Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 1491 Those things about ancestors 6.0
"Where did you see it?" Shen Haolin pretended not to hear Shen Cha's helpless sigh, but smiled slightly, opened the book, pointed to a page, and asked, "Is it here? Or behind?"

"Let me take a look, turn it back again, ah, it's here." Shen Cha nodded, "I saw this, Senior Xue Jin is going to Beijing to take the provincial and imperial examinations."

"Provincial examination and palace examination..." Shen Haolin thought for a while, "With his level, there is no problem at all."

"That's right." Shen Cha nodded, "He probably thought so too, brother, look at his little note beside him, saying that he had only one idea at the time, to get a good grade in the exam and try to stay in Xi'an. Beijing, stay with this ambitious new emperor who has just ascended the throne. He said that he firmly believed at that time that the new emperor needs new strength to fight against those inherent forces. If the new emperor needs it, he can do that. The knife of power." She sighed helplessly, "Senior Xue in his youth was really a bit whimsical!"

"Isn't whimsy the only right of youth? Unconstrained fantasies and the pursuit of one's own good wishes are only produced at this time. Once hit by reality, this will will gradually be worn away."

"Brother is right." Shen Cha nodded, "Looking at the group of kids who come here every year, they all feel that they are very powerful, that their abilities must be useful at the border, that they will definitely do something and make a difference Heaven and Earth. Every time I look at those children, I always feel envious of them."

"There's nothing to envy, and..." Shen Haolin reached out and squeezed Shen Cha's face, "I'm still a child, and I keep saying that others are children, don't you feel guilty?"

"There's nothing to be guilty of. It doesn't matter how old you are to experience this thing."

"It's true, those children were crying and wiping away their tears after being tossed about casually by you, and they were still thinking of making meritorious deeds. It's full of tears when they talk about it!" Shen Haolin turned a page and quickly read the contents inside, "Actually, Senior Xue's idea cannot be said to be ignorant of the heights of the heavens and the earth. His ability, if he meets a Mingjun, can really give him room to play. Unfortunately, he met the last emperor, the last emperor. He has heard of it. There are many rumors about him, whether they are true or not, there is one thing that is accurate."

"Small-minded, remember to hate others, and you will get revenge."

"That's right." Shen Haolin nodded, "This kind of emperor will often be a dead dog, and will not miss the old love at all."

"Brother is right. Even if such an emperor has a new atmosphere, it will only be short-lived. In his bones, he is violent, and he can only become a tyrant in the end."

"The last emperor does not have this chance to become a tyrant. After all, he is not in good health and his luck is not very good. But..." Shen Haolin thought for a while, "In the few years when he first came to the throne, he actually made a lot of efforts to save him. That decadent court, unfortunately, did not succeed."

"Because he is too eager for quick success, I don't know why, I always feel that his impatience is very strange."

"It's really strange." Shen Haolin nodded, "You see, after Song Jue ascended the throne, he also made a few big moves, but they were all carried out step by step and did not receive many obstacles. But this last emperor was ruthless from the very beginning. If this power is not in his hands for a day, he will not be at ease, a little..." He thought about his choice of words, "meaning that he will die in peace."

"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded, "My brother and I feel like I just glanced at him, and I always feel that he knows he won't live long, so that's why he's in such a hurry."

"Judging from the records we have seen related to the last emperor, the last emperor's health is indeed not good, but it is not so short of life." Shen Haolin thought for a while, "Actually, he should have seen One of the biggest problems of the previous dynasty, and the biggest disadvantage that hindered or destroyed the entire court, was the existence of those wealthy families and honorable families who held great power and controlled the lifeline of the entire court. In the eyes of the last emperor, these wealthy families If the aristocratic family and nobles are not eliminated for a day, the royal family can only become their decoration. Therefore, he must take the power back from these forces and completely hold it in his own hands before he can do what he wants to do. "

"The direction is actually right. For the last period of the previous dynasty, the existence of wealthy families and nobles had already had a serious impact on the court, and it was a very big disaster and hidden danger. Later facts proved that , this judgment is not wrong.”

"It's just that the last emperor's methods are too radical and violent, and he can't get on the stage. Many wealthy families, nobles, and the Qingliu among the civil servants all look down on him. Don't look at him as the emperor, the emperor, these people He is respectful on the surface, but he is very dismissive of him behind the scenes, and doesn’t take him seriously at all.”

"Brother's evaluation is a bit too polite. Those wealthy families, nobles, and literati are not only dismissive, but even..." Shen Cha thought for a while, "I feel that it is a great misfortune for me to have such an emperor. , especially unlucky."

"There is such a thing?" Shen Haolin frowned slightly, "Why?"

"Because of my birth, didn't I hear a lot of stories when I was recuperating and laying bored? The master told me about the last emperor, and it was embarrassing to say, a man who came to this world by accident child, a child who was not expected at all."

"How to say?"

"The biological mother of the last emperor is actually a court lady who is in charge of meals in Emperor Hui's empress palace. According to folklore, Emperor Hui once drank too much in the empress palace and forced the biological mother of the last emperor. Emperor. However, Emperor Hui felt that the child was an accident, and because of this child, there was some discord with the queen, and the relationship faded, so he blamed the emperor and the mother of the emperor. The queen was right This poor person is very kind, and she specially found a house with a good environment in her own palace for her to raise her baby, but after the baby was born, the maid also died of dystocia." Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin, "As for Whether this is really a dystocia, no one knows. Because the poor last emperor was born without a mother, and the empress was responsible for raising her."

"The queen was in charge of raising her, so her background is pretty good, right?" Shen Haolin frowned slightly, "What happened afterwards?"

"Brother is wise, because the empress passed away a year later, and then there were rumors in the palace, and even in the entire Xijing City, that the child was unknown, and he killed his biological mother and the empress. Emperor Hui wanted not to be caught by this When his son died, he was thrown into the care of the palace people. The palace assigned to him was also like a cold palace. It was barren and dilapidated. Those people in the palace had always praised the high and trampled the low, knowing that the prince was being favored. If the emperor despises it, don't treat him as a serious master, anyway, it is not easy for the last emperor to grow up smoothly."

"I'll know what happened later." Shen Haolin nodded, "Because his brothers were all dead, Emperor Hui left him the throne, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sit in that chair."

"That's right." Shen Cha sighed, "What happened to him in the cold palace, what kind of temperament he developed, whether his brothers really died normally, no one dares to say, but the civil and military officials in the court Most of the officials are not convinced, and it is true that they despise him." She sneered, "Speaking of which, that grand master had a good vision, and married his daughter to him when everyone was avoiding the last emperor. he."
