Let the emperor let him go again and again, if he fully supported the emperor's proposition that day, the empire would be better than now.
The emperor's selfish obsession will not be so deep.
It was his swaying from side to side, and his thoughtful thoughts everywhere broke the emperor's heart and made the situation more complicated...... Although the emperor is ruthless and capricious, how can he believe that the emperor is selfish and completely ignores the lives of the people? Regardless of the stability of the country?
Even if the emperor is willing, is San Lang willing?
Father-in-law Wuyong smiled humbly, "Except for the emperor who can say a few more words to the third prince and the county lord, he will not use these words to envelop the prince." ”
