Biography of Emperor Mo

Dou Chen Palace.

"His Royal Highness, King Ye is here." The servant walked into the palace to report.

Lu Yingzhuan didn't look at the boy, but just put his eyes on the inkstone in his hand, his eyes were far away, "Call him in."

"Whoo."

The boy went out, and Lu Yingmo walked in through the knee-high threshold of the door.The palace where the crown prince lives is of unusual grandeur.He made a salute, "My brother has seen the crown prince."

Lu Yingzhuan bowed his hands in return, and then spread out his palms, "Please sit down."

The two sat down.

Lu Yingmo's face was kind and smiling, with a friendly smile in the corner of his eyes, which made people feel relaxed. The 20-year-old boy is extremely handsome, delicate and cute, it's hard not to like him. "My younger brother thinks that he hasn't visited the crown prince since he was crowned, and he feels ashamed in his heart, so he came here today."

However, Lu Yingzhuan never let go of his guard in front of this man. He never regarded this younger brother as a person as simple as his appearance. Unlimited welcome. You are also a county king now, after the division of the mansion, how do you feel?"

"Not good." Lu Yingmo put away his smile, and his expression suddenly became serious.

Lu Yingzhuan was puzzled, "Why?"

"On the day I was canonized as the king of the county, my servant died of poisoning just because he took a bite of the pastry sent by King Xiang. King Xiang and my compatriots can't tolerate me as a county king. I don't know what to do!" Lu Yingmo looked at Lu Yingzhuan timidly, there was still a bit of fear in his eyebrows.

Lu Yingzhuan patted the table, "What?!" He never thought that King Xiang would do such a cruel thing to his own brother.

Lu Yingmo lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, "It's he who won't let me."

"But you are all children of Concubine Li Gui. How could he do this?"

"Since I was a child, both the concubine mother and the King of Xiang didn't like me. The concubine mother has always loved the king of Xiang and ignored me, but fortunately, there is still a mother-child relationship at least. The elder brother has never liked me, yes I have no feelings. There is no family relationship between him and me."

"In that case, why doesn't King Ye vote for me?" Lu Yingzhuan smiled and said to him with concern, "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, you join the prince's party and help me deal with King Xiang, okay? "

Lu Yingmo raised his head and looked at Lu Yingzhuan in shock, "What does the Crown Prince mean, do you want me to rely on you?"

"Exactly."

"This...isn't it forming a party?" Lu Yingmo said hesitantly, but his eyes and tone were extremely firm, "Father doesn't allow princes to form parties, right?"

Lu Yingzhuan smiled confidently, "Don't tell. No one will know."

Lu Yingmo looked at the other party with watery eyes, "Then, crown prince, can you promise to protect me under King Xiang's despotic power?"

Lu Yingmo nodded, "Okay."

"Okay." Lu Yingmo finally returned to that smiling look, "That's all. I promise you!"

Lu Ying bowed in seal script, "It's a deal."

Lu Yingmo raised his hand in salute.

When he came out of Douchen Palace, Feng Xiao kept walking in front of Lu Yingmo. He looked around and listened to all directions. He woke up his spirits and absorbed all the wind and grass in his senses.Lu Yingmo followed behind him.They didn't relax their vigilance until they were almost walking back to Prince Ye's mansion.

Feng Xiao came to Lu Yingmo's side, "Master, why do you want to join the prince's camp?"

"I'm just following my father's will."

Lu Yingmo's attitude was as if nothing had happened, as if he was talking about something as natural as flowing water.

"Think about it, King Xiang is now more powerful than the prince. He holds the military power in his hands, and sooner or later he will be feared by the father. It is too late for the father to suspect him. He will never abolish the prince who is famous for his benevolence and righteousness. The throne was passed on to him. I am a brother from his mother. When the royal party is destroyed in the future, I will not be let go. At that time, the fish in the pond will be affected, and all jade and stone will be destroyed. I will never recover. "

"What the father wants is the balance of power. Now that King Xiang is so powerful, it is the time when the father wants to help the prince. I am an adult, so I am naturally qualified to be someone he can use. They are all pawns. Of course I want to help the prince." Be a chariot, and never be a pawn. Then why don't I break up with King Xiang earlier and tell my father that I am not on King Xiang's side?"

"The master's strategy is admired by the subordinates."

Feng Xiao made a bow and said slowly.

"I was able to see the prince today, and found that the prince can bear it. He speaks beautifully, has a deep sense of the city, and has a lot of thoughts. Every word he said has been embellished in his mind before he can say it, especially nice. The prince's scheming It's too deep. The subordinates feel that he is much more difficult to deal with than King Xiang. On the contrary, they usually hear people's evaluation of those two. Most of the Beijing Zhongfeng reviews think that the prince is too benevolent, like a gentleman, not like A monarch. On the contrary, among His Majesty's sons, King Xiang is unparalleled in domineering, domineering, arrogant and arrogant, just like a monarch should be."

"This statement is wrong." Lu Yingmo's eyes were smiling, relaxed and at ease, "It is the courage of a man to have the ambition to repay others, but not to serve others. He can bear some things, and then he can deal with big things and bear them." The one who can be an emperor is what people can't bear. Those who are dazzling and sharp are ordinary people. If you want to show your sharpness, you must also restrain your sharpness. The real king is the corporal who is courteous and courteous to his friends. .”

Feng Xiao nodded, "That's right! One more friend means one less enemy. Even people who I despise can act as if they are friends. Such a person is more difficult than a simple-minded person. Do too much."

"That's right." Lu Yingmo couldn't help feeling emotional, "That's why I hate dealing with the prince. That person's thoughts are too difficult to guess. I have to concentrate on guessing every thought of him. This is a very tiring task. I hate dealing with an enemy with such a complicated mind, I am afraid that some flaws will be exposed. Compared with King Xiang, the prince is more in line with the standard of an emperor."

Dou Chen Palace.

Lu Yingzhuan was sitting in the study, with an elderly middle-aged man standing beside the table.

This man is Wang Kuang, the queen's younger brother and a core member of her relatives.He was wearing a plain gray Confucian suit, with a tidy hair crown and a square scarf on his head.With a righteous face and a bookish look, he is a famous Confucianist all over the world.

Unlike his elder brother Wang Shou who was an official in the outer dynasty, Wang Kuang's position has always been in the inner court.In the past, he was teaching the prince to read, but now he is planning for the prince.Although he is already a counselor, his official position is still Prince Taifu.

The prince is his nephew, and he has watched the prince grow up since he was a child. He is both a teacher and a student, and also a relative. Both of them regard each other as their closest confidants.

Wang Kuang is a very contradictory person.He grew up reading sage books, and his lifelong wish was to support a wise king.As the saying goes, if one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.As a man of the Wang family, it is easy to become famous, but he gave up the opportunity to be an official in a foreign dynasty, with a good reputation and a wealth of wealth.He elected a teacher who devoted himself to being the eldest prince, and taught him the principles of a sage, so that Great Liang would have a wise monarch in the future.

However, when he waded into this muddy water, he realized that his past thoughts were too naive.The reality is far from being so beautiful. Superstitious belief in the principles of sages will only make oneself a stepping stone and a victim of others in the midst of cruel schemes.

The way of Confucius and Mencius only taught people how to be a good emperor, but did not teach people how to deal with the bloody storm in politics.In the court power struggle, either you die or I die. Whoever loses will die without a whole body. People can only learn to be cruel, vicious, vicious and unscrupulous to win.

Xunzi said: The way of kingship does not work, and it is not impossible to practice hegemony.Those who are ignorant of knowledge and justice, and who regard riches and wealth as prosperity, are laymen.Wear shallow clothes, wear the crown of the fruit, ignore the law of the ancestors and follow the tricks of the troubled times, miscellaneous studies, don't know the law and the queen and the system, don't know the etiquette and righteousness, but kill poetry and books.Han Feizi said that the monarch mainly controls his subordinates by means of usage, technique, and force.

Therefore, he had no choice but to calculate the hearts of the people in the world, and had to make himself a vicious counselor to advise and plan strategies for the prince.Didn't Gu Ling's teachers all bear the responsibility of helping the crown prince become emperor?He wants to remove all obstacles on the way for the prince to seize the throne, and make him ascend to the throne of the monarch.

For more than 20 years, he has always taught the prince that he must be ruthless in dealing with political opponents, use the most vicious methods, and never show any kindness.However, when dealing with the people of the world, one must have a heart of benevolence and love for the common people, so that all people can enjoy peace and live a good life.

"Master, what do you think of Lu Yingmo's matter? He said that King Xiang couldn't tolerate him, and he had already sent someone to poison him on the day he was canonized as the county king. I don't doubt it. As far as I know, In the past 20 years, he has been at odds with King Xiang, and everyone in the palace knows this. I have already recruited him into the prince/son/party for my own use. There is no mistake or omission in this move, right?" Lu Ying Zhuan's voice was full of sincere humility.This teacher is the person he respects the most in his life.

Wang Kuang thought for a while, and said, "Your Highness is not wrong. However, we still have one move to go."

"What chess?"

"Cut off King Ye's back path."

Lu Yingzhuan thought, Wang Kuang, his think tank, always had a unique vision when looking at things, which made him far behind and willing to bow down.Wang Kuang's wisdom is indeed far superior to his own. "How do you say that?"

Wang Kuang said seriously, "Your Highness, think about it, King Ye is the younger brother of King Xiang. King Xiang is always closer to him in blood than your Highness. It is unknown which side he will fall to."

"The teacher means that he pretended to surrender?"

"No." Wang Kuang shook his head, "He is sincere. However, we don't know what pressure Concubine Li Gui will put on him, and we don't know if he is determined to resist others calling him unfilial and disrespectful, whether he can bear these morals Condemnation. Therefore, we must cut his back so that he cannot withdraw, but can only stay on our side, and there is no turning back. In case he cannot bear the pressure and succumbs, he will return to the embrace of Concubine Li and King Xiang."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Lu Yingzhuan clapped his hands in admiration, "Teacher is indeed very calculating. So what should we do?"

"It's very simple." Wang Kuang smiled calmly.In these words, the feather fan and the towel are full of energy, and they have calculated all the tricks of the world. "Yiyu spread the news everywhere in Beijing, telling everyone in Wuwei that King Ye has surrendered to the prince, and he is a member of our prince's party. As a teacher, I promise that within three days, Concubine Li and King Xiang will definitely be completely with King Ye. Fall out!"
