Chapter 549 A Small Victory
Eunuch Lu thought for a while, "Then the emperor asked General Zhang to investigate. After the investigation, what should we do with it? From the analysis of the emperor, it seems that King Nanhuai was also tricked."
"It doesn't matter, there is always an investigation. Wouldn't it be good for those bows and crossbows to fall into my hands? It doesn't cost a penny." The emperor smiled slowly.
"The emperor originally intended to promote King Nanhuai as a Taiwei..." Eunuch Lu asked hesitantly.
The emperor waved his hand, "No, what happened tonight reminded me that I have indeed been biased recently. If I don't stop it, I will lose my balance. In my opinion, Lao Jiu has done a good job in the position of Taiwei. He keeps going."
Eunuch Lu laughed, "Isn't it? The Night King doesn't mess around anymore, he is more than qualified for the position of Taiwei!"
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Eunuch Lu, "Tell me, have I been too extreme recently?"
Eunuch Lu smiled and said: "The emperor's thoughts and concerns are all for the stability of the country, how can it be called extreme?"
"Jiangshan Sheji, I care a lot. I used to care about brotherhood, but now..." He didn't go on, it's not that he doesn't care, but he always feels in his heart that he doesn't seem to be that important.
In the past, he felt that no one who was in charge of the government would have such courage and wisdom as him. However, it is obvious that Lao Qi can do it, and he is no worse than him. In the past, he had to rely on the help of his ancestors when he became the throne Only by doing this can the hearts of the ministers be stabilized. Now, the old seven is still standing in the face of many dangers, which makes him feel very unsafe.
Seeing that he looked deep in thought, Eunuch Lu didn't dare to make a sound, and stood aside with his head bowed.
After a while, the emperor said: "Lao Ba, give me some warning. This time he is holding King Liang hostage. Someone saw him. If we don't do something, I will lose justice."
"Then, we have to wait for General Zhang to find the bow and crossbow before we deal with it?" Lu Gong said fairly.
"Hmm!" The emperor half-lyed on the imperial concubine's couch, full of thoughts in his heart.
After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Your order is that if the regent recovers from his injuries, he will go to Beimo together. If the emperor of Beimo disagrees, he will send the princess back."
"Your Majesty, why is this?" Eunuch Lu was startled.
The emperor looked up at him, "I'm afraid that Lao Qi has already gotten angry with Qin Zhou and Prince Qi. He left the barracks for this reason. How can he rest assured that Xia Zian will go to Beimo alone? If I don't make this order , he must have to make some troubles, I am tired, I don't want to fight wits with him, he is my own younger brother, and he is dedicated to Da Zhou, maybe I should give him this little thought, and..., Moreover, since he is going to Beimo, he may be able to get in touch with the peace faction in Beimo, and it is best not to fight this war."
Eunuch Lu was a little astonished, "Your Majesty, you still want to assign a task to the Regent?" Doesn't this mean that the Emperor still trusts the Regent?
"Yes, he is my own younger brother from beginning to end. If he has no other intentions, he is also the minister of my big Zhou's humerus. And Xia Lin and Danqing County Lord are in the palace. He should know the seriousness. Besides, there is still Lao Ba in Beijing. Are you holding him back? If he goes to Beimo, if nothing happens, Lao Ba will not sit idly by, and there will inevitably be some disturbances, which will dampen his prestige. If it happens, he will be held accountable for leaving the army without permission crimes, even if the merits and demerits are offset, it will also fail to establish prestige."
Eunuch Lu smiled, "The emperor still has vision."
Eunuch Lu couldn't laugh, his brothers had calculated like this before, and it was a kind of tossing for them who are slaves.
In fact, the talent of the regent is obvious to all, and he is loyal. Nothing will happen if Dazhou has him around, but if the emperor blindly suspects and suppresses it, it will be bad.
Although this time, it seemed that he had followed the regent's wishes, but he might not be able to see the calculation behind it, and if he saw it, he might be disappointed.
General Zhang unfurled a batch of bows and crossbows in the backyard of King Nanhuai.
King Nanhuai was powerless to defend himself, so he could only wait for his fate. It seems that the hexagram was not wrong. It was really a bird that lost his plane and fell into the cage. This time, the emperor can beat him to death for the crime of treason. land.
But Shangqiu is very sure, because this hexagram phenomenon, there is a change of hexagram, the so-called change of hexagram, there is a chance of survival, this chance of survival is the emperor's scheme against his brothers.
Sure enough, the emperor just ordered him to go back to Nanhuai Palace to reflect, and not to intervene in the affairs of the court. As for the matter of bows and crossbows, the emperor did not mention a word in the order. Since he did not mention this, there is no such thing as rebellion. Everything is based on the crime of bullying his nephew.
The emperor didn't even reprimand King Nanhuai face to face, he was directly tied up and returned to the mansion, and the people in his mansion were replaced, all guarded by the imperial army.
The emperor's actions can be advanced, attacked, retreated, or defended. Once Murong Jie and Zi'an return from meritorious service, King Nanhuai will be able to make waves for him after his sins have been redeemed.
The news reached the Regent's House.
Xiao Tuo stomped his feet and said angrily, "We've put in so much effort, and it's just grounding?"
Su Qing unfolded the feather fan, "It's good to be grounded. Do you think we've done it very carefully? The emperor's appointment is obvious. Otherwise, why would he order the prince to accompany him to Beimo? The emperor is not stupid, he is smart. "
Murong Jie looked calm, "Su Qing is right, we didn't plan to kill him immediately, it's good, it's good for everyone."
"It's just," Zhuang Zhuang frowned, "Do you think the emperor will believe that Sun Fang'er really betrayed him?"
"He will believe it," Murong Jie said firmly, "He didn't trust Sun Fang'er very much. When he doesn't trust someone, he will magnify any mistake. If my little aunt is afraid that he won't believe it, how about, Find someone to let the wind out, and say that Lao Ba was poisoned by the Concubine Gui before, but I don’t know who helped him get rid of it in the end.”
Zhuang Zhuang smiled, "Who else can help him? Naturally, it is Sun Fang'er. Under the eyes of the emperor, Sun Fang'er can detoxify the old eighth, so it is not surprising to have contact after that."
"Old Nine!" Murong Jie shouted towards the door, "Where's Ling Li? Has the person changed back?"
"When the emperor was planning against us, he changed it back." The Night King sat at the door and replied.
"Sun Fang'er, are you sure you can't reveal anything?" Zhuang Zhuang asked.
Ye Wang smiled, "Lingli has no other skills, such as making some ecstasy, but her strengths. Although Sun Fang'er is a master of poison, she is not a master of poison, so if the emperor asks her to go tonight Where, she has only one answer, and that is to sleep."
"Who would believe it? The emperor even sent people to look at it. She has gone out." Zhuang Zhuang said with a smile.
"So!" The Night King shrugged.
All the plans for tonight can't be hidden from the emperor.
However, both Ye Wang and Murong Jie are sure that the emperor will not really get to the bottom of it, because there is a problem with Sun Fang'er in the middle. Happened tonight, so, superficially, it was the same thing.
In the same matter, whenever there is a little thing that makes the emperor feel out of control, he will reflect, be alert, and be rigorous.
Sun Fang'er, it's just the little things that are out of control, because she knows everything about the emperor, and the person the emperor fears the most is her.
