821, Without trust, how can loyalty be found
For the first time, someone questioned the emperor like this.
Apart from Gu Qianxue, who is like a lunatic, who else dares to question the emperor of a country
Gu Qianxue is not a good courtier at all, and she doesn't want to beg the emperor, "Let's not talk about monarchs and ministers, just father and son. After these poor princes were born, what else did they get besides the seemingly luxurious but hidden danger status? My mother fights with others, and my father doesn’t trust anyone. Where does the mother’s love come from? Where’s the father’s love? If it were me, I would rather be born in an ordinary family and accept my father’s trust and mother’s love than be born in a royal family. your son."
"Perhaps you will ask the emperor, why are these idiots not loyal? Without trust and respect, how can there be loyalty and loyalty? Because you don't trust them, so they don't trust you either, whether it's a prince or a courtier, They don't believe that you will be treated well if you help them wholeheartedly, and that's exactly what it is."
"Don't talk about others, just my grandfather Marshal Zhao. He has no son, let alone a wife and concubine. His love is given to his only daughter, his loyalty is given to you, the emperor, and his life is dedicated to the country. What did he get in the end? ? Was slandered, framed, and finally became a victim of the prince's struggle."
"Your majesty, you don't need to put on that innocent expression, you are not innocent. Ask your conscience, what was your first thought when you learned of your grandfather's crime? Is it shock or suspicion? No! You are plagiarism." Congratulations! You can't wait for Grandpa to really collude with the enemy country, because the crime is proven, and the Zhao family army is yours!"
"However, let's not talk about grandpa's crimes. The Zhao family army is already at your fingertips. Do you want more? Is it really possible to maximize profits by killing chickens and taking eggs?"
"Your Majesty should understand a truth at this age. You will be rewarded if you give. If you don't give trust and sincerity, how can you get loyalty in return? No, you can't get it. Although you don't want to admit it, you are already truly lonely. !"
"enough."
Suddenly, a hoarse voice interrupted Gu Qianxue's angry words, but it was not the emperor, but Lu Weilou.
Under the tulle of the veiled hat, Lu Weilou stared at Gu Qianxue reproachfully with cold eyes, and Qianxue knew what Lu Weilou wanted to say.
Loyalty is harsh to the ear, and those who say it will not end well, especially a suspicious, selfish and arrogant person like the emperor of Nanyue Kingdom.
Gu Qianxue knew these reasons, but she still wanted to say that she was complaining for these poor princes and courtiers.
The emperor's face was embarrassing, and the majestic emperor of a country was taught by a yellow-haired girl in front of everyone. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he knew in his heart that Gu Qianxue was telling the truth.
"Qianxue, are you disappointed in me?" But she asked such a question.
Gu Qianxue smiled, "If you say you're not disappointed, the emperor will not believe it, right?"
Of course I don't believe it.
Qianxue continued to explain, "I'm not disappointed. Only a few real enlightened emperors have emerged in a thousand years of history? Thank God that the emperor is not a fool. As for some shortcomings of the emperor... no one is perfect, so I can only explain it this way." After a pause, He added, "Your majesty, you have too much power and too little responsibility. Today, you lost yourself on the throne of the emperor. Another person may be far inferior to you."
After hearing such words, the emperor calmed down a lot. He looked at Gu Qianxue carefully, and seeing his serious expression and sincere eyes, he believed it.
The emperor sighed, "If there are any deficiencies, Qianxue will just say so next time."
Gu Qianxue smiled, but said in her heart—forget it, I have to say it today, if I say a few more words in normal times, maybe your old man will be arrested and slaughtered one day if he is unhappy, even if he doesn’t, he will be punished with dozens of boards It is also very painful.
It is difficult to be a loyal minister, and it is even more difficult to be an admonisher.
She is too lazy to be these things.
Suddenly, Gu Qianxue's eyes turned cold, "The emperor quickly put on the veil!" As she said, she reached out to help the emperor put on the veil and straightened the tulle.
"Why?" The emperor was puzzled.
But I saw that a group of people entered from the main gate of the barracks, without squinting.
Such a group of people, dressed richly, arrogantly, defiantly.
The first few people riding tall horses were none other than Xue Xufeng and Zhang Mowu.
Xue Xufeng glanced in Gu Qianxue's direction, seeing no familiar faces, he didn't bother to pay attention, and went deep into the barracks.
After their figures gradually disappeared, the emperor asked, "Who are they?"
Gu Qianxue looked at the direction where the figure was gradually disappearing, and said sarcastically, "The one in the official uniform is a white-eyed wolf named Zhang Mowu raised by my grandfather. In other words, Zhang Mowu thought that the Zhao family army was not his, and couldn't wait any longer, and he worked hand in hand with Prime Minister Pei, taking advantage of his grandfather's poisoning, and seized the power of the barracks. As for the other person... oh, he must be an old acquaintance of mine."
"Who is it?" the emperor asked.
"That man used to be the servant of Prime Minister Pei's second daughter, Pei Yurui, and became a housekeeper after he arrived at Gu Shangshu's mansion. Later, he and Pei Yurui ... the same Auntie Pei who committed adultery at the beginning, and were kicked out of the mansion together. , so he simply promised Aunt Pei to him, this person is Xue Xufeng, and he sent all the messages the emperor received in the capital."
The emperor's face was gloomy, "That is to say, this is the one who really deceives others?"
"It's not just deception." Qianxue frowned, "It's a long story."
"Tell me and listen." The emperor asked.
"It's just something about the back house," Qian Xue said, "Mr. Pei is a pig brain. Since she is married to Xue Xufeng, she should live a good life. However, she is domineering and defiant in Xue's residence, holding the second daughter of the Pei family." Xue Xufeng didn't want to be airy, and later, Mrs. Pei fell ill."
"Sick?"
Qianxue's eyes were filled with sarcasm, "Yeah, it's the same disease as Concubine Qin's."
The emperor was furious, "Poisoned again?"
Qianxue smiled without saying a word.
"Is this Xue Xufeng's poison?" The emperor asked, "But who gave him the poison? Why does the poison from Chu Yan Kingdom appear frequently in Nanyue Kingdom? Is there any conspiracy?"
"Poisoning is the identity of the person, I can't be sure, but there is one person who is very suspicious." Qian Xue said.
The emperor became anxious, "Girl Qianxue, don't be a fool, you still know any secrets, just tell them all at once."
"Let's talk in the car." Qian Xue said.
The emperor was in a hurry and had no choice but to obediently get into the car.
The carriage drove to Qingteng House. In the carriage, Gu Qianxue told the emperor about the poisoning of Concubine Qin, the poisoning of Concubine Zhang Jieyu, and the fact that Concubine Xilan was framed despite being poisoned. The second prince's information was revealed.
Somewhere, she had a premonition that the second prince didn't want the emperor to know, even if the emperor would make up for it.
The action of force is mutual, and so is love.
The emperor loves himself the most, and the princes can't love their father, that's all.
