944 The Emperor Is Old (II)
From the time His Excellency Li Yuan said those words that only he could say, Suning knew that no one could survive except himself, even if he was not in the house, but His Excellency Li Yuan seemed to speak louder when he was excited, so Suning knew that no one else could survive except himself, even if they didn't hear anything, His Excellency Li Yuan was about to die, and those who knew too much would have to be eliminated, otherwise how could Li Er's Majesty be at ease?
As for themselves......
In the past, Li Ermajesty summoned Suning in the study, the real power center of the Tang Dynasty, but now, it is the bedroom of Li Ermajesty, it can only be said that Suning does not know how this qiē should go.
Li Erma's dormitory was cut by a group of ministers led by Wei Zheng from the very beginning, they meant that Li Erma's Xià should go to a concubine's palace when he slept, and he didn't want to prepare another palace by himself, which was a special waste, but Li Erma's Xià insisted again and again, and when he was in Zhenguan for 14 years, Wei Zheng and others finally relented and promised to let Li Ermaxi build a small palace for himself to rest, in fact, many ministers still have a lot of dissatisfaction.
Small, but very exquisite, there should be, very warm, the big winter does not feel very cold, after entering, and Fang Cai, Zhao Chen silently withdrew, there are only two people in the small palace, there are only two people, Suning and Li Erma, Li Ermaxi à sat at the table next to the bed, holding a book in one hand and reading, Suning walked to his front and said: "Chen Suning is ordered to meet you, long live my emperor." ”
Li Erxi didn't look up, and pushed the plate of peanut candy in front of him forward: "A little etiquette, don't care, sit down." Eat something, I was thinking of letting you have lunch at noon, but I was called by the emperor, and I haven't eaten yet, right? I've already told the Imperial Dining Room that the Imperial Dining Room is being prepared, and it's past noon. It takes some time to prepare some meals, and you won't be able to eat for a while, so you should pad your stomach first! ”
Suning sat down naturally, picked up the peanut candy and ate it, from entering the palace early in the morning to accompany Li Er's majesty Xià for a walk until now, it has been several hours, and he has not eaten anything at all, he is indeed hungry and thirsty. The peanut candy is sweeter, so I feel even more thirsty, so I picked up the teacup used by Li Er's emperor and poured herbal tea to drink, and I didn't regard this place as the emperor's private space at all, I have to say that Suning himself felt that he was calm and natural too much, I don't know why, I heard so many things that others would die when they heard it. But I'm still so calm.
After eating and drinking for a while, Li Erxi put down the book. Closing the page, Suning glanced at the chapters of "Zizhi Tongjian", Sui Volume, Emperor Yang of Sui.
"I also think that only you can let go of your hands and feet in front of me to eat and drink, if it is someone else. Hearing so many things that shouldn't be heard, it is estimated that they are about to be scared to death, if it is an ordinary Wenchen, in order to protect his family, he should commit suicide immediately. How can you be like you, sitting in front of me eating and drinking, and drinking tea from my cup, you really don't think of yourself as an outsider! Li Erma looked at Suning with an unkind expression.
The peanut candy in Suning's mouth hadn't been chewed yet, and after chewing, he said: "If your majesty wants your majesty to die, why do you need to bring your minister here, just let Zhao Chen bring a metaphor, wouldn't it be good for the minister to kill himself, if you give the minister the opportunity to see your majesty, the minister will definitely not die, so the minister is not worried." ”
Li Er Majesty rolled his eyes and said, "Too smart person, you don't worry, I don't worry!" Whether Cheng Qian can control you is still a question, whether you can assist Cheng Qian with peace of mind, this is also a question, I have to think about it. ”
Suning smiled: "Too stupid person, it is estimated that His Majesty will let him die, Chen, he is not stupid to the point of having to die, as for what happened after His Majesty, the minister does not dare to speculate, but the minister does not have the heart of disobedience." ”
Li Erma looked at Suning for a long time, sighed, and shook his head: "Reluctant, reluctant, I don't know that it will take hundreds of years to produce a demon like you, probably the essence of heaven and earth, the aura of the sun and the moon, if you kill it, I am afraid that God will condemn me Datang, for the Tang Dynasty, no matter what, I am reluctant to kill you, you must live, until you can't live anymore, Suning, this is my promise to you, as long as you don't rebel, you can live forever, and even your children and grandchildren, As long as you don't rebel, you can live and rest with the country. ”
Suning was a little surprised, and he didn't know why Li Erma suddenly gave himself such a generous condition that others could dream of, but he guessed that there was a lot of estimation to pay.
"I don't know what His Majesty wants the minister to do?" Suning asked.
Li Erma nodded: "I just like your kind of cleverness, so I am reluctant to kill you, I am the emperor, I can have a courtier like you, it is my luck, but also the luck of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has today's grand occasion, Suning, half of the credit belongs to you, it doesn't matter if you give you a king, but you must know that I can tolerate you, Chengqian can tolerate you, but after that, it is not necessarily, your descendants, your descendants, your Su family, are not your personal friendship with Chengqian can be decided."
Emperor Taishang is right about one thing, you have no ambition, a courtier like you is what people who are emperors are eager for, so what Emperor Taishang said to you, I even agree with it, give you an edict, give you the right to abolish the emperor, and let you protect the Tang Dynasty, but you are too young, you are only twenty-eight years old, if you are forty-eight years old, I will not hesitate to give you this power, but you are too young, you can't have such power, otherwise, you will not live to be forty-eight years old. ”
Suning said very calmly: "The minister doesn't dare to have the power of Iho, let alone do the things of Iho." ”
Li Ermajesty said: "This is not a question of whether you dare or not, but a question of whether I dare or not, I have been reading your "Zizhi Tongjian", I have been thinking about how to make the Tang Dynasty for thousands of generations, and I have been thinking about why the once prosperous Qin and Han Dynasty would collapse, why is this qiē, but I have never understood, I can't figure it out, the emperor is very strict, but if the courtiers are dedicated to the country, it is not impossible to stop the emperor, Suning, you sue sù me, why. Why can't a family be born for generations? ”
Suning felt that Li Erma's Xià was right at least one point, giving the courtiers the right to abolish the establishment was not a question of whether the courtiers dared to accept it, but a question of whether the emperor dared to give it.
But for thousands of generations, as far as Suning knows, there is only one situation that can be like this. Constitutional monarchy.
But let an emperor like Li Er accept a constitutional monarchy, Suning might as well believe that the earth will be reversed, the end of the world, and let the current Tang Dynasty accept the constitutional monarchy, civil rights and democracy, it is better to directly let the Tang Dynasty collapse.
If the ultimate goal is to establish a constitutional monarchy, and to achieve the final transition in a relatively moderate manner in this long process, it is not completely impossible, nor is it completely impossible. Power has always been in the hands of a family with one surname, so how is that possible? Even if it is a constitutional monarchy, who says that there is no end day? Who said that people wouldn't have a day when they would no longer need an emperor?
"Your Majesty, the ministers really don't know." That's all Suning can say.
Who knew that Li Er's majesty immediately asserted: "You know! But you don't want to sue sù me! His heart can be punished! ”
Su Ning was stunned, knowing that Li Er's keen senses had already detected something, and then regrouped his mentality and said, "Your Majesty is wise, the minister does have some ideas. But for the sake of the minister's own safety and the safety of the minister's family, the minister cannot say. Because if he said it, His Majesty would definitely kill the minister, and it was very likely to implicate his family, but the minister didn't dare to say it. ”
Li Erma opened his mouth and said, "Then what if I must know?" ”
Suning said: "The minister can only choose to inform His Majesty when he is dying, to ensure that no third person knows, so as to ensure the safety of the minister himself." ”
Li Er's majesty raised his eyebrows: "Then there are countless ways for me to lie to you!" and even cheated to death! You'll tell! ”
Suning said: "The minister understands medical skills. His Majesty can't deceive the minister, and if His Majesty dies because of this incident, then the minister will now ask to resign and return to his hometown, become an enlightenment teacher, and then bring this idea into the coffin. There will never be a second person who can know; If His Majesty is still unwilling to let go of the minister, the minister can only leave overnight, sail out to sea, find a paradise, and live his life in peace. ”
Li Erma was stunned, stared at Suning for a long time, and then let out a long sigh, and said: "That's it, that's it, you don't want to say it, and I won't force you, but you have to at least sue me, if I want to make the imperial inheritance stable and calm, and not let the Xuanwu Sect repeat itself, then what should I do?" Be sure to sue sù me! ”
Suning raised his head, looked at Li Erxià, and said very calmly: "This point, His Majesty knows best, isn't it?" If you want to let the throne pass on smoothly, Your Majesty knows best, isn't it? There shouldn't be any need for the minister to say more. ”
Li Er Majesty pursed his lips and asked, "You say." ”
Suning said: "Then I have to ask His Majesty to agree, no matter what the minister says, His Majesty will forgive the minister." ”
Li Er nodded his head: "No matter what you say, you are not guilty, I promise you." ”
Suning said with great confidence: "Your Majesty took the initiative to take the throne, personally helped the prince to the throne, watched him sit firmly on the throne, take charge of the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty was the emperor, and after a few years, the Tang Dynasty was stable." ”
Li Ermajesty didn't speak, and Suning continued: "Since ancient times, the emperor's inheritance status, all of them are inherited after the emperor's death, and after the emperor's death, even the crown prince who has been established long ago is very likely to be opposed by the rest of the princes, so from ancient times to the present, dozens of emperors and monarchs before the pre-Qin dynasty, I don't know how many of them have ruined their reputation because of the inheritance of the emperor's throne, and smooth transitions rarely occur, every time the emperor inherits the throne to shed blood, ministers oppose each other, support those they like, and fight against opponents, There will never be peace in the DPRK and China.
If you take the initiative to take the throne, watch the new emperor ascend the throne, sit firmly on the throne, hold the authority, and cut off the ideas of anyone else, not only can make the court stable and the courtiers do things steadily, but also avoid fratricidal killing, brothers turn against each other, and cause tragedy, but from ancient times to the present, the emperor's Zen position is mostly forced, and there is no willingness, if His Majesty is willing, he will be able to live for a hundred years, if His Majesty allows, the minister will also write the chapter of His Majesty in the "Zizhi Tongjian", which will definitely satisfy His Majesty. ”
After Suning finished speaking, Li Erma pointed to the gate expressionlessly: "Before I regret killing you, get out!" ”
Suning stood up and saluted to Li Erma: "The minister retreats." ”
Leaving Li Erma's dormitory, Suning saw Zhao Chen standing at the door, Zhao Chen looked at Suning expressionlessly, Suning smiled at him and said, "Zhao Chen, give me a ride!" ”
Zhao Chen bent down and nodded, leading the way in front, Suning followed behind, walking and walking, Suning suddenly said: "Zhao Chen, since Wang De, you have been following Your Majesty for more than ten years, do you also think that Your Majesty is already old?" ”
Zhao Chen trembled and stopped, Suning didn't look at Zhao Chen's face, and he didn't care if he said anything, he just walked forward by himself, kept walking forward, and didn't stop. (To be continued......)
