78. Tyrant and Emperor 3.
The faint sound of bead curtains is trivial.
The eyelids were lifted open by the morning light, and the slightly drowsy brain gradually woke up.
Chu Yunsheng turned over from the bed in the side hall, and the silver frost charcoal was piled up in the charcoal basin not far from the footstool, radiating warmth. A few shadows of palace servants stood outside a large screen, and someone seemed to be whispering something, whispering softly.
At this time, there was no clock to record the time, and Chu Yunsheng didn't know much about the sky, so he got up and changed his clothes and asked, "What time is it?"
The palace servants outside seemed to be startled, and soon a small eunuch with quick hands and feet stepped forward and said respectfully in a low voice, "My lord, the time is coming soon."
Chu Yunsheng still had tiredness in his eyes, and he blocked the hand of the palace servants who came to serve the changing clothes, and said lightly: "This king is here by himself. Is the Zhaoyang Palace up?"
The little eunuch said, "Your Majesty got up early and is waiting outside."
Chu Yunsheng sat down, and let the palace servants tie his hair. Hearing the words, he raised his eyes slightly: "The ginger tea and snacks that the king ordered yesterday, let's send them out first."
The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and hurriedly withdrew.
On the palace road outside, many palace servants are sweeping snow.
It was still dark in winter, and the emperor's chariot stopped under the steps of Zhaoyang Hall, and someone had already raised a thick curtain.
Lu Fenglou slowly swayed out of the hall with the heater in his arms, his attitude was casual and casual, he was more like someone's playboy than the lord of a country. As soon as he got on Luangjia, Lu Fenglou saw a steaming plate of dim sum and a bowl of ginger tea on the small coffee table in the car.
As if a cloud was suddenly pressing down, Lu Fenglou's tired and languid eyebrows suddenly sharpened, and he held down the tea bowl and threw it out.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The old eunuch asked Deptong and knelt outside: "This refreshment... was sent by the regent just now."
Lu Fenglou looked at the wet marks on the edge of his robe sleeves that had been splashed by the tea, his eyes were gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he laughed abruptly, and said, "I have to tell the teacher, I'm nearing frailty, but I'm no longer a kid who has to make a fuss about tea in the morning."
Wende knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.
The atmosphere in the vicinity of the Luan Jia suddenly became depressed, and only the whistling cold wind swept the ears.
But soon, the arrival of Chu Yunsheng broke the stagnation.
He learned the style of the original body and boarded Lu Fenglou's Luan Jia without any restraint. As soon as went up, saw a water stain and half a plate of snacks. On the other hand, the little emperor on the chariot seemed to be asleep, leaning on the soft pillow and closing his eyes, unaware of Chu Yunsheng's arrival.
Lu Fenglou ascended the throne at a young age, coupled with the death of his parents, the court was unstable, and he often lost control of his emotions. Chu Yunsheng would often follow Luan Jia, one for the safety of the little emperor, and the other is to teach the little emperor some strategies for dealing with civil and military officials.
But people can't stand the test of time.
Chu Yunsheng has been sitting on the Luan Cha for many years.
Luan Jia swayed and lifted it up, heading towards the Taiji Temple.
Chu Yunsheng didn't want to wake Lu Fenglou, because even if he woke up, he didn't know what to say to Lu Fenglou. Lu Fenglou has different personalities from the lovers he met in the previous worlds. He represents a complete set of defensiveness and impermanence.
And at this point in the plot, the relationship between Chu Yunsheng and Lu Fenglou is about to enter a real freezing point.
The friendship between teachers and students in childhood, the cold guard in youth, and the suspicion and temptation that have gradually emerged in recent years, tit for tat, will all be brutally exposed in the near future.
The harmony and compromise on the surface and the intensification on the inside will explode sooner or later.
And once it's handled improperly, the outcome between Chu Yunsheng and Lu Fenglou, I'm afraid there will only be one life-and-death.
As for conspiring to usurp the throne, the young emperor is imprisoned—
Such a dream had happened to Chu Yunsheng last night when he was self-reliant, but it was just a colorful dream. It is shameful to cut off the lives of others just for one's own selfish desires.
Hundreds of officials lined up outside the Taiji Hall and entered one after another.
When Luan Jia was about to stop, Lu Fenglou woke up. He glanced at Chu Yunsheng, who was sitting beside him, and smiled: "Teacher, did you sleep well last night?"
Chu Yunsheng was thinking of the colorful dream and his still aching hands, and glanced at Lu Fenglou when he heard the words: "Not good."
After speaking, he raised the curtain and went down first.
Lu Fenglou was stunned.
He just asked casually, but he didn't expect Chu Yunsheng to slap him.
Moreover, I don't know if it was his delusion, he always felt that the word regent was not good, there seemed to be some resentment and grievance, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't make sense, and he couldn't help but wonder if it was his own small actions Chu Yunsheng found out, and Chu Yunsheng used this to warn himself.
Turning his mind like this, Lu Fenglou was also surrounded by palace servants and entered the Taiji Hall.
Chu Yunsheng didn't know that his little emperor made up his mind again, and there was always a prince who wanted to harm me.
After he got off the Luan Jia, he went around to the front of the Taiji Hall, followed the Baiguan into the hall, and arrived at the head of the military officer.
Prince Regent Chu Yunsheng was tall and handsome, fair and clean, but he was a solid general. When he entered the palace as a companion, he skipped class with the late emperor, but he was able to overturn the bodyguard of the imperial guard with the body of a young man. It's just that the older you get, the more you like to play with power, and even if you go to the front line, you rarely go into battle.
Unlike Baiguan, Chu Yunsheng's seat had a four-clawed Panlong chair, showing his status as one person and above ten thousand people.
Chu Yunsheng was not polite, he sat down when he saw the chair, and only got up to pay homage when Lu Fenglou came in to announce his homage.
"If you have something to play, if you have nothing to go back to the court—!"
The old eunuch Wende's voice was sharp and loud, resounding through the Taiji Hall.
Lu Fenglou leaned on the dragon chair, half-closed his eyes, looking lazy.
The civil and military officials seemed to be accustomed to Lu Fenglou's up-to-date attitude. They came out one by one as if according to the arranged script, and began to play trivial matters. Lu Fenglou only needs to hum, even if he has heard it, how to deal with these things, who will deal with it, no one will ask him, he said, I am afraid there is too much to do.
Chu Yunsheng only listened for a while, and then roughly analyzed the situation of the court.
Today, those who take turns in power can be divided into four forces.
The first is that Chu Yunsheng, the regent's own person, has both civil and military generals, and seems to be the biggest force in this court.
The second is the family members.
There may be changes in the court, and the family lasts for thousands of years. The family of Da Jin was left over from the previous dynasty, and there were four surnames, which corresponded to Zhao Qian Sun Li of the Bai family. These four families subsidized the still rambunctious Jin Yuan Emperor to overthrow the old dynasty. Yishui'er's aristocratic hero, the power in the court can be said to be deeply rooted and intertwined, and the whole body is affected by one stroke. On the surface, it seems that there are not many people who have entered the dynasty as officials, but the entire Dajin various important industries are controlled by the people of the aristocratic family. It can be said that if Chu Yunsheng or Lu Fenglou directly went to war with the aristocratic family, it would be no different. Suicide by water cut.
Therefore, in fact, the most powerful court in this court is the aristocratic family.
As for the third, that is Bei Hanfeng, Mu Qingjia and other forces that have their own ideas or are implicated in the enemy country Da Zhou. And fourth, is Lu Fenglou himself.
After all, he has been an emperor for more than ten years, and his brains are up to the standard, so Lu Fenglou is not really a puppet that can be slaughtered by others. It's just that whether in the eyes of Chu Yunsheng or in the eyes of the aristocratic family, this little thing of Lu Fenglou is just like puppies and kittens, which can't attract much attention and are not worth dealing with.
However, the views on Lu Fenglou are original. Dr. Chu has watched the plot all over himself, and with his contact with Lu Fenglou, he does not think that the little emperor is really some kind of kitten or puppy.
Even if it is, it can only kill people. The kittens and dogs with the will of tigers and wolves will occasionally pierce their claws and hold your throat.
Chu Yunsheng was in the process of sorting the garbage of civil and military officials when he heard an official suddenly appear and said, "Your Majesty, I have been fighting between Dajin and Dawei for several years. In recent years, it has been especially fierce, and wars have been frequent. It consumes a lot. In addition to the frequent natural disasters in recent years, many counties and counties in the south of the Yangtze River have no grains... The frequent expeditions of the imperial court have already caused the people to complain, and everyone can't open the pot. "
The old minister let out a long sigh, and his gray beard trembled slightly under his chin: "I can't fight anymore, Your Majesty. The treasury is empty, the people are struggling, and the war is not a great victory. This kind of battle cannot be fought again! The Ministry of Rites is ready to send envoys to the border to negotiate peace. , Da Zhou is also full of sincerity, and I would like the prince to come and sign the treaty, and we will arrive in ten days..."
Chu Yunsheng listened and glanced at Lu Fenglou on the dragon chair. Sure enough, he saw Lu Fenglou's gloomy face.
A dignified king of a country, it is a bit ridiculous and comical to wait until the envoys for peace talks are almost here to know that he wants to make peace with the enemy. But everyone took it for granted.
However, Chu Yunsheng's original identity was known to the matter of negotiating peace, and he even had his approval in it. And the secret letter that Chu Yunsheng sent last night is also related to this.
The old minister rambled about the suffering brought by the war to the people, as if he was chanting the scriptures endlessly, and tears welled up in his old eyes, as if he could feel the same.
Another official echoed: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Zhai said is good. The war continues, and it is the people who suffer after all. Besides, we didn't get any advantage in this battle, so it's better not to fight."
"That's right, Your Majesty. It's just a dispute between the cities along the Xihe line. There's no need to waste people and money like this. Those cities are very desolate, and there's nothing to grow on the other side of the Xihe River. What's the use of taking them back? Sell the favors of the Great Monday and give them away! We can take advantage of the treaty by taking this advantage..."
"What the adults said is very true!"
"Your Majesty, the people in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, and the refugees from the Xihe, who is more important, you must tell the difference! How can we use the rice grains of our good people in exchange for the cheap lives of those who make troubles! "
"Your Majesty, the loyal words are hard to hear..."
Lu Fenglou clearly hadn't said a word yet, but all the ministers in the court tried to persuade him as if he was a foolish monarch who cared about the people and was ruthless.
Chu Yunsheng sat on the chair, watching the one-man show with a cold eye, holding a tea bowl without saying a word.
He wanted to see what Lu Fenglou would do.
But just as these officials were on the rise, Lu Fenglou's voice was neither too loud nor too low, and passed down from a high place, suppressing the commotion in the Taiji Hall.
"I know about the peace talks. Then I dare to ask you loving ministers. The battle is over and the city is cut off. How can those cherished people in Jiangnan and Central Plains be relieved?"
"Devouring the Starry Sky: Sign In to God"
Lu Fenglou's expression was obscured by Mian, making it unreal, but his voice was still flat and casual, as if he was just asking casually.
"Jiangnan and the Central Plains are rich, what need relief?" a minister said.
Lu Fenglou smiled: "Master Zhai Fang Cai also said that natural disasters have occurred frequently in the past two years, Jiangnan and Central Plains have suffered severe disasters, and there is no harvest, why don't you need relief? Look at the continuous heavy rain in the Central Plains, the Yu River burst its banks, and flooded tens of thousands of acres of fertile fields. There was a severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and the people complained endlessly..."
"Didn't I hear a few days ago that some refugees from the Central Plains rushed into Lucheng, the companion capital? Since the external troubles cannot be settled, the internal troubles must be managed. What do you think?"
This remark can be considered to avoid its edge, and it is quite skillful. But the ministers apparently did not buy it.
Mr. Zhai, who made the first speech, directly changed his face on the spot and said angrily: "How can your Majesty compare refugees with other commoners? Refugees have no home and no food, and they are no different from beasts in order to stutter. It is a joke that the batch of refugees actually intends to let the Lucheng guard open the warehouse to put food on it! Fortunately, the guard was firm in his will and shot those beasts to death on the spot, otherwise the granary of Lucheng would not be guaranteed..."
Lu Fenglou's eyes became a little colder: "The officials in Lucheng have all withdrawn, and the idea of accompany the capital will also be cancelled. What's the use of keeping tens of thousands of catties of granary? Besides, there are only a hundred refugees in total..."
Master Zhai glanced at Chu Yunsheng in front of him with a troubled face, and said, "Your Majesty, Lucheng is the hometown of the Regent."
The whispered discussions in the hall stopped abruptly and fell silent.
Mr. Zhai was righteous and continued: "Besides, the New Year's Day is coming soon. The palace has a lot of expenses, and officials in the capital have to travel. These are expenses. And where do the expenses come from? That is the common people."
"After the new year, it is the birthday ceremony of the Regent, and it still has to be done in a big way. Your Majesty, the old minister is in charge of the household department, but he is not a hen that can lay golden eggs. "
For the first time, Chu Yunsheng was also a little emotional when he met someone who would oppress the common people and loot the people's fat and people's cream.
Of course, the most important thing is that the pot thrown out by the old man Bai Lian was also properly buckled on his head, Chu Yunsheng.
The name of the regent really has the influence of power over the court and the opposition. As soon as Lord Zhai gave out his reasons, none of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dared to refute it. There are also people who boast that the defender of Lucheng is a great talent, and he made a decisive decision to avoid the disaster of the city.
Refugees may be terrifying, but more are indeed salvageable.
Chu Yunsheng was only a few steps away from Lu Fenglou, and he could clearly see the blue veins on the back of Lu Fenglou's hand and the forbearance that flashed across his eyes.
The Tai Chi Hall fell into an eerie silence.
Lord Zhai looked left and right, but no one responded to him, and the Prince Regent didn't give him an approving look, so he lost his enthusiasm a little, and stood back in the queue of civil servants with drooping eyelids and an old gait.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the generals: "Since the war is mentioned... Your Majesty, Wei Chen has something to announce."
As soon as Chu Yunsheng tilted his head, he saw a young general with a high nose and deep eyes and a stern face walking out of the queue.
Coincidentally, this person is the protagonist of the original plot, Bei Hanfeng.
According to the progress of the plot, Bei Hanfeng should have met Mu Qingjia.
Lu Fenglou said, "General North, but it doesn't matter."
Bei Hanfeng was expressionless, glanced at Chu Yunsheng, and said: "Your Majesty, the army has returned from the expedition for two days. Since it is necessary to negotiate peace, there must be no need to train troops in recent days. The tiger talisman of the army..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone understood it, and their eyes changed invariably, and they swept towards Chu Yunsheng and Lu Fenglou either overtly or covertly.
The king regent led his troops on an expedition, holding a tiger talisman. Although the relationship with the emperor has become more and more tense over the years, every time the teacher returns to the court, he will still take the initiative to hand over the tiger talisman. But this time, it has been a long time since the court, but the regent doesn't seem to have any intention of returning the tiger talisman, could it be—
The eyes of the civil and military officials all concealed different emotions, and they looked at each other and exchanged glances.
Chu Yunsheng was also aware of the gaze and speculation gathered on him, but he had already decided what to do, so he didn't care what other people said or looked at.
He didn't look at Lu Fenglou, but raised his eyelids and glanced back lightly: "Why, General Bei wants this tiger talisman?"
Bei Hanfeng immediately said: "The last general will not dare."
Chu Yunsheng did not propose to return the tiger talisman as usual, but raised his lips coldly and smiled: "It's fine if you don't dare."
"The matter of training troops should not be neglected in one day. The king will keep this tiger talisman for the first time and train his troops. If you want to come, Your Majesty will not mind."
He raised his eyes and looked at Lu Fenglou on the dragon chair.
Through Mian's shadow, Lu Fenglou smiled slightly at Chu Yunsheng: "Of course not. I...I can trust the teacher."
But before the words fell, a voice suddenly stabbed out of the hall: "The ancient Marshal general has returned from victory, and there is no one who will not return the military power! Today, the regent is unwilling to return the tiger talisman, using the excuse of training the army, but to confirm the rumors of the people? "
"I persuade the prince to return the tiger talisman!"
When Chu Yunsheng turned his head, he saw that the faces of the civil and military officials were filled with expressions of watching a play. There were also some officials who belonged to the aristocratic family forces, with obscure expressions, and they all stared at this stupefied young man.
"What if this king doesn't pay it back?" Chu Yunsheng looked directly at the angry minister.
Lengtouqing stalked his neck and said: "That minister will hit the pillar here, and the blood admonishes the saint to eradicate the traitor!"
Chu Yunsheng frowned slightly, and before he could speak, he heard Lu Fenglou sneer suddenly, and said in a casual tone: "I'm talking to the Prince Regent, what are you doing here? If you want to hit the pillar, hit it, hit hard... I also think that the pillars of this Taiji Temple are not red enough."
Leng Touqing was full of grief and anger, and fell to his knees: "Your Majesty!"
Lu Fenglou said: "Don't bump it? Then take it down and chop..."
"Come on."
Chu Yunsheng interrupted Lu Fenglou's voice, and the guards outside the Taiji Hall quickly entered two after hearing the words. Chu Yunsheng glanced at the minister: "Drag it down and shut it in the prison."
He looked at Lu Fenglou with an indiscernible face again: "Your Majesty, you're just a stunner, why bother?"
Lu Fenglou was silent for a moment, then smiled slowly: "What the teacher said is."
A messy court meeting ended just like that.
After the meeting was over, Chu Yunsheng ignored the people who surrounded him, who were either testing or stalking the horse, and left the palace and took a carriage back to the regent's palace.
In the palace, Di Yan, the most loyal confidant to Chu Yunsheng, handed a secret letter to Chu Yunsheng, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the stunned young man in the previous dynasty should be a member of the noble family, the attitude of the noble family... "
Chu Yunsheng interrupted him: "He's not from an aristocratic family."
Di Yan was stunned.
Chu Yunsheng did not explain, but instead said, "Yingying and Yanyan, the house full of people in the western courtyard, has found a good family, so let's send them away."
Di Yan was a little stunned: "Though the prince has never met those people, they are nominally the prince's concubine. They were sent away suddenly...and the prince, about the matter in the letter last night, you are to the emperor..."
"This king wants to raise a wolf."
Chu Yunsheng said lightly: "But this king doesn't just want to raise this wolf. I want to teach this wolf how to survive, how to hunt, how to raise himself, and how to raise the whole wolf pack."
Chu Yunsheng glanced at Di Yan: "Don't worry about the rumors outside, but in the future, no mention of the Zen position is allowed in the mansion. This king is a person who is loyal to the country and loves the king."
Di Yan was perplexed, looking at his lord, he always felt that something had changed, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that nothing had changed. He was still so cold and calm, neither happy nor angry.
In addition, shouldn't it be loyal to the king and patriotism? Loyalty to the country and love to the king, what do you say...
