fake prince

Chapter 321 Overwhelmed by the Sky

A young eunuch saw the papers scattered on the ground, kneeled and crawled over to clean it up, but was suddenly kicked down by the emperor who didn't know when he got up and came over.

"I didn't tell you to clean up, how dare you be so presumptuous?"

The little eunuch was trembling with fright, and was about to kowtow to beg for mercy, but Eunuch Zhao gave him a silent reminder to roll aside with a glare.

The little eunuch hurriedly swallowed back the begging that was about to blurt, and quietly knelt and crawled back to one side.

The emperor, who was caught in some kind of memory, really didn't pay much attention to it.

Rather than saying that what he said just now was scolding the little eunuch, it would be better to say that he was talking to himself.

He has long passed the age of knowing the fate, but deep down in the emperor's heart, he is not convinced. Looking at the palace, it is not easy for him to win the big position. It can be said that he has worked hard, tried his best, and even won his life. .

Tasting the great position for the first time, with a shake of the ink pen, life and death are in the hands of the high and the low, and there is an imperial edict issued, the world's situation changes, it really makes the newly enthroned self unable to sleep at night.

In front of the emperor's eyes, it seemed that the Qingjun figure who had been with him for many years appeared again, against the light, he said to himself: "Your Majesty, since you have asked, I will not hide it anymore. You... only have three years of imperial orders. .”

Three years of emperor's mandate... It's not that there are only three years left in life, but that the time to be emperor is only three years.

If he abdicates in time and gives way to the prince, then he can still be the Supreme Emperor, continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, and continue to live.

But he still has to occupy the dragon chair. Once three years come, either a sudden serious illness makes him have to retire, or something happens that makes him have to let go of his grip on power.

The emperor at that time, when he heard this, was immediately furious, but followed by an uncontrollable fear.

Yes, fear.

That kind of feeling, he never thought, would reappear after becoming an emperor, and made him toss and turn, unable to sleep at night.

Taizu is certainly a hero, but there is too little time for the world to be peaceful, and he only reigned for 11 years.

This is a very dangerous number.

The frontier has not yet been cleared, and the generals in the country have not been cut off. If he is only three years old, what will the ruling and opposition think of Dazheng?

In the past dynasties, at the beginning of the founding of the country, they had to have two or three decades of active rulers to be considered stable. If he had only been virtuous for only three years, or a prince who was too virtuous, would he be able to secure the throne, or would he lose power?

Moreover, I am not a mediocre king!

The emperor considered himself the most talented of the Taizu's sons. Once the power is in his hands, it is more painful to let it go than not to get it.

Therefore, the adult and well-known prince conspired against him.

Then, Xiao Huaihui was bestowed with death.

What's more, the divorce of the loving couple for many years made him heartbroken and helpless.

If you give the emperor another chance to come back, will you still do it?

The emperor didn't move at all. In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that the person is pitifully thin, his face is wrinkled and motionless, telling the emperor's life's troubles and achievements.

In December of the first year of Chengshou, Murong Jing rebelled, was put down, and his family was wiped out.

In March of the second year of Chengshou, the state of Changchang and its king were captured and offered as captives in the Taimiao, and the emperor ordered him to perform dances in the court hall.

In December of the third year of Chengshou, Luo Shun, the Duke of Wei, was given to death, and hundreds of men and women of his clan were exiled.

In the first month of the fifth year of Chengshou, Zhang Zhongwu, the governor of Dazheng, sent troops to break through the Western Regions, burned [-] tents, killed Khan, passed on the first capital, and took [-] sheep and cattle, and stored [-] vehicles to present victory. capital

In March of the seventh year of Chengshou, ten surnames from the Western Regions came to descend

In July of the 11th year of Chengshou, the state of Xu was destroyed

At this time, apart from the grasslands, there are still Fang and Xianbu, and there is still Linguo in the southwest. It can be said that the sky is overwhelmed, and all the ministers belong to it. How many layouts, how many plans, how many decisive killings.

"Long live!" Eunuch Zhao yelled softly. Seeing that the emperor didn't respond, he took another step forward cautiously: "Long live, you have been standing for a long time, please rest and take care of your dragon body."

The emperor's Adam's apple twitched, he opened his eyes and looked around, and couldn't help but sigh again.

"Huaihui, don't blame me."

"I was also bewitched and deceived by the demon."

"Furthermore, I am sorry for Fu'er, but I am right for Dazheng. The Zhou border has been cleared, and the generals will be cut off. Dazheng Emperor is as stable as Mount Tai, and will not perish for three generations."

With such a mood, the emperor felt sorrow in his heart. He only felt bitter and astringent in his mouth. He ignored Eunuch Zhao's words. He picked up a copy scattered on the ground and opened it to look at it.

Although Eunuch Zhao was silent, he focused all his attention on the emperor, and his eyelids twitched at this moment.

Before these books were sent to the emperor, they passed through the hands of the chief eunuch.

No one knows the contents of these notebooks better than him, without them, they are all about Su Ziji.

I don't know if it's because the two kings of Qi and Shu have finally learned the tricks this time, or if the king of Lu jumped up again, and the lurking people did the opposite. Feel that there is no truth.

Everything else is to praise the emperor first, and then praise Su Ziji as a flower.

Young talents, all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and unparalleled wisdom and bravery are all used. It is even proposed to give Su Zi real power so that he can enter the officialdom as soon as possible, so that he can show his ambition and talent.

Eunuch Zhao secretly sneered, although this was the opposite of flattery, but he was still careless, the emperor has been in power for 18 years, why hasn't he seen it?

If you really belong to Su Zi, how could you say such a thing?

I hope he can enter the officialdom as soon as possible and show off his ambitions?

The examination is coming soon, and with Su Zi's talent, a Jinshi can't escape, and he needs to be directly appointed as an official, cutting off the right path of imperial examination to become an official?

It's just some low-level officials who are treated as pawns. They don't know anything, so they think they can use this to please their masters.

Little did he know that the emperor's most taboo was actually trying to challenge his own authority.

But I have to say that even if you kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, it does have some effect.

Seeing the coldness on the emperor's face, Eunuch Zhao sighed inwardly.

The emperor read several copies, threw them all on the ground, and smiled coldly.

"You keep an eye on the matter of the imperial examination. I don't allow anyone, including a few traitors, to intervene in this matter."

"There is also Su Ziji, his paper, hand it in when the time comes, and I will personally review it."

"By the way, after the palace test, let's test his blood again, understand?" the emperor said solemnly.

"Yes, this old slave will definitely handle this errand well." Eunuch Zhao bent down, but said yes, thinking in his heart: "Up to now, the test has been done more than once, Your Majesty still has a trace of doubt?"

But no matter how many tests, as long as the emperor ordered, he could only do it.

Watching him step back and gradually go away, the emperor waved his hand and made people clean up the papers on the ground.

After a while, he said again: "Come here."

"The servant is here." Someone came out of the dark and knelt down.

"I want to see Bianxuan, please invite him into the palace." The emperor said slowly, as if he was furious half a month ago, he was not the one who scolded Bianxuan for closing the temple and thinking about his mistakes.

"According to the order."
