Chapter 207: The sea has finally bottomed out, and it’s hard to know one’s true feelings after death

The sea will eventually dry up, and it will be difficult for people to know their true feelings after death.

Zhao Ru didn't know where he got the courage to openly mention the matter of the Big Dipper in the court.Although this matter was said by Sima Taishi before his death, it is difficult to guarantee that the emperor will not vent his anger on him.

I don’t know if it’s because he is extremely loyal, or because he is not familiar with the world and doesn’t know how to be careful in his words and deeds as an official.

Looking at him with a dull face, standing far away, the morning light shone brightly behind him, and the emperor really couldn't see his face clearly.

Zhao Rudao: "Let me tell you, Your Majesty, Sima Taishi didn't explain this clearly before his death, and I don't know much about it. It's just postponed from the Big Dipper itself. This is a foreshadowing."

"Don't be hesitant, just say what you have to say."

The emperor ordered, looking a little impatient. Sometimes the monarch and his ministers are separated by mountains and thousands of miles of water, and sometimes they are very close. Sometimes they feel distant, and sometimes they worry about being too close.

Emperors have been lonely since ancient times, with only the sun and moon always accompanying them.

Zhao Ru showed a calm attitude that he was not afraid of being implicated and could say everything he wanted to say.

Although it was the first time I spoke in the court, my body couldn't help but tremble and my legs felt weak, but I felt a little more relaxed as I spoke.

It’s like believing that a blessed person will not be harmed by any poison.An unlucky person will be imprisoned even if he speaks a few words.

"The second son seizes the legitimate son, and the world will be in chaos."

The man who thought he was blessed still said something that was outrageous in the world, and everyone in the court could sternly rebuke him.

"Presumptuous. Why did the two sons claim the title of legitimate son?" Gao Lun was the first to stand up and shouted.

The difference in rank between the two was only half a rank, so Gao Lun couldn't block the ministers from confronting an official like this.

"Yes, yes, your Majesty, please don't be angry. Don't be anxious. Zhao Ru didn't know where he heard such evil talk, and he still talked about it in front of the court. He deserves to be damned. This will make people get rid of him." Official uniform, drag him out."

Manager Ji hurriedly leaned forward to comfort the emperor, and winked at Situ Nan and Gao Lun who were standing below. Situ Nan and Gao Lun naturally understood what he meant.

The two of them usually had a lot of tit-for-tat confrontations in the court, but when encountering this kind of situation, they could always put aside their differences and stand on the same side.

Watching the fire from the other side or adding fuel to the fire are all familiar and easy to handle.

The fight between two sons has always brought misfortune. In the small case, it will disrupt the court order, and in the big case, it will lead to war.The eldest prince had won the hearts of the people and was outstanding in his literary, military and military skills. As the eldest son, he was naturally the best choice for the crown prince.May I ask where the theory of two sons seizing the legitimate rights comes from?
With something so obvious, there is no room for anyone to be suspicious and cause trouble.

Although the eldest prince has never thought about recruiting party members, the courtiers are thinking about their future glory and wealth, and those who can make plans in advance will not wait until later.

Naturally, the wider the road you are traveling on, the better, and the smoother the better.

As for the way left to others, the mountains and rivers are blocked by heaven but not by people.

Just watch the fire from the other side.

Don't harm others, don't fall into the wrong trap, just not saving them when they are in trouble is reasonable and not considered evil.

This trend has prevailed for many years, and the emperor turned a blind eye.

After the ministers criticized one after another, Zhao Ru was unconvinced and said: "The adults are right, and the eldest prince is indeed of good character, assisting the government and conscientiously. But the story of the Big Dipper and Nine Stars is also true. The minister is also speaking from the facts. You don't have the heart to lie or lie." Zhao Ru looked sincere, and after just a few words, he changed from an unknown little ant to a person no one dared to ignore.

Especially his words, even if someone dared to think about it, they would not say it out loud.Who gave him such courage.

The emperor still remained silent. Manager Ji looked worried and couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking.

Gao Lun snorted.Putting his hands together in front of his body, he looked at Situ Nan shaking.

Although the two of them usually had a lot of arguments, now that someone else had robbed them of their words, they immediately felt the same hatred and hatred.

Situ Nan bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Ru's statement needs to be verified. When there are floods, fires, epidemics, and neighboring countries disturbing the borders, how can we be so arrogant in the court and believe in the astrology."

I don’t know how many loyal and righteous people have been killed by astrological heresies since ancient times. If such remarks are allowed to be brought out of the court today, spread to the civil and military officials, and then spread to the ears of the people, I don’t know what kind of waves will be caused, and how many right and wrong will be born. . "

Seeing that the emperor was wary of Zhao Ru's words, Situ Nan hadn't breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhao Ru's humble voice behind him, "Yes, what Situ Da said is reasonable, and I think so too. This matter of the two sons seizing the legitimate children must not be spread among the people."

"Oh? It was clearly the Beidou Nine Stars you mentioned before, and the second son took over as the legitimate heir. Why have you changed your story now? What is your intention in teasing everyone like this?"

After the emperor finished speaking, Zhao Ru suddenly knelt on his knees and begged: "Your Majesty, forgive me. Sirs, Zhao Ru is a scholar. Thanks to the emperor's grace, he can contribute a small amount to Daqi. After serving as an official for many years, he always remembers. Long En, I dare not slack off in the slightest, and I have never had the courage to overstep Sima Taishi.

I just have a heart that tells everything I know and tells the truth, Your Majesty.Previously, Sima Taishi died at home for no apparent reason. The cause of this matter has not yet been found out. Today, the minister will ignore this matter for the time being, but it does not mean that this matter has nothing to do with the theory of the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper.

Maybe the Nine Stars of the Big Dipper had forebodings beforehand. If this is the case, the emperor should decide on the candidate for the crown prince as soon as possible to calm this ominous omen. "

Yang Fengdan saw this sudden change, his gray beard was as quiet as the wind, and he had not said a word today.

Gao Lun couldn't help but said: "Now that the two princes are not in Jinling, how can we decide on the candidate for the prince?"

Zhao Ru said again: "I just tell you everything I know, and I can't tell you everything I want to say."

The emperor waved his hand, and Zhao Ru retreated respectfully and tremblingly.

Although there is no war raging above the court hall, it is still cloudy and misty, as if something ominous is hovering above the main hall.

I left the court in a hurry, but my doubts and sorrows were a little more than before.

Yu'er is missing, and Jin'er is in Wucheng again.

Unknowingly, the emperor walked to Lulin Mountain in panic.

The road is far away, with trees forming a forest.Lu Linshan was originally full of books, but he is still full of books now.The emperor's face was serious, he had nowhere to go, and he didn't want to face Concubine Qi, he was worried that the concubine's beloved son would pester him to ask Xiao Yu's whereabouts.

Of course he was also worried, but far less worried than he thought.It seems that there is no big thing in the world that he can't stop thinking about. He doesn't feel the pain, he has gained wealth easily, and he has been enjoying the success for so long. He feels less and less that there is anything to worry about.

Even the Lu Linshan case back then may have been too fussy when I think about it now.

The garden is full of sunshine and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, which is a beautiful scenery.
