The Holy Master was sitting behind the big case, his face looking very ugly.
Xu Jian's words were like a sharp knife piercing his heart, cutting open the current peace and tearing open the old sores that had been buried since the struggle for position more than ten years ago.
The paralysis in front of me is by no means an alarmist.
His third brother was not a good person at all. In the eyes of others, it was a completely unworthy move, but in Li Jun's eyes, it was a different situation.
The Holy Spirit thought for a long time and asked: "You have been talking to him for two quarters of an hour. In your opinion, would he do that?"
"I don't dare to say for sure," Xu Jian lowered his eyes. "As you said, he is too crazy, and the madman's thoughts are all over the place. I am trying to persuade you, but whether you can listen to him or not depends on what he thinks."
The Holy Master sighed and asked again: "What do you think of King Jin?"
Xu Jian thought for a while and said: "I have not found any doubts about King Jin for the time being.
The person from Yongji Palace also has no evidence and is just talking nonsense.
I am afraid that if he really makes a fatal move, then the King of Jin, the Wise King, or other relatives of the emperor will suddenly attack.
He has died a hundred times, but he has left you with endless troubles."
The Holy One was deeply convinced: "He was imprisoned in Yongji Palace by his father. I have not treated him badly for more than ten years. I have done my best to be benevolent and righteous. I didn't expect that to this day, I still have to prevent him from committing suicide. It is really ironic."
"Your Majesty, it's easy to kill someone," Xu Jian looked at him, "It's difficult to prevent someone from committing suicide. How can the people around you prevent someone who is seeking death?"
"I can't tie him up, can I?" The Holy Emperor laughed at himself, and then shook his head, "No, I can neither tie him up nor make people watch him. If I go to Yongji Palace to make people available, I will play into his hands.
Once he dies, I will be the murderer, and it will be even more unclear than if I didn't care about anything and just watched him die!"
This is really a dilemma!
The saint looked tired and sighed: "I can say that I understand my second brother, but I don't understand him that well.
What would it be like if he went crazy? I'm not crazy at all, so how can I empathize with him?
But he really understands me, and he is right. I will not kill him at all, and I will not kill the third brother and eighth brother without any evidence.
Li Jun doesn't care about his reputation or what the censor wants to scold, I care very much."
Eunuch Cao looked at His Majesty worriedly.
What he was most worried about was actually that the Holy One would go to extremes.
In the history books, there are wise kings and dim kings, but the way to be a king itself is not so black and white, but more about taking both sides and weighing the pros and cons.
For those who are suspicious, either kill them directly or set up a trap to kill them. This is the king's power.
The Holy One is not incapable of making such plans and arrangements, but he is not to that extent.
At least, we have to wait for clear evidence.
You can’t leave all the royal relatives behind, right?
Those cruel methods are no longer a matter of fainting or not, but of the tyrant.
He has served the Holy Sage for so many years, how could he not know that the Holy Sage is completely incompatible with the tyrant's behavior!
"It is precisely because you care that you are the Holy One," Xu Jian said. "If you are still unhappy, you might as well ask the Queen Mother. She will definitely not agree with you being tricked by the man from Yongji Palace.
Do something unjust."
Thinking of the Empress Dowager, the Holy Father relaxed his brows slightly.
Xu Jian added: "I just thought of someone, the princess's grandmother, Madam Chengyi."
The sudden change of topic made Sheng Shang interested: "Oh?"
"In the words of the princess, my grandmother is an upright, self-denying, and stubborn old lady," Xu Jian laughed. "'Skin is more important than life,' these are the princess's original words."
The Holy Master laughed: "Ning'an is really so merciless to his elders."
"Grandma is kind to others. She is not willing to conflict with others even if she is in trouble. She is kind-hearted and can't bear to be bullied by others sometimes." Xu Jian thought for a while and then said, "The only tough thing she has done in these years is
My sister-in-law, who insists on surrendering, breaks off her engagement with Duke Xu."
The Lin and Su families had made a fuss over their divorce. From the time Su Ke was brought back to Shuntian Mansion to the time he was finally exiled from the capital, the Holy One had all the details. At this moment, listening to Xu Jian's mention of old events, he couldn't help but nod his head.
"It is reasonable for the Lin family to withdraw from the marriage. The Empress Dowager supports it, and so do I." His Majesty commented.
The focus of the Holy Spirit is precisely on the four words "reasonable and reasonable".
Because this is also his current dilemma.
"Yes, it must be reasonable," Xu Jian followed the Holy Master's words and said, "It was obvious that the Su family was unjust first and the Lin family was the last to withdraw from the marriage. The Duke of Xu's house also spawned many crooked and heretical ways in an attempt to confuse things.
If grandma wants to break off the engagement, she must do it cleanly and clearly, until both you and the Empress Dowager think she has done it thoughtfully and appropriately.
Only in this way can the dignity of Uncle Chengyi's house be maintained, and his own face should not be hurt.
You can understand this dilemma as soon as you hear it, because "the kindhearted are troubled by kindness."
Grandma is, and so is Your Majesty."
The Holy Father looked deeply at Xu Jian.
How could he not know these truths?
But when the minister said it, he agreed with every word, which still made the Holy Spirit feel gentler in his heart.
Xu Jian did not avoid His Majesty's gaze, and said sincerely: "I can't say for sure whether the man from Yongji Palace will do anything crazy, but I never want you to have thoughts like 'revenge' or 'never suffer from future troubles'"
, and rashly attacked the King of Jin, King Xian and other princes.
The one from Yongji Palace undoubtedly hates you. The two people he hates the most are you who are sitting on the throne, and the other who planned the incident in Baoping Town.
As for his revenge on you, besides pulling you down from the throne or making you miserable, there is another way.
It has destroyed your foundation and your way of being a king.
Whatever you used to impress the late emperor and the empress dowager, they will let you destroy.
If you did that, wouldn't you have fallen into Li Jun's trap?!"
The Holy Spirit has been unable to speak for a long time.
There was a lump of air in my chest, not because I was feeling depressed, but because my heart was trembling.
He heard determination in Xu Jian's advice, and he also read admiration in the tearful eyes of Eunuch Cao beside him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At the same time, he also heard his own voice.
He didn't want to do something like that and would rather kill someone by mistake than let it go.
It wasn't just that he didn't want to offend the late emperor, but that he himself was not that kind of person.
The principles of conducting oneself in the world overlapped with the current situation, and the fog made him feel irritable, but these irritations gradually dissipated at this moment.
The way for the king.
If he really wanted to write an article, he could write it on several sheets of paper eloquently.
However, no matter how high-sounding the writing is and its literary talent is outstanding, it will be praised by the courtiers and supported by the people. In the end, what will remain is the actual results.
It's a clear conscience.
It is the unity of mind and action.
Eunuch Cao said in a hoarse voice: "The younger one thinks so too, but he is too clumsy to say it. But the younger one also has a saying, Your Majesty, you always say that the late Queen is smart and that she has taught you a lot.
If the Queen knew better, would she be willing for you to force the princes who were not the real culprits to death in order to avenge her?
Does she want you to commit violence because of her after being a benevolent and wise king for more than ten years, and be scolded in the history books in the future?"
The Holy Spirit's eyes showed more determination.
Xu Jian didn't show it on his face, but he praised Eunuch Cao several times in his heart.
He is worthy of being a chamberlain who has been with you for many years. He is not very clever in saying things, but when he speaks, he goes straight to the heart: whatever the Holy Emperor cares about most, he will exert his strength in that direction.
"I understand," the Holy Sage sighed, "I will not do stupid things. It's just that Li Jun is biased in Yongji Palace. If something changes, he must deal with it carefully.
I will not sit back and watch him seek death, but I will not blindly be checked by him either.
If he really uses his life to plot against me, I do have a lot to explain to the officials, but I have a clear conscience.
Furthermore, it is a blessing in disguise, I am indeed very anxious, but I can also see bit by bit who is setting up the trap and playing with so many brothers."
It was getting late, so Eunuch Cao sent Xu Jian out.
"My lord, you have worked hard," he said as he walked.
Xu Jian said: "Without Eunuch Cao's hard work, it would never be easy to do things before the emperor."
"You're welcome," Mr. Cao said, "it's an honor for the Za family to serve an emperor like His Majesty. You see, whatever people say is reasonable or not, His Majesty will listen to it, and he will judge it after hearing it."
"Yes." Xu Jian nodded.
Eunuch Cao glanced at him and said in a low voice: "It's a blessing that I have the courage to say and do things like this, Eunuch Guo."
"It is precisely because the Holy One is willing to listen and understand right from wrong that the ministers dare to speak out," Xu Jian said. "My father-in-law, look at Uncle An Yi, look at several censors, which of them dare not speak out?"
Eunuch Cao laughed and nodded again: "That's what you said."
When we returned to Fu Guogong's mansion, the corridors were all lit up.
Walking all the way to the main courtyard, I looked up and saw that the south window was open and Lin Yunyan was sitting in the window. She turned around when she heard footsteps.
Their eyes met and she smiled.
Xu Jian looked at Lin Yunyan's smile, paused slightly, then quickened a few steps and entered the house.
Lin Yunyan smiled and asked him: "What were you thinking about just now?"
“I remember before we got married,” Xu Jian sighed, “Every time something progressed and I wanted to analyze and discuss it with you, I had to ask Mr. Chen’s family to send a message.
I thought at that time that I really had to get married, otherwise it would be really inconvenient.
It's okay now. If there is any new news today, I can tell you immediately."
Lin Yunyan couldn't help laughing.
No matter how relaxed the mood was, after hearing about the situation in the Imperial Palace and Yongji Palace this afternoon, he couldn't help but become serious.
"Li Jun is also more suspicious of Li Du," Lin Yunyan lowered her eyes, "This is actually the same as our view."
"There is also a lack of evidence," Xu Jian said. "Since there are no clues, we can't insist on Li Du not letting go, and we have to persuade the Holy One not to do anything. Fortunately, the Holy One was angry with Li Jun for a while, so he calmed down.
Just come down and it’ll be fine.”
Lin Yunyan nodded.
She and Xu Jian were of the same mind when it came to making this decision.
Don't take a seemingly "shortcut" for the sake of the truth.
If she was really willing to do anything for a shortcut, why would she have tried so hard to save Jin Shu in the first place?
It is important to catch Li Shao's mistakes, but one should not deliberately sacrifice Jin Shu who can be saved.
It is also important to deal with the people behind it and prevent future troubles forever, but unrelated relatives of the emperor and the country should not be allowed to die at the same time.
Moreover, if history serves as a guide, shortcuts can also be the path of no return.
The emperor is furious, and the courtiers are panicking. If things continue like this, instability will not only affect the court, but will also spread to the whole world.
And chaos in the world is definitely not the future that Xu Jian and Lin Yunyan want.
To take a step back, even if the person behind the scenes died in this chaos, there would still be Li Shao.
The Holy Spirit has untied himself and no longer insists on benevolence, justice and morality. So when he looks at his most beloved son in the future, what mistakes will arouse his dissatisfaction?
In the face of indulgence and preference, burning, killing, looting and looting are nothing.
The only way to make the Holy Father give up on Li Shao is to "kill his father".
But when the Holy One did not stand on the side of justice, even Li Shao's resistance seemed to be the side of Qingjun.
That's really ridiculous and sad, completely putting the cart before the horse.
The other side.
In the Yongji Palace, Li Jun was sitting on a soft cushion playing the piano, with his long hair hanging loose, looking very casual.
On the contrary, there was a pale-faced chamberlain kneeling under the hood on the side.
The waiter's head hit the floor tiles, and his shoulders were shaking.
There was a "clang" sound.
Li Jun glanced at the split fingernails and shook his head.
"My life is so delicious now," he said with a smile while touching his nails, "I can die any way I want, and I can bite anyone I want."
The waiter trembled and said: "What do you mean by these? I, I, don't understand."
"You don't understand?" Li Jun raised his eyebrows, "You will always have to carry your back, right? Otherwise, what would Li Du do to raise you?"
"What Li Du? You, you mean Prince Jin?" The chamberlain's voice trembled violently, "How could a slave like me get into the eyes of Prince Jin? I am from Yongji Palace, I don't dare..."
"Okay," Li Jun interrupted the chamberlain, "It doesn't matter if it's Li Du, Li Yuan, or anyone else named Li.
After all, there is that one person who will make you eat everything you want in Yongji Palace.
Alas, you can't say that.
Yongji Palace is a forbidden palace, everything I eat belongs to Li Yi, and you haven’t eaten anything from me, so you can steal anyone.”
With that said, Li Jun stood up, walked barefoot in front of the chamberlain, stepped on the other person's shoulder, and made a cold sound.
"I'm tired of Li Yi. A man with no ambition and no ability took away the throne. He doesn't deserve it! So even though I knew you were plotting against me back then, I wanted to give you a chance to pull Li Yi down."
"Of course, in exchange of equal value, for the life I gave you, you have to exchange me for something worth it."
"If you can't do it, then I can only do the next best thing and find Li Yi to join forces to get rid of you. I will definitely die anyway. If I can't fulfill my wish, I might as well avenge an old revenge."
After saying this in one breath, Li Jun took off his feet and asked the waiter: "Have you remembered all the above sentences?"
It's not the case if the waiter answers, and it's not the case if he doesn't answer.
Li Jun didn't care whether he should answer it or not, and said again: "Don't miss a word, tell your master every word!"
After saying that, he kicked the waiter: "Now, get out of here!"
The chamberlain stumbled, lost his footing and fell on his butt. Seeing Li Jun's sinister expression, he didn't dare to say anything. He crawled out using his hands and feet and disappeared without looking back.
