Instigating assassins to assassinate the current prince, there is no way the Chu family can escape being wiped out. This is also detrimental to yourself and your next thoughts. But if this matter was hidden and used as a means to contain the stupid mother and son in Beijing, Huang Qiong would be somewhat unwilling to do so. That pair of self-righteous idiots, mother and son, had caused enough trouble to him, and now his patience with them was about to run out.
This opportunity can be said to be a perfect opportunity to send the mother and son to where they should go. But is this really the best thing for you? Looking at the book on the desk, Huang Qiong stood up and walked around the Wanchun Hall for a long time. Suddenly remembering something, he immediately ordered the eunuch beside him. If Gao Wuyong has not left yet, summon him to Wanchun Hall immediately.
Gao Wuyong, who had just finished breakfast and was packing up to return to Jingzhao, heard Huang Qiong's call and did not dare to delay at all. He almost jogged all the way to Wanchun Palace. When Huang Qiong was about to kowtow, he was grabbed by Huang Qiong. However, Huang Qiong did not speak immediately after that. He just stood there quietly, looking up at the plaque above his head behind his seat.
Huang Qiong's move confused Gao Wuyong, who rushed over in a hurry. But I don't know what happened that made this man call him back after he was about to leave. Gao Wuyong didn't dare to say anything and could only stand quietly with Huang Qiong. Fortunately, Huang Qiong did not keep him confused for too long, and asked about the condition of King Song's grandfather and how he was doing now.
Hearing Huang Qiong's inquiry, although Gao Wuyong did not dare to hide it, he still said cautiously: "Master, before I left the capital, I heard that the old man who was bedridden last year had already taken the medicine a year ago. Nothing is left. I am still alive now because of the old ginseng soup at home and the precious medicinal materials. Maybe this time when I return to Beijing, I will receive news of my death."
Having said this, Gao Wuyong hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Master, although I know that I am just a eunuch, there are things that I shouldn't say. But I feel that you have been away from Beijing for such a long time. You may not know too much about some things in the capital and the palace, but I still want to give you some advice. I think that at this time, the more stable it is, the more beneficial it is to you."
"No matter what the mother and son do or what they plan to do, they can't actually stir up any big troubles. In the palace, there is a giant Buddha like the empress sitting there, and who dares to make a mistake? As for the emperor, he still knows it. Although now, You are a mature person, but you are not confused yet. Now as long as the overall situation is in your hands, even one or two clowns will not be able to make any big waves."
"Master, I would like to remind you. After all, as I get older, I value family ties more. Although the Emperor seems to be fine, in fact, he has not completely recovered from what happened the year before last. Now the Emperor What you are most worried about is that there will be another fratricide behind you? If you really want to deal with that person, I advise you to think about it carefully. "
"What's more, you are far away from the center now, and you are still out of reach of the capital. No matter what he did, it is not the time yet. Before I left the capital this time, the emperor had already wanted to call you back to the capital. The persuasion means that no matter how urgent you are, you don't have to wait for a month or two, right? By that time, even if you don't take action, the emperor may not be able to bear it. "
"Master, the Emperor has not expressed his position regarding your handling of the old Prince Qingyang. After the matter is reported back to the capital, I don't know how the Emperor will make a decision. At this time, your target is turning to the King of Song. Regardless of whether you have a reason for the matter or not, the Emperor They may not be happy there. Of course the emperor doesn’t want to see you drifting with the crowd, but he also doesn’t want to cause any trouble within the Tian family at this time.”
"I advise you to endure for a while. Before you return to the capital, at least before the emperor makes a true statement on your handling of Prince Qingyang. Don't make any fuss about the Tian family and the clan. It doesn’t matter how many corrupt officials you kill, as long as they are guilty of crimes that deserve to be killed, the emperor has granted you this right. But you still need to consider the emperor’s thoughts when it comes to kings and clans.”
Huang Qiong was slightly startled by the eunuch's words. If you think about it carefully, this is also true. Originally in the capital, his control over the government was far from being as arbitrary as he wished. Now that the governor is away, he is even more out of reach of the capital. At this time, if I insist on dealing with King Song, the actual effect will not be as beneficial to me as it seems.
Judging from the influence of the Song Dynasty Grandpa on the civil servants of the DPRK and China, many people would think that they were adding insult to injury, and there were even many who thought that they were taking advantage of others' danger. Although the old man became an official and the career of his sons was not smooth, his influence on civil servants may not be as great as before. But although the centipede was broken, it did not stumble. Their family was still far from truly declining.
Sometimes, since you have the handle in your hands, it is more beneficial to keep it in your hands than to expose it too early. Indeed, just as the eunuch said, no matter how many tricks the Queen of Song and her son tried, they would not be able to shake their status. At most, they would only cause some trouble for themselves. Although having a mother sitting in the palace is annoying, it is nothing more than trouble.
Now that he has such a big handle on the King of Song, it may not be so beneficial to him if he tries too early to show off. Everything is still waiting. It seems better to wait until the grandfather of the Song Dynasty passes away and after he returns to Beijing. If the two women acted too honestly, they might not even have to take action themselves. The old man who had no scruples would deal with him himself.
It seems that my eyelids are still somewhat narrow now. When it comes to dealing with brothers, he is not as far off as this eunuch. It is also this eunuch who can choose him as his personal eunuch general among thousands of eunuchs in the two capitals and four palaces. If this eunuch really does not have certain vision and skills, I am afraid that he will not be so valued by the old man and entrusted to him again and again. He has a heavy responsibility.
You must know that although the eunuch in charge of Wende Hall is not high in rank and status in the palace, his position is quite crucial. Because he is serving none other than the current emperor, and he can be said to be the emperor's personal minister. Not to mention the officials from Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province, even if they looked down on this eunuch in their hearts, they would say it on the surface, and they would not offend him easily.
Even among the eunuchs in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, no matter how high their rank was, who would dare to offend him? Even when you see him, you still have to be submissive. Otherwise, if he casually said something in the emperor's ear, the position might belong to someone. How can this position be accessible to ordinary people? If you don't have a certain vision and quick wit, even if the emperor personally removes the emperor, he may not be able to sit still.
Gao Wuyong is also a personal servant of the old man. I am afraid that even his son may not understand some of the old man's thoughts. After pondering for a long time, Huang Qiong turned around, cupped his hands to Gao Wuyong and said, "That's what Mr. Gao is persuading. I'm still a bit worried about my temperament. Thanks to Mr. Gao for reminding me, otherwise I would have been in trouble in this matter." You can’t fight alone.”
In response to Huang Qiong's thanks, Gao Wuyong hurriedly bowed and said: "Master, you must not do this. You are the master, and if you do this, you will kill the slave. These slaves are just doing their duty as a slave. You are the master, Being able to listen to what the slave says is already a great kindness to the slave. How can the slave deserve the gratitude of the master? The master must never say such words again. "
Having said this, Gao Wuyong looked at Huang Qiong's calm face, hesitated for a moment and then said: "If the master has nothing else to do, I will return to the capital now. I am the eunuch in charge of the Wende Palace. We are in Beijing according to the order, but after all, as a minister, it is not suitable to stay outside for a long time. The servant has to rush back to serve the emperor. Besides, the sooner the servant returns to the capital, the more beneficial it will be to the master."
After Gao Wuyong's farewell, Huang Qiong did not try to persuade him to stay. After Gao Wuyong left, Huang Qiong felt that the affairs of the Chu family could no longer be delayed. If the Chu family doesn't deal with it, those officials won't deal with it. After thinking for a while, Huang Qiong came to Tongming Gate alone without anyone, where the Chu family was imprisoned. After Huang Qiong's last order, the detention conditions of the Chu family have been greatly improved.
Seeing the prince coming, he wasn't that panicked anymore. Huang Qiong ignored the other people and went directly to the room where Uncle Chu was imprisoned. Looking at Mr. Chu, who he hadn't seen for several days and whose appearance suddenly looked much older, Huang Qiong, who thought he had said enough before, simply got straight to the point: "In the past few days, I don't know what Mr. Chu's opinion is about me. How are you thinking?
"It's time for this matter to be settled, and I don't want to delay it any longer. After all, everyone's patience is limited, and naturally this matter cannot continue to be so confused. Mr. Da can certainly afford it. Although I may not really be able to afford it, I don’t want to spend it any more. Where the Chu family will go from now on depends on Mr. Chu Da’s decision.”
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, Uncle Chu raised his head, looked at the current prince in front of him, shook his head and said: "Prince, you don't tell lies in front of real people. Although you are the current prince, you want Chu It may not be that easy to exterminate a family. In any case, the imperial court still has the constraints of the Three Laws Department, and it has to be reviewed by the Zhongshu Province, and finally it needs to be approved by the emperor before it can be implemented. "
"After these passes, who knows how long it will take. Who knows how the situation will change by then? But if the King of Shu knows about this, don't think he has already left the Western Regions now. All the public forces in the court have disappeared, but if I try to destroy the entire Chu family, I’ll forgive you for my distasteful words, I might be able to do it faster and more decisively than you can.”
"Although the Chu family is involved in the assassination of the prince, after all, those people were killed by you, and there is no witness. If it comes to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, I will not admit it even if I am beaten to death. Even if you have the letter from King Song to me, you will not admit it. What can he do? He wrote a letter and returned it, but the Chu family did not execute it, so he did not violate the "Da Qi Law". As for befriending the prince as a businessman, it seems that the Song King may have a greater responsibility."
"Although I am a businessman, I am still relatively well-informed in the court. To be honest, I have noticed you since you suppressed the rebellion in Zhengzhou. Because from then on, I knew that if In the future, there will be someone who competes with the King of Shu for the throne, and I am afraid it must be you. As for the former prince, I have been in contact with him before, but he is nothing more than a greedy and arrogant idiot."
"Compared with the King of Shu, there is really a big difference. Even though he was still in the position of prince at that time, it was only a matter of time before he was taken down by the King of Shu. You can achieve the same status as the King of Shu within half a year of leaving the palace. It shows that you are definitely an extraordinary person. Although I am not interested in the intrigues between the princes, whether the King of Shu can eventually ascend to the throne is related to the future of the Chu family. "
