Chapter 1085: The Theory of the Elder Sage
(Thanks: The reward of the magical Golden Beetle Brothers.) It's the end of the month, so come back to everything! )
Guo Chong frowned tightly and was silent. Concubine Rong must die, but giving Concubine Rong the will to die in front of Green Dance is indeed a little inconsiderate, and she is also angry tonight. In this way, in the mind of Green Dance, he will definitely think that he is a tyrannical king. I still want to get along with Green Dance, so I shouldn't have made a decision so quickly.
Lin Jue suddenly said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong's sin is indeed unforgivable, but the emperor is angry at the moment and executed Niangniang, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate." Many things have not yet been clarified, such as the emperor's suspicion that there is another mastermind behind this matter, and there are ...... The Three Princes...... This one...... Guo Hao's mysterious death. Niangniang is the person in charge. If you just give the mother to death, won't you find out nothing? Again...... The Queen Mother there...... Always report it. Otherwise...... Wouldn't the Queen Mother want to blame the emperor? Please also ask the emperor to think twice. At the very least, we have to find out the truth before making a decision. ”
Lin Jue's words really hit the nail on the head, and this is the core of the matter. Concubine Rong deserves to die, but as soon as she died, the clues were broken, and many things died without proof. Guo Chong still has many doubts and mysteries waiting to be solved. The Queen Mother couldn't be left unnoticed. If she cuts first and then plays, the Queen Mother will definitely not forgive herself.
Of course, Lin Jue also took a great risk in doing so. Concubine Rong is alive, and the instigation of the design of Liang Wangfu may break out, and that is the situation where everyone is finished. Therefore, Concubine Rong was executed, in fact, from a rational point of view, it is the most stable and safe way to end this matter. But Lin Jue had to intercede for Concubine Rong. One Concubine Rong is Green Dance's mother, no matter what she did before, she can't watch Green Dance's biological mother being killed and be indifferent. It's too cruel for Midori Dance. Second, if Lin Jue wants to recover the current disadvantage, he needs to keep Concubine Rong. Concubine Rong and the Queen Mother are the biggest forces in the harem to support Guo Mian, and as soon as Concubine Rong dies, the Queen Mother is afraid that her life will not be long, and that is the situation where the opponent will win a big victory. As long as Concubine Rong does not die, there is still the possibility of flipping. He will make a fuss with Concubine Rong to seize Guo Hao's death.
Guo Chong pondered for a long time, looked at Lu Wu and said softly: "I met you for the first time today, and since you asked me for permission, how could I be indifferent?" But this time, Concubine Rong's crime was extremely heinous, and it was hard to forgive. I can only hold her off for the time being, and postpone the decision. ”
Lu Wu said happily: "Thank you Emperor, thank you Emperor." ”
Guo Chong sighed and shouted in a deep voice: "Concubine Rong! ”
Concubine Rong hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The concubine is here!" ”
Guo Chong didn't look at her, his eyes looked at the flickering candle flame and said in a deep voice: "From now on, you will move to Changchun Pavilion to live, without my permission, you will not go out, you will not see outsiders, you will be guilty behind closed doors, and you will wait for disposal." All the treatment of concubines will be cancelled, and all regulations will be the same as the palace people. Do you understand? ”
Concubine Rong's tears poured down, and she kowtowed: "The concubine understands, the concubine thanks the emperor for his grace." ”
The Changchun Pavilion is a dilapidated courtyard located in the northwest corner of the Ouchi Harem. There are some concubines who have committed major crimes, and some sick and crazy concubines and palace maids. To put it simply, it is the so-called 'cold palace'. There is a huge Ouchi Imperial Palace, and the last place that everyone wants to go to is there. It was a dark corner of the glorious palace where ghosts cried and wolves howled every night, and the people who lived there were either dead or crazy. What kind of person is Concubine Rong? Today, I have to go to live in the cold palace of Changchun Pavilion, how can I not regret it, tears are like rain. This tear is remorse on the one hand, and fear and worry on the other.
Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief, at least Concubine Rong's life was saved temporarily. After this incident was exposed, Concubine Rong was not spared, and it was a small victory to save her life for the time being. This shows that the emperor still has a little bit of reluctance to kill Concubine Rong from the bottom of his heart. If the emperor's heart is like iron, it will not be persuaded by any means.
Green Dance looked at Concubine Rong with tears, and she was also very happy in her heart. Her feelings for Concubine Rong are actually very complicated. On the one hand, Concubine Rong brought her great harm and behaved viciously, especially after knowing that she killed Lu Feiming, Green Dance hated her very much for a while. But on the other hand, she is her own mother after all, how can she watch her die. In fact, Concubine Rong's status in Lu Wu's heart is not as good as that of her adoptive mother Chen, and she is far from her main mother, Mrs. Wang. Green Dance has this kind of real mother-daughter relationship for Mrs. Wang, which even Chen's is not as good as. It's just that after all, they are real mothers and daughters, although they have resentment, but when life and death are at stake, how can they be indifferent?
Guo Chong shouted and ordered people to come in and ask Concubine Rong to move to Changchun Pavilion. Concubine Rong simply packed up some clothes and supplies with tears in her eyes. Leaving with only two personal palace maids. This moment was bleak, and Lu Wu couldn't help crying, but she understood that she couldn't help Concubine Rong. Concubine Rong covered her face and cried when she left, and cried even more when she said goodbye to Guo Chong. Guo Chong frowned and didn't look at her from beginning to end.
After Concubine Rong left, the room was quiet again. After an awkward silence, everyone's emotions calmed down a bit. Guo Chong's mood seemed to calm down a bit, and he sat down behind the table, looking at Lu Wu with a hint of love in his eyes.
"Green Dance, you are my daughter, I will tell the world tomorrow, restore your status as a princess, and give you a knighthood. You're no longer a slave. You are the identity of Lin Jue's concubine...... It's a bit tricky. Lin Jue already has a wife, how can this be good? Why don't I ask Lin Jue to give you a letter of resignation, and I will choose another good match for you, what do you think? My princess can't be a concubine. Guo Chong frowned.
Lin Jue and Green Dance were both startled. Guo Chong is too outrageous, is this going to beat the mandarin ducks?
Green Dance immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, Green Dance don't be a princess, it's just fine." If I want to leave my husband and marry someone else, I will hit my head and die. The emperor doesn't want to force me. ”
Lin Jue also said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have never treated Green Dance as a concubine. The minister didn't know about Green Dance's background earlier. I have a very close relationship with Green Dance, and the emperor can't do this. ”
Guo Chong rubbed his hands and frowned: "But this title is not a trivial matter, how can my daughter be a side room for you?" Isn't it a joke for the ages? In the end, it's the slut's fault that makes this extremely tricky. I think again, think again. ”
Guo Chongkun sat in the lamp and pondered, his heart in a mess. Even in the face of military affairs, Guo Chong was not so troubled. It's just this palace affair that makes him at a loss. He felt sorry for himself, and tonight it was as if all the people in the world had suddenly turned their backs on him, which made him feel lonely and angry, full of frustration.
After a long time, Guo Chong looked at Lin Jue and said in a dumb voice: "Lin Jue, do you think I am a failure? ”
Lin Jue hurriedly said: "Why did the emperor say this? ”
Guo Chong turned his head and said softly: "Externally, I didn't govern the Great Zhou well, and my Great Zhou is declining, and I am responsible." In the harem, the people around me did these rebellious things, and I didn't even know anything. I used to think that I was wise and powerful, and nothing could be difficult for me. I think that the people around me are loyal to me, and I can see through them. But now, I realize that all this is my wishful thinking and arrogance. In the eyes of outsiders, I'm afraid I'm already a dumb king. ”
Lin Jue hurriedly said: "The emperor must not think like this. The emperor wants to make great efforts and do something big, but this retribution alone is beyond the reach of many ancient emperors. The emperor is frugal and simple, and does not indulge in pleasure. Worry about state affairs and do your best. That's exactly what the Holy Monarch did. As for the outcome, in fact, sometimes it is providential. But do your best to obey the destiny of heaven and be worthy of your heart. And what the people around the emperor did, it was not the emperor's fault. It was they who betrayed the emperor's trust, could it be that the emperor should take responsibility for others when they did evil? ”
Guo Chong's expression perked up, and he said softly: "Yes, others do evil, why should I be responsible for their disloyalty?" I've thought too much. ”
Lin Jue thought for a while and said softly: "Your Majesty, the minister has a truth and doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”
Guo Chong said in a deep voice: "But to put it simply, I really want to make friends with people at the moment. ”
Lin Jue said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." The minister believes that the root cause of many disturbances in the inner palace of the imperial court is nothing more than desire. When someone wants to achieve a certain goal, they will do whatever it takes to make waves. And the imperial court just gave them this opportunity. Everything has a root, and if the emperor can find this root cause and prescribe the right medicine, he can avoid many troubles. ”
Guo Chong frowned and said, "You seem to mean something, you said it clearly." ”
Lin Jue said: "The minister said it directly. What the minister was referring to was the matter of establishing the crown prince, which the minister believed was the root cause of all the turbulent affairs in the court. The matter of establishing a prince is not complicated, my Great Zhou has always had a system of establishing a prince, but in this dynasty, the emperor is ...... It seems that there is an intention to undermine this system, which is why there is so much distraction. The emperor's hesitation and selfishness gave some people hope, so they began to fight secretly for these hopes. Once there is a fight, it is inevitable that there will be many factions and different parties. In order to win the crown prince, everyone will do whatever it takes to do whatever it takes. Because once you start, you can't stop. If one side loses the battle, the consequences are terrible, and even if it is not good, it will lose its head. Therefore, the minister thought that if the emperor made his position clear from the beginning, some disputes could be eliminated invisibly. ”
Guo Chong's face was extremely ugly, he could hear it, Lin Jue said earlier that those faults were not his own fault, but what he said later was to attribute all the faults to his own destruction of customization. alluding to his selfish preference for Guo Xu led to chaos in the court. Guo Chong wanted to be angry and reprimand Lin Jue, but he couldn't open his mouth. Because he felt that what Lin Jue said made sense, for so many days, he himself had been thinking about these problems, and he had also thought that this seemed to be the crux of the problem.
The emperor's ambiguous attitude invisibly encouraged this kind of fighting. The emperor may have thought that Lixian was thinking about the Great Zhou Jiangshan Sheji, and thought that King Huai's intelligence and ability were better than that of King Jin. But in fact, the standard of virtuousness is not uniform. The benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise. The emperor thinks he is virtuous, but he may not be virtuous to the country. It is good to be ambitious, but it is not another way of saying that you are happy to be successful. Mediocre and incompetent is not virtuous? But why can't he be a wise man who does nothing? Being virtuous and unvirtuous is not absolute, with different perspectives and mentalities, and different views. On the surface, King Huai seems to be more intelligent and more positive than King Jin. The king of Jin loves to feast and drink poetry, and it seems to be a bit of a gentleman. But from another point of view, King Jin is quite popular among scholars, and he is also bold and cheerful. And the king of Huai doesn't seem to have many friends to socialize with. Dare to ask the emperor, is it better for the Great Zhou to unite his subordinates, or is it better for the future of the Great Zhou to reject people thousands of miles away and make people dare not talk to him? ”
