I, Seimei, can't be an audiophile

Master Qingming reluctantly went to the palace to meet the Emperor.

It's not that he has a problem with the emperor, but that in this era, most people have a little opinion of the emperor.

The current Emperor Suzaku is passive and inactive, local politics has become arbitrary, the influence of the central government is insufficient, there are signs of getting rid of the imperial court, and there is turmoil in various places.

Although the people in the court obeyed the emperor on the surface, they actually despised the emperor who was unable to stabilize the court. At this time, the powerful ministers, such as the Fujiwara family, were even more worthy of the trust and pursuit of the court than the emperor.And the real royalists were even more angry with them, and were very disappointed with the emperor.

To put it bluntly, everyone is just giving the emperor a face, and on the surface everyone is doing well.But in fact, there are sparks everywhere, and the emperor's seat is not very stable.

Li Qingming had been called to do divination by the Suzaku Emperor before, and he fooled him once by relying on vague words.

At that time, Li Qingming didn't know how Lord Qingming and even He Mao's family stood in line in the government, so he could only talk about him from left to right.

But Lord Seimei is not like that, he doesn't think much of the current emperor in his heart.

The reason is simple. Capable people are naturally arrogant in their hearts. There are too few people who can convince Seimei to take up the assignment, and the emperor is certainly not one of them.

To Seimei-sama, the Emperor is more like an employer who pays him a salary. He will show the employer a customer-first and service-oriented spirit of service for the sake of salary, but this does not mean that he agrees with or respects the other party.

As I said before, the Fujiwara family is quite powerful now. The translation means that the Fujiwara family may have a greater voice than the emperor. Above the court, the Fujiwara family said that many people will listen and can mobilize the power of the court.

To be able to do this, of course, not only rely on family or money relationships, but the most important thing is connections.

Everyone in the Fujiwara family is not fuel-efficient, and no one wants to lag behind others when it comes to attracting contacts.

With Seimei's personality, he naturally disdains these wooing, but considering that his attitude also represents the Ka Mo family, most of the time Seimei will save face for them, and let most of them treat him with a mysterious and dangerous image. Stay away.

But about two years ago, something happened.

Hirashomon rebelled in Kanto, and the 68-year-old Tadafumi Fujiwara joined the war to conquer the rebel party.Later, he was sent by the emperor to conquer Seto and put an end to Fujiwara Junyou's rebellion.

Mr. Zhongbun is old but has repeatedly made military exploits, which aroused the jealousy of Da Nayan Fujiwara Miyai. Shiyai claimed that Zhongbun had not embarked on the journey and had already executed Pingjiang Gate, so there should be no rewards.

——Of course everyone knows that this is unrealistic. Mr. Zhongwen himself is a position similar to the commander-in-chief. Does he have to go to battle to kill the enemy in person to be considered an achievement?Not to mention that he conquered the west and subdued the rebel party later, this is really talking nonsense with open eyes.

Shi Lai's behavior disgusted many people. Only his half-brother Shifu bluntly said on the spot that meritorious deeds must be rewarded. Mr. Zhongwen is the commander-in-chief, so of course the final military exploits belong to him, regardless of whether he personally went to the battlefield or not. Wasn't he the one who commanded the battle?

Even if the [-]-step retreat was achieved by the soldiers themselves, logically speaking, after the turmoil, they should be heavily rewarded and lightly punished.

Of course, everyone felt that what Shifu said was more reasonable.It's like a project manager is in charge of a large-scale project. If the project is successful and the project manager does not personally build the building, shouldn't the project manager be paid?

Isn't that the truth?Ten thousand steps back, the project manager really doesn’t care about anything, as long as the project is successful, you should pay dividends to others according to the contract. This is a normal process, and the contract agreed by everyone is reasonable.Otherwise, who will do projects for you in the future?How else do you hire talent?

After this incident, the teacher assistant was promoted to Da Nayan, and he was the second rank.

——You may not be familiar with this name, and you can't imagine his relationship with Seimei-sama.

In fact, his daughter is Yasuko Fujiwara, the wife of Prince Chengming, and the woman who wrote ambiguous letters to Li Qingming before.

Master Qingming is not very clear about the matter between Li Qingming and Anzi, but he has a better impression of the teacher, and the reason is the reason mentioned before.Therefore, his impression of An Zi and even Prince Cheng Ming was not too bad.

But today's emperor, although he and Prince Chengming are brothers, but because his mother is more inclined to Prince Chengming, he is not too enthusiastic about the prince and even the teachers and assistants.

Although Lord Seimei didn't specify which faction he joined, everyone thought it was Kamo's family, but in fact he was more inclined to Shifu's side, or some factions that were more friendly to Shifu and Kamo's family.If people from these factions ask him for something, he is very happy to help.

But the current Emperor Suzaku is almost too close for him.

Seimei-sama secretly made a divination, knowing that the current emperor should step down at about the same time, but he did not tell his senior brother or anyone else about the result of the divination.

Later, when he came to modern times, he was curious to read the relevant parts of Abe Seimei in modern history, and knew that he was later admired by the new emperor and a person named "Fujiwara Michijo".

He didn't dig deep into the past of these two people to prevent his subjective judgment from being affected by knowing too much.After all, that should be the history of the parallel world, so it's impossible for him to be an official, isn't he?

In short, for this reason, he is not too enthusiastic about the current emperor.

But work still needs to be done, and he paid a visit to the emperor as requested.

Sure enough, the Emperor asked him some very boring things. On the surface, he was paying attention to the Ka Mo family and his current work. In fact, he seemed to be confused in his heart. Master Seimei wanted to tell him directly. Beat around the bush, dear!

"Qingming, you once said that prosperity is bound to decline, and it goes back and forth, did you already have a premonition..."

As he spoke, Emperor Suzaku paused, and then heaved a long sigh.

"If I'm not the emperor, can the next emperor revive us?"

This we, of course, do not refer to the country, but to their emperor's family.The selfishness in his bones is exactly what Seimei hates him the most.

As the emperor, when he obtains the highest honor and power, he also assumes responsibility. Inaction is the manifestation of the emperor's unwillingness to shoulder his own responsibilities.

Although Lord Qingming can understand that he doesn't like to be responsible, but he should be in charge of his affairs when he is in his position. Take responsibility for yourself.

"No one can really predict the future. In my opinion, the future is like running water, which will change at any time due to the stones thrown in. We can only predict the possibility and the most likely high probability event."

Seimei-sama replied like this.

"In a very high dimension, I can answer you about an overall trend. Yes, after a thousand years, after a long period of time, even the emperor and the imperial court will no longer exist, and a new system will run this society.

This is just like the river water will eventually flow into the sea, which is the general trend and the inevitable trend of the times.

The change of time and the change of people will naturally change the whole society.But in the short run, I can't tell you exactly when a certain stone fell into the water. "

Emperor Suzaku felt pain in his heart. After a thousand years, even the emperor and the court would no longer exist?

So what is the reason for his hard support and insisting on being an emperor that he doesn't even like under pressure?

He looked as if he had aged several years all of a sudden.

"There are so many courtiers, only you are willing to tell the truth. Go, don't tell others about our conversation today."

Seimei withdrew after saluting, and went straight home.He did a divination casually, and he knew it in his heart.

——The empress dowager made a move.

Emperor Suzaku's mother, Fujiwara Onko, has controlled Emperor Suzaku since she was a child. She is not obedient. Emperor Suzaku is a puppet of the Fujiwara family.

Continuous wars and wrong political judgments have caused turmoil in the court. The Fujiwara family needs someone to take the blame and launch a new puppet.

Obviously, Prince Chengmei, who also has a wife surnamed Fujiwara, is a good choice, not to mention that he was favored by his mother, but unfortunately he was relatively young, so he did not become the emperor.

Emperor Suzaku is too smart. He knows his situation and knows that he is powerless, so he is more painful and entangled, which makes him appear even more incompetent and weak.

He can't be too strong, and he won't get support if he is strong, it will only make him die faster.

But weakness not only did not get support, it even made the originally rare royalists lose confidence in him.

When the empress dowager put pressure on him, he knew that he was abandoned by everyone, including his mother.

And what Qingming said to him today was an extremely fatal blow to him.When he knew that he was trying to insist on being a precarious emperor, it was actually very ridiculous. Even the royal family and the imperial court would no longer exist in the future, so what would he think?

Qingming knew in his heart that the poor Emperor Suzaku would not last long.In the case of predicting who will be the next emperor, he should actually stand in line as soon as possible.Moreover, Yasuko Fujiwara belonged to Shifu's faction, and it was not too exclusive for him to join them.

But so what?No matter who is the emperor, he is in awe of the truly capable onmyoji.

Lord Qingming suddenly felt that what Lord Baoxian said was right, he should indeed be independent from the He Mao family.

Even if the senior brother protects the constitution, sometimes he has to consider the needs of the entire He Mao family, and is coerced by the interests of the He Mao family, especially when it comes to power struggles.

For example, which faction to support, I am afraid that Lord Baoxian cannot decide on his own, but is negotiated by the He Mao clan. Even if the He Mao clan has a supported faction, individual clansmen will have their own choices. One family invites disaster.

But it will be very different after he becomes independent.It is very easy for Seimei to master the Abe family. The Abe family is not a family of onmyoji, and a great onmyoji like him is the target of the Abe family.

If they knew that he was going to leave Kamo and become independent, the members of the Abe family would probably be overjoyed, thinking that he was the best patriarch who could carry forward the Abe family.

And he can divert a new Abe family, an Abe family who specializes in the Onmyoji faction, and only some people who obey him will join this family.Then, if he chooses a suitable faction, he can gain power in the name of the new Onmyoji family.

Then with him, no matter how He Mao's family lined up, he would be able to protect his senior brother.

Not to mention, Yuan Boya, who was a descendant of the former emperor, might be more likely to be involved in the turmoil of the court than senior brother Baoxian.

This was not the first time, he was a little tired of cutting off those annoying guys again and again, and his shelf for placing spell tools was almost full.

The turmoil in the court is very close, he can't just look at his eyes, if he wants to protect important people, he needs to seize power, become independent from He Mao's family, and create a new Onmyoji family and school, which seems to be an inevitable development.

"Troubleshooting, I didn't want to do this at first. Is there a certain inevitability to fate?"

——Some things cannot be avoided even if you want to avoid them, such as river water must flow into the sea.

The author has something to say: Today's list is complete.Calculated according to the day, I still owe two chapters, try to keep it as much as possible, and make up slowly in the future.
