Powerful ministers mistake the country

The blind old man slowly talked about the legacy of the old dynasty. The slightly hoarse voice of the old man sounded in the sound of the rain, which seemed to have a bit of old laziness, and was surrounded by the mist of hot tea, which seemed harmonious. The truth is close at hand, and it is impossible to tell the truth from the false.

"The new dynasty was established and began to compile history books for the previous dynasty. Old man, I was lucky enough to see the history books made by this dynasty for the previous dynasty. They only wrote the beginning, but Emperor Min, that is, Prince Baifeng, happened to be at the beginning of the previous dynasty. One of several emperors.

"Old man, I saw that in the history book, when referring to Emperor Min, it was written 'between the palace and the emperor, or that the emperor has a hidden disease'. This paragraph is very vicious, because since Emperor Min has a hidden disease of infertility, there is a Later, she became the emperor's daughter——historical writing like this is like saying that after the former dynasty invaded and restored the country from the northwest, the royal family has actually become a wild species, and it seems to be saying that the queen of Emperor Min is a A promiscuous usurper.

"But old man, I have already figured out with my fingers that I was the little yellow door next to Prince Baifeng in my previous life. I know that Prince Baifeng does not have an imperial heir. His daughter in name is actually the daughter of Emperor Yi. Prince Feng's younger sister—this is the secret of the palace that only I know...Only me. After holding it in for so long, I almost can't tell these stories.

"When Emperor Yi was in power, his relatives interfered very seriously. Emperor Yi ascended to the throne by relying on the Lu family, so he had to tolerate the jealous queen and the Lu family when he was young. Also because of Emperor Yi's patience and cowardice at this time, let On the day Prince Baifeng was born, in front of the barren queen, he bestowed the death of Prince Baifeng's biological mother.

"It's always been difficult to get an emperor's devotion. But the empress likes Emperor Yi like crazy. She wants to monopolize Emperor Yi—although on the face of it, relying on her family background, she really She also received the emperor's unique favor. She was happy for Emperor Yi because Emperor Yi was happy that she had a child, but she also hated this heir who was not born by her. Her slender fingers, like spring onions, were the Prince Baifeng If Prince Baifeng wanted to play the flute, those hands would take his flute away; In painting, Prince Baifeng said that there are gods living in his paintings, so he can't draw people casually, but he drew the queen's niece.

"Prince Baifeng painted the young queen's niece in his guess. She is at the age of sixteen or seventeen. There is a quivering silk butterfly swaying obliquely inserted into the bun, and the pearl tassel is very long. Wearing a lotus-colored tank collar half-arm embroidered with wisteria flowers, the glazed pleated skirt was blown up slightly by the wind, and the jade pendants with multiple treasures collided with each other, and they were fluttering fireflies by the side of the well. Prince Baifeng is probably really Bai Fengshen is reincarnated, and there are probably gods living in his paintings. Later, at those hours, fireflies will glow at night.

"Emperor Yi's forbearance and cowardice were wrong from the very beginning. The lonely Emperor Yi didn't dare to like anyone else until the queen's niece entered the palace. At that time, the queen's [-]-year-old niece was more like a mother than the queen , gentle and magnanimous. When she enters the palace, Prince Baifeng likes to pillow on her lap the most, counting the stars and fireflies, and getting the comfort a child should have from this motherly woman. Emperor Yi I also like such a gentle and magnanimous woman, and the two of them have a secret knot.

"Emperor Yi's cowardice made him unable to tell the queen about this matter. He thought that the queen would never tolerate his betrayal again. If she knew about this, she would force herself to kill her niece without hesitation, and The flesh and blood of her niece. So he found Prince Baifeng and apologized for the slap he gave Prince Baifeng not long ago when he knew that Prince Baifeng yelled 'I really like Lu Fanghong' in the East Palace, and said: Married the queen's niece to him.

"Prince Baifeng needs relatives who can compete with the Lu family, but unlike his own father, he also relies heavily on his grand tutor and cronies. The relatives and his courtiers will tie each other down. The queen's niece has a very good Born, and he likes this woman who is like his mother, and he also hopes that there will be another relative with the same blood as himself in this world, so at the age of 16, Prince Baifeng married a princess who was seven years older than him.

"Prince Baifeng yelled 'I like Lu Fanghong' in the East Palace because Lu Fanghong drank a glass of wine that day and followed the prince and stared at him without blinking. When he walked to the East Palace, the Taifu Lu Fanghong said to Prince Baifeng: "I feel that I have always been sorry for you, Guangxiao. I know that you have always felt that you are like a lonely family in this world. I suddenly don't want to get married. I will accompany you. Don't be angry, I'm sorry." Tai Tuo seldom gave in, Prince Baifeng thought he was drunk, but Tai Tuo Lu Fanghong closed his eyes and fell drunk on the ground after finishing speaking.

"Prince Baifeng only saw the pear blossoms beside the palace wall. He said: 'The ruthless is blown by the wind, and the pear blossoms fall all over the stage at dusk.' Then he frowned and said loudly: "I really like Lu Fanghong! "When the prince said, he gritted his teeth, as if he was repaying the debt, and he seemed to be probing. But the prince didn't do anything, he didn't help the Taifu, he didn't even intend to touch him, he just stood under the palace, let Pear Blossom Blowing Noodles. I was the one who helped the Taifu back.

"A few months after Taifu Lu Fanghong said that he didn't want to marry a wife, Prince Baifeng married the concubine. On the wedding night, the prince lay on the concubine's lap and watched the stars for half the night, and then stroked the concubine's belly. Said: "Sister, I want to name this child Beichen. For government and virtue, for example, Beichen lives in its place and the stars share it. I hope your child and I will have a smooth life. This child has the same blood as mine." , that's probably the only child I'll ever have. I hate the Queen, and I hate all women—unless she's a mother.'

"Prince Baifeng's promise is comparable to Ji Bu's promise. From then on, he admitted to everyone that the child in the princess's womb is his child, including the Taifu. What Prince Baifeng hopes most The matter is to destroy his relatives and powerful officials, and gather the power of the world in his own hands. He has never trusted anyone since he was a child, even if he likes that person very much. Regarding the matter of the child, let Prince Baifeng and the Taifu have a good relationship. The rift between mutual temptations got deeper and deeper—it wasn't until the child was born and Emperor Yi passed away that the two of them eased up a little.

"Emperor Yi, who was in his prime, had not had time to clean up his relatives before he fell ill for no reason. The disease gradually became serious, and he coughed up blood every day. Later, Emperor Yi moved to the hot spring palace, accompanied by the empress. The chapters were seen by Prince Baifeng every day. On the thirteenth day of the winter month, the palace suddenly issued an order that Emperor Yi recovered from his illness and would return to the palace in a few days, and the crown prince would no longer read the chapters first.

"Prince Baifeng and the Taifu had already foreseen the signs of a coup in advance. The prince went to the hot spring palace to visit his father, but every time he was blocked by Uncle Lu Guo, but he was only very angry on the surface, and he didn't insist on breaking in. When the prince is angry, his cheeks are like newly blooming pinnacle flowers, with a layer of pink. Uncle Lu is very satisfied with the prince's obedience, and the father who has won the battle with the prince has been secretly stationed in the capital of twenty Outside. Prince Baifeng quietly waited for the death of his father, and he hoped to destroy the Lu family. Therefore, when the Lu family wanted to take away the power of the prince, he held the army and killed all the obstacles. The people on the road, three hundred and two disciples of the Lu family, were also regarded as rebels and abandoned the market.

"At that time, the Lu family really blocked the news of Emperor Yi's death, and threatened the queen to issue an edict to abolish the prince on the grounds that the prince was treason, and choose a puppet from the group of jealous clans. But the queen is like a madman. Shouts everywhere in the palace: "The emperor is dying!" Shouting to everyone, and then hanged in front of Emperor Yi's bed - the queen was afraid that her brother would not mourn for Emperor Yi, making Emperor Yi look like Duke Huan of Qi and Emperor Qin Shihuang She also stinks inside and out after death; she is afraid that she will die too late, and Emperor Yi's coffin will enter the imperial mausoleum to seal off the underground palace, so that she cannot be buried in the same cave with Emperor Yi after death. Related to Emperor Yi.

"After Prince Baifeng killed the entire Lu family, Emperor Fuyi's Zi Palace returned to the Emperor's Mausoleum, and the Empress and Emperor Yi were buried together. On the day the Emperor's Mausoleum was closed, Prince Baifeng knelt in the Hall of Enjoyment all night. My old man At that time, he was no older than Prince Baifeng, and he was yawning sleepily by the side. At night, Prince Baifeng's complexion was very bad, his lips were bloodless, but he knelt straight, like a stretched bowstring, stretched taut Tight. In the shadow of the lamp, I peeked at Prince Baifeng, and felt that he was so good-looking that he didn't look like a person with flesh and blood. It was so cold that it made people shiver.

"In the middle of the night, I don't know if it was a dream or it was real. I heard the prince say: 'Father, you plan on your son and guard against your queen. The ridiculous thing is that your queen never defends you. Your son is plotting against you, hoping that you will die soon. A rebellious prince sounds like a joke to others. Why does a prince rebel? The throne belongs to him. But at that time, I was indeed Rebellion, even if you are still alive, I will rise up, you are too cowardly. I think you are not worthy of the queen. Although you are not worthy of her, I just don’t like her, so let her die and haunt you But I'm dead, who will pester me? I met some people too early, and it was too late to understand what it means to have a first love. Some people...he said a specious sentence lightly, and I couldn't sleep at night... 'Later, the old man, I was really sleepy, I listened to it intermittently, and fell asleep.

"Later, Crown Prince Baifeng ascended the throne and became the future Emperor Min. He made the concubine the empress, made the girl named Beichen the Empress Dowager, and promoted the Tai Fu Lu Fanghong to be the right chancellor, but he often changed the left side. Min The emperor allowed the empress to intervene in politics, and he didn't even look at the memorials. He changed the rent and tax law, reduced the service life of the strong men, and released more than half of the maids in the palace. The empress asked him, and he only said, "I was born as a prince, I don't know much about it." The suffering of the people. I will only be pure-hearted and ascetic, build fewer palaces and accept fewer concubines, so that people in the world will work less for my lust.'

"The relationship between the left-handed party, the right-handed party, and relatives is very subtle, and they often impeach each other to Emperor Min. Old man, I have the courage to ask Emperor Min one day: 'Your Majesty, the previous dynasty was dark due to excessive party disputes...' Min The emperor laughed. When he laughed, even a dead branch would bloom when he saw it. He pinched my face and said like teasing a puppy: "There is a party of gentlemen, and there is a party of villains." .One, the gentleman is virtuous, and the villain is virtuous, and the wind blows the grass down. Two, the gentleman does not do something, and the villain does everything. Sometimes, only by appointing the villain can things be done. Third, they are afraid of me. Competing to show loyalty to me, hoping to gain the emperor's love. The ministers should have love and fear for me...so they won't lose all proportion.'

"Old man, I was young at that time, and I could neither read nor understand these words. I just felt curious and asked again: "The right minister...do you love Your Majesty?" Emperor Min thought for a while, and said lightly: "Probably Love and hate, in the world, only he and the queen are not afraid of me. But I don't need his kind of love.'”

"Later, it was suddenly rumored in the capital that the right chancellor, Lu Fanghong, was about to get married. It was autumn, and His Majesty, with blood on his hands, grinded the bamboo slices for a few days with a cold face, made a folding fan, and inscribed on the white fan. Ban Jieyu's "Song of the Tuan Fan" asked me to give the fan to Prime Minister Right as a gift for his marriage. I am illiterate old man, so I don't know what "Song of the Tuan Fan" is about. Prime Minister Right smiled and didn't take the fan, just with me Said: "Little Huangmen, Guangxiao wants to tell me that when it's cold, I will be like this fan in the future, useless. I'm sorry for him, but he did something wrong first in getting married." I don't I know what Emperor Min did wrong when he got married, but after that, there were no more rumors of the Right Prime Minister getting married in the capital."

The author has something to say: Qin Guangxiao: I have never heard that the Tai Tuo gets drunk when he touches wine.

Lu Fanghong: I have something to say, I want to borrow a glass of wine to tell you.
