The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1275 It's Late
"Dun'er! Do you feel better these two days?" The queen mother looked at the emperor lying on the dragon bed, her face was full of kindness.

"It's much better. Today I asked Pang Chu to bring the memorial to me for review. It's been several days since I went to court, and if I don't show up again, I'm afraid those courtiers will be suspicious again."

The emperor sighed. Although the toxicity was temporarily suppressed, he obviously felt that his body was much worse than before, and his energy was far less vigorous than before.

"Those lowly slaves have already been cleaned up. It's been too long. It's not easy to find out about poisoning. However, the person who poisoned must be found out, otherwise they can hurt you once, and they can hurt you once." Your second."

When the Queen Mother mentioned this, her teeth itch with hatred.If she wanted to find any reason and remove those unsightly things one by one, she would not have to worry about it all day, and have to beware of this and that.

Since ancient times, when the new emperor ascended the throne, it was time for liquidation.

"Dun'er, the queen mother knows that you are kind. But you have to remember that some people, no matter how soft-hearted you are to them, will not appreciate them. Whenever they get an opportunity, they will pounce on you and bite you."

The queen mother patted the back of the emperor's hand, looked at the worry in the eyes of the emperor, and then persuaded: "Dun'er! It's time, we shouldn't keep them anymore."

The emperor looked up at the queen mother, "Queen mother, haven't you noticed yet? It's late, it's already late!"

Then the emperor rested his head on the pillow, and closed his eyes slightly. In fact, he also regretted it.What is face?Why did he care so much before?

If the emperor had asked him what to do with the third child, he would not have taken care of face and let the third child disappear from this world, he would not be so passive now.

If he hadn't shown mercy to the other brothers and eradicated them one by one, how could he be threatened by "Ruoyin" now?

"How can it be too late? As long as you are ruthless, they can still escape your palm? You are the emperor, the lord of the world, who else in this world can be more honored than you? Dun'er, the queen mother believes in you!"

The queen mother touched the emperor's black hair distressedly. Her son Dun'er was the eldest son, so he should be the best candidate for the crown prince.But who told her not to be liked by the emperor?Life and death hurt Dun'er.

"Queen mother, now that they are full-fledged, it may not be easy to deal with them. Perhaps if they are persecuted, they will be like Zhao Xian, and they will completely tear their skins apart from me. When they deal with me together, how should I deal with it? Don’t rush, just take it one step at a time.”

The emperor sighed, he just felt very tired at the moment.

"But the current situation doesn't allow you to take it one step at a time, Dun'er! Zhao Xian has already begun to capture the border city, if we don't do it again, let Zhao Xian continue, what should we do if we can't stop him?"

The Empress Dowager grabbed the emperor's hand anxiously, Zhao Xian was a serious problem, if Zhao Xian was not fully grown up and eradicated, it might be too late.

"That's why my imperial decree was to deal with Zhao Xian. Looking at the court, apart from the ambitious ones, maybe he is the only one who can deal with Zhao Xian? Empress, I hope you can put aside dealing with him." prejudice, because now we can only count on him. I can't trust anyone else, but he is the only one I can trust."

The emperor looked at the queen mother with pleading eyes, he didn't want to push Gu Chengyu further and further away because of the queen mother's prejudice against Gu Chengyu.

He has been unwell for the past few days and has been lingering on the sick bed, so he has time to think about his future plans.

He reflected on his previous attitude towards Gu Chengyu, and suddenly found that Gu Chengyu's attitude towards him was somewhat unclear.Let's start with Gu Chengyu's performance when his father was alive, now Gu Chengyu's attitude is far less positive than before.

At that time, the emperor supported Gu Chengyu, although he wanted to fight against Xia Qing.But the emperor never doubted Gu Chengyu's ability, and after dispatching an errand, he gave Gu Chengyu absolute trust.

Therefore, compared with his father, he is still far behind in terms of commanding talents.

Gu Chengyu's indifference to him should be due to distrust of him.Perhaps before, I often listened to the slander of other people in the court, which made Gu Chengyu feel alienated from himself.

Thinking about it now, he really broke out in a cold sweat. He was so indifferent to Gu Chengyu before, but he knew that the fourth child and the others absolutely valued Gu Chengyu.If they recruited Gu Chengyu privately and Gu Chengyu formed an alliance with them, the consequences would be disastrous.

The queen mother was silent for a while, before she said: "Dun'er, Gu Chengyu is indeed a capable person. But I see that he is young, but he is very scheming, and it is really difficult to control him. How do you know that he will not betray you? I can see On the surface, he has a clear personality, but in his heart he attaches great importance to power."

The queen mother really didn't have a good impression of Gu Chengyu, she always felt that this young man was too thoughtful, and she was afraid that Dun'er would not be able to subdue him.

"Queen, do we have any other choice now? Looking at the court, who else can compare with him? He is a person who values ​​affection and loyalty. As long as you treat each other with sincerity, he will never let you down. Maybe he is not that kind A moralist who pays attention to helping justice, but he is definitely a loyal man who will do anything for the people he cares about. He chose me at the beginning, and as long as I don’t go too far, he will not change his original intention easily.”

This is the conclusion he came to after thinking hard for the past few days.

"Dun'er! The queen mother knows that you are in a difficult situation, if your father is the emperor." The queen mother took up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes. She just felt sorry for her Dun'er.

"Mother, you often say that the father is a decisive person, but the son is like you, easily soft-hearted, and often indecisive. But the son thinks that the father and the son actually have many similarities in temperament. Doesn't the father not Is he indecisive? If he hadn’t been indecisive and gave us princes hope, how could the court be in the current situation?”

Speaking of this, the emperor still complained a little.The emperor's father passed away, leaving behind a big mess.

"Isn't your father doing this because he couldn't forget that bitch?" Speaking of the first emperor, the empress dowager became emotional.

"Why do you think your father didn't choose the crown prince for so long? Was it because that bitch's son had fetal poison? He waited for so many years, just waiting for the fourth child to recover. It's a pity that the fourth child is not up to date. Your father Even thinking about it is useless. How many precious medicinal materials and rare treasures in the palace have he sent to the fourth child over the years?"

The emperor looked at the empress dowager with a ferocious expression, and was speechless for a while.

It seems that the empress mother is still brooding over the events of the past, maybe that woman has always been a wound in the empress mother's heart, and it will bleed when poked, and it will never heal.

He also saw that woman when he was a child. Although his appearance was blurred now, he still remembered that she was a gentle and beautiful woman.
