Chapter 184: The Emperor's Strategy
The crown prince has always had frequent contacts with King Liang, and he is a family member of his sons and daughters, so the relationship is naturally extraordinary. Today, I saw that King Ning's words had the meaning of denigrating King Liang, and King Ning had always supported the second prince and competed with him for the throne, so I couldn't help but come out and plead a few words. I didn't expect the ancestor to reprimand him a few words, so he didn't dare to come out, and he didn't dare to speak anymore when he stayed aside.
"King Liang has not arrived, although there is a reason for the incident, but after all, he did not arrive in the imperial capital according to the edict, which is a big difference compared to King Ning. Cultivation is important, but loyalty to His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor is even more important. The emperor said a few words categorically, and while accusing King Liang, he also praised King Ning.
"If King Ning has any suggestions, please continue. Don't be like this kid. King Ning is brave and brave, can fight habitually, is famous, and everyone in the world knows it. I have the heart to ask you to take up the post of generalissimo, can you keep my Great Zhou forever? As soon as the Emperor said this, the hall was silent all of a sudden.
I saw King Ning take a few steps forward, come to the throne, kneel on the ground in unison, and replied loudly: "As long as the three martial saints are dedicated to sharing the worries of His Majesty the Emperor, the Great Zhou Empire will definitely be as stable as an iron bucket." Don't worry. If a person who is too young dares to make any attempt, the king will surely behead him and destroy his family in order to repay His Majesty the Emperor. ”
King Ning patted his chest and said solemnly: "The position of generalissimo is only competent for the emperor, and his subordinates are shallow and terrified!" The subordinates must live up to the great trust of the emperor. I am willing to smear the liver and brain of His Majesty the Emperor, and die later. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor! This king swears allegiance to the Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor. ”
"With your words, this seat is relieved. If the three princes are like you, King Ning, why worry about my Great Zhou Empire. The emperor smiled and greatly appreciated King Ning.
"Today, if the three kings are in their respective positions, the world will be safe, and this king is willing to set an example for the three kings. I will do my best to implore King Wu and King Liang to put the stability of the world first, and everyone will unite as one and solve problems for His Majesty the Emperor wholeheartedly. No matter how the situation changes, even if this king is single-handed, he must be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. ”
"You can rest assured of that. The Great Zhou Dynasty has governed the world for so many years, and there are many loyal people around the emperor, who are willing to do their best for the Great Zhou Dynasty. King Ning, you are not alone, my Chu family is strong and strong, and the land is vast. My children and grandchildren are full of talents, and there are countless talents in civil and military affairs. My great-granddaughter, Princess Tianan, is in her twenties, and has been a great spiritual priest for many years at a young age, and the crown prince and the princes are also brave and talented people, all of whom will fully assist you. It's just that I'm leaving now, and the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou are not something that anyone can move if they want to. I'm a little tired, everyone is gone, and everyone will know the relevant decisions soon. I hope that all of you here will share weal and woe with me and unite as one. "The emperor has something to say, soft and hard, evocative.
"Obey the Emperor's Divine Commandment! Greetings, adults! The guards hurriedly lifted up, accompanied by the emperor and the crown prince, and quickly left. And all the people hurried away, and everyone went back to their homes with their own hearts.
Only the emperor, the emperor and the crown prince were left in a side hall. The emperor closed his eyes and was recuperating. He was so tired, already weak, and after the exertion just now. The hall seems to be calm and smooth, but in fact, it is full of crises.
"Old Ancestor, you can't let King Ning be the generalissimo! This man is arrogant, cruel and vicious, and he can't do anything. If he has military power in his hands, who can still govern him? The Great Zhou is in danger! The prince was unwilling and knelt in front of the emperor's bed.
The emperor still closed his eyes and did not speak. His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help it, got up and said, "Second brother suddenly agreed today that King Ning would take over the position of generalissimo. I also didn't understand the little brother, but King Ning didn't even refuse. The stakes are high, the rise and fall of the empire, and the life and death of the royal family. Please think twice! ”
Hearing the emperor say this, the emperor opened his eyes, glanced at his father and son, and said, "It turns out that I didn't arrange it like this, but King Liang and King Wu saw through my strategy. If I kill King Ning, of course it will be easy. But as soon as I go, the kings of Liang and Wu will use this as an excuse to rebel directly. What will you do then? ”
The emperor's father and son were both stunned, and then suddenly realized: "I didn't think of this layer either, I just think that King Ning is unreliable." Or the second brother is thoughtful. Could it be that such an important power as the generalissimo was really handed over to King Ning? ”
"Of course it's true, since you can't eliminate the three of them in one fell swoop, let's let the three of them fight. As long as our Chu family can stay out of the matter, the harder they fight, the safer you will be. Remember not to mix it in, whoever mixes it will be finished. The emperor advised.
"The child has the courage to ask the old ancestor for advice, King Ning has become the generalissimo and has the power alone, if he has different intentions, wouldn't it be too dangerous for us?" The prince is still not at ease.
"Stupid, do you think the Generalissimo has some great power? In my hands, the generalissimo's military orders are like a mountain, and in his hands they are worthless. With a title, can he mobilize a soldier of King Liang and King Wu? Does my Chu family's army listen to his orders? Use your brain, this title sounds like scenery, but it's actually all troublesome. ”
"Then it's up to the three of them to fight back and forth, when will I have peace in the world?" The emperor was a little anxious.
"We need time, Ling Shuang will soon be a Spirit Venerable, she needs time. Got it? Preach the message. In your name, King Ning will be appointed as the generalissimo of the protector of the country, and in the name of the emperor's mansion, Princess Tian'an will be announced as the next emperor. I will rest, and remember, the heavens are falling, and you should not get involved in the battle between their three kings. Endure! The Emperor said with a violent cough.
The emperor and the crown prince hurriedly rubbed his chest for him and stopped him from talking. The emperor gasped violently for a while, and the emperor shouted loudly outside: "Quick, pass on the imperial doctor, quickly." ”
The servants rushed out, the imperial doctors rushed in, and the palace was in chaos. The rest of the imperial capital is also turbulent. Each king has its own power here, and most of the princes and nobles are here, even those who go out to serve also have families or eyeliner here.
For a time, people came and went in the imperial capital, and they were in a hurry. Above the high hall, whispering, in the teahouse and wine shop, talking loudly. All kinds of people shuttle between the mansions, all kinds of news circulate among all kinds of people, etc., and the night in the imperial capital is not quiet, so lively.
