169. The prime minister with great ambitions
Recommended: Witch Doctor Awakening.
It was precisely because the emperor had carefully looked at the jade that he subconsciously did not doubt the authenticity of the jade.
What kind of place is the palace, it is a collection of the world's treasures, cherished documents and materials or something, not to mention, even the various handwritings of the emperors have survived a lot, the handwriting on the jade, and the popular writing earlier, that is really the same, it is exactly the same.
However, after Prime Minister Zhao Cheng said this, he immediately wavered in his opinion, and it can even be said that from his original intention, he didn't want this jade to be real! Why do I have so much credit for the throne I have worked so hard to obtain, and the country that I have worked so hard to manage? It seems that my Yan Chu can't play without you, Feng Zhanchen, and the wind helps Yan Fei, and the wind dies. Is it that serious?
Have it? The answer is naturally no, but there is still some panic in my heart, what if it is true? He can't afford to gamble!
And Prime Minister Zhao naturally won't think so, his consciousness is to hope that this thing is true, but now? He must find a way to prove that this is a fake. Even if it's true, he's going to make it fake!
Why is it so contradictory, is it true or false hope? There is really a real truth, "The wind helps Yan Fei, and the wind kills Yan Death", he naturally focuses on the second half of the sentence, you both lose, isn't it the time for me Zhao Cheng to show his ambitions? I think this Yan family is your Yan family's good, but how many things are in charge of my Zhao Cheng Prime Minister? How many schemes and strategies are not from my hand of Prime Minister Zhao? Now that the princes are eyeing each other, and the emperor is being tricked into treating Feng Zhanchen as an enemy, isn't this a precursor to chaos?
Isn't it a great opportunity for heroes to emerge from the so-called chaos in the world?
When a person gets more, he wants more. The same is true for Prime Minister Zhao. He is not satisfied with one person and above ten thousand, and if he becomes the leader, wouldn't it be better?
Why am I the one who does the work, and you are the one who enjoys the honor? Why do you take what you take, it is me who makes mistakes, and it belongs to you if you make merits? Isn't it because you're the emperor? If one day......
Prime Minister Zhao also has a small idea in his heart, although the emperor now trusts Ran Shangshu the most, but he relies on him Zhao Yuansu the most, in addition, he secretly stands in the team of King Yan, and King Yan is from the queen, is the son-in-law of today's princes, and is also a very promising successor.
King Yan has an arrogant personality, so he is naturally easier to control than the emperor. He actually has a long-term plan in mind. It's just that the time is not yet ripe.
Now he wants to create an illusion that the jade is fake for the emperor, doesn't he just hope that the emperor and Feng Zhanchen will continue to fight? Only then will he be able to find more opportunities. Although Feng Zhanchen is only a second-grade official, his influence is by no means comparable to those princes, and getting rid of him with the emperor's hand is equivalent to making his road smoother in the future.
Of course, these are just ideas now, and the most important thing now is, of course, to coax the emperor to pass the current difficulties, and the emperor's anger and fools can see it, and he Zhao Chengxiang is no exception. Moreover, it was his idea to kidnap Mrs. Feng, and the consequences were naturally something he had to bear, but he also knew that the emperor valued him now, and naturally he would not give him any punishment, so he was basically safe.
"Tell me, what if the jade is real?"
Forehead? I'm not going to make it happen at all, okay? But you have to give a set of arguments, don't you? Why don't you want to answer the emperor's question?
"Your Majesty, if it is true, then Feng Zhanchen naturally wants to keep it, but just in case, it is still necessary to control and reduce his military power. There's still a long way to go, and we still have a lot of opportunities. When the time is ripe, he will send someone from the past to be his deputy and slowly eat away at his influence, and with our people in the southwest, it is naturally not difficult to catch him a little handle. Even if he really can't catch any mistakes, there are frequent wars in the southwest, and it's still okay for him to suffer some damage.
When the time comes, he will act again, so that his honor is very high and his real power is very small, so that the emperor can rest easy. Even if he has a lot of influence?
History is written by the victors from the inside, isn't it the emperor who has the final say in the future? ”
This Prime Minister Zhao Cheng does have some brains, and he has been blinded by the emperor, but he is a rational analysis here, and there is a degree of advance and retreat, no wonder the emperor values him more, and he has to look at his ideas first.
"Well, that makes sense. Over the years, he has been the leader of the general army, but in fact, there are too few people available in the court, which has made him a force in the southwest, and he is also a lucky one, he has done some good things a few times, and I don't know who spread it, anyway, it is really good in the people's reputation.
Then we cut the military power, so that he can not achieve great things, naturally it is the best. If the legend is true, then it is not impossible to have a watchdog. ”
…… Prime Minister Zhao was taken aback, and his heart was cold! The emperor actually said that the Feng family is a watchdog! He suddenly had a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox. In his heart, he also has an opinion on the emperor, and now he has to be reused, if one day, he loses power, and I don't know what this cold emperor will say about himself and how to deal with himself! This is also a reason why he wants to rebel against the emperor! 1637
What else could it be to give yourself an excuse to be reassured? Let him follow the wind and Zhanchen to stand in a team, and jointly oppose the Yan family's world and kill him.
No matter what, the two still have one opinion in the end, that is, let the old lady let go first. Although both of them are a little reluctant, this step has to be taken like this, you can't let Feng Zhanchen continue to curse tomorrow morning, right? You can't break faith with the people, can you?
Fortunately, there are many roads from the palace to the outside, and the old lady is secretly sent out, and the gods don't know it. Of course, this is just what they think, in fact, as soon as Mrs. Feng left the gate of the palace, she was targeted, and this person hurriedly wrote a few words and passed them back with carrier pigeons.
The two people on the emperor's side continued, "I heard that there is news from the southern suburbs, what is going on?" ”
Zhao Yuansu, who was talking about the Tao just now, immediately wilted.
"Over there in the southern suburbs, over there in the southern suburbs......"
"What do you say, what do you say?"
"The southern suburbs have been hit hard." Zhao Yuansu finally spoke, "Weichen is guilty."
”
"What the hell is going on? There are multiple wounds. ”
"Weichen deserves to die, and the deaths and injuries have not been counted, but when they were discovered, more than 100 people were gone."
"More than 100 people?"
"Yes......"
"According to reports, after the first echelon went out, one person came back, and those who went out later have not been counted."
"If only one person comes back, how can the others be sure that they are dead? And not to go somewhere else? For example, to chase people or something. ”
"The person who came back to report said that the person who came to the crime did not know what it was used for, and as soon as he touched it, he immediately turned into a puddle of water."
The emperor did not turn into a puddle of water, but sat directly on the bed.
Something so powerful? Is this a manifestation of the gods? Is God punishing me?
The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, didn't Feng Chufei be able to invite the Bodhisattva last time? Could it be that someone has invited the gods this time? The emperor was thinking, if Feng Chufei hadn't come here to heal him, he really thought that this kind of thing that killed the Bodhisattva she asked the Bodhisattva to do turned people into water, and he had never heard of it before.
"What do you think?"
"This Weichen really doesn't know, I've only heard that someone in Yunqi has used this thing before. said that it can turn people into water, but Wechen has never seen the real thing, it's all hearsay, and now he is looking for someone to verify it.
"Yunqi?"
"Yes."
"Aren't the people of Nanlu good at using drugs? How can the people of Yunqi do this? ”
"This subordinate is not very clear, but the subordinate knows that the princess of Yunqi has been staying in the capital. I haven't been back since the last time I entered the palace. ”
"You mean that Yunqi's people will help Feng Zhanchen?"
"It's possible to say it's helping, and it's possible to sow discord."
"How?"
"If you help Feng Zhanchen, you can make a little benefit in the frontier. It is even easier to sow discord, and every time there is a change in border guards, it is naturally the enemy country that benefits the most. The current situation is not clear, and these can only be speculations, and the specific needs to be investigated. ”
Prime Minister Zhao Cheng is actually quite smart, some of his words are false, and some of his words are true, because of this, the emperor is not very suspicious of him. Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, he naturally understands the essence of disguise.
"This matter must be investigated as soon as possible, not to mention anything else, the Praetorian Guard has suffered heavy losses recently, and if there is really any abnormal movement, I am afraid it will be too late to respond. There is also the matter of selecting the Praetorian Guards from among the guards, and it must be done as soon as possible. The number of Janissaries must be sufficient. ”
Wechen got it. And what about the Janissaries in the southern suburbs? ”
"After we find out, what else can I do if the situation is unclear now?"
The two discussed secretly for a long time before Prime Minister Zhao left. Old Madam Feng has been released, and the emperor's heart has finally settled down.
As soon as Feng Zhanchen received the news from the carrier pigeon, he immediately made preparations. It's just that there are so many eyesores outside, and I don't know whose inside line it is, so I didn't go out to greet it.
Old Madam Feng should have taken the antidote, but now she is still in a comatose state, she doesn't know anything about the situation around her, how she got into the palace, how she got out, she doesn't know the situation at all.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you know or don't know, the main thing is that it's a blessing to be able to come back well.
The sedan chair was carried all the way to Feng Zhanchen's courtyard, and as soon as the courtyard door was closed, Feng Zhanchen knelt on the ground, and Feng Chufei naturally knelt with him. Helplessly, the old lady didn't wake up, and Feng Chufei ordered someone to quickly carry her into the house for treatment.
