Twenty-two, my heart desires (1)
Gui Xiang was silent, just kowtowed, and the Empress Dowager Cixi continued, "I have been since I hung the curtain, not at that time, or even earlier, since I became the empress, I know that you raise your head!" Gui Xiang raised her head, revealing a very haggard and withered face, the Queen Mother stretched out her hand, the gem purple gold armor on her hand shone in the evening sun, she said to Gui Xiang, "I know how great the power in my hands is, how many people can be ruined because of my thoughts, how many people can soar because of one of my wills, how many people sacrifice their lives for the country because of my own likes and dislikes, and how many people may not be able to recover!" So I've always been cautious and cautious, except for the coup d'Γ©tat of the two kings in the past, I have never killed people indiscriminately, even if it is a coup d'Γ©tat of the two kings, I am very few! You know why," the Empress Dowager Cixi said coldly, she was not ready to let Gui Xiang answer, and said on her own, "Because I know that if you govern a big country and cook small dishes, if you abuse your power, I am afraid that it will bring unpredictable risks and disasters to anyone, and after the coup d'Γ©tat, how many families will be implicated?" Do you think this power is being used arbitrarily? Don't I like to be the same as Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, who spends money and enjoys it? Kill if you want to? Do you think I'm an idiot? β
"You see the taste of power, but you don't know how much responsibility and responsibility there is!"
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can be described as a generation of heroes, a century-old hero! Speaking of which, he leveled the Huns, opened the Western Regions, made great martial arts, deposed a hundred schools, respected Confucianism, and was also good at cultural governance, why did the Western Han Dynasty turn from strong to declining from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? Do you know why? That is, the power of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is too great, he himself does not know how to control, he does not know how to restrain himself, so he is in such a situation, even if he repents in his later years, it is too late! The Empress Dowager Cixi reprimanded mercilessly, although she saw Gui Xiang's thin cheeks, she couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart, it was her own brother, "You say, what do you see?" Kindness? Is it my affair with Prince Gong? β
Gui Xiang didn't expect the Empress Dowager Cixi to poke out her privacy so directly and without regard for any decency, and she couldn't help but feel a huge shock, "The slave doesn't dare, but there are indeed clues to this matter." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
"Hehe, that's why I said that you Gui Xiang is still very stupid," Empress Dowager Cixi leaned back and looked at Gui Xiang with disdain, "Can you see that I am very taboo about talking about this?" β
"Queen Mother, the slave doesn't understand," Gui Xiang was very confused, and even a little annoyed that the Empress Dowager Cixi's attitude towards herself, still the same as for many years, she felt that she was a child who didn't understand the world, and he said coldly, "Didn't I follow your wishes?" Even if you want to have a seizure, you will have it, Prince Gong Fujin is the first obstacle, and the second, Prince Gong is also your obstacle. β
"Fujin has never been an obstacle for me," the Empress Dowager Cixi said lightly, and Gui Xiang's words evoked memories of the Guerjia clan, it was a very gentle woman, although the Empress Dowager Cixi did not appreciate such a woman, but I had to admit that it was indeed the demeanor of a housewife, and it was also a good match for Prince Gong, "Do you think that even if there is no Fujin, I can marry the Empress Dowager herself?" β
Gui Xiang shook his head, "You won't get married, you are the phoenix in the sky, what is Prince Gong, how can he dance with you?" β
"So it's actually for me to have the right to do it? Kindness? The Empress Dowager Cixi asked, "For so many years, I haven't asked you anything, if you don't want to come, I won't go to you, now that you are here, I want to ask you, is it for me, this empress dowager, your own sister has the power alone?" β
"Yes," Gui Xiang raised his head and said firmly, the sunlight outside the window began to slowly subside, and the room was a little dim, "There can only be one monarch with a monopoly in this world, of course this person cannot share power with a subordinate, the queen mother hangs the curtain, and the prince is in charge, this is originally an expedient measure, and it is impossible for his subordinates to continue to exercise the power of the monarch, so the slave took care of Prince Gong Fujin for the queen mother!" β
"Is it to make me break with Prince Gong?" Empress Dowager Cixi said faintly.
"Yes, the Queen Mother is the person who attaches the most importance to feelings, the slave has always known this, and he has had a friendship in the past, so he is naturally reluctant to give up, if no one pushes it, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will continue to endure it," Gui Xiang's face showed a perverted smile, "The slave is also to protect Prince Gong, if the dissatisfaction in the Queen Mother's heart has been accumulating, in the future, I am afraid that Prince Gong will die without a place to bury, it is better to puncture this pustule as soon as possible, Queen Mother, don't you often teach us to make decisions immediately, when the judgment continues, but suffer from it." , the Queen Mother is kind, let the minions below do these dirty things, and it is the hands of the minions who are dirty. β
Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Gui Xiang condescendingly and coldly, "This is what you are talking about?" β
Gui Xiang kowtowed, "It's the minion's heart." β
"Lying."
The Empress Dowager Cixi came to a conclusion, "You are lying. β
"The minions don't."
"You're not just for me, are you?" Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly laughed, "Guixiang, you have been like this since you were a child, you will never say that you want what you want, you say that Mei'er wants it, just to give yourself a little room for maneuver if you can't get something, it is still like this when you grow up, the nature of the country is easy to change, you are still like this, you are for me, I don't deny this, but I don't believe you either, it's all for me." β
"The minion's heart is heavenly!" Gui Xiang cursed and swore, "If there are words to deceive the Queen Mother, the slave is willing to be burned to death by the flames!" β
To whom do these words speak? It can't be fulfilled at all," the Empress Dowager Cixi said disdainfully, "You are still for yourself," she leaned down and stared at Gui Xiang, "You know my temper, I like to listen to the truth, although these truths may not be very comfortable, so I ask you again, you have to tell the truth,"
"Do you want to be Wang Mang?"
Gui Xiang's pupils shrank suddenly, and then expanded, he looked at the eyes of the Empress Dowager Cixi, did not make a sound for a long time, and the Empress Dowager did not urge, just stared at Gui Xiang with interrogative eyes, and after a long time, Gui Xiang subconsciously nodded, "The Empress Dowager, you are so unwilling to give up power, and the emperor will continue to train the government after he is in power, naturally he knows that the taste of power is so wonderful, why can't the slave think about it?"
