The great man will live forever

Chapter 257 Only by enduring humiliation can you bear the burden
"Snapped"

After slapping Guo Kuang on the face, Lord Guo gave his son Guo Kuang a big slap in the face.

"Do you want to kill the Guo family?"

Facing his mother's accusation and the big-eared man, Guo Kuang felt his head buzzing. He was speechless, hurt, and aggrieved. "Mom, didn't you ask me to wait for the opportunity?"

Master Guo hates that iron cannot be made into steel, "I asked you to destroy the Guo family behind Yin Lihua. Yin Shi is cautious and it is difficult to catch evidence, so he could only take advantage of the bandit chaos to kill him and several of his brothers. Destroyed their power in Xinye.

But he is not dead, and what about you?He actually attacked in the palace, which is the palace, so what's the point?

Will you dare to lead people to kill the emperor in some time?That would wipe out the whole family. "

Guo Kuang was still unconvinced, "Mother, since we want to eradicate it, wouldn't it be better to do it thoroughly? Otherwise, with His Majesty's current feelings for Yin Lihua, even if the entire Xinye Yin family is gone, my sister will not be favored by the Emperor."

"When your Majesty and the Queen were in Hebei, they still had the Guo family in their eyes. That was because of the situation. Now that the country is stable, if the Yin family is destroyed, it will be a drain on the bottom of the cauldron for him. No matter how much your Majesty loves Yin Lihua, he will not The queen's position is given to her, but if you want to touch Yin Lihua and the prince, don't forget that this is the country of the Han Dynasty, and he is the prince of the Han Dynasty."

This time Guo Kuang was a little panicked, "Mother, what should we do?"

Master Guo calmed down and asked, "Does your sister know about this?"

"I don't know. I was careful. The assassins were divided into two waves, one for Changqiu Palace and one for Xigong. Both sides were damaged. Even if His Majesty is suspicious, there is no evidence."

"Alas!" Master Guo sighed and said: "What you have to do now is two things. First, make sure that this matter has nothing to do with the Guo family. No clues can be revealed. No trace is allowed. Everyone who knows about it will be silenced. , remember not to take any chances.

Second, don't tell your sister about this. If she doesn't know, it will be difficult for Liu Xiu to doubt her. At most, he will doubt our Guo family, but he has no evidence. As long as Qiang'er is still the prince, then our Guo family will still have a chance. "

"The child understands."

There is still a place for parents in life, and there is only a way back for parents to go to life.

The death of her mother was a huge blow to Yin Lihua. She fainted from crying. When she woke up, she cried and shouted: "I want to go back, I want to go back, I want to go back to Xinye."

Liu Xiu was heartbroken and hugged her quickly: "Lihua, calm down, don't get excited. Lihua, be obedient, be obedient."

"Woo..." The entire palace was filled with sadness.

In the ninth year of Jianwu, the mother and younger brother of the noble Yin Lihua were killed by "bandits". Liu Xiu was very sad. He called Deng Yu, Li Tong, and other Nanyang generals, and issued an edict: "When I was humble, , married to the Yin family, and because of the expedition, they separated. Fortunately, they were safe and escaped from the tiger's mouth.

As a noble person has the beauty of motherly ceremony, it is appropriate to make him a queen, but if he is stubborn, he would not dare to be a concubine.In recognition of your righteousness, I grant you the title of title to all your brothers.Before reaching the rank of Sir, he encountered misfortunes and misfortunes. The mother and son share the same fate, and they are grieved in their arms.

"Xiaoya" says: "I will be afraid of you, but I will give it to you."It will be safe and happy, you will give it up.Is it possible to be careless when it comes to Feng Ren’s command?

His father Lu, a noble man, was given the posthumous title of Noble Marquis of Xuanyi and his younger brother Xin was the Marquis of Xuanyi and Gong. With his younger brother, he became the heir to the throne of Aihou.When the corpse's coffin is placed in the hall, the Taizhong doctor will pay his respects and give him the seal and ribbon, just like the ceremony of the princes in the country.The soul has spirit, be praised and favored! "

When the imperial concubine’s family members were killed, it was reasonable for the emperor to issue an edict to appease them.What's terrible is that the edict stated very straightforwardly that in the eyes of the emperor, Yin Lihua, who possessed the "beauty of maternal etiquette", was the best candidate for the queen, and Guo Shengtong's ability to become the queen was entirely the result of Yin Lihua's "solid words".

With this edict, how could it be embarrassing for Guo Shengtong, who was the queen?
In Jiaofang Hall, Guo Shengtong was naturally furious after hearing the news. He knocked over everything on the table and kept throwing things while he was still angry.

"what!"

"what!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"I am the queen, I am the one."

"Yin Lihua, you bitch, you are a bitch." She roared with bulging veins and red eyes.

At this time, Master Guo came in and quickly comforted her, "Daughter, please calm down, we have not lost. We have to wait for the opportunity, and I will make Yin Lihua pay the price."

After receiving this news, Liu Han was also a little confused. He had long known about the struggle between the Hebei faction and the Nanyang faction, especially the struggle between the two factions represented by the Guo family and the Yin family. They were almost at odds with each other.

Although political struggles often involve a life-and-death struggle, there is often a bottom line. Unexpectedly, his cheap uncle and grandmother are really powerful. They directly sent people to try to eradicate the Yin family, calling them bandits, hiding their ears and stealing their bells.

The Yin family was the local emperor in Xinye. For so many years, during the most chaotic period, in the last years of Xinmang, the world was in chaos, and no bandits broke in. Now the world is basically stable, and only Gongsun Shu in Shu is left.

Moreover, Yin Lihua was a noble concubine and gave birth to a prince. The Yin family became relatives of the emperor. Even the Nanyang prefect felt inferior when he saw the Yin family. As a result, bandits broke in. It was simply funny.

This is the same as later generations emptying the prize pool and not paying taxes. They know that you know, and you know that they know that you know, but they still do it. There is nothing you can do. It completely breaks the rules and is a pure scoundrel. They are almost certainly The Guo family sent people to do it, but there is no evidence.

Everyone usually engages in political struggles and still retains some dignity. It would be better for them to eradicate it from the root and overturn the table. This is probably what Sima Yi did in later generations, but sometimes it does work.

Liu Han shook his head when he heard this. He was not afraid of the gangsters acting helpless, but he was afraid of the educated gangsters acting helpless. This was how he was taken down.

He never expected that someone would send him and Liu Zhi away with two glasses of poisoned wine. He took all precautions and did not guard against this. He was probably too careful.

This is the most direct and thorough method. Beheading is extremely dirty and disdainful, but it is also very effective.

They even dared to send assassins into the palace to kill them. If Yin Lihua and her son died, Liu Qiang would definitely be the final emperor, and Guo Shengtong would never be deposed.

"Mother, what's wrong? Are you so angry?"

Looking at the messy main hall, Liu Han asked softly. He was obviously asking knowingly.

Guo Shengtong hugged Liu Han into his arms and burst into tears.

"Why be sad? There is no need to be sad. If you are a noble person, why should you be even more sad? My mother is dead. This is probably my uncle's doing. He is too stupid."

Lord Guo on the side was dumbfounded and shocked.

"How does Qiang'er know? Could it be that your father found out something?"

"If we can't find out, you will probably all be silenced."

"Then how did you know?"

"You guessed it, the bandits broke into the Yin family. Back then, the world was in chaos, and the bandits didn't dare to break in. Now the world is basically peaceful, and his family is a relative of the emperor. Does this bandit dislike his longevity? Or is he a member of a family of nine tribes? many?"

They were speechless. Guo Shengtong's expression changed and he looked at Master Guo, "Mother, are you and your brother really doing this?"

Lord Guo was silent.

Guo Shengtong sighed, "What would your Majesty do if he knew about this?"

Liu Han said: "He knew there was nothing he could do, so he kept silent and refused to admit it. Anyway, no matter whether he did it or not, when others asked, he didn't do it.

What my uncle and grandma did was not honest, but the road to imperial power is littered with bones. You die and I die. This has been the case since ancient times. Please do less in the future. My position as prince will not fall, and the Guo family will continue to be rich and powerful. If you do too much, you will make many mistakes.

This feels like a bad move. Maybe you are pushing each other step by step, but it is self-defeating. Sometimes, taking a step back may lead to a brighter future.

Forget it, people's hearts are unpredictable, just do it. Queen mother, don't be sad, don't be angry, there is no need to be angry, you are still the queen, anger will hurt your body. "After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving the two of them looking at each other. The uncle and grandma were a bit stupid and couldn't take them with them, but they had to take them. Sometimes the butt determines the head. Who makes them relatives.

"Qiang'er is so smart?"

"I've lived for decades, why can't I see it as clearly as he does?"

……

On the other side, in Zhangtai Hall, Yin Lihua's eyes were red and she was still sad.

Liu Yang also knew that his grandmother and uncle were dead. He looked at his mother sadly and asked, "Why did the queen want to be the queen that day?"

Yin Lihua was stunned for a moment, and even thought about it, would it have been better if she had resigned from the position of queen, and would there have been no result today?
But the situation at that time was that the Hebei faction was powerful, and she had to shirk it in order to stabilize the country. If she became the queen, the Hebei faction headed by Guo Shengtong would naturally not give up, and the fight would only become more intense...

But there are no what-ifs in the world, and it is not convenient for her to say these things. Liu Yang is still young and probably doesn't understand. She can only sigh helplessly and say: "Yang'er, in this world, if you love each other, there will be rule, and if you have bad relationships, there will be chaos. Mom has always I thought it would be like this.”

At this time, Liu Yang asked sadly: "If mother were the queen, wouldn't things happen to the Yin family? Wouldn't my sister and I be almost killed?"

Yin Lihua hugged him into her arms, "I don't know whether what I insisted on at the beginning was right?" She gently touched Liu Yang's head, and tears burst out instantly.

"My mother didn't do a good job. She didn't protect you and the Yin family well. She forgot that fighting on the battlefield means life or death."

"Mom, don't be sad. Yang'er will learn more and understand more than the prince's eldest brother. Yang'er will prove it to his father and all the people in the world. Yang'er will grow up quickly and rely on me to protect my sister. Protective mother..."

The mother and son hugged each other, unable to control their grief, and burst into tears.

Probably in order to make up for Yin Lihua, in the same year, in the ninth year of Jianwu (33rd year), Liu Xiu asked Yin Xing to be appointed as a minister and was given the title of Marquis of Guannei.

Liu Xiuzhao invited Yin Xing and prepared to reward him, showing him all the seals and ribbons of the Marquis of Guannei. However, Yin Xing refused to accept it and knelt down directly.

"Your Majesty, I cannot accept this."

Liu Xiu said quickly: "Junling is for your sister, just accept it." Junling is the word for Yinxing.

"I cannot accept your majesty's reward precisely because of my sister."

"Jun Ling, I know that you care about the status of your relatives, but your sister also needs you to protect her. She needs a more powerful Yin family to protect him."

"I have no credit for the charge into the battle, but several members of the clan have been favored and ennobled, making people all over the world feel admired and yearned for. This is really overflowing. Your Majesty can make a marquis for your late father, and you can also make an exception for your younger brother who is a concubine. , it has been a great favor to the Yin family, and I really can no longer accept the title of marquis.

This time the family was in trouble, and the other party unintentionally used this opportunity to attack his sister and the Yin family's power, in order to eradicate the roots. If Your Majesty continues to award rewards, he will be resented. The more this time, the more cautious I should be in my words and deeds. My mother asked me before she died, My eldest brother told me that I dare not forget it. I must be responsible for my sister, and even more responsible for the Yin family. "

Liu Xiu was stunned and smiled slightly, "Jun Ling has really grown up. Okay, get up. I won't force you."

Yin Xing saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I understand that there is not enough evidence at the moment, and it is difficult to get rid of the thieves. Your Majesty also has many constraints. Isn't it that your Majesty has to endure it for the sake of your sister?"

Your Majesty has a deep love for his sister and has lived up to Yin Xing's instructions. This is already the biggest reward for his sister and the Yin family. "

When Yin Lihua got married, Yin Xingke repeatedly told Liu Xiu to take good care of his sister. Liu Xiu also swore to heaven and promised to take good care of Yin Lihua. At that time, Liu Xiu was far from an emperor. !

Here, in Yin Lihua's main hall, the maid Zhenzhu said to Yin Lihua: "Your Majesty granted the second young master the position of Shizhong, and also granted him the title of Marquis of Guan Nei. The second young master received the official position, but refused to accept the title. Instead, he knighted several members of his family, which made the world People hold grudges.”

"Hold a grudge? He is still thinking about how not to be envied and jealous by everyone in the world. Who would be jealous of a relative's family who was almost bloodied?" At this time, Yin Lihua was very angry.

"When a good person is bullied, what will happen if he humbles himself? Doesn't he understand? Go and call him."

This was the first time that the maid Pearl noticed that Yin Lihua was so angry, and she quickly said: "My lord, please calm down."

Yin Lihua pointed to the door, "Go, call him over, go quickly."

"promise!"

Pearl had no choice but to call Yin Xing in.

Yin Lihua held the bamboo slips, her hands trembling. She had been suppressing her anger and sadness.

"elder sister!"

When she saw Yin Xing coming in and calling her sister, "Pah!", she quickly smashed the bamboo slips directly in front of him.

Yin Xing saw that something was wrong, so he quickly knelt down and said, "My lord, I'd like to pay my respects to Mr. Yin!"

"Have you kowtowed all day long to lose your manliness? Why aren't you granted the title? Do you think that being wise and protecting yourself is still the way we deal with things now?"

He immediately retorted: "Sister, don't you know that 'A strong dragon has regrets'?"

Yin Lihua yelled, "Repent, I have endured so much and given in so much, of course I have regrets."

"The higher you are in a high position, the more likely you are to suffer disasters. This family of relatives suffers from not knowing how to advance or retreat. When you marry a daughter, you must match the prince, and when you marry a wife, you hope to get a princess. Looking at the scenery for a while, sooner or later, everyone will die. The heart of the minister I feel really uneasy.

Wealth always comes to an end, and people should be content. Exaggeration of extravagance is even more opposed by public opinion.If you go too far, you will get angry sooner or later. "

Yin Lihua smiled miserably, "Caught up fire? The fire in the Yin family is almost gone, am I still afraid of death?"

"You are not afraid of death. What about eldest brother? Where are your children and His Majesty? If you try to show off your anger for a while, your future will be long. Do you understand?"

Seeing that Yin Lihua was still in emotion, he continued: "This account cannot be settled immediately. Before doing the calculation, you must remember one word first, endure!"

Yin Lihua's chest was crawling, "I've endured it for too long, how can I endure it?"

"Have you forgotten what my eldest brother said about His Majesty after the Kunyang War? You have been with him for more than 10 years, and you still can't learn the word "forbearance"?"

When Liu Xiu's eldest brother was killed, he was very tolerant. Not only did he not go to the funeral for his eldest brother, but he married a wife, drank wine and fat, and had a mouth full of oil. It looked like he was living a good life, but in fact he was enduring it all the time.

Yin Lihua cried and said: "I have endured it for so long, I have endured enough."

It has to be said that she was a little broken. Her mother's death was a huge blow to her.

"Sister, do you think you are the only one who is enduring it? It's not just you, I, the Yin family, and even His Majesty are all enduring it. At present, the Guo family's influence is spread throughout the government and the public. The current situation has no other choice but to endure it. The word "tolerance" is a big deal Knife, if you are irrational, you will not only hurt yourself.

Sister, only by enduring humiliation can you bear the burden. Has your sister forgotten the world that you and Your Majesty insist on? "

As Yin Xing spoke, tears flowed out unconsciously. Yin Lihua also cried loudly and then chose to endure it.

"Only by enduring humiliation can you bear the burden!"

After crying, she looked into the distance with firm eyes.
