Chapter 17 Leakage Shocking 9
The Emperor beckoned, "Come." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "The two of them went down the stairs of the secret room, to the bottom, but it was another weather, only to see that the secret room was dark but not dark, secret but not stuffy, a beam of sunlight projected from the top of the head, illuminating the indoor scenery brightly, the secret room was full of weapons around it, on the left was a sandalwood arrow crossbow, a carved dragon long knife, a red tasseled iron sword, on the right side is a bull's head double plate axe, sandalwood gossip stick, Zhangba snake spear, and there are four scarred robes hanging in the room, although it is bloodstained, but spotless, it is obvious that the emperor is always chasing and wiping. The emperor sat down on a large chair in the north, looked at the room full of weapons, and let out a long sigh.
Gu Yuecong bowed down and stood in front of him, not daring to speak. The emperor said, "Gu Aiqing, do you know why I sighed?"
Gu Yue Cong knew that the emperor was a straightforward person, and he did not shy away from it at the moment, and said: "Liu Lei Ao stirred up the government and wanted to rebel, and now the palace is full of his ears and eyes, and the emperor is the king of a country, but he has to make a decree in the secret room, so he sighs." ”
The emperor said: "Since ancient times, the disaster of eunuchs interfering in politics is not uncommon, the Han Dynasty's 'disaster of the party' and 'the rebellion of the ten permanent servants' can be very harmful, Ming Fan 276 years, the eunuch party is good at government for almost a hundred years, but there is no emperor as helpless as me, as the king of a country, but there are no soldiers in my hands, and I am helpless against the rebellion in the northwest, I ...... Is...... I am really ashamed of the people of the world and the emperor. I couldn't help but raise my fist and slam it on the table, and I saw fine dust flying on the table in the sun.
Gu Yuecong knelt down and said, "The emperor is angry. ”
The emperor said: "I am not angry, I have made the great country like this, what qualifications do I have to be angry, I feel sad." After a pause, he said, "There are no outsiders here, you get up and talk." ”
Gu Yuecong stood up, and the emperor also stood up, looked at the weapons in the room and said: "These are all weapons left by the old and important ministers who followed the emperor's father to fight the country, and I searched them in this secret room so that I can always remember, and also let me remember that the world is not easy to come by." He picked up a piece of armor that was only half left, and said, "You have come to see me, and you have already thought of a way to pay tribute?"
Gu Yuecong said: "If you don't hide it from the emperor, you want to pay tribute and return to Beijing, and there is no way to humble yourself." ”
The Emperor asked, "Then what are you doing here to see me?"
Gu Yuecong said: "I came to see the emperor because I wanted to ask the emperor for permission to depose the moon tribute. ”
As soon as the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but change his face, turned his head and glared at Gu Yuecong viciously, and finally threw half of his helmet on the ground in anger, and said loudly: "What, you also advise me to take the Zen position?" It turned out that among the courtiers, there were many people who admonished the emperor at every opportunity, and reminded him that the Zen position could save his life, and he heard that Gu Yuecong had "no way" to return to Beijing with tribute, and even persuaded himself to depose the Yuegong, only that Gu Yuecong had also been bought by Liu Leiao.
Gu Yue Cong knew that the emperor had misinterpreted his words, so he didn't say much at the moment, but knelt down and said: "There is no such intention in humble position." ”
The emperor said angrily, "What else do you mean?"
Gu Yuecong said: "Your Majesty, I heard that among the eighteen major sects in the rivers and lakes, there have been twelve major sects gathered in Helan Mountain, just waiting to hijack the moon tribute, even if Liu Lei Ao does not send a single soldier, this group of people also has 20,000 people, even if the Ouyang sect leader will do his best to help the humble position, the Qingying faction, the Taiyi Beidou faction, and Xiaohuang Nunnery are also willing to help, but there are only three or four thousand people, if you want to protect the tribute, it is no different from giving it away." ”
Before he could finish speaking, the emperor shouted: "Lobbyist, another lobbyist! Let me tell you, even if I don't have a single soldier in my hands, I will definitely not hand over the great country to a cruel and vicious eunuch, I am ...... Even if I die, I will not let the inheritance created by the former emperor be ruined in my hands!"
Gu Yuecong said unhurriedly: "Therefore, if you want to think about it, only the emperor can depose this year's moon worship tribute, which is the best policy." ”
The emperor said, "What kind of bullshit are you doing?"
Gu Yuecong said: "Your Majesty, Liu Lei arrogantly instigated the eighteen major sects to hijack the moon worship, which is nothing more than to rob money to supplement his military salary. The emperor once said that Tongtian Mansion is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has to be guarded by Zheng Shouwei, and there has been no mistake for decades, so why not leave the moon worship tribute in Tongtian Mansion, or even return the moon worship to the people, Liu Lei Ao can't get the silver, even if a million heroes are in hand, it is in vain, and his rebellion and trick are not self-defeating. ”
The emperor was angry and angry, but the more he heard it, the more his expression changed, and when Gu Yuecong finished speaking, he had already stood up, pacing in the room, and said one after another: "Let me think about it, don't you speak, let me think about it." After a long time, he suddenly said: "Yes, yes, I and my cronies in the DPRK and China have been thinking all night, just how to transport the moon tribute back to Beijing in its entirety, how not to be hijacked by the dog surnamed Liu, but no one thought of leaving the moon worship in Tongtian Mansion, hahaha...... It's a good 'return to the people', wonderful, wonderful. In the end, I was so happy in my heart that my voice couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Gu Yuecong was overjoyed and asked, "Then the emperor agreed?"
The emperor stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "You are this problem, what do you have to say, you are beating around the bush, I think you are also bought by Liu Leiao, you kid, but it really scared me." ”
Gu Yuecong said: "The emperor is angry. ”
The emperor turned around again, looked at the room full of weapons, his eyes were slightly moist, and said: "Worshipping the moon is a rule handed down by the first emperor, so I collect it every year, first, I can't bear to break the practice of the first emperor, saying that I am an emperor who acts arbitrarily and recklessly, and the second is to let the people of the northwest know that the whole world is not the king's land, and I am their master." As for the things presented by the moon tribute, from the local area to the capital, from the bedbugs around me to my hands, there is not much left, and what has been brought to me is just a little bit of play. In today's situation, don't say that if you want to return the wealth to the people, you want me to take all the money from the treasury, so what's the matter?" After a pause, he said: "Gu Aiqing, you have a good method, I will do it if I am ready, so I will fuck do it." ”
Gu Yuecong was overjoyed, knelt down and said: "Thank you to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
The emperor helped him up with both hands, frowned, and said: "Although Tongtianfu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Liu Leiao doesn't see the moon tribute sent out, he will definitely fight to the death, maybe he will jump over the wall in a hurry and raise troops in a hurry, but except for the two thousand guards in the palace, there are really no decent soldiers and horses." This plan is wonderful, but it is really dangerous, and it is extremely dangerous. ”
Gu Yuecong said: "Therefore, the humble position still has to invite friends from the rivers and lakes to go to Tongtianfu to pretend to protect the tribute into Beijing, one hopes that the situation in Beijing can be reversed, and the other hopes that the moon tribute can be distributed to the people, and even if Liu Leiao captures Tongtianfu, he will not get a penny." ”
The emperor nodded and said, "Good, good." It's not too late for us to discuss it slowly. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and said, "Gu Aiqing, you are worthy of being Ouyang's old monster...... Ouyang Laowei's right-hand man, I really didn't see the wrong person, hehe, if it weren't for the fact that you would not be able to worship the moon tribute, I really wanted to keep you by my side and give me advice on how to eradicate Liu Leiao. ”
When Gu Yuecong heard this, he naturally thought of Ha Linglong, bowed down and said: "Dare to ask the emperor, Liu Lei is under his command, but there are only General Qi and General Ha's soldiers and horses?
