100049429 Chapter 267 Entrust an Orphan

The emperor covered his mouth, endured his cough, and was giving Fang Zheng a face-to-face advice...

"Among the four armies of Longwu, Shence, Shenwu, and Longxiang, Feng Qiudao of Longwu Army and Han Dashi of Longxiang Army should be trusted. Fang Zheng, you can hold the handwritten order of the tiger talisman and the couplet. Go to their military camp to mobilize troops. Remember. This is a secret matter. Before the army moves, you must not let go of any news, otherwise the matter will be over."

"yes."

"As for the City Defense Force, you should act according to the opportunity. Qin Chong, the deputy general of the City Defense Force, is stubborn and unaware of this person. Once you must follow the prince, you will look for an opportunity in the military camp to kill him and seize military power."

Fang Zheng trembled all over, his face suddenly turned pale, and his lips trembled, "Your Majesty, what are you kidding! Killing Qin Chong in the city defense camp is very dangerous! Weichen is under 20 years old this year. He is still an ignorant child. His fragile ones will break when they touch it. Please let others do this,"

The emperor glared at him dissatisfiedly: "No hope! You have allocated hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the treasury these days to pay military salaries to the soldiers of the City Defense Forces. You pay for the casualties and invite people to win the hearts of others everywhere. Are you doing all this in vain? Don't worry, ordinary soldiers will not understand these things in court battles. Whoever treats them will be loyal to them. Now you have a great reputation in the City Defense Forces. As long as you control those senior generals and their personal soldiers, this matter will be successful."

It's as simple as you said? Fang Zheng stared at the emperor suspiciously. The old man wouldn't want to fool me into dying, right?

After hesitating for a long time, Fang Zheng still felt that the danger was too high if he could not believe the emperor's words. He decided to reason with Qin Chong.

It’s reasonable to travel all over the world. Everyone is a gentleman who has studied. How bad are they fighting and killing? What should I do if I get hurt?

Fang Zheng thinks he is a pacifist. If you can do nothing, try not to move, no matter what disputes and differences are. If you want to solve it perfectly, the highest level is not to kill, it is peace."

Seeing Fang Zheng's eyes kept turning around, the emperor knew that this kid must have had some bad idea. So the emperor snorted coldly: "This matter is important. It concerns Guohu. Don't be smart. Dazhuo who broke Lian, otherwise Lian would be left with a will, and let you follow Lian to die!"

Fang Zheng shook all over and said with a handsome face: "No, Master, you have to let me live well, otherwise you will not be able to bear it if you become a widow, right?"

The old man is so cruel that he actually wants to take me to bury him. Is it so much that the emperor is so mentally

dark?

The emperor snorted, "Then do as you tell me about the couplet. No other details are allowed, otherwise the couplet will be killed!"

"yes

After a breath of relief, the emperor looked at Fang Zheng with deep eyes. After a moment, the emperor sighed: "You are less than twenty years old. It's a different person. Now he is still studying in school and taking a scholar. Lian puts such a burden on your shoulders. Fang Zheng, are you weird Lian?"

Fang Zheng was stunned and shook his head quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I have never blamed you. To be honest, I don't know whether you are a good emperor. But I know that you are a kind elder. Since you met you, you have been tolerating me. Taking care of me, I have always been inspiring to do some small things to repay you. This is what I should do,"

The emperor sighed: "There are five princes in Lian, but now the only ones who can trust you and Wubing. The other princes are either ambitious and secretly unjust, or have no ambitions, and only know how to make friends with literati and travel around the mountains and rivers. Lian is really heartbreaking to them!"

After a quick breath, the emperor finally slowed down and sighed: "It has been more than 40 years since Lianyuan ascended the throne. During these forty years, wars in the Chinese Dynasty have been constantly chasing, foreign tribes frequently knocked on the border, and civil rebellions in various places have been constantly rebelling. What Lian has done in recent years is to suppress, appease, and resist. Lianyisheng seems to be doing the same thing. Lenovo strengthens the army and build a iron-blooded army that makes the enemy scared. Lenovo reforms, and

Let’s make a set of laws that benefit the people, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Lian still have many ambitions. Unfortunately, they have been hindered by these struggles in the court. So far, the Emperor has achieved nothing. What makes Lian even more sad is that the princes of Lian have more ambitions than the other, and the other is more greedy and cunning. Family affairs and national affairs seem to have failed. I’m sorry for the ancestors and ancestors.”

The emperor became more and more sad as he spoke, and in the end he was already full of tears, constantly wiping his tears.

Fang Zheng was speechless and could not think of a word to comfort him. He could only lower his head silently and listen to the emperor's convex voice without saying a word.

Seeing the emperor's twilight years, tears flowed from his desolate and aging face, Fang Zheng's heart couldn't help but feel a little bitter.

Born in the imperial family, is it a blessing or a misfortune? In the imperial family, a little little thing about serving tea and cooking medicine has been deeply utilitarian. The emperor's life is a kind of

.

After a long time, the emperor gradually calmed down. Looking at Fang Zheng, Hunye's old eyes couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"Of the five princes in Lian, only King Fu and King of Thailand are still responsible. Unfortunately, the King of Thailand is lazy and only knows how to travel around the mountains and rivers. Lian is relieved by him, and he inevitably feels more disappointed. " King Fu is less than twenty years old, and his temperament is too simple. Although his heart is kind and innocent, he lacks some courage and strategy. His temperament is too honest. If one day he reaches the great treasure, he will inevitably be taken advantage of by a traitor. However, everything has its disadvantages and benefits. If King Fu is slightly tempered, with his simple and kind nature, he will be able to treat the people well in the future and be a wise king. Fang Zheng. You met Wuyan and are classmates with deep affection. This friendship is very rare. Lian hopes that you can help Wuyan in the future, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and serve loyalty to the new king for the rest of your life. Can you do it?"

Fang Zheng's mind exploded when he heard this, and his ears buzzed. He was stunned for a moment.

To put this in mind, is it possible that the candidate for the new crown prince is fat?

Before the huge surprise could be revealed, Fang Zheng thought about it carefully again, and then was shocked again.

The emperor's words clearly turned to him and asked his orphans to be entrusted!

Fang Zheng suddenly looked up, and only the emperor's old and tired face was the emperor, and a little relieved.

The emperor is too tired. He has been tired all his life. Now that the deadline is approaching, it is time to rest.

Fang Zheng took a few steps back, knelt down on the smooth floor of the bedroom, respectfully kowtowed to the emperor three times, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I will do my best to push King Fu to the prince's figure safely and smoothly until he inherits the throne and rules the world. I vow that he will be loyal to King Fu throughout his life!"

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, then stared at Fang Zheng seriously, with a complex light flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Several times of famous ministers from ancient times to the present. The young man who is as successful as you is, is unique. The royal family is not stingy to give you high officials and generous salaries, but you must remember to be cautious and vicious. If you are not good at power or do not engage in power, you don't want to see Lian. Many years later, there will be another second Pan Shangshu in the court. The king is weak and the ministers are strong. For the king and the country, it is all a way to cause disaster. Fang Zheng, don't become the ten ancient sinners of the Hua Dynasty in the future, otherwise, even if Lian is dead, you will see Lian's means! Do you understand?"

Fang Zheng was shocked, then his face turned pale, cold sweat kept coming out, and his clothes were wet in an instant.

The most ruthless imperial family is the true meaning of this sentence, Fang Zheng has realized today.

For the sake of the continuation of the country and the orthodox family of the Heavenly Family, the emperor must have made arrangements and left behind orders for different people in advance, including himself. If he really becomes a rioter who usurped power, someone will soon receive the orders of the previous emperor. At that time, what is waiting for him will be a knife and axe.

For the emperor, they may long for sincere family affection and a family that makes people feel warm and peaceful, but the most important thing in his heart is the consolidation of the country and lasting for thousands of years. This is the bottom line in the emperor's heart. No one, including Fang Zheng, is allowed to violate this bottom line at all. Otherwise, even if the emperor favors him, he will kill him without hesitation. This has nothing to do with personal emotions. For the sake of orthodoxy, killing anyone is worth it and should be done.

Fang Zheng suddenly felt cold all over his body, which was a kind of coldness deep into his bones. The weak and powerless emperor lying on the sickbed was in Fang Zheng's eyes for the first time. Fang Zheng seemed to have suddenly realized that the old man in front of him who had always been kind to him, he had another identity, that is, the emperor who was arrogant, holding the life and death of the people in the world, supporting the survival of the country and the country, and stepping on thousands of white bones to rule the world!

Are all emperors ruthless? Without exception?

Will the fat man become emperor in the future? Will he also become like this? Will he also be suspicious of his power and chaos? Didn’t the Emperor and Pan Shangshu, who were very close friends when they were young?

As if seeing himself many years later, Fang Zheng suddenly felt a sense of fear.

I am a time traveler, I am a time traveler with no ambitions. I just want to live the free life of a playboy with luxury. Once upon a time, I was deeply trapped in this turbid court struggle and could not extricate myself? Once upon a time, a young man under the age of twenty, I have become a second-rank official who is envied by everyone and a hereditary marquis? Are these what I need?

Looking at the emperor who was breathing on the sickbed, Fang Zheng felt a sense of pity in his heart again.

This old man has been busy maintaining his imperial power all his life. He is afraid that others will take away the power from him. He is afraid that other people's every move will affect the supreme imperial power. He even misses the transfer of power when the oil is exhausted.

He is not only an emperor that everyone respects, but also a poor old man. Maybe he understands that he has no ambition and no intention to be in the officialdom, but he still leaves a decree. This is not distrust, but an instinctive defense of the emperor.

Fang Zheng felt mixed feelings, mixed feelings, disappointment, disappointment, pity, and disorganized thoughts. He didn't know what to say.

"Wei Minister, I obey the order." After thinking about it, Fang Zheng finally said nothing and kowtowed and replied calmly.

The emperor closed his eyes, sighed, and said weakly: "Fang Zheng, don't blame Lian. Lian is responsible for the country and country handed down from generation to generation. Lian still hopes that it will be passed down from generation to generation, and does not want it to make any mistakes. You will know whether the imperial family is ruthless in the future. As long as you keep your duty carefully, Lianhe Wuya will give you everything you want, whether it is now or in the future."

The prince's imperial chariot was parked in the square outside Jingyang Palace. Nearly a hundred ceremonial warriors and the little yellow gate stood quietly around the imperial chariot, waiting for the prince to board the chariot.

The prince stood in front of Jingyang Palace but did not move. He looked at the emperor's bedroom with his eyes dazzled. Not long after, he saw a group of eunuchs, the palace maids and the imperial physician respectfully retreating from the bedroom. The prince's eyes were a little uneasy.

There was a gentle sound of footsteps behind me, and you didn’t need to see that I must be the King of Shou.

"Your Highness, didn't you say that you would go back to your mansion to invite a civilian miracle doctor to your father? Why are you still standing here and not moving?" King Shou sneered and stared at the prince fearlessly, his tone full of ridicule and ridicule.

The prince did not look back, but stared at the emperor's bedroom in a daze, and replied faintly: "Don't you also want to go back to your house to offer the thousand-year-old snow to your father? Why haven't you gone yet?"

King Shou laughed: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is a filial person. He serves his father and does his best. I am also a son of man. How dare you let Your Highness be beautiful in the past? But if Your Highness wants to treat others, it is better to treat yourself first."

The prince frowned and turned around and fattened King Shou and said lightly: "Why did King Shou say this?"

King Shou sneered: "I won't mention my father's serious illness. His Royal Highness's heart disease is also very serious. After being the crown prince for ten years, I'm afraid I feel that this position is not very stable now, right?"

The prince's eyes swept over the King of Shou, stared at the bedroom with a daze, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Shou does not need to care too much about Gu's affairs. You should be careful of yourself. Since Gu is the prince, he will always be the prince. Maybe, maybe it is more than the prince!"

After saying that, the prince brushed his sleeves and looked at the bedroom deeply again, then turned around and walked down the white jade steps with the word "Jingyang", carefully tidied up the crown prince's hat on his head, climbed onto the imperial chariot and said in a low voice: "Go back to the house."

The chariot carried by sixteen people slowly walked outside the West Palace Gate. The ceremonial warrior holding the golden gourd scepter in his hands opened the way. Wherever he passed, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace knelt down and saluted them. They did not dare to stand up until the chariot was far away.

Outside the gate of Jingyang Palace, King Shou stared at the prince's chariot with resentment and suddenly sneered: "The weight of the tripod, is it that you are the only one in the world? I want to ask! Do you think you can only do it if you are the only one in the world when the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind?"

In the imperial carriage, the prince sat upright and looked straight, with a fierce look in his eyes. Looking at the palace maid and eunuch who knelt down to him by the side of the road, a feeling of being above all sentient beings spread. The prince's fist was clenched tightly until it trembled, and he said to himself with hatred: "Gu is the prince, and Gu is not the only prince! No one wants to depose Gu, anyone!"

What were the two of them talking about in the bedroom?

Suddenly, a huge panic was filled with anxiety. It was like dark clouds covering the sky, and it was heavy in the heart of the prince.

Three days later, an order occurred on the morning court

The Censor Taichung inherited Zheng Ru. After the last failure to impeach the crown prince, he once again raised the four major mistakes of the crown prince in the Jinjian Hall, and insisted that the emperor depose the crown prince and establish a new crown prince.

Zheng Ru ignored the prince who had already turned pale and made a generous speech in front of all civil and military officials. All the mistakes and crimes committed by the prince in the past ten years after he was enthroned were well-founded, and evidenced, which caused an uproar in the civil and military affairs of the court.

What is even more surprising is that Fang Zheng, who unexpectedly said good things to the prince last time and obstructed the dethronement of the prince, once again surprised him this time.

After Zheng Ru made a statement, Fang Zheng was the first to stand out of the court and responded to Zheng Ru's proposal and asked the emperor to depose the crown prince.

Under the resentful eyes of the prince, Fang Zheng looked calm and expressed his extreme pain and disappointment at the prince's rebellious actions over the years in an passionate tone. He also hoped that the emperor would establish a new crown prince to conquer the hearts of the whole world.

"Fang Zheng! You, you are a fickle villain!" Guo Renliang, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, jumped out first and cursed: "You" Last time, you said that the prince will be a wise and virtuous king in the future. Please do not listen to slander and not do the act of abusing the country by deposing the eldest son and establishing the young? Why has it changed again today? Villain! Villain!"

Guo Renliang is the prince's loyal confidant. At this time, the prince was surrounded by enemies. Guo Renliang couldn't help but feel anxious, so he spoke without saying anything.

Fang Zheng took a step back in surprise, opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "Are you crazy? How could I say that? Did you not wake up at that time?"

Guo Renliang didn't breathe in a breath and almost fainted.

He knew that Fang Zheng was shameless, but he didn't expect Fang Zheng to be so shameless. He refused to admit his account and kept his words clean. Such a person is still tall, "It's a misfortune of the country!

"You" you scoundrel! You clearly said it, but you didn't admit it!" Guo Renliang wanted to curse.

"I didn't say it!" Fang Zheng turned his head and twisted his neck and denied it.

"You said it!"

"I don't!"

"You said it!"

"I definitely didn't say it!"

"Do you dare to swear to the sky?" Guo Renliang was entangled with relentless obedience.

Fang Zheng opened his eyes wide and spoke in silence.

Guo Renliang looked at him with a sneer: "What? Don't you dare?"

All the civil and military officials of the court also looked at Fang Zheng with contempt, seeing how he responded.
