Chapter 40: Suffering
readx;
Although the great master of Great Liang is really very old, his mind is not very clear, and he doesn't even realize how shocked Emperor Liang was by confusing Chu Yuan and Chu Nan just now, and of course it also made Emperor Liang completely determined. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Emperor Liang forcibly suppressed the shock and uneasiness in his heart about Zhang Hai's aging, and said thoughtfully: "I can provide any convenience to Chu Nan, but if that kind of power cannot be in my hands, I would rather destroy him now, and the province will bring greater trouble and disaster to Daliang in the future." ”
Zhang Hai naturally understood this truth, sighed slightly and said, "Didn't Your Majesty find out, Chu ...... Is that kid from the Chu family really smart? The old slave now feels that I am afraid that he is making such a big fuss today, because he has the heart to lean towards His Majesty. ”
Emperor Liang was a little stunned in his heart after hearing this, thought about it and shook his head and said: "Don't look at Chu Nan so strong today, but he has offended too many people, even if I have the heart to protect him, it is not so easy, at least now I can't stand on the opposite side of the ministers for him." ”
Zhang Hai chuckled and said: "Your Majesty can think about it the other way, the kid of the Chu family has offended so many people, and even forced Chu Yuan to draw a line with him, except to completely fall to Your Majesty, does he have any other way to go?"
Emperor Liang's eyebrows jumped, and his fingers tapped lightly on the bookcase, as if he was considering the benefits and losses.
Zhang Hai saw that Emperor Liang was already a little shaken, and continued: "Actually, at the beginning of today, outside the main hall, that kid from the Chu family probably deliberately suffered a punch from me, and in the end, he was far less seriously injured than everyone saw. At the beginning, being strong was also a last resort, otherwise how could the ministers let go easily. Later, after being hit by the old slave, he pretended to be dying, I am afraid that he was afraid of His Majesty's face............"
Emperor Liang's fingers suddenly stopped tapping on the bookcase, and said lightly: "What I need is an obedient Jiupin who can be your successor, not such a courtier who is too smart and scheming." ”
Zhang Hai knew that in fact, now that Emperor Liang had accepted his ideas, Emperor Liang might not be able to see these subtleties, but after all, he was the first person in Daliang, no matter how Shengming always had to take care of face, and now he was still so tough just to persuade himself through the mouth of outsiders, so he continued to persuade patiently: " Your Majesty knows the cause of today's incident, Chu Nan can make such a big move for a concubine from a Qinglou, it should be a matter of affection and righteousness, which is an advantage for ordinary people, but as long as it is planned properly, this alone is enough to tie him firmly to the royal side............"
Emperor Liang was silent, the emperor's mental skills were extremely terrifying, even the great grandmaster of Yingzhou himself could set countless restrictions for him, so that he could stay on Fusang Mountain honestly and willingly, as long as Chu Nan was not desireless, it was not a difficult thing to hold in his hands, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Hai, and said slowly: "Today, you seem to be acting too deliberately, and you have been saying good things to excuse Chu Nan from beginning to end, is it my delusion?"
Zhang Hai was slightly taken aback, and after a while, he bent down slightly and said softly: "It's the Queen Mother, the old lady of the Chu family has handed over the message to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother ordered the old slave to at least protect Chu Nan's life at the right time." ”
Emperor Liang sneered twice, shook his head and sighed, "What you are doing now is not just to save his life, right?"
Zhang Hai was indifferent, without the slightest panic and embarrassment, and said expressionlessly: "If the Queen Mother orders me to do one point, I will do twelve." ”
Emperor Liang was silent, the first emperor used the queen mother to firmly tie this great master to the palace for decades, which involved the grievances and hatred of the previous generation, knowing that this topic was not good to continue, he waved his hand and ordered: "Since the queen mother wants to protect him, those imperial relatives who were humiliated by Chu Nan let the queen mother appease it, it's okay, you go down first." ”
Zhang Hai bent down slightly, walked out with his body bent, his steps were a little brisk, and he walked towards the queen mother's bedroom with a smile, what she told herself, she could be regarded as doing it very satisfactorily, she must be very happy, she gave up everything, even gave up her dignity as a man, isn't it just to protect her, can I have the opportunity to see her a few times at any time............ Although, it feels really bitter and bitter.............................................................................................................................................................................. Just as Chu Nan's strong outburst was rudely interrupted by the old eunuch in the palace, dozens of noble ladies fell into the water and were also ruthlessly interrupted when they just walked towards **, although there are all kinds of rumors, and there are even legends that Chu Yuan and Yasukuni Gong fought in the court, and the old Yasukuni Duke turned out to be a hidden great master, and directly beat Chu Shangshu, who was born as a military general, all over the ground........................ Due to the tight-lipped words of the parties and the encouragement of well-intentioned people, the matter eventually became more and more outrageous, and even evolved into several great grandmasters beating each other in the court at that time, and when the version of the battle between Chu Nan and the great grandmaster in the palace was reported, everyone's appetite had already been nourished by the previous message, and not many people would believe it anymore.
Then, everyone simply treats it as a topic, let go of their minds and compile it according to their own ideas, the more outrageous and bizarre the better, if you don't have three or five great masters in the version you say, you are embarrassed to meet people.
In the end, in the winter of the twenty-seventh year of Daliang, what happened in the Forbidden City became a secret, of course, it was only for ordinary people, sometimes, the truth was really far away from them.
.................................................................................................................................... Dugu family, in a small courtyard in the very deep backyard, Dugu Canghai, the head of the Dugu family, who was rumored to have died violently, listened carefully to Dugu's report, rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly and said: "It's almost, it's too late, tell me to go down, and the people who spread all kinds of rumors can stop." ”
If outsiders hear Dugu Canghai's words, I am afraid that they will be frightened, I am afraid that many people did not expect that the rumors that have spread in the capital recently have spread from here, the key is not how the rumors are, but the strong execution of the Dugu family, and the public opinion of the entire capital is easily controlled in their hands.
Dugu Qiu nodded slightly, hesitated, lowered his head and said, "Father, the child wants to visit Chu Nan these days, I don't know if it's okay?"
Dugu Canghai is white and beardless, even if he is nearly fifty years old, he is already a beautiful man, he looked up at Dugu Qiu, nodded with some relief and said: "Presumably Chu Nan's affairs have also stimulated you a lot, you have finally grown a lot, at least dare to tell me what you think." ”
Dugu Qiu's smile was a little sour, and he still had a lot of ideas, but as the heir of the Dugu family, he was afraid that he would be beaten to death if he said it, so he smiled lightly and said: "Since Your Majesty asked the Dugu family to cover up this matter, it must have other arrangements for Chu Nan." Now, everyone is keeping their distance from Chu Nan, and the friendship established at this time is the most stable. It seems that His Majesty wants to cultivate Chu Nan into a force like the Dugu family that is only responsible for the royal family, and the Dugu family and Chu Nan are getting closer, and Your Majesty should not get bored. ”
Dugu Canghai's eyes were a little flickering, and he sighed faintly and said: "Yes, Your Majesty has completely cut off the hope of the Dugu family to develop in the government and the opposition, and does not allow the people of the Dugu family to enter the official career. Feel free to visit Chu Nan, Your Majesty will not have any opinions. ”
The Dugu family was born in the rivers and lakes and green forests, and when the first emperor of the Great Liang raised troops to seek the world, he loyally took refuge, and he could be regarded as having the merit of being a dragon, and his merits were outstanding, even not inferior to a big family like Chu Yang.
It's a pity that the exploits of the Dugu family were all made in secret, and they were all assassinations, poisoning, incitement and rebellion.
At the beginning, the first emperor of the Great Liang raised troops to seek the world, but it was only a small prince, and it was the kind of rough general, in the process of laying down the huge country, in private, it was natural that bloody and vicious means were used, and the specific planning and implementation of the people were all Dugujia, and some of the poisonous means were the people of the Liang royal family shuddered.
Now the territory of Daliang is vast, and the enemies of the year are already the people of Daliang, but if the things done by the Dugu family back then are put on the table to reward meritorious deeds, let the people of Jiangnan know that the countless Jiangnan soldiers who were accidentally poisoned overnight were poisoned by the people of the Dugu family............ The consequences of that would be absolutely unimaginable......... So I had to whitewash the power of the Dugu family, and set up six doors with the original team, which belonged to the royal family instead of the imperial court, and investigated the world, with an excellent reputation among the people, and the influence was very strong, even the imperial court did not dare to start easily.
And the price paid by the Dugu family is that they are not allowed to enter the court in their lives, after all, the bloody and vicious Dugu family is as vicious as the Dugu family, and anyone must be afraid of it.
Speaking of which, for the Dugu family, such a result inevitably seems too cruel, several generations of people have worked hard to contribute to the Liang and bear the infamy, and in the end, the royal success has become famous, and they began to be afraid of the Dugu family, and even deliberately dissociated themselves, the tough and meritorious Dugu family is suppressed in the people, and the Dugu family is not allowed to develop any power in the imperial court, and it is impossible to have the opportunity to leave a name in the history books in the future, such an ending is really a bit sad.
Dugu Qiu naturally knows the situation of the Dugu family, many people in the capital scold the entire Dugu family is full of depression and cold atmosphere, everyone in the Dugu family is born with a dark mind, and likes to sneakily hide in the dark and calculate others.
But who knows, these are all forced by His Majesty of Daliang, the road of the Dugu family has been limited by the Daliang royal family, one generation is like this, and then the next generation...... This is how it will be for the last generation............ Life after life in the circle demarcated by the royal family............ This feeling is very bitter and bitter..........................................
