The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 300
The emperor was lying on the dragon bed, looking at Jia Ke, he felt a burst of warmth in his heart. This loyal minister still wanted to plan for himself. Maybe still stable.Once he dies, based on today's performance, the new emperor will not spare him.

The emperor smiled and said softly, "Jia Aiqing, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Jia Ke knelt there, breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Long live, my minister's suggestion is as follows: First, although the emperor abdicated as the supreme emperor, he is the master of the world after all. From now on, there will be no soldiers and horses in the world. Even the new emperor is not allowed to mobilize a single soldier."

After Jia Ke uttered this first suggestion, the emperor's eyes lit up immediately. Jia Ke's words seemed to open a window in a closed room to let sunlight in. Yes, he just decided to abdicate , but did not say that he would also give power to the new emperor, it seems that Jia Ke is thoughtful for me.

The eyes of the empress who was sitting next to her also lit up. As long as the emperor did not lose her power, she would still be the lord of the six palaces and the most honorable woman in the world, no matter if she was the empress or the empress dowager.Even if the new emperor knows what happened back then, so what? Can he still lock up his aunt in the cold palace when the Supreme Emperor is around?
After hearing Jia Ke's first suggestion, the emperor couldn't wait to say: "Continue."

"My second suggestion is that from now on, the appointment and dismissal of all officials above the third rank in the imperial court must be decided by the emperor himself. The new emperor can only appoint and dismiss officials below the third rank."

When the emperor heard this, the smile on his face could no longer be concealed. In this way, the new emperor could only help him handle the government affairs, and the power of the world was still in his hands, and those civil servants, for their own status, would not Completely rely on the new emperor's side, as long as he is still there, then the power will not be out of balance.

Seeing the satisfied smile on the emperor's face, Jia Ke was also relieved, so he went on to say his third suggestion: "From now on, all the new emperor's orders must go through the Military Aircraft Department. If the new emperor's orders are against Common sense. The chief minister of the military aircraft department has the right to reject it, or ask the Supreme Emperor to make a decision."

Jia Ke's first two ideas were all for the emperor's sake, and this last idea was to get some protection for himself. It can be said that the first two ideas were a cover for the last idea. As long as the emperor agreed, he would be able to There is time for more preparation.

After Jia Ke finished his suggestion, the other four military ministers in Kunning Palace were already blown up. If Jia Ke's method is followed, although the new emperor has a title, the power of the world is still in the hands of the Supreme Emperor At that time, the Supreme Emperor will be able to abolish the new emperor and establish a new one at any time.Then what benefits can they gain by desperately supporting the new emperor?However, Jia Ke took this opportunity to have the right to refute the emperor's imperial decree, so his power was almost comparable to that of the new emperor.

How could the other four Ministers of Military Aircraft allow this kind of thing to happen, otherwise the four of them would have become puppets of mud puppets, a decoration of the Military Aircraft Department, so these four began to refute Jia Ke with various reasons.

"I think it's impossible. There will be two days in the sky, and there will be two monarchs in the country, which will make the subjects at a loss. Jia Ke is bewitching the people." Pan Yong, as a vanguard, was the first to come out to oppose it.

After Pan Yong finished speaking anxiously, he continued: "In this way, the position of the new emperor is not stable, and the princes may have the heart to peep at them. At that time, brothers and sisters will be included. Please, the emperor, for the sake of the ancestors, the people of Jijiang and Shanshan , you must never listen to Jia Ke's gossip to deceive the public."

Liu Yu crawled forward and knelt down a few steps and said, "If we do what Jia Ke wants, why make a new emperor. Jia Ke is afraid of losing power at this moment, and he is bewitching His Majesty. Your Majesty should kill Jia Ke first, and then establish a new emperor."

Zuodu Censor Tian Ye was more direct, "I second the proposal, Your Majesty, please behead Jia Ke immediately to put the world at ease, otherwise there will be disasters like Xiao Qiang in the future."

The emperor was very happy at first, but when he saw the faces of the following people turned livid.These people seem determined to follow the Third Prince.The three princes haven't ascended the throne yet, so they don't take themselves seriously as the emperor.

"Shut up for me, I haven't abdicated yet, you people just want to please the new emperor, see if you take me seriously, I can make him emperor, and I can also depose him as a commoner immediately." The emperor was really angry, and he even said all the words about being a common man.

The emperor is now becoming more and more suspicious of the third prince. He has not ascended the throne yet, and these people want to deprive himself of his rights. Once he ascends the throne, he can still have his own interests. It seems that he still has to listen to Jia Ke. Leave yourself some way out, otherwise, you won't even be able to guarantee a good death.

Only now did the emperor see who was a loyal minister and who was a traitor. These civil servants seemed to have long wanted to let the third prince ascend the throne.If it wasn't for the fact that the third prince was the most promising among his sons, and he could guarantee the inheritance of the country, he would have disposed of him long ago. Now these ministers are looking at this, so they are confident.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more annoyed he was, and he wanted to issue an order to push all these people out to kill him, but reason stopped him. The words of these four people did not represent only the four of them, but the four major factions in the court Without them, there are others in the court who will definitely support the third prince, and if they are killed, there may be turmoil in the court.During this period of time, his condition has continued to deteriorate, and his control over the courtiers has become weaker and weaker.If Jia Ke hadn't been loyal and suppressed them all the time, they would have forced the palace a long time ago.It's better to be still than to move.

The emperor suppressed this breath, and began to ponder in his heart, what kind of benefits did these three princes give them?He actually attracted so many courtiers to support him. I killed a group of them a while ago, and now a group of them will appear immediately. It seems that I must not listen to their words, otherwise, with the means of my third son, I am afraid that I will not survive much. It's been a month.

The old emperor frowned and continued to think, it seemed that he had to make a decisive decision, otherwise his third son didn't know what to do, and he had to immediately dispel all his delusions.Let him be honest when he is alive, and he can't control so much after he dies.

So the emperor said categorically: "Jia Ke's words are very consistent with my will. After the new emperor ascends the throne, there is no will from me, and he cannot mobilize all the soldiers in the world. The appointment and dismissal of officials above the third rank must come from my will, and the new emperor's will must be After passing through the Military Aircraft Department, if its intention is contrary to common sense, the head minister of the Military Aircraft Department has the right to reject it, and if the new emperor is dissatisfied, he can hand it over to me for a decision."

Several other military ministers saw that the emperor was so firm, and knew that the matter was irreversible.They were too careless just now, and they got into Jia Ke's trap unknowingly.

If they hadn't opposed desperately and made the emperor more worried about his status, Jia Ke's treacherous plan would not have succeeded. Even if the third prince ascended the throne, he would be nothing but the emperor's puppet.As long as the emperor is slightly dissatisfied, the third prince may be deposed.

Regardless of what they thought, the emperor directly said to them: "I am a little tired, please step back."

So the five military ministers wanted to withdraw, but at this time the emperor added another sentence, "Jia Ke stay here, I have something to say."

Except for Jia Ke, the four military ministers were a little dumbfounded at this moment, and the emperor had no cover for his dissatisfaction with the four of them.It seems that before the death of the emperor, I am afraid that I will not be able to take any action.Otherwise, if he is remembered by the emperor, he will probably be ruthlessly suppressed.

When Jia Ke heard the emperor's will, she immediately stopped.The other four military ministers had no choice but to withdraw from Kunning Palace.

After the four ministers withdrew, the emperor couldn't help but shed tears. These people were selected by him personally and entrusted with important tasks. Unexpectedly, these people turned their backs on him one by one for their own interests.

Seeing the emperor crying, the queen gently wiped it off with a handkerchief, grabbed his hand and said softly, "It's okay, don't you still have me? As long as I'm here, no one else can touch you." At the end of the speech, there was a heroic air in his tone, it seemed that he remembered the time when he put on his gown and confronted Prince Yizhong himself.

The emperor patted the queen's hand, and then said to Jia Ke who was kneeling aside: "You really did not disappoint me. These civil servants are all unfamiliar white-eyed wolves. It's still you nobles, the critical moment Being able to stand on my side. It’s a pity that disaster happened more than ten years ago, otherwise this world wouldn’t be like this.”

Jia Ke knelt there and reported to the emperor again: "These civil servants are different from the ministers. They all started from the imperial examination, and whoever becomes the emperor has little influence on them. And these people hold the right to speak in the world. Once they gain power, It must be unscrupulous, and the new emperor will probably be just a puppet in their hands. I just hope that your majesty will teach the new emperor a lot of time to fight for your majesty. We will see through their plots in the future."

At this time, the emperor looked at Jia Ke with admiration. He didn't expect this warrior to have such insight, but even he could see through it. Why couldn't his third son see through it?Maybe he has seen through it too, but he is confident that he can control this force, but he doesn't know that if there is no balance, he, the emperor, is just a puppet.

The emperor now feels that he is incapable of teaching the new emperor, and the new emperor's mind has grown, so he may not be so easy to accept his point of view. His only goal now is to die well, not to die suddenly as in the history books.

"As for the new emperor, let him go. I'm afraid I can't teach him anymore. Now I just want to protect myself." The emperor said helplessly.

Jia Ke knows that the emperor is not as bad as he looks now. In Dream of the Red Chamber, even without Jia Ke's help, the old emperor is still suppressing the new emperor. When he understands how terrifying it is to have military power, he will no longer be afraid of those civil servants.

"What do you think I should do next in order to preserve my wealth and life?" the emperor asked helplessly. He was still a little apprehensive about his future. I don't feel so safe.

"Your Majesty don't have to worry. The new emperor will take all civil servants from all over the world under his command. As long as the army of the world is still on His Majesty's side, they won't cause any trouble." Jia Ke said fearfully.
