Chapter Forty-Six: Something Against the Heavens
Putian Palace, in the Weiyang Palace.
Yu Wenluo was dressed in a red robe, embroidered with a golden dragon on his back, to show his heavenly might, and a jade rabbit on his shoulders to show his blessings.
Wearing a crown on his head, hanging five strings of nine beads of gold, the number of nine or five.
He propped his head in his hands and watched the folds.
Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man standing with his head bowed in the audience.
"In two days, there were 37 murders in Kyoto. The dead are all the descendants of the Gu Zhao family, who do you think did it?"
His deep voice resounded back and forth in the Weiyang Palace, endlessly.
The old man in the audience still lowered his head and responded respectfully: "I don't know. ”
"I don't know?" Yu Wenluo's eyes lit up. At that time, the voice was a little lower again: "Is it true that I don't know, or is it false?"
"I don't know. The old man responded.
"Zhang Xiang!" But at that time, Yu Wenluo, who heard this, stood up abruptly and threw the fold in his hand in front of the old man. "Two days ago, Lin Kai took a group of people from the rivers and lakes to Tiance Mansion to make trouble and killed thirty-seven government soldiers of Tiance Mansion, and two days later, thirty-seven descendants of Gu Zhao's family died one after another, you say you don't know who did it?"
Facing the furious Yu Wenluo, the old man in the audience still looked indifferent.
"Then Your Majesty has found the culprit, then please ask Your Majesty to give an order, and the old minister will take people to arrest the culprit. The old prime minister bowed his hand, a faction of loyalty, bowing his head and obedient.
When Yu Wenluo heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on his face.
He smiled genuinely, as if from the bottom of his heart.
"Arrest the criminal? He Xu Han holds Jizhou in his hand, there are two important towns of Jianlong Pass and Dahuangcheng, and he strangled my Da Zhou's throat, Zhu Xian didn't dare to touch him, how dare I?"
"At the beginning, Mu Ji led troops into the customs, if Your Majesty was willing to issue a secret edict to ask King Zhao of Youzhou to send troops to rescue, General Lin would not die in battle, and Dahuangcheng would definitely be grateful to Your Majesty, why is it such a field now?" the old man asked rhetorically at that time.
"Are you weird?" Yu Wenluo said in a deep voice, his eyes slowly narrowing at that time.
"Your Majesty has his own holy judgment, and the ministers don't dare. The old man hurriedly spoke, his attitude still respectful.
Perhaps it was the old man's soft and hard attitude that made Yu Wenluo a little unsure of how to continue to speak, he sat back on the dragon chair behind him at that time, and was silent for a long time before he said again: "Zong Zheng Yu Wencheng's prime minister won't know, what is Xu Han's identity, you and I know it, you help him deal with the Yin family, deal with the Gu Zhao family, where do you want to put me?"
"You, Hebei, Qing, and Chong prefectures suffered a snow disaster, and most of the treasury allocated by Zhu Xian was used to rebuild the Canglong Army, and the remaining little was difficult to solve the difficulties of the people in the four states..."
"That's your reason?" When Yu Wenluo heard this, he slapped the desk on the table and said angrily: "Then Xu Han got money and food, didn't he fill his own pocket, and all of them were sent to Jizhou, and the people of the other three states didn't suffer from hunger and cold?"
"The world is turbulent, and if you can save a state, it is a state. The old prime minister responded.
"A good one that can save a state is a state, so where are you going to put me? Do you want to let that Xu Han become a dragon and replace him as the emperor of this Great Zhou?" Yu Wenluo's face was cold, and the candle flame in the Weiyang Hall seemed to feel the surging in the emperor's heart at that time, and it flickered and dimmed at that time.
"Your Majesty Mingjian, the old minister only knows the Great Zhou Sheji, and there is nothing else to think about. ”
As if shocked by this celestial might, the old man's body knelt down sharply and shouted loudly.
Faced with the old man's posture that the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, Yu Wenluo finally put away the idea of fighting with him on this matter.
The anger on his face suddenly dissipated at this moment, and he said with some dejection: "My dragon qi... It's dispersing. ”
With that, Yu Wenluo set his eyes on the old man in the audience.
But the old man still knelt on the ground as if he had never heard of it.
"Since Xu Han returned to Chang'an, my dragon qi has been dissipating, and now it is only pale cyan, and in less than half a year, I am afraid that I can only be like a king like King Yu..."
The expression on Yu Wenluo's face became trance-like at that time, and the gaze in his eyes was deep, as if he had returned to a long time ago.
"Back then, my father committed a great rebellion, and the mausoleum keeper Canghailiu joined forces with his master and son to kill him. ”
"I am not a child of destiny, and I am forced to ascend to this position. ”
"I thought that killing those young sons would ensure that my throne was foolproof, but I thought that there would be fish that slipped through the net, and now that I have returned, all the dragon qi I have hoarded with secret methods for many years has been made into a wedding dress..."
Speaking of this, Yuwen Luo suddenly looked at the old man again, and said sadly: "Over the years, I have been scheming, destroying the Muwang Mansion, supporting the Long Night Division, and dragging down the Tiance Mansion, but I don't want to fall into such a predicament, you say, what is wrong with me?"
Hearing this, the old man who had been lying on his head for a long time finally spoke up again.
"Your Majesty, do you know what happened in Tiance Mansion two days ago?"
Yu Wenluo was stunned when he heard this, although the old man's question didn't seem to have anything to do with their previous conversation, he still responded at that time: "You mean the dead Tiance Mansion Army?"
"In the battle of Tiance Mansion two days ago, some people once felt that there was a demonic aura in Tiance Mansion. The old man ignored Yu Wenluo's words and said to himself.
"What?" As these words came out, His Majesty the Emperor's face finally changed suddenly. He said to himself with a look of incredulity: "Are you saying that what my father did back then was successful?
"Whether it's Da Chu or the first emperor, Wei Chen doesn't know why so many people in the world are addicted to this half-demon method, and the minister just wants to tell His Majesty what His Majesty has done wrong. ”
"What?" Yu Wenluo was stunned again, "Are you saying that I shouldn't have let go of that baby back then?"
"Definitely..."
"The first emperor created a half-demon, which was indeed a move against the sky, but now it seems that he has succeeded. ”
The old man who had been keeping his head down finally raised his head for the first time at that time, and he looked at Yu Wenluo, whose expression was unpredictable on the high platform, and his eyes instantly became deeper.
"Your Majesty is not a child of destiny, since you want to sit on this throne, you must have the determination to go against the sky. ”
"But what about Your Majesty?"
But he was superstitious about the so-called dragon qi method, thinking that if he trapped the dragon qi, he could sit on the throne. ”
"But I never thought that it was a rule of heaven to prove the emperor's throne with dragon qi. ”
"Do things against the heavens with the law of the heavens..."
"I thought it was a fool's dream, but I thought it was just like that. ”
With that, the deep gaze in the old man's eyes disappeared again, and he was back to the old man who was about to die.
And Yu Wenluo on the high platform looked depressed, and the words in his ears were endless, echoing back and forth.
