The eldest son of the red mansion

Pan Yong knelt a few steps ahead of Jia Ke, and said to the emperor and empress: "Since the emperor is seriously ill, it is impossible to straighten things out. It is better to abdicate as the Supreme Emperor and recuperate safely in the harem. Other matters will naturally be handled by the new emperor. "

At this time, Jia Ke has already seen that Pan Yong has taken refuge in his new master, and the first one to stand up at this time is to charge for his new master.Jia Ke didn't intend to express any opinions on this matter, because he knew that the object of his allegiance could only be the emperor, and no one who ascended the throne as emperor would trust him, so there was no need for him to stand out.

The emperor lying on the bed heard Pan Yong's words, and the hand holding the queen suddenly became tighter.The empress obviously sensed the emperor's change, but she only glanced at the emperor out of the corner of her eye, without any change on her face.

The queen then asked several other military ministers: "What do you think of what Pan Yong just said?"

Lei Ying, Tian Ye, and Liu Yu glanced at each other, then knelt down on the ground together, "I wait for a second opinion."

The queen looked at their expressions and was a little disappointed. It seemed that these people no longer had an emperor in their hearts.

The queen saw Jia Ke kneeling there without saying a word, so she said, "Jia Ke, you are the chief minister of the military aircraft. They have all expressed their views. What do you say?"

Jia Ke felt that these civil servants had already stood in line. I am afraid that their masters behind the scenes could not wait any longer. If you think about it from the perspective of conspiracy theory, the emperor's body deteriorated so quickly, it may have something to do with them.

While Jia Ke was thinking, he suddenly heard the queen ask him. At this moment, he knelt there without any hesitation and said sadly, "I don't agree with their opinion. .” Jia Ke lay down on the ground after saying a word, wailing.

Chapter 299 Decided to abdicate

As soon as Jia Ke finished saying this, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the remaining four military ministers attacked Jia Ke together.

"Shut up, Jia Ke, you are so severing the relationship between the emperor and the new emperor, you will be punished."

"That's right, please the emperor deal with Jia Ke immediately, otherwise I'm afraid father and son will be separated by then."

"Your Majesty, Jia Ke's words are harmful to the country. If the Emperor obeys his words, the country may never have peace."

The queen looked at the crowd kneeling on the ground expressionlessly, and then asked Jia Ke: "You heard what they said. What do you have to defend yourself?"

Jia Ke had already understood the current situation. The four military ministers would probably never trust the emperor again. Now that they didn't know the specific condition of the emperor, these people began to urge the emperor to abdicate.How unwise that is.

Maybe it's not that they are unwise, but that they have already taken refuge in the new emperor, and there is no room for turning back.

Jia Ke already had a way to deal with the Queen's questions.That is to learn from Cao Pi. When Cao Pi and Cao Zhi competed for the position, Cao Zhi was so talented that Cao Pi was naturally inferior. In the end, Cao Pi adopted Sima Yi's strategy. Every time Cao Cao went to war, Cao Zhi would sing praises and write a lot of praise poems.But Cao Pi silently knelt aside and wept for Cao Cao.Because of this, Cao Cao believed that he was pure filial piety, and that's why Cao Pi succeeded in seizing the throne.

Besides, even if this trick doesn't work, relying on his martial arts already arranged in the imperial guards, he can also wipe out these people in one go.Although I have not completely controlled the army of the world, it will be troublesome to clean up the mess in the future, but it is better than sitting still and waiting for death.

Now that he has made up his mind and arranged the escape route, Jia Ke doesn't say much now, just knelt aside and kept crying.

When the emperor saw this situation, a gleam of relief flashed in his eyes, thinking that he hadn't completely misjudged anyone in his life, and this Jia Ke was really loyal to him, and he had always planned for himself, the old emperor, and not for the sake of glory and wealth. new emperor.

You know, if Jia Ke pleases the new emperor now, he will definitely be a minister of the dragon in the future, even if he cannot continue to be the minister of military aircraft, he will be rich and prosperous.If you still support yourself now, you may be liquidated when you die.It's a pity that now I'm seriously ill and I'm afraid I can't protect him for a long time.

The emperor coughed while lying on the bed, and then said softly: "There is no need to talk about this matter, I know Jia Ke's loyalty, you just talk about the succession of the throne."

Pan Yong couldn't wait to kneel down that time, and he played there: "Your Majesty, I think that the third prince is talented, intelligent, hardworking and studious, and is quite popular. He can succeed the throne."

Immediately afterwards, Lei Ying, Minister of the Ministry of War, also knelt down and said: "The third prince, the watch of the sun, is lenient to others and strict with self-discipline. If he succeeds to the throne, the country will be stable."

"No, the birth mother of the third prince is humble, if he succeeds to the throne, how can he convince the people." Zuodu Censor Tianye objected, "I think the loyal and obedient king has a noble character and an extraordinary background. If he succeeds to the throne, the world will surely obey him."

Liu Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, heard the words of Zuodu Censor Tianye, and immediately objected: "No, although King Zhongshun came from a noble background, he was once reprimanded by the emperor. If he becomes emperor immediately, how can he teach the world?"

These four people fought back and forth for nothing more than two candidates, the Third Prince and King Zhongshun.Because of his mother, the third prince has not been crowned king until now, which is his disadvantage.And King Zhongshun was not much better. He was reprimanded by the emperor for inviting all his ministers to a banquet in the mansion, which almost delayed the emergency military situation. Moreover, he used the treasure of imperial justice. This is tantamount to telling the world that King Zhongshun, Can never be emperor.

But among the emperor's sons, only these two have some ability. The others are just eating, drinking and having fun.

After hearing their candidates, the emperor did not express his opinion immediately, but asked Jia Ke next to him, "Which of these two princes do you think can be the emperor?"

As soon as the emperor finished asking this sentence, the four military ministers immediately focused their attention on Jia Ke.

Jia Ke didn't expect to ask him, she was stunned for a moment, and then thought carefully.In the Dream of Red Mansions, the one married to Yuanchun is the real emperor and the heir in the emperor's heart.

And now that the third prince is married to Jia Yuanchun, it seems that the luck of the third prince should be the next emperor, but through the secret disc investigation, Jia Ke knows that the one who has been in trouble with him is probably the third prince, and the emperor also knows of.This should be the emperor testing himself to see whether he would deny the third prince for his own selfishness, or forget personal grievances for the sake of the country.

Moreover, Jia Ke saw the four military ministers arguing there just now. He clearly said that King Zhongshun is also qualified to inherit the throne. In fact, it was just a double act they played. If the four ministers all supported the third prince, it might arouse the emperor's suspicion. King Zhongshun was fighting with the third prince. In fact, they had already said that King Zhongshun was not suitable to be emperor. It seemed that these civil servants had reached an agreement.But this time, I want them to accompany my wife and break the army. Even if the third prince ascends to the throne, he will also become a puppet in front of the scene.

Jia Ke pretended to think for a while, and then reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, if you have to choose one, I will choose the third prince. The third prince is just and talented. If he inherits the throne, he will surely make the country pass on for thousands of years."

In fact, when Jia Ke finished saying this sentence, he also began to secretly hate it. It seems that the emperor really has no family affection. I have made great contributions to him and repaid his kindness. I didn't expect to still test myself at this time. , it seems that he does not fully believe in his loyalty.

The other four military ministers never expected that Jia Ke would recommend the third prince, even though the third prince had opposed Jia Ke several times and acted secretly.But after all, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, let alone so many ministers acting together, how can there be any secrets?Therefore, everyone knew that the third prince and Jia Ke were at odds, but now that Jia Ke had recommended the third prince, they couldn't help being surprised.

Among these four people, Lei Ying, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Tianye, the censor of Zuodu, are very upright people. At this time, regardless of personal grievances to Jia Ke, they recommended the wise lord. This kind of excellent personal morality made the two of them feel that It was sincere admiration, and at the same time, they also had a decision in their hearts. If the new emperor still wanted to kill Jia Ke after ascending the throne, they would definitely not stand by and watch.

After listening to Jia Ke's words, the emperor smiled again. Jia Ke seemed to be loyal to the country and did not put his personal feelings on national affairs.So he said softly: "Since there are four ministers recommending the third prince, it's settled. I will abdicate as the Supreme Emperor and pass on the throne to the third prince."

As soon as the emperor finished announcing, the four military ministers except Jia Ke couldn't wait to kneel on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty is holy."

The emperor looked at the four of them without any expression on his face. Although he didn't want to abdicate, he knew that his body couldn't hold on anymore.For the sake of his ancestors, Jiangshan, he can only bear the burden of humiliation, and I am afraid that he will live under the shadow of the new emperor in the future.

He couldn't help but think of Jia Ke's sentence: How many emperors from ancient times to the present have a good death?Thinking of this, he couldn't help shivering, as if he saw a eunuch bringing a glass of poisoned wine to his mouth.

The four military ministers thought that the big event had been decided, and the third prince was about to ascend the throne to take power and rule the world. The four of them, as meritorious officials, were enshrined as marquises and worshiped generals, took charge of the power in the world, and assisted the third prince to become a generation of sages.

Now the emperor felt confused and fearful, while the other four military ministers were rejoicing. These people did not pay attention to the emperor's expression, and only thought that the general situation was settled now.

But Jia Ke was paying attention to the emperor all the time. He saw the sadness on the emperor's face, and the muscles in his eyes and face were twitching non-stop.There was a gleam of fear in his eyes.Knowing that what he just said has taken root in the emperor's heart.

Only then did Jia Ke feel relieved. He knew that the emperor did not fully trust the new emperor. If it were not for his body, he would not be able to hold on, and he would never pass on the throne.

Jia Ke had an idea with a slight smile in his heart. Now is the time to stumbling the emperor and the future new emperor. If the new emperor who is about to succeed at that time, as long as he has some brains and a little bit of filial piety, the Supreme Emperor will definitely Grateful, when the two of them get together, it will be difficult for him.

After a few laps like electricity in Jia Ke's mind, he found a solution. He decided to advise the Supreme Emperor, let the emperor learn from the Emperor Qianlong on Earth, and he would just be He Shen, but this He Shen would not Sitting and waiting to die like on the earth, when the Supreme Emperor dies, it will be the time when he is in charge of the world.When Jia Ke wanted to come, he was fully prepared, even if the new emperor tried hard, he would not be able to jump out of his palm.

So Jia Ke knelt down again, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, although the third prince can be enthroned as the emperor, but after all, he lacks experience and hastily ruled the world, which may cause trouble. I have some words, and I don't know if I should say it or not. speak."

The emperor has now fallen into his own imagination. He has passed away several times now, and he feels that the new emperor will not spare him. I am afraid that he does not have much time to live. Now he decides to pass the throne with the determination to die. , just to continue the ancestors, even if he drank the glass of poisoned wine, he would have the face to meet his ancestors when he went underground.

Originally, he was getting more and more sad, and he had reached the point where he couldn't help himself. Now he heard Jia Ke saying that he wanted advice, and he couldn't cheer up at all. She said: "Jia Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just say it, while I can still make the decision."

It seems that the emperor asked Jia Ke, his favorite minister, to make some demands when he was still in charge, so as to protect himself. If it was possible, he would give him a gold medal to avoid death, even if the new emperor was dissatisfied with him, see For the sake of this gold medal, he didn't dare to deal with Jia Ke openly, otherwise he would have no reputation.

"Your Majesty, although the third prince ascended the throne and Your Majesty abdicated as Supreme Emperor, the emperor should not abandon the people of the world right away. I have some suggestions for the emperor to consider." Jia Ke said calmly.

Chapter 300

The emperor was lying on the dragon bed, looking at Jia Ke, he felt a burst of warmth in his heart. This loyal minister still wanted to plan for himself. Maybe still stable.Once he died, based on today's performance, the new emperor would not spare him.

The emperor smiled and said softly, "Jia Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Jia Ke knelt there, breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Long live, my minister's suggestion is this. First, although the emperor abdicated as the Supreme Emperor, he is the master of the world after all. From now on, there will be no soldiers and horses in the world. Even the new emperor is not allowed to mobilize a single soldier."

After Jia Ke uttered this first suggestion, the emperor's eyes lit up immediately. Jia Ke's words seemed to open a window in a closed room to let sunlight in. Yes, he just decided to abdicate , but did not say that he would also give power to the new emperor, it seems that Jia Ke is thoughtful for me.

The eyes of the empress who was sitting next to her also lit up. As long as the emperor did not lose her power, she would still be the lord of the six palaces and the most honorable woman in the world, no matter if she was the empress or the empress dowager.Even if the new emperor knows what happened back then, so what? Can he still lock up his aunt in the cold palace when the Supreme Emperor is around?

After hearing Jia Ke's first suggestion, the emperor couldn't wait to say: "Continue."
