After listening to Xiao Tai's words, Xiao Chu felt a little confused.
Accident?
What an accident?
Seeing Xiao Chu staring at him with confusion, Xiao Tai smiled and then continued: "I remember that back then, Emperor Taizu led all the generals to conquer the world, overthrow the rule of aliens, and responded to the rule of Chinese nation, and went through thousands of times.
All difficulties and dangers. Every minister who followed Emperor Taizu made great contributions. These people either grew up with Taizu, formed deep friendship with Taizu, or made great contributions, so Taizu treated all the ministers
He also has great trust, and the generals who participated in conquering the world were also trusted by Emperor Taizu and never doubted it."
Hearing this, Xiao Chu nodded, but then there was a trace of confusion on his face. The birds were gone, the good bow was hidden, the cunning rabbit died, and the lackeys were cooked. Shouldn’t it be very common under the centralized rule in ancient times?
Could it be that Emperor Taizu is really not afraid of his generals and ministers’ rebellion?
Xiao Chu couldn't figure it out, but he didn't ask another question, but listened to Xiao Tai's continued to tell.
"Emperor Taizu once thought about clearing the matter, but when everyone thought of his life and death, he felt unbearable, so he didn't take that step in the end." Xiao Tai's eyes were full of brilliance, as if he was recalling memories.
When I was with Emperor Taizu, I fought in the north and south.
"However, Emperor Taizu also made the worst plan, because Emperor Taizu knew very well that the world was the hearts of the people, and the heroes who fought with Taizu would definitely breed arrogance and luxury as the power in his hands increased
The heart, but if it were just greedy for the mould, it would be fine. If they tried to get involved in the artifact, Emperor Taizu would have decided on a solution long ago."
"Oh? What's the method?" Xiao Chu looked at Xiao Tai with his eyes and asked at him.
"Emperor Taizu once left a sword, which can kill the slandered ministers."
When Xiao Chu heard Xiao Tai's words, he was a little shocked, "Shangfang Sword?"
"No, it's not called Shangfang Sword." Xiao Tai said.
"This sword is called the Emperor's Sword, which is hung in the Taiji Hall. If the ministers control the government and oppress the people, the Emperor can hold a sword and kill him at the steps."
After hearing this, Xiao Chu was a little puzzled.
Isn’t this an ordinary sword? It’s also called the Emperor’s Sword? If a great god really comes to imitating it, will he really give you a chance to swing the sword? What is this method?
"But now all the ministers in the court have turned to Wang Jiuling, and I decided that the little emperor in the court does not seem to have the possibility of wielding his sword."
Xiao Chu spread his hands, and it was obvious that he had no expectations for such a sword left by Emperor Taizu.
However, Xiao Tai shook his head and said, "When Emperor Taizu was burying the sky, he had long thought of the worst situation. Therefore, Emperor Taizu delivered the Emperor's Sword to me, so that I could hold the Emperor's Sword and supervise the public.
minister!"
What?
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Chu was suddenly shocked.
In other words, the sword that can cut people at will is actually here at Xiao Tai?
Wouldn't that say that as long as Xiao Tai took the sword and cut off Wang Jiuling, it would be over? Then he cut off all his followers. Although it was simple and crude, it was indeed a feasible method.
Xiao Tai looked at Xiao Chu in shock and couldn't help laughing again, then continued, "Yes, things are indeed as you thought. However, although I have the right to hold the sword, I want it.
Killing a court official, especially the prime minister who is the head of all officials, is not that easy. With the emperor above and the people below, it is not something that can be solved by killing one person at will."
Speaking of this, Xiao Chu gradually understood what Xiao Tai meant. The so-called "unrighteous name" means that the words are not right. Catching thieves and taking stolen goods, and catching evil people and taking scammers. Xiao Tai's words mean that as long as you find evidence of Wang Jiuling's rebellion, you can deal with him directly.
.
Looking at Xiao Chu's expression full of relief, he laughed and laughed again. Sure enough, this little guy is very smart, and he can see through it at a glance.
"So, our task now is to wait and see, right?"
Xiao Tai didn't say anything, but gave Xiao Chu a positive look. Obviously, judging from the current development trend, waiting for Wang Jiuling to show his own feet and show his fangs is the best way.
At that time, as long as Xiao Tai raises his arms, the new civil and military officials and military officials who serve the country will definitely support each other. Isn’t it a matter of solving Wang Jiuling?
"Actually, when things have developed here, there have been some things that Emperor Taizu had never expected. Back then, Emperor Taizu attached great importance to the prince of the East Palace and began to plan the ministers of the regent for the prince early, but who knew that Emperor Taizu was the one who knew that Emperor Taizu was very concerned about the prince's prince.
The appointed successor actually passed away early, so it gave the fourth prince, who was second only to the prince in the city at that time, a chance."
Hearing this, Xiao Chu nodded. He had vaguely understood these things, but what he knew was not too detailed.
"At that time, Emperor Taizu was devoted to the heavens, and the prince was equally worthy of the prince in less than two months. Before the funeral of Emperor Taizu, he left the world. At that time, the prince had not yet established the next generation of successors, so the four who had outstanding achievements at that time had made outstanding contributions at that time
The prince naturally saw this opportunity and widely won over the ministers in the court. Many ministers accused the fact that the fourth prince came to power because of his high prestige and great contributions."
It turns out that there are such secret matters in the court today. Xiao Chu tried it and saw that there was indeed a certain chance of history!
"However, the descendants left by the crown prince were basically secretly seized by the fourth prince. No one in the court dared to speak out, but this also left a hidden danger to the court, that is, the crown prince once had a young son and a young daughter, and the Qing Dynasty was with the Qing Dynasty.
The whereabouts of the sacrificial period are unknown, and no one knows it. Perhaps it was Taizu's blessing that allowed these two people to survive. However, the fourth prince's cruel harm to the same clan has been criticized by many ministers."
"Although all the ministers were obedient on the surface, many court officials were grateful for the kindness of Emperor Taizu and secretly searched for it, but there was no result for many years."
Um?
At this time, Xiao Chu was a little confused again? What does Xiao Tai mean to say these to him?
Seeing Xiao Chu looking at him with confusion, Xiao Tai said slowly, "Little guy, the prince is the legal successor chosen by Emperor Taizu. After the prince dies, the emperor should choose from the son of the prince. The fourth prince is
It is usually a violation of the ancestral system. I did not agree to the fourth prince's rise to power at the beginning, but once I expressed my opposition, the world would inevitably fall into rebellion again. Moreover, the prince's descendants are gone, so I have to compromise for the sake of the people of the world and the stability of the country.
!”
Speaking of this, Xiao Chu seemed to understand Xiao Tai's meaning. If the prince's descendants were still alive, I believe Xiao Tai would definitely support the prince's descendants to the throne without hesitation, but the prince's descendants are not here now, so for the sake of the whole world.
If he stabilizes himself, he will also strive to protect the current emperor!
Suddenly, Xiao Chu came up with a possibility. When Xiao Tai was promoted and demoted to Duke An of the Kingdom of China, would it have something to do with his support for the prince's descendants to the throne?
Calculate the time. Twenty years ago, the emperor in the court was not the original emperor, but the fourth prince mentioned by Xiao Tai. If this is the case, it seems reasonable that Xiao Tai was seized from military power.
Yes, you should know that in ancient times, the superiors always liquidated those who opposed him.
If Xiao Tai opposes the Fourth Prince, then if the other person does not kill him, he will probably have done his best!
