dream of red mansion

Page 487

All the ministers shouted long live again, but they just looked up, and there was no shadow of Emperor Zhengqing.

At this time, everyone's hearts were fluctuating greatly, so few of them talked to their colleagues, shook their heads, and walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

A few people walked up to He Shanbao who had been kneeling for a long time, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Shoufu, congratulations, Mr. Shoufu..."

He Shanbao stood up with a complex expression, without any trace of rejoicing for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, he replied with a light smile, then turned and left.

"Qing'er, why don't you leave?"

It was Jia Zheng's voice. After seeing the crowd leave, Jia Qing, who was still standing there in a daze, stepped forward and called out.

Jia Qing raised his head, looked at Jia Zheng's concerned expression, nodded, and followed him out of the hall.

"What happened to you?"

On the way out of the imperial city, Jia Zheng saw that Jia Qing was always out of his mind, so he couldn't help asking again.

Jia Qing stopped, and suddenly said: "Second Uncle, why do you think the Supreme Emperor wants to issue such an imperial edict?"

Jia Zheng was stunned.He didn't understand the court affairs as well as Jia Qing, even Jia Qing couldn't figure it out, so how could he know.

"Perhaps, the Supreme Emperor just issued such an imperial edict because he learned that his courtiers were colluding with bandits and collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country."

After hearing Jia Zheng's plain words, Jia Qing realized that asking Jia Zheng for advice on political affairs was like playing the piano to a cow.

Besides, Jia Qing would soon be able to figure out the meaning of the Supreme Emperor's move.What caused him to lose his mind was not why the Supreme Emperor issued this imperial decree, but...

What should he do?At the beginning, he had said that if there were any evil people among the fifty or sixty Bailian bandit chiefs, he would guarantee to save their lives. Now that the Supreme Emperor has made this decree, how can he protect these people's lives! ?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Old Cui Ge, you should go back first, His Majesty will not see you."

Daming Palace, outside the Linjing Gate, Dai Quan walked out helplessly, and said to the anxious Cui Wenlong.

Cui Wenlong is very worried now, worried about the state of Emperor Zhengqing.He wanted to go in and give advice, but after waiting for more than half an hour, Emperor Zhengqing still didn't want to see him.

"Director Dai, are you okay looking at His Majesty's face?"

Dai Quan smiled wryly and shook his head, "Old Cui Ge, you should go back, why bother touching your eyebrows at this time?"

Everyone knew that Emperor Zhengqing must be in a very, very bad mood right now. Even Shui Rong, Zhao Qian and the others had disappeared, but Cui Wenlong was not afraid of offending Longyan at all, so he insisted on coming to see him this time.

Seeing that it was impossible, Cui Wenlong had no choice but to say: "Please take care of Chief Dai and take care of Your Majesty, and I will leave first."

"Mr. Cui Ge, walk slowly."

Alas, Cui Wenlong sighed softly, turned and left.

……

On the way back, Jia Qing parted ways with Jia Zheng and went to Fangfu.

"Second Master, Master is here to invite you."

Fang Shou seemed to have expected that Jia Qing would come to him, and when he got off his horse, the steward of the Fang Mansion immediately stepped forward and led Jia Qing to Fang Shou's study.

"The disciple has seen the master!"

"sit down."

"Yes."

So Jia Qing sat down on the chair next to him.

"But have doubts?" Fang Shou said straight to the point.

Jia Qing nodded. In front of Fang Shou, he didn't have to pretend to be deep. If there was anything he didn't understand, he always asked for advice.

"The Supreme Emperor's move has greatly reduced His Majesty's prestige, and it will be very detrimental to His Majesty's future control over the court. Why did the Supreme Emperor do this?"

Fang Shou wanted to take this opportunity to test Jia Qing, so he asked, "You really don't know the reason?"

Jia Qing said: "On the surface, the Supreme Emperor seems to be protecting He Shanbao..."

Indeed, on the surface, the Supreme Emperor personally ordered all the people to be killed, so the case would naturally be closed, and no one could go any further.The result of this is that the emperor no longer has any evidence to attack He Shanbao.

Fang Shou smiled and said, "Oh, on the surface? Don't you think that's not the case?"

Jia Qing shook his head and asserted: "He Shanbao is not qualified."

There is no need to say more about the emperor's face and He Shanbao's wealth and life, which is more important.It is even more unreasonable to protect He Shanbao by losing the emperor's face. In ancient times, such a thing has never been heard.The Supreme Emperor wanted to protect He Shanbao, there were too many ways to choose, but why did he choose the most drastic way?

Fang Shou looked at Jia Qing with admiration, suddenly became serious, and said seriously: "It's good that you can understand this... You don't need to think about this matter, it has nothing to do with you, just don't get involved, it's already It’s not just a matter of government.”

Jia Qing was silent.He has his own opinion on this matter, and now he has confirmed his opinion after listening to Fang Shou's words.

If you look at this matter horizontally, it's actually not that complicated. In simple words, Emperor Zhengqing's strides are too big, and it's getting involved in the balls...

After getting rid of He Shanbao, the situation in the court immediately changed drastically!As soon as He Shanbao fell, it was foreseeable that there would be a big reshuffle in the DPRK and China.

He Shanbao's family will surely fall a lot, and the power of the emperor's direct line will inevitably increase greatly. Those who were originally vacillating or even the Supreme Emperor will see that the Supreme Emperor really ignores everything, and they will definitely follow the trend to Emperor Zhengqing. The era when Emperor Qing ruled alone...

At that time, whether the Supreme Emperor can still maintain the current deterrent force is not certain.It cannot be said that there is no family relationship between father and son in the Tian family, but it must be suppressed under the imperial power.

It can be said that the Taishang Emperor suppressed Emperor Zhengqing this time. After this, Emperor Zhengqing was far away from the days when he was in power alone.

It can also be seen that the Supreme Emperor did not ignore everything, he was just tired and wanted to take a break, so he asked Emperor Zhengqing to sit in the office for him and become the general manager, while the chairman was himself.

This time, Emperor Zhengqing seemed to have crossed the line, so the Supreme Emperor made a move!

This is the most reasonable explanation.

However, it was too cruel to Emperor Zhengqing.

Because, he may not have thought of usurping power, nor did he use any tricks, but the Supreme Emperor reminded him fiercely, who is the real master of the world.

If Emperor Zhengqing is still the prince, or even the prince, that's all.However, he is a justifiable son of heaven, this kind of humiliation is very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.

At this time, Jia Qing didn't have much energy to guess the emperor's mood, and he was also in an absolute predicament.

Originally, the head and deputy head of the White Lotus Sect were all sent to the capital as witnesses, and he also reported to Emperor Zhengqing the promise he made when he subdued and persuaded these people to surrender.Although Emperor Zhengqing didn't approve, but with the credit he made, Emperor Zhengqing didn't care about these reckless life and death, how could he be happy not to show mercy?

However, now that the emperor's imperial decree was issued, it became a deadlock in an instant.

"Master, I don't want to get involved in right and wrong right now, so it's best to avoid it. However, if you dare to ask Master, is there any way to avoid the death of those leaders of the White Lotus Sect? At least, let them not be villains. The wicked are spared.
