Are you stupid?

Chapter 48 Benevolence and Cruelty [VIP]

The Great Zhou Dynasty was not like the previous dynasty. Before the princes reached adulthood, they were guarded so that they were not allowed to step out of the palace gate.It is not a secret that the classics brought the prince out of the palace with the prince's micro clothes. Some old officials even heard the news of the prince leaving the palace, and even changed their clothes to wander around where they guessed that the prince might appear, wanting to have a fateful match with the little prince. Let's meet again and see for ourselves what the little prince looks like.

When horses trampled on customers in the market, and Jingzhao sent troops from the City Patrol Division to maintain law and order, the well-informed and quick-witted courtiers all guessed where the prince went after leaving the palace.It's just that in the place where the horses are sold, it is inevitable that the horses will be angered and accidents will happen. They just laughed it off and never thought about it.

It wasn't until after the incident that the crown prince sent a group of Hu slaves to Gu's mansion and asked Gu Jian to help him investigate the inside story, that many of the courtiers broke out in a cold sweat.

——If there are no problems, the first thing the prince should do after encountering danger is to go back to the palace to summon the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment. Both Weifu and Jingzhao called to discuss matters.

If there is nothing tricky in it, who would believe it?

The crown prince never tried to cover up his actions, so Gu Jian didn't do any tricks to cover up.

Therefore, among the courtiers, all the courtiers who should know and want to know if the prince encountered any "accident" all focused their attention on the door of Gu's house.No matter day or night, you can always see people with money trying to bribe Gu's housemaid for information.As a result, Gu Jian had no choice but to gather all the servants in the mansion together, repeatedly emphasizing that he would never reveal a single word to people outside the mansion, and even cut off the tongues of two servants who dared to talk nonsense outside the mansion, and sold them out. Only when he fell, did he stop the sudden unhealthy tendencies.

But the people who came to inquire about the news originally thought that they could not get the real content—whose house is not a mansion with few entrances, surrounded by many courtyards and servants, the servants such as the porter who can contact outsiders must not hear any news It turns out that the real purpose of them bribing Gu's housewife with a lot of money is to test Gu's family's attitude.

When Gu Jian severely punished the servants who stretched out their hands, they had already achieved the purpose of temptation.

There must be an extremely serious problem hidden behind the danger that the prince encountered, which made the Gu family so cautious.

The courtiers who inquired about the news overtly and secretly stopped their flags and drums, waiting eagerly for how the court would handle the matter behind it.

But Emperor Taixing seemed as if nothing had happened. He had to eat, drink, and play for several days, but he didn't respond at all. Even the prince hid to "recover his illness".

This made several officials involved in the investigation of the attack on the prince feel a strong political crisis.

If it wasn't for the rift between His Majesty and the Crown Prince, and the incident became known to everyone, why not deal with it?

This is the most important reason why the old ministers insisted on entering the palace and pressured Emperor Taixing to come to Chengqing Hall to visit him under the pretext of "why doesn't His Majesty visit the prince because of his illness".

They could clearly see the stiff attitude between Emperor Taixing and the crown prince, and the crown prince behaved obediently and obediently. They thought that the crown prince had been raised by Empress Cui for too many years in the harem, and his temper had long since worn out, and he had no aggressiveness or talent. ;I don't want the crown prince to change the situation after a few words. On the surface, he is arrogant and arrogant, but in fact every word pushes Emperor Taixing to give him a better future.

——Emperor Taixing was probably dumbfounded by Mu Huaiyuan's face, forgetting that none of the six companions recommended by the classics was a fuel-efficient lamp, so he dared to accept the bet of promising an official position.

This kind of gamble...

Hey, I should go to Anping Dachang Princess's mansion to walk around more when I have time, and ask Mu Huaiyuan if there is any type of girl he likes.This kind of young man with great talent, protected by the prince, and without a family is simply the dream son-in-law candidate of every high school.

Then again, when Zhou Ji spoke out to test the prince, he was thinking of testing him, but the prince said everything, which forced Zhou Ji to the point where he had to express his opinion.

——After listening to the secret, if you don't express your opinion, you will be expelled by various forces.

After listening to the prince's words, Zhou Ji, relying on his advanced age, silently twirled a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth to chew slowly, delaying time.

He understood what the prince meant. It was nothing more than that the prince knew very well that there must have been the dishonest king Lu who was involved in the previous dynasty, but there was also one or several masters in the harem waiting to dig down the corner of his east palace and remove the prince from his position. Pushed up and down, but His Majesty knew everything but pretended to be deaf and dumb, no matter what, he forced him to pretend to be sick and recuperate, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the prince and intended to resist.

Even if the clay figurine still has three parts earthy nature, anyone who encounters this kind of thing will definitely be angry.

Zhou Ji fully understands that the crown prince is displeased with His Majesty's attitude, but the problem is, now that the crown prince has spread the matter in front of them, the old ministers - what should they do?

It is not impossible to persuade the prince to be filial to His Majesty, and it is not impossible to endure this time, but the monarch and his ministers all choose each other. They came to test the prince, and the prince gave a beautiful answer. Now it is the prince's turn to throw them the test questions. The decades-old veteran of the court wants the prince to be a coward instead?

Don't talk about shrinking back, even if they don't do well in a little bit, they can't show their ability.

Of course, Zhou Ji and other veterans could not think of a better way than "persuading the prince to be filial to His Majesty and endure the anger for a while". The method that may make the prince feel comfortable will definitely make Emperor Taixing feel uncomfortable.Once Emperor Taixing sits on the dragon chair for another ten or eight years, the younger brothers under the crown prince will all grow up and take up positions in the imperial court. At that time, the situation facing the crown prince will definitely be more severe.

Since ancient times, there are not many princes who can inherit the great line, and most of them were lost in the long lives of the "fathers".

Is it worthwhile for them to offend the young and powerful Emperor Taixing for the prince?

The moment this question came up, Zhou Ji had the answer in his mind.

Of course, he would rather take risks with the clear-headed prince than Taixing Emperor to live a long life, otherwise he would not be able to live a long life thinking of the bastard things that Taixing Emperor has caused all these years in power.But before making a statement, Zhou Ji needs to make sure that the prince has the ability to stabilize Emperor Taixing and prevent His Majesty from seeing other children and deposing him.

The small piece of snack in his mouth was completely chewed up before he swallowed it. Zhou Ji said slowly: "Your Highness, since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, three generations of emperors have suffered from the tyranny of their brothers. Today, Your Highness is in this difficult situation again, and His Majesty does not want to This kind of disaster has happened again. How does His Highness plan to treat the children born to concubines in the harem in the future?"

"My mother has never treated any of my brothers and sisters badly." Shenlong replied holding a tea bowl, with a friendly smile on his face, but a bit of regret in his eyes, "After I recovered from my illness, I asked my mother's brothers why they didn't study with me. At that time, the empress mother told me that it was not convenient for me to be together because of my illness, but the palace teacher Xishan and the emperor's teachers are indeed the same group, so I don't have to worry about it."

"The queen mother treats my brothers kindly, so I naturally have to learn from the queen mother and not waste her years of painstaking efforts."

Zhou Ji: "..."

The prince's answer is really too insincere.

Empress Cui treated the concubines and concubines kindly, that was to make them less aware of the superiority and inferiority, so that they could be cultivated into stupid gentlemen, so as not to think about what they shouldn't, and to cause trouble for their own sons.It’s okay for the prince to follow Empress Cui’s actions now, but what about five or ten years later?Is it necessary to let his younger brothers continue to marry and have children in the palace, and then take the children to study together?

"Parents' beloved son has far-reaching plans. An elder brother is like a father. Your Highness might as well think about what will happen in a few years later." Zhou Ji turned his wrinkled old face, looked at Shenlong solemnly, and waited for him to give a suitable answer. answer.

"I have been ill for many years, and I missed the growth of your virtuous younger brothers. I regret in my heart. I hope that when the younger brothers become adults, I will advise my father to keep them in Beijing, so that they will not be displaced, and they will not have to live in poverty in remote areas."

Shenlong's eyes are clear and righteous, and his words are strict, like a moral example for the world, but after Zhou Ji heard his plan, he was so excited that he just wanted to throw his walking stick to the ground.

Wonderful!

There have been three generations in a row in Dazhou, and the princes who left the capital were not honest. They all wanted to do something and then returned to the capital to make dragon chairs.In the final analysis, isn't it because they have a fief that they can mint money and sell salt and iron in the fief?As long as everyone is left in the capital and settled properly, what about whether there is a fiefdom or not, even if this group of young princes who have never been in contact with specific general affairs want to intervene, they will not understand the operation process.

Of course, the premise is that when there are princes with bad intentions in Beijing, the emperor can hold back his nausea and not drop them with a knife.

Shenlong smiled and continued, "As for Xingye, I want to keep him in the palace for the rest of his life. It is not as convenient to diagnose and treat outside the palace as it is inside the palace. The medicinal materials in the palace are also complete. You don't have to pay for the medicine by Xingye, and it is also convenient for the queen mother." Go and visit him. Most importantly, so that nothing disturbs his peace."

A light sigh floated in the hall, "Xingye is not young, and he has always had great ambitions and wanted to do something big. I'm afraid that if he goes out of the palace, he will be used by those villains who are good at flattery, and find a woman to give him to him." He prescribes meat—the imperial physician clearly said that Xingye must not suffer from housing labor, otherwise his life will hang by a thread."

"The grand master thinks that my arrangement is appropriate?"

If this method is not appropriate, then there is nothing wrong with it.

In the arrangement of the prince, as long as the princes are not evil-minded, they can enjoy the glory and glory in the capital all their lives, which will indeed save a lot of troubles, and they can enter the palace at any time if they have difficulties, and go straight to heaven; With the fiefdom of weapons, his group of brothers would have no foundation to support their ambitions, and they would be less likely to make trouble for him.

The method can be described as a combination of benevolence and cruelty.

"Your Highness is indeed smart." Zhou Ji was completely relieved.

He finally showed his attitude, "The matter of His Highness's attack was not handled behind his back, and the officials in the court each had their own speculations. It was only because of His Majesty's ambiguous attitude that he never said anything. Now, find a censor to sue Jing Zhao who sent someone to deal with the horse stampede incident for his inaction, and force Jing Zhao to explain the matter, and then he can continue to pull out everything."

"It's just that your highness has to think about it. You've hurt your majesty's face by doing this."

"When your majesty is hurt by someone, he loves the person who hurt him afterwards. His majesty has nothing to rely on except his title as prince, so he is vulnerable in front of his majesty."

Shenlong looked back calmly, "The grand master just arranges the censor to sue Jingzhao after King Lu enters Beijing, and I will arrange other things myself."

A villain has the usage of a villain, isn't Zhang Xi just waiting to show his ability to slander in front of him?Just give him a chance.

This time, not only can he escape unscathed, but if he is lucky, he can also find out all the people hiding behind the scenes.

The author has something to say:

Bang Bang Bang, thank you little angel for actively subscribing.Because everyone is here, I broke through the siege by subscribing (in fact, an average of 800 subscriptions is really not high, it’s just that there are fewer articles on the same list as me), and this issue of the list has changed my fate against the sky. .There is no other way to thank everyone, today is the third update, and the last update is still in the middle of the night, love you all!

Gaomen's goal of choosing a son-in-law - high talent, no father and no mother.

Shenlong: Wow, Mu Huaiyuan, you are the ideal type!

Mu Huaiyuan: Nothing wrong [Looking at Shenlong]

There is a problem in the palace today, so I just want to say a few words.

The houses of the poor in ancient times were built in various shapes, and they are not representative, so I will skip them.

Wealthy households among the common people will surround the main house, side house, livestock house, and firewood house, and build the yellow mud or thatched house into a masonry structure.

The houses of high-ranking and wealthy families present a pattern of back characters, with one layer inside the other, and each floor has a complete architectural structure, which is the common "several yards" when people read novels.

The imperial palace is the ultimate layer upon layer, and the status of the palace on the central axis is the most noble, all of which belong to the emperor's residence.

Regarding the first part, I said that Shenlong lived in the main hall of the dormitory, and the companions lived in two rows of row suites outside the main hall. In fact, the area occupied by Shenlong was about 30 rooms. The distance of more than ten meters outside the suite is the room of the accompanying readers.

This is why it is said that after the palace people came in and out, the accompanying readers heard the movement and speculated what might have happened inside.

There is nothing comparable to living in a villa of tens of square meters or a maximum of [-] square meters.
