Chapter 41: Scheming

Who is the biggest in a country? The general answer is the emperor, but it was different in the Great Han Dynasty.

Although the current emperor, Huangfu Guangming, could decide anything in the Great Han Dynasty, in the eyes of most people, he was just a puppet sitting on the throne. The real power of the Great Han Dynasty is not Huangfu Guangming, but Huangfu Xuanming, the true dragon king of the Huangfu family.

Eighty years ago, there was a power struggle within the Tiger God General's family. Twenty years later, there was also a power struggle within the royal family, and the winner was Huangfu Xuanming.

According to the general law, Huangfu Xuanming should have been crowned emperor. But after defeating the opponent, he was the only one left in the royal family of his generation, and because of his personality, he finally chose to become the true dragon king, and at the same time supported the then twenty-year-old Huangfu Haiyuan as the emperor...... Huangfu Haiyuan is also the current emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, Huangfu Guangming.

Huangfu Xuanming had two sons, but instead of appointing his own son, he made his brother's son emperor. What is the reason behind it, no one knows except himself, and it has become one of the biggest unsolved cases in today's Great Han Dynasty.

Some people say that it is to repay Huangfu Haiyuan's father for everything he has done for him, after all, his father died in that power struggle in order to help him...... However, this statement is difficult to accept, because it is the throne, and the family affection and the like are really pale.

But no matter what, Huangfu Haiyuan became the emperor, and he became a very ambitious emperor. The person he worshipped was not Huangfu Xuanming, but the founding emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, the True Dragon Emperor Fuming.

dreamed of becoming a figure who caught up with and surpassed his ancestors, and even changed his name to Huangfu Guangming...... Restore the grand occasion of the true dragon.

However, this is not an era where ambitions can be realized by dreams, without strength, everything is empty talk, and the children of the Shenjiang family without the divine martial soul are destined to not have much brilliance.

When the gap between ability and dream is too big, you will either give up and don't care, or your heart will become distorted, and Huangfu Guangming is the latter.

In the early years, he could be said to be young and promising, a corporal with good manners, and approachable...... But as I got older and found that I had difficulty doing many things, I began to change.

For example, the Divine General family does not particularly respect him, if it is a trivial matter, it will be perfunctory, if it is a major matter, unless Huangfu Xuanming speaks, otherwise the patriarchs of the various families and the Divine Warriors will not pay much attention to him.

Huangfu Guangming gradually became mediocre and brutal, and in a few years it reached its extreme, and if it was not satisfactory, it could behead all the people. As for the squandering of money, tyranny and taxation are too numerous to do...... It seems to prove to the world in this way that he is still the emperor and has power.

Whenever it is too much, the True Dragon King Huangfu Xuanming will come forward to deal with it, and in the long run, the True Dragon King's prestige will be even more prestigious, and the reputation of Huangfu Guangming will be even more unbearable.

There was once a situation where the people of the world secretly prayed for his early death, after all, a person who has no divine martial soul and whose cultivation is not worth mentioning is not bad if he can live to eighty or ninety.

I don't know if it's because I know that my limit is coming, or because I have been taught a good lesson by Huangfu Xuanming. In the past ten years, Huangfu Guangming suddenly seemed to be a different person, and began to govern the dynasty diligently, changed his violent atmosphere, and even once came out with remarks such as "the king is light, and the people are important".

Although there is a lot of speculation that this is a means for him to get rid of the control of Huangfu Xuanming, it is undeniable that Huangfu Guangming has indeed begun to pay attention to the people's hearts and fame.

"Just like what you did this time. Huangfu Changqing said: "If it is the previous father, the way to deal with it is nothing more than one: because you are a future god general, you will directly arrest all these people who are opposed to you and behead them." Anyway, the reserve officials are blockbuster, and there is no one to worry about. “

Qin Shaofu laughed dryly: "It's really violent!"

Huangfu Changqing didn't make an evaluation, and sighed lightly: "Actually, it is reasonable for my father to belong to my eldest brother, he is just like his father when he was young, virtuous and virtuous, benevolence and righteousness first, and he is a corporal of courtesy, approachable, and capable of a virtuous king." “

"That's good!" Qin Shaofu said: "Since you think it's reasonable, why are you still fighting, just coveting that position?"

"Not really!" Huangfu Changqing shook his head: "I'm just thinking, if my eldest brother encounters these situations with his father in the future, how will he deal with it? Over time, will he become the second father?"

"I am confident that I will defeat my third brother and become the next true dragon king, what should I do at that time? If I come forward, I can't do it better than my grandfather Wang. “

In this way, what is the difference between the situation and today? After a long time, the emperor has become a dispensable position in the Great Han Dynasty, and no one respects him. Recall that the Great Xia Taikang lost the country, how similar it is to this...... The Great Cold Dynasty is in danger!"

When the emperor is not respected, he is like a monkey in the hearts of the world. God will have conflicts within the family, let alone with each other. Once Taikang loses power, it will inevitably break out and the world will be in chaos.

At that time, the civil strife will not stop, and the foreign enemy will look around, and the Great Han Dynasty will have the disaster of destroying the country.

"Only the strong can match that position, this is the era!"

Huangfu Changqing gave Qin Shaofu again: "And even if I don't fight, my third brother will rob it, and I can't let him be the emperor...... There are some things that are difficult to explain, so I won't talk about them today. Today's meal, I still ask you to pick up the wind and wash the dust. “

Qin Shaofu covered the wine glass with one hand, shook his head and said, "Wine, if you don't understand it, I won't drink it." You're too scheming, and I'm afraid this wine isn't that good. I didn't understand it before, but I figured it out. “

"You could have come to the mud for today's events, but then you read the stack of confessions, so you changed your mind. Although many sons and brothers have committed crimes, they are indeed not guilty, so there is nothing wrong with a small punishment. “

"And their backers don't hate you much, after all, compared to Huangfu Chang Li, these punishments are not worth mentioning. And you are coming on behalf of the emperor, if they want to be emotional, they can only blame your father...... If my guess is correct, the line of Huangfu Changli should support Huangfu Changxin. “

Huangfu Changqing smiled and didn't speak, just continued to listen.

Qin Shaofu was also not polite, and continued: "You are very cunning, deliberately trying to be tried outside, attracting the people...... Those people who are not very close to the Department of Public Security on weekdays suddenly appear so much, I am afraid that many of them were arranged by you. ”

"In just such a time, the image of your four princes being fair and just, and dedicated to serving the people should have spread throughout the capital. Even if he loses the hearts of some officials, he has won the hearts of the people and does not suffer losses. ”

"I was born in Tongling Pass, and what I did in Huyang City should have been reported to His Majesty the Emperor in all directions. King Hulie had no way to take me, and Huangfu Changxin was seriously injured by me, and he broke up when he met Qin Tianen...... I'm just a thorn, hob meat, not easy to mess with. ”

"Most of the Divine General's family should hate me, except for His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise he wouldn't have sent you over. If there is a person like me to disturb the situation of the Shenwu General dominating the Great Han Dynasty, this is definitely what he wants to see. ”

"Once you have drunk this wine and eaten today, and then hook up with you, push the cup and change the lamp, you can go back and say that you have made friends with me, the relationship is good, and you have the opportunity to take it for your own use. In this way, even if your previous handling displeased your father, it will become insignificant, and it can even fight for you a little more capital for the throne...... After all, the old Shenwu can't win over your father, so he can only fight us for these little ideas. ”

He couldn't understand why a prince with imperial ambitions would do those things during the day, but now he has sorted them out one by one.

It only took a moment to read the confession, and the original plan was overturned, and then the plan was recalculated. Let's not talk about the strength, if you talk about scheming, the ten emperors will not be the opponents of the emperors in front of them.

After listening, Huangfu Changqing took a sip of wine and smiled slightly: "Since the news of your beating of Tang Changjie spread, many people thought you were a reckless man, but now it seems that everything is wrong." ”

"With martial arts, courage and strategy, the Tiger God General's family is afraid that it will be difficult to have peace in the future. ”

"Haha!"

Qin Shaofu laughed loudly, and then slammed it back, with a serious face: "Perhaps, the entire Great Han Dynasty is not at peace!"

Then he grabbed a wine bottle, turned and left, and shook it with one hand.

"Thank you for the wine, I'm tired today, and I'll drink it another day. ”

Looking at the back downstairs, Huangfu Changqing held the wine glass motionless, and after a while, he smiled slightly and ate and drank by himself.
