Anyone in a high position is well-informed.
Since Qi Yu and Lu Boxuan were able to obtain this information, Su Liu, who was in charge of the internal defense, was no exception.
The resources of those in power are beyond the reach of ordinary people, and information is one of them.
Similar to Qi Yu's reaction, all parties took the lead in discussing it behind closed doors. The impact of this matter was too great and must not be disclosed to the outside world until a final solution was reached.
There is no harm in being cautious.
Objectively speaking, this phenomenon seems more or less strange.
Logically speaking, Li Liangji's recovery is a happy event for the country, and it should be advertised at home as soon as possible. In order to show the good fortune of the country, a general amnesty should be granted to the whole country, an encore should be established, etc.
In fact, not only did all parties fail to celebrate, they all chose to keep it secret.
It's obvious that they have their own agenda. To put it harshly, they all have their own agenda.
Among these forces, the one who feels the most uncomfortable is undoubtedly Su Liu, but outsiders don't know it.
In the eyes of the people of the country, the empress dowager and the emperor were deeply in love and could be regarded as a model of palace palace. Looking back at the beginning, when the late master fell into a coma due to a serious illness and his life was in danger, it was the Empress Dowager who assisted Meng Lanshan and his disciples in their efforts to save the mountain from collapse. Such love in times of adversity is rarely seen in history.
The love between the emperor and the empress is deeper than the vast ocean.
However, how can outsiders know the real secret?
They would never have dreamed that it was the Empress Dowager Su who they revered so much that caused the late master to fall into a long sleep that lasted for several years.
Su Liu still clearly remembers the dirty tricks he secretly performed during that operation. Although Qi Yu and his niece Sun Qiaoyun did not reveal it afterward, it does not mean that it did not happen.
Now, Li Liangji suddenly wakes up. With his past wisdom and reasoning ability, it is impossible not to find out the clues of this matter. It is only a matter of time before this matter is exposed.
As the old saying goes, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself, and this is indeed the case. How difficult is it to hide it from the public and pretend to be innocent?
How about taking a preemptive strike and trying to get rid of that person?
It's a good idea, but it's hard to make it work.
Nowadays, Nanyang is the core territory of Qi Yu. It is extremely difficult for any black hands to penetrate, and the imperial court is no exception. Unless Mr. Qi himself secretly harbors the idea of regicide, outsiders will never find an opportunity to do it.
or?
Talk to Qi Yu and see if he has such intention?
Yes, let's try his tone first. If we can really win him over to conspire in this matter, all the problems will be solved.
As for the conditions, he will definitely try his best to meet them. Doesn't he want to become the prime minister? All he needs is full support.
However, to her disappointment, Qi Yu did not accept her invitation.
It was as if he had already guessed his intention and chose to avoid it immediately.
Moreover, he specially asked someone to bring back a message saying: Thanks to the great entrustment entrusted to me by the late master and his solemn promise to live up to his country and your country, how can I bear this responsibility as a minister? Moreover, when the Supreme Emperor visited the South Seas, he made a vow to never betray him. These words are really not just what I said casually...
The general meaning is: don't think about evil ways.
Su Liu couldn't help but feel cold after hearing this, and his face was full of confusion.
Compared with the fear of the Empress Dowager, Lu Boxuan seemed much calmer. He calmed down and considered it over and over again, weighing the pros and cons.
After making up his mind, he sent invitations to his followers, asking them to come to the mansion to discuss matters. If there was no urgent matter, they could not be absent.
The time is set for evening.
…
Candlelight shone brightly, and the hall of Lu Mansion was filled with guests.
After shooing away the rest of the crowd, Lu Boxuan finally spoke: "My lords, I have important matters to discuss today, so I am in a hurry to see you. And what I want to talk about is not only related to the national destiny of our Dafeng Dynasty, but also to the future of our country. It also involves the official career of all the gentlemen here, so please be honest in today's discussion and don't mean what you say.
No, perfunctory. "
Everyone's expressions froze when they heard this, and they hurriedly said: "Master Lu, please rest assured, we will never tell lies to fool you!"
Seeing their response, Lu Boxuan nodded with satisfaction. Next, he didn't show off any details and went straight to the topic.
Since we advocate being honest with each other, we must set an example.
He coughed dryly and said seriously: "Do you think that compared with the Supreme Emperor, whose civil and military skills are higher or lower? Oh, by the way, today is a private discussion, out of your mouth and into my ears, absolutely. It will not be known to outsiders, so you can feel free to speak freely."
When the officials saw this, they hurriedly said, "Lu Ge's old words are serious!"
"Okay, let's talk about it!"
"yes……"
Next, everyone expressed their opinions on the comparison between Jin Shang and the Supreme Emperor.
The result was not surprising. It was completely one-sided. All the officials agreed that the First Lord crushed Jin Shang in all aspects.
The details are as follows:
Let’s talk about the Supreme Emperor first. He has great literary talent, is good at painting, calligraphy and calligraphy, and his attainments are quite remarkable. In terms of culture and governance, he vigorously promoted culture and education, paid attention to people's livelihood, and created the prosperous age of Yuan Yun with his extraordinary courage. He was also unambiguous in terms of martial arts. He captured the King of Yan alive, wiped out the two powerful men, expelled the Tartars, and quelled the Japanese invasion, laying a solid foundation for the long-term peace and stability of the country. His talents are as great as those of Emperor Qin and Han Dynasty.
If you look at him today, his writing is vulgar, he is tired of learning and lazy, and until now he can't even write a decent poem. How can he have any literary talent to speak of? In terms of culture and education, he basically had no innovations. He completely inherited the old system and had no so-called highlights. In terms of martial arts, it was even less so. He was almost the laughing stock of the world. In the past, he imitated his father's imperial conquests, but was killed. **Captured alive, this face was thrown overseas! In recent years, if the Empress Dowager had not assisted in the administration, he would probably have failed to handle government affairs properly.
The ability of the two is judged based on their superiority!
Lu Boxuan seemed very satisfied with this result.
After everyone had finished answering, he suddenly asked: "Suppose the Supreme Emperor recovers as before, would you like to welcome him into the court again?"
What did you say?
The Supreme Emperor...is he awake?
All the officials were surprised when they heard this, and their mouths opened like hippopotamuses.
Awakening is not the core content of this statement, but whether he intends to welcome the Supreme Emperor into the court!
Could Master Lu mean that he wants to give the Zen position to Yuan Yun?
If that were the case, the implications would be huge.
In ancient times, during the succession of emperors, some people have heard about father Zen and his son, some have heard about brother Zen and brother, and even some have inherited it from one person to another, but there is no such thing as a son Zen father!
Shicai's words were not only shocking, but also had a sense of weirdness that went against common sense.
Although the Supreme Emperor is a man of great talent and military virtue, he is a hundred times wiser than his son, but this can't be the opposite? As the saying goes, a tiger's poison cannot eat its own children. Such a father-son conflict would be a joke.
The officials were stunned for a long time before they managed to calm down.
What they want to know is, as a wise man, Mr. Lu, how could he come up with such an idea?
