[Rat cat] Long live the emperor

Since knowing that the man behind the scenes was the former emperor's hidden guard, many mysteries that were previously incomprehensible have now finally been touched.The first emperor died too hastily at the beginning, even though Zhao Zhen experienced the palace change personally, he still felt that there was no sense of reality, and even suspected that the culprit behind the scenes was the first emperor.

If not for the first emperor, who else could have quietly established, controlled, and operated such a huge organization in just a dozen years, and even played with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and Zhao Jue who was far away in Xiangyang?Now Zhao Zhen finally figured it out, if this organization used to serve the first emperor, but was later stolen, taken away, and changed hands, then everything would make sense.

In order to find out what the former emperor and the secret guard had to say, Zhao Zhen went back to the palace to press the fat eunuch Fuquan.

The first emperor appeared careless on the surface, but in fact he was suspicious and thoughtful by nature, and he especially liked to dig into dead ends. He was also a complete brain tonic emperor.Fuquan was not controlled by the poison, but he was able to calm down the suspicious late emperor, and just rightly won the trust of the late emperor, which shows that he has some real skills.

Fuquan served the late emperor all his life, and he was a copper-skinned and iron-framed man. He became a shrewd man who took care of himself when he was old, and he was a truly wise man.Zhao Zhen likes to deal with smart people, because smart people don't do stupid things, such as Fuquan, who has an answer at this time...

Fuquan said: "When the late emperor was alive, he trusted the hidden guards far more than the servants. Although the old slave has followed the late emperor for many years, he only had contact with the harem affairs, and he didn't know much about the hidden guards and the outside world." Fuquan paused, " Moreover, the late emperor's character has never been as human as the emperor's." Fuquan hesitated for a moment before saying the word [human touch] in a very emotional tone.

Zhao Zhen blinked: The first emperor's middle-aged Er Que wasn't down-to-earth enough?How much more humane?

Fuquan said slowly: "The former emperor was once the most inconspicuous among the princes of his generation. At that time, everyone in the government and the public knew that the eldest prince Yuan Zuo was extremely intelligent, the second prince Yuan Xi was both civil and military, and the fourth prince Yuan was generous and benevolent. Even Shang Qi The young Baxian King and Xiangyang King can also hear a few smart and sensible praises. Only the first emperor who is still the third prince, is not loved by his father and supported by his courtiers, so life is very unsatisfactory."

Fuquan likes to beat around the bush when he speaks, and it sounds like he is talking about ancient times, but Zhao Zhen still understands what he means.

A person's personality and behavior depend largely on his childhood environment. The late emperor was not valued since he was a child, and he must have suffered a lot of grievances when he lived in the palace where the high and the low. Endure desperately, and of course he will be ashamed after he ascends the throne.

Zhao Zhen clicked his tongue twice in his heart, stretched out his hand to poke Fuquan's fat belly, and urged him to continue talking.

Fuquan said in a vague tone: "At that time, the late emperor was young and full of vigor, and he only wanted to make great efforts to expand the territory and restore the prosperity of all nations. After the late emperor ascended the throne, he made drastic reforms to Shen Ke's old problems, which naturally offended many villains. The officials formed gangs and ganged up with the emperor, but fortunately Empress Liu was smart and quick-witted, and joined forces with Zhang Guozhang of the year to work both ways in the former court and the harem, and wholeheartedly protect the emperor."

Zhao Xiaozhen understood - presumably this was the opportunity for Empress Liu to intervene in the government in the first place. No wonder Liu Guozhang later lost power to the government, and no wonder the former emperor valued Empress Liu so much.

From the standpoint of the emperor, there is nothing wrong with the former emperor's actions, and all emperors did the same.It is estimated that the first emperor's actions were too big, his methods were too tough, and his airs were too high, which caused the courtiers to rebound strongly. Compared with them, Zhao Zhen's methods were much gentler.

Fu Quan sighed: "But later, the Liu family wanted so much that they dared to reach out to the throne..."

We can share weal and woe, but we cannot share blessings. The more you trust a person, the less you can tolerate a little betrayal...

For the first emperor, the Liu family was so powerful that even he could hardly suppress him. Once the son of Empress Liu ascended the throne, the Song family might change their surname to Liu!Even if Mrs. Liu has no disobedience now, what about 20 years later, 30 years later?

The first emperor's worries were not unfounded, but Empress Liu and Liu Guozhang had to think for themselves.

The emperor praised the Liu family so highly, and outsiders only envied the power of the Liu family, but they never saw that behind the pomp they were walking on thin ice.If other princes succeed to the throne, one emperor and one courtier, it doesn't matter if Empress Liu is the mother of the country, how should the son of Empress Liu deal with such a powerful family?What should the Liu family do if they lost the protection of the former emperor?

The Gongdou drama was really wonderful, Zhao Xiaozhen asked doubtfully: "The former emperor you mentioned doesn't seem to be the same person as I know?"

"That's because the emperor suddenly changed his temperament more than ten years ago." Fuquan's expression was a little tangled, "During that time, the emperor was struggling and almost couldn't hold on. Who would have thought that the situation would be reversed overnight. The atmosphere in the morning is no longer Swords were at war, everyone inside and outside the palace was quiet, the courtiers respected and feared the late emperor, and no one dared to blame each other. During that time, it was the most vigorous time in the late emperor's life..."

Fuquan said with emotion: "I thought that the first emperor finally came to the end of his hardships, but suddenly one day, the first emperor rushed back to the palace angrily, dismissed all the palace people, closed the door alone and lost his temper, and missed the morning court the next day. From then on, the late emperor's temperament changed a lot."

Zhao Zhen squinted his eyes and rubbed his chin, "Did you hear any rumors when you were with the late emperor?"

Fuquan quickly shook his head, "I really don't know about this."

Halfway through the story, the most critical part was broken, and Zhao Xiaozhen felt unhappy with puffed up cheeks.He knew that Fuquan hadn't told the truth, the emperor's temperament had changed drastically, there must have been many rumors in the palace, Fuquan was old and cunning, so naturally he refused to speak out unconfirmed messages.

Zhao Zhen pouted, "How much do you know about the former emperor's hidden guard?"

Fuquan grimaced, "All of the late emperor's secret guards are capable people. They are usually eccentric and not good at talking. Except for the late emperor, they seldom interact with us internal servants." Hearing the existence of fear, God knows how the emperor turned the hidden guard into a rabbit?Loves to talk, loves to laugh and loves to be coquettish, fights for favor with red eyes every day, showing a sense of presence in front of the emperor—what about the agreed child Yezi?

Especially that one, Cheng Ying, who can't tell whether it's an enemy or a friend.

Fuquan has seen all kinds of people, and he has never made a mistake in observing his words and deliberations, but he can't understand Zhao Zhen.

The thinking of normal people is [don’t doubt when employing people, don’t use when doubting people], the first emperor was suspicious by nature [doubt when employing people, don’t use when doubting people], Zhao Zhen’s character is even more elusive [doubt when employing people, don’t use when doubting people], false and true True or false, even bystanders can't understand this puzzle.Other people's emperor [sleeping on the side of the couch is not allowed to snore], our Zhao Xiaozhen [sleep casually on the side of the couch, sleep with the enemy]...

Others were worried, but he acted as if nothing had happened, just like the old saying - the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry.

Fuquan slandered secretly in his heart, and Zhao Zhen did not hesitate to inquire about the secret guard. From Fuquan's intermittent narration, Zhao Zhen boldly guessed the truth of the matter—first, the former emperor miscalculated.As a suspicious person by nature, the first emperor doubted anyone but trusted the loyal hidden guards because of [Gu poison].However, there are no absolutes in the world, it was precisely the traitors appeared in the hidden guards, and the first emperor was bitten back by the dog he raised.

As an emperor, you can be incompetent, you can be lustful, but you can't be emotional, emotional is the most fatal weakness of the first emperor!In order to compete with Empress Liu, the first emperor used the Great Song Dynasty as a game board, and secretly supported a huge organization comparable to the "small imperial court". Ruined the century-old foundation of Song Dynasty!

The first emperor stared at Empress Liu wholeheartedly, but he was unaware that there was a hungry wolf lurking beside him.

Before his death, the first emperor had already realized his mistake. He chose to be buried in the sea of ​​flames without leaving any bones.The first emperor died, his body was dried, and the blood that relieved the onset of Gu poison was gone, and the people behind the scenes could not escape death with all their means.Once the people behind the scenes are killed, internal fighting within the organization is bound to start, like a mess of loose sand, no matter how difficult it is!

The first emperor made a big mistake because of his personal affair, he filled half of the hole with his life, and left most of the mess to Zhao Zhen, which he called "Payment of Father's Debt by Son".For some unknown purpose, the old emperor didn't mention a single word before he died, causing Zhao Xiaozhen to take a lot of unjust detours in a daze.

Zhao Xiaozhen gritted her teeth and scolded the former emperor for being a despicable, shameless and self-willed father in vain. Why is it that other people's families are unfilial sons cheating their fathers, while my family is a cheap father who specializes in cheating their sons?The person who was also tricked by the former emperor and had to take his life, and the pitiful and hateful boss behind the scenes.

Zhao Xiaozhen has always felt super good about herself, my young master is not extremely smart, but he can be considered smart and bald!Only this time, I can't figure it out even if I think about it, why are the people behind the scenes risking their lives to death?Pregnant with Liujia...ah no, is it because of the poison in the body?

Besides making him die faster, what are the benefits of forcing the late emperor to death?

(——) Could there be adultery between the two? !Another splash of blood of the year!

In any case, the first emperor was confused and self-willed all his life, and finally saved a little face before he died.

There is a bad father, thanks to Zhao Xiaozhen's optimistic nature, he didn't hang himself by finding a noodle, or was killed by that piece of tofu.After experiencing a car accident—death—the classic passage of crossing, not only did traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty gain knowledge, but also passed the addiction of the emperor, and there is no regret in life anymore.

A person who is indifferent to life and death, what else is there to struggle with.Zhao Xiaozhen always keeps in mind the teaching of the Chinese teacher: there is no use in the world [because...so...] If you can't explain things, there are only three reasons. .Zhao Zhen felt that the current situation was that the time had not yet come.

Zhao Xiaozhen is not short of patience, and now it is the people behind the scenes who are anxious.

When he first came to the throne, the enemy was strong and we were weak, Zhao Xiaozhen stumbled and his eyes were darkened, and he sat down on the crumbling dragon chair in a daze.Is the reversal of the current situation extremely prosperous, and the enemy is weak and we are strong, and we are afraid of a woolen thread?Everything is ready, only the east wind is needed, anchor and sail - wait for the wind to come.
