Chapter 222: A Fork in the Road
Walking outside the palace gate, Huang Taishi got down from the sedan chair.
Many courtiers arrived, and they saluted him.
Taishi Huang returned the salute, stood aside with his hands behind his back, with a wooden face, and did not speak.
Fan Taibao was a step late, and when he saw his expression, he couldn't help frowning.
The old lady's situation doesn't look right compared to yesterday.
Yesterday it seemed like I didn't get a good night's rest, but now I obviously haven't slept all night.
The palace door was opened, and it was not suitable to say these things when he went to court, Fan Taibao could only press it in his heart.
In the next court, Fan Taibao beckoned Huang Taishi back to the Thousand Steps Corridor, and there was silence along the way.
After entering the yamen and sitting down, Fan Taibao said: "I see you like this, it is better to go back and rest and take your time." For people of this age, you have to take care of your own body, in case you fall ill, you can shed your skin. Yongning Hou is such a strong person, he can't recover from his illness......"
When Huang Taishi heard this, he couldn't wait to stomp his feet twice.
Of course, Yongning Hou can't slow down!
Old man Qin's illness was faked!
I don't know how to make trouble, but several adults in the hospital before and after him saw him, and they were all in him.
Thinking about it in his heart, he couldn't say it, so Huang Taishi could only shake his head.
Then, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Speaking of which, Mrs. Hou is in good health, right?" ”
"Among the old ladies of the same age, she is considered healthy," Fan Taibao said, "Two days ago, I was with my wife and son, as well as a few of their old sisters, enjoying spring flowers and tasting new tea." They are now living happier than we are. ”
"It's hard when you're young, and when you're old, can't you make them miserable?" Huang Taishi said.
Fan Taibao agreed: "That's right. ”
They all came from troubled times, and when the men struggled for their future and ideals, the women were not idle.
Not only to manage the family, but also to share the supply, no one can be easy.
At that time, there were many women who did not survive, and there were also those who survived by themselves, but their husbands died early, and those who could really live as old ladies and enjoy happiness in their later years were lucky.
Taking advantage of the topic, Taishi Huang deliberately said: "Lin Xuan's widow is a junior, just because she is widowed, and she is not as good as the old ladies. ”
"Yes," Fan Taibao sighed, "I heard that apart from going out of the city to worship and ask for a signature, it seems that he doesn't go out much."
Fortunately, the son has grown up and is out of breath, and when Lin Xiaozi comes back from the border pass, he will talk about family affairs, and there is always hope for being a mother.
It's not like ......."
Halfway through the words, Fan Taibao took it and smiled.
What he was going to say was that unlike the two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in Anguo Mansion, the children have not grown up yet, and the two girls who got married, the older one is not very worrying, and the younger one looks like a princess, in fact, I don't know how many headaches there are in the back.
But these words can never be said.
Fan Taibao is very clear about the importance of it, and he is also in a hurry today, the two old men talk about homely things, and they talk about this.
But he was astute, and as soon as he noticed that something was wrong, he immediately shut up.
Moreover, it was Mrs. Huang who was chattering, and Mrs. Fan was not worried that Mrs. Huang would betray him in a daze.
Huang Taishi really didn't pay much attention to Fan Taibao's desires, what he cared about was that the old wife of Yongning Hou and the adoptive mother of Dingguo Gong lived as usual in Beijing.
Qin Yin and Lin Fan will inevitably rebel, but what about their families?
With Huang Taishi's understanding of the two, if there is a slightest possibility, the two will not sit idly by and wait for their relatives to die.
At least, the old lady of the Qin family and Lin Xuan's widow knew what Qin Yin and Lin Fan were going to do, and in order to achieve their goals, they were even making various preparations.
On the one hand, he stabilized the situation, and when he was not prepared, he would not be seen by anyone, and on the other hand, he was on guard at all times and at all times, so as not to put his family and his family in danger.
Once the wind and rain rise, get out quickly, and never let these blood relatives drag down the battle.
Thinking of this, Huang Taishi's heart was pounding.
Unfortunately.
It's just that he Huang Ye has become an outlier among anyone.
That's how he guessed it!
Huang Taishi raised his hand and held his forehead, for a while, he couldn't tell whether it was better to know nothing, or better to master everything.
But no matter whether it is clear or not, what he sees in front of him is a fork in the road.
One, support the emperor, to remind the emperor that those two will be opposed, and the military power will not be recovered for a while, but Jingzhong can control the Qin family, the Lin family, and the eldest princess of Pingyang. The eldest princess must also be aware of it.
The other one, choose Lin Fan, his old lady pretended to be confused, did nothing, and when Lin Fan returned to the capital, he would be the one who should be the one who should be together.
Just these two are the main road, which is not stable, but it can be walked.
As for other small ways, what pretends to be stupid to the end, and whoever wins will stand on whom; Nothing is pulled on both sides, left and right......
It's stupid.
Bring about one's own destruction.
If he dies, he will die, but the real scourge is Da Zhou.
Stalemate, see-sawing, messing up is the foundation of the Great Zhou, and it is Xiliang and Nanshu who are laughing!
When he kicks his feet, what face does he have to see the first emperor?
The foundation of the Great Zhou is put in front, and Huang Taishi doesn't think about himself, and of course he doesn't care about Huang Yi.
With the temperament of Lin Fan and Qin Yin, they will ask Huang Yi to write a letter back like yesterday's and urge him to support the attack on Xiliang, but they will definitely not take Huang Yi's life and force him, the old grandfather, to rebel.
They're not that kind of people.
Moreover, when the fish dies and the net is broken, Huang Taishi can give up his grandson's life.
He is not afraid of others scolding him and cursing him, as long as he thinks that he is on the right path, he chooses the righteousness in his heart, and what he insists on is the great Zhou in his heart.
However, where should Da Zhou go?
A sense of exhaustion rose from the bottom of his heart, and Huang Taishi closed his eyes to recuperate.
He remembered that before the first emperor died, he summoned him and asked him many ideas.
Because it was the last foreseeable conversation between the monarch and the minister, the first emperor asked him to speak freely, and Huang Taishi did not go around in any circles and express his opinions directly.
What he said was that he was more optimistic about His Royal Highness Zhao Li than the first crown prince Zhao Lin.
If the Great Zhou Dynasty had not been established, the world would still be in chaos, and Zhao Lin would undoubtedly be the most suitable person.
Dare to fight, dare to fight, can inspire, can call the world.
But the Great Zhou was built, and all kinds of waste were waiting to be rebuilt, blindly conquering, and the people could not recuperate and settle down.
Internal affairs are not like killing.
Killing can see results in the short term, and the internal affairs of agriculture and industry need to be raised year after year, Zhao Lin is too anxious, let him stabilize him, he needs them to say it over and over again, whether they can listen to it, not necessarily.
Zhao Li is different, he has ideas in internal affairs, and he is suitable for steady construction.
Of course, these are also afterthoughts.
That is already the first prince, and only Zhao Li can succeed to the throne.
And he, Huang Ye, doesn't have to waver back and forth between the justifiable prince and the more suitable highness.
He had no choice, he only needed to be loyal to the only heir, Zhao Li, guide him, assist him, and let Da Zhou continue to move forward.
The first emperor praised his outspokenness and put the responsibility of auxiliary government in his hands.
He assisted the emperor and supported the Great Zhou for more than 20 years.
Now, the choice was back in front of him.
