Chapter 545: Not Rare at All
This roar can be regarded as completely revealing Emperor Showa's selfishness and jealousy in front of his own son.
And Zhao Ling finally heard with his own ears the crazy jealousy and narrow-mindedness buried in his own father's heart, it turned out that in the heart of Emperor Showa, he was so inferior, he was envious of Chu Yi, and he was madly jealous of the Chu family's father and son.
Why did he think this way? You must know that he is a dignified son of heaven, even if Chu Yi has made great achievements, he is just a courtier in the hands of the Son of Heaven; How ridiculous must it be that a dignified king is jealous of a courtier?
After Emperor Showa shouted that sentence, he first felt that his whole body was comfortable, unprecedented comfort, as if he had been holding a breath of depression in his heart, holding it for many years, and finally today, he spit it out freely.
However, while he felt happy, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and when he raised his head sharply and looked at Zhao Ling, he knew why he felt bad.
Because, he saw an unbelievable expression on his son's face; The next moment, Emperor Showa felt bad, he didn't control it, and told the inner selfishness that he had been carefully hiding all along.
But now, no matter how much he regrets, it's too late, because he let his beloved son listen to what he should say and what he shouldn't say, and if he explains and covers up too much at this time, he will make himself like a clown.
Therefore, Emperor Showa simply didn't do anything, raised his head and looked at Zhao Ling in a dignified manner, showing him the darkest side of his heart.
Zhao Ling looked at Emperor Showa in surprise, and looked at him with his eyebrows twisted: "Father, are you jealous of the Jingbei Hou family?" Why? What do they have to make you jealous? β
Emperor Showa knew that his clever son had seen his ulterior secret, and since this was the case, he did not hide it, and said: "Yes, I am jealous of him, jealous of him Chu Yi!" In the thirty years since I ascended the throne, when I first began to rule the world, the Northern Mongolian iron cavalry invaded the border of the Great Wei again and again, at that time, the government was chaotic, the border was unstable, I lived in panic and fear day and night, every night, I woke up from a nightmare, and I always dreamed that the iron cavalry of the Northern Mongolian people stepped into the capital and broke into the palace, and those barbarians strangled my neck with white silk and strangled me to death on this dragon chair; When I first ascended the throne of the Son of Heaven, I lived in torment and nightmares day and night, I was afraid that I couldn't sleep at night, and during the day I was even more afraid of hearing the eight-hundred-mile urgent twist and turn, no one could understand the despair in my heart at that time, and my life was worse than death. β
"But just when I was so desperate that I felt that I couldn't survive, Chu Yi appeared, he was a natural warrior, a brave and handsome talent, he took the soldiers of Great Wei to repel the iron cavalry of Northern Mongolia, so that the iron cavalry of Northern Mongolia no longer dared to laugh at the Three Kingdoms, let alone invade the border of my Great Wei; At that time, I felt that Chu Yi's appearance must be God's curtain on me, and God must have heard my plea, so he found such a hero who could protect Great Wei and let him help me and assist me. But then I learned that Chu Yi was my biggest nightmare. β
"Chu Yi is stationed in Qingzhou, with the strongest troops of the Great Wei in his hands, those soldiers are loyal to him, and the people of Qingzhou are even more praiseful to him; Do you know? In Qingzhou, and even in the hearts of the people of the world, his prestige of Chu Yi is even higher than that of me, the son of heaven; In the hearts of many people, Chu Yi is the patron saint who can protect the people of Great Wei, and I am just an incompetent monarch who sits on a dragon chair and is good-looking. There were many voices in the court accusing Chu Yi, and I thought of myself when I heard those voices, because I knew very well what those who said bad things about Chu Yi were thinking, and they were like me, crazy jealousy and envy of that man; Although he is not in the court or in the capital, he is an existence that cannot be ignored in everyone's heart. Among the generals in the court, there are also many people who are on Chu Yi's side, Ling Er, you have gone to the border and grew up in the military camp, you should have heard about a lot of Chu Yi's heroic deeds; Hearing the longing in those people's eyes when they talked about Chu Yi, how did you feel in your heart? Have you ever thought that your father is the Son of Heaven, why do the soldiers only worship him Chu Yi Lingding in their mouths, and do not mention me at all? Hearing this, seeing this, do you know how I feel in my heart, and how sad my heart should be?! β
Looking at the mention of Emperor Showa with Chu Yi's hideous and crazy expression, Zhao Ling knew that his dissatisfaction with Chu Yi had long been buried deep in his heart, and before, he could still be controlled, but with the accumulation of time, after more and more dissatisfaction, it finally broke out under the impact of a certain point in time.
How much Emperor Showa suppressed himself at the beginning, how big the backlash would be after the outbreak; Today, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he really couldn't believe that in his father's heart, Chu Yi would have had such a deep influence on him.
"Father, by your side, no one is forcing you all the time, and the only person who has always forced you is yourself. Chu Yi is a handsome talent, he repelled the iron cavalry of Beimeng, he made outstanding achievements, the people of the world and the soldiers praised him well, this is what he deserves, you can't envy his ability to fight just because the general you reuse can fight; In other words, if it weren't for Chu Yi's appearance, your nightmares might really come true, do you want these nightmares to really befall you? β
Emperor Showa breathed sluggishly, and looked at Zhao Ling with round eyes.
Zhao Ling continued: "I know that when a person's inner demon arises, it is almost difficult to eradicate this inner demon; Father, your demons have been living with you for nearly thirty years, and your sons are not naΓ―ve enough to rely on a few words to persuade you to let go; But the only thing Erchen can do now is not to watch your father continue to be confused. β
He told his son all the sorrows hidden in his heart, but he didn't expect that his son sent him away with the simple word 'confused' after hearing his secret.
Emperor Showa was stunned, his eyes flashing with madness: "Ling'er, you are the prince, the future son of Great Wei, you and I are in the same position, don't you understand me?" Don't understand my trepidation? I don't understand why I have to attack the Jingbei Hou Mansion?! β
Zhao Ling looked at his biological father, who was described as a little crazy, and felt that he had never really known the Ninety-Five Venerable in front of him; Once his impression of his father was cold and cold, but after going through a lot, he sat in the position he got his wish, and he also received his father's love; At that time, he had the impression that his father was loving and gentle.
Unexpectedly, these are just one aspect of Emperor Showa's performance, the real Emperor Showa is more paranoid and scheming than anyone imagines.
Thinking of his ruthless attitude towards the Jiang family and the Su family, it is not difficult to see that he is really a grudge; But he didn't expect that Chu Yi would be hated by him, that was a man with supreme merits to Dawei, he would be jealous of this man who protected his family because of jealousy.
In Zhao Ling's heart, even a thought had already arisen; His father may have been glorious and graceful, but after decades of inner torture and torment, even he didn't notice that his inner world had begun to distort; Now, it's not just his body that is in tatters, it's his heart that is in tatters.
Facing Emperor Showa's persistent eyes, Zhao Ling directly expressed his attitude: "It is precisely because the sons and sons are in the same position as their fathers that they know that what you are doing is wrong, father." What about the Chu family's father and son's outstanding achievements? If you die, you can only be a rich and noble minister, and you will never be able to go beyond the head of your sons. The Son of Heaven sits in a high hall, and the power of grace is given to the four seas, what about the people of Qingzhou who respect Chu Yi? The people will only praise Chu Yi, the Marquis of Jingbei, and they dare not say that Chu Yi will replace the Son of Heaven. Why the people of the world only know Chu Yi but not you, these are just speculations you have imagined; If Chu Yi is really a wolf, if you think of him like this, he deserves it, but Chu Yi has been guarding Qingzhou in peace all these years, and if you think of him like this, you are deducting him from a trumped-up charge, this kind of faint behavior is simply despicable to the extreme. β
"Father, what you really fear in your heart is not the Marquis of Jingbei in real life, but a Marquis of Jingbei that you have fictionalized; Are you afraid that the Jingbei Marquis Mansion will rebel with heavy troops, but in real life, did the Marquis of Jingbei rebel? Not only did he not rebel, but he also sent his son and daughter under your nose with confidence, why would he do this? It's not because he believes in you; But what about you? Are you worthy of the trust he places in you? Yes, Jun let the ministers die and the ministers have to die, but please give the sons a reason why the Marquis of Jingbei should die, and persuade the sons and daughters, I'm afraid you can't think of such a reason in your mind. β
"You have always lived carefully, as you say, even when you sit on the dragon chair and tremble day and night, and it is this fear, which has no beginning, that gradually dominates you; You are suspicious of meritorious people and desire to be in control of everything to make yourself feel safe; You say that everything is for me, but you ask yourself, is it really all for your sons? β
The corners of Zhao Ling's mouth pursed a ridiculous smile, his eyes were like cold stars, and he looked at Emperor Showa: "You criticized the general for your own selfishness for the sake of your sons?" Are you provoking the relationship between your husband and wife because of your likes and dislikes for the sake of your sons? You let Lao Qi get involved in this turbid whirlpool because of selfishness, and use him to hurt me, also for the sake of your sons? Father, if you are doing all this for the good of your sons, then please forgive your sons for not being filial, these 'good' sons of yours are really not uncommon at all. β
