Chapter 475: Palace Fighting Is Better To Rebel (12)(2/2)
Moreover, when the Zhao and He families formed an alliance, it was Feng Shou who brokered the alliance and tried his best to persuade the late emperor.
Feng Shou's loyalty to the late emperor was unquestionable, but he did not hate Empress He because of his loyalty to the late emperor.
On the contrary, seeing Empress He being suppressed by the late emperor, Feng Shou felt some sympathy and secretly provided some help.
...For several reasons, Feng Shou tried his best to teach Zhao Gui.
As for Yongcheng Emperor Zhao Gui, because of the late emperor's partiality and indifference, he was particularly thirsty for father's love.
Although Feng Shou could not replace his father, he also gave Zhao Gui the care of a male elder when he was a child.
The two are called master and apprentice, but their relationship is even deeper.
So later, when Feng Shou found out that Empress He was the one who caused the death of the late emperor, he did not take revenge.
He even persuaded the late emperor, who was seriously ill and dying, to make Zhao Gui the crown prince.
Of course, Queen He already had an absolute advantage at that time, and the late emperor's refusal would not affect the overall situation.
However, it is more justifiable to get the late emperor to speak.
After Emperor Yongcheng ascended the throne, he would not suffer criticism and slander.
As a die-hard adviser to the late emperor, it was not easy for Feng Shou to do this for Emperor Yongcheng!
In addition, he also swore before the late emperor's bedside that he would assist the prince well and not let the Zhao family be cut off in his hands.
In this way, Feng Shou, who had been an idle worker for more than ten years, was granted the title of Zhongshu Ling by the late emperor, and assisted the new emperor together with Wang Yuan and Zhao Shuo.
Feng Shou is probably the only one among the three ministers who is willing to let Emperor Yongcheng take charge as soon as possible.
He is also the only person who does not mix personal interests or family glory, but only thinks about Emperor Yongcheng.
"Sir, you are here!"
Emperor Yongcheng walked out quickly and met Feng Shou outside the palace gate. He bowed deeply.
Seeing Emperor Yongcheng's respectful and admiring look, Feng Shou, who was anxious and angry, immediately suppressed all his emotions.
well!
Although the emperor was a little "naive", he was pure in nature, and since he was young, his actions were inevitably imperfect.
As an elder, you should not always be angry or scold, but should patiently teach and advise!
Feng Shou took a deep breath and tried to comfort him from the bottom of his heart.
A few months ago, Feng Shou's old wife died of illness, and he left Beijing to take care of the funeral arrangements.
He broke up with his family, but the wife the family chose for him has been with him through thick and thin for more than thirty years.
He respected his wife very much. In the early years, he was first expelled from the clan and became a bandit. Then he rebelled with the late emperor.
The wife was frightened and had to face the pursuit of the government and the interception and killing by warlords from all sides, which really made her suffer a lot.
The only pregnancy she had was aborted while hiding from the rebels.
Later, when the new dynasty was established, many of Feng Shou's "colleagues" got rid of their bad wives and married beautiful ladies.
Compared with those men who have changed their minds and betrayed their trust, Feng Shou seems to have more reasons to stop his wife and remarry - heirs!
Even Feng Shou's wife advised Feng Shou to take a concubine if he really couldn't do it, as it would not cut off his family's bloodline.
Feng Shou did not agree. He turned to his wife and asked, "Bloodline? I don't even want my ancestors, so what kind of bloodline do I need?"
Having a son is to carry on the family line.
Feng Shou was already a lonely man. He even changed his surname and no longer recognized his ancestors.
He believes that there is really no need for him to continue his incense and continue his heirs.
It's not that he doesn't like children, but he feels that if his wife is implicated by him and loses the ability to have children, then he is destined to be childless.
The dirty and rotten families on his left and right have been wiped out in the flames of war. Feng Shou took his revenge and lost all obsession in his heart.
For the rest of his life, instead of going to Jiji camp to seek children and plan for inheritance, he might as well stay with his old wife, take on a few apprentices, and live a leisurely life.
It's a pity that his hermit life was ruined by the late emperor.
The late emperor made him a prince, and before his death, he dragged him back into the quagmire of the court.
Feng Shou and the late emperor had a good relationship. They achieved each other's achievements and supported each other. One relied on the late emperor's troops to avenge his death, and the other relied on Feng Shou's decisions to seize the country.
Feng Shou was grateful to the late emperor.
Therefore, even though he did not want to enter the court, he still devoted himself to teaching the two princes.
Among the two princes, he valued Zhao Gui more.
For one thing, Zhao Gui is the legitimate son, and it is orthodox and standard for him to become the heir.
Secondly, Feng Shou sympathized with and felt indebted to He, and he did not want to overly humiliate such a woman.
The third reason is for the stability of the country.
If a dynasty wants to be stable and long-term, it must abide by etiquette and rules that are recognized by most people.
If the king acts recklessly and disregards orthodoxy, there will definitely be trouble in the court.
The foundation of the Dayuan Dynasty was not only built by the late emperor, but also included his hard work, Feng Shou.
Feng Shou didn't want Dayuan to die like Great Qin.
He tried his best to teach Zhao Gui and always persuaded the late emperor.
Later, the late emperor died and Zhao Gui ascended the throne. Although Feng Shou resented He's cruelty, he still tried his best to assist Zhao Gui.
It was just that his old wife died of illness a few months ago, and he wanted to send her coffin to a cemetery near the imperial mausoleum for burial, so he left her for more than half a year.
I thought that it would only be a few months and that with the help of Queen Mother He around Zhao Gui, there would be no trouble.
But... Feng Shou closed his eyes. When he thought of the things he heard on the road, he felt helpless and anxious.
Especially when he just returned to the capital last night, he heard a commotion outside——
"The Queen Mother wants to worship Wang Jiu Niang as her maid!"
Feng Shou was not Emperor Yongcheng, he was not that "naive".
Although he has not yet met Queen Mother He, he cannot find out her attitude face to face.
However, just this rumor among the people was enough to scare Feng Shou - Could it be that the He family had changed? She was unwilling to return the power to the little emperor?
She, she wants to continue to control the government and let the little emperor live in her shadow for the rest of his life and be a puppet in name only?!
Feng Shou couldn't believe it. After all, He had always been a good mother for her son.
It was because he trusted He too much that Feng Shou could safely leave for several months.
result--
Feng Shou hurriedly ordered people to collect information, and spent a whole night refining and summarizing these trivial information.
Then, Feng Shou was speechless and choked.
The emperor is so confused!
How can you be so ridiculous?
Even if there is any preference for the Queen Mother, she cannot test it so hard.
Promote the Hu family and suppress the He family?
For the sake of a woman born of a lowly maid, he refused the noble daughter of an aristocratic family chosen by the Queen Mother for him?
He even fainted his biological mother out of anger?!
When Feng Shou saw the news from the informant buried in the palace, he was immediately laughed out of anger.
Did Zhao Gui really think that he would be safe as the only son of the Queen Mother?
Who is the Queen Mother?
