Chapter 124 The biggest prisoner in the world(1/2)

Even if Gao Wei intends to block the news, the paper cannot contain the news. On the second day, rumors about the princess of the previous dynasty, Yuan Wenyao, and Yuan Jing'an intend to force the palace to coerce the emperor had already spread on a small scale, causing a certain sensation!

Last night, the deputy general of Qianqiu Gate sent a letter to the Prince's Mansion of Liyang County. Yuan Jing'an, the rank-in official who had been unemployed and had never been exposed after his unemployed family, exposed his connections among the chiefs of various Xianbei tribes, and gathered a large number of chiefs of Xianbei tribes kneeling at the palace gate to ask for an order to forgive him.

It is difficult for some people not to think of two words - forcing a palace!

Yuan Jing'an and Yuan Wenyao were pressed into the death row. When they waited for the defeat, the chiefs of each tribe were forced to be detained back to the house. Although the palace was very strict and it was difficult for the court officials to understand anything else, they could conclude that the whole story must not be that simple.

Some guys with keen feelings found that on this day, Jinyi, patrol battalion, and imperial guards were mobilized quite frequently, as if they were facing a great enemy, giving people a sense of oppression that was about to come. It made people both fear and curious. What happened in the palace that night?

This day is not the day of the court. Zhao Yanshen was resting at home. He was shocked after hearing the news, "Why are you telling me now!"

Several court officials from the cabinet visited the Zhao Mansion together. When they saw Zhao Yanshen's frightening white face, they were also surprised. They nodded for a moment and said, "We thought Zhao Xiang, you should have known in advance..."

Zhao Yanshen hurried to the main hall and walked, saying, "Tell me quickly, what happened in the palace last night?"

"Last night, the imperial palace was in chaos. All the imperial guards and the armored soldiers in the palace came out, saying that they were the order of His Majesty to search the palace and capture...the assassin..."

"Yes, the officials were in the cabinet at that time. The imperial guards had someone blocked the Zhaoyang Palace. The Minister of Justice Yuan came forward to negotiate with them. Later... he never came back..." A subordinate who was present at the time recalled carefully and said, "The Minister of Justice Yuan and the Commander of the Imperial Guard had a big argument. Later, the Minister of Justice Yuan left and said he was going to find His Majesty... I heard that the Minister of Justice Yuan was actually preparing to leave the palace to inform the Prince of Liyang to prepare early..."

"I'm confused!" Zhao Yanshen lowered his feet and paused his chest, "Yuan Wenyao... I repeatedly mentioned him to him, telling him not to have distracting thoughts and selfish desires, and concentrate on his own affairs. He... How dare he coerce His Majesty like this? Now he is absolutely dead and dead..."

"Yuan Shilang Yuan has been smart for a lifetime, how could he do such an unwise move? This is really..."

"Hmph, according to me, he deserves to die!" Zheng Yu snorted coldly and said, "Look at who he saved? That is the remnant of the previous dynasty! Your Majesty trusts Yuan Wenyao so much, but Yuan Wenyao competes with Your Majesty for a remnant of the previous dynasty and is ungrateful! What would Your Majesty think? Yuan Wenyao, Yuan Jing'an... and those Xianbei tribes want to rebel?!"

"Shangshu Zheng's words are biased. If the Xianbei tribes say rebellion, they will never have the courage... It's just that the former Princess Wei was too heavy in their hearts, which led to them having to do this bad decision..." A Xianbei official said with a cold face: "But... it's just Yuan Wenyao, Yuan Jing'an, these two people did too much... It's like forcing the palace! It's not an exaggeration to kill them!"

"..." Zhao Yanshen glanced at him and said, "No matter what, it is the main thing to ask His Majesty for the reason... Come on! Get the car and drive, I am going to enter the palace to meet you!"

"Is Zhao Xiang trying to plead for Mr. Yuan?" Zheng Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is angry and will definitely not summon us..."

The implication is that Your Majesty will not summon him, and he will not listen to any words of pleading for Yuan Wenyao. He cannot say that the more he pleads, the more miserable Yuan Wenyao will die.

First, the Turks coerced His Majesty to marry, and then Yuan Wenyao threatened His Majesty to let go of the remnants of the former Wei Dynasty with the overall situation. All of these touched the emperor's reverse scales.

For the sake of the overall situation, Your Majesty promised to marry the Turks, and for the sake of the overall situation, he put down the butcher knife he raised, but patience will also have a limit. Who will the emperor's anger eventually vent?

Only Yuan Wenyao and Yuan Jing'an, but the butcher's knife will only fall on these two people who have already been marked with the remnants of the previous dynasty in His Majesty's heart.

Zhao Yanshen also understood, and sighed heavily, as if he had grown ten years older in an instant. "No matter what, our colleagues, both teachers and friends, always want to plead for mercy. Even if... they can't save people, it's good to go through the motions. It's also a matter of our efforts..."

A group of people were ready to go, but they saw that there were already many cars parked in front of Qianqiu Gate, and a group of court officials were waiting to meet the emperor outside Qianqiu Gate.

"So many people?" One person smacked his tongue.

Zheng Yu glanced at it and smiled disdainfully, "I don't know how many of them come to plead with us..."

When the wall falls, people push it, and when the drums are broken, tens of thousands of people hammer it. When it falls into the underworld, it is also the same in ancient times.

What's more, Yuan Wenyao committed such a serious crime. It would be fine if some political enemies were ready to take action. More and more people were probably the old story of Yuan Wenyao. It was often the ones who caused the most death to the people.

To be honest, Zheng Yu absolutely did not want to come. It is very unwise to risk being vented by His Majesty to save a person who has no hope of life...

Zhao Yanshen got out of the car, sorted out the court uniform, and asked Qianqiu Gate's guard to inform him, "Zhao Yanshen came to see Your Majesty..."

In Taiji Hall, Gao Wei received a notice from Qianqiu Gate. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold, "I'm here to plead again..."

"Ha..." He put down the jade he was playing with in his hand, "Tell them that I don't want to see anyone... Let me stay alone for a while..."

His eyebrows seemed to be frozen, and the face that gradually faded away the boy's childishness was filled with the vicissitudes of life. His voice was indescribable fatigue.

Lu Ran looked up at the emperor with distress, then retreated silently, letting His Majesty rest quietly alone. He knew how exhausted His Majesty has been in the past few months and often couldn't sleep all night for state affairs. Especially, after experiencing what happened last night, His Majesty felt very uncomfortable, and he needed a quiet place to rest...

After Lu Ran left, Gao Wei leaned on the couch, and all kinds of complicated thoughts lingered in his mind, struggling and entangled... Let him fall asleep gradually...

The faint clouds in the sky slowly crawled over, and the breeze blew across Gong Yu's eaves, and Lu Ran also tossed all night, leaning against the gate and slept for a while.

He was awakened by a slight sound of footsteps, "Who?"

He reacted very quickly and bounced up from the door panel and saw the queen wearing a plain dress walking through two rows of guards and slowly climbing up the steps. "Empress, Immortal..." Lu Ran hurriedly stepped forward to ask his worries.

"No gift..." Hulu Wan'er raised her hand and summoned him, "Is Your Majesty inside?"

Lu Ran said: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood. He has been struggling all morning and has been sleeping. Now he is taking a nap inside... Look, Empress?"

"Your Majesty has indeed suffered these days..." Wan'er sighed with pain, "I'll go see Your Majesty..."

Lu Ran waved his hand, and the four little eunuchs stepped forward quickly and gently pushed open the door of Tai Chi Hall.

Wan'er stepped in softly, and the four eunuchs closed the door again. Only the couple were left in the hall. Wan'er approached the imperial couch and took off her embroidered shoes to the couch. Gao Wei slept very heavily, not realizing that someone was approaching. However, in just a few days, His Majesty had lost weight. Wan'er covered her mouth and her eyes turned red in an instant.

But she is a weak woman, and she can't do anything for him...

Wan'er carefully moved Gao Wei's head to her legs, gently pressed Gao Wei's temples and eyebrows with her hands... Gao Wei seemed to feel very comfortable, so she leaned her head into her arms, and held her slender waist with both hands, and refused to let go of her.

"You are here..." Gao Wei said as if he was dreaming.

"Well..., have you woken up?" Wan'er became more and more careful in the massage. Gao Wei's nose was pressed against her lower abdomen and said softly: "No... I can't sleep anyway..."

"Is it very tired?"

"Well..." Gao Wei frowned and rubbed her legs, saying, "There are these shitty things every day... I've been annoyed..."

"If you are tired, go to bed... I'll press it for you... You have a good rest..."

As he pressed, Gao Wei suddenly grabbed her hand, "Wan'er, are I wrong?"

Wan'er was silent, "Why did Your Majesty feel this way?"

"In order to trade with each other, I let go of the remnants of the previous dynasty. Do you think... did I do something wrong? Or... I am a little indecisive and too soft-hearted?" Wan'er was stunned.

"I have high hopes for Yuan Wenyao, but Yuan Wenyao betrayed me... for the sake of a princess of the previous dynasty, he put me in a dilemma! Shouldn't he die?" Gao Wei said with a cold face and said ruthlessly.

"So many people come to plead for him... He knows how to be a human being...! From Yuanfu to the fifth-rank Chengzhilang, everyone comes to plead for him, begging me to open a message... Haha, don't think that everyone is well-managed by them, I will do what they want...!"

"Your Majesty..." Wan'er's forehead was pressed against Gao Wei's nose and looked at him. She said with a heartache: "Your Majesty, do you know? You have changed so much... You can't even smile..."

Gao Wei sighed, "Internal and external troubles, how can I laugh if you ask me?"

"Outside, Zhou State, Turkic, and Southern Dynasties surrounded wolves. Inside, the Xianbei nobles overpowered the court, the vassal kings were united, and there were natural disasters and man-made disasters... Xianbei and Han people were in opposition, aristocratic families were in opposition, and local government affairs were not restrained by the court... There was a shortage of military sources, millions of Xianbei tribes were empty wages, did not serve production, and did not pay taxes. The court's finances became increasingly difficult..."

"The deeper I understand, the more I realize that my court is a mess... To put it very disrespectful, only Wen Xiang and Xiao Zhao, the ancestors of the Great Qi Dynasty, can be regarded as wise kings... The rest..., including my imperial examination... are not worth discussing!"

"I am determined to work hard to cure the disease and dig up the paralysis, but there are many difficulties... There will be countless people standing in front of me. I don't want to kill people, but many times, I can't help myself..."

"For the sake of the court and the stability of the world, I often have to compromise with the current situation, compromise with the enemy, or even... compromise with my own ministers..."

He said: "It's such a pleasure to be this emperor...!"

"This throne... symbolizes the supreme and nobleness of the world, but I cannot feel the pleasure of the supreme at all. What it gives me is only a mountain of burden..." Gao Wei said: "This is a cage, and I am the biggest prisoner in the world..."

This identity of the emperor kidnapped him and turned him into a ruthless monster step by step.

Wan'er touched his forehead with distress and said, "Your Majesty is the supreme emperor in the world. Every word and action, every move involves the country and the country... How can you be happy and how can you do whatever you want as your wishes as your emperor?"

"Your Majesty doesn't have to blame yourself too much. Your Majesty has done a good job. Don't force yourself to look at you like this. I'm very sad..."

Wan'er said, "Your Majesty, don't blame your ministers too harshly. After all, no one is perfect... The world is difficult, and people all pay attention to good birds and trees to live in... Moreover, the Minister of the Yuan Dynasty may not be unfaithful to Your Majesty..."

Gao Wei said: "In this world, there are few absolutely loyal people..."

"But he was in contact with the previous dynasty... Not only was he Yuan Jing'an, but there were many people. Their hearts were not with me. They knelt on my face, and what they thought was the previous dynasty..."

"I think Your Majesty is wrong..." Wan'er said.

Gao Wei paused for a moment, "Do you think I shouldn't deal with them?"

Wan'er said: "They are concerned about the previous dynasty, but they may not be unfaithful to Your Majesty..." Gao Wei frowned, but still waited patiently to listen to her explanation, "If Yuan Wenyao is unfaithful to Your Majesty, why would he risk his life to persuade Your Majesty?"

"If those people really make bad plans, why should they stay in Yecheng until now?"

"They are just afraid that I will kill that person..." Gao Wei sneered.

Wan'er shook her head and said, "Does Your Majesty believe it?"

"Your Majesty believes that they will rebel?"

Gao Wei was silent.

Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that Your Majesty doesn't believe it either."

"After all, the former Wei Dynasty had only been in danger for twenty years. Many of the ministers of the court had received the kindness of the previous dynasty. How difficult was it to let them forget it?"

"Your Majesty is better to relax your mind and show the world a broad and broad side of the world instead of harsh criticism, make them wholeheartedly, doubt them, and beware of them..."

"As long as Your Majesty is a wise king, let the world be peaceful and the people's hearts be stable, your Majesty's country will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai... Not to mention that the Yuan female official is just a woman, even if she is a man, how can she treat Your Majesty?"

After Wan'er said this, she stopped talking. Gao Wei was silent for a long time, thinking a lot, and sighed inwardly that this is the case. The change of dynasties is common. We cannot expect everyone to be an absolutely loyal minister and general. Even if Yuan Yun is the princess of the previous dynasty, or if she is really Feng Xiaolian, what does it matter? Since he is already prepared, is he still afraid that he can't control her? He... is here to create history, and he can refer to it, but cannot fully trust it...

Gao Wei nodded and said, "The Queen is right... The authorities are confused, it is me who is obsessed with the appearance..."

He smiled bitterly, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "I feel that I've been a little crazy for a while..."

"Ah?" Wan'er obviously hadn't heard of this novel vocabulary.

"...it's just crazy...it should be...ah, don't bother with it, it's crazy anyway..."

Gao Wei's thinking fell into the emperor's inherent thinking. Now he broke free and felt much more relaxed. He suddenly thought of something and said, "I remember... I haven't seen my mother for a long time..."

"My mother, Changxin Palace, is living well, everything has a concubine. Your Majesty, don't worry..."

"Well," Gao Wei said, "...If you have time, go and spend more time with her... She is alone in Changxin Palace, and she will inevitably be lonely..."

"Okay." Wan'er agreed very simply.
To be continued...
