As soon as Jia Ke said these words, it was like poking a hornet's nest, and the remaining four military ministers started to attack Jia Ke together.
"Shut up, Jia Ke, you are trying to alienate the relationship between the emperor and the new emperor like this. You are very cruel."
"Yes, your Majesty, please deal with Jia Ke immediately, otherwise the father and son may be separated by then."
"Your Majesty, Jia Ke's words are harmful to the country. If the Emperor listens to his words, the country may never have peace."
The queen looked at the people kneeling on the ground expressionlessly, and then asked Jia Ke: "You heard what they said. What do you have to say in your own defense?"
Jia Ke has already understood the current situation. I'm afraid the emperor will never trust these four military ministers again. Now that they don't know the emperor's specific condition, these people have begun to urge the emperor to abdicate. That's so unfair.
wisdom.
Maybe it wasn't that they were unwise, but that they had already taken refuge in the new emperor and there was no room for turning back.
Jia Ke already had a way to deal with the queen's question. That was to learn from Cao Pi. Back then, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were competing for the throne. Cao Zhi was so talented that Cao Pi couldn't match him. In the end, Cao Pi adopted Sima Yi's strategy, and every time
When Cao Cao went on an expedition, Cao Zhi praised his virtues and wrote a lot of psalms. But Cao Pi silently knelt aside and shed tears for Cao Cao. Cao Cao therefore thought that he was pure filial piety, so Cao Pi succeeded in seizing the throne.
Besides, even if this trick doesn't work, with his martial arts already arranged in the Imperial Guard, he can catch all these people in one fell swoop. Although he has not yet completely controlled the world's army, it will be a little troublesome to clean up the mess in the future, but it is better than sitting still and waiting for death.
.
Now that he had an idea and an escape route planned, Jia Ke didn't say much now, just knelt aside and kept crying.
When the emperor saw this situation, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, thinking that he had not completely misjudged the person in his life. This Jia Ke was indeed loyal to him and had always planned for himself, the old emperor, and did not seek to please for the sake of glory and wealth.
New Emperor.
You must know that if Jia Ke pleases the new emperor now, he will definitely be a minister of Conglong in the future. Even if he cannot continue to serve as the minister of military aircraft, glory and wealth are certain. If he still supports himself now, he will probably be liquidated when he dies.
It's a pity that I am seriously ill in bed now and I'm afraid I won't be able to protect him for much longer.
The emperor lay on the bed and coughed, and then said softly: "There is no need to talk about this anymore. I know Jia Ke's loyalty. Just talk about the passing of the throne."
Pan Yong couldn't wait to kneel out that time, and there he began to play: "Your Majesty, I think that the third prince is talented, intelligent, diligent and studious, and he is quite popular. He can succeed to the throne."
Immediately after, Lei Ying, the Minister of War, also knelt down and said: "The third prince, the watch of the sun, is tolerant to others and strict in self-discipline. If he succeeds to the throne, his country will be stable."
"No, the third prince's biological mother was born in a lowly position. If he succeeds to the throne, how can he obey the public?" Tian Ye, the censor of Zuodu, objected. "I think King Zhongshun has a noble character and an extraordinary background. If he succeeds to the throne, the world will definitely obey him."
After hearing what Tian Ye, the censor of Zuodu, said, Liu Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, immediately objected: "No, although King Zhongshun is of noble birth, he was once reprimanded by the emperor. If he becomes emperor immediately, how can he teach the world?"
The four people were fighting for nothing more than two candidates, the third prince and King Zhongshun. The third prince has not been crowned king because of his mother. This is his disadvantage. And King Zhongshun is not much better.
He was reprimanded by the emperor because he invited all the ministers to a banquet in the palace, almost delaying the urgent military situation, and used the treasure to rectify the people. This is tantamount to telling the world that the loyal and obedient king will never become the emperor.
But among the emperor's sons, only these two have some ability. The others are nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun. If they are allowed to become emperors, the country may not be preserved.
After hearing their candidates, the emperor did not immediately express his opinion, but asked Jia Ke next to him: "Which one of these two princes do you think can be the emperor?"
As soon as the emperor asked this question, the four military ministers immediately focused their eyes on Jia Ke.
Jia Ke didn't expect to ask him. He was stunned for a moment, and then thought carefully. In Dream of Red Mansions, the person married in Yuanchun is the real emperor and the heir in the emperor's heart.
Now that the third prince has married Jia Yuanchun, it seems that the third prince's luck is destined to be the next emperor. However, through secret disc investigation, Jia Ke knows that it is the third prince who has been in trouble for him, and presumably the emperor also knows about it.
. This should be the emperor testing himself to see if he should deny the third prince for his own selfishness, or if he should forget his personal grudges for the sake of the country and the country.
Moreover, Jia Ke just saw four military ministers arguing there. They said that King Zhongshun was also qualified to inherit the throne. In fact, it was just a double act on their part. If the four ministers all supported the third prince, it might arouse the emperor's suspicion. Now it seems that they are using
When King Zhongshun and the third prince came out to fight, in fact, they had already said openly or secretly that King Zhongshun was not suitable to be the emperor. It seemed that these civil servants had reached an agreement. But this time, he wanted them to accompany his wife and lose their troops. It was the third prince who boarded the arena.
The throne also made him a puppet behind the scenes.
Jia Ke pretended to think for a while, and then reported back to the emperor: "Your Majesty, if I have to choose one, I would choose the third prince. The third prince is fair and talented. If he inherits the throne, he will surely inherit the country for thousands of years."
In fact, when Jia Ke finished saying this, he began to secretly hate himself. It seemed that the emperor really had no family ties. He had done his best for him and repaid his kindness. He didn't expect that he would still test himself at this time.
, it seems that he does not fully believe in his loyalty.
The other four military ministers had no idea that Jia Ke would recommend the third prince. Although the third prince had opposed Jia Ke several times and acted secretly. But after all, there is no airtight wall in the world, not to mention so many ministers acting together, there is nothing else.
Is there any secret? Therefore, everyone knew that the third prince and Jia Ke would not deal with each other. Unexpectedly, Jia Ke recommended the third prince now, and they couldn't help but be surprised.
Among these four people, Lei Ying, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Tian Ye, Yushi of Zuodu, were both very upright people. At this time, they ignored Jia Ke's personal grudges and recommended the wise master. This kind of excellence in personal character made them feel
They admired him from the bottom of their hearts, and at the same time they also made a decision in their hearts. If the new emperor still wanted to kill Jia Ke after he ascended the throne, they would definitely not stand idly by.
After listening to Jia Ke's words, the emperor smiled again. Jia Ke seemed to be loyal to the country and did not put his personal feelings on national affairs. So he said softly: "Since four ministers recommended the third prince,
That's settled. I will abdicate as the Supreme Emperor and pass the throne to the third prince."
As soon as the emperor finished his announcement, the four military ministers except Jia Ke couldn't wait to kneel on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."
The emperor looked at the four of them with no expression on his face. Although he didn't want to abdicate, he knew that his body couldn't hold on any longer. He had no choice but to compromise for the sake of his ancestors, and he might have to live in the shadow of the new emperor from now on.
He couldn't help but think of Jia Ke's words: How many emperors in the past and present have died a good death? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, as if he saw a eunuch holding a glass of poisoned wine to his mouth.
The four military ministers thought that the matter was settled, and that the third prince was about to ascend the throne and take charge of the power and dominate the world. The four of them, as meritorious ministers and generals, held the power of the world and assisted the third prince to become a generation of holy kings.
Now the emperor felt confused and frightened, while the other four military ministers were rejoicing. These people did not pay attention to the emperor's expression and only thought that the situation was now determined.
But Jia Ke was paying attention to the emperor all the time. He saw the emperor's face was filled with sadness, and the muscles on his eyes and face were twitching constantly. There was also a light of fear in his eyes. Knowing that what he just said, in
The emperor had already taken root in his heart.
Jia Ke felt relieved now. He knew that the emperor did not completely believe in the new emperor. If it weren't for his health and he really couldn't hold on, he would never pass on the throne.
Jia Ke smiled slightly and had an idea. Now is the time to give this emperor and the future new emperor a stumbling block. If the new emperor who is about to take the throne has some brains and a little filial piety, the Supreme Emperor will definitely do it.
I was so grateful that when the two of them became united, it would be difficult for me to handle it.
Jia Ke's heart turned like lightning for a few times before he came up with a solution. He decided to give advice to the Supreme Emperor and let the emperor learn from the Emperor Qianlong on earth, and he could just be He Shen, but He Shen didn't know how to do it.
Just sit back and wait for death like on the earth. When the supreme emperor dies, it will be the time for him to take charge of the world. When Jia Ke thought about it, he was fully prepared, and no matter how hard he tried, the new emperor could not escape from the palm of his hand.
So Jia Ke knelt down again, and then reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, although the third prince can ascend the throne as emperor, he is inexperienced after all. If he rushes to take charge of the world, he may cause trouble. I have some words that I don't know should be said appropriately.
speak."
The emperor has now fallen into his own imagination. He has been married several times now. He feels that the new emperor will definitely not spare him. I am afraid that he does not have much time to live. He now decides to pass the throne with the determination to die.
, just to continue the ancestral lineage, even if you drink that glass of poisonous wine, you will have the face to meet your ancestors underground.
He was getting more and more sad and had reached the point where he couldn't control himself. Now that Jia Ke asked for advice, he couldn't cheer up at all. But as his loyal minister, Jia Ke couldn't let him end up, so he had to be gentle.
He said: "Jia Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just tell me, while I can still make the decision."
It seems that the emperor is asking Jia Ke, his favorite, to make some demands while he can still make the decision to protect himself. If it is possible to give him a death-free gold medal, even if the new emperor is dissatisfied with him, it looks like
For the sake of this gold medal, I don't dare to deal with Jia Ke openly, otherwise he will lose his reputation.
"Your Majesty, although the third prince ascended the throne and became the emperor, and Your Majesty abdicated the throne as the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor cannot abandon the people of the world right away. I have a few suggestions for the Emperor to consider." Jia Ke said calmly and calmly.
