Chapter 220: Assassination
Gonggong Liu's praise of Xiao Qian made Nan Jinyan very scared, because he didn't know how much power Xiao Qian had in his hands, and he was worried that Xiao Qian might rebel one day.
Xiao Qian's ability is known to the entire court, and even the Queen Mother was afraid of three points in the past. People who have achieved great success are indeed frightening.
Seeing Nan Jinyan's expression so serious, Gonggong Liu asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, why did you suddenly become serious, did you think of something?" ”
Nan Jinyan looked at Gonggong Liu, and stopped talking. He didn't want to say what he thought, for fear that Gonggong Liu would think he was too suspicious, but apart from Gonggong Liu, he had no one to tell the truth.
Gonggong Liu was very smart, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, a slave has no quarrel with the world, and it is a blessing for a slave to be able to serve by the emperor's side." The emperor wanted to tell the minions, but the minions listened, and when they heard it, they rotted in their stomachs. The emperor doesn't want to say that the slave will definitely not ask. Your Majesty, don't think about it, rest well! ”
Nan Jinyan didn't feel sleepy, and said helplessly: "Gonggong Liu, now that Uncle Huang is gone, I still feel a little worried. You see, Shousuke-sama is so powerful, what should I do if he is not controlled one day? ”
Nan Jinyan asked so directly, Gonggong Liu didn't know how to answer for a while, his heart was like a mirror, but as a minion, many words could not be said in person.
He could only shirk and said: "Your Majesty, the slave is stupid, and he can't predict what will happen in the future." Besides, all the power is in your hands, and the emperor will definitely handle it. ”
Nan Jinyan waved his hand, "Don't be like this, you can say whatever comes to mind, will I still punish you for saying the wrong thing?" ”
"That's not it, the slave knows what the emperor is like, but the slave doesn't dare to openly discuss the affairs of the court."
"It's not a matter of the court, it's just a chat, you don't have to pay too much attention to you at all, just say what you think, it's just a reference. Like you said, some words rot in your stomach. ”
Hearing what the emperor said, Gonggong Liu eliminated his worries and said softly: "Your Majesty, Lord Shoufu was appreciated in front of the emperor, and at that time, the slave remembered that the emperor gave him a high evaluation. Because it has been reused, it can be the first and auxiliary minister. The emperor actually had his own ideas about this, maybe because he was in too much of a hurry, so there were some things that he didn't have time to explain to you! ”
Listening to Gonggong Liu's words, Nan Jinyan was also thoughtful, because in his memory, his father did say some things about Xiao Qian, and sometimes he used him to educate himself. However, Nan Jinyan didn't care about it before, thinking that there was nothing difficult about being an emperor, and he had always been very confident.
"When you say that, I also remember something. But then again, even if the father's vision of people is not wrong, but people can change, and he may have followed his father in the past because of his father's ability, or what his father can give him. But now I am completely different from my father, and no matter how hard I try, there is still a big gap between me and my father. ”
"It's impossible for me to be recognized by everyone right now, so many people will be waiting and seeing. Just like those chaotic ministers and thieves, the reason why they mixed up with Uncle Huang was because they suspected that they couldn't compete with Uncle Huang at all, so they took a good way out in advance. Others can betray, can't Shousuke-sama? ”
Nan Jinyan looked at Gonggong Liu and asked seriously.
Gonggong Liu nodded, "What the emperor said, even everyone will change. Shousuke-sama's loyalty to the former emperor is trustworthy. But we don't know what's going to happen next, so the eel's worries are also there. At the beginning, the Queen Mother lowered the curtain to listen to the government, and Lord Shoufu was very impatient, and the slave thought that it was not for other reasons, but hoped that the power would be concentrated in the hands of the emperor. ”
At that time, many people were skeptical of him, thinking that he had any intentions. However, since the disappearance of the Queen Mother, Lord Shoufu has also done his best to help the emperor. just started to do nothing, and that was because the emperor didn't take the initiative to look for him. These subsequent events are enough to see his faithfulness. ”
Nan Jinyan still said helplessly: "I think the same way as yours many times, but I always feel uneasy occasionally. I don't know why, but I always feel like I have a pair of eyes staring at me. Shousuke-sama has outstanding abilities and an unruly personality, if he really wants to do something, I may not be able to stop him at all! ”
Gonggong Liu asked with some concern: "Your Majesty, you don't want to do anything, do you?" ”
Nan Jinyan smiled, "Are you worried that I will deal with him at this time?" This time he only brought a few followers, and if I wanted to make a move, it would be easy. ”
Gonggong Liu nodded, "The slave doesn't dare to speculate on the holy will, but he is indeed a little worried." After all, Lord Shoufu is very important to the emperor now, and the situation has been a little more stable recently, and many people insist on keeping a distance from the prince, and there are also factors of Lord Shoufu. Without the help of Lord Shousuke, many things would have been more difficult for the emperor. ”
"Am I going to never be able to live without her?"
"Not really! It is reasonable that the emperor will encounter many difficulties when he inherits the throne at a young age. However, the slave believes that there will be changes slowly, the emperor is so smart and talented, and one day, he will concentrate all the power in his hands. When the time comes, there is no need to be threatened by anyone, and there is no need to rely on anyone. At that time, it was really the Ninety-Five. ”
"Father-in-law means that you can't act rashly now?"
"Not only should you not be able to move, but you should also be protected. The minion was faintly uneasy, afraid that someone would attack Shousuke-sama. After all, if anyone wants to be an enemy of the emperor, they will get rid of him first. ”
Hearing Gonggong Liu's words, the emperor also became nervous. In fact, he knew in his heart that if he didn't have Xiao Qian, his throne would definitely not be kept. used to rely on the Queen Mother, but now the Queen Mother has been harmed by herself.
Who is most likely to oppose them? Then it must be the prince, there is no doubt about it. The prince has many subordinates, and if he wants to deal with Xiao Qian, then it is not difficult. It may not be possible to do it in the capital, but now that Xiao Qian is outside, no one can help him.
He stood up, "Although the imperial uncle has left now, he must not be convinced, what his father-in-law said is very true, what should we do?" ”
Nan Jinyan had to be nervous, and even felt that his thoughts were a little dirty.
"The birds are good at hiding the cunning rabbit and the dead lackey, but now that I haven't succeeded myself, how can I start mutilating Zhongliang? If my father had a spirit in the sky, it would be sad, right? He couldn't help but blame himself.
