A knife in love

Chapter 1132

Zhu Shishi sighed at this point, and then said: "The change of the civil castle, the famous ministers and generals in the court, all died and injured. Although Yu Qian presided over the big plan, but he alone, even if his whole body is iron, can How many nails? There are still many bad people and few good people in the Six Departments. It’s just that the old prince and the previous king knew that Yu Qian was unselfish, and originally hoped that he could uphold justice, so they wrote several letters to Yu Shaobao, asking Yu Shaobao to supervise the Ministry of Rites And the Ministry of Internal Affairs, give names to the late kings as soon as possible. But Yu Shaobao didn't know that we were teased by those dirty officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although the reply was polite, we were told not to exceed our authority, and we had to follow the rules of the court. When the old prince saw the word "Van Wang Lingzhu" mentioned in Yu Shaobao's letter, he was really terrified. Knowing that Yu Shaobao had become suspicious, he never dared to write to Yu Shaobao again. It's just that we give Yu Shaobao I don’t know why the matter of writing the letter was found out by the officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You can think about it, will we have any good fruit?”

Zhu Shishi became more and more angry as he talked, he reached out and slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "The old prince has no choice but to go to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Year after year, a lot of money has been sent out. What waited was a few words of comfort from those officials. After the restoration of Yingzong, because Emperor Jingtai ascended the throne, there was no opposition from the vassal princes everywhere, so he was angry in his heart, and he was picky about us little princes. He made up his mind to cut down the vassal. The old prince was troubled by internal and external troubles. He fell ill and died soon after. The former king had no name. Some stole things from their homes and sold them, and some colluded with each other to sell their land. After a few years, the family became more and more depressed. The previous king could not inherit the throne, so the court's salary and silver would not be distributed. The officials in the Chengdu government office are all snobbish. The villain, after the death of the old prince, knew that the former king had lost power, but he also made plans for the land and property of the prince's mansion. After a few years, the mansion was unable to make ends meet, and the family members also fled one after another.

"By the time the little king was born, the palace had become an empty frame. To say something that offends the ancestors, the king grew up in the palace since he was a child. He didn't understand the world, and he didn't know how to make a living. He could only sit and eat and live a day. One day. Even so, the old man still finds ways to raise money every year to give to those bastards in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs! I hope that one day, the envoys from the capital will bring the names bestowed by the emperor, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be able to use them for decades. The reissue of the arrears of salary relieved the embarrassment of the palace. As a result, I hoped for it day by day, and it became empty every day. Later, even the house of the palace was secretly sold by some uncles..."

When Zhu Shisi said this, he took a drink from his glass, sighed, and said, "Actually, there are not a few vassal kings from all over the country who fall into Xiaowang's field. I heard that the Shandong Yue Palace is also the same as our palace. , the prince and the prince have not been given a name for decades, more than 20 people in the palace starved to death in the mansion. There is also the Lingchuan Palace in Lingnan, which is desperately looking forward to being given a name. Suddenly went crazy, hacked and killed more than ten wives and children overnight, burned the palace himself, and burned to death in the fire. There is also the Suwang Palace that was moved to Huguang. Afterwards, the son was only three years old, and the treacherous servants in the mansion actually killed the son, the princess, and others, divided up the few property in the mansion, and then fled. The local government was negligent in governance, and it was three years later that they realized that there was something wrong, and sent people into the mansion to investigate , but saw that the three-year-old son and concubine had turned into bones, and all the property in the house was empty. My God! This is the fate of the dragon son and grandson left by Emperor Gao of Taizu?! Haha, haha!"

Zhu Shishi stood up while speaking, raised his wine glass with his right hand, and danced wildly in the hall.The wine in the glass spilled out and splashed everywhere.

Seeing this situation, Humpty Humpty, Li Qiufeng and the old man surnamed Huang also felt a little sad.

Zhu Shishi danced and danced for a while, then sat back on the chair with a slumped face, muttering to himself, but couldn't make out what he was saying.Li Qiufeng said: "My lord, you are a little drunk, why don't you take a rest earlier?"

Zhu Shisi waved his hand at him, and said in his mouth: "It's been almost three years. I want to get drunk once, but I'm not afraid of the jokes of the three. I can't even afford alcohol in these three years. I can say a lot when I get drunk today." The words in my heart. These words have been suppressing me for more than ten years, and now I say them heartily, it seems to be a big stone in my heart, how refreshing! How refreshing! Haha, haha."

Li Qiufeng, the fat man and the old man surnamed Huang looked at each other, not knowing how to persuade him, so they could only remain silent.

Zhu Shisi looked crazy, drank three glasses of wine in a row, stood up suddenly, looked at the faces of the short fat man, Li Qiufeng and the old man surnamed Huang, and said word by word: "I I am so envious of the three of you! You are not troubled by the title of Prince Lao Shizi, you can be free and proud of the Jianghu. I will never have this kind of chic in my life. Born in the palace, others will look rich and well-fed, and I will never need it in my life. Working. But I don’t know what nonsense, the sons and grandsons of dragons, who were born as prisoners in shackles. It’s not as good as an ordinary farmer outside the city of Chengdu, who can farm for a day and get a night’s sleep.”

When he said this, he laughed wildly again, and then said: "These words have been pressed in my heart for a long time, but I can't tell others. Today I want to say everything in my heart, lest the big stone in my chest be alive. crush me to death!"

Zhu Shishi put the wine glass back on the table, and looked out from the entrance of the main hall.I saw that the yard was full of weeds, humming in the cold wind.The gate of the palace is mottled and dilapidated, and the walls are full of weeds.Looking around, it was a dilapidated appearance.

Zhu Shisi looked out of the door and said slowly: "When I remember, this yard was considered tidy and there were not so many weeds. There were two people entering the yard on the left and right, and two on the front and back. The former king had nothing to do. He often hugged me, sitting at the gate of this hall, and told me the story of Emperor Taizu Gao. At that time, I was awed by the martial arts of Emperor Taizu Gao, and I also thought that one day, I could gallop on the battlefield like Emperor Gao of Taizu. The power shakes the world. The former king always smiles without saying a word, neither praises nor reprimands.

"Until I was 12 years old, the former king chatted with me in front of this palace one day. When he talked about the change of the civil fort, I didn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and said wildly that if I was in the army back then, I would definitely not let Daming suffer such a disastrous defeat. But this time the late king put on a straight face and stared at me for a long time. Ah, to this day, I still clearly remember the late king’s gaze. He has never looked at me so fiercely. I dare not speak anymore. The former king stared at me for a long time, his eyes gradually softened. Finally he sighed and said to me, you have grown up, and there are some things that should be known to you, so that you don’t know the power of heaven and earth , causing great disasters in the future. I saw the solemn tone of the late king, and knew that what he said must not be a trivial matter. My heart was pounding, and I didn't know what the late king would say.

"It was so gloomy that day. The late king sat in front of the palace gate, looking at the gray sky, and didn't speak for a long time. I stood by, feeling nervous and strange. Then he finally spoke, but what he said was big In the early years of the Song Dynasty, the past of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Taizong Zhao Guangyi. He said that Song Taizu had a benevolent heart. After winning the world, he did three major things to accumulate blessings for future generations. There is an inscription on the wall, telling the Emperor Zhao and Song not to kill the descendants of the Chai family. In the past dynasties, there were very few people who did not kill the royal family of the previous dynasty. Song Taizu's benevolent heart can be said to be rare in ancient times. Second, Song Taizu became the emperor. However, he did not slaughter the heroes, and used the method of "releasing military power with a glass of wine" to remove the military power of generals such as Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide, and treated these veteran generals who fought for him favorably, so that these veterans could die well. The third thing, Even Song Taizu had already seen that Zhao Guangyi was ambitious and wanted to be emperor, but he did not kill his younger brother. Until the shadow of the candle and the sound of the ax left behind the eternal mystery, he did not see any murderous intentions towards Zhao Guangyi. Later generations will talk about it Speaking of Song Taizu, many people said that he was so pedantic that he fell into power and that his sons died inexplicably. They called it "the benevolence of Duke Xiang", which implies irony. Moreover, Song Taizu was very kind to the heroes. But Zhao Guangyi became the emperor, and I didn’t see those heroes standing up to fight for the throne for Song Taizu’s son.”

When Zhu Shishi said this, his eyes came back from outside the hall, and fell on the wine glass in front of him. He sighed and didn't speak for a long time.
