Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 463
"Before he ascended the throne, the first emperor was very close to Duanyang King and Zhen Guogong, each a good younger brother. But after boarding the plane, he revealed his true colors."

Su Yizhao nodded, there were still two people in use at that time, so of course he should be more polite.After the world is settled down, these two people will be of little use, right?
"Beside the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly? After the world was settled, the two men with military power became the target of public criticism. Some officials impeached them, saying that the two of them supported the army with self-respect, which was not conducive to stabilizing the court."

To bring peace to the world and confiscate military power, this is what every emperor will do after he ascends the throne.

Because they are afraid, afraid that someone will rebel against them.How the country came, is afraid of how it was lost.

"However, there were frequent border wars back then, and those small countries outside the customs were naturally ready to move when they saw the civil strife in the previous dynasty, so they urgently needed to send heavy troops to suppress it."

"So the first emperor ordered King Duanyang to send troops to guard it?" Su Yizhao picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

"Yes! Back then, the Duke had handed over part of his military power, and then felt that border wars were happening frequently, and the people at the border were suffering, so he wanted to lead his troops there."

"It just so happened that many of the soldiers who went to the border were his former troops. He thought that since he stayed in the capital and the late emperor had suspicions about him, it would be better to let him go to the border and feel at ease."

"Why did the first emperor agree to his going? If it was at the border, the first emperor would feel that he could not control it even more." Su Yizhao sneered.

Dou Jun nodded, "That's true. He went to the imperial study to recommend himself, but the late emperor refused because he wanted to protect Beijing. After the Duke came back and thought it over, he went to court the next day and handed over his military power."

"As long as he holds the military power for a day, the first emperor will fear him. Emperors are always suspicious."

Su Yizhao thinks it is common sense to be suspicious, but it is not enough to favor one another.

Especially under the background of King Duanyang, the first emperor had no trust in Zhen Guogong.

Thinking back, if Lord Zhen Guo really wanted to grab the throne, it would not be the late Emperor's turn.

"That's right! The emperor is suspicious, and the Duke is not incomprehensible. So he handed over his military power, thinking that the late emperor could rest easy from now on, and he would not be so suspicious of him anymore." Dou Jun sighed.

"The fact is true. During that time, the first emperor treated Zhen Guogong fairly. Because Zhen Guogong abandoned martial arts and followed literature, he was given a civil position and appointed him Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

"Something must have happened after that, right?" Su Yizhao felt that both parties were satisfied at this point, so what else could be worth the two being ruthless?
Even though Lord Zhen was a little bit aggrieved, he was under the roof at that time, so he had to compromise!
"But the first emperor is really small-minded. He can only say that the official documents of the state can rejuvenate the country, and the military can stabilize the country. He is too talented. Even if he is a writer, he can do a great job."

In Dou Jun's words, he admired Lord Zhen Guo so much. In the words of Su Yizhao's previous life, he is an idol.

Su Yizhao suddenly realized, "But those legal reforms?"

"Hmm! Lord Zhen became famous again, and the civil servants who looked down on him at the beginning all looked at him differently, and he was in the limelight for a while."

have to!Did this arouse the suspicion of the late emperor again?

"Duke Zhen offered advice to the court many times, but afterward the merits of the previous emperor were given to others. As time went on, all the ministers in the court saw the clues and did not respect Duke Zhen.

Duke Zhen was also a little disheartened. He was originally ambitious to serve the people, but he ended up like this. "

Why was the first emperor so narrow-minded?Duke Zhen has already become a civil servant, but if you still hold on to him, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by those courtiers?

Su Yizhao really doesn't understand, there are many capable people in the past dynasties, but the emperors don't care about those people!Some even have to be reused!

"I talked with Lord Zhen at night by candlelight. The two chatted happily. During the meeting, Lord Zhen revealed the truth. He said that he did not expect that righteous brother who took good care of him at the beginning to become so thorough? Blame him for not knowing people back then. Qing, there is some regret in the words."

"Aren't you afraid that walls have ears when you tell the truth after drinking?"

Su Yizhao felt that this remark was inappropriate, but at that time, Lord Zhen should have been quite upset, and there was no one to talk about the depression in his heart, right?

Dou Jun glanced at Su Yizhao, "You can guess it every time!"

"The first emperor planted spies in Duke Zhen's mansion back then. When this word reached his ears, he became even more suspicious of Duke Zhen. Later, Duke Zhen had an official position and title, but he had nothing to do. He was not asked to interfere with the court. He also thought about the Chinese affairs, and decided to resign and take his family to live in the ancestral land for a few years."

"In this case, does the late emperor still suspect him? There is no way to retreat!"

Su Yizhao was a little angry. This was completely a concession to the limit. The late emperor was still not satisfied?

"Yes, there is no way to retreat. Back then, the late emperor suspected that Duke Zhen regretted giving up his position as leader. Facts have proved that Duke Zhen regretted it later, but it was all forced by the late emperor. Kill them all, and don't allow others to resist? ?”

Dou Jun slammed his fist on the high table, and said heartbrokenly: "The Duke of Zhen has already planned to return to his ancestral home, but those treacherous ministers, in order to please the late emperor, counted it as the Duke of Zhen's residence."

"Duke Zhen was about to leave, and those old ministries who followed him came to see him off. That day, the Duke's mansion set up practice wine to bid farewell. But those thieves said that the Duke was going to call the old ministries to rebel. The Duke heard the rumors , suddenly angry and anxious, sick."

"Because he stayed in the capital to recuperate, the late emperor feared him even more, didn't he?"

Su Yizhao sighed, he was forced to rebel!
"Yes, back then, as a show of sincerity, the Duke married the daughter of the eldest princess, Princess Changping, for his son. It's a pity that the first emperor was deceived by lard, otherwise there would be no subsequent treason."

"After the duke lingered on the couch, he completely figured it out, since that's the case, then it's just the opposite!
The first emperor sent secret guards to strictly guard the Duke's mansion, but the Duke still found a way to contact the old ministry.Originally, the right time, place and people were all in place, and the chances of winning were sure, but unexpectedly something happened. "

"What happened?" Su Yizhao's heart beat wildly, she was afraid of hearing the answer she didn't want to hear.

Dou Jun turned his head and his eyes sparkled, "Someone is telling the truth!"

"Who told you?" Su Yizhao felt his heart jumping in his throat.

"Back then, a subordinate of the old ministry, who was greedy for glory and wealth, secretly reported to the late emperor, so the late emperor was prepared." Dou Jun said leisurely.

Su Yizhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Where is that person? Is he still alive?"

"No! I killed this man before I left the palace with the Duke."

Su Yizhao wanted to ask about Su Wenqing, but he didn't know how to ask.

"However, every time I think about it carefully over the years, I don't think it's quite right. The informer is Jingfu Commander Si Zhenfu, not your grandfather's letter, but a follower in your grandfather's old department. How did he know the details? What about deployment?"

Detailed deployment?Su Yizhao felt that something was wrong, "Then who do you think it would be? How many people conspired with grandfather at that time?"
