Chapter 37: The Struggle for Power (1)

After Kang Chengxun returned to Beijing, he wrote a table to the emperor; After Li Zi returned to Beijing, he wrote a "Letter to the Emperor" to the emperor.

The emperor didn't have much talent, he took the two watches of Kang Chengxun and Li Zi, and didn't know what to do.

The emperor instructed his subordinates: "Invite Prime Minister Linghu here!" ”

Ling Fox is the emperor's most trusted person, and the emperor wants to ask Ling Fox what to do.

……

Why does the emperor believe in Ling Fox so much?

Ling Fox is good at flattery.

He often said in the emperor's ear, Your Majesty, you have fun, and everything is for the emperor.

He did everything, and he let the emperor play, so the emperor admired him very much.

……

After some time, Ling Fox came.

The emperor said: "Prime Minister Linghu, look at this." ”

The emperor took the two watches of Kang Chengxun and Li Zi to Ling Huxuan.

Ling Huxuan took Kang Chengxun and Li Zi's two watches and looked at them, and he almost fainted.

Ling Fox took Li Zi's "Letter to the Emperor", and when he saw it, Li Zi persuaded the emperor to "be a virtuous minister and a villain".

Linghu Xuanxin said: Who is the villain?

Ling Huxuan looked at Kang Chengxun's watch again, and after reading it, he was even more angry, Kang Chengxun was his person, and Kang Chengxun also let Li Zi "buy", he was even more angry.

……

Ling Huxuan looked at the table that Kang Chengxun and Li Zi gave to the emperor, and he was very angry.

However, at this time, the emperor admired Kang Chengxun and Li Zi very much, and Li Zi was the emperor's own brother, so he did not dare to directly oppose Kang Chengxun and Li Zi.

Kang Chengxun and Li Zigang defeated Pang Xun, and the emperor liked Kang Chengxun and Li Zi, so that the fox didn't dare to say directly that Kang Chengxun and Li Zi were not good.

……

What to do?

Ling Fox thought about it, and he came up with an idea.

Ling Fox first praised Kang Chengxun and Li Zi's expression according to his emotions.

Ling Fox said that the table of the four princes is well written, the emperor should listen to the four princes, the emperor should be "pro-virtuous ministers, far villains", the emperor should be pro-ministers such virtuous ministers, and stay away from those nonsense villains.

Then, Ling Fox began to "stab the knife" at Li Zi.

Ling Fox said: "However, the minister thinks that the fourth prince has done something inappropriate. ”

The emperor said, "What did my fourth brother do wrong? ”

Ling Fox said: "The imperial decree clearly says that those who surrender to thieves are guilty of a thousand cuts, and the four princes said that they can be exempted from Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, Sima Yan, etc., and the ministers think that what the four princes did is inappropriate." ”

"Tell me what you mean."

"Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, and Sima Yan are extremely evil, how can the emperor pardon them? The emperor pardoned them today, what if someone follows suit in the future? The important thing is that whether they surrendered to the court this time is their sincerity, I don't know yet. Today they can surrender to the thief Kou Pang Xun, who can guarantee that tomorrow they will not surrender to other thieves? And also....... ”

"What else?"

"The minister didn't dare to say it."

"It doesn't hurt to say that."

"The minister is just guessing."

"It doesn't hurt to say that."

"The minister suspects that the fourth prince has a disobedient heart to the emperor."

"My fourth brother has a disobedience to me?"

"The minister is just guessing. The minister suspected that the four princes were merciful to Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, Sima Yan, etc., and that it was the four princes who developed his own strength. ”

"What?"

……

Ling Fox's words deeply moved the emperor.

The emperor is most worried that someone will be disobedient to him.

Whoever has a hundredth disobedience to him, he wants to kill whomever he wants.

If you have a heart for me, where do you want to push me to the country?

……

The emperor asked Linghu Xuan: "Prime Minister Linghu, what do you say about this?" ”

Ling Fox said: "For the four princes, at present, the minister has not found that the four princes really have a heart for the emperor, and the four princes are the emperor's brothers, and the ministers dare not say much; For Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, and Sima Yan, the minister believes that the emperor should kill them. ”

"Should they be killed?"

"Those who surrender to thieves should be killed."

The emperor said, "Okay." ”

The emperor believed Ling Fox's words.

The emperor immediately issued an order to kill Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, and Sima Yan.

……

Ling Fox was very happy.

Ling Fox thought to himself:

I'll soon find a reason to kill Li Zi.

Li Zi is very righteous, I asked the emperor to kill Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, and Sima Yan, Li Zi will definitely react, once Li Zi reacts to help Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, and Sima Yan, Li Zi is an "fornication thief", and I have a reason to let the emperor kill Li Zi.

I'll let you say I'm a villain!

……

Ling Fox also thought:

This time, Li Zi will not fall into my trap, and Li Zi will have no face to see people in the future.

Li Zi said to Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, and Sima Yan that surrendering to the imperial court can exempt all sins, Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, and Sima Yan surrendered to the imperial court, and the imperial court still killed, Li Zi "doesn't count when he speaks", how will Li Zi meet people in the future?

This time, Li Zi will not fall into my trap, and in the future, Li Zi can only find a place where no one is closed.

……

Ling Fox was very happy.

He happily left the emperor.

……

The emperor ordered to kill Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, and Sima Yan.

Ling Hu asked his people to take the emperor's holy decree to kill Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, and Sima Yan.

……

Soon, the emperor sent an order to kill Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, and Sima Yan, and Li Zi knew about it.

Li Zi couldn't know that he deliberately "let the fox go".

Ling Huxuan thought to himself: The emperor sent an edict to kill Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, and Sima Yan, I will let you Li Zi know, I will see how you Li Zi reacts, you Li Zi dares to report to Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, and Sima Yan, I will say that you are an adulterer.

……

Li Zi knew that the emperor had ordered the killing of Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, and Sima Yan, and he was very anxious.

Li Zixin said: Isn't this treating me to injustice and injustice? You can not kill Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, and Sima Yan, I said it. I said that the court didn't kill them, but the court still killed them, didn't I treat me unkindly?

……

Li Zi knew that it was useless to find the emperor to theorize now.

Li Zi immediately wrote letters to Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, and Sima Yan.

The letter means that the emperor wants to kill you, so you should quickly find a place to hide.

Li Zi called several of his family members.

Several of Li Zirang's family members immediately sent the letter to Zhuge Shuang, Juan, Xiahou Gulai, and Sima Yan.

……

Li Zi asked several of his family members to deliver the letter, and several of his family members stood there in a daze with the letter.

Several of his family members understood that this was an "fornication thief", and if this letter fell into the hands of the emperor, no one would survive.

Li Zi saw several family members standing there without moving, and he became angry.

Li Zi said: "Are you my family? Do you listen to me? ”

"Fourth prince, this letter can't be sent! If this letter falls into the hands of the emperor, not only the villains will not survive, but you will also not be able to live! ”

"I am death, I can't fall into the name of unkindness and injustice, if you are afraid of death, you immediately take my letter and go to the emperor to report me!"
