Chapter 6, Xindi's Thoughtfulness
"Doctor Liu, why did Your Majesty already know that these people were going to rebel and not take measures in advance? If the army had been dispatched to defend the imperial city in advance, wouldn't such a thing have been avoided? Moreover, even if you can't prevent the mutiny from happening, you can leave early if you want to! Why wait until this moment?" The little eunuch asked the old doctor very puzzled, although the old man was only a doctor, but he was old enough to have a lot of knowledge, and he might be able to solve his doubts.
The old doctor twisted his gray beard, nodded slightly, and said after a moment of silence: "Although the new emperor knows that the rebellion is about to happen, he is unable to stop it. Moreover, the new emperor could not be sure who was good and who was bad, and if the rebels were made aware of the new emperor's actions, then the rebellion could have occurred earlier. Moreover, everything could not be arranged while the first emperor was still alive, and the new emperor had no right to mobilize troops. Although he knew that the rebellion was inevitable, there was no evidence, and besides, the first emperor was not dead, and the rebellion would never have happened.
"As for leaving early? How is this possible? When the crown prince of a country leaves the imperial city when the first emperor is about to die, not to mention arousing speculation and discussion among the people, it is very likely that he will be assassinated! At the same time, it is only after the rebellion that we can distinguish between friend and foe. This is also the reason why the new emperor must wait until the rebellion happens! It is extremely difficult for the new emperor to arrange all this at this critical moment, and it must be concealed from the eyes and ears of the people, as long as the slightest rumor leaks and sees the wrong one of you and me, the whole plan will be destroyed! The new emperor's meticulous thinking is really astonishing!
"I see!" The little eunuch nodded slightly, and an indescribable reverence for Guan Sheng rose in his heart, and he asked again, "Then why did these rebels wait until the new emperor ascended the throne to rebel?
Only after the new emperor ascended the throne could he justifiably cede the throne to others. will be able to talk about the rebellion and usurpation of the throne in a grand manner, and even if the other princes want to raise an army to fight, they will be nameless!!"
"It turns out that Prince Mu is so insidious and cunning! It's really hateful! Fortunately, he has already died in the war!" the little eunuch clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely.
"Has Prince Mu been killed!?" the old doctor looked a little shocked.
"Yes! At that time, when the guards were escorting His Majesty to the Imperial Garden, they met Ma Kuang, the general of Zuo Qianniuwei, in Wanhua Palace, and his guards came to report at that time!" The little eunuch nodded, looking at the old doctor's face strangely, shouldn't this be a happy thing, why is the old doctor's face so ugly?
"Hey...... The world is in chaos!!" The old doctor couldn't help but sigh and shook his head heavily.
"What's the matter!?" the little eunuch asked, puzzled.
"You must know that the mastermind of this rebellion is Prince Mu! Now that Prince Mu is dead, the dragons will be leaderless! Your Majesty will never be able to return to the palace now, the rebellion has already occurred, and those rebels will certainly not do anything about it! Then who will sit on this throne? There is really no such figure to be found among the other princes, and at the same time, the assistants of the various princes will certainly encourage them to establish themselves as emperors! If this is the case, the situation of separating and conquering various places will come! The old doctor said with some sadness that although he was only a doctor, he deeply understood what kind of great disaster the war would bring to the whole country, and the scene of the separation of his wife and the destruction of his family was unimaginable.
"This ...... What can I do about this?" The little eunuch also felt anxious when he heard this, worried about the people of the world.
"Now there is only one way! and that is to keep the new emperor safe! I think this trip is headed in the south of the empire. It seems that His Majesty wants to go to the sphere of influence of Generalissimo Xiao Yan of Weinan, and then use the power of Generalissimo Weinan to regain the power of the country! At that time, all other princes who have established themselves as emperors will be attached because of their unjustified names! Only then can the country survive this disaster! Therefore, the safety of the new emperor is the key to the fate of the country this time!" The old doctor analyzed, looking at the rolling mountains below, the direction of the carriage flight was indeed the south of the Xiche Empire.
"Well!!!Your Majesty will be fine!!And the new emperor is merciful, and he will definitely be able to win the love of the people when he regains power in the future!" said the little eunuch.
"Is the new emperor really merciful?" the old doctor asked softly as he frowned tightly and leaned close to the little eunuch's ear.
"Of course!!" the little eunuch said with some pride, he had followed the new emperor for so many years, and naturally knew that the new emperor was a person, although he was indifferent on the surface, but he was not cruel in his heart. The maids and eunuchs who were killed and beheaded were all orders from the first emperor, which had nothing to do with the new emperor.
"Is that so...... That's going to be difficult!!" The old doctor patted his head, and seemed to be very entangled.
"Why, isn't it good to be merciful?" asked the little eunuch, puzzled.
"A man who is too merciful cannot survive in the treacherous political power of the human heart!" sighed the old doctor.
"No!!The new emperor understands everything! He will definitely be able to take charge of the country again and govern the country well!" said the little eunuch with some indignation.
"Hey, you're too young, you don't understand!!" The old doctor shook his head again, and there were muddy tears flowing out of his old eyes, looking at the ten flying horses in front of him who were constantly flapping their wings, and there was indescribable sadness in his heart.
"Huhu!!Huhu!! How could there be an echo in this vast blue sky?
The little eunuch thought for a while, suddenly turned around and walked to the edge of the carriage platform, and looked behind him with his carriage, and suddenly he was so frightened that his whole body began to tremble, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said loudly and panickedly: "Ah!! Behind !!, thousands of Pegasus cavalry are chasing after him!
"Hurry up and go in and tell Your Majesty! These ten horses are pulling such a huge carriage, they must not be able to outrun the cavalry behind!" The old doctor was also surprised, and hurriedly pulled the little eunuch into the carriage.
After entering the carriage, the two of them were stunned, as if because of the existence of Guan Sheng, there was a chill inside the entire carriage.
The little eunuch shuddered, and found that Guan Sheng was already sitting on the edge of the bed, and the two maids were serving Guan Sheng, putting on a white robe for Guan Sheng.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty! Oh no! The Heavenly Horse cavalry is coming after you!!" The little eunuch knelt down in front of Guan Sheng and said nervously.
Guan Sheng gently pushed away the maid who was combing his hair, stood up a little shaky, took the two beads in his hand and looked at them carefully, and after a while, he handed the fiery red beads to the little eunuch and said, "Little Lizi...... Take this bead and throw it at the cavalry behind you!
