The situation in Shangjing has calmed down, and after the end of the tense situation, it's the midsummer season. The winter in the north is cold, but the summer is much cooler. It is no exaggeration to say that the best season of the year in Beijing has arrived.
The recent top priority of the Beiyan court was planning and preparing for the enthronement ceremony. The enthronement ceremony is scheduled for June 6. Although there is plenty of time, there are so many things to prepare, especially now that the relationship between the crown prince and the queen is very delicate. I have to say that these errands are very tricky.
The magical part of politics is that as long as there are people, there will be disputes. When Zhao Wulie of Beiyan is abolished, will the disputes be gone? Obviously, new contradictions have gradually surfaced, and new disputes are slowly brewing and highlighting.
Just like going to Beijing, it's like a stream after a torrential rain that gradually becomes more and more surging, but the dark tide in the stream is still turbulent, all the time, all the time...
Now as long as Beiyan people know, Tianhou Xiang will never be satisfied with hanging the curtain for a lifetime, she already has the heart to become an emperor! This can be seen from his use of officials. The officials of the imperial court are becoming more and more ruthless. As long as Yanzhao’s old officials do not support her existence, she will try to deal with them one by one. She has never been weak in the army.
She is constantly killing people and constantly weakening Yan Zhao's influence. Everything she has done is paving the way for her ascension to the throne. Under such circumstances, this time the prince's ascension ceremony is even more subtle.
There are still many old officials of Yanzhao who are not reconciled. They actively promoted this ceremony in secret, hoping to make this ceremony as grand as possible, but no matter how they deceive themselves, the reality is that they are in the planning process of this ceremony. , There are already local officials who have publicly offered auspicious auspiciousness after they have written to the heavens, saying that a phoenix flew from the south and flew to the palace...
Also, on the southern border, there is a grand scene of burning phoenix in the sky. It is said that these various heavenly signs indicate that Beiyan will usher in the era of the heroine of the world!
Although such offerings were put on the shelf by the Queen, and even ridiculed, none of the officials who pushed behind was reprimanded or punished. Instead, one of the most active county prime ministers was promoted to the Sect Province and became a subordinate. Supplements.
This behavior of the Queen is too unusual. Many of Zhao Yan's courtiers are very disgusted with it, but the general situation is unbelievable. Those who follow me will prosper against me and die. Under such circumstances, who dares to act? Who can do it?
If you come up a little bit, there will be a hard-working cruel staff to take action. The most powerful thing about cruel staff is that they are good at weaving all kinds of strange crimes. No matter how honest and honest officials are, under the control of cruel staff, they can become full of their forehead, and the crime deserves it.
And their most serious crime is treason. They want to add to the crime. The creed of cruel staff is that people should be put to death if there is no condition, and if there is no charge, they should be put to death. These humble, cruel, bloodthirsty and murderous officials have become the sharpest knives of the queen mother...
...
In the summer evening, the clouds were overcast and it was another sign of heavy rain. In the East Palace, Prince Zhao Dan held the silk cloth in his hand and looked up at the sky, his brows were filled with depression and irritability.
"It doesn't matter if such an emperor is improper! My Zhao family emperor enthroned, which time is not beautiful and vigorous, every time I announce to the world, and celebrate with all the world, this is a day of great joy.
But what is the thing brought by the Ministry of Rites? At Fengtian Hall, the Queen of Heaven was sitting on the seat, and I needed to kneel before him to receive the crown. Such a ceremony has never happened before in the history of the Kingdom of Yan! "Zhao Dan said, his voice was very low, his face was pale, and his hands trembled slightly.
Behind the screen, a figure slowly walked out, holding a folding fan in his hand, and said quietly: "Your Majesty, I will give you this fan, this scroll in your hand, and the one I gave you that day. In that painting, these three things actually only express one meaning, just one word:'Forbearance'!
You can't bear others, you can't bear the world, and your Majesty can't bear..."
"Forbearance? Mr. Fu Ye, is this something that Forbearance can solve? Forbearance can't solve the problem! Tell me, to what extent do I have to endure? The queen's goal is to become the emperor, is it possible that I, Beiyan, will still have Are the two emperors standing side by side?" Zhao Dan said happily.
Fu Ye closed the folding fan, and said unhurriedly: "Sometimes forbearance is to wait, the queen is at this age, but your majesty is still young. When the queen is old and dead, you are still in the prime of life! These days, you can't fight. People are consuming. As long as you live longer than your opponents, the victory will be yours after all, Your Royal Highness, do you understand what I say?"
A sorrowful color appeared on Zhao Dan's face, his lips lifted, and he tried to speak several times, but he couldn't say a word! He knew that Fu Ye was right, because he had nothing, nothing, Bei Yan belonged to that woman!
He can't even care about the three-acre land of the East Palace. Isn't a person like him a puppet when he becomes an emperor? Zhao Dan was unwilling to be reconciled. His ambitions were so great that he was more ambitious than Zhao Wulie. He wanted power and longed for power. He used to dream of sitting in the seat of the Ninth Five-Year.
But now he feels that sitting in that seat is too useless and too failed. This kind of depression is like the oppressive sky now, and it is really painful.
Fu Ye smiled slightly and said: "His Royal Highness, in fact, you don't need to be so eager for quick success and instant benefits. You always have to understand things in the world! Do you think about where your Majesty is at this time? He must be envious of your current life, because at least you still have a chance!
You are right. Since enthronement is just too long, why bother about it? At critical times, you can even apply for abdication, and you will still be the prince or even the prince.
But if you advance like your majesty, you may only be a prisoner, and you will lose hope in your life! Which of these two situations do you need? Is it difficult to choose which one? "
Zhao Dan smiled and said: "I understand, it's better to live than to die! I understand the truth, but I have been thinking about a problem recently, that is, if your teacher was so determined to deal with Lu Zheng, if I let him in the first place He couldn't succeed, instead he chose to cooperate with Lu Zheng. Will the ending be like today?
Don't you think that such a big thing, Beiyan's earth-shaking changes, in fact, a Dakang envoy played a key role? It was he who finally found the code to crack the problem, which turned things around and won the whole situation! If not, things are far from going to end so soon..."
Fu Ye frowned and sighed secretly in his heart. In fact, he has been reviewing the game recently and is also thinking about this issue. With his wisdom and calculations, he really couldn't figure out this matter, and couldn't tell how it would end.
Both the monarch and the minister fell silent. I don’t know how long it took. Fu Ye said, "One thing I have to admit is that Lu Zheng is above the teacher in terms of talents and resourcefulness. The teacher is defeated by what he said. No injustice! Now that I think about it, Zhong's father's family is known as the world's ghosts, and the teacher's wisdom is the only one in my life. Even your Highness can stand out, all thanks to the teacher's plan.
However, there is still a mountain high, and there are strong middle players in the strong middle, and this person Lu Zheng forced the teacher to dominate. And I can't match it, I'm willing to go down! "
"Oh!" Zhao Dan suddenly turned his head and stared at Fu Ye: "Oh, Fu Ye, do you sometimes admit defeat? This is amazing. Why didn't I see it before?"
Fu Ye smiled bitterly and said: "In this world, it is easy to fight for the strong, but it is difficult to admit defeat. I have experienced many Fu Ye, and I have seen more, especially after the recent setbacks, I probably want to understand many things too!
There are always some people in this world that make people desperate! For example, the existence of the queen makes your majesty despair, and your majesty despairs! And Lu Zheng's existence makes the teacher despair, but also makes me desperate!
Because they are the darlings of the heavens, they have more powerful scheming cities and luck than ours. This is something that there is no way, or even something that humans cannot do. In this case, it is better to face reality than to do nothing. , Confess generously and frankly, don't you think? "
Fourier paused, and then said: "As the saying goes, taking a step back is broad and broad. When I realized the benefits of taking a step back, my mood suddenly became bright and I was dissatisfied with my previous attachments!
Your Highness, look at the world outside. How vast is the world? How small are the masses of sentient beings in God's eyes? Throughout the ages, there have been so many sages, each of them is better than you and me, and each of them can influence the world. However, they all ended up the same, all turned into dust, all disappeared without a trace, and became nothingness.
Therefore, forbearance is not a word, but an attitude of being in the world. If your Royal Highness learns this word, he will be reborn like that silkworm chrysalis!
Today’s you are different from yesterday’s, just because of the word ‘forbearance’. Your Majesty, may you understand the painstaking effort of the minister? "
Zhao Dan closed his eyes, tears flowed, and said: "If you don't understand, you can only understand. I am a fish with a knife. How can I do it?"
Zhao Dan clapped his hands lightly, and said, "No matter what, I want to see Lu Zheng! He is about the same age as you. I don't ask Lu Zheng to help me much. I just hope I can understand from him what you said. The word'forbearance'. My world will be the same as the weather covered by the dark clouds from a few days, and there will be no sunny days from now on!
Day after day, year after year, never see the end, haha..."
Zhao Dan laughed, and Zhan Shi from the Prince's Mansion came in neatly and said: "His Royal Highness, the guests you invited have arrived!"
"Ah..." Zhao Dan was taken aback for a while, and said in surprise: "Here? It's really here? Please, please! Come on, change the clothes in this palace, and see the distinguished guests in this palace!
By the way, take the best Dongding Yuqian tea and give Master Lu Zheng a cup of tea..."
After Zhao Dan's order was issued, the East Palace was very busy, Fu Ye saw this scene, and his heart was like an overturned five-flavored bottle. It's not easy to admit defeat, and it's even harder to admit counsel. Deep down in Fu Ye's heart, he still hasn't accepted defeat. It's 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Fu Ye firmly believes that no matter how strong Lu Zheng is, he will not be able to survive forever.
Just like the **** of war Chu Tianba, Chu Tianba was the ruler of Beiyan twenty years ago, but twenty years later he could only be reduced to a slaughtered lamb.
But at this moment, Fu Ye could only bow his head, because he said "tolerance" to Zhao Dan everywhere. If he couldn't bear it, how could he set an example for Zhao Dan?
Lu Zheng sat in the living room of the East Palace. Zhao Dan gave the highest standard of hospitality. His attitude was extremely humble, and he showed respect and respect for Lu Zheng everywhere.
It's hard to imagine that the two were mortal enemies within a few months. The two sides fought to the death again and again on the front from Dakang to Beiyan. At that time, Zhao Dan, had he ever thought that he would have today?
Lu Zheng sipped the tea and said, "Your Majesty, your enthronement ceremony is coming soon. I stay in Beijing to witness a grand event. You have become the new majesty of Beiyan. From then on, our two countries will no longer be separated, and it will be forever. With good friendship, the people of the two countries will always be safe and healthy!"
Zhao Dan said: "That's for sure! This palace admires your Dakang culture very much, and has always yearned for the magnificent scenery of Jiangnan in my heart. It's a pity that I have grown so big and I have never witnessed the beauty of Jiangnan's prosperity! "
Zhao Dan paused, and said: "I remember the poem of the son, who wrote:'Jiangnan is good, the scenery is old and familiar, the sunrise and the river are red and the fire, and the river is green as blue in spring, can you remember Jiangnan?' My palace often reads it. By this poem, it is hard for me to hold on to myself, and I deeply feel that my knowledge is shallow!"
Lu Zheng nodded and said: "His Royal Highness, let me tell you, I was very worried before I came here. Now it seems that you and I can talk about poetry. This is great! This shows that at this time, at another time, you and I were Enemy, the situation is compelling, and now you and I write poems about wine and poems, it is the true temperament of your Highness!"
Lu Zheng looked at Fu Ye behind Zhao Dan, and said, "Mr. Fu Ye, I wonder if Mr. Fu agrees with what I said?"
Fu Ye hurriedly said, "Master Lu is too polite. I agree with you most! I often think with His Highness, as if His Highness did not make you an enemy, but from the very beginning, he made friends with you. Won't it be like now?"
Lu Zheng laughed and said: "That will definitely not, because in any case, I can guarantee one thing, then there will be no enthronement ceremony of His Highness in Shangjing now! Your Highness can't become Beiyan's Majesty, haha..."
Lu Zheng laughed and laughed very freely and happily. Fu Ye and Zhao Dan also laughed together, but they laughed so hard they wanted to cry!
This kind of enthronement ceremony is the greatest pain for Zhao Dan. If Zhao Wulie is already in the court, what a good situation! At least, things in the world can't be settled yet, and now, everything is fixed, waiting for Zhao Dan and Fu Ye to be the only painful suffering and endless humiliation...
