Chapter 625: Forcing the monarch to play, forcing him to go to the domain
In front of the main hall of Qianming Palace, a column of guards saw the Son of Heaven striding over, and they were all bent down a little bit under the leadership of Gonggong Zhan.
The Son of Heaven turned a blind eye to everyone, only when the pair of Xuanjin silver-patterned boots entered the high threshold of the main hall, his right arm was slightly erected, and Sui Cong, who was obviously bowing his eyes, seemed to have a pair of eyes on the top of his head, and accurately accepted this signal, and stopped his pace outside the threshold in time, only the eunuch Xiao Li, who was still serving in the palace, still followed.
The Son of Heaven took a few steps to the left, suddenly paused again, turned his head and looked at the high dragon chair on the cloud platform in the hall, the corners of his eyes were tilted upward, and his eyes instantly became gloomy a little. Even if you sit on the top and are condescending, there is always a danger of crumbling.
"Zhao Gu asked." After dropping this sentence, the Son of Heaven still turned into the imperial study.
He did not go around the throne behind the imperial case, but stood still in the golden sun shining in from the north window, and the palms behind him were clenched into fists.
When the Son of Heaven was still King Qing, he didn't really take Yu Feng very seriously, and what he cared about guarding was nothing more than the King of Chu, the trend of this vein, not a person. Taizong's favor to Yu Feng is based on his pity for the sick and weak only son of the king of Chu, and the first emperor's trust in Yu Feng is also because of the same reason, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, if the king of Chu has another son, how can the position of the son of this world not fall on the head of the sick Yu Feng.
Yu Feng is nothing more than a scholar who can only play with a pen, and there are many Confucian scholars in the imperial court, even if he writes "Cangsheng Fu", he can be famous and respected all over the world because of his clan identity.
What people are afraid of in the Chu Wangfu is the old generals who are distributed all over the place, and they are by no means those sour and rotten scholars.
Yu Feng could not practice martial arts due to his frailty, so he had to develop in the aspect of literary talent, and the Son of Heaven even laughed at the prince of the palace for going to Yizhou to study, and he also needed to be gilded with a layer of gold under the famous Confucianism.
If Yu Feng was really wise, he should have taken over and followed those old generals of the Chu Palace, won their respect, and could he subdue those who led the troops with a pen?
In the eyes of the Son of Heaven, Yu Feng's only credit over the years is nothing more than the last time he cured the level of the epidemic, if he is replaced by an ordinary courtier, he can probably become the capital for promotion and heavy treatment, but as far as the clan is concerned, it is really redundant.
Don't blame the Son of Heaven for a short time, when Jin Rongzhong wanted to plot against Yuan Qi to commit Jinyang, this matter was deliberately concealed by the first emperor, except for the people involved, that is, the first heir in the first emperor's mind, Yu Haoxi also knew at the beginning, but that person was cunning, and he could guess that Yu Feng was the key with clues, and he was impressed by the prince of Chu, and did not think that the reason why he won the trust of the emperor was only based on the old merits of his father and ancestors and the pity of the superiors.
In today's view, the king of Chu is very affectionate, guarding a weak eldest son who vows not to marry, so that the king of Chu will decline sooner or later, when the first emperor was in power, because of his trust in the father and son of the king of Chu, of course, he should be jealous, but now he has been replaced by him in the dragon chair, as long as the Wei Guogong line is removed, the successor of the Chu Wangfu is not enough?
Abandoning the power and family business for the sake of his children's private affairs, the King of Chu is a lovely person, perhaps because he is so affectionate and sexual, Taizong and the first emperor will be wholeheartedly trustworthy and defenseless.
Therefore, if Qin Zi opened his mouth to let him give him a marriage, and wanted to marry into the Chu Palace's mansion to replace the princess, the Son of Heaven agreed without much hesitation, and even said that the seventh sister is so competitive and often in the limelight, how ambitious is it, it is nothing more than a thirst, no matter how clever she is, in the end, she is a woman, the Chu Wangfu has no successor, and then she dissolves the marriage with the Su family, and the eldest daughter-in-law has become his eyes and ears enough to control, and the power of that vein will be eaten away by him sooner or later.
Thinking about it this way, Qin Ziruo, who is slightly better than ordinary women, has really become the best choice for the princess of the King of Chu, and the seventh sister is not confused, can you not know who she relies on?
The two prefectures of Su and Chu, one suppressed the other and the other, and then vigorously implemented the military reform, concentrated the imperial power, and then weakened the Qin family, and abolished the Qin family and set up another sage, even if the Qin family still has a princess, but the king of Chu still has the ability to threaten the imperial power at that time?
This is the plan of the Son of Heaven, he did not disdain the layout of the first emperor before his death, but unfortunately his plan was destined to be full of twists and turns from the beginning.
Because of the existence of the Empress Dowager, it is not easy to clean up the Su family at the moment.
The Empress Dowager and the Yan family are in serious trouble at this time.
And today......
The Son of Heaven couldn't bear the patience and his head was restless, and his fist slammed into the imperial case, smashing on a pile of notebooks with a muffled sound.
At first, he thought that there was really news of the Su family, but he didn't think so, but Yu Feng actually said that there was still no news, but because the remnants of the Xiao family were active in Yunnan and Guizhou, he invited him to go to the domain, in order to eradicate the remnants, and ask the truth about the abduction of the Su clan from his mouth, and find out the whereabouts of the Su family.
In front of the eldest princess and the empress dowager, two people who regard the Su family as a palm bead, it is difficult for the Son of Heaven to say that the Su family has only one way to die, so he is just a support, an important minister of the Chu Kingdom, serving in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, it is really not appropriate to leave Beijing, and the remnants of the Xiao family can be handed over to the local officials to lead the troops to clean up.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager also bowed her head slightly, and seemed to agree, the Son of Heaven took a long breath.
Yu Feng immediately put on a "love species" appearance, knelt down and pleaded, saying that he and the Su family were married to the family, and the life and death of the Su family were uncertain, and he really couldn't stand idly by, and he was bound to arrest the remnants of the Qin prisoner with his own hands and interrogate the whereabouts of his wife. The eldest princess also followed up to plead, so the empress dowager immediately changed her attitude, and actually said that the king of Chu was originally the king of the domain, and the reason why he did not go to the domain was because the three generations of emperors regarded him as a pillar of the minister, and he was reluctant to leave Beijing, but the heavenly family owed something, so the first emperor left a secret decree when he was alive, allowing the king of Chu to go to the domain, and he would be allowed.
This is another compromise with Emperor Naxian to convince him!
The Son of Heaven understands very well in his heart, what is the concern for his wife, Su has been missing for so long and there is no news, even if his fate is big, he is afraid that he will be defiled by someone, and Yu Feng is willing to wear a green hat on his head? It's all an excuse, the king of Chu wants to get out of the control of the imperial court, far away in Chuzhou, the king of Chu can transfer his connections to Yu Feng without any scruples, so that he can subdue the old generals, in the final analysis, it is the empress dowager who is unwilling to give up power, and supports the Su and Chu mansions to resist the imperial power and completely turn him into a puppet.
He underestimated the father and son of the King of Chu, and also underestimated the Weiguo Mansion!
And immediately after, the Empress Dowager asked Yu Feng to report the information collected from various places "inadvertently" because of tracking the remnants of the Xiao family, and those rumors were disturbing, which made the Son of Heaven angry! The rumors of Jinyangjing were easily quelled, but I didn't expect the place to be even more vigorous, this is by no means accidental, someone must have deliberately spread it, so that his throne could not be justified, and the person behind it was ...... The Son of Heaven looked directly at Yu Feng with a cold gaze, but the man looked back calmly, without the slightest weakness.
The Son of Heaven didn't think that the Su and Chu governments would be so bold and reckless, they must be the Queen Mother!
She just wants him to understand that his throne has not yet been secured, and he must "bow his head to his ears", far Chen, Qin and close to Su and Chu, especially the Yan family!
But if he is really at the mercy of the Empress Dowager, the imperial authority will never really be in his hands.
So the Son of Heaven stared at Yu Feng and chuckled: "Ignorant people slander the emperor, and they are rebellious, why is it wrong for me to put the crime to death?" Can anyone in Kyoto dare to do something rebellious? Since the place is not extinguished, I will order that torture will be suppressed, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to deter rumors. What does Yuan Yang think? ”
Yu Feng got up and raised his head: "Forgive the minister, the people are innocent, there should be people with ill intentions to instigate, if the bloody suppression will cause the people's resentment to boil, it is definitely not the way to govern the world, and it should thoroughly investigate the people who spread rumors behind their backs." ”
Ha, how dare he let Checha? The Son of Heaven laughed angrily, and the corners of his forehead were bruised.
But the Empress Dowager also opened her mouth: "Yuan Yang said very much, those unfounded words, even if the people are ignorant, they will not believe it, but the saint uses cruel means to deter, so that the people in Beijing are panicked, but it is a fact, moreover, the first emperor was sick, and he personally named the king of Balang Liao, and chose the day to go to the vassal to inform the people, at present, the saint has not allowed the king of Liao to take the domain, Liulang and Qilang are not only not titled, but even not free, how not to make the people suspicious?" will be bewitched by those rumors, and the mourning family thinks that thorough investigation is certain, but the saint must also let the world see the friendship and affection of the opponents and feet, so that the rumors can be fundamentally criticized and suppressed in one fell swoop, which will only make the world believe in the rumors more and fall for the traitor's scheme. ”
In fact, the Empress Dowager also suspects that this matter is manipulated behind someone's back, the six and seven princes were placed under house arrest, and their mother clan was also defeated, without such strength, the King of Liao has a good character and will not do this vicious thing, as for the Su and Chu mansions, if they have a suspicious heart, as early as the time of the emperor's collapse, they will not obey the holy order, the first emperor did not have an edict to leave the world, with the momentum of the Su and Chu mansions, if they do not accept it, it is bound to be another turmoil.
The first emperor knew that the oil ran out that day, but the Su and Chu mansions were hidden in the dark, although Wei Guogong was in charge of the forbidden army, but he entered the palace alone, the first emperor had already prepared, and had been deployed in the forbidden palace.
But as the first emperor expected, the Su and Chu governments all obeyed her decision as the empress dowager, indicating that there was no second heart.
It seems that the Empress Dowager has been able to trust the father and son of King Chu so far.
It is very likely that the rumors are spread by the remnants of the Xiao family, who want to use the sudden collapse of the first emperor without an edict as an excuse to cause civil strife.
How can the Empress Dowager sit back and watch the national political chaos and regenerate the flames of war?
However, the Son of Heaven was far away from the good ministers and heavy treacherous and suppressed his siblings, these misfortunes were expected by the first emperor, and the empress dowager really hoped that the Son of Heaven would be sober, alienate the Qin family, and act step by step according to the plan of the first emperor.
The Son of Heaven really wants to refute the Empress Dowager, but her grandmother is just a woman, what do you know about military affairs? But thinking of his own situation, he had to swallow his anger, but he was really unwilling to let the two kings of Liao and Chu go to the domain and raise tigers for trouble, and in the end he only promised that he would consider it carefully, and said goodbye with a frosty face.
In fact, the Son of Heaven also saw Qin Huaiyu's face, since he ascended the throne, Qin Huaiyu has pointed the finger at the Chen family, competing for strength, forming a party to consolidate power, and trying to tilt power to the government and the opposition, how can he let it go? The Qin family is so unbearable, and it is really embarrassing to have such a queen - among the rumors, some people say that the first emperor chose the Qin family as the princess of Qing, just because he saw that she had no manners, so it can be seen that he had no intention of passing on the throne of King Qing from beginning to end!
It's ridiculous that the Qin family still wants to rely on the name of their relatives to hold power and restrain the emperor!
But now he has to indulge the Qin family, because the number of people used by the Son of Heaven is already limited, and if he cuts off his arm again at this time, how can he compete with the Empress Dowager?
Despite this, the Son of Heaven still didn't dare to trust Qin Huaiyu, for example, when the two kings went to the domain, the first thing he thought of was to ask Gu Yuwen to discuss.
Gu Yuwen was born in a poor family, although his wife was born in a family, but Wei Ji was timid and cautious, and was persuaded by Gu Yuwen, so he obediently handed over his resignation and gave up the phase. Wei Ji is no longer afraid, Gu Yuwen still has such a handle in the hands of the Son of Heaven to marry another wife in order to be rich and noble, which can ruin his reputation at any time, and the Son of Heaven is naturally not afraid that he has two hearts.
It is more reassuring to give reuse.
At this time, the Son of Heaven was full of anxiety, and shouted again: "Why hasn't Gu Qing come yet, go and destroy it quickly!" ”
Xiao Li was so frightened that he hurriedly agreed to leave the study, and as soon as he arrived at the main hall, he saw Gu Yuwen come in sweating, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
