Chapter 265 [278] Twisted Hegemony
Wei Yuchen's thoughts are already known to everyone in Sima Zhaozhi's heart, and it's not something he can cover up if he wants to.

Now, the anger he made in the court is even more inexplicable, but he is the emperor, and no one can say anything, so he can only stand dryly and listen!
Wei Yuchen talked for a long time, and found that it was quiet down there, everyone lowered their heads and didn't even look at him.

This made him suddenly feel as if his breath hit the cotton, and he lost his voice in an instant.

The ministers listened and found that the lecture stopped at some point, and they were a little strange for a while, and they all looked up.

It doesn't matter, I just saw Wei Yuchen looking at them with a smile that was not a smile: "What? Do you want me to prepare a bed for each of you so that you can sleep on the spot, eh?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's complexion changed drastically, and they all knelt down: "Your servant is guilty, long live my emperor."

"Long live? Hehe, this is the funniest joke in the world!"

Wei Yuchen sneered with his lips raised, his tone was low and without a trace of warmth.

"Please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty!"

When all the ministers saw this battle, they knew that Long Yan was really offended, all of them looked terrified, and they lay tightly on the ground and dared not get up.

Wei Yuchen swept across the court officials kneeling on the ground with a bloodthirsty smile, his handsome face was almost ferocious.

But when he saw that although he was kneeling on the ground, he didn't kneel there like other people, but straightened up, looking at him mockingly, Prince Rong, a flash of anger and anger flashed in his dark pupils. Unwilling.

Then he took a deep breath and walked away without looking at the crowd.

Wei Ziheng looked coldly at Wei Yuchen's leaving back, stood up slowly, turned and left without saying a word.

The ministers faced the emperor and the prince one behind the other, and then knelt for a long time before looking at each other with pale faces.

Hang, really hang!
What exactly did they just do?
Unanimously treat the emperor as air, let him scold at the top, and the reaction of everyone below is the same as hell?
This shows what?
Everyone thought of this, stood up with pale faces, glanced at each other, and left in a hurry.

But Prince Rong, who took the first step, did not expect that just after he walked out of the court, a eunuch hurried over: "See you, Your Majesty."

A sneer appeared on Prince Rong's face again: "Tell him, I'm not feeling well, so I won't go, and I will apologize face to face in the future, please take care of myself!"

"My lord, my lord?" The little eunuch was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Prince Rong would even dare to show the emperor's face. This, how can this be good?

But when the eunuch tremblingly conveyed Prince Rong's words to Wei Yuchen, he seemed to have expected this result a long time ago, staring blankly ahead, waved his hands weakly, and ordered him to retreat.

The little eunuch let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly left this place of right and wrong, but the chief eunuch Liu Shi and the chief of the imperial guard Qiu Cheng looked at each other, their eyes were full of worry.

"Emperor? Are you okay?"

Liu Shi stepped forward cautiously and handed him a cup of tea.

Wei Yuchen stood up suddenly at this moment, and the teacup in Liu Shi's hand dropped in response.

Under his gloomy and sharp eyes, Liu Shi shuddered, "Emperor...,"

"No one is allowed to follow!"

The loud words carried an unprecedented coldness and murderous intent, Liu Shi shrank his neck, and finally did not dare to follow.

Instead, he kept winking at Qiu Cheng who was standing beside him, and Qiu Cheng glanced at him coldly: "Why?"

"Why? You are the head of the imperial guards. Why are you following me instead of following the emperor?"

"You dead eunuch, who followed you? Didn't you hear what the emperor said just now? Do you want me to repeat it again?"

"Because of this, you should follow him even more. The emperor is in a bad mood today."

"A fool can tell that the emperor is in a bad mood."

"You idiot, if you don't go, I'll go!"

After all, it is the person who has been with Wei Yuchen for more than ten years. Even though the emperor has given the order, Liu Shi and Qiu Cheng deeply understand why the emperor is angry.

If they also left, there would really be no one around the emperor to talk to.

Although they were arguing, they all understood that each other was just trying to gain some advantage with their lips. When something happened, they all stood behind Wei Yuchen together.

Just like now, when he was walking in front, the two of them dared not approach, so they could only follow closely behind, following closely.

As the delicacy in front of them became more and more familiar, when Liu Shi and Qiu Cheng realized where this place was, Wei Yuchen was already standing in front of the gate of Kunning Palace, which had shown signs of depression after years of baptism.

With the erosion of time, the plaques of Kunning Palace are no longer as glamorous and solemn as before, and even the once dazzling red gate has lost its paint color.

No one has set foot here for 12 years. Even all the roads leading to Kunning Palace have been blocked. The bluestone road where they are standing is also overgrown with weeds and moss, which shows the meaning of desolation. , there is no difference.

Standing on this long path, Liu Shi and Qiu Cheng felt the wind blowing. It was obviously hot summer, but why were they sweating?

Just when Wei Yuchen withdrew his desolate eyes, and was about to push open the door in front of him that hadn't been opened for 12 years, Liu Shi's heart tightened and he was about to step forward, but Qiu Cheng tightly pushed him from behind. hold on.

"It should come, it will come. Today, 12 years have passed, and the knot in the emperor's heart is getting bigger and bigger every year. If this continues, his heart will be crushed!"

Liu Shi's face turned pale: "Yes, but there used to be, once...,"

His lips trembled, even the people who were close to the emperor could not tell the tragic picture of 'there was once full of corpses, bloody water'.

Fortunately, Qiu Cheng was not someone else, and he easily understood what he wanted to express, and there was only a touch of darkness across his cold handsome face.

"This is the emperor's sin. He should bear it by himself. No one can replace him. If he can't pass this test, he will be tortured by the demons forever. In the future, the situation like today will happen again and again. And the occurrence of three, do you understand?"

Liu Shi's body trembled, and he staggered back a step. His eyes were full of complexity. When he looked at the three characters of "Kunning Palace", he couldn't help clenching his teeth. How could he not understand?
He is obviously the emperor aloof.

He can clearly tell the truth.

He can obviously kill those ministers who turn a blind eye to him.

However, with Du's family and the tragedies related to those big households related to Du's family first, and the revenge of "Du's death" followed, these ministers were burdened with "suspiciousness", "ruthless" and "ruthless" in the face of this, etc., In front of the emperor with such cruel words, it seems that he does not have the respect he used to.

It's not that they are brave enough, but because this is what the people want. Who can hold their breath after seeing the criminal evidence of those ministers who died under the "Du Zijian"? normal?

No matter which faction these people belong to now, and it doesn't matter whether they are civil servants or military officials, let alone honest or corrupt officials, they are all officials, and they are all people who eat the emperor's salary. Who would not want to serve a generation of Mingjun?

If the emperor they are assisting is the kind who can't rub the sand in his eyes, does not allow the strong to exist, is not allowed to be stronger than the royal family, does not allow great achievements to overwhelm the master, does not allow...

If this is really the case, then, in this court, are there any ministers who really serve the country and the people?
If these ministers have to look forward and backward in everything they do, think about their own fate in the future, and hide their own strength, then the future of Siyou Kingdom will be dark and peaceful?
Don't you want to be slaughtered?
The Du family didn't make any mistakes, they ended up like that just because they had a heavy army and a queen.

Even though there were so-called criminal evidence of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country later, when he saw that those who sued the Du family were now dying one by one under everyone's noses, and their criminal evidence was exposed one by one in front of everyone, the emperor couldn't help it. , naturally became the faint king in everyone's eyes.

In particular, the criminal evidence of these people has been deliberately concealed, and these cases have not been publicly reviewed.

Although on the surface it is said to preserve their last bit of decency, since the person is dead and the family has been wiped out, the case ends here.

But in fact, who can't see that this is a stupid act of Wei Yuchen's evasion of his own responsibility?

Therefore, Wei Yuchen thought that the best way to deal with it actually gave the officials more ways to question the tragedy in the Du Mansion, and felt that the emperor's inaction was too selfish.

He can tolerate these corrupt officials, why is the Du family, the hero of the country, reduced to such a miserable situation?

Liu Shi and Qiu Cheng obviously saw the many problems that existed, and they also understood why Prince Rong hated mentioning the Du family so much. He even pointed his nose in front of Wei Yuchen and scolded, "You don't deserve it, you don't deserve it." I don't deserve to mention those words at all'.

If the reaction of the officials was deliberately created by someone, it would be fine, but it was a natural reaction of people. This natural reaction regardless of faction was the real reason that stimulated Wei Yuchen's anger.

Prince Rong, as the prince who initially assisted Wei Yuchen, as the prince who was most qualified to inherit the throne but gave up the throne to him, as the son of the empress dowager's direct relative, he would rather give up what he got, and use all his network to help Wei Yuchen's elder brother also completely released his anger today.

Originally, he was very opposed to the case of the Du family, but now the expressions of the people made him, the prince, feel an unprecedented sense of guilt. Was it not for his selfishness and humility back then, perhaps there would not have been so many tragedies of families being wiped out one after another ?
Prince Rong blamed himself very much, but Wei Yuchen, for the first time in the world, tried to reflect.

Unexpectedly, the first place he wanted to come to was Kunning Palace, which had been in depression for nearly 12 years.

I don't know what profound truths he can reflect on here?
People cannot be resurrected after death, and time will not turn back. The prosperity of the Kunning Palace in the past and the depression today all told him deeply that there is no so-called medicine for regret in this world.

Wrong, it is wrong, no matter how much you want to redeem, slander, I'm afraid you can't.

The more you run away, the deeper you will sink, until you are completely destroyed!

With a "squeak", the door of Kunning Palace was pushed open by Wei Yuchen.

Because it had been in disrepair for a long time and no one took care of it, a lot of dust rolled from the door frame and landed in his hair.

But Wei Yuchen acted as if he hadn't heard about it, and just stood there blankly, staring at the Kunning Palace where countless memories were once piled up, his body began to feel cold and cold for no reason.

The Kunning Palace under the scorching sun is not like today's Yongning Palace exuding dazzling vitality everywhere, but is covered by weeds. Even between the green bricks and green tiles on the eaves in the shade, thick moss grows. Beside the door, I could already feel a cold musty smell blowing towards my face.

Wei Yuchen slowly let go of the hand holding the door, and when his eyes gathered bit by bit to the main hall in the center, he seemed to feel that the peerless medical queen was smiling dignifiedly and decently at him, welcoming him. his arrival.

However, after an inexplicable wind swept over, the scene changed to the third day of September in the second year of Emperor Cheng. On the night when the Du Mansion was destroyed, 120 people from Kunning Palace were hacked to death by his men, leaving no one behind... …

Wei Yuchen's slender body stood facing the wind, his white clothes and black hair were in the cold palace like an ice cellar, his hands in his sleeves kept tightening, tightening and then tightening, those black pupils that always radiated a deep light, screamed After a long sigh, he closed it slowly.

"Du Yunge, even if you've been dead for 12 years, you still don't intend to let me go, do you?"

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the quiet Kunning Palace has an eerie atmosphere, and gusts of gloomy wind blow slowly through the long and narrow palace passage, which is bitingly cold.

Just when Wei Yuchen wanted to push away the one-meter-high weeds and continue walking inside, he was tightly held by Qiu Cheng and Liu Shi behind him.

"Your Majesty, let's go back!"

"Let go!"

Wei Yuchen's voice was very soft, but it contained a chilling chill.

After Liu Shi and Qiu Cheng exchanged glances, they held his arm firmly without moving a single bit, and Liu Shi even comforted him with life and death: "Your Majesty, the deceased is gone. It's better to give the Du family a clean slate."

Wei Yuchen's body trembled, and a layer of frost suddenly swept over his handsome and innocent face. He looked at Liu Shi as if he was looking at a dead person, and his deep pupils were full of murderous intent.

"You, what, what? Pure, white? Even you think I was abused, killed, innocent?"

Because of anger, Wei Yuchen almost grinded out every single word from his mouth.

Although Liu Shi was full of fear in his heart, when he thought of the emperor's self-defeating, and the knot in his heart that had been depressed for more than ten years, he gritted his teeth and raised his head boldly.

"Your Majesty, this old slave is bold enough to speak up here today. Before killing this old slave, please ask the Emperor to listen to what this old slave has to say."

Wei Yuchen threw off the arms of the two of them angrily, and his icy and cold gaze was filled with gloom: "Where are you, Qiu Cheng? Do you have something to say?"

Qiu Cheng didn't even look at Liu Shi, and just knelt down: "After he finished speaking, I will add more."

It can be regarded as an indirect acquiescence to his questioning.

Wei Yuchen glanced down at Liu Shi who was also kneeling on the ground at some point, and three feet of thin ice appeared in his deep eyes.

"Okay, today I'll just listen to you talk about what's on your mind. It's hard to hold back for so many years, right? Tell me, I'll listen to you all the time!"

Liu Shi suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Wei Yuchen: "Your Majesty, I want to tell you the truth. Have you ever regretted it in these years?"

Wei Yuchen smiled instantly. Although he was handsome, it gave people goosebumps, "Regret? Why should I regret it?"

"Is the emperor unwilling to face this problem? Or is he unwilling to face his own heart? Since he doesn't admit that he regrets it, why would he be awakened by the same scene every time he dreams back in the middle of the night?"

"Why do you always call the empress's maiden name? Why do you love the eldest son of the emperor, but insist on letting him die in the sea of ​​fire? Why? Your majesty, can you explain to this old servant why?"

One sentence made Wei Yuchen speechless for an instant, staring and glaring, but there was no reason to refute.

Because he clearly understands that these things can be hidden from others, but they cannot be hidden from the two people in front of him.

Therefore, even if he wants to argue here, it will only be a waste of saliva. This is a fact, a fact he cannot deny!

"Yeah, I am also very strange, why I have been repeating the same dream for so many years, why no matter what I dream, I always go back to the third day of September, even if I am standing here, what emerges before my eyes is that scene Bloody massacre, could it be that I was really wrong?"

"No, I am not wrong, why did I make a mistake? How could I be wrong? Everything I do is for the long-term consideration of the Wei family. I want to build a stronger Wei family for my descendants. What's wrong with me?"

Facing Wei Yuchen's stubbornness, Liu Shi took his time and asked coldly.

"As far as I know, the Du family not only has no intention of treason, but is loyal to the king and the country. The Du family's army is the invincible God of War on the battlefield. With the Du family's army in one day, our Siyou country will be peaceful forever, Your Majesty Why do you think that the empress and the eldest son of the emperor will ruin your Wei family?"

"Could it be, the eldest son of the emperor, isn't his surname Wei?"

"Don't your majesty love the empress? Don't your majesty want the Du family to assist the future eldest son to become the next heir apparent?"

Liu Shi's pressing questions one after another made the man in white in front of him show a sinister smile.

"Let me ask you, do you think that the Du family is the reason why I am today?"

Liu Shi and Qiu Cheng looked at each other and said at the same time, "Isn't it?"

Although he was hopeful, Wei Yuchen was still disappointed when these words came out of the mouths of these two people.

He looked at the two people he trusted the most and smiled coldly.

"Yes, indeed, without the humility of the emperor's brother, and the help of the queen mother and the Du family who spared no effort, there would be nothing wrong with me in this world."

"Among my royal brothers and brothers, there are not a few outstanding ones, especially that Wei Jie, who is already expected by everyone at a young age, but in the end, doesn't he also want to assist me? Become my minister? "

"Hehe, this is fate, isn't this fate? But, so what? No matter who the future emperor is, the Du family will support him, right? Since they all have to support them, then this kindness depends on What will I remember forever?"

"I am the king, and they are the ministers. It is only natural for the ministers to assist the emperor. Why do you have to mention their favor in my ears again and again?"

"Why? You tell me, why is this? And that Du Yunge, a generation of virtuous queens?"

"Hehehe... When you praised her and the Du family to the point where I was ashamed, did you ever consider my feelings?"

"I'm clearly the Son of Heaven, the king of this country, right? Why every time I mention Zhen, I have to hang with her, Du Yunge, and the Du family?"

"Why? I am not an accessory, I am not a dispensable existence, I am also capable and courageous, but who of you saw it? Who saw it?"

"You only have the Du family in your eyes, and the common people regard the Du family as an invincible place, and even say that without the Du family, there would be no so-called Wei family and Si You? Hehe, how dare they say such a thing? Then I will give it a try when the time comes, whether without this Du family, their Siyou country will be destroyed in one fell swoop."
