Chapter 15 The battle between the mule

"Don't play any cat-catching tricks," the emperor sat back in the chair dejectedly, pointed to the nose of the king of Wei and said, "Lao Si, you are indeed more promising than me. No wonder your father liked you so much back then. If it weren't for the difference between the direct concubines, you really had to sit in this dragon chair. These literary ministers are really powerful. The emperors who are so heroic as their father can't resist them.

"This is the point. Now in the palace, it should be all your people. At least we are brothers. The world will be yours soon. At least you have to tell me what's going on. Let me close my eyes even if I die.

The emperor was depressed and his tone was low, as if he had accepted his fate, and his voice was even more tired: "In recent years, I have been painstakingly and alone. For a long time, I want to reorganize the imperial class and take over the power of the vassal town. Unexpectedly, it will be empty after all."

The king of Wei suddenly stood up and shocked the emperor: "You look away now. What have you done earlier?" He pointed out of the hall: "Brother, do you know why you lost to me because you are too to toss around?"

"I saw clearly the virtues of those civil officials 30 years ago. At the beginning, my father was so heroic that he couldn't beat them. Who could stand it? But, brother, my good brother, have you forgotten," he stared at the emperor with a playful expression and sarcastic eyes: "What did they fight against their father desperately for?"

"They did this to protect your throne. Without them, it is still unknown who will fall to this throne. And now, are you ridiculous enough to doubt them?

"These literary ministers have many problems. They are greedy, oblivioned, have a good reputation, and seize power," the king of Wei broke his fingers and wrote down one by one: "They play with people's hearts, kidnap public opinion, seize the emperor, provoke the princes, and usually have a good reputation for their power, forget righteousness, and form party privacy. Although there are thousands of words in their writing, there is no way in their minds. In a word, it's impossible to expect them to do practical things. It's a good thing to make them do bad. But brother, you forgot that they have a good one," his voice suddenly rose, full of helplessness: "They are a group of dead-hearted people."

"If it hadn't been for these desperate corrupt Confucianism, my father would have made me his heir, and there would have been no later changes. But big brother, you are dizzy. Just because these civil servants are opposed to your power, you regard them as my followers. Haha, when I look at your wrong move and force them to the point of opposing you, especially the court meeting on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, you must think it's my handwriting, right?

"You are stupid. They killed so many people before they held you to the top. You are cowardly and incompetent. You just let them do whatever they want and control the government. With their greed, how can you, the emperor, help me as the prince?

"These civil servants are just old-fashioned and can't tolerate damage to their own interests. If you want to seize power and innovate, of course they oppose it. They are not against you. They are against all changes that are not under their control. All uncertainties beyond common sense and expectations will be strangled by them. However, they will never touch your throne, because you are their best support object and the most suitable person to be a puppet.

"Our brothers, the second brother is domineering and jumps by nature. The third brother is patient and decisive, brave and good at fighting. As for me, since I am a concubine, I have been beaten into a different category by them. If I hadn't been concerned about my father's face, and I have made friends with them over the years, I have been hiding my privacy and clean and self-friendly. This made them put down their guard. Only you, big brother, are benevolent and cowardly, and you are their best emperor. If you support your accession to the throne, you can not only get the reputation of Zhijun Yaoshun, but also take the opportunity to control the government and enrich your own pockets. Why not?

"So they have no reason to take chestnuts from my fire. Even if I ascend to the throne, what benefits can they get? My performance in those years was really eye-catching. Over the years, I have tried my best to make up for the rescue, and only made them relax their vigilance a little. Even so, they still regard me as a factor of instability and have been suppressing my power.

"It's you who really helped me." The king of Wei looked at the emperor with a surprised expression in front of him, and a strange feeling rose in his heart: "You are getting older, dissatisfied with your imperial power in the Chinese martial arts, and want to return the decree, so you have been tossing everywhere over the years, which has gradually bored these literary ministers who supported you. They guaranteed you to ascend the throne for stability, but you violated their taboo.

"Originally, you have the identity of the eldest son, and you are already invincible under the sign of righteousness. These literary ministers have always claimed that they are clean. If it hadn't been for your tossing too much, they wouldn't have turned against you. Even if they are angered by you, they will just give you some soft nails. I hope you can stop when it's good and continue to live a stable life.

"But at this time, the second brother saw the contradiction between you. At that time, my father was more optimistic about him than you, and even hoped that his identity as the second brother's legitimate son could offset the doubts of civil servants. Although it didn't work out, it's impossible for the second brother to have no idea in the face of this throne.

"He didn't have the confidence in his heart, but he saw the contradiction between you and Chao Chinese martial arts and felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. At that time, it was me who encouraged him to make him decide to start a mutiny.

"What did you say, is that you?" The emperor's stunned expression was by no means fake, which made the king of Wei a little happy: "Yes, it's me. At that time, with the prestige accumulated during my father's reign, I had already controlled many military generals. I promised to help him at that time and said that I would be an undercover agent for him to find out your news. Before the Zhengdan Dynasty launched a mutiny, he went to my house, and the two of us discussed all the plans. He launched a mutiny, and I stayed with you as an internal response. I also proposed to use bitter meat tricks and ask him to take my wife and daughter as hostages. At that time, I will pretend to be threatened by him and help him open the palace door and deal with each other.

"He agreed without thinking about it, and he was also complacent, thinking that if I didn't obey, I could pretend to do it and threaten my wife and daughter. What he doesn't know is that the Kuntong faction is originally my person. My plan is to let him help me get rid of the chestnut from the fire and bear the charge of killing the king. At that time, I will kill him under the banner of correcting the chaos, so as to suppress the rebellion. In addition, I am also the identity of the prince of the former emperor. As long as I kill your children in the turmoil, the throne Naturally, it's in my pocket, and I don't have to worry about the resistance system of civil and military officials. So I dare to let him send someone to arrest my wife and daughter to calm his heart. Anyway, the person who guards my wife and daughter will obey my orders at that time.

"It's just a pity that I killed a journey halfway, which made me lose a lot. I had to make a plan and let the people of the Kuntong faction retreat. I jumped out at the moment, took the opportunity to kill people, and then got a great success in saving Qingtian.

The emperor's already lowered head suddenly raised it and pointed to the king of Wei and said, "You are so cruel. The king of Chu is also your own brother. You actually sent him to a dead end like this. What a wolf ambition."

"Haha, that's funny." The king of Wei patted his forehead: "I almost forgot that you are a kind-hearted man of Yao Shun. It's just that since you are so kind, why did you insist on killing his whole family after the king of Chu died? You don't even care about the Empress Dowager's plea. He was so sad that he died soon after.

"After the death of the King of Chu, you began to be suspicious. Naturally, my third brother and I were the first to take the brunt. You blamed Man Chao Wenwu. At that time, no one stood up to save him with death, and from then on, he was separated from them. For me, this is an unexpected joy. But you really expect these people to get a chestnut for you. These people, it's okay for them to talk about their lips and die for the king. Are they promising?

"You keep tossing, want to change the law, want to change the system, and constantly intervene in personnel appointment and removal. Although many of my people have suffered, these literary ministers have also lost a lot of fat and shortages. Breaking people's wealth is like killing your parents. Naturally, they are getting more and more unaccustomed to you. From time to time, they hit you with nails and want you to retreat from difficulties.

"This is really God's help to help me. The civilian officials who were not like me were suddenly attracted by you. Now in their eyes, I am a big magic weapon that restricts you and makes you dare not have no scruples. So gradually you will find that these literary ministers seem to have fallen to me, and you have become a lonely family. You begin to worry, be afraid, and even worry about the sky.

"However, you have great righteousness, three principles and five permanents, monarchs and ministers, father and son, this is the rule since ancient times. Thirty years after your accession to the throne, people in the world have long believed that you are the emperor. As long as you don't commit such a great crime, who can do anything to you? Not to mention those civil servants, although they have opposed you in recent years, it is because you have touched their territory. In fact, with their old-fashioned nature and refuse to change, I really want to usurp the throne, and they will definitely make me immortal.

"Thank you for stirring up the wind and rain in the court, making the wind roar and attracting everyone's dissatisfaction. Only then can I get away from Wenchen's vigilance and start to act in a low profile, gather my team, and watch you fight with these civil officials in the court every day. It's really gratifying.

"You - damn it!" The emperor's face gradually turned red. Thinking that he had made such a big mistake for a long time and became the laughing stock of others, his heart was angry, and there seemed to be a fire in his chest, which became more and more fierce and uncontrollable.
