A Clash of Gods

Qi Ningdao said: "The emperor said just now that since the founding of the great Chu, there has been no duke of different surnames. If the emperor is of great merit, the emperor will give him the blessing, then it will naturally be all happy, but if the courtier is sincere, then it is contrary to the founding of the country. Etiquette. Zhongyi Hou cannot fail to understand this truth. "

"He naturally understands." Long Tai said: "Zhongyi Hou was a founding hero, and before me, he was already an old minister of the Three Dynasties."

"So the emperor blessed him in the court. If Zhongyi Hou refused to accept the prince, then the matter should be wishful thinking of the empress, and Zhongyi Hou had no other thoughts." Qi Ning said: "At least it shows that Zhongyi Hou did not dare to destroy the ancestry easily. It also proves that Zhongyi Hou is still the pillar of my great Chu. "

Long Tai thought slightly, and nodded slightly: "If Zhongyi Hou is glad to accept it, it can show that he has not put the ancestor system in his eyes."

"Secondly, even if Zhongyi Hou really accepted the duke's title, the emperor did not have to worry too much." Qi Ning said slowly: "Emperor, after I arrived in Beijing, I saw and heard not much, but I also know that King Huainan The forces are not weak, and the Chaoye has his people. "

Long Tai's face was slightly cold, saying: "Huainan King thought he was orthodox, and his usurpation ambition was well known to everyone. The first emperor tried to appease him, but it was already glorious, but he was not grateful for the emperor's magnanimity. It ’s everywhere. I returned from Dongqi this time. I encountered many interceptions along the way, and even died on the way. Who is behind the plan, I am very clear. "

"Emperor, dare to ask, with the current strength of the emperor, can we easily eradicate the Huainan King's party?" Yang Ning knew that Longtai was talking with himself sincerely, he did not hide, and he spoke very straightforwardly.

Longtai said: "Qining, I tell you the truth, when the Emperor Xian was alive, he always worried that the Huainan King would one day be a threat to me. The Emperor Xiandi had a long-term vision and everything was expected by him. It was just that the Huainan King was the Emperor Taizu The son, Emperor Taizong and the first emperor both remembered the emperor's long grace, and always tried their best to appease the Huainan King. Even if the Huainan King occasionally did something extraordinary, he was tolerant. "Suddenly, he said:" King Huainan This person is very cunning. Although many people in the middle of the country spoke for him, he has always been behind the scenes and never showed up easily. It looks like a happy prince who only knows how to find joy and joy. The first emperor has never found a head. Drop him. "

"The Emperor Xiandi worked hard to rule, coupled with the repeated battles, I was afraid that he didn't have much thought to deal with him." Qi Ning sighed: "In addition to connecting with the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty in these years, Xiandi did not want to be caused by Huainan King. Da Chu's internal turmoil. "

Long Tai was a little stunned: "Do you even understand these?" A smile: "It seems that you guys are not just knowing how to spend time after coming to Beijing."

"Emperor, you can injustice me," Qi Ning said immediately. "I don't have a lot of money. I stay in Jinyihou Mansion. These things can't be done without knowing it."

Long Tai sighed: "Yeah, Xiandi means, if the King of Huainan can be honest, the court will not embarrass him too much. Xiandi himself did not expect himself to be seriously ill, otherwise it would not be such a situation today. "" The expression changed into a sad face.

"The first emperor died, many people did not expect it." Qi Ning said: "The power of King Huainan has not been eliminated by the first emperor, so he still has a deep foundation, plus the old guy always coveted the throne, this kind of person We can't help it. "

"Old guy?" Long Tai stunned, then smiled: "Yes, that old guy is my emperor, but he always regards me as an enemy."

"Since the king of Huainan is deeply rooted, if the emperor cannot rely on his own power to calm him down, he must find an opponent to deal with him." Qi Ning laughed: "Does the emperor think Zhongyi Hou is an excellent candidate?"

Long Tai nodded slightly and said, "Of course, I certainly understand that I can't let the Huainan King's family do whatever I want. The first emperor also told me that he should reuse the Zhongyi Hou to balance the Huainan King. But I am worried that if I let it go Zhongyi Hou, he became more and more inflated, and I would be raising tigers by then. "

After all, Qi Ning is a human being with two decades of life experience. In addition, he has also read some books and videos of emperors and generals in his previous life. It is not uncommon to know that the technique of balance is not unusual, but the young emperor is not very young, but he is a young boy. Not only does it take into account the checks and balances, and even the problem of raising tigers, the mind is indeed meticulous.

"That's why I said that it's a triumph in one fell swoop. This second gain not only allows the Zhongyi Hou to grow stronger, and can compete with the Huainan Kings. The most important thing is that once the Zhongyi Hou receives the duke's position, it will inevitably arouse many people's resentment. Yang Ning smiled and said, "The courtiers who are against the Huainan King will loyalty to the emperor with Zhongyi Hou at this time. If Zhongyi Hou is low-key and cautious, those people must admire him and admire him." Character, emperor, do n’t you think this is a troublesome thing? "

The dishes on the table were made by the imperial chef in the palace. They were full of color and fragrance, and they were hot. For Xingning, it was really a small temptation, but at this time, the little emperor did not put his mind on the meal, even put down the chopsticks. , Qi Ning can only be reserved, it is not easy to enjoy.

Long Tai's eyes lit up, looking a little excited. He actually reached out to grab Qi Ning's arm and said: "You mean ... You mean to let those ministers walk with Zhongyi Hou, but treat him Disgusted? "

Qi Ning said with a smile: "The greater the power of the Zhongyi Hou, the more arrogant, and naturally the more resentful the ministers will be, and he will not be completely at one with him, and one day the emperor will be able to use people."

Long Tai clapped with a smile and said, "Qining, you guys are also very cunning." He asked again: "What do you mean by killing three birds with one stone?"

Qi Ning said: "This is the emperor's opportunity. The emperor, Shu Chen bluntly said, you have said that the emperor suddenly suffered from a serious illness and suddenly collapsed. Naturally, the emperor did not have too many opportunities for you to experience. You have just now Assuming the throne, of course, there will not be too many confidants. "

When Long Tai heard the words, he was helpless and said: "In fact, everyone in the world thinks that I am an emperor, and I can do everything. Only I know that sitting in this seat is really not very good. Not only can you go to any place like you. Do anything anywhere, even eating and sleeping. "Pointing to the dishes on the table, said:" When I was a prince, I used to have dozens of dishes per meal, and I felt that there was nothing, but I came back from Dongqi. On the way, I also saw the difficulties of the people. Many people said that eating these delicious dishes, even a bowl of rice may not necessarily be eaten. "Said with a bitter smile:" I don't think of my big Chu people before I sent Dongqi It was so hard. "

Qi Ning heard Long Tai's true feelings revealed that he felt compassionately about the people's hardship, and suddenly gave a trace of respect, asking: "The emperor saw the people's hardship?"

Long Tai said: "In order to avoid obstacles, the mission was divided into three groups. They all secretly returned to Jianye Beijing City to distract their opponents. I and Master Xiang took the four followers all the way back to Beijing and were assassinated several times along the way. The four entourages were killed for protecting me. On the way, I saw the refugees along the Huaihe River ...! "Shaking his head with a wry smile:" They really have no food or clothing, I thought at that time, the ministers every day They are all saying that I am the great Chu Kingdom and the people are peaceful and prosperous, but why did the people of Dachu not even drink a bowl of porridge after the war? Many people starved to the side of the road and let wild dogs devour ... .! "

Qi Ning's expression also became serious. Although he had not reached the forefront of the war, he could already feel the misery of the refugees in Huize City.

"I vowed at that time that if I became an emperor, what I would do in my life was to let the people of the world really not suffer from the war and be able to eat and wear warm clothes." Longtai's tone became firm Rising up: "I used to think that it was easy to do this, and it seemed not difficult to get enough food and clothing, but now I understand that this simple desire is really to be achieved, and perhaps exhausting my life may not be possible, but I will do my utmost to do it. If I ca n’t do it, let my son do it. If he ca n’t, let my grandson do it, until one day the world ’s people will eat and drink without worry. ”

Qi Ning shivered.

In this case, it seems that many emperors have said it, but it was the first time he heard it from the mouth of an emperor, and it was not for the purpose of whitewashing his ambitions. His tone was sincere, and he was the most simple when a little emperor was a king desire.

Qi Ning did not know what kind of road he would face in the future, and he did not know what kind of emperor Long Tai would become in the future, but he was able to care about the people ’s livelihood and to set up such a simple but shining ambition. Heartstrings.

He knew that at least at this moment, Long Tai was a good emperor.

"Emperor, I believe you will be able to do it." Qi Ning stared at the little emperor's eyes. "So the emperor should cultivate his strength and slowly strengthen himself. Only a powerful emperor can fulfill his wish. "Depressed the voice and said:" So the emperor must have someone available, these people must be loyal to the emperor, and help the emperor fulfill his wish. "

Long Tai smiled bitterly: "But what I lack the most is the confidant." Looking at Qi Ning, he said: "Except for Master, I can only tell you the truth, Qi Ning, you know, I have At that time, I really felt ... Special loneliness, heavy palace, magnificent gold, but sometimes I always feel that the Royal Palace of Nuo Da seems to be the only one. Many of the court eunuchs knew me when I was very young. But ... sometimes when they are by my side, I think they are like the table and chairs, and I talk to them one by one, they are all promises, I am afraid to say the wrong thing, so I do n’t love and later. They talked. "

Qi Ning said with a smile: "It's not easy for the emperor to speak. I'm your courtier now. If you are bored, talk to me anytime, but the emperor wants to promise me ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ I ’m happy, I do n’t have a sense of proportion, and I ca n’t say something bad about it. You will have to cut my head.

"Are you afraid of me chopping your head?" Long Tai stunned, and then laughed: "It's okay, I promised you, as long as you and I have the same heart, even if you really say the wrong thing one day and do the wrong thing, I will not care about you . "

Qi Ning laughed and said: "Emperor, I will say a big deal now, don't blame me."

Long Tai seemed very interested and said, "You said."

"A companion is like a tiger." Qi Ning sighed: "The emperor is in a good mood now, and any promise can be made. In case of a bad mood one day, I just happened to have made a mistake again. Then the emperor turned my back and asked me to head. How to do?"

"Bullshit." Long Tai was annoyed: "I always count my words, why should I go against it?" Huo Ran got up, Yang Ning thought that the little emperor was about to turn his face, but saw him quickly walk to the edge of the desk, took the pen and ink, swayed He freely took a gold seal and pressed it on the paper. Then he came back with the piece of paper and handed it to Qi Ning, saying, "You got me a good deal, I speak and speak."

Qi Ning took it, glanced at it, and wrote on it a plea of ​​exoneration. As long as he was loyal to the emperor and worked for the court, he would be forgiven even if he committed a big offense.
