Volume 1 Ling Yuan's Old Affair and New Plot Chapter 126 Five Years and One Sword, Murder and Punishment (Autobiography) II

The high place is unbearable, at this moment, I am standing at the head of Lingyuan City, the cold wind is blowing by, my mind is becoming more and more sober, and my thoughts are becoming longer and longer.

......

In my understanding, in fact, His Majesty's seed for cutting off the world was planted fourteen years ago, but it was only twelve years ago that he officially made up his mind to eradicate the world and take action.

I still remember that in 327 A.D., that is, 14 years ago, Yan Chengxun, the eldest son of the Yan family in Yunzhong County, Muzhou, came to Chang'an, Gyeonggi, this kid with five horses and spears, not afraid of heaven and earth, failed to molest a good woman on the street of Chang'an, thought that his face was damaged, and angrily took his whole family of seven to a private house, burned at the stake, and burned to death with live charcoal, causing a tragedy that shocked Chang'an.

Your Majesty Long Yan was furious, and ordered Yan Chengxun to divide the corpses of five horses within three days to correct the criminal law, and I forwarded the edict approved by His Majesty to the Imperial History Mansion, but I didn't know that the words "five horses and corpses" on the second day of the edict were changed to "distribute thirty miles", shocked, sad, angry!

As far as I know, so far, His Majesty has not found which king and eight calves revised the edict that day!

I still remember, that day, the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace, there was a dead silence, I stood in the center of the Xuanshu Palace, full of righteous indignation, His Majesty sat in front of the steps, after listening to my tirade, smiled helplessly at me, and said softly, "Aiqing, a few years ago, I didn't have any thoughts, so I wanted to sit on this dragon chair, show my ambitions, like the kings of the past, to be able to expand the territory of my Han Dynasty and become a Ming Jun for centuries." But, hey, the emperor did my part, you and I didn't expect it, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, my heart was full of grief, and I hated myself for wanting to help the world in time, but I had no leader and talent, and the thief deceived the king, but the king had no choice but to sit and wait for death.

This, this is a dereliction of duty as a courtier!

I half-knelt down in front of the steps, looked at the standing attendant next to me who didn't know which big clan had arranged to come in and eavesdrop, and whispered, "Your Majesty, Tiandan restored the homeland of Qi with the power of two cities, and the first emperor restored my Han rivers and mountains with a corner of the territory." A hundred years ago, the country and the people have survived, and now that the long wind has just risen, Your Majesty must not be discouraged! ”

His Majesty said in distress, "What does Aiqing want?" The clan Yu and the empire have the grace of reconstruction, is it possible to kill him all over the field and make me a treacherous person? ”

His Majesty looked at me, shook his head helplessly, and walked away.

"The world has no grace in the country! Your Majesty. I hurriedly grabbed His Majesty and said urgently, "Why don't you think about it?" Rong Chen, think about it! ”

"Tomorrow night, three watches, an appointment here."

His Majesty lightly threw down a sentence, turned around and walked away

I am both surprised and delighted that my husband's meritorious service to the country and the elimination of tumors are at this moment. That night, I tossed and turned, turned on the lights all night, sorted out my thoughts and thoughts for a year, and worked hard to write and write books, which were gathered into a volume.

To this day, I still regret my thesis. When I was young and frivolous, I always thought that I could overwhelm the crowd and run through the long river, so I was empty-eyed and didn't know how to accumulate thick and thin. On the premise of no systematic planning, he set a major policy for His Majesty at will, which is really against the way of the courtiers, and now I think back that if there were no radicals like us in those years, there would have been no radical theory of 'quick battle and quick solution' around Your Majesty, Your Majesty would not have been so radical, and perhaps, there would have been no later two sons and many concubines and passive situation.

The wind and rain outside the curtain are stormy, and the moonlight in the room is thick. On the night of the meeting, I entrusted the second brother who was already the captain of Long Xiang, and pretended to be a guard of Long Xiang, and met with His Majesty in the west room of the Xuanshu Palace.

I sat upright, went straight to the topic, followed His Majesty's sentence, and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to be Geng Jie because of the power of the family, since ancient times, the change of dynasties and the displacement of artifacts, there will always be the right to interfere in the affairs of the court, as strong as the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, didn't it take some time to sit firmly on the dragon chair under the buttocks?" ”

His Majesty that night, for some reason, was always a little anxious, I remember, he didn't even seem to respond to me, so he asked me urgently, "Aiqing don't want to be relieved, the fruit planted by the first emperor and me will naturally be broken, what is Aiqing's good plan?" ”

"Your Majesty is a few years older than me, and in my opinion, it is like knowing that I understand my brother, at this moment, the king is disgraced and my brother is suffering, how dare the minister stand by and watch."

Although these words came from the bottom of my heart, but also risked the world's greatness, I suddenly lost my words, so I quietly looked up at His Majesty, and found that he didn't care, I dared to continue to bow my head and speak, "The minister has thought for a long time for the strategy of pacifying the world, and the current family is more than the kings of thirty years ago, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it hard." It is better to take advantage of the strength of the world, use the interests of the worlds to entangle each other, divide and dissolve, take advantage of the mutual constraints between the worlds, see the seams, first the central and then the localities, and gradually replace the officials with people who are loyal to Your Majesty and have no other hearts, and wait until those worlds react, I am afraid it will be too late! ”

After speaking, I looked at Your Majesty by the dark light outside the window, and Your Majesty also looked at me by the moonlight of the silver shuttle, Your Majesty hesitated and hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "Wealth and danger are begging, you and I are kings and ministers, just do it!" ”

At that time, I was immersed in the joy of the success of the proposal, and when I heard His Majesty's decision, I bowed my head and smiled, and said a very reckless sentence, "The winner is the king and the loser is Kou, and the ministers are willing to follow Your Majesty and enter the rivers and lakes together." ”

At that time, I deeply believed that the monarch and the minister were of the same heart, and their profits were golden.

Each clan seems to have its own circle and "territory", and the top clans either form a group with a state and county, or form a gang with an official position, such as the Quzhou Gang led by the Jiang family, the Liuzhou Alliance composed of the four major families of Gulu, Zhang and Zhu, and the Yanzhou Party formed by the four powerful lords of Gongke Moqing, etc., or entrenched in the state and county, dominating one side, or holding a high position and holding public weapons, they don't seem to know each other, but they have an incomparably mysterious tacit understanding, each has its own territory, is not related to each other, and rarely conflicts.

Your Majesty and I searched hard for a year, racking my brains, so that the ambitious head of the Gu family and the patriarch of the Qing clan had a big quarrel over the border army's grain and grass.

After a year, I finally understood: I overestimated myself, underestimated the world, it turns out that I am not the only smart person in the world, many people are not only smarter than you, but also more knowledgeable than you, more powerful than you, more insight, reaction and strength than you, they gather together, like gravel into a sandbar, in their eyes, like a bohemian tree in the sandbank, as long as they want to, want to destroy me, it is just a matter of blowing a breath.

Perhaps, I shouldn't have pierced this layer of window paper that no one dared to poke, or I should have just burned this layer of paper.

Many big families who sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight naturally saw many doorways, and began to be more restrained and tacit understanding with each other, and His Majesty and I never found any chance.

As my grandfather gradually withdrew from politics, his protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials began to find other backers, and there were fewer and fewer people who could help me speak and do things for me.

In those days, it was really called that the heavens should not be, and the earth was not spiritual.

......

Where there are people, there will naturally be disputes, two years later, a cry, the second prince fell to the ground, and since then, in the choice of the heir of the country, His Majesty has a new choice.

The birth of the second prince's biological mother, Zhang Diewu, has a gentle temperament and never covets power, but the husband is not guilty and guilty, the birth of the second prince made Zhang Diewu's family, that is, the Liuzhou Longnan Zhang family, ambitious, they began to contact some of the middle families who tried to establish 'from the dragon' to rank among the top clans, and began to frantically suppress the prince's party composed of most of the top clans.

During that time, I would be angry every day, these clans, openly displacing the artifact as an opportunity to seize power in the temple, abusing their power, fighting openly and secretly, could it be that their family wanted to be the Cao Wei Sima clan? Do they want to be Sima Yi?

One day, my father and I wrote a secret letter, allowing me to deal with myself at the right time, telling me to find the right time to take refuge with the side with a higher probability of winning.

I was angry and angry, Lingyuan Liu is the family of two generations of emperors and six generations of loyal martyrs, when the royal power was overthrown, my father did not think about pacifying the troubled times, but asked me to decide to stand in line? Father confused?

No, he's not confused!

It's just that I forgot, my Lingyuan Liu family, is also a big family second only to the twenty-eighth clan of Conglong back then.

Xiao Xiao was cold on a cold night, my body was cold and my heart was cold, I was holding the letter, and a poisonous plan suddenly came to my heart.

I once again disguised myself and had a private meeting with His Majesty's West Wing Room, and said bluntly, "Your Majesty, why don't you make a fuss about this matter?" ”

Your Majesty raised an eyebrow, and I bowed my head and attached my ears.

After listening to my plan, Your Majesty gently patted me on the shoulder, so, on behalf of the Lingyuan Liu family, I joined the party of the second prince and the first prince, since Your Majesty is unwilling to bear this ungrateful infamy, then I will change the means for Your Majesty.

The year I joined the Second Prince's Party, that is, in 329 AD, was a year of great harvest for His Majesty, under my instigation, the clans of the two camps fought more fiercely, under the mutual bite of the two parties, some of the court ministers and feudal officials in the two camps were pulled down, for the candidates arranged by His Majesty, as long as it was not the other camp, both sides had no opinion, and His Majesty naturally replaced the Dasi Nong, Shaofu and Tingwei in the twelve secretaries with loyal and reliable people.

I am smug that if I continue like this, within three years, the ministers loyal to Your Majesty will be all over the court and the opposition. At that time, His Majesty will hold 12 internal guards and be in charge of the fingers, and the local wealthy families will be nothing more than a group of rich landowners who are guarding the land of death, and they will fall down when they push it, or even if they don't push it.

However, good dreams do not last long, and good things do not last long. At the end of that year, the disaster broke out in the Xiao Wall, and the Great Prince's Party created the 'Heavenly Demon Case', and most of the ministers of the DPRK and Central Committee who joined the two princes and the party were mostly implicated and were dismissed from office.

Of course, the clans of the Second Prince's Party did not sit still, they planned to break the kettle, so there was the Gyeonggi Rebellion later.

And with the chaos of the world in Gyeonggi, my plan has once again failed, and this time, the price of failure is too heavy!

That night, I didn't choose to die to reward the Son of Heaven, but returned suddenly, leaving only a thousand mountains.

On the way home with Yi'er, I heard that His Majesty invited Lu Zheng to come out of the mountain, and I couldn't help but cover my mouth and laugh, this is the great fortune of the country, the great fortune of the country?

After a few years, and then stepping on the homeland, Lingyuan City is still the same Lingyuan City, with mountains and rivers, and I miss it very much.

At that time, I was standing at the west gate, with mixed tastes, Yamamoto was worry-free, snow-white, and water-free, wrinkled by the wind.

The kingship has changed hands, the dynasty has changed, and this country has never changed because of people.

The world has no heart, but it takes root because of the country!
