Huang Qiong looked at Wen Taiyi who was kneeling on the ground with sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything. Although he lowered his head, he could feel Huang Qiong's cold, but murderous eyes looking at Wen Taiyi. Although it's not obvious, he can't help but tremble slightly. Although he said nothing, it was at this moment that he felt what was truly terrifying about this young emperor.
He was able to transform from Huang Qiong who lived in the cold palace for many years and did not leave the palace until he was eighteen years old. Fighting through the siege among many brothers and reaching the point where he is today is definitely not in vain. This kind of mind alone, the ability to deduce the trajectory of events, has never been found in other princes. Thinking of this, Wen Tai could only sigh in his heart: "It is really God's destiny and cannot be changed by human beings."
But Huang Qiong ignored what he was thinking. While constantly sneering, he said in an extremely cold tone: "When the overall situation has been decided, you are announcing my death. As for why you chose to be the deposed prince instead of the king of Shu. The reason is also very simple, just because of the current foundation The useless prince will make it easier for you to achieve your goals and easier for you to control."
"The King of Shu has worked hard over the years, using a lot of money to spread a dense network in the court. He has internal and external connections, and I don't know how much power he has secretly created. It's you, Nan, who has power over the government and the public, and has eyes and ears all over the government and the government. I'm afraid all the commanders and envoys of the Zhenfu Division are quite taboo. If you support the King of Shu to ascend to the throne, I'm afraid he won't be able to control you honestly. You secretly escorted the King of Shu to escape to the Western Regions."
"You are just worried that if the King of Shu is here, you will not be able to sit still even if you appoint him as the deposed prince. Moreover, he is far away in the Western Regions now, and it is too late to rush back. Therefore, your final choice is to depose the prince. Because he was deposed earlier. The foundation that he worked so hard to build has been completely disintegrated long ago when he was deposed. If you appoint him as emperor, he can only rely on you as your direct uncle, and it will be easier for you to control."
"With your thoughts and methods, within a few years, all the people in this court will be yours. This world will also become yours. As for why you chose this time, the reason is simpler. Then The Jiangnan Rebellion has been largely defeated. For the rest, as long as there are no major changes, and there are no major problems such as rebellion among the generals such as Cao Rui in front, the overall situation is settled."
"You are a master who knows how to pick up big bargains. The rebel king has reached the point of jumping over the wall in a hurry, and there is no big trouble left. Now that Yanshan Prefecture is invaded by the invaders, Beiliao has exhausted all its remaining strength, and is heartbroken from top to bottom. Retreat. No matter how you change, nothing will happen. But what I am a little confused about is that you are so confident that after my death, the generals at all levels in front will not change because of this? "
After Huang Qiong spoke with disdain, Wen Taiyi pondered for a moment and then smiled bitterly and said: "I know, you used the gang of robbers and thieves under King Yong to find out this matter. It was also me. I was careless, I didn’t expect that those robbers and thieves under King Yong could be so capable. They could investigate an incident thirty years ago so clearly."
"I underestimated you even more. You actually have such ability. Just through my life experience, I can deduce these things clearly. Yes, I did have the idea of being an emperor. Because I know that only by gaining the great power of heaven Only by having rights can I ensure that my family and my son will not suffer what I have experienced. And in this world, there is no greater right than the emperor."
"When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses and shed blood for thousands of miles. No family in this world will prosper forever. What about the Wen family? It can be regarded as a famous and noble family, but in the face of power, it is different and completely destroyed? That sister of mine , I suffered so much with the Supreme Emperor, but because of my humble background, what did my family get? He was just a third-grade military attache, but he was not hereditary."
"After she died and the prince was deposed, the entire family quickly lost the trust of the emperor. Even my eldest brother found it difficult to even enter the palace to meet the emperor. My sister, before she died, she begged the emperor so many times to give her mother's family a false promise. The title, but your father kept pushing it away. Until my sister passed away, she was not even granted the title of viscount. She was still a third-rank military attaché with only a salary."
"Ren Zou Cha Liang was performed so realistically by your Tianjia family. It was even so real that people couldn't believe that that man was so loving with my sister when she was alive. After that incident, I I swore that I would become a strong person and protect my family from being wronged like this again. And if you want to become an absolute strong person, there is nothing better than being an emperor."
"What's more, this world can only be won by the virtuous. Those stupid pigs in your Huang family have been able to be emperors for hundreds of years, so why can't I? Your analysis is good. I really want to use Guilin to The prince's hand will get rid of you, and then support the deposed prince to succeed to the throne. What your grandfather could do back then, I can do the same. Besides, with Nanzhen Fusi's power, it is easy to control the Supreme Emperor."
"As long as I control the Supreme Emperor, whoever I support comes to power, isn't it just a word? By getting rid of you through the hands of traitors, the impact can be minimized and will not affect my next plan. The regicide can also be postponed. To the traitor king. Anyway, even a fool can see the decline of the rebel army. With the traitor king as a person, it is understandable that a dog will jump over the wall in a desperate situation. "
"Of course the best thing is to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Unfortunately, there are two things I didn't expect about you. Your mother is actually the famous Ice Rakshasa, and you are also a martial arts master. With your mother here, I am afraid that the sent No matter how many people come to assassinate you, the hope of success will not be too great. And what I didn't expect is that you can clearly judge my thoughts from every detail. "
"I know that you are very smart. Not to mention the four sons of my sister, none of your abilities can compare with you. Even all the sons of the Supreme Emperor combined, I am afraid they are no match for you. But I didn't expect , your ability is so powerful, you can judge the context of the whole thing just through some clues. Although you didn't hit everything, it's not far from the truth."
Huang Qiong ignored Wen Taiyi's answer: "Since I have already judged those things about you, there is no need for you to bring me those high hats. What I am asking you now is, where are you going? Are you sure that if there is a change in the capital, the frontline generals will not repeat themselves? You know, once one of the frontline generals betrays him, the Jiangnan war situation will immediately bring disaster to Xiao Qiang."
"After all, you have worked so hard to set up this situation for such a long time, and you will never allow any big problems to occur at this time. If something goes wrong at this time, wouldn't it mean that you have exhausted all your agencies and made a wedding dress for others? Is that so? Wen Taiyi, I don’t want to know anything else about you right now, I just want to know where your confidence comes from. I don’t believe that those generals would be so honest.”
"You are dead, there is no doubt about it. I will not allow anyone who wants to assassinate me to be alive. What's more, how many nets have you secretly laid out over the years by using the power of Nanzhen Fusi? You How many confidants have you cultivated in Nanzhen Fusi? Unless you die, whoever takes my position will have trouble sleeping and eating. But you said that I can promise you to let your family members go."
"I can leave them a way to live without killing them, and I won't embarrass them too much. I will not announce your crime to the world, and will hide it for you. Because you are shameless, the Supreme Emperor will still want you Face. If you still want to continue to deceive me, you can arrange coffins for them now. For the crimes you have committed, it would be too much for me to destroy your nine tribes. "
At this point, looking at Wen Taiyi, who was still hesitant, and Huang Qiong, whose patience was exhausted, he said coldly: "I can give you a day. Write it down when you think about it. After tomorrow, At that time, I won’t give you any chance to say anything. You can just take those things and the lives of your family and children and go to hell together. You should know my character."
Huang Qiong finished her words and was about to step out when Wen Taiyi's voice came from behind: "If I tell the truth, will you really let my family go? Although I have conflicts with you, but you are now As the king of a country, if you have no words, you, as the emperor, should know. If you can promise not to pursue my family members, I can tell you what I will do to those people."
Huang Qiong did not answer this guy's words. Just looking at him with a pair of bright eyes, until Wen Taiyi felt a little guilty, he murmured: "Actually, the way I can control them from rebounding is nothing to put it bluntly. They are their family members, and now They are all under my surveillance. Even around them now, there are my people secretly monitoring them."
"When the time comes, if they don't listen to me, I can not only threaten them with their family members, but also get rid of them if necessary. The families of Cao Rui and Zhao Wuye are now in my hands. Yu Mingyuan and Ouyang Shan's My family and the entire house are also under my surveillance. As for Guo Chen, he is from a noble family. As long as it doesn't matter their life or death, they won't care who becomes the emperor."
"I know that when Guo Chen was in Zhengzhou, he had already recognized you as his master in private. After returning to Beijing, you have been controlling the Xiaoqi camp through him. But even if Guo Chen is loyal to you, in the face of the interests of the entire family, He also has to surrender. What's more, if you are alive, he may be loyal to you. But if you die, in front of you and the family, they, the sons of the aristocratic family, will choose the family. "
Wen Taiyi's unexpected answer made Huang Qiong frown: "Is it that simple for you to control their methods? You placed people around them to monitor me. I know. This has been the practice of the Qi army since the Taizong period. The generals will lead the army. When we go on an expedition, we will be monitored by people from Nanzhen Fusi. But I have already taken the families of Cao Rui and Zhao Wusha to Beijing and settled them, so how could they be in your hands?"
Huang Qiong's questioning voice fell, but Wen Taiyi gave him a strange look, then laughed and said: "I thought you were really a genius, but now I see that your understanding of people's hearts is nothing more than that. This matter It seems complicated, but it’s actually that simple. The reason is very simple, they may be loyal to you as long as you are alive. But you are dead, then who are they loyal to and not loyal to? "
"They are both military generals, but Ouyang Shan and Guo Chen are both from aristocratic families. For them, family interests are above all else. All the dirty things about their family are in my hands. Including everyone in their family Your head is basically under my control. If you really die, even if they don’t want to listen to the new king, do they really not want the whole family’s head?”
"As for Cao Rui and Zhao Wusha, you took their family members into the capital as soon as the war broke out. But the arrangement was not as careful as that of Mr. Liu's family members. The whole family is yours. Even if I want to penetrate, I can't penetrate. Because the wives of those two families have not had an affair with your Majesty the Emperor. There is no need to often accompany you in private trysts to hide the eyes and ears of others. "
