Chapter 1 This heart is like a great heart
"Get out, get me all out." There was incomparable anger in the boy's immature voice.
"The ministers are loyal, please think twice about the emperor." The gray-haired old ministers kowtowed in front of the steps, knocking until their foreheads were bleeding, and they did not stop.
The young man was so angry that he grabbed the gold seal on the case, and raised his hand to throw it. When he raised his eyes, he saw that the blood in front of the steps was extremely shocking, and the young man gritted his teeth and put down the golden seal again angrily. He has been working hard, he wants to be a good emperor, he wants to be famous for future generations, he wants to govern the country and the country, in the face of the bitter advice of so many courtiers, in the face of the blood and tears of the old ministers of the three dynasties, if he rises up angrily, it will be a stain that can never be erased in the history books.
Therefore, he could only grit his teeth, calm down, and swallow all the anger and hatred in his heart: "Why do you all have to force me, Qingchen is my hero, I am the most trusted person, he will not betray me, he will not betray me, never!" ”
"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't distrust Fang Hou, but there is always a reason for everything, since our army's spies have found evidence of his communication with the enemy country, we must at least transfer Hou Ye back to Beijing to ask, and ask him to temporarily hand over the military power for a while, which is also for the good of Fang Hou." Your Majesty, national affairs, the safety of the world, must not be a child's play. ”
"I can't do that to him." The young emperor's eyes were red. "He fought hard against the enemy soldiers on the border, and repeatedly said in this chapter that the military situation was urgent, and he couldn't leave the army one step.
The old minister was in tears: "Your Majesty, the world is the most important." ”
The young upstart said angrily: "The world is the world of the Son of Heaven, not the world of light dust of others, how the people of the world think, how the officials of the court think, how the society is stable, which of these is not more important than the thoughts of other marquis." As for the army, is it the emperor or the marquis who obeys the army? ”
Such cold words were too sharp, so sharp that the young Emperor of Chu State trembled all over, and glared at the speaker viciously, but he couldn't say anything to refute it, just walked down from the throne in a hurry, turned around and went outside the imperial study.
Several courtiers knelt down and stopped in front of them. The young emperor Chu Ruohong couldn't care about the emperor's demeanor anymore, stretched out his foot and kicked several ministers to the ground, and ran out quickly.
He galloped on the royal road, shouting loudly for everyone to stay away, raised his head without hesitation, and shouted: "Light dust, light dust, light dust...... "Lowered his head, there were a few points of crystal, falling silently in the wind.
Qingchen, come back quickly, tell these old foolish little bastards, you are not treasonous, come back quickly, don't leave me alone, facing so many wolf-like guys.
Skirting the cloister and turning the pavilion, he sat down by a large willow tree. The willows by the pool are clinging, and the water in the pool is full. He stared at his aching face in the clear pool water.
The people in the pool were as helpless and grieving as the weak child many years ago. When he is sad and helpless, he will only hide in a corner of the palace and cry alone.
Until that sunny day, someone behind him asked, "Your Highness, why are you so sad?" ”
He looked back and saw a smile he would never forget.
Now, someone said: "Your Majesty, Fang Qingchen relies on the emperor's favor, monopolizes power, oppresses hundreds of officials, and hopes that the emperor will investigate?" ”
A long, long time ago, when that person first met him, he was just a prince born to a fortunate palace maid, no one ever paid attention to him, no one ever cared for him, his brothers were all able to write and martial arts, and there were many henchmen, and he didn't even have the right to go to the Taiyi Pavilion to summon a medical officer to Zhao Gonggong, who had taken care of him since he was a child.
The young general came to him in this way, and when he had no power to fight, he risked his great involvement, protected him, took care of him, taught him how to be a man, how to be strong in the face of setbacks, taught him to practice martial arts and strengthen his body, and looked for a great Confucian teacher for him everywhere.
At that time, where were these courtiers who were loyal to the monarch and patriotic, righteous and strict?
When everyone forgot about him and left him out in the cold, Fang Qingchen smiled and gave him warmth. He was so simply attached to Fang Qingchen, and asked him again and again: "Will you always be by my side?" ”
And he replied with a smile forever: "If Your Highness needs it." ”
"Fang Qingchen's military generals interfere in politics, there is no saint in his eyes, he does not kneel when he sees the king, and he has no courtesy from his subordinates, so he should be severely punished."
He gave him the right not to kneel when he saw the king, he let him not have to untie the sword, in the face of so many political affairs, so many rights and wrongs, when he was at a loss, he always trusted him and expected him to come up with ideas for himself.
As a result, this became the evidence of his guilt by the Manchu civil and military forces.
"Fang Qingchen embraces the army and respects himself."
"Fang Qingchen intends to rebel."
"Fang Qingchen has the heart to seize power."
Such rumors never stopped, but he only remembered that when the royal brothers fought to the death, and the murder in the harem was silent, that person spent countless efforts to withstand endless pressure to protect him. That palace mutiny, bloody rain, the army has rushed into the palace, the women of the harem have committed suicide, the princes of the royal family are wailing and begging, there are swords and swords everywhere, there are shouts and killings everywhere, only Fang Qingchen guards him without retreating.
Fang Qingchen's martial arts can be in the army of ten thousand horses, but he is firmly trapped for him, Fang Qingchen's skills can come and go freely in the siege of countless strong enemies, but he was injured again and again in order to save him.
He still remembered that Fang Qingchen used his chest to block the knife for him, and he still remembered that Fang Qingchen used his powerful arms to hold him who didn't even have the strength to stand.
He still remembered that in the midst of countless whistling and shouting and killing, Fang Qingchen's smile was still as warm as the sun: "Don't be afraid, as long as I am alive, no one will be able to touch a finger of you." ”
Fang Qingchen protected him, and he worked hard in the palace for a day and a night, until the reinforcements entered the palace and the rebels were defeated, he fainted, and at the last moment, he raised his head and smiled at him: "Don't worry, I just slept for a while, and I will wake up soon." ”
He remembered that he cried loudly beside Fang Qingchen, he remembered that he grabbed Fang Qingchen's blood-stained clothes, and more than a dozen palace people tried their best, but they couldn't pull him away.
He remembered that the elder royal brothers were killed by the rebellious three emperor brothers, and after the three emperor brothers were punished, his father also died of terror because of this scene, and only the young man became the monarch of the country inexplicably.
When he ascended the throne, he looked at countless Confucian ministers and felt the indifference and contempt in their eyes, and at this time, Fang Qingchen, who was injured, came to his side, smiled slightly, and made him straighten his waist, steadily ascend the high imperial steps, and turned his head to face the countless courtiers who bowed to him.
His first will was to reward the other party's light dust.
The general who protects the country, the marquis of the town, is in charge of the three armies, participates in political affairs, goes to the palace with a sword, and does not kneel in front of the king. All kinds of grace and special circumstances made almost all the courtiers kneel down and admonish.
And he only asked coldly, where did you go on the day of the mutiny?
Under the imperial stairs, Fang Qingchen stared at him, with a little disapproval in his eyes, but in the end, he did not refuse his reward. State affairs are complicated, and when he is young, he is at a loss and can't deal with it, so he can only turn to Fang Qingchen for help. He completely trusts Fang Qingchen, all state affairs, as long as Fang Qingchen says it's okay, he can not even look at it, and use the seal with a smile.
At that time, who dared to say that Fang Qingchen didn't say a word? Where were those famous Confucian ministers, those who are now iron-clad, who are about to hit the wall at every turn, and who are about to die?
Until the strong enemy invaded the territory, Fang Qingchen led troops to resist the enemy, guarded the border for a long time, and stayed away from the court, all the accusations, all the charges, all the not, all came out like raindrops.
Rebellion, disrespect, abuse of power, *** women, murder and seizure of money, all kinds of unbelievable crimes are listed one by one. When everyone criticized him, they did so with righteousness, as if the truth was in their hands.
Chu Ruohong was angry, he scolded, punished, court, demoted, demoted, he did everything he could. However, there are still more and more excerpts from participating in Fang Qingchen, and there are still more and more suggestions to persuade him to transfer Fang Qingchen back.
What could he do?
Killing?
No, if the king picks up the butcher's knife against his courtiers, the kingdom is not far from decay.
Even if he was forced to the extreme, Chu Ruohong still remembered Fang Qingchen's teachings to him a long time ago.
He struggled to support it, even if it was criticized by the whole dynasty.
The courtiers said that Fang Qingchen had too much power, and the royal family said that the army only listened to Fang Qingchen's orders and ignored the emperor's orders. Even the queen mother and concubine in the palace, and her mother's uncles and cousins, began to talk again and again, how Fang Qingchen relied on the emperor's power and acted mischiefly.
He gritted his teeth and listened, holding back his anger and looking at the twists and turns, no matter how many people criticized, he didn't care, he didn't believe it.
Light dust, light dust, in fact, I want to call you back more than anyone else. How I long for you to be by my side at this time. As an emperor, why do I still feel as helpless as I did when I was a child, and how good it would be if you could give me strength by my side. I'm hugging me now, but without you, I'm even more lonely than when I was a child.
Qingchen, I miss you back, not because the three of them became tigers, not because I listened to rumors, just because, I miss you.
But I will always remember that you once said that national affairs are the most important, and I will always remember that I personally promised you that I would not let you have any worries, fully support you in the front, and defend the country and the people wholeheartedly.
Light dust, I miss you.
You know, I'm too tired and tired to resist alone. Many times, I also want to be like a tyrant, kill all those who don't like it, and ignore any country, people, and future. I just want to protect you as you once protected me.
However, I am the emperor, you have taught me countless times, put the country first, and I have promised you countless times to be a good emperor.
Light dust, what should I do?
Qingchen, do you know that someone has found evidence of your correspondence with the enemy, and all the courtiers have jointly asked me to summon you back and relieve you of your military power. Those gray-haired old men, kneeling on the stone steps, under the sun, refused to get up all day, and the imperial history, which was famous for its uprightness, directly hit the wall of the golden steps, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Although the Queen Mother is not my biological mother, after all, she is my elder, and she also forced me to summon you back for interrogation, otherwise you will not eat a grain of rice.
Qingchen, I can't hold it anymore, Qingchen, why aren't you by my side.
The sixteen-year-old Emperor of Chu let out a silent cry beside the willow tree where he first met Fang Qingchen.
Then he slowly clenched his boy's fists, and his face gradually showed a look of determination.
"Qingchen, no matter what, I will always protect you, just as you protect me, I will never abandon you."
The young king silently swore in his heart that at this time, he really believed that he could fulfill this promise, and at this time, he was sure that the sky could collapse and the earth could be torn apart, and his light dust would not betray him. The sea can be dry and rotten, even if the world is wrong, even if the evidence is ironclad, he will never shake the confidence of the other party.
At this time, he was really, so he thought.
At this time, he was really, so convinced.
