Chapter 27: Heart-to-heart talks

Emperor Wei said that the second thing he did after ascending the throne was to improve the food of the army, so that the soldiers could eat well and well, so that they could have the strength to fight?

As for the first thing, Emperor Wei still said it after teasing Liu Chu.

"The first thing I did when I ascended the throne was to bow my head. Emperor Wei looked up at the bright night sky and squinted his eyes and said.

Liu Chu squinted his eyes and lowered his head? When the emperor still needs to bow his head? This is impossible for ordinary people to think, the emperor is the biggest one in the world, who can make him bow his head?

"It's incredible, isn't it? The first thing I want to do is bow to others, an emperor, to bow to others. Emperor Wei took a deep breath and looked a little uneasy.

"Mu Qing?" Liu Chu said tentatively.

The emperor was silent for a while, then let out a long breath, "Yes, bow to Mu Qing." ”

"Can't you have my dad here?" Liu Chu frowned.

When Emperor Wei ascended the throne, Liu Zhanguo should have already had a high prestige in the army, and having the support of Liu Zhanguo is equivalent to the support of the army, and the army is the most important thing to ensure whether a person's power can be stabilized.

With the support of the army, do you still need to be afraid of Mu Qing?

"You don't understand, the Emperor Taishang didn't have much power at that time, Mu Qing was the center of the power of the entire imperial court, in my opinion, Mu Qing was more like an emperor......"

Emperor Wei shook his head and expressed his helplessness.

"Mu Qing held a lot of power at that time, but he governed the country very well, and no one could pick out the criticism, plus many ministers at that time were picked up by Mu Qing and stood on Mu Qing's side, and the emperor was not easy to move Mu Qing. ”

"It wasn't until I ascended the throne that I slowly began to find a way to empty Mu Qing's power, and the first step was to take back the military power, and the army was handed over to Liu Zhan Guo to manage. The second step is to replace the ministers he has picked up one by one, and then he will be alone, and it will be easy for me to pull him out. ”

"However, I don't have anyone available! Rashly replacing someone who is not capable enough to replace him is not good for Great Wei, this is the reason why I have been unable to move Mu Qing for a long time, so you young people have to work hard to make me have someone available!"

Emperor Wei said a lot in one breath, his biggest headache is the problem of talents, if he has a lot of available talents in his hands, there will be nothing to do with Mu Qing.

The current situation is that Emperor Wei wants to do Mu Qing, but Great Wei can't do without Mu Qing, which is a very contradictory thing, and it is also a thing that makes Emperor Wei very painful.

"Grass People...... Minister, you must live up to Your Majesty's entrustment!" Liu Chu said that after the grass people, he immediately changed his words and called himself a minister.

"I can be sure of one thing, Mu Qing will not do anything to be sorry for Great Wei. However, he will definitely do something sorry for me!"

Emperor Wei said very firmly, power, after all, can make a person go crazy and lose his heart.

What Mu Qing was secretly doing, Emperor Wei really didn't know? It's just that Emperor Wei was also helpless, and couldn't find a good time to pull out Mu Qing in one fell swoop.

"Your Majesty and the ministers talk so much, isn't it ......" Liu Chu felt that an emperor should not say so many things to his subordinates, not to mention things related to the court situation, such as Emperor Wei's plan to get rid of Mu Qing, as an emperor, he shouldn't tell anyone!

It's abnormal, it's too abnormal, it makes Liu Chuchu very panicked, he is afraid of getting involved in events beyond his control, he is too weak, he can't stand the impact of strong winds and waves.

"I ...... It's so boring, some things are uncomfortable without saying it, and when General Liu was here before, I could still talk to him, but he was already ......."

"You're his son, I think it's okay to talk to you. ”

Liu Chu calmed down, stood up and bowed seriously, "Thank you for your trust!"

"Don't fix this nonsense. ”

Emperor Wei patted the steps and motioned for Liu Chu to come and sit down.

Liu Chu sat down again, and Emperor Wei waited for Liu Chu to sit down, and then continued.

"I signed a treaty with the other eight countries and sacrificed your father, which actually has something to do with Mu Qing. ”

When Emperor Wei said this, Liu Chu raised his head suddenly, he knew that his father Liu Zhan Guo was sacrificed because of a transaction, but he was not too clear about the specific details, and he seemed to be able to understand the truth of the matter at this time.

"Back then, I deduced countless times with your father, and calculated that after trading with the other eight countries, Wei had a chance to prosper for a hundred years, and even insisted on not destroying the country for a thousand years. There is no country that will not perish, and it is already remarkable that it can hold out for a thousand years. ”

"However, it is also very likely that the 20-year transition period will not pass, and it will be wiped out by the other eight countries together. If, sixteen years have passed since the twenty-year period, there are still four years left. ”

Liu Chu nodded, so far, it is almost the same as the information he got.

"In fact, there is another point, by doing so, it can also immediately empty Mu Qing's power, even if it is not empty, it can also weaken his power. After annexing half of the territory of the other eight countries, the Wei state expanded in area, and many places needed to be garrisoned and sent officials to govern, and there would inevitably be many more official positions, and I could arrange my own people in important official positions. ”

"At the same time, I can also transfer some ministers who are standing on Mu Qing's side to remote areas, so that the people around Mu Qing will be transferred away one by one, and the positions vacated by these transferred people will also be replaced by my people. ”

"In this way, isn't Mu Qing completely stripped of his power?"

Liu Chu didn't expect that there was such a link in it, this was indeed a good way to empty Mu Qing's power in the short term.

"However, after all the calculations, I didn't calculate, there are not many available talents around me......"

Emperor Wei sighed heavily, if there were available talents around him, maybe Mu Qing would have been forced to "return to his hometown" by now and retire and enjoy happiness.

"I and your father missed that. When I reacted, it was already a little late, but fortunately, there was still a certain opportunity for remediation, four years, I was going to have a big blood exchange, and the future Dawei would be your young Dawei. ”

In fact, the time left for Emperor Wei may only be one year, and he only said four years in order to make Liu Chu feel at ease.

Recently, Mu Qing has united several important ministers of the imperial court, and asked the eldest prince to be the crown prince at the court meeting several times, and let the eldest prince enter the cabinet to learn how to deal with court politics.

Mu Qing's thoughts couldn't be more obvious, this is planning to push the eldest prince to the throne and force His Majesty to abdicate early!

If there is no accident, His Majesty can still reign for about forty years, Emperor Wei is only in his early forties, and his strength is also just entering the Qi Gathering Realm, his health is far better than that of ordinary people, and his life span will be a little longer than that of ordinary people.

And Mu Qing is now seventy-two years old, he is an ordinary person, he doesn't even have the strength of a martial artist, how long can he live? Even if he can live a long life, it will only live for another twenty-eight years, compared to Emperor Wei's continued reign of forty years, he can't survive.

Therefore, there is not much time left for Mu Qing, so he can't wait to push the eldest prince to the throne.

Once the eldest prince succeeds to the throne, Mu Qing will be the elder of the three dynasties, and he will be eligible to get the king! As long as he unites several important ministers and jointly writes to push him, he can become a king with a different surname!

With Mu Qing's merits, coupled with the qualifications of the elders of the three dynasties, and the recommendation of important ministers of the imperial court, he really has the slightest possibility of becoming a king with a different surname, then he is the first king with a different surname canonized after the founding of the country, and his name will remain in history!

The only thing that made Emperor Wei happy was that the eldest prince was upright and knowledgeable, and he would inevitably be a generation of Ming monarchs in the future.

But if the eldest prince is really pushed to the throne by Mu Qing, then he will face the same situation as Emperor Chen Fengxian of Wei now, and he will be constrained by Mu Qing in everything, and he will be forced to reluctantly crown Mu Qing as the king with a different surname.

Emperor Wei didn't want to see such a situation happen, so before the next Emperor Wei succeeded to the throne, he had to remove the tumor of Mu Qing, only in this way would the country of Wei be more stable, and the royal family of Wei would not be threatened!

"Your Majesty, why don't you just send someone to give Mu Qing to ......" Liu Chu made a gesture to wipe his neck.

"Assassination? Do you really think that if you kill Mu Qing, everything will be over?" Emperor Wei shook his head.

"There is a group of ministers around Mu Qing who are facing him, killing Mu Qing, which means that I am going to start moving those people, and those people will start to jump over the wall in a hurry, these people are high and powerful, and the court relies on them to deal with many things, once they are reversed, do you think the country of Great Wei can still be stable?"

"What will be the sequelae of this series of consequences? Those Xiaoxiao who have been pressed down may take advantage of this to make trouble, maybe bandits will rise everywhere, and the monarchs of other countries will definitely fall into the well and send troops to attack the Great Wei, and under the internal and external troubles, the Great Wei will not fall apart?"

After Emperor Wei finished speaking, Liu Chu knew that he was thinking too simply, or too tender, and he couldn't think of all aspects when he considered things, he couldn't imagine that killing Mu Qing suddenly now would cause such serious consequences.

"Alas, the power of one person is sometimes weak, but sometimes, just because of one person, it can subvert the whole country!"

Emperor Wei shook his head and sighed, Liu Chu suddenly found that Emperor Wei had eaten the last bite of steamed buns, and then took out a big white steamed bun from his arms.

Liu Chu's eyes widened, and he felt incredible, there was even a third one? Could this Emperor Wei have a treasure bag on him? Otherwise, where would he have the space to stuff three big white steamed buns into his clothes, and people would not be able to see that he was hiding.

"And one more, will you eat it?"

Emperor Wei was like a trick, and he actually took out the fourth big white steamed bun from his arms!

"Your Majesty, is there a fifth steamed bun?" Liu Chu covered his face.

"Two is not enough to eat? ”

Emperor Wei pointed not far behind him, and at some point, there were two forbidden army guards standing there, and the two of them were holding a whole drawer of big white steamed buns on their heads, and they were still hot, and there was hot air coming out of them.

The corners of Liu Chu's mouth twitched, looked at the big white steamed bun in his hand, and swallowed.
